Locks

A Hagerstown woman charged last week in a purse snatching was nabbed when another woman told her to get in her vehicle and then locked her inside. Teresa Lynn Conway, 42, of 127A Buena Vista Ave., was charged by Hagerstown police with robbery, second-degree assault, attempted theft and disorderly conduct in the incident, which occurred in Ayers Alley near the Washington County District Court Building, according to the statement of probable cause. When officers responded to the scene, Conway was in the back seat of a vehicle of another woman, the charging document said.

WILLIAMSPORT - Connected by their membership in Faith Christian Fellowship at 16726 Lappans Road, the Wolford and Horst families have bonded in a special way. You could say they are Locked in Love. "We have all attended for years and although we are growing, we are so much like family," Ginger Wolford said. A fund called the Isaiah Fund exists for donations for the family of young Isaiah Horst, who has been dealing with medical problems. Although a bone marrow transplant was successful so far, a permanent amount of nerve damage was done to Isaiah's legs and he is in a wheelchair.

Several members of the United Methodist Youth Fellowship of St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Smithsburg had their long hair cut and donated it to Locks of Love, a program that makes wigs for children undergoing cancer treatments. Youth director Debbie Mooney agreed to get her hair cut if any girls in the youth group would take part in the program. Recently, Mooney and youth group members Dominique DiLandro and Torre Montoya went together for comfort and support to get their hair cut. The donated hair was mailed to Locks of Love in Lake Worth, Fla.

SMITHSBURG - Emma Worthington may not be the first youngster to contribute her hair to Locks of Love but the 11-year-old Smithsburg girl certainly can empathize with those who have lost their hair because of treatment for cancer. As shown in the "before" picture, Emma holds a picture of herself as she looked at age 5 when she was battling Rhabdomyosarcoma at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Emma recently had 10 1/2 inches of her hair cut for use in making wigs for cancer patients who have lost their hair, as she did six years ago. The "after" picture shows Emma with her new hairdo.

Randi Leydig, 12, has donated her hair to the Locks of Love program for the fifth time. The Smithsburg girl cut off a foot of her hair and now her hair is down to her shoulders. Her hair will be used to make wigs for children who have lost their hair due to a medical condition.

Mackenzie Riford, 12, had her hair cut Friday, donating her long blond hair to Locks of Love, a nonprofit group that makes wigs for financially disadvantaged children who have lost their hair because of illness. The haircut took place at Blondy and Company on Opal Court in Hagerstown. Hairstylist Sharon Ricker did the honors, and saved a foot-long pony tail of Mackenzie's hair. The hair will be shipped off to the charity. Mackenzie said she heard about the organization more than a year ago, and waited until this year for her hair to be long enough to donate.
