1 C H E S A P E A K E B E A C H Bay Breeze Thrd Quarter 2016 Hello Chesapeake Beach, We are n the dog days of summer. The smell of suntan loton and kds playng n the surf are n the ar. We are so blessed to lve n such a dverse and beautful place. I love seeng my buddy Beetle The Mayor of Chc s Beach and lstenng to hs stores of our neghborhood. Just last week I was n HK wth Beetle and he told me about the 10 pound bass he caught n Lake Joyce n There t s, hangng over the bar, over the taps. Beetle sad t s the real McCoy except for a glass eye. I loved walkng nto Za Mare s and talkng wth Bll and Mary Ellen, catchng up on old tmes and remnscng about our kds. Tme sure does fly. I love the fact there s such a bond n our communty. We are lke famly. We feel for our neghbors. We hope for ther best welfare. There are many that are sufferng. We have some fghtng cancer. Some who have fallen and broken bones. Some neghbors have lost pets. Some are dealng wth ssues that break your heart. That s why we need to love thy neghbor as thy self. Try to put yourself n your neghbor s shoes. Try to gan perspectve before you judge. When I became the Presdent of the Chesapeake Beach Cvc League, I had been the Vce Presdent for 3 years. We met every other month and the actvtes that were beng created by the cvc league were fewer. The meetngs often tmes were flled wth endless confrontatons and dvsve banterng amongst members who opposed resdental zonng. I was powerless and could not sway our membershp to navgate to a more peaceful agenda. Therefore when I was asked to be Presdent at frst, I declned. I felt there was a local government that had the resources and power to manage these resdental zonng ssues wthout strrng up our communty. After all s that not why we pay taxes? In a world of chaos and dsharmony I would rather brng us together. That has been my polcy and contnues to be my polcy. Wth that understandng the executve board was formed and I agreed to become Presdent. We have seen many great thngs occur n our lttle nook of Vrgna Beach over the past few years. We changed our meetngs to restaurant establshments, so we could eat and have an adult beverage f we so desre. Now many other cvc leagues have followed our lead. We meet every month whch allows our members to better get to know each other. We have had several new events: CXB Auto Show, CXB Low Rent 5K Race and the CXB Low Rent Paddleboard Race. We mantaned our tradtonal events such as the Communty Clean Up, the Summer Pcnc and the Holday Party. If one were to research the other cvc leagues n Vrgna Beach you would be hard pressed to fnd any others that have done the same amounts of communty actvtes as we have. I feel that t has been worth t. There have been trals and trbulatons but I stll feel t has been worth t. There are stuatons that affect the entre communty and these are a vastly dfferent set of crcumstances. Sdewalks for nstance are terrbly needed along Lookout Road because t s a tragedy watng to happen. The cvc league has made ths a prorty. As everyone s aware our beaches are beng dmnshed by the eroson of many storms over the years. Somethng needs to be done soon. The cvc league has made ths a prorty as well. Wth both of these ssues we have had to consder the rghts of ndvdual property owners. The cvc league s not ndfferent. We want what s best for the entre communty. But we reserve the rght to determne what a communty ssue s. To advocate one way or another and dametrcally oppose another resdent s the path to endless meetngs of our hstronc past. The cvc league wll reman neutral. We expect our local government to do the job that we the ctzens have elected and pad them to do. Shalom! Our ablty to nform our communty of what s happenng n the neghborhood has played a sgnfcant role n our success. The awesome BAY BREEZE newsletter has been a key n our ablty to nform our communty. Thank you to our edtor Robyn Baley for her treless work on the newsletter. Please check our Facebook page, Chesapeake Beach Cvc League, for comng nformaton on both as well. Our monthly meetngs are the 3 rd Monday of every month. We tradtonally go to a local establshment to meet so check our Facebook page: Chesapeake Beach Cvc League for each month s locaton. I look forward to seeng you there. T.J. Morgan Presdent Chesapeake Beach Cvc League Chc s Beach Neghborhood "1

2 C H E S A P E A K E B E A C H C I V I C L E A G U E Thank you to the many sponsors and volunteers that made the 3rd Annual Low Rent 5K an amazng mornng of run and fun! And a specal thank you to Commonwealth Brewery for hostng and Chad Hutchens for charng ths great neghborhood event. RESCUE ME Chesapeake Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad The CBCL s excted to be able to donate to the Chesapeake Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad wth money we rased from the Low Rent 5K. The Rescue Squad volunteers generously helped wth the success of ths event. The Vrgna Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad has reled on donatons from t s begnnng. The frst Vrgna Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad started n 1952 after attorney J. Peter Holland III came on to a car accdent at 24th street and Atlantc Avenue and was unable to receve tmely help because the fre department's ambulance was dsabled. Holland gathered people n the communty to start a volunteer rescue squad. The group took a trp to Fredercksburg, who already had a workng volunteer system. The group went to the cty and receved $500 to start the rescue squad. On May 1, 1952, Prncess Anne-Vrgna Beach Rescue started operatons. In the 1960s the cty found the need for more rescue squads and requested the new squads operate wthn the fre departments. All of us remember, not to long ago, when the Rescue Squad was hghly vsble n ts locaton on Pleasure House Rd. The cty of Vrgna Beach generously bult a beautful new staton on Greenwell Road and Shore Drve. However, accordng to Brttany Coutcher, the Captan of the Chesapeake Beach Volunteer Fre and Rescue Department, they mss beng able to nteract wth the neghbors. Captan Coutcher encourages everyone to stop n at the Greenwell Road locaton and take a tour. Captan Brttany Coutcher Brttany Coutcher has been a member of the Rescue Squad snce 2001 and has seen a lot of changes over the years, not just ther relocaton. The constant declne of equpment s a hgh concern of the squad. Most recently they have had to retre 2 of the 3 ambulances due to age. A 1999 and 2003 ambulances were retred due to hgh mleage and t was not feasble to keep them n servce. Currently, they are watng to hear f they wll be awarded a State Grant to help purchase another ambulance. Ther hope s n tme to replace the thrd ambulance as well. It s clear that the squad reles on and apprecates the generosty of those who donate durng ther bannual fund drves. The Chesapeake Beach Volunteer Fre and Rescue Department wll contnue to respond to your calls for servce for many years to come thanks to communty support. And remember they are always lookng for new volunteers. For a drect lnk to apply to be on a volunteer rescue squad, clck here. To donate send check or money order to: CBVRS P.O. Box 5674 Vrgna Beach VA by Robyn Baley Thank you to Captan Coutcher for nformaton and photos and the VBVRS Webste. The CBCL s dedcated to the safety of our communty. Wth money rased from the CBCL 3rd Annual Low Rent 5K we were able to donate to the Frank W. Cox Hgh School PTSA for the 25th Annual All-Nght Alcohol & Drug-Free Graduaton Celebraton. The graduates enjoyed an evenng (and mornng) on the Sprt of Norfolk on Saturday, June 18th. The event s an after-hours party for the senor students followng ther graduaton ceremones. It s the fnal opportunty for them to share laughter and fun n a safe envronment wth ther fellow classmates. The Alcohol & Drug Free Grad Party has proven to be a successful way of provdng our teens wth a safe and secure way to celebrate. The Sprt of Norfolk crused down the James Rver at the All Nght Graduaton Celebraton, from 10:00 p.m. untl 5:00 a.m. Durng the cruse the senors partcpated n games, entertanment, musc and dancng. Throughout the nght food and beverages were served and gfts and Przes were awarded. All transportaton to and from the Sprt of Norfolk were provded. Ths s such a wonderful evenng to help ensure the safety and well beng of our most przed possessons - our chldren. Frank W. Cox PTSA Donaton Commttee Km Jasnsk & Stacey Lawlor

It s mportant for dog owners to remember that not everyone s a dog person and not every dog s dog frendly! The future of the prvlege to let dogs be off leash on the beach s dependent on the ablty of dog owners to be responsble. Many beaches have banned dogs because there were ncdents wth a person or dog, or because too many owners dd not scoop the poop. In a world where one bad experence can run t for everyone else, all dog owners need to help mantan dog etquette and common sense. Summer Restrctons from Memoral Day weekend through Labor Day: Dogs are not allowed on the resdental beaches between 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. In the resort area, no dogs are allowed on the beaches between Rudee Inlet and 42nd street at any tme. Leashed dogs can be walked on the resort boardwalk untl 10:00 a.m. Get the leash! Dog walkng has ts benefts. Walkng a dog s not only good exercse, t s also great therapy. Spendng tme wth your pet can help you relax and manage stress. If your dog lkes to walk, you can count on always havng an enthusastc walkng buddy. When you are outdoors beng wth nature can help restore your sense of well-beng. If you walk your dog, you are probably gettng more physcal actvty, on average, than those who don t. Accordng to the Amercan Heart Assocaton (2013) Pet ownershp, partcularly dog ownershp, s probably assocated wth deceased rsk of cardovascular dsease. excerpt from Psychology Today Lke Us on Facebook "4

8 B A Y B R E E Z E Lttle Free Lbrares by Charlee Gown I would lke to send a great bg shout-out of thanks to all of the members and frends of our cvc league for your enthusastc support of our Lttle Free Lbrary project. We are offcally on the map along wth the other 44,000 lttle lbrares around the world! (check out We have secured three (yes, 3!) locatons for our lbrares and are workng on others. So what ARE these Lttle Free Lbrares? They are custom-bult boxes wth 2 shelves, an upper one for adult books and the lower for chldren's books. All books (and magaznes) are donated. The dea s to encourage lteracy and opportuntes for everyone to read AND to create communty engagement n lteracy based on a Take a book, Leave a Book phlosophy. There s no check-out requred. It s purely an honor system and you are encouraged to pass along books you read to others or return them to a lttle lbrary, and to donate books to the lbrares. Each lbrary has a steward that tends to the box, makng sure t s kept stocked and orderly. But they are SOOOO much more than lttle boxes of books. Please read on... The Lttle Free Lbrary organzaton began n 2010, the branchld of a man n Wsconsn, Todd Bol, who bult the frst Lttle Free Lbrary for hs front yard as a trbute to hs mother, a former teacher and lfelong reader. Today that sngle, small dea has grown nto a cultural phenomenon. As I sad earler, these lttle lbrares now number over 44,000 and are n natons all over the world. LttleFreeLbrary.org was honored wth a Lbrary of Congress award n Ths concept has brought neghborhoods together, folks talkng to each other more than they ever had. I have experenced ths nteracton n our own lbrary at Buoy 44 when I wtnessed beach vstors from NY fndng common grounds wth natves of Chc s Beach all because of ths lttle lbrary! Ths sense of communty s mportant to me and I beleve t s to you, too. So when I saw my frst lttle lbrary whle vstng famly n San Antono, TX over the Chrstmas holdays, I knew t was somethng that would be a good ft for our specal communty. Our frst lbrary ste was gracously offered by our frend and cvc league sponsor, Stephen Mchaels at Buoy 44. The Sandcastle s a really beautful beachy lbrary located as you enter that property. It was bult and donated by Grl Scout Troop 212, led by Krstna Martn and Abbe Novaro. We proudly presented t at our annual pcnc at Bayvlle Park n June and t s a beauty.
