Talbot council front-runners shift with new mail-in count

EASTON — The race for Talbot County Council continues to take shape as mail-in ballots are counted in the days following Election Day — fives seats are at stake. Though all 12 precincts reported some mail-in results on Election Day, remaining mail-ins and provisional ballots will be canvassed by Nov. 12, yielding official election results. In the meantime, unofficial front-runners forecast a 3-2 Republican majority. The most popular candidate as of Friday afternoon proves to be incumbent Vice President Pete Lesher. Lesher, a Democrat, has received 9,165 votes. Close behind is the council’s incumbent president Chuck Callahan, receiving 8,816 votes in his bid for a fourth term. On Wednesday, unofficial results pointed to a 4-1 Republican majority, with Lesher the sole Democrat.

Eastern Shore winner claims FAST PLAY ticket worth $1.4 million

CHESTER — A Queen Anne’s County Maryland Lottery player using the nickname Eastern Shore Millionaire was understandably in shock on Oct. 15 when he realized that he won a FAST PLAY 20X Cash progressive jackpot worth $1,452,675. The entrepreneur told Lottery officials that he had been playing that game for months. After purchasing this ticket, he scanned it and realized he had won something but didn’t think it was the progressive jackpot. He scanned it a few more times and then noticed that the progressive jackpot on the $20 game had reset back to $300,000, which is the game’s base amount after someone has won a progressive jackpot. That’s when he started to believe it was real. “I called my mom right away,” he said. “She was in shock, too.” His next move was to put the ticket in a safe and call a lawyer and accountant for advice. He plans to invest some of his windfall but also wants to take a long-awaited vacation. But, to start, he took his mom to dinner after claiming the prize at Lottery headquarters in Baltimore on Nov. 5. “He works so hard,” his mom said. “He truly deserves this.” The ticket was

Warriors rally to reach region final

RIDGELY — Easton High’s volleyball team had lost a marathon-like first set and was staring at a 10-0 deficit in the second. “The whole time I was thinking, ‘this could be my last game,’” Warrior setter Heaven Murray said. “‘We got to play harder than we ever could before.’” Whether this was the hardest Easton played all season may be a matter of opinion, but the the third-seeded Warriors played hard enough Friday night to pull out a 26-28, 26-24, 25-17, 25-18 victory over No. 2 seed North Caroline in a Class 2A East Region II semifinal. The Warriors (13-4), who have won eight of nine, including their last six, advance to Wednesday’s region final at unbeaten top seed Kent Island (17-0) at 5 p.m. The two-time defending region champion Bucs defeated Queen Anne’s, 25-16, 25-19, 25-12 in Friday’s other semifinal. “It was incredible,” Murray said of Easton rallying from being down 10-0 in the second set. “Whenever Cam (Webb) went on that serving run I was like, ‘Yes, this is the momentum we need to actual shift and change the game.’” North Caroline (11-4), which split with Easton during the regular season, outlasted the Warriors in the opening set,
