Cindy Rose
Cindy A. Rose began writing for the Tentacle in 2011 trying to raise awareness over things happening within Frederick County Public Schools. She began keeping a close watch on FCPS when she learned there were not enough air conditioned buses for special needs children during the hot Maryland summers. The Tentacle offered her a place to share her concerns with her community when local newspapers didn’t always. Cindy had the opportunity to buy the Tentacle from creator/owner John W. Ashbury in 2019, so she did. She believed then, as she believes now, our communities, friends and neighbors have important things to say that needs to be shared with those living around them. Large corporate news companies don’t always share in those passions and concerns. The Tentacle is a local news, commentary and community website run by citizens, for citizens. Its success depends on your participation.

People woke up Friday morning to the news that President Donald J. Trump and his wife Melania had tested positive for COVID-19. Although it wasn’t part of the original plan, the Trump 2020 rally organized by Michelle Deanovich had a few vehicles displaying “Get Well” wishes for the President.

Ronald Reagan’s A Time For Choosing
Today would be the perfect day to spend some time listening to the speech that is said to have put Ronald Reagan on the road to the Presidency. It's perfect for today because we find ourselves once again in a time for choosing.

Celebrate Entrepreneurs, Don’t Guillotine Them
Imagine a benefactor, almost a Santa Claus, who provides millions of dollars worth of goods each day to millions of customers. The goods are more bountiful, cheaper, and easier to purchase from his store than any single retail establishment of the past, even the vaunted shopping malls and department stores, like Macy’s, which once called itself the “largest store in the world.”
Nothing Says Unity Like Division
The new Othello Park opened in Petersville Friday. I was excited to drive in and see what had been happening behind the dirt mounds that grew and moved over the years as if giant moles had taken up residence. Like a child waiting for Christmas, it felt like forever for this day to arrive.
Frederick County Shaming Wall Goes Down In Flames
The Tentacle doesn’t usually publish new columns on Sunday, but we felt an exception was in order. We don’t hear enough about how sharing information can make positive changes in our neighborhoods so when it happens, we want to report on it.
Frederick County Karens Bringing The Shame
The Frederick County “Karen’s” have created a Facebook Page: Frederick County WALL of SHAME Anti Maskers Exposed. You have to laugh because those of us who don’t wear masks aren’t really ashamed or hiding it. You should also be nervous because these kinds of groups incite violence toward the innocent whose only crime is disagreeing with the use of face masks.
