California exodus continues (Los Angeles Times) After living in the Bay Area for nearly seven years, Hari Raghavan and his wife decided to leave for the East Coast late last year. They were both working remotely and wanted to leave California because of the high cost of living and urban crime. So they made a list of potential relocation cities before choosing Miami for its sunny weather and what they perceived was a better sense of safety. Raghavan said that their Oakland house had been broken into four times and that prior to the pandemic, his wife called him every day during her seven-minute walk home from the BART station because she felt safer with someone on the phone. After moving to Miami, Raghavan said they accidentally left their garage door open one day and were floored when they returned home and found nothing had been stolen. California ranks second in the country for outbound moves—a phenomenon that has snowballed during the pandemic, according to a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, which tracked data from moving company United Van Lines. Between 2018 and 2019, California had an outbound move rate of 56%. That rate rose to nearly 60% in 2020-21. California lost more than 352,000 residents between April 2020 and January 2022, according to California Department of Finance statistics.

Death Toll Rises in Devastating Kentucky Flooding (NYT) Shirley Stamper, 74, awoke to the sound of wild banging beneath her house. Floodwaters were swallowing her remote mountain community and Ms. Stamper, along with her mother-in-law, Ethel Stamper, 94, needed to get out, immediately. The rain continued to fall in parts of eastern Kentucky on Friday, and creeks and rivers were still swelling. But where the floodwaters were receding, the destruction of the past two days was coming slowly but dreadfully into view. At least 25 people had died, according to reports from the governor’s office and local officials. In the rugged topography of central Appalachia, many places were still cut off on Friday, and determining the toll of devastation could take weeks. There was more rain in the forecast for early next week, adding even greater urgency to rescue efforts. “We’ve got to act quickly after the water recedes tomorrow,” Mr. Beshear said, “certainly before it rains again.” In Breathitt County, Jeffrey Noble, the judge executive, said the storm and the flooding had knocked out the phones for miles around. “They’re saying around 250 people are missing,” he said. “I don’t even want to talk about deaths. “Homes are washed away, communities are washed away, roads are washed away,” Mr. Noble said. “I’ve heard of hundred-year floods, but this is way beyond that. In the history of Kentucky, our county has never seen anything like this.”

Britain’s trains disrupted in second widespread rail strike in a week (Reuters) Around 5,000 train drivers across almost a quarter of Britain’s rail network went on strike on Saturday, as part of a campaign for higher pay after the country’s inflation rate hit its highest in 40 years. The 24-hour strike organised by train drivers’ union ASLEF is the second significant industrial action this week on Britain’s rail network, after 40,000 members of the RMT and TSSA unions—which represent other rail staff—held a major strike on Wednesday. Soaring inflation—consumer price inflation is currently 9.4%—and patchy wage rises have exacerbated labour tensions across sectors including postal services, health, schools, airports and the judiciary.

Europe’s Race to Secure New Energy Sources Is on a Knife’s Edge (NYT) As Russia tightens its chokehold on supplies of natural gas, Europe is looking everywhere for energy to keep its economy running. Coal-fired power plants are being revived. Billions are being spent on terminals to bring in liquefied natural gas, much of it from shale fields in Texas. Officials and heads of state are flying to Qatar, Azerbaijan, Norway and Algeria to nail down energy deals. Across Europe, fears are growing that a cutoff of Russian gas will force governments to ration fuel and businesses to close factories, moves that could put thousands of jobs at risk. So far, the hunt for fuel has been met with considerable success. But as prices continue to soar and the Russian threat shows no sign of abating, the margin for error is thin. “There is a very big and legitimate worry about this winter,” said Michael Stoppard, vice president for global gas strategy at S&P Global, a research firm.

A disputed blast kills Ukrainian P.O.W.s (NYT) Russia and Ukraine traded blame for an explosion at a prison camp in the Russia-occupied eastern Donetsk region that killed at least 40 Ukrainian prisoners of war. The attack took place yesterday in the town of Olenivka, where Russia is holding thousands of Ukrainian prisoners of war. Russia’s defense minister claimed that Ukraine had used a U.S.-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, to strike the prison. Ukraine’s motive, Russia said, was to intimidate Ukrainian soldiers who might consider surrendering. Ukraine rejected the claim, accusing Russia of bombing the facility to hide evidence of torture and extrajudicial executions and calling it a false-flag operation to discredit Ukraine.

North Korea claims no new fever cases amid doubts over COVID data (AP) North Korea on Saturday reported no new fever cases for the first time since it abruptly admitted to its first domestic COVID-19 outbreak and placed its 26 million people under more draconian restrictions in May. There have been widespread outside doubts about the accuracy of North Korean statistics as its reported fatalities are too low and its daily fever cases have been plummeting too fast recently. Some experts say North Korea has likely manipulated the scale of illness and deaths to help leader Kim Jong Un maintain absolute control amid mounting economic difficulties. The North’s anti-epidemic center said via state media it had found zero fever patients in the latest 24-hour period, maintaining the country’s total caseload of about 4.8 million. Its death count remains at 74, with a mortality rate of 0.0016% that would be the world’s lowest if true.

China announces military exercise opposite Taiwan (AP) China said it was conducting military exercises Saturday off its coast opposite Taiwan after warning Speaker Nancy Pelosi of the U.S. House of Representatives to scrap possible plans to visit the island democracy, which Beijing claims as part of its territory. The ruling Communist Party’s military wing, the People’s Liberation Army, was conducting “live-fire exercises” near the Pingtan islands off Fujian province from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., the official Xinhua News Agency said. The Maritime Safety Administration warned ships to avoid the area. Such exercises usually involve artillery. The one-sentence announcement gave no indication whether Saturday’s exercise also might include missiles, fighter planes or other weapons. Pelosi, who would be the highest-ranking American elected official to visit Taiwan since 1997, has yet to confirm whether she will go. President Xi Jinping warned his U.S. counterpart, Joe Biden, in a phone call Thursday against “external interference” in Beijing’s dealings with the island.

Saudi crown prince wants you talking about his ‘city of the future’ (Washington Post) Imagine living in a vertical metropolis with no cars and a temperate climate, housed in twin high-rises more than 100 miles long, with hanging gardens and stunning views. In this Shangri-La, there’s no traffic or pollution, just green space, amenities and high-speed mass transit. The twist is that it’s in Saudi Arabia, in a remote stretch of desert, and that you can’t move there anytime soon, because it only exists in promotional videos—the latest pie-in-the-sky pet project of the country’s crown prince and de facto leader, Mohammed bin Salman, also known as MBS. Last week, the prince unveiled new details about the project, versions of which he has been talking up for years, calling it a “civilizational revolution” that will challenge “traditional … horizontal cities.” About 100 miles in length and one-eighth of a mile wide, the walled city would form the “infrastructure spine” of a wider megapolis, known as Neom, planned for northwestern Saudi Arabia. According to tech news website the Verge, promotional footage for the city seems like “the result of some very excitable marketing execs and a fortnight of all-nighters in Blender.”

Conneaut Harbor West Breakwater Light

Broad Street Extension

Conneaut, OH 44030

The town of Conneaut (pronounced “con-e-aught”), located in the northeast corner of Ohio, lies on an old Indian trail, subsequently used by settlers seeking their fortunes on the western frontier. Seneca Indians called the creek that empties into Lake Erie at this point Konyiat, meaning place of many fish, from which the town’s name was derived. The Conneaut Lighthouse is a major land mark in Conneaut and Ashtabula County. The superstructure is a reinforced concrete building two stories in height with a tower rising in northeast corner. The cellar contains oil-storage tanks and other storerooms; the first floor provides a power room, kitchen, office and supply room; the second floor contains the water tanks, air receivers and a bedroom and the diaphone apparatus is placed in the tower. The light was placed in commission September 15, 1920, and the fog signal went into operation April 15, 1922. It can be easily viewed from anywhere in the Port of Conneaut. The Conneaut West Breakwater Lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 10, 1992

As the town grew, the port became an important shipping point for grain, whiskey, and forest products in the nineteenth century. Later, the products shipped from the port included limestone and coal. In 1829, Congress appropriated $7,500 to construct piers at the mouth of the Conneaut River, and in 1835 a lighthouse was built atop the eastern pier. A keeper’s dwelling was finally built in 1872, but this was not until after a new pierhead lighthouse had been constructed in 1859. Yet another pierhead beacon commenced operation in 1875, after $4,000 for its construction was appropriated in 1874. This beacon was placed on the west pier, instead of the east pier where the previous one stood, so it could be more easily reached from the keeper’s dwelling. An elevated walk was erected to permit the keeper to access the tower even when the pier was awash.

By 1885, the commerce at Conneaut had fallen and the harbor piers had been allowed to decay and fall into ruin. To save the west pier beacon, it was moved in November of that year to the high bluff where the keeper’s dwelling stood. After new enterprises were established that promised to make Conneaut a leading port in the shipment of iron and coal, harbor improvements were made including the establishment of a five-day lens lantern on the west pier in November 1892. This served until money was appropriated for an enclosed, square tower surmounted by an octagonal, copper-roofed lantern room. The new light commenced operation on September 8, 1895. On March 1, 1897, the light formerly used in the tower located near the keeper’s dwelling was activated in a new square, pyramidal tower on the inner end of the west pier to form, with the light on the outer end of the pier, a range for approaching the entrance to the harbor.

In 1896, a project was authorized for the construction of two detached, converging breakwaters to shelter the entrance to the parallel piers at Conneaut. On June 28, 1902, Congress appropriated $8,400 for a new lighthouse on the detached west breakwater and for modifying a light on the west pier to serve as a rear range with the breakwater light. As all the received bids for constructing the new lighthouse were excessive, the necessary material was purchased on the open market, and the lighthouse was built at the Buffalo lighthouse depot. After the War Department completed a new pierhead on the breakwater in 1906, the new lighthouse was placed upon it that October, and the old rear pier light was relocated to the outer end of the pier to range with the new breakwater light. The 1906 breakwater light was a wooden, cylindrical tower covered with iron and painted white. A wooden winding stairway provided access to the second floor from which an iron ladder led to the lantern room. The lighthouse measured thirty-one-and-a-half feet tall and showed a fixed white light using a fifth-order Chance Brothers lens. The rear range tower stood nearly thirty-nine feet tall, was painted red, and exhibited a fixed red light from a fifth-order, F. Barbier & Co. lens. A fog bell was added to the breakwater light in 1910.

In 1910, yet another project to improve Conneaut Harbor was initiated, as more room was needed to accommodate the roughly 3,000 vessels that were entering and departing the harbor each year. Under this work, the east breakwater was extended, much of the existing west breakwater was removed, and a new, 4,500-foot-long west breakwater was built farther out in the lake. On July 1, 1916, Congress appropriated $63,500 for improving aids to navigation at Conneaut, but due to World War I, the planned major lighthouse to mark the west breakwater was not activated until 1920. A temporary light commenced operation in 1914 to mark the new west breakwater and served until the permanent lighthouse was built. The superstructure of the permanent lighthouse is a reinforced concrete building two stories in height with a tower rising in northeast corner. The cellar contains oil-storage tanks and other storerooms; the first floor provides a power room, kitchen, office and supply room; the second floor contains the water tanks, air receivers and a bedroom and the diaphone apparatus is placed in the tower. The light was placed in commission September 15, 1920, and the fog signal went into operation April 15, 1922.

Susquehanna

Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, with grandson and slave, painted 1670

Cecil County [Maryland] is a redneck, white trash, beer guzzling chunk of small town USA. Rising Sun especially is known for their large KKK community…if you’re in the mood for any recreational drug use and/or prostitution, just head on down [to Elkton]...Hunting is also a big past time here, if you’re really a cool kid, you might even wear you’re camo gear to school. If you have a passion for good ole boy trucks with confederate flags on the back (if you’re lucky you can spot one with gun racks too), or just thoroughly enjoy being a hillbilly, Ceciltucky is the place for you. Move here at your own risk, most people who live here never leave… 

—entry for “Cecil County” on urbandictionary.com 

It is as if the Susquehanna were an endless sea and one would drop off the earth if one ventured too far from shore.

—The Washington Post, September 3, 1989

I will begin, as the colonists did, on Garrett Island. It rests in the mouth of the Susquehanna River, a truly mighty river which stretches all the way from upstate New York down to the head of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. Down here it forms the boundary between Harford County to the west and Cecil County, where I grew up, to the east. Anyone who grew up near the river, as I did, knows Garrett Island, because it is enormous. Yet it is uninhabited and has been for much of its history. The only way there—the only way there has ever been there—is by boat. I have been there by boat many times, when I was little. There was a rope that my brother and I used to loop around our feet and swing from into the water. There are woods, but I was always too afraid to go into them, because there is something undeniably haunted about Garrett Island, something dark, something that makes you want to leave the moment you lower your feet onto the sand.

Once upon a time my grandfather and my grandmother took a boat to Garrett Island. My grandfather got angry about something and abandoned my grandmother there. She had to swim across the river, back to the riverbank in Perryville, to get home.

Once upon a time, I was once told, there was a coven of witches on Garrett Island.

Once upon a time, August of 1608, in fact, a man named John Smith sailed past Garrett Island. He had come all the way here, to the head of the Chesapeake Bay, from the English colony of Virginia. He sailed as far north on the river—only a few miles—as he could, but the rocks in the riverbed prevented him from going any further. He had come here based on a tip: a few days earlier he had been on a nearby river, the Sassafras, which now forms the southern boundary of Cecil County, and there had met a group from the Tockwogh tribe. “Many hatchets, knives, peeces of iron, and brasse, we saw amongst them, which they reported to have from the Sasquesahanocks,” he wrote in his journal. These people—the Susquehannock—were reported to be

a mightie people and mortall enemies with the Massawomeks. The Sasquesahanocks inhabit upon the chiefe Spring of these foure branches of the Bayes head, two dayes journey higher then our barge could passe for rocks, yet we prevailed with the Interpreter to take with him another Interpreter, to perswade the Sasquesahanocks to come visit us, for their language are different. Three or foure dayes we expected their returne, then sixtie of those gyant-like people came downe, with presents of Venison, Tobacco-pipes three foot in length, Baskets, Targets, Bowes and Arrowes.

So began the end of the Susquehannock.

***

When John Smith sailed up the Chesapeake Bay in 1608, there was no “Maryland.” There was Virginia, controlled by the English, to the south, and there was New Netherland, stretching from Delaware Bay to the Hudson River, controlled by the Dutch, to the east and north. But around the Chesapeake Bay there were only the indigenous tribes. On the Eastern Shore were the Nanticokes, and to the north, in present-day Cecil County, were the Lenape, who extended down from Pennsylvania. The Susquehanna River appears to have served as a border between the Lenape and, on the western bank, the Susquehannock. The Susquehannock were a powerful people, and over the following decades they would consolidate control of the region. In 1608 they inhabited several villages along the Susquehanna riverbank extending toward their main city, which was located in present-day Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It was upriver to that city that Smith’s interpreters presumably travelled while the captain and his men languished in the mouth of the mighty Susquehanna, which at that time of year would have been swelteringly hot and humid.

George Johnston, in his 1881 History of Cecil County, offers a vision of what Smith and his men may have seen. He tells of since-disappeared “primeval forests,” “large swamps and morasses.” As for the fauna:

Deer, bear, wolves, opossums, hares, squirrels, wild turkeys, pheasants, wild pigeons, and many other kinds of animals abounded in the forests, and the creeks and rivers were well stocked with beavers, otters, muskrats, and all kinds of water fowl.

Anyone willing to venture past the highway a few miles today will still sense the primeval, for not far from the roads are winding creeks overgrown with dense vegetation, cicadas screaming in the bushes, trees disintegrating in the muck beneath the surface. Not far at all from I-95—dedicated in Cecil County by President John F. Kennedy, who cut the ribbon just days before his assassination—is the wild, uninhabited Garrett Island, visible today from the bridges spanning the Susquehanna but which would have been spotted by John Smith in 1608 from the deck of his ship, the island a dark and ghost-like form slung between the banks of the mighty river.

I grew up here, and everything seems so natural now, the landscape, the buildings, the family stories, the whole society. And yet I have now reached an age where things are starting to look different and therefore impermanent, illusory. This place is of course the place where I grew up, but I can detect the shifts. The North East Grocer has a new owner. The town library is closing and relocating. The Nazarene Camp has been demolished. “Doesn’t that look weird?” my mom asks as we drive past it. It does look weird, and what also looks weird is the slab that my childhood home was built on, next to the Susquehanna River in Port Deposit. The house is gone and the foundation has been overtaken by vines and bushes. I can close my eyes and see us there, my brother and I in our uniforms on our first day of Catholic school, my brother leaning over the railing to catch rain on his tongue, my father catching me sneaking away from my naptime.

But the river remains. The river always remains. And in my imagination I begin to erase the other places, the other buildings, through time. The Wal-Marts go, then the chain restaurants. The Japanese restaurant and the Vietnamese restaurants go. The methadone clinics go. The strip malls go. The housing developments go. The hospital, where I was born, goes. The post offices go. I-95 goes, and John F. Kennedy goes in a poof. The navy base goes. The Civilian Conservation Corps roads go. The Jacob Tome Institute goes. The schools go. The old stores on Main Street go. The power lines go. The cars. The churches. The stars come back, and the forests. The animals come back. The plantations go. The colonial settlements go. Their ships go back down the Chesapeake Bay. And now the Lenape and the Susquehannock are here. And now there is a singular ship from Virginia on the horizon, disappearing backward away from the river. 

That period—from 1608 until the establishment of the Maryland colony nearly three decades later—is the most unsettling time to think about. For during that time there may have still been the belief among the Susquehannock and the Lenape and the Nanticokes that things might go a different way, that the Dutch to the north and the English to the south would remain in place and present no threat to the sovereignty of the tribes around the Chesapeake. But that is not how empires work—

“Empire,” French, thirteenth or fourteenth century. From the Latin imperium. Command, order; power, authority, government; rule; military authority; the state; EMPIRE; Imperium Romanum, the ROMAN EMPIRE.

There is no stopping an empire. It will spread itself to the point of total exhaustion or collapse. It is a machine that has an infinite appetite and a bottomless need for resources. But how would the tribes have known?

And how could they have known that in the years after 1608, after John Smith had disappeared, an Englishman named George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore, a Catholic, had set out from Virginia to Newfoundland to establish a Catholic colony there? How could they have known that the weather had been too harsh, that he had gone back to Virginia to seek a better parcel? How could they have known that the Virginians would reject his request and send him back to the court of King Charles in England? How could they have known that the king, in his splendor and glory, would consult the maps of the New World, rest his finger on the Chesapeake Bay, and write out a charter for Calvert’s colony to be established there, which would be named for the queen, Henrietta Maria—Terra Mariae, Maryland?

They could not have known. Nor could they have known that George Calvert would die, and the charter would instead be granted to his son, Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, in the year of Their Lord 1632. They could not have known the text of the charter drawn up by the king and his court, which granted to Cecil Calvert the authority to “transport by his own industry and expense a numerous colony of the English nation, to a certain region, hereinafter described, in a country hitherto uncultivated in the parts of America, and partly occupied by savages having no knowledge of the Divine Being.” They could not possibly have known that the Lord Baltimore would appoint his brother, Leonard, to lead two ships, the Ark and the Dove, across the Atlantic to carry out the mandate of the charter, which Leonard Calvert would oversee as governor. They could not have known that these ships would land on the western banks of the Chesapeake on March 25, 1634, and that on this day a Mass would be performed. “In this place,” Father Andrew Waite, a priest among the colonial party, wrote in his diary, the mysteries of the Mass were held, and the colonists “erected a crosse, and with devotion tooke solemne possession of the Country.”

Downriver they established a town called Saint Marie’s, where “our plantation is seated” and met with the leader of the Piscataway tribe, who informed the colonists that “they had warres [with] the Sasquasahannockes” and sought to form an alliance with the English against these formidable enemies. “Digitus dei est hic”—This is the finger of God—proclaimed Father Waite, “and some great good is meant toward this people.”

Cecil County today looks either like a godforsaken wasteland or a tidewater Eden, depending on where you are and how much money is around. Route 40 cuts through the middle of the county and is lined with strip malls, pawn shops, billboards advertising the best lawyers or the best crabcakes or the notion that life begins at conception, bail bondsmen, used car dealerships, the county jail, and fast food. Set back from Route 40 are the towns of Perryville, North East, Rising Sun, and Elkton, which are charming in some places and neglected and poverty-stricken in others. The opioid crisis hit Cecil County hard, and it shows. Though the situation has improved somewhat since the height of the crisis in, say, 2013, no matter where you go in Cecil County, you are bound to run into someone in the throes of what I can only describe, based on witnessing people close to me descend into opiate and heroin addiction, as a waking hell. As you get away from Route 40 you get into the farms and the woods, which are gorgeous, and as you approach the water you get into the money. Here are the estates and the mansions that my mom and I pass in her Nissan and say to each other, as a kind of mantra, “I wonder who lives there.” There isn't much to do in Cecil County. We don't have a movie theater and we don't have a lot “going on.” When I was a teenager, my friends and I would go to Newark, Delaware, home of the University of Delaware, for stimulation, but in Cecil County I mostly read books, went on walks, and, if I was really bored, went to Wal-Mart in the evening to people watch (“The freaks come out at night,” according to the Whodini song, and also my mother, who avoids Wal-Mart after dark). As night closes in, so does the darkness of the woods, woods that seem to fold in on themselves and remind us that we really are “out here,” lightyears away from the big city.

All I ever wanted—and all my friends ever wanted—was to get out of Cecil County. In high school and at the library and on TV we began to realize that there was so much more out there than this, so many other people, so many other ways of thinking and being. The plan was straightforward enough: get to Los Angeles, or to New York, and keep moving. But as it turned out, despite what we saw on TV, people don't just show up in those places anymore. And so we adjusted the plan: some would go to Vermont, some to Delaware, some to Baltimore. One actually did go to New York, and I believe someone did make it to Los Angeles eventually. But others landed back where they started, their feet stuck in one of Mr. Johnston’s morasses. Some died. Back then we felt different, and thus we were different. Or so we thought; our entire sense of identity revolved around this belief, and the faith that we would leave and never look back. The last thing we wanted was to be “Cecil County people.”

People from Cecil County have a certain way of talking to one another, a certain set of givens that I imagine any “small town” community might have. The description at the top of this essay is, I think, a fairly typical one that might be heard from a high school student: viciously self-aware and self-deprecating, and all of it rooted in truth. There was a foreboding awareness among everyone I grew up with that we may never leave, that the Susquehanna and the Sassafras may in fact be the beginning and the end of our shared universe forever, that we might grow up and, like our parents’ generation, spend the rest of our lives running into each other at Food Lion, or at Wal-Mart, or at the Legion bar, or at Little League games, or at work. We may divvy ourselves up, as our parents have, in terms of “North East people,” or Perryville people, or Elkton people, or Rising Sun people, and go to our deathbeds clinging to the belief that there is some meaningful difference between any of these categories, and should that prove untrue, then at least there would be that one, inescapable constant: Cecil County.

How do people from here talk, exactly? There is on the one hand nihilism, the belief that this place is rotten and that there is no way out. That idea, assisted by the rivers and the state line, creates a cocoon not only from the rest of the state but from Pennsylvania and Delaware as well. We may be surrounded by farms on all sides, but there is something particular about our farms, apparently. I have always suspected that the Cecil County pride, the affected glee—concealing insecurity—with which we call ourselves rednecks from “Ceciltucky,” has to do with our proximity to the suburbs. We are far enough from the Baltimore suburbs to the west and the Philadelphia suburbs to the north and east for these cities to seem distant and almost theoretical. We are truly the country. Wherever we are, we are floating in the middle, too far from any major population center to identify with it. We are something very much our own, and anyone born here must come to terms, as I have been trying to for years, with what that means.

Everyone from here is resigned to Cecil County and at the same time defensive of it. “I hate the word Ceciltucky,” my mom says. “There’s so much more than that here.” Her principal argument, as well as my grandmother’s, is to point to the horse ranches in Chesapeake City. “Those are duPont horses,” they’ll say. “Those horses compete in the Preakness, the Kentucky Derby…” Those horses on their exquisite pastures offer some link to “gentility,” some bridge away from the honky-tonks, the fights that break out in parking lots, the poverty, the drug busts, the truck stops, the good ol’ boys. “She’s a Cecil County girl,” my brother said recently. “You can tell because she’s got a cigarette hangin’ out of her mouth and every other word she says is ‘shit.’” 

People from here can look “hard,” they can look “rough.” People here don’t extinguish their cigarettes until they are already halfway through the restaurant door. People here have court dates, prescriptions always in need of picking up. People here need WIC and they need methadone. They need Medicaid. They need hope, a commodity in short supply here, a fact that the snake oil salesmen in the Republican Party have long exploited, not only in Cecil County but in kindred communities around the country. “You’re wise to travel,” a nurse told me recently. “You get a whole different perspective than if you just stay in Cecil County.” And yet in leaving I have forsaken my claim of being “from” here, even though I spent my whole childhood here. I swam too far from the shore. Because I went away to New England for college, I was never fully woven into the social fabric. And so I do not see anyone I know at Wal-Mart, at Food Lion. I don’t know anyone here, really, except my family and the people they know, and as a result I barely even know Cecil County, my own home.

As I write this, I am aware that I am writing from a place of contempt and insecurity, a deep desire, and need, to distinguish myself from the “rednecks” and to prove myself as educated and upwardly mobile. I am also aware that I grew up during a time—the Bush years—when in the popular imagination wealth equalled dignity, period. Post-recession, post-Obama, post-2016, post-Bernie, post-Covid, that is no longer the case. The cracks in the economy have proven themselves to be chasms, into which even the most bright and hardworking may very well fall. The scorn for “white trash” has changed, now, to a desire to “capture the votes of the white working class.” We are talking about the same people here, but the imagery is different. “White trash” conjures the image of a trailer park, while “white working class” evokes a WPA mural. Calling someone “white trash” or “redneck” has evolved into a kind of slur, a kind of “classism.” Having in my own ancestry a line of hard-up people—people who lived on the side of a mountain in Virginia without plumbing or electricity—and having been on Medicaid, and having heard my fair share about court dates and methadone, and having spent the first eight years of my life in a trailer by the Susquehanna River—“the Palace by the Sea,” my mom called it, and all that is left now is that slab—I have complicated feelings about “classism.” On the one hand I think the government needs to take much more responsibility—i.e. put up the money for programs—to address the plight of the poor and the working class. Pay for their education, pay for their healthcare, and pay for it now. But when it comes to words like redneck and hillbilly, there is still the matter of Cecil County’s cardinal sin, committed by rich and poor alike, to consider: its racism. Paradoxically, I do understand what the “white working class” of Cecil County is going through, I really do, but it does not negate the hateful beliefs that I know many people here hold. I also know that not until those beliefs are stamped out will there be any hope of unified—and, by definition, diverse—progress for the working class. Part of the “Ceciltucky” identity—a large part—has to do with race. What distinguishes Cecil County from Baltimore and Philadelphia is not just distance, but the fact that it is eighty-nine percent white. 

What I know—and what drove me out of here in the first place, along with lack of opportunity—is that there is an ugly undercurrent running through “Ceciltucky,” a hostility toward anyone “different.” What I know is that there are Confederate flags flying around this county and Confederate stickers on the backs of trucks. This flag is but one symptom of the racial animosity here, the wounds that stubbornly refuse to close.

The idea that there is, within Maryland, a place where the Confederate flag is still regularly spotted comes as a surprise to many people. Maryland was not a Confederate state during the Civil War, and today the state at-large is considered a Democratic fortress. But the Democratic stronghold is actually Baltimore, along with the liberal suburbs which surround Washington, D.C. Seven of Maryland’s eight congressional districts have been sufficiently gerrymandered so as to guarantee that they send Democrats to Washington, but District 1, which contains all of the Eastern Shore as well as Cecil County and much of Harford County, is deep, crimson red. Its representative in Congress, Dr. Andrew Harris, is a member of the far-right Freedom Caucus. Among his claims to fame is a 2014 designation by the Human Rights Campaign as being one of the country’s “most anti-equality members of Congress,” partially due to his support for a constitutional amendment which would ban same-sex marriage (same-sex marriage was legalized in Maryland in 2012, three years before the nationwide mandate). In the 2018 election, his Democratic opponent made some gains on the vote, but he was still stomped. The primacy of Republican politics is apparent in the names of the party apparatuses here in Cecil County. On the left we have the Democratic Club, and on the right we have the Republican Central Committee—which sounds more serious to you?

We used to send Democrats to the House of Delegates in Annapolis, the state capital. One of the most well-known names around here when I was growing up was that of Dave Rudolph, a former middle school principal who spent twenty years in the legislature. He is an enormous man with a baritone voice, and he used to command a lot of respect around here. But he, like the other country Democrats in Maryland, could not survive the wave of racialized hyperpartisanship that took hold of the whole country during the Obama years, and as all politics became national (Delegate David Rudolph of Perryville shouldered some responsibility for federal immigration policy, apparently), he lost his seat in Annapolis. So too did my high school friend’s mom, Mary-Dulany James, Democrat and member of the famous Dulany political dynasty of Maryland. Her authority and tenacity were assumed secure enough to land her a seat on the Appropriations Committee, but she, too, was forced to vacate her seat, after sixteen years in the legislature.

College friends who have visited Cecil County have left bewildered. “That is one of the most interesting places I have ever been,” said one. “Havre de Grace [nearby in Harford County] is so fucked up,” said another. “I felt like I was in Georgia or something,” said another. “I mean, it really felt like the South.”

Here is a clue to Cecil County: the question as to whether or not Maryland is part of “the South.” “For a displaced Yankee,” says a 1989 Washington Post travel piece,

the upper Chesapeake is the South, too, though I will concede that sons and daughters of the Old Confederacy may think otherwise. I use as a determining criterion for this the breakfast litmus test. Cecil County is the first place on the Eastern seaboard where a traveler heading south may be offered a choice of home fries or grits with breakfast.

(I was never offered grits with breakfast). Barbara Mills writes in her 2002 book “Got My Mind Set on Freedom” that “Maryland has always been a state in the middle—part southern, part northern—both in the way it has dealt with race issues, and in the way it is perceived.” (I agree).

Maryland is, technically speaking, the beginning of the South, for the Mason-Dixon Line, which forms the northern and eastern borders of the state, was once the official dividing line. I once saw a postcard declaring North East, my hometown, “the gateway to the South.” But you will never hear anyone here call themselves “Southern,” or a “Marylander,” for that matter. What they call themselves is a “Cecil county hillbilly,” though there are no hills. We are a border state and, as a result, something in between, something that only outsiders can objectively perceive. “The Yankees are here,” my great grandmother from Virginia would say when we visited. But in Vermont I was once asked, “Why don’t you have a southern accent like everyone else in your family?” I had never thought of their accent as southern, but the truth is that I coached myself out of the Maryland accent, to sound more northern.  We never went north on family trips. New England may as well have been another planet. We only ever went “down”—to Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, places where the heat and the fireflies seemed more connected to Cecil County than anything past the “Old Line.”

Some people have a much different criterion than grits for determining where the South begins. “There were plantations there,” I have been told, twice. “There were slaves there,” I have been told, twice. “It’s the South.”

The question of political symbols, namely flags and statues, is as a result very interesting to me. During the Civil War, sympathy for the Confederacy was strong among the general population of Maryland. Riots occurred in Baltimore in 1861 when a train of Union soldiers arrived on their way to reinforce Washington. The state, I learned recently, was on the brink of seceding. John Wilkes Booth, who shot Abraham Lincoln, emancipator of the slaves, in the back of the head, was from Bel Air, in Harford County, just forty-five minutes from my house. The state song, “Maryland, My Maryland,” is an anti-Union song. “The despot’s heel is on thy shore,” it begins, referring to Washington, D.C., and later, referring to the 1861 riots, calls on us to:

Avenge the patriotic gore

That flecked the streets of Baltimore…

But the fact stands that this was not the Confederacy. The Confederate flag represents hate everywhere, of course, but in a state that was never loyal to Richmond and therefore cannot claim “Confederate heritage” at all, I think the hate stands in particularly bold relief.

There is an element of extreme danger here, something that anyone from Cecil County knows if they are not white or not straight, for to take pride in being a “hillbilly” or a “redneck” is to not-so-implicitly take pride in being white and straight, and to fly a Confederate flag is to find valor in the cause of a violent rogue state whose raison d’être was the preservation of slavery—a brutal regime of kidnapping, torture, rape, and general dehumanization. “The snows of the Tyrol, the clear beer of Vienna, are not very pure or true,” Sylvia Plath once told us. And in that vein I can sense something dark, something ominous and wrong, in what Father Waite wrote in 1634:

I will end therefore with the soyle, which is excellent so that we cannot sett downe a foot, but tread on Strawberries, raspires, fallen mulberrie vines, acchorns, walnutts, saxafras etc: and those in the wildest woods...It abounds with delicate springs which are our best drinke...the place abouunds not alone with profit, but also with pleasure.

Lord Baltimore’s inherited lust for the Chesapeake was complicated not only the local tribes, but by a man named William Claiborne. Claiborne, a Virginian statesman or “pirate,” depending on who you ask, had, prior to the arrival of Leonard Calvert and his settlers in 1634, established his own fur trading posts in the Chesapeake Bay. But inconveniently for Claiborne, the Maryland charter inked by King Charles included the territory where his trading posts were located. The largest of these was on Kent Island, but Claiborne had also, as early as 1627, established another on Garrett Island, then known as Palmer’s Island, thereby initiating white colonization of the land now called Cecil County. 

Claiborne had also been a key figure in rejecting George Calvert’s petition for land in Virginia, which commenced decades of bad blood between him and the Calvert family, bad blood which would in time erupt into armed conflict on land and sea. When Leonard Calvert and his ships set out from England in 1634, at the top of his to-do list, in addition to dealing with the “savages,” was to deal with William Claiborne. This would be a delicate task considering the Calverts' fraught history with the Virginians. Lord Baltimore instructed his brother to find Claiborne immediately and to tell him that he could stay in the Chesapeake, provided that he recognize the sovereignty of Maryland. Claiborne declined to do so. Lord Baltimore was displeased, complaining in a September 1634 letter to English Secretary of State Francis Windebank of “Clayborne’s malicious behaviour to me and my plantation there” and seeking “encouragement in assisting me against Clayborne’s unlawfull proceedings there.” In 1638 an expedition departed from Saint Mary’s to Kent Island to seize Claiborne’s property on the grounds that he was “guilty of Piracy and murder.” Johnston reports that a similar seizure occurred on Palmer’s Island in 1637. Claiborne spent the rest of his life bickering with the Calverts and, on trips to England, challenging the validity of their charter, his cries falling on increasingly deaf ears.

The documents from this period, which over the centuries have been coated in a mollases-like sludge of reverence for the past, reverence for “conquest” and “heroism,” read, to contemporary eyes, as a staggering testament to greed, cruelty, and pettiness. The documents display neither humility nor restraint, but rather a single-minded, sociopathic thirst by all of the colonial parties for one thing: land. All of the smoke and mirrors about God, about the king, about charters and grievances, barely conceal the fact that this period of history was orchestrated in bad faith and in the spirit of shortsighted, ruthless ambition carried out by disease-addled white men whose teeth were rotting out of their faces. Cecil Calvert, Lord Baltimore, never even set foot in Maryland; his administration was carried out—for forty-two years—from his estate in England. And yet in his name, under his black and yellow banner, one chapter in the saga of indigenous extermination would soon be carried out—swiftly—by a cabal of religious fanatics in the subtropical marshes and steaming forests of the Chesapeake region, where they had no legitimate business, excluding their own narcissism and greed, to be in the first place.

What to do with these “savages?” The English, allied with the Piscataway, could tolerate the Susquehannock for a time but decided after a few years that enough was enough. On September 13, 1642, in Saint Mary’s City, Governor Leonard Calvert, brother of Cecil, Lord Baltimore, declared war: “These are to publish & declare that the Sesquihanowes, Wicomeses, and Nantacoque Indians, are enemies of this Province, and as such are to be reputed & proceeded against by all persons.” The declaration was ostensibly a response to a Susquehannock attack on an Englishman which had occurred on Kent Island, but the true motive—as with the pursuit of Claiborne—was Calvert’s desire to seize control of the Eastern Shore. In short order an army and the requisite taxes were raised to send an “expedition” into the Susquehannocks’ territory to carry out Calvert’s orders. There would be three such expeditions in the following two years, each of them less successful than the last and each of them further undermining Governor Calvert’s faith in his soldiers. Though the provincial government was determined to annihilate the Susquehannock, according to one account, “the people generally did not relish at all the idea of measuring arms with them.” But the Calverts knew that theirs was a long game, and the third and final expeditionary force was dispatched in the winter of 1643.

It did not go well. In 1644 the Susquehannock vanquished the army of Lord Baltimore, took a number of prisoners, refused to ransom them, tortured them, and killed them. Agents of Governor Calvert instructed their soldiers to attempt to form a peace with the Susquehannock. This effort failed. And so for the next eight years the provincial government found itself in a state of constant defense against the Susquehannock, who continued raids against the English—the Marylanders—long after the botched 1643-44 expedition. Colonial records from this period show a government gripped by fear and chaos.

In fact it was not colonial might, but rather desperation on the part of the Susquehannock, which led them to seek an eventual treaty with the English in 1652. During the same period they were engaged in armed resistance against the colonists, the Susquehannock had also been battling the more powerful Iroquois tribes. But the Iroquois were closing in, and Susquehannock tribal leaders, in one of the many tragic ironies of the day, concluded that their only hope for survival rested with the English in Saint Mary’s. Delegations from both sides were dispatched to the banks of the Severn River, the present location of Annapolis, where a treaty was signed. The Susquehannock, having lost the upper hand, had no choice but to make extraordinary concessions to the colonists. Nearly all of the land they controlled on either bank of the Chesapeake was ceded to the government in Saint Mary’s, providing the Calverts the land they needed to lift the struggling Maryland out of complete obscurity and irrelevance and depriving the Susquehannock of their land—and therefore their means for survival. Though the treaty was written as a land-sharing agreement, it was clear who the new masters of the Chesapeake were. In time the Susquehannock would abandon the Chesapeake region altogether and cast their lot with the more powerful Five Nations tribes further north.

Modern-day Cecil County was among the spoils of the 1652 treaty. In the following years, the area would remain sparsely settled, either by the colonists or by the Susquehannock. The Susquehannock, for their part, had been severely weakened in 1652, paving the way for white domination of their land. In the upper Chesapeake, that domination began in earnest with the 1658 settlement of Carpenter’s Point, followed the next year by the arrival of a Bohemian aristocrat named Augustine Herrman. Herrman, who was born in Prague, had been aligned with the Dutch in Manhattan until a fallout with the Director General of New Netherland, Petrus Stuyvesant. Afterwards he went south and made a deal with the Calverts: in exchange for creating a detailed map of the Chesapeake Bay, he would be rewarded thousands of acres in modern-day Cecil County, a plantation that he would dub “Bohemia Manor,” a grandiose nod to his homeland.

Let us now briefly return to the Ark and the Dove, among whose passengers were two men of color believed to have boarded in Barbados, John Price and Mathis da Sousa, the latter of whom was the indentured servant of a certain Father Andrew Waite. In 1638, four years after the Ark and the Dove touched down, the first slaves arrived in Maryland, when a colonial official informed Governor Calvert that he had purchased “ten negroes...for your lordship’s use.” And let us move along to 1642, a busy year in the history of white supremacy in Terra Mariae, for this was the year that Governor Leonard Calvert “bargained” for twelve more slaves.

The slave trade was slow to take hold in Maryland. The colony was small and “procured her slaves in ones and twos from Virginia and the West Indies” at first, according to the historian Hugh Thomas. In 1664, Governor Charles Calvert, frustrated that the Royal Company of Adventurers in London wouldn’t sell him an “entire cargo” of slaves, wrote to Lord Baltimore that “I find we are not men of estates good enough to undertake such a business” but that “we are naturally inclined to love negroes, if our purses could take it.” That same year, the colonial government enshrined the ideology of white domination into the law with its passage of the Act Concerning Negroes and Other Slaves, which stated that “all blacks and other slaves either within the colony or thereafter imported into the colony, as well as their children, shall be slaves for life.” However it was not until 1685 that the slave trade kicked into full gear in Maryland, when the Royal African Company dispatched its ship Speedwell to the Gambia River, filled it with 200 people, and transported them to the Potomac River. Following a landowners’ revolt against the Calverts in 1689, plantations became more powerful throughout the colony, which caused the demand for slaves to increase dramatically. In 1698 it was reported by the governor in Saint Mary’s that 470 slaves were brought to Maryland in that year alone, and “importation” numbers ballooned from there. The Maryland Archives report that “while fewer than one thousand Africans arrived in Maryland between 1619 and 1697, nearly 100,000 disembarked during the three quarters of a century prior to the American Revolution.” One third of the population of Maryland was from Africa by 1755.

Slave records from the seventeenth century are fairly spotty, but it is clear that slaves were in Cecil County during this period. Augustine Herrman brought “servants” with him from New Amsterdam in 1659, and he certainly brought slaves too. By 1674—the year that Cecil County was founded—slaves were harvesting tobacco at Bohemia Manor, according to the Cecil Historical Journal. And according to the Cecil County Historical Society, in the 1600s there would have been slaves working as ferry operators and in the homes of other rich landowners throughout the county as well. In 1704 a Jesuit mission was also established at Bohemia Manor. The priests brought slaves with them. A 1712 census of the county listed two hundred eighty-five slaves within its borders that year. In 1722, according to a nineteenth-century account of Bohemia Manor, Augustine Herrman’s descendants were “enjoying the heritage of lands and slaves and other wealth which [their] ancestors had accumulated,” and by 1761 there were nearly one hundred slaves at Bohemia Manor alone. 

Augstine Herrman had been, since his arrival to New Amsterdam in the 1640s, involved in the slave trade, trafficking slaves and moving goods in exchange for tobacco with the Virginians and acting as an intermediary between the Dutch and English markets in the New World. The historian Christian Koot suggests that Herrman had a pretty wink-nudge mentality toward both the Dutch and the English; imperial loyalty didn’t mean much to him as long as he was getting rich. According to Koot, Herrman, in a particularly Godfather-esque moment in 1659, during a trip to Saint Mary’s to pitch the establishment of an overland trade route between Bohemia Manor and Delaware, pulled Governor Calvert aside to assure him that the plan would enrich “not only his province in general, but himself personally.” Herrman got a lot cozier with the Calverts as he settled into his role as the master of Bohemia Manor and discovered that his slaves—the labor which netted his profits—could run away. To mitigate this possibility, he proposed that the Maryland government pay for the construction of a “Logg house Prison . . . for the Surety & Safe keeping of Runnawayes & ffugetives” at Bohemia Manor. The government acquiesced in 1669, providing Herrman ten thousand pounds of tobacco in exchange for him to build, on his property, a twenty-by-twenty foot jail to hold runaway slaves.

By 1790, there were 3,407 slaves among the population of Cecil County. Bohemia Manor was not the only plantation here. Another famous estate was the Mount Harmon Plantation, which is open for tours today. And luckily for the affianced, Mount Harmon, “one of the region’s most historic and beautiful plantations,” according to its website, is also available, with rates starting at fifteen hundred dollars, for weddings, which is good news “for those who love pastoral waterfront settings and old world grandeur.”

It is clear that from Day One the seeds of racial domination were sprouting in Cecil County, Maryland. How brutally they would grow is obviously far beyond the scope of anything I can say here. But in speaking to the present, I would like to address one aspect of that domination in particular, and that is the Klan.

The presence of the Ku Klux Klan in Rising Sun and Cecil County generally is one of the stories passed around most by people from here. It is difficult to find conclusive information online, but to illustrate the point, here are a few stories. A 1965 AP writeup in the New York Times tells of a rally in Rising Sun, where “a crowd of some 2,000 persons gathered in a cow pasture near this Cecil County community tonight for the first Ku Klux Klan rally in Maryland in more than 40 years.” But that was fifty years ago. A February 2018 editorial published in DelmarvaNow states that “the town of Rising Sun in Cecil County is the Maryland headquarters for the KKK,” but the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups, does not have an entry for the Klan in Rising Sun (they do list the KKK as a statewide hate group, though).

In May of 2017, the Pennsylvania-based Patriot News reported on a cross burning scheduled to be held in Quarryville, Pennsylvania, and organized by the East Coast Knights of the True Invisible Empire: “The KKK chapter—based in Rising Sun Md.—posted about the event on Stormfront, an online forum for white nationalists and other extremists.” The planned event drew significant regional attention from the media, but it is unclear if the cross burning actually occurred. A user named “Klavalier,” who announced the event on Stormfront and who in a separate post states that they are from Cecil County, posted a few days later that “it was a great cross lighting with great speakers,” but that “after hearing that the media were gonna try to come we sent them to another part of the county away from us.” “I have not spoken to anyone who saw anything,” Quarryville Police Chief Kenneth Work told PhillyVoice. Chief Work had earlier acknowledged, though, that the event might take place on private land, out of sight.

What did occur, in public, on the record, with material evidence—including photographs, audio recordings, and paperwork filed with the County—was a December 2013 gathering of the Confederate Knights of the KKK at the Cecil County Administration Building in Elkton. The event was held by the group’s founder and “Imperial Wizard,” Richard Wilson Preston Jr., of Baltimore, who, according to the Baltimore Sun, “chose Cecil County for its conservative politics. The county has a long history with the KKK.” The Sun estimates that about fifty people attended the meeting, under heavy police “protection.” According to the Sun, two years later, Preston purchased a dilapidated house in Harford County to hold Klan meetings and cross burnings (a British film crew from ITV captured one such event on camera, as well as the initiation rites of a new recruit). And two years after that, on August 12, 2017, at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Preston took out a handgun and fired it at a black protester. He was subsequently arrested.

Obviously racism does not begin and end with white hoods, but I bring them up to show how ugly and how visible the racial hatred is in Cecil County. The state at large is deeply racist (see: Baltimore Police Department), but in my mind and in the public imagination of Maryland, Cecil County exists as a particularly foul province of that racism. I’m white, which means I’m not in a position to say whether things are getting better or worse, but I think the belligerent specter of the Ku Klux Klan is one indicator.

“This place is still so racist,” someone told me of Cecil County, on my most recent trip home. “It’s 2019,” he said, exasperated, and continued: “I was on the football team in high school, ten years ago, maybe, and we had a game at North East High School”—home of the Indians—“and the coach said to be careful, they don’t like your kind here.” I recall my mother telling me that the Klan marched down Main Street in North East in the 1980s. I recall an attack on Perryville High School, where vandals spray painted racist epithets, including “KKK,” on the building and sidewalks. I recall that Klan meeting at the County offices in December of 2013. At the time I emailed a county official to ask why this was allowed, and his response was that the group had filed the proper paperwork. I recall learning recently that Rising Sun was not long ago considered a “sundown town,” that is, a town where, if you were black, it was not safe to go out after sunset.

Three years ago, in the days following the Charlottesville riot, as the debate over Confederate statues raged throughout the South, the mayor of Baltimore, Catherine Pugh, quietly ordered work crews to remove four Confederate statues from the city under cover of night. “I heard all this noise at like four in the morning,” a resident of Baltimore told me recently, “and I looked out the window and saw them taking the statue away.”

Mayor Pugh provided no prior notice that the statues would be taken down. She had announced her intention to remove them earlier in the year, and her predecessor, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake—who did not seek reelection following the Freddie Gray uprising of 2015—also looked into the matter. But it was undoubtedly the Charlottesville riots which occurred just days earlier, and which had begun as a demonstration by neo-Nazis—including Baltimore Klansman Richard Wilson Preston Jr.—and other far-right groups to protest the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue in that city, that drove Pugh to act swiftly and quietly, in order to prevent a similar catastrophe in Baltimore. “If the mayor wants to protect, or feels she needs to protect, the public,” she said, sleep-deprived, at a press conference early the next morning, “she has the right to keep her community safe.”

“Get it done,” she said. And she did. Between the hours of midnight and five o’ clock A.M. on August 16, 2017, four Confederate statues—the Robert E. Lee monument, the Stonewall Jackson monument, the Confederate Soldiers and Sailors monument, and the Confederate Women monument—were unbolted from their pedestals, loaded onto flatbed trucks, and whisked away before the sun had risen over Baltimore City.

“Good riddance,” is what someone told a New York Times reporter.

Mayor Catherine Pugh, Baltimore, August 16, 2017

The pedestals, to this day, are empty. My friend happens to live in the Mount Vernon neighborhood of Baltimore, where one of those pedestals sits. It is situated in an elegant park, lush with manicured bushes and trees and graced by marble collonades, fountains, bronze cherubs and nymphs. Rising dramatically from the center of the park is an enormous, phallic tower, atop which stands a statue of George Washington. The Baltimore City flag, in fact, features this monument, against the backdrop of the black-and-yellow Calvert banner. And the neighborhood itself is named after General Washington’s Mount Vernon plantation in Virginia.

That plantation, the Mount Vernon Estate, is owned and maintained by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association and is open for tours. Literature from the Ladies’ Association indicates that Washington owned three hundred eighteen slaves, who resided on the plantation, at the time of the General’s death in 1799. “It was true that his will stipulated that his slaves should be freed upon his death,” says a book I got when I toured Mount Vernon as a kid, “but did this make him ‘democratic’ on the level of an Abraham Lincoln?”

No.

“In other countries,” said the journalist Angela Nagle during a panel discussion at the Guggenheim in 2018, “toppling statues is a sign of regime change. Americans think they can do this without recognizing its significance.” In other words, the statues may be gone, but polite society expects that life will go on as usual. I can’t decide if I agree with her. The empty pedestals are obviously significant, in that they represent a civic reconfiguration of space and memory in Baltimore, a city which is sixty-three percent African-American. But that reconfiguration is of course limited. There is bound to be more agreement on taking down Confederate statues—they lost the war after all, and besides that Maryland fought with the Union—than there would be if the Mayor of Baltimore determined that the Washington statue should come down. The Confederates threatened the Union, but the General—captor of three hundred eighteen innocent human beings—inaugurated it. And we accept that.

Clearly there is some unspoken rule that certain people are off limits. “George Washington was a slave owner,” said Donald Trump, at his chilling “both sides” press conference following Charlottesville. “Was George Washington a slave owner? So will George Washington now lose his status? Are we gonna take down—excuse me—are we gonna take down, are we gonna take down statues to George Washington?” 

Sure, why not? But of course, as Trump knew, that was not going to happen. That would be a bridge too far, because it would undermine one of our chief national symbols. Symbol of what, exactly? And just as importantly, it would undermine the authority of Donald Trump himself, who, like every president, derives his legitimacy from the transition of power that has occurred every several years going all the way back to Washington.

The east coast is overflowing with these national symbols, grand statues and paintings and buildings that harken back to the early days. Maybe because I’ve been out of the country for a few years—and specifically because I was in Japan, which was largely leveled during World War II and which had to rebuild many of its major cities in the 1950s—I was especially sensitive to them on my most recent trip home. I found myself looking at them with fresh eyes and, for the first time in my life, really wanting to know about the colonial period. After doing this little bit of research, I walked away feeling like the colonial days must have been nightmarish and carnivalesque. The blood, stench, swampiness, murder, extermination, and misery of the colonies are bubbling just beneath the surface of the documents I’ve been reading, and it’s all bubbling in the old buildings, statues, and paintings around here too. One of the most disturbing items I came across is that horrific portrait at the top of this essay which depicts Cecil Calvert, Lord Baltimore, handing Herrman’s map of the Chesapeake, overlaid with the Calvert seal, to his glowing white grandson as a young slave looks on. I was floored to learn—and see with my own eyes—that that creepy, racist painting is hanging in the lobby of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, where it lurks over patrons using the public computers as I write this. Why? 

The ghosts of the past—and not just the Confederacy—are everywhere if you look closely, looming over all of us, but over some more than others. And that’s just…how it is? The argument can hardly be made that all of these artifacts display artistic merit that must be preserved. A lot of these paintings and statues and buildings, especially in D.C. and Baltimore, are notoriously tacky and overwrought. But preservation on the grounds of artistic merit isn’t the argument at all. The argument is that we keep them because they’re old, because they form a physical terrain of nationhood, not in the past, but right now. And what are they telling us, exactly?

“Look at the ceiling,” a guide said to my group on a tour of the United States Capitol last August. We were standing in the Rotunda beneath the dome (“You could fit the Statue of Liberty in here”), a room at once grand and claustrophobic. On the ceiling was a mural of angels, or at least that’s what I thought. “This mural is called The Apotheosis of Washington,” the guide continued. “Does anyone know what apotheosis means?” As I awaited her answer I stared at a huge painting on the other side of the room, The Baptism of Pocahontas, which shows the eponymous subject in a white gown, on her knees, surrounded by white colonists, receiving her Christian rites. “Apotheosis means ‘elevation to a god-like status.’ You can see George Washington there, wearing pink. In this painting, George Washington has been transformed into a god!”

Just beyond the Rotunda is the office of the Speaker of the House, and in that moment I suddenly thought of her, striding beneath the dome, her entourage in tow, cloaked in the splendor and glory of the American Speakership, splendor and glory attached—derived, even—from that massive Greco-Roman building, its sculptures and paintings, which she would pass and contemplate as her shoes tapped on the marble floor, her heart welling as she passed beneath the eyes of General-cum-President-cum-deity Washington and past the averted eyes of Pocahontas, on her way to execute her solemn duties to our Constitution and our nation.

“We have the ugliest money,” I once said to my coworker, Joe, in Japan. “That horrible green color. Other countries have colorful money and nature and shit like that on it. And women. Who even cares about George Washington anymore?”

“Yeah, and when I heard his teeth weren’t made of wood…”

“Really? What were they made of? Ivory?”

“No.” He paused for a moment and looked uncharacteristically grim. “They came from slaves.”

In school I barely heard a peep about the indigenous tribes or the slaves in Maryland. Why? Why is it that the entire basis of the colony is an off-limits subject? Bringing up either topic invites a kind of yeesh reaction, a “Move along, folks,” a tugging of the collar, before quickly changing the subject. Why is there a statue of a slaveholder gazing across a majority African-American city, a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess,” a “dangerous & filthy place,” a place where “no human being would want to live,” according to tweets composed by the President of the United States? 

Clearly the symbols of history mean something in the present, telegraph something urgent from the past, because otherwise why would the Confederate statues have come down? I am reminded once more of Angela Nagle’s statement about regime change. There is change in the air, no doubt, but regime change? As statues continue to fall in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, we may soon find out the answer to that question. Whereas the statues that fell in 2017 seemed to be doing so in relative isolation, now they are falling in the context of a global revolt against racism and police brutality. But for now the symbols of the regime are still all around us—the Calvert flag, the Confederate flag, the Washington statues, the Washington mural in the Capitol, gazing down from within that “temple of democracy.” Temple for whom? I don’t claim to have a solution to any of this. Like all Americans I am engaged in the double-think of living in a democracy that is situated on blood-soaked land. And as a white American I am a direct beneficiary of not only the colonial conquest but the centuries of racist policy that followed it. But it would appear that since Minneapolis we are more engaged than ever with our own violent, racist history, and not just the history of the Confederacy. I believe this engagement is a crucial piece of this moment, considering that our politics and government derive their authority from that history and those people.

How far can this engagement go? Is it really possible to deprogram the warped, delusional mind of the white supremacist? I am not sure. It would be dramatic to say I am hopeless about Cecil County. There are plenty of good, reasonable people there. But the ideas about who we are, what we came from, and what is possible or not possible are deeply entrenched. Right now someone there is watching Channel 13 News—“Live from Television Hill in Baltimore, this is WJZ!”—which pumps a constant, racist, sensationalist feed of every shooting and every robbery that occurs in Baltimore City into the hinterland. Trump’s tweets about Baltimore were met primarily with shrugs in Cecil County, because if all you watch is Channel 13, nothing he said is untrue. Baltimore City is where you go to get shot, according to Channel 13, and it will be by a black man, and that man will look like the mugshots that are broadcast daily into the houses around the state. “Be careful,” is what I am often told before I head to the city, which might as well be a war zone according to many people, including the forty-fifth President of the United States. But now we are post-Minneapolis, post-uprising. Now everything is on the table.

Throughout Maryland are bronze historical markers, emblazoned with the state seal, which point out notable sites. One such marker is located along the Susquehanna River, near Route 222, in Port Deposit. Route 222 is one of Cecil County’s more “primeval” roads, a tunnel through densely-growing trees, the underbrush cut through by the asphalt, the waters of the Susquehanna spilling over the nearby rocks. This marker is for “Smith’s Falls”:

In 1608 Captain John Smith ascended the Susquehannah River until stopped by the rocks. On his map he calls this point “Smyths Fales” marking it by a [cross] which he explains as meaning “hath bin discovered what beyond is by relation”.

What is not marked is the site of the famous “Bald Friar” petroglyphs of the Susquehannock, which were carved into the rocks just north of the plaque. In 1926, prior to the construction of the Conowingo Dam, a team from the Maryland Academy of Sciences was dispatched to the Susquehanna, with dynamite, to blast the rocks out of the ground and scatter the petroglyphs around the state in order to “rescue” them, which in practice meant using them as decorations for various state and county buildings. The petroglyphs that were left behind in the river were swamped as the water rose behind the newly-constructed dam.

The historical markers which line the roads, often placed somewhere seemingly indistinct, some overgrown clutch of trees, some mound of rock and weeds, some embankment sloping toward some pool of muddy water or clutter of boulders, remind us that once upon a time the Great Seal of Maryland, with its cryptic Latin motto inherited from the Calverts—Fatti Maschii, Parole Femine (“Manly Deeds, Womanly Words”)—had no sovereign claim here. Once upon a time these trees and rocks and rivers belonged to the Susquehannock, and perhaps in the rapacious eyes of the colonial gangs dispatched by Leonard Calvert, they always would, for the victory of those colonists was by no means certain, as the Susquehannock defeat of the English in 1644 so clearly demonstrated. “The honor and safety of the English” were taken into account by the colonial government that year, during the failed peace talks. And during those same talks, medallions were presented to the Susquehannock which they were told would allow them to freely enter English territory upon their presentation: 

The token which was given these Susquehannock Indians, as safe conduct, was a medal of copper, with a black and yellow ribbon attached...The Maryland troops, in a dastardly way, thirty years later, broke the faith signified by the medals, and shot down five defenseless Susquehannock chiefs, who came to treat with the medals in their hands. (Henry Frank Eshleman, 1909)

Such betrayals and sleights-of-hand abound in the colonial records, for the forces of Lord Baltimore were, to say the least, ill-equipped, requiring the government to lean on treachery rather than skill. The romanticized image of those days would have us picture a flurry of arrows flying toward the more technologically sophisticated invaders, but in fact it was Dutch guns and Dutch bullets obtained by the Susquehannock which defeated the soldiers of Lord Baltimore in 1644, in a land his men did not or could not comprehend except in terms of its capacity to produce tobacco.

In recent years a “maritime trail,” with markers up and down the Chesapeake, has been established to commemorate the voyage of John Smith, his “discovery” of this land for the English. It is worth repeating, of course, that this land was not discovered by John Smith at all but mapped by him, and these maps were probably indispensable to the English soldiers who battled the Susquehannock in the decade following the establishment of Terra Mariae—Mary Land, Maryland—for control of the places he documented. And of course we hear very little about the Susquehannock or the Lenape or the Nanticokes, except in a brief, salutatory manner acknowledging that, yes, people once lived here, people before John Smith. But for “our” purposes in 2020, centuries later, and for the purposes of maintaining faith in this nation, this state, this “former colony,” our understanding of the place must be rooted in reverence and thanks to Captain Smith and to the arrival of the Ark and the Dove to the city of Saint Mary’s in 1634, Digitus dei est hic, God Save the King. What and who were here in the “primeval forests” before those ships touched down is hard to say, we are told. The records are spotty or nonexistent, we are told, and anyway that was four hundred years ago.

I suspect that this information, like the information about the plantations which existed in this county and throughout this state, is obscured on the grounds that it would shake our faith in the institutions and symbols of the country and its constituent former colonies, the thirteen which, we are told, shook off the tyranny of the Crown to establish our glorious republic. If children were told that their history began not so much with the stroke of King Charles’ pen in England and the authority he thereby granted to Cecil Calvert, Lord Baltimore, but with the bloodshed that followed that signature, the battles which occurred in the creeks and rivers and woods that they pass every day on their way to school, the disease which would eventually spread across those creeks to find the Susquehannock long after they had fled, the slave plantations that were erected on their land once they had gone, they may begin to ask themselves legitimate questions about authority and sovereignty. What good is the Great Seal or the flag of the Calverts, still flying over every state building today, other than their fraudulent claim to the land, land which was so clearly never the Calverts’ to begin with? How eternal can this government, or this nation, actually be, when not so long ago the very existence of this colony was considered purely theoretical and by no means guaranteed to be a success? And what right, in light of the shifting locations of sovereignty and power, does any of us truly have to speak of “our” nation, as juxtaposed to whatever or whomever happens to be the most convenient object of political scorn—“them”—at a given moment? 

I suspect that young people’s understanding of this state and the country it would help form may be tested if they came to regard this county less as the imperial birthright of Cecil, Lord Baltimore—for whom the county is named—but as the former site of those primeval forests where the Susquehannock battled the English, those same forests through which, two hundred years later, Frederick Douglass would flee on the northbound train which took him from Baltimore to Wilmington, then on to Philadelphia. “The train was moving at a very high rate of speed for that time of railroad travel,” he tells us,

but to my anxious mind, it was moving far too slowly. Minutes were hours, and hours were days during this part of my flight. After Maryland I was to pass through Delaware—another slave State, where slave catchers generally awaited their prey, for it was not in the interior of the State, but on its borders, that these human hounds were most vigilant and active.

The train from Baltimore stopped in Havre de Grace, on the western banks of the Susquehanna, where Douglass boarded a ferry. That ferry sailed past Garrett Island and made landfall in Perryville, where the next train awaited. That train steamed through the fields and forests of Cecil County, just sixty miles north of Tuckahoe, Maryland, where Douglass was born into slavery. It crossed then into Delaware, and eventually onward to Philadelphia.

Today there is an additional flag flying over Cecil County. I can see it now, on my neighbor’s porch, from my bedroom window. It is red, white, blue, and emblazoned with those unmistakable letters, T-R-U-M-P, billowing in the late summer breeze. I cannot recall ever seeing an Obama flag, or a McCain flag, or a Bush flag, or a Kerry flag, or any flag with a politician’s name on it flying from someone’s porch. That is because flags symbolize movements, nations, armies—not people. And yet here I have my answer. The Trump flag, like the American flag, like the Confederate flag, like the Maryland flag, symbolizes something bigger, something psychological, something primeval. It symbolizes an idea that reaches so far beyond Trump the man, so much further back through history. It flies, as the Calvert flag did, to say that this is ours, not yours. These forests and morasses are still ours, as they have been since 1652, and do not forget that.

You know who you are.

At a marina in Havre de Grace there is a whole fleet of sailboats moored, the kind of image you’d see in a gift shop oil painting. They bob in the warm waters of the Susquehanna, waters that smell like my childhood, mossy and yet clean. They bob, and their masts sway back and forth against the cloudy August sky, and atop those masts, fluttering in the breeze, are the Trump flags, scores of them, the colors of this armada.

From the riverbank, I look toward the train departing Perryville. This train is heading toward Baltimore, Baltimore of the toppled statues, Baltimore of rainbow flags, Baltimore of museums, universities, artists, Elijah Cummings, Black Lives Matter, the NAACP. The train lurches south and crosses the old railroad bridge over the Susquehanna, passes Garrett Island, dark and, I suspect, cursed. The train moves over the sailboats and their Trump flags, the latest permutation of whatever primordial ugliness refuses to be exorcised from this place that I call home. The train picks up speed, and my belief is once again affirmed that the only way out of Cecil County—truly, spiritually out—is out.

—Maryland

The Supreme Court asks whether a large swathe of Oklahoma is Indian land

WHEN the Indian Removal Act of 1830 uprooted Native Americans from America’s south-east and spurred their relocation west of the Mississippi river, President Andrew Jackson assured the tribes the new lands would remain theirs in perpetuity. “As long as grass grows and water runs”, he told the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminoles before they embarked on the Trail of Tears, they would possess “land of their own”. 

Over the ensuing decades, Congress passed laws disestablishing the tribes’ governments and, in 1907, consolidated the so-called Indian Territory into the new state of Oklahoma. But these acts did not strip Indians of all sovereignty. Reservations remained, and the Major Crimes Act of 1885 provided that many crimes committed by a native on reservation land would be prosecuted by the federal government, not the state in which the reservation lies.

This is the genesis of Carpenter v Murphy, a case regarding criminal justice and the Creek Nation that the justices heard on November 26th. In 2000, Patrick Murphy was convicted in Oklahoma state court of a grisly roadside murder of a fellow Creek. He claims that Oklahoma had no authority to prosecute or punish him because the event took place on Muscogee (Creek) Nation land. The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Mr Murphy by pointing to Solem v Bartlett, a 1984 Supreme Court decision laying out a test to determine whether reservation land had been “ceded” by Native Americans to the government. The Tenth Circuit found no such evidence. Absent compelling proof that Congress had intended to dissolve a reservation, the three-judge panel wrote, the judiciary is “bound by our traditional solicitude for the Indian tribes to rule that diminishment did not take place and that the old reservation boundaries survived the opening”.

Right off the bat before the justices on November 26th, Lisa Blatt, Oklahoma’s lawyer, took direct aim at this conclusion. “Eastern Oklahoma is not an Indian reservation”, she said, because “Congress destroyed all features of a reservation by terminating all sovereignty over the land in the march up to statehood”. While the term “cession” may not be found in statutes having to do with the Creek Nation, Creek courts were abolished, as were tribal taxes. “Every piece of paper, record, book, dollar bill or coin or property, their buildings, their furniture, their desks—everything was taken away from the tribes”. 

When she encountered resistance from Justice Elena Kagan, who observed that the language Solem requires to show the Creek’s reservation had been disestablished is nowhere to be found, Ms Blatt dismissed the argument as mere “semantics”. She soon received help from Justice Samuel Alito, who followed up in questioning Ian Gershengorn, a lawyer arguing for Mr Murphy. “There's a fundamental principle of law that derives from Sherlock Holmes”, Justice Alito said, “which is the dog that didn't bark. And how can it be that none of this was recognised by anybody or asserted by the Creek Nation, as far as I'm aware, for 100 years?” Mr Gershengorn pointed out one way. “If you were in a car accident” on Creek roads, the first responder might be a tribal police officer, and you might be taken to a community hospital built and run by the tribe”.

Despite Mr Murphy’s apparently straightforward path to victory under Solem, a majority of the justices fretted about the practical implications of recognising nearly half of Oklahoma as Creek territory. Aside from criminal prosecutions, this recognition could undermine Oklahoma’s power to tax Native Americans or regulate their businesses. “The historical practice for a century has been against you”, Justice Brett Kavanaugh told Mr Gershengorn. Since “stability is a critical value in judicial decision-making” and deviating from 100 years of practice would bring “turmoil”, why shouldn’t the court “leave well enough alone here?” Similar worries were expressed by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Alito, Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Ms Blatt ended with data to give the justices added pause before voting to bolster Creek authority on Oklahoma’s lands: “There are 2,000 prisoners in state court who committed a crime in the former Indian territory who self-identify as Native American”, she said. “That's 155 murderers, 113 rapists, and over 200 felons who committed crimes against children”. Overturning Mr Murphy’s conviction because Oklahoma lacked jurisdiction to prosecute him would call all these convictions into question, Ms Blatt suggested, and throttle the state’s ability to pursue future lawbreakers in the eastern half of the state.

8 Times the U.S. Government Gave White People Handouts to Get Ahead

The 1830 Indian Removal Act

With the help of the U.S. Army, Cherokee, Creek and other eastern Native American tribes were forced to relocate west of the Mississippi River to make room for white settlers.

The 1862 Homestead Act

This act gave away an overwhelming number of acreage to white settlers out west — land that had been previously settled by Native Americans. According to California News Reel, nearly 270 million acres of Indian Territory was converted to private property for white settlers.

The 1790 Naturalization Act

Under this legislation, only “free whites” were allowed to become naturalized citizens of the United States. Thus the doors were opened for European immigrants — but not anyone else. The right to vote, serve on juries and hold office was exclusively reserved for American citizens.

The Social Security Act of 1935

Enacted under President Roosevelt’s New Deal, the Social Security Act provided a financial safety net for millions of workers and guaranteed that they would continue to be paid after retirement. But this luxury didn’t extend to everyone, however. The act excluded agricultural and domestic laborers, many of whom were Black, Mexican and Asian.

The G.I. Education Bill, Veteran Administration Housing Authority, and Health Care System

Because of these government programs, (mostly white) members of the armed forces were able to continue their education, guaranteed private housing, and granted access to a public health care system. Many of these benefits were reserved for white veterans, however. For the handful of Black veterans who could participate in these programs, their benefits were still fewer than those of their white counterparts.

The Wagner Act of 1935

Also known as the National Labor Relations act, this legislation gave labor unions the power of collective bargaining, defined unfair work practices, and established consequences if those rules were broken. As unions excluded non-white workers from better paying jobs and benefits like health care, pension, and job security, millions of white workers were able to work their way into the middle class.

Federal Housing Administration

Under this bill, white families were granted home loans, making it possible for them to purchase their very first humble abode. Unfortunately, mortgage eligibility was often tied to race while those living in integrated neighborhoods were deemed a “flight risk” and denied loans.

1960s Jim Crow Laws

These outwardly discriminatory laws not only barred African-Americans from drinking at the same water fountain as whites, but also reserved the best jobs, schools, neighborhoods and hospitals for white people.

Kent, OH 44240

The Brimfield Historical Society and Kelso House Museum of Brimfield Ohio, aims to inspire the community by collecting, preserving and exhibiting artifacts from the township’s past and fostering connections to people and ideas. The Brimfield Historical Society organization was originally founded as the Brimfield Memorial House Association, in 1963, as an effort to save the Kelso House, which was slated for demolition.

Advisory #1 - Tropical Cyclone Development in the Central Caribbean

MEMO National Emergency Management Organization “Preserving Life and Property” ADVISORY # 1 (AMENDED VERSION) POTENTIAL TROPICAL CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT IN THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN SUNDAY, 30TH AUGUST, 2020 as at 5:00 PM The National Meteorological Services of Belize and the National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) hereby advises the general public that a westward-moving tropical wave is located over the eastern Caribbean Sea just west of the Windward Islands. Associated shower and thunderstorm activity continues to show signs of organization, and environmental conditions are expected to gradually become more conducive for development. A tropical depression is likely to form during the next day or two while the system moves westward at about 15 mph across the central Caribbean Sea. Interests in Jamaica, Honduras, Belize, Guatemala and Yucatan should monitor the progress of this disturbance. * Formation chance through 48 hours…high…70 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days…high…80 percent. The Met Service and NEMO will continue to monitor this system closely for development. It is possible that the system could start affecting Belize as early as Thursday. The public is advised to remain vigilant and to be prepared for possible storm arrival in accordance with your emergency plan. IF the need arises for you to relocate or evacuate, move early, know which shelter you will go to, and take along your essential necessities required for you to survive. If the islands need to evacuate, an announcement will be made. If people want to voluntarily relocate from the islands to the mainland prior to the announcement of a government coordinated evacuation those individuals most be cleared through MOH San Pedro where all particulars are recorded and checked against MOH COVE)-19 positive/persons quarantine list and a temperature check must be taken prior to departure. DUE TO THE SOE voluntary movement will have to be decided by the National Oversight Committee. In the event of a government coordinated evacuation the following protocols must be followed, a headcount, particulars recorded, names check against the MOH COVID-19/Quarantine list and a temperature check will be taken prior to departure. If anyone is known to be COVE) positive or under quarantine, the San Pedro Emergency Committee first option is for those individuals to be housed/sheltered on the islands. The workforce on the island is at minimal levels or nonexistent and there are no tourists. If a voluntary relocation and a government coordinated evacuation have to be done, the wearing of masks, social distance on the vessels and buses, and temperature checks will be done prior to departure as we did during the first COVE) 19 wave in San Pedro. If we have to evacuate COVID-19 positive and they will need shelter certain shelters in all municipalities will be declared COVE)-19 HURRICANE SHELTERS as per a quarantine centre where people will be housed/sheltered. For those individuals who are COVID-19 positive and don’t need shelter but under the SOE would have to be in quarantine or be in self-isolation, the Ministry of Health will have to direct that such is carried out. The names of those persons leaving the islands will be shared between the Ministry of Health San Pedro and the Ministry of Health in the receiving communities; again this was done before during the first COVE) 19 wave in San Pedro. Once in a shelter everybody must wear a mask, people showing symptoms will be contained in a separate section of the building, hand washing /sanitizing must be done before entering the shelter. Shelter Wardens and Managers will allocate shelter space as social distance must be adhered to and the shelter must be sanitized on a regular basis. COVE) 19 PROTOCOLS and SI 119 of 2020 shall be adhered to. The elderly and persons with underlying health conditions must not occupy the same space with normal persons. Shelter Managers must monitor and correct hygiene and cough /sneeze etiquette not done properly. The Ministry of Health (MOH) staff and or authorized volunteers will conduct daily monitoring of shelters to detect people who are sick. The Shelter Management Team (Public Officers/ Volunteers) MUST wear/use PPE (Masks, Gloves, coverall (optional), thermometers). NEMO’s important contact information is attached.
