Camera catches suspect in Cross Keys, Abbottstown robberies
Surveillance cameras at the Adams County Courthouse have done more than monitor the immediate area. Footage recorded by the cameras might be used to build a case against a Gettysburg man charged with robbing convenience stores in Cross Keys and Abbottstown. A preliminary hearing for Melvin Lamont Williams, 35, was held Wednesday before Magisterial District Judge John Zepp III. Williams is accused of robbing the Choice convenience store in Abbottstown on Jan. 6 and the Cross Keys Getty Mart near New Oxford on Jan. 10, making off with more than $700. State police at Gettysburg and Eastern Adams Regional Police both reported the convenience stores have video footage of a black male holding a white T-shirt over his lower face. State police Trooper Nicholas Bloschichak said cameras also caught a similarly dressed Williams prior to the robberies leaving his residence at the 29 W.

We sat down and discussed it and have applied for a grant."Elephants on Parade is a public art initiative being developed in partnership by the Somerset County Foundation, Somerset Inc., Laurel Arts, the Somerset County Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Somerset County and the International Conservation Center. The groups applied for a $13,000 Somerset County Foundation grant through the chamber to develop two prototype elephant sculptures, one large elephant and one small one.
Dawgs here, brought football weather
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. _ Greetings on a chilly, windy morning at Dark Star, where the weather can't dampen the mood on the first gameday of spring training. The UGA 'Dawgs are in town, and the Braves are deploying most of their regular lineup, at least for the first few innings. That includes Mark Kotsay in center field, batting sixth behind Jeff Francoeur and ahead of designated hitter Joe Borchard. All other projected starters are in except catcher Brian McCann (former 'Dawgs catcher Clint Sammons is getting a bone tossed his way, so to speak), and left fielder Matt Diaz, whose wife had a baby yesterday. Bobby Cox hasn't said yet whether Diaz and Brandon Jones will platoon, but there are indications that Diaz could get the majority of playing time in left, at least early.
