		<description><![CDATA[For over 20 years, Earleville residents living near a federal shipping channel dredge spoil dumpsite fought for recognition, accountability and an immediate solution for pollution of their drinking water wells. Finally, on Saturday 5/28/16, they got an apology, free bottled water, and the concerned attention of Gov. Larry Hogan’s administration, represented by the Secretary of the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE). But the polluters-in-chief—the US Army Corps of Engineers—were nowhere to be seen or heard at a hastily called community meeting at Bohemia Manor High School in Chesapeake City to discuss recently disclosed high levels of manganese in both untreated wellwater and water treated with home filtration systems. The high levels of manganese—which has been linked to neurological and brain damage in young children in multiple studies and neurological problems in older adults in some research—were recorded by the Cecil County health department in 2013 and 2014 well tests, and forwarded to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in mid-2014 for review. But the federal agency only responded, with alarm bells about the manganese levels in local well tests, a few weeks ago.

		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT Residents of three Earleville communities, who have been fighting for decades to get state and federal agencies to resolve well water pollution caused by a federal dredge spoil dumpsite, will now get free bottled water after the federal Centers for Disease Control recently raised alarm bells about high manganese levels even in homes with water treatment systems. Elevated levels of manganese in drinking water have been shown in a Canadian study to lower children’s IQ and brain function while neurological damage similar to Parkinson’s disease has been found in older adults. A community meeting was hastily scheduled for Saturday 5/28/16, at 10 a.m. at Bohemia Manor High School, on Route 213 in Chesapeake City. Attending will be representatives of the CDC, Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE), the Cecil County Health Department, and the US Army Corps of Engineers, which owns the Pearce Creek dumpsite located at the end of Pond Neck Road. Bottled water is expected to be available at the meeting for residents of the West View Shores, Sunset Pointe, and Bayview Estates communities whose wells have been polluted by the dump. There are still many unanswered questions, such as why it took [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore told a standing room only crowd of about 200 citizens Tuesday evening that her administration will not abandon the Stemmer’s Run boat ramp in Earleville and she will seek state grant funds to build a breakwater, at an unknown cost, in the adjacent Elk River to protect the ramp. It was a public about-face from the earlier presentation to the County Council by her administration that it was considering not renewing a free lease with the state that expires in December. Clyde VanDyke, the county parks and recreation director, had said he was reluctant to spend the $5,000 currently spent per year to mow grassy areas near the ramps, pier and parking lot. After an outpouring of support for continued operations of the boat ramp from local residents and boaters for one of only three public ramps operated by the county, County Council members said they had been privately assured that the ramp would remain open and the lease renewed. But the county administration did not provide a public statement to that effect, and scheduled the meeting for Tuesday evening at the Parklands community meeting room in Cecilton, after moving the site from the tiny [&#8230;]]]></description>
