New Superintendents Take Helms of Local Schools
~ In Accomack ~
Story and photo by Linda Cicoira
“This is a great step going in the right
direction,” Superintendent Dr. Kregg Cuellar told the Accomack School Board Tuesday night regarding updating the grading system for the first time in 23 years.
The board had put off making a decision about the proposal until Cuellar
could give his opinion. Tuesday was the
superintendent’s first day on the job.
With a few adjustments to the draft
proposed by a committee of administrators, teachers and parents, the board
unanimously adopted new regulations.
It’s well overdue,” Cuellar continued.
“This is the most impactful part of a
child’s academic career.” He called on
school department heads and other administrators to help tackle some issues.
Action included changing the word
“will” to “could,” allowing students otherwise exempt from taking exams to
take the tests, as some parents are worried they should to better prepare for
college. It also set the lowest test score
in elementary school at 50. Deciding
how grades will be calculated was also
among the debates.
Cuellar said figuring in what is mastered by students is also important.
Speaking just after being sworn in
earlier in the day, Cuellar proposed a
first-year plan similar to that of his predecessor, Dr. Bruce Benson.
Cuellar said he is on a 150-day “listening and learning” phase “surveying
the landscape of the community, understanding the rich history and culture of
Accomack County, being inside school
buildings a lot, being visible in schools,
talking to as many people as possible
(and) getting to know the staff.”
“I don’t anticipate making any major
changes in the system at least for Year
One,” Cuellar said. After assessing the
division, he and the School Board “will
engage in conversation on the development of strategic direction, which is generally a five-year plan.”
When Benson came to the county several years ago, he said on his 20th day on
the job that he was in “listening mode”
as he gathered input from stakeholders
inside and outside the school system.

CHINCOTEAGUE – Bucking the trends of automation and syndicated radio across the country,
96.5 CTG radio continues to expand, now into its second summer of operation.
Recent additions to the CTG crew include Greg Fentress, co-host of the “Big Breakfast Morning
Show.” Fentress’ voice is familiar on the Shore. He did the afternoon show on Q105 in Salisbury for
many years, as well as wake-up duties at WOLC in Princess Anne and other radio stints.
Also recently added to CTG’s on-air personalities is Gary “G.E.” Edsall — weekdays from 10 am
to 3pm; and Benjy “Doc” Holloway, a decades-long staple of Eastern Shore radio, taking requests and
keeping the news and information flowing weeknights 7 ’til midnight.
In support of the on-air sound, the CTG advertising team is also growing. Atlantic resident Steve
Branly is the newest addition.
Since late 2012, “The Variety Station” has permeated the Shore’s airwaves with its unique blend of
music hits — from 1970s classic rock anthems and ’80s monster ballads and new wave curiosities, to
alternative rock ’90s and a mix of today’s eclectic rock-pop hits. Blend in hourly NBC news updates,
twice-an-hour Accu-Weather forecasts, and live personalities all day and night and you have CTG.
“I want CTG to be just as important and vital to our listeners as their smart phone,” said Greg Bojko,
the station’s owner. “I don’t want anyone out of the loop about anything on the Shore. We’re here to
entertain and inform, whether a dangerous storm is approaching or there’s a traffic accident blocking
Route 13, our listeners will be the first to know. That’s what Live & Local is all about.”
Currently, CTG is giving away tickets to this summer’s hottest concerts with the CTG Workforce.
A new transmitter installed just prior to launching 96.5 CTG gives the station solid coverage from Virginia’s Eastern Shore, along the coast into lower Delaware and as far North as Cambridge, Md., and Seaford,
Del. Coastal residents and tourists, as well as long-time residents, have caught on to the station.

Northampton Public Schools has a
change in leadership as Eddie Lawrence replaced Dr. Walter Clemons,
effective July 1.
Clemons, who was at the helm for
three years, is stepping down to take
head up Gloucester Public Schools.
Lawrence is a 34-year veteran of
Accomack County Schools, where
he served as teacher, principal, and
high-school coordinator.
During the public comment session
of last week’s School Board session,
parent Cathy Buyrn suggested using consumable books as opposed to
hard-covered books. She questioned
the wisdom of spending the limited
funds that the schools have on disposable materials. “We need to be more
responsible with the schools’ money,”
Buyrn said. “Go back to books and not
the workbooks or worksheets.”
School Board member JoAnn Molera spoke of a program called Imagination Library, which provides parents with a book each month for their
children. The program was created by
Dolly Parton. Parton has made the
program available to any community
willing to partner with her to support it locally. Information about the
program is available at Northampton
Free Library in Nassawadox and at
http://www.imaginationlibrary.com/
Clemons reported that at the end
of the school term, there were 1,698
students in the school system. He also
said he was working with the county
to obtain use of several county-owned
lots adjacent to the high school for a
soccer field.
Occohannock Elementary School
band instructor Brad Ford addressed
the board regarding the need to fund
repairs for school band instruments.
He noted that a number of them date
back as far as the 1930s, and while
still usable, require maintenance. He
asked the board to budget $1,000 for
each of the three schools, which have
conducted fundraisers to help cover
the costs. Oakley agreed with the
need and said the board would investigate where the funds might be
found when it meets in July. Parents
or former students who have unused
band instruments they would like to
donate to the schools may contact the
superintendent’s office at 678-5151.
Prior to concluding the session,
the board voted to accept a recommendation by Operations Director
Chris Truckner regarding replacement of the boiler at the high school.
The board awarded a contract with
Houghtaling Associates to provide
the replacement at a cost of $35,399.
Truckner indicated that the boiler
will be installed by local contractors.

Heroin Holds Many on Shore in ITS Grip
By Linda Cicoira
t’s cheap and it takes away the pain. But as use
increases, so does the cost and when it’s all gone,
the lust for heroin becomes unbearable.
“When you open your eyes, you’ve got to have it,” a
41-year-old recovering addict who lives in Accomack
County said this week. “And then, so many hours after that, you have to have it again.”
During withdrawal, “your whole body turns into
a charley horse” with spasms and cramps, he said.
“You throw up … it’s the worst experience. It took
me a month to withdraw. I did not sleep for seven
straight days. I couldn’t eat for five days. I couldn’t
get out of the bed. I laid around the toilet for two
days. I wanted death bad.”
He quit cold turkey. There was no Suboxone, a detox medicine that is part opioid and similar to codeine
and heroin without the intense euphoria. He was just
lucky someone cared enough to bring him water.
The man agreed to speak to the Eastern Shore
Post if his identity was kept secret. He is white, which
is typical for a heroin user. He also has a history of
abusing prescription painkillers, the most recent of
which he was given after tearing a rotator cuff at his
construction job.
He’d been taking Vicodin for about a year when
he got a gig working in a city hours from his Shore
home. Unable to return for a doctor’s appointment,
I
he couldn’t get the prescription refilled.
That’s when he was offered the tan powder. He
started out snorting it. For the last month of use, he
was shooting it into his veins for a faster high.
“Heroin is like a downer when you first start using
it,” he said. “Then it has a reverse effect. I was paying
$50 for 13 bags,” he continued. “We would pay $400
for a log — that’s 10 bundles — which is 130 bags.
Other coworkers were fooling with it. They didn’t
have injuries. They were just getting high.” Most of
the time, he said, he would “take the ride to get it and
bring it back to the others and split it up to get the
better deal.”
After a few months, he got back home. “I had a
habit,” he said, explaining that he then had to go to
Wilmington, Del., to pick up the drug. Eventually, the
habit climbed to a $1,000-a-week addiction. “I spent
less time working and more time looking for drugs.”
At his worst, he shot up six bags one after the other. Before that, “the amount I was snorting, I could
take a whole bundle and snort. Besides my pupils
being pins, you’d never know it.”
But he shakes his head and wonders if others did
know. He said the signs
to look for include “nodding
out, scratching, weight loss, small pupils (and) a long
look on the face. Like a droopy expression.”
“I’ve been messing with drugs most of my life,” the addict noted. “I had an abusive stepfather so I stayed away

thing then. It just escalated. A lot of LSD … one minute
I’m 16, the next minute I’m 41.” Most of the guys in his
group who did harder drugs also grew up in abusive
households. “I don’t think we connected those then,”
he said, adding that he was physically and mentally
abused — and sexually abused when “I was a little boy.”
At 16, he was busted in North Carolina for possession of LSD. He got a suspended sentence and claims
his mother turned him in for a bogus probation violation so he was sent back to serve jail time. When he
got out, he quit school (he was in the 11th grade) and
moved to Ocean City, Md., with his brother.
At 19, he spent a couple of years in a Maryland
facility for possession of cocaine.
His father was around then, too. Both his brother
and his dad were just out of prison, where they served
time for drug offenses. His brother taught him to do
construction jobs. “All we pretty much did was work
and party. We (the two of them and their coworkers)
stayed together like a clan. We’d get in trouble. Get
warrants and go somewhere else and work.”
Doing drugs “just became a way of life. We did ’em
to work longer,” he said. “I’ve worked on construction
jobs for 20 plus hours straight. We were just sucked
into this world.”
How did they survive so long? “At one point when
I was clean, I used to box … we always lifted weights.
We always ran. We stayed in good shape.” Still he
added, “I don’t know how I didn’t die.”
His brother passed away after taking too much
Xanax, a prescription drug used to treat panic and
anxiety. “I think he took so many, he didn’t know how
many he took.” A few days earlier he complained
about possibly having a heart attack. “I said, ‘Well,
you look OK, let’s go to work.”
Life always just kept going. “I never really took
the time to see what was wrong” about anything, he
said. “I was in denial of it.”
Now he’s attending two group programs — Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and Celebrate Recovery
(CR) — both based on the 12-step program. “I’ve
been doing whatever it takes — reading and praying — so this doesn’t happen again. I can’t make any
long-term plans. I have to think about each day as it
comes and eventually it will become easier … this is
the first time I’ve really had enough. Any other time
periods that I’ve had clean, I really couldn’t focus on
myself … I have to make an effort of who I surround
myself with … my friends are all dead or in prison. I
have a very supportive family.”
Now, “when I wake up, I speak positive instead
of negative things. I reject the negative thoughts. It
all starts in the head. I’ve learned to stop the negative thinking,” he said. “I’ve read somewhere it takes
seven seconds to disregard a thought … otherwise
it turns to an obsession and a stronghold … I can
see where I was everywhere with my thoughts. I’m
thinking calmer. It doesn’t take a pill to do that. You
just have to be conscious of it all in your mind and
have to learn to deal with it.”

He wants to go back to school and get a union job.
“The drug use is not as rampant there,” he added.
“They are strict” on urine testing.
The addict compared cocaine and heroin. “I never
had any cocaine withdrawals. With crack, it was all
a mind thing. Not physical at all … you don’t think
about the consequences.”
He also reflected about the beginning. “Smoking
weed. It made us all stupid. Where did it get you?
Absolutely nowhere. It’s sad because all the propaganda is pointing in that direction. All the videos and
stuff making it seem great. It’s just crazy man.”
What does he want to tell people who are thinking of
using heroin? “It would be the biggest mistake of their
life; the same with cocaine. There’s nothing that comes
from any of that. Nothing good. The pleasure is only
temporary. The damage can sometimes be a lifetime.”
He also has lots of remorse. “I’d like to apologize to
my family. I’m sorry for the ones I’ve hurt. I love ’em
… I put a strain on a lot of people. I wasn’t very pleasant to be around. I knew I was loved but I couldn’t
feel it. I was always numb to everything. I always felt
like an outsider. Like I was living someone else’s life.”
The man is hesitant about actually working the
program steps. “I do better by myself. I don’t have the
distractions. I’m not strong enough to have to deal
with the way other people are thinking … I’ve put
enough in my system I’m done.”
Still, the program is seeping in. How does he plan
to stay clean? “One day at a time,” he said.

Court Postings
By Linda Cicoira
Accomack Circuit Court
Being married to two women at the
same time got a Pennsylvania man
with connections to the Eastern Shore
a felony conviction and a five-year
suspended sentence last week in Accomack Circuit Court.
Chris Allen Fritz, 54, of both Landmark Court in Chambersburg, Pa.,
and Bluebill Drive in Horntown,
pleaded guilty to the Class 4 felony
charge of bigamy. He told officers that
he thought his first wife had divorced
him when he married the second in
July 2012 at Assateague Beach.
Records show he married Candi
Rahn in 2012 when he was already
married to Hazel May Farrow. Both
women live in Pennsylvania.
In another case, Brian Thomas Taylor,
41, of Atlantic Road in Atlantic pleaded
guilty to embezzling nearly $1,300 between June 5 and July 19, 2013, from
Auto Zone in Onley, where he worked. A
presentence report was ordered. He was
released on existing bond.
Richard Christian, 62, of Hall Street
in Onancock was sentenced for possessing cocaine on June 6, 2013, to five
years in prison, with all but two years
suspended. He was remanded to jail.
Cleo Kelley III, 28, of Tasley Road in
Tasley was sentenced for felony eluding
to five years, with all but two years suspended. The term is to run consecutively
with a reinstated sentence for robbery.
His license was suspended for 90 days.
Marquise O’bryan Drummond, 28,
of Ross Lane in Gargatha was sentenced to two years for possession of
cocaine and 30 days for possession
of marijuana, both occurring Oct. 27,
2013. For possession of cocaine with
the intent to distribute it, he got 15

varsity volleyball team will not be allowed to split the charges into two trials.
Her plea for two proceedings that
would separate the victims was denied Monday in Northampton Circuit
Court.
Aerial Darden is accused of committing the acts while on a Franklin
school bus that was leaving a game
at Northampton High School in Eastville on Aug. 26, 2013. “The offenses
are based on the same act or scheme
of acts,” Assistant Commonwealth’s
Attorney Beverly Leatherbury successfully argued. She said “the ends of
justice do not require separate trials.”
The defense lawyer said the “two
events are totally separate” and trying
them together would allow “prejudice
to my client.” He said the issue involves
the “constitutional rights of a fair trial
… (the jury) is going to take the events
of one witness against the other. The
threat is too great to be tried together.”
Darden is asking for a trial by jury,
which means she plans to plead not
guilty.
Judge W. Revell Lewis III defended
his decision, commenting that with
the “timeframe of 10 minutes, I think
there was one” incident. “They will be
tried jointly.”
Darden will be tried as an adult.
According to court documents, some
of the team members were allegedly
held down while a pillow was put over
their mouths and they were molested.
In written admissions, three girls said
they did the acts to others and each
other. Two coaches were on the bus but
were unaware that the alleged crimes
were taking place. Darden is accused of
being the ringleader. Other cases handled in Northampton Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court are not public.
Six of the charges against Darden
are felonies and include two counts of
object sexual penetration, animate or
inanimate penetration by force, aggravated sexual battery of a girl between
13 and 15 years old, carnal knowledge
of a girl who was “three years or more
her junior” and sexual abuse of a child
between 13 an 15 years old by a person
in a mob.
Darden also was indicted on misdemeanor counts of sexual abuse, assault
and battery, and assault and battery
by a person in a mob. Darden allegedly
molested six girls.
Someone on the bus later told a
school worker about the alleged incidents because she felt bad, the record
states.
In another case, Charles Alan Lewis
Sr., 45, of Exmore pleaded guilty to
driving after having been declared an
habitual offender. He was sentenced
to five years in prison, with four years
suspended. Lewis got 12 months for
DUI and was fined $2,500. His driver’s
license was suspended for 12 months.
He also was convicted of misdemeanor eluding and was sentenced to six
months in jail. All time was suspended
on the condition that he be on good behavior for 15 years.

Accomack District Court
A Horntown man was arrested last
weekend and charged with kidnapping
and two counts of rape, according to
records filed in Accomack General District Court.
Curtis John Lambert, 40, of Bay
Breeze is accused of having sexual intercourse with a woman against her
will and abduction in the second degree between June 16 and 17. Lambert
also is accused of misdemeanor assault
and battery in connection with the incident.
He was arrested June 27 and is being held in Accomack Jail without bail.
Investigator Patrick Coulter of Accomack County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO)
is handling the case. An August preliminary hearing is scheduled.
In another case, Joel Nathaniel Miller, 23, of Bethel Church Road in Bloxom
was charged with distributing between
a half-ounce and five pounds of marijuana. Bail was set at $5,000. Deputy
H.F. Little of ACSO investigated.
Jordan Lewis Sterling, 30, of Decormis Street in Accomac was convicted
Monday of misdemeanor possession
with intent to sell less than a halfounce of marijuana on March 5. He
initially was charged with felony possession with intent to distribute between a half-ounce and five pounds of
marijuana.
Sterling was sentenced to 12 months
in jail, with 10 months and 20 days
suspended. His driver’s license was
suspended for six months. In addition,
a charge of burglary that allegedly occurred on May 5 was certified to the
Grand Jury.

Researcher Works To Uncover Origins of Wild Chincoteague Ponies
By Linda Cicoira
It is the first phase of a plan to uncover the lost Spanish ship La Galga,
which wrecked during a hurricane
in 1750, leaving small horses on Assateague Island.
Researcher John Amrhein Jr., author of the book, “The Hidden Galleon,”
says those equines are the ancestors of
the current herd of famous wild Chincoteague ponies.
He contends the herd could not be
descendants of horses here two centuries earlier. Amrhein says Marguerite
Henry, who made the ponies famous
in her book “Misty of Chincoteague,”
claimed the horses were around when
the English arrived and that the shipwreck occurred in the 16th century.
“This was not true,” said Amrhein.
“The truth was that while people remembered the Spanish shipwreck, some
had forgotten which century it happened. Besides, the people who arrived
in the 1600s would have no knowledge
of what happened in the 1500s.”
While uncovering the ship and determining the lineage of the ponies are
two different subjects, they originate
from the same place and could be very
important to the economy of the area,
including the value of filly or colt, Amrhein says.
This week, he and his team of surveyors performed a magnetic survey
that will allow identification of the
wreckage site with a global positioning system (GPS). The location is two
miles south of the Maryland/Virginia
border and can be accessed by a road
not usually open to visitors at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge.
More than five years after applying
for an archeological permit from the
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (F&W) to
make this initial survey, Amrhein recently was told the task could be done
with a more easily obtainable specialuse permit available at the refuge.
So after waiting all that time to do
a non-disturbing probe, he got permission and started the job Tuesday. “I’ve
probably got $7,000 in this for one day
of work,” Amrhein notes. “It adds up.”
“I hadn’t been there in 30 years,”
he says of the site. “We’ve got a much
clearer picture. I saw … where I put
the old creek blind was in error,” so the
site was moved slightly.
“When we did not find any scatter …
we concluded they (those who he hopes
eventually come to dig up the ship) would
find it intact.” Amrhein believes the boat
is possibly just below water level and
wood could be hit with a five-foot pole. “If
it all was intact, then the bottom of the
boat would be 16 feet down,” he figures.
The second phase of Amrhein’s mission is to bring a team of about 15 to
get the boat out, putting in a steel coffer and pumping out the water and
dirt. That’s when the archeological permit would be necessary.
Amrhein’s vision includes a major
motion picture and a multi-milliondollar museum built to hold the ship.
“It could be a very big thing for Chincoteague,” he says. “For me, it’s just the
end of journey.
“I’m just speculating, but ultimately
they (Chincoteague Fire Company)
could get more money for the ponies.”
According to an account written by
Amrhein, “The first record that sug-
gested that the horses came from a
shipwreck was published in Scribner’s
Monthly in April 1877. In 1884, ‘Wallace’s Monthly’ provided a detailed account of the oral tradition. It described
a Spanish shipwreck lost on Assateague
Beach and that the ‘the original Spanish horses were small.’ Published accounts of the Spanish shipwreck legend
then became routine.”
“In 1991, the National Park Service commissioned a genetic study of
feral horses along the East Coast,” he
writes. “The scientists reported that
the Assateague horses had strong ties
to the Paso Fino breed … brought to
South America in the 16th century by
the Spanish.”
“We now know there was a Spanish
shipwreck,” writes Amrhein. “We know
that legend says the horses came from
that shipwreck. ”
“Grandpa Beebe said in ‘Misty’ …
that it was the Indians who rescued the
survivors of the Spanish shipwreck,”
Amrhein continues. “Documents in the
Spanish archives give credit to the Indians’ assistance to the crew of La Galga.”

Cheriton Building Department Director Warren Wisneski told Town
Council last week that repairs had
been completed to most of the drainage problems reported in May. The cost
was $4,200.
Wisneski reported that the ongoing
issue of a resident with excessive salvage materials on her property is slowly being resolved. He said the owner is
in the process of selling and removing
the materials to bring the property
into compliance with town ordinances.
Mayor Joe Habel raised the issue of
dealing with a property owner with a
dog that barks incessantly. Wisneski
noted that the town has ordinances
to address the matter, but Town Clerk
Stacy Sparrow said she would contact
the property owner to try to resolve the
problem without having to take it to
the next level.
Habel reported that the town is in
negotiations for property to be used as
a Town Hall that also would provide
space for the Department of Motor
Vehicles Select Office, both of which
rent space from Cheriton Fire Department. The town has been investigating
options for property that would meet
the needs of both groups. Recent water
damage to the current office space has
accelerated the need for the move.
Councilman Greg Hardesty reported on the progress of the Public Service Authority (PSA) with regards to
the wastewater project for the Cheriton- Cape Charles area. He said a subcommittee of representatives from the
Town of Cape Charles, the county, and
the PSA is seeking to resolve issues

that include the desire of Cape Charles
to accept out-of-town wastewater, possible rates, and what properties would
make use of the service.
At the May council session, Board of
Mond
Supervisors Chairman Larry Le­
addressed council’s desire for a boundary adjustment and provided a list of
recommendations to be addressed prior
to a county decision. Habel and council
discussed and supported the recommendations and agreed to submit a letter to the county regarding the matter
in hopes of an agreeable outcome.
A final issue discussed by council
was the extension of a rental agreement with the Pacific Atlantic Professional Academy (PAPA) for the
maritime training facility adjacent to
Cheriton Fire Department. Lee Goldman, director of PAPA, has expressed a
desire to expand her training opportunities. Council asked for additional information on the activities that might
be conducted and agreed to conduct
a public hearing on the matter at the
council session on July 23.

Planners Focus on Housing
By Ron West
The Northampton Planning Commission focused attention on affordable housing options Tuesday.
Elaine Meil, executive director of the
Accomack-Northampton Planning District Commission (ANPDC) outlined the
efforts of her agency to provide as many
housing units as possible for the Shore.
ANPDC Housing Development Director David Annis reported that the Hughes
Apartment complex near Eastville is
undergoing extensive renovations.
Newly appointed Commissioner
Dr. Mark Freeze asked about the income limitations for applicants for the
apartments. Annis responded that a
family of four qualifies with an annual
income of $26,350.
Asked about the number of rental
units in the county, long-range planner
Peter Stith responded that more than
400 are designated for lower income,
agricultural, and disabled residents.
Meil reported that data on the number of homes without indoor plumbing
are suspect and a survey is going to be
conducted in an attempt to get a true
picture of the problem. The number of
housing units in the county without in-
door plumbing has ranged from as low
as 100 to as high as 400.
Commissioner Mike Ward asked if
there are programs encouraging developers to provide affordable housing,
such as apartments. Meil responded
that it is difficult to find parcels of
sufficient size with access to public
water and sewage or space for largescale drainfields. The cost associated
with building such a facility makes it
difficult for the developer to keep the
monthly rental fees affordable.
Following a review of the data provided on housing, the commissioners
reviewed and edited the Environmental
and Community Facilities and Services
portions of the Comprehensive Plan.
The issue of retaining or removing the
regulations pertaining to the Chesapeake Bay Act to the seaside proved to
be a sticking point. Most of the county
supervisors have questioned the need
for the act to protect the seaside, given
that most of the area is already protected by a number of conservation plans
and property setbacks. With no consensus by the commissioners, it was agreed
to table the discussion until the next
meeting on July 16.
Saturday hours now available at
Riverside Cape Charles Medical Center
One Launch Fails; Another July 11
The flight of a Terrier-Improved Malemute sounding rocket from NASA’s
Wallops Flight Facility ended prematurely at 4:36 a.m. Wednesday, about 19
seconds after its launch.
Range controllers detected a flight
anomaly with the second stage Improved
Malemute motor; the vehicle flew to an
altitude of 27,000 feet and impacted
about one nautical mile downrange.
There were no injuries or property
damage as the vehicle landed in the
established hazard zone in the Atlantic Ocean, which was cleared prior to
launch.
A NASA team will investigate the
cause of the flight anomaly and more
information will be released as it becomes available.
Meanwhile, Orbital Sciences and
the International Space Station Program have set Friday, July 11, as the
launch date for the Antares rocket and
the Cygnus cargo craft on the Orbital-2
resupply mission to the space station.
Launch time on July 11 is 1:40:27
p.m. from Wallops Flight Facility.
NASA Television coverage will begin
at 1 p.m.
The launch will result in the rendezvous and grapple of Cygnus by Expedition 40 Commander Steve Swanson of
NASA and Flight Engineer Alexander
Gerst of the European Space Agency at
7:24 a.m. on Tuesday, July 15. Rendezvous coverage on NASA TV will begin
at 6:15 a.m.
NASA TV also will provide coverage
of Cygnus’ berthing to Harmony beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Cygnus will remain berthed to the
station until Aug. 15.
Antares will be rolled out to the launch
pad on July 9. The Cygnus spacecraft
will deliver 1,657 kg of cargo to the ISS
and will be loaded with approximately
1,346 kg of material for disposal upon reentry into Earth’s atmosphere.
Starting July 5th, Riverside Medical Group providers
will offer Saturday hours from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF A JOINT PETITION BY PEPCO HOLDINGS, INC.,
DELMARVA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY, POTOMAC ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY,
CONECTIV LLC, EXELON CORPORATION, AND EXELON ENERGY
DELIVERY COMPANY LLC, FOR APPROVAL OF
TRANSFER OF CONTROL PURSUANT TO THE UTILITY TRANSFERS ACT
CASE NO. PUE-2014-00048
On June 3, 2014, Pepco Holdings, Inc. (“PHI”), Delmarva Power & Light Company
(“Delmarva”), Potomac Electric Power Company (“Pepco”), Conectiv LLC, Exelon Corporation
(“Exelon”), and Exelon Energy Delivery Company LLC (collectively, the “Petitioners”) filed with
the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) a Joint Petition seeking approval to transfer
control of Delmarva and Pepco to Exelon. The Petitioners seek approval pursuant to the Utility
Transfers Act of the Code of Virginia, which provides, in part, that “[n]o person … shall, directly or
indirectly, acquire or dispose of control of … [a] public utility within the meaning of this chapter, or
all of the assets thereof, without the prior approval of the Commission.”
The Joint Petition states that Pepco and Delmarva are considered public utilities under the
Utility Transfers Act. Pepco and Delmarva are subsidiaries of PHI that transferred their former
Virginia electric service territories in 1985 and 2007, respectively. Although Pepco and Delmarva
no longer provide electric service to any retail customers in Virginia, these two companies own
certain transmission and subtransmission facilities located in their former Virginia service territories.
On April 29, 2014, PHI and Exelon entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(“Agreement”). Under the terms of the Agreement, PHI will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
Exelon (“Proposed Transaction”). Thus, as proposed, Exelon would become the ultimate
corporate parent of PHI and all of its subsidiaries, including Delmarva and Pepco.
The Joint Petition states that the Proposed Transaction, if approved, will not have a
significant impact on Virginia because Delmarva and Pepco serve no retail customers in Virginia,
provide no services pursuant to a Virginia tariff, and own a limited number of facilities in Virginia.
The Petitioners assert that the Proposed Transaction would have no adverse impact on the
adequacy or reliability of the Virginia transmission and subtransmission facilities owned by Pepco
and Delmarva, or on the Commission’s jurisdiction. The Petitioners further state that Delmarva
and Pepco do not have any employees in Virginia.
The Commission issued an Order for Notice and Comment that, among other things,
directed the Petitioners to provide notice to the public and provided interested persons an
opportunity to comment and/or request a hearing on the Joint Petition.
Interested persons may obtain a copy of the public version of the Joint Petition may by

Richmond, Virginia 23219. Copies of the public version of all documents filed in this case are
also available for interested persons to review in the Commission’s Document Control Center,
located on the first floor of the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219,

As provided by 5 VAC 5-20-80 C, Public witnesses, of the Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure (“Rules of Practice”), any person desiring to file written comments on the Joint
Petition shall file, on or before August 1, 2014, such comments with Joel H. Peck, Clerk, State

Commission at the address set forth above. Any interested person shall also serve a copy of
the notice of participation simultaneously upon counsel to the Petitioners at the address set forth

This Year’s Pony Swim Slated
for Last Week of This Month
For nearly nine decades, Chinco­
teague Volunteer Fire Company has
raised funds by rounding up its herd
of Chincoteague ponies living on As­
sateague Island, swimming them
across Assateague Channel to Chin­
coteague Island, and selling the foals
at auction.
The historic swim takes place on the
last Wednesday in July, with the auc­
tion of foals on the last Thursday in
July. Aside from raising funds to pur­
chase much needed firefighting equip­
ment, the auction serves to maintain
the herd of adult ponies at 150, which
is the number permitted to graze by
the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the
governing agency of Chincoteague Na­
tional Wildlife Refuge, located on As­
sateague Island.
The festivities begin with a carni­
val, which opened on June 27. Car­
nival dates are July 4 (fireworks at
10 p.m.), 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, and 26
and July 28 through Aug. 2. Attrac­
tions are open each night from 7 to
11 p.m.
The 2014 Pony Swim will take place
at the earliest morning “slack tide” on
July 30 and the auction of foals will
begin at 8 a.m. the following day at
the carnival grounds on Main Street,
Chincoteague.
The adult ponies will return to As­
sateague Island on the morning of
Aug. 1.
A more precise time for the swims
on Wednesday and Friday will be de­
termined by Chincoteague Volunteer
Fire Company a few days prior to the
event.
A visit to the chamber website at
www.chincoteaguechamber.com
will
provide more information on the event
and updated swim times, or you may
call the chamber at 336-6161.
Registration Open for
Master Naturalist Training
Registration is underway for the
Eastern Shore Master Naturalists ba­
sic training course which will be held
on Thursdays, Sept. 11 through Nov.
13, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Historic
Onancock School.
The training, which consists of class­
room and field sessions led by experts,
offers an overview of the special char­
acter of the Shore’s natural history.
Topics covered include botany, geology,
forestry, entomology, and ornithology,
as well as the natural processes that
create the barrier islands and the bay­
side coasts.
No special skills or knowledge are
required — just a curiosity about the
Shore’s environment and ecology and
how it all works together. The training
provides an avenue for future partici­
pation in citizen science projects, stew­
ardship and outreach.
The fee for the 10-week course is
$95 which covers all materials and
field trips. Space is limited and preregistration is necessary. For more in­
formation and to download the regis­
tration form, visit the web site, http://
masternaturalistesva.com or call Su­
san Vreeland at 442-7029.

A Foster Care Workshop will be held
Thursday, July 10, from 5:30 to 6:30

Middle School Building, corner classroom).

the foster care experience through the
eyes of a child.
For more information, call 6785153, ext. 328 or 334, and ask for Au­
zalia Brown or Olivia Collins.

New Blue Crab Limits Take Effect Tomorrow
The Virginia Marine Resources
Commission (VMRC) has implemented
new fisheries management measures
to conserve adult female and juvenile
blue crabs through targeted harvest
reductions. The commission voted to
reduce crab pot bushel and vessel limits by 10 percent for the period from
July 5, 2014, to July 4, 2015; and closed
the crab dredge fishery season for the
seventh year in a row.
These new management measures
were taken as a result of the 2014
Annual Winter Dredge Survey which
indicated female blue crabs dropped
below the safe level of 70 million and
are in a depleted state. Juvenile crab
numbers increased and have remained
at a safe level for the sixth consecutive
year. The juveniles must be conserved,
however, in order to increase their
chances of reproducing in even larger
numbers next year.
“These decisions, while never easy,
are absolutely necessary,” said VMRC
Commissioner John M.R. Bull. “The
measures … complement similar regu-
Licensed crabbers will have the following bushel limits beginning July 5:
lations adopted by our partners in this
effort, the Maryland Department of
Natural Resources and the Potomac
River Fisheries Commission. Together
we will continue to monitor the blue
crab population with our partners and
continue to adjust management strategies when necessary.”
Bull thanked VMRC’s two advisory

committees, the Crab Management
Advisory Committee, which supported
the commission’s decision and the Crab
Industry Advisory Committee. “Our
industry partners have contributed
greatly to VMRC’s work,” Bull said.
“Our partners have had some interesting ideas recently about building our
blue crab fishery. These committees, in
the coming months, will be working to
provide more detail on their ideas as
well as solicit baywide public input.”

Health Matters Managing Heat, Diabets, Etc.
W
ith daytime rising every
day, it becomes even more
important that people follow recommendations to protect
themselves from the extreme heat.
According to the Office of the
Chief Medical Examiner, in 2013
there were five heat-related deaths in
Virginia; in 2012 there were 21.
One of the most important precautions people should take is to schedule or reschedule activities and outdoor work during the coolest parts
of the day. In the summer, sunlight
exposure is greatest between 10 a.m.
and 4 p.m.
Here are additional steps you can
take to protect yourself against heatrelated illnesses:
•Keep cool in an air-conditioned
area. Take a cool shower or a bath.
Consider a trip to the mall or a local
library or visit a friend with air conditioning. Spending at least two hours
per day in air conditioning significantly reduces the risk of heat-related
illnesses. When temperatures reach
the upper 90s or above, a fan may not
prevent heat-related illness.
•Drink plenty of fluids (two to four
glasses of cool fluids each hour). To
replace salt and minerals lost from
sweating, drink fruit juice or a sports
beverage during exercise or when
you have to work outside. However,
talk to your doctor first if you’re on
a fluid-restricted diet or medications,
or on a low-salt diet.
•Avoid sunburn and wear light
clothing. Sunburn limits your body’s
ability to keep itself cool and causes
loss of body fluids. Use sunscreen
with a high SPF. Lighter-weight
clothing that is loose fitting and light
colored is more comfortable during
extreme temperatures. Use a hat to
keep your head cool.
•Give your body a break as the
heat wave can be stressful on your
body. Limit physical activity until
your body adjusts to the heat.
•Never leave children or pets in
cars. Temperatures inside a car can
reach more than 150 degrees quickly,
resulting in heat stroke and death.
•Use the “buddy system” if you’re
working outside, where could become confused or could lose consciousness if you suffer a heat-related
illness. Therefore, make sure someone else knows of your plans.

Department of Health’s website at

Riverside Diabetes Educator
Leads Food Lion Shopping Trip
Cruising down the aisles of a grocery store, especially when hungry,
can fuel the temptation to buy everything that’s chocolate-covered, frozen or freshly baked. For the majority
of people, that’s OK in moderation.
But for a person with diabetes, giving in to temptation can have serious
consequences.
On June 23, a handful of people who have diabetes or cook for
someone with diabetes attended an
in-store education class. Riverside

Home Health and Food Lion hosted
the Cape Charles education, along
with a similar class in the Food Lion
in Onley. Beverly Norris, a Riverside
registered nurse, certified diabetic
educator and certified health coach,
led patients through each aisle in the
stores to teach them about making
better food choices and reading labels to better live with diabetes.
Norris calls the event a “doctor favorite” because physicians find that
their patients learn real-life tactics for
improving their nutrition and thereby
improving their control of their disease.
An estimated 30 million Americans, nearly 10 percent of the population, live with diabetes, according to
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention’s National Diabetes
Statistics Report.
It’s not Thanksgiving or Christmas that will do a diabetic in, Norris
said. It’s the routine choices made the
other 363 days of the year. The family dinners. The birthday parties.
During the education with Norris,
diabetics learned that reading nutrition labels and watching portion sizes
are the keys to successfully controlling diabetes. Instead of restricting
certain foods forever, Norris empha-

sized that a food that maxes out one’s
carbohydrate limit can be balanced
out with other foods that have no
carbs, but diabetics must pay close
attention to achieve that balance.
Norris advises diabetics:
•To rely on nutrition labels, not the
front of the box, for nutrition information because labels detail calories,
saturated fats, trans fats and carbohydrates;
•That carbohydrates are complex
sugars and, given that diabetics need
to control their blood sugar, understanding how many to eat each day
is important. Women shouldn’t eat
more than 45 carbohydrates per meal,
and men, no more than 60. A 15-carb
snack and a 30-carb snack each day
can also be part of a healthy diet.
•To eat as many vegetables as possible, within reason. Beans, peas,
corn and potatoes need to be eaten
in moderation given their high starch
and carbohydrate content. Choose
fresh and frozen vegetables over
canned vegetables.
•To be cautious with fruits which,
though healthy, contain high carbohydrate levels. Eat fruits with other
foods, like an apple with a peanut
butter, to make the snack or meal
more well rounded.
•To taste the rainbow; the more

a healthy meal.
•Sugar-free does not mean healthy
or low-calorie. Regular cookies (vs.
sugar-free diet cookies) can often
have fewer carbohydrates.
•as a rule of thumb, clear salad
dressing is generally better than

with sugar to maintain flavor.

SPORTS
Dennis Winters Can Both Play and Teach the Game
he new golf pro at Eastern Shore
Yacht and Country Club is a player.
Club professionals aren’t always
the best player at their own course.
For one thing, they don’t play as much
as the public thinks, busy as they are
with running the pro shop. In addition, many club pros take that route
because they enjoy teaching the game
over competing on the course.
But Dennis Winters, now the pro at
Easter Shore Yacht & Country Club for
three months, has an impressive playing résumé that includes wins at major
events right up to being an alternate
for the U.S. Senior Open to be played
beginning July 10 at Oak Tree National in Edmond, Okla.
On June 19, Winters was one of 100
golfers competing for two spots in the
Open at a qualifier held at Back Creek
Country Club in Middletown, Del.
Winters’ round of 70 tied with three
others for the top spot, and he became
the second alternate in a playoff. “They
tell me my chances of getting in are pretty good because the field at my qualifying round was one of the largest in the
country among the 34 sites across the
country. I check the email every day for
any news,” said Winters, now 54 and a
well-known figure on the Delmarva Peninsula, having served as the club pro
at Nassawango in Snow Hill, Md., the
Lighthouse Sound in Ocean City, Md.,
and River Run Golf Club in Ocean City.
Winters grew up in an Air Force
family that moved frequently around
the country. But he settled on the
East Coast and played golf collegially
at the University of Maryland. That
was before well-known PGA pro Fred
Funk was the team’s coach, but Winters knows Funk well and also enjoys
close friendships with PGA player Phil
Blackmar and
tour
caddie
Mike Cowan,
better known
as Fluff, once
the caddie for
Tiger Woods.
Winters
played briefly
on the Nike
Tour,
now
the Web.com
Tour, the deWinters
velopmental
stage for the
U.S.-based PGA tour. Winters even
played one PGA tour event at the Anheiser-Busch Classic in Williamsburg,
Va. He also played the South African
and South American tours.
In 2000, he won the Maryland Open,
open to both amateur and professional
golfers, at the Columbia Country Club
in Chevy Chase. Prior to winning the
event, Winters had finished runner-up
in four of the five previous years. Funk
is a two-time winner of the event.
His biggest winning purse of $50,000
came in 1999 when he won the Toyota
Invitational, a Mid-Atlantic USGA Sectional event held at Four Streams Golf
Club in Beallsville, Md.
Seven years earlier, then an assistant pro at Eisenhower Golf Course,
he shot a final round 65 to win a MidAtlantic PGA Pro-Am Tournament at
Chestnut Ridge Country Club in Lutherville, Md.
Winters also won the Virginia Beach
Open over a 208-man field in 1992
by shooting a 65-69 at the Honeybee
Golf Course. He also won the pro-am
at Stumpy Lake that same weekend.
He was the runner-up at the Virginia
Beach Open both the year prior and after his victory.
Winters counts other Mid-Atlantic
Sectional events among his championships and also owns the course record
at River Run Golf Course in Ocean
City with a 63.
Raising a family and needing a
steady income steered Winters to the
life of a club pro. He and his wife have
three children, all currently enrolled
in college. Their twin daughters, Anne
and Catherine, attend the College of
Charleston. A younger son, Daniel, is at
Coastal Carolina in Conway, S.C. He is
the only serious golfer in the family.
For the time being, Winters is renting a place outside of Onancock while
his wife remains at their home in
Ocean City, Md., where she works for
the Outback Restaurant Corporation.
Winters’ theory on golf lessons is “to
teach what the good players do. Adam
Scott and Jim Furyk’s swings are nothing alike, but they both do some of the
same things that produce good results.
That’s what I try to teach … to have
a golfer learn a consistent swing that
works for him or her.”
Winters is on the advisory staff with
Taylor Made and held a Demo Day at the
club recently for the golf manufacturer
that is credited with introducing the metal driver in 1979 which now dominates
the market. “Their newest driver, the
SLDR, really produces incredible results.
Golfers were finding they drove the ball
15 to 20 yards further using the SLDR
over their own driver,” said Winters.
Winters said the biggest difference
in the game since he started playing
has been the improved equipment. “It’s
like, ‘Do you want to use a homing pigeon or high-grade technology?’ If you
are not using modern equipment, you
are at a disadvantage playing with
most golfers,” said Winters.
He is excited about the opportunity
at ESY&CC.
“The course is in the best condition
it has been in years,” he said. “Andrew
Howard, our greens superintendent,
has done a great job of getting the
course in a superb condition. Golfers
who haven’t played here for a while
are always telling me how surprised
they are to find the course in such good
shape,” said Winters.
The ESY&CC course, designed by
Ed Ault, opened in 1960 and marked
its 50th anniversary a few years ago.
The par 72 layout has bent grass
greens and Bermuda fairways and poses a challenge to golfers with its narrow fairways and water on numerous
holes. The course record is a 63 shot
by Jeff Shield. Winters’ best round at
ESY&CC thus far is a 67.
Winters, who knows most of the best
area golfers after being on the Delmarva Peninsula for decades, said, “There
are some very good golfers in the area,”
pausing in mid-interview to set up a
foursome the following day with Terry
White and two others.
“We want golfers to come see the
course. I think they will be pleased
with the condition,” said Winters, who
served as host to the H.B. Rew Eastern Shore Foundation Golf Tournament recently.
Having played many of the top courses worldwide, Winters counts Turnberry in Scotland, which has often hosted
the British Open, as his favorite.
He has had two invitations each to
play Pine Valley, rated by Golf Magazine as the top course in the world, and
Augusta, home to the Masters.
“I had events each time that conflicted with playing there, but I will
get there one day,” said Winters, who
has made a living at a game he loves
to play.

Bayside Poker Run Set for July 26; Turner, Crockett Art in Raffle
The Pungoteague Ruritan Club will
sponsor a small-boat “poker run” Saturday, July 26.
This eighth annual Bayside Poker
Run will be held on the waters of the
Chesapeake Bay and adjoining creeks
in the club’s community service area
from Onancock Creek to Occohannock
Creek. Any boat owner may register to
participate in the event, which is not a
race, but simply boaters choosing their
own course and pace to locate and visit
five pre-chosen locations designated on a
nautical chart with notes and guidelines.
Registration for the event is $75 and
captains may include as many crew
members aboard as Coast Guard regulations allow. Registration will be limited to the first 30 boats. Registration
forms, available from any Pungoteague
Ruritan member or by calling Paul
Custis at 789-1766, must be received
by July 19. They are also available at
Sandpiper Marine, Western Auto in Exmore, Shore Marine, Davis Wharf Marine, Don’s Tackle Shop, K&E Marine,

Additional “dock prize” drawings will
be held for fishing gear, boating accessories, and other marine items.
Complimentary hot dogs and hamburgers will be served during the
awards ceremony at a beach setting.
A raffle also will include a Willie
Crockett original painting and a Turner Sculpture Blue Crab V.
Proceeds from this event will benefit
the club’s scholarship program and its
handicapped access ramp project fund.
Bayside Kayak Paddle Debuts July 26
The Turner Sculpture Blue Crab V
will be raffled at the Poker Run.
Competition in the event will be in
two parts. The “navigational skill” part
will be for boaters to plot a course which
will enable them to “log in” at five specific locations within designated time
allowances. These locations will be
spread among Onancock, Pungoteague,
Nandua, and Occohannock creeks and
will be disclosed to all captains simultaneously at a meeting on the morning
of the event. Points in this competition
also will be earned in “Survivor”-type
challenges in various activities.

The Pungoteague Ruritan Club is
sponsoring the Bayside Kayak Paddle on
Saturday, July 26. The event begins with
a kayakers’ meeting at 11 a.m. and concludes with an awards cook-out at 5 p.m.
There will be two routes and each
kayaker can choose either a “short
course” within Nandua Creek or an
“expert course” that extends to the
bay and includes Butcher Creek. Each
boat’s actual run is determined by
the kayaker based on the parameters
and rules given at the morning meeting. The entry fee is $35 to benefit the
club’s community service projects.
A grand prize for finding locations
and picking up playing cards to present
the best poker hand is a gift certificate
of at least a $200 value to be awarded
during a creekside awards ceremony.
Grilled food and dock prizes will be featured during these festivities.
This paddle is being held on the same
day as the club’s power boat Poker Run,
but is a separate event. Entry forms are
available at SouthEast Expeditions in
Onancock at the wharf and all Pungo­
teague Ruritan Club members also
have entry information. You may also
call or email Paul Custis at 442-2931
or [email protected] for forms, email
entry or more information. Registration
after July 19 is $40. The weather date is
the following Saturday, Aug. 2.
Cobia Fishing Still Hot; Flounder Providing Seaside Action
Steve’s Bait and Tackle Photo
Rich Hansen landed this 24-inch,
4.12-pound flounder fishing near
the Four Mouths on Chincoteague.
Arthur will likely impact fishing
this weekend and for a few days beyond, but until then, cobia action was
dominating the lower bay fishing, with
both chummers and sight casters enjoying good activity with fish ranging
from 30 to 70 pounds in recent weeks.
The Latimer Shoals near buoys 13 and
16 has been a hot spot. Fresh cut bait
such s bunker and live bait are working for chummers.
Flounder action continues to pick up
at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel
with the third and fourth islands producing well.
Red drum are still being caught
along Fisherman’s Island for boats bottom fishing.
Spadefish are hanging around structures, although most are small, according to reports.
On the seaside, flounder fishing
has been holding up well in Wacha­
preague and Quinby. The incoming
tide has produced the best bite, jigging
or drifting a flounder rig tipped with a
Gulp and a minnow. Sand mullet are
stacked around the inlets, hitting on
bloodworms, shrimp and fish bites.
On Chincoteague, flounder are being caught in the sound, channels, and
surf.
Offshore fishing had good reports
this week for spadefish, trigger fish,
flounder, mahi, and tuna.
Spot, kingfish, bluefish and sharks
were being caught in the surf off Assateague.
From the Seahawk Sports Center
in Pocomoke, the reports are that cobia are being caught from the mouth
of the bay to Pocomoke Sound. There
are sea bass off Chincoteague and reds
from the surf to the shallows. Offshore,
shark fishermen are doing well.
The yellowfin tuna bite has slowed,
but a few bigeye tuna weighing in at
over 100 pounds are saving the day
for a few lucky boats. Scattered gaffer
mahi are offering some variety.

By Linda Cicoira
If I’ve learned anything in this life, it
is that attitude is every thing. Yes, that
old adage, “You catch more flies with
honey than vinegar,” is definitely true.
So recently, I decided to see how
many people would return my smile.
The results were phenomenal. The
grin is more contagious than a yawn
and so much better.
I was at a local grocery store, going
up and down the aisles getting supplies
and feeling happy and people were saying hello and beaming back. It was such
a simple experiment. It didn’t cost a
dime and everyone I saw participated.
It is hard to believe that in some cultures smiling is perceived in a negative
way as a sign of shallowness or dishonesty. According to an online encyclopedia, “Many people in the former Soviet
Union area consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even
suspicious behavior.”
Then there is the canine world
where showing teeth is most often a
threat or warning. In chimpanzees it
can be a sign of fear.
In humans, there are two basic
types of smiles. The natural smile was
named after French neurologist Guillaume Duchenne, who identified them.
“It’s not something you can fake,” according to his theory. “When you’re
forced to smile for photos, your eyes
don’t smile. It’s only when you truly
feel like smiling, that you flash a Duchenne. The eyes are essential for a genuine, warm smile.”
His smile involves muscles that
raise the corners of the mouth and the
cheeks and forms crow’s feet around
the eyes.

Outgoing Cape Charles Mayor
Recalls Town Memories
Dear Editor:
Fifteen years ago, we took a drive across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. We were not necessarily
looking for change, but rather to take a drive and
visit Cape Charles. We had read that it was a quiet
town on the water and homes were practically being
given away. At the time, we had two daughters in college and the youngest was finishing his senior year
of high school.
I think we knew it when we were half-way across
the bridge. It felt calm and beautiful. Driving through
town was a thrill in itself. People everywhere would
tip their hats as we drove by.
I think that change in town started when Councilman Larry Veber made a stink about investing in our
assets. He led the charge to spend money on our beach.
We took from Peter to pay Paul and never looked back.
Every time I visit the beach, I think of Larry.
The next big step was when a handful of citizens
(some who didn’t even live here full-time) decided
they wanted to have a park. They threw a party and
called it the Renovator’s Ball. You had to wear your
best renovator’s clothes. Steve Hairfield wore a toilet
seat around his neck and I was Queen of the Landfill
with a buzzard on my shoulder! What fun that was
and they raised so much money. Year after year, the
So why am I always putting face
cream on my crow’s feet? From now on
this is a badge of honor! I dare the rest
of you to work those muscles and make
those wrinkles.
I read that some researchers believe
genuine smiles “are clear windows into a
person’s core disposition.” Two Berkeley
psychologists analyzed college yearbook
photos and found those who displayed
“true Duchenne-worthy expressions of
positive emotion in their 21-year-old
photo had greater levels of general wellbeing and marital satisfaction at age 52.”
Whatever!
“People photograph each other with
casual ease and remarkable frequency,
usually unaware that each snapshot
may capture as much about the future
as it does the passing emotions of the
moment,” the researchers wrote in a
2001 issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
There was another study that involved professional baseball players
whose photos were in a 1952 publication. The smiles there were rated and
ball was held and at some point the group asked the
town to match what it had collected. Take a look at
the park today and you can thank that small group
of people followed by a devoted small town’s citizens
to get it done!
So Cape Charles now had a great public beach
and a stellar park. What would be next? We didn’t
have to go looking because it came to us. We were
directed by the federal government to build a new
wastewater treatment plant. We now have a stateof-the art treatment plant which was funded largely
by grants. The cost was $19.5 million and $14 million
was received in grant funding, which amounted to 72
percent. The remainder was financed by the town at
0 percent. You can’t do any better than that!
Next came the redevelopment of Cape Charles
Town Harbor. Two breakwater sections were built in
2010, followed by construction of the floating slips in
2011 and the harbor bath house in 2012. The town
also leased a portion of the harbor property for a restaurant and The Shanty opened in 2012.
The town also worked with representatives from
the Virginia Department of Housing and Community
Development (VDHCD), the Accomack-Northampton Planning District Commission, and the Eastern
Shore of Virginia Broadband Authority to bring a fiber optic network to the Eastern Shore, from Wallops
Island to Virginia Beach. This work was completed
with a Community Improvement Grant from the
VDHCD. The work on the broadband connection was
completed in 2012. As part of this grant, the town
acquired 20 computers and computer stations for a
computer lab at Cape Charles Memorial Library.
each player’s age at death was determined. Those scientists “found that
smile intensity could explain 35 percent of the variability in survival … in
any given year, players with Duchenne
smiles in their yearbook photo were
only half as likely to die.”
That means if you give more fullforce smiles, you will live longer!
My former customers put lots of
smiles on my face recently. June 23
marked the 25th anniversary of the
video store I co-owned in the Shenandoah Valley. When I made the announcement on Facebook, I heard
from dozens of people, many of whom
I watched grow up.
Another way to make me smile is to
vote for my photo in the Southern Living “Share Your South Photo Contest.”
At this writing, I am ranking fourth
with a picture of a hummingbird. I
sure would like to win. Here’s the link
www.southernliving.com/travel/share
-your-south-photo-contest
Vote for this Eastern Shore woman
who smiles at you in the grocery store.
None of the above was here in 2000 and so I call
Cape Charles the little engine that could. I leave office with the town in very secure hands of people
always optimistic about her future and vision.
No matter who you are or where you live, the harbor is yours to walk about or just sit and smell the
salt air. The library and museum are yours to read or
study our history. The beach and the park are yours to
relax and enjoy family time. And all are within walking distance of each other. We are truly a unique town
that has so much to offer our citizens and visitors.
I began my public service career in 2002 on Town
Council and was elected Mayor in 2006. Thank you
for a wonderful 12 years! I look forward to seeing
everyone in my retirement years!

Shore License Plate Will Now
Support Local Businesses
Dear Editor:
In 1997, the Eastern Shore of Virginia license
plate was an ESVA Chamber of Commerce initiative
to promote our area. The chamber board and one of
its members, Mr. David Turner, designed the plate,
submitted it through the approval process with the
Department of Motor Vehicles and facilitated the
legislative initiative necessary to get the plate made
and into circulation.
The ESVA license plate was to increase visibility
for our region and promote business in the area. After the first few years, the price of the plate was to
July 4, 2014 • Eastern Shore Post • 39
increase from $10 to $25 and the funds were to support chamber business activities on the Shore. This
increase never happened. While the ESVA License
Plate was only an additional $10, other revenuesharing plates throughout the commonwealth were
$25. The $10/plate goes into the DMV funds in Richmond and nothing was coming back to the Shore.
Now the cost of this plate has been brought in line
with the others ($25) and the additional $15/plate
will come back to the Shore through the nonprofit
ESVA Chamber Foundation, a 501(c) 3 whose mission is to educate, support, and promote businesses
on the Eastern Shore.
The emphasis of this foundation is that this funding will be coming back to the Shore, whereas now,
none of it comes to the Shore. Funds will be used for
business seminars and used to support businesses,
especially for development and growth.
Some specific activities and undertakings of the
foundation, include: (1) financing, sponsoring, publishing, promoting and distributing research on issues important to the businesses of the Eastern
Shore; (2) providing educational forums that impact
businesses of the Eastern Shore; (3) sponsoring activities and research projects to promote the economy of the Eastern
Shore; and (4) awarding scholarships to current and future business
leaders to further their education
for business, economic, workplace
and other purposes.
The end result is that every dollar goes to help the businesses of the Eastern Shore
of Virginia. The impact of this business support will
be a stimulus for our rural economy.
Owning an ESVA license plate is voluntary and
shows our pride for our special community. Now
proudly displaying our unique plate displays that
we are showing grassroots support for our business
community. What better way to “Shop Local”?!

ESVA Chamber of Commerce
Habitat Event Owes Its
Success to Many
Dear Editor:
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Eastern
Shore Habitat for Humanity Affiliate, I would like to
take this opportunity to say “Thank You” to the citizens of the Eastern Shore who helped make our 25th
Anniversary Gala such a success. Sycamore Bend offered a great venue for the event. Mallards at the
Wharf and Heavenly Creations provided great food,
and wine was provided by Chatham Vineyards.
Countryside Auctions sold the bid items donated
by 31 artisans and merchants of the Eastern Shore.
The Franktown United Methodist Singers provided
inspirational music and Basket and Bows Floral Design was the source of beautiful table decorations.
The Boards of Supervisors of Accomack and Northampton counties
declared June as Habitat Month and
Del. Bob Bloxom had a joint Resolution approved by the legislature in
Richmond.
The close to $26,000 raised will be
used to complete our 41st house and
begin our 42nd home for worthy homeowners.
Finally, thanks to the approximately 140 persons
who brought tickets and attended the event.
G. Wayne Parsley, Vice President

Eastern Shore Most Assuredly
Has Its Own ‘Rising Star’
Dear Editor:
I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate the
Eastern Shore’s own talented singer, Deedra Ervin.
This local native stood honor last Sunday in her
dress uniform and placed the Eastern Shore on the
maps during an episode of ABC’s “Rising Star.” Deedra sang proudly with her heart and soul as hundreds of Eastern Shore locals stood by waiting to
place their vote of support.
I count myself very lucky to know her personally.
Although the odds weren’t in Deedra’s favor
this time around, it does not take credit from her
unique and amazing talent. I will always remember when Deedra’s voice led my family through our
darkest hour.
Two years ago when we lost our father suddenly
and began to prepare a service in his honor, I knew
immediately I wanted someone to sing “Amazing
Grace” and I turned to Deedra, who instantly told me
it would be an honor. To this day, my family is grateful for Deedra and how her beautiful voice brought
us light when we couldn’t find it ourselves. Deedra
made time stand still for those moments as she sang
to us.
Deedra, I want you to know from my family to you
that we love you, we support you, and mostly we are
proud of you! Keep up the hard work and remember
God has a plan for all his children. You did an amazing job, Deedra!
