Something special is happening at the Cumberland Theatre but you only have until March 17 to see it.
Students from seven local schools and some who are home schooled are all bonding on stage, singing, dancing and making life-long friendships. You won’t find any school rivalries there! What could cause this to happen, you ask?
The Cumberland Theatre Teens and Mr. Bob Thompson who began this venture last year with the musical “Aida,” now brings us “Fame.” “Fame” was a popular movie, Broadway show and TV series in the 1980’s which is still relevant to this day.
Please show your support for these talented teenagers, ages 13 to 19 by allowing them to entertain you. With a cast of nearly 40 and accompanied by live band, they will inspire you with their exuberance and enthusiasm. These are students from Fort Hill, Allegany, Bishop Walsh, Frankfort, Mountain Ridge, Allegany College of Maryland and Potomac State College, and some are home-schooled.
Final shows are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door or you may call the theatre at 301-759-4990 for reservations.

Town of Westernport needs a police force and a curfew
Since the consolidation of Bruce and Valley high schools the town of Westernport rapidly deteriorated from what was once a quite respectable community to a community in a decline in residents, and along with that came a collapse in local government due to lack of knowledge and bad decisions that set the town of Westernport back 60 years.
One bad decision was to give up their police force, and with no constant visual law enforcement it has created an open range for drug dealerss, addicts, thieves, drunks and speeding vehicles that choose to ignore our city laws and speed limits and have totally disregard for the safety of the citizens who are on the streets, especially the children who are like deer, you don’t see them until their in front of you. -

We’re twisting the meaning of the Founding Fathers’ words
I really had to chuckle when I read a recent comment someone made in a northeastern publication: “I’d like to suggest that Congress make a tiny change in our Second Amendment that would more accurately reflect the Founding Father’s intent (to wit): “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear muskets, shall not be infringed.”
