Easton buildings lit green for ‘causes closest to home’

EASTON — The lights outside Beau Monde Elite Fitness on S. Aurora Street and iFrog Marketing Solutions on Bay Street have been changing color all fall. They were purple in September for Talbot Goes Purple, pink in October for breast cancer awareness, and yellow at the start of November for the service members who are not home yet. Now through Nov. 11, both buildings are lit green in support of veterans. Operation Green Light for Veterans is a national campaign that asks counties, businesses, and households to light up green in the week before Veterans Day, and the color was chosen for hope and for moving forward. The teams associated with both of these businesses know none of these are causes anyone around here needs to be sold on. They are the ones that have already come to touch most of the families in this county, and lighting up for them is a way to show support, together. “It may seem like a hard season to agree on much of anything,” the marketing team at Preston Automotive Group agrees,” But nobody drives past a purple light and asks who put it up or where they stand on anything else.

Caroline County deputies arrest Cambridge man in Ridgely home invasion

RIDGELY — Deputies from the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office responded Nov. 8 to the 11,000 block of Holly Road for a reported burglary. While deputies were en route, the Caroline County Communications Center remained on an active 911 call with the victim. She reported that her ex-boyfriend, Donald Hill, had broken a window and entered her residence. The victim told dispatchers she was not home at the time, but her daughter was hiding inside the residence and Hill was believed to still be inside. Upon arrival, deputies searched the residence and found Hill lying on a bed in an upstairs bedroom. Hill failed to comply with deputies’ commands and was removed from the residence while actively resisting arrest, authorities said. During the investigation, deputies learned Hill was wanted on Caroline County and Talbot County bench warrants. In 2024, he was charged with driving while impaired and driving on a suspended license. The suspended-license charge was a violation of his probation terms. Hill later failed to appear in court on those charges, authorities said. Hill, 45, of Cambridge, was charged with home invasion, third-degree burglary, malicious destruction of property, reckless endangerment, assault, resisting arrest, intoxicated endangerment and failure to obey a

Talbot Council grants Neighborhood Services of Talbot contingency funding

EASTON — The Talbot County Council granted a $172,000 request from Neighborhood Services of Talbot during its meeting Tuesday night, compensating for a significant federal cut to the nonprofit’s budget. Andy Hollis, the director of the nonprofit, told the council this “unfortunate” request is the result of federal cuts to funding used to aid the homeless during the winter months. As a result, Neighborhood Services will see a loss of $142,000. “That’s a 50% reduction in the amount of homelessness funds we use for eviction prevention and for putting people up that are homeless in our local hotel,” Hollis told the council. Hollis stressed that this is not a permanent solution to homelessness, but these services save lives when temperatures drop. An estimated 30 people used the resource last winter to avoid the cold. “This is a band-aid,” Hollis said. “This is not the way to solve homelessness, this is a way for us to put people up, especially in extreme weather conditions…that don’t have any other place to go and in freezing temperatures would run the risk of hypothermia or death, plain and simple.” The answer to a problem like this long-term, Hollis explained, would be a low-barrier homeless

Mail-in and provisional ballots continue to be counted in Talbot races: Republicans hold three Talbot council seats after Thursday canvass

EASTON — More ballots were counted at the Talbot County Board of Elections on Thursday, with additional mail-ins and provisionals being counted as the end of the election nears. Tammy Stafford, election director for the county, reported Thursday morning there were still 95 mail-in ballots and 317 provisional ballots to be counted. Out of those provisionals, the board approved 236 ballots to be counted in full, 75 to be partially counted, five to be rejected and one to be tabled, or postponed until tomorrow. The rejected ballots were not counted due to issues with mail-in votes already being counted or application complications. The tabled ballot was postponed for a lack of valid ID attached. Once the deadline officially passes at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning, the ballot will be rejected if a valid ID has not been submitted to the Board of Elections. The chairs of both the Talbot County Democratic and Republican Central Committees — Phil Jackson and Shari Wilcoxon, respectively — were in attendance Thursday morning, along with Republican county council candidates Frank Gunsallus and Wade Strickland. Carol Van Erven, running for judge of the orphans’ court, and Anne Rosen, school board, were also present. Multiple written objections were

A 23-year-old Dallas man walked out of a house on Hollywood Avenue in Silver Spring, Maryland, carrying a “privately manufactured firearm” and hit a plainclothes officer in the head with it, Montgomery County police said, according to NBC4 Washington. The officer had approached a Corvette that was reported stolen in Anne Arundel County on Oct. 1, 32 days before the confrontation, police said. The man, Isaiah Armstrong-Smith, is charged with first-degree assault, possession of a stolen vehicle and multiple firearms offenses, and is held without bond. Those are police allegations, and no court has ruled on them.
