Sandra Gallion has had a view from an emergency vehicle since she was 16 years old. She rode fire engines with the Level Volunteer Fire Department, and saw firsthand what people in emergency situations go through. She saw people at their most vulnerable and didn't know where to start, but she wanted to do something to help. About 11 years ago, her nephew died of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and Gallion's desire to do something intensified. "Because of my nephew, I felt something needed to be done," said Gallion, who works as an ambulance captain and EMT-IV tech.

After a five-month joint state-county search, a veteran Prince George's County social services official has been chosen to direct Howard County's welfare agency. Charlene R. Gallion, 50, was chosen by Howard County Executive James N. Robey and state human resources director Christopher J. McCabe. The District Heights resident had been deputy director for family investment at the Prince George's social services office since 1996 and is a 27-year veteran of state service. Gallion said she was thankful and "humbled" by her selection.

The sisters walk in to the Fort Avenue ice cream shop, white hair freshly curled and firmly in place, looking like twins despite the seven years between them. The man behind the counter knows what to get them without even asking, because they've known him since he was a little boy, and they could tell some stories on him if they wanted. Still, Earl Gallion can't resist teasing them. "I ain't got no chocolate, dumpling," he tells Elizabeth Hall, 79 - knowing what she really wants, what she always wants, is four vanilla milkshakes to go. She'll keep them in the freezer, and dip into them little by little, until she and her 86-year-old sister walk up Jackson Street for more.
