Callahan Takes Issue with Pack Comments

by

This video is about five minutes long.

The county council’s vice president took issue Tuesday with comments the council president made Sunday night on a podcast discussion about the Confederate statue on the courthouse grounds.

“If there’s opportunities where the president of the council is taking care of remarks and stuff on a radio station and doing comments, I’d really appreciate that you give us, some of the council, the respect when there’s a very, very important day next Tuesday that means a lot to all of us when it comes to Frederick Douglass and you sorta bashed us a little bit.

“And I really didn’t appreciate that so I’d really, really would like you to, if you have something to say to us, just call me okay and voice your flustration,” Callahan said as his voice thickened with emotion. “I know you did it in flustration, but it was very, very disrespectful to us.”

Pack said he appreciated Callahan’s comments, which were directed at Pack’s remarks about the private Sept. 1 unveiling of plaques at the Douglass Park on the Tuckahoe. The private ceremony will be followed by the opening of the park to the public.

“Of course we all know, Frederick Douglass was an abolitionist, he fought against slavery, I think he fought against everything that the Talbot Boys statue stands for,” Pack said Tuesday. “I guess you’re referring to my comments about that particular event.”

Speaking Sunday night on the “A Miner Detail” podcast episode discussing the Confederate statue, Pack noted that the three council members who voted against removal likely would make an appearance for the park unveiling, which will feature Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford and Douglass descendants.

“You’re going to have those same council members who voted against taking down that statue, right, they’re going to come up there September the first and pose for every picture around the lieutenant governor regarding the Frederick Douglass unveiling of those (plaques) in honor of, in honor, and get this, the second annual Underground Railroad Month as we kick it off here in Talbot County on Sept. 1,” Pack said Sunday.

“You’re going to have those same council members come up, throw their arms around the lieutenant governor at the park on the Tuckahoe. How disingenuous is that? You vote two weeks ago not to take down this statue that’s a symbol of slavery and racism but yet you’re going to run up there for a photo op on Sept. 1,” he said on the podcast.

Responding Tuesday to Callahan’s comments, Pack said the council needed to have a discussion about what members say versus what they do.

Earlier in the meeting, he noted, Dr. Fredia Wadley, the county’s health officer, had given a report on COVID-19. The county council subsequently passed an emergency declaration that did not include several measures requested by Dr. Wadley.

“You can’t bring the health officer here in front of us to give a report but at the same time pass an emergency declaration that tears out everything that the health officer asked us to do,” he said. “I’m speaking about what we’re saying and what we’re doing.

As the meeting was held, demonstrators gathered outside the council chambers to chant, bang drums and blow air horns in peaceful protest against the council vote.

During public comments at the end of the meeting, Henry Herr, a longtime proponent for the statue’s removal, was the only caller.

“I’m obviously a little upset about the vote that happened last week and there’s obviously a lot of vocal opposition going on tonight and obviously will continue,” Herr said. “I can’t say that I’m surprised (by the vote), but the fact that there was mention stated that a vote shouldn’t be taken on something like this because of COVID while members on this council are voting not to follow the health officer’s guidelines for COVID seems a little hypocritical.”

Herr also said Councilwoman Laura Price had falsely claimed that there were no private funds for the statue’s removal when he had offered to pay for its removal on multiple occasions. Others also have publicly pledged to donate for the removal costs.

“If you want to vote on something, please at least state the facts that you don’t want the statue to come down, not that it can’t be paid for by private citizens that have already come forward multiple times ….,” he said.

Talbot County Council Votes to Keep Talbot Boys in Place; Protesters Chant for Justice

by

The Talbot County Council voted 3-2 tonight to keep the controversial Talbot Boys statue on the county’s courthouse lawn. With Council President Corey Pack and Councilman Pete Lesher voting to remove the Confederate memorial, the balance of the council, including Council Members Chuck Callahan, Frank Divilio, and Laura Price, voted in the majority to keep the Talbot Boys in place.

Shortly after the decision, some one hundred protesters spontaneously arrived in downtown Easton to voice their opposition to the decision.

The Spy will have a full report on the vote on Wednesday.

Council Can Vote Tuesday on ‘Talbot Boys’ Removal

by

The county council can vote Tuesday night on the latest effort to remove the “Talbot Boys” from the courthouse green.

Resolution 290, introduced by two of the five council members, calls for the removal of the statue of a young flag bearer carrying the battle flag of the rebel Army of Northern Virginia. As introduced, the resolution would allow the base, containing the names of Talbot County men who fought against the United States, to remain.

An amended resolution has been introduced by Councilman Pete Lesher and Council President Corey Pack, who introduced the initial resolution. The amended resolution calls for the removal of the entire monument and removes language that would have banned depictions of soldiers.

Lesher also plans to introduce two amendments during Tuesday night’s meeting, according to the agenda.

One would change language concerning the statue’s relocation to have the monument safely stored in the care of the county “until a place for its ultimate relocation can be identified and prepared.”

The second would establish a restricted county fund to receive any private contributions toward the cost of removing the monument.

During a July 28 public hearing on the resolution, the overwhelming majority of those calling into the meeting of the Talbot County Council urged members to completely remove the monument.

The council also was given a petition with 30-plus pages of signatures of people calling for the Talbot Boys to be removed from the courthouse green. A video entitled “I am Talbot County” also was submitted into the record.

“Statues are not how history is taught. It’s not about erasing history, but about what history to glorify,” one caller said. “What we do not support is a monument glorifying the Confederacy.”

Another caller cited a community survey in which 63% of respondents said racism is an issue in Talbot County.

“The Confederacy should not be glorified and that’s what the Talbot Boys statue does,” another caller said.

“This isn’t the first time the removal of the monument has been discussed. I hope it will be the last,” he said. “The question now is what side of history do you want to be a part of.”

“To commemorate is to celebrate” and the statue symbolizes racism and slavery, another caller said.

David Montgomery disagreed.

“The monument is to soldiers of Talbot County, not to slavery, not to the Confederacy,” he said.

Montgomery argued that it was highly unlikely that Talbot’s soldiers were fighting to preserve slavery.

Paul Callahan argued that Talbot’s rebels were fighting against Lincoln’s unconstitutional actions during the war against the secessionists.

“During the Civil War, what was done in Maryland was unconstitutional, unlawful, and brutal,” Callahan said, citing martial law, the suspension of habeas corpus, and the arrests of thousands of Marylanders suspected of Southern sympathies.

But Benjamin Rubenstein noted that Talbot’s rebel soldiers fought for the Confederate States of America.

“Even if they didn’t own slaves, they fought to protect slavery,” he said. “There’s no place for racism and white supremacy” on the public square.

Larrier Walker agreed that the fact that someone fought in a war could not be separated from “what they fought for.”

“Where in Germany are there statues or memorials to Hitler or the Nazis?” he asked. “There are none. To African-Americans and others, the Talbot Boys are just like Hitler and the Nazis.”

Henry Herr, who circulated the petition for the statue’s removal, noted the seceding states went to war against the U.S. in order to preserve slavery.

“The vast majority of historians have proven it time and time again,” he said.

“This symbol is a scourge of Talbot County,” Herr said. “Stand up for the minorities in your community who have been begging you to take it down.”

One caller said he was related to 10% of the names on the Talbot Boys monument.

He noted that the monument has 84 names, but many times that number from Talbot County fought for the United States.

The “time has come to remove” the monument and show that “Talbot County does not hold racism as a central tenet,” he said.

Others noted that the courthouse green was the site of the county’s slave auctions, where the KKK met in the 1880s, and where thousands gathered — just a few years after the Talbot Boys monument was erected — in an attempt to lynch a black man accused of sexually assaulting a white girl.

Keith Watts said the statue stands on hallowed ground — the site where thousands of Talbot’s slaves were brought to auction, where families were torn apart, “sold on the very spot that that statue stands.”

“Those people have no voice now. They need to be heard down through the ages,” Watts said. “The weight of history is on you tonight. The eyes of the nation and world are on you tonight. If Mississippi can do this, Talbot County can do this.”

Removal of ‘Talbot Boys’ Statue Topic of Tuesday Night Public Hearing

by

UPDATE: At the advice of the county health officer, the Talbot County Council has closed its meetings to the public. Members of the public will not be allowed to attend in person. Information on how to view the meeting virtually or listen by phone is at the end of this story.

A proposal to remove the statue of a rebel flagbearer from a monument on the courthouse green will be up for public comment Tuesday night.

The public hearing on Resolution 290 — set for 6:30 p.m. July 28 in the Talbot County Council chambers — largely will be virtual. The council chamber is limited to 10 audience members to ensure social distancing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Concerns about the coronavirus — with cases dramatically increasing in Talbot County in the past three weeks — scuttled the original plan to hold the public hearing in the Talbot County Auditorium at Easton High School.

Resolution 290 — introduced by Council President Corey Pack and Councilman Pete Lesher — calls for the removal of the statue of a young man carrying a rebel battle flag atop the monument base listing the names of Talbot County men who went to war against the United States.

The resolution also would prohibit “new statues depicting persons, signs, or symbols associated with military action … on County-owned property” and calls for new monuments  to focus on “the names of those American servicemen and women who served in the conflict.”

It also makes it clear that the prohibition “does not apply to the statue of Frederick Douglass, who is remembered for his contributions to civil society. ”

Resolution 290

The resolution was proposed by Pack; Lesher joined him in its introduction but said he would seek to amend it to remove the entire Talbot Boys monument.

Pack, who previously has voted against the removal of the monument, changed his mind after the May 25 death of George Floyd and ensuing protests against racism in the U.S. Floyd, a Black man accused of passing a counterfeit $20, died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

In addition to Pack, two other council members, Laura Price and Chuck Callahan, previously have voted against removing the Confederate monument. Lesher and Councilman Frank Divilio are both in their first terms on the county council and have not voted on the issue.

Divilio, during the council’s June 23 meeting, suggested a unity statue that would list the names of Union and rebel soldiers from Talbot County, with a statue depicting soldiers from each side.

His proposal is modeled after the Civil War monument in Chestertown, which lists the names of soldiers from both sides, and the state of Maryland monument at Gettysburg, which shows a wounded Union soldier and a wounded rebel soldier helping each other on the battlefield.

Tuesday’s council meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the Bradley Meeting Room in the south wing of the Talbot County Courthouse. The 10 available seats will be available on a first-come basis and face masks must be worn at all times inside the council chambers unless addressing the council.

Op-Ed: Pack, Lesher Show Courage on ‘Talbot Boys’ by Peter Franchot

by

The past several months have brought momentous change in our country and our state, as we all have grappled with a global pandemic that sadly has claimed too many lives, made so many people sick and brought our economy to a halt.

For some weeks now, we also have been confronted with the brutal murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police and that of Rayshard Brooks by an Atlanta police officer at a Wendy’s drive-thru.

Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot

Those horrifying incidents, which stirred painful memories of the deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile and too many others, serve as a devastating reminder that institutional racism is still a corrosive reality in our country, and that not all Americans enjoy the same equal rights and protections under the law.

A few weeks ago, Easton was the site of a peaceful protest in front of the Talbot County Courthouse. The protesters gathered to express their anger and frustration with the racial discrimination that continues to divide this amazing community, and did so in a true spirit of peace.

Since that memorable event, the Talbot Boys Monument — both the mere fact of its existence and its prominent location on the Talbot County Courthouse lawn — has once again become a focus of public outcry.

As many of you already know, I have called for the removal of this awful statue, which was dedicated at the height of our nation’s “Jim Crow” era and romanticizes white supremacy and an act of treason against the United States.

Talbot County is one of my favorite places to visit. Over the years, I have attended many meetings, events and special occasions in your thriving towns from Oxford, Easton, and St. Michaels, to your prosperous farms and waterways from Tilghman, Trappe, and Cordova.

Talbot has so many centers of commerce and economic activity, cultural and educational offerings and medical facilities. It is a magical place of beauty, recreation and open spaces. I also have met so many wonderful people — of all ages, races and creeds — which for me and others makes the Talbot Boys Monument stand in stark contrast to the community I have come to know and enjoy.

There is no place in Talbot County, in Maryland, or our larger society for statues embracing heroes of slavery, violent white supremacy and treason.

People of all colors throughout the country are speaking out.

They are tired of being subject to the remnants of a time when human beings were allowed to be bought, sold and traded as the property of others, and were subject to the worst possible forms of physical abuse, sexual assault and emotional ruin, simply because of the color of their skin.

They are tired of living with harassment, abuse, economic discrimination, violence and murder because of the color of their skin.

They are tired of the endlessness of it all.

Placed on the courthouse lawn in 1916, the Talbot Boys Monument is not an historical edifice and its supposed educational value is that it has served as a propaganda tool to romanticize white supremacy, to legitimize acts of treason and to civilize the brutality of slavery.

If you want to experience a real hero, take a few steps to the other side of the courthouse lawn and admire native son, orator, writer and abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who fled his years of enslavement on a Talbot plantation to freedom and to become a true statesman.

I am in full support of the bipartisan effort by Talbot County Council President Corey Pack and Talbot County Councilmember Pete Lesher in drafting a resolution to bring down the Talbot Boys statue. Both men have shown strength and courage in standing up for what is right for all citizens of Talbot County.

Their beliefs mirror the community’s resolve. I would urge the remaining council members to consider their careful and thoughtful arguments and to listen to the expressions for justice and equality by the protesters.

This is a time of moral clarity for our country. It is a time to do away with symbols that treat men and women differently simply because of the color of their skin. It is time to blot out images that conjure hurt and fear.

I believe Talbot County is up for the challenge of doing what is right.

I have faith that the voices of this community will be heard.

Special Guest Lifts the Spirits of Emergency Operations Team

by

“There is light after darkness,” Rev. Sue Browning of Easton’s Unitarian Universalist Fellowship told the Emergency Operations Center team on Friday. “Light will come and may we have the courage to see in new ways and to forge new paths in these uncharted times.”

As of Saturday, April 11, the EOC has been activated for 30 days in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The team of more than 60 members is organized by the Talbot County Department of Emergency Services and comes together in times of community crisis.

County and town governments, area social services agencies, and public schools all have representation within the EOC.

In the case of a health crisis, the group follows the lead of Talbot County Health Officer Fredia Wadley, M.D.

Daily operational calls keep team members informed and serve as a forum for discussing difficult issues that often arise when responding to crisis situations.

Emergency Services Director Clay Stamp invited Rev. Browning to the call on Good Friday as a special guest to offer words of encouragement to the team.

“I want to lift up, not just to what is being done,” Browning said, “but the grace you are bringing to each task, to each checklist, to your team, to each honest conversation. I believe it is grace that weaves together these many tasks.

“It’s grace that gives the many efforts purpose. It’s grace that keeps this collective effort moving forward, even as you are tired and drained. It is grace that renews.”

The minister ended her comments with a prayer:

Spirit of light, spirit of love, gracious God beyond our knowing, we come together from our many different perspectives in love.

We take time to remember the lives lost across the world, across the nation, and in our own area.

We come in witness to stretched systems and images of suffering.

We ask for blessings for the first responders, for medical teams, and for service workers that are in so many roles.

And we are reminded that we come together in this week, this Holy Week of holidays, in hope.

These are times that remind us that, yes, there is light after darkness.

Light will come and may we have the courage to see in new ways and to forge new paths in these uncharted times.

We ask your blessing for all who are gathered on this call, all who are addressing the needs of this beloved community in hope and in love.

In the many ways we all pray, we say together, amen.

With Easter approaching, please see the below interpretive guidance for religious facilities released April 1 by the governor’s office: Guidance for Religious Facilities and Clergy.

Bulletin: Talbot Halts New Stays at Short-Term Rentals, B&Bs

by

Talbot County’s short-term rentals and bed and breakfasts may not accept any new guests after March 31 and may not take new reservations.

The Talbot County Council imposed the new restrictions Tuesday afternoon as it amended the county’s declaration of emergency for COVID-19.

The amended order states:

a. No new reservations shall be made until the expiration of this First Amended Declaration or further amendment by Council.

b. No occupancies of short term rental or bed and breakfast properties may begin after March 31, 2020, until the expiration of this First Amended Declaration or further amendment by Council.

Guests staying in Talbot County as of Tuesday may remain through the end of their current booking and may extend their stay “provided that (i) the owner provides the Talbot County Department of Planning and Zoning the names of all such guests and the dates by which all current guests will be vacating the premises, and (ii) that the owner and all guests comply with Governor Hogan’s executive orders, namely prohibition on large gatherings and the stay-at-home order, as well as complying with all other laws, rules, and regulations governing short-term rentals and bed and breakfasts.”

The order does allow new reservations to be made “for guests who are deemed by federal, State, or local governmental authorities as essential personnel needed to help respond to the spread of COVID-19 in Talbot County, including, without limitation, doctors, nurses, emergency first responders, law enforcement, and fire fighters, provided that the owner provides the Talbot County Department of Planning and Zoning the names of all such guests, their status as essential personnel, and the dates by which they will be vacating the premises.”

This story will be updated with the county council’s discussion about the amended order.

Talbot Council Urges Lodging Businesses to Stop Taking Guests

by

Talbot County officials are urging short-term rentals, B&Bs, and hotels in the county to suspend all future rental operations during the state of emergency as concerns mount about travelers spreading COVID-19.

Of particular concern are people coming from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, where the number of cases have skyrocketed in recent days.

On Wednesday, Gov. Larry Hogan ordered anyone in the state who has recently traveled to that tri-state area to self quarantine for 14 days.

“Any Marylander or anyone visiting Maryland who has recently spent time in New York or visited the tri-state area must quarantine in place and limit contact with others for at least 14 days,” Hogan said. The Trump administration had issued a similar recommendation on Tuesday.

The Talbot County Council unanimously agreed Thursday afternoon to send a letter to all short-term rental license holders and all hotels and bed and breakfasts urging them to immediately suspend all future rental operations. The council used video and teleconference for the meeting, which was held in a reconfigured council chambers to maintain social distancing among council members and staff; Council President Corey Pack participated via telephone.

“This was an attempt to number one to be consistent with the governor’s directive regarding those persons coming into Maryland from the tri-state area … to quarantine in place for 14 days,” Pack said.

Councilwoman Laura Price questioned whether the county could order short-term rentals and B&Bs to close under Talbot’s emergency declaration.

“That’s as far as we can go?” she asked. “I don’t think you can do it with the hotels, but the bed and breakfast and the short-term rentals, there’s nothing we can do since they are directly licensed by us?”

Assistant County Attorney Mary O’Donnell said suspending county licenses for those businesses would require emergency legislation.

“We could introduce and put into place emergency legislation to suspend licenses but I don’t believe we can in (an emergency) declaration,” O’Donnell said. “I believe that the governor has that ability. The governor’s powers are very broad and we could discuss that with the governor the ability to have that kind of thing suspended.”

She also noted that “lodging is specifically included as an essential service” in the governor’s executive order closing non-essential businesses during the state of emergency.

“It’s tough because urging people to do it; we saw what happened with the governor starting with 250 people going down to 50 going down to 10,” Price said. “(H)e stopped short of saying shelter-in-place but he was getting very frustrated because people weren’t following the orders. When you say we urge you to do it people do it anyway…. Not all people listen unfortunately.”

“It’s an instruction, but it’s short of the full force of law,” Councilman Pete Lesher said of the proposed letter.

On Thursday, Garrett County’s health officer ordered all transient vacation rental properties in that county to close effective 5 p.m. Friday, including the cancellation of  existing bookings. The order does not apply to hotel and motel occupancy.

Garrett County defines a Transient Vacation Rental Unit as “a building offering complete living facilities under one roof provided that a maximum of 8 bedrooms and a maximum occupancy of two persons per bedroom plus four additional persons will be permitted on the property and that the living facilities are rented on the basis of a 14-day period or less to guests.”

The letter from the Talbot County Council and signed by Pack states:

With the ongoing concerns surrounding the spread of the Coronavirus/COVID-19, the Talbot County Council is asking everyone who is present in Talbot County to please take the directives from President Trump, Maryland Governor Hogan and the Talbot County Council seriously. Please close non-essential businesses and do not gather in groups larger than ten (10) persons.

We urge any visitors and any individuals returning to their homes here in the County to take the precaution of self-quarantining for at least fourteen (14) days to prevent the spread of the virus into this community. As you may know, President Trump and Governor Hogan are specifically requiring that all individuals coming to Maryland from, or that have recently visited the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut, to quarantine in place and limit contact with others for at least fourteen (14) days.

In addition, Talbot County is urging all short-term rental license holders and all hotels and bed and breakfasts to immediately suspend all future rental operations. We are asking that all such short-term rental owners and all hotels and bed and breakfasts to place a copy of this letter requesting that visitors self-quarantine for fourteen (14) days on the doors of their properties until the Governor lifts the state of emergency here in Maryland.

For those in the area, local restaurants are limited to carry-out, drive-thru and delivery services. Some local grocery stores and pharmacies are offering delivery/pick up services.

Please continue to take extra precautions to limit contact with others.

• Social distancing – Maintain a minimum of six (6) feet between persons.

• Sanitizing – Wash hands carefully and frequently. Clean areas and surfaces with sanitizer.
