FDR Boulevard Reaches Pegg Road After Years Of Construction

LEXINGTON PARK, Md. — Mike Hewitt remembers his father asking why St. Mary’s County needed another road when the one in front of his business worked fine. It was the 1970s, Hewitt recalled, and a county commissioner had stopped by to tell his father about a road planned behind the business. The idea was to give drivers somewhere else to go when a crash backed up traffic.

Historic Cambridge school reopens as Boys & Girls Club and community center

CAMBRIDGE, Md. – A historic Cambridge school has a new purpose: giving young people in Dorchester County and beyond a place to go after the school day ends. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore celebrated the opening of its new Club at Mace’s Lane Community Center on Thursday. The center is in the former Mace’s Lane school, built in 1952 as an all-Black high school that served African American students from across Dorchester County during segregation.

Cambridge commissioners continue vacancy discussions

CAMBRIDGE — Residents and commissioners alike continued the contentious conversations surrounding two ordinances — ordinance 1280 on rental dwelling registration, licensing and inspections and ordinance 1281 on vacant commercial storefronts and residential structures. At the beginning of the meeting, Commissioner Shay Lewis-Sisco motioned to amend the agenda to postpone the ordinance’s readings due to amendments made over the weekend not being included in the public council packet. Lewis-Sisco also suggested postponing the ordinances because of a very large presence at the prior meeting speaking out against both ordinances. Mayor Lajan Cephas-Bey argued against the delay saying that continuing to postpone holds up city staff from performing essential functions, specifically processing new rental property registrations. Delaying past this meeting would push the process back by at least two weeks to a month due to advertising “I’m going to quote President Cephas: ‘either piss or get off the pot,’” Cephas-Bey said. Lewis-Sisco revised the motion to keep the items on the agenda for discussion only without taking action. A tie vote occurred on whether to amend the agenda, which Cephas-Bey broke by voting to keep the items on the agenda as presented. Amendments The ordinances both have significant amendments to housing and

Veterans honored at Easton Elementary

EASTON — The veterans waited in the hallway. One at a time they were announced by branch, rank and name, and one at a time a fifth grader walked each of them to a front-row table: a grandchild, a niece, a stepchild. Six relatives of Easton Elementary School students were honored that way at the school’s Veterans Day program, which for the first time asked fifth graders to invite the veterans in their own families. “These kids were so proud to have their grandparents and moms and dads join us,” said Michelle Mackall, the fifth grade teacher who led the event for the school. For years the program was a panel of local veterans talking to students. Michael Feehley, chairman of the veterans affairs committee at the Easton Elks Lodge, who has long organized the visit, said he wanted the children to do more than listen. He asked three principals, he said, before one agreed. When he asked Mackall whether students could bring in veterans of their own, her answer was short: “I’m on it.” This year about 160 fifth graders wrote poems, drew pictures, wrote questions and, in a first for the grade, sang. ‘Who can tell me what

New Ocean City mayor supports return of tram, shares top priorities

A new individual has taken seat in Ocean City, Maryland's mayoral office. Newly elected Mayor Matt James was sworn in this month after unseating former Mayor Rick Meehan by approximately 300 votes during the resort town's municipal election, which was held in conjunction with the gubernatorial election on Nov. 3, 2026. According to unofficial results tallied by the Ocean City Board of Supervisors Elections, James recieved a total of 1,438 votes and Meehan 1,136 votes. At just 33 years old, James is the youngest mayor in Ocean City, Md., history. He believes having young blood in a vital leadership position is a positive for the resort town. "I think it's great for the image of the town," he said. James' time spent working on the ground during his campaign period was essential to winning the mayoral election. "I think (voters) appreciated the work I did during the campaign and the work I've done over the last 12 years on the council," he shared. "I knocked on somewhere around 1,200 doors.
