General Election

SetonHill October 23, 2014 October 22, 2014

As I am sure you’ve noticed, the MD General Election is right around the corner. Early Voting starts tomorrow; the General Election is 4 November.

Sample ballots were sent out via mail, but you can also view them here: 2014 Sample Ballot.

General Election – 4 November 2014

Early Voting for the General Election – 23 October 2014 – 30 October 2014 from 10am until 8pm. Your polling location is here, University of Maryland Baltimore 621 W. Lombard Street, 2nd Floor Baltimore, MD 21201.
On 4 November 2014, your polling station is located here, Providence Insp Bap Church, 850 Edmondson Ave. Voting is from 7am to 8pm.

Some voting rules to be aware of:

1. You can bring one or two children under 18 years old with you to vote. Under Maryland law, the children can accompany you as long as they do not disrupt or interfere with normal voting procedures. (Election Law Article, sec. 10-308, Annotated Code of Maryland).
2. You cannot use your cell phone, pager, camera, and computer equipment in an early voting center or at a polling place.
3. You can bring any printed material – including your marked specimen ballot – to help you vote.
4. Some first time voters in Maryland will be asked to show ID before voting. If you are asked to show ID, please show an election judge one of the following forms of ID:
– A copy of a current and valid photo ID (i.e., Maryland driver’s license, MVA ID card, student, employee, or military ID card, U.S. passport, or any other State or federal government-issued ID card); or
– A copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or other government document that shows your name and address. Current means that the document is dated within 3 months of the election.
5. When you go vote, you can wear clothing, buttons or stickers with political messages, but you must leave the early voting center or polling place immediately after voting.
6. In a general election, you can write-in the name of a candidate, but in a primary election, you cannot. Instructions on how to cast a write-in vote and a listing of the filed write-in candidates will be posted at the early voting centers and at your polling place on election day.
7. If your employer asks for proof that you voted, ask an election judge for a Certificate of Participation.

The actions of one

SetonHill October 22, 2014 October 20, 2014

Every day you spend a little time outside in the neighborhood. Some days it might only be a 3-second dash to your car, other days you may be out for hours, enjoying the nice weather, talking to your neighbors, or playing in the park. When you’re out in the neighborhood, take some of that time to look around and see if there is anything you can do to make it a little better. Whether that’s pulling a few weeds out in front of your house, picking up trash that someone else (illegally) left behind, or maybe it’s something even bigger than that.

This post today is about someone who did just that – a neighbor of ours who noticed a problem in the park, and then spent an entire morning to correct the problem. The Seton Hill Association would like thank Dave, George St resident, for his amazing work on the NW wall of Saint Mary’s Park.

For those of you who have spent some time on that side of the park, the outer wall was starting to crumble. The bricks weren’t holding up. Dave recognized this, and through coordination with the Seton Hill Association, was able to come up with a plan to amend this wall.

Thank you, Dave! It’s amazing the affect one person can have!
