380th Army Band Brass Quintet EOV Quarterly Responders ... · 380th Army Band Brass Quintet ....

Like many neighborhoods in Norfolk, East Beach celebrated the 4th of July with a patriotic neighborhood parade. The day began with breakfast for the over 500 participants followed by the national anthem, and a special guest appearance by Benjamin Franklin at the top of the tower reading the preamble to the Declaration of Independence. The Norfolk Fire Department provided a fire truck from Station 16 for static display, a hit with the children! The 380th Army Band Brass Quintet provided wonderful patriotic music and the Navy Color Guard presented the flag. Attending the ceremony was Mayor Kenney Alexander.

The parade consisted of red white and blue decorated bicycles, wagons, strollers, skateboards, golf carts, pets and people. While East Beach honors the military each year at this event, this year it also celebrated First Responders.

East Beach is proud that many Active Duty military and First Responders call our community home, so to highlight this tradition of service among our residents, the Grand Marshall this year was resident Jimmy Carter, retired Virginia Beach Fire Chief representing First Responders as well as residents in uniform representing our Military: Cdr. C. Todd Winters, USN, Cdr. Rosie Goscinski, USN Lt. Cdr. Brett Kirwan, USN, Capt. Alexandra Borza, USA and Lt. Ryan Feingold, USN.

What a summer it has been! Nothing but rain in July and now heat for August. The weather however has not slowed down the progress I continue to see in our community! We had a wonderful presentation in July by the Bonaventure Development Team regarding their plans to replace the Little Creek Marina “high and dry” on Pretty Lake Ave with Senior apartments. The amenities this waterfront project will offer those who are 62+ include a gym, pool, business center and 2 meals per day. Another project, the apartments in front of Long Boards, also seems to be on track and I am told Zimmer Development utilized public input in their design to include access around the buildings with a walking path. The marina will keep the 114 slips but offer boat owners some of the community amenities. Both projects should be coming out of the ground in about a year with occupancy planned for 2020. In addition, we have progress on the Surf Rider re-build which promises to bring us a new upscale restaurant next year. The Tern continues to move through the Planning and Zoning departments and 2019 should see them start to build that townhouse project located behind the 7/11 on Pleasant Ave and will include 16,000 square feet of retail space on East Ocean View Ave to include another new restaurant.

I was sad to learn Razzo’s will be leaving for their new digs in the old Fire Station at Little Creek and Hampton Blvd, but I’m told a very nice tea/coffee shop should be coming to that location. Then we lost Mona Lisa’s to the Medical Center’s expansion. Tommy is doing well at his new location on Military Highway and promises to deliver to EOV when you just need a special Mona Lisa’s pizza.

Change is our new constant. We are welcoming new neighbors every week. I hope everyone can feel the energy and embraces our special community on the Bay. Your Civic League is working hard to make sure neighbors are included and projects are vetted properly. We received our 501©4 designation this summer and hope that will translate into new opportunities to help the community. We look forward to some engaging speakers this fall including our Mayor in November. Stay involved and stay tuned, change is coming!

East Ocean View News

since the present Treasurer was indicted and convicted. Bay Oaks Park Update - Phase 3 of the Bay Oaks Park Project is underway and interior and exterior graded pathways are being completed, as well 2 storm water ponds. The budget is $500K for these items.

In April, we had 4 speakers: Gabriel Phelps, Department of Public Utilities who gave the membership an update on the Pleasant Avenue project, replacing water lines. He reported they are making great progress and are up to 11th Bay. Then they begin the sewer lines. Next we had Jeremy Sharpe, Norfolk Planning Department who discussed a new overlay for EOV to be called the Coastal Character District. The goal of the Coastal Character District Committee is to make the Bay Front a different character from the rest of the City. They want it to be unique and not ‘one size fits all’ in nature. Their goal is the buildings have different heights, different setbacks. Next we had SW Dawson, Candidate for the Commonwealth

Attorney. After serving as a very successful Defense counselor for a number of years he feels called to change sides and work for the prosecution as he has come to see that there are real bad guys out there and wants to become a part of alleviating this problem as the Commonwealth Attorney. He is passionate about the fact that too many bad guys are getting slapped on the wrist and he wants to be part of making that come to an end. Violent criminal offenders will get his major focus. He states that Norfolk has a serious gang problem and that has to be addressed. He is less focused on petty offenders and fielded a couple of questions in that area. Mr. Dawson is passionate about making changes and does not believe in plea deals, especially for drugs. Our last speaker was Pat Clark of the East Beach Writers Guild. The Writers Group began five years ago and produced the book, By the Bay, a series of short stories that they published and sold both locally and on Amazon. They have just finished their second book, By the Bay II, and that can be found on Amazon.

Housing on Pretty Lake

There was a special Civic League meeting on July 31st at the Rec Center so that the Bonaventure Company could bring the neighborhood up to date on their projected Senior Living Community on Pretty Lake Avenue. This development will be next to Cutty Sark and the Little Creek Marina. They plan to have the Pretty Lake Marina open in 16 months, sometime in 2019. They will own the marina and it will figure into its planning with 131 boat slips.The building will be four stories with 132 units proposed that include a few efficiencies, 1 bedroom units (73%, 700 to 800 sq. feet), and two bedroom units with a den (1100 sq. feet). There will be a swimming pool and fitness center and is pet friendly.

This housing project will be for Seniors 62 years and above. Typically, these developments have residents 82 years old and above and are 75% female. The establishment provides

two meals a day, housekeeping, fitness and wellness opportunities, and will have a health care provider on site. They also plan to provide a shuttle service for residents to use for transportation. There are also options for home health care. Cost will range from $3000 a month upward. The developer needs to get a zoning variance for the site and hopes to fall into the CCRC (Continuous Care Retirement Community) designation with the City of Norfolk.

Dogs on the Beach and other InformationSummer is half over now, but it is never too late to learn a little about the city’s rules. These rules are in fact part of the city’s municipal ordinance. It’s the law, in other words ! Dogs on the Beach (and other animals as well) are PROHIBITED from 10AM until 6PM, during the summer season which the city defines as between the Saturday BEFORE Memorial Day and Labor Day.

The City’s off leash permit rules do NOT make an exception to these times. It doesn’t matter if you have a permit for an unleashed dog. During other times, from 6 PM until 10AM the following day, dogs are allowed IF THEY ARE LEASHED, and the rules says the leash must be 8’ or shorter. An exception to the leash requirement (but NOT the time restriction) allows an owner who has an OFF LEASH PERMIT, to let the dog free provided the owner HAS THE PERMIT WITH HIM (or her).

There is also a requirement that you clean up after your dog. In fact, that rule is simply an acknowledgement of what I would call being respectful of others. Norfolk does have a number of dog parks where under certain conditions, dogs can be free and not on a leash. The closest dog park is in West Ocean View.

There is also an ordinance prohibiting anyone on the rocks along the shore line. This rule is little more than common sense. The rocks have become slippery and therefore extremely dangerous.

STAY OFF THE ROCKS!

As seen through the eyes of the EOVBAA Coach Dwight McDowell

My wife Angela and I founded our sports ministry to the EOV community—the East Ocean View Beach Athletic Association (EOVBAA)—20 years ago, and each year we get so much more than we can imagine! Our financial budget seems to shrink each year, but our trust in God has grown. By this I mean we continue to receive support and backing from community organizations such as the EOV Civic League at critical times. Your EOVCL donation this summer to help sponsor our Back to School Youth Survival Seminar (YSS), as well as support for our fall and winter for soccer is truly appreciated. Beyond your financial support, many volunteered and helped us throughout the year. Thank you all for your support and your efforts to work together as a community! My wife Angela and I are honored to serve in EOV these many years.

In addition to the EOVCL, I need to thank others that we feel are giant helpers in our community. Bon Secours and Healthy Communities, led by Ms. Joanne Merinar and her awesome team, have helped the EOVBAA so much. Thank you for being there as we continue shaping, molding and guiding young people in EOV. Thanks also to the EOV Community Center Staff led by Ms. Dana Andrews, the New Life Christian Center (best Christmas Carolers EVER!), The Store House, and to all other 2015 volunteers. We appreciate you and desire God’s absolute best for you. You Guys Rock!!!!!

If you didn’t get to work with us in 2015, we invite you to join us in 2016. Our ongoing mission is to make EOV an even better place to live and play.

This is the fourth in a continuing series of articles about music—in this case combining the New Commonwealth Quartet (members of the Virginia Symphony whom I’ve written about before) and the Symphony itself, preceded by a lecture on the medicinal benefits of music.

First, just imagine “stringing together” (sorry for the pun) four instruments, two of which are the same but playing different melodies, in perfect harmony for 25 minutes. And that’s just one piece; there are thousands! The members of the New Commonwealth Quartet performed that one piece by Franz Schubert—the “Rosamunde” Quartet, Opus 13, in four movements—at East Beach recently, and they did it perfectly! The piece, written sometime between February and March of 1824, was one of his better known ones. Schubert was famous for his melodies, especially those in songs he composed for voice. Melody was very present throughout this quartet, as well as his vocal compositions.

Now imagine a scientific approach to the musical experience! That was the focus of Dr. Kamal Chemali, a neurologist with Sentara HealthCare, at Chrysler Hall recently, who lectured just before a presentation by the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, led by Joann Falletta. The pieces—from Mendelsson, Chopin and Brahms—were chosen because the composers all suffered from some sort of debilitating illness, and it was music that helped them get through life. Chemali and pianist Prisca Benoit, Sentara Artist-in-Resident, hosted the

90-minute lecture-concert highlighting the beneficial and therapeutic effects of music on health and disease. Music has a powerful therapeutic effect on the body, and scientific research has proven that the body benefits when music is played.

“Music,” Chemali said, “is simply a bunch of molecules vibrating off the tympanic membrane. It is the first place music is created.” He did add later that, “music affects the soul…and affects emotions and feelings,” so it wasn’t an entirely doctrinaire approach! Through music, Chemali said, parts of the brain damaged by disease can be reactivated. Patients, whose language has been affected by stroke, often improve when music is added to their treatment. Music can also improve gait stability, blood pressure, pain levels, anxiety and cognition. The Sentara Music and Medicine Center focuses on integrating music-based interventions as a treatment for improving the quality of life for patients, caregivers and members of the community. Benoit, a French pianist, was the featured musician in Chopin’s Concerto No. 2 for Piano and Orchestra. She has incorporated the principles of paramedical specialties into her piano pedagogy, and has collaborated for many years with Dr. Kamal Chémali in researching the relation between music and medicine. Falleta, for her part, concluded by saying, “We hope you take this home and your body and soul have been nourished!”

I think I feel better already!

In 2010, a group of Norfolk Master Gardeners (who call themselves “the Dunies”), in partnership with the City of Norfolk Wetlands Board and East Beach Company LLC, began a project at the north end of 27th Bay Street in East Beach. It was called the “Native Dune Demonstration Garden.” The goal was to promote the aesthetic beauty of a flower garden using native plants--such as Cape American Beach Grass, Blue Toadflax, Chicory, Horsemint and Dune Elder--and to encourage conservation and protection of the dune. Interestingly, there are weeds in the garden, and many are left, either because they can’t pull them all or because many of them are pretty. They also help hold the sand in place.

Four years later, as highlighted in a 2013 Virginian-Pilot article, it is a success story. Not only have local homeowners begun to use native plants in private yards close to the Chesapeake Bay, so too have landscapers begun recommending similar blends.

To date, over 1000 documented personal contacts have been made by the Master Gardeners with visitors at the garden. And that is in addition to countless other visitors to the dune who can read the sign explaining the purpose and the flowers; pick up a free dune book mark at the Little Creek Branch Library of Norfolk; or simply learn by word of mouth.

Donna Keuren, one of the Master Gardeners, perhaps sums it up best: “…the dune represents more than just a beautiful transition between ocean and our lives on land. It now represents hope and renewal.” All are welcome to visit anytime! I will note the dune is and always be fragile, and that maintaining a dune garden is best done without walking on it.

City Beach DedicationBy Ann Bolen

I was pleased to attend the dedication of the City Beach historical marker on June 7, 2018. Located on 27th Bay in East Beach, the marker commemorates a well known African American beach created on June 16, 1935 with amenities that included a bathhouse, boardwalk and recreation hall. This beach was the scene of gatherings by families, church groups and other organizations for many years with bathing and basking by day and barbecues in the sand after sunset. Ms. Juanita Smith of East Beach spoke eloquently about her time at City Beach as her grandparents were the beach caretakers while she was growing up. Many of the attendees at the dedication shared wonderful memories from their summers at City Beach.

What is Norfolk Cares?

[Taken from a publication from the City of Norfolk]

The Norfolk Cares Assistance Center was established in direct response to requests from Norfolk residents and City Council to improve the processing of resident complaints and concerns. By dialing 664-6510, residents can report concerns, obtain information on any city service or check on the city’s response to previous complaints and requests for service.

The number is staffed Monday through Friday from 8am to 6pm. After hours, residents are welcome to leave a message concerning a complaint or request for services. This call will be processed as soon as the staff arrives the next business day. You may also register a concern or request online at norfolk.gov and click on the CARE CENTER tab.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CORRECT A PROBLEM?

The length of time to correct a problem or respond to a request will vary. Many violations, by law, require specified amounts of time to correct the violation, while others may be taken to court. In some instances, the problem may not be a violation under City law and resolutions will be more complex.

All complaints are kept confidential and will not be revealed to anyone except city staff members or through F.O.I.A. requests. Please understand due to ‘privacy issues’ we may not be able to tell you what is happening unless you are the property owner of said property.

• Whether entering or exiting, always lock your vehicle.• View the interior of the vehicle before entering to

ensure no one is hiding inside, even if the doors were locked.

• Have your keys in hand so you do not have to linger before entering your car.

• Travel on well-lit streets and keep your purse out of sight.

• If you have car trouble in a dark area, raise the hood of your car, lock yourself in, and wait for the police to arrive.

• If a stranger offers to help, do not get out of your car. Ask the person to call for assistance.

• Do not stop to offer help to a stranded motorist. Call for assistance.

• If you suspect someone is following you, drive to the nearest service station, restaurant, police station, etc., and blow the horn.

• Try to avoid isolated bus stops.• Sit near other passengers or near the driver.• If someone bothers you, tell the driver immediately.

• Do not carry large sums of money in your purse.• If possible, carry a small purse, tucked from view,

under your arm or coat.• Be wary of strangers.• If someone grabs your purse, do not resist.

Summer 2018

In 1998, Amy Waters Yarsinski published Ocean View, one in the series of her books, Images of America. It is published by Arcadia Publishing of Dover, NH. Ms. Yarsinski is the president of the Norfolk Historical Society and the author of the acclaimed Winter Comes to Norfolk and Virginia Beach. Her publication presents a comprehensive pictorial of the history of Ocean View. It is my pleasure to have known Ms. Yarsinski in her high school years and I excerpt from her book with her gracious permission.

At one time Norfolk had two seaside resorts on it Chesapeake Bay Shore: Ocean View and Willoughby Beach. The first, Ocean View, was developed in early 1854, and by January 1855, the city’s first seaside resort was being advertised for tourists. The Ocean View Company promoted the area on the basis of its beautiful cool water, and its actual views of the Atlantic Ocean beyond Cape Henry… Forty-two business men bought lots at Ocean View and all but three were local businessmen.

Before the Civil War there were only five summerhouses constructed and they were clustered near the present day northern terminus of Granby Street. In 1885, the newly formed Ocean View Company purchased ten acres of waterfront property at Ocean View in order to build a summer resort. This project was stalled during the Civil War but the notion of a resort at Ocean View became popular again in 1870. After the war, people began to return to Ocean View for relaxation and recreation. There was an influx of visitors from the North and from Florida, and as the resort’s reputation spread, so did the

geographic diversity of its patrons. People came to visit and stayed.

As soon as the railroad connection between Norfolk and Ocean View was established, construction began on a hotel, pavilions and a few cottages. This would be the start of what became the Ocean View Amusement Park. It was the railroad that was responsible for the construction of the Amusement Park. The goal was to build ridership and make money and having the Ocean View Amusement Park at the end of the line proved a great boon for them. The roller coaster was added in 1905, and named Leap-the Dip for its sharp ups and downs ride that caused the rider to feel they were leaping from one dip to the next. Roller coasters of this era were built of wood and therefore, fire was a threat. In 1914 the original roller coaster did burn and was replaced by a new and improved version that included new technology and safety devices.

Fishermen loved Ocean View because of the abundance of spot, a fish that was so plentiful that fishermen could catch several hundred in an hour’s time. The fishing, bathing, boating, camping and recreational opportunities made Ocean View an ideal destination for families. It was an ideal park-like setting where visitors could take walks along the seaside, hear concerts, dance to local bands, and visit the amusement park.

How special to realize that much of what made OV great is still true today!

Virginia Natural Gas project

EOV from E. Ocean View Ave and Shore Drive to 14th Bay Street to Pretty Lake will experience the Pipeline Replacement Project in the coming months. The job will replace the Gas Main, replace service lines and relocate meters and then restore the project area. If you have any questions or concerns, the project hot line is: 757-616-7565.

Water and Sewer project

Gabriel Phillips, the Civic Engineer on the Water/Sewer project in our community let us know Phase 5 will begin the last week of August. It will start on 19th Bay Street first, which we should be wrapping up by the end of January 2019. They will then replace the water and sewer on 20th Bay Street. This is anticipated to be complete by June 2019.

Summer Reading at RECIf you were a Volunteer Reader this summer at REC, you witnessed some magic! Organized by Maria O’Hearn and Jill McCann, the Summer Reading Program at the REC center gave the children in the summer program age-appropriate books and chances to read those books together. Tuesdays and Thursdays in July and August saw some very attentive children reading and discussing books! All of the children went home with at least 2 books of their own at the end of the program which was funded through the generosity of residents of EOV and book lovers who wanted to share with these children the magic of reading.

Street Light Repair ProjectEOV residents gathered on June 21st to help LIGHT UP OUR COMMUNITY. Volunteers walked the streets of EOV and recorded the inoperable streetlights. 49 street lights were identified as needing repairs and the report was given to Dominion Power. Thanks to all the volunteers and to Ms. Thelma Drake who helped get our report into the right hands for immediate action.
