Today's riddle: What is full of holes but still holds water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Warning To Avoid Bynum Run Lifted By Harford Co. Officials (patch.com) — Harford County officials have lifted earlier warnings to avoid contact with Bynum Run, the stream that flows through Bel Air, after a July sewer overflow was cleaned up and ongoing testing showed reduced risk. Residents are still urged to be cautious, since natural waterways, especially after heavy rain, can carry variable levels of bacteria and may still pose some health risk.
2. What We Know About The Man Killed By A Bel Air Officer And What Remains Unclear (dailyvoice.com) — Bel Air residents are learning more about the man fatally shot by a Bel Air police officer during a recent traffic stop on Franklin Street, as his family raises funds to return his body to Mexico. State investigators are reviewing body-camera and cell phone video while key details about what led to the shooting remain undisclosed, leaving unanswered questions for the community.
3. Harford County schools superintendent discusses priorities, challenges for new year (cbsnews.com) — Bel Air-area families will see big changes this school year as new Harford County Public Schools superintendent Dr. Dyann Mack, interviewed in Bel Air, outlines her priorities and budget cuts. She highlights reading by third grade, math proficiency in middle school, and post-graduation readiness, while acknowledging reductions to middle school sports, specialists, and early childhood supports to balance the 2027 budget.
4. Maryland sends two delegates to Miss America competitions in Florida (heraldmailmedia.com) — Bel Air resident Gianna Romero will represent Maryland at the Miss America competition in West Palm Beach next month, while Pikesville teen Aryani Odie competes in Miss America's Teen. Both young women are using their titles to promote advocacy projects tied to healthy relationships and invisible illnesses, and local readers can stream their performances online in early September.
