Reptile House in Druid Hill Park

On August 5, 1948, Mayor Thomas D’Alessandro and other Baltimore City dignitaries came by motorcade to Druid Hill Park for the official opening of the Baltimore Zoo’s new Reptile House. They entered an oval room with a shallow, tile-lined pool at its center where small alligators and turtles swam. Set into the walls of the room were brightly lit tanks containing an eye-popping array of local and exotic snakes, lizards, and amphibians. Artists employed by the City’s Bureau of Parks had painted woodland, desert, or swamp scenes inside each tank to mimic the natural habitats of the occupants.

High school graduations will remain at the Bob Carpenter Center

ELKTON — Cecil County Public Schools will once again hold its graduation ceremonies at the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark, Del. Two members of the Cecil County School Board voted against it Wednesday evening, but were outvoted with a 3-2 nod in favor of spending $58,590 to rent the Bob Carpenter Center for the 2027 graduations. Joe Ferdinando and Brian Hampton — this was Hampton’s final meeting — voted against the expense, with Hampton noting that coming budget cuts from the state means CCPS might need those funds elsewhere, including a shortage of teacher assistants in kindergarten classes. (Sheila Tome defeated Hampton for the District 4 seat. Hawley decided not to seek re-election. Grant Handley won her seat. Joe Ferdinando and challenger Dominick Mannella are separated by less than 2 percentage points. That race will be determined by a final tally with all ballots counted sometime Friday according to Gary Holmes, chief of the Cecil County Board of Elections) Superintendent Jeffrey Lawson said the individual schools budget about $7,000 on average for the ceremony regardless, so having it off site only adds about $20,000 to the CCPS budget. “Already on the budget doesn’t mean it should be spent,” Ferdinando said.

Democrats sweep Kent commissioner seats: With final count, Shoge, Carroll and Bench defeat all three Republican incumbents

CHESTERTOWN — Democrats Sam Shoge, John Carroll and Thad Bench won all three Kent County commissioner seats, defeating Republican incumbents John Price, Albert Nickerson and Ron Fithian. Shoge received 4,352 votes, followed by Carroll with 4,039 and Bench with 4,003. Price received 3,883 votes, Nickerson had 3,840 and Fithian had 3,717. Bench finished 120 votes ahead of Price for the third seat. The outcome reversed the election night standings, when the three incumbents held the top spots before mail-in and provisional ballots were added. Commissioner-elect Carroll thanked supporters, volunteers and donors. “It was a full sweep. We swept all three seats of the county commissioners here in Kent County, and I'm just so excited and so humbled by this,” Carroll said. “I am so thankful, and I can't wait to get started, get to work, and make big things happen. I am here to work for you, Kent County.” Shoge also said he was “thrilled” by the outcome. In a statement Friday, Price congratulated the winners and thanked his fellow commissioners, county employees, family and supporters. “I have truly enjoyed serving as a Commissioner and I am very proud of our accomplishments over the last four years,” Price said.

Perryville ceremony celebrates military veterans

PERRYVILLE — Of the more than 300 million Americans in this country, only 1 percent of them have served, will serve, or are serving in the U.S. military. U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 5 Jason J. Horton provided that statistic Wednesday while serving as the keynote speaker during the Veterans Day ceremony at Perryville American Legion Susquehanna Post 135. So while the vast majority of Americans possess a general awareness of the sacrifices made by servicemen and servicewomen, that 99 percent hasn’t and never will experience how those day-in-day-out sacrifices feel to those in uniform. Those sacrifices aren’t made only by military men and military women serving around the globe — some of them in harm’s way during conflicts — but by those carrying out their duties stateside. And one of the hardest and most common sacrifices is spending long periods of time away from family, according to Horton who, is stationed at Aberdeen Proving Ground and serves as senior technical advisor to Portfolio Management Executive Command and Control Information Network. Horton told attendees that, at the 25-year mark in his military career, he finds himself living back in the barracks for the next two years because of his latest
