YORK COUNTY — York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect in a June 5 incident.

The commenter that stated “you have the perfect right to ask an unmasked person to put on their mask indoors” is wrong. The CDC, federal and state governments have provided their ruling that masks are no longer necessary for those who have been fully vaccinated. Furthermore, a non-authority person has no right to tell another person what to do and is looking for trouble if they do. If you want to continue to wear a mask do so, but don’t push your desire onto others.

I would like to remind the Hampton City Council that we live in a boating city. In recent years, we have spent money on our parks, and we see it. We have awesome parks. When I go to the Willow Oaks library, I do not want to see a man sitting there waiting to collect a fee from me to use the public library. Even a small fee would be unacceptable to me.

A few area racing junkies competed in all three.
