Bowling Legend Danny Wiseman to Host Tournament

One of the greatest bowlers of all times is seeking bowlers and sponsors for his youth scholarship tournament set for Oct. 14 at Country Club Lanes in Middle River.

  Father's Day was an emotional weekend for Danny Wiseman. The weekend came just after the 20th anniversary of the death of his father, Albert, to cancer. Wiseman spent the weekend doing what he has done almost all his life: bowl. Wiseman, a Dundalk native, won his second straight PBA East Regional title Sunday as he defeated Tommy Dakouvanos, 267-200, in the finals of the Howell Lanes Open in Howell, NJ. That win came a week after Wiseman defeated Jeff Zaffino, 279-268, in the finals of Dominick V. Diccio Memorial in Turnersville, NJ.

Legislative Redistricting Plan Benefits Eastern Baltimore County

Del John Olszewski Jr. said the map proposed by the Governor’s Redistricting Advisory Committee will help keep communities together.

Having recently reviewed the state legislative district map proposed by the Governor’s Redistricting Advisory Committee, all signs point to our legislative district faring very well during the redistricting process.  As many residents will recall, we were not so fortunate when then-Gov. Paris Glendenning unveiled his redistricting map a decade ago.  During the process, it took a lawsuit filed with our state’s highest court to overturn an ill-advised division of the communities that, among other changes, would have had Dundalk sharing a district with some of the western-most parts of Baltimore City.  This time around, our district will not only keep every resident it had prior to the redistricting process, but will welcome additional Essex …

Utilizing places like the now-vacant Diamond Point Shopping Center could provide an effective location to tackle homelessness.

The recent decision by the Dundalk United Methodist Church to cancel plans for a homeless shelter in the heart of the Old Dundalk community has brought the issue of homelessness into the forefront.   As we consider the issue objectively, we should be able to agree that the issue merits our attention and calls us to consider our response in action. First, we have an obligation to care for one another and, as such, to identify solutions to the pressing challenges we face as a community. Indeed, finding the right housing and rehabilitation options are critical if we ever hope not only to meet the needs of the homeless, but also to end their dependency on government services and return them to being productive citizens.  Helping the less …
