TRANSCRIPT:
Good morning, it is Tuesday, March 9th, 2021 and THIS is your Eye On Annapolis Daily News Brief.
On Sunday, a large shed caught fire in Arnold and ended up burning down two adjacent sheds in the process. The Anne Arundel County Fire Department did the best they could but some idiot driving ran over the hoses that were stretched in the highway supplying water to the scene and caused the hose to burst. Not cool. And illegal. Thankfully no one was injured and they were able to put it out in about 90 minutes. But the fire on W. Joyce Lane ultimately caused 100,000 in property damage in addition to the damage to the hoses.
The CDC let loose some recommendations for vaccinated people. If you are fully vaccinated and are visiting anyone else that is also fully vaccinated, you are good to go just like it was February 2020–no social distances, no masks, etc. Now if you are vaccinated and others are not but they are in a low risk category …. you are also good to go, but this is more geared to families…grandparents and kids, etc. The do recommend that even though you may be vaccinated, if you are out and about, mask up, keep your distance and avoid crowds. Now, with that said, Governor Hogan has called a press conference today at 3:30pm to talk COVID. I am currently debating with some friends about what he might announce. Stay tuned to EyeOnAnnapolis.net for the details or tune in at 330pm to the Governor’s YouTube channel.
And speaking of the Governor, he found some money the other day and wants to reward State employees. Yesterday, he submitted a supplemental budget for $74 million dollars to reward each State employee with a $1000 bonus. If approved by the legislature (and let’s be real, it will), State employees can expect to see it on April 14th and the ones that work for the University System of Maryland will see it the following week. I need to talk to my boss about a $1000 bonus!
BWI was recognized as the top North American Airport of its size category for 2020. The Airports Council International World award is a pretty big deal as it is the industry standard and they are judged on 34 different metrics. BWI scored high for parking, facilities, value, security, food and shopping, and check in ease. And less you think you are running up there to check it out– the terminal is only open to ticketed passengers at this point!
And in ANOTHER award…. Newsweek recently ranked the the best hospitals in America and our own Anne Arundel Medical Center came in at number 121 out of the top 200. All in all, Maryland had 7 on the list with Johns Hopkins coming in at #4. The 1 through 4 spots went to the Mayo Clinic #1 followed by the Cleveland Clinic and Mass General in Boston. So congrats to AAMC.
Before we wrap up, let’s have some fun. I’m gonna play a sound clip in a few seconds. Have a listen and send me an email or DM on Twitter and let me know the year in which it happened. I have three $25 gift cards to Chesepiooc Real Ale Brewery in Crofton to give away. To be fair, one will go to the first person that get the correct year and emails or DMs me before noon. Another to the first to emails or DMs me between noon and 6pm. And the third to the first to emails or DMs me between 6pm and midnight! Hey not everyone gets up at 6am to listen to this! OK here we go…listen up.
Did you get it?
And finally, when you hear a podcast you enjoyed–this one, maybe the Annapolis Podcast, The Duckpin, The Loud Women’s Club, or The Conduit Street Podcast or anyone… throw us and them a bone by sharing it with friends and leaving a rating or review. It’s usually pretty easy with a press or two and it really helps spread the word! And thanks for listening!
And more thanks to our sponsors for this Daily News Brief– Solar Energy Services up in Millersville and the Kristi Neidhardt Team of Northrop Realty, a Long and Foster Company.
And like every other day, George Young from DCMDVA Weather is here with your locally forecast weather report…and it is looking pretty sweet! All that gets underway in just one minute after we hear from Rick Peters from Solar Energy Services!
