Dorchester County Council thanks public works, approves airport event | |
CAMBRIDGE — During a Dorchester County Council meeting Tuesday, the county manager and council recognized public safety and public works employees for their efforts in the snowstorm that brought as much as 10.5 inches of snow to the county.
Dorchester County Manager Jerry Jones said county public safety and public works employees worked hard throughout the snowstorm.
“A lot of great work has been done, and I just wanted to recognize them for the efforts they put forth,” he said. “Because it’s no easy lift. While many of our county residents are home asleep, warm in their beds, these (employees) are out there in the middle of the night during these treacherous conditions and getting the job done.”
County Council Member Ricky Travers said the Public Works Department employees had to go out and “spend long hours” plowing snow.
“It takes a lot out of you to deal with it,” he said.
Council President Lenny Pfeffer thanked Jones for leading the county through the “first big storm” since Jones took on the role of county manager in May. Pfeffer also reminded everyone to check in on the elderly and neighbors through this weather. “Make sure everybody’s safe during this time when it’s hard to get out,” he said.

Our Town Revisited: Richardson Maritime Museum | |
CAMBRIDGE, Md. – Continuing our flashback to the past, we’re headed to Cambridge to revisit the Brannock Maritime Museum as we did 25 years ago, in April 1999.
Brannock’s Beginnings
Back then, it was located on the beautiful grounds of Talbot Street in Cambridge and was a great resource for finding out just about anything you wanted regarding the exciting life on the bay.
Earl Brannock, who the museum was originally named after, had collected over 7000 pictures, 4000 books, magazines, diaries, and letters about the many phases of Chesapeake Bay, and local maritime interest. The Brannock had become known as a research center worldwide for information in this area, even earning the title “Maritime Museum with a Twist.”
Revamping as Richardson
Over 2 decades later, many things have changed, including the name, but what remains is the hard work, and heart, that goes into the creation of a boat. The Chesapeake Bay is known for its craftsmen, especially in Cambridge, Maryland.
What was once the Brannock is now The Richardson Maritime Museum. All existing boat models, pictures, and historical artifacts were combined to create the facility that is now standing. Whether they built shallow-drafted work boats or specialized vessels suited to the bay, the Maritime was known for what it could put on the water.

At noon, we will begin the lunch service that we promise you will love with smoked meats and fresh seafood, followed by desserts.
The cost for the day will be $125 per hunter and we will be offering a lunch-only option for only $40. You can start to reserve your spots now by sending checks payable to NDVFC at 954 Cooks Point Road, cambridge, MD 21613.
We will reserve the spot when we receive the payment since we will likely have more hunters than space available so don't delay.
