It is that time of the year when many motorists wonder if they need to let their vehicle “warm up” or idle before driving. In fact, today’s modern cars are ready to drive in cold temperatures without excessive idling. Unless you are trying to defrost the windshield or warm the interior of yo…
For many years the county has plowed snow outward in Esperanza Circle, covering our mailboxes, preventing mail delivery, making driveways impassable and creating safety issues in case of emergencies where residents could not get out. This is rare and applies only to deeper snows and to a uni…
I disagree with the notion that ignorance is bliss. The lack of knowledge can cause us to make poor decisions, dangerous decisions and even decisions with eternal consequence. Mike Thompson’s Dec. 21 letter titled “We cannot make God into what we want. God is who he is already” is an example…
For one day I am asking for my fellow U.S. citizens to put politics aside and think about what is happening today. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of other issues to worry about that some may deem more important, but my focus is on the historic government shutdown. There were some 800,00…
President Trump wants to build a great wall.
The Alzheimer’s Association estimates there are more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease and more than 16 million Alzheimer’s caregivers. As an Alzheimer’s ambassador, it is my honor to represent them.
The Salvation Army would like to express its deep appreciation to all the generous donors who kindly gave to our red kettle bell ringers during the Christmas season.
To my constituents:
The personification of the global warming/climate change debate ranges from an ostrich with its head stuck in the sand to a chicken crying that the sky is falling.

I would like to say thank you to the readers of The Enterprise for selecting me in the category of “Best Volunteer” in the Reader Approved contest.
In spite of research indicating that megalodon became extinct about two million years ago, this monstrous apex predator is still alive — in an even deeper section of the Marianas trench of the Pacific, concealed by a thick cloudy layer of hydrogen sulfide.
The Central Maryland Heritage League is a nonprofit organization that advocates for the conservation and stewardship of South Mountain battlefield in Washington County.
One potentially useful purpose of letters to the editor is to stimulate healthy, respectful and hopefully informed debate. In a recent letter to the editor, Mark Holmes questioned what I said in my Dec. 21 letter about sea level rise projections for Maryland.
If you know nothing of the 50-year history of the anti-gun movement, you might find Diane McGowan’s Dec. 14 letter, “Common-sense measures need not infringe on responsible gun owners’ constitutional rights,” a seemingly reasonable discourse on the subject. However, who will be the arbiter of…
I fail to see where being fiscally hawkish and asking about responsible management of county tax funds magically transmogrifies to being “anti-gun.” It seems reasonable to ask politicians to exercise fiduciary responsibility and financial restraint when it comes to spending commonly sourced …
Your Dec. 26 editorial on postal rates was mostly correct, but it was incomplete. It is a complex subject.
Here’s something to ponder during the 12 days of Christmas.
It has come to my attention that a local national historic site is under threat. Oxon Cove Park and Oxon Hill Farm are headed for the bulldozer under the guidance of Gov. Larry Hogan (R). This national park on the shores of the Potomac River where children from the cities and suburbs can go …
I want to direct what I have to say about the problem of sexual harassment in our society primarily to your male readers.
