By Fr. Glenn Jones:
There was a heart-touching story the other day about a sheepdog who fought off a pack of coyotes to protect his flock, in the process “dispatching” eight of them. That’s a tough and dedicated dog!

The proposed new complex of 8 tennis courts at Overlook Park, which the Parks and Rec Board recently voted to deliver to County Council for their consideration, may cause some citizens to have questions, like “why now?” or “why do we need more tennis courts?” or “what about pickleball?” or “why is Overlook Park the right place?’’
