When Brady Behrman founded VB Websites, and brought the company to Cape Charles, this was not only the birth a of great organization, but a notice that successful high tech could be accomplished on the Eastern Shore. Over time, VB kept evolving, and eventually found a niche in the B2B Procurement and Integrations space. This evolution culminated in PunchOut2Go, which seamlessly integrates PunchOut and B2B Procurement Integrations. Co-owners Brady Behrman and Shawn McKnight are now located in Charlottesville, but according to Mr. Behrman, “We sure do miss the Shore and know where we started. Though we had to move to grow, we’ll never forget Cape Charles, the people, friends and support we had on there.”

Planning Commission Updates
Special Use Permits
Virginia Beach developer Angelo Manuel requested two more Special Use Permits for his 1.52 acres in the hamlet of Kiptopeke. In January, Mr. Manuel received a SUP from the Board of Supervisors (BOS) for the Kiptopeke Village apartments which consists of three 4-bedroom apartments. In April Manuel received a SUP for a small restaurant (under 2500 sq. ft.). The Planning Commission provided a recommendation for SUP # 2015-10 which requested the right to add an additional 200 feet of retail space to the expanding footprint of the restaurant. He also received a favorable recommendation for one food truck on the site, although he originally sought permission for two–one during construction and one after the restaurant was open.

Member of Post 56 Cheriton elected American Legion State Commander
Back in 1922 American Legion Post 56 was chartered to serve our Eastern Shore veterans. It always hasn’t been easy, and Post 56 did go through its share of hard times. But fast forward to 2015, and you find a Post 56, now based in Cheriton, that is one of the most dynamic, involved, community-centric posts in the state. This has not gone unnoticed, as former shore resident Jim Chapman has been elected Commander for The American Legion’s Department of VA. This prestigious position is the highest office for The American Legion in the state. Chapman was unanimously elected on July 18 at the Legion’s state convention in Roanoke by over 300 delegates who represented 200 plus American Legion Post’s across the state. Jim is the first person from the Eastern Shore to be elected to this position and is a member of Post 56 in Cheriton.

ANDY ZAHN: Have our leaders forsaken us?
I believe the best of our young leaders lie buried in military cemeteries and what we have running the country now are what is left us, the dregs. A number of presidents served in the Civil War, at least one from WW I and about four from service in WW II. It seems my generation, the Korean Conflict and beyond has been left behind.

Smitty Dize: Leaving Town Harbor
Although the Boston Red Sox have recently broken the Curse of the Bambino, a curse caused by giving away the great Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees, we have to hope that our harbor is not in for a similar downturn, as we too let our franchise player, Smitty Dize, slip through our fingers. Mirror sources confirm that Dize has resigned as Harbor Master, and is on his way to becoming harbor master/director for the Oyster Farm at Kings Creek Marina.
Although full details are not available, sources tell the CC Mirror that Mr. Dize has been ready for a change, and that tensions between he and the Mayor, Vice-Mayor, and Assistant Town Manager have been brewing for some time now.

The Rootstone Jug Band – Old Time Jug Band – Blues and Roots August 7th at 8:00 p.m. at The Oyster Farm at Kings Creek
The Rootstone Jug Band evokes a time before radios and recordings, when folk songs were
woven into the fabric of rural life. This group has studied and absorbed a range of regional
styles and old-time songs from Virginia are presented alongside material from the classic
jug bands and songsters of Memphis, all with a deep respect for the music’s origins. These
songs are essential ingredients in the American musical recipe, and in the hands of and
voices of the Rootstone Jug Band they come alive again!
The Rootstone Jug Band was initially scheduled to play an outdoor event at the Cape
Charles Yacht Center. Because of the uncertainty of the weather, the concert venue has
been changed to The Oyster Farm at Kings Creek located at 500 Marina Village Circle.

Northampton County Rezoning—
…..the clock may start ticking soon
At the end of the May 26 Board of Supervisor’s Work Session, with no Agenda notice, and with only the CBES representative left in the audience, the Board members were presented with a new calendar for action on the county-wide rezoning proposal. Each member received a Red Binder containing all changes agreed to up until that date, and several pages of brand new recommendations from county staff.
TOWN COUNCIL: lunacy + dysfunction = ???
The Cape Charles Town Council met for a work session on July 30th to once again see if they and Patrick Hand could find a way to move forward with the 300 Mason Street Project. Although Hand’s project has already been approved by the Harbor District Review Board, members of Council (mainly Steve Bennett of Bay Creek,) have been so morbidly obsessed with nitnoids, that approval for the project has thus far been unobtainable. Also on the agenda was the Cape Charles by the Bay website debacle; the handling of the 300 Mason project and the website contract are key performance indicators of just how dysfunctional the Proto Council has become.
