Peter Max Art Show

Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, August 16th, 2:48 pm

Born in Europe, growing up in China, and journeying though India, Africa, and Israel to study painting; Peter Max is the definition of a “Global Artist.”

Starting with the creation of album covers and book jackets in the 1960’s, by the 1970’s Max was painting for the first 10 cent stamp as well as for U.S border murals.

Max has painted for the United Nations Earth Summit and Woodstock, the portraits of four United States presidents, and is the designated artist of the Grammy Awards and five Super Bowls.

Now you can view and even buy Peter Max’s work for yourself on October 23 at the West Field Montgomery in Bethesda, MD.

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) -- Montgomery County's troubles could be former Republican Gov. Bob Ehrlich's ticket back to the governor's mansion.

The state's largest, wealthiest and arguably most liberal jurisdiction is broke. County leaders wrestled to plug a roughly $1 billion budget deficit this year.

Ehrlich has made the county a focal point in his campaign. He announced he would challenge Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley in Rockville, the county seat. His running mate, former Maryland Secretary of State Mary Kane, is from Potomac, one of the county's plushest communities.

Rockville, Md. (WUSA) -- Volunteer firefighters hoping to derail a law to charge an ambulance fee in Montgomery County appear on track to produce more signatures than they will need to force the issue onto the ballot in November.

Volunteers have already collected 33,000 signatures, according to Eric N. Bernard, the Executive Director of the Montgomery County Fire-Rescue Association. Bernard predicts his group will have collected as many as 54,000 signatures before the drive is finished. It takes only 31,000 signatures to force the issue to a vote.

The Montgomery County Council has already passed a law that would charge county residents' health insurers for ambulance service. The fees range from $300 to $800, plus mileage, per trip.

The law is crafted so that the county can only collect from insurers. No county resident will be billed if they are uninsured, or if the insurers refuse to pay any or all of a claim by the county.
