Allegany County may be home to child advocacy center (Maryland)

Green joined John Sangiovanni and Karen Crosby on Thursday to receive a $78,445 grant from Gov. Robert Ehrlich on behalf of the Department of Human Resource's Office of Victim's Services and the Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention. >> rest of the story
