What’s In Your Wallet?

And more importantly, how do you make what’s in your wallet go the distance? Two ways you can do so is by reading two monthly columns featured in the Caroline Review, Tolbert Rowe’s “Dollars and Sense” and Ann Jacob’s submissions as an Edward Jones Financial Advisor. Between the two columns you will find information and suggestions to help you make wiser financial decisions. Their columns are featured on pages 12, 13, and 15 of the July issue, still available on newstands and online at www.carolinereview.com. Remember…the Caroline Review is FREE to you so picking up a copy makes perfect financial sense! 💰

July 1981

A regular contributor to the Caroline Review for many years, Jean H. Hurst shared her knowledge of antiques in her regular column “Let’s Go Antiquing.” This column on all things wicker appeared in the July 1981 issue. Wicker furniture is still ideal for the hot and humid days of our Caroline County summers!

Caroline County residents!

We hear your concerns and share your frustration regarding the closure of River Road. The decision to initiate the River Road Culvert Replacement was a proactive measure aimed at averting a potential road failure that could have had widespread impacts across our county. Here’s an overview of why the road was closed in June and our current progress:

Reason for Closure:
• The decision to close River Road in June was driven by the urgent need to prevent a potential major road failure.
• The culvert under the road had deteriorated significantly, posing a safety risk to motorists and threatening to worsen with time.
• Delaying the closure would have resulted in increased costs and longer disruptions to traffic.

Current Status:
• Underground utility relocation has been in progress, with one utility awaiting final clearance by Friday. Although you can’t see “shovels in the ground”, several updates have occurred with many nighttime operations to finalize utility switchovers. For all of which, closure was needed.
• This project involves replacing the existing pipes with a more durable box culvert and raising the flood-prone section of the road by 1 foot.

Environmental Considerations:
• Construction timelines are governed by state regulations to protect sensitive habitats, such as fish spawning season. Meaning, this is the approved timeline when we are allowed to repair our county road.
•We’ve worked to schedule construction to minimize environmental impact while ensuring safety and efficiency.

Communication and Coordination:
• We have continued to collaborate closely with all our partners, including emergency services, the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office, local volunteer fire companies, and the Board of Education, ensuring seamless communication throughout this process to manage any potential disruptions during construction.

Timeline:
• Final utility relocation clearance is expected by Friday, allowing additional construction to begin on Monday.
• This project is anticipated to be completed in late August, barring no unforeseen circumstances.
• We will provide regular updates to keep you informed of progress and any adjustments to the timeline.

Please understand that a temporary road closure of two to three months is necessary to ensure the long-term safety and stability of River Road. This proactive measure prevents potential road washouts and ensures that the project is completed efficiently and effectively. We appreciate your cooperation in making this essential improvement for the benefit of our entire community.

Books and dogs, a winning combination, meet Grigsby at the Denton branch of the Caroline County Public Library on Thursday, July 25th!

Practice reading to a trained service dog! Grigsby is a great listener and would love to have you read him a story. Reading to a dog decreases the stress that children often feel when reading aloud. Grigsby is trained to sit or lay calmly beside your child while he reads. It’s a judgement-free zone that allows the child to build confidence and develop fluency.

Register to read to Grigsby by calling us at 410-479-1343 or visiting our website - https://carolib.libcal.com/calendar/CCPLEvents?t=d&q=Paws%20for%20Reading&cid=9427&cal=9427&inc=0

1984

An advertisement from the July 1984 issue of the Caroline Review for Movieland II in Denton. It seems that for $8.00 you could not only rent a VHS tape copy of movies like Scarface, Christine, Sudden Impact, and Terms of Endearment, among others, but also a VCR (videocassette recorder for those of you born after 1999 ☺️) to play the tape!

Two questions:

Where was Movieland I located?
Were you kind… did you rewind???
