Circulation 13,000 Free Accomack Board May Raise Tax Rate To Cover EMS By Linda Cicoira Accomack’s real-estate tax rate could go up by 5 cents per $100 valuation to compensate for low property assessments and increases for Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Earlier this week, county officials explained that the 6.8 percent across-the-board drop in property values would cause landowners to pay a total of about $654,000 less in taxes. By “equalizing the rate” by 2.5 cents, the county would take in the same revenue and balance the draft FY 2014-15 budget of nearly $52 million. Ideally, real-estate bills would remain about the same with this method. However, it gets a little more complicated because not all areas have had the same declines. According to the draft, values in Atlantic District went down 9.3 percent while at Captain’s Cove/Greenbackville, they dropped 14.5 percent. Metompkin is down 9.2 percent. Lee District real-estate values fell 6.5 percent. Pungoteague decreased by 7.6 percent and Chincoteague properties saw only a 1.7 percent decline in value. Most farmland gets a lower rate for land use. Supervisor Wanda Thornton complained about the system. She contends that the rest of the taxpayers pick up the $1 million burden. The other 2.5 cents is expected be added to hire additional EMS workers in an effort to keep emergency response time below the standard 20 minutes. The proposal is $1.05 million more than the current budget, up by about 2 percent. With equalization and the EMS change, the tax rate in Atlantic, Metompkin, Lee and Pungoteague districts would go from 53 cents per (Continued on Page 5) February 14, 2014 ♥ Old-Time Valentines See their story on Page 19 Northampton Board Promotes Business, Sours on AFDs By Ron West The Northapton Board of Supervisors took two actions Tuesday might which could be considered “pro-business.” The board approved a request for a special use permit (SUP) by Robert Sellers Jr. and Teresa Talbott to operate a small-engine repair business on their property at 5094 Captain Howe Ln. in the Meadows subdivision south of Eastville. The applicants agreed to the supervisors’ requirements that they add opaque screening, properly dispose of waste materials, and limit operations to daytime. The supervisors also granted Eastern Shore Communications’ request to rent space on the county-owned water tower adjacent to the regional jail for the purpose of deploying antennas for wireless Internet service to Eastville, Smith Beach, Old Town Neck and parts of Savages Neck. The lease calls for the company to pay annual rent of approximately $600. The board discussed a request by John Wescoat to remove his farmland from the Glebe Agricultural-Forestal District (AFD). Consequently, three nearby property owners also connected to the Glebe AFD would need to apply to be included in another AFD. Such a request would require a $500 application fee. Supervisors Larry Trala, Oliver Bennett and Chairman Larry LeMond said they could not support expansion of the AFD program as it substantially reduces the county’s tax income. None of the property owners involved personally farms his property; they rent it to other farmers. LeMond noted that though property owners can apply to the board to join an AFD, they need to be aware that the majority of supervisors likely would not support such a request and the (Continued on Page 3) 2 • Eastern Shore Post • February 14, 2014 Bloxom Wins GOP Nomination for House Seat By Linda Cicoira Robert (Rob) S.

February Freeze Raises Thousands for Habitat for Humanity By Ron West Most residents of the Eastern Shore were just shaking off the chills of another winter morning Saturday as 59 brave soles dashed into the icy waters off Cape Charles. Air temperatures hovered just above freezing while the water that lapped at the sandy beach remained a toasty 36 degrees. These human Popsicles were not trying to rush the summer swimming season, but rather were taking a plunge to help raise money for Habitat for Humanity’s 18th annual February Freeze. Habitat has sponsored the event for nearly two decades as a way to draw attention to the needs of Shore residents who wake up shivering in inadequate housing every winter. According Habitat Executive Director Nancy Gonzalez, in their 25 years of operation, Habitat volunteers have built 40 homes for those in need on the Shore. The 41st home has just been started in the Cheapside area. Teams and individuals who took part in the “dip” collected $7,781 in donations toward cost of constructing the new home. Special recognition was given to Northampton County Sheriff David Doughty for collecting $3,000; he also charged out into the icy waters to join the others dippers. As he shivered on the beach following the event, he commented on how “thoughtful” it was for several of his deputies to support him by sitting in their warm patrol cars Say “I Love You” with something Sweet to Eat! from KATE’S KUPBOARD Cookies ♥ Cakes ♥ Pies ♥ Order Early Belle Haven, VA • 442-PIES while he had to walk down the street cold and wet to his vehicle. For the second year in a row, the team from Broadwater Academy was the top money-raising team, bringing in just shy of $1,000. Sabrina Parker, principal of Kiptopeke Elementary School, managed to dash into the bay while maintaining her poise in a Marilyn Monroe wig. Despite the northeast winds, not a curl was out of place. Parker’s team garnered another $800+ for Habitat. Gonzalez thanked these who braved the chilly water, as well as more than 20 volunteers who registered the dippers, collected their donations, and prepared a warm lunch for returning dippers.

The board received a report from the Ad Hoc Emergency Committee appointed to explore options to provide emergency medical services to residents of the county once Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital moves from Nassawadox to Accomack County in 2016. While committee member Pat Coady noted that most people want a type of emergency room, a lack of funding is likely to be a deal breaker. Instead, the committee recommended that the county look at expanding its Emergency Medical Services (EMS) by adding at least one ambulance and increasing staff — a combined cost of $665,000 per year. Additionally, the committee recommended that partnerships be established with medical providers that already serve the county, including Eastern Shore Rural Health and Riverside Health System, as well as new providers, such as Sentara Healthcare. Regardless of the service provider, it was recommended that a minimum of a nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant provide extended weekday and weekend hours and include basic laboratory and radiology services. It also was suggested that the county look at creating helipads in the north, central, and southern parts of the county to facilitate medical transport. Coady stressed that the county cannot wait for the hospital to move to Onley before preparing for the challenges that will be faced in 2016. The supervisors also heard from Sherri Smith, who told them the county needs to support the concept of the Artisans Trail as a way to draw additional visitors to the area. She noted that such a trail would help agriculture and aquafarming in the area, as well as crafters, giving them an additional outlet for selling their products. Smith emphasized that she was not asking the county for funding for the program, but rather wanted them simply to endorse the concept. The board voted unanimously to endorse creation of an Artisans Trail. In other business of the evening, County Finance Director Leslie Lewis reported that projected county revenue for FY 2015 would be somewhat less than the previous year. County resident Robert Meyers recommended that the board press the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to move forward with a review and possible modifications to traffic flow around the Cape Charles traffic signal and the adjacent Food Lion shopping center. Noting that VDOT had previously indicated it would not make changes to the access roads until the county showed an improvement in traffic enforcement, he said it is evident that such enforcement is helping to reduce speeding and therefore it is time to press VDOT for the changes. During the public information session, county resident James Kellam, who is 100 percent disabled, asked the board to consider exempting disabled veterans from part or all of their personal-property taxes, noting the difficulty of meeting financial obligations. Bennett advised Kellam that the matter would be looked into. Public information sessions on the proposed Zoning Ordinance and its amendments will be held Feb. 26 and 27 at Occohannock Elementary School and Kiptopeke Elementary Schools, respectively, from 7 to 10 p.m. ESCC Needs Money for New Facility By Linda Cicoira Eastern Shore Community College in Melfa is planning to get a new main school building, estimated to cost between $18 million and $20 million, President Linda Thomas-Glover told Accomack County supervisors Wednesday that she is asking the two Shore counties to put up a total of $1.4 million, with “a significant” amount of money coming from the state. The plan calls for Accomack to fund about $675,000 over three years. A request was included in the county’s draft FY 2014-15 budget. Northampton is being asked to pay $333,000, also in three installments. A feasibility study recommended the new structure be erected since it would be “difficult” to get the existing building “up to code,” the president said. The Accomack-Northampton Planning District Commission is working to get grants for the project. Florist By The Sea Remember Valentine’s Day is Today!!!

When Accomack’s new Hunter/Landowner Advisory Committee met for the first time to attempt to mend the rift between those who hunt deer with dogs and irate landowners who have complained that hunters trespass and intimidate them, it was soon discovered that all seven committee members are hunters. There was also a split among them about using dogs to hunt deer. Three committee members are “still-hunters” or don’t use canines to get their prey. One said he doesn’t hunt with dogs, but could remain impartial. Two of the still-hunters want to shorten the season for those who hunt deer with dogs, contending the dogs run off the deer. All the members were men. In the end, they took no action, made no recommendations and decided to meet again in about two months. Supervisor Grayson Chesser, chairman of the group, is a former game warden and owns a hunt club with his wife. He takes out groups to hunt mostly ducks and geese. He started the session by asking the others to be respectful. “The spoken word is just like a bullet,” he said. “There is no taking it back.” Hunters need to “come to an accommodation to make less tension,” he said. “It looks like to me a lot of the problem … is with public opinion. If they (those who hunt with dogs) want to continue … they will have to win that war some way … our area is changing and we have to change with it. … I’m afraid if we don’t come up with some ideas that will work to lessen the tensions, eventually you will lose that right. You can’t win this battle with confrontation.” Last fall, property owners complained dog hunters trespass with guns and intimidate them. The law allows hunters to go onto someone else’s property to retrieve their dogs, but they may not drive or take firearms with them. Some landowners further complained that the dogs damage property. Still-hunters said dogs run the deer off and confrontations between gun carriers could lead to injury. Only a half-dozen people who were not officials attended Tuesday’s sessions. Only one, who did not identify himself, spoke at Tuesday’s session. A deer hunter who uses dogs, he argued that deer return after the dogs leave and the season should not be shortened. Hunters who use dogs contend it is the only way to control the large deer population that destroys crops. Committee member Ned Finney, who belongs to a hunt club, said using GPS collars has improved relations. “When they (the dogs) did come out on the road, I was there,” he said. “It’s costly but it works well.” George Waldenmaier, a committee member who still-hunts, said he has set up cameras that show deer disappearing after dogs have come through his property. “Once the dogs start, it closes the season down,” he said. “I want it stopped.” He suggested that only stillhunters be allowed to hunt during the first half of the six-week season. Committee member Greg Breuker of Onancock also belongs to a hunt club and hunts near Waldenmaier’s property. “If they (the deer) are not being shot on your property, they return because they’re safe,” he said. David Fluhart, president of FHA Hunt Club and a committee member, said halving the season wouldn’t be fair since the costs to care for the canines is the same regardless of the length of season. He wants more information about the percentage of problems that occur with those who hunt with dogs. He believes the problem is minimal. “This year was fairly quiet … don’t need any change,” said Fluhart. “I don’t want to stop anything,” said committee member Sonny Hall of Cattail, a still-hunter. “Things are too good for all of us. I don’t want to stop your tradition,” he said. All seemed to agree that most problems are caused by hunters from other areas. “Anything we could do to limit Accomack to local clubs?” asked Hall. Sgt. Steve Garvis, a warden with the state Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, said that would be a statewide issue. “People in other areas will have an equal say,” he warned. Chesser said the answer could be a “stricter code of ethics. … So much boils down to common sense and common courtesy. Unfortunately, you can’t legislate those things.” VOTE TUESDAY Feb. 25, 2014 At Your Local Voting Location A A February 14, 2014 • Eastern Shore Post • 5 Pre-trial Motions Set Stage for Bundick Arson Trial By Linda Cicoira Arsonist Tonya Susan Bundick could ask an Accomack Circuit Court jury as early as April 10 to acquit her of 62 counts of deliberately setting fires to local structures. But if it’s anything like last time, motions will postpone the proceeding. In January, just before closing arguments, a two-day jury trial ended when Bundick changed her pleas to guilty in Virginia Beach Circuit Court to two charges, arson and conspiracy to commit the crime. She used Alford pleas, allowing her to maintain innocence though evidence would likely cause convictions. Bundick, 40, who was living in Hopeton when the crimes occurred, could be sentenced to a maximum of 10 years and a fine of $2,500 for each offense. The remaining charges are connected to fires set between November of 2012 and March 2013. Bundick’s fiancé, Charles Robert Smith III, 38, pleaded guilty last October to deliberately setting 67 buildings ablaze. He also blamed her for crimes. All the fires set during that period caused about $2 million in damages. No one was injured. Bundick has asked for a change of venue for the upcoming trial. A hearing has not been scheduled for that request. Judge Glen A. Tyler moved the trial last time because he said too many Shore residents were associated with crime victims or first responders. The defendant also has asked Tyler ~ to allow her to be properly groomed for the event. She apparently contends she was denied that right during the last trial. Witnesses said they overheard her being turned down when she asked for makeup and a comb. She specifically requested the court permit her “to appear … properly groomed that is that she be allowed to wash and groom her hair shortly before trial and that she be permitted to apply and use appropriate makeup, all in order to permit her to present herself to the jury in her best posture.” Court records show Commonwealth’s Attorney Gary R. Agar wrote a letter to defense lawyer Allan D. Zaleski confirming Bundick’s trial would begin at 9:30 a.m. April 10, 2014. Bundick contends she is innocent. At her trial last month, she told jurors she was unaware of what Smith was up to. Accomack Budget ~ (Continued From Front Page) $100 valuation to 58 cents. At Captain’s Cove/Greenbackville, where a mosquito tax is included, the rate would go from 55 cents to 60.5 cents. On Chincoteague, the rates would increase from 47 cents to 49 cents for equalization only. The budget includes a 2 percent one-time bonus for county and state-supported employees. Finance Director Mike Mason said the proposed state budget has a similar bonus. Employee health-insurance premiums are expected to decrease by 12.7 percent, Mason added. Around $200,000 will be needed to “fund the revamped retiree health insurance benefit” and “to expand the Virginia Retirement System health-insurance credit to include county workers.” “Accomack Schools gets about 53 percent of all property taxes, other local taxes and non-categorical aid,” Mason continued. The School Board is asking for $217,843 over the current year to put toward teacher salary gaps. The contribution to the Rainy Day/Stabilization Fund is listed as $783,305 for FY 2014-15, which will bring it to $7.6 million, 11.5 percent of revenue. The goal is on target for 16.7 percent by 2021. Personal-property tax rates are proposed to remain the same, $3.72 per $100 valuation for all districts except Chincoteague, where the rate would be $3.63. County Administrator Steve Miner suggested the supervisors consider hiring a human resources officer. The board cut that position more than five years ago. 6 • Eastern Shore Post • February 14, 2014 Court Postings By Linda Cicoira Accomack Grand Jury A quiet indictment handed down by an Accomack Grand Jury earlier this month was made public Monday.

Thirty-one-year-old Torrean Vitonia Washington admitted to breaking into three houses and stealing property from one of the residences on July 23, 2013. A fourth charge of burglary was not prosecuted in exchange for the guilty pleas. A 10-year-old girl could identify Washington, Commonwealth’s Attorney Bruce Jones told Judge W. Revell Lewis III. “My impression is Mr. Washington did not realize anyone was there. … Once he went in and realized the house was occupied, he left.” A 13-year-old girl was also home. Both ran and locked themselves in a room. Washington tried another nearby house. He knocked on the door and again thought no one was home. But a woman was there. “When he saw her, she yelled and he left,” Jones said. No one was home at the third house, so he stole a television.

Washington also will be evaluated for detention and diversion programs. He was remanded to jail.

We love our 10-minute ‘vacations’ driving through the wildlife refuge watching for bald eagles, ducks, herons, egrets, deer, wild ponies, and even snowy owls.” Shotwell believes the island busi nesses deserve tremendous recognition for earning Chincoteague the reputa tion as one of the most hospitable vaca tion spots on the East Coast, according to Trip Advisor, which gave Chinco teague a top 10 Traveler’s Choice award among America’s islands for 2013.

Chandler also has been involved in the American Pharmacists Association Academy of Student Pharmacists and has been an active participant in patient care projects. Riverside Chief Nursing Officer Terris Kennedy recommended Chandler for the scholarship. “I have known Kaylyn since 2004 when she was still a high school student,” noted Kennedy. “Kaylyn was extremely active in high-school activities and excelled in her academic studies. It has been my pleasure to watch Kaylyn grow into a very professional young lady who has made significant contributions to her community, her university and her chosen profession while pursuing her educational goals. This is a young lady who is passionate about helping others, has a keen interest in raising cancer awareness and has an interest in improving the future of pharmacy. Kaylyn never ceases to amaze me with her drive, tireless energy, commitment and passion to contribute.” Chandler’s interest in pharmacy began long ago, when she worked as a candy striper at Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital in junior high. Her interest in health care continued as she started a Relay for Life Team called “Rx for Hope,” and she runs for breast cancer awareness twice a year. When her father, Foston Chandler, was diagnosed with cancer, she learned a lot about his medications, and it helped that she had begun her pharmacy education. “Dad was on a lot of meds, and it helped that I could ask my faculty about the side effects. I hope that as a pharmacist one day I can help answer questions for someone and reassure them about their treatments,” Chandler said. Although her father died two years ago, her experience fuels her passion to help people understand their medicines. For the past five years, Chandler has worked at a pharmacy as part of her education. She says that she loves the patient interaction that comes with the job. She expects to graduate in May 2015. 10 • Eastern Shore Post • February 14, 2014 Obituaries Rosie Doyle Rosie Doyle, 76, of Michigan died Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2014, in Grand Blanc, Mich.

The national average price of gas could reach $3.55-$3.85 per gallon, according to the Amrican Automobile Association (AAA). The current Virginia average is $3.27 for regular gas, 28 cents cheaper than last year and 4 cents below last month. “Winter weather, weak demand and sufficient supplies have kept gas prices relatively low recently, but this trend is unlikely to last much longer,” said Georjeane Blumling, spokesperson for AAA Tidewater. “Driving to the gas station could be a lot more frustrating as prices increase this spring.” Prices generally rise in the spring because many refineries cut production to conduct seasonal maintenance, which can limit gasoline supplies and cause market uncertainty. This maintenance generally takes place between strong demand periods for heating oil in the winter and gasoline in the summer, and before the regulated switchover to summer-blend gasoline. Last year, the national average increased 49 cents per gallon over 41 days before peaking at $3.79 per gallon on Feb. 27. Gas prices similarly increased 56 cents per gallon in spring 2012 and 86 cents per gallon in 2011. “Few other products can rise in price so suddenly,” continued Blumling. “Just imagine if a cup of coffee or a hamburger changed its price daily like gasoline.” After a springtime peak, gas prices generally fall as the refinery maintenance period ends and production returns to normal, though there could be temporary price in- creases as stations switch to summer-blend gasoline or because of unexpected problems. By late June, the national average could drop to $3.30-$3.40 per gallon, which likely would be the lowest price until late autumn. Last year, the state average reached a summer low of $3.32 per gallon on July 7. Gas prices declined 61 cents from springtime peaks in summer 2012 and 44 cents in 2011. In 2014, Gulf Coast refineries will likely have increased access to cheaper U.S. oil from the center of the country, as well as refining capacity at historically high levels. These two factors alone would make the case that pump prices for the south Atlantic region, which includes Virginia, should be lower this year. However, cheaper wholesale gasoline also increases the incentive to export product overseas, which increases demand and can put upward pressure on prices. By October, gas prices should start a long decline towards the end of the year due to weakening demand and the switchover to less expensive winter-blend gasoline. The national average last year reached a low of $3.18 per gallon on Nov. 12 and similarly averaged $3.22 per gallon in December 2012 and $3.21 per gallon in 2011. In Virginia, the lowest price for regular unleaded gasoline per gallon in 2013 was $3.05 on Nov. 12. So ...You’re Thinking About Buying A New Car! Have You Thought About Insurance?

Riverside, Sentara Donate to Local EMS Emergency Medical Services (EMS) teams from Northampton and Accomack counties recently received donations from Riverside Health System and Sentara Healthcare. Riverside donated $12,500 to each county and Sentara presented $8,500 to Northampton County EMS. “Limited grant funding has challenged us with placing fully-capable LifePak 15 combined monitor/defibrillators in service countywide,” said Hollye B. Carpenter, Northampton EMS director and Emergency Management coordinator. The Riverside donation “will help us continue our project to upgrade all units, offering all features possible, enhancing our tools to assess and care for our patients. This equipment is considered the new standard in emergency care.” “With this equipment, Northampton squads will be better equipped to help patients before they get to the Emergency Room door,” said Beverly Misuna, director of Patient Care Services at Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital. In Accomack County, Riverside’s donation will fund the lion’s share of a Lucas Pneumatic CPR Device for the county’s Sprint vehicle, according to Jeff Terwilliger, director of Public Safety. “The equipment’s benefits are that one responder can start high-quality CPR, that the automated device frees up responders to provide other prehospital care such as establishing an airway or administering medicines, and that CPR can be provided during transport without having a provider stand up in the back of a moving ambulance,” said Terwilliger. Sentara Healthcare’s donation will help upgrade one of eight LifePak-15 portable EKG devices carried on ambulances in Northampton. “This upgrade will help us assess respiratory status on cardiac patients more thoroughly, especially on long transports,” said Carpenter. “We appreciate the work of our prehospital partners in EMS,” said Joseph T. Butz, senior divisional vice president for Sentara Heart®. “We couldn’t have better partners in serving the Shore,” said Dr. Susan McAndrews, Riverside Shore Memorial’s administrator. “Our local volunteer and paid EMS personnel are a critical part of the health care safety net for residents. The first responders provide excellent care in the field, the hospital provides exceptional care here. … It’s a team effort.” “We are glad to support the community,” said Misuna. “Helping local first responders have the latest and greatest tools is one way that we can help patients access emergency care as fast as possible, and we are glad to do it.” Photo by Ron West Northampton Board Chairman Larry LeMond (left) receives an $8,500 check from Sentara Medical Group for EMS equipment.

It is the story of Sheppy and Elsie, pictured on the front page of today’s edition, looking like a young couple very much in love. Sheppard “Sheppy” Doughty was born in 1896 on Hog Island and died in 1970 in Quinby. He left Hog Island after the storm of 1933 and was wellknown as a barber in Quinby. Constance Elsie Etheridge was born on Sept. 11, 1900, and died in 1976 in Reading, Pa. Elsie’s father, Henry, came from England in the 1870s to America, where he worked at the Reading Foundry making brass fittings for lighthouses. It is believed Elsie’s father first came to Hog Island to make brass fittings for the Hog Island lighthouse, built in 1896. He liked the place so much he brought his family to vacation there. That’s when Elsie met Sheppy. This love story comes to you thanks to extensive research by Dr. Ted Spence, a Chincoteague dentist who also was a classmate of mine at Central High School. Searching through materials left behind by Sheppy and purchased at an auction by Frankie Smith, Spence discovered the story of Elsie and Sheppy. But bringing it to life was Archie Doughty, 87, who Spence believes is the only living person who knew both Sheppy and Elsie. Doughty, a resident of Quinby, is Sheppy’s nephew. Doughty says Sheppy kept a Model A Ford in Willis Wharf and would take Elsie around the mainland. Once he brought Elsie to his brother’s home in Quinby, where they met Archie. Sheppy even visited Elsie several times in Pennsylvania. “They were madly in love,” Doughty told Spence. Elsie was a sophisticated city girl and dressed the part. Notice the high heels in the front-page photo taken on the beaches of Hog Island. She was rarely seen without a hat. Sheppy, on the other hand, was a country guy, a typical Hog Islander who worked hard, lived off the land and played hard, too. According to Archie, the young couple would sometimes meet at the Red Dance Hall at the end of Hog Island. Sheppy, known as a prankster, liked to play tricks on the islanders. Once he hung a white sheet from a tree in the graveyard and hoisted it whenever an unsuspecting person walked by. The story goes that one islander was so scared he ran home and ripped the door off his house to get in. Every summer, Elsie and Sheppy spent time together. Although travel was ardurous in 1915 when they first met, Elsie made the trip to Hog Island in less than a day. Out of Philadelphia, she took the Express Train, which zipped along the rails at speeds up to 65 miles per hour and could reach Exmore in about three hours. From there she would travel by wagon to the Point Farm (now called Virginia Landing) and take a schooner to Hog Island. Hog Island and Cobb Island further south were then premier travel destinations for summer tourists, as well as waterfowlers who came to hunt the ducks and geese that darkened the skies in the winter. President Grover Cleveland was among the notable guests. All that came to an end when the horrific storm of 1933 destroyed many of the homes and buildings on Hog Is- never married. Sheppy was buried in a family plot in Quinby, miles away from Reading, where Elsie is buried near her English parents. Once they were united in love, but apparently they never found another after the storm of ’33. The tombstone of Elsie Etheridge in Reading, Pa. land. According to his nephew, Sheppy was one of the last residents to leave Hog Island around 1936, when the water was lapping at his back steps. But the storm left even more damage in Sheppy’s heart. Elsie never came to the island after the storm of 1933. Archie Doughty told Spence, “They would have been married, if not for the storm.” Surely, there were other factors too. A trained nurse, Elsie cared for her father, who had Bell’s Palsy, after her mother died in 1928. Spence traveled to Pennsylvania and spoke to Elsie’s best friend, Joyce Hiller. Spence learned Elsie was always cooking for church gatherings at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Reading. He found her tombstone, pictured above. He also learned Elsie never married, and, according to her best friend, was not known to have had a boyfriend in Reading. As a young boy growing up in Quinby, Spence worked alongside his twin brother, Terry, and father, George, gathering clams, oysters, fish and, most of all, crabs that were kept in a crabhouse that sat adjacent to the Quinby Bridge. He also went to Sheppy the barber, and although he did not know about Elsie then and never heard Sheppy mention her, he knew that Sheppy also Sheppy Doughty pictured on Quinby in the later years of his life. 20 • Eastern Shore Post • February 14, 2014 Northampton P&R Co-Ed Volleyball Northampton County Parks and Recreation Co-Ed Volleyball will begin Monday, March 10.

The win was the third in four games for Nandua over Arcadia and left the Warriors with only one district loss and an 11-5 overall record. “Happy to get the win, but the play was ragged on both sides,” said Nandua coach Cedrick Cooper. “Too many turnovers, and we let them back into the game at the end.” Arcadia was down by 20 at the end of the third quarter, but closed to within 8 points with just under two minutes remaining. Trayvon Snead led the Warriors with 21 points, including 9 of 12 from the foul line. Evan McGregor, just up from the junior varsity, had a careerhigh 17 points with a pair of 3-pointers. Troy Planter scored 13, and Tyrreim Blake added 11. For Arcadia, Teon Giddens had a team-high 14 points, John Wright scored 12, and Travon Copes and Atlantis White added 10 each. Nandua will host a conference game next Thursday. Firebirds Top Northampton Arcadia jumped to a 23-12 first quarter lead and rolled on to a 68-52 win over Northampton last Thursday night at home. The Firebirds placed four players in double figures as Travon Copes led the way with 22 points, followed by Teon Giddens with 13 points, John Wright with 12, and Eric Grinnage with 10 points. For Northampton, Raquan Anderson had 18 points, with Zeb Carter adding 11. Brian Christian had a team-high nine rebounds with Tysean Stratton grabbing eight. 11th Annual SPORTSMAN’S AUCTION Fri.

The win was the Vikings’ 14th straight and gave Broadwater a 17-5 record. “We were focused early and executed when it counted,” said Viking coach Eddie Spencer. “It’s all on the guys. They played great. It’s nice to be peaking at the right time.” The win left Broadwater one game out of first place behind Williamsburg Christian, a team it beat during this streak. The only two Metro Conference losses for the Vikings were early season defeats to Atlantic Shores and Williamsburg Christian. Brendon Burrows led the Vikes with 25 points and 11 rebounds. Burrows was 7 of 8 from the floor with a pair of 3-pointers. Michael Riopel scored 23, with Frank Long and Wesley Shrieves adding 11 each. On Tuesday, Broadwater ripped Alliance 85-30 as Shrieves scored 18 points, Riopel had 16 and Matt McCaskill added 14. Broadwater stretched its winning streak to 12 Friday night with a 66-45 road win over Isle of Wight. Burrows led the Vikings with 20 points, followed closely by Riopel with 19 and Shrieves with 17. Broadwater held a 36-21 halftime lead and then stretched it to 54-27 after three quarters. The Vikes were 12 of 15 from the foul line. Adam Webb led the Chargers with 12 points. On the season, Riopel leads the Vikings in scoring with 19.6 points and rebounding with 6.2 per game. Burrows is averaging 14.9 points per game and is also second in rebounds with 5.8 per game. Broadwater concludes its home season Monday with Senior Night when the Vikings host Stonebridge at 7 p.m. Metro Conference play begins next Thursday with all games at Alliance Christian.

Nandua advanced four wrestlers to the finals with Jack Schreiber (113), Tyrek Collins (120), Thomas Reid (145) and Jake Smith (285) all moving through the brackets to reach the championship match.

Locally Owned, Locally Operated February 14, 2014 • Eastern Shore Post • 31 Posted at Sea Level By Linda Cicoira I f I could get a better handle on what dogs and cats think, I would have all the answers. It’s just that simple. So try considering these questions. Why do dogs chase cars? I know they don’t think there is a difference between fire hydrants and tires, but is that really what the thrill is all about? I doubt it. Are they trying to commit suicide? Nah. Do they think the biscuits are in the back seat? Perhaps. Or are they simply trying to bond with humans? Uh, we really do think the world revolves around us, don’t we? Why do cats like to sleep with their heads upside down? Does it make them see their dreams better? How come cats knead the dough or make muffins or whatever one is supposed to call that exercise that accompanies purring? Why do some cats spend the whole day outside (in the giant litter box called a yard) only to relieve themselves when they get inside? Do they think it’s funny to watch us clean the litter box? I never see any of them around when I do this. Apparently, they don’t like to hear me complaining. Why don’t more of them chase cars? If dogs and cats were in charge of the grocery store, would they put essentials like milk, toilet paper and bacon at the back of the building and candy and baked goods in the front? Not the bacon. And definitely, not the milk. Why are dogs so fond of playing tugof-war and catch? Why will cats and Post Office Mail Cancer Victim’s Friends Ask for Help for Him Dear Editor: This letter is about our friend, Billy Maddox of Parksley, whom we are trying to help. I’m a “come here” who wants to be a “from here,” and 30 years ago, my wife and I were blessed to find a small farm on the Shore, with dreams of retiring here. But those dreams disappeared when Carmen died of cancer and now our good friend, Billy Maddox, has this awful disease which threatens his life and his business. For years I’ve gone to Billy’s “one man” shop behind Parksley Post Office for auto parts, small-engine repairs, electrical issues and even problems with my small tractor. Like most people on the Shore, he is an honest, hard-working and caring person who has helped and served folks since 1979. After his radiation treatment ends, Billy will be operated on this month and have to leave his business in the busiest time of year. To help Billy with his medical bills, living expenses and to keep his business going, a number of his friends are chipping in and asking others to contribute. If you can help, please send a check to Billy Maddox, P.O. Box 826, Parksley, VA 23421; or stop by Randy’s Automotive in Parksley (665-4136) to give some help. Gerry Hyland, Supervisor, Mount Vernon District Fairfax County Board of Supervisors dogs drink out of the same water bowl? And why do they prefer toilet water to any other water? Does the porcelain bowl keep it colder? Why don’t we have bowls like that for them? Do dogs and cats really roll on their backs so we will rub their bellies? Why do they hide their treats in places from which they can’t or won’t retrieve them? When they bring us a mouse or a mole, are they waiting for praise or trying to help us take care of ourselves? Should I stop repeating the high pitch sounds my cats make? Am I getting it wrong and saying something stupid? What does it mean when they answer? Do they really like my singing or do they come running because they think I’m hurt? How come boxes and paper shopping bags are so appealing to cats? Why will they easily back into the cat carrier, but fight as hard as they can to go in forward? Why do dogs have to make a circle So Many Democrats at Republican Mass Meeting Dear Editor, I would like to congratulate Rob Bloxom Jr. for winning the Republican nomination Saturday, Feb. 8. I would also like to sincerely thank the voters of the Eastern Shore and 100th District for taking time from their busy schedules to attend the Republican nomination for delegate of our 100th District. Based on the turnout on Saturday, I also look forward to seeing the number of members in the Republican committees on the Eastern Shore swell beyond measure. It seems a record number of Democrats have seen the light and fled the Democratic party, as we had a multitude of individuals who have previously supported the Democratic parties attend this Republican event! While I am certain we all wish the process had been easier and quicker, please keep in mind the process was run by volunteers who did their best to accomplish the goal of the day. I sincerely hope all the voters who turned out will work equally as diligently to hold whomever prevails on Feb. 25 accountable to conservative principles and proper representation of our Eastern Shore. Melody Scalley, GOP candidate Post OpEd Page before they lie down? Yeah, I know, to knock down the grass. But what about when they are in their beds? What does it mean if they go clockwise versus counter-clock wise? And why, why, why do they want to come right back in the house after begging to go out? What would dogs call themselves if they could choose their own names? Would Tank rather be called Big Sexy like that wrestler Kevin Nash? Or would he prefer Tony after his owner? Would my cat Finnegan want a Persian name instead of an Irish one? Or would he rather have an Italian first name to go better with his last name? Alessandro Cicoira. I like it! What is the perfect valentine present for your animals? I don’t think they care. They are not wrapped up in the material things. That sounds good. But how do I know that? The cats would probably love a big heart-shaped box to get in. And dogs sure do like to water the flowers. Happy Valentine’s Day!
