Due to the deaths of two Williamsport High School students, the Williamsport Blue Band Boosters have canceled their annual Yard Sale Extravaganza, which was to be held Saturday.  The boosters appreciate the community's continued support of events and hope that residents will go to their mini-yard sale during the annual Van Lear neighborhood yard sale Saturday, May 19, from 8 a.m. to noon at 10607 August Court in Williamsport. All of the donated items will be on sale at that time.

“I'm a very disappointed resident of the state of Maryland. Our Gov. O'Malley has got his way in congressional redistricting. Why was this done? Any dummy can see he wanted another Democrat to serve in another area. In other words, the great people of Western Maryland have very little say in the interests of the state of Maryland, and its operation. I wonder if Alex Mooney would have been elected ... the Democrats want to take full control. ... Our state, as far as I'm concerned, is a communistic state.” - Hagerstown “You know, President Obama has done more in his two years to get rid of these terrorist leaders than George Bush did the whole time he sat in office.
