(Eastern Shore Post excerpt)
The Accomack County Board of Supervisors Wednesday approved rezoning and a conditional use permit for a proposed mixed-use development with 140 townhouses, planned to be rentals, on property surrounded on three sides by the Captains Cove community. The two 8-1 votes, with Supervisor Paul Muhly voting no, came after public hearings in which 13 Captains Cove residents spoke against the development, citing concerns about the developer’s plan to use Captains Cove’s private road, Captains Corridor, to access the new development and to use Captains Cove’s water and sewer utilities to serve it, among other concerns.

Celebrating their win
The Crisfield High School Marching Band — nicknamed “The Pride of Somerset” — brought home two more trophies after competing at Music in the Parks at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. The band was a first place and overall winner in the High School Parade category and upon their return home they were escorted into town by police, EMS and Marion and Crisfield fire departments. The band is under the direction of Heather McHenry, assisted by alumni Chris Ford (percussion) and Lynne Johnson (majorettes). Seniors Kolby Harris and Joelle Whitelock are the drum majors and Addyson Ritz is band captain. The Band Boosters made the May 7 trip possible, and it included time for everyone to enjoy the park.

Throwback Thursday – The Aquaculture Riots – DelmarvaLife
(CNN) -- Ashley Judd and her family wanted the world to hear from them how Naomi Judd died.
The younger Judd appeared in an interview with Diane Sawyer, which aired on Thursday on "Good Morning America." She said her family had agreed that she share the cause of death of her mother.
"She used a weapon," Ashley Judd said. "A firearm. So that's the piece of information we're very uncomfortable sharing."
