LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Hello CXB Neighbor,

If you have been blessed to have experienced a July Chic's Beach sunset, then you have seen one of the true wondersof our great state of Virginia. As long as I have lived, my parents have shared with me their romance with the ChesapeakeBay and the gorgeous summer sunsets. If you step outside, you can almost hear the sounds of children playing, seagullscawing and gentle lapping of waves. I am a person who has had to overcome and succeed against odds. My nature hasalways been one of optimism and I try to see the good in all God lays before me. I believe those wonderful Chic's Beach

summer sunsets with friends and family the way it always has been...are in our future.

We will have changed.We will be wiser, stronger and more prepared.

In the present time we are living, we must follow the protocols that have been set in place. Doctors and experts havedetermined that maintaining distance from crowding decreases the opportunity for the virus to spread. There are varyingopinions as to the virulence of COVID-19, but all the epidemiologists agree that elimination of the exponential factor is whatsaves the most lives. It is our duty to each other as good abiding citizens to follow these recommendations. We may not allagree wholeheartedly but we should agree that we value our neighbors and the welfare of all. It may not be you personallybut it could be your grandfather or grandmother who we are saving. There is a cost for the general welfare and it isextensive and far reaching. The costs of these measures are ripping the columns that support our economy. It seems thatthe most vulnerable to these measures are our industries of service.

Charitable giving is a personal issue, and in these times of trouble we all do what we can. I encourage those that canafford to try and help out by utilizing these industries. I posted recently that I had ordered from HK on the Bay, Green Parrotand Zia Maria and encouraged us to support them now, or we may not be able to enjoy those establishments when this isall over. There are so many more and I pray that we can manage to preserve some wonderful businesses that havebecome part of what makes our community so unique.

I have been on the Executive Board for the civic league for many years now. It has been my goal to align the civicleague with positive social events to bring our neighborhood together. For the most part I feel we have achieved that goal.That is what it is so painful for me now with the Executive Orders that we now live under. The Governor has mandated a"Stay-at-Home" order until June 10th.

This order forced us to cancel the Community Easter Egg Hunt on the Bayside Christian Church grounds onApril 5th.

We will also be postponing the CXB 5K that was scheduled for May 30th until further notice.We will also be postponing the CXB Summer Picnic that was scheduled for June 13th until further notice.

None of this is good news but it is necessary. Please rest assured we will be continuing to try to improve ourneighborhood in other ways. We are a neighborhood with great human resource. I encourage you all to give time, talent ortreasure to our community and to your fellow citizens.

I have seen several examples of this on Facebook such as live music events by Steve Ambrose and Fred Karam. Takethis situation we are forced into and make the most of it. Spend time with your families. There may never be another timewhere you can write the book you have always talked about or paint a work of art. Enjoy the things we have taken long forgranted. This is a time we can unplug from the socioeconomic matrix we have become oblivious to. This event does nothave to hold us captive to our fear. This is a reminder of how fragile we are and brings us closer to things that are moreimportant.

All is Well,

Dr. T.J. Morgan

Child Care During a Crisis

For essential personnel with children, this can be a difficult time. Thankfully, The Virginia Department of Social Services(VDSS) and Child Care Aware are working closely with local partners to activate emergency procedures to be sure thesefolks and their families are cared for. Families who cannot work remotely and who need child care can visit vachildcare.comto complete an online search for care...Or, you can just keep reading, because I have navigated the process for you! Butfirst, you may have some questions...I know I did.

1. What about the Social Distancing? Settings are limited to 10 individuals per room (including staff), per GovernorNortham's directive. Centers implement small groups and encourage individual play/activities. They keep the small groupstogether throughout the day and do not combine groups. They spread the children out throughout the classroom and usereminders to stay 6ft away from each other.2. Infection Control and Sanitation: Facilities are directed to practice frequent hand washing with soap and water for atleast 20 seconds and require hand washing upon arriving at the program, when entering the classroom, before meals orsnacks, after outside time, after going to the bathroom, and prior to leaving for home. These facilities are helping youngchildren to ensure they are doing it effectively. If soap and water are not readily available, they are using an alcohol-basedhand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Facilities must sanitize frequently touched surfaces and provide adequate suppliesfor good hygiene, including clean and functional hand washing stations, soap, paper towels, and alcohol‐based handsanitizer.3. Which facilities are eligible? Eligible facilities are existing licensed family day homes, voluntarily registered family dayhomes, licensed child day centers, religiously exempt child day centers, and unlicensed child day programs that areapproved subsidy vendors. Facilities must certify that they are providing or are willing to provide care for children ofessential personnel during the grant cycle (April, May, and June) and must attest that they are following enhanced healthand safety guidelines. Facilities must submit a CARES Grant Application Form for approval and submit the requireddocumentation. Facilities must provide additional information or documentation as requested.4. Defining Essential Personnel: These examples are not exhaustive and the definition of essential personnel mayevolve as needed to respond to the crisis. -Providers of healthcare including, but not limited to, workers at clinics, hospitals, Federally Qualified Health Centers(FQHCs), nursing homes, long-term care and post-acute care facilities, respite houses, designated agencies andemergency medical services;-Essential government employees including public health employees and employees who oversee or support all the otherfunctions included in this list;-Criminal justice personnel including those in law enforcement, courts, and correctional services; -Police, firefighters, and military;-Employees who operate shelters or other essential services for adults, children and families; -Employees who ensure continuity of basic services such as electricity/gas, water, internet, plumbing, sanitation andgarbage removal;-Employees who ensure essential transportation including public transportation, trucking and health care-related

DID YOU KNOW? "CHESAPEAKE PEOPLE"The Chesepian or Chesapeake were a Native American tribe who inhabited South Hampton Roads. The Chesepian hadtwo towns (or villages), Apasus and Chesepioc, both near the Chesapeake Bay. Of these, Chesepioc was known to havebeen located in the present Great Neck area. Archaeologists and other persons have found numerous Native American

artifacts, such as arrowheads, stone axes, pottery and beads in Great Neck Point. Several buried remains of the indigenouspeople have been found in this area as well. According to William Strachey's The Historie of Travaile into Virginia

Britannia (1618), the Chesepian were wiped out by the Powhatan, the paramount head of the Virginia Peninsula-basedPowhatan Confederacy, some time before the arrival of the English at Jamestown in 1607. The Chesepian were eliminatedbecause Powhatan's priests had warned him that "from the Chesapeake Bay a nation should arise, which should dissolve

and give end to his empire".Sources: Helec RountreeThe Powhatan Indians of Virginia: Their Traditional Culture

WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?While we're all stuck at home working and homeschooling, our dogs are living the life they'd always dreamed of. A whole

house full of people 24 hours of the day, 7 days a week. The best part is, they have nothing but time on their hands! Peoplewalk their dogs around the block several times a day just to get out of the house. The dogs are (happily) exhausted!

Inspired by these adorable creatures and social isolation...We introduce to you...THE DOGS OF CHIC'S BEACH:

Should I sell my house? Advice from homelight.com: Selling your home now versus in a few months could beadvantageous from a pricing perspective. We know that the market was hot before the Coronavirus hit and that sellers maybe able to still command a value reflective of the economic expansion that preceded this crisis. However, as tens of millionsof Americans face losing their jobs, a recession is imminent or already taking shape. The best thing you can do is connectwith a top local agent to find out what your options are and how the market’s faring in your neck of the woods. Their job is

to provide you with the facts so you can determine what’s best for you.

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH REPORTHi neighbors.

Neighborhood Watch is much more than reporting crime, it is about ensuring the safety of our neighbors. Can you say youknow the neighbors that surround your home? If not, and if you are able, take a minute to knock and introduce yourself, orleave a kind note. Ask if they are ok. Help if you can. Offer your phone number and ask for theirs. Ask if you can check onthem from time to time to make sure they are safe. If you can’t find what you need on store shelves, imagine what may be

going through the minds of those that are physically challenged, are ill, are without transportation, etc. Truly one of thethings I LOVE about CXB is the sense of community. Let’s be good neighbors and try to keep our neighbors safe.

Sincerely, Jenny and Priestly CXB NW Coordinators

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Heat a BIG oven safe skillet over MED heat. Add oil and ground beef and cookabout 4 minutes, or until cooked through, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Once browned, transfer to a

plate. If needed, drain excess grease before adding the beef to a plate. 2. Add butter to same skillet. Once melted, add onion, carrots, mushrooms, garlic, dried oregano, and 1/2 the salt.

Cook, stirring occasionally, about 8-10 minutes. 3. Add in tomato paste, stirring to combine, and cook 5-7 minutes, until tomato paste is a dark, brick red color (this really

brings out the tomato flavor). 4. Return cooked ground beef to the skillet, then stir in beef stock, Worcestershire sauce remaining salt, and black

minced fresh parsley and enjoy!

THOSE WHO FOUGHT ARE WORTH THE FIGHTJordan Hebenstreit is a Chic’s Beach resident, Executive Director and Founder of his nonprofit organization, Salvage USA,

as well as a new corporate sponsor of the Chesapeake Beach Civic League. Jordan has experienced the loss of analarming amount of friends to suicide and drug overdose, all of whom were combat veterans. Salvage USA will reduce

preventable casualties as a result of their combat experience.This tax-deductible organization integrates with the Active Duty Special Operations community before they leave the

military to ensure a smooth transition into civilian life. Salvage USA provides all expenses paid expeditions to build life-longbonds in a like-minded community with the oversight of mental health professionals. This is only possible through the

generous donations of our individual and corporate sponsors.Life in the special operations community is very different. Service members are part of not only a team, but a family where

they experience everything together. When they decide to leave the military, they no longer have that tight knit family.Salvage USA bridges that gap. The board is made up of members, either veterans or active duty members, who realizefirsthand how important those bonds are. Salvage USA ensures our military operators know that our community is only a

phone call away.Jordan served as a Marine Corps Reconnaissance Scout Sniper for 5 years, and is a combat veteran. After the Marines, he

continued his service overseas for an additional 9 years in hostile countries for the U.S. Government. His wife Krista, is aNaval Academy graduate currently serving a Ship’s Navigator onboard USS WASP (LHD-1). Jordan and his family enjoy

They ask that you place youritems on the curb in the designated pickup window they offer you during your phone call. They also ask that youremain in your home and do try to make contact with the drivers.Use your spare paint. It's amazing how refreshing a coat of paint can be. Many of us have old paint cans stored in thegarage. Pick a small hallway or room and give it a facelift. Lace up those workout shoes. If your gym is closed, find at-home workouts or go for long solo runs. A healthy bodyand mind is exactly what you need to get through the next two months.

Pro-Tip: Because the tentative end date is June 10, and it puts us right in beach season...You can use the next twomonths to work on that beach body AND to knock out any projects that have been on your to-do list. That way, you cansit on the beach for the rest of the summer with absolutely no guilt about what you should or could be doing. It's myplan for sure!!

SEECLICKFIXHave you ever wished someone would come fix the pothole in the road? Clean the ditches that cause the streets to flood?

Fix that sign that was knocked over last month?SeeClickFix is a web tool designed to help citizens report non-emergency issues to the proper local government officials. Ithas a free mobile app, which can tag your location (if you choose), upload pictures directly, and notify you of the status of

your issue.Here’s how it works:

You sign up as a Citizen. It doesn't ask you personal questions beyond name and address. Download the mobile app. If

you see an issue, take a picture, go to “report an issue”, upload the picture and describe the issue.Once you’ve posted your issue, other citizens have the opportunity to “vote” on your issue and/or to share it. The votes

rank your issue by importance and get a bit more attention; however the city does respond to EVERY issue posted.This is a great tool to be sure your complaint doesn't get lost in the shuffle. You can log back in periodically to see the

status of your issue. We recommend this app for everyone!https://seeclickfix.com/virginia-beach
