  1. Exactly. Like why are our children still going to a school that for sure need work done to it. We haven’t heard one word about that. They consider things that are not an immediate need. Help our kids so they can learn better and strive more. Pay attention to our kids they should be our first consideration. Then let’s help our seniors, they need somewhere to go in Northampton county to mingle, play games, eat lunch. Show them they are not forgotten. Let’s think about that in your next meeting.

  2. I think it’s HORRIBLE that the hospital moved to Only. It was far enough for people who live down the road. Capeville, Cape Charles…Now it’s almost in Salisbury….Does the county not care about these people or what. So our only option is to risk the lives of people rushing them either across the bay ,and tackling that bring or 1 hour drive to Onley. Sounds like a DEATH SENTENCE to me. Either way. The hospitals are to darn far away. Shame on the County. DO BETTER FOR OUR RESIDENTS❣️

    1. Ms. Jackson,
      How many meetings of the Board of Supervisors have you ever attended? I will take a wild swing at zero, but would be delighted to hear that I am wrong. If you had taken time to sit in one when Riverside was planning to move to Onley, you would know how hard the Board worked to keep it in Nassawadox or, failing that, to ensure that residents of Northampton had access to health services.

      The only problem is that you cannot tell a for-profit company where it will or will not do business. Money, not care, is the driving force behind big hospital services. I can’t fault the Board for its efforts. Having said that, Granville Hogg’s suggestion about relocating ambulances to accommodate seasonal population surges is an excellent one and the county would do well to consider it. The real question is why the head of emergency services isn’t proposing these changes to the board. Isn’t this part of the job?

      1. Given the state of the Northampton County economy and the long slow loss of population there have been many failed iterations of the Northampton County Board of Supervisors. At this point, blaming anyone else but the BOS is wrong. They are the ones that have made the poor decisions for all of us here in Northampton County. Take a look at the record and then look up the word representative in the dictionary.

  3. The school situation is truly of dire attention. The story here is of the EMS situation. With only 3 staffed units in the county, EMS is stretched thin in NC. Soms days, every unit in the county is out at the same time, forcing units from Accomack to come down! The county has two ambulances which were purchased with EMS grant funds. The garage would allow units and equipment to be housed inside, thus increasing the life of the units. When tax payers call 911, they expect a response! Countless people in the county owe their life to EMS response and proper care that has been provided. Instead of being negative and making off the wall comments, perhaps that time could be better spent by joining your local vol station and become part of a solution!
