Free December 21, 2012 Circulation 13,000 Gov. Still Seeking Aid By Linda Cicoira Gov. Bob McDonnell is appealing FEMA’s denial for individual assistance for Accomack property owners affected by Hurricane Sandy, County Administrator Steve Miner reported Wednesday. “Don’t get your hopes up,” Miner told the Board of Supervisors. “Nonetheless, they are making the effort,” he said of state leaders. Miner explained that while Somerset County, Md., was given the green light after first being denied, FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) does not have to approve adjacent areas. He added that some money put in a state fund last year for tornado victims also might become available. The supervisors voted to reinstate a federal program last month that reimburses the county for raising houses in floodprone areas. Officials had halted the aid after FEMA declined to pay more than $300,000 for work on a Crystal Beach house. Miner reported this week that Building Official David Fluhart would oversee the program. The Individual Assistance Program makes funding available to homeowners, renters and businesses in the form of lowinterest loans and grants, unemployment assistance, disaster housing assistance and crisis counseling. It’s Touch and Go Now Photo by Linda Cicoira The Navy conducted touch-and-go flight patterns with its E-2C Hawkeye and C-2 Greyhound planes from 3 to 6 p.m. Tuesday at NASA’s runway on Wallops Island. The demonstration was done at the request of Accomack supervisors after residents voiced concerns about noise. Accomack Supervisors Support Bridge-Tunnel Toll Reduction By Linda Cicoira In an 8-1 vote, Accomack supervisors passed a resolution Wednesday that supports and encourages efforts to reduce tolls for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (CBBT). There is “no other place in the United States of America where people have to pay $12 to visit the rest of the state,” said Supervisor Donald Hart. “I support it 100 percent.” Vice Chairwoman Wanda Thornton, a former member of the CBBT Commission, initiated the action. She dismissed comments that the commission would need the funds to maintain and improve the 17.6-mile bay crossing. “When I left the commission in 2004, they could do a commuter toll without any problem,” Thornton said. “The … commission is under no obligation to do this. … They had a considerable reserve when I left.” Supervisor Jack Gray was the first to question the feasibility of the proposal. “The bridge-tunnel needs all the money they can get,” he said, contending that the facility will need another tunnel “eventually.” In the end, he voted for the action because Thornton said she understood the commission favors it. Only Supervisor Grayson Chesser voted against the motion. “I think it would be foolhardy to lower the toll,” he said. “It’s going to cost a fortune for maintenance and a new tunnel. … It was built in 1964. That’s a long, long time” ago. “I’m not going to vote for it. If the … commission wants it, they can vote for it.” Supervisor Reneta Major was enthusiastic about the prospect. “It would be very beneficial to citizens” who work or seek medical attention in Hampton Roads. “I’m all for lowering tolls. We’ll just open economic opportunities.” According to the resolution, the supervisors want toll reductions because “the vital infrastructure … offers opportunities for trade, economic development and increased employment” and “to provide reduced affordable … rates to regular commuters and shortterm vacation visitors.” The supervisors did not discuss how tollbooth workers would gauge travelers or how low they want the tolls to be. The toll is $12 one way. The return trip within 24 hours is $5. In other business, the supervisors re-appointed Planning Commissioners Leander Roberts Jr., George T. Parker, Brantley T. Onley and C. Robert Hickman to terms that run through Dec. 31, 2016. They also re-appointed Gina Crockett and Travis Bradley to threeyear terms on the Eastern Shore Community Services Board. Michael A. Starling and former Supervisor Sandra Hart Mears were re-appointed to four-year terms on the Eastern Shore Resource, Conservation and Development Council. Allen Dwayne Marshall and Ronald W. Evans were re-appointed to the Greenbackville Boat Harbor Committee. Webster Martin and Obediah Sample were re-appointed to the Harborton Public Facilities Committee. The terms for both of those panels are four years. 2 • Eastern Shore Post • December 21, 2012 FRI., DECEMBER 21ST THRU MON., DECEMBER 24TH, 2012 SALE SALE Santa Countdown Santa FRI., DECEMBER 21ST THRU MON., DECEMBER 24TH, 2012 LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED 18999 $ SALE LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED SAVE $110 Craftsman 255-pc. $ 99 mechanic’s SALE SAVE tool set SAVE $110 00935255 Craftsman® 255-pc. mechanic’s SAVE tool set 00935255 Countdown ® 189 SAVE $304 $140 SAVE $304 SAVE $75 $140 4 DAYS 'TIL CHRISTMAS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22ND 4 DAYS 'TIL CHRISTMAS DECEMBER 22ND 14999EARLY OPEN $ SAVE $75 $ 8AM 8AM EARLY OPEN SATURDAY, SALE SAVE $40 Craftsman C3 149 19.2-volt 99 $ 4-tool kit 1999 SALE 00911404 SAVE $40 SALE Craftsman C3 19.2-volt 4-tool kit 00911404 SAVE $20 Craftsman 12-pc. nut $ 99 driver setSALE50% 00934555 SAVE $20 OFF Craftsman 12-pc. nut driver set 50% 00934555 OFF 19 14999 $ SAVE $40 a Craftsman 1/2-HP 149 chain drive99 $ garage door $ opener SAVE $40 00953985 b 29997 17498 a WHEN YOU BUY ALL THREE Craftsman 1/2-HP chain drive garage door opener 00953985 UP TO 50% 50% c 33596 $ $ b WHEN YOU BUY BOTH c WHEN YOU BUY ALL THREE combination WHEN YOU00931016/7 combo WHEN00962020/1/2 YOU b.

And the physical abuse is increasing for adults and children on the Shore. The good news is that “the Eastern Shore takes care of its own,” she said. “We are going to be able to pay off our shelter mortgage by the end of the year,” thanks to generous donations. Still, with an increase of court case hours and incidents, more funds will be needed. “The coalition is important,” said Fredholm, “not simply to serve victims, but also to prevent (people from becoming) victims.” She said a program is being planned for local schools to teach warning signals for violence in dating. About $20,000 in state funds was cut in July and appeals for reinstatement of the payment have gotten nowhere. With the stagnant economy, the lack of funds will have to be addressed or victims will be forced to go as far as Virginia Beach for help, Fredholm said. Rev. Donald Broad asked Accomack supervisors to give a tax exemption for two parcels owned by the coalition, a savings of about $500 annually. He also requested the county give $1,000 a year for the cause. The county pays to house and feed the abuser (while in jail), but not to support the victim, Broad said. He further complained that coalition staff is paid less than a first-year teacher and gets no retirement benefits. “We can use all the money we can get,” he added. Fredholm said getting county financial support would open the doors for other funding. She plans to go to the Northampton Board of Supervisors next. In the last five months, the coalition provided 1,475 overnight stays for abuse victims, compared with 2,355 for the previous 12 months. In addition, staff spent 1,088 hours in court since July, compared to about 1,000 for the previous 12 months. She explained the cases are getting more complicated. December 21, 2012 • Eastern Shore Post • 3 Accomack Supervisors Close Out Year Talking Trash By Linda Cicoira Accomack supervisors unanimously voted to spend $125,000 to purchase 11.5 Grangeville acres on Route 180 near Wachapreague for a convenience trash disposal center. The move was part of a motion to adopt a group of actions known as the consent agenda. The property belongs to Nina and William Shaw of Parksley. The site was approved in October for negotiation. The latest move formally gives the board’s consent and permission for sale documents to be signed. Supervisor Donald Hart pushed for a second convenience center in southern Accomack, in part because the northern portion of the county has several. It’s been nearly a year since officials voted to remove the green box Dumpster from Wachapreague. The action did not specify the type of facility to be erected. Public Works Director Stewart Hall previously reported the cost could range from $250,000 to $750,000. In another trash-related action, the supervisors approved the use of $440,340 in unassigned funds for the nearly $2 million transfer station project. The spending was approved in November in the consent agenda, but was brought back to the board “to ensure all members are fully aware of the matter.” The southern landfill will close on $-" @ēǨǨǨǨƝŖñƝƝǨ »»ë Ǩ :ne òßā 0Aò » Ǩ 0ā Agency (FEMA) will fund 94 percent of the project; •set a public hearing for Jan. 16 regarding a request for a conditionaluse permit for a 19-square-foot “Subway” sign on the front of the Walmart in Onley; •voted to ask recipients of county funds (specifically volunteer fire companies) to report whether they get annual audits. Local Security Heightened in Wake of School Shootings By Linda Cicoira There was an increased presence of law enforcement in Accomack and Northampton schools this week following the shooting death of students and faculty members at an elementary school in Connecticut. “We are fortunate we have a very strong partnership with law enforcement,” Accomack Superintendent Dr. Bruce Benson said Wednesday. “We do have an increased presence.” In addition, Benson said administrators were directed to review procedures and security. “I think folks probably realize they have to be buzzed into our schools,” said the superintendent. “Our doors are locked.” £ÝÄænÓ I ÓÝAÝn nônÏö 0´āòò ´~ 0A¢ãQ Qāßđ Dec. 31, after which no heavy concrete debris or long utility poles will be accepted in the green boxes there.

The plan is to do “more of that.” “Over the last couple of days, of course, everyone is looking at their security,” said Northampton Superintendent Dr. Walter Clemons. On Monday and Tuesday, before school let out for the holiday break, more deputies were at the facilities and there was a heightened awareness by staff and constant monitoring, he said. In addition, Clemons said metal detectors are being used with more frequency and he plans to discuss increasing other security measures with the School Board.

She added that locally, tourism increased by 8.2 percent and for the first time state tourism grew to more than $20 billion, including 207,000 jobs and $1.3 billion in state and local revenue. The latter could fund 11,000 state troopers or go for education, she said. She referred to a major initiative being made by the state commission that would include the Shore but did not disclose the plan. It included a $1 million study. “The Eastern Shore Tourism Commission is strong and capable of taking you to the next level,” Locken reported.

Accomack Revenues Up By Linda Cicoira Accomack County is bringing in the bucks. Major revenues were up 5.2 percent for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2013, compared to the same time in the previous year. “Most of this increase is due to ear- Accomack Fire Probes Continue By Linda Cicoira Police are continuing to investigate fires in Accomack County and are urging those who have seen or know of something suspicious to step forward. “All fires are currently under some form of criminal investigation, whether arson or not,” Sgt. Michelle Anaya of the Virginia State Police said in a prepared statement. “But, protecting the community is of our utmost concern. Troopers, investigators and other law-enforcement representatives are working around the clock to conduct the investigation and patrol the area. Someone knows who is setting these fires. We need that person or persons to come forward with this information.” In the last week, Anaya gave three reports of fires to add to the more than two-dozen arson blazes in abandoned structures that have been battled by local volunteer firefighters since midNovember. On Dec. 16, there was a blaze in an abandoned residential structure on Withams Road. At about 1:45 a.m. Dec. 17, firefighters were called to a structure fire at the corner of Hope and Dennis Drive. At around 9:15 p.m., a blaze was reported at the former Belote antiques shop on Lankford Highway near Keller. Anyone with information regarding these or any other fires is asked to call 787-1131, 1-800-582-8350 or 757-424-6820. lier than expected real-estate tax collections, including those pertaining to public service corporations and better than expected sales tax revenue,” Finance Director Mike Mason said in a report to county supervisors. “Excluding property-tax revenue, revenues are up 3.1 percent,” he added. “However, it is the second quarter that will heavily determine whether budget estimates are met, since this quarter is when most property taxes are collected.” Also on a positive note, the director reported that “sales and use tax revenue for the first quarter … is up by 15 percent over the same period last year. Building permit revenue is also much improved, exceeding the prior year’s first quarter by 20.6 percent.” Mason said landfill tipping fees continue to be a concern. “This revenue stream is running 6.9 percent behind last year. Transient occupancy tax revenue and consumer utility tax revenue were down by 9.1 percent and 4.1 percent, respectively,” he added. The director also said fiscal year 2013 real-estate tax revenues have a current collection rate of 93 percent for the Dec. 5, 2012, levy and 90 percent for the June 5, 2013, levy, which is “on-target.” The current personal-property tax collection for fiscal 2013 is at 85 percent for the Dec. 5, 2012, levy and 80 percent for the June 5, 2013, levy. Mason said sales-tax revenue through the first quarter is up more than 15 percent compared to the same time last year. The “Rainy Day”/Stabilization Fund Balance is “now equal to $6.1 million, or approximately 8.7 percent of revenue.” Mason said the long-term plan is to increase it to 16.7 percent by 2021. Mason also said tipping fees need to be increased so that the North Landfill can be closed in Fiscal Year 2017. Closure costs for the South and North landfills are estimated at $4.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Visit the Eastern Shore Post on Facebook and “Like” us. December 21, 2012 • Eastern Shore Post • 5 Del. Lewis Gets Feedback for Upcoming General Assembly Session By Ron West Del. Lynwood Lewis met with Eastern Shore constituents in Cape Charles Tuesday to discuss issues that will be on the table for the upcoming General Assembly session in Richmond. The session, slated to begin Jan. 9, is likely to focus on transportation issues, as it has in most recent years, according to Lewis. He said Gov. Bob McDonnell is expected to make several recommendations regarding the budget and the road funding shortage. One solution likely to be presented would add sales tax to fuel sales and/or raise the Virginia gas tax to help keep up with inflation. Lewis said that at the present rate of spending, Virginia will run out of money for new road construction by 2017. Currently, much of the money set aside for transportation goes to pay for repairs to existing roads. The General Assembly will consider how to use the reported $220 million surplus, which, according to Lewis, is more of an accounting surplus than actual dollars available for spending. Much of the surplus will be earmarked for the state’s rainy-day fund, water quality improvements, and transportation, Lewis said. The issue of uranium mining will likely occupy some of the six-week session. According to reports, an estimated $7 billion worth of uranium is buried beneath the surface in the central part of the state. Proponents support the mining as it can produce job opportunities while environmentalists oppose it based on concerns that runoff might contaminate water sources. Currently there is a moratorium on such mining in the state. Lewis discussed the issue of privatization of Virginia’s ports. Currently, the Virginia Port Authority operates marine terminals in Hampton Roads. In recent years, Onancock, Quinby, and Cape Charles have received Virginia Port Authority grants for harbor improvements. Lewis spoke of efforts to place NASA Wallops on the fast track regarding lunar rocket launches. Engine and rocket tests are scheduled for early 2013 with the potential for a lunar launch in the not too distant future. Lewis fielded questions on a variety of issues including one from Northamp- ton County Supervisor Willie Randall on ending the payback of hundreds of thousands of dollars from localities to the state. Randall noted that Northampton County had returned approximately $1 million to Richmond in recent years. Lewis stated that McDonnell has said the requirement to return funds would likely be ended. Asked by Cape Charles Planner Tom Bonadeo if the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) funding would be open to discussion by the General Assembly, Lewis replied that more than $600 million had been “borrowed” from the fund by the state in recent years but it is slated to be repaid. Dave Griffith asked about the recent move by the federal government to impose a 20 percent limit on the harvesting of menhaden in the Chesapeake Bay. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, which includes Virginia, supports the reduction as a way to help sustain the menhaden population. Menhaden are a valuable part of the food chain in the bay for several species of fin and shellfish. Texas Based Omega Protein harvests the fish, which are used for a variety of products, including health additives, animal feed and bait. Omega has indicated that any move to impose restrictions might endanger jobs at its processing plant in Reedville.

In a related question, Griffith asked about a proposal to shift $20,000 in funding from the Saltwater Fishing Citation program to the VMRC for law enforcement. Griffith noted that the citation program brings large numbers of sport fishermen to the Eastern Shore. According to the proposal, the program would require individuals to pay for their laminated plaques. Lewis said he supports the program as it is. United Way Nears $1/4-Million Goal The United Way Chapter of Virginia’s Eastern Shore is approaching $240,000 in campaign pledges for the 2012 “The Shore Needs You Now” Campaign. The campaign is only $10,000 from its goal of $250,000. As an added bonus this year, Jane Batten, the campaign’s kickoff speaker, has offered a dollarfor-dollar match for every dollar raised over $225,000, up to $250,000, bringing the total pledges to $275,000. This money will assist over 175 nonprofit entities on Virginia’s Eastern Shore that are instrumental in feeding Kate’s Kupboard the hungry, housing the homeless and providing positive outlets for youth. Jeff Holland, campaign chairman, expressed thanks to all the businesses and individuals who have helped the United Way get to this point. “We appreciate everyone else’s consideration if you have not pledged,” said Holland. “You can donate by going on our website, www.esunitedway.org, calling 787-5622 or mailing to P.O. 605, Onley, VA 23418.

By Linda Cicoira The world won’t end today, despite the conclusion of a Mayan calendar, according to local residents who answered an email survey conducted by the Eastern Shore Post. “I think it’s bunk — scare tactics,” wrote Karen Simpson of Quinby. “NO, I am NOT making preparations. I am open-minded and believe there may be ghosts and aliens here on our planet, but not the end of the world, unless North Korea or Iran decides to blow us up on Dec. 21st.” “If it is the end of the world, the only prep necessary is to be sure you are right with God and accept his grace through Jesus,” answered Nadean Moore of Mappsville. “No,” wrote Melanie Orrell of Chincoteague. “I’m not concerned with the Mayan calendar.” Don Williams of Melfa told about his quest for the truth. “I was fascinated by this prediction, so in 2010 I visited the Mayan temple at Tulum, near Cozumel, Mexico. We were on our annual Caribbean cruise and Cozumel was one of our ports-of-call.” Williams wanted to know what Mexican authorities at the temple had to say. “They told me that the Mayan longcount calendar ends on Dec. 21, 2012. This, however, is only one of several Mayan calendars and the others continue … after Dec. 12, 2012. The long-count calendar is therefore ‘a’ Mayan calendar, not ‘THE’ Mayan calendar. As a result, they totally discount the prediction, as I do now,” wrote Williams. “No, I am not preparing for the end of the world,” answered Kim Caison of Cheriton. “If the world ends, we won’t be here, so what’s to prepare for?” Lenore Hart Poyer of Franktown also isn’t making any special plans. “Someone has always predicted the end of the world every couple years. Remember Y2K? And so on? The world will end some day. But I doubt the Mayans are going to give us a heads up on it. More likely we’ll simply pollute ourselves to death.” “I always keep emergency food to last a little while,” wrote Dorothy Bonney of New Church. “I think the Mayan calendar is saying the end of the age, not the end of the world.” “I think the Mayan calendar stonemason just ran out of space on the disc,” said Jeanne Whaley of Accomac. “Maybe there’s another disc yet to be discovered by archeologists or tourists or a foraging animal.” “I think it may be the end as we are used to,” said Anna Stubbs of Chincoteague. “We may go over the cliff or the Mayans could be right. The Bible says no one knows when it will be, so the Mayans calendar might have just ended. I am not making any plans, just going with the tide.” Kathy Cullen Henley of Painter doesn’t have a strategy either. She takes “one day at a time. Don’t worry about what you can’t change!” “I don’t pay attention to such dramatics,” wrote Shirley Christian of Melfa. “I live each day to the fullest, for as the old saying goes, ‘We never know when it will be our last.’ ” “The Mayans were definitely very intelligent but not even the Mayans can predict the end of the world,” said Cape Charles Medical Center We are here for all of your farm & waterman fuel needs!!

But, I can truly say with all my heart as a Christian, I believe the end times are not that far away.” Linda Martin Warner, formerly of Belle Haven, also didn’t have a plan. “If it is literally the end of the world, then we will all be dead, won’t we? I will probably call all my kids on the 20th and say one last ‘I love you’ just in case.” “It’s strange and exciting how the planets will align,” wrote Debbie Campbell of Silver Beach. “There are some things that the Mayans can explain that don’t necessarily make sense to modern scientists. If the Mayans are correct, we will understand the secrets of the pyramids. Is it possible that there will be a magnetic change that could cause a disruption? Sure. No one knows what tomorrow will hold, so live each day to the fullest and always choose kindness.” “No!!” wrote Tana Parker of Painter. “I believe in God’s word, not the Mayan calendar.” “No, not preparing for the end of the world,” said Shirley Fauber of Greenbackville. “But according to the Bible there is nothing else that has to take place.” Carla Savage-Wells of Onley wrote, “I try to live my life so that I’m prepared for the end of life on earth and the start of life eternal. I don’t have an ‘end of the world’ preparedness kit nor a concrete lined bunker because the Mayans were not privy to inside information.” “I’m pretty sure I’ll wake up on Dec. 22 and we’ll still be here,” wrote Patrick Belote of Onancock. “The Mayan Family Dentistry We accept most PPO insurances and Virginia Medicaid and we provide a full spectrum of services. :HSDUWLFLSDWHZLWK 3HUGXH7\VRQV· ,QVXUDQFH Se habla español Timothy Fei, DDS (757)665-7729 Parksley, VA calendar thing is fun to surmise, but as a Christian, I believe the Bible and it says not to pay attention to anyone telling you a specific date the world will end.” “I am prepared for whatever God has in store for me,” said Janet Dudley of Cape Charles. “If all of that stuff is true, then how do you prepare? You make peace with your God and your fellow man and then you are prepared for anything.” “I don’t think there is an exact date,” wrote Donna Mason of Chincoteague. “I think when the world cannot sustain itself the end will come. I do believe in predestination. I try to make every day count for something so I am prepared for life, whatever it brings.” KKay Kalinock of Greenback said, “Every day is an end of the world day. So if you live each day doing something nice for one person, it makes every day seem a little brighter.” She follows the motto, “Live life like today is your last day as tomorrow may never come.” Cape Center 26507 Lankford Hwy.

Joan Prescott of the Eastern Shore of Virginia Festivals – Tall Ships, and David Shulte of the Eastern Shore Tourism Commission provided a bit of positive news regarding the 2012 tourism season and the visit in June of several military vessels and tall ships. Prescott reported that 7,000 to 9,000 people visited the town over a four-day period to enjoy the events and to tour ships that were in the harbor. She noted that other towns in the county also enjoyed a surge in hotel and restaurant visits that was related to the events that were focused in Cape Charles. Prescott said there also was a huge increase in the number of transient boaters at the town marina and Bay Creek Marina. Capt. Dave Stewart, who spearheaded the Tall Ship visit, spoke of the success and added that efforts are underway to schedule ship visits next summer. Shulte echoed the value of the ships’ visits. In a related area, he stated that efforts are underway to attract Watkins Yacht owners to hold a rendezvous in Cape Charles in May. A visit by a dozen or more of the large vessels would attract visitors to view them at their moorings. Shulte added that additional partnerships with a variety of media groups and tourism alliances are expected to help bring visibility to the area. Expected launches at NASA Wallops in the coming year could help fill lodging rooms. Dave Kabler, himself heavily involved in the Tall Ship visit, spoke of his pride in the way that the town welcomed the ships, crews, and visitors. “Everyone stepped up and helped make the events surrounding the Tall Ships visit a success,” he said, urging town leaders to continue with their tourism efforts. Town Manager Heather Arcos and Tom Bonadeo provided an update for the proposed Cape Charles Yacht Center. The facility, as proposed, would include boat and engine repairs, a 33-boat boatel for storage of vessels, dwelling units, and a 75-ton haulout capability. All of this would be placed on the south side of the town harbor and adjacent to Coast Guard Station Cape Charles. Bonadeo noted that the Planning Commission has agreed to support the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) requested by the owners, South Port, LLC. Arcos noted that the company has invested $5 million in the project. Council will conduct a public hearing on the CUP Jan. 10. Arcos and Bonadeo provided information regarding Phase 2 of the Community Trail project showing how it will look once completed along North Peach Street and Washington Avenue. Eighty percent of the cost is funded by federal grants authorized under the Transportation Enhancement Act for the 21st Century, now succeeded by the Transportation Alternatives Program. Twenty percent of the cost will come from local sources. The trail will be located entirely within the existing Virginia Department of Transportation right-of-way. It is anticipated that construction of the project will begin next fall. Cape Charles residents and businesses moved one step closer to having wireless high-speed Internet service. Council voted to issue a request for proposals for wireless services in association with the Eastern Shore of Virginia Broadband Authority. Speaking for Cape Charles Christian School, attorney John Burdiss asked Council to schedule a public hearing on tax exemption for the school. Burdiss said the Northampton County Board of Supervisors had voted to extend the status. If approved, the town would refund taxes paid since May 10, 2010, in the amount of $2,836. Council agreed to schedule a public hearing at its Jan. 10 meeting. Mayor Dora Sullivan addressed the need emergency medical care once Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital moves from Nassawadox to Onley. She said town leaders are seeking alternatives with other healthcare providers. Prior to concluding the session, Arcos noted that the lawsuit involving the former Cape Charles School that has been brought against several current and former town representatives has been rescheduled for Jan. 25 at 11 a.m. December 21, 2012 • Eastern Shore Post • 9 POSTS Mile •a daughter, born to Megan Bloxom and Roman Brady of Chincoteague Nov. 29 •a daughter, born to Tyquanda Dennis and Darius Robinson of Parksley Dec. 5 •a daughter, born to Anna Wilkerson of Parksley Dec. 10 •a daughter, born to Reneka Harmon of Exmore Dec. 11 •a son, born to Erica Velen Cuevas and Luis F.

Rew during a reception at the Chamber Building in Melfa. This award, for outstanding dedication and service to the chamber and the Eastern Shore community, has been awarded only three times previously in the chamber’s almost 60 years: Bob Bloxom, Willie Holland and the VanKesteren Farms. McMath and Rew’s many accomplishments and services were briefly outlined by the president of the Board of Directors, Dr. Terris Kennedy, who said, “As the Eastern Shore of Virginia Chamber of Commerce is preparing to celebrate its 60th year, there isn’t a more fitting way to bring the 59th year to a close than to honor two men who early on provided a vision for the Eastern Shore of Virginia Chamber and have been so instrumental to the success of the chamber over the years.” Recounting some of the many contributions McMath has made, Kennedy noted that he had been president of Atlantic Publications, which for many years published dozens of community and resort publications in a five-state area; he served as chairman of the Board of Farmers & Merchants Bank — now PNC Bank and the Virginia Press Association. McMath was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates for 14 years, served as chairman From left, Willie Holland, George McMath, H.B. Rew and Bob Bloxom of the Republican Party of Virginia and chaired the Mid-Atlantic Regional Advisory Committee of the National Park Service. He has served as chairman of numerous fund-raising campaigns, and as a member of the Board of Directors and as vice president of the chamber. In 1987 he was the first recipient of the chamber’s Small Business Person of the Year award and in 1995 he received the chamber’s Outstanding Citizen Award. Kennedy noted that Rew had worked for the betterment of the Eastern Shore for over 50 years. He served as vice president of the Eastern Shore College Foundation and was founder of the Annual Eastern Shore College Foundation Golf Tournament, now in its 19th year. Rew is an active member of Drummondtown Baptist Church where he serves as a deacon, moderator, and trustee and on the Finance Committee. Rew has served as a member and secretary of the Board of Trustees of NorthamptonAccomack Memorial Hospital, now Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital. Dr. Kennedy said the leadership and guidance Rew has contributed to the chamber cannot be overstated. He was one of the founders of the Eastern Shore Seafood Festival, a major fund-raiser for the chamber for over 40 years. In addition, the concept of Harvest Festival as a celebration of the bounty from local harvests, one of the chamber’s signature events since 1993, was Rew’s. A successful businessman with Farmers and Merchants, now PNC Bank, Rew served as the chambers 21st president in 1972. In 2001, he was named the chamber’s Small Business Person of the Year and awarded the TriState Association of Electric Cooperative’s “Unsung Virginian” Award.

Wishing everybody a politically correct holiday season with social justice and cultural diversity for everyone. Hoping you and yours get your “fair share” in the coming New Year. From Diggs Bros. 442-9432 Her husband, the late Rev. Vernon M. Bonniwell, was born in Hacks Neck and served in the U.S. Air Force for 29 years. Following retirement from the military, the Bonniwells lived in Illinois before returning to the Eastern Shore. In 1988, full-time retirement from the ministry allowed Rev. and Mrs. Bonniwell to move to Florida, living with their daughter and son-in-law, Nancy and Joe Schmidt, and lastly moving to Vinton, Va. Following Rev. Bonniwell’s death in 2006, Mrs. Bonniwell moved to West Virginia, then Illinois, and for the last three and a half months, she made her home with her daughter and son-in-law, Susan Van Ness and Michael, in Hopewell.

The new system will feature six classes, separated by enrollment, with two regions per class based on “east” and “west” or “north” and “south.” Within each region, there are four conferences, which will host postseason tournaments to determine who makes the state tournament. In football, there will be no conference tournament — just a 32-team bracket-style tournament for each class to determine a state champion — the same as this past year. “It may take some getting used to,” said Gary Reese, athletic director at Nandua High School. “We will have our district schedules pretty much as we have in the past, but a district championship really means nothing now. Our district tournaments would decide an Eastern Shore champion but mean nothing when it comes to advancing to the playoffs.” Imagine this if you can. Arcadia and Nandua are now 2A teams in Conference 33 with King William, Windsor Bruton and Maggie Walker. Some remember Maggie Walker as a powerhouse in athletics that dominated Richmond city schools. But today Maggie Walker is a governor’s school, some three hours away from the Eastern Shore. The enrollment level for 2A teams is 475 students and above. Nandua and Arcadia are each listed by the VHSL as having 587 students. But Northampton, with a VHSL listing of 460 students, falls below that level and is a 1A school in Conference 41 with Chincoteague, Franklin, Surry County, Sussex and Appomattox Governor’s School. Chincoteague, according to the VHSL figures, has 148 students, and only four other schools in Virginia who compete in athletics have smaller enrollments. Schools with enrollments of at least 750 are 3A schools. Bottom line, there will be more travel when it comes to playoffs, but teams will be more likely to play teams with comparable enrollments. Northampton and Nandua, both strong in soccer, could compete for separate state titles because they are not lumped together in the playoff system, although they will continue to be district rivals. In football, although there is no tournament involved, Manassas Park, which defeated Nandua this year in the playoffs, is now a 3A team because its enrollment is above 750. On the other hand, Essex, a powerhouse in football, is a 1A team with an enrollment of 467 that Northampton would have to contend with in the playoffs, but not Nandua and Arcadia. King and Queen, Mathews, Middlesex, West Point and Charles City — teams that played Shore schools this year — all fall into the 1A East in Conference 42 and will be among Northampton’s foes for a playoff position. In addition to Essex in Conference 43 in 1A East, there is Lancaster, Northumberland, Washington and Lee and Rappahannock County, other teams that played Shore schools in football the past year. Schools that are included in 2A East and will be included in playoff competition with Nandua and Arcadia are Brunswick, Greensville, Bluestone, Goochland, Nottoway, Prince Edward and Amelia County in Conference 34 with Clarke County, Madison County, George Mason, Strasburg, S. JacksonQ, Luray and Page County in Conference 35. None of those schools are traditional rivals for either Nandua or Arcadia. Chincoteague plays an independent football schedule and does not participate in football playoffs but will compete in the 1A East for playoffs in other sports. “For the most part, the old Group A schools are now 1A and 2A,” said Reese, while the old Group AA schools are now 3A and 4A. The largest schools, which used to be Group AAA, are 5A and 6A.” Rich Wilfong, athletic director at Northampton High School, is not a fan of the new classification. “We would rather keep our traditional ties with Arcadia and Northampton than have to travel long distances to play teams in our conference,” said Wilfong. “I have been working with the VHSL for over 40 years, and I think this is the dumbest thing they have ever done. There is no level of bureaucracy that goes with the plan, and it will stretch our athletic budgets for meetings and games.” To see where all the schools in Virginia are going, visit the VHSL website at www.vhsl.org/doc Random Thoughts on the Hoop Season Schools will be taking a break until early in the year when the games begin in earnest again. The Nandua boys have emerged as the dominant basketball team in the Shore District with their superior height and depth. The Warriors have registered double-digit wins over all their district foes. However, Coach Cedric Cooper’s team is young and were pushed by Arcadia Tuesday night before responding in the third quarter. Nandua is taking on some stiff competition in a holiday tournament this week at Norfolk Collegiate. Also in the tournament are Churchland and Kecoughtan. It will be a good test for Nandua. A key matchup for Nandua early in the year will be a Jan. 7 home date with Broadwater. The Vikings defeated Northampton by 20 early in the year. It should be an evenly contested matchup that will feature what are now the two best boys’ hoop teams on the Shore. If you enjoy high-school basketball, this will be a good one to mark on your calendar. Among the girls, I am impressed with the Northampton team, who can get double-digit scoring from at least five players. The Lady Jackets have easily defeated their district opponents in running their record to 6-0. In addition to balanced scoring, no team can match the Jackets’ rebounding and depth off the bench. Coach Leo Owens has his team clicking on all aspects of the game. Their toughest test thus far was a 5-point win over Broadwater at the Viking gym. There will be a rematch in Eastville on Jan. 16. That should be another good game. A Quick Note on Wrestling. Northampton, as expected, is having a strong wrestling season under Coach Will Leland. But Nandua is developing rapidly under second-year head coach Nathan Metzger.

Deer Donations Down This Season The Eastern Shore Chapter of Hunters for the Hungry has seen a reduction of deer turned into the program this year. This reduction mirrors the reduction seen at the state level for donations. The goal for this year is 200 deer and the program has had 96 deer processed to date. There are only a few SPORTS SHORTS weeks remaining in the deer hunting season and there remains a strong need for this nutritious product at the foodbank. Since the program began locally in 1997, over 4,500 deer have been donated. This amounts to over 135,000 pounds of processed meat. The program enables hunters to donate a field-dressed deer to be processed into ground meat that is distributed through Eastern Shore Foodbank and Lighthouse Ministries. It costs $45 to process a deer, the expense paid by local fund-raising. With a per-deer fee, hunters are encouraged to donate larger deer to further processing dollars and yield per deer. Deer donors are not required to pay any of the processing costs at drop off, but funds will be accepted if they choose to donate. The processor this year is Brent Powell in Wachapreague (787-7107).

Only a junior, Riopel has a season and a half to add to his total, although the school record of 1,994 points held by Philip Smith is likely out of reach. “I’ve coached Michael since he was 6 years old, starting in the recreation league and then in school ball,” said Broadwater coach Eddie Spencer. “He is a pleasure to coach. He is always working on his game.” Riopel, who made All-Conference as a freshman and sophomore in addition to being second-team All-State last year, is a 6’, 4” point guard who plays forward on defense. Matt McCaskill led the Broadwater team Friday with 22 points, while Riopel added 14. On Thursday, Broadwater fell to Atlantic Shores 67-58 as Brendon Burrows scored 23 and Riopel added 17. “We got down by 14 after the first quarter, but played better and cut the lead to 8 by half,” said Broadwater coach Eddie Spencer. Broadwater’s Brendon Burrows, 12, reaches for a rebound in Friday night’s win over Chincoteague as Matt McCaskill, 10, who led the team with 22 points, keep his eye on the ball. Broadwater’s Claire Rew, 11, is defended by Chincoteague’s Aspen Bowden in Friday’s 51-22 Viking win at Exmore. Viking Girls Win Pair of Hoop Tilts The Broadwater girls’ hoop team won a pair of games last week, defeating Atlantic Shores 42-34 Thursday night on the road and then stopping Chincoteague 51-22 Friday at home. Against Atlantic Shores, the Lady Vikings opened up a 10-7 first-quarter lead and eventually held a 12-point lead after three quarters before winning by 8. Kathleen Kraft and Kristen Lewis had 14 points each, while Claire Rew added 10. Mattie Soto led Atlantic Christian with 17 points. In the win over Chincoteague, Viking coach Ralph Dodd played a mix of starters and subs in two squads for most of the game as nine Vikings scored, led by Lewis with 14, Katie Wendell with 9, and Rachel Fox and Rew with 8 each. Chelsea Pitts led Chincoteague with 11 points. “I tried to give everyone equal time tonight,” said Coach Dodd after the game. “We are working to get in better shape and have some depth.” Dodd noted that Kinsley Hall had an outstanding game with eight rebounds. The Broadwater girls don’t play again until Jan. 3 when they host Isle of Wight at 7 p.m. Michael Riopel, 1, accepts a basketball from Broadwater assistant coach Curt Smith in recognition of scoring 1,000 points in his career. The 1,000th point came in the first half of a 79-42 win over Chinco teague at home Friday night. Looking on is head coach Eddie Spencer and teammate Wesley Shrieves. December 21, 2012 • Eastern Shore Post • 19 Nandua Girls Top Arcadia 53-15; Boys Also Win The Nandua girls’ basketball team used balanced scoring and a suffocating defense to stop Arcadia 53-15 Tuesday night at the Warrior gym.

Deshell Johnson had 6 points and Lili Tuialuuluu added 5 for Arcadia. “We have been working on the basics,” said Nandua coach Kim Giddens. “We have a couple of players injured and are very young, playing mostly freshmen and sophomores, but the girls are working hard.” easily topped Chincoteague 68-28 for their first win of the season as Tyler Major scored 16 and Tyler Warner chipped in with 13 points. Bryant Savage led Chincoteague with 16 points. The Arcadia girls’ varsity basketball team got its first win Thursday night with a 50-22 victory over Chincoteague. Lili Tuialuuluu-Mohler had a game-high 17 points for Arcadia. Deshell Johnson added 14 for the Lady Firebirds. The leading scorer for Chincoteague was Chelsea Pitts with 13. Warrior Boys Get Pair of Wins Northampton Girls Remain Unbeaten Trayvon Snead scored 20 points to lead Nandua to a 69-48 win over the Northampton boys’ hoops team Thursday night at the Warrior gym. Nandua trailed by 1 point at half and took a 4-point lead entering the third quarter before outscoring the Jackets 26-9 in the fourth quarter. Darius Holden added 16 points for Nandua, with Tre’Darius Kellam scoring 12. Holden also led the team in assists with 6, and Kellam led the Warriors with 14 rebounds.

On Tuesday, Nandua defeated Arcadia 64-45 after trailing by 1 at half. “We attacked the paint in the third quarter and got some open inside shots,” said Nandua coach Cedric Cooper. “Arcadia controlled the tempo in the first half, but we used our superior height to our advantage in the second half.” The first quarter was a high-scoring affair with Arcadia holding a 19-16 lead. The Firebirds led 28-27 at half before Nandua stormed to a 22-6 advantage in the third quarter. Issac Taylor had a double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds. Trayvon Snead had 13 points, while Montrae Armstrong added 12. For Arcadia, Tyler Warner scored 15 and Jahab Triggs added 11. The Northampton girls’ basketball squad maintained its unbeaten record at 5-0 with a 53-27 win over Nandua Thursday night at the Jacket gym. Kesi Harmon and Brianna Williams had 13 points each for the Jackets, while Katelyn Weber added 9 points. Whitney Metz and Jateria Harmon added 8 points each. Kesi and Jateria Harmon combined for 34 rebounds for the Lady Jackets. Coach Leo Owens said he is pleased with the team’s depth, with different Lady Jackets taking turns leading in scoring.

Chapter of the Hunters for the Hungry has seen a reduction of deer turned into the program to the date this year. The goal for this year is 200 deer and only 96 deer have been processed to date. Since there are only a few weeks left of deer hunting season, there is a strong need to receive more deer to donate to the local Food Bank. Hunters can donate a field dressed deer to be processed into ground meat to be distributed through the Food Bank and Lighthouse Ministries. It costs $45 per deer to process, which is covered by local fundraising. Deer donors are not required to pay any of the processing costs, but funds will be accepted if they chose to. The processor this year is Brent Powell in Wachapreague (787-7107.) There are refrigerated collection coolers at B&B Convenience Store in Machipongo and the Food Bank in Tasley. Monetary donations may be made out to “Hunters for the Hungry”, P.O. Box 1702, Parksley, VA 23421.

Box 467 Painter, VA 23420 December 21, 2012 • Eastern Shore Post • 31 From Pillar to Post By Angie H. Crutchley W ell, if you’re reading this, then it looks like we’re all still here. I’m referring to the Doomsday prediction that the world would be ending on Dec. 21, 2012. Technically, the Mayan calendar is said to reach the end of a 5,000- year cycle today. Conspiracy theorists, among others, have filled in the blanks for what happens from this day forward. Many, like me, have chosen to prepare, in varying degrees, for a potential breakdown of society. I started when I watched the popular reality series “Doomsday Preppers” on the National Geographic channel. Unfortunately, I’m a little lazy so my prepping consists of a backpack filled with three bottles of water, some Butterfingers, and enough toilet paper to get me through 2013! The prepper community has acquired quite the new vocabulary. “Bugging in” is the term for those who stay in their home during a catastrophe. “Bugging out” refers to those who run for the hills because their primary abode has been compromised by a threat. A “bug out bag” is a bag filled with the necessities to withstand a specified amount of time on the road. While it is undetermined whether or not we’ll sustain a major catastrophe in the near future, it is within reason to have minimal supplies for one’s family in case a natural (or otherwise) disaster occurs. The American Preppers Network (APN) was created to provide communication for those in varying degrees of preparation; www. americanpreppersnetwork.com defines a “short-term bug out bag” as one that will carry a person through 72 hours. Post Office Mail Oystering Law Needs To Change Dear Editor: My dad is 81 and he works an oyster dredge with his friend, who is 75. They have been self-employed watermen all their lives. My dad loves to work, and working on the Chesapeake Bay during the winter is no picnic. Dad’s day starts at sunrise and ends at 2 p.m. When he gets his oyster dredge on the boat, he and his partner have to step up on a board. They then step into the bottom of the boat and cull the oysters caught. These are put into a plastic basket, and then dumped loose onto the bottom of the boat. The process is repeated until the limit is caught or 2 p.m. When they reach the buy boat, a tub is lowered to their boat and they begin the difficult process of shoveling the oysters into the tub. The snow-like shovel with a three-foot handle causes my dad to be in a bent position, and after a long day, this is added work. I am asking the members of the Virginia Marine Resources Commission to allow the men to keep their oysters in the plastic tubs and not dump them on the boat floor. They can transfer their tub into the tub lowered to them and add oysters to fill the required number. It isn’t right to make a rule that really has no good or clear purpose, and instead causes unnecessary hardship. Carlene M. Shores, Tangier The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends assembling the following for a kit at home, work, or vehicle: water - one gallon per person per day; food - non perishable, items, flashlight, battery- powered or hand- crank radio, batteries, first aid kit, medications (seven-day supply) and medical items, multipurpose tool, personal hygiene items, copies of personal documents, cell phone with charger, emergency contact information, extra cash, blanket, and map of the area. There are many helpful hints on the Web advising where to find water. The CDC recommends a bare minimum of half a gallon of water per person per day (a gallon is preferred). Did you know that there are a few gallons in the tank of your toilet and approximately 50 gallons in your water heater? The APN recommends storing a minimum of one month’s worth of food in your home. However, there may come a point when food is scarce. I’m not sure there’s enough gumption in me to swallow a worm, although there are about seven grams of protein per Fitness Should Be Subsidized Dear Editor: The Benjamin Franklin axiom that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is relevant to the American obesity epidemic in our local schools. While state funding and school policies emphasize preparation for standardized tests, physical and health education has been reduced. Virginia does not mandate a specific amount of physical activity. Students are required to take gym class through seventh grade, but it’s an elective in eighth grade and just two years of health and phys. ed. are required in high school. As a self-employed personal trainer, fitness enthusiast and Eastern Shore native, I believe these low-ball benchmarks reflect our healthcare system that is structured to deal with obesity and related ailments and not preventive services. This creates an inequality in the availability of resources for a growing percentage of the obese population who represent lower incomes. As you enter the YMCA satellite fitness center at Northampton High School, you are greeted by silence, although it is one of the few facilities in the county that offers an array of exercise equipment that you would find in a commercial health club. Despite this resource that could be of great value in curving the obesity epidemic that plagues our schools, it has become just another empty room that disqualifies non-paying members. With consideration to the resources that our community has to offer, we are in no position to disqualify anyone, member or not, from worm! Of course that equates to about six earthworms per serving. Ugghh!! But the up side is that for those of us on a perpetual diet, they are very low in fat. Plus, they are way cheaper than the long-term food storage items that can keep for up to 25 years. Shelter can be tricky when traveling on foot in various terrains. If you’re like me, you probably couldn’t tie two sticks together, let alone a shelter large enough for a family. I’m in favor of these retro fall-out shelters. There are companies cropping up all across the nation to cash in on the latest craze in prepper homes and gardens: the ever fashionable bunker. Since the Cold War, these underground little tin cans have been chic and in vogue. Well, I can’t foresee Doug letting me dig up our backyard, so it looks like I’m a cooked goose. If we did meet doomsday today, and this is being read 500 years from now, I would like to let our ancestors know that my bug out bag did not work (it’s probably still in my closet) and that the worms were tastier than I expected. the facilities that will assist them to better health. Preventive services in the form of after-school programs cannot be offered at inflated rates and be expected to make a dent in the obesity rates of lower income households, which represent the majority of the population. Subsidized services could offer a practical solution. My dream is to offer preventive services, such as health education, at rates based on household income. While such a dream may exist only in a Utopian society, I believe that subsidizing intervention services are the only practical way to solve the obesity crisis.
