10 Stink Bug Secrets Most Maryland Residents Never Knew

Maryland residents often notice stink bugs when the weather begins changing, especially in late summer and fall when these insects start appearing around windows, doors, and sunny exterior walls. One may crawl across a screen, another may settle near a porch light, and several may suddenly show up inside a home despite doors and windows appearing closed. Their shield-shaped bodies and unpleasant defensive odor make them easy to recognize, but their behavior is more interesting than most homeowners realize.

A Province Changes Hands: Maryland Contested

On Christmas Day 1645, a Thursday, the House of Lords sat at Westminster and gave an order about a colony three thousand miles away. "Ordered by the Lords in Parlyament assembled, That the Comittee for forraigne Plantations, doe drawe vp an Ordinance, and present it to this howse, for the setling of the Plantation of Maryland vnder the Comand of Protestants, and for the indempnity of those that haue or shall act in this bussines."[1]The first colonists had landed in Maryland not quite twelve years before. Its charter belonged to Cecil Calvert, second Lord Baltimore, an English Catholic who had built the province on a bargain. Catholics would be left alone there, and so would everyone else who professed Christianity. It was his policy from the first, though it was not written into law until 1649. Few other places in the English world offered Catholics as much. The Lords were proposing to end that bargain by ordinance.

Maryland "is facing an energy crisis," utility Pepco says

"Maryland is facing an energy crisis," electric utility Pepco warned in a message to customers Thursday. "When demand for electricity is high and supply is limited, it puts pressure on the system and can increase costs," the message said, advising that customers "may see changes in your energy bill" as the region enters the winter months. The utility again has attempted to explain that many of the surging costs are not its responsibility, such as the taxes and fees imposed by Montgomery County and Maryland state governments. It specifically mentioned the EmPOWER Maryland fee that the Maryland legislature recently hiked again. Politicians hope that you will think Pepco is charging you these fees, which is part of the impetus for the utility to inform customers to the contrary.

Maryland pilot to be inducted into Coast Guard Academy Wall of Gallantry

Kent Island native and Coast Guard Academy Class of 2013 Lt. Cmdr. Austin English will be inducted into the U.S. Coast Guard Academy Wall of Gallantry for exceptional dedication that continues to inspire others. English has been recognized for two separate missions, and is credited with saving lives and demonstrating bravery, determination and mission focus during turbulent weather while stationed in Alaska. Growing up on Kent Island, English said he was always drawn to service, after being inspired by his grandparents. With a mother and aunt who worked as flight attendants, English was also surrounded by aviation throughout his childhood. While at the Coast Guard Academy, he said he had the opportunity to learn directly from aircrews and dive into aviation. “I’ve always followed the mantra of surround yourself with people you want to be like,” he said. Following naval flight school training, English went on to pilot and instruct HC-130J aircraft across various duty stations, including in Alaska, where he was honored for actions that earned him the Air Medal and the Coast Guard Commendation Medal. There, on Oct. 24, 2019, English is credited with helping to conduct the first-ever night landing in Dutch Harbor, Alaska, by an HC-130J
