Miller comes from the loss side to claim Maryland State Ladies 9-Ball Championship
As best as we can figure, the last time (before this past weekend) that Briana Miller and Tina Malm met in a meaningful pool match was in the summer of 2017 at a stop on the J. Pechauer Northeast Women’s Tour (JPNEWT) in Frederick, MD. At the event, they both had to contend with Karen Corr, who, two years earlier, had dominated the JPNEWT season, winning eight of the tour’s 11 stops that year. In 2016, Corr competed in and won all three of the tour’s events in which she participated. In that summer of 2017, she was making what would prove to be her only appearance on the tour and came from the loss side to win it. Briana Miller met up with Corr in the third round of that event and defeated her in a double-hill bout. Miller advanced, eventually, to the hot seat match, which is where she ran into Malm. Miller sent Malm off (7-2) to what proved to be a semifinal match against Corr. Corr defeated Malm (also 7-2) and then defeated Miller 9-4 in the final to claim her one and only JPNEWT title that year.

Downtown Havre de Grace set to undergo restoration focusing on walkability and scenery
Work has begun to transform the heart of downtown Havre de Grace into a pedestrian-friendly, “Chesapeake Colonial” town with wider sidewalks, new trees, brick roadways and parallel street parking. Last week trees that once lined downtown streets were removed to kick off the restoration process. Next month, Mayor Bill Martin said the sidewalks will be dug up and the water lines will be replaced. “We hope to have the sidewalks replaced in mid-October to early November,” Martin said. “We are going to do everything we can to lay down plywood and keep walkable areas so people can access shops.” Martin anticipates the restoration to be completed by May, and said his goal is to minimally affect businesses. He hopes businesses would only need to close for a day or two due to construction.
