James Wright Passes Away

    James R. Wright was born in Jackson, Michigan on March 3, 1931, to mother, Margaret Allen and father, Leo Baughman. James was named Edwin Dale Allen at birth but was adopted on April 4, 1931 by Jesse Mae Ransom, born in Ohio and James Madell Wright, born in Tennessee. His birth mother died July 5, 1951 and was buried at Hillcrest Cemetery. His adoptive father was in the Navy during World War I and buried in Arlington National Cemetery. James R. Wright died of pneumonia at the age of 88, on September 21, 2019, in San Diego, with his son, Russell, by his side. He will be buried at a future date at Arlington National Cemetery with a life celebration to follow. 
    During his youth, the family spent time in Hillside, Md. where James enjoyed visiting the White House to pet President Roosevelt's Scottish Terrier through the fence. In 1951, he married Rose Giove in Washington, D.C. He joined the Air Force, moved to Texas, and lived off base while serving country and bride. He graduated from American University and raised his family in Davidsonville, Md. He worked at Nationwide as a Claims Adjuster and retired in 1983 from the Government Printing Office as Safety Officer. He worked weekends taking out stumps and hosting friends with pig roasts and pool parties. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias, Elks Club, American Legion, proud veteran and an accomplished member of the 32nd, Freemason and Shriner. He lived in Bradenton and Venice, Florida, where he resided happily and comfortably for longer than the years he worked. 
    He is survived by his loving companion, Mary Wildes, his son, Russell A. Wright, and daughter in law, Yuko, of San Diego, daughter, Melanie A. Wright, of Edgewater, two grandsons, James M. Wright, Zachary T. Bennett and mother and grandmother, Rose Giove, from Westminster. 
    He savored life as father, grandpa and friend. He was a pilot, diver, gourmet and RV enthusiast, traveler and Forbes disciple. He was best of brain and brawn, an economist and life of the party. He enjoyed working hard and fixing things. He was gruff and grime and knew every inch of his land. Summer evenings were spent socially, like clockwork,with cocktails by the pool, neighbors, horses and dogs. My brother and I got the best of him for 88 years. His devotion was rock solid. He was old school swagger, magnet and flare, told a mean joke and always prepared. For decades, he listened with affection and a lopsided grin. Whether on the phone or in person, his parting words were, "Remember, I love you."

ARNOLD, MD – Anne Arundel Community College sophomore center Sarah Healy has been named the NJCAA Division III Women's Basketball Player of the Week, it was announced Wednesday. Healy averaged 21.7 points and 16 rebounds per game in three Riverhawks wins last week.

Large Davidsonville House Fire

DAVIDSONVILLE, MD — It took almost 90 firefighters more than an hour to contain a house fire in Davidsonville Tuesday night. The fire broke out just after 7:30 p.m. Nov. 5 at 2001 Rosetta Way. The fire engulfing the 15,000-square-foot two-story single-family home proved difficult to battle, because the home isn't located near public water and it is a sizable home, the Anne Arundel County Fire Department reported. Officials had to call in a water supply task force and trigger a second alarm.

Three additional fire departments responded to the fire, which officials believe started at the back of the home toward the garage area. The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Anne Arundel County Fire and Explosives Investigation Unit. Five occupants of the home have been displaced and there were no injuries.


Here is an update from the AACoFD
Two Alarm House Fire - November 5, 2019
Rosetta Way, Davidsonville, MD

Firefighters responded to multiple 9-1-1 calls reporting fire from the back of the house at 2001 Rosetta Way. First arriving firefighters found heavy fire conditions from the garage area on the side of the large (15,000 square feet), two-story single-family dwelling.

Due to the amount of the structure involved in fire, the size of the home, and it is located in an area without public water, firefighters called for a Water Supply Taskforce and a second alarm. Eighty-eight firefighters from several jurisdictions brought the fire under control in a little over an hour (70 minutes).

The cause of the fire is under investigation by members of the Anne Arundel County Fire and Explosives Investigation Unit. Smoke alarms were present and activated, providing occupants the time to escape without injury. Five occupants of the home have been displaced.

Writer's note - There were no injuries, though initially there was a report of one person trapped. All photos are courtesy of Mike Hugg via AACoFD

Davidsonville Goat On The Run

Together, with the help of two couples, a D.C. police officer and a young man and woman, a four-legged farm animal was returned to his rightful home.

It all started on Saturday afternoon when Sandra Harris of Davidsonville noticed her fiancé had not made it home yet, so she called him. When he picked up, Jim Anderson was in a state of panic after he spotted a goat on Rutland Road, Harris said.

“I drove by the farm where there is always sheep and goats, and I saw (a goat) was on the wrong side of the fence,” Jim said. “I was frantically trying to get someone on the phone, and the hunt was on.”

Auto Injury At Nudist Resort

DAVIDSONVILLE, Md. (AP) — A man has been injured in a golf cart crash at a nudist resort in Maryland.

Anne Arundel County fire spokesman Erik Kornmeyer tells The Capital that the man suffered serious injuries and was taken by ambulance to a trauma center in Baltimore. He says the injuries weren’t considered life threatening.

He says the man crashed into a tree Saturday afternoon, causing the cart to overturn. The man wasn’t wearing a helmet at the time. Kornmeyer says the man then called 911 from a building at the Maryland Health Society, where he was either visiting or staying.

Further details about the nature of the crash and the severity of the man’s injuries weren’t immediately available.
