Boat crashes into channel marker;
one person dies, nine are injured
A 25-year-old Glen Allen woman
died and nine people were seriously
injured in a boating accident in the
Rappahannock River between Water
View and Morattico at about 10:15
p.m. Monday, July 5, according to
John Bull, the director of public relations at the Virginia Marine Resources
Commission (VMRC).
According to published reports, all
10 people on the boat are from the
Richmond area.
Bull and Mark Ogle, the Coast
Guard commander in charge of search
and rescue, gave the following account
of the fatal accident during a press
conference at Millstone Landing in
Water View Tuesday morning.
Steven Nixon, 38, of Montpelier in
Hanover County was at the helm of his
2005 model 23-foot Chaparral bowrider boat with nine passengers, who
were family members and friends,
when the accident occurred.
The fiberglass boat was traveling
about 35 miles per hour when the bow
crashed into the center of the lighted
Number 10 channel marker in the
Rappahannock River.
Earlier in the evening, there were 12
people on the boat. The group had been
at Charlie’s Tiki Bar and Grill at Windmill Point Marina, said Bull. They left
the bar, went to Grey’s Point at Topping and dropped off two boys whose
parents were waiting to pick them up.
This left 10 people on the vessel.
Steven Nixon, a captain in the
Richmond Fire Department, then proceeded up the river, reportedly heading toward a location near Belle Isle
State Park in Lancaster County when
the boat struck the channel marker.
Coast Guard officials stated the light
on the channel marker was flashing
when rescue boats arrived at the crash
scene. They said the light flashes every
few seconds.

The crash site was at the lighted
Number 10 channel marker in the
Rappahannock River near Morattico in Lancaster County and
about a mile from Water View in
Middlesex County.
Several of the 10 onboard the boat
were thrown into the water. A passenger, Amanda Brady, 25, died from the
crash and was found on the bottom of
the river Tuesday morning by Coast
Guard divers in 18 feet of water—
just a few yards from where the accident occurred. Brady was a 5th grade
school teacher in the Henrico County
Public School System.
Steven Nixon suffered head injuries
from crashing head-first into the boat’s
console. His wife, Angela Nixon, 38,
suffered leg injuries.
Steven Nixon’s 11-year-old son,
Zach, suffered the most serious injuries, including severe head trauma.
Chase Buchanon, 13, had a severe
leg injury and Steven Nixon’s cousin,
Chris Carnes, 29, was hospitalized for
a head injury.
All five of the seriously injured were
transported by either helicopter or by
local rescue squads to the VCU Medical Center in Richmond.
Bailey Nixon, 10, and MacKenzie
Buchanon, 11, were not as severely
injured and were transported to
Riverside Walter Reed Hospital in
Gloucester.
Steven Nixon’s brother, Patrick, 26,
and his sister Kelly, 43, were transported to Riverside Tappahannock
Hospital.
Bull described the crash “as one of
the worst boating accidents in the history of VMRC. No one I’ve talked to
remembers one any worse.”
Ogle said that immediately after
the accident someone on Nixon’s boat
called 911 from their cell phone. “Our
volunteer Coast Guard Auxiliary
members in that area were the first on
the scene,” said Ogle. “They came in
and did a great job in one of the worst
boating accidents I’ve ever seen.”
Zach Nixon was desperately in
need of help, said Ogle. In order to
get the boy out of the water safely, a
Coast Guard helicopter and crew flew
from Elizabeth City, North Carolina.
It was equipped with a rescue basket.
A diver dropped from the helicopter
into the water to assist auxiliary members and others to get the injured boy
into the basket.
The boy was flown to an open field
next to the Water View Firehouse
where he was then taken by another
helicopter to the VCU Medical
Center.
A total of five helicopters and several rescue squad units from three
counties—Middlesex, Essex, and
Gloucester—responded.
Working through the night in the
rescue effort were 15 VMRC officers,
numerous coast guard personnel, offi-

cers from the Department of Game
and Inland Fisheries, State Police and
members of its dive team, local rescue
squad members, firemen, Middlesex
Sheriff Guy Abbott and several of his
deputies.
Millstone Landing at Water View
served as the operations base of the
search and rescue effort, and was
where the injured were taken for
transport to medical facilities.
Ogle and Bull both indicated that
everyone involved in the search and
rescue did an outstanding job. “It
really was a team effort and I can’t
thank everyone enough for all their
help,” said Ogle.

Extra funds allow schools to
keep five teaching positions
At Tuesday’s meeting of the
Middlesex Board of Supervisors,
chairman Jack Miller and longtime
member Fred Crittenden questioned
Middlesex School Superintendent
Rusty Fairheart on whether teachers
or school administrators received pay
raises in fiscal year 2010-11.
Fairheart assured the supervisors
that only cafeteria workers got a raise.

Cafeteria workers get no local funds
and are primarily federally funded.
After the meeting, Fairheart explained
that hourly cafeteria workers got a 3%
raise—about 25 cents an hour.
A proposed 1% pay raise for all
other school employees was eliminated in the budget before approval,
Fairheart said after the meeting.

Memorial
scholarship
established
The Middlesex County School
Board agreed on June 14 to create
a memorial scholarship fund in the
name of William Ruffin Creekmur, a
2009 Middlesex High School graduate who died in an automobile crash
on February 22, 2010.
While driving to Rappahannock
Community College at Glenns,
Creekmur lost control of his car and
died from injuries sustained in the
accident.
MHS high school principal Stephen
G. Castle wrote in a letter to the school
board, “Ruffin was well known in the
Middlesex community as a friendly,
outgoing person to anyone who knew
him.”
The purpose of the scholarship
would be to provide support for students who aspire to continue with
their education at the college level,
wrote Castle.
“It is the hope of family members
that this scholarship would also preserve the memory of Ruffin while
reminding students to always remain
alert and cautious while driving,”
Castle wrote.
Potential recipients of the award
would be those students who display
character traits similar to those Ruffin
displayed while in school. More specifically, this would be a person who
is in good academic standing, active,
kind-hearted, and someone who cares
about other people, wrote Castle.
Creekmur’s family has encouraged
the creation of the scholarship and his
grandmother spoke in its support at
the June 14 school board meeting.
In other matters the school board:

Bull. None of the adults was wearing
a life jacket, he added.
Bull noted the boat had the appropriate number of life jackets.
Alcohol appears to have been a
factor. “We know alcohol was involved
and we have had the [boat] driver’s
blood tested,” said Bull. “When we
arrived, there were empty beer cans
floating in the boat and all around it
in the water.”
The heavily-damaged boat was confiscated and taken to Newport News,
where it will be examined and used
as evidence if legal action is required.
“When we get all of our information
together we will turn it over to the
Lancaster Commonwealth’s Attorney,”
in the budget process, Fairheart said
the money was used to maintain five
teaching positions. “That money was
used to avoid eliminating five teaching
positions in the school division,” Fairheart explained after the meeting.
In May, both Miller and Crittenden
voted against adding the $250,000 to
the school budget.
Fairheart also noted the Middlesex
Public School System’s FY11 budget is
$482,000 less than the FY10 budget.
top of the CIP priorities are an elevator
for the Woodward Building in Saluda,
which houses county offices, and construction of an Emergency Operations
Center (EOC) in the basement of the
new county courthouse in Saluda.
The CIP is a planning tool that lists
long-term county building projects
that have a useful life of more than 5
years and construction costs exceeding $50,000. This year’s proposed CIP
update prioritizes projects and does
not contain new projects, said county
planning director Matt Walker.
Among other things, the CIP is
needed in order for the county to
accept cash proffers from developers.
Being listed on the CIP is not a
request for funding nor does it mean
the project will be funded or undertaken.
No CIP project will be funded in
fiscal year 2010-11 (FY11).
The capital improvement fund now
totals $264,000 in cash reserves. The
costs of the top three CIP projects total
an estimated $1.8 million.
The proposed $4.6 million sewage
treatment plant to serve the Saluda
area, Middlesex Courthouse and
county offices has slipped to number
6 on the draft CIP plan, which will be
considered by the Middlesex Planning
Commission tonight, July 8, at 7:30
p.m. at a meeting in the historic courthouse.
The Middlesex Board of Supervisors will act on the CIP after a public
hearing on July 20 at 7:30 p.m.
A permit for a 39,900 gallon per day
sewage treatment plant was granted
last fall by DEQ. The draft CIP proposes funding to begin with a $2.5
million allocation in 2014.
At a recent planning commission
meeting, county supervisor Jack
Miller said the sewage treatment plant
should be higher on the priority list
than number 6. Commission member
J.D. Davis agreed.
Top Priorities
Adding an elevator to the Woodward
Building and building an Emergency
Operations Center (EOC) in the basement of the new courthouse would
cost a total of $273,000. The cost of
each individual project is not specified
in the plan.
Without an elevator, the Woodward
Building is not handicapped accessible or compliant with the American Disabilities Act, states the project
summary.
Middlesex currently uses the second
floor of the Woodward Building as

— Heritage Day Celebration — Stabbing, handgun theft letters
are under investigation
Middlesex County Sheriff
deputies responded to a reported
fight on Sunday, July 4, just
after midnight on Courthouse
Road in Saluda, said deputy
R.D. Cable. Upon arrival, no
complaints were filed and deputies left the scene.
About 20 minutes later, a
hospital employee called the
Middlesex Sheriff’s Office and
said they were treating a victim
who had been stabbed in the
abdomen, said Deputy Cable.
Police believe the victim was at
the alleged fight on Courthouse
Road.
The alleged stabbing is being
investigated.
Alleged handgun theft
In an unrelated matter, police
are investigating a possible
theft of a handgun that allegedly occurred while a moving
company was moving belongings from the handgun owner’s

July 2, Capt. Green was called
(Photo by Tom Chillemi) to the scene after the gun owner
noticed his handgun was missing.
Three males who work for a
moving company from Richmond had been left in the house
unsupervised, Capt. Green
explained.
The large tractor-trailer
moving van was too big to fit
in the victim’s driveway. So, a
smaller rental van was used to
move property out of the house
and take it to a waiting tractortrailer at old Payne’s Store on
Route 33 and Mill Creek Road.
Capt. Green said he got consent from the moving company
employees to search the rental
van and tractor-trailer. While
Capt. Green searched the vehicles, the gun owner walked
around the old store and spotted
the butt of the handgun sticking
out from under the store’s foundation, said Capt. Green.
Middlesex Investigator P.T.
Lyons Jr. was called to the
scene. He secured the handgun
in an evidence bag and took
fingerprints and DNA samples
from all three suspects, said
Capt. Green. The evidence will
be checked at the State Lab.
Felony charges of larceny of
a handgun are pending, Green
added.
and “is particularly prone to
be affected by potential natural
disasters,” states the CIP plan
summary. The courthouse basement would be a more secure
and reliable location for an
EOC, the summary states. The
project is listed as “Urgent.”
Second on the proposed CIP
priority list is renovation of
the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office
building, and construction of
a 4,400 square-foot addition
to the building. The addition
would nearly double the size of
the existing sheriff’s building,
which is currently 4,800 square
feet. The estimated cost is $1.67
million for the project, which is
needed to meet requirements
for an Accredited Law Enforcement Agency. The project is
listed as “Urgent.”
Funding for the sheriff’s
office addition could begin with
an allocation of $257,230 in
FY12 and $857,000 in FY13.
Third on the proposed CIP
is renovation of the Middlesex
High School gym and the classrooms in the gym at a cost of
$223,000. The gym building
has not been renovated since
it was built in 1975, the CIP
states. Items that need improve-
iliary athletic spaces. Also, the
metal siding is showing signs
of deterioration. Total funding
is projected for FY13.
The next three projects on
the draft CIP list could begin
funding in 2014 with a total of
$3.5 million allocated that year.
The projects include development of Middlesex High
School (MHS) athletic fields
to accommodate baseball,
tennis and track, $270,000;
renovation of the east wing at
MHS, $258,000; and building
a sewage treatment plant, $4.6
million.
Rounding out the nine proposed projects are a new building to house maintenance,
transportation and warehouse
needs of the schools, $529,000;
development of the athletic
fields at St. Clare Walker
Middle School, $79,000; and
development of athletic fields at
Middlesex Elementary School,
$77,000.
Two projects on the 2007
Capital Improvement Plan
have been completed—a new
roof on part of Middlesex High
School; and airplane T-hangars

“Another successful Deltaville Community Association
Heritage Day celebration!”
That’s how event director
Kris Scherrer summed up last
Saturday’s 23rd annual event in
Deltaville.
“Special thanks go to all
the volunteers who made it
happen,” said Scherrer. “Without all of you, it wouldn’t be
possible. The suppliers to the
food booth—Deltaville Market,
J&W Seafood, Moo’s Deli, and
CoCoMo’s—are what make it
possible for all the proceeds to
go toward that evening’s fireworks display.
“Thanks also to all the volunteers working that day in
the food booth. Every year the
fireworks get more expensive,
making it a challenge to continue. All the support to the
Deltaville Community Association is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,” said Scherrer.
“The pet parade, children’s
parade and crab races were
again the highlights of the day,”
said Scherrer.
“Thanks also to our sheriff’s
office for the organization of
the parade and traffic control in
town. What a great event that
was! And our grand marshals
were stunning.
“Again, Eddie Harrow, as our
announcer for the parade, was
great, and we thank all who
always help us from the set-up
to the closing-up. Many thanks
to all,” said Scherrer.

Pluck, Perseverance and Progress
County, not Urbanna,
to enforce dog laws
by Tom Chillemi
Middlesex Animal Control
will continue to enforce the
county’s nuisance animal ordinance in Urbanna.
Recently, the Urbanna Town
Council had considered changing its animal ordinance to control nuisance dogs. However,
after a public hearing where
anti-leash law residents made
it known how they felt, and
months of debate, no action was
taken.
Council had considered other
town animal ordinance changes,
but they also were tabled.
At council’s June work session, town administrator Lewis
Filling told council members
that the county, not the town,
would be enforcing animal ordinances.
Filling distributed copies of a
county memo on the Middlesex
nuisance animal ordinance and
enforcement procedure. It notes
that animal control officers
cannot take action unless they
witness a violation.
However, citizens can take
action to remedy animal problems, according to the memo.
“First, talk to the owners of the
animal. They may not realize
the animal is creating a problem,” states the memo.
If talking to the owners is not
successful, the citizen can sign
a “nuisance animal complaint
form.” This will allow an animal
control officer to contact the
owners, discuss the problem,
and possibly correct the problem, states the county memo.
If all else fails, the person
complaining can swear out a
warrant at the magistrate’s office
and take the dog owner to court.
Violations are punishable by a
$250 fine.
The county procedure for dog
complaints is similar to the town
procedure in that a written complaint form must be signed.
Middlesex Animal Control
can be contacted at 758-2779.

Town fireworks

To the Editor:
July 4th is a time for celebration and fireworks. People love
the 15 minutes of fun watching
the fireworks, but what about
the danger to the people and
homes that sit in their path?
The photo above accompanying this letter shows the result
of a firework that went astray in
the Urbanna Harbour subdivision on July 4th. This burn was
one of two that occurred on
this property. If the cinders had
hit the roofs, our homes would
have burned down.
It is time for Urbanna to
move the fireworks away from
the woods of Rosegill and the
homes of Urbanna Harbour. If
the winds this year had been
from the north, there would
have been more damage. The
dry conditions of this year and
many years in the recent past
are endangering the homes and
woods adjoining them.
Fireworks could still be
located in a more remote area
of Rosegill and enjoyed by all.

Menhaden to
be discussed
The first meeting of the
informal menhaden working
group co-chaired by Senators
Ralph S. Northam (D-Norfolk) and Richard H. Stuart
(R-Westmoreland) will be at
1 p.m. on Thursday, July 15,
at the headquarters of the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC) in Newport
News.
The meeting will feature
presentations from resource
managers with VMRC and the
Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, and will be
open to the public.
Subsequent meetings will
take place on September 23 in
Fredericksburg and November
10 in Richmond.
Omega Protein, Inc., the
Virginia Institute of Marine
Science, and the Chesapeake
Bay Foundation have been
invited to present to the group
at those meetings.
Menhaden are a filter feeding fish that inhabit U.S.
coastal waters from Maine
to the Gulf of Mexico. They
are important commercially,
and are a key component to
the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. Currently menhaden are
the only marine species managed by the Virginia General Assembly, rather than
by VMRC. Senator Northam
announced the formation of
the informal menhaden working group, designed to improve
understanding of this fishery
amongst legislators and the
public, on June 15.

s !CCEPTED A BID FROM
PAPCO of $2.029 per gallon
for heating oil for the 201011 fiscal year (FY11). School
officials had some reservations
because PAPCO is not a local
firm. However, school officials
indicated the savings was too
significant not to accept PAPCO’s bid. PAPCO is headquartered in Virginia Beach.
s ,EARNED THAT FOR A SECOND
year in a row, the school budget
was balanced at the end of
the fiscal year without having
to request more funds from
county supervisors. In some
recent years, the cost of fuel
and electricity for the schools
has been so high that school
officials have had to request
more funds.
Faulty transformer causes fire
Electricity started a fire that burned up an inoperable car on Saturday about 11 a.m. in
the Hardyville area. The victim was home and heard a pop and saw fire at the base of a
utility pole, said Jimmy Walden, chief of the Lower Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department
of Deltaville, which responded with three trucks. The Middlesex County Volunteer Rescue
Squad of Deltaville also responded in case it was needed. Above, a fireman extinguishes the

Food Bank Director
Rappahannock Civic Club
In the month of June,
the “big” food banks at the
Rappahannock Civic Club
on Route 33 between Locust
Hill and Hartfield served 357
people, and 233 more people
picked up vegetables, bread and
fruits on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays.
We continue to receive some
donations of food and money.
We would like to acknowledge
the following donors: Capital Foods, Mike Gross, Marilyn Olson, Love Class at Zoar
Church, Mr. Brownley and
others who have shared their
gardens with us, and those who
dropped off plastic bags. We
would not be able to bag up the
food for the boxes that we give
out at food bank time without
these bags.
The Middlesex County Food
Bank is having a yard sale on
July 24-25 to raise money for
the food bank. We need donations of all kinds of gently used
items for our sale, so please go
through your garages, homes
and closets to see what you
can donate to this worthwhile
cause. Thanks to Mrs. Betty
Walker, who gave us a lot of
things to start our yard sale collection.
Thanks to Cliff Wood who so
generously offered to repair our
air conditioner again (it’s so old
it should be an antique). Without it, bingo would be impossible and so would the fruits,
veggies and bread we store.
A belated happy July 4th to
you all, especially our military
service personnel and vets who
fight so hard to make sure we
can be free to celebrate this and
all holidays.
You can contact the food
bank at 804-815-8899 to donate
any items.
Our usual thanks to our partner, Saluda Food Lion, our
loyal bingo players, and our
club members who do such a
great job for the food bank and
for the people in our community.

the water with respect because
it can kill you.
“What made this so hard
were the children,” said Ogle.
“It’s really hard when you are
dealing with children and they
are hurting. Then you have the
loss of a 25-year-old.”
Ogle paused and shook his
head. “He hit that marker dead
center. Think of the odds of
that happening. What a horrible, unlucky night!”
Update
On Wednesday morning, Bull
reported that VMRC agents
were scheduled to interview
the owner of Charlie’s Tiki Bar
and Grill at Windmill Point and
acquire sales receipts to determine what alcoholic beverages
the group on the boat may have
purchased there.
Through a search warrant,
VMRC is obtaining the blood
alcohol results from the hospital where boat operator Steven
Nixon is a patient. His blood is
being examined to determine
if he was impaired by alcohol,
said Bull.
Bull said he hopes the state
medical examiner can give
“at least” a tentative cause for
Amanda Brady’s death, and
VMRC officers are attempting
to interview those on the boat
who were not interviewed earlier.
As of 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Bull did not have an update
on the medical condition of
those injured in the crash.
Fishing Bay Yacht Club and
Stingray Harbour Yacht Club,
co-hosts of the Southern Chesapeake Leukemia Cup Regatta,
are preparing for the grand
finale of the 2010 Leukemia
Cup series of events that takes
place over the weekend of July
9-11 in Deltaville.
The Leukemia Cup Auction is scheduled for Friday
evening, July 9, at the Stingray Harbour Yacht Club at the
Stingray Harbor Marina. Live
music by “Sweet Justice,” crab
cakes, liquid refreshments, and
both a silent and live auction
are on tap again for this marquee event, which the public is
encouraged to attend.
The auction will prelude the
regatta racing activities to be
officiated by Fishing Bay Yacht
Club on Saturday and Sunday,
July 10-11, and the gala on
Saturday evening, July 10, to
be held at nearby Stingray Harbour Yacht Club.
The regatta on July 10-11
will mark the 12th anniversary
of the event and will again offer
exciting races, fun, good food
and entertainment. Leading
up to the regatta, sailors and
their crews raise funds for the
society to compete for prizes
and a “Fantasy Sail” with Gary
Jobson, who is a world class
sailor, television commentator,
and author.
Registration for the regatta is
now available online at www.
fbyc.net. Entries are due before
Thursday, July 8, at 6 p.m.
There will be PHRF Spinnaker
and Non-Spinnaker Divisions,
a J105 Division, a Classic Division for boats designed prior to
1975, and a Cruising Division
for a more casual racing format.
Skippers don’t even need an
official PHRF rating to participate in the Classic and Cruising
divisions. Just supply a boat’s
specifications, and a temporary
rating will be assigned for the
series. It’s easy to do, and it’s
all online at www.fbyc.net.
The Southern Chesapeake
Leukemia Cup Regatta is
approaching the milestone
number of $2 million raised for
The Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society since the regatta’s
inception, and is typically honored as one of the top Leukemia Cup fundraisers in the
nation each year. “The society
is appreciative for the regatta
participants, contributors, volunteers and especially the many
sponsors who have made this
event so successful in the past,”
said a regatta spokesperson.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society is grateful for the support of SunTrust Bank which
repeats as a presenting sponsor
for the 2010 regatta.
All proceeds from Regatta
events assist the Society in
its mission to cure leukemia,
lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease
and myeloma and improve the
quality of life of patients and
their families.
For more information on the
Leukemia Cup Regatta activities, contact Laura Boone,
campaign coordinator, at 804627-0400, ext. 24, or laura.

July 8, 2010 • Southside Sentinel • Urbanna, Va.• A5
at the library
by Sherry B. Inabinet
Executive Director
I hope you had a memorable and enjoyable
4th of July. As I sat on the basketball court in
Mathews County watching the fireworks explode
over my head into millions of points of light, it
occurred to me that more men and women had
died for my freedom than the total of all those
colorful points. It was an overwhelming thought that brought tears to
my eyes.
Fireworks have always been
special to me. It just would
not be July 4th without them.
One of the highlights of my
youth was the annual July 4th
carnival and fireworks display in
my hometown of Martin, Tennessee. One year I agreed to go to Reelfoot Lake with my grandparents and there were
no fireworks—just a few firecrackers that I had.
Although we made our traditional banana ice
cream, it was just not the 4th without fireworks.
We thank you for your early response to our
Annual Fund Drive. In the first week, thanks
to your generosity, we have raised about one
fourth of our goal. In this year of decreases in
state funding and level funding from the county,
your gifts will allow us to keep both branches
open, purchase new books, and provide internet
services.
Our children’s programs at the library have
a pirate theme this week. This Friday the phenomenal ventriloquist Ty-Rone and his friends
Miss Taylor, Mr. Glenn exchange wedding vows
will perform for children and their caregivers at
the YMCA. If you could bring your children to
only one program, this would be our pick. I have
known Tyrone for almost 20 years. Based on his
personal childhood experiences, Tyrone’s show
always promotes reading, libraries and wholesome values. The program is at 2 p.m. and is
open to the public. For more information, please
refer to the article on page A6 in this
issue of the Sentinel.
Next week’s theme for our
various age groups will be “A
Day at the Bay—Exploring
the Chesapeake Bay.” Rising
K-Grade 1 will meet on Mondays in Urbanna at 10:30 a.m.
and in Deltaville at 1:30 p.m.
Rising grades 2-3 will meet on
Tuesdays in Urbanna at 10:30 a.m. and
in Deltaville at 1:30 p.m. Rising grades 4-5 will
meet on Thursdays in Urbanna at 10:30 a.m. and
in Deltaville at 1:30 p.m. Preschoolers ages 2-4
will meet in Urbanna on Wednesdays at 10:30
a.m. Their program may not follow the weekly
theme.
The above small group times will remain
consistent through the week of August 9. Also,
all Friday programs at the YMCA will be at 2
p.m. through August 13.
Summer reading is for everyone. We see an
increased number of teens and adults using
the library during the lazy, hazy, crazy days of
summer. Why don’t you join them!
Happy reading!

‘Ty-Rone’ to entertain Friday
The Summer Reading Club
program is off to a great start
at the Middlesex County Public
Library. The theme this summer
is “Make a Splash! Dive Into
Books!” During the first week,
children participated in eight
programs at Urbanna Branch,
Deltaville Branch and the
Middlesex YMCA. They sang
songs, heard stories about whales
and other sea creatures, watched
videos of whales and listened to
their songs, and made coral reef
murals and sand paintings.
This week the library is sponsoring a very special program.

Kiwanian Jack Tarran presents teacher Chris DiFulvio with
a $1,250 donation for the “Reading and Wellness” program
as club president Dick Goyne looks on. DiFulvio recently
joined the Kiwanis Club.
by Bill Shuman
The Kiwanis Club of
Middlesex recently donated
$1,250 to help start a new
program at St. Clare Walker
Middle School called “Reading
and Wellness.” Chris DiFulvio, a teacher at the high school
and director of the program,
accepted the donation.
The program began June 21.
I attended one of the classes
and observed the students at
work in the classroom. The
thing that enlightened me
the most was not only Chris’s
positive attitude, but that
two students from Middlesex
High School had volunteered
to assist him. Chris told me
there were other students
who also will help with the
program throughout
the
summer.
The Reading and Wellness
program focuses on closing the
achievement gap in reading,
which usually occurs over the
summer when students do not
read enough.
The program lasts about
three hours. The first two hours
are spent on reading and the
last hour is spent on characterbuilding activities. The program serves students who will
attend St. Clare Walker this
coming school year.
Most of the Kiwanis donation will be used to cover transportation costs.

designed to stir memories
concerning what our great
nation stands for and the

Donk’s spokesperson.
In addition, the second
half of the show will feature
the husband-and-wife team,
Jim and Joell Kepka, in concert. A preview of their show
includes oldies and goodies
as well as new songs.
Both Jim and Joell Kepka

Heritage Day is but a pleasant
memory. The vendors did well
financially. The Pet Parade and
the Children’s Parade started a
day of fun and food. There were
yard sales and food sales up and
down and later in the day there
was a parade. Who doesn’t
love a parade? Many thanks to
Chris Scherrer and Bob Walker
and all who worked to make it
fun for so many, such as Elizabeth Johnson and her two sons
who helped with the Children’s
Parade. Theresa Linn enjoyed
having Stacey Kearny and her
sons judge the Pet Parade.
Fireworks are what the 4th of
July is all about and Deltaville
did not let us down. Thanks to
the firemen who set them off.
It was just awesome to sit on
Keaton Garber’s pier and be
surrounded by fireworks from
as far away as the Eastern Shore
and Yorktown. The houses on
Gwynn’s Island, where the
Revolution actually ended, were
all lit and there were a few fireworks seen over there.
Sunday was really the 4th
and Yorktown put on a fireworks show that lasted over 45
minutes. Sitting by the water
and watching the display and
hearing the booms gave the
imagination free rein. Were
the Indians afraid or did they
even understand what was happening? The only way to show
our gratitude to the men and
women who fought and gave
their lives for our freedom is to
continue our democracy.
Nine of the 56 men who
signed the Declaration of Inde-
pendence fought and died from
wounds or hardships of the
Revolutionary War. Five signers were captured by the British
as traitors, and tortured before
they died. Thomas Nelson Jr.
noted that General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson
home for his headquarters. He
urged General Washington to
open fire and the home was
destroyed. Many died broke.
The signers pledged their lives,
fortunes and their sacred honor
for our country. The flag of the
United States is but a symbol of
the lives given for our country.
Happy birthday to Heidi
Ruse and Vaughan Crittenden
who will celebrate their birthday tomorrow. The LMVFD
Auxiliary
meets
tonight.
Should you want your birthday
or club meeting on the calendar, call Theresa Linn at 7766992. Leave a message if there
is no answer, your call will be
returned.
A friend, Tom Chillemi, who
is getting up in age, recently
saw two young boys trying to
do “wheelies” on their bicycles.
They couldn’t quite get the
hang of making the bike come
up and go forward on the back
wheel. After watching for a few
minutes, Tom walked over and
said, “Let me have your bike
and I will show you how to
do it.” He got on the bike and
performed a really spectacular
“wheelie” that even surprised
him. One of the kids said, “The
old man did it.”

freedom can keep us free.”—

CBF needs volunteer oyster
gardeners for restoration efforts
How-to seminar
set for July 17
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) seeks volunteer
oyster gardeners to grow oysters at docks or marina slips,
and return them next year for
planting on sanctuary oyster
reefs in Northern Neck waterways.
CBF staff will train participants at an oyster gardening
seminar from 9 to 10 a.m.,
Saturday, July 17, at Bevans
Oyster Company in Kinsale.
A $30 donation covers the cost
of 1,000 native baby oysters
(seed), and includes membership in CBF. To register, e-mail
[email protected] or call
757-622-1964.
Current oyster gardeners can
also drop off their grown oysters and pick up new seed at the
same time. Advanced registration is necessary for new and
returning oyster gardeners.
The next CBF oyster gardening workshop on the Northern
Neck will be held September
18 in Irvington.
Oyster populations have
declined drastically over the
past decades, and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, a nonprofit organization, is working
to restore them. One way is by
training volunteer oyster gardeners throughout southeastern Virginia to nurture baby
oysters for a year until they are
big enough to be planted on
sanctuary reefs. CBF currently
has more than 200 Virginia
volunteers who raise oysters
for restoration purposes. Since
1996, CBF and its partners
have grown or transplanted
nearly 10 million oysters and
have helped build or restock
33 reefs.
Oysters filter algae caused by
nutrient pollution—the biggest
problem facing the Bay and its
waterways. One single oyster
can filter 50 gallons of polluted
water per day. Oysters also
provide food for underwater
species and create vibrant reef
habitat. By becoming an oyster
gardener, residents can have a
direct, positive impact on local
water quality.

Deltaville Maritime Museum
receives “Gateway” designation
Deltaville Maritime Museum
and Holly Point Nature Park
have been awarded their designation as a member of the
National Park Service’s Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network.
This network affiliates the
museum and park with 160
other parks, exhibits and wildlife refuges across the Eastern
Seaboard and Chesapeake Bay
Watershed.
This designation is a huge
step in the progress of the
museum toward national recognition.
To be a member, each Gateway partner must have water
access to the Bay and its tributaries. It must also meet other
strict criteria as far as availability, open hours, mission, operating board structure and on-site
facilities. The Deltaville Maritime Park has met or exceeded
all of the required benchmarks.
The Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails Network is administered through
the National Park Service’s
Chesapeake Bay Office. The
Chesapeake Bay Office also
administers the Captain John
Smith Chesapeake National
Historic Trail and the StarSpangled Banner National Historic Trail. For a full list of the
Gateway sites, visit www.baygateways.net/aboutthenetwork.
cfm.
The stated mission of the
Gateway network is to establish
a partnership system of parks,
refuges, museums, historic
sites and water trails spanning
the Bay watershed. The Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network
shall help the American public
access, enjoy, understand and
appreciate the natural, cultural, historic and recreational
resources and values of the
Chesapeake and its rivers and
engage in their stewardship.
This network connects the
public with the Chesapeake
Bay and its rivers through
exceptional parks, wildlife refuges, museums, sailing ships,
historic communities, trails
and more. Gateways are the
special places where one can
experience the authentic Chesapeake. More than 160 special
places for experiencing the
Chesapeake Bay have joined
the Chesapeake Bay Gateways

We have some sincere words
of appreciation to express this
week. The preteen campers
from the Middlesex YMCA in
Hartfield have been coming to
The Cryer Center to volunteer
their services. Thank you all so
very much.
Also, the United Methodist Church of Virginia
Rappahannock District Youth
Choir spent a week working at
the homes of the elderly cleaning up yards and doing various
chores. What a great way to help
your community. Thank you.
The Cryer Center has drawn
many people interested in helping others. It is at a centralized
location and has become a convenient resource for those who
may need a helping hand. We
are very active. It would be most
appreciated if new volunteers
could come forward to help with
the food distribution and bagging on the fourth Tuesday of
the month. The program is from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Any amount
of time within that framework
that you could donate would be
wonderful.
On the second Tuesday of the
month, help is needed to unload
the mobile unit that comes to the
center with food. The unloading
is done from 9 to 10 a.m. From
10 a.m. to noon, the food is dispersed to clients and loaded into
their vehicles.
If anyone has time to spend
at the desk—answering phones
and speaking with clients,
help is needed 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Monday through Friday, or 1 to
5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Frequently our women volunteers do not have the strength
to help unload trucks coming in
with donations for the Furniture
Barn. If any of you gentlemen
out there would like to get some
exercise, we can assist you.
Please call 758-2044.
