Cambridge launches lead hazard reduction program

CAMBRIDGE — During the four hour Oct. 26 Cambridge City council meeting, Housing Programs Manager Ed Crosby, delivered a quarterly presentation mandated under a housing and urban development agreement, coinciding with National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week where he announced the Lead Hazard Reduction Program. Crosby provided in-depth details regarding high lead levels and the city’s response. He began by highlighting that children in Dorchester County show high blood-lead levels compared to the rest of Maryland, describing local figures as “real high.” He stressed the critical need for all parents to have their children tested, noting that lead poisoning causes irreversible, lifelong negative impacts on child health and development. “The whole thing about the lead poison prevention is really all behind making sure that everyone has their children tested for lead, because there’s high lead blood levels here, particularly in Dorchester, throughout the state, but Dorchester’s numbers are real high,” Crosby said. The program conducts periodic workshops for property owners and residents focused on lead reduction strategies and managing lead paint hazards. A workshop originally planned for Lead Poison Prevention Week was postponed due to scheduling conflicts and rescheduled to take place Nov. 19-20. The free two-day visual lead inspection training

‘Opportunity does not equal access,’ Charlene Arnold promotes women’s economic mobility as USOA Mrs. Maryland 2027

PRESTON — For the second year in a row, Caroline County native Charlene Arnold has been crowned United States of America’s Mrs. Maryland 2027. Arnold is a U.S. Army veteran, entrepreneur, and mom to five children. She is the daughter of George and Grace Price of Preston, Maryland. Arnold grew up in Caroline County with her twin sister, and loved her local church. Growing up in Preston, she felt her only options were to become a farmer or a trucker. “That was the only thing that I’ve ever seen growing up, right? My dad was in trucking, so I got into trucking,” she said. While trucking felt like a natural decision, Arnold was surprised at how it fit her lifestyle. Arnold described, “I didn’t know it could work for me, and it ended up turning out to be one of my best decisions ever.” Arnold’s personal success inspired her to share this path with others. She created the DriveHER foundation, an organization that trains 100 women around the country every year to get into the transportation space, free of charge. The mission statement behind the foundation is “Opportunity does not equal access.” Arnold believes extra work must be done to

New Northern Middle opens in Calvert County

Calvert public schools’ Superintendent Marcus Newsome noted it had been 22 months since his predecessor and other school and community leaders did the traditional moving of dirt with golden shovels. And now the new Northern Middle School has opened for learning. The project, which was slowed by weather and challenges in obtaining building materials, cost nearly $60 million, which was a combination of state and county funds. The three-story, 109,237-square-foot building, co-located with Northern High on Chaneyville Road in Owings, can accommodate 800 students. With its current enrollment at 715 there’s room for more, although it’s still Calvert County’s most populous middle school. “It takes every department in the school system to make this happen,” the superintendent said during his monthly report to the Calvert County school board Nov. 5. In a matter of hours, the new building went from being a storage site for unopened boxes and bare shelves into a new school. Newsome credited school staff, assisted by honor students from Northern High, with the move from the old school to the new building. “It’s looking amazing,” Ruth Ollie Reist, a Northern High junior and current student member of the board, said of the new facility.
