My Plumber Heating and Cooling prides itself on a long history of giving back to the communities that it serves.  As company founder R. Wendell Presgrave explains it, “We consider it our privilege to give something back to the communities that provide our living, and frankly, we love having the opportunity.”  My Plumber has collected many tons of food for the hun­gry, performed free or deeply discounted plumbing repairs for homeless shelters and in private homes throughout Northern Virginia and Suburban Maryland, and sponsored sports teams, school plays and many other educational activities.  The company also has a tradition of replacing, for free, the oldest, ugliest heating system that it can find each autumn.

No Tricks – Just Treats As Kids 12 And Under Celebrate Halloween A Little Early

IHOP restaurants in the DC area will celebrate Halloween a little early this year, offering kids 12 and under a free Scary Face Pancake as part of a national No Tricks – Just Treats program designed to provide kids with a safe and fun Halloween event.  The “design-your-own” Scary Face Pancake includes an oversized signature buttermilk pancake with a whipped topping mouth and strawberry nose, served with two mini OREO® cookies and candy corn on the side to allow kids to create their own Halloween hotcake. 

IHOP wants to provide trick or treaters with a safe and fun Halloween celebration that they can enjoy with friends and family as part of the company’s ongoing effort to give something back to the communities in which it operates.

The Maryland State Police responded to Gold’s Gym on Buckeystown Pike in Frederick for a report of stolen credit cards. Information on the scene indicated that credit cards and personal belongings were stolen from a locker. A short time later the victim’s credit cards were used at local businesses to make fraudulent purchases estimated at $1500.

The investigation revealed that earlier in the day two females toured the gym. During their visit, the two women were seen entering the ladies room where the lockers are located.

The women are described as follows:
Suspect #1: Black female, 5’3”, petite, wearing blue jeans, with a dark shirt.
Suspect #2: Black female, heavy set, with long hair (possibly extensions), wearing black shorts and a white shirt. She had a tattoo on the inside of her left arm.
