Sightings of a thin, balding and beardless Santa Claus entering and leaving a Forest Hill workshop in the days before Christmas were accurate.Curiously, the jolly, but not so old, St. Nick wore plain clothes. He had a ready smile, a twinkle in his eye and was a dead ringer for Capt. Jesse Bane of the Harford County sheriff's office. In fact, it was he.And Santa's workshop, dank and dark, looked a lot like a basement donated by Ralph Klein, a local grocery chain owner.In preparation for today, the workshop emptied fast Wednesday and Thursday as elves, who in real life are retired deputies Bud Hans and Bill Glen, lugged bags of food and boxes of brightly wrapped gifts to vans and trucks backed up to a rear door.

Faced with declining revenues and a sluggish economy, county officials have cut nearly $13 million from this year's operating budget. Every agency and department has trimmed costs by at least 5 percent, while county officials have assured residents they will not experience any reduction in services. Projects, such as school and road construction that are already in the works, will continue to move forward, officials said. "The average citizen won't see any cut in services," said County Executive David R. Craig after a news conference last week to announce reductions in the fiscal year 2009 budget, which began July 1. The school board cut $5.3 million, the largest single reduction.

As county and state officials came to Edgewood last night to update citizens on base-relocation planning, a topic on the minds of many in audience was one that has vexed the community in recent months: crime.

Three of the four killings in the county this year have occurred in Edgewood, and gang activity has been an issue with which residents and police have grappled.
