Comment on Cape Charles Chickens Leave Home to Roost by Maris Crane

Susan Bauer, We all have our opinions and who are YOU to call someone else “disingenuous” because they consider their chickens to be pets. You closed minded idiot. I have 8 hens which I absolutely consider pets. I live in a subdivision in Phoenix AZ. Just because I eat their eggs does not mean that I do not consider them my pets. When the stop laying, I plan on KEEPING THEM AS PETS for the remainder of their lives. I plan on a move to Kentucky, NC, or VA in a few years and YES I’ll be taking them with me along with my dogs, 3 PET pigeons and 8 PET coturnix quail and my PET turtle dove. I’ll be sure not to move to a place full of mean spirited folk such as yourself.

Let me add my name to the long list of positive comments from Wave readers. I’ll miss reading about CC when I’m not able to be in town and learning about the ins and outs (including reverse parking) of town goings on. George and Dorie – I know you’re on to better things!

I don’t like the confusion and difficulty of the new parking so we limit our visits to C.C. And only park if there are spaces across the street.

Comment on Lloyd Kellam Remembers Cape Charles (and Ol’ Sud Bell) by Robert Houseknecht

Southy (Sud) Mitchell Bell is my great-grandfather; he was born 1881 and died 1949. He visited my mother’s family, Rosemary Bell Houseknecht, in Newport News, Va. fairly often with a parade of children and folks behind him as he played the banjo walking down the street to her home on 36th Street. They always knew when he was coming 15 minutes before he arrived due to the music and parade that always seemed to follow him. To the Lewis Family: although you sold it in 2010, I ate at your restaurant, Island House, today. The food was still quite good I plan on taking my boat to Hog Island just to reconnect to the family past. I live in Virginia Beach. I hear you know my uncle Mitchell Bell.

Comment on #9 Story An Outsider’s Inside View of Bay Creek’s Beach Club by Dana Lascu

It affects everyone in Cape Charles if the “beach” club is going to be another failed project. How much does Bay Creek owe the town/county in taxes? How much does it owe for the sewer plant? And how much more is it going to owe in the future if this club will not have enough members to sustain it? We need someone exacting, like Heinz Sommer – thanks for the budget insights in the Mirror! – to ask all the relevant questions.

I can safely assume that the club doesn’t have too many members by looking at the handful of cars parked there daily, even in full tourist season. So yes, it is relevant to all of us if we will have another white elephant in town. Also, there is not much marketing of the facility, it has no visibility beyond a drive-by presence on the way to the beach. Maybe, with some selling, I might see a reason to become a member. Or not. Love the story, George!

After reading this article a second time, I still come away with the same opinion, which is, WHO GIVES A *&^% what anybody thinks about something they will not be involved with? What a stupid, petty article this is.

Steve: Please refrain from reading the article a third time. –EDITOR

I am personally sorry to see the Wave go. George was always amazingly supportive of the Eastern Shore Spay Organization's fund raising efforts and B&B projects. The Wave was a huge effort with the willingness to report and supply current information not available anywhere else will be sadly missed. It also encouraged response and participation on local issues. I think there may have been a rough start with the Wave as the new kid on the block with too many opinions. Maybe we needed the news and just the news without the controversial commentary. It turned a lot of people against the Wave who refused to subscribe to it. I always felt that it was their loss and if you really wanted to know what was going on in town it was necessary to subscribe. I find Wayne Creed a little very frightening in his habit of "if you think it, it is ok to print it." Like calling the new parking efforts communist. Really? If you are going to report the information and be a valuable addition to the Internet maybe you need to tone it down a bit. Clelia Sheppard and Mary Ann Rohem resigned from Arts Enter. This caused the board to do a huge search for a replacement to fill their big creative shoes and tireless devotion. Change is always difficult. Thomas D. Giese: We are your neighbors at 212 Bay Ave., about 4 houses away. Hank has a full-time job with Rutgers University in NJ as director of a research dept. I am secretary/treasurer of ESSO and together we own and operate the Chesapeake Bay View B&B. Good Luck George and Dorie. Thank you for all your efforts.

Having sat through many Northampton County Supervisor meetings I can attest to the sterling coverage by the Cape Charles Wave. The fact that they even chose to cover it was a major step as the town government and citizens have had a history of disconnect. As much as we may sometimes want to be an island onto ourselves, reality dictates we need to be involved with county issues whether we live inside any town limits or not. County and Shore issues affect us all. The Wave helped fill a news void at a critical time in our county's history. The Eastern Shore News abandoned coverage of Northampton government, and other weekly news sources never scratched the surface of issues, instead just providing a "he said, she said" read. The Wave's County coverage has been handled by Mr. Creed for months now in a thorough and professional manner; I don't see any reason why that would change. I for one, am grateful. It is a thankless and not very lucrative job. I wish Dorie & George more peaceful days ahead.

HEROES: There are many kinds of heroes. The people who stand up to expose problems and/or improper conduct on the part of our neighbors and governmental officials are one particular kind of hero. These people subject themselves to all kinds of malicious attacks and often false accusations, and for what? Telling the truth in print. To expose waste, corruption, and illegal acts in our town and county. The TRUTH is the TRUTH — you can’t change that. The Wave will be greatly missed
on many levels — the humor, the historical perspective, the public anouncements, as well as the exposés. THESE ARE MY KIND OF HEROS.
