Morning  News  For: FEB 6,2012        Robocalls trial set to begin for Ehrlich operative          A political operative accused of using robocalls to suppress black voter turnout during the 2010 gubernatorial election will be back in court this week.          The trial for Julius Henson, a campaign consultant for former Republican Gov.   Robert Ehrlich in his rematch with Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley, is scheduled to begin Monday in Baltimore Circuit Court.          The calls told supporters of O'Malley and President Barack Obama to relax because they had won.   Henson has said he did not believe the calls were illegal and weren't meant to suppress the vote.          Henson's trial was postponed in November after a judge recused himself because he was appointed by O'Malley.   Ehrlich aide Paul Schurick was tried separately in the same case and was found guilty of all four counts he faced.  ( )        Del. Guard chief sees minimal cuts to Air Guard          When Air Force officials cut almost 10,000 active, National Guard and Reserve airmen next year, the Delaware Air National Guard should fare better than other units around the country, according to the state's Guard chief.          The News Journal of Wilmington reports that Maj.   Gen.   Frank Vavala said this weekend he is confident that the Delaware Air Guard won't lose any of its eight C-130 aircraft as part of the cuts.   That should mean the reduction at the 1,000-member base near New Castle, home to the Guard's 166th Airlift Wing, will not be severe.          The Pentagon has not given the Guard any specific numbers about the cuts, he said.          The Air Force says the cuts are part of a strategy to downsize and shift capabilities around the country.  ( )        Md. Lt. Gov. to address childhood dental care          Lt.   Gov.   Anthony Brown says more needs to be done to ensure Maryland children receive proper dental care.          Brown will speak about expanded access to oral healthcare for kids Monday at an event to recognize National Children's Dental Health Month.          He will also use the event to remember Deamonte Driver, a 12-year-old boy from Prince George's County who died five years ago after bacteria that caused a toothache infected his brain.          Since Deamonte's death, several programs have been launched in Maryland to improve access to dental health for children, but Brown said more can be done to improve services and oral health awareness.          Following the event, Brown will participate in a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Fortis College Dental Clinic in Landover.  ( ) © February 6, 2012 - All Rights Reserved - Copyrighted Material.
