When you see the star,
you know you are home
by Tom Chillemi
Pitts Lumber Company doesn’t do a lot of decorating at Christmas time, but the “decorating” the
business does has become a holiday tradition for
the Middlesex community.
This year marks the 20th straight year that Pitts
Lumber has placed an 8-foot-tall Christmas star
atop its 150-foot-tall communication tower.
From time to time, the owners of Pitts Lumber
have debated not raising the star. Then, they remember the letters and phone calls they have gotten that
express how much people enjoy seeing the “star in
the sky,” said company vice president and general
manager James Pitts.
“We get so many positive comments from
people,” said Pitts. “We’ve actually gotten letters
from out of state.”
The star has 100 bulbs and can be seen from
about a mile away. Each year it is illuminated on
December 1 and remains on until January 1.
Pitts Lumber is located on the Route 17 bypass,
right at the border of Middlesex and Gloucester
counties. “When you see it, you know you’re
home,” said one letter from a Middlesex resident
who works outside the county.
Jimmy Pitts, president of Pitts Lumber and James’
father, said the star idea started around 1982 with
a smaller version. “I had seen one somewhere else
and really liked it, so we just built one,” he said.
They began hoisting the smaller star about 35
feet up the tower.
A few years later the star got bigger and went all
the way to the top of the tower, a job that entails a
professional tower service (see related story). “We
wanted something bigger,” said James Pitts.
In 1986, they hired a professional climber to
carry the 8-foot star all the way to the top, 150
feet up.
The star can be seen for about a mile, from
Saluda to the north and Glenns to the south. “It
kind of takes my breath a little,” said Jimmy Pitts.
“It’s very unusual.”
Jimmy Pitts said one of the letters received a few
years ago seemed to make all the work worth it. A
lady sent an unsigned letter and explained how she
was “down and out” and didn’t know how she was
going to pay her bills. “When she rode down the
road and saw that star, she said all of her problems
just disappeared,” said Jimmy Pitts. “It’s good to
know that somebody gets something good out of it
[the star]. That’s why you decorate at Christmas.”
Jimmy Pitts said he plans to continue the Christmas tradition as long as the tower is there. “It’s our
part of decorating and doing something for the
(See Star, page B12)

Tom Chillemi
Frank Park of Newport News
has always been an “altitude
fanatic.” He started flying with a
retired World War II pilot in an
open cockpit airplane when he
was 12 years old. “I have never
been afraid of heights,” he said.
Park has worked on high steel
construction, oil rigs, tall buildings and trees. So climbing the
150-foot tower at Pitts Lumber
Company to position an 8-foot
star at the top was “just another
day at the office,” said this wiry
54-year-old veteran.
Frank Park gets ready to climb
the 150-foot tower. “It’s just
another day at the office.”
Safety is the first consideration for Park’s job, which is now
listed by OSHA as the most dangerous job in America. “It takes
some serious physical ability and
mental confidence in your personal fall arrest system,” he said.
Climbers such as Park use the
“personal fall arrest system” harness, back strap and two hooks,
one of which is attached to the
tower at all times.
OSHA requires “100 percent
tie off ” once a climber is 6 feet
high off the ground, said Park.
Park said height is not a concern. If he falls from 100 feet or
300 feet, it doesn’t matter. “The
outcome is the same,” he said.
Before scaling the skinny tower
at Pitts Lumber, Park and his
partner Mark Wizzard of Henry’s
Tower Service in Toano checked
the guide wires where they attach
to the tower. They also checked
the anchor points on the ground
before the climb. “It’s standard
operating procedure,” said Park.
The day before, Park had
worked on a 300-foot airport
beacon tower at night near Franklin.
Park had been doing tree work
since Hurricane Floyd. He was
looking for another tree company job and saw an ad for tower
climbers that read, “No experience necessary, will train.”
“I wish I’d found this job when

Wizzard hoist the Pitts Lumber
Christmas star to the top of
the tower.

Reaching out to others
The gift of giving
thrives in Middlesex
by Larry S. Chowning
Even though temperatures
are unseasonable this year, the
magic of Christmas is still in
the air and the real gift of the
yule-time season—giving—is
alive and well.
Those giving to others in
need increases each season in
Middlesex County.
Many in Middlesex County
know the good feeling that
comes from giving. Angel
Trees sponsored by local organizations, Christmas Friends
Inc., and the holiday “adoption” of less-fortunate families
by churches and other groups
continue to flourish.
Millie Hampton of Middlesex County Social Services said
her office works with over 30
organizations and individuals
to provide Christmas for local
families in need. “This year
we have seen an outpouring of
love and concern from all over
the county,” said Hampton.
“With Christmas Friends,
churches, businesses, organizations and individuals, we
have provided some type of
Christmas to over 300 families in Middlesex County,” she
said. “I hope all the people who
have given time and money to
help others realize the wonderful impact they have made to
our community.
“It seems that one of the
wildest things that happens
every year is when someone
calls up at the last minute needing help, that before I can make
a phone call to try to find help
someone walks through the
door with the very items that
we need,” she said. “It looks
like every year we have some
kind of Christmas miracle.”
Hampton and the social services department expressed
thanks to all involved in the
Christmas Community Sponsor Program. These gift-giving
efforts include Christmas Angel
Trees; individuals or groups
adopting a family and provid-
“Each man should
give what he has
decided in his
heart to give, not
reluctantly or
under compulsion,
for God loves a
cheerful giver.”
—2 Corinthians 9:7
ing them a complete Christmas;
and Christmas Friends Inc., a
program co-sponsored by the
Southside Sentinel that works
with social services and the community to provide over $20,000 in
gifts to nearly 300 needy children
and elderly adults.
Churches that participated in
Christmas giving programs with
the social services department
this year are Hermitage Baptist, Lower United Methodist,
Abby (left) and Caitlin Blankenship decorate the Angel
Tree at Urbanna Methodist
Church.
Urbanna United Methodist,
Christ Church, Church of Visitation, Harmony Grove Baptist
GA’s, and Unity of the Chesapeake Church.
Local businesses that have
also sponsored Angel Trees
or participated in other types
of giving programs are Long
& Foster Realtors, Food Lion,
Coffman’s on the Coast,
Deltaville Yachting Center,
BB&T (Deltaville branch),
Citizens and Farmers Bank,
WRAR Radio, Mizpah Health
Care Center, Baylands Credit
Union, and Colonial Pizza.
Organizations that participated are Chesapeake Bay/
River Association of Realtors, Bethlehem Star Lodge,
Middlesex Moose Lodge,
North of the River Riders, and
Stingray Stitchers.
Hampton said individuals
and organizations call each
year about adopting a family.
This year Cathy Russell, Pat
Wake, Ken and Kim Moody,
Carolyn Boggs, Douglas Gray,
Gwen Mickles, the Via and
Walton families of Urbanna,
Donna Palmer, Fred Dantz,
Ann Mason and Sgt. Dana
Radabaugh adopted families.
The schools also participated
in the giving programs. St.
Clare Walker Middle School
Builders Club, Middlesex Elementary K-Kids and Middlesex
High School (FBLA) all participated in social servicessponsored programs.
Several private schools, such
as Christchurch School and
Ware Academy, also raised
funds for the needy.
“We have our own programs,
but there are others out there
working on their own to help
too,” said Hampton.
For instance, the YMCA has
sponsored collecting cans for
the area food banks, and has
an Angel Tree to honor those
who have contributed funds to
the YMCA Guardian Program,
which provides scholarships to
low income families so they
can participate in YMCA programs.
“There are many, many other
groups that I’m sure are working to provide a Merry Christmas for those in need,” said
Hampton.

Letters to Santa
Dear Santa,
I have been a very good girl this
year. I have tried to be very sweet
to my new baby sister. I help my
Mommy as much as I can and I am
almost potty trained. I would like
to have a Leap Frog Grow with Me
Learning System for Christmas. I
will share it with my baby sister Mallory. Mallory would also like to have
a stroller toy and a stuffed animal.
I like baby dolls, DVDs for my car,
play food for my kitchen, and surprises. Mommy and I will bake you
some cookies and I will leave some
carrots for the reindeer. Please don’t
wake up Mallory while you are at our
house, Mommy needs her to sleep as
much as possible. Merry Christmas.
Love, Gabby Sultan, 2

Dear Santa,
I’m new on your list this year and
my big brother, Ben, says I’ve been a
very good girl. He also said that I’m
very pretty and that I’ll probably be
a super model when I grow up. For
Christmas I would like some Baby
Einstein DVDs, some new toys, a baby
doll and a pair of pink Crocs. Please
bring Ben some things too. He is
the best big brother ever!! He helps
take care of me and even calls me
“Honey” and “Sweetie.” I love him
so much. He wants a skateboard,
some Playstation games, Legos,
a boom box, and a Power Ranger
truck. Please bring my mommy
something, too. She would probably
like some jewerly and clothes. My
daddy would like to get his big deer
mounted for Christmas. Also, don’t
forget that I will be in Alabama at
Nana and Granddad’s house this
year. They are very excited to be
with me on my first Christmas. My
cousins, Peyton and Caroline will be
there too so don’t forget them. They
will probably want shoes, clothes
and Vera Bradley stuff. I love you
Santa Claus and tell Mrs. Claus and
the reindeer that I love them too.

a ramp to skate on, some elbow
and knee pads, a lot of play station
games, a Power Ranger truck, and
a Playstation 3 and some games to
go with it. I also want a boom box
and some CDs to go with it. Please
bring Lizzie Brooke some new toys
and a cell phone to play with. You
can drop off my stuff at Alabama
because we are going to Nana and
Granddad’s. Don’t forget to bring
Uncle Matt something. He probably will want some money because
he is in college which means he is
poor. Please bring Peyton and Caroline some clothes and shoes and
money for the Limited 2 store. Also,
bring my teacher, Mrs. Johnson
something nice. Please also bring
my mom some perfume and my dad
some hunting stuff. I love you and I
will leave out some food and drinks
for you and the reindeer.

Dear Santa,
I can’t wait for you to come and
see me this year! I promise you that I
have been a very good boy this year.
I even help my Mommy and Daddy
around the house and help pick up
my toys. I would like books and
puzzles and lots of cars and trucks
(they are my favorite), my own
broom, mop and vacuum cleaner to
help my Mommy clean the house
(I love to do that!) and lots of tools
to help my Daddy work and build
things and don’t forget to bring me a
pair of big boy boots. My big brother
Tyler thinks he’s too big to write
you a letter so I wanted to ask you
to bring him new foot pedals for his
guitar and weights and anything else
he wants. He has been a good boy
too, and I love him very much! Finally, I hope that all the children that
are waiting for a forever family will
get one for Christmas this year! I got
mine last year. Merry Christmas!

Dear Santa,
Hello, How are you? I am doing
just fine. I am still just a little guy—16
months old—but boy am I ready for
Christmas. My mommy and daddy
have taken me around and man—those
lights—I would love to be able to get a
hold of them, but mom just holds my
hand and says “Aren’t they pretty!”
I think to myself I could really make
them pretty if I could get a hold of
them! I hope I get some toys for Christmas—I have been very good . . . Nanaw
still says I am her little angel. Since I
am getting bigger everyday—I would
like to get some toys to help me learn
my colors and ABCs and numbers. I
still may need some diapers, too. My
mom, Clemmie, would like something
nice for Christmas—she’s been pretty
good—except for not letting me get
hold of them darn lights! Please bring
my Dad, Freddie, something nice, I
guess he deserves it—he lets me get a
way with a little more than mom. I also
hope that my cousin, Kayla, gets some
toys—she has tried to be good, although
it isn’t as easy for her as it is for me. My
great-aunt Amanda would like a new
car, do you think that would be possible? Didn’t think so, but I thought I
would ask anyway. And my great uncle
Michael would like a new SUV—just
thought I would mention it. My Nanaw
would like you to bring her a new set
of legs—so she will be able to keep
up with me the next few years! Please
bring David something nice—he has
tried so hard to be good, he has helped
my Nanaw so much this year when she
was sick. My aunt Debbie and Uncle
Duane, they would like something
nice—just surprise them. If I am awake
when you get here—my new thing is
to give “Nucks”—so I’ll give “Nucks”
if I see you. And, Santa, please make
sure that every little boy and girl gets
something for Christmas, because not
all of them are as lucky as me to have
a wonderful family who loves them and
can provide them with Christmas presents. Thanks, Santa and I hope you and
Mrs. Claus and all of the reindeer have
a great Christmas.

Letters to Santa
Dear Santa,
Hi, how are you? How is Mrs.
Santa Claus? How are the reindeer?
How is Rudolph? Where is the North
Pole? Is it cold there? Why do you
live at the North Pole? My name is
Kayla Renee Mullins, my Mimi says
that my middle name needs to be
changed to “I Want,” because I want
everything I see. This Christmas
can you bring me some nice toys?
I would like a green “Dorla” puter,
some water toys to play with in the
bath tub, some nice clothes, a winter
coat, a pocket book with some make
up in it, and some other nice stuff.
I was scared to sit on your lap at
Wal-Mart, but I still like you. I am
just shy. Well, shy in public—but I
am not shy at home or at my Mimi
and PopPop’s house! I am 4 years old
now. I am a big girl. I help with my
baby sister and I love to play with
my friends at school (Mt. Landing
Daycare), and my cousin Zachary
“Zackie.” Can you bring some nice
toys for Zackie? He has been good
this year—he’s not really big enough
to get in to too much trouble, yet. Can
you bring my aunt “Manno” some
nice gifts and my daddy (Michael)
and “Bickie” some goodies, too? My
Nanaw would like some new legs, so
she can keep up with me and Zackie.
David has been good—or at least as
much as he can, so bring him something nice. He does help my Nanaw.
Can you visit my Mimi and PopPop
and bring them something nice, too?
Thanks for reading my letter Santa.
Please, also make sure that all the
little kids like me get something for
Christmas, everyone deserves a nice
Christmas. Thanks Santa and take
care! I will leave some cookies and
milk out for you at my mommy’s
house and I will make sure my Mimi
and PopPop leave some for you there,
too, since my Mimi and I will be
baking cookies this weekend when
I visit her. I love you Santa, maybe
next year I will sit on your lap and
take a picture.

Dear Santa,
I want a new game for Christmas
becaues my game is not working. I
have to sit and watch tv but I want to
play it. When I had my game working I had the game to play with. Now
I have to do something else to make
my time go by without my game. But
I am hopening to get one for Christmas. When I get a playstation 2 for
Christmas I will make sure it is in a
safe place When I play a game on it.
If I do get the game for Christmas
and I want a big bike to. The End.

Dear Santa,
I had a wonderful year. I hope
you had one too, How is Mrs. Claus
doing? I saw Santa Claus 3. Is it true
you had a baby? If you did is it a boy
or a girl? What was his or her name?
Oh and is it true that you like snowglobes and if you put on Santa’s suit
you’er automatically Santa youself?
May I have a n.b. 3 player and an Idog for Christmas. My brother C.J.
wants an I-cat for Christmas and a
game for our game cube. There is
just one other thing I would like for
Christmas it’s a pony named butterscotch. I hope we have plenty of
snow so you’ll have no problem traveling.

HANDS ACROSS MIDDLESEX
by Cathy Newcomb
Hands Across Middlesex
held its December meeting at
Glebe Landing Baptist Church
in Laneview. Members of Hands
would like to thank the church
members for hosting the meeting (especially Dakota).
At this meeting reports were
given as to how we are progressing.
Our Furniture Barn coordinator reports we are in need of furniture. The barn is empty. Please
call Ethel if you have any donations. Her phone number is 7767257. Thank you in advance for
your generosity.
The Clothing Barn coordinators are again pleading with the
public to please not leave clothes
in the open by the barn door or
tossed into the hallways. Please
deliver things at scheduled times
and have them bagged. The barn
is open the first and third Saturday of every month. The hours
are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The barn
will be open for the Christmas
rush on December 23. Come to
see the new toys that have come
in.
We want to express extra
thanks to the students in grades
3-5 from Ware Academy. They
provided us with lots of toys for
Christmas. Clothes were also
donated, which will make for
special Christmas mornings for
many a family. Thank you Ware
Academy and the participating
families!
Penny Lawson is heading up
the Christmas Day food distributions again this year. This
will be the 12th year that we
have been able to provide this
service. If you can help with
this, please leave a message for
Penny at Philippi Church. The
Hands office number there is
776-8535. The meals will be
prepared at the Urbanna United
Methodist Church on Christmas
morning. The packaging will
start at 9 a.m. and the deliveries will start at 10 a.m. If you
can help out with either of these
activities, please call the Philippi
office. The office is now open
five days a week from 9 a.m. to
2 p.m. We do need someone to
answer phones on Tuesdays. If
anyone is interested, please call
the office.
The lovely young lady who
donated her birthday money to
Hands Across Middlesex has
come up with another fundraising idea. She makes apple
dumplings! Her dumplings will
be part of the meal provided to
folks on Christmas Day. Savannah will donate 100 dumplings!
You can call an order in to her.
You pick your order up at an
agreed upon date and time. She
does not put a price on her baked
goods. She simply asks you for
a donation. The amount is up to
you. Miss Savannah Williams
can be reached at 758-9432.
Thank you, Savannah, for your
creativity and huge heart.
The project review committee
has changed its meeting time.
They now meet on the first Tuesday of each month. The meeting is still at 5 p.m. at Philippi
Church in Deltaville. Join this
panel if you chose to do so.
Hands would like to thank all
of you who donate to this organization as individuals or as organizations. Thanks too, to those of
you who are being “good neighbors” and helping those who
need an extra hand from time to
time.
Happy holidays to all of you
from Hands. Let us all look forward to a bright and healthy new
year!
The next Hands meeting will
at Hermitage Baptist Church in
Church View on January 21 at
3:30 p.m. Everyone is invited to
attend.

community.”
James Pitts said they leave the
star lit continuously because the
bulbs last longer if they are not
put through heating and cooling
cycles. Every bulb is changed
before the star goes up.
This year it took climber Frank
Park and Mark Wizzard of Henry’s Tower Service in Toano about
30 minutes to reach the summit.
Park had the star hooked to his
back and Wizzard guided the
large star around the guide wires
that are attached to the pole. They
only broke one bulb and that was
after they got it mounted to the
tower, said Park.
Of course, they carried spare
bulbs, because, it’s a long way
down.
No easy job . . .

the work.
Not everybody is cut out for
climbing, said Park. As an example, he said there are 220,000
members of the United Auto
Workers; while the National
Association of Tower Erectors
has just 8,000 members. “We are
a rather small and elite group. I
guess you have to be a little crazy
to do what we do.”
Park has not had any close
calls personally, but has had to
remove workers from heights.
“They had fear to the point of
freezing,” he said. “There’s a
big difference between being Santa arrives by fire truck at the Hartfield
on a roof and going up a skinny Christmas Village in November.
tower.”
An OSHA study released a
year ago named tower climbing
as the most dangerous profession, surpassing fishermen who
work the icy waters of Alaska to
harvest the king crab, said Park.
“They used to have the most
dangerous job, now it’s us.”
