		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Health Department is considering creation of a “clean” needle exchange program for intravenous users of illegal drugs, as a way to prevent HIV and Hepatitis C infections and reach addicts with treatment options. The idea was first broached to the County Council three years ago but no action was taken by health officials, despite the exponential growth of opioid overdose deaths in the county and rising infection rates. But, as a consultant outlined the grim statistics of the opioid crisis to the County Council on Tuesday (8//14/2018), members of the Council sought to avoid any political responsibility for making a decision on whether to create such a program here. However, the pioneer of needle exchange programs in the state, Baltimore City, has shown extraordinary reductions in HIV infection rates due to its program, city officials told Cecil Times. Councilor Jackie Gregory (R-5) said the County Council does not have “a lot to say” about drug policy and it was up to the Health Department to decide. She said the real problem was that addicts were getting “a lot of bad drugs,” including heroin laced with the deadly fentanyl, not infections from re-use of needles. She also said [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The town of Elkton saw significant population growth in the past decade while the rest of the county’s towns saw more modest gains, according to new census data. Elkton grew by 29.8 percent, growing from 11,893 people in 2000 to 15,443 in 2010, according to census data. Elkton moved up a notch, from 18th place to 17th, on the list of the 20 most populous cities or towns in Maryland. Baltimore remained the state’s largest city, even after its loss of over 30,000 residents since the last census. Frederick was the second largest city in the state while Rockville, in Montgomery County, came in third. On the Eastern Shore, Salisbury was the largest local jurisdiction and remained the 9th largest in the state, while Easton moved up from 19th place on the last census report to 16th largest in the new report. Demographically, Elkton’s population is predominantly white—11,738 residents—while African-Americans or blacks constituted the largest minority group in the town: 2,337 residents. Other minorities included 584 multi-racial individuals and 407 Asians. Elkton’s growth is not entirely due to new arrivals since part of the change can be attributed to annexation of properties into town limits since the last census.
