Today's riddle: What did the wall say to the other wall. 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Multiple People Injured In Four-Vehicle Annapolis Crash (patch.com) — Annapolis residents saw major disruption Monday when a four-car crash near a local shopping center on Old Solomons Island Road sent four people to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Two others declined treatment as Annapolis firefighters and police responded, temporarily shutting down the road between Forest Drive and Somerville Road for an investigation into what caused the collision.
2. Mahan Hall Auditorium Renamed Volgenau Auditorium (whatsupmag.com) — In Annapolis, the U.S. Naval Academy's historic Mahan Hall auditorium has been renamed the Volgenau Auditorium after a major family donation that will fund extensive upgrades. The gift will modernize seating, infrastructure, and audio-visual systems while creating an endowment to maintain the venue, ensuring it remains a cultural and academic hub for midshipmen and visiting performers for years to come.
3. St. John's College Announces Fall Lecture Series (sjc.edu) — St. John's College is inviting Annapolis residents to free Friday evening lectures and concerts this fall at Mellon Hall's Francis Scott Key Auditorium. The series brings visiting scholars, artists, and musicians to the Annapolis campus, with talks recorded for later viewing and full schedules available online for anyone planning a thought-provoking night out.
4. OLS Student Selected for U.S. Naval Academy Summer STEM Program (otmj.com) — A motivated middle-school graduate spent a week this summer at the U.S. Naval Academy's competitive Summer STEM Program in Annapolis joining top students from across the country. Her selection highlights the academy's draw for aspiring engineers and future service members who want a first taste of campus life and hands-on STEM exploration.
5. Maryland Proposes Payment Caps For Ozempic, Jardiance (thebaynet.com) — State officials meeting in Annapolis are weighing payment caps on Ozempic and Jardiance for Maryland's public employee and local government health plans, aiming to save millions in taxpayer dollars. The proposal wouldn't directly cut what patients pay at the pharmacy but would limit what participating government programs reimburse through their insurers and pharmacy benefit managers, with safeguards if the drugs face FDA-listed shortages.
