GOVERNOR'S APPOINTMENT
O'Malley Names State Energy Administration Chief
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) and his new top energy adviser pledged yesterday to embrace conservation and efficiency measures as part of a wide-ranging effort to address rising electricity costs.
O'Malley introduced Malcolm D. Woolf as the new director of the Maryland Energy Administration, saying his appointee had "spent his entire career in the trenches of energy policy."
Woolf is leaving the National Governors Association, where he is director of its natural resources committee.
The appointment came just days after a 50 percent rate increase took effect for customers of Maryland's largest electricity provider. O'Malley said energy conservation "is something that we have not really thrown ourselves into in our state" and promised to do so.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY
Suspects in 2003 Germantown Slaying Are Sought
Montgomery County detectives are searching for additional suspects in an Oct. 20, 2003, homicide in which they recently made an arrest.
Police found the victim, Grossett Harris, 49, inside his house in the 19300 block of Running Cedar Court in Germantown. He died of a gunshot wound. Harris's 1992 burgundy Dodge Caravan, apparently stolen, was recovered in the District.
About two months ago, detectives arrested Alton Charles May, 42, of Clinton in the case. He was charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and armed carjacking. Detectives believe other suspects remain at large.
