Manchester

The town of Manchester irrigates fields off Warehime Road with 300,000 gallons of chlorine-treated wastewater daily nine months out of the year. But spray irrigation isn't permitted during the three coldest months of winter, when the treated effluent could easily run off the frozen ground, town officials said. Manchester officials have asked the Maryland Department of the Environment to help the town stop discharging treated wastewater into streams, allowing for more groundwater recharge to bolster dwindling reserves, town administrator Steven L. Miller said.

MANCHESTER has a traffic congestion problem. Main Street can back up for a mile during rush hour. Left-turning vehicles block the roadway, as do parked cars along the sides. Downtown intersections rate as "failing." It's way past time to address this daily flow of 18,000 vehicles through the town of 3,200 residents.If the 30-year-old plan for a bypass -- cost: $70 million -- is dead, then Manchester, county and state officials should move swiftly to choose other remedies.A half-dozen options proposed by the Maryland Department of Transportation are a good place to begin.

THERE'S little surprise in Gov. Parris N. Glendening's decision to veto long-planned bypass projects for Westminster and Manchester.The governor wants to take a stand against state projects that violate Smart Growth rules enacted in 1997. A bypass, by definition, lies outside the established municipal core that is the target of Smart Growth.The bypass decision is reversible. It may be no more than a delay, awaiting a new governor or action by the legislature or the Board of Public Works. Perhaps a legal challenge.

FEELINGS have been bruised, civic pride wounded, but that's no reason to stop working to ease traffic jams on Route 30 as it cuts through Manchester and Hampstead.The governor supports a $35 million bypass of the state highway for Hampstead, but a $70 million bypass for Manchester is unacceptable because it would promote development sprawl. A couple of miffed Manchester council members propose a dog-in-the-manger approach: try to kill Hampstead's bypass out of spite. The Carroll County commissioners, meanwhile, grumble about Annapolis politics.

Donning his favorite Marine uniform - the formal "dress blues" - Sgt. Jerrett Peake surveyed the dozens of small faces staring up at him yesterday morning at Manchester Elementary School in Carroll County. After a brief introduction and greeting, several small hands shot in the air with questions for the 22-year-old soldier who left Iraq last month. "Do you ever get homesick?" (Sometimes. But letters help with that.) "Do you use night-vision goggles?" (Yes, and he also gets to fix them.

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's victory in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary was born of two forces - a sympathetic turn by voters, particularly women, who tired of seeing her attacked; and a political organization focused on her experience and economic concerns. Campaign activists suggest that the election shifted, at first imperceptibly, in Saturday night's debate when Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards ganged up on her, and when Clinton was faced with another blunt question about her likability.

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND -- Sometimes you forget how intoxicating height can be. Here I was, 23 stories up in the coolest new hotel in northwestern England, looking across several counties and several centuries. The bar at the glass-skinned Beetham Tower -- which houses the city's new Hilton -- offers a vista as stirring in its way as the view from the Campanile in Florence, with its lavish vision of Renaissance Italy. I was surrounded by Manchester's most fashionable residents. Cocktails were named for Stone Roses rock songs and Manchester United soccer players.
