"Things are looking good" for former Shorebird Holliday.

Jackson Holliday is back doing Jackson Holliday things.

It took only two games, but the Orioles' top prospect has shaken off his disappointing first stint in the majors and resumed his mashing of minor league pitching.  Holliday is hitting .289 with a home run and three doubles over his past twelve games for Triple-A Norfolk.  He's walked (15) more than he's struck out (12) showing the kind of production that prompted the Orioles to call up the 20-year-old in the first place.

"He's doing exactly what we're asking him to do," Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias told the Baltimore Sun on Monday.  "He's putting the work in.  He's been a very encouraging performer in the time he's been back down there, and I think things are trending in a really good direction.  He's doing a great job of putting in a lot of work, and he's had good results to show for it already.  Things are looking good." 

Congratulations Wor-WIC dean's list students!

So why are candidates for delegate to Democrat National Convention required to list whether they are male or female? Does it matter? Are there quotas for X number of males and X number of females? Are they required to list their race, as well? I thought we were beyond all this crap.

Monday school incident- Snow Hill

Incident at Snow Hill High School

This afternoon, on May 13, 2024, during dismissal at Snow Hill High School, an isolated fight took place between two students.  After the fight broke up, school administration began to investigate the incident.  At that time, one of the students involved became disorderly and the school resource deputy was called to assist.  Upon the arrival of the deputy the student was actively assaulting an administrator.  As the deputy intervened, the deputy was also assaulted before the student was taken into custody.  This will be forwarded to the Department of Juvenile Services for the appropriate action.

As this is an active investigation and to protect the identities of those involved there will be no further information released.
