Pocomoke's Neighborhood Crime Watch-
Congratulations, Corporal Fitchett! We know the Pocomoke community is in great hands!
I’m pleased to share that Corporal Fitchett will now be leading our Neighborhood Crime Watch program.
Cpl. Fitchett has the perfect personality for this role—approachable, dedicated, and passionate about keeping our community safe. He’s ready to take on this new challenge and help strengthen the partnership between our residents and law enforcement.

Worcester County's new finance officer-
(WGMD)
The Worcester County Commissioners have appointed Ondrea Starzhevskiy to serve as the new finance officer. Starzhevskiy briefly served as deputy finance officer after joining the County’s finance team in August 2025. In her elevated role, Starzhevskiy will lead the Treasurer’s Office. Starzhevskiy has 14 years of accounting expertise, including seven years as a director. Her extensive experience in public-sector finance, strategic budgeting, and intergovernmental coordination align well with the County’s financial leadership goals.
Time Machine:100 years ago this week in Pocomoke's newspaper; Plus 1960, 1947, 1895.
It was either late 1967 or early 1968 and I was a student at Pocomoke High School. One day the principal, Leon Timmons, announced that school busses were on the way to pick up all juniors and seniors. We were loaded up and transported to Snow Hill High where we met classmates from Snow Hill and Stephen Decatur. When we were all assembled in the auditorium Senator Kennedy made his appearance, spoke about nothing in particular and made his exit. we students were loaded up and returned to our respective schools. It is still a mystery as to what the purpose was and as Lincoln said, "The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here...".
Your friend,
Slim
