Today on DelmarvaLife –
Someone says something you don’t hear. You say, “what?” They say it again and you still don’t understand what they said. So instead of asking them to repeat themselves, you shake your head and agree. It’s frustrating. Here’s the thing: it could be a sign of hearing loss. Here’s another thing: it could be an easy fix. Katie visits Chesapeake Hearing Centers to see how easy.
Tobacco continues to be the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. It accounts for about 30 percent of all cancer deaths. While, fewer people are smoking and smoking rates have dropped, the American Cancer Society reports about 34 million people still smoke. That could be you or someone you love. And maybe, you’re thinking today is the day to quit. We talk with Crystal Bell, the Chronic Disease and Tobacco Supervisor with the Worcester County Health Department about the Great American Smokeout.
You’d be hard pressed to find a job that starts at 42-thousand-dollars a year, you’re given all the training you need and no college degree required? On top of that, a stable job with excellent benefits. Well, we have good news. There is a job that has all of those things: a corrections officer. We talk with Secretary Robert L. Green with Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, about a virtual job event. To apply, click here.
Perhaps, one of the most important things to come out of this pandemic, is the need to shop local. To support our community by supporting local businesses. As the holidays approach, maybe you’re worried about when to get that shopping done, the crowds, or if you’re getting the best price. Well, there’s no need to wait until next Friday to take advantage of the incredible deals happening at Vernon Powell. 102-5 WBOC’s Corey Phoebus shows us some of the amazing deals on top-to-bottom trends.
We’re putting the finishing touches on that Thanksgiving menu – and adding a twist, by throwing pumpkin into our potatoes.
