10 years later and people running for office are still trying
to do the same thing. Has anyone really accomplished
anything? Has anything changed? Is there any movement on
these campaign ideas? This makes me sad.

No one has accomplished anything. Nothing has changed.
The only movement regarding campaigns is the Mayor and
Council have discovered they don't have to hold elections if
they don't want to. That is what makes me sad.

Must have been an interesting election since Bob and Harvey
lived across the street from each other.

WDMV was originally licensed as WDVM and went on the air 1n 1955 and was
housed in a tiny cinder block building on Stockton Road, just behind where Choppy
Layton lives now. The main DJ was Eddie Matherly who was known as "Mama's
Country Youngin". The call sign was changed to WDMV somewhere around 1959 or
1960 to represent "Wonderful Delmarva".

When Cuban dictator Batista was overthrown WDVM listeners got the news from
Eddie Matherly in these words: "Batista high-tailed it out of Cuba this morning."
Matherly and his "Hoedowners" performed around the lower Eastern Shore. His
"Hillbilly Haven" promoted country music shows on the Eastern Shore of Virginia at
Red Hill near Horntown. He left the Eastern Shore in 1960. In 1964 Matherly was
stricken with a fatal heart attack after he mc'd a country music show at the
Washington Coliseum. It was a month before his 37th birthday. At the time he was
general manager of a Warrenton, Va. radio station.

The Time Machine is a weekly feature I've enjoyed researching and compiling on The Pocomoke Public Eye since 2011. I have fond memories of growing up in Pocomoke City and welcome reader contributions we can share about things you've read, remember, or were told relating to our Pocomoke/Eastern shore area...a sentence, a paragraph, or more all fine. Just email it.
