Mid-Shore high school athletes continue to distinguish themselves in competition. From the notable records of the St. Michaels powerhouse baseball team and an outstanding North Caroline team to the dynamite Easton girls softball team. Next they may put bases in Beavo’s pasture.
Dr. Ed Shirley’s outstanding service to Caroline County Public Schools is coming to an end. His replacement will have large shoes to fill, but an excellent board and staff to work with. Beavo hopes that Tina Brown will be a part of that staff. She also is A-1.
Queen Annes County’s Sheriffs Department has done what appears to be a top notch job with the investigation of the murder of a Denton woman. The rapid closure on this case indicates we are blessed with skilled people in that department.
Recently a memorial park for those 89 people lost to the dangerous Maryland Route 404 was dedicated. Yet another opportunity to recognize the tireless efforts of Jim Voss, the Freeman family and the entire C-Team. Mid-Shore residents are grateful for the efforts.
Chesapeake College continues to be one of the Mid-Shore’s great assets. The college has an outreach that extends far beyond the classroom, making the area a better place and keeping the community in community college. Worthy of note, Gov. O’Malley recently appointed Nash McMahan to the board. Excellent choice.
Thursday night in Caroline County is the best night of the week for many Mid-Shore folks.. A trip to the Curtis Andrew Auction is an opportunity to connect with true Americana. The Labor Day equipment auction is the best chance you can get to greet old friends and relatives. The now and then concerts in the building bring top performers to entertain large crowds of decent, drug-free folks from all over the map. Curtis seems to have cornered the market on tourism and economic development. No tax dollars either.
Talbot Council member Laura Price has quickly demonstrated that she is a council member to be reckoned with. Beavo has heard that her fellow council member Dirck Bartlett regrets that he is no longer the prettiest member.
