At the request of the Worcester County Health Department the return to in-school classes in Worcester County public schools was extended from January 4th to January 11th. A petition to the Worcester County Board Of Education is circulating on line stating support for the January 11th date and advocating that schools remain open after that date. Aside from the pros and cons expressed by the public in this matter shouldn't the ultimate consideration be the Health Department's view of what is in the best interests of our students health?

I actually remember when local loggers used teams of mules to haul logs out of the forest to trucks to be loaded for the mill. It was in the late '50s, only 3 miles from downtown Pocomoke City, and when the loggers had gone home for the evening my neighbor and I would climb into the corral and ride the mules.
