From major biotech and life science employers in the area. That its becoming increasingly harder to attract businesses and employees to Frederick County when we have this perception that were not welcoming. The impression was very much exclusivity and youre not welcome here. Reporter proponents like Republican Council member billy shreeve said the bill was enacted in 2012 to save the county money on translators and interpreters, but they can still be provided. Theres 11 exceptions to the law that allow the use of other languages for things as broad as trade and commerce. I think its ridiculous. The people that are here that dont speak english, im a language teacher. They want to learn english. I think its silly. This is america. Its a melting pot. I think it should be totally the official language. Its important to preserve our heritage. English should be the main language. We have to respect that, but we have to welcome all languages. Reporter now tonight is just a public hearing. The county council will vote on this repeal on august 18th. In frederick, stephanie ramirez, wusa9 news. Now the measure itself was enacted in 2012 by the all republican county board at the time. The Current County council is surprised of four republicans and three democrats. Weve got a few big storms south of the d. C. Metro area and topper is tracking them with live doppler 9000. So, top, tell us where they are now and what it could all mean for the nats game. We are very optimistic the nats game is going to be okay. All the storms are still south and they should stay south. Its going to be toasty at the nats game and still humid. The real comfortable air doesnt move in until late tonight. Heres the radar over the last hour. These are the only storms we can find. Theyre now in Prince Georges County and theyve weakened a little bit. There are a few storms to the northwest of cumberland. Thats with the cold front itself. I think even those will fall apart the next couple of hours. Well zoom into this 1 little storm, a little bit of red and now it disappears. Now its a light shower. Going down 301 you will have some wet roads, but the good news is most folks will actually have a dry commute home. This is going to listen its way off to the south and east, maybe head toward calvert county. In term of temperatures its toasty but not as hot as yesterday, 91 downtown, but factor in the humidity, it feels like its 99. So the cool air is still back to the north and west. Well talk about when the cool, more comfortable air comes in and well look ahead to the weekend. Thank you, top. Well, the man indicted in the murders of the young lyon sisters allegedly told the cops he thought theyd been abducted, raped and burned. New Court Documents just unsealed suggest a whole lot of people who knew about it are still refusing to cooperate with the police. Bruce leshan is live in our newsroom with a search warrant that was just released today, right, bruce . Thats right, derek. One version of this warrant calls a cousin of lloyd welch a possible participant in the disposal of the bodies of the little girls. Another just calls her a witness, but either way police are convinced that connie akers knows a lot more than she is saying. Almost 40 years after the 10 and 12yearolds katherine and sheila lyon disappeared from Wheaton Plaza investigators served a search warrant on connie akers home in salem, virginia, looking for pictures from Taylor Mountain where are convinced her cousin lloyd welch burned the girls bodies in a blaze that lasted for days and had the odor of a cremation. Police say akers has refused to tell them all she knows and her husband says she is not speaking to reporters either. Shes home, but she dont want to talk to the media. Reporter when Police Identified welch as a person of interest, detectives say akers tried and failed to contact him in a delaware prison where he was doing time for sexually abusing another child. She allegedly admitted welch had tried to convince her in 1975 to wash a duffel bag filled with bloody clothes. In one version of the warrant investigators say that based on numerous interviews and her own admissions they believe connie akers was a participant or witness in the disappearance and disposal of the bodies of the lyon sisters. They hope the search of her home would find photos or letters that would finally offer justice to the girls still grieving parents. Now the return on that warrant that was just unsealed today said detectives seized cell phones, letters and laptops, but we still do not know if they found anything incriminating in them. Live in the newsroom bruce leshan, wusa9. Thank you, bruce. And connie akers husband says she was just a teenager herself when the girls disappeared. One relative of lloyd welch has already been indicted for perjury and prosecutors suggest more indictments may be coming. Flags at the white house were abruptly lowered to half staff today and it comes after angry criticism of the president for failing to honor the Service Members killed in last weeks terror linked attack in chattanooga. President obama issued a proclamation call aring for flags to calling for flags to fly at half staff at july 25th, but the proclamation came only after House Speaker john boehner ordered flags lowered to half staff this morning. It makes sense to me that the flag would be at half mast for the victims of chattanooga. I think thats right. It should be. Thats what our country stands for is to honor those who help fight for our country. Helps bring us together and helps us remember we need to support and help one another. Five Service Members were killed and two others including a Police Officer were wounded in the chattanooga attack. In response to the chattanooga shooting some states are now allowing military members to carry weapons at recruitment centers. This afternoon Virginia GovernorTerry Mcauliffe told wusa9 hes beefing up Police Patrols at those recruiting centers, but as of right now he is not ordering the National Guard to be armed. He also said he made that decision after consulting with the head of the virginia National Guard. Were going to do everything we can the second he needs something. Were going to be there for him, but he has requested of me today that we dont arm our National Guard members. We spoke with the governor this afternoon in fairfax where he was attending a ceremony with the Virginia Department of veterans services. Mcauliffe praised the Virginia Program for helping 10,000 vets find jobs. A florida gun shop owner has declared his business a muslim free zone after last weeks shooting rampage in tennessee and now the council on American Islamic relations is asking the Justice Department to investigate that Stores Declaration as a possible civil rights violation. Andy halanan posted a video to his gun shops Facebook Page explaining why he will not sell firearms to muslims. Were in battle, patriots, but not with islamic extremism. Were also in battle against extreme Political Correctness that threatens our lives because if we cant call evil evil for fear of offending people, then we cant really defeat our enemies. Its unclear how he plans to enforce his prohibition to muslims. He says he does not man to ask his patron plan to ask his patrons about their religious affiliation. A man busted for stealing catalytic converters from cars parked in garages. He had six catalytic converters, a carjack and saw when his car was searched during a recent traffic stop. Investigators say they matched some of the stolen parts to cars that were damaged at the Metro Huntington station. Thieves will steal those catalytic converters and sell them for hundreds of dollars because they contain platinum.

Check out what an inspector found in a Fairfax County storm drain. That is a korean war era bazooka shell found on glenn book road near Prince William drive and an investigation determined it was inert. It still is not clear how it ended up in the storm drain. A seattle highway now back open again after crews had to battle a huge brushfire for hours. Crews used water canons to douse the homes. Homes upwind had been ordered to evacuate and theres no word on when theyll be allowed back. We had deputy goes door to door. They evacuated all the homes. Firefighters were able to get on the scene and protect all those homes and start engaging the fire to try to get it put out.

Andrea roane shares new information about the condition that experts say will affect more than 28 Million People in the next 30 years. Reporter alzheimers patients are estimated to cost nearly 25 of all healthcare spending by the year 2040. The data was made public at the alzheimers Associations International conference here in washington d. C. This is actually just looking at the boomer population because we know the boomer population is almost 80 million today and theyre moving through the age of highest risk. Reporter new treatment that can delay the onset of alzheimers by just five years could cut the number of people who have the disease by 42 . That would save 220 billion in medicare costs. What that means is really that theres an urgency to find an answer, not only an early therapeutic but an early diagnostic for this disease. Reporter 2 3 of americans with alzheimers are women. New Research Sheds Light on the differences between men and women with the condition. Amy osler was diagnosed with early onset alzheimers at age 50. Theres a part thats very lonely. Theres a part that i cant share because i dont know how to share. Postoperatively after surgery both men and women decline, but women decline twice as fast as men do. Reporter andrea roane, wusa9. The Alzheimers Association is looking into starting a Grant Program for researchers to study why dementia affects women differently than men. A bus driver in massachusetts decided to give his passengers a bit of a treat. His name is john loewen and he was driving his regular route when he spotted a neighborhood Lemonade Stand. So he asked the folks on board would you mind if we take a brief stop . Everybody said it was a great idea. So he pulled over and bought all seven passengers a lemonade. The girls running the stand were thrilled. Who doesnt like a little extra business . It only cost 50 cents and he bought seven of them and he gave us 10 bucks, so hes awesome. I gave them a little bit of a tip, also, but still it was the cheapest least expensive round ive ever sprung for. The passengers said the bus drivers generosity and kindness made their day. Always watching always tracking, wusa9s first alert weather, d. C. s most accurate. This is a Lemonade Stand kind of day here, too. Yes, it was and even though we have more comfortable rare rolling in the rest of the week is still lemonade weather if you have such a desire to do that, set up a little stand. Lets talk about the 3degree guarantee. We felt pretty good today. We had more clouds, so we didnt have to go 97 or 98. We went 92. How did we do . Well talk about that tonight at 11 00. Were on a bit of a roll if we actually hit it. The good news is its still 91. Youre in what my father would have called youre in position. Im in position. The dew point has gone up 73. I point that out because its such a great way to know if the air is comfortable or not. When the dew point is in the 70s, its miserable. Check this outer tomorrow night. Youll out tomorrow night. Youll be in the mid50s. Heres doppler radar. Its pretty darn quiet, a couple showers the last hour moved south of town south of the ballpark and that shower itself is now just kind of a weak little storm sitting in portions of Anne Arundel County and its moving across the bay. So its right through shady shade right now and just to the north of diehl, a little bit of orange in there, moderate rain, but its not going to be a big factor. So looks like the isolated storm is possible until about 8 00 and then thats it. The cold front itself is still to the north and west of us, but the nats game should be okay. Turning cooler after midnight and then low humidity comes in and sets camp for the rest of the week wednesday, thursday and friday. So 9 30, 10 00 tonight you can walk the dog. Were back in the 70s, okay . Generally clear skies, some showers still firing up across the bay into the delmarva, but no worries here. Now by 6 00 in the burbs were in the 60s to start. Thats great. 63 in gaithersburg, 65 in leesburg, even downtown 72 and then by 9 00 we crawl back in the 70s, but comfortable, 70 gaithersburg, 71 in bowie, maybe 72 in leesburg, 71 in manassas. Thats nice. By 1 00 84 downtown, low 80s in the suburbs but again not humid and by 5 00, so essentially 24 hours from now we are in the upper 80s downtown and mid to upper 80s in the suburbs. By 8 00 tomorrow we fall back in the 70s pretty quickly. In fact, the sun is just not even set and were falling back in the 70s, only 83 downtown tomorrow. So were looking at really a really nice night tomorrow. So well keep a few thunderstorms in early, low temperatures 65 to 72, but theyre few and far between and tomorrow were great, sunny, pleasant, 65 to 85. I keep repeating this. Dry air masses warm up very quickly. So its going to warm up fast, but its going to stay comfortable. Thats the key. By afternoon mostly sunny, just warm not humid, high temperatures in the upper 80s. So on the day planner 71 at 7 00, 76 by 9 00, around 80 by 11 00 and mid80s by 1 00. Now the next three days i mean still very nice on thursday, a pair of 88s tomorrow and thursday and then on friday were looking at temperatures around 90 but still not humid. Saturday 92, a bit hot, yes, not crazy humid yet, though. Sunday is a bit more humid, 93 and mid90s on monday and tuesday with isolated storms. Tomorrows nats game by the way is a noon game and that should be just about picture perfect. Had the allstar break now. We like what were seeing. Like what were seeing. Nats got a little offense going last night against the mets. Now theyre going to try to make it two in a row, of course. Its going to be interesting because theyre relying on the arm of a young rookie to seriously . Youre not at all concerned . About what now . Oh, i dont know. The apocalypse . Were fine. I bundled renters with my Car Insurance through progressive for just six bucks more a month. Word. Theres looters running wild out there. Covered for theft. Okay. Thats a tidal wave of fire. Covered for fire. What, what . All right. Fine. Im gonna get something to eat. The boys kind of a drama queen. Just wait. Wheres my burrito . [ chuckles ] worst apocalypse ever. Protecting you till the end. Now, thats progressive. Sfx music throughout sfx crowd cheering sfx crowd booing sfx crowd chanting sfx crowd cheering music stops sc johnson a family company. Now wusa9 game on sports with Kristen Berset brought to you by xfinity. Stephen strasburg is on the disabled list, so the nats have called up joe ross to start tonight against the new york mets. Ross had an impressive three starts last month, if you remember, and the nats, well, they expect much of the same tonight, but heres something that could calm his nerves a little bit. The incredible nats defense lately, last night this catch by Michael Taylor brought two runs in the 5th. Bryce harper got a great jump to snag this ball in right field in the 8th inning and catcher jose lobaton with concentration. Heres harp other how this good defense helps the guy on the mound. You just go out there and try to make all the plays you can and try to do things you can for your pitcher to really keep him in the game and keep him fired up and i think the team, we have a great defensive team and well make the plays. Its a lot of fun. A quick reminder we are your nats local affiliate, of course. Next sunday well have more nats on 9. Bryce harper versus Andrew Mccutchen and the pirates, two playoff caliber teams, at 1 30. We are inching closer to the start of nfl training camp. The redskins first practice is next thursday. Thats what im talking about. Our first chance to see a lot of players in action, time to get excited and many of the pundits as were not really that surprised dont expect much from robert griffin, iii. In a recently released espn ranking over 35 coaches and evaluators were asked to rank the leagues quarterbacks and rg3 is near the bottom, 28th out of 32. The pollsters are anonymous, but one nfl offensive coach gave his reasoning saying, rg3 is done. He cites his injuries and lack of humility as barriers for his success. Well see what he can do this season. Goalie Braydon Holtby has been a key piece to the capitals success the last five seasons. Last year he set franchise records for games played, wins, shutouts and now hes saying show me the money. Holtby and the caps are in arbitration. Holtby made 1. 5 million last year. Caps offered him a new deal worth over five, but holtby wants more. His camp asked 8 million. Based on history arbitrators usually find a middle ground. This was supposed to be a debut for Serena Williams with the washington kastles. It would have been the first time for her to play the team, but an elbow injury forced her to sit out. Serena is in the middle of a grand slam quest. Shes won the first three majors of the year. The kastles are moving on, though. Tonight at the smith center they hit the court in a first place battle with boston. As for serena, i asked coach Murphy Jensen if we could possibly see her later in the season. Really its front office situation in the World Team Tennis league issue where theyre going to have to, you know, speak with serenas agent, figure out what we can do. We love having her on this team. Of course, you do. Of course. It would have been great to have serena here, but the grand slam, shes going for history. Thats what im saying. I cant imagine that she would even think of shes got to be perfectly healthy. She can come back again. Thats it for us.
