While much of the conversation about diseases right now is focused on the coronavirus from China, the flu has been in Maryland for several weeks. In Maryland alone, there have been 16,766 confirmed cases of the flu with 15 deaths, as of Jan. 18. In Frederick County, there is at least one flu-related death. On Jan. 20, 5-year-old Lochlin DeSantis died from flu-related sepsis. Lochlin was a happy, giving child who was always running and always had a smile on his face.

At the animal shelter at Frederick County Animal Control, a fair number of cages are empty. It is surprising considering how many articles talk about pets coming to shelters after people decide they no longer want the Christmas puppy or kitten.

Shea spoke with Mongilio about adopting an animal and gave her a tour of the shelter.

For comic book store owners, the popularity of Marvel Studios films and DC Comics films and television shows has not necessarily translated into more sales. Instead, the two comic book stores in Frederick County have found new ways to encourage customers to come into their stores. Business reporter Erika Riley joined producer Heather Mongilio in the studio to talk about her story. For Riley, looking at the comic book industry is a little personal since she grew up with parents who own a comic book store. Local comic book store owners John Frazier, of Brainstorm Comics & Gaming, and Jon Cohen, of Beyond Comics, joined Mongilio individually in the studio to talk about their different ways of encouraging customers to come into their stores. Then city editor Allen Etzler joins Mongilio to preview the rest of the week, including a big announcement for the Frederick County Board of Education. Then, food and education reporter Katryna Perera comes to the studio to talk about her latest food review.

The Maryland legislative session kicks off Wednesday. Each year, delegates and senators from jurisdictions throughout Maryland introduce bills that could potentially become law. Already, the Maryland General Assembly members have pre-filed some bills, including ones on contraceptives, the Public Information Act, and definitions of crimes, to name a few. To discuss the upcoming session, The Frederick News-Post's county and statehouse reporter, Steve Bohnel, and city editor Allen Etzler joined producer Heather Mongilio in the studio.

Goodbye, 2019. Hello, 2020. To usher in 2020, producer Heather Mongilio and city editor Allen Etzler look back on the top stories of 2019 and the big themes of the last decade. It was a busy year for Frederick with the city of Frederick and the county facing growing pains, two high-profile killings, a pediatrician charged with many sexual offenses, including 98 additional counts announced Monday. There were flood damage repairs, a conman, and multiple high school football champions. Then Etzler talks about the future of The News-Post and what stories reporters will be working on in the coming year. Food and education reporter Katryna Perera then joins Mongilio for her weekly restaurant review.

Star Wars wrapped up its third trilogy last week with "Rise of Skywalker." The film had mixed reviews, but for local super fan Rob Cross, it was a great ending to a movie series he first started as a child. Cross is part of the 501st Legion Old Line Garrison, where he cosplays as Darth Vader. The legion is a nonprofit that sends Star Wars villains to hospitals and other events to greet people and brighten their mood.

Then business reporter Erika Riley joins Mongilio to talk about financial troubles facing marijuana businesses because of banking restrictions. To cap the episode off, city editor Allen Etzler discusses what stories Uncut missed and what is to come this week.

Recycling. It's something many Frederick County residents do. As County Councilman Phil Dacey, who joined Frederick Uncut producer Heather Mongilio, said, recycling has been ingrained in people as the right thing to do. But recycling is costing the county around $6 million this year. And because of how recycled materials are sold on the market, the county is not recouping the money. County government reporter Steve Bohnel joined Mongilio to talk about recycling in Frederick County, as well as how the different council members, including Dacey, are reacting. He also explains some of the options being discussed by the county government. Later, city editor Allen Etzler joins Mongilio to recap the last week and look forward to news to come this week. Then, food and education reporter Katryna Perera comes into the studio to talk about her latest food review.

Beer and trivia. Music with dinner. Yoga and a cocktail. It will now be easier for breweries, distilleries and restaurants under 10,000 square feet to provide entertainment. The City of Frederick Board of Alderman unanimously approved an ordinance that would allow entertainment as long as it was inside, at least 500 feet away from residential properties — if not in a few specific zones — and was between a set time period, depending on the day. Local establishment owners hailed the passing of the ordinance as a way of staying competitive with the Baltimore and D.C. markets. For musicians, especially, the ordinance means more venues in a city that lost three in a span of a couple months. Business reporter Erika Riley spoke with Andrew Bromhal, of Silent Old Mtns., about the ordinance, as well as a bartender at Olde Mother, where the band was playing. Then editor Allen Etzler joins producer Heather Mongilio for a quick recap of the rest of the week in news.

For students, snow days can be a blessing. After all, there is a reason there are many superstitions aimed at making it snow enough for school to be canceled.  But the Frederick County Board of Education might make a change to snow days that makes them less fun for students.  The board recently discussed the idea of virtual classes on snow days, where students have assignments that can be completed while at home.  There are complications and questions unanswered about how virtual classes would work that the board will consider before making a decision.  Education and food reporter Katryna Perera joins producer Heather Mongilio to talk about the possible schedule for next school year overall. Then the two discuss some of the benefits and challenges virtual classes would present.  City editor Allen Etzler, who attended Frederick County Public Schools, joins Mongilio later to also discuss the classes.  Etzler also offers a look ahead to some of the stories in The Frederick News-Post.  Finally, Perera joins Mongilio once again, this time to discuss the different food, often pork, a lot of pork, that she tried while vacationing in the Philippines. 

The past few years have been rough on farmers. Changing economics, weather and other factors have caused family-run farms — especially those in the dairy industry, — to sell land or the complete farm to make ends meet. Even in Frederick County, the number of dairy farms are dwindling. In 1950, there were 1,369. As of Aug. 7, there were 60, according to the story reported by Kate Masters and Allen Etzler. Masters and Etzler spoke to the next generation of farmers. The ones who are taking over the farms left in the county.

And finally, education and new food reporter Katryna Perera stops by to talk about a restaurant she described as an “Indian Chipotle”.

Depending on whom you ask, the nine Supreme Court justices dealt Maryland a blow Thursday when they decided that the federal court did not have jurisdiction over gerrymandering. The Supreme Court decided Thursday, in a 5-4 vote, that they could not decide if the map of the 6th Congressional District in Maryland or a map in North Carolina was unfairly drawn to give an advantage to one political party over the other. Walter Olson, a Frederick County resident who served as co-chair of Gov. Larry Hogan’s Redistricting Reform Commission, was in Washington, D.C., for the decision and called it “disappointing.” “I’m going to say that we are all losers because a fairer system benefits both parties,” Olson said. Olson spoke with Frederick Uncut producers Heather Mongilio and Allen Etzler about the Supreme Court’s decision and what it means for the state. “If it weren’t for the states behaving so badly on this, we wouldn’t be here talking about remedies,” Olson said. “So really, even though Congress is where I would like to point, the real ultimate failing is that of state legislatures who are being self-serving, both when they draw their own legislative districts, as plain a conflict of interest as they can be stepping into, and also when they devise districts in the U.S. House of Representatives in order to pursue politics as they do.” Later in the episode, Etzler and Mongilio speak with Paul Milton, the new editor of The Frederick News-Post. Milton reflects on the importance of journalism and the role of community newspapers. Then, features editor Mallory Panuska joins the producers to talk about the upcoming issue of 72 Hours, including a preview of an article by county government reporter Steve Bohnel on some of the local dive bars.

Hurricane Florence didn't deliver the damage to Frederick County that forecasts originally predicted, but Special Operations Battalion Chief David Barnes and his crew still stood at the ready. Barnes, who oversees the county's swift water rescue operation, joined podcast host Colin McGuire and city editor Allen Etzler to explain how he got into special operations in the fire and rescue service, and how his units prepare for hurricanes or heavy rainfall. The large amount of rainfall this year has forced the county to run more swift water rescue calls in 2018 than in recent years, Barnes said. The county is projected to run well over 100 swift water rescue calls by the end of the year — up from the 70-80 that would occur in a typical year, according to Barnes. Barnes explained the challenges in completing swift water rescue operations during flooding conditions on roads as well as water rescues along the river.
