Howard County officials said Thursday that three county men died after suffering heart attacks while outside their homes during the snowstorm, and that two were shoveling snow when they collapsed.

The first incident occurred just after 9:30 a.m., when a witness called an ambulance after seeing a man collapse while shoveling. The man, 56-year-old Richard Tucker of the 1600 block of Woodstock Road in Woodstock, was transported to Howard County General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to county fire department spokesman Marc Fisher.

The second incident happened just after 10:30 a.m., in the 9700 block of Owen Brown Road in Columbia. According to emergency officials, James Wells, 57, collapsed outside his home. Wells' family and several bystanders called 911, but rescuers were unable to resuscitate him at the scene, officials said.

According to Fisher, the third incident, and the second officials confirmed was related to shoveling, involved Kenneth Frame, 61, in the 5000 block of Southern Star Terrace in Columbia. A witness called 911 after seeing Frame collapse. Frame was taken to Howard County General Hospital shortly after noon, where he was pronounced dead.

Howard County Executive Ken Ulman urged county residents to be careful.

"This is deep, heavy snow, and I implore everyone to take it easy," he said. "Please don't over-exert yourself. Clear a little at a time. Or ask a neighbor to help. We need to pitch in as a community during times like these. If you know of a neighbor who could use assistance, please offer to do a little shoveling. We can't prevent all emergencies, but we can take smart steps to be safe and help others."

Dr. Eric Aldrich, the vice president for medical affairs at Howard County General Hospital, offered tips on how to shovel safely.

"In general, there's two kinds of problems that doctors worry our patients can have [while shoveling]," he said. "One has to do with neck and back issues and the other is cardiac. On the cardiac side, if you have any history of cardiac disease, and especially if you are over 40, you shouldn't be doing any sort of physical exertion, shoveling or otherwsie, without consulting a physician."

People who have a history of shortness of breath or discomfort after walking up a flight of stairs should also get checked out, he said. And people with a family history of heart disease and stroke before the age of 60 should have a checkup, even if they feel healthy.

While you're busy shoveling yourself out from mountains of snowmountains, I say!here's a friendly reminder that not all D.C. residents are capable of shoveling snow from their sidewalks and around their property.

As you probably know, it's D.C. law for property owners (residential and commercial) to keep their sidewalks, and other public areas around their property, clear of snow within eight hours after snowfall*. However, not all District residentsparticularly senior citizens and disabled residentsare able to do that. As such, the D.C. government looks to volunteers to join the Citizen Snow Team to help shovel snow.

"We are still in need of volunteers to shovel walkways for seniors and individuals with functional and access needs," Clarence Fluker, Communications and Special Initiatives Director for Serve DC, tells DCist in an email. "There is still a high demand for volunteers in Wards 4 and 7."

If you register to help out, which you can do here, Serve DC will match you based on proximity to those in need, so you won't have to travel too far from home.

*Note: While Serve DC's website says that "the District requires property owners (residential and commercial) to clear the sidewalks surrounding their property within 24 hours after a snowfall," the Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency's website says that "D.C. law requires residents to remove snow from sidewalks and steps within eight hours of daylight after the snow stops."

CHARLOTTE, N.C.

The North Carolina attorney general is warning customers against price gouging and unfair business practices.

State laws against price gouging and unfair business practices remain in effect, Attorney General Roy Cooper reminded towing companies Friday as consumers reported high towing fees.

Bad weather isnt an excuse to jack up prices and rip off consumers, Cooper said. If you think youre being charged too much for towing, let us know about it.

Some drivers forced to abandon their cars by this weeks winter storm are now finding that the cars have been towed and they face hefty towing fees. More than a dozen consumers from across the state have called Coopers Consumer Protection Division to report being charged too much for towing. Some consumers are reporting charges of $400 or more compared to normal towing rates of closer to $100 to $150.

As the snow and ice begin to melt, some of the trees damaged during the storm may need to be removed.

But Cooper wants you to watch out for those who may take advantage of you.

He says you should make sure to use a reputable tree removal service.

To avoid issues, he advises people to make sure the company is insured, dont pay up front and dont let anyone rush you.

Consumers who believe they are being overcharged for vehicle towing or storage should file a complaint with Coopers Consumer Protection Division online at http://www.ncdoj.gov or call 1-877-5-NO-SCAM toll-free within North Carolina.

Attorney General warns against tree removal scammers

A stand of about 25 pine trees in Rainbow Point Reserve will be removed in a bid to ensure the safety of the community.

Taup District Councils Fences, Reserves and Dogs Committee made the decision to remove the trees at yesterdays meeting following safety concerns being raised by a neighbouring resident.

Council staff said the trees were alongside State Highway 1 and in poor condition. There was a lot of dead wood in their canopies and they deteriorated with every storm.

District manager of parks and open spaces John Ridd said if the trees were not removed, they could pose a risk to people and surrounding property. "A replanting programme can take place in autumn and winter once the trees are removed," he said. The cost of removal would be minimal as it would be offset by value of the wood that could be sold.

Two cypress trees that pose a risk to graves in Settlers Cemetery on Spa Road will also be removed. Mr Ridd told the committee the trees were planted after the construction of the cemetery and have no known historical significance.

"Its always a difficult balance between retaining trees and the potential hazards they can cause," he said. "In the case of Rainbow Point it is a matter of public safety and with the Settlers Cemetery trees, the cultural and historical significance of these graves is paramount."

Although the trees were healthy, as they grew they would affect the graves, Mr Ridd said.

Work on the trees was expected to be carried out within the next month.

Cup & Cake owner Jaimie Stodler in her flooded store in Queenstown.

A ''swinging'' leaving do has left some businesses in Queenstown flooded and owners facing a six-figure repair bill.

Businesses off Searle Lane were flooded about 4.15am when a sprinkler system in Nomads backpackers was broken, flooding the budget hostel, Devil Burger, Cup & Cake, Below Zero Ice Bar and Cowboys bar.

Staff were busy cleaning up this morning on Valentine's Day, one of the busiest retail days of the year in Queenstown, waiting for electricians, carpet cleaners and insurance assessors.

Senior constable Chris Blackford, of Queenstown, said a 25-year-old man and 23-year-old woman, both British, were arrested and charged with wilful damage.

They arrived back at Nomads, where they paid a discounted rate in exchange for cleaning, about 4am after their last night out in Queenstown before a scheduled flight to Australia today.

''They started to dance on tables and whilst on the tables it's alleged they swung off the sprinkler system pipe, which broke.''

The pipe was pulled down and water started gushing out, flooding the first floor, ground level and neighbouring downstairs properties causing significant damage, he said.

''The potential for a six-figure sum is not unrealistic.''

RICHMOND -- The city jail was damaged by flooding Wednesday after an inmate attempting suicide broke a fire sprinkler system inside her cell, authorities said.

Police said the 19-year-old tied a blanket to the sprinkler system in an attempt to hang herself, but the weight of her body broke the sprinkler head, causing flooding inside her cell and other jail cells. The cost of repairs has not been determined.

The woman, who was alone in her cell, was taken to the hospital on a 72-hour psychiatric hold, police said. She was listed in stable condition.

The woman was being held in the jail after she was arrested Tuesday at about 9 p.m. on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Police said she and a man assaulted another man with a knife during a disagreement on the 1700 block of Burbeck Avenue.
