Washington County Forced to Postpone Some Second Vaccines From the County Office of Public Safety: ***POSTPONEMENT NOTIFICATION*** 65 & OLDER VACCINE EVENTS - 2ND DOSE PODS FOR SATURDAY (02/20) & SUNDAY (02/21)... All, Based on recent weather issues across the country, coupled with the supply issues with vaccine, the county has not received our 2nd dose supply of vaccine for the SECOND DOSE PODs for the 65 & OLDER population that received their first doses on January 23rd and 24th - therefore our Public Health team will have to POSTPONE the second dose events scheduled for this Saturday & Sunday. Our Public Health team will be working to reschedule those who were scheduled for this weekend's 2nd Dose events as soon as possible next week, provided supply is received accordingly. Here's an excerpt from the CDC on the timing of the second dose, you can read the full info here: https://www.cdc.gov//info-by-/clinical-considerations.html

A since-deleted Facebook post by CCS BOE member Caleb Breault drew the attention of many of our readers last night and today. In response to requests for comment from the district, Cambridge Superintendent Doug Silvernell issued the following statement:

From the Cheap Seats Super Bowl Prop Quiz What's a Super Bowl Party without the first ever From the Cheap Seats Super Bowl Prop Quiz? Do this at home or work with your family and friends and/or go to our Facebook page (The Eagle Press) where we will post this same Super Bowl Prop Quiz. The person who likes The Eagle Press page and posts their answers in the comment section beneath the Super Bowl Prop Quiz that ends up with the most EAGLE points wins a one-year subscription ...to The Eagle Press and a $25 gift certificate to Greenwich House of Pizza! There are fifteen questions (including the tiebreaker) - you must choose one answer for each question. If your selection is correct, the EAGLE points (in parenthesis next to the answer) get added to your total score. In the event of a "push" on any one question (i.e. - Question #1: the National Anthem is exactly two minutes long) - every player gets 100 EAGLE points for that question. Whoever finishes with the most EAGLE points is the winner. We will confirm the correct answers both on our Facebook page and in next week's From the Cheap Seats. Good luck! COMMENTS WILL BE CLOSED AT 4PM ON SUNDAY
