Oil leak leads
to blaze at
Saluda home

A fire that started when a
lawn mower cut a heating oil
tank line consumed the home
of Jesse and Dorothy Scott of
Saluda Monday afternoon, said
Joe Moschetti, assistant chief
of the Middlesex Volunteer
Fire Department in Urbanna.
Moschetti said fuel oil shot
out of the severed oil line from
the above-ground tank and
sprayed on the mower’s hot
engine, which ignited the fire.
Lisa Banks of Remlik was
driving by the tidy, white-andgreen home on Route 33 about
a half mile east of Saluda and
saw Mr. Scott trying to put out
the flames with a water hose.
Banks stopped and tried to
assist Mr. Scott.
When the oil tank got hot,
Banks said they both cleared
away. “Once that blew, there
was nothing we could do,” she
said.
Two oil tanks exploded,
fueling the 2:45 p.m. fire. No
one was injured.
When firefighters arrived the
entire east side of the old home
was in flames that reached several feet into the yard. Clouds
of thick black smoke could be
The home of John and Patricia Willis on Dragon Road at
Church View was destroyed by
fire at 8:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec.
14, reported George Longest,
chief of the Upper Middlesex
Volunteer Fire Department of
Water View.
Longest said when firemen arrived on the scene the
one-story home was “fully
involved.” Fire departments
from Urbanna, Hartfield and
Essex also responded to the
blaze.
“The fire was knocked down
after Virginia Power personnel
secured the live wires on the
ground,” said Longest.
Tanker trucks refilled at the
Boy Scout Camp at Bayport
near Jamaica.
The Central Middlesex Volunteer Rescue Squad attended
to the occupants, but no major
injuries were reported. The
American Red Cross was contacted and arrangements were
made to place the family in a
local hotel.
The home and contents were
a total loss, said Longest.

seen for miles.
The owners, comforted by
friends, watched as firefighters used everything they had
to try to stop the blaze from
advancing to other parts of the
house.
Even after 30 minutes of
spraying water from three
water lines, the flames continued to eat into the second floor
and attic.
Deer crashes, then dashes
through Urbanna home
by Tom Chillemi
A deer jumped through a casement
window into Dennis and Pat Durrette’s
home in Urbanna on Friday, Dec. 12, and
left a trail of destruction before crashing out
of the house through another two-foot-wide
window.
Mr. Durrette was in the bedroom when the
home invasion started about 9:15 a.m. He
heard crashing in the house. “The deer was
jumping over furniture, crashing into windows,” he said.
When he opened the bedroom door and
went out a few steps, he was confronted by
the startled and aggressive young buck with
six-inch horns. “He and I eyeballed each
other for a second, and he put his head down
and charged me,” said Mr. Durrette.
Mr. Durrette retreated and slammed the
bedroom’s French doors that have several
panes of glass. “I had to hold the bedroom
doors shut when he was butting it; he was
trying to get into the bedroom. He scared me
and had my adrenaline pumping,” said Mr.
Durrette.
Trapped in an alien environment, the
scared deer butted the bedroom doors about
six times, said Mr. Durrette. “I tried to scare
him off and [eventually] I got back out to
open the sliding (glass) door to hopefully let
him out of the house.
“He was pretty quiet,” said Mr. Durrette.
“I was tiptoeing through the house. I thought
he had exited.”
However, the injured deer was hiding in a
bathroom and had bumped the door shut.
When Mr. Durrette jiggled the bathroom
knob, the deer started moving again. “That’s
when I called animal control, but by the time
I came back he had crashed out the bathroom window.”
The bloody bathroom resembled a crime
scene. Blood splattered slats from the window’s venetian blinds lay in the yard.
Only an hour before the deer had invaded
the home, Mr. Durrette had put the family’s
40-pound dog in his crate. “If the dog had
been chasing the animal around the house,
the dog probably wouldn’t be here and the
place would have been torn up a lot worse.”
It took about 10 minutes for the deer to
trash their house. “The house is like a war
zone,” said Mr. Durrette. Fortunately, the
deer did not go into the den where a large
Christmas tree remained intact.
Middlesex Animal Control Officer Ricky
Warren responded to the call at the end of
Howard Street. Warren said he searched the
surrounding area for the injured deer, but it
was not found.
Warren noted it is deer season and the buck
could have been running away from a threat
when it bolted into the residential area.
The deer may have swum across Perkins
Creek, said Mr. Durrette.
Two firefighters moved from the fire truck air horn.

The proposed treatment plant
would release treated sewage
wastewater from residential
and small business areas at a
rate of 39,900 gallons per day
into an unnamed tributary of
Urbanna Creek.
The treatment plant would
be located on the north side
of Route 33, about a half mile
from the courthouse. The
county has purchased about 30
acres for the facility.
The public may review the
draft permit and application at
the DEQ office in Glen Allen

To the Editor:
On behalf of the Bay Aging
Board of Directors and staff, I
want to extend our thanks and
deepest appreciation to all the
people who give so much of
their time, talents and funds to
help people have a chance at
living a better, healthier life.
Every minute and every
dollar invested in helping
others reaps rewards many
times over. People are not only
grateful for a hot meal, they
especially appreciate the care
and concern that our special
volunteers bring with them.
And what about all those
phone calls that are made to
people who are alone and need
some reassurance that someone is looking out for their
well-being? That is very special indeed.
Our volunteer based nonemergency medical transportation service has been invaluable
to those who are frail and for
one reason or another don’t
have access to transportation.
Hundreds of miles have been
logged by caring people who
volunteer their vehicles, time
and gas to carry people to
physician’s offices and clinics
for cancer and dialysis treatments throughout the Middle
Peninsula, Northern Neck,
Williamsburg, Newport News
and Richmond.
Our donors are an essential part of Bay Aging. What
would we do without our
donors? These special people
and groups donate on a regular
basis, helping Bay Aging bring

people with disabilities, their

Peninsula and Northern Neck.
As with many non-profits,
Bay Aging is once again fighting to hold on to its state funding. Bay Aging has implored
all local government officials
and elected officials to call
upon the Governor to restore
Bay Aging’s funding for core
services. Bay Aging is one of
two Area Agencies on Aging in
the Commonwealth of Virginia
whose core services are being
cut. Presently, the Governor’s
plan is to reduce Bay Aging’s
appropriations for core services by $18,961, which
would eliminate 6,320 meals
through Meals on Wheels and
other essential services such
as senior transportation, home
care and more; and appropriations for adult day health
services (adult day care) by
$29,779, which would mean a
loss of 662 days of service for
the 24-hour a day caregivers
who want to avoid costly and
premature institutionalization
of their loved ones. Again, I
ask, “What would we do without our donors?”
All is not gloomy, however,
as long as we continue to
receive the type of steadfast
support we’ve been extremely
fortunate to have over the years.
A mere “thank you” doesn’t
seem to be fitting enough, but
I believe our work shows to
all that we care and want to
make a positive difference in
people’s lives, hence our deep
appreciation for all that you do
to help us along the way.
We wish you and yours a
wonderful Christmas holiday and a happy, healthy New
Year.

To the Editor:
On Saturday I traveled to
Washington, D.C., to pay my
respects to my grandfather and
grandmother who are buried
in Arlington Cemetery. The
air was crisp and the day was
beautiful; we visited the Tomb
of the Unknown Solider and
expressed our thanks to some
volunteers from the Maine
wreath company that provides
beautiful wreaths for different sections of the cemetery.
The sight of those white grave
markers with green wreaths
decorated with only a beautiful red bow was breathtaking
to see.
After leaving the cemetery
we finished the day with some
Christmas shopping at a nearby
mall. After a long day driving in
a fast restless place, I was never

First, I would like to thank
the Fleets for the simple country scene that is prepared for

that you love them too. Take

covered with twinkling lights,
and attend a Christmas church

To the Editor:
When the Korean War ended,
the enemy never returned or
accounted for over 8,000 of our
servicemen. They died in their
hands. That was over 50 years
ago.
Since that time, DNA has
been perfected and they also
are recovering remains in North
Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains
to their proper families. DNA
samples have been obtained
from most of the families of
these missing soldiers. For various reasons, some families have
not been located.
There are 81 families in Virginia that have not been located.
There is one family from
Middlesex County that has not
been located. We are searching for the family of Clarence
Elmer Watson, born December
6, 1925, and lost November 28,
1950 (POW).
When the remains are recovered and identified, they will
be returned to the family for
proper burial. I am just an old
(76 years) combat veteran out
of the Korean War and thankful
that I did return. I consider this a
very noble cause and I hope you
can help in some way to find
this family.
For more information on the
project, you may go to www.
jpac.pacom.mil. My part in
the program is to match the
lost families with the proper
agency.
I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

To the Editor:
I want to take this time to
thank all of the many people
who reached out to help my
son and me after our house fire
on November 24. This is a devastating situation that couldn’t
have happened at a worse time,
but the kindness and generosity of the folks in Urbanna and
Middlesex have made it bearable.
I can’t possibly thank you
individually for stopping by and
offering your warm thoughts,
prayers, clothes, money and
food. You’ve touched our lives
and we will always remember
your kindness.
Thank you to the Urbanna,
Deltaville and Water View fire
departments; even though my
house couldn’t have been saved,
I appreciate your hard work in
making sure it didn’t spread to
adjoining property owners.
A big thank-you to Billy and

your love and compassion to us
since the day we moved in has
been a comfort to both Bryce

neighbor, and you will always

for a tour of Jackson Creek.
And what a moon was provided
for all that night.
There was the “Iva W.” lit

for this event. Seeing so many
smiling faces is a joy.
The winner of the best-decorated house on Jackson Creek

to all the assistants at the docks
who helped out.
Fred Crittenden kindly lends
his hay wagons and drivers
annually, along with Fleet

luminaries.
Thanks to all. We can’t do

Give the gift of a
second chance
To the Editor:
We just adopted two large
mixed-breed dogs that had
been turned into the Middlesex
Animal Shelter together. When
we arrived at the shelter we
found it very clean. The animals were very well cared for
and seemed secure, warm and
quite content.
While we were there, a couple
came with two small children
and donated dog food. A lady
arrived and adopted a large dog
she had spent time bonding
with over a period of time.
Ricky Warren and Mike
Goodwin of Middlesex Animal
Control do a great job in maintaining our animal control program and they have a very kind
kennel worker who cares for
the animals. Thanks Middlesex
County Board of Supervisors
for supporting such a wonderful facility and program.
The shelter can always use
towels, blankets, dog collars,
leashes, dog food or treats. They
also help find homes for animals through the animal league.
Foster care is always needed for
animals when the kennels are
full. Visits to the kennel can
comfort pets who have to be
placed due to circumstances
beyond their control.
When we brought our new
dogs home the first night the cat
looked at them in total shock
and sat on his step meowing
with displeasure. The dogs
ignored the scene! The second
night the cat came and sat in
the middle of the dogs’ bed and
they just stared at the cat. The
third night the dogs sat side by
side on the cat’s step. Needless
to say, everything is fine now.
If you have room in your
heart and home adopt a pet or
make a donation. What you
consider to be a small thing can
make a huge difference for life
or death for our county’s “least
wanted”—give the gift of a
second chance.

Kelly House
keeps Deltaville
history alive
To the Editor:
Congratulations to Diane and
Page Basheer for their magnificent reconstruction of the Kelly
House in downtown Deltaville.
For years a dying shell, the
Kelly House is now a warm and
comfortable home, adding new
life to the whole area.
Some might wonder at the
extraordinary amount of time
and money spent to restore just
one house. So much more has
been animated by the rebirth of
this house.
Hundreds of visitors came to
the open house last Saturday.
The old house was humming
with dozens of conversations
about Deltaville’s past-her history. Long forgotten memories
resurfaced and were shared
with neighbors and visitors.
Pride of family, pride of
place are so important to ensuring that the American dream
goes forward to the generations
to follow.
Opening of the Kelly House
is just the positive effort
Deltaville needs to bring and
keep her history alive.

Free Health
Clinic needs
operating funds
To the Editor:
The Northern Neck Free
Health Clinic has faced challenges before. In its 15 years
of service to the uninsured
working poor, there have been
times when its very existence
has seemed almost a miracle.
The clinic’s endurance in the
wake of recent economic turbulence has been due, in large
part, to the success of the
Endowment Challenge, a success that speaks to the generosity and vision of the people
in this community.
The clinic now has roots.
But roots need water in order
to survive, and over the past
six months, with so much
energy focused on the future
and the endowment, the operating budget has taken a hit.
The clinic is in need of funds
in order to sustain its day-today functions. As 2008 comes
to a close, it must call upon
the community once again to
ensure that quality healthcare
for those who need it most can
continue without interruption.
The clinic has provided
quality dental, medical and
pharmaceutical services to
over 5,600 patients. Volunteers
are the backbone of this organization, and with very limited
state funds, the main sources
of income are found through
private donations and grants.
Grants provide seed money
for programs that must then be
sustained through the efforts
of the community.
Not once, in 15 years, has
a program been canceled due
to lack of funding. And our
most vulnerable neighbors, the
patients who come to the clinic
with medical needs that would
otherwise go untreated, rely on
these services as they weather
their own daily storms. It takes
$1,067,975 per year to sustain
the Northern Neck Free Health
Clinic. At press time, there is
a need for $320,000 in order
to break even. One donated
dollar provides $5 worth of
healthcare. And a healthy community benefits all of us.
Please give generously this
holiday season. For more information, or to make a donation,
contact the clinic at (804)
435-0575. You can drop in at
51 William B. Graham Court,
or send donations to P.O. Box
1694, Kilmarnock, VA 22482.

To the Editor:
On behalf of the Urbanna
Christmas House Tour Committee we wish to thank the choir
of Middlesex High School,
under the direction of Jason
Perry, for volunteering its time
to perform on Dec. 7. As visitors strolled through the beautiful designer-decorated rooms at
Rosegill, the marvelous voices
of the Middlesex High School
Choir could be heard singing
traditional Christmas carols.
The music added to the festive holiday sights and sounds
of this year’s theme—”It’s a
Wonderful Life—Christmas in
Historic Urbanna.” If you ever
have an opportunity to see the
MHS Choir, you are in for an
Eastern Virginia Bankshares

“Eastern Virginia Bankshares
continues to be well capitalized
and is pleased that as a result
of its strength, it qualified for
the Treasury’s voluntary Capital Purchase Program,” said a
company spokesperson. “The
company applauds the U.S.
Treasury for taking action to
restore confidence in the financial markets and national economy and increasing liquidity
in the economy by investing in
strong financial institutions.
“The board and management support participation in
the TARP program, as it serves
our customers, communities
and shareholders in a variety of
ways,” continued the spokesperson. “It provides access to
low-cost capital, enables the
company’s banking subsidiary
to respond to the lending community, and answers the call
from our government to make
a commitment to join forces
with other strong financial
institutions to jump-start our
economy. As economists forecast a challenging economy
in the upcoming months, we
believe that our communities’
lending needs can be met and
that our entire franchise is well
served by opting into the TARP
program.”
In conjunction with TARP,
EVBS is also participating
in the Temporary Liquidity
Guarantee Program administered under the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. Under
this program, EVBS’s banking
subsidiary provides full coverage of non-interest-bearing
deposit transaction accounts,
regardless of dollar amount.
then a new insurance territory
would be created and everyone’s rates would increase to
cover the cost.”
Culley also noted that the
private billing has been contested in Pennsylvania.
The board voted unanimously not to approve the billing proposal. “I understand
that our fire departments need
all the financial help they can
get,” said board chairman Kenneth W. Williams, “however,
if insurance won’t cover the
billing, it will probably fall to
the private individuals who are
involved in the accident. Some
of these people might not be
able to afford to pay.”

A Christchurch School student was killed Friday night in
a one-vehicle accident on Bluff
Point Road about a half-mile
west of Prentice Creek Road
in Northumberland County.
Ryan Mitchell Wilcox, 17, of
Kilmarnock was pronounced
dead at the scene. Virginia
State Police said the accident
occurred around 9 p.m. A
preliminary investigation by
police found that Wilcox was
traveling east on Bluff Point
Road when he lost control of
his 1998 GMC Sierra pickup
and swerved off the road and
hit a tree. He was not wearing
a seatbelt, according to police.
“The vehicle appeared to
swerve to the right side of
the road. It clipped a mailbox
and then veered back across
the roadway and went off the
left side of the road and hit
the tree,” said Trooper Troy
Smith.
The son of Kyle and Kenneth Bransford of Kilmarnock,
Wilcox was a junior at
Christchurch
School
in
Christchurch.
The accident remains under
investigation.

Dog-cat kennel, ceramic shop opens
Jackie Willis has moved her
ceramic shop from Urbanna to
Hardyville and taken over the
operation of “Almost Home
Kennel,” a kennel she says is
“almost like home.”
The businesses are in the
same location on Route 33 at
Hardyville.
Willis’ ceramic shop caters
to customers making and painting their own pottery. “I have a
large selection of utilitarian,
home decor, holiday and justfor-fun items that are ready to
be painted,” she said.
“I also have critters that are
stuffed animals you make yourself,” she said. “For the holidays, I have created critter gift
baskets that include a critter,
stuffing, outfit, birth certificate,
wishing star and instructions so
recipients can build their own
bear or critter.”
She also noted that several
people have pottery left over
from when she was located
in her Urbanna store, and can
pick up the items at her new
location.
Jackie Willis has moved her ceramic shop to Hardyville, and
opened a dog and cat kennel at the same location.
Pet boarding is for indoor
dogs and cats only. Dogs are
let out into a fenced area in the
backyard four times a day, and
stay in roomy kennels, which
are heated and cooled.
The cat room is much like a
converted sun room. The cats
are entertained by watching the
dogs walk and by the feathered
activity at the bird feeders, said
Willis. For further information
on the ceramic shop and kennel,
call Willis at 776-9853.

at the library
by Sherry B. Inabinet
Executive Director
This past Sunday the Middlesex County
Public Library lost a very dedicated board
member and volunteer, Nearly New Thrift Shop
manager Dorothy Kellar. In 1991, along with the
late Judy Rosquist, Dorothy founded and operated the thrift shop. She was serving her
second term on the library board,
and even though she had limited
night vision, Dorothy rarely
missed a meeting. A person
who had always enjoyed reasonably good health, Dorothy
developed one of those hardto-treat cancers, and lived only
about seven months after diagnosis. We shall miss her greatly and
thank her family for sharing her with us for so
many years.
There will be a memorial service for Dorothy. If it is during regular Nearly New hours and
library hours, both will close for the service.
Last week Alison attended “Find It Virginia”
training in Hampton. There are so many new
enhancements, including the ability to be notified at home whenever the current edition of a
favorite magazine, such as “Consumer Reports”
is available online. Alison will explain about the
use of these features in a January column.
Christmas ornaments are flying off our trees
in Urbanna and Deltaville. Thank you for the
purchase of these and other crafted items in
arrival
Deltaville. Each sale benefits the library.
We also thank the numerous people who have
recently sent the library Annual Fund Drive
donations. Like many of you, we are struggling
economically and appreciate each donation. We
appreciate every donation, and all are tax-deductable. When you give to the library you help support literacy and lifelong learning. We are the only
computer available to many residents of
the county. These computers are used
daily to apply for jobs, complete
all sorts of paperwork, obtain
medical information, network
with friends and family, etc.
The nature photography of
Williamsburg resident Felice
Bond continues to be on display
at Deltaville. She has framed and
unframed prints and note cards of her
work on sale there.
We have so many adorable children’s holiday
books. Sometimes taking a few moments to
read to your child during this busy season can
have a wonderful, calming effect. Both of you
will enjoy this special, magical time together.
So, visit the library soon and take some of our
wonderful books home for holiday sharing.
Both branches of the library will be closed
Dec. 24-26 and Dec. 31, and Jan. 1. No library
materials are due on any of those dates. Due to
the damage it causes these items, please do not
return books on tape and CD, videos, or DVDs
via the book drop.
Happy reading!

Railroaders award train set
At its December open house,
the Rappahannock River Railroaders Club presented a
Lionel Polar Express train set
to the winner of a raffle, Larry
Walls of Edgewater, Md. “The
Polar Express will look good
under the Walls’ Christmas
tree,” said a club member.
Also at the open house,
seven trains were running
simultaneously on three layouts in HO, O, and G gauges.
Three of the many visitors
expressed an interest in joining
the club. Their reasons were to
learn more about model railroading, and to have access to
the club’s trackage to run their
own trains.
The club meets monthly on
the second Tuesday at 7 p.m. The
meetings are usually held at club
headquarters on Ball Park Rd. in

held at members’ homes.

Dr. Rich Bagnall named
clinic medical director
The Northern Neck Free
Health Clinic is pleased to
announce that Dr. Richard
Bagnall, a physician at White
Stone Family Practice since
2001, will become the clinic’s
new medical director in January, 2009.
Dr. Bagnall replaces Dr.
Richard N. Baylor Jr., who has
served as medical director in a
volunteer capacity for the past
dozen years. Before that Dr.
Baylor was instrumental in creating the clinic.
Dr. Bagnall will be assisted
by the medical clinic coordinator, others on staff as needed,
and the many volunteer nurses
and doctors who offer their
skills to the clinic’s patients.
“The clinic had been unable
to find a physician or group of
physicians who could take on
the workload on a volunteer
basis,” said executive director
Jean Nelson. “The clinic also
has grown to such an extent that
a full-time physician is pretty
much essential to assure continuity of care. At the same time,
volunteers are also very much
needed, as they are crucial to
maintaining clinic operations.
“We are delighted Dr. Bagnall has accepted this position,”
she added. “He is a highlyrespected physician among
both patients and his peers. He
is a perfect fit, and a strong proponent of the clinic’s mission

to serve those in need.”
Dr. Bagnall has served as
a volunteer physician for the
clinic since moving to the
Northern Neck almost eight
years ago and has been a
member of the clinic’s board of
directors for the past two years,
a position he will relinquish
in order to accept the medical
director’s position.
A 1978 Phi Beta Kappa
graduate of the University of
Virginia in pre-medical studies,
Dr. Bagnall earned his master’s
of divinity at St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore in 1981, and
was ordained to the priesthood
the following year by the Catholic Diocese of Richmond. He
served a number of churches in
Petersburg, Norfolk and Richmond, until 1990.
After leaving active ministry,
he was director of pastoral care
at Charter Westbrook Psychiatric Hospital from 1990 to 1994.
He then returned to his earlier
medical focus and subsequently
earned a medical degree from
the MCV School of Medicine.
Following his internship and
residency, he joined White
Stone Family Practice in 2001.
He lives in White Stone with
his wife, Sharon, and daughter,
Christina.
“I’m very excited to be stepping into this role at the free
clinic at this time,” said Bagnall. “What the clinic offers
to this area is invaluable to
the residents of the Northern
Neck [and Middlesex County]
who have little access to medical care, particularly at a time
when more and more people
are falling into that category.
It is a cause I have been deeply
committed to for many years
and I believe moving in this
direction is the right thing to do
at this time.”

On Sunday evening, Dec. 14,
the Middlesex County Rotary
Club held its annual Christmas
party at the historic home of
Ron and Genie Kauffman on
the banks of the Piankatank
River overlooking the mouth
of Dragon Run. Good fellowship and a nice dinner put the
members in a holiday mood
and capped off the year.
Ron Kauffman related the
legend of the Pipe In Tree,
concerning a peace pipe
that was smoked to seal the
late 17th-century agreement
between Native Americans and
European settlers regarding the
boundary of settlement lands.
The pipe was then placed in a
tree on the property, and a very
old red oak tree (one of the
oldest in Virginia), which still
stands on the property, may be
that tree.
As they have been doing for
several years, the club members each brought a teddy
bear to the party. These were
donated to the Middlesex
County Sheriff’s Office to be
used by deputies to calm small
children in stressful or traumatic situations.

Last weekend was a magical
time on Jackson Creek. The
DCA sponsored the annual
Jackson Creek Christmas Tour.
Fred Crittenden arranged hayrides for everyone to the town
dock where boat captains took
tours up and down the creek.
Children and adults joined in
to make it a lovely evening.
Cookies and cider were served
to those waiting and for those
returning from the cruise. The
older I get the more I enjoy
it. It is just magical and gets
everyone in the mood for
Christmas.
With less than a week left for
Christmas shopping, the stores
are putting their inventory on
sale trying to bring in customers. The recession is putting a
damper on everyone’s spirits.
On the bright side, Christmas this year may be more
like Christmases past. More
thought being put into presents and emphasis on quality
instead of quantity. We will
all have to appreciate what we
have. Families staying home
and enjoying games everyone can play together. The
churches are enjoying a swell
in attendance as the Christian
holiday draws near.
Tuesday was the last day
of shopping for Christmas
Friends. It is really rewarding
to shop for children and adults
who you know will appreciate
what they get. It is a way to
be part of the community and
make a difference. It is really
hard to wrap presents and not
feel the spirit of giving. The
YMCA also has an angel tree
and is collecting food for food
baskets in case you want to
donate.
A friend called from
Williamsburg said she was
sending all of her leftover
Christmas cards to the Veterans Hospital for the patients
there, and calling her friends
to wish them Merry Christmas.
The DCA calendars are
expected to arrive this week.
There will be some extra to
purchase should you wish to
give a gift to a loved one that
they will enjoy all year.
Today you will notice there
is just a name, Lynne, on the
calendar for birthday wishes,
so you will have to wish all
the Lynnes in your life a happy
birthday to get the correct one.
You might ask Jerry McMurtrie if he knows who it is. Felicitations to Christy and Wayne
Holt, who are celebrating
their anniversary today. Happy
birthday to Jenny Crittenden,
Margaret Luck and Barry
Coffman, who will celebrate
birthdays this week. Nola and
Royce Watson are celebrating
their anniversary Sunday as
are Fay and John Koedel.
Christmas music is soothing the Corgyn and long walks
through Holly Park are keeping their energy levels down.
They enjoy sniffing the critter
holes and deer tracks. Margaret and Raymond Benson have
their home decorated with an
outside tree for the critters.

a getting, but a being and a
becoming.”

RW-C employees recognized
for professional achievements
Five employees of Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury in
Irvington have achieved distinctions that reflect the retirement
community’s commitment to
the highest standards in senior
living.
“We believe it’s important to
support professional development,” said President and CEO
Stuart A. Bunting. “Ongoing education is what allows us to provide high-quality services across
the entire spectrum of continuing
care, and to active, independent
residents as well as those who
require more assistance.”
Jamie Grulkowski, LPN, health
center care plan coordinator, has
earned the Resident Assessment
Coordinator-Certified credential
from the American Association
of Nurse Assessment Coordinators. Few care planners at the
facility level have achieved this
level of continuing education.
Grulkowski’s achievement is the
culmination of 10 intensive training courses on long-term care
nursing topics and the successful completion of a written exam
with a score of 80% or better.
She has worked at RW-C for
nine years and lives in Lancaster
County.
Andrea Jennings, RN, director
of nursing in the health center,
is one of 30 fellows admitted to
the Nurse Leadership Institute
of Central Virginia’s 2008-09
class. The year-long educational
program for nurse managers
is coordinated by the Virginia
Partnership for Nursing, the
Virginia Commonwealth University School of Nursing, the
Virginia Nurses Association and
the Virginia Association of Nurse
Executives. Jennings will be
awarded credits from the VCU
School of Nursing upon completion of her fellowship. A resident
of Reedville, she has worked at
RW-C since 2005.
Shelia Wright, assisted living
manager, has been licensed as an
assisted living administrator by
the Virginia Board of Long-Term
Care Administrators. Wright is
one of the first 139 candidates to
pass the national assisted living
administrator examination and
qualify for state licensure. She
lives in Lancaster County and has
worked at RW-C for 21 years.
Mary Ann Crocker, vice president of health and wellness, has
been licensed as an assisted living
preceptor by the Virginia Board of
Long-Term Care Administrators.
She is one of only 39 individuals in the state who are qualified
to provide the hands-on training
that is required for licensure as
an assisted living administrator.
Crocker also is a licensed nursing
home administrator in Virginia,
Maryland and North Carolina; a
licensed nursing home preceptor; and a licensed attorney. She
lives in Warsaw and has worked
at RW-C since 2005.
CEO and president Stuart A.
Bunting also was recognized
recently for leadership in senior
living. He was named to the board
of the Virginia Association of
Nonprofit Homes for the Aging,
the organization that educates
and advocates for providers of
mission-driven, quality-focused
housing, healthcare facilities, and
community-based services for
older Virginians. A Gloucester
County resident, Bunting has
served as RW-C president and
CEO since 2004, and has worked
there since 1999.

www.rw-c.org or call 438-4000.

attendance and to the many
businesses who quietly support
the ball, making many gifts to
the community possible.

Queen Jocelyn Maguire Stephens is preparing to preside
over the seasonal festivities
of the 113th Holly Ball, the
Northern Neck’s oldest traditional Yuletide event.
The Holly Ball, originating
in 1895, began operating in
the 1950s as the fund-raising
arm of the Tidewater Foundation. The Tidewater Foundation
anticipates the proceeds of the
2008 Holly Ball will have a farreaching impact on the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula
communities, as it disperses
funds to a diverse group of
their recipients.
As reigning Holly Ball
Queen, Miss Stephens will act
as the official hostess of the
Tidewater Foundation’s gala
fundraiser.
A Stephens family friend,
Delegate Albert Pollard, has
been chosen to serve as the
orator of the 113th Holly Ball.
The Holly Ball will be held
on Saturday, Dec. 27, at the
Indian Creek Yacht and Country Club, beginning at 7 p.m.
The presentation of debutantes
will begin at 8 p.m. with a
grand processional and will
be followed by an oratory and
a figure, or dance pattern, of
colonial origins performed by
the debutantes and their escorts.
At 9 p.m., guests pay tribute to
former debutantes as anticipation builds for the crowning of
the newest queen at 10 p.m. by
Pollard.
Once again, the “Kings of
Swing” will play until 12:30
a.m.
The Holly Ball Committee
wishes that everyone enjoys
the festivities, but reminds
those who will be attending
the event that the committee

Dorothy Dawkins Kellar was
called home on December 14,
2008.
She was born July 8, 1931 to
Raymond and Lilly Dawkins
in Sutter Creek, Calif., where
she spent the first 18 years of
her life. Upon graduation from
high school, Mrs. Kellar came
across the country to marry the
love of her life Paul F. Kellar
of Jamaica where she spent the
remainder of her years.
Mrs. Kellar was a charter member of the Central
Middlesex Volunteer Rescue
Squad, a member of the board
of directors of the Middlesex
County Public Library, active
member of Urbanna United
Methodist Church for many
years, and most recently Forest
Chapel United Methodist
Church.
She drove a school bus for
the Middlesex County Public
Schools for 23 years before
retiring to take care of her
ailing husband. Most recently,
Mrs. Kellar was a most diligent
volunteer for the Nearly New
Thrift Shop in Urbanna, where
all proceeds fund the Middlesex
County Public Library.
As a young girl, Mrs. Kellar
traveled over most of northern
California and all across the
country as she was raising her
family of six children. She
enjoyed music and played several instruments by ear, including the piano, accordion and
flute. She was an avid gardener
and had a green thumb.
Mrs. Kellar was predeceased
by her husband of 43 years,
Paul F. Kellar; and a grandson,
Nathan L. Price.
She leaves behind her children, Paul and wife Bonnie
of Chesapeake, Kathleen of
Gloucester, Bill and wife Stacey

and wife Cindy, and Patrick
and wife Suzie, all of Jamaica;
nine grandchildren, Frank and
Mike Evans, Joey, D.J., Rachel,
Dylan, Jesse, Noel and Samantha Kellar; four great-grandchildren; a special niece, Mary

Ryan Mitchell Wilcox remembered
for community service, leadership
Ryan Mitchell Wilcox, 17,
of Kilmarnock died December
12, 2008.
Mr. Wilcox was active in
school and community. He was
an avid hunter, leader in his
Boy Scout troop and volunteer
firefighter. He had plans that
included college and a military
career.
A junior at Christchurch
School, he made the dean’s list
and was recognized last year
as the most improved member
of the rowing team. Although
slight in build, his position
as coxswain required him to
bark orders to the much bigger
rowers, according to headmaster Jeb Byers.
“He was up to the task,”
Byers said. “It takes a little
person with a big heart to make
sure the rowers are in sync.
One of Ryan’s teammates said
he demanded a lot and pushed
them very hard, which is why
they were so successful. Our
faculty and students will miss
him dearly, and all that he
brought to our school life. We
have paused many times in
small and large gatherings this
weekend to remember and also
to celebrate Ryan’s life. We
mourn with Ryan’s family and
give thanks that he was one of
our own.”
Randal Brown, the school’s
former dean of students and
current director of development, said he counseled Mr.
Wilcox on joining the Corps
of Cadets at Virginia Tech
and developing a career in the
army. Brown is a major in the
U.S. Army Reserve.
“Ryan had a knack for sticking to a project whether for
the Boy Scouts, volunteering for the fire department or
other activities in which he was
involved. I have no doubt he
would have made a fine military officer,” Brown said.
Mr. Wilcox was a member of
Boy Scout Troop 242, serving
for the past year as assistant
senior patrol leader. According to assistant troop leader
Bill Joyner, Ryan was working
on his “Life” rank, which is
one level below Eagle. Joyner
called Mr. Wilcox a reliable,
well-liked and active member
of the Scouting program. The
Scouts of Troop 242 served
as honorary pallbearers at his
funeral. For the past two years,
Mr. Wilcox served as a junior
firefighter with the Kilmarnock
Volunteer Fire Department
(KVFD), laying hoses and
assisting with the pump truck
during fires and in overhauling
the building to make sure the
fire was out. Last Friday evening, Mr. Wilcox participated
with fellow firemen in the
Kilmarnock Christmas parade,
riding in tanker #15.
“Ryan didn’t miss many fire
calls,” said Ryan Gordan of the
KVFD. “He did whatever you
asked him to do even if he didn’t
know how or was scared—he
did it. He was always there and
was liked by everyone.”
Firefighters paid tribute to
the junior member of their firefighting family at his funeral on
Tuesday by carrying his casket
atop a fire truck rather than in a
hearse, Gordan said.
Mr. Wilcox is survived by
his parents, Kyle and Kenneth
Bransford; grandparents, Kay
and Thomas Carroll Somers
of White Stone; brother and
Valerie Rowley, 67, of
Deltaville died peacefully
Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at
her home in Deltaville.
She is survived by her husband, George Rowley; and a
sister, Dale Anszis of Weston,
Vermont.

Huguenot 48-36 in a tri-meet
on Dec. 10.
Wines got his 28th pin
against a Huguenot wrestler
in the 119-pound weight class.
The pin earned Wines the
school record for the most pins
in school history. He eclipsed
the previous record of 27 pins
held by former MHS star Nick
Hornbeck.
Wines got his 28th pin by
pinning his oppenent in a mere
13 seconds.
Conley tied the school
record of Joey Kellar when he
pinned his Amelia opponent
in 12 seconds—the fastest
time in school history. Conley
wrestled in the 189-pound
weight class.
Ean Reed of Middlesex won
in the 160-pound division with
a pin over an Amelia wrestler.
Jay Bryant picked up his
first-ever win by pinning his
Amelia opponent in the heavyweight class in a mere 38 seconds.
Alex Pratt won 12-3 in the

Pratt also won again with a
pin over a Huguenot wrestler
in 1:04, and Corey Keeling
pinned his Huguenot opponent

In junior varsity action,
Carlos Gonzales won his match
in the 160-pound weight class
against Huguenot with a pin
in 2:44, and Thomas Norman
won his match 14-4 in the 152pound weight class against
Amelia.
“It was great to see our
wrestlers be so tough against
Amelia and Huguenot, a
Group AAA school and a
much bigger school than us,”
said MHS coach Lee Anderson.
The Chargers will wrestle
in a quad-meet on Saturday,
December 20, at Lancaster

Chargers show progress;
to host Raiders tonight
The intensity and aggressiveness of the Middlesex
High boys varsity basketball
team picked up in recent
losses to Lancaster, 64-49,
and Northumberland, 72-66.
“I think we are definitely
making
progress,”
said
Charger head coach Neil
Bailey. “We have such an
inexperienced team, so growing pains are inevitable.”
The Chargers only have
two players returning off last
year’s squad.
On Dec. 11, Middlesex
battled a good Lancaster
team throughout the first half
and trailed by only 27-25 at
intermission. However, the
Red Devils put 37 points on
the scoreboard in the second
half and went on to a 15-point
win.
Malcolm
Ward
led
Middlesex with 18 points,
and Michael Bess added 13,
including a pair of 3-pointers.
Nigel Rich and Shawn Lee
added 4 points each, Davonne
Bryant had 3, and Jake
Fletcher and Sean Sutherlin
added 2 apiece. Matt Duke
hit a free throw. Cody Hunter
played a solid floor game and
battled the taller Devils on
the boards.
NHS 72, Middlesex 66
Middlesex got a little
closer to its first win of the
season on Saturday against
visiting Northumberland, but
fell 72-66.
Northumberland outscored
Middlesex 21-6 points in the
third quarter to break open a
close game and lead 61-42.
Middlesex,
however,
wouldn’t quit and outscored
NHS 24-11 in the fourth
quarter.
Bess had a season-high
30 points, including five
3-pointers, to lead the Chargers. Ward hit for 24 points,
including two 3-pointers.
Markus Hammond added
6 points, Cody Hunter 5, and
Rich made a free throw for
the Chargers (0-5).
Middlesex was 12 of 22
from the free throw line, and
Northumberland was 16 of
30.
“I am hoping that we
turned the corner in the
Northumberland game,” said
Bailey. “Players are beginning to adjust to their roles
and Michael (Bess) and Malcolm (Ward) really stepped
up their scoring in the second
half.
“Michael [Bess] is beginning to feel more comfortable
being aggressive and looking
for his shot, which is a new
role for him,” said Bailey
about his junior guard.
“Malcolm [Ward] also
really showed good leadership in helping the younger
players gain some confidence,” said Bailey.
The next hurdle is consistency. “If we can achieve a
focused, cohesive effort for
32 minutes, we can have some
success,” said Bailey. “Our
hope is that we can start to
really come together in time
for the first of the year.
“We hate not winning
games, but at this point it is
most beneficial to keep our
eyes on the big picture—District play and the Region A
Tournament—so that we can
reach our goals for the year,”
said Bailey.
“I am proud of the effort
from this team and the determination they have shown
during this rough stretch,”
said Bailey. “This has certainly been a new experience
for me.”

The Middlesex High boys

split a pair of games this week,
defeating Northumberland and
losing to Lancaster.
On Dec. 13, Middlesex
(1-4) held Northumberland to
9 points in the second half to
post a convincing 33-16 win.
“It was a total team effort
from the coaches to the players,” said Middlesex coach
Jason Daniel. “Everyone
found a way to contribute
to the win against a tough
Northumberland team.”
The
Chargers
defense
stepped up big and held
Northumberland to only one
point in the second quarter.
“Jasper Smith did a great
job defending their best player
and held him to zero points,”
said Daniel.
“We got in foul trouble early,
but Juwan Reed and Justin
Smith stepped up and gave us
great minutes off the bench,”
he said.
“Donovan Jones and Sherman Oshborne came in and
gave us great energy and ball

Griffin.
“There is no way they would
have gotten a big lead on us if
we had made those shots.”
Kiersten Baylor tried to
motivate others with her play
and hustle, said Griffin, “but
they didn’t follow.”
Baylor led Middlesex with
13 points, 10 rebounds, 2
blocks, an assist and a steal.
“She was all over the place,
but couldn’t get any help,”
Griffin said.
Burnett was held to 8

Seahorses finish 2nd
in Stone Tournament
Christchurch fell 73-57 to
a powerful Paul VI Catholic
High School squad from Fairfax in Saturday’s championship
game of the 19th John Stone
Memorial Basketball Tournament at CCS.
Behind the solid play of Virginia Tech signee Eric Green,
the Panthers took an early lead.
CCS pulled within 3 points
near the end of the first half,
but could get no closer. Green,
a point guard, finished with 27
points.
Coron Williams led CCS
(3-3) with 23 points; Mike
Gbinije and Noble Cunningham had 11 apiece; Sam Miller
7; and James Ford 5.
In the tournament semifinals on Friday, the Seahorses
stage a miraculous comeback
win, 68-66, over a tough Group
AAA Gar-Field squad from
Woodbridge.
Christchurch
erased
a
14-point deficit in the final
four minutes to secure the win.
Coron Williams hit the gamewinning shot with seven seconds left.
The Seahorses fell behind by
14 points in the third quarter
but got a late offensive push
from C. Williams and Ford
to narrow the lead to 9 points
heading into the fourth quarter.
Gar-Field pushed their lead
back to 14 points with just
over four minutes remaining in
the game—then the Seahorses
roared back. The tandem of
Gbinije and C. Williams began
attacking Gar-Field’s defense
off the dribble. Gbinije powered home two drives, and Williams did the same, including a
slam dunk right down the heart
of the Gar-Field defense.
“There were so many big
plays in the last few minutes of
the game, it’s hard to recount
them all,” said CCS coach Glen
(See Seahorses, page A11)
Lady Charger JVs
improve to 3-1
by Tom Chillemi
The Middlesex High School
JV girls basketball team
defeated Lancaster 37-21 on
Dec.10.
Turnovers kept the score low
and at halftime the JV Lady
Chargers led 11-4.
The MHS girls (3-1) came
alive in the fourth quarter and
outscored the Lady Red Devils
16-6. “Our efforts on defense
and the press were more
intense, and we were able to
get some steals and easy baskets,” said MHS coach Michael
Lewis Sr.
Bridgette Self led Middlesex
with 14 points.
Starting point guard Jasmine
Fells fouled out early in the
fourth quarter after scoring 4
points.
Anna Reed stepped up to
score 5 of her 12 points in the
fourth quarter.
Nila Robinson collected 7
rebounds and scored 5 points.
Jocelyn Brown added 2
points, and Laura Lucas hauled
in 11 rebounds.
Beth Guill, Kendra Reed and
Latasha Cephas came off the
MHS bench and “did a good
job on defense,” said Lewis.
Middlesex was without
starting center Chelsi Blake,
who was sick. She returned
this week.
On Tuesday night, Middlesex
defeated the Northumberland
JVs 45-28 to improve to 3-1.
The Middlesex girls, who
hosted Essex on Dec. 17, are
at Rappahannock tonight, Dec.
18, in their final game before
the Christmas break.

Heyman wins Turkey Trot
Susan Heyman, 16, of
Urbanna was the first female to
cross the two-mile finish line
in the 9th Annual Irvington
Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day. She ran the race in
14:40.
Her cousin, Austin Heyman,
11, was the first youth to cross
with a time of 14:41.
Some 316 runners registered
for the two-mile race, and 150
runners for the five-mile race.

Surface water temps are now
about 44 degrees in the middle
bay, and 48 degrees in the lower
bay.
We have not seen the rush
of big stripers that should have
occurred by now. The Carolina coast to Oregon Inlet has
had an unusually large number
of big stripers for the past 3-4
weeks, leading many to think
the fish bypassed the mouth of
the bay during the cold snaps
we experienced over the past
month. Nonetheless, stripers
to 40-plus inches bit this week
in the Rappahannock River in
the area of Towles Point down
toward Buoy 6 and Mosquito
Point.
When bait can be found,
large and small umbrella rigs
are producing in open waters.
Bucktails and parachute lures
with grubs or shad, and Stormtype lures fished on bottom
bouncing rigs and up high are
working well, as are swimming
plugs and spoons.
Fishermen trolling the lower
bay have found little bait and
had poor results through the
weekend. Similar conditions
prevailed about four years ago
when the bay had few fish until
large pods of bait entered in
late December and the fish followed, producing a grand end to
the bay season. Let’s hope the
same thing happens this year.
Eelers had a slow week until
Sunday when the bite turned
better in the area of the Concrete Ships. We weighed three
citation fish on Monday, all
from eels in the Concrete Ships
area.
Rockfish citations included:

Taylor.
Sam Miller knocked home a
very important 3-pointer and
Ford hit an outside shot to pull
the Seahorses to within a point.
Gar-Field would make two free
throws to push the lead back
to 3 points, and on the ensuing
possession Christchurch effectively executed an offensive
set and Gbinije was fouled in
the act of shooting a 3-pointer.
After missing his first free
throw, Gbinije canned the last
two to pull the Seahorses to
within one point again.
The Seahorses regained possession with 15 seconds to play
and point guard Noble Cunningham pushed the ball up the
right hand side of the court and
reversed it to Gbinije at the top
of the key. Gbinije swung the
ball to C. Williams on the left
wing, who buried a very deep
3-pointer for the win.
Taylor said his team “looked
dead in the water but mustered
up a great deal of courage and
fortitude to pull off the stunner.
Again, the win was such a collective effort.”
C. Williams finished with
23 points, 6 rebounds, and 5
steals; Gbinije had 18 points,
8 rebounds, 4 steals and 4
blocks; Ford tallied 15 points,
3 rebounds, and some hardnosed defense; Miller had 5
points and 8 rebounds; Cunningham finished with 4 points
and 7 assists; and Trace Larabee nailed a 3-pointer.
Both Coron Williams and
Mike Gbinije were named to
John McQueen (left), one of John England’s stalwarts who is

Christchurch downed Prep
League foe Trinity Episcopal 61-42 on Dec. 10. Gbinije
finished with 20 points, 7
rebounds, and 6 blocked shots;
C. Williams finished with
a double-double (15 points
and 10 rebounds); and Miller
chipped in 10 points and 8
rebounds.
This Saturday Christchurch
will play Virginia Episcopal
School on the College of William and Mary’s home court in
Williamsburg at 5 p.m.
The Seahorses played Norfolk Collegiate on Dec. 16.

The holiday season is off and
running with our annual hayride/boat ride last Friday. Chilly
temperatures were no deterrent
to the over 200 fun seekers who
came, saw, and commenced
yachting on a magnificent
moonlit night. The boys at the
boatshop outdid themselves
decorating the “Iva W.,” which
provided a warming refuge for
waiting travelers.
The many people who volunteered their time and equipment
have the confidence of knowing that everyone was safe and
happy. This event is one of the
things that makes Deltaville so
special, and here is my list of
the other 10:
Never locking your car or
removing the keys, except
during gardening season, which
prevents your friends and
neighbors from filling up your
unattended vehicle with tomatoes and squash.
Never waiting in traffic or
really anywhere for anything.
No need for taxis or service
vehicles. If you break down you
will immediately be offered a
ride, and there is a good chance
someone will come along and
fix your car/truck on the spot.
The brown and sometimes
stinky drinking water that keeps
the big time “worker housing
for rich people” developers
away.
The men’s club (7-Eleven)
where you can find that elusive contractor, or strike a deal,
or find out where the fish are
biting, or really find out anything of immediate importance.
Hurd’s Hardware—If they
don’t have it, you don’t need it.
The new liquor store in
Deltaville, removing the last
good reason to ever leave.
Those beautiful rockfish
that linger in the fall and give
focus to the seemingly endless
autumn that we enjoy.
The Deltaville Maritime
Museum and Holly Point
Nature Park for the nature walk,
“Explorer,” “F.D. Crockett,”
“Iva W.,” the sculpture gardens,
and other wonders that cement
our community in a whole new
way.
The Kelly House—a beautiful restoration and just the kind
of sensitive development we
need.
Well that’s 10 reasons, but
don’t forget, “We’re all here
‘cause we’re not all there.”
See you next year.
Workplace seminar planned
On Monday, Jan. 12, from 6
to 8:30 p.m., the Middle Peninsula Business Development
Partnership and RCC’s Workforce Development will present “Choose Your Attitude.”
This seminar will use the Fish
Philosophy and will address
the importance of a positive
attitude in the workplace. This
will be an interactive class with
small group work.
The cost to register for
Choose Your Attitude is $45
and includes all materials. The
seminar will be held at RCC’s
Glenns Campus.
Contact the MPBDP at 7584917 or register online at www.

Saluda fire . . .
Deltaville ladder truck arrived,
its 1,000 gallons-per-minute pumping power was not
enough.
Fire companies from Urbanna, Hartfield, Deltaville and
Water View worked to bring
the raging blaze under control.
Companies from as far away as
Tappahannock, Center Cross
and Gloucester also assisted.
The only part of the Scotts’
house that appeared to have
been spared the fire’s wrath
was a large Christmas wreath
on the front door, which a fireman took down and gave to the
Scotts. “I’m sorry we couldn’t
do more,” he told them.
Westbound traffic on the
divided section of General
Puller Highway was routed
into a single lane on the east-

The Urbanna Rescue Squad
and Urbanna Fire Department
Auxiliary also responded.
Rampage continues
This was the ninth major fire
in Middlesex since September
16. In the past 12 weeks seven
houses and two businesses
have been destroyed.
Bill Thrift, chief of the
Middlesex Volunteer Fire
Department in Urbanna, said
the series of fires is unprecedented in his 47 years as a
volunteer firefighter.
On September 16, fire gutted
an old house on Urbanna
Road. Reportedly, the fire was
started by a candle that had
been dropped on a bedspread.
On October, 22, fire
claimed a home on Poplar
Drive in Piankatank Shores at
Hartfield.
Moo’s Diner in Urbanna
burned in the early morning
hours of November 4. The
cause is believed to be electrical.
On November 13, an overloaded power strip caused a
fire that destroyed a waterfront
home on Bayport Road at
Jamaica in upper Middlesex.
On November 24, an older
house in Urbanna was consumed by a fire that started in
the furnace area.
On November 25, a commercial building on Route 17
was severely damaged by fire.
On December 6, a home
at Harmony Village near the
intersection of Routes 33 and
3 was totally destroyed by fire
around 3:30 a.m.
On Sunday, December 14,
the home of John and Patricia
Willis at 520 Dragon Road in
Church View was destroyed
by fire around 8:30 p.m. Firefighters believe it was caused
by electrical problems in the
main fuse panel.
On Monday, December 15,
the home of Jesse and Dorothy
Scott on Route 33 near Saluda
was a total loss.

‘Interdicted’ not guilty of a crime
Middlesex Commonwealth’s
Attorney Mike Hurd explained
this week that the Sentinel incorrectly listed persons who had
been “interdicted” as having
been involved in a felony proceeding.
A person who is interdicted
has been determined by a court
to be a habitual drunkard and
is forbidden from possessing or
drinking alcohol, said Hurd.
Interdicted
persons
are
included in the court report to
make the public aware that these
individuals are not permitted
to have or drink alcohol, said
Hurd.
The interdiction action is a
civil proceeding and the persons
involved are not charged with or
convicted of a crime, said Hurd.
REWARD
Catman Cats is offering a
$500 Cash Reward
for information leading to the
arrest and conviction of the
person(s) involved in the vadalism
that occurred between the hours
of 5 p.m., Saturday, December 6
and 8 a.m. Sunday, December 7.
