Two Frederick County school projects move up schedule
Frederick County plans move ahead funding for Catoctin High School classrooms and a new Central County High School. The gym addition for Catoctin will cost about 2 million in bonds, while the Catoctin classroom project totals about 6.5 million funded largely by general obligation bonds. The shift frees dollars by delaying a multi agency law enforcement headquarters until fiscal 2000, with the central high school opening targeted earlier than previously planned. The plan now shows 24.5 million in fiscal 2003 with 11 million as grant funding, prompting commission discussion on capital priorities.

Cold Winds Thwart Fruit Damage and Weather Outlook
Frost and wind persisted into Thursday, sparing blooming apricots at Pryor Orchards according to Martha Housser. Fresh cold gave crocuses and daffodils an early bloom, and Maryland growers monitor potential damage while forecasts call for a modest warmup and a weekend mix of sun, rain, or snow. Local police noted a quiet cold shelter night, with river levels continuing to fall at Point of Rocks and the Monocacy.

Principal disputes portrayal of attack
NEW MARKET middle school students received a memo from Principal Sally Smith disputing police and news accounts of an attack last week on a high school student. She says the weapons were a miniature baseball bat and pieces of a 2 by 4, not a full board or unprovoked assault. The three attackers, all sixth graders, faced disciplinary action and the victim’s classmates and families remain concerned about safety.
