WAREHAM The recovery effort is expected to resume this morning in Wareham to find a man who fell through the ice on Sunday.
Crews responded to the area of 786 County Road at around 4:30 p.m. Sunday, after reports that someone had fallen through the ice of pond that serves as the reservoir for cranberry bogs.
The Plymouth County Dive Team was called in to assist, but murky water made it difficult to find the man.

The Home Depot ‘Retool Your School’ campaign benefits Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) is in full swing. In 2021, they are investing $1 Million in 2021. “This year, 30 HBCUs will win their share of $1,000,000.”
As a proud graduate of an HBCU, I look at Stillman College as my HBCU away from home. So many Stillman attributes remind me of my Dear Ole’ Bethune-Cookman. Kudos to The Home Depot because they said they are “dedicated to continuing our commitment, celebrating the legacy and pride of HBCUs.”

If you didn’t know, The Home Depot has a history of giving towards HBCUs. “Since 2009, The Home Depot has invested more than $3.1 million dollars to update, upgrade, and uplift HBCU campuses.” You know this warms my soul.
Missoula Board of Health Relaxes Some Business Restrictions
And..there may be good news for Grizzly Football fans, but we ll address that later.
Shannon Therriault, Director of Environmental Health at the Missoula City County Health Department provided details of the changes made, since Missoula has been able to maintain fewer than 25 per 100,000 COVID cases over the past several weeks.
“Retailers and gyms and places of assembly were limited to 50% capacity, and so now with the new rule that the board adopted yesterday, they can increase their capacity so they don t have to limit it to 50% of the people that they would normally have in there,” said Therriault. “However, they still have to take the measures to ensure that their clients or customers or visitors can stay six feet from unassociated parties, or people that they didn t come in with.”
