Section Weems teenager killed in single-auto accident •B• November 6, 2003 KILMARNOCK, VIRGINIA Red Cross looks ahead to VQL collaboration Hurricane delay adds to busy year KILMARNOCK—With the reality of Hurricane Isabel still fresh, the River Counties Chapter of the American Red Cross looks back at the experience for wisdom and ahead to its new headquarters with hope. Delayed briefly by the storm, groundbreaking is imminent for the combined Red Cross/ YMCA building at the Virginia Quality Life (VQL) campus in Kilmarnock. June Turnage, Carole Purdy and Don Mauney, volunteers on the disaster action team, related shelter stories recently with executive director Kate Hanley. They expected 80 to 90 people to visit the Lancaster Middle School shelter during the storm. Instead, 400 showed up. As volunteers set up cots late Wednesday afternoon, the line formed outside the school. Among the 64 who came the first night were people living in low areas or having medical needs. As instructed, they brought their linens and medications. On Thursday, school cafeteria manager Virginia Parks cooked a hot breakfast and hot lunch. By afternoon, the winds were up, power was off, and hot food was a thing of the past. Waves of residents descended upon the shelter. Department of Social Services employees registered people as fast as they could. The gymnasium became a dormitory, with wrestling mats for beds. Three nurses and a physician tended the crowd. School nurse Jane Vogel kept expanding usable space. At Dr. Matt Vogel’s suggestion, a woman a little more than nine months pregnant drank Gatorade and held on. A threeweek-old premature baby also was fine. OCRAN—James Forrest Riley III, 16, of Weems died Saturday, November 1, following an auto accident at 1 a.m. on Ocran Road near Route 647. Virginia State Police Trooper C.W. Davis reported that Riley was a passenger in a 1993 Ford Explorer driven by William Bradley Walker, 16, of White Stone. Walker lost control of the vehicle and ran off the right side of the road, hitting a tree, reported Davis. Alcohol was not reported as a factor in the accident, but vehicle speed was estimated to be in excess of the 40 mile-per-hour safe speed for that section of road, he said. Riley, who was not wearing a seat belt, died at the scene. Walker sustained minor injuries ‘Can you hear me now?’ Department of Social Services staff members (from left) Muriel Moore, Sandra Shultz and Michele Simmons register people coming to the shelter. A generator grid accommodated three people with oxygen and allowed for transfer of power, but lights were dim. When numbers required a second set of restrooms to be opened, firemen brought lanterns to light the space. Red Cross volunteer Charlie Carneal brought his mop. YMCA employee Tammy Barton supervised energetic children. Wally Beauchamp wore multiple hats: ARC chairman, Lancaster County supervisor and chairman of the county’s emergency operations. Watermen gauged wind velocity by the cracking of the trees. The sleepless gazed in awe at brilliant post-storm stars. On Friday morning, the line for coffee was long. As quickly as the overnighters had come, they left. Sheltered during the storm, they wanted to go home to see what still stood. By Friday night, basic needs had shifted to food and tree removal, and the job of the shelter was over. Numbers exceeded expectations. The gym grew stuffy. When doors were opened for circulation, unregistered teens slipped in, hoping to play basketball. Patience at times wore thin until people remembered they were all in the same boat. Even imperfect, it worked. Even crowded, everyone was safe. Even needing more volunteers, the many who came forgot about damage at home and focused on the needs of the sheltered. Strangers called to ask what they could offer. In a hurricane, no agency stands alone. Shelter through the storm was successful due to (continued on page B10) by Reid Armstrong HEATHSVILLE—Cell phone users in Northumberland County know the frustration of trying to get a decent signal. Most know the few, precise locations where the signal grows strong enough to make a call. A minor dip in the road can terminate the call instantly. People get used to making their phone calls last only the distance to Heathsville, or they quickly press the “send” button as they cross the Great Wicomico River. Poor cell phone reception is the number one complaint that comes through the office of county administrator Kenneth D. Eades, he said. For all those people, said Eades, there may be good news. A developer claiming he has a commitment from Verizon is seeking a permit to erect a new cell tower in Burgess. James L. Dunn needs a special exceptions permit from the Northumberland board of supervisors to construct a 275-foot communications tower on property he owns Taylor’s Creek, Devil’s Bottom road projects remain on track by Robb Hoff LANCASTER—County supervisors last week approved an $8-million secondary road program for the next six years. Updated annually, the current program allocates $3.3 million in new funding. Nearly $2.5 million has already been earmarked for current projects and an additional $2.1 million needed to complete the program will be allocated in subsequent six-year plans. The new six-year plan includes a $3.1 million Taylor’s Creek Road reconstruction and drainage project, which will receive $982,000 over the next three years. Previous funding will cover the rest of the cost. Virginia Department of Transportation official Clyde Hathaway said heavy construction for the project is expected to start late next summer. The next costliest improvement is a $2-million alignment project for 1.5 miles of Devil’s Bottom Road that extends onequarter mile east of Daniel Drive to Laurel Point Road. The project has not received any funding to date and is not projected to receive any funding until 2007-08. Meanwhile, Devil’s Bottom Road Preservation Society coordinator Don Shanklin delivered a petition signed by 750 county residents requesting that the board nominate the road for state designation as a Virginia Scenic Byway. Shanklin also asked the board and VDOT officials not to “spend millions of dollars on a lovely country road that is well-drained, Several new items await town council WHITE STONE—The White Stone Town Council will meet tonight, November 6, at 7 p.m. at 572 Chesapeake Drive. Several new business items are set for the agenda, including an update on Federal Emergency Management Agency assistance for the town; a review of the proposed town budget for 2004; a discussion of items for the new town office site, including architect input, renovation phases and a phone system; an update on funding for Phase 2 of the Main Street project; an update about the town’s initiative for centralized water and sewage services; a discussion of Lancaster County audit findings about the town’s state sales tax revenues, and a donation for the White Stone Volunteer Fire Department. A Closer Look L ancaster County’s history started with a meteorite. Lancaster County’s history book started at The Sandpiper. Lancaster County, Virginia: Where the River Meets the Bay will soon be ready for holiday sale. The only native at that Sandpiper table seven years ago, Audrey Davis Smith, regaled her come-here friends with childhood stories of the Northern Neck. She told them about spending the night at Nancy Norris Foster’s house in Lively on Halloween, about going after school each day to the Kilmarnock Planing Mill, which Audrey’s family started (and still run); about sneaking off to school without her flannel petticoat only to have her mother show up at mid-morning with the pesky thing tucked visibly under her arm. She talked about the storm of ’33 when watermelons crashed down the creek and one man’s privy landed on another man’s boat. She remembered horrible blisters after marching in new shoes with area primary pupils across the Tappahannock bridge on opening in the crash and was charged with reckless driving. Riley is survived by his parents, Charles W. and Susan T. Haydon of Weems; his sister, Lauren Haydon; and his brothers, William Riley of Weems and Brian Haydon of Richmond. His grandparents are Mary Ellen Haydon of Weems, Mary A. Taylor of Cumberland, Md., James F. Riley Sr. of Stevensville, Md., and Lee Crout of Mt. Airy, Md. Riley was buried Monday at Campbell Memorial Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Weems. He was a student-athlete at Christchurch School. Memorial contributions can be made to the Christchurch School Athletic Fund, 49 Seahorse Drive, Christchurch, VA 23031. well paved and well marked.” He cited other projects for consideration in its place, such as the restoration of the Merry Point Ferry that sustained ramp damage from Isabel, and blinking caution lights at the intersection of Irvington Road and James Jones Memorial Highway, and the intersection of Mary Ball Road, Merry Point Road and Lancaster High School. “Spend some money, but do some good with it instead of destroying the rustic beauty of our county,” Shanklin said. Supervisor Donald Conaway said safety outweighs other issues for the section of road, on which VDOT has recorded an average daily traffic count of 470 vehicles. “I have to ask the question: Which is most important, scenic or safety?” added Conaway. Another Devil’s Bottom Road project approved was the replacement of the wooden bridge over Browns Creek at a cost of $730,000. “That bridge is not going to last forever,” said resident engineer Joseph Staton. “I think the sufficiency levels on it for now are low.” Bids on both of the Devil’s Bottom Road projects are not expected until July 2013. The third costliest improvement is a $932,000 alignment (continued on page B10) across from Bobby’s Marine on Jesse duPont Memorial Highway. The board will hold a public hearing on the matter at 7 p.m. on November 13. The hearing is at the courthouse in Heathsville. If approved, the new tower would double the number of towers in Northumberland and may improve reception between Heathsville and Burgess and Wicomico Church. Eades was unsure whether the signal would clear Surprise Hill to improve reception in Reedville. Currently the only cell tower in Northumberland is in Miskimon. Near the borders there’s a tower in Village in Richmond County and one on Good Luck Road in Lancaster County. Once the tower is built and Verizon is online, other service providers are apt to follow suit. Recently, Dunn came before the board of supervisors on a separate matter. He is also interested in building a resort hotel and marina at Glebe Point. Supervisors tabled that request pending an opinion from the (continued on page B10) Police Reports ‘Blue Ribbon’ status recognized The Lancaster County Board of Supervisors last week adopted a resolution recognizing Lancaster Primary School for its recent “Blue Ribbon School” award from the U. S. Department of Education. From left, board chairman Cundiff Simmons presents a copy of the resolution to assistant principal Kathy Bush and school superintendent Dr. Randolph Latimore. (Photos by Robb Hoff) Supervisors also recognized LPS teachers, many of whom attended the presentation ceremony. Lancaster County Sheriff Ronnie Crockett reported 10 arrests last week. Marcus O. Forehand, 35, of Hereford, N.C., was charged October 30 in Accomack County with abduction, malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a felon in connection with an August 19 shooting in Lancaster County. Six unidentified individuals were arrested October 30 after the multi-jurisdictional Rappahannock River Narcotics Task Force conducted early morning drug raids in Northumberland and Lancaster counties in conjunction with the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Department, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Virginia State Police. Under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Richmond, the arrests were made from 32 sealed federal grand jury indictments for involvement with cocaine distribution. Participating in the operation were the sheriff’s offices of Lancaster, Northumberland and Middlesex counties, the White Stone Police Department, the Middle Peninsula Drug Task Force, the Virginia Alcohol Beverage Commission, the Virginia Department of Corrections and the Northern Neck Regional Jail. The identities of the individuals arrested were not disclosed pend(continued on page B10) by Jane Tims day, about taking the steamboat with bor, Ammon Dunton Sr., now de- of Mary Ball Washington Museum and Library, and has tax-exempt status her mother to Baltimore to buy clothes ceased, who gave her $10,000. “I went home with my feet up above through that link.) for college, about Sen.

B2 Churches by John Howard Farmer pastor, Irvington Baptist Church But Now I Can See As a recent Sunday evening drew to a close, I was alone in my office putting the finishing touches on a project over which I had procrastinated for far too long. Shutting down my computer, I turned to stand when I suddenly went blind. I plopped back into my chair, confused by my loss of vision. As I inventoried the situation, I realized that the left lens had fallen out of my glasses. With one eye in focus and one out, I couldn’t see much of anything. I leaned forward out of my chair and as I was doing so I realized that the left temple stem was detached from the frame. Now catch this: here’s an old white-haired blind chap feeling a deep-pile carpet trying to find a screw so tiny that he couldn’t even see it. Patting my way around my chair, I used my fingers lightly so as not to bury the little rascal. Hallelujah! There it was, about two feet from where I had been sitting. Well, that could have been “the rest of the story,” as Paul Harvey would say. Rummaging around in my desk I found my eye glasses kit. I waddled to the kitchen where I could get enough light to at- Baptist Beulah Baptist 4448 Mary Ball Road, Lively; 462-5000 Rev.

Instinctively I I was already wondering how I was going to get reached for my glasses. They weren’t there. I had left them downstairs taped together along with my car keys. Cautiously I felt my way down the stairs and ‘round the corner to the kitchen to fetch my bride’s first cup of coffee. With the able assistance of the handrail, I pulled back up to deliver my coffee offering. Got to keep her happy. A few minutes later I hosed off and repaired the preacher, then dressed him. Back down the stairs I went. Then it hit me. I could stop by my brother-in-law’s shop and get a repair on my way to the dentist. Things were looking up. Soon in the van and heading to Kilmarnock, I rolled into the parking lot at the Northern Neck Eye Center. Lewis Shelton is the chap who works in the attic, grinding Coke bottle slugs into fields of vision. He chuckled at my arrival and held his hand out. He promised to fix me. In a jiffy he had me seeing better than ever. He even cleaned my glasses. He’s been my brother-in-law for four years and has fixed my glasses twice. Simple and silly isn’t it, how we can see clearly at times and not at others? Both Bible and hymnal tell the story. We know it well. It just takes a little reminder like broken glasses to remind me of what I already know. “Once I was blind, but now I can see. The light of the world is Jesus.” I thought about how many times Christ had held his hand out to me. Like Lewis, he knew it was an easy thing to get me seeing better. All I had to do was ask.

Sports Rappahannock Record, Kilmarnock, Va. • Nov. 6, 2003 • B5 Devils squeak into playoffs; Devils tally 20 Indians rack up 10-0 season points against by Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi The varsity Lady Devils had to win at least one of their Northern Neck District volleyball matches last week to avoid a last-place finish. They did, and enter this week’s varsity playoffs in fifth place. Lancaster will play fourth-place James Monroe tonight (November 5) in the quarterfinals of the district tournament. The Devils beat the Yellow Jackets13-25, 23-25, 25-13, 27-25, 15-13 last Tuesday to improve to 2-8 in the league. “It was an overall well-played defense that gave us the chance to win this match,” said LHS coach Dave Zeiler, whose team was two games down but picked up three straight wins to take the best of five series. Kori George led behind the line, serving for 11 points with two aces. Jennifer Combs, Brittany Dodson and Becky Smith each served for 10 points, with Dodson acing one. Kelle Urban led the net play with two kills and two blocks. Smith also had a pair of kills, while Combs recorded one kill and a block. Northumberland capped an unbeaten season Thursday with a 25-9, 25-8, 25-10, win over Lancaster. The Lady Indians get a first round bye in the tournament after going 10-0 in district play for a first-place regular season finish.

Around the District by Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi Here are reports on other football games last week involving Northern Neck District teams: Northumberland 39, Rappahannock 6 The Indians’ offense amassed 390 yards Friday for a 39-6 Northern Neck District win over Rappahannock. David Stables completed 11 of 21 passes for 217 yards and four touchdowns as Northumberland improved to 4-4 overall and 1-3 in the district. Rappahannock scored on a 21-yard pass from Jarrod Scott to Chris Lee on its opening drive, but was shut down for the remainder by an Indian defense that produced four turnovers. Jonathan Veney, Brandon Turpin, Dusty Taylor and Michael Stevens each intercepted a Scott pass. Rudy Bowis had four tackles, three assists, a tackle for a loss and a sack and Colin Smith had two tackles, four assists and a sack. Northumberland took the lead for good in the first quarter on an 8-yard pass from Stables to Smith and a two-point conversion toss from Stables to Michael Swift. Swift led the receivers, catching five passes for 83 yards and a touchdown. The Indians scored four second-quarter touchdowns to go up 33-6 at the half. Stables hooked up with Veney, Swift and Dexter Sutton for passing touchdowns and Brian Myers scored on a 5-yard carry, all in the second period. Taylor capped the scoring with a 3-yard run in the third quarter. With nine different ball carriers, the Indians gained 173 yards on 35 carries. Northumberland plays at Lancaster Friday, November 7, in the annual Bay Bowl. A trophy and bragging rights are on the line.

The win puts Essex (5-3, 3-1) back in the Region A race. The Trojans are now tied with W&L (6-2, 3-1) for second place in the Northern Neck District. Essex visits Rappahannock this Friday, November 7, and W&L hosts undefeated James Monroe. W&L 0 0 0 0 Essex 7 0 7 7 E -- Ball 5 run (Ball kick) E -- Beamer 3 run (Ball kick) E -- Beamer 1 run (Ball kick) The Essex High defense led the Trojans to a 21-0 Northern Neck District shutout over Washington & Lee. W&L’s usually explosive quarterback, Joe Taylor, was contained for just four yards rushing and 47 yards passing. The district’s leading receiver, Devin Smith, was held to two catches for 17 yards. Carter Ball, who rushed for 94 yards, had the only first-half score with a 5-yard run in the opening period. After stopping the Eagles on their first possession of the second half, the TroLancaster jans went 63 yards and up by two touchdowns Senior linebacker Brian Jarwith a 3-yard run from vis led Lancaster’s defense Josh Beamer.

Swift, who doubles as a defensive back, also had three tackles and five assists. ✵ sightings of this type be reported to them. The Asphalt Pile (AP) Reef has also been very productive during the past few weeks. The AP reef has a longer profile and can accommodate more anglers than the NN reef. Give it a try and diversify your fishing holes. Weekdays there have been an average of 18 boats fishing on each reef per day. On weekends the average has been 37. The reefs were paid for with our saltwater fishing license money. They have greatly enhanced our local fishing. Trolling action for the large striped bass is slowly improving. The best results have come between Smith Point and Point Lookout. The channel edges are holding schools of menhaden and, during the morning hours, are yielding some jumbos up to 36 inches. It is still early for this action, yet the first have begun to arrive. Get your trolling gear ready and hang on for a great fall season. Bluefish have dropped off this week, making up only a fraction of landings. The best bet for landing blues is to seek out the breaking fish. There have been surface feeding schools between the Northern Neck Reef and Buoy 62 each morn- ing. The lower Rappahannock River below the bridge has also been home to breaking fish. Another location that has offered surface action is between Windmill Point and Dividing Creek. There are a mix of striped bass and blues in that area. Trout have been very elusive this week. There are not many schools of fish at this time. Most of the trout are found in scattered groups. Sting Silvers and Braid Slammers are the best jigs. I have been using 3 to 7 ounces, depending on how strong the tide is running. When jigging below the Asphalt Pile and above the Cut Channel, some nice rockfish are being landed in lieu of the trout. The rockfish are great fun to catch when jigging. Some of the rockfish are measuring over 30 inches in length. “Fishing is not so much getting fish as it is a state of mind, a lure for the human soul into refreshment.” —Herbert Hoover Enjoy the water this week. Don’t take anything too serious, just enjoy the day. Until next time…Fair winds. Capt. Billy Pipkin owns and operates Ingram Bay Marina and Capt.

Warm water cools fishing Northumberland by Capt. Billy Pipkin and two TDs and rushed for 54 yards on 11 carries to lead the offense. Savoy was seven of 13 passing for 137 yards. Robert Durante carried the ball 32 times for 131 yards and three touchdowns, scoring on runs of 3, 2 and one yards. “They lined up in the fourth quarter with two tight ends and the power I, which is our nightmare,” said Jarvis. “We just don’t have the linemen to compete with that.” Neither the Jackets nor Devils put their best teams on the field. JM was missing at least three starters, including senior fullback Curtis Krauth. Lancaster was minus two of its running backs and five players total. The Devils will end Northern Neck play Friday, November 7, when they host Northumberland in the Bay Bowl. Lancaster lost 24-23 to the Indians in the season opener. “This is a big game,” said Jarvis, “and I’m worried about Northumberland’s size. They’re bigger than we are and they’ve got the ability to take the ball and keep it for first down after first down. What we need to do is make sure we don’t turn it over and don’t make those mental mistakes with penalties.” Lancaster turned the ball over three times, leading to three Northumberland touchdowns, the first time the two teams met. Rockfish cooperative by Capt. Ferrell McLain With pretty weather last weekend, the chumming grounds were a bit crowded and the rockfish were cooperative. The best bite was in the morning at the beginning of the ebb tide. The bite tapered as the ebb peaked and picked up again in the afternoon when the tidal currents slowed. Several boats tried for trophy catches by trolling in deeper water. The Fishing Line by Capt. Billy Pipkin Beautiful weather graced the Northern Neck this week as anglers found conditions favorable nearly every day. The calm seas continued to offer excellent opportunities for the small boat operator to venture out into the productive waters of the bay. Warmer air temperatures have held the water at 63 degrees in the Reedville area. The lower bay is registering similar levels as well. The upper bay from Annapolis down to Thomas Point is experiencing cooler 60 degree water. Striper fishing in the upper bay has slowed as many have already moved to the south. Striped bass fishing is red hot locally and has no signs of cooling off in the near future. Chumming continues to provide easy limits of 22- to 28-inch fish. The populations are healthy and swelling by the day. The Northern Neck Reef remains a popular location for chumming. A new yellow buoy has once again been placed at this location. Several buoys have been lost over the years due to tugboat traffic running over them. The Virginia Marine Resource Commission asks that any -- 0 -- 21 by Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi The Devils may not have beaten James Monroe Friday night, but they came away from the 41-20 loss able to brag about one thing. Lancaster (2-6, 1-4) scored more points against the undefeated Yellow Jackets than any other team this year, including powerhouse Essex, which was shut out by JM. Before last Friday’s game against the Devils, the Yellow Jackets’ defense had given up just one touchdown all season and delivered six shutouts in seven games. Although JM (8-0, 4-0) never trailed, Lancaster kept the pressure up the whole game and was down by just two touchdowns with six minutes to play. “We gave them two quick touchdowns in the first quarter and had trouble coming back from that,” said LHS coach Billy Jarvis. “The kids played hard and they never quit.” JM quarterback Jeff Scott, who completed 9 of 17 passes for 113 yards, tossed two touchdown passes in the first quarter. He hit Will Withers first with a 15-yard pass then Andre Correa with another 15-yarder. Joel Lambert converted both with PAT kicks to give the hosts Jackets a 14-0 lead. Lancaster’s Jamie Veney sprinted 71 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter to cut JM’s lead to 14-6 at the half. A two-point conversion would have tied the game in the third quarter after Akene Savoy connected with Montell Mitchell on a 67-yard pass play in the third quarter. Savoy was stopped short of the goal line as the Jackets held on to a 14-12 lead. James Monroe scored four touchdowns in the second half to put the game away. Mitchell caught his second TD pass of the night, this time a 40-yard toss from Savoy, in the fourth quarter. Mitchell had five receptions for 130 yards by Capt. Jerry Thrash Warm weather has made striper fishing a challenge. Water temperatures in the middle bay raised 3 to 4 degrees last week and threw the fish off their urge to feed. The best bites occurred on Windmill Bar at daylight and dusk. Most of the fish taken by trolling were 16 to 20 inches. A 37.5-inch striper was taken aboard Less Stress. Fly fishermen and light tackle anglers continue having good luck from shallows around docks and other sturctures in the Rappahannock. Tautog have been active on the iron ore bottom near Wolftrap Light and off Gwynn’s Island. They are biting clam and crab. (Capt. Jerry Thrash operates Queens Creek Outfitters in Mathews.)

Devil JVs net .500 season in volleyball by Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi The Lancaster JV volleyball team capped a .500 season last week with a pair of wins and a loss. The Lady Devils downed James Monroe and Mathews and lost to Northumberland to end the year at 8-8 overall and 4-6 in the Northern Neck District. Lancaster, which finished in the middle of the pack among JV teams, will not advance to the district championship. Northumberland ended Lancaster’s season last Thursday with a 25-22, 25-13 defeat. Sara Caudle led the servers with five points. Abby Robbins, Ashley Brien, Tiffany Lee and Emily Elbourn all served for four points each. Caudle and Tabitha Rinehart had 11 sets apiece. Caudle served for eight points with an ace and Elbourn for four in Lancaster’s 25-23, 25-21 win over Mathews last Wednesday. Rinehart led in the middle with seven sets, while Caudle had five and Elbourn got above the net for two kills.
