By Patrick Herron

Published November 7, 2022 at 4:18PM

Per Montgomery County: Montgomery County health officials, in partnership with the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland-College Park (UMD), recently launched wastewater surveillance to detect COVID-19 circulating in the community. Wastewater surveillance provides an accurate way to detect illness-causing viruses and bacteria, such as SARS-CoV-2. Water samples will be collected bi-weekly at five sites in the County and sent to UMD for analysis. Data and results will be posted on the County’s COVID-19 website and the information will be updated weekly.

“Wastewater surveillance will be a game changer for our efforts to better predict outbreaks and prevent them from happening,” said County Executive Marc Elrich. “The partnership between our Department of Health and Human Services, the Maryland Department of Health, the University of Maryland and the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission is an important tool to help us protect the health of our residents. With winter around the corner, we want to be prepared if there is another surge in COVID-19 cases and this surveillance system helps us do that.”

An Estimated 350,000 Vehicles Were Severely Damaged in Hurricane Ian—Montgomery County’s Office of Consumer Protection Warns Local Buyers to Beware of Getting One

By Patrick Herron

Published November 7, 2022 at 12:41PM

Per Montgomery County: After hurricanes with large-scale floods—such as happened in Florida recently with Hurricane Ian—flood-damaged vehicles often end up at salvage auctions and bought by rebuilders. The vehicles should be marked as “salvage” or “total-loss” on the title, but every year, thousands of severely water-damaged vehicles are resold to unsuspecting consumers—often in different market areas. The Montgomery County Office of Consumer Protection (OCP) is warning local residents seeking to buy a used vehicle that they should take precautionary steps to avoid unknowingly purchasing one.

The Office of Consumer Protection says unscrupulous sellers know how to “wash” the titles and hide the damage. However, the damage caused by water will eventually impact the life of the vehicle. OCP recently added to its staff automotive specialist Dave Elswick. Elswick, an Automotive Service Excellence (ASE)-certified investigator with 17 years of automotive technician experience. The ASE certification covers 28 areas of expertise and three master designations. He is available to help residents who think they might be buying, or have bought, a vehicle that was water damaged.

Commanders Expected to Sell For $7 Billion; Sale to Be Finalized By NFL Owners Meeting in March 2023

By MCS Staff

Published November 7, 2022 at 11:31AM

Over the weekend Jay Glazer reported on Fox that Dan Snyder is indeed planning on selling the entire franchise, and not just selling a minority stake to raise funds for any debt or plans for a new stadium. Glazer also reports that the asking price is expected to be approximately $7 Billion, which would be a big return on the $800 million the team went for when Snyder bought the franchise in 1999. According to various reports, many feel the team will sell for the asking price and the Commanders will be under new ownership for the 2023 NFL season.

TMZ previously reported that “Jay-Z and Jeff Bezos, two of the most successful men in America, are interested in buying the Washington Commanders, in light of owner Dan Snyder’s interest in selling the NFL team, sources tell TMZ Sports.” Over the weekend, NBA superstar Kevin Durant (who is from Prince George’s County and attended high school in Montgomery County) expressed interest in being part of an ownership group. He told ESPN that he “would love to give a bit of my money to be part of the Commanders, but we’ll see.” The full Jay Glazer report can be seen in the video below.
