Coppini the sculptor of Key’s monument history
The article recounts Pompeo Coppini born May 19 1870 in Moglia Italy as the true sculptor who created the monument to Francis Scott Key unveiled in 1898, under the guidance of Alexander Doyle. It traces Coppini’s escape from poverty, move to Florence, and early struggle before joining Doyle’s studio as a 27 year old assistant who executed the work.

State fire marshal fends off funding in Assembly clash
Maryland lawmakers rejected most requests from the State Fire Marshal's office for new personnel and equipment, shelving plans for a Western Maryland HAZMAT unit. Deputy chief Bob Thomas urged urgency, noting long response times in Allegany and Garrett counties and reliance on distant back‑ups and helicopters. The report favored expanded HAZMAT training and a statewide response plan, but funding has been blocked for eight years. Frederick County is among the busier inspection areas, with Harford and Charles leading.
