In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, we will be sharing Black history facts of #AnneArundel County throughout the month to highlight important yet often untold history of our county. Today we begin by highlighting George Phelps Jr., Anne Arundel's first Black law enforcement officer. After applying for jobs with county & city police & being told African Americans need not apply, he met with Sheriff Joseph Alton Jr. & was hired as a Deputy Sheriff around 1950. His first day, the office was flooded with calls claiming a Black man was impersonating an officer.

I agree with @capgaznews: "...whether it is rising sea levels or growing risks from flash flooding, the state should lead on the response to climate change rather than wait."

In #AnneArundel there is no time to wait. Impacts from climate change are here. capitalgazette.com/opinion/our-sa… In one week in July of 2018, Baltimore Washington International Airport recorded three storms with rainfall exceeding the current stormwater standards. Storms like these overwhelm stormwater systems, flood homes and businesses, erode streams, and carry sediment to the Bay.

All Maryland counties are being notified that their Health Department vaccine doses will continue to decline. The state appears to be shifting to a private provider approach combined with six large state-run vaccination centers. Of those the closest to our county will be Six Flags in Prince George’s (starting next Friday) and M&T Bank Stadium (start date not announced). Registration information has not been made available for those sites.

This #ThankYouThursday I'm thanking Don Curtian, the Director of the Environmental Health team at @AAHealth. Don and his team of inspectors do the hard work to keep people safe: responding to complaints of violations of COVID health regulations. Their inspections are done in response to complaints from customers and employees who feel unsafe and need help. When they show up, they educate.

Senator Paul Sarbanes, loving father of @RepSarbanes and longtime United States Senator from Maryland, has left us. capitalgazette.com/politics/bs-md… They say he wasn't a fan of the pomp and circumstance of his office, but he fought the good fights for the working people of Maryland.

I witnessed that two years ago when Congressman John appeared at Queenstown Park on a hot July day after the Queenstown Parade.
