Free April 23, 2021 Abracadabra or Fata Morgana — What Made the Ship Hover? Chincoteague Discusses Possible Measures Ahead of July 1 Marijuana Legalization By Carol Vaughn Chincoteague town council members at the April 15 meeting discussed im- plications for the town of the legalization of marijuana possession in Virgin- ia, which takes effect July 1. Other parts of the legislation, including retail sales, do not take effect until 2024. The legislation makes possession of up to an ounce of marijuana legal for people 21 and older starting July 1. Adults caught with more than an ounce but less than a pound face a $25 fine. On a recent trip across the bay, Shore native Ed Holland captured an image of a ship appearing to hover Vice Mayor Chris Bott said he re- above the water.

Addison Trower Custis, a member of a Facebook group with more than 5,000 members, “Growing Up on the East- ern Shore of Virginia,” is the grandson of the late Winston “Dynamite” Custis Sr., who opened the Custis Record Shop in downtown Exmore in 1955. Crudup (pronounced “crewed up”) was born in Mississippi in 1905, the son of migrant workers. He began singing in his early adult years and later moved to Chicago, where a record pro- ducer reportedly discovered him living and singing on the street.
