                 Rain Descends Upon Hopewell Baseball

                Regular Season Ends with Thomas Dale Last Night

                       by Jeff Butler

Hopewell's last regular season game was postponed from this past Tuesday to last night ( Thursday 5/16) - too late for our deadline here. It will help pave the way for a Playoff picture for the 11-8 Blue Devils that could present an opening round home game. Depending on the rest of the Class 3A baseball games finishing this week, Head Coach Adam Capps will know where and when! 

Stay tuned to Hopewell High School Social Media for the particulars. We will be there as Hopewell radio WHAP AM 1340 and 96.9 FM.

PUBLIC WORKS

Did you know?

·        2003 President George W. Bush issued Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8), officially recognizing public works as first responders.

·        In 2010, Mississippi, under House Bill (HB) 664, recognized public works professionals as first responders.

·        In 2017, the APWA Board of Directors approved the adoption of a national “Public Works First Responder” symbol for use throughout North America to identify public works personnel and acknowledge their federally mandated role as first responders.

·        In 2019, the US Senate passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 15 (S.Con.Res.15), “Expressing support for the designation of October 28, 2019, as Honoring the Nation’s First Responders Day.” Public works is specifically included.

·        In 2022, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu signed SB325 into law, formally recognizing public works employees as first responders.

·        In 2022, New Hampshire passed HB 536, “An Act relative to death benefits for public works employees killed in the line of duty, and relative to workers’ compensation offsets for certain retirement system benefits.”

·        Public works is often considered “the silent arm of public safety,” … usually without fanfare. Public works professionals are frequently the first on scene and the last to leave the scenes of disasters—no matter the peril.



·        The National Incident Management System (NIMS) lists public works alongside police, fire, and public.
