Four Dogs Brewing Sees New Possibilities for Easton’s East End
Reviving a place’s reputation takes time, especially in a close-knit community like Easton. For Patrick Ragan and Jim Marvel, two of the owners of Four Dogs Brewing Company, moving into the former Sidetracked Saloon was about more than finding a home for their business. It was a commitment to the future of Easton’s East End, a part of town they believe is ready for a new chapter.

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.

Letter to Editor: Distracted, Impaired and Impatient Drivers Put Us All at Risk
Recently, within ten minutes, I was nearly hit twice while riding my bicycle in Easton. On North Aurora Street, a driver honked aggressively behind me and then passed with about six inches to spare. Maryland law requires drivers to give a person on a bicycle at least three feet when passing, and if there is no bike lane or shoulder, cyclists can “take the lane”. Six inches is not a judgment call. It is a near miss with a 4,000-pound car. And it gained her nothing: when she parked at her location, I pulled up just 15 seconds behind her. She put my life at risk to save a quarter of a minute.

‘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

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
