Two Maryland soldiers, including a Frostburg State University graduate who dreamed of being a doctor, died a day apart last week in the Middle East, the Department of Defense announced yesterday. Army 1st Lt. Gwilym J. Newman, 24, a former Waldorf resident, was killed Thursday in Tarmiyah, Iraq, by small arms fire while on dismounted patrol, a military statement said.

A 23-year-old Waldorf man pleaded guilty in federal court yesterday to conspiracy to set fire to 35 homes under construction in an upscale Charles County development, becoming the last of five men to be convicted in what authorities called the largest residential arson in state history. Roy T. McCann pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit arson in connection with the fires in the Hunters Brooke development in December 2004. He also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute the drug Ecstasy in the months leading up to the arson.

Howard County police have charged a 21-year-old Waldorf man in last month's theft of a $1,600 purebred Pomeranian puppy from a pet store inside The Mall in Columbia, authorities announced yesterday. Police still are investigating whether Eric Wilson Donovan played a role in the original theft from the Today's Pet store, or only received the dog after it was stolen. According to police, Donovan gave the puppy as a gift to a 19-year-old Waldorf woman, whose father suspected that the puppy had been stolen after his sister gave him a news article about the dognapping.

A former National Security Agency employee wept as a federal jury found him guilty yesterday of illegally storing classified papers at his home after he left the nation's largest intelligence agency. The conviction could result in a prison sentence of 15 years. Kenneth W. Ford Jr., 34, of Waldorf was charged last year in U.S. District Court with possessing classified NSA material and making a false statement on a job application for a government contractor. Jury deliberations started late Wednesday after a trial that lasted more than two weeks in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt.

Waldorf -- Even defending state champions get a little nervous when they reach the state volleyball tournament. Top-ranked Centennial did last night at North Point High School, but the jitters didn't last long for the Eagles. The Eagles shook their nerves near the end of the first game, a 25-22 victory over North Carroll, and went on to sweep the Panthers in three games, the last two by 25-16, 25-11. Strong hitting, featuring four Eagles with seven or more kills each, and the typical Centennial counterattack on defense returned the Eagles to the Class 3A state final at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow vs. Huntingtown at Ritchie Coliseum in College Park.

WALDORF -- Christopher Mader slowed his low-slung silver sports car in front of the local elementary school, not far from the giant water tower, to make the turn into the suburban housing development where he lived with his parents and younger brother. It was just before 3 a.m. -- a fairly typical and quiet commute time when you're a bartender who closes the place down. Mader, 23, didn't make it home that morning. Shot dead with a single bullet that sailed through his open window, he was killed instantly, before his car veered into a pole and an embankment with his foot still on the pedal.

A security guard charged with arson at an upscale Charles County housing development was arrested after cell phone records placed him near the scene - not home in bed as he initially told authorities - when the fires were set, according to court documents released yesterday. Waldorf resident Aaron L. Speed also gave investigators a tantalizing account of how someone might have sparked the blaze - one that was eerily close to what authorities believe occurred. He described someone pouring an accelerant and lighting it with a hand-held propane torch.
