Here on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, we are pursuing a different path.

Exelon seeks customer relief through FERC Complaint

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Exelon Corporation has filed a complaint with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in an effort to change the way the cost of energy is determined for its customers, which include Delmarva Power. This amounts to a challenge to what is being considered by the company as an outdated method used to determine energy costs. Electricity for Cecil County comes from the PJM Grid. Currently the cost per kilowatt hour is decided by forecasting what the cost will be in three years. What Maryland can do now, according to the Exelon complaint, is change the contract to current trends, not future. Exelon contends this would bring meaningful savings to customers. PJM is a regional power supplier for Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland. In Maryland there are 275 operational generation plants, which includes residential solar. Another 265 are in the planning stage along with nine expansions. “Customers are facing a real affordability challenge, and we are stepping up through The Exelon Promise to advocate practical solutions to keep their bills as low as possible,” said Colette Honorable, Exelon executive vice president, chief legal officer, compliance and corporate secretary. “PJM’s recognition that its markets need to evolve is an important

Why Migrating Birds Stop at Bombay Hook

At Delaware’s Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, falling tides expose mudflats where migrating shorebirds can feed along the Atlantic Flyway. At low tide along the Delaware Bay, water drains from the marsh channels, leaving stretches of mud exposed. That’s when shorebirds can get to the small animals buried just beneath the surface. A few hours later, water covers the same feeding ground, and the birds have to look elsewhere.

Locals Agree This Quirky Delaware Town Is The Most Artsy Place In The State

In one tiny village, nobody technically owns the land under their own house. Residents lease it for 99 years, and the clubs are spelled Gild on purpose. That odd spelling came from founders who liked simplified spelling. One founder was a sculptor. The other was an architect. Together they dreamed...

Region Playoff Round 2 Football Outlook

Class 2A/1A North Round 2 No. 5 Rising Sun at No. 1 Elkton: Friday, 7 p.m. Last Meeting: Elkton 59, Rising Sun 10; Sept. 25, 2026 Outlook: Two familiar region opponents square off in a second round matchup Friday night, as Elkton hosts Rising Sun with a trip to the state tournament on the line. Friday’s meeting will mark the fourth time in the last six seasons that the two schools have met in the postseason. Elkton won the pair’s last postseason matchup 40-13 in Nov. 2024. The two schools also met in Week 4 of this season, when Elkton used a 39-point second half to score a 59-10 victory. Elkton enters this week fully rested, as the Golden Elks had a bye for the first round of the region playoffs by virtue of having the No. 1 seed in Class 2A/1A North. The last time Elkton took the field, it capped off its second consecutive undefeated regular season with a 36-0 win over C. Milton Wright. Elkton will begin its postseason run led by quarterback Ziel Cleveland, who leads the Golden Elks in both passing and rushing yards. Cleveland has thrown for 1,924 yards through the air and 402

High school graduations will remain at the Bob Carpenter Center

ELKTON — Cecil County Public Schools will once again hold its graduation ceremonies at the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark, Del. Two members of the Cecil County School Board voted against it Wednesday evening, but were outvoted with a 3-2 nod in favor of spending $58,590 to rent the Bob Carpenter Center for the 2027 graduations. Joe Ferdinando and Brian Hampton — this was Hampton’s final meeting — voted against the expense, with Hampton noting that coming budget cuts from the state means CCPS might need those funds elsewhere, including a shortage of teacher assistants in kindergarten classes. (Sheila Tome defeated Hampton for the District 4 seat. Hawley decided not to seek re-election. Grant Handley won her seat. Joe Ferdinando and challenger Dominick Mannella are separated by less than 2 percentage points. That race will be determined by a final tally with all ballots counted sometime Friday according to Gary Holmes, chief of the Cecil County Board of Elections) Superintendent Jeffrey Lawson said the individual schools budget about $7,000 on average for the ceremony regardless, so having it off site only adds about $20,000 to the CCPS budget. “Already on the budget doesn’t mean it should be spent,” Ferdinando said.

Perryville ceremony celebrates military veterans

PERRYVILLE — Of the more than 300 million Americans in this country, only 1 percent of them have served, will serve, or are serving in the U.S. military. U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 5 Jason J. Horton provided that statistic Wednesday while serving as the keynote speaker during the Veterans Day ceremony at Perryville American Legion Susquehanna Post 135. So while the vast majority of Americans possess a general awareness of the sacrifices made by servicemen and servicewomen, that 99 percent hasn’t and never will experience how those day-in-day-out sacrifices feel to those in uniform. Those sacrifices aren’t made only by military men and military women serving around the globe — some of them in harm’s way during conflicts — but by those carrying out their duties stateside. And one of the hardest and most common sacrifices is spending long periods of time away from family, according to Horton who, is stationed at Aberdeen Proving Ground and serves as senior technical advisor to Portfolio Management Executive Command and Control Information Network. Horton told attendees that, at the 25-year mark in his military career, he finds himself living back in the barracks for the next two years because of his latest
