Shooting Death
of 35-Year-Old
Ruled Homicide
By Linda Cicoira
The recent shooting death in Gargtha of
a former Eastern Shore man with family
ties to that area is being investigated as a
homicide.
Steven (Lil Scrappy) E. Pettit, 35, of Salisbury, Md., was found dead from a gunshot
wound to the head at 10:45 a.m. Thursday,
Dec. 5, according to a prepared statement released by State Police Sgt. Michelle Anaya.
State Police received a report that an unresponsive driver had run into a house on the
27000 block of Gargatha Landing Road, not
far from Lankford Highway. Pettit’s body was
found in a 2006 Lexus that he was driving,
Anaya said. The residence was not occupied
when the incident occurred.
Pettit’s cousin said police had two suspects in custody and that they were riding in the back seat of the vehicle and had
robbed Pettit.
“This is an active ongoing criminal investigation,” Anaya said Wednesday. “Any information published can hinder this investigation and prohibit the agent from making an
arrest. Details about the incident will not be
released at this time.”
Donna Price of the Medical Examiner’s Office in Norfolk confirmed Wednesday that the
cause of death was a gunshot wound to the
head and the manner of death was a homicide.
According to his obituary, Pettit was born
in Tacoma, Wash., and educated in Accomack
County Public Schools. The father of two
sons, he was buried Sunday.

First Med Ambulance Service
Closes Doors Without Notice

“Clearly the best”

By Linda Cicoira
A week before emergency medical technician (EMT) David Adams of
Eagle Sound Estates lost his job, he
heard the buzz about the possible closure of the private ambulance service
for which he worked.
He discounted the talk after being assured by his boss there was nothing to
it. “Don’t believe the rumors until you
are told by me,” the supervisor advised.
So, when Adams worked his usual
24-hour shift for First Med, Inc. last
Friday, he never imagined it would be
the last.
Saturday evening, exactly a week before his 57th birthday, Adams got the
news of the layoff. “Happy Birthday
and Merry Christmas to me,” he said
in a telephone interview Monday night.
Nicole Colburn of Guilford worked
for the company for four years. She basically learned of the closure on the social network Facebook.
“This affects 2,300 employees in six
states,” she said. “We were the 4th largest ambulance company in the nation.
I’m not sure how you go from that to
closing the doors. It was a shock.”
Colburn said that in retrospect, the
warnings were there. In the previous
weeks, employees were notified that
insurance coverage had not been paid.
They got a second letter the same day
informing them that the insurance had
been paid. “They blew it off as a computer glitch,” she said.
Then holiday pay was reduced from
eight hours for those who had off for
Thanksgiving to no pay for those who
didn’t work the holiday and from double-time to time-and-a-half for those
who worked.
Colburn said there were several ambulances that had to be repaired but the
garage wouldn’t release them because
“we heard they couldn’t pay the bill.”
Then there was talk that the company
had to take out a bank loan for payroll.
Adams and about 30 fellow employees from the Nassawadox branch of the
company applied for unemployment
benefits Monday. Their five ambulances
now sit idle just across the street from
Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital.
They will no longer transport resi-
dents to and from dialysis or doctors’
appointments. They also won’t be taking those who don’t have other transportation home from the hospital.
Adams said the company also transferred patients to other facilities where
more care could be provided. Children’s
Hospital of the King’s Daughters was a
frequent destination. And those who reside at assisted living homes like Quail
Run, Riverside Rehabilitation or Heritage Hall also rely on the service.
Local rescue squads will not be able
to take up the slack, Adams said. “The
volunteer companies’ role is to take
people to the hospital,” not to give them
a lift home.
Employees met with the company
early Monday afternoon. They were
informed the business would file for
bankruptcy under Chapter 7, which is
also called straight or liquidation bankruptcy. It will not be reorganized.
“There is a little bit of fear that I won’t
get paid,” Adams said. “They swore up
and down that we would be.” He said paychecks are usually issued every week. He
expects the final one today. Adams’ position was the most basic of EMT posts.
He was making $9.30 an hour, 48 hours
a week, for about $400. “That’s make or
break for some people,” he said.
“I will be shocked if I get a direct
deposit on Friday,” said Colburn. “If no
one is working, there’s no one to do payroll,” she said.
Married for 34 years with grown children, Adams is one of the lucky ones in
that his wife has a good job purchasing
telecommunications for a defense contractor.
“It’s just the two of us sitting here
at the house in Atlantic,” he said. “Now
we’re going to have to figure out how to
sell it. Obviously there’s no work here
for me now.”
Colburn is an EMT Intermediate,
which means she can provide advance
life support. She also is working for Accomack Public Safety on a part-time basis and is in line for one of three full-time
positions that were just established.
But there are plenty of others who
have to pay bills and aren’t sure how
they will manage.
“We’re just all devastated, we re-

ally are,” said Arlene Bell of Melfa. “I
worked Saturday. We kind of refused
to go home. We made sure our patients
got into dialysis and back out. They
all became like family to us. Those are
the ones I feel sorry for.” About 15 local
folks used First Med to get to dialysis.
Bell’s daughter, Brittany Buckner,
also worked for the company. “She has
three children,” said Bell. “Her husband
was shipped to Kuwait. He’s in the
Army. I not only have to worry about
me, I have to worry about them too.”
John Hilton, an EMT-Enhanced was
a lieutenant with the company. “I’ve
been there almost 12 years” — not
long after the business, Eastern Shore
Ambulance, was established off the
dining room table of husband and wife,
Dennis and Margaret Taylor, formerly
of Sanford, in 1988.
That company expanded to Portsmouth, said Hilton. It was eventually
sold to FirstMed. “A lot of the people
who worked in the Portsmouth office
live over there. Some were from here
originally.” He guessed another 30 to
35 worked from that base.
“I’m lost right now. I’m used to getting up and going to work,” Hilton said.
He estimated that there were between
15 and 20 road personnel and 10-15 office workers in Accomac and Nassawadox. “Right now, some of the upper-level
management might be still working” to
get an inventory of assets together for
the bankruptcy.
“I really don’t know what totally
happened,” Hilton said.
Adams said he heard a lot of money
was dumped into a new company that
was purchased in Ohio. He doesn’t expect to find another job on the Shore
as an EMT. Besides working for government public safety departments in
Accomack and Northampton counties,
there’s only one private ambulance service left on the Shore. “Several of us have
gone over to apply at Virginia Lifeline
Ambulance of Chincoteague,” he added.
Hilton is hopeful that a couple of
companies from “across the bay” will
step up. “I may try to apply for one. I
was one of the higher levels of pay (and)
will have to take a cut.”
“It wasn’t a bad job, Hilton continued. “We knew our patients. We saw
them at least three times a week, sometimes more. We would kid around a lot.
It had its trying times … but it could
also be a fun time.”
“I feel confident there will be other
companies to do the non-emergency
transports,” Accomack’s Public Safety
Director Jeff Terwilliger said Tuesday.
“Is it possible that a 911-unit will be
used on an extreme situation” to transport a patient to another facility?” he
said. “That could happen. I don’t anticipate it being great on us. More calls
are possible. We’ll continue to monitor
it and make adjustments if necessary.”
“So far it has not affected us,” said Susan McAndrews, vice president of strategic development for Riverside Shore
Memorial Hospital. She said another
company, Medical Transport of Virginia
Beach, would take patients where they
need to go. “So far they’ve been helping
us out,” McAndrews noted.

Some require a lifetime of medica-

We heart moms may seem overprotective of our kids when it comes to illness, but what is a simple cold to your
child can be disastrous to ours.
We have watched our child on the
brink of death, been told to say our

I can’t help but think what a miracle
she is.
Every CHD child has a different
story, no matter how similar the heart
defect. Unfortunately, scientists do not
know all of the causes for CHD. A lot
of people think that mothers or fathers
must have done something wrong to
cause their children’s hearts to be malformed. That is seldom the case. There
are some known illnesses, medical conditions and drugs which can increase
the risk of having a child with a heart
defect, but most of the time, the doctors
don’t know why our children are born
with heart defects.
CHD is the number one birth defect;
nearly one out of every 100 babies is
born with a CHD, the leading cause
Accomack Looks to New Wastewater Treatment Demands
By Linda Cicoira
Accomack officials want to build a
wastewater treatment system at the Industrial Park in Melfa that would handle 100,000 gallons per day and serve
areas between there and Accomac.
The cost is estimated at $3.25 million and would include service for the
new hospital in Onley and disposal on
about 85 acres beside the fire-training
center on Beacon Road.
The effluent would be discharged below the tilling level. Accomack Director
of Public Works Stewart Hall said the
affected farm was most recently planted with soybeans.
Late last week, county supervisors
unanimously agreed to apply for permits
from the Virginia Department of Health
that would allow for a treatment system
to utilize the “existing force main” (in reverse) with start-up within a year.
“We have to perform due diligence,”
said Supervisor Robert Crockett. “We
need an option in case things don’t
work out with Onancock.”
Because the Town of Onancock’s plant
discharges into the Chesapeake Bay, the
Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ) regulates operations there.
County officials contend regulations
for that system are likely to become
more stringent which, in turn, would
cause fees to be raised. The current
rate with the town is $15.47 per 1,000
gallons. Engineers told the county
board that the new system could do the
job for $8 per 1,000 gallons, an annual
savings of about $272,000.
Onancock Mayor Russell Jones,
Councilman T. Lee Byrd and Manager G. Cabell Lawton IV attended last
week’s board of supervisors session, but
did not speak publicly about the issue.
Crockett, who lives near the town
treatment plant and represents the
surrounding district, wondered what
would happen if the town offered a better deal. He was told the permit is good
for five years.
A breakdown of estimated costs for
the new operation includes $1.4 million
for wastewater treatment, $600,000
for disposal, $290,000 for transmission
piping, more than $200,000 for engineering, $300,000 for a lift station and
$50,000 for a generator.
In other business, the supervisors
voted unanimously to save a total of
about $156,000 by taking advantage “of
historic lows in interest rates.” Refinancing is set to close by Dec. 19. The plan is
to go from 3 percent to 1.66 percent on
literary loans and from 3.06 percent to
2.93 percent on social services building
bonds. The total amount to be refinanced
is nearly $7 million. The Economic Development Authority and the School
Board will be asked to approve the plan
later this month. The latter panel will be
asked to authorize a school for collateral
for the literary loan.
Special Election for Northam’s
State Senate Seat Set for Jan. 7
Gov. Bob McDonnell has set Jan. 7,
2014, as the date for the special election to fill the seat of state Sen. Ralph
Northam, who was elected lieutenant
governor and is resigning from the
Senate, effective Jan. 11.
“The 6th District of Virginia has
greatly benefited from Senator Ralph
Northam’s representation over the
last five years,” said McDonnell.
“Ralph will now go on to serve all Virginians as lieutenant governor when
he succeeds my great friend, Bill Bolling. In light of the 2014 General Assembly Session beginning on January
8th, it is critical that we quickly fill
this vacancy … to ensure that voters
are represented as soon as practicable. Therefore, I have called this election for January 7th.”
Vying for Northam’s seat are current Democratic state Del. Lynwood
Lewis of Accomac and Republican Norfolk businessman Wayne Coleman.
Northampton Looks To Survival Without ER
By Ron West
Northampton supervisors heard
Tuesday from former Supervisor Spencer Murray on alternatives for providing emergency care after Riverside
Shore Memorial Hospital shuts its
doors in Nassawadox and moves to a
new facility in Onley in two years.
Murray presented the findings of
the Ad-Hoc Emergency Care Committee charged with studying the issue.
He reported that despite efforts to locate a site for an emergency facility
in Northampton County to save what
could be a long trip to the new hospital,
that option would likely be far too expensive without some form of outside
financial assistance. Instead, ambulances could be forced to head south to
a Hampton Roads hospital.
The committee recommends a minimum of 15 medics and two ambulances
be added to the county’s Emergency
Medical Services to handle anticipated
increased emergency calls and length
of transport. The impact on the county
budget would be just under $700,000
for salaries and benefits.
The need to provide at least three
helicopter landing sites for transport
of serious cases will add to the county’s
cost as well.
The committee recommends providing night and weekend care by a physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner
and then adding services over time.
The supervisors agreed to extend
the ad-hoc committee’s deadline for a
final report to Feb. 11, 2014.
County Voting Registrar Terry Fly-
nn reported that the recount for the
state attorney general’s race would
be conducted locally on Dec. 17 at the
courthouse. The public can observe the
process, but will be required to stay
out of the way. Representatives of each
candidate will be in attendance.
Providing the supervisors with a
final update of the 2013 Tall Ships
weekend visit to Cape Charles, Dave
Steward reported that 7,000 to 8,000
individuals visited the harbor from
June 14-16, when the ships were in the
harbor. He said Cape Charles received
substantial income from the visitors.
The county provided funding to assist in drawing the ships to the county.
Steward urged the supervisors to do
the same for a similar event scheduled
for June 14-15, 2014.
Northampton Schools Superintendent Dr. Walter Clemons addressed
a question posed by the supervisors
at their November session regarding
staffing and salaries. He noted that
it is important to insure that teacher
salaries are competitive to facilitate
retention. Supervisor Oliver Bennett,
a Northampton teacher himself, asked
how long it had been since county teachers had received a step increase in pay,
to which Dr. Clemons responded that it
had been five years. Bennett noted that
the new elected school board has indicated that it sees step increases as an
important agenda item for 2014.

New Museum in Onancock
Photo by Linda Cicoira
Wanda Guy, a member of the Board of Directors of the Waterman’s Museum of Virginia’s Eastern Shore, shows off a picture of her parents,
the late Phyllis June Smith and George Fosque Smith, which is part of
the museum exhibit that will open Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at
the former Onancock School. The couple were at the Onancock Harbor
aboard the vessel, Regenia, which was built by Guy’s grandfather. Capt.
George Smith, was a waterman all his life. Of the photo, Guy said, “He
was where he loved to be, on his boat, and she was where she loved to
be, on his back.” The two were married for 58 years. About 1,600 photos
and other artifacts are among the memorabilia donated from across the
Shore that will be on display. Prior to this opening, the collection was
used as a traveling museum with Professor Paul Ewell, a Shore native
and instructor at Virginia Wesleyan College in Norfolk.

Aaron Troussaint Davis, 46, of Cooper Lane in Accomac was given 10
years in prison for grand larceny from
Walmart in Onley in March and five
years for felony shoplifting. Davis also
was sentenced in Accomack Circuit
Court to 12 months in jail for receiving stolen property on March 11. That
term was set to run consecutively with
the others. All but time served was
suspended.
Harry Earl Pinkard, also known as
Peaches, 46, of New Church pleaded
guilty to eluding police on Nov. 24,
2012. He also pleaded no contest
to possession of cocaine on July 20,
2013. A count of driving after having been declared a habitual offender
on Nov. 24, 2012, was not prosecuted. Pinkard was remanded to jail to
await sentencing.
Bond was increased from $15,000
to $75,000 for Christopher T. Bonniwell, 43, of Hacksneck, who is free on
charges of forcible rape and violating
a protective order. The incidents allegedly occurred in November. Bonniwell
is to have no contact with the alleged
victim.
David James Tull, 31, of Oxford
Street in Pocomoke City, Md., pleaded
guilty to two felonies and a misdemeanor charge of embezzlement at
Asplundh Tree Expert Company, occurring between 2010 and 2011. A presentence report was ordered. Tull is
free on bond.

Northampton Circuit Court
A Machipongo man who used a vehicle as a weapon during a drunken
crime spree was sentenced Monday in
Northampton Circuit Court to 46 years
in prison, with all but three years suspended.
Judge W. Revell Lewis III gave
Christopher Tazewell, 30, of Seaside
Road five years each for three counts
of unlawful wounding, to run concurrently, with four years suspended; a
12-month suspended term for assault
and battery; a five-year suspended
term each for hit and run and destruction of property; five years each for two
counts of reckless disregard for life
of a child, with four years suspended;
five years for a third DUI, with all
but six months suspended; five years
for a third offense of driving without
a license, with all but six months suspended; and a $1,000 fine for DUI.
Witnesses told Trooper B.D. Kennedy that Tazewell struck a car that
had stopped just north of B&B Market
at the corner of Lankford Highway and
Machipongo Drive on March 11.
The defendant’s 3-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old child were riding
in the back of the vehicle he was driving. He is accused of stealing it several days earlier. It belongs to Ayisha
Vann, the mother of the younger child.
Tazewell was arrested at the nearby
market where it took three officers to
restrain him, Kennedy reported.
Tazewell, a trusty at Eastern Shore
Regional Jail, apologized. He admitted
he has a drinking problem and said he
is in Alcoholic Anonymous classes at
the facility.
“It’s unfortunate that the time
you’ve spent in jail over the years has
not gotten your attention,” Lewis said.
“You just haven’t gotten the message
that you can’t do this stuff. You need
to be taken out of society for awhile
… you seem like a nice guy … you
need to be put away so you won’t hurt
someone else.”
Tazewell was on probation when the
most recent crimes occurred. A prison
term of a year and five months was reimposed for assault and battery of a
family member.
Corey A. Beckett, 34, of Tasley
pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with the intent to distribute
cocaine on April 23. Sentencing was
deferred pending completion of a presentence report.
Judgment was withheld for a year
in accordance with First Offender Status for Frederick Eugene Walker, 55, of
Exmore who pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine. He was ordered to stay
drug free for a year while submitting
to random screenings, and perform
100 hours of community service.
Amy Sue Duer, 22, of Exmore was
sentenced to five years each for creditcard theft and credit-card forgery and
12 months for petty larceny, to run concurrently. All time was suspended.
Gerome Jay Hudson Jr., 63, of Norfolk was sentenced to five years each
for two counts of credit-card fraud and
a count of credit-card theft, to run concurrently, with all but 11 months suspended. He was ordered to pay $374
restitution.

Accused Arsonist Denied Bond and Change of Venue
By Linda Cicoira
Accused arsonist Tonya Susan Bundick will spend
the holidays in Eastern Shore Regional Jail in accordance with a ruling made Wednesday by Judge Glen
A. Tyler in Accomack Circuit Court. The first of two
trials and a hearing regarding evidence were set for
January.
Bundick, wearing a dark-blue, short-sleeved jailhouse jumpsuit that indicated the cellblock where
she is being held, took the witness stand to ask Tyler
to move her trial to Emporia, Va., where she contended she would get a fair trial, and to set bond for additional charges that were made earlier this month.
In October, Tyler agreed to move the proceedings to Virginia Beach, which is in the same circuit
as Accomack. He reasoned it would be hard to find
residents of the Eastern Shore to serve who aren’t
relatives or friends of victims, police officers or firefighters associated with dozens of fires deliberately
set between November 2012 and April 2013.
But the 40-year-old mother of two wanted to go
even farther away. She asked Tyler to move the proceedings to Emporia because of what she said was
negative publicity from television and newspapers in
Hampton Roads.
“A lot of video that was broadcast centered on me
… that I was the one who started the whole thing …
I will not get a fair trial,” she complained of a confes-
sion made by Charles Robert Smith III and televised
in the area. “It just put an image out there that people are going to remember without adequate proof.”
Smith was Bundick’s fiancé at the time of the arsons.
In late October, Tyler informally appointed Allan
Zaleski of Norfolk to represent Bundick after her initial lawyers were removed due to a conflict of interest. Zaleski and his son, Alexander Christopher Zaleski, were appointed officially Wednesday, although
the state will only pay the elder Zaleski.
Allan Zaleski asked Tyler to watch a DVD of the
Smith’s broadcast before making a decision. Tyler accepted the disc into evidence, but said he would not
watch it because it wasn’t relevant.
“Widespread publicity was not behind the first
change of venue,” Commonwealth’s Attorney Gary
Agar said. “You can still question prospective jurors,”
he continued, arguing that reports were made as far
as Beijing and London. “How will you escape publicity?” he asked.
Tyler agreed. “They would have had to try O.J. in
Borneo (southeast Asia)” based on that concept, he said.
Agar was opposed to bond for Bundick. She was free
on $30,000 secured bond for the first two charges —
arson and conspiracy — in connection with an April
1, 2013, fire. On Dec. 2, when a Grand Jury indicted
her on 62 counts of deliberately setting fires, including
one at a local church, Bundick said she waited at the
bail bondsman’s office to hear what the jury decided.
When she got the news, she turned herself in.
Zaleski asked that the initial bond be continued
and that Bundick be released on her own recognizance for the other charges. “The best test of her danger to the community” and possible flight risk “has
been assessed,” he said.
Agar argued she should remain in jail because
she could face a lifetime in prison. “Her potential for
leaving the area is very great,” he said, noting that
she is unemployed and her children are in the care
of others.
Bundick said she had been living in Parksley with
family who provided her with room and board, that
she helped those and other family members and that
she had income-tax return money to assist her.
Tyler said he set the bond because after a while,
it appeared that more charges were not going to be
filed. “Now circumstances are entirely different.”
The judge postponed making a decision regarding
Zaleski’s motion to keep information about the later
charges from the trial for the alleged April 1 crimes.
Agar was opposed because he “must prove knowledge or (a) scheme.” But, Tyler said, he needs “to
know what the commonwealth plans to introduce.”
A hearing on that motion was set for 1:15 p.m. Jan. 9
in Accomack. Bundick’s first trial was scheduled for
Jan. 13 and 14 in Virginia Beach.

Trial Rescue
Program Proves
Successful
By Linda Cicoira
Emergency medical response has improved in northern Accomack and county officials plan on keeping it that way.
Public Safety Director Jeff Terwilliger reported late last week that in
October, all areas in Accomack complied with the Board of Supervisors’
standard of getting a unit on-scene
within 20 minutes at least 90 percent
of the time.
The success was attributed to a
$40,000 trial program that used paid
workers and county equipment that
was stationed in the area. Supervisors
voted unanimously to make it a permanent program, which includes hiring three additional employees.
Prior to the change, Greenbackville Volunteer Fire Department had
not met the standard since June 2010
when compliance was obtained twice
in the entire year.

Let’s Get Real!
Story and photo by Ron West
ow many times have you found yourself looking at the cost of things for your family and
thinking, “Get Real! It can’t cost that much”?
How much does a house cost? Why do I need insurance if I’m only renting that house?
These and dozens of other questions were being
asked by 80 ninth graders from Broadwater Academy and Northampton High School at the county’s
annual Reality Store, conducted recently in Machipongo. Coordinated by the Northampton County
Extension service and 4-H program, the event features booths to “sell” a variety of life’s necessities
to students suddenly thrust into the role of being
an adult. Most had to grapple with how to provide
food for their family, daycare, and a multitude of
other things that quickly caused their “paychecks”
to evaporate.
While some students received the welcome news
that they were a teacher, lawyer, or doctor, others
were told they were slinging burgers because they
dropped out of school and quickly became parents.
Welcome to life.
After being assigned their role in life, students
stopped by the “bank” to get their first month’s “pay.”
Many were surprised when the amount at the left
did not equal the one on the right. “I thought you

said I was getting paid $2,500 per month?” “Yes,”
they were told, “but that’s before taxes and other deductions. Now you only bring home $1,700, and you
need a place to live, food to eat, transportation, and
much more for your family.”
As students wound their way through the labyrinth of booths, they watched their meager funds
disappear. Some found they had to downgrade from
a shiny new Mustang to a used car or from buying
a three-bedroom home to renting a one-bedroom
apartment.
The process did cause some students to think cre-

atively. Two even figured out that they could save
money by renting a two-bedroom apartment as
roommates rather than going it alone.
One thing emphasized by the many workers in
the various booths was the need to stay in school as
long as possible to prepare for a well paying job. Most
were handed a card at some point in the day that
was either good news or bad news. “Hi, you attended
night classes at the Community College and are getting a raise” or “Congratulations, you are going to
have another child.”

Fantastic Finishes in Sports Evoke Memories
sometimes wonder what my life
would be like if I didn’t enjoy sports so
much.
Maybe I would be able to restore a
vintage car or do some home improvement projects around the house. If I
used the time I devote to sports to other pursuits, I might be able to converse
about the best wines or know considerably more about the stock market.
Then there is the cost of being a
sports lover. Golfers need the newest
driver even though the garage has a bag
stuffed with perfectly good clubs, fishermen buy the hottest lures although the
tackle box is overflowing with every color under the rainbow, and hunters want
shotguns that reach that extra 10 yards
when the trusty double barrel sits in
the gun cabinet collecting dust.
Like a popular song on the airways
states, “It’s not easy to be me.”
Not that I’m seeking sympathy for my
obsession — some might say addiction
— because participating in and following
sports got me this job, which I truly enjoy.
But you would think that after
watching two high-school games on
a Friday night, I would turn to something else on the weekend.
And yet, this past weekend when
the weather was plain awful — that is
a relative description when compared
to our northern neighbors — I found
myself channel surfing a variety of college football games, college basketball,
golf and NFL football.
To prove I don’t go all in on sports, I
don’t do the NBA until late in the playoffs, and I never watch hockey.
Feeding my addiction is a free season
of NFL Ticket, enabling me to watch every NFL game each weekend. With my
Redskins so woeful this year, I am free
to search for the best games on the tube.
Sunday had some fantastic finish-
es. In the Raven-Vikings game, there
were five touchdowns in the last two
minutes and five seconds, the Patriots
scored two touchdowns in the last 1:01
and still had to survive a last second
field-goal attempt, and the Steelers
almost pulled off a miracle play by
laterally passing the ball for 75 yards
for the winning score, only to have the
runner ruled to have stepped out of
bounds at the 13-yard-line.
There was a 64-yard field goal in
Denver that broke a longtime record
held by a number of kickers, including
my favorite, Tom Dempsey, who did it
with half a foot back in 1970.
Mixed in there this weekend was
Zach Johnson holing an 85-yard wedge
shot on the final hole to force a playoff
with Tiger Woods, won by Johnson.
Speaking of fantastic finishes, a
high-school student asked me this
week if the recent Auburn return of a
missed field goal to beat Alabama in
the last second of the game was the
best finish to a game I ever saw.
That’s a tough question. I was born the
same year Bobby Thompson hit the “Shot
Heard Around the World” to give the Giants the pennant over the Dodgers, so I
obviously don’t recall that moment.
But I did witness the Immaculate
Reception by Franco Harris of the
Steelers to beat Oakland, the Hail Mary
by Boston College’s Doug Flutie, the
improbable dunk by Lorenzo Charles
to give N.C. State a national championship, Michael Jordan’s iconic pose
after hitting the game winner against
Utah, Carlton Fisk’s shot off the foul
pole in Boston to win a World Series
game, and Duke’s Christian Laettner’s
buzzer beater to beat Kentucky.
Fantastic finishes can be flavored by
the team you root for. Home runs by Yankees Chris Chambliss and Aaron Boone
to win playoff series recall more pleasant memories to me than Bill Mazeros-
ki’s game winner over my Yanks in 1960,
a shot I saw as a 9-year-old who stayed
home from school that day to watch the
seventh game of the World Series.
Not a good day for me, as my mother
will attest.
The first person I thought of when
Chris Davis sailed 109 yards after Alabama attempted to win the game with
a 57-yard field goal, only to have the
lumbering Bama linemen futilely try
to tackle Davis on his victory run, was
my golfing buddy Charlie Cameron.
Charlie is all about Auburn. Callers to his cell phone are greeted by the
Auburn fight song, his head covers for
his golf clubs tout Auburn, and almost
every par putt that drops is celebrated
with a “War Eagle” shout.
Charlie said that after the Auburn
win, he awoke that night every few
hours and could only giggle about the
outcome. Sports fans know the feeling.
That’s why, as an avid Duke basketball fan — I probably root for two of
the most hated teams in sports in the
Yanks and Dukies — I still rate Laettner’s shot as the best finish ever.
Charlie, who was in Alabama watching the Auburn game on TV with family
this Thanksgiving weekend, shared with
me an item from that memorable game.
By the next day, they were selling
T-shirts with the score of the game on
one side and the message, “Hey Nick,
have you got a second?” on the back.
There’s nothing like a great rivalry
to ramp up the sweetness of a great
finish if you are on the right side.
To me, sports is so much better than
reality TV or drama shows because
you can’t script this stuff. People would
never believe it.
One of the best inventions for the
modern sports viewer is the DVR.
In the typical football game there are
only about 12 or 13 minutes of actual
football action in a three-hour game.
Many times I record the game and
watch it without commercials or waiting for the players to snap the ball.
Whether it is designed or not, a hit on
the forward button is the perfect timing between plays. Try it sometime.
Other times I read a book and look up
only when I hear the announcer raise
his voice on a good play. I just flip it back
a few seconds and see the play. Or I can
wait for the instant replay, an automatic
on even the most routine of plays.
So what do I read when watching a
game on TV? Many times it’s a sports
book. Two of my recent reads included
“Over Time, My Life as a Sportswriter”
by Frank Deford, one of my all-time
favorite writers, and “An Accidental
Sportswriter,” by Robert Lipsyte.
But to prove I have a few other interests, I just finished the recently released Pat Conroy book, “The Death
of Santini,” and then reread chapters
from Conroy’s “My Reading Life.” Conroy is tops on my list of authors.
And in the last week, I finished a
book I gleaned from my son’s library,
“The Last Stand” by Nathaniel Philbrick, about Custer, Sitting Bull and
the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
I liked it so much I added Philbrick’s
“The Mayflower” to my Nook library.
As a book lover since a young child,
I never thought I would see the day I
would own a Nook, but the accessibility to almost any book is hard to beat.
And now I am enjoying a book by
an old friend, Chris Jones, who just
released “Sandbars, Sandlots and City
Streets,” with his daughter, Katherine.
Full of local references, it is a book I recommend putting on your Christmas list.
Sunday night I was so saturated
with sports, rather than watch the
Panthers- Saints game, I watched a rerun of Dowton Abbey, a guilty pleasure
of mine and also highly recommended.
Who would have thought?

of the deer hunting season. With the
recent restriction of doe harvest days
by the VDGIF, deer donations are
down from the same period in the
past. Now that the restriction has
been removed for the remainder of the
season, the chapter is asking hunters
to donate deer to the program.
Deer must be properly registered

Broadwater Plays 4 Hoop Contests in 5 Days
Story and photo by Bill Sterling
Broadwater defeated Banner Christian Academy of Richmond 78-76 in the
Atlantic Shores Tip-Off Tournament
after dropping the first two games of
the tourney.
The Tip-Off featured top teams from
Virginia, in addition to other squads,
including an Australian team and a
Maryland school with a 7-foot starter.
Michael Riopel led the Vikings with
33 points in its lone victory. Brendon
Burrows, who made the 10-man AllTournament team, contributed 20
points. Matt McCaskill added 18.
The Vikings held a 37-30 halftime
lead after outscoring Banner 24-8 in
the second quarter. Zach Grant led
Banner with 27 points.
In its second game, Broadwater fell
to Hampton Roads Home School 70-61.
Burrows led the Vikes with 25
points with McCaskill and Riopel adding 15 and 12 points, respectively.
The two teams were tied at 26 points
after a half, but Broadwater’s cold
shooting allowed Hampton to take an
11-point lead after three quarters. The
Vikings cut the margin to 2 in the final quarter, but never took the lead. B.
Messer led the victors with 16 points.
In the tourney opener, the Vikings
were topped by Bishop Sullivan Catholic — rated the sixth best team in
Hampton Roads by the Virginian-Pilot
— by a 74-45 score. Bishop Sullivan
used a 23-4 third-quarter run to blow
open the contest.
Burrows had 16 points for Broadwa-
ter, McCaskill had 13 and Riopel had
9. P. Owens led Bishop Sullivan with
24 points.
Broadwater lacked the firepower to
keep up with Atlantic Shores Monday
night on its home court, falling 71-52.
Riopel led the Vikes with 20 points
and Burrows had 13 points and 13 rebounds, but Atlantic Shores had four
players in double figures, led by A. Ferguson with 19.
Broadwater coach Eddie Spencer
said his team needs to play better defense. “We need to box out and stop giving up easy baskets.”
Spencer noted that Seamus Cooney
came off the bench in the fourth quarter to give the Vikings a spark with 4
points and good energy.
Weather Delays Hoopsters
Weather has wreaked havoc on the
Shore District basketball schedule.
The Northampton opened their season
last night, and after weather canceled
games last Thursday and Tuesday
nights, no district teams had met this
season for either boys’ or girls’ teams.
until last night in games after deadline.
Tonight, the Chincoteague boys host
Holly Grove at 6:30 p.m. Nandua hosts
Lancaster tomorrow, with the girls’
game at 1 p.m. and the boys’ game at 3
p.m. Northampton boys host Alliance tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. and then travel to
Broadwater Monday for a 7 p.m. tipoff.
On Tuesday, the Nandua boys host
Arcadia and the Lady Warriors visit Arcadia. Both games tip off at 7 p.m.
Matt McCaskill of Broadwater drives in action Monday night against
Atlantic Shores as the Vikings fell 71-52.
Northampton and Nandua Wrestlers Open Seasons
Northampton opened the 2013-14
season with four dual matches at Norview High School Saturday.
In the opening match, the Jackets lost to Smithfield 66-18, then lost
its second match 55-21 to JR Tucker.
The Jackets lost their third match to
Thomas Dale 49-24, then lost their
fourth match to Deep Creek 57-13.
“It was a tough day,” said Jacket
coach Will Leland, “but it wasn’t from a
lack of effort as the kids wrestled hard.
We are a 1A school and we wrestled all
5A and 6A schools. We have a young
and inexperienced team, and we were
also wrestling without two wrestlers
who are hurt, including Charlie Demarino, who finished third in the state
last year. We had six young men wrestle
their first matches in competition ever.
We have a lot of work to do, but it’s going to be fun watching these young men
continue to improve and grow throughout the season.”
Leland noted that Steven Wilson
went 4-0 this weekend with an exciting overtime win among his victories.
Nandua had a dual wrestling match
last week, defeating King and Queen
42-30 and falling to Peninsula Catholic
51-22.
Against King & Queen, Jack Schrieber
(113), Mathew Tyler (120), and Thomas
Reid (152) scored winners by pins.
Against Peninsula Catholic, Shrieber,
Tim Oliveri (138) and Tyler scored wins
by pins. Reid scored a major decision.
“We gave up 18 points to forfeits due
to injuries, so overall I was very satisfied with the results,” said Nandua
coach Nathan Metzger. “The Nandua
wrestlers came out and wrestled hard
right from the get-go, displaying a level of wrestling I wasn’t expecting ’til
mid-season.”
Metzger added, “Thomas Reid and
Tyrek Collins are the only wrestlers on
the team whom I have worked with for
the past four years and am looking for
strong seasons out of them both. The
team is also lucky to have Tim Oliveri, who transferred in from Appomattox School District this year. He has
brought a lot of experience and leadership with him and should be a main
contributor and positive role model for
the rest of the team.”
Arcadia wrestlers open their season
today at Parkside in Salisbury under
first-year head coach Chase Godfrey.
Broadwater Nips Northampton in Foul-Prone Contest
Story and photos by Bill Sterling
Broadwater rebounded from a
9-point deficit at halftime to nip
Northampton 45-42 in girls’ basketball
Friday night at Eastville.
The visiting Vikings hit only one
field goal in the first half, yet scored 19
points by hitting 17 of 26 free throws.
For the game, Broadwater was 29 of 50
from the foul line, while Northampton
was only 3 of 11 from the charity stripe.
Northampton’s Whitney Metz scored
7 points in the first quarter, but was
ejected early in the second quarter when
the referee called a flagrant foul as Metz
had the ball and was driving, shoving off
a defender. It was her third foul.
The Jackets’ Briana Williams picked
up her teammates with 10 points in
the second quarter to stake Northampton to a 28-19 halftime lead.
From the foul line, Kathleen Kraft
was 6 of 10, Katie Wendell was 5 of 9
and Jenna Hare was 5 of 7 for Broadwater to keep the Lady Vikings in the
game.
In the second half, Broadwater went
to a pressing defense that produced
numerous turnovers and drives to the
hoop, where many of the Jacket fouls
occurred. The Vikings still trailed by
8 entering the final quarter, but Anna
Sexauer made a steal and converted a
basket, then Kraft hit two free throws
to tie the score at 37 and Wendell hit
a runner to give Broadwater its first
lead since early in the game. Kraft had
14 steals in the game, and all 11 of her
points came from the foul line.
Wendell scored 8 of her game-high
15 points in the final quarter, and Kraft
hit 5 of 8 free throws to help Broadwater maintain the lead. Northampton
only managed to score 5 points in the
fourth quarter as the Lady Vikings
scored 16.
“Our pressing defense brought us
back,” said Broadwater coach Ralph
Dodd. “We couldn’t hit anything in the
first half, but we hung in there and
played hard the entire way.”
Northampton coach Leo Owens
said that despite losing a key player,
his team had control of the game at
halftime. He cited turnovers and some
poor decisions in the second half as
contributing to the loss.
Williams led the Jackets with 12
points. Jabria Brown had 9 points.
Lady Vikings Fall to AS
The Broadwater girls fell to Atlantic Shores 55-41 Monday night at the
Viking gym.
Katie Wendell had 21 points to lead
the Lady Vikings, while Anna Sexauer
scored 10 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
Atlantic Shores was led by Jule Kassack with 25 points, 21 coming in the
first half.
“We need to be more aggressive
on defense,” said Viking coach Ralph
Dodd, “but they hit five 3-pointers,
some from really long range. It’s hard
to defend that.”
Northampton’s Whitney Metz is surrounded by Vikings Anna Sexauer
(rear), Savana Davis (4), Jenna Hare (33) and Palmer Smith (23) in action Friday night at Eastville. Broadwater won 45-42 in a second-half
comeback.

Rockfish Tourney Winners
“Walker was very big, and fundamentally sound. Fortunately for us, neither of the teams played very well,
especially with this being our first
game.”
Maggie Walker led 18-16 at halftime, but the Firebirds rallied to hold
a 27-21 lead late in the fourth quarter
and then withstood a run by Walker
to gain the victory by the narrowest of
margins.

won two meets against larger Richmond schools Wednesday. The visiting
Yellow Jackets defeated Varina High
School 45-27 and topped Henrico High
School 48-26 in a meet held at Varina
High School.
Coach Will Leland said, “Many of
our young wrestlers stepped up. This
team is taking the steps it needs to get
better week by week.”
Coach Leland said he appreciated
several Northampton wrestling alumni who attended the match to support
the team.

To My Beloved Mother:
Charlotte V. Anderson
It was 1 year ago today
that God called you home.
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
He put his arms around you
and whispered, “Come with
me.” Although we loved you
dearly, we couldn’t make
you stay. A golden heart
stopped beating, a tender
soul at rest, God broke our
hearts to prove to us, he
only takes the best. Gone
but not forgotten.
From,
Your son,
Garry Lee Tyler,

“Don’t expect people to act logically,”
a wise man recently told me.
I find the statement to be the key to
a successful holiday season. After all,
couldn’t Mr. Spock, the logical force of
Star Trek, teach Mr. Grinch of Whoville, a thing or two about holiday spirit? I think he could.
The perfect example is the case
of the stolen Christmas tree that was
snatched from the Wachapreague gazebo earlier this month. Where is the logic
in stealing a Christmas tree? You can’t
eat it. You can’t hide it (very well) and
you certainly can’t haul it away easily.
You can’t keep a 10-foot fir tree as an
investment. And the new lights on it, well,
we all know about trying to replace or get
those to work in the future. The crime is
just plain and simpe illogical. And more
importantly, it is mean and hurtful.
“It is curious how often you humans
manage to obtain that which you do
not want,” Spock once said. Another
time he summarized, “After a time, you
may find that having is not so pleasing
a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not
logical, but it is often true.”
With obvious irrational thinking,

Local Salvation Army Needs
and Appreciates Help
Dear Editor:
The Accomack and Northampton County Salvation Army chapters are ringing bells at locations
throughout Virginia’s Eastern Shore — at Food Lions, Walmart, Roses and Fresh Pride — thanks to
many volunteers. We really appreciate our volunteers’ time and the generosity of our community. It
is these donations to the kettles that are used by the
local Salvation Army Chapter.
The local chapters work with local churches,
Northampton Social Ministries, the Accomack Interfaith Council and community organizations and
agencies to identify residents who need short-term
assistance to provide them help and hope. During the Christmas season, both chapters work with
many others to open community Toy Closets. Donations to the Kettle Fund are used to assist individuals from the two counties during times of need with
utility costs, rent, bus tickets, prescriptions and food.
If you would like to donate to the 2013 Kettle
Fund, make your check payable to Northampton SA
Kettle Fund and send it to Edward Stetar, Treasurer,
P.O. Box 1274 Exmore, VA 23350. To donate to the
Accomack SA Kettle Fund, send checks to Dee Fitch,
Treasurer, P.O. Box 0457 Belle Haven, VA 233060457 or place it in one of our kettles.
God Bless you and thank you for your help.

Chairman, Northampton Chapter

“they drove right up” and took the
symbolic plant, said Mayor Fred Janci.
“You could see their tracks.”
The tree was stolen just hours after 50 to 60 town residents attended
a lighting ceremony. Some folks then
went on a hayride, stopping here and
there to go caroling around the Little
City by the Sea. At about 11:30 p.m.,
Janci went to turn off the lights and
found the tree had gone missing.
I think I’d rather imagine that, like
Frosty the Snowman, the tree just
walked away. But we all know that
logically, a Grinch is responsible.
“If I were human, I believe my response would be, ‘Go to hell,’ ” Spock
said in the Final Frontier. That might
be fitting, except it is Christmastime
and one shouldn’t act so crass.
“We can’t let that stop us,” Janci
Why Didn’t Letter Writer Help
Cat Thrown from Car?
Dear Editor:
I would like to comment on last week’s Letter
to the Editor, “Cat Abandonment from Car Unconscionable.”
I would like to know what the letter writer and
his wife did while they witnessed the lady throwing
the cat out on the road. He and his wife didn’t do
anything to help the cat. Shame on them!

Funding from National Drive
Helps Effort for New Library
Dear Editor:
On Dec. 3, more than 10,000 partners around the
world participated in the #GivingTuesday initiative
to celebrate giving and
helping others.
The Eastern Shore
Public Library Foundation received over $5,000
in donations. Thank you
to the many individual
supporters of the library and to the Debedeavon Garden Club for its generous contributions, all of which
will go toward meeting the Morgan Challenge Grant.
By working together we can continue to inspire
giving and making a difference in our community. By
working together we can improve the services provided to the community. By working together we can
build a new library. Thank you.

said of the theft. “We can’t let that ruin
our Christmas or our Christmas spirit.” So several people in town worked
together to get another tree. Those
Wachapreaguers know the true meaning of Christmas.
And for those wishing to live in
Whoville, Spock said it best, “Nowhere
am I so desperately needed as among a
shipload of illogical humans.”
To those who stole the Christmas
dog from a Northampton man’s house,
even Spock would be speechless. I recently read of a Dutch company that
is planning to send “four lucky Earthlings to colonize” Mars with the catch:
“They won’t ever come back.”
I think that would be the perfect
destination for dog thieves, minus the
dog of course.
Merry Christmas.
