Petersburg’s borough assembly next month will continue work on a local law to regulate how future marijuana businesses will be able to operate in the borough. Some local residents are asking for a public vote on whether such businesses should be allowed here at all. A community “opt out” vote is allowed under the statewide ballot initiative passed by voters in 2014. However, the assembly did not make any decisions about an “opt out” vote, or the pot law last night.

Petersburg’s Sons of Norway Hall Monday swelled with the sound of Sacred Harp singing. The tradition features four-part hymns and anthems and dates back to the earliest days of the country. Singers sit facing each other in a square and are encouraged to stand in the square and lead the group. Audience members and the public are also welcomed to join in – several did at the Sons of Norway Monday. Joe Viechnicki recorded the singers and spoke with David Ivey, one of the group’s members.
