By Linda CicoiraNegotiations regarding water and sewage services

are expected to get underway between Accomack County and the Town of Onancock in January, officials disclosed Wednesday night.

Accomack supervisors voted to form a committee to handle the issue, which will include services for the new hospital in Onley and possibly surrounding areas. The board appointed County Administrator Steve Miner, Board Chairman Donald Hart and Supervisor Robert Crockett to meet with the town. Crockett, who lives near

the town treatment plant and represents the surround-ing district, said the town appointed its representatives Monday and requested a meeting.

Onancock Mayor Russell Jones, Councilman T. Lee Byrd and Town Manager G. Cabell Lawton IV will repre-sent Onancock at the talks. Crockett said with that many officials in attendance, the session will have to be public. A date has not yet been set for the meeting.

Earlier this month, the supervisors discussed building a wastewater treatment system at the Industrial Park in

A 21-year-old Exmore man was killed Tuesday afternoon in a traffic accident near Cape Charles, according to State Po-lice Sgt. Michelle Anaya.

Anthony Scott McHan was driving north on Lankford Highway, north of Route 644, at about 1 p.m. Tuesday when he lost control of the 2001 Toyota Tun-dra and ran off the road, causing the ve-hicle to overturn sev-eral times, Anaya said. McHan, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected and died at the scene. Alcohol was not a factor in the crash, Anaya added.

closed the final chapter on its history of appointed school boards at its ses-sion Wednesday.

On Jan. 1, members of the county’s first elected School Board will take the reins of the three county schools.

Superintendent Dr. Walter Clemons thanked the outgoing board members. Each received a plaque.

A fifth board seat became vacant earlier in the year with the death of member Calvin Brickhouse.

Clemons reported that the current student population stands at 1,558, with an additional 140 special-education and pre-K students. Fourteen new students entered the county’s schools over the past month while 38 left. Primary factors cited for the continued decline in student enrollment include limited opportuni-ties for employment in Northampton County, public perception of the quality of education there, and increasing avail-ability of faith-based and other private educational institutions in the area. It

is projected that this trend will continue for the next five years. By 2019, the en-rollment for K-12 students is expected to be fewer than 1,400, almost 1,000 less than 15 years ago.

Representatives of Edison Learning, the company hired to help turn around declining standardized test scores, re-ported that it is continuing to provide staff with help prior to the spring test-ing period. Edison Learning is complet-ing the final year of a three-year $2.4 million contract to assist the schools. The “Report Card” for the three schools still shows that they are struggling to meet the minimum state guidelines for passing the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests in math and English.

In addition, the high school contin-ues to have a problem reaching the graduation index needed for full ac-creditation.

It will be left to the incoming elected board to decide if an outside firm such as Edison Learning will be retained to help with the test scores.

Board Vice Chairman Mickey Mer-ritt questioned the Edison represen-tatives about students who are strug-gling to grasp skills at one grade level before they are challenged by the ma-terials at the next grade level.

In response, Merritt was advised that students who had not mastered the skills at one level would be given additional tutoring.

Board member Ann Terry suggested that they might consider shifting such students to another classroom where a teacher was having more success with teaching a given skill. “Some of our teachers need to learn new ways to teach some skills rather than presenting them the way them always have done.”

Director of Operations and Trans-portation Chris Truckner reported that an offer to donate a surplus boiler for the high school had been received from Bayshore Concrete. But upon examin-ing the boiler, Truckner found that it would not work at the building. Board Chairman Dr. Richard Drury noted that while the offer did not work out, it was commendable for a company to offer to help the schools. “It shows that there are members of the community that are interested in supporting the students

and schools in the county,” Drury said.A new program to improve student

nutrition has been initiated in the Coun-ty. “Smart Bites” encourages high-school students who visit fast-food establish-ments to make healthy selections when ordering their food. Subway and Machi-pongo Trading Company offer students healthy options. As a bonus, they receive a stamped card, which can be used in a school drawing for prizes.

Prior to concluding the session, the board reviewed changes that are com-ing to the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) for new employees. The plan calls for those hired after Jan. 1, 2014, to be offered “Hybrid VRS.” Under the short-term disability (STD) require-ments for Hybrid employees, it will no longer be necessary to accrue sick-leave balances to be used in the event of an illness or disability that exceeds five work days. This may require a cap on the total number of sick leave days

that a Hybrid employee can accrue. It also may require a stipulation that Hybrid employees will only be eligible to participate in the Sick Leave Bank for the first year of employment (when they are not covered for non-work re-lated disabilities).

School Finance Director Brook Thomas noted that she had attended a Hybrid VRS discussion forum and suggested that for now, the board should monitor the program and be prepared to make policy changes if needed. Thomas stressed the need for the school system to remain competi-tive with regards to employee ben-efits in order to attract and retain employees.

The next School Board session is slated for Jan. 15 at 6 p.m. at the School Administration Building. At that session, the newly elected Board will select a new chairman and vice chairman to lead the schools for 2014.

By Linda CicoiraA class-action lawsuit filed by three

former workers of First Med, Inc., a pri-vate ambulance service that employed about 35 workers on the Eastern Shore, is asking U.S. Bankruptcy Court to award wages and benefits to thousands who lost their jobs earlier this month after the company closed down.

Papers filed in the court claim the corporation violated the federal Warn Act and other state laws. The plain-tiffs want their “unpaid wages, salary, commissions, bonuses, accrued holiday pay, accrued vacation pay, pension and 401(k) contributions and other COBRA benefits.” They say they were terminat-ed without cause and without notice.

Local workers said they were prom-ised final paychecks late last week but did not receive them. Their last day of work was Dec. 6.

The corporation filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Eastern District North Carolina on Dec. 11 under the name American Ambulette & Ambulance Service, Inc. Documents state there are about 5,000

creditors and $10 million of debt. As-sets are valued between $1 million and $10 million.

Branden Engle and Justin Bage both worked for the company at its To-ledo, Ohio, branch and filed the lawsuit. Engle’s last day was Dec. 6. Bage was terminated on Nov. 20. John Rosen-baum worked from a Portsmouth, Va., office until Dec. 10 and also is listed as a plaintiff.

“First Med was an ambulance service provider that operated in six states, was the largest provider of EMS services in Ohio,” they wrote in the court docu-ments. “In shutting down, defendants terminated approximately 2,000 sim-ilarly-situated employees along with Plaintiffs, all without advance notice.”

Bloxom Volunteer Fire Company and Melfa Volunteer Fire & Rescue each gave Shore First Med workers food baskets last weekend to help them cope with unemployment. The two companies collaborated so they didn’t duplicate items. The baskets included ham, potatoes, canned vegetables, eggs, cheese and other staples.

Northampton’s Appointed School Board Conducts Its Last Session

By Linda CicoiraIn a money-saving move toward

better “efficiency,” the job of River-side Shore Me-morial Hospital Vice President of Development and Community Outreach Joe Za-ger was eliminated Tuesday, effective in mid-February.

R i v e r s i d e Health System Public Relations Direc-tor Peter Giagola blamed the action on the “negative bottom line” for 2013 and “rising costs,” including $7.3 million in charity care and $2.2 million for ob-stetrics and emergency care for 2012.

Zager’s position was the only one to be cut. Giagola said, “His role will be absorbed by” Hospital Administrator Susan McAndrews, with “organiza-tional support from Riverside Corpo-rate resources.”

“Joe was pivotal to bringing Shore Memorial Hospital, Shore LifeCare

and various private medical practices on the Eastern Shore into the River-side family,” Giagola continued. “We express our gratitude to his commit-ment to improving healthcare on Vir-ginia’s Eastern Shore.”

Remarking on the situation, Zager wrote in an email Wednesday, “I would just like to express my appreciation to the Eastern Shore community for the

opportunity I have had these past 10 years to serve as the hospital’s admin-istrator and most recently as develop-ment director. My wife and I have com-mented repeatedly over the years that this has been, by far, the best place we have lived to raise our family.”

From 2003 to 2009, Zager served as president and CEO of Shore Health Services, Inc. He was vice president

and administrator from 2009 to 2012 and has held his current post since January 2012. It entailed acquisition of land, design and construction of the new Onley hospital and serving as liai-son between Riverside Health System and the Shore’s medical community.

Before coming to the area, Zager worked in the healthcare field in South Carolina, Alabama and West Virginia.

By Linda CicoiraAn investigating officer described the crime as the most

“vicious attack” he has seen in 28 years of police work.Authorities are looking for information that would lead

to the arrest of a man who arrived on foot at the Walmart parking lot in Onley at around 9:15 p.m. Dec. 6 and beat a Labrador retriever with a baseball bat.

Onley Police Officer George Bennett said that after being alerted to the incident, he and State Police Trooper J.D. Kirk arrived at the scene to find two dogs in the back of a red pick-up truck. One dog was missing a patch of skin on his head and was cut on the snout; the other was not injured.

A witness told Bennett that she “saw what happened and confronted the man,” who then fled. The woman, who was not identified for her safety, then “ran into the store to get help.”

Bennett said video recordings made by cameras positioned outside the store show the crime being committed by a white man about six feet tall and weighing approximately 200 pounds. He has a grayish or white beard or goatee and short hair and is believed to be in his 40s. The video also shows the man fleeing in the area of Onley Road across Lankford Highway.

“He raised the bat to her,” but apparently thought twice about using it, the officer added. When the man approached the dogs, both of them wagged their tails as if they knew him, Bennett said.

Bennett found the owner of the dogs, Daniel Parks of Parksley, in the store and told him what happened. Bennett said since then, Parks reported that both dogs are fine.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Onley Town Office at 787-3985.

gathering featured Lt. Gov.-Elect Ralph Northam, the first person from the Eastern Shore to win statewide office in nearly two centuries.

Northam, a Democrat, spoke of the need for both political parties to put aside personal agendas and work to-gether to move Virginia forward. He praised outgoing Gov. Bob McDonnell for putting together a transportation package that funds improvements to the road system in Hampton Roads. Northam noted that the governor, a Re-publican, was able to bring the members of both political parties in the General Assembly to the table to compromise.

Northam predicted that the upcom-ing session of the General Assembly will focus on energy, Medicaid, and workforce development. “The leaders need to promote medical care for busi-ness employees,” said Northam, a pe-diatric neurologist. “There are 400,000 workers that don’t currently get medi-cal coverage, which can be corrected with Medicare. People without insur-ance coverage go to the ER for care and that hurts the economy if they aren’t covered.”

In closing, Northam spoke of the need to support education programs in the state, partly through improved workforce training. “Not everyone who graduates from high school will attend college,” he noted, suggesting that the school systems in the state need to rein-vent vocational and technical education programs.

A second part of the education puz-zle, according to Northam, is to aim for universal pre-K education. If children entered school at an earlier age, they would have a better opportunity to get on the right path toward success in school, he said.

Del. Lynwood Lewis, a candidate for the Senate seat being vacated by Northam, echoed the comments of the lieutenant governor-elect. Lewis said that reforming the state Standards of Learning (SOLs) needs to be a focus of the General Assembly. Admitting

that the SOLs probably are not going to go away, Lewis suggested that they be addressed in a different format that wouldn’t hamstring teachers.

Lewis mentioned the need to fund and provide mental-health coverage in the state. He cited the recent incident during which state Sen. Creigh Deeds was injured by a family member in need of mental-health care who was sent home from a hospital without receiving treatment.

Accomack Board of Supervisor Chair-man Donald Hart also addressed the gathering, citing the positive things oc-curring locally, especially the new sense of cooperation between the two Eastern Shore counties. Subsequently focusing on his own county, Hart said, “Accomack County had a prosperous year. It’s more pro-business than it has ever been.” He added that the expansion of the Wallops Space Port, the new hospital coming to Onley, and the natural gas supply line that will be coming south from Mary-land all will bring new business oppor-tunities.

Hart also spoke of the success of the new Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response system, known as SPRINT, that is allowing EMS per-sonnel to reach the side of a patient sooner.

The last speaker for the morning was Northampton Board of Supervi-sors Chairman Willie Randall. While Randall was not re-elected for the term beginning in January, he spoke of the success of the board in pushing forward improvements to the Zoning Ordinance that will make it easier for businesses to operate in the county.

Noting Northam’s push for statewide pre-K education, Randall noted that Northampton County is the only county in the state that offers the opportunity for all 4-year-olds to receive free pre-K education.

Other improvements, such as the broadband effort and new business growth in the Cape Charles area, are bringing new businesses and job op-portunities. “The county is on the right track to move forward,” Randall said.

New Lieutenant Governor Comes Home to Shore


Accomack District CourtA Gargatha man who was acquitted

in August in connection with the 2011 shooting death of a Guatemala native is back in jail on gun-related charges.

According to records filed in Accomack General District Court this week, Tyvon Lyncurtis Smith, also known as Teddy Smith, 20, of Diamond Springs Bou-levard, was charged with maliciously discharging a firearm in a building or dwelling occupied by one or more people in a manner that endangered them, in-tentionally discharging a firearm in a vehicle and transporting or possessing a firearm after having been convicted of a crime as a juvenile that “would have been a felony if committed by an adult.”

The offenses allegedly occurred on Nov. 18. Smith is being held in Accomack Jail without bond. A preliminary hear-ing was set for February. Investigator Pat Coulter of Accomack County Sher-iff ’s Office (ACSO) investigated.

In the previous case, Smith was charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm in a murder, attempted robbery, use of a firearm in an attempt-ed robbery and possession of a firearm by a felon. The victim, Belarmino Es-calante, 25, died after being shot in the heart while he and other chicken catchers waited at the former Godwin’s Plant World on Lankford Highway.

A mistrial was declared at the first trial because the jury was deadlocked.

At a second trial, the charges were ac-cessory after the fact of a murder, a mis-demeanor, and felony possession of a fire-arm by a felon. Judge Frederick B. Lowe said he could not convict Smith based on the testimony of a co-defendant.

Smith also was charged with assault and battery by a mob in connection with a Wattsville incident that occurred a few days after Escalante was killed. He was convicted of a misdemeanor mob crime and sentenced to a year in jail, with eight months suspended.

In another case filed in Accomack District Court, Clarence Handy Jr., 19, of Germaine Lane in Parksley was charged with stealing a Suzuki King Quad 600 ATV, valued at more than $200 and be-longing to Austin Taylor, on Sept. 15.

Handy is free on $7,500 unsecured bond. He was arrested Dec. 13. Deputy N.J. Bo-gan of ACSO investigated.

Troy Lamont Duffy, 41, of Daugherty Road in Accomac was charged Dec. 14 with driving a vehicle after being de-clared an habitual offender. The incident allegedly occurred on Lankford High-way in Keller. He is free on $5,000 bond. Trooper J.J. Renas investigated. A Feb-ruary preliminary hearing is scheduled.

Sheryl Hayman Smolinski, 64, of Jenkins Bridge Road in Temperance-ville was originally charged with as-sault and battery of Acomack Deputy Sam Castillia, a felony, occurring Nov. 10. She was convicted of the lesser charge of misdemeanor assault and battery and sentenced to six months in jail, with five months suspended.

Kyle Allen Wheeler, 51, of Chincote-ague will not be prosecuted for grand larceny, conspiracy to commit the crime and possession of stolen property with intent to sell. He had been indicted on those counts in June.

…………………………………Accomack Circuit Court

A local crack dealer was sentenced to 30 years in prison last week in Ac-comack Circuit Court.

Tyheem Equon Sample, 24, of Wood-land Park Drive pleaded guilty to a third or subsequent offense of posses-sion with intent to distribute on Aug. 28. Ten years of the term were sus-pended. Another charge of distribution of cocaine was not prosecuted.

Lena Marie Habel, 53, of Holland Road in New Church was give a three-year sus-pended sentenced each for assault and battery of Deputy E.J. Long of Accomack County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) on April 9, 2012, and abuse and neglect of a 9-year old child in August 2011. The terms were set to run concurrently.

Nathaniel Johnson, 27, of Lynhaven Circle in Painter was sentenced for eluding police on Oct. 24, 2012, to five years in prison, with three years and six months suspended.

Becky Long, 43, of Lindsey Drive in New Church was sentenced for credit-card fraud and credit-card larceny on Aug. 31, 2012, to three years in prison, with all but two years and five months suspended. She was ordered to pay res-titution of $802.50.

Austin Sebastian Parks, 19, of Seabreeze Drive on Chincoteague

pleaded guilty to three counts of grand larceny and a count of burglary. The incidents occurred on March 1, April 9 and July 7 and 8. Restitution was $210 for a TV and electric heater, $352 for 320 Chincoteague Police Department pins, $145 for repair of an ATM at Chin-coteague Volunteer Fire Department and $2,100 for a 2011 Yamaha outboard motor belonging to Donald Ross. A pre-sentence report was ordered. He was re-manded to jail to await sentencing.

Bond was denied for James Marti-nez Snead, 31, of Belle Haven, who was indicted earlier this month of second-degree murder in connection with the death of 2-year-old Jasheena Bull.

Snead was the boyfriend of the girl’s mother when the child died on April 30. At first he was first charged with felony abuse and endangerment by a parent or guardian and was released on $6,500. But when the indictment for murder handed down, he was arrested again and held without bond.

The girl’s mother, Victoria Mae Joynes, 37, of Belle Haven also was in-dicted on the abuse charge. She is free on $5,000 bond.

…………………………………Northampton Circuit Court

A former correctional officer was sen-tenced Monday in Northampton Circuit Court to five years in prison for soliciting sodomy from an adult family member.

Judge W. Revell Lewis suspended all but two years of the sentence for Asa Thomas Taylor, 64, of Franktown. He also gave Taylor 12 months in jail for sexual battery, with all but six months suspended, to run consecutively, giving him a total of 2.5 years to serve. The incidents occurred in July 2012.

“My conduct … was reprehensible,” Taylor told the court. “I accept full re-sponsibility. I am sorry for the pain that it has caused. … At the time I did not realize I had a drinking problem. … I ask for court for leniency. … I am sorry from the bottom of my heart.”

Lewis took a recess to read a 64-page victim impact statement included with the presentence report. He came back into the courtroom and said Taylor re-lentlessly pursued the victim, offering to pay her and to make her the ben-eficiary of his life-insurance policy. In addition, Lewis said Taylor regularly viewed pornography on his computer and the movies he owned.

“This is a very serious matter,” Lew-is said. “I don’t think you have a clue” how much the victim was hurt. “You so-licited her on more than one occasion.” This was not an “isolated incident.”

In another case, Uneka (Tinka) Unee James, 23, of Exmore pleaded guilty to providing a cell phone to a prisoner at Eastern Shore Regional Jail, a felony, and counts of delivering matches and cigarettes to the facility without per-mission, which are misdemeanors. Judgment was withheld on the felony charge. A presentence report was or-dered for the misdemeanors. James was released on existing bond.

…………………………………Northampton District CourtAccording to records filed in

Northampton General District Court, Bobby Lee Bundick, 57, of Painter was arrested Tuesday and charged with possession of a firearm by a felon and a third offense of driving under the in-fluence, occurring Monday. A January preliminary hearing was scheduled. Bundick also was charged with misde-meanor eluding.

Exmore Police Officer Jason Camp-bell investigated.

By Linda CicoiraSanta Claus, church, time with

family and friends, technology pres-ents and numerous decorated trees are among the things Accomack and Northampton residents plan to enjoy for Christmas this year.

According to a recent email survey conducted by the Eastern Shore Post, 94 percent of participants picked Mr. Claus over St. Nick. They also favored Ebenezer Scrooge over The Grinch in a narrower race, with 54.5 percent to 45.5 percent, respectively.

Participants said they would spend between $200 and $4,000 on presents this year, with the average just over $1,000. The gifts will be put under 2.58 trees per household. Seventy-seven percent said they would display a na-tivity scene.

Fifty-five percent plan to put an an-gel on the top of their tree. Thirty-five percent will use a star, 6 percent will apply a bow or ribbon and 1 percent will stick something else up there.

Tablets, computers, cell phones and

video games were the top gifts, to be given by 50 percent of participants. The next highest choice was good ole cold cash. Gift cards and jewelry followed.

“My favorite tradition is spending time with family and friends, drinking apple cider and eggnog and going to as many Christmas activities as possible,” wrote Georgette Press of Nassawadox.

She puts up three trees. One is ce-ramic. Another is “themed with green, red and gold” and the third is “ev-erything handmade by my kids and grandkids from school.” Many of her ornaments have been passed down through generations. “My oldest deco-ration is almost 100 … it’s a Christ-mas house and wooden trees. It came from my grandmother.” Press puts a gold star on one tree and an angel on the other. She also displays “a nativity scene that my father made in ceramic.”

“I’m not really sure how much I’ve spent because I buy all year ’round when I see the deals,” said Press. “I pick things up and save a lot of money this way.”

“Every year on Christmas Eve my

Dad reads ’Twas the Night Before Christmas to all of his children, and now his grandchildren and great-grandson,” wrote Ashley Mapp of Onan-cock. “To this day for those few minutes I feel like a child again with nothing but peace and happiness in the world.”

Mapp favors Scrooge. She will have two Christmas trees this year and is starting a new tradition of using orna-ments “hand-painted by my nieces and nephews. I buy new Christmas deco-rations every year and add to the old ones. You can never have too many dec-orations … I have a gold star” on one tree top “and my Nana’s hand-stitched angel on another.”

Natalie Rinker-Good of Cape Charles also has a favorite tradition, “attending the Nutcracker Ballet. I’ve lost true count over the years but think it’s over 40 different nationality/com-pany productions I’ve enjoyed. … I’m an army brat who lived overseas a long time where St. Nick was the norm. Nowadays it’s Santa who brings the surprise gifts. Either name, the magic and spirit of the season live on for me.

“I have a 127-year-old tree orna-ment that belonged to my great-great-Aunt Maria from Belgium,” said Rinker-Good “It’s St. Nick lifting up a candle of hope. Our family story says it was hers from when she was a young child. I don’t dare hang or display it these days. I unwrap it, reflect on its meaning, feeling sorrow, then re-wrap it (and) hope a new world and genera-tion will bring much needed peace to our lives.” Her aunt was “a nun in Bel-gium who was killed by Hitler’s regime because of her religious beliefs.”

Bonnie Wallace of Keller will be

thinking of her great-grandmother. “When she was living she would make Christmas cookies. It was hard to pick which one you wanted first.” She favors Santa Claus, The Grinch and an angel for her treetop.

“Opening one special present on Christmas Eve,” is Belle Haven resi-dent Brenda Ennis’ favorite Christmas tradition. She puts four trees up at her house with a variety of decorations. Her oldest ornaments are 40 years old. “My daughters and I made them.” En-nis usually buys one new ornament a year. “Money and iTune cards” are the requested items this year, she said.

Nancy Gonzalez of Machipongo likes going to church on Christmas Eve. She puts up five trees; the oldest orna-ments are 48, the ones she first pur-chased just after getting married. She said gift cards are requested this year. Gonzalez plans on spending $2,000.

Debra Bergner of Hacksneck looks forward to “opening new pajamas on Christmas Eve to wear to bed.” She picked Ebenezer Scrooge. “Not because I hate Christmas, I love the movies!!” she noted.

When answering the survey, Berg-ner already had put up three trees. Her oldest ornament is more than 30 years old and came from her mother-in-law.

Diana M. Davis of Craddockville looks forward to reading from Luke with the family on Christmas Eve. She puts up two trees, but this year is plan-ning on fewer decorations so her puppy “can’t hurt herself or the ornament!!” Her oldest ornament is 50. “It was mine. Mama and Daddy gave us each one with our name on them. Someone made it with glitter and glue on a sil-

ver ball.” Her nativity “goes up before anything else.”

Angela Mehsling of Accomac en-joys singing Christmas carols around the fire. She picked Santa, but “I can’t choose between the most villainous characters known to Christmas.”

“My oldest ornament is a half globe with reflective backing,” she reported. “In the middle of the globe is a golden colored figurine set of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. My sisters and I used to fight over who would get to put it on the tree and how best to display it. It is probably older then I am. My mother bought it.” She is definitely going to church during Christmas. “It really brings the idea home that Jesus is the reason for the season.”

Carrie Jacobson of Wachapreague looks forward to singing Christmas carols. She and her husband will put up “a Christmas palm tree and a pink flamingo. If it is still working.” Her old-est ornament is 35 and was made by “our daughter … in grade school.” Ja-cobson said a radio-controlled helicop-ter is requested at her house.

J.W. Jeffries of Chincoteague said his favorite Christmas tradition is a family dinner. The oldest ornament on one of his trees is 80 and came from his mother. Jeffries wrote that “elec-tronics” are the top gifts this year. He is spending $4,000.

Kristy Brittingham said going to her mother’s house “for dinner Christ-mas Eve” is her favorite thing. “All the grandchildren get their picture to-gether taken on Mom’s sofa. Each year we compare how much they’ve grown. Great-grandchildren are now being added! Then Church at 10 p.m.”

Her tree has a blue-and-white theme; the oldest ornament is about 30. It was her daughter’s first. She buys new ornaments “every couple years or if I see one that catches my eye.”

Martha Simpson of Parksley looks forward to “my children coming at 10 a.m. on Christmas for brunch and open-ing gifts.” She puts up four or five trees with themes. The oldest ornament is about 60 years old and was “my favorite … when I was a child.” She buys more every year. “I can’t help myself!”

“My three children and 10 grands have not given me any specific list” except my 3-year-old grandson” wants “Hungry Hungry Hippos.”

Michelle Taylor of Quinby is looking forward to “Christmas breakfast after watching the kids open Santa gifts.” Her oldest ornament is “from when I was a baby in 1973.” She plans on spending “too much” money for presents.

“Going around to see the Christmas light displays,” is Onancock resident Evan Clements’ favorite tradition. His oldest ornament dates back to the 1920s and came from his wife’s family.

“We have collected ornaments over our 40 years of marriage,” wrote Cle-ments, “some handmade, some bought, some given to us. We call them our spe-cial ornaments. We have 2 large boxes.” Sometimes they put a star on the top of their tree and other years a “teddy bear Santa” sits up there.

Nicole Landon of Painter said she enjoys going to a “church service on Christmas Eve, followed by Chinese take-out.” Her oldest ornament was purchased when she and her husband first married 16 years ago. She buys more every year.

Cheriton resident Kim Caison’s kitchen tree is “beachy.” Her game room tree is adorned with John Deere tractors; the main tree has a variety of ornaments and the “bathroom tree is small with miniature ornaments.” The oldest ornament is 40. “My grandmoth-er made it for me.”

Ive Chubb of Eastville likes family gettogethers. “But it’s not always pos-sible,” she said. Chubb also likes all Christmas movies and enjoys memo-ries through her ornaments, the oldest of which is 25 from the first Christ-mas she spent with her husband. How much will she spend on gifts this year? “We have five boys, four daughters-in-law, one girlfriend and four grand-children. I don’t want to think about

it!!!!!!!!!” she wrote. “Christmas is about Christ, He is

the reason for the season,” said Chubb. “My heart is saddened to know that so many do not celebrate the coming of our Lord. It isn’t about gifts, lights, music or the movies, though I enjoy all that Christmas brings with it. It’s about Christ coming to be apart of us. He shared time with us. He loved us and still does enough to die on a cross for the removal our sins. All he asks is that you believe in Him and love Him and others in return. Wow, that’s a bar-

gain, and He paid the price. You can’t get better than that. In short, yes I will make it a point to join a number of mu-sic cantatas and services and I will be at church on Christmas.”

Vic Peppler of Wachapreague said, “Everyone seems to want the Xbox One … but the best gifts are handmade and homemade.”

Linda Regula of Machipongo wrote, “I told my family if they didn’t tell me what they wanted (for Christmas) they were going to get an ‘Ugly Sweat-er.’ So, I got a lot of ideas.”

This is a call to all war-time veterans to join a new American Legion Post forming in Parksley. Forming a new American Le-gion post requires a minimum of 15 new members.

American Legion Posts support their local communities through men-toring youth and sponsorship of pro-grams such as Boys State, Boy Scouts, Legion Baseball, an oratorical con-test, a middle-school essay contest, and flags for first graders. The Ameri-

can Legion also advocates patriotism, promotes a strong national security agenda and provides a continuing de-votion to fellow service members and

veterans. The initial meeting for this new post

will be held Jan. 23, 2014, at 7 p.m. at the Town Scout Hut in the park.

Melfa that would handle 100,000 gal-lons per day and serve areas between there and the county seat.

The cost was estimated at $3.25 mil-lion. The plan included disposing of treated water below the tilling level on about 85 acres beside the fire-training center on Beacon Road. The supervisors voted to apply for permits from the Vir-ginia Department of Health.

Onancock charges $15.47 per 1,000 gallons of sewage. Engineers told the county board the new system could do the job for $8 per 1,000 gallons, an an-nual savings of about $272,000. Jones, Byrd and Lawton were in attendance at that meeting but did not speak.

County Attorney Mark Taylor re-ported a “renewal of dialogue” with the Garrett Companies about building a 60,000-square-foot office building at Wallops Research Park. Taylor said he “hopes to have exciting news early next year.”

The board also set a February public hearing for the county’s Comprehen-sive Plan review and update. Supervi-sor Ron Wolff asked County Planner Rich Morrison to include the impor-tance of public participation in plan-ning and zoning issues in the revision.

The supervisors also passed a reso-lution of support for a bill that will come before the General Assembly re-garding Eastern Shore license plate revenue. The plates cost an additional

$10, all of which goes to the Depart-ment of Motor Vehicles. The bill calls for the fee to be increased to $25 ,with $15 going to Eastern Shore of Virgin-ia Chamber of Commerce for educa-tion and to promote businesses on the Shore. Jean Hungiville of the chamber told the board the move would help the economy. “It should have been done in the late 1990s,” she added.

The supervisors also unanimously voted to ask the state if it could main-tain a private lane in the Pungoteague South subdivision as an unpaved road. Supervisor Reneta Major spearheaded the action. Members of the subdivi-sion’s association said the privately owned street gets a lot of public use and is in deplorable condition.

Another vote welcomed an applica-tion for a conditional-use permit that would allow a $10 million family apart-ment complex on 6.4 acres along Lank-ford Highway near Accomack Manor. The invitation will help the developer obtain a $700,000 community develop-ment block grant, officials said.

Kim Miles of the Onancock area urged the supervisors to consider making a pro-posed new library a top priority. He said the existing facility’s “resources are used by many people you don’t hear from. Visit the library and sit for awhile and watch the music,” he added. Residents have been pushing for a new $6 million building for months.

By Linda CicoiraVirginia Secretary of Transporta-

tion Sean Connaughton is recommend-ing that a total of $15.8 million be in-cluded in both the 2015 and 2016 state budget for establishing and operating a Virginia Commercial Space Flight Au-thority, of which Wallops Flight Facility would be a part.

A non-general fund of $11.8 mil-lion for each year includes making the authority “a stand alone agen-

cy within the Appropriation Act in or-der to provide additional transparency on the use of existing state funds,” ac-cording to the 2014-16 Biennium Ex-ecutive Budget.

Another $4 million is for “operation-al support for the Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority (and) provides additional resources to address project-ed costs and reduced launch fees. This funding will maintain the current opera-tion of the Authority,” the budget states.

Born in Cash-ville, she was the daughter of the late Jacob and Annie Young Campbell. Mrs. Hall-Groton was a hardworking wom-an who held vari-ous jobs while rais-ing her family. One of her more memorable jobs was trav-eling with her husband and the crew of Oral Roberts Ministries, where she worked as the treasurer while her husband drove a truck and helped the tent crew. She was a long-time mem-

ber of the Church of God, stood firm in her Christian beliefs and was always willing to help those in need. She will be remembered for her sassy sense of humor, her unwavering love for family and her homemade ice cream, peanut brittle, fudge and pies. She had fond memories of living on Deal Island, where she could enjoy the fresh air of the Chesapeake Bay, the solitude and special times with her brother, Vickers, and trips to White House Beach clam-ming with her sister, Odell.

Mrs. Hall-Groton is survived by her son, Charles T. Hall of Middletown, Del.; grandchildren, Joey Hall, Karen Hall Cote, Mickey Hall, Carol Ann Hall Fisher and Lorraine Hall; and many great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years, C. Clifford Hall; her second husband of 11 years, Dorsey Groton; two sons, Douglas Hall and Arthur Lee Hall; a daughter, Carol Ann Hall; two grandsons, Scott Vickers Hall and Alan Hall; and five brothers and five sisters.

mar. Interment was in St. Stephen’s Cemetery in Delmar.

Seaside

Bayside

fore she managed to get away from him and run into the woods near Eastville.

Judge Gordon Vincent found prob-able cause to certify to a Grand Jury charges of attempted first-degree mur-der, as well as abduction, use of a fire-arm and two felony-driving offenses against Stephen Ray Carpenter, 28, of Seaside Road in Capeville.

Eminhizer said she did not know the man.

“He beat her for no reason,” said Vincent justifying probable cause. “He took her down a deserted road.” It was certainly “an attempted murder,” he said of Carpenter’s attempt to break the woman’s neck. “Blows to the head also could be seen as attempted mur-der,” Vincent said.

The man got out of the car after it struck her, Eminhizer testified. “The next thing I knew I felt like I was being hit over the head. I was trying to block the blows. It was very painful. I believe he was hitting me with an object. … I was struck more than four times.”

Once he stopped the beating, she said, she yelled for help. He told her to “be quiet and get in” the car. “I was not about to fight anymore. … I got in the driver’s side and he pushed me over.” At this point, she was bleeding from the head and face. One arm and the opposite hand were swelling.

Later she learned her arm was broken in two places. Photos taken by Investiga-tor Michelle Hallette of Northampton County Sheriff’s Office were entered into evidence and showed cuts, an in-jured eye and stitches, all of which Em-inhizer said resulted from the beating or struggle and not from the car hitting her.

Once they were in the vehicle, Car-

penter drove north on Seaside Road, she said. She said she begged him to take her to the hospital and he said he would, but when she said she would call her mother to meet her there, he grabbed her cell phone and tossed it way.

Next, Eminhizer testified, Carpenter pulled over on the side of a road and grabbed both sides of her face in an at-tempt to break her neck. She said she moved with him so he was unable to twist and managed to break away, but was pushed between the windshield and the dashboard. The victim said she kicked at him and he tried to choke her. During the abduction, he twice kept her from getting out of the car by grabbing her hair and her collar, she said.

Eventually, she managed to get away. Eminhizer said she was running when she heard him say he would shoot her if she didn’t stop. She kept going in a zigzag fashion and went into the woods. Then, she said, she heard the car drive off. “I just kept moving.” She soon heard live-stock and went to a house to get help, but no one was home. Finally, vehicles came along the road and 9-1-1 was called.

Investigator Terry Thomas of NCSO said Carpenter admitted to him that he hit the woman with his car. Court records state, “Accused says it was an accident and that he was just trying to help her. He thinks she was taking it the wrong way and thought he was try-ing to hurt her more, but he was just trying to help her.”

The file also noted, “Carpenter ac-knowledged he struck the victim on Sunnyside Road near Oyster … while he was under the influence of cocaine, which he had abused about five min-utes earlier.”

~ Testimony ~ (Continued From Front Page)


An old hunting buddy of mine and fellow Yankee fan, Cur-tis Badger, recently loaned me

some copies of Sport Magazine from the late 1950s that were found by his wife, Lynn.

I spent some time reading those back issues this weekend. They were from a time I was a young boy who was just beginning to follow sports, already idol-izing Mickey Mantle and also taking an interest in football and basketball.

Here are some observations gleaned from reading stories published over 50 years ago.

It’s kind of refreshing to read these old magazines — no stories about PEDs, no football players with felony indictments, and top baseball players pulling down $40,000.

The story refers to journeymen base-ball players barely making more than $10,000 a year. The $27.5 million now being paid to Alex Rodriquez annually earns him $169,753 per game or over $18,000 an inning if he played every in-ning over a full season. Of course, he gets that amount for playing far fewer innings.

Costs have risen since then, but not by that much. A professional grade Spalding baseball glove, according to an ad in Sport, cost $27.50, with the Al Dark youth model going for $12.95.

Speaking of ads, many promote cig-arettes, showing athletic types enjoy-ing a Winston or Camel.

Others advertise firearms, where a reader can order a Marlin .22 rifle with a scope for $29.95.

One of the best basketball players, Bob Cousey, was up to $25,000 after starting out at $9,000 coming out of college as one of the top players in the nation.

The magazines show some football players still playing without a face

guard. But even those who used one tended to go with the single bar.

It’s often stated that today’s players are bigger and stronger. That is proven when the magazine calls a 242-pound lineman “massive” and a “giant.” Line-men in today’s game typically weigh well over 300 pounds.

A 6’, 1” quarterback was described as “tall.” Today, pro teams would shy away from someone that height for not being tall enough.

The articles were written by some of the best sportswriters in the nation at the time, including Roger Kahn, Furman Fisher, Dick Schaap and Howard Cosell.

They must have been paid by the word because the articles are extreme-ly long with pages of gray matter and few photographs. It seems the writers almost lived with their subjects for weeks to get the details for an article.

In a story, “What the Yankees Think of Mickey Mantle,” by Roger Kahn, au-thor of the famous baseball book The Boys of Summer, no words are spared describing Mantle’s sometimes imma-ture behavior. “A strikeout sends him into a sulking rage. He made a habit of kicking the water cooler in the dugout after strikeouts until one day Casey Stengel remarked gently, ‘That water cooler ain’t strikin’ you out, Son.’ ”

It was kind of sad that Mantle, the ballplayer almost every boy wanted to be, really seemed to derive no joy from playing baseball, despite his obvious physical gifts.

Golf was just becoming popular with the masses, spurred by the emergence of the charismatic Arnold Palmer.

A story on Sam Snead talks about an era when the leading money winner on tour might make $60,000 for the year. Snead, still the winningest golfer of all time, had $300,000 in career earnings in 1958 when he was 46. Today, Tiger makes three times that much by win-

ning one tournament.Snead, close friends with Ted Wil-

liams, told the Splendid Splinter his game wasn’t so tough. “Heck,” Snead said, “when we hit a foul, we got to play it.”

Boxing was much more in the na-tional spotlight in that era. Heavy-weight champ Floyd Patterson was featured in several issues.

When it came to women’s sports —

in that era before the term “politically correct” came into vogue — many of the articles tended to focus on their looks. For example, one article was en-titled “Pretty Girls Can Win,” showing female athletes in poses better suited for models.

All in all, about 100 pages each, the magazines revealed much about the time — and all for a quarter.

Hunters for HungrySeeking Donations

The Eastern Shore Chapter of Hunters for the Hungry greatly needs deer donations during this final month of deer-hunting season. With the re-cent restriction of doe harvest days by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, deer donations are down from the same period in the past. Now that the restriction has been removed for the remainder of the season, the chapter is asking hunters to donate deer to the program.

Story and photo by Bill SterlingNandua outlasted Northampton 92-

86 in overtime in the opening matchup of Shore District play last Thursday night.

The Warriors took a 21-16 lead af-ter the first quarter, but Northampton rallied and took a 24-23 lead early in the second quarter on a Zeb Carter 3-pointer. Nandua regained the lead quickly and never relinquished it, holding a 10-point lead in the third quarter before Northampton stormed back in the fourth quarter to tie it up at 78-78 with 20 seconds remaining.

With momentum and a home crowd making a lot of noise, Northampton took a brief lead in overtime before Nandua pulled away to a 14-6 margin in the extra period.

Nandua was led by Trayvon Snead with 32 points on 11-of-15 shooting. Tyreim Blake added 25, Issac Taylor scored 19 and Troy Planter had 11 points.

For Northampton, Carter scored 23, Raquan Anderson had 21, and Gregory Smith scored 17.

Foul shooting played a key factor in the game as Nandua was 31 of 61 from the line compared to 19 of 31 for Northampton. Four Jackets fouled out of the contest.

The 6-foot, 7-inch Taylor had a game-high 14 rebounds for Nandua. Tysean Stratton led the Jackets with 11 rebounds. Carter had a game-high five assists for Northampton.

For the Jackets, it was their open-ing game of the season, and Northamp-ton coach Wayne Bell saw things that pleased him. “I was happy with the way we played. Our young players stepped up in their first varsity action. We missed some free throws that hurt us. But, overall, we played well.”

Nandua coach Cedric Cooper was relieved to get away with the win on the Jacket home court. “They always play with a lot of emotion in front of their home crowd. I told the players we needed to take the fans out of the game, but they got on a roll in the fi-nal quarter and came back. We did well to steady ourselves and get the win.”

Nandua Tops LancasterNandua easily downed Northern

Neck foe Lancaster 68-49 Saturday af-ternoon at Onley.

Trayvon Snead led the Warriors with 16 points,Tyreim Blake scored 12 and Issac Taylor added 11 points. Anthony Smith scored 7, and Mahagee Wise tallied 6 on 3-of-3 shooting.

Nandua held a 23-13 lead in the second quarter when Blake swished a 3-pointer and Snead converted a 3-point play after being fouled to open a 16-point lead. Lancaster never threatened from that point.

Taylor led Nandua with 10 re-bounds. Blake had a team-high four assists.

Ponies Get First WinChincoteague got its first win of the

season with a 59-52 win over Holly Grove Friday.

Larry Harper led the Ponies with 21 points, eight rebounds and added two blocks and two steals.

Mason Marshall added 11 points, including two three-pointers, and Cory Reifler had a team-high 11 rebounds. Seth Owens gave the Ponies a spark by scoring all eight of his points in the second quarter.

“Defense and controlling the boards won the game for us tonight,” said Chincoteague coach Will Thompson. We took care of the ball tonight and made decent decisions by only turning the ball over 10 times.”

Arcadia Tops ChincoArcadia blew open a four-point

game at halftime with Chincoteague for a 74-38 win at the Pony gym last Thursday.

After a slow start, the Firebirds used a 27-7 advantage in the third quarter to register the win. Five Firebirds were in double figures, led by Taylor Major with 20, John Wright with 14, Travon Copes and Teon Giddens with 13 each, and Tyler Major with 10.

For Chincoteague, Larry Harper had 16 points and eight rebounds. Cory Reifler added 12 points. Pony coach Will Thompson said turnovers hurt his team, with 14 in the first half and 15 in the second half.

Arcadia Edges Nandua 68-67 Wednesday night Arcadia stormed

back from a 10-point deficit in the fi-nal quarter to defeat Nandua 68-67 as Taylor Major led the Firebirds with 25 points. John Wright had 13.

Nandua, who had a shot at the buzz-er to win, was led by Trayvon Snead with 19 points.

The win gives the Firebirds the ear-ly lead in the Shore District standings with a 2-0 record.

Firebird coach Alvin Justice said his team battled back and played well down the stretch.

Vikings’ Fast Start Leads to 72-42 Win Over JacketsStory and photos by Bill Sterling

Broadwater jumped to an 11-0 lead and stretched it to 22-3 after the first quarter en route to a surprisingly easy 72-42 win over Northampton Monday at the Viking gym.

Wesley Shrieves scored 7 points in the opening stanza and was joined by teammates Michael Riopel and Sea-mus Cooney with 5 each and Bren-don Burrows adding 4. Meanwhile, Northampton misfired on all but one shot after opening the season with 86 against Nandua and 75 against Alli-ance Christian.

“With good defense comes offense,” said Viking coach Eddie Spencer. “We played our best ball of the season in the first half. We got away from what we were doing in the second half, but I was pleased with the overall effort we gave tonight.”

Northampton coach Wayne Bell said, “We shot ourselves out of the game in the first half. They got on a roll, we didn’t answer. It was one of those nights.”

Broadwater handled a Jacket press-ing defense with precision passing that led to numerous easy baskets as Matt McCaskill scored 12 of his 16 points in the second quarter to push the Vikings

to a 44-17 halftime lead. In addition to driving to the basket, McCaskill hit two of the five Viking treys in the first half.

Riopel also had 16 points for Broad-water. Shrieves and Cooney had 11 each, and Burrows, honored before the game for recently scoring his 1000th career point, tallied 10 as five Vikings reached double figures.

For Northampton, Zeb Carter and Gregory Smith had 13 points each.

BA Falls by One Pointto Williamsburg

Broadwater got off to a slow start, trailing 18-7 in the first quarter be-fore rallying, only to lose 68-67 last Thursday to Williamsburg Christian Academy, always one of the top hoop programs in the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association.

The score was knotted at 61 enter-ing the final quarter.

Wesley Shrieves and Michael Rio-pel led the Vikings with 18 points each. Matt McCaskill had 14 points, and Brendon Burrows contributed 12 points. Both Riopel and Shrieves had 11 rebounds, and Burrows had a team-high six assists.

The Lady Vikings trailed 13-10 af-ter the first quarter and held only a 3-point lead at halftime, 24-21, but went on a 21-10 tear in the third quar-ter and expanded the lead with a 17-6 margin in the fourth. Jenna Hare was

also in double figures with 10 points and also had a team-high 12 rebounds.

The Broadwater girls were no match last Thursday for powerhouse Wil-liamsburg Christian, defending state VISSA champion, losing 90-21. Hare led the Lady Vikings with 8 points while Katie Wendell scored 5.

Nandua Girls Take Early District Lead with 61-52 Win Over JacketsStory and photo by Bill Sterling

The Nandua girls’ basketball team established itself as the early favorite in the Eastern Shore District race with a 61-52 win over Northampton last Thursday night at Onley.

Derrica Toppin had 23 points to lead the Lady Warriors, who used a 16-7 advantage in the second quarter to take a 29-20 halftime lead. Khadijha Robinson scored 11 of her 16 points in the first half to help stake the Warrior lead. Carrington Hinton-France added 8 points.

Northampton was led by Whitney Metz with 16 points and Briana Wil-liams with 15 points. Jateria Harmon had 7 points.

Northampton pulled to within 3 points at 38-35 after three quarters, but a 21-point onslaught in the final quarter by Nandua, with Toppin and Robinson scoring 5 points each, fueled the win.

“I am proud the way the girls played hard and played together throughout the game,” said Nandua coach Kim Giddens.

Nandua Falls in OTThe Nandua girls lost a tough 65-63

overtime decision to Lancaster Satur-day afternoon at home.

After trailing 52-49 with 2:50 re-maining, the Lady Warriors took the lead with a pair of free throws and a 3-pointer by freshman Kyteria Smaw, who had a game-high 25 points, only to see Lancaster force overtime with a basket in the final seconds.

Lancaster’s Zykeia Bullock scored 6 points in overtime to lead the Red Dev-ils to the win.

Nandua’s Robinson added 16 points to Smaw’s stellar effort. Jakoriah Wise scored 6.

Firebirds Win ThrillerThe Arcadia girls edged Chincoteague

33-32 in a nailbiter that went down to the last few seconds last Thursday.

The Lady Firebirds got their first win of the season, with Sarah Jones, Jasmin Holden and Damequa Lankford getting 6 points each and Tazmonique and Ja’Quagia Tull scoring 5 each. Nor-

maya Harris grabbed 15 rebounds.“We are a young team with two re-

turning starters, and it was good to get our first win,” said Arcadia coach Clau-dia Collins.

Chincoteague was led by Chelsea Pitts with 14 points, followed by Taylor Filipic with 11.

The two teams traded baskets from the outset. With under 10 seconds re-maining, Chincoteague’s Kristen Fox stole the ball and drove in for a layup, drawing a foul to pull the Lady Ponies within one point. The foul shot to tie the game rimmed out.

Despite the loss, Chincoteague coach Kelly Fox was pleased. “I am so super proud of those girls,” Fox said. “I really couldn’t ask for a better team of girls. They worked extremely hard. Every single one of them gave 100 percent of themselves both physically and heart.”

Wednesday night the Nandua girls stomped Arcadia 62-17 at Oak Hall as Kyteia Smaw scored 14 points and Khadijha Robinson and La’Kendra Riggins added 9 each. The Nandua JV won 38-4

Nandua’s Kyteria Smaw scored 25 points in a loss to Lancaster.

Arcadia Takes Second, Northampton Third in Parkside Wrestling TourneyArcadia took second place and

Northampton third among 10 teams at the Parkside Christmas Wrestling Tournament in Salisbury last weekend.

Arcadia placed six wrestlers, with Hunter Tatum first at 195, and Zach Sepelak first at 220, Tah’re Pettit sec-ond at 106, Samuel Crippen third at 132, Geo Hernandez third at 138, and Cody Bloxom third at 145. Among the Firebird JV wrestlers, Breonte Shrie-ves and Deon Holden took first, Kain Turner, Jordi Velasquez and Damien Kirkpatrick took second, and Marcus Robinson took third.

Arcadia coach Charles Godfrey said, “The boys wrestled hard. I was very proud of everyone. We have a lot of new kids who are mixing things up, and our veteran wrestlers are really taking the lead. We have a high tempo in the room and I think it is showing.”

Northampton placers were first place, Charlie DeMarino Jr. 9-0 and Alan Kil-lebrew 9-0; second place, Steven Wilson 8-1, and Ediel Carranza 8-1; third place, Taylor Shrieves 7-2, Aden Ingram 7-2,

Hakeem Berry 7-2, and Solomon Owens, 7-2; and fourth place, Hunter Elliott 6-3 and DeVante Hairston 6-3.

Northampton’s JV wrestlers fared well. Nick Collins, Billy Martinez-Del-gado, John Curry, DJ Upshur, and Chris Montalvo placed first. José Ibarra and Brandon Brittingham placed second.

“The team is starting to take shape,” said Northampton coach Will Leland. “The boys didn’t just wrestle well. I had many compliments from multiple people talking about how well they handled themselves sportmanship wise. Some-times as a coach, I’d rather have those compliments than any other accolades.”

Nandua placed eighth in the tour-ney with only eight wrestlers compet-ing. Four Warriors placed, including Thomas Reid (152) taking second, go-ing 8-1; Tyrek Collins (126) and Mat-thew Tyler (220) both placing third, going 7-2, while Jack Schrieber (113) took fourth, going 6-3.

Placing second in the JV portion of the tournament for Nandua with a 2-1 record were Drake Greer (106), Casey

Smith (120), and Shaun Solis (145).“This is the most wrestlers Nandua

has put on the podium at this tourna-ment in six years, so it was a great in-dividual effort by our guys,” said Nan-dua coach Nathan Metzger.

Last week, Nandua defeated Northumberland 45-36 and lost to Mathews 48-28 in a tri-match.

Thomas Reid (152) defeated a two-time state wrestler from Northumberland to

place first. Also winning in the Northum-berland match were Jack Schrieber (113), Tyrek Collins (126), Tim Oliveri (138), Stefan Abogabir (160), Matthew Tyler (220), and Michael Singleton (285).

Against Mathews, Reid won by deci-sion, and Jake Smith (285) won by pin.

“Northumberland and Mathews are traditionally strong squads and I was happy with how things turned out,” said Metzger.

Six Viking Gridders Make First-Team VISAARobert Fritz

OL, LinebackerWesley Shrieves

D. Back, Kick ReturnerMichael RiopelWide Receiver

Brendon BurrowsDefensive Line

Adam BowenRunning Back

Preston RichardsonTight End

Six players from Broadwater were selected to the first team All Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Associa-tion for Division 4.

Robert Fritz was named to both the offensive and defensive squads as an offensive lineman and a linebacker.

Wesley Shrieves also manned two positions as a defensive back and punt returner.

Also on the first team offense are Mi-chael Riopel as a wide receiver, Adam Bowen as running back and Preston Richardson as a tight end.

Brendon Burrows was named first team as a defensive lineman. Burrows also made the second team as a run-ning back.

Ben Holland was chosen to the sec-ond team as a quarterback.

Shrieves was named to the second team as a wide receiver.

Riopel was named honorable men-tion as a defensive back.

All seven Broadwater players re-ceiving VISAA honors are seniors. The Vikings reached the state semi-finals this year with an 8-2 record. Last year the Vikings advanced to the state championship game with a 10-2 record.

Coach Noble Palmer pointed out that in a nine-game regular season schedule, his starters only played a half or less in four games because the Vikings regis-tered blowouts with early leads.

Robert FritzFritz was “like a coach on the field,”

according to Palmer. “He is very intel-ligent and when a defensive call was made, he knew what every player on the defense should be doing.” Fritz was the leading tackler on the team the past two years, this year making 64 tackles, causing four fumbles and mak-ing seven sacks. On offense, Fritz has started at left guard for three seasons and was called by Palmer “the team’s best offensive lineman.”

Wesley ShrievesShrieves repeated as an All-State

kick returner, this year averaging 32 yards on nine kickoff returns and 24 yards on six punt returns, scoring a touchdown on a kickoff and two on punt returns. A versatile player, Shrieves ran for 470 yards on 33 carries and eight touchdowns, but also had 14 re-ceptions for 502 yards, averaging an astounding 36 yards per catch with six touchdowns receiving. “Wesley could score from anywhere on the field in a variety of ways,” said Palmer. “He’s a real game-breaker.”

Michael RiopelRiopel was also a first-team VISAA

wide receiver last season. This season he grabbed 28 passes for 537 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 19 yards a catch. “Michael was a disciplined receiver who ran precise routes. Our quarterback knew Michael would be at

a certain spot when he threw the ball.” Palmer said Riopel was also a key de-fensive back whose absence in the state semi-final game after a first-quarter in-jury hurt the Vikings significantly.

Brendon BurrowsBurrows, at 6’,2” and 235 pounds,

provided the Vikings a physical play-er who also possessed great skills. Named to the first team as a defen-sive lineman, Burrows had 42 tackles, four fumble recoveries and nine sacks. He also blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown and returned an interception for a touchdown. “Bren-don is a versatile, complete player,” said Palmer. “Offense, defense, special teams, he did it all.” Burrows, named to the second team as a running back, had 61 carries for 537 yards and nine touchdowns. He also caught 11 passes for 141 yards and kicked extra points.

Adam BowenBowen was a repeat selection as

a first-team All-State running back. The speedy back had 64 rushes for 780 yards and seven touchdowns, av-eraging 11.9 yards a carry. “Adam has tremendous vision on the field and the ability to cut back. He also had the ability to square up when he hit the hole,” said Palmer, who noted that Bowen missed one game with an in-jury, and like his teammates, played limited minutes in several games, or his stats would have been even better.

Preston RichardsonRichardson, named as a first-team

tight end for the second straight year by VISAA coaches, was used by the Vikings in a variety of ways. Often, he was an H-back, both running the ball and blocking for other backs. Receiv-ing, he had 15 catches for 135 yards and three touchdowns. As a runner, he gained 160 yards and scored six touchdowns. Richardson, one of the top shot putters and discus throwers in the state, also showed his strength on the defensive line. “Preston was very important to our team, and we used him in lots of different situations,” said Palmer.

Ben HollandHolland was a second-team selection

as a quarterback, throwing for 1,239 yards and completing 67 of 112 passes for 15 touchdowns. His completions averaged 18.5 yards. “Ben had a tremendous feel for the offense. I trusted him, and if I didn’t have a play ready, he called one that was right for the situation. He put a lot of time in af-ter practice,” said Palmer. Ben Holland

First Med Appreciates Support from Local Stations 6 & 10

Dear Editor:On behalf of the former employees of First Med

EMS, who found themselves suddenly and unexpect-edly unemployed after the company went bankrupt on Dec. 7, we wish to pass along our most sincere thanks and gratitude to the members of Bloxom (Station 6) and Melfa (Station 10) volunteer fire departments, and local communities for collecting and distributing food baskets and gift cards to us on Dec. 15.

Those items will come in very handy in our time of need. Many thanks to all who donated goods and time to help one of their own.

Swine & Wine Raises Record Funds for Boys and Girls Club

Dear Editor:The final numbers are in. The 2013 Swine and Wine fund-raiser for the Boys

and Girls Club, Eastern Shore Unit, was the most successful ever, raising over $20,000 for the local chapter.

Held at Central Green in Painter, this year’s event was attended by a record number 180 people who en-joyed a great meal and the music of Mr. B. and the Boys. In addition, a short program featuring Lucero Diaz, the 2012 Youth of the Year for South Hampton Roads, told the story of the local chapter.

The Eastern Shore Unit of Boys and Girls Club serves more than 200 youth annually. Our members receive a hot meal, academic tutoring, and lessons in life skills each weekday at an after-school pro-gram at Occohannock Elementary School. During the summer, our members attend a full-day program that opens its doors at 6:30 a.m. and closes at 5 p.m.

Our mission focus is to enable all club members to achieve academic success, good character and citi-zenship, and healthy lifestyles. The club boasts some amazing success stories of members being the first in their family to attend college, or even to gradu-ate from high school. Members of the Eastern Shore Unit have won four of the past seven Youth of the Year awards for all Boys and Girls Clubs of South-east Virginia (a total of 11 clubs in 7 different cities).

The Board of Directors of the Eastern Shore Unit wants to thank the many sponsors, auction donors, and local businesses who made Swine and Wine pos-sible. There were far too many to name here, but be assured your contributions are making a difference in the lives of those children who need us most.

If you would like to make a year-end gift to the Eastern Shore Unit of Boys and Girls Club (a 501(c)(3) entity), please send a check payable to BGCSEVA to P.O. Box 845, Exmore VA 23350, or go to bgcseva.org and click on the donate square at the top of the screen. And THANK YOU!

Witness of Cat Abandonment Has Seen to Its Welfare

Dear Editor:The cat thrown from the pick-up truck is doing

well. As the pick-up truck sped away that day, the beautiful kitty ran into the woods behind a private home nearby. It soon showed up near our parked car and we were happy to see it and, of course, fed it!

The cat hopped into our car trunk a few days later and a friend of ours, who lives in the area, picked the cat up and took it to where she works, which just happened to be a veterinarian’s office!! The cat is a neutered male with a wonderful, friendly “person-ality” and is in a warm, comfortable Animal Clinic awaiting its new home, as of this writing.

No one should assume the witnesses did nothing! M. Hillman, The witness

Exmore Commends Post’s Coverage of Its Growth

Dear Editor:On behalf of the Greater Exmore Business and

Community Association (GEBCA), we would like to extend a hearty thanks to Ron West and the Eastern Shore Post for the expert and accurate coverage you provide on the issues that are important to all of us who live on the Shore. In particular, hats off to Ron for his recent coverage on the steady and exciting resurgence of Exmore’s business and administrative climate.

Mr. West has been diligent in his reporting on Ex-more. Whether there is just a handful of people at town meetings or a packed house, Ron is there, of-fering unbiased and comprehensive reporting on the important issues that come before the town.

As reported by Ron in the Dec. 6, 2013, Eastern Shore Post (‘Exmore Coffers in Good Shape’), Ex-more is enjoying a comeback that we could not even imagine several years ago. Under the navigation of a new mayor (Doug Greer), a new town manager (Shoreborn and bred Robert Duer), bright new faces on Town Council, as well as a dedicated and com-

mitted town staff, Exmore’s economic and business future is looking better than it has for decades.

Making the hard and tough decisions has result-ed in a municipal bank account nearing $800,000. Plus, we have an exemplary police department, a hard-working public utility crew, and a new helms-man over the sewer and water infrastructure (Taylor Dukes). Combining this with affordable rents and at-tractive available storefronts in the downtown busi-ness district, Exmore is enjoying a perfect storm, causing many entrepreneurs to take a second look at this town, which lies at the very center of Virginia’s Eastern Shore.

The town is absolutely abuzz with new energy and we are hearing from even the casual visitor that the town has a whole new feel, vibrant and inviting. So if you are considering throwing your hat into the entrepreneurial ring, we encourage you to visit this wonderful little town … it just might change your life like it did ours when we invested in this town years ago.

Ken Dufty and Elvin Hess, on behalf of GEBCA

Local Response to Jimmy Rowley’s Death Impresses His Family

Dear Editor:My grandfather told me, “Firefighters and EMS

look out for one another.” When I experienced that love firsthand upon the death of my relative, Jimmy Rowley, it made me not only more proud of Jimmy, but also deeply aware of the love and respect people have for each other on the Shore.

I have attempted to find the words of apprecia-tion for everyone involved, but words simply are not ample. The family deeply gives thanks to everyone involved in laying him to rest.

Brian Crockett, Richmond, Va.
