Until this year. Where exactly are the kids supposed to practice now? For OSCC Cape Charles, this is the major point—not so much property or money, but the loss of public space that was supposed to be reserved for these kids.

Thanks again to Ms Bender for her continuing integrity and for fighting the good fight. This town needs her more than ever. It should be noted that OSCC did not have deep pockets, and carrying this scheduled 12 round fight the distance has been very expensive (physically, spiritually, socially and monetarily). Unlike the Town, we could not reach into the tax payer pockets (how much $$$ was taken from us?) to finance our fight against governmental abuse, aggression, civil rights violations and racism, but had to pay for it the old school way, by selling good old Eastern Shore oysters, clams and Chesapeake Bay blue crabs (and a little beer).

Hopefully, the Supreme Court will understand just who we are what this fight has always been about, and will do the right thing by setting a precedent for the rights of all citizens in Towns across Virginia.
