LETTER: County Should Not Cut School Board Positions
March 23, 2013
DEAR EDITOR,
We would like to register our disagreement as well as displeasure concerning the consideration by the Northampton County Board of Supervisors with the elimination of the two at-large members of the school board, thereby reducing the number of members from seven to five.
Removing the two at-large positions for this first election will possibly eliminate candidates who happen to live in the same district. Currently, if as many as three citizens worthy of being elected live in the same district, they nevertheless are able to run for election (two at-large and one in the district) with the possibility of being elected.
With the elimination of the two at-large positions only one of those three candidates can be elected. The chance for diversity of all kinds so necessary in our community will be lessened. We need more voices rather than less at this very important time. [Read more…]

March Winds Leave Their Mark on Harbor
CAPE CHARLES WAVE
March 15, 2013
Recent gale-force winds left their mark on the Bay Coast Railroad at Cape Charles Harbor: The shed covering the historic excursion car looks like it would have been flattened without support from the rail car.
Meanwhile, the float bridge, used to load cars on barges, partially broke lose from its supports and listed hard to port. Welders began repairs earlier this week.
Overseeing it all was an osprey, just returned to its established nesting spot on harbor pilings. The wind seems not to have disturbed the nest. (Wave photos)
