Baltimore Sun

David Terry aiming to share his passion

David Terry isn't sure when the history bug bit him. But one doctorate in history, one three-year stint at the

Maryland State Archives and a handful of scholarly papers and other research projects on the state's

African-American history later, he remains thrilled that it did.

Now, in his new position as Director of Collections and Exhibitions at Baltimore's soon-to-be-opening

Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture, he's hoping to spread that

infatuation with our forebears and their legacy around a bit. History may not be the hottest of subjects

today, but maybe he can help change that.

Morning Sun Staff Writer

Less than one week after dedication of the

Pittsburg State University Veterans Memorial

Amphitheater, the site has become scattered

with flowers, newspaper clippings, photos,

cards and letters and even a can of peaches.

Jim AuBuchon, PSU vice president for

university advancement, and a driving force

behind the memorial's creation, said he has

taken on the responsibility of picking up

some of the memorabilia left by supporters.

The Union Leader

Commentary:

The left attacks a serious scholar —

because he’s a serious scholar

By JACOB HEILBRUNN

Guest Commentary

IT’S NO SECRET that the Bush

administration has a fetish for secrecy.

Whether it’s keeping the records of Vice

President Dick Cheney’s energy task force

concealed or denying the 9/11 commission

key documents, the administration regularly

displays disdain for open government. But

does that contempt extend even to the office

of the national archivist?

E.J. and Ruthann Holm spent a year buying up all the old newspapers they could find for an antique

display they created at the Caledonia Street Antique Mall.

Attorney General Hardy Myers has

asked state police to probe

allegations by an ex-employee of Saif

Corp. that he destroyed public

records on orders from superiors,

Myers' office said Friday.

The charges are made in a sworn

affidavit by Mark Cohen, a former

public relations manager for the

state-owned workers' compensation

insurer, that was filed Thursday.

Evidence spurs call for probe of SAIF

By David Steves

The Register-Guard

SALEM - A whistle-blower's affidavit Thursday

charging top officials with destroying documents at a

state-owned insurance company prompted the

governor to call for an investigation and led a judge

to schedule a court hearing on the matter.

And the newly surfaced evidence could lead the state

ethics panel to widen its investigation into whether

SAIF failed to report its spending on lobbying.

It’s 2004, Do You

Know Where Your

Data Is?

By CHAN CHEE KEONG

In an era of diminishing trust and public skepticism, regulations are

being en-forced with greater vigor to enable regulatory authorities to

accurately reconstruct past processes and events from electronic

records. These sweeping initiatives are being targeted throughout the

economy, with some regulations focusing on securities broker-dealers,

pharmaceutical companies, healthcare organizations, major

manufacturers, and public corporations with more than $75 million in

market capitalization.

Hoboken moving to expand city's Web site

Saturday, June 05, 2004

By Sarah N. Lynch

Journal staff writer

HOBOKEN - The City Council has introduced a new ordinance that would allow residents to more readily

access public documents on the city's Web site.

The ordinance was unanimously introduced by the council Wednesday night and will be voted on for final

adoption on June 16.

"People want open government," said Council President Ruben Ramos Jr. "They want to know what's going

on with the city government. This is an easy way to access information, making this more available to the

public."

The ordinance was initiated by People for Open Government, a Hoboken-based citizens group that seeks

to improve public access to government.
