POQUOSON BULLS MAGNET
Available at the Poquoson Library and soon, hopefully, at Islander Hardware. These big 5" magnets have many possible uses; car, the fridge, a cabinet, etc.
Only $5.00, and 100% goes to support the PHS baseball program... new and safer equipment, uniforms, etc.
PHS had a tremendous season last year and hopes to carry that momentum on into this year. The community's support, your support, for these student-athletes makes a difference, and means a lot to the teams!
Collecting, researching, preserving and sharing the history and cultural heritage of Poquson. Visit us on the web!

Poquoson environmental group's work uncovers sewer leak
After more than a year of testing Poquoson's waters for fecal pollution, a citizen environmental group recently scored a victory when their work uncovered a sewer line leaking into Roberts Creek.Poquoson Citizens for the Environment began a concerted effort in January 2008 to test waterways in and around the city for fecal bacteria contamination. The group uses Virginia Department of Environmental Quality-approved methods. While their work has uncovered at least 10 problem sites, where high bacteria counts associated with human and animal waste were present, they have been largely unable to isolate causes. That changed on June 18 when a City of Poquoson engineering department crew responded to a claim by group volunteers that a sewer pipe near the intersection of Hunts Neck Road and Roberts Landing Drive must be leaking.

Fire officials: Fireworks carry rules, risks
The Fourth of July weekend is approaching, and fireworks are still against the law in Virginia."Basically anything that goes boom or shoots up in air is illegal," said Mike Bryant, Poquoson deputy fire chief. The exceptions are sparklers, fountains, pinwheels (commonly known as whirligigs or spinning jennies) and Pharaoh's serpents. Individual localities may choose to ban those as well, and many do. Newport News, James City, Williamsburg, Virginia Beach and York County all prohibit the use of any type of fireworks, including those permitted by the state fire code. Gloucester and Isle of Wight follow the state code with no restrictions. "The safest way is not to have them at all," said Joe Davis of the James City Fire Department. The Virginia State Fire Prevention Code prohibits the sale, use and possession, except by permit, of any fireworks that contain flammable liquids or explode, travel sideways or rise into the air.
