Some are worried how a potential outbreak could affect their kids. I was vaccinated and my husband was vaccinated and my daughter has been vaccinated. And i believe in that. And yes i am concerned. I think children should be vaccinated. As a parent, of course i worry about it. Not going to let my kids you know, be totally affected by it and not live their lives.

The piece of Music History thats fallen victim to emotions were on display in marylands state house today as parents urged lawmakers to do more to stop the spread of heroin. Anne arundel county has already said the surge in overdoses is a Public Health emergency. Diane cho is in annapolis with the new legislation aimed at those dealing with the deadly drug. She lost her son when he was 24 to a heroin overdose. It was hard. It was so terrible times. There were times when i just thought i cant go on another day. It started when he took a prescription painkiller for an injury when he was in high school. And then turned into a battle that went on for about search years until that killed him. I thought i was living through my worst stage. It wasnt until after my son died. Today, a maryland house panel held a hearing to consider a bill that would create a new criminal defense for the distribution of heroin if it contributes to death of another person making it a homicide that carries up to 30 behind bars. Torch said she didnt come here to testify in support of the proposed law. Instead, shes in favor of more immediate treatment. I dont see we can arrest our way out of this problem. The number of heroin related deaths went from 247 deaths in 2011 to 464 in 2013. What were attempting to do here to give an additional tool that would mirror what federal prosecutors have as a tool. Bottom line is we all have to get involved. During the hearing, delegate Curtis Anderson apologized for getting emotional after sharing his sister died from a cocaine addiction. He cant vote in favor of a bill like this when treatment is the answer. We should look at the addiction problem itself. Diane cho, abc 7 news. A federal judge sentenced a d. C. Man to 25 years in prison for his role in the Mclean High School students death. He was convicted of doing nothing to help the 16yearold as she overdosed on heroin he sold her.

Roofs collapsed your honor edd under the weight of snow that pounded new england in the past two weeks. In one case, the snow is like sitting on top of a piano custom made for libercace. It was encrusted in rhinestones and now a couple tons of snow. Unbelievable. Unfortunately, two more opportunities this week. Thursday night into friday and then into sunday late sunday night and monday morning, the possibility of more measurable snow from new england. Not good at all. The worst were going to get out of it a couple of flurries but very cold temperatures here. So lets get started. Beautiful time lapse, this from Washington Lee High School up the road in arlington from the rooftop. Start this morning and they were locked in the clouds like everybody else and we were watching the clearing skies work from north to south and finally late this afternoon, skies cleared over arlington and if you havent seen clearing skies over your home yet give it a little bit. You will. Because the clearing skies are all part of this pattern moving in with drier air from the north and the northwest as well. Temperature for you, 35 in haymarket. 34 in ocean city. 35 in mclean and in northern st. Marys county and the rainfall total since yesterday and into this morning, running. 2 of an inch and some of that glazed Higher Elevations and rooftops made for a mess. We saw the story on the accidents. The winds tonight will dry most of that out. Well be in good shape. Were above freezing and will be for several more hours. Later tonight, these temperatures in the mid to upper 30s will drop. In fact we expect by early tomorrow morning, the range of temperatures across the area, 23 in some of the colder outlying areas of the city and 30 degrees downtown with clear skies and somewhat lighter winds around the region. Our moisture for this morning consolidated as part of a low pressure area off shore. Good news for tonight is it looks as though this whole thing will rotate out and miss boston and new england. Theyll get some clouds. Thats about it. We cant say the same for whats coming down the pike and that is another area of low pressure with a cold front attached. There you can see a bit of a low and theres the cold front developing. That will be a feature that will move in here early on thursday morning. Right now, the cold air thats coming behind is way off the map still in canada. That will come pushing rapidly south and east and its noticeably colder but not terribly cold in pittsburgh. It will move through and get a second reinforcing push of this cold air by saturday. Heres the cold front on the futurecast. As it comes through the timing shows the front passing through about 8 00 in the morning. Often, what happens with the arctic fronts is the cold air lags behind a bit. Thats what well see. After the front goes through we may still get into the 40s for a couple of hours. But then the cold blast in the afternoon, maybe a few flurries but cold air will take up residence and then just as we try to warm into the low 30s on saturday, another bitter blast from the arctic arrives with a better chance of scattered snow showers and falling temperatures, gusty winds to go along with it. Thursday winds are kind of strong. Very active weather pattern. No major storms for us. A major change in temperatures. 28 in the morning. 41 at midday. 46 degrees for a high tomorrow afternoon. Thats sweet for the 11th of february. Next seven days for you for the dining and dancing pleasure take a look. 46, 47. Not too shabby in the next couple of days. But on friday, we get into the arctic air. Temperatures, highs only in the 20s. Feeling colder with the winds. Saturday 36 for a high but then gusty winds, falling temperatures, snow showers in the afternoon. 20 to 23 at the most for highs on sunday with wind chills in the single digits. It will stay very cold and the ground will freeze up again and we have clouds and flakes in the forecast for tuesday. How is Punxsutawney Phil doing . Hes just kind of doing one of those.

What weve seen here this morning is the board did not listen to the parents. And they certainly did not listen to the scientific evidence. And my son leaves the house at 6 10 in the morning. He walks four blocks to a bus stop in the dark. We dont have a Printing Press of money. Cash president pat oneill says is the sticking point. We need to give our high school and middle school a bit of relief and this is as good as we can do given the fiscal climate. Three School Board Members did vote against the measure approved today.
