Robert Ballinger and David Gertler both ran unsuccessfully for the Howard County school board in 2010. They are candidates again and say their unsuccessful attempts have left them optimistic about their chances this year. "I feel stronger about this campaign because I was so close the last time," said Ballinger. Ballinger advanced to the November 2010 general election, where he finished sixth in the race for four seats with 10.6 percent of the vote. He was 1,363 votes behind fourth-place finisher Cindy Vaillancourt.

Howard County Board of Education candidate Robert Ballinger has been a fixture at this year's county fair. He has been gathering ideas from county residents on what they believe works in the school system and what could be changed. He has discovered that people don't mind taking a break from the shows, auctions and food lines to offer their opinions. "They talk about individual issues with the schools. They think that teachers in the classroom, knowing the students and knowing the involvement of the families, should have more leeway," said Ballinger, who lives in the Dorsey Hall community in Ellicott City.

An Annapolis man with a long criminal record was given the maximum prison sentence for manslaughter yesterday in the death of another man resulting from a simmering dispute that began over a woman. Anne Arundel County Circuit Judge Michael E. Loney ordered Al Ballinger Sr., 39, to spend 10 years in prison. Noting that Ballinger has 17 convictions -- among them violent offenses, drug possession and escape from jail -- Loney said Ballinger has a history of lawlessness. Public Defender Keith Gross, who sought a sentence of no more than three years, said he would appeal Ballinger's conviction.

The nine candidates running for the Howard County Board of Education may be nonpartisan, but they're clearly split into two camps: those who want to overhaul the system and those who want to work within it. Still, the radical thinkers and their pragmatic counterparts seem to have more similarities than differences. Most have children in Howard schools, most are in their 40s and nearly all profess the same goals: raising the performances of poor and minority students; improving the use of funds; improving efforts to attract and retain teachers; and providing adequate schools.
