ALMOST  AN EAGLE: Kevin Jackmore, from Boy Scout Troop 

367, was recognized last night for the work he did in Hickory Park 

and at the Township Recreation Center for his Eagle Scout project.

He is expected to be officially awarded the rank shortly.

What do you get when the New Hanover Township Zoning Board makes a decision?

Appeals, potentially lots of them.

With the clock ticking on the deadline to appeal the decision earlier this month to allow the expansion of the Gibraltar Rock Quarry, the supervisors had a decision to make.

And the decision they made, unanimously, was to appeal the decision by the zoning board.

Robert Brant, the township's special counsel on all things quarry, also said that Gibraltar Rock may appeal because of the conditions that the zoning board attached to its approval.

And finally, the friendly folks over at Ban the Quarry, as parties to the whole matter, also have an opportunity to appeal the decision.

In other word, more lawyers.

In the meantime, here are the Tweets from the meeting.
