Riverboat woes
(WBOC)
SNOW HILL, Md. - The Town of Snow Hill held a special work session Tuesday evening to discuss the future of the "Black Eyed Susan" river boat that the town purchased in 2020.
Mayor Dr. Jennifer Jewell said to keep the boat and conduct all necessary repairs, the town would have to pay over $600,000.

Anonymous said...Even if the town of Snow Hill were to pay $600,000+ for repairs there are still operating costs of salaries, fuel, regular maintenance, etc. I don't think the Snow Hill officials are corrupt, but they are extraordinarily ignorant.

History beneath our feet- Part 2
(Shore Daily News)
The Eastern Shore of Virginia is rich in history. Often times, when we think about history, we think of books, landmarks, old documents or buildings. In actuality, history is all around us including just a few inches beneath the surface of the ground we walk on. This week, in the second of a two part series, Kelley visited with Tom Kellam as he shared the impact metal detecting has had for him, how anyone can get started as well as etiquette for metal detectorists.

Effective Tuesday 4/19 at Worcester County Public Schools
(Superintendent of Schools Lou Taylor:)
"As we continue to see positive progress through the pandemic, our schools will now be allowed to host events for families within our schools, like awards assemblies, concerts, and more. While we will still encourage our schools to hold these events outdoors when the weather allows, we know that this may not always be possible. Additionally, adult seating for events will no longer be restricted by COVID-19 physical distancing guidelines. In addition to events, parents will now be allowed to enter our schools for volunteering, meetings, and conferences.
I want to reassure our families that in our school settings, students will continue to observe physical distancing to the greatest extent possible.
Lastly, I am very excited to share that beginning on Tuesday, in partnership with the Maryland Department of Health, our health suites will now be able to provide free at-home COVID-19 tests to students or staff who are demonstrating COVID-19 symptoms, to students in a classroom or cohort in a qualified outbreak, and for household contacts of students or staff members who have tested positive for COVID-19."

The exact origin of the fire is not known. Mr. Davis had been buring trash int he alley that morning and while some hold to the theory that a spark from the burning trash may have caused the conflagration, still this theory has not been definitely established.)
