STATE POLICE HELICOPTER RESCUES THREE FROM LAKE LINGANORE
Maryland State Police Helicopter, Trooper 3, performed a hoist rescue over Lake Linganore on the evening of June 27, 2015. A group of nine individuals were aboard a pontoon boat on the lake when the boat approached a spillway on the west side of the lake. Heavy rains had created a significant current due to the water rushing over the spillway.
The boat became trapped in the current and subsequently went over the dam onto the rocky spillway below. Four individuals on the dam ledge were able to be rescued by members of Frederick County Fire and Rescue via boat and one individual was rescued from the water by the Frederick County Swift Water Rescue Team. Three juveniles remained trapped on the rocks at the bottom of the spillway and were inaccessible by land or boat. One additional victim was unfortunately deceased.
Helicopter “Trooper 3”, based out of Frederick Municipal Airport, arrived on the scene at 7:13 p.m. ready for hoist operations. The victims were located at the bottom of the spillway, trapped on rocks and a large log. Once on scene, the decision was made to conduct a hoist rescue due to the inaccessibility and concerns of hypothermia. A rescue basket was lowered down to the water beside victims. A 15 year-old female, climbed into the basket and was hoisted to safety inside the aircraft. Two subsequent hoist iterations successfully lifted two 17 year-old females to safety. Once secured in the aircraft, the victims were flown a short distance to Trooper 3’s hangar located at the Frederick Municipal Airport where a waiting advanced life support ambulance evaluated the victims and transported them to Frederick Memorial Hospital.
Trooper 3, was able to successfully rescue all of the victims in just over 11 minutes from time of arrival. The rescue was an overwhelming success and demonstrated versatility of the crews and the AW-139 helicopter.
Trooper 3 was assisted at the scene by units from Frederick County Fire and Rescue and the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police are investigating the incident.

Wicomico Superintendent of Schools Dr. John Fredericksen Announces He Will Depart When His Current Contract Ends
“During the past seven years our teams have worked hard and have had wonderful successes with our students and schools,” Dr. Fredericksen said as he prepared to make the announcement. “I have been glad to serve Wicomico students, families and staff as part of a dedicated and effective team. I look forward to continuing this work for the next school year, but will not seek to extend my time as superintendent beyond next June. At that point in my life, and after a very long and satisfying career in public education, I will be ready to relocate along with my wife Renee closer to our children and grandchildren. I wanted to give the Board plenty of notice so it could begin a superintendent search.”
Dr. Fredericksen began serving July 1, 2008, and received a second four-year contract in 2012. His tenure is among the longest in the state of Maryland. He has been highly visible as superintendent, eating lunch in school cafeterias two to three times a week to chat with students, attending athletic events and performances to show support, and bringing together groups of parents, administrators, teachers, and community members to help guide the school system’s planning and operations.
More than a year ago, after participating in a retirement planning seminar, he began to consider retiring as superintendent of Wicomico County Public Schools, and discussed his plans with the Board President and other Board members.

JUST IN: S.C. governor: Remove Confederate flag from state Capitol
“For many people in our state, the flag stands for traditions that are noble,” said Haley. “At the same time for many others in South Carolina, the flag is a deeply offensive symbol of a brutally oppressive past.
“We do not need to declare a winner and a loser here,” recognizing that the debate should continue over whether or not South Carolinians fly the flag in private, “but the statehouse is different,” she said.

Hogan Wants To Recall MD Confederate Flag Plates
The display of the Confederate flag has become a hot topic since an avowed racist was accused of gunning down nine people in a Charleston, South Carolina church last week.
According to the "Baltimore Sun" Jay Barringer, the state commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, said he was disappointed that governor Hogan had decided to take what he calls the "low road" and not defend the First Amendment.

Interesting Facts
Which of the above flags is the Confederate Flag?
1. Only 1.4% of Whites in U.S. had slaves in the US.
2. Only 4.8% of Whites in Southern States had Slaves.
3. Of the free Afro-Americans, it is estimated 28% held slaves… though many of these were family members bought from their slave owner. However, a few had more than 50 slaves.
4. General Robert E. Lee was not in favor of Slavery as evidenced by correspondence with his wife.
5. Of the up to 900,000 soldiers that fought for the Confederate, as many as 200,000 were Afro-American.
6. As many as 40% of the ‘cowboys’ in the west were Afro-Americans.
7. Of the 6,000,000 million African Slaves brought to the new world, only 478,000 were brought to the United States.
8. The capture of Africans that were forced into slavery were predominately captured by other Africans and sold to slave traders.
9. The Dutch, Brits and other Europeans were the primary slave traders, not the colonists brining them through the major Slave port at Bristol, England.
10. It is estimated that over ½ of all white settlers of the early colonies came as
indentured servants.
The original formation of the KKK was to terrorize Catholics… So with test facts, it is easy to see that the flag represents more that the issue of slavery in the south, the Civil war was a war of economics. Let the states fly the flag it represents a time in our history, and the bravery of all those who fought for the South, including the 200,000 Afro-Americans.

A Letter To The Editor: Six months...no changes
Council members,
I was just reading your upcoming agenda. Disappointing that the noise ordinance STILL is not being finished up, how long does it really take???? Six months hasn't been enough obviously, but that UNUSED bike lane is surely being handled swiftly.
Mrs Mitchell....what happened to getting this noise ordinance on the "fast track" as you put it to me back in January?? Is this your idea of "fast tracking" something? Six months, and still nothing.....they come before dawn often, and stay til dark (9pm) almost EVERY DAY. The dust, trash, and noise is unacceptable to most everyone, except you....the ones who don't have to deal with it at all.
Its obvious its all about getting The Gathering's project done before August, no matter who it affects. Don't blame the Chief, don't blame the weather, don't blame THE CITIZENS FOR STANDING UP TO YOU!!! Do your jobs, get it passed!!!
Now, I know that means absolutely nothing to any of you, but I/we have no other recourse. The whole bunch of you is making certain that OUR RIGHTS to peacefully enjoy our homes is tossed aside in the name of profit. You keep saying "its the job of the administration to enforce this" Well I'm here to tell you that they don't do anything either. They cant...not until the penalty portion of the noise ordinance is enacted, but you wont do that for fear of making "hasty decisions" as Mr Day puts it.
Gillis Gilkerson violates the ordinance six days per week, and has for 7 months now. You guys, and the rest of the city officials are covering for them and allowing this to happen. There is no other explanation as to why you would allow this to drag out for so long. That tells everyone that you are ok with people breaking the law, but thats alright, as long as the city gets that tax revenue. Screw all the residents and their rights.
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves , you've made sure that my entire neighborhoods lives have been adversely affected by your slow playing this finalization of a SIMPLE ORDINANCE. I know NONE of you will respond to me anymore, and that's typical of a bunch of liberals, but that's not going to stop me from telling you like it is.
Its been more than 180 days, now its time to Get off your high horses and do your damn job to protect the very people that put your butts on the council to begin with.

Politico: Donald Trump Terrifies Republican Establishment
He has virtually zero chance of winning the presidential nomination. But insiders worry that the loud-mouthed mogul is more than just a minor comedic nuisance on cable news; they fret that he’s a loose cannon whose rants about Mexicans and scorched-earth attacks on his rivals will damage the eventual nominee and hurt a party struggling to connect with women and minorities and desperate to win.
“Donald Trump is like watching a road-side accident,” said former George W. Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer. “Everybody pulls over to see the mess. And Trump thinks that’s entertainment. But running for president is serious. And the risk for the party is he tarnishes everybody.”

Supreme Court Rules Same-Sex Couples Have Right To Marry
The Supreme Court declared Friday that same-sex couples have a right to marry anywhere in the United States.
The outcome is the culmination of two decades of Supreme Court litigation over marriage, and gay rights generally.
In the majority opinion, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote that same-sex marriage must be allowed under the United States Constitution.
Chief Justice John Roberts, along with Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas dissented, and all wrote separate dissents.
Alito wrote, “Today’s decision usurps the constitutional right of the people to decide whether to keep or alter the traditional understanding of marriage.”
Roberts said gay marriage supporters should celebrate, but don’t celebrate the Constitution.
“If you are among the many Americans—of whatever sexual orientation—who favor expanding same-sex marriage, by all means celebrate today’s decision. Celebrate the achievement of a desired goal. Celebrate the opportunity for a new expression of commitment to a partner. Celebrate the availability of new benefits. But do not celebrate the Constitution. It had nothing to do with it,” Roberts wrote.
Scalia wrote his dissent “to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy.”
“Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a
majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court. The opinion in these cases is the furthest extension in fact—and the furthest extension one can even imagine—of the Court’s claimed power to create “liberties” that the Constitution and its Amendments neglect to mention. This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves,” Scalia wrote.
Thomas wrote, “Aside from undermining the political processes that protect our liberty, the majority’s decision threatens the religious liberty our Nation has long sought to protect.”
President Barack Obama called the ruling a “big step in our march toward equality.”

TAKE DOWN THE FASCIST, ANTI-CHRISTIAN GAY-PRIDE FLAG
The list of misdeeds and victims resulting from an increasingly emboldened Big Gay Hate Machine continues to grow.
Under this banner of hate, people are outed against their will, terrorized out of businessmerely for being Christian, bullied and harassed for thoughtcrimes; moreover, “hate crimes” are being manufactured to keep us divided, Christians are refused service, death threats are hurled, and Christianity is regularly smeared as hate speech.
If individuals wish to fly this symbol of hate, oppression and bigotry on their own property, that is their choice in a free country. It is unconscionable, however, that this symbol of intolerance is allowed to fly above government-owned buildings.

‘Gone with the Wind’ should go the way of the Confederate flag

True, “Gone with the Wind’’ isn’t as blatantly and virulently racist as D.W. Griffith’s “Birth of a Nation,’’ which was considered one of the greatest American movies as late as the early 1960s, but is now rarely screened, even in museums.

A video posted online Tuesday shows a young girl being savagely assaulted while she was holding a young child. The sickening video was going viral on Wednesday and a website was offering a $1,000 reward for information on the attack to turn over to police.
The disturbing video shows two young females demanding the girl holding the baby “get up,” presumably to fight. When the girl, still holding a young child, didn’t get up, the attacker is seen dragging her out of her seat by her hair, sending her and the child tumbling to the ground.
The young child can be heard in the video crying hysterically.

WHAT?! Pope Francis Says You Can’t Make or Invest in Guns and be a Christian
I’m not a religious person, but I was raised Catholic and like to give The Pope the benefit of the doubt. And a lot of what this Pope says lately gets taken out of context and lost in translation. That said, The Pope said what now?
While speaking in Turin, Italy, he stated, “If you trust only men you have lost. It makes me think of … people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit a distrust, doesn’t it?”
The pope then chastised those who invest in weapons industries saying, “duplicity is the currency of today … they say one thing and do another.”
Luke 22:36 comes to mind, “Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.” If nothing else, this Pope at least keeps things interesting.

Md. leaders join call to remove Confederate emblems
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said she will proceed with changing the name of a popular park that bears the name of Robert E. Lee. It is the latest move to take down any signs of the Confederacy from public view in the wake of the church shootings in South Carolina.
Confederate symbols, particularly the flag, have been controversial and offensive to some for some time. But now, the move is on to make the symbols far less prominently displayed, much to the protest of those who say they just want to preserve part of the nation's history.

Brooks noted that the murder of nine people in a Charleston Church last week may have happened in mere moments, "but it came into being over some time."
He said the suspect, 21-year-old Dylann Storm Roof, "was indoctrinated, radicalized, if you will, with an ideology of white nationalism or a racism, and so the point being here is we have got to look at not only this individual act of brutality. We also have to look at the atmosphere from which it emerged.

JUST IN: Alabama Gov. Bentley removes Confederate flags from Capitol grounds
Two workers came out of the Capitol building about 8:20 a.m. and with no fanfare quickly and quietly took the flag down. They declined to answer questions.
Moments later Gov. Bentley emerged from the Capitol on his way to an appearance in Hackleburg. Asked if he had ordered the flag taken down, the governor said, "Yes I did."
Asked his reasons for taking it down and if it included what happened in Charleston last week, the governor said, "Yes, partially this is about that. This is the right thing to do. We are facing some major issues in this state regarding the budget and other matters that we need to deal with. This had the potential to become a major distraction as we go forward. I have taxes to raise, we have work to do. And it was my decision that the flag needed to come down."

Autopsy of Freddie Gray shows 'high-energy' impact
The state medical examiner's office concluded that Gray's death could not be ruled an accident, and was instead a homicide, because officers failed to follow safety procedures "through acts of omission."
Though Gray was loaded into the van on his belly, the medical examiner surmised that he may have gotten to his feet and was thrown into the wall during an abrupt change in direction. He was not belted in, but his wrists and ankles were shackled, putting him "at risk for an unsupported fall during acceleration or deceleration of the van."
