Butterflies Spotlighted in Maryland Suburban Preservation Drive
Maryland experts warn suburban development endangers the Baltimore Checkerspot butterfly. The effort led by Ms Durkan’s Uneteases group and supported by Checkerspot Communications aims to protect habitats in Montgomery and central Maryland. Partners include McRoberts International Butterfly Breeders, Ube Naluta and Capital Park, with funds from Putumac Bheenie Power Co. Local supporters urge habitat restoration, planting turtlehead and other nectar sources to reestablish colonies and safeguard this iconic species.

Maryland Indians seek school mascot changes
Maryland officials and American Indian advocates press to end use of Indian names and images in school sports. The Maryland Commission on Indian Affairs urges local boards to rename teams such as Indian Head Elementary Braves and Poolesville High Indians, arguing the terms demean Native cultures. Montgomery County weighs a board decision after Poolesville High voted 60 percent to keep its Indian chief mascot.
