Frederick County urges state to fund new Deer Crossing school
Local officials press the Maryland Board of Public Works to override the Interagency Committee on School Construction and fund Deer Crossing Elementary near Lake Singanore while noting Walkersville Middle also needs money. The piece argues the state should rollback past funding shifts that left growing Frederick County schools underfunded despite rapid growth and overcrowding. It cites Hillcrest Elementary and past LAC appeals as precedent, urging action similar to previous Orchard Grove and Glade elementary fights.

Conviction Overturned for Armed Robber Smith
The Frederick News-Post letters page carries a critique from Greg Matthews of New Market arguing that the October ruling reducing a 25 year armed robbery sentence to five years, with seven served, and applying two years to a separate 18 year murder solicitation sentence, undermines deterrence. The piece notes a deputy killer plot and says jurors may have been improperly influenced by a telephone conversation. The writer laments the justice system and invites further letters.
