Seven State Police vehicles (including two marked "Forensic Services") were parked in the 600 block of Avenue H on Wednesday evening, September 10. Police found electronics and a remote firing system/device in a garage there that are believed to be related to explosives found in a house in Newmanstown. A Columbia man, Timothy Shaeffer, has been charged with weapons of mass destruction, risking catastrophe, and recklessly endangering another person.

The bridge inspectors were back.

A bridge inspector chipped away at cracked concrete on the underside of the Veterans Memorial Bridge on September 11. The area under the bridge was taped off about a week ago because of falling concrete.

Several pieces of concrete came loose, including the big chunk shown above.

This was the result.

So was this.
