What are you doing Saturday night?

I know where I'll be... And I hope to hang out with some of my nearest and dearest. Or make some new friends. Either way, hope that you'll come out and show your love for one of our favorite bands!

Continuing News...

Our town obviously continues to be deeply affected by the senseless loss of life that occurred on July 4th. It has pulled residents together and made us hold the people we love just a little closer. We are heartened to know that locals who don't even know the family of the victim are doing what they can to be of service during this difficult time. Our heartfelt condolences go to the Morris family.

Chief Robshaw of the Cheverly Police Department emphasizes that this was not a random act; you should feel as safe and secure in our neighborhood as you felt on July 3.

Our favorite local blog -- ChvBlog -- continues to do a very thorough, conscientious job of keeping in contact with Chief Robshaw and helping to get accurate information out to the community. We urge you to go to ChvBlog (http://www.chvblog.blogspot.com) to learn the latest information available and find out about how you might be helpful.

July 4th Homicide in Cheverly

As details emerge about the homicide that took place in town on Saturday, ChvBlog has done a great job of keeping in touch with Cheverly Police Department's Chief Buddy Robshaw. CHVchick urges our readers to read through the ChvBlog posts concerning this crime to learn what the police are doing and how you may be able to help. Crime Solvers is offering a $25,000 reward in this case so please help get the word out and contact the police with any information you may have.

The suspect is believed to be a black male, 6' 0" tall, with a thin build and light complexion. The police believe that the original argument that lead to the shooting may have begun at the St. Ambrose basketball court and the victim was returning from that location prior to the shooting.The police have reason to believe that some of our younger Cheverly residents may know the identity of the suspect or may have heard details about the shooting from their friends. They are strongly urging the parents of teenagers to talk to their kids about this and report any information as soon as possible to the police. Have information? Please contact Cheverly Police Department at 301-341-1055 or email the chief at policechief@cheverly-md.gov.

CHVchick also reminds our readers to stick with the facts -- not hearsay -- in discussions with your neighbors and friends. Idle speculation in a case like this will not help, and may even make things worse. It is a trying time for our community, but if we pull together and keep level heads, we'll get through it.

Our deepest condolences go to the family of the victim, 22 year-old Spencer Morris III, of the 3300 block of Cheverly Avenue. Our hearts are with you during this terribly difficult time.

What's going on in Cheverly this Weekend?

The answer? A lot!

First up, Cheverly Community Market brings you loads of amazing produce and other tasty treats. If you haven't come to the Market, try it! There are tables set up, so you can grab a pastry, a cup of coffee and some fruit, pull up a chair and hang out while you catch up with friends (maybe even make new ones) and listen to the band. I know a lot of Cheverly kids who enjoy a special ice cream/cake pop/pastry breakfast every two weeks! There's a complete list of vendors (and an overview of what they're bringing) on the Market blog.



Saturday night brings Cheverly Swim & Racquet Club's annual Adult Night -- a celebration that was saved this year by you intrepid Cheverly (and surrounding areas) fans of all things fun. Thank you for supporting this special night -- the CHVchicks are looking forward to seeing you at the pool! Tickets are still available -- head down to the pool to purchase yours!
Know of anything else going on in town this weekend? Let us know!

How are you spending your summer?

The CHVchicks are flung far and wide this summer. One is a continent away, one is busy, busy, busy, and two seem to be spending most of their summer at the pool. Personally, I'm trying to make every summer day spent in Cheverly feel like a day spent at the beach.

So what are you doing?

Good news from Micah Watson...

This just arrived from Ward 2 Council Member Micah Watson:

" All: We have a kernel of good news to report from the County Planning Board - they voted yesterday to DENY the special exception sought by Kenilworth Foreign Car Parts to formalize their junk yard just off of Sheriff Road behind Marblewood Street (south of our Metro station, or southwest of Boyd Park. The property is half a block from the Town boundary at Reed St.)

This vote was just the first step towards killing this absurd and destructive idea - so let's not uncork the champagne yet. But progress is progress. Special thanks to Cheverly's Planning Board, Town Administrator David Warrington, Mayor Mosley, Council Member Callahan, Leila Price, Jeannie Robinson, Thelma Boyd-Nash and many other folks inside and outside Town who testified against the special exception or contributed arguments.

Defeating this application is one of the Council's top priorities this spring, and we'll keep the appropriate feet to the fire.

Also, next Thursday June 25 is the regular June Worksession. You can always find the updated agenda here: http://www.cheverly-md.gov/Pages/CheverlyMD_TownAgenda/"

Thanks for sharing this, Micah. Your constituents appreciate being kept in the loop. I love this new area of communication!
