Seen this morning on Bayside Road! I believe the dog is female. She is in very rough shape – you can see her ribs and has wounds that need tending. A bit skittish – could not get close enough to check collar. A broken and frayed lead is still attached to collar. Please share. If anyone knows this dog, and who it may belong to, please contact the owner or email capecharlesmirror@gmail.com.

Sullivan’s Resignation Plunges Cape Charles into Chaos: Special Meeting March 8th
Coming on the heals of the surprise resignation of Town Manager Brent Manuel, and the announcement that Mayor George Proto would not be seeking reelection, Councilwoman Dora Sullivan has tendered her immediate resignation from the Cape Charles Town Council citing personal reasons for her decision. The Town’s search for a new town manager has exposed an incompetent and rudderless Town Council that seems lacking in any real expertise, especially when it comes to the search and hiring of what is arguably the most important position in town government. The sudden Sullivan departure has added to the chaos.
A source close to Plum Street told the Mirror, “You can feel the stress. The back biting…well, you know Cape Charles. Keep an eye on this, and watch out what happens in May.”
Town Manager Brent Manuel’s shocking departure is still shrouded in intrigue. While the players are still holding cards close to the vest, there is speculation that his leaving is not all that voluntary.
In William Faulkner’s story, Requiem for a Nun, he wrote, “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”
Dora Sullivan initially joined the Cape Charles Town Council in October 2002 when she was appointed to Council to complete David Flora’s term. She was elected in 2004 and served as councilwoman from July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2006. Sullivan has served as mayor of Cape Charles from July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2014 when she and her late husband Mike Sullivan decided to retire.
After taking a couple of years off, she again ran for Council in 2016 and was elected for a term which began on July 1, 2016.
The Code of Virginia outlines the process of filling a vacancy in elected offices. Section 24.2-226(A) requires the town to petition the circuit court to schedule a special election within 15 days of the vacancy.
The Town Council will be holding a special meeting on March 8, 2018 to adopt a resolution authorizing the petition.
Section 24.2-228(A) allows the Town Council to appoint a qualified voter of the election district as an interim council member within 45 days of the vacancy. The Town Council will be discussing the process and potential candidates for consideration at their meeting next week for appointment at the March 15, 2018 regular meeting.

C-Pier wins After-the-Fact VMRC approval–hammered for violations
The C-Pier at the Oyster Farm Marina received an after-the-fact approval for work that affects wetlands in and around the location of King’s Creek. The application was submitted to the Virginia Marine Resources Commission by Peacock Holdings, LLC. Local developer and Peacock Holdings manager Bill Parr signed and submitted the application to Habitat Management Chief Tony Watkinson. The work involved screened-in porches, as well as maintaining the restaurant works.
The application was approved by the Virginia Marine Resource Commission Tuesday in a vote of 6-1.
While the application was approved, there was a civil charge of $3000 for a “major degree of noncompliance.” The normal fee of $300 was tripled, and a triple royalty of $3600 was assessed. The fees were the result of “the encroachment of the two covered screened porches over 1,200 square feet of state-owned subaqueous land at a rate of $3 per square foot.”
The Fix Is In: LeMond instated as Cheriton’s Interim Mayor
The Cheriton Town Council met last Monday for a special meeting that installed former Northampton County Supervisor Larry LeMond as interim mayor. This coming after the surprise ousting of popular mayor Joe Hable. The meeting lasted eight minutes.
While council was pleased to have Mr. LeMond back on the bench, other citizens have told the Mirror that the entire episode didn’t “quite smell right”, and that “the corruption at the county and in Cape Charles has finally made its way to Cheriton.”
Some of those suspicions appeared justified when LeMond announced that he was planning to officially run for mayor in May. He told council that he planned to file his paperwork the next day.
The ouster of Mr. Hable has left citizens with more questions than answers.
The Mirror will continue to follow this story as it develops.
Lost Boys on Pleasure Island: Is America Creating Mass Shooters?
In the Walt Disney classic animated film Pinocchio, groups of rambunctious boys are seduced into coming to Pleasure Island, where they are eventually turned into donkeys and forced to work in the salt mines. The “naughty” boys in the film are presented as voiceless and faceless; they are seen in the distance and in sequences where they are bundled together, giving them no humanity at all. Much like the Lost Boys of Peter Pan, “who fall out of their prams when the nurse is looking the other way and if they are not claimed in seven days, they are sent far away to the Neverland.”
As we witness yet another boy walk back into school and kill, the question becomes, are these our Lost Boys?
After the Parkland school shooting, the polarized gun arguments began right on cue—mostly black and white, with little room at the center. The method used at Parkland was a gun, but the act had almost nothing to do with guns. Due to our abject political natures, the discussion never really ends up being about the school shootings.
Peering deeper into the abyss of modern humanity, there is something more horrible going on–something that no one wants to look at it. Someone intent on doing evil will find a way. But what possesses them to do these things? Looking further, why are school shootings committed by men, many times young men?
People like Mr. Cruz are possessed by a kind of evil ill will, a state of mind and magnitude of hate that has gown well past the ability to understand or describe it. At its core it is a soul that is alienated, disoriented and overcome by a perceived meaninglessness. The expressions left for this soul present themselves in horrible ways. Most lately with gun violence. In Luchino Visconti’s “The Damned”, the SS officer tells the young boy, “You see Gunther, you have acquired something truly extraordinary. You possess hate! It’s a young hate. Pure. Absolute.”
It’s hard to have an intelligent conversation about school shootings–nobody wants to look into the darkness long enough to actually understand what motivates people like Mr. Cruz. Of course, there are marginal legal measures, but until we can understand this fundamental situation, horrible things will continue to happen.
What we are seeing is young men stuck in lives without a purpose and direction. Life is hard, and tragic; by turning to, using an older term like nihilism, it feeds and drives people like mass spree shooters.
For many, life is suffering. This should not be too surprising. People from Socrates to religious sages have understood how to embrace an existence of suffering. It plays an important role in a number of religions, such as consolation or relief; moral conduct and spiritual advancement through a life hardships or through self-imposed trials (mortification of the flesh, penance, asceticism).
The ‘Four Noble Truths’ of Buddhism are about dukkha, a term usually translated as suffering in the Dharma. Suffering is greatly defined in Buddhism and holds a key role in attaining the supreme bliss Nirvana. Understanding the nature of suffering, its cause, its cessation, and the way leading to its cessation (the Noble Eightfold Path) is the quintessential practice of Buddhism.
Because life is very difficult, you need to set something positive against that suffering, or it poisons you. This poison leads to vengefulness, many times leading to murderous and genocidal acts.
People like Cruz turn against life because life is so difficult, and there is nothing positive to balance it.
An element of this is the way we become ideologues because people lack genuine meaning in their own lives. According to philosophers and religious critics, this happens because we don’t understand how necessary it is to take responsibility. Instead, we flounder and flail about positing one or even a series of pseudosolutions (like gun control, protest marches, #killTheNRA, etc.).
An ideology is not the meaning of a life.
We see so many men from broken homes, growing up without a dad (9 of the recent spree shooters came from fatherless homes). The American culture has somewhat turned against them. How do these boys find meaning as part of a group, when the last fifty years has involved a concerted effort to feminize and eviscerate them? After a shooting, we hear the term toxic masculinity quite a bit.
How do our boys find meaning in their life, when society is at every turn is messaging them, sometimes even subliminally, saying you’re bad, worthless? You’re not needed.
Since the 1960s, formal criticism has propagated the idea that male competence is indistinguishable from male tyranny and power, so it should be all torn down.
A recent example was an article by Marcie Bianco, editorial and communications manager at Stanford University’s Clayman Institute for Gender Research. She wrote article in 21 NBC News attacking Elon Musk (Tesla, Space X) after his launching a Tesla car into space, where she wrote:
“The patriarchal race to colonize Mars is just another example of male entitlement…These men, particularly Musk, are not only heavily invested in who can get their rocket into space first, but in colonizing Mars.”
“The desire to colonize — to have unquestioned, unchallenged and automatic access to something, to any type of body, and to use it at will — is a patriarchal one.”
Bianco credits Musk with believing that they’re working to “save humanity”, yet, attacks his motivations, “It is the same instinctual and cultural force that teaches men that everything — and everyone — in their line of vision is theirs for the taking…You know, just like walking up to a woman and grabbing her by the p—-.”
Bianco describes Musk’s efforts as “Columbusing,” an “entitlement to power, control, domination and ownership” as well as “the presumed right to use and abuse something and then walk away to conquer and colonize something new.”
Instead of seeing Mr. Lusk’s quests as being something deeply personal and meaningful, and at the same time wonderful for all of us, he is described as being like a rapist.
Ms. Bianco is a brilliant person; however, the point has been driven home for some time. Late history has been all-out assault on the masculine spirit, and in a way, western competence.
If Western culture is perceived as a corrupt patriarchy, then the goal of course would be the destruction of the patriarchy. Boys have had to bear the brunt of this–the kids from Columbine High School, online and personally, somewhat described this sense of being lost and not belonging, a kind of formalized nothingness. Emasculated, weak men are not harmless, but always end up doing the most evil.
In his book, Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection, author Robert Cacioppo notes, the pain of isolation can make us more likely to lash out at the people we feel alienated from, loneliness “promotes an emphasis on short-term self-preservation, including an increase in implicit vigilance for social threats.” In other words, while “a sense of social connectednedness serves as a scaffold for the self, loneliness and alienation, rather than creating a yearning to engage with the world around them, creates a hyper-vigilance that others are out to do them harm, making it less likely they will be able connect meaningfully.
Our boys may be squeezed in the middle of an ongoing culture war, but that should not be the end of it. How do we tell them that it is really okay to be a man, masculinity is not toxic? How to we avoid the outcome of Columbine, and turn boys like this away from nihilism, and instead make them strong, confident, competent partners?
Back to suffering, fulfillment comes by accepting responsibility for it, for owning the tragic nature of life. Take on more, become someone others rely upon, someone they can trust. Take on burdens that make the world a little better, rather than a little worse. The alternative, the more readily accepted path is to succumb to ideological possession and collective action and group hatred and tribalism. We have recently been hearing the term “right-wing hate” quite often, however maybe everyone needs to take a look in the mirror.
What does it really mean to live a life? Your death ensures that your life will be tragic. Freedom comes from acceptance of life’s intrinsic nature, which is tragic.
There is evil in the world. Understand this, assume responsibility and move towards the light of good. This is an individual, not a group responsibility.
America (and most of the West) is an individualist culture. The confusion it is not so much about individual rights, but individual responsibility.
The idea of evil and mass shootings is hard to grasp, but it points to a failure with our young men. Our boys, we need to put on them, and they need to accept as much responsibility as they can. But we need to show them that, as men and adults, over our lives, we have strengthened and built ourselves up into individuals who can take on more responsibility. To accept that, is to accept grace and to find meaning and purpose in life.
By assuming responsibility, you also become more connected, and less alienated.
The hate we see is due to a refusal to accept responsibility for the tragedy of life, and we turn to the gang, the tribe—in most cases this is the political party or a fringe hate group (white supremacists, Anitifa, take your pick). The American political and cultural system has become a tribal battlefield.
To reject tribalism means you must also accept the terrible and awful responsibility, to accept suffering and carry that weight on your shoulders.
How do you justify the suffering? To realize that by accepting the weight and assuming the responsibility, the fuller your life becomes.
Of course, I understand the mockery this will generate. However, Christ’s fraternization with outcasts was interpreted by the Pharisees as an inexcusable compromise with sin; they did not see it for what it really was, an expression of the divine compassion towards sinners. Christ assumed an even larger responsibility a little later
.
Will we ever be able to stop mass shootings? Probably not, and no amount of government regulation is going to stop evil. It will always find a way. It will always find the gun, or knife or bomb.
As America gets bigger and more angry, and the tribes become more entrenched, more and more of our boys will fall through the cracks. It will take more than a nickel to fix this.

Letter: Mirror is missing information about the Bay Creek Connector Road
The Mirror been reporting on the Annexation Agreement and the Connector Road obligations for close to two years. While we have tried to be as thorough as possible, citizens still point out that we are usually missing more than we are getting. The following letter was sent to us, bringing up several points that we have overlooked.
So in 1991, The County filed a Motion to Dismiss the Town’s Annexation Petition, the Town responded and won the Special Annexation Court’s approval of the March 1990 Agreement (the Prior Agreement) between the Town and Brown & Root, and required a few additional obligations which formed the Town Agreement and thus the County having failed, agreed to the Terms of the Annexation Agreement (the Settlement Agreement) which resulted in the Court(s) Orders November 26, 1991. The Connector Road was in fact an exhibit presented during the Annexation proceedings and is shown to have been prepared and is dated April 30, 1991, The Martin Option and Purchase Agreement is dated May 9, 1991. in April 1991.
Do note that the Town sought from the General Assembly an updated Town charter during the 2002 Virginia General Assembly that the Annexation Orders were to be and are updated into the Town’s Charter. Hard to argue that the Connector Road and other matters like Utilities was forgotten or ‘old stuff’. Also why would the Town in 2002 be pushing for an amendment for Eminent Domain regarding roads?
CHAPTER 125
An Act to amend and reenact §§ 1.2, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, 3.5, 4.1, 4.4, 4.5, 4.8 and 4.9 of Chapter 340 of the Acts of Assembly of 1974, which provided a charter for the Town of Cape Charles, in Northampton County, to amend Chapter 340 by adding a section numbered 5.2, and to repeal § 6.1 of Chapter 340, relating to boundaries, powers, eminent domain, council elections and terms, duties of mayor, council appointments, duties of town manager, town treasurer and chief of police, revenues, and schools.
[H 611]
Approved March 11, 2002
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That §§ 1.2, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, 3.5, 4.1, 4.4, 4.5, 4.8 and 4.9 of Chapter 340 of the Acts of Assembly of 1974 are amended and reenacted and that Chapter 340 is amended by adding a section numbered 5.2 as follows:
§ 1.2. Boundaries.
The territory embraced within the town of Cape Charles is that territory in the county of Northampton, Virginia, established in Chapter 367 of the Acts of the General Assembly of 1938, pages 582-609, and that territory added by the orders in the annexation proceedings in the Circuit Court of Northampton County, Virginia, entered on November 13, 1957, and recorded in the Common Law Order Book 19, at pages 107-108 in the Clerk’s Office of said Court, and another; such order of annexation entered on September 24, 1965, and recorded in the Common Law Order Book 20, at page 341, in the Clerk’s Office of said Court; and an order of annexation entered on November 21, 1991, and recorded in the Civil Common Law Order Book, at page 619, in the Clerk’s Office of said Court.
§ 2.2. Adoption of Certain Sections of Code of Virginia.
The powers set forth in §§ 15.1-837 through 15.2-907, both inclusive of Chapter 18 of Title 15.1 Article 1 (§ 15.2-1100 et seq.) of Chapter 11 of Title 15.2 of the Code of Virginia, as in force on January 1, 1974 2002, and as may hereafter be amended, are hereby conferred on and vested in the town.
§ 2.3. Eminent Domain.
The powers of eminent domain set forth in Title 15.1 15.2,; Chapter 1.1 (§ 25-46.1 et seq.) of Title 25, Chapter 1.1; and § 33.1-121 of the Code of Virginia, as amended, and all acts amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, mutatis mutandis, are hereby conferred upon the town, subject to the provisions of § 25-233.
(a) In any case in which a petition for condemnation is filed by or on behalf of the town, a true copy of a resolution or ordinance duly adopted by the town council declaring the necessity for any taking or damaging of any property, within or without the town, for the public purposes of the town, shall be filed with the petition. The town may employ the procedures conferred by the foregoing laws, mutatis mutandis, and may, in addition thereto, proceed as hereinafter provided.
(b) Certificates issued pursuant to § 33.1-121 of the Code of Virginia, as amended, and acts amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, may be issued by the town council, signed by the mayor and countersigned by the town treasurer. Such certificate certificates shall have the same effect as certificates issued by the State Highway Commissioner, under the aforesaid laws, and may be issued in any case in which the town proposes to acquire property of any kind by the exercise of its powers of eminent domain for streets, water, sewers, and related matters, whether within or without the town.
(c) In addition to the powers conferred by the aforesaid laws, such certificates may be amended or canceled by the court having jurisdiction of the proceedings, upon petition of the town, at any time after the filing thereof; provided, that the court shall have jurisdiction to make such order for the payment of costs and damages, if any, or the refund of any excessive sums theretofore paid pursuant to such certificate certificates as shall, upon due notice and hearing, appear just. The court shall have jurisdiction to require refunding bonds, for good cause shown by the town or any other person or party in interest, prior to authorizing any distribution of funds pursuant to any certificate issued or deposit made by the town.
Note: Arguments that the new road is meant for the harbor seem odd, given that Bayshore is now closing up shop. So, we essentially have a $12 million dollar road, paid for at the taxpayer’s expense that only serves the purpose of getting folks in and out of the subdivision. Current and former members of the Northampton Board of Supervisors, as well as a Bay Creek controlled Cape Charles Town Council are fully aware of the obligations.
History Notes this week of Feb 25th
303AD: Roman Emperor Diocletian issues the first official Roman edict calling for the persecution of Christians. The decree gave license to hitherto unknown rampages against the Christian community, many of whom were now in significant positions within Roman society.
1565: Founding of Rio de Janeiro.
1570: Pope Pius V excommunicates Elizabeth I, Queen of England. This served to consolidate her position on the then-still-tenuous Protestant hold on the English crown.
1732: Birth of South Carolina militia commander and progenitor of the modern concept of irregular warfare, Francis Marion (d.1795). Marion’s nickname, “Swamp Fox,” gives a hint of the persistent threat he created for the British forces who had earlier routed the Continental Army at the Battle of Camden.
1779: Virginia Militia Colonel George Rogers Clark, the elder brother of William, captures Fort Vincennes (Indiana) from the British after a dramatic 180 mile march through the flooded flatlands of Illinois.
1779: Birth of Joel Roberts Poinsett (d.1851), a congressman, physician, botanist, statesman, and the first U.S. Minister to Mexico (prior to our sending an ambassador), where he spent a significant amount of time cataloging the varieties of flora in the southern part of the country. He is best known today for bringing to the United States the red-leafed “Christmas-Eve flower” that now bears his name.
1791: The French Republic, in response to an urgent need to deal with persistent English threats along the coast, builds the first of a tightly interlaced series of semaphore towers, or “optical telegraphs,” to rapidly communicate between the frontiers and the capital in Paris. The towers in France used a series of rotating and articulated arms to create coded characters. Other countries used different types of open and closed panels or different types of arms, but the principle remained the same: the most distant lookout would spot some kind of listed activity offshore and immediately report it to the next tower along the line. The towers themselves made excellent targets for military raids.
1807: Birth of American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
1815: Napoleon Bonaparte effects an escape from his island exile on Elba, not far from the coast of southern France.
1836: Lieutenant Colonel William Barret Travis, whose small Alamo garrison went under siege, dispatches courier Albert Martin with a letter announcing his urgent need for supplies and reinforcements to maintain a strategic American presence in the Texas territory north of the Rio Grande. Martin rode 70 miles to Gonzalez, which served as a rallying point for reinforcements over the next week. Travis’ words electrified the population, setting the stage for the upcoming battle to sear itself into the memories of every Texan.
1836: Samuel Colt is granted a US patent for the Colt revolver.
1845: President John Tyler signs a bill authorizing the annexation of the Republic of Texas. Texas is the only one of the Several States to have a legitimate secession clause in its annexation. Texas is, in fact, the only State that was annexed as a formerly sovereign state, not as a federal territory from which a State would be organized. The decade that surrounded Texas’s eventual integration into the United States remains a source of identity for Texans everywhere.
1854: The Republican Party of the United States is organized in Ripon, Wisconsin. The party coalesced around anti-slavery activism, and held as its motto: “Free labor, free land, and free men,” all of which was oriented on encouraging the growth of small business, including giving away government land, in order to overwhelm slavery with the reality of entrepreneurial success throughout the expanding nation. In 1856, John C. Fremont was it first Presidential nominee. In 1860 it was Abraham Lincoln.
1861: Tsar Alexander I abolishes serfdom in Russia.
1872: Yellowstone National Park is established.
1898: Birth of Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty, Irish priest from Killarney in County Cork, best known as “The Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican,” whose work in the diplomatic corps of the papal nuncio during the 1920s and 1930s climaxed in 1943-45 when he spearheaded Vatican resistance to the Nazi occupation of Rome. O’Flaherty sheltered and transferred to safety over 6,500 Allied POWs who escaped from their camps when the Italian government capitulated in September, 1943. His work was explicitly targeted by the head of Rome’s Gestapo, who failed to make a dent in the flow of prisoners sheltered by O’Flaherty’s organization. After the war, O’Flaherty was honored by Great Britain with the Order of British Empire (OBE) and in the United States by the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
1914: Death of Joshua Chamberlain, Colonel of 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry during the War Between the States, hero of Little Round Top at the Battle of Gettysburg, and the officer designated to receive the surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox
1924: Birth of Deke Slayton, one of the original 7 Mercury Astronauts, who had the distinction of being grounded from the flight program for reasons of a suspected heart murmur. He remained in NASA, however, becoming head of the Astronaut Office, which controlled astronaut selection and flight assignments. After completion of the dangerous and dramatic Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions, Slayton was finally released for flight as Docking Module Pilot of the Apollo-Soyouz Test Project, a 1975 earth orbital mission that set the conditions for continued U.S.- Russian cooperation in space
1932: Birth of Johnny Cash
1932: In England, birth of Elizabeth Taylor
1932: Charles Augustus Lindbergh III, infant son of Lucky Lindy and his wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh, is kidnapped from their home in East Amwell, NJ. In mid-May, the boy’s body was discovered not far from the Lindbergh’s home, with death indicated from a massive blow to the head.
1949: A USAF B-50 Superfortress, under the command of Captain James Gallagher, arrives at Carswell AFB in Fort Worth, after completing a 94 hour, non-stop circumnavigation of the globe. The crew performed four aerial refuelings, meeting Air Force tankers over Lajes airfield in the Azores, Dahran Airfield in Saudi Arabia, Clark AFB in the Philippines, and Hickam AFB in Hawaii.
1950: Birth of singer-songwriter and jazz drummer Karen Carpenter.
1953: Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin collapses from a stroke. He dies four days later.
1954: The United States detonates its first deliverable hydrogen bomb, code named “Shrimp,” as part of the CASTLE BRAVO series of nuclear tests at the Bikini atoll. The bomb yielded 15 megatons of energy, twice what was predicted. This was both the most powerful explosion in U.S. nuclear testing, and also the worst radiological disaster, as a snow-like fallout mist irradiated an area of over 7000 square miles downwind of the blast. The Marshall islands were evacuated (too late) and the crew of a Japanese fishing vessel suffered severe radiation burns, to say nothing of offloading their cargo of radioactive fish into the local market.
1964: 22 year old Cassius Clay defeats Sonny Liston for the boxing heavyweight title.
1993: Inspired by the “blind sheikh” Omar Abdul Raman, Islamic terrorists detonate a massive truck bomb in the parking garage of the World Trade Center’s north tower. Seven people are killed and over a thousand are injured by the attack. After his trial and conviction, his co-conspirators went on to finish the job eight years later.
2008: Death of William F. Buckley, Jr.. The founder of National Review and the godfather of the conservative intellectual movement, he made a brilliant impact on the Ivy League status quo with the publication of his first book, God and Man at Yale in 1951, the same year the young Yale graduate was recruited to the CIA. He worked two years for that organization and only knew the name of one supervisor, E. Howard Hunt. In 1955 Buckley published the first edition of the National Review, noting that its mission was to “…stand athwart History, shouting stop!” In addition to his print journalism, Buckley hosted the nation’s longest-running television program, PBS’ Firing Line. He was an avid sailor (making two crossings of the Atlantic, and one of the Pacific).
