A Strong Showing From The Pocomoke Community To Stand Up To Gun Violence | Latest News | wboc.com

6/10/25 - 

Mayor Nock (Facebook):

Thank You, Pocomoke. Let’s Do This.

Tonight, over 100 people showed up for our Emergency Public Safety Meeting — and let me just say, Pocomoke showed up strong.

I was determined not to leave the Middle School without real, actionable solutions. And thanks to the power of community, we’re moving forward with purpose and unity:

- Three new surveillance cameras will be installed in key areas across town.

- More foot patrols will be added in neighborhoods where they’re needed most.

- Our Neighborhood Watch program is officially coming back.

-  A Youth Task Force is launching to give our young people not just a seat at the table — but a mission.

- The City and Pocomoke High School will restart the Youth Council to amplify student leadership and civic engagement.

- Our Pocomoke Arts Commission gained over 10 new volunteers ready to inspire creativity and positive expression.

- And in just one evening, we raised $35,000 toward building a community center — because safe spaces for our neighbors matter.

To every resident, partner, and supporter who came out, asked questions, and offered solutions — thank you. This is how change begins. Shoulder to shoulder. One step at a time.

We’ve got work to do, but together, we’ve got everything we need to do it.

Let’s go, PO.

Somerset mosquito spraying-

 

(WMDT)

SOMERSET CO., Md. – Several areas in Somerset County will soon be treated by an aircraft to reduce the adult mosquito population.

Starting during the evening hours of June 9th, the areas and communities of Champ, Chance, Dames Quarter, Deal Island, Oriole, St. Stephens, and Wenona will be treated. Treatment is weather permitting.

Officials say it is not necessary for people, pets, or livestock to leave the area to be treated. The insecticide is Trumpet, a formulation containing naled and applied at less than 1.0 fluid ounce per acre.

(Ouch!) Higher energy bills-

 

Discussions about rising energy costs may have dominated this past Maryland General Assembly session. But even higher bills are on the way.

Beginning June 1, elevated rates took effect for utilities across Maryland, from Baltimore Gas & Electric to Delmarva Power and Pepco. The reasons go back to economics class: low supply and high demand. But who is to blame depends on who you ask.
