tion to the voters. Valerie Blackston, Claud Hanes and Chris Ceretto cast the “no” votes. If voters approve, the tax would amount to 1.5 percent on future grow operations. Council will have to adopt an ordinance to outline the rules for grow operations later — if voters approve the tax question — much as councilors did when voters approved the sale of medical and retail marijuana two years ago.

A love of dogs, and especially highly trained police dogs, led a Frederick nine-year-old to raise $1,007 for the Frederick Police and K-9 officer Dobby and his handler. “I want to help the police and their dogs because they work hard to keep the community safe, and I want to help repay them,” Morgan said. On August 23, with her parents and grandparents, Morgan delivered the check to K-9 Dobby and his handler, Officer Ian Austin. Dobby and Morgan developed a friendship, and she learned about his training and his favorite toy, a ball on a rope. Officer K-9 Dobby and Officer Austin have been certified with the K-9 unit for one year. Austin started with the Frederick Police Department two years ago and was selected last year to restart the K-9 SEE DOBBY, P20
