Jenco Released by Shiite Captors Arrives in Damascus
The Rev Lawrence Jenco, 51, a Joliet Illinois priest held nearly 19 months by Shiite captors in Lebanon, arrived in Damascus after release. He was greeted by Peggy Say whose brother Terry Anderson remains a hostage, and said he felt well though his health is fragile. Syrian officials prepared to hand him to U.S. authorities as the Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for his kidnapping in January.

Hedges End Feud With Humane Society Over Memorial Fund
A Walkersville family ends its clash with the Frederick County Humane Society after months of dispute over Cathy Hedges memorial funds. John Hedges III says a Columbia resident will receive a trained dog from Massachusetts funded by the memorial, at $2,000 per dog, with plans to place dogs nationwide while winding down their involvement. The family sought a spay neuter program and a stained glass window, but says they now want to use the money and sever ties with the society.

Adamstown Liquor License Fight Divides Small Town
In Adamstown a dispute over Harry Wolfe’s bid for a class D liquor license to sell beer and wine from his Mountville Road cafe store divides residents. Some fear crime and drunken driving, while Wolfe argues the request is logical given location between Buckeystown and Point of Rocks. The town, never previously licensed, also struggles with long-standing water contamination and recent debates over industrial solvents.
