Frederick County Chronicle Roundup 1990 Highlights
A year began with a fatality in Frederick County as icy roads triggered accidents while Frederick Memorial Hospital faced heavy admissions. Fredrick Cablevision aired hearings from Winchester Hall and political turnover included Paul Gordon sworn in as mayor. Boundary gaps overturned a New Market annexation ruling and a fuel leak tainted local water bodies near Hood College. The Governor’s Drug and Alcohol panel honored locals as a medevac helicopter entered service and a foreclosure on a printing contract occurred. A Jefferson couple received a decade for abusing a toddler during an adoption attempt.
