Good morning, Frederick.

Frederick students used art to share their experiences with mental health—this project, led by the Transformative Arts Project and the Frederick Youth Council, gives youth a way to express themselves through photography and storytelling.

Their work is now on display at New Spires Art Gallery on West Patrick Street in downtown Frederick.

On April 28 at 6:40 p.m., Frederick Police responded to shots fired on the 1100 block of Key Parkway where two men were injured and later transported to a hospital, and the suspect Nyzeir Sampson was arrested on May 5 (after a coordinated effort with the U.S. Marshals Task Force) while the investigation continues.

Pat Hazell, a Seinfeld writer and Tonight Show veteran, will lead a comedy workshop in Frederick and present his one-man show The Wonder Bread Years at an upcoming event—details about the schedule are pending.

Thurmont Mayor John Kinnaird said the town’s $1.8 million tax base makes it hard to fund road repairs and maintenance—calling the State Highway Administration’s work on repaving North Church Street a relief after two years of delays.

He noted that small towns must make the best use of limited funds to keep roads in shape.
