By Ron WestFollowing an extended discus-

sion and much public input, theNorthampton County Board of Su-pervisors accepted the EconomicDevelopment Plan Tuesday as partof the Comprehensive Plan.

At their March meeting, the su-pervisors had tabled the economicportion of the Comprehensive Planpending an economic analysis ofchanges to land uses in the countyas a result of the proposed zoningordinance amendments. On Tues-day, Tom Flynn, president ofThomas Point Associates, Inc.,painted a picture of increasing tax-es for residential property ownersif the number of commercial busi-nesses stagnates or decreases. “Asa taxpayer, I would be concernedby the increase in the percentageof the residential tax base versus

that of commercial,” said Flynn.He cited the lack of infrastructure,including a public water andwastewater system, as a deterrentto job opportunities. Referring to acomment about the county havingample property zoned commercial,Flynn stated, “It’s one thing tohave enough commercial space but

another to have it in the right loca-tion. It’s not the quantity of land,it’s the location of it.”

Dave Kabler and Ken Dufty bothexpressed concerns with the find-ings of the economic study, notingthat it failed to address the effectsof growth on the environment andthe Shore’s supply of fresh water.

Supervisor Richard Tankardquestioned the findings and sug-gested that the percentage of rev-enue from taxes on residentialproperty is a reflection of increasedproperty values rather than a de-cline in commercial values.

By Linda CicoiraThe board giveth and the board

taketh away.Last week, Accomack supervisors

informally agreed to cut $720,000from county schools in their proposedfiscal 2009-10 budget. They called forSuperintendent W. Richard Bull tocome before them to justify spending.Then after they got the School Boardand other division officials in a frenzy,they put $450,000 of it back. That ac-tion was done by consensus Tuesday.

When proposed tax-rate increaseswere discussed Wednesday by theBoard of Supervisors, Chairman SteveMallette said, “It is very difficult to getit below 6 cents (per $100 valuation onreal estate) unless we’re willing to goback and take it from schools.”

So everything is up in the air untilthe supervisors meet at 5 p.m. Mon-day for their final budget delibera-tions. They asked Finance DirectorMike Mason to be ready then to showhow additional 1 percent, 2 percentand 3 percent across-the-board cutsto all departments would reduce an-ticipated tax increases.

Supervisor Phil McCaleb said thecounty should have increased thereal-estate rate by 3 cents last year,as he suggested. Now he said at leasta 7- or 8-cent hike would be neededto build on. “The reserves wouldn’tstand a minor hurricane or a week’sinterruption of the bridge-tunnel.”

Local funding for schools amount-ed to about $15 million this year. Ap-proximately 5,000 students attendAccomack public schools.

The poll Tuesday showed 5-4 in fa-vor of restoring the money for educa-tion. Supervisors Mallette, McCaleb,Grayson Chesser, and Sandy HartMears wanted to cut the entireamount. Vice Chairwoman LauraBelle Gordy and Supervisors DonaldHart, Wanda Thornton, Jack Gray andRon Wolff were successful in returningpart of the funds to the schools.

“It all comes back to the teachers,”said Gray, a retired teacher andschool administrator.

School Board Chairman Al McMathtold the supervisors his panel took “ex-ception that you would summarily callMr. Bull and expect to derive informa-tion that has yet to be discussed. Oneof the School Board’s major commit-ments is to secure the funding neces-sary to meet the children’s needs. Weare at the point where board talks to

board and, respectfully, we would ap-preciate that courtesy.”

Mallette said the supervisors didnot mean to “slight” the School Board.Bull was asked to speak because heusually represents the school division.“The School Board is always invited tocome to the meetings,” said Mallette.

“We feel that we are good stewardsof the county’s monies,” McMath toldthe supervisors. “We all know thefirst thing that new residents willask is ‘What are the schools like?’The answer has a direct impact onthe county,” said McMath.

“Economic development will onlyincrease in the future if our schoolsimprove,” said Bull. “It took eightyears for us to get full accreditation.”

Both school officials agreed thatthe number of jobs affected by cuts isunclear at this point.

In between supervisors’ meetings,the School Board met for its own ses-sion and concluded that county super-visors don’t understand the impor-tance of education or just don’t careabout the future of local children.

For about 15 minutes, the school of-ficials listened to the audio of a super-visors’ session from last week. Theyconcluded that the cuts would meaneliminating jobs, which in turn wouldequal a larger workload and an in-crease in student-teacher ratios. Thelatter could mean a loss in state rev-enue due to ratio restrictions forkindergarten through third grade.

“I am so saddened and embarras-sed that our governing body thinks solittle of our youth,” said School Boardmember Patricia White. “Clearly,there is a lack of belief in the children… our teachers work tirelessly aswell as our administrators.”

“It’s about the children,” said Hold-en. “It’s not a joke. I listened to thelaughter,” he said of the supervisors.

Particularly alarming to theSchool Board were the comments ofSupervisor Phil McCaleb, who fa-vored cutting funds in hopes thatmore students would be sent to“Broadwater and these other Christ-ian schools” so the county wouldn’thave to pay to educate them. Mc-Caleb said 10 percent or more ofcounty children are not schooled atthe county’s expense. “What can wedo to help that along?” he asked.

“Here’s a smart dude,” SchoolBoard member Parker Johnson saidof McCaleb.

Onancock is the coolest town inthe South — and sixth in the na-tion, according to Budget TravelMagazine and the more than 5,000votes the town garnered on thepublication’s Web site.

It’s been that way for nearly 400years.

Chartered in 1680, the townboasts an 1800 federal style housemuseum, an array of restaurantsfrom gourmet to an Irish pub, a livetheater, a vintage movie houseshowing international films month-ly, art galleries, boutiques and bedabd breakfasts. Even the earlycolonists would come just outside ofOnancock to see the first play per-formed in North America, “Ye Bear& Ye Cubbe.”

With all that history, Onancockisn’t just focused on the past. It wasthe first town in Virginia to haveall-green certified lodging, and pet-friendly lodging and businesses.And where else can you find theHouse of Deals, an old-fashionedhardware store where you can buyeverything from nails to fresh sea-

side clams to coffee machines, andyes, the boys still play cards in theback.

Onancock Creek weaves aroundthe town, connecting it to theChesapeake Bay. Boating, especial-ly kayaking, can lead one to secretmarshes where sea and sky pro-vide a private haven.

“Heaven and earth never agreedbetter to frame a place for man’shabitation,” said Capt. John Smith,founder of the hamlet.

The magazine was looking forMain Street, U.S.A. — places whereyou find real people. But also organ-izers of the contest were in search ofplaces with an “edge” and with apopulation of fewer than 10,000.

US 13 South, Pocomoke City, MD

By Linda CicoiraAbout $62,000 in county tax dol-

lars will pay 75 percent of the costof health insurance for Accomacksupervisors and their family mem-bers in the upcoming fiscal year.

That means the supervisors willno longer receive fully paid coveragefor themselves and their familiesand will be responsible for payingabout $21,000 which will be takenout of their twice-monthly checks.

Not all the supervisors had fa-vored paid family coverage.

“Don’t you all feel guilty?” ViceChairwoman Laura Belle Gordyasked Chairman Steve Mallette. “Idon’t think there is a person on theboard who cannot afford to pay in-surance for their family. I justthink it’s terrible.”

“I don’t feel guilty,” said Mal-lette. He contended that when hesought the office, the benefit wasavailable. “It was there for 19years,” he said, adding that withall the work involved in the job,“It’s money well spent.”

“You knew you were going to

have to spend time,” Gordy replied.Supervisor Phil McCaleb agreed

with Mallette that a contract shouldnot be changed “mid-stream. I thinkit is unfair to do that.”

Supervisors Wanda Thorntonand Donald Hart were adamant intheir opposition to paying for family.

In the end, the consensus wasunanimous that the county wouldpay 75 percent of the premiums.That came at Thornton’s urging. “Ifwe don’t do this, the board is goingto end up paying zero,” she said.“It’s a fall-back position. We can’tget five votes to do away with it.”

“I still think the board shouldonly get the same thing as the em-ployees,” said Thornton. In a poll,the supervisors decided that thecounty would continue to pick upthe tab for 100 percent of a singlesubscriber cost for employees. Thecounty does not pay for health in-surance for the family of employees.

No one addressed County Attor-ney Mark Taylor’s contract, whichincludes fully paid coverage forhim and his family for $15,555.

County Administrator SteveMiner, who also has been receivingfull coverage for himself and hiswife, will join the ranks of othercounty employees with respect tohealth insurance.

Referring to the fully paid insur-ance which the supervisors had beenreceiving, Accomac resident RobertGresham said, “What a pompousslap in the face to the taxpayers andemployees of Accomack County. Dothese people even care about em-ployee morale? If there is justifica-tion for calling for a recall vote onthese five supervisors, we need to doit. Accomack County government isbecoming a disgrace to its residents.”

Gresham, who has been picket-ing in front of the county officebuilding prior to each meeting, list-ed Supervisors Mallette, SandyMears, Ron Wolff, Grayson Chesserand Phil McCaleb in his reference.

The board agreed to use a newhealth plan to save $80,000. Coun-ty Administrator Steve Miner saidthe policy “is a very excellent plan.”

In other budget action, the super-

visors unanimously gave the greenlight to a plan to initiate semi-annu-al billing for personal- property tax-es and eliminate the need for vehicledecals in 2010. Finance DirectorMike Mason said $2 million in tax-es would come in earlier by enact-ing the plan. About $950,000 ofthat money would go toward a“rainy day,” fund with the rest ear-marked for a new software pro-gram needed to manage the billing.

A majority of the board alsoagreed to decrease the funds for anew public service authority from$200,000 to $100,000. Only Mal-lette and McCaleb were opposed.

Other county departments werecut between 5 and 10 percent, inaddition to the 3 percent across-the-board slashes that were origi-nally included in the draft.

The board met for about 25 min-utes in a closed session “for consul-tation with legal counsel regardinglitigation threatened by the Un-alienable Rights Foundation.” Noaction was taken when the boardcame back in open session.

Supervisors Reduce Their Health Plan by 25 Percent


By Linda CicoiraDean Orsino and his wife, Lau-

rie Walton, have a $42 milliondream. The Chincoteague Islandshop owners want a retired NASAspace shuttle to be housed on theEastern Shore of Virginia.

So far, Gov. Tim Kaine, Del. Lyn-wood Lewis, the Virginia TourismCorporation and Chincoteague’sTown Council, Oyster Museum,Main Street Merchants Associa-tion and Cultural Alliance are infavor of the vision.

“I had a whimsical idea,” saidOrsino, who is hoping that no U.S.schools, federal agencies, states or

municipalities buy the shuttle.Those are the groups to whichNASA is willing to sell the shuttleswhen the program ends in 2010.

According to Scientific Ameri-can magazine, NASA “estimates itwill cost $42 million to detoxify thefuel systems and conduct other‘safing’ measures, prep the orbiterfor indoor display and transport itby air to its final destination.”

NASA says “it may cost more toreach far-flung locations requiring along-distance haul ‘over public road-ways which may require removal oflight posts and traffic signals ortransport by barge over water.’ ”

Orsino and Walton want theshuttle to be brought to the NASAWallops Visitors’ Center to enticemore tourists to visit the area.Their business, Threadgoodes, ahome merchandise and accessoriesstore, is just a few miles away.

“I think it’s a great idea,” Chin-coteague Mayor Jack Tarr saidMonday when Orsino brought theconcept to Town Council. Next

week he plans to ask Accomack su-pervisors for their endorsement.

“It certainly would be an addi-tional draw,” Orsino said. “I don’tknow what the statistics would be.”

Since the government allocatesmoney for retired ships, Orsino saidperhaps the same could be done forthe space shuttle. “They’re not justgoing to park it at the end of a Flori-da or Houston runway,” he said.

NASA has three shuttles, At-lantis, Endeavour and Discovery.According to the space agency, oneof them is bound for the NationalAir and Space Museum in Wash-ington, D.C.

That leaves two shuttles up forgrabs. Just imagine “the years of eco-nomic benefits for the Eastern Shoreand Chincoteague,” said Orsino.

“They could accommodate it,” headded, pointing out that the visi-tors’ center is the perfect spotsince NASA already owns it. Giv-ing vacationers more to do whenthey come here, while keeping the“Mayberry” effect of Chincoteague,

would be ideal, he continued.Nine years ago, Orsino told Wal-

ton that he would take her on atrip to anywhere. She desired tosee the famous island ponies. Afew years later, they bought a con-do on Chincoteague.

captivated the crowd. “For over 24 years …each and every time, I prayed for each andevery one of you in the name of Jesus,” she said.

“If you don’t stand for something, you mightfall for anything,” she added, telling the audi-ence that she depended on Jesus after her sondied. “In the name of Jesus there’s healing. Itgets you through,” she said.

Kay Lewis, president of the local citizens’group Hear Our Voices (HOV), presented peti-tions to the supervisors with the signatures of635 residents. All wanted the action rescinded.

“Many years ago, Christ was denied,” saidLewis. “Let it not be said that in 2009 thisBoard of Supervisors denied him again.”

Supervisors Wanda Thornton and Donald Hartled the movement to allow invocations by all cler-gy. Supervisors Jack Gray, Ron Wolff, Phil Mc-Caleb and Vice Chairwoman Laura Belle Gordyalso wanted to go back to the old tradition.

The thought was that usually Christianprayers would be given that include “Jesus,”but that prayers offered on a rotation by all de-nominations would be accepted.

Gordy said the “issue was a shock to her.”She took the advice of County Attorney MarkTaylor and voted accordingly the last time. But,after the letters started pouring in, she felt she“had really done a crime.”

“We were given freedom of religion, not free-dom from religion,” said Thornton.

Chairman Steve Mallette and SupervisorsGrayson Chesser and Sandy Hart Mears stoodfirm in wanting to get the attorney general’sopinion on the issue.

Elimination of references to particular reli-gious beliefs occurred after Taylor warned su-pervisors that the county could be sued if it didotherwise.

Thornton said Taylor would request the at-torney general’s opinion by submitting his ownthoughts on the subject. “That’s how it works,”

she said. She contended that the mater shouldhave been handled differently.

“Each of us has our own relationship to Je-sus Christ,” said Mallette. “I swore to God” touphold the law. “I didn’t have my fingerscrossed when I did that.” He said he wants le-gal clarification.

McCaleb voted initially to follow Taylor’s ad-vice. He asked the crowd how many would ac-cept a tax increase to pay off a lawsuit.

“You’re running scared,” an unidentifiedvoice shouted.

“Hire an attorney that will win the case,”yelled another.

“I think we’re doing a disservice … if wedon’t ask for an opinion,” said Chesser. “To doanything less is not doing our duty.”

“All this controversy started from within,”Hart complained. “For 29 years … we have beensaying invocations … never, never one timestepping on anybody’s toes … everybody who

said the prayer spoke from the heart.”“I don’t believe I ever read anything that was

ever more jolting” than the headline that Jesuswas banned, said Chincoteague CouncilmanTerry Howard. “I hope the headlines are justthe opposite next time.”

Land-Use TaxationSparks Debate

By Linda Cicoira Danny Mills of Cashville and his brother

rent farmland from about 40 different propertyholders.

“My landlords are absolutely wonderful peo-ple,” he said. “But they have to pass these addi-tional taxes along.”

Mills was asking Accomack supervisors toreconsider raising real-estate rates and to con-tinue with land-use taxation, which gives taxbreaks for those acres.

“As you drive my cost up, you are takingaway this advantage we have” over Midwestfarmers, he said. “We can’t pass the price along.We have to live with it.”

Mills said, “Services are very minimal. Weare already paying a lot of revenues.”

The subject has been controversial amongsupervisors who are looking for ways to raisemoney for the county’s dwindling coffers. Someofficials are concerned about those who takeadvantage of the tax break only to later devel-op the property.

There have also been questions about the en-forcement of time restrictions for developersand the application of property tax policies.

Supervisor Jack Gray voiced opposition topenalizing landowners and farmers by doingaway with land-use taxation. He added thatsince the Shore’s first settlers, the farmers havepaid the “brunt of the taxes.”

Supervisor Wanda Thornton argued that mi-grant labor “uses tremendous amounts of serv-ices in Accomack County.” She listed Social Ser-vices, the hospital, judicial system and schools.“It is a horrendous amount,” she said.

Cape CharlesTown Council lastweek voted 4-0( C o u n c i l m e nChris Bannon andSteve Bennett ab-sent) to move forwardwith the proposed waste-water treatment facility for thetown. The 250,000-gallon-per-day(gpd) facility will replace a 20-year-old plant of similar size, butwill reduce chemical runoff intothe Chesapeake Bay.

Town Consultant Bob Panekoutlined timelines for completingthe engineering plans and indicat-ed that if all progresses as expect-ed, construction will begin in Sep-tember. The town is under the gunto have a replacement plant opera-tional by January 2011.

Cape Charles hopes to use anumber of grants and other federalmoney, such as the stimulus pro-gram, to help pay the estimated $16million pricetag. One idea to helpreduce the cost is to offer the serv-

ices of the new plant to users out-side the town. Councilman LarryVeber suggested that the residentsof Cheriton and other nearby areasmight wish to consider becomingpart of a regional system operatedby the Town of Cape Charles.

Prior to voting on the issue, someresidents voiced concern over thenew facility, knowing that WebtideAssociates is also in the process ofdeveloping a regional system. Lin-da Buskey said the town cannot af-ford the cost of a new plant withsuch an enormous cost. She pressedcouncil to back off from the ideaand partner with Webtide.

John Blackburn also urged thetown to side with Webtide. “Ashared facility is a better way togo,” he said.

Laura Talman echoed Buskeyand Blackburn and questioned thebond rating for the town.

Mary Ann McDivit expressedconcern over wastewater bills thatcould exceed $80 per month.

Oral Lambert suggested that thestate would not turn a blind eye togiving the town an extension on thetime limit of January 2011 to be incompliance with discharge of treat-ed wastewater into the bay. He too

suggested the need to partner withWebtide to form a regional system.

Berkley Rayfield addressedcouncil with regards to reuse of theformer Cape Charles High School,stating that a group expects to be-gin operation of a new privateschool this fall. Rayfield indicatedthat the school would likely have50 students when it opens. Thetown is currently investigating us-ing the building as a multi-familystructure that could have as manyas 13 apartments carved out of theformer classrooms, with a projectedrental per unit for the town of $500to $650 per month. Melvin Dudleysuggested that the town use the oldschool as a site for the town library.

Harbormaster Smitty Dize an-nounced that the town has beenawarded a grant for $377,000 toconstruct additional docks for larg-er vessels. The docks will be addednear the existing “gravel docks” butnot until the first of several off-shore breakwater units is in place.

In other action, council author-ized the mayor to sign contracts tohelp move forward with the Broad-band Initiative for the town.

Council also agreed to schedulea public hearing on a request to

open a new restaurant, OceanCove Seafood Deli, in town.

…………………………………The U.S. Environmental Protec-

tion Agency announced last weekthat it has awarded a $662,900grant to Cape Charles to eliminatesanitary sewer overflows at theMason Avenue pump station.

The sanitary overflow is located40 feet from Cape Charles Harbor.

The grant, funded through thestate and Tribal Grant Program, willbe used to install 2,000 feet of sewerlines to divert wastewater flow fromMason Avenue to the Cape Charleswastewater treatment plant.

Cape Charles also will upgradefour wastewater pump stations —at Mason Avenue, Pine Street,Plum Street and Washington Av-enue — replacing pumps and elec-trical controls and making othernecessary repairs.

Upgrading the pump stationswill improve their performance andincrease their capacity. The totalcost of the project is $1.2 million.

The town is required to correctthis sanitary overflow as part of aFebruary 2006 letter of agreementwith the Virginia Department ofEnvironmental Quality.

IN REMEMBRANCE

JJohnny N. Godwin Jr. died last week. Johnny served for manyyears as an Accomack County deputy sheriff and later as theCounty fire marshal from 1985 until his retirement on Jan. 1,

2007. For many of the years from 1976-87 that I was Accomack Countycommonwealth’s attorney, Johnny was a deputy sheriff.

Throughout the years, I have never known a police officer who wasmore capable and dedicated than Johnny Godwin.

Johnny was unsurpassed at solving crimes. His assigned area was At-lantic District, where he lived. During that era, we did not have all thescientific and forensic CSI-like techniques that are now so prevalent.Johnny accomplished it through his “street smarts,” gritty determination,good old-fashioned “shoe leather,” and the fact that he knew people in hisdistrict and those people would talk to him. The Sheriff ’s Office at thattime was not organized into divisions such as criminal investigations, civ-il process, communications, and administration. Deputy sheriffs, likeJohnny, essentially had to do it all. It was not unusual for Johnny to work50 to 60 hours a week if he was working a case. He worked a great dealat night, when he could make contact with people, or keep them from“ducking him,” as the case would be. Routinely, he initially had a good in-tuition of who was involved, which was usually later substantiated. Ican’t count the nights that Johnny called me, picked me up, and off wewent to interview a potential witness he had “flushed out.” We rode manya mile together on the back roads of Atlantic District in those days.

I often said that you could have dropped Johnny from downtownSanford into the middle of New York City and in 30 days he would havebeen an effective police officer. In those 30 days he would have gainedrapport and trust with every “street person” in his assigned area andwould have been totally in touch with whatever was happening.

Johnny did not have much in the way of formal education. He quitschool early, later acquiring a GED. He often cautioned young peopleagainst leaving school early. Deputy sheriffs filed written reports and weused to “rag” on Johnny because of some of his spellings. He always saidin response that there were two ways of spelling a word: the “Websterway” and the “Godwin way,” and who was to say which was more accurate.

It would have been nice to have again reminisced with Johnny onelast time and told old “war stories.” Most assuredly he would have hada cigarette in one hand and a coffee cup in the other.

The people of Accomack County, and especially Atlantic District, owea debt of gratitude to Johnny Godwin for his many years of public serv-ice. Judging by the number of people and the grief clearly present at hisfuneral last Friday, it seems clear that the good folks of the county wellacknowledged such.

By Del.LynwoodLewis

On April8, the 2009V i r g i n i aG e n e r a lAssemblymet at itsc o n s t i t u -

tionally required reconvened ses-sion, to consider amendments tovarious House and Senate billsmade by the governor, and also toconsider the governor’s vetoes ofcertain legislation.

The governor made 100 amend-ments to House and Senate billsand vetoed nine bills. It takes asimple majority to either accept orreject a governor’s amendmentand it takes a two-thirds majorityof both Houses to override a gover-nor’s veto. The focus of whatturned out to be a very long day(noon-8:30 p.m.) and perhaps themost controversial and complicat-ed measure was the governor’samendment to a Senate bill which

would have broadened eligibilityfor unemployment benefits, andwould therefore have allowed Vir-ginia to receive $125 million in un-employment funds as part of thefederal recovery money. The funda-mental issue was whether to makethe changes or refuse to do so outof fear that the changes would bepermanent and could, severalyears down the road, result inhigher unemployment insurancepremiums for Virginia employers.States were given a “menu” fromthe federal government of benefits,two or more of which must be inplace before a state could accessthese federal dollars. Virginia hasa very conservative unemploymentcompensation program; only fourother states have more limited cov-erage. In fact, it ranks 50th in av-erage tax per employee in theUnited States. Gov. Kaine chosethe two least costly to employers ifemployers should ever begin tobear a share of the expanded bene-fits. Specifically, he chose to allowthose engaged in workforce train-

ing programs at the time they losetheir jobs to continue the trainingand collect unemployment benefitsand second, allow those who hadand lost part-time jobs to collectunemployment benefits while theysought work.

At first I was skeptical of thechanges because of the possibilitythat within a few years employerscould bear additional unemploy-ment insurance program costs.However, they would be reversibleonce the federal money ran out.The benefits would also be rela-tively modest in cost if employersshould ever have to bear the cost ofthem ($4 per employee per year).The annual cost of the broadenedbenefits is only a very small por-tion of the $125 million. In addi-tion, it is clear that these are ex-traordinary times. The VirginiaEmployment Commission provid-ed me with statistics that indicat-ed that the current unemploymentrate in Accomack County is 7.8percent and in NorthamptonCounty it’s 10.3 percent. The staterate is 6.5 percent. AccomackCounty has lost more than 1,000jobs since this recession started

and both counties will likely lose sev-eral more before we are on the roadto recovery. Also, this was not a deci-sion as to the appropriateness of theStimulus Package as a whole nor itsindividual parts. The decision tospend this money has already beenmade in Washington and it will bespent somewhere in this country, somy thought was that it should bespent in our communities (it is, afterall, funded by our tax dollars or thedebt supplying the money will beserviced by our tax dollars).

Sen.

WESRTHE SHORE

Supervisor Spencer Murray ex-pressed concerns with the county’seconomic future. “I do not believeand the public has not acceptedthat agriculture, aquaculture, andtourism alone will assure our pros-perity,” he said. “Counties, like cor-porations, stagnate and die whenthey fail to innovate and grow, los-ing market share and an economicreason to exist. Our challenges arereal and because I believe much ofthis economic plan draft acknowl-edges this reality, and because Ihope for a revised Zoning Ordi-nance that supports this economicplan, I can support its adoption.

Murray stated that if the countywants no growth, all it needs to dois keep on doing what it’s doing.

A second issue that drew publiccomments concerned revampingthe Joint Local Planning Commis-sion whose size has varied from as9 to 15 members, with some ap-pointed by the county and some by

the towns.Following a brief discussion, the

supervisors, voted to withdrawfrom the current Joint Local Plan-ning Commission and establish anew commission with nine mem-bers, all appointed by the board ofsupervisors — one from each vot-ing district and three at-large. Onemain change from the current com-mission makeup will be that whilethe towns will be able to suggestrepresentatives to the commission,they will not have the opportunityto actually appoint someone oftheir choosing.

In a final action of the eveningthe Supervisors voted to request theArmy Corps of Engineers (COE) toconsider dredging the entrance toOccohannock Creek to improve nav-igation to that waterway. It was re-ported that the COE is currentlydredging portions of the Virginia In-side Passage (VIP) in the area ofMagothy Bay south of Oyster.

26 • Eastern Shore Post • April 17, 2009

‘Bus’-tedBy Bill Massey

There’s not much going on fromPainter to the bridge-tunnel whenI’m out delivering the Post startingaround 3:30 a.m, but I keep myeyes peeled just the same, becauseone never knows.

Deer jumping out of nowhere(even on Lankford Highway some-times), unexpected debris flyingout of a pick-up when its bed isn’tproperly tied down, giant chunksof a retread tire from a big rig go-ing who-knows-where — I watchfor it all. Plus, every time I get outof my car for a delivery, I glancearound for a couple of seconds tosee if anything in that vicinity haschanged, like when I’m in a townsuch as Exmore or Cape Charles, Ilook to see if any new business hasopened or any old one has closed,or if it’s an even smaller town tosee if anything is different at all.

Usually, I must say, everything

in my travels stays pretty much thesame and fits in with everythingelse around it. But, one exception Icome up with every week is in Ex-more at Shore Plaza, where FoodLion and Roses are —and that ex-ception is a big, old navy-blue buswith “Exmore Police Department”written across its entire side.

“That bus,” Exmore Town ClerkEthel Parks clarified for me, “is a1971 Thomas Bus, and that’s allthe information I have on it.”

Fair enough, I thought. But,what’s left of my inquiring mindwanted to know more about it andwhy it is parked at Shore Plaza, soI asked Steve Elliott, who is the Ex-more Chief of Police, and has been a“town cop” in Exmore for 28 years.

Elliott told me, “We got the busa couple of years back when someof us went across the bay to look atsome street equipment for townmaintenance. While there, GeraldPitt Jr. and I saw this bus andthought it would be nice to have asa command center for things like

town and school events — any bigpublic events — or special logis-tics. The bus,” Elliott added, “hadbeen set up as a command centerfor the Norfolk Fire Departmentand served them until it was re-placed. When we came back, wetold our mayor, Guy Lawson, aboutit and he took it from there.

Lawson, mayor of Exmore forover 15 years now, makes his livingas a paid firefighter in Norfolk,and so he talked to members ofNorfolk city management aboutthe turned-in bus.

“When we went across the bayto pick up some equipment webought,” Elliott continued, “theysaid, ‘Don't forget to pick up yourkeys to the bus. It’s yours.’ And sowe got the bus for free.”

But “free” was just the originalprice.

“When we got the bus backhere,” Elliott said, “we knew it wasreally nice and we were thankful,but we still did work on it. Guybought blue and white paint, Ernie

James of Painter, retired from theSuffolk County, New York, PoliceDepartment, did all the graphics,and the rest of us chipped in andbought different things like ventsand wiring to make it an operablecommand center gain.”

“But why,” I asked Elliott, “doyou keep the bus at the shoppingcenter?”

“Because,” he answered, “itgives us a presence and makes thepublic think. Having it there, espe-cially over the holidays, makesshoplifters and thieves thinktwice. A lot of times we’ll do someof our paperwork there, too.Will wekeep it at Shore Plaza year ’round?No, we’ll move it to where we holdthe Troy Ashe Pistol Tournamentfor awhile, and the annual ExmoreYard Sale and other big eventsthat may require security. We evenuse it for when we do Identi-Kids.The big thing,” Elliott emphasized,“is it gives us a positive presence.”

And, I thought, probably makesa bad guy think twice.

McCaleb Remarks WereCallous in the Extreme

Dear Editor:Please, tell me that there was a mistake in

the Post edition from Friday, April 10, on Page5, wherein Accomack Supervisor Phil McCalebis quoted as saying “he favors cutting schoolfunds in the hopes that more students would besent to ‘Broadwater and these other Christianschools’ so the county wouldn’t have to pay toeducate them.’ ”

This despicable comment, coming from a su-pervisor, goes beyond the pale. McCaleb needsto either retract or immediately clarify his re-mark with regards to its consummate hubris.How dare he imply that the further decimationof the Accomack County School System’s al-ready threadbare budget would result in par-ents sending children “to Broadwater or theseother Christian schools”?

If his was a verbal gaffe, then, by all means,allow the man to apologize to Accomack Coun-ty schoolchildren’s parents, who pay hissalary and fully-funded health benefits,for his pompous blurt. However, if this is indeedthe man’s opinion, then I call him to task on hiscomment and he must coherently articulatewhat he meant, advocating other schools for

our children so that “the county doesn’t have topay to educate them.” Parents (taxpayers andvoters) of Accomack County schoolchildren de-serve better than this astounding hauteur ut-tered by McCaleb.

Implicit in his bizarre comment, McCaleb’swords show a cavalier disregard for the chil-dren of his constituents and the quality of theireducation. Even worse, his language speaks toa personal deficit vis-à-vis the myriad advan-tages of a public school education.

It is the duty and responsibility of the coun-ty to adequately and fairly fund AccomackCounty schools. This must always be its priori-ty. When funds are in short supply, the correctresponse is not the tacit endorsement of alter-native or parochial schools either by name or bydenomination as a means to save the countymoney. Such a response engenders disdain forthe speaker and conjures up images of very badaccounting practices reminiscent of recent eco-nomic debacles.

While the county school budgets undergo yetanother round of evisceration by misguidedscavengers, teachers continue to buy their ownpaper clips, marking pens and other supplies re-quired to properly run a classroom. The dilem-ma is worsened by McCaleb’s glib retort and aneconomy so dire, is duplicitous in the extreme.

Support for Church Outreach Is Appreciated

Dear Editor:I wish to thank all who supported our recent

fundraiser, helping to make it a success.Though we planned to sell a certain amount ofdinners, and also have extra to do outreach tosick and shut-ins during these events, I’m gladto say we had sold out of chicken by 2 p.m.while still doing outreach. I do apologize tothose who came out later in the day and werenot able to purchase their dinners, since wewere scheduled to do the dinners until 5 p.m.,but we are planning another event next month.

Again, thank you for your support.Pastor Bobby Carroll Huether

Jesus Is Important to All Our Lives

Dear Editor:I want to thank Sheila Bloxom of Chin-

coteague who wrote in a recent Letter to theEditor of her feelings regarding taking thename of Jesus Christ out of the opening prayerat meetings of the Accomack County Board ofSupervisors. I firmly believe in Jesus Christand without him I would be lost.

People today are so afraid of what societywill think when certain issues arise, such as

PostPost Office Mail

opening with prayer and saying grace. As onenotable Christian singer, Vestal Goodman, saidto an audience, “With Jesus in your life, our jobwill work, your marriage willwork, your children will work.It will all flow right when youkeep Jesus involved.” This ap-plies to business matters aswell, in my opinion.

So please, take this letter toheart, and may you be blessedby it through the love of Jesus.

Food Lion OffersPersonal Service

Dear Editor:I would like to publicly thank Keith Justice,

assistant manager of Food Lion, and MarkMapp, grocery manager, who got approval tocorrect a mistake I made with the ham tickets,as I was in a jam after I had spent and hour cal-culating the $20 certificate into my budget anddidn’t realize until I walked into the store thatI was one ticket short.

Mark called Keith to explain my situation,as I am a regular customer, and Keith said, “Lether have it,” which meant the world to me, as Ididn’t know how to split my list after an hour ofputting it together.

I will say I had a great day at Food Lionwhen also Mike the meat man, who was new tome, not only cut a special cut of meat, but foundme in the aisle to give it to me.

You can’t ask for more than that, except forBurley, my outstanding meat cutter for years,who works hard with a joyous smile.

Food Lion cares about its customers with apersonal touch.

Tangier Group Looks toSecure Island’s Future

Dear Editor:What is the future of Tangier Island?Will its culture of hardy watermen thrive?

Will the exit to mainland jobs continue, orwill things eventually balance out? Willtourism become its primary industry?

Those are among the driving questions of anew organization, Tangier Pride. Its motto,“Our Island, Our Pride,” emphasizes self-helpwithin the community of about 550 residents,

but realizes that some challenges require out-side involvement.

The historic island, which dates to 1608, isparticularly affected by regulations aimed atrestoring the Chesapeake Bay. Watermen find itincreasingly difficult to make a living there, so alarge number is leaving to work on tugs, oftenrelocating their families to the mainland. Youngpeople, who are unable to obtain licenses for

crabbing or to find other jobson Tangier, are lured off bycollege, the military or em-ployment.

In a letter to Tangier resi-dents and former residents, Isaid the organization “willconcentrate on opportunities

that offer jobs and preserve our rich traditionsand find new ways to capitalize on our re-sources.”

I grew up on Tangier and retired last year asan editor of the Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk. I livein Suffolk and often visit relatives on the islandwith my family. Other officers and board mem-bers of Tangier Pride live on the island.

Tangier Pride’s immediate goal is to becometax-free and obtain grants. The legal work isunderway.

With the organization’s encouragement,Tangier Town Council recently took prelimi-nary steps for a grant to study the future of abuilding that now houses Tangier Health Cen-ter, which is being moved to a new structure.

We need to know the highest and best use ofthis property. With planning money from thetown and grants obtained by Tangier Pride, res-idents could brainstorm uses of the building,come to consensus, and the town and TangierPride could fund the project.

Tangier Pride plans to host community ses-sions to identify how to capitalize on island as-sets and how to address top concerns of theresidents.

With a dwindling population, the pressure ofbay regulations and social changes, the TownCouncil alone cannot address all these con-

cerns. Instead of “they,” who will determine ourfuture? It must be increasingly “we.”

In the letter to residents and former resi-dents, Tangier Pride asked for contributionsfor matching funds, which would increaseTangier’s chance of success to obtain grants.Contributions can be sent to Tangier Pride, c/oDanny McCready P.O. Box 3, Tangier, VA23440.

Even in these difficult economic times, Tang-ier Pride believes the need for fund-raising nowis urgent. In most instances, grant makers re-quire conviction that the applicant is trying tohelp itself, and that is where this fundraisingeffort comes in.

Let’s Stop PromotingTourism on the Shore

Dear Editor:I read with disgust the statement, “There

was support for tourism” in a front-page article.Worse yet, there was an article in the previousweek’s Post concerning the construction of anew Welcome Center down near the bridge-tun-nel system. No thanks.

Who are the people supporting more tourismin this area? I have to assume that they arepeople who have restaurants and T-shirt shopsand only make up a small percentage of the to-tal population here on the Eastern Shore.

I personally watched the total annihilationof the central part of the Florida Panhandleby the tourism industry. In a mere 15 years,the amount of traffic, pollution, and over-de-velopment of a once beautiful area forcedmany people who were not employed in thetourist industry to move away. This is easilysubstantiated. I chose the Eastern Shore ofVirginia as my refuge from tourism. I love ithere. Just as it is.

Check out the road approaching Chin-coteague and Assateague. There are about 70huge, repulsive, commercial billboards liningone side of the road. Does anyone, anyone at all,think they are attractive? Most would agreethat they are an eyesore. They should eachhave a conspicuous logo of a turkey vulture rep-resenting their true purpose.

I, for one, would like to see the entire bridge-tunnel system dismantled and replaced with avery nice, upscale ferry system, greatly reduc-ing the traffic on Rt. 13. How many local peo-ple are interested in going to Assateague Islandin the summer time? On the weekends there isno place to park at the beach and the entirearea is flooded with hordes of tourists.

Maybe this issue of increasing tourismshould be put to a vote. Well, here’s my vote inadvance: No to more tourism.
