Free December 14, 2012 Lewis Looks to General Assembly By Bill Sterling The Northampton Board of Supervisors had a light agenda Tuesday night in Eastville, where attendance never numbered more than 10, including officials and reporters. State Del. Lynwood Lewis presented an overview of the upcoming General Asembly session in Richmond and also heard what the board feels to be key issues. Lewis said “tweaking the budget” would be a primary task for the General Assembly. He added that Gov. Bob McDonnell has said he wants to add $500 million a year to transportation needs but has not divulged where the funds would come from. Lewis said he believes there would be opposition if the general fund that includes money for education were used to build roads. Noting that transportation issues are not just an urban problem, Lewis told the board, “Rural areas have transportation needs, too.” Lewis was asked by the supervisors if it is possible for localities to grant “tax holidays” now provided by the state to enable taxpayers to be forgiven interest and late fees to encourage the back payment of taxes. Chairman Oliver Bennett had asked County Treasurer Cindy Bradford earlier in the meeting if there are ways to work with those who can’t pay taxes as a result of illness or unemployment. “I am not talking about people who blatantly don’t pay their taxes,” Bennett said, “but I don’t want people to have their houses threatened if they have lost their job after 20 or 30 years of working.” Supervisor Larry Trala said he has been approached by many peo(Continued on Page 12 Circulation 13,000 Tax Scofflaws Identified Santa Claus Is Coming to Towns Photo by Linda Cicoira Above, Santa hitches a ride on an Exmore firetruck during the Exmore Christmas Parade last Saturday. And he’ll be making return appearances on the Shore this weekend. Tomorrow, Santa will visit Eastern Shore Library in Accomac from 10 a.m. to noon. and distribute books and candy to children. He then will fly into Accomack County Airport, where he will visit with children from 1 to 3 p.m. The following day, Sunday, Santa will be escorted by Melfa Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company to Vance’s in Melfa at 1 p.m., Kool Ford in Keller at 2 p.m. and Pungoteague Store at 3 p.m. By Linda Cicoira More than $640,000 worth of delinquent Northampton real-estate and personal-property tax bills recorded in lists dating back to 2006 were updated recently on the county treasurer’s website. The tallies do not include penalties or interest and show only the top 40 debtors for each year. To visit the site, go to www.co.northampton. va.us/gov/treasurer.html Approximately $272,000 worth of real-estate bills are from tax year 2011. The top 10 debtors for that year owe a total of more than $165,000. The highest debt, $34,035, is for Bay Creek Marina and Resort, LLC. Batista J. Madonia Sr. and his wife Evelyn M. Madonia, tomato growers, have two properties for which a total of $31,151 in back 2011 taxes is owed. Also on the top 10 list of delinquent tax bills for 2011 are Bay Creek, LLC, with $18,271.61 in arrears; Baymark Construction Corp., $17,395; CPD at Nottingham Estates, LLC, $17,076 (and topping the 2010 list with the same amount in unpaid real-estate taxes); Oscar H. Smith Jr., 15,303 (and $4,608 in 2010); Bay Harbour Reality, Inc., $11,437; Shooting Point, LLC, $10,614; and Shore Hospitality, LLC, $10,605. The top 40 delinquent real-estate bills from 2010 total around $116,000. Bayview Citizens for Social Justice, Inc. is on that list and tops tallies in 2009, 2008 and 2007 for a total of about $24,500. Also listed in the top debtors for 2010 are The Sandi Corp., owing (Continued on Page 2 2 • Eastern Shore Post • December 14, 2012 Property Acquired for Hospital Relocation By Linda Cicoira Progress on the new hospital in Onley continued with the recent acquisition of land earlier this month. Shore Health Systems, Inc. and Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital purchased nearly 56 acres adjacent to the town and behind Four Corner Plaza, according to papers filed in Accomack Circuit Court last week. William Schab sold the property for $1,050,000. The site of the new 78-bed hospital and a medical office building will allow the structures to be about 1,000 feet from both Market Street and Lankford Highway. “This is an exciting milestone in the development of our plans to build a technologically advanced healthcare facility to serve the Eastern Shore community into future decades,” Robert Leatherbury, chairman of the Riv- erside Shore Memorial Hospital Board of Directors, said in a prepared statement released Tuesday. “Each step brings the future a little closer,” he added. “Next we look forward to breaking ground and watching the new hospital rise and take shape. Ultimately, we look forward to opening our doors and serving our community.” From Market Street, according to hospital plans, a driveway will access parking near the main entrance. Riverside also has an option for a second property for an entrance from Lankford Highway that would provide direct access to the hospital’s Emergency Department. Hospital officials said the importance of green spaces for natural drainage throughout the campus was a priority in the design. A minimum of 60 percent of the landscape will be native plants. Stormwater will be directed to the back of the property into two ponds designed to manage significant drainage. “We believe that local healthcare is the best option both for patients and the vitality of the community,” said hospital Administrator Joseph Zager. “This new facility will help us deliver on our mission of caring for others as we would care for those we love. … Making healthcare accessible and convenient for as many of our patients, friends and neighbors as possible is essential to this mission.” Refuge Manager To Address Session Atlantic District Supervisor Ron Wolff will hold his monthly constituents’ meeting at Wolff’s Sandwich Shoppe in Atlantic Monday, Dec. 17, at 7 p.m. The speaker will be Chincoteague Wildlife Refuge Manager Lou Hinds.

The Navy will determine the specific date to conduct the flight demonstration based on operational and training requirements, aircraft availability, and fweather conditions. In September, the Navy released a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate the potential effects that could result from the Navy’s proposal to conduct regular, scheduled E-2 and C-2 FCLP operations at either Emporia-Greensville Regional Airport or WFF. Under the proposal, these aircraft would conduct up to 20,000 FCLP passes annually at the selected field. These twin-engine, turboprop aircraft are considerably quieter than jet aircraft, according to the Navy. The Navy expects to complete the EA in January and announce a decision shortly thereafter.

Gift Certificates Drawing Refreshments 3304 Main Street Exmore, VA 757-414-0111 SBA Offers Disaster Loans to Shore In response to a request from Gov. Bob McDonnell, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has made low-interest disaster loans available to individuals, renters and businesses on Virginia’s Eastern Shore to help them recover from Hurricane Sandy. The governor asked for a federal SBA disaster declaration following the denial by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) of his request for the Individual Assistance Program. “Unfortunately, the damage we had in Virginia was not of the severity or widespread enough for us to qualify for Individual Assistance,” said McDonnell. “Although we considered an appeal of the FEMA decision, it is very unlikely it would be successful, and waiting for another decision would only delay assistance that can be provided through disaster recovery loans.” SBA loans are available to individuals, renters and businesses in Accomack and Northampton counties. An SBA office will be located at the Eastern Shore Fire Training Center, 28598 Beacon Rd. in Melfa, and open through Thursday, Dec. 20, except for Sunday, Dec. 16. Office hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. SBA customer service representatives will be on hand at the center to answer questions about the disaster loan program, explain the process and help individuals complete their applications. Loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. Both homeowners and renters are eligible for loans up to $40,000 to repair or replace damaged or destroyed personal property. Businesses and nonprofit organizations of any size may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory and other business assets. “We appreciate the SBA low-interest disaster recovery loan program very much, yet there is a need for additional assistance to help people rebuild,” said the governor.

They would rather stay home with family than go to Disney World for Christmas. The majority is dreaming of a snowy holiday. And nearly everybody has given a great gift at one point or another. Those details and more were disclosed this week in an email survey conducted by the Eastern Shore Post. Melody Howard of Chincoteague remembered fondly the best present she ever bestowed. “I really had a hard time getting pregnant and I gave my Mom and Dad a … card on Christmas morning with a note saying I was having a baby!” “I would rather have Rudolph as a friend” than Frosty, Howard wrote. “He is dependable in a crisis” and her favorite reindeer. She plans on spending $500 for presents this year. Howard would rather go to Disney World than stay home “since my family has never been” to the resort. “I usually don’t have to dream” of snow. “I’m from Northwestern PA and spend the holiday there and we usually have a white Christmas!” Howard wrote. The best present Debbie Campbell of Silver Beach ever gave was to her daughter and it really came from someone else. “Finding my daughter’s doll that was lost on a trip and being able to have Santa return it” was a perfect gift, wrote Campbell. “I will always be grateful to the woman who responded to my ad and returned the doll. … We wouldn’t have had the real magic of Christmas if it hadn’t been for that wonderful stranger … God bless that lovely lady.” Campbell remembered the way her daughter “inspected her doll in disbelief, checking for every mark and blemish that was on her well-loved baby. Then she was sure and the magic of Christmas filled the room.” This year, Campbell said, she is cutting back on spending. “That’s not what counts. It’s the love and thoughtfulness that goes into the gift,” she said. “I will bake for many of my friends and neighbors and enjoy the visits that go along with the deliveries.” Healthcare that Fits Your Needs “Home with the family or anywhere with the family” is where she’ll be for Christmas. “Being able to give to others each year is always the best for me,” Kim Caison of Cheriton said. “I don’t have one ‘best’ present that I have given. They all come from the heart.” Rudolph was her pick and favorite reindeer. “He will get me around in the dark/fog with his nose so bright and he doesn’t melt when it gets warm.” Caison said she would spend “more than last year, that’s for sure” for gifts. She would rather be home than go to Disney World for the holiday. Yes, she is dreaming of a white Christmas. “That is the only day I do like snow.” Pamela Upshur of Cheriton chose Frosty over Rudolph “because he is always jolly! It goes a long way!” She won’t be spending a lot for Christmas this year. Asked about home vs. Disney World for Christmas, she replied, “I would just hope to be home with my family, good cheer, good spirits and lots of food and laughs.

Eastern Shore Physicians & Surgeons riversideonline.com WE PAY CA$H She chose Blixen as her favorite reindeer. “I just like the name.” The only reason she’s dreaming of a “White Christmas” is “to hear the recorded versions (with) Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Doris Day or Mariah Carey.” Shirley Christian of Melfa guessed the best present she ever gave was “the one that made someone the happiest. I would hope that it wasn’t only one gift and that it wasn’t only once.” How much will she spend for those presents this year? “TOOOOO much!!!” Christian said. She couldn’t pick between Frosty and Rudolph. “If you chose Frosty, Rudolph would be offended and his nose would stop lighting, and if you chose Rudolph, Frosty would just up and melt away!” Christian wouldn’t go to Disney World for the holiday. “I like a quiet time to reflect on the reason for the season.” She also likes “all” the reindeer. And what about a white Christmas? DEFINITELY NOT!!!!!!!!!! I had 59 of them when I lived in the Poconos … and quite frankly I am enjoying the Kate’s Kupboard The cookies are out, fruit cakes are ready! Kate & Jackie are baking up a storm. Come on in & smell..... time is running out.... 442-PIES Colonial Square Belle Haven, VA December 14, 2012 • Eastern Shore Post • 5 lack of snow down here. I saw enough snow-related foot and car accidents to last me a lifetime.” Pam Crandol, formerly of Saxis, thought the best presents were the waterbeds her sons got one year. “The most rewarding gifts are the ones that I give to Angel Tree or to those that need a helping hand. I think they help me more then they do them.” Crandol also plans to spend “too much” on gifts. “I want to be home for Christmas with my tree and my family and friends.” She favors a “white Christmas if it could just be on the grassy areas. I want families to be able to visit each other on Christmas Day.” Linda Martin Warner of Highland Springs (formerly of Belle Haven) said this year she would be giving her best present. “For $50, I am buying a small part of Scotland and having my husband declared a Scottish laird.” Warner picked Rudolph “because I don’t have to wait for him to come back again some day.” She’ll spend about $500 on presents this year. Her favorite reindeer is Comet. “I gave up dreaming of a white Christmas as a child. Growing up in Tidewater meant a brown Christmas every year. Used to have a white 4th of July when I lived in Wyoming though.” Gary Callaway of Accomac picked Rudolph. “Not a doubt, Rudolph is coming back each year regardless, but with Frosty,” global warming could cause him to never be seen again. Callaway is piling up the Christmas bills this year. “Having four fantastic granddaughters will definitely take its toll on the ole pocketbook,” he said. “Wouldn’t have it any other way though.” He isn’t interested in going to Disney World for Christmas. “Still being a kid at heart, I want to stay at home and get lots of presents.” Prancer is his favorite reindeer “because he was the grumpy one and kept the others in line.” “To me, the perfect Christmas is definitely a gentle snow falling, family all gathered and having plenty to eat, stories of yesteryears being told to the kids, the old Christmas carols on the radio and seeing ‘that look’ in the kids’ eyes anticipating Santa’s arrival,” Callaway wrote. “Does it get any better? I think not.” KKay Kalinock of Greenbackville said the best present she ever gave “was a crossbow to my boyfriend.” Picking between Frosty and Rudolph was too tough for her. “Frosty is happy and a winter-themed Rudolph is the lead reindeer for Santa,” she debated. “Rudolph is more serious as he has a very important job to do. Frosty runs around bringing winter delights as a preclude to Santa’s arrival.” Kalinock said she would spend $2,000 on presents this year and would rather be home surrounded by family than anywhere else. “Gifts are not necessary. Disney would be awesome if the entire family was there.” Donner is Kalinock’s favorite reindeer “as he is the least talked about, but toughs it out as well. He is probably the backbone of the sleigh team.” She only dreams of a white Christmas if the sun then comes out “and it (the snow) goes away fast.” A vacation was the best gift given by Shirley Fauber of Greenbackville. She picked Rudolph over Frosty and as her favorite reindeer. Fauber will spend $500 on presents this year and wants to stay home for the holiday. She also said, “No” to snow. Her hand in marriage is the best present Carla Savage-Wells of Onley ever gave. She chose Rudolph over Frosty because he would be a better friend. “My daughter would love to have him as a pet and he’d be a builtin excuse for my barren yard.” “I think at least one Christmas for every American should include time in a Disney park, the White House or New York City,” she added. SavageWells said Vixen is her favorite reindeer “of course.” The best present Lenore Hart Poyer of Franktown ever gave was “a check to my sister to help her leave a really bad marriage. She chose Rudolph as a friend because he won’t melt and plans to spend $600 on gifts. Poyer prefers home over Disney World. “I don’t have to stand in line at home to get food or entertainment.” Vixen is her favorite reindeer “because she’s apparently the only girl.” Poyer doesn’t want snow for Christmas. “It’s pretty for a day, but after that … I’m a native Floridian and I like to be warm, even in December.” Anna Stubbs of Chincoteague gave her dad a red bicycle one year for Christmas. He wanted it “as a boy but … his grandparents … couldn’t afford one.” So she bought it for him after she was grown and married and hid it in his bedroom. Her dad always put away a gift so she did the same. “I told him that I thought I heard something in the bedroom … he went to check.” He cried over that bicycle. She picked Rudolph over Frosty, hoping he might provide warmth. “The snowman would be cold and melt in summer. Rudolph could take heat or cold and his nose so bright could lead you home in the fog or dark.” Obviously, she doesn’t dream of a snowy Christmas. Stubbs would like going to a warmer location for the holidays. “Christmas is sad for me; my Dad died a few days before Christmas and he loved it so. It has never been the same for me.” Patrick Belote of Onancock picked Frosty who “actually sacrificed his life when he melted for poor little Karen.” But Belote’s favorite reindeer is Rudolph. “The others seem cool but don’t get much publicity.” He will spend about $250 for presents and “ALWAYS!!!!” dreams of a white Christmas. “I’m 48 years old, don’t have children, and have never been to Disney World yet,” Belote said. “If I could spend it (Christmas) with family every year, that would be ideal, but logistically that doesn’t always happen. For one Christmas anyway, I would love to spend it with my wife in Disney World.” “I believe the only place to be for Christmas is home,” wrote Donna Mason of Chincoteague. “Family, giftgiving, cookies, good food and friends are what make the holidays special for me.” Dancer is her choice of reindeer “because he dances.” “Used to have white Christmases when I was young and it was great fun,” she added. “Now if we get one, I’d like it to be gone within a couple of days.” Jeanne Whaley of Accomac said the best gift was “the Christmas I took my kids to the Paterson, N.J., food kitchen where we and other volunteers served over 100 meals to neighborhood folks and then gave them a tin of homemade cookies to take with them. My kids might answer that it was the year they got an in-ground pool. But I am not sure of their answer.” She chose Frosty because she likes his theme song. Her gift money will go this year to buy goats for an African family. “They are gifts from my family too. The grandchildren are getting a little older, but still love the magic of Santa so they will get personal gifts too.” “I love to be home for Christmas and that is wherever my family is,” she added. Whaley’s favorite “is ‘Olive, the other Reindeer.’ I love snowflakes on Christmas Eve, but that’s enough.” J.W. Jeffries of Chincoteague is dreaming of “a peaceful and productive relationship between the president and Congress.” The best present he gives is an annual donation to Chincoteague Food Bank. His love of animals made him choose Rudolph over Frosty. He spends about $2,500 on presents. Nadean Moore of Mappsville chose Frosty because of his “positive attitude” and “making the best of a bad situation.” She said buying presents is not as much fun if you keep track of the cost. Moore liked the idea of going to Disney World for Christmas. “This year” it “sounds great. Of course,” she still wants snow for the holiday. Karen Simpson of Quinby puts a lot of thought, time and love into her gifts. “I like to think most of them have been in the ‘best present’ category … especially in the days when I crafted or sewed most of my presents, like fleece-lined shirts, sherpa-lined denim vests, vinyl raincoats, original painted drinking glasses and etched glassware. For many years I dressed vinyl-headed cloth dolls for the Salvation Army in elaborate outfits for Christmas. Not only was this very emotionally fulfilling, it was barrels of fun to design, create and sew different outfits every year. I’ll admit a white Christmas is awfully pretty,” said Simpson. “It’d be nice, as long as it was gone by the evening or next morning.” Melanie Orrell of Chincoteague said the best gift she ever gave was a sheep and a pig through the Heifer organization. Orrell chose Rudolph over Frosty. “I like animals and he won’t melt.” She’ll spend about $400 for gifts this year. Orrell would rather be home for Christmas than go to Florida. She doesn’t like cold weather, so a white Christmas is out. “I like to be creative,” said Kathy Cullen Henley of Painter. “I want to give things my family and friends need, but also things they would not buy for themselves. I always try to give some type of “toy” even to the adults. A smile is the best gift on Christmas!” 6 • Eastern Shore Post • December 14, 2012 Police and Court Postings By Linda Cicoira Accomack Grand Jury Four “quiet” indictments handed down by an Accomack Grand Jury last week were made public Monday.

December 14, 2012 • Eastern Shore Post • 7 Schools Prepare for Budget By Ron West The Northampton County School Board conducted a public input session Wednesday regarding the FY 2013-14 school budget. Bill Sterling, representing the Boys and Girls Club, urged the board to reduce or eliminate the $8,000 yearly fee the organization pays to use Occohannock Elementary School after classes, as well as help with transportation for the students. Sterling noted that the Boys and Girls Club provides thousands of meals to the students annually. Additionally, he stressed the value of having adults who can provide a support structure for students who might be potential dropouts. “The Boys and Girls Club can provide the students with better choices,’ said Sterling. “We serve as a partner to the school system.” Former educator and administrator Diane Davis urged the board to hire an additional full-time secretary at the high school. Davis, who currently volunteers at the school, said the workload is often more than the present staff can handle. She also asked the board to consider changing the guidance office secretary position from 10 months to 12 months. Bill Taylor, speaking for the bus drivers, again pressed the board to include the drivers in the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) program. “It’s not right for them to not have a retirement option available,” Taylor said. “It’s a crime. You’re not treating them right. The drivers not only need it, they deserve it.” Stephanie Hadden again addressed the need to fill a gifted education vacancy at the elementary level. Superintendent Dr. Walter Clemons responded that the school system is continuing to seek a viable candidate for the position. Clemons and Board Chairman Dr. Richard Drury addressed the issue of staffing and explained that while several openings are listed on the school system’s website, most are for additional positions rather than replacements for classroom teachers. Clemons noted that there is an ongoing need for bus drivers, substitute teachers, and substitute cafeteria workers. The system is also currently seeking a replacement for the director of Special Programs who left earlier in the term. Drury and Clemons said staff is compiling projected needs for FY 2014 and will hold at least one more citizen input session prior to providing the budget to the Board of Supervisors in March. Dan Dills of Dills Architects presented three design concepts for the School Board to consider as replacement options for the aging high school in Eastville. The building, which is approaching 60 years of age, has seen several additions and renovations since the 1970s including emergency repairs to the cafeteria as well as the replacement of the rear wall of the earliest portion of the building. The options offered include a new structure at the south end of the current building, as well as entirely new buildings. All of the options offered feature a multi-story structure as well as changes to the current athletic fieldhouse. Prices for the three options ranged from $29.8 million to $34.6 million and all included the addition of separate spaces for middle-school students. For the past several years, since the closure of the middle school in Machipongo, there has been an effort to provide separate facilities for students in Grades 6 through 8. Patty Kaiser of Eastern Virginia Medical School spoke on the issue of student obesity and noted that the schools are being provided with tools and training to monitor the body mass index of students. She added that 48 percent of the students met the benchmark for being considered obese. Another Abandoned Structure Burns By Linda Cicoira Investigators were probing the site of an abandoned three-story house at press time Thursday. The structure on Ticktown Road near Accomac burned Wednesday night, according to Sgt. Michelle Anaya of State Police. It has not been determined if the fire was an arson. “The fire is still being investigated … and will be treated as all others until ruled out,” Anaya said. There have been around 30 arsons in the last month. The latest blaze was reported at around 9:15. Firefighters from Tasley, Onley, Onancock, Parksley, Bloxom and Melfa responded. ar Even Santa Would Choose To Care Drive This Holiday Season I f Santa didn’t have his own private sleigh to fly, he would probably choose to drive this holiday season. Imagine the hassle for Santa to take off his belt and boots in an airport security line, and how much he would have to pay for extra baggage fees. While Santa doesn’t have to choose to drive, many more travelers are opting to load up the car and drive to their holiday destination, according to the Car Care Council. “With airfares soaring, more people are realizing that the benefits of driving during the holiday season far outweigh the hassle of airline travel,” said Rich White, executive director of the Car Care Council. “It is much less expensive to drive; you can control your arrival and depar- ture, and you can fill your sleigh — I mean trunk — with as many bags as you want without getting charged.” According to a story in USA Today, holiday air travelers can expect to spend about 8 percent more than last year flying to popular destinations, while some airline tickets could soar to as much as 27 percent higher than last year. Meanwhile, a family of four can travel 1,000 miles round-trip by car for about the cost of one airline ticket. In addition to the obvious direct cost savings, when you going by car, you can: •pack whatever and as much as you want, including wrapped gifts; •leave when you want from where you want. •avoid airport parking; •avoid ticket and security lines; •stop and stretch any time; •eat whatever and whenever you wish; •save rental car or taxi expenses; •enjoy more legroom and overall comfort. •conveniently take your pet along.

Unlike many traditional yacht clubs, Cape Charles Yacht Club does not require a member to own a vessel.

The County Planning Commission serves the planning role for the Town of Eastville at the town’s request. A recent review of the 2010 census of the town discovered that there were 148 fewer residents than had been announced. The error came as a result of inmates at the regional jail being counted as town residents. Commissioner Mary Miller reported on the businesses within the town limits as a portion of the town’s economic portion of the plan. Commissioner Roberta Kellam raised concerns over the recreational opportunities available within walking distance of the residents’ homes. Kellem emphasized the need for new subdivi- sions to be developed with walkability in mind. She stressed that having bike and walking paths would allow residents to have an alternative to motorized vehicles. One suggestion was to seek a crosswalk at the Lankford Highway traffic signal to aid walkers when crossing the highway to either walk to the downtown area or out to Indiantown Park area. Miller stated that some residents of the town had asked that the driveway behind the old jail be reopened to oneway traffic. Once the renovated County Administration building was reopened, that street was closed and blocked off to vehicle traffic. Prior to concluding the session, the commissioners re-elected Martina Coker and Mike Ward to serve another term as chairwoman and vice chairman for the Planning Commission. Del.

The site is a 15-acre parcel on Old Plantation Creek. “The location provided an opportunity to design and build a home that enhances the natural surroundings and captures the expansive views,” said Luke Kellam, president of L.J.

A geothermal heat pump was installed to take advantage of the stable temperature of groundwater that is used to heat and cool the house. In the summer, it uses water in the 50s instead of air in the 80s to cool the house, and the excess heat is reused to heat water for showers. Radiant floors allow the thermostat to be set at a lower temperature. The pergola surrounding the house has blades to capitalize on winter sun, while preventing the summer sun’s higher rays from penetrating the structure. More than 80 percent of the lighting is energy efficient, fluorescent, LED or Energy Star-certified and an array of photovoltaic panels produces solar energy. “To the extent possible, we used local products in our construction materials,” said Kellam. All lumber scraps were recycled into mulch at Maplewood Gardens in Nassawadox. The site was previously developed, so the new house was built on top of the old footprint to minimize disturbance of the land. The existing driveway was reused. The majority of the site remains in its natural state. Where the site was disturbed during construction, it was replanted with native grasses that need no watering. There are a few planting beds close to the house, which are irrigated with a low water drip system supplied by rainwater. All rainwater is collected in a cistern, which reduces water use as well as runoff to the Chesapeake Bay. “We are very proud of this house and the Platinum LEED certification,” adds Kellam. “A lot of people assume that green building is prohibitively expensive. What we learned is that through careful planning and a very knowledgeable project team, it can be accomplished without pushing budgets beyond reach. Also, some of the energy-efficient systems qualify for tax credits.” 10 • Eastern Shore Post • December 14, 2012 Obituaries Sanford Matriarch Passes Away Mrs. Phoebe Grace Hall Marshall, 94, of Sanford died Thursday, Nov. 29, 2012, with her family by her side.

Bradford said she handles situations “case by case” and is sympathetic to residents who have had hardships, working with them any way she can. Bradford also reported that tax collections had gone extremely well by the Dec. 5 deadline with over 70 percent of the taxes collected and more payments coming in daily. Other priorities cited by the supervisors for Lewis to consider in the upcoming legislative session include eliminating the local contribution to the state, which has resulted in Northampton paying the state over $1 million since the inception of “Local Contribution/Aid to the Commonwealth” in 2010; support of full restoration of state funding for the Standards of Quality and for the Compensation Board; funding for constitutional officers; and opposition to legislation to eliminate or reduce local tax revenues, including business taxes such as the machinery and tools tax. The board also heard from Lynne Lochen of the Virginia Tourism Commission, who will be retiring on Dec. 21. Lochen said tourism increased in Northampton 5.2 percent last year after a 11.2 percent increase the previous year, a two-year increase well above the state average. She said tourism accounted for $1.25 million in taxes for Northampton last year and she encouraged the supervisors “to think regionally” because tourists “know no boundaries nor should they.” In other business, the supervisors adopted the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy as prepared by the Accomack-Northampton Planning District Commission (A-NPDC). Asked by Supervisor Larry Lemond if this document would be used or “gather dust on a shelf,” County Administrator Katie Nunez said it is incumbent upon the A-NPDC Economic Development Committee to make this “an active document and assure it moves forward.” Supervisor Randall, who is a member of the committee, said the strategy identifies two major projects — Wallops Research Park and the dredging of the harbor at Bayshore Concrete.

Ricky Bailey, who played at Central High School from 1980 to 1982, holds the season interception record with 23 and the career record with 47 in only three seasons of play. Think about it. There are wide receivers who don’t catch 23 passes in a season or 47 in a career. And those are the guys who the quarterback wants to catch the ball. But Bailey caught 23 passes in one season NOT intended for him. Twenty-three interceptions in a season and 47 for a career are incredible numbers, and as far as I can determine, they are the only VHSL all-time marks held by an Eastern Shore athlete. What’s not in the record book is that he returned 10 of those 23 interceptions for a touchdown and amassed 39 total touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams in that 1982 season. He could do it all. Those who saw him play say he was one of the best punters ever to play on the Shore. Rickey Bailey — at six feet and 185 pounds — was a special athlete who appeared in “Faces in the Crowd” in Sports Illustrated and was listed in that magazine among high-school career leaders along names like Herschel Walker and Billy Sims. In fact, his season and career marks still rank him third and fourth, respectively, nationally all-time for interceptions. At the time he played, Bailey also was featured on Norfolk TV news stations, and in the Washington Post and other major newspapers along the East Coast. Bailey played after I covered sports on the Shore in the 1970s. I did not attend many games when I moved out of sports into news because seven years of stalking the sidelines leaves one a bit wasted. But I heard so much about Bailey I went to a game as a paying customer to see him play. As they say, he was worth the price of admission. Dazzling runs, an option lateral that was pitched as if he had eyes in the back of his Bailey head, bullet passes that knifed throughout a stiff wind and jarring tackles from his defensive safety position convinced me Bailey was worthy of his press clippings. He was recruited by major colleges across the country, including Georgia, Tennessee, Auburn and other SEC powerhouses, as well as Michigan, Michigan State and Illinois of the Big 10. Houston wanted to develop its offense around his talents as a quarterback. But Bailey signed with Virginia Tech because he wanted to stay closer to home. He left the team during the first week of practice in his freshman year to attend the funeral of a close family member. When he returned a week later, he was the last man on the depth chart among running backs. Toward the end of the season, he had worked his way to second string and earned a start in the team’s final game against the University of Virginia. On that memorable day in Charlottesville, Bailey scored three touchdowns and was all but assured the starting spot the next season for the Hokies. In limited carries — 41 — he averaged 5.5 yards a carry that season for a Virginia Tech team that went 9-2 under Coach Bill Dooley. But with a stable full of backs re- turning at Tech and the desire to play on both offense and defense, Bailey transferred to Norfolk State the following year. However, before school even started, a trainer at Virginia Tech put him in touch with the general manager of the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. Bailey signed a one-year contract for $70,000 to play in the CFL. Although he scored a touchdown in preseason, he saw limited time and tore his Achilles heel late in the season, hurting his chances to be re-signed. The following year he attended NFL camps for the Redskins and Eagles when the regular players were out on strike, but he found both teams were overrun with prospective players and did not catch on with either team. There were some offers from the USFL and other CFL teams, but Bailey decided to come home. Thirty years later, Bailey lives in Exmore and has enjoyed a good life, surrounded by two daughters and two grandchildren and serving as an assistant basketball coach for Nandua High School last year. I caught up with him earlier this week and asked him about that stellar 1982 season. “I just remember I had a knack for finding the ball,” said Bailey. “Even when the team’s best receiver was on the other side of the field, as a safety I could put myself between the quarterback and the receiver.” Bailey said that in college he played with backs who might have been faster in timed sprints — Bailey was clocked at 4.6 in the 40 —but he felt he had better “football” speed. “Those guys would run right into the tackler. I always had the ability to see the field, use my blockers and then make people miss,” said Bailey. He said he was inspired by his older brother, Louis Bailey, who starred at Mary Nottingham Smith in the late 1960s to 1970 and then had a stellar career at North Carolina A&T. “Louis played quarterback and I always looked up to him,” said Bailey. “I was very young when he played high school, but I remember watching him play and wanting to emulate him.” Does he regret leaving college where he might have been a big-time star? “Sometimes I think I probably should have stayed in college,” said Bailey, “but $70,000 was a lot of money then and it helped my family. So at the time it was the right decision for me.” One thing is clear. The Virginia marks he set for interceptions in a season and career will likely stand for all time. Ricky Bailey in his days as a Central High School football star.

After Nandua took an 8-4 lead after the first quarter when both teams struggled to score, Northumberland tied the score at 18 at half, and then the lead went back and forth until the Indians held on at the end. “We are a very young team and our players did not show the confidence and poise they had in our first game, but I told them after the game this would be a learning experience,” said second-year head coach Cedric Cooper. “It wasn’t a district loss, so hopefully, we can gain something from the game and move on.” Nandua missed a layup with less than a minute to play that would have given the Warriors the lead, then had to foul. The Indians converted the free throws, then Nandua had a look with a 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds that would have tied the game. Trayvon Snead led nine Nandua scorers with 9 points, while Darius Holden added 8 points, and Tre’Darius Kellam added 6. Issac Taylor pulled down 13 rebounds, including five on the offensive end. “Isaac controlled the boards and prevented buckets in the paint,” said Coach Cooper. Arcadia Falls to Indian River Last Thursday night, Arcadia fell to Indian River of Delaware 80-61 at Oak Hall. The Firebirds were led by Devin Wilson with 16 points, Tyron Copes with 11, Tyler Warner with 8 and Kyle Fields with 8. Firebird coach Alvin Justice said his squad played hard but was outmatched by Indian River. Arcadia, with three losses, is still seeking its first win. A game scheduled for last Friday between Arcadia and Mathews was canceled. Darius Holden, 2, of Nandua drives the baseline against Northumberland in action Saturday at Nandua. The Warriors were edged by Northumberland 43-40. Warriors Top Ponies in Shore District Hoop Clash Nandua walloped Chincoteague 5722 Tuesday night at the Warrior gym. Tre’ Darius led 10 Warriors who scored with 10 points. Michael Wang had 8 and Tyreim Blake and Isaac Taylor had 6 each. Bryant Savage led the Ponines with 9 points while James Gooldrup had 6. Chincoteague dropped its opening two games of the season last week, falling to Worcester Prep 69-49 on Dec. 3 and then losing a nail biter 57-56 to Holly Grove on Dec. 5. Freshman Gardner Fosque, playing because Coach Jay Savage was without two varsity starters, led the Ponies in both contests, with 18 points in the opener and 27 in the second game. He was 11 of 16 from the foul line in the two contests and hit a 3-pointer in both games. Savage had 9 points in the opener, and Larry Harper scored 10 in the Holly Grove contest. The Ponies were tied after three quarters with Holly Grove following a one-point half-time lead, but were nipped in the end. “That was a hard game to lose,” said Coach Savage. “We had two starters out and brought up Gardner, who had 27 for us.” Chincoteague plays at Broadwater tonight in a 6:30 start, has a home game against Salisbury Christian on Monday at 6:30 p.m. and travels to Northampton next Thursday. Nandua is on the road next week with away games versus Arcadia Tuesday, Norfolk Collegiate Wednesday and Norfolk Collegiate again Friday. Broadwater Drops Squeaker to Greenbrier Broadwater fell to Greenbrier 4948 last Thursday when the Gators took the lead with just over a minute remaining and held on for the win at Greenbrier. Michael Riopel led the Vikings with 20 points. Brendon Burrows added 16. On Tuesday, the Vikings fell to Williamsburg Christian Academy 88-58. The Broadwater girls were dealt a 95-12 loss by Williamsburg Christian Academy. Broadwater girls (5 p.m) and boys (6:30 p.m.) host Chincoteague tonight.

Whitney Metz led the Lady Jackets with 17 points, while Jabria Brown had 10 points and five rebounds. Deju Smith added 8 points and pulled down five rebounds. Both Kesi Harmon and Jateria Harmon had seven rebounds to lead the Jackets in that department. Metz and Smith had three steals each. Sarah Jones and Lili Tuialuuluu had four points each to lead Arcadia. Northampton hosts Southampton on Monday while the Arcadia girls travel to Nandua on Tuesday. Nandua Girls Top Chincoteague The Nandua girls defeated Chincoteague 50-18 Tuesday night at the Pony gym. Nandua was led by Derrica Toppin with 16 points, Khadijah Robinson 10 points, Jennifer Spicer and Ciara Bopley 6 points each, and La’Kadra Riggin, Jakoriah Wise and Autumn Ferguson with 4 points each. For Chincoteague, Kristin Fox 6 had points, Chelsea Pitts 5 points, Madison Jennings, Alyson Hickman, Aspen Bowden 2 points each and Melissa Derrickson 1 point. Turnovers for Chincoteague and a fast-break Nandua offense that led to easy baskets were the key factors in the game, according to Chincoteague coach Kelly Fox. “Kim (Giddens, Nandua basketball coach) does a great job with the girls. They came out confident and worked hard,” said Fox, who said he was pleased with the effort of his young Pony squad. The Nandua girls’ basketball team lost to Northumberland 45-16 Saturday at the Warrior gym. The Lady Warriors struggled to score and trailed 23-7 at halftime. Wise led Nandua with 8 points. Sarah Jones of Arcadia sinks a two-pointer against Northampton as Jacket defenders Olivia Boswell, 30, and Deju Smith, 35, challenge the shot Tuesday night at the Jacket gym. Northampton Boys Beat Arcadia 58-50 in Basketball Behind Onley’s Double-Double Northampton stopped Arcadia 58-50 Tuesday night at the Firebird gym in a boys’ contest. The Jackets let 26-22 at halftime before holding on for the win. Rovonte Rogers led the Jackets with 17 points, while Jab Onley had a double-double with 12 points and 14 rebounds. “We are stressing that we need to focus on the defensive end and stop making so many unforced errors,” said head coach Wayne Bell, who took over the varsity team this year after coaching the junior varsity for six years. “We played well tonight, but I would still call it a work in progress.” Arcadia coach Alvin Justice, a 10-year veteran with the Firebirds’ program, said last week that inexperience is hurting his squad, but he expects to see improvement as the season progresses. Northampton travels to Southampton on Monday while Arcadia hosts Nandua on Tuesday. 20 • Eastern Shore Post • December 14, 2012 Northampton Makes Strong Showing in Elite Wrestling Tourney The Northampton High School wrestling team competed Friday and Saturday against 29 teams from Delaware, West Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia in the War on the Shore wrestling tournament in Salisbury, Md. After all was said and done, the Jacket wrestlers finished in 9th place, a vast improvement over last year’s finish of 29th place out of 32 schools. “This was a huge step for our program,” said Coach Will Leland of Northampton. “This tournament attracts the best wrestling programs from the Mid-Atlantic states.” Four wrestlers finished on the medal stand: 2nd - Casey Paglia; 3rd - Charlie Demarino; 4th - Ryan Bono; and 6th Laquan Hairston. Malik McCaskill, Raul Gildo, and Austin Brady finished in a very respectable 12th place, one win from placing. Paglia, a two-time defending state champion who has made a verbal commitment to wrestle at Division I American University in Washington, D.C., lost his finals to a wrestler who finished 5th at Prep School Nationals last year in the final seconds. “It was 0-0 with 10 seconds left when Casey got caught in a headlock while scrambling on the mat and was pinned,” said Coach Leland. Great Bridge, the perennial Group AAA powerhouse from Norfolk, won the meet with 178 points. Finishing 2nd through 9th were: 2 - Archbishop Spalding 175.50; 3 - Wheeling Park 153.50; 4 - Glenelg 141.00; 5 - Mount St. Joseph 137.00; 6 - DeMatha 112.00; 7 - Musselman 105.00; 8 - Archbishop Curley 94.50; 9 - Northampton 86.00, finishing ahead of 20 other teams. Northampton junior varsity wrestlers who placed in the JV tournament were Mitchell Pidgeon, 3rd, and Steven Wilson, also placing 3rd. Both JV and varsity wrestlers will be competing this Friday and Saturday at the Parkside tournament in Salisbury. Northampton’s Charlie Demarino (in blue), who finished third in the War on the Shore tourney, which included 32 schools and some of the top wrestling programs in the Mid-Atlantic States, is shown here in action earlier this season Nandua Fares Well at Tri-Meet; 5 Place at Titans Duals Nandua wrestlers scored a 60-18 win over King and Queen Central and dropped a highly contested 45-36 match to Middlesex at Middlesex Dec. 6. Diego Jimenez, wrestling at the 195-pound weight class, scored his first two varsity victories of his career with pins over both of his opponents. Brian Wade (170) and Maurice Tolliver (152) also scored pins for Nandua. Other victories for Nandua over Middlesex included Paul Young (106) winning by pin and Ira Merritt (120) with a major decision, winning 15-3 Other victories for Nandua over King and Queen Central included Josh Medina (220), who won by pinning his opponent. Nandua placed five wrestlers at the Titan Duals on Saturday at Lake Taylor. Jake Smith (285) placed first with a 5-0 record. Josh Medina (220) placed second with a 4-1 record while Maurice Tolliver (152), Brian Wade (170), and Diego Jimenez (195) all took third with 3-2 records. 10th ANNUAL SPORTSMAN’S AUCTION Friday Feb. 22 @ 5:10 PM Saturday Feb. 23 @ 10:05 AM Being held at the Zeb B.

Chris also reports the recent rockfish tournament provided over $400 for the Northampton County Toy Closet in addition to lots of toys for the program. She thanks everyone for all the support. “I am so happy to be able to make some kids happy for the holidays,” said Chris, who runs Chris’ Bait and Tackle with her husband, Mark Snook. Matt Abel at Sea Hawk Sports Center in Pocomoke, Md., reports the rock are finally here. Good numbers of fish are off Tangier Light and in the lower Pocomoke Sound. There also are good numbers of fish just off Cape Charles. “We had two charters this week and did well both days,” said Abel. “We trolled our fish up on a variety of baits, but the white tandem seemed to do the best.” “On Tuesday we trolled Cape Charles and picked up six nice fish in short order, but while we trolled we witnessed a pretty good eel bite going on as well,” said Abel. Abel also said tog action has been pretty good on the inshore wrecks. Andy Hill and crew had a great day with togs up to 12 pounds, said Abel.

I have never tweeted, save the inadvertent lisp which occasionally interrupts my more typical stutter. I have no Facebook page since I can’t imagine why anyone would care what I’m having for dinner. By Cheryl Nowak And while I do have a cell phone, it is not smart. In fact, it is one of the last remaining dumb phones; it actually flips open. I suppose that would make my archaic land line practically learning disabled. I value my Nook above any of my other conveniences, but I can’t for the life of me figure out why I also might need an electronic tablet. With my history of corneal transplants and laser surgery, my only experience has been with EYE pads, nowhere near their electronic namesake that Apple would have me purchase. And by the way, my ticked-off birds can kill those snarky Post Office Mail On to an Elected School Board Dear Editor: We would like to thank everyone who contributed to our quest to have the School Board elected as opposed to appointed. We were astonished that almost 80 percent of Northampton citizens voted for this change. The question we face is, “What happens now?” The answer is not clear-cut as the Code of Virginia has some contradictions in the changeover from an appointed board to an elected one. It is basically in the hands of our commonwealth’s attorney and judge. Everyone is aware of the great majority who voted for the change, and the General Assembly seems to be in favor of a rapid changeover. Therefore, it is reasonable to hope that in a few short years, we will be represented by members of our own choosing. When I receive information as to the path to an elected school board, I will spread the word. Until it is known, I ask everyone to encourage members of the community who would make good candidates to consider running. Randall Parks, Friends of NCPS, Eastville United Way Helps Our Community Dear Editor: When our community works with United Way of Virginia’s Eastern Shore, it shows we are committed to a cause that benefits those who live and work right here. Winston Churchill said it best: “You make a living by what you get, you make a life by what you give!” As we are blessed to celebrate Christmas and the birth of Christ, let’s remember that one of the greatest gifts we can give is to be a positive difference maker in the lives of those less fortunate. “The Shore Needs You Now” is our campaign motto for 2012. Many have answered that call by kicking off our annual campaign with great success. The chapter pigs quite satisfactorily on my Nook. I know I sound old when I carry on like this. I don’t mean to. But I do find it more and more necessary to clarify whether I’m referring to THE ’60s or MY 60s. And yet I’m not yet (too) addled; I’ve not deteriorated completely. My only medications are the same ones I’ve been taking for more about 20 years now, since way back when I might have been young. Come to think of it, wouldn’t you assume that all my betas would have been sufficiently blocked by now? And never in my wildest, youthful, psychedelic dreams did I imagine I would be listening to anything labeled “Sirius” radio. Back then I would have thought serious radio would carry only NPR — OK, and maybe a few Republicans. This new world even has new crimes. My identity actually has been stolen extends its gratitude. As we near $200,000, we are approaching 80 percent of our goal and Jane P. Batten has provided us with the additional motivation of a dollar-for-dollar cash match for every dollar we raise over $225,000, up to $250,000. With this match, we will be able to exceed our initial goal of $250,000 by $25,000. We want to complete this abbreviated campaign period with all pledges received by Dec. 31. You can give online at www.esunitedway.org or pledge by emailing [email protected] or calling 787-5622. Jeff Holland, Chairman United Way of Virginia’s Eastern Shore 2012 Campaign Accomack RV Tax Unreasonable Dear Editor: I am writing about my own tax situation because I am sure it applies to many other county residents. Accomack County is billing me over $2,600 per year in personal-property tax on my 25-foot mini-motor home. This more than $200-per-month tax is significantly more than I pay in real-estate taxes on my 1,800-square-foot home and the associated land! I did appeal this assessment to the commissioner of the revenue in May, supplying the dealer invoice for the motor home. I did so to confirm the actual price paid and to show that this was not an “arm’s length” purchase. Several months later, I was informed that actual purchase price is not used in this county; only the NADA Blue Book value is considered. I would agree that the NADA Blue Book is a good valuation tool. However, I believe a dealer invoice should be used when available. I paid only about two-thirds of the Blue Book value and I’m being taxed at an assessed value much higher. The Code of Virginia states that recreational vehicles shall be valued by “means of a recognized pricing guide OR a percentage of original cost.” So the option to use the dealer invoice to determine value is twice. They should have just asked. I would have been happy to GIVE them my identity. I’ve never enjoyed it much. Now DVRs are a miracle whose impact would seem to permeate unrelated facets of our lives. For example, who hasn’t almost reached over to hit the rewind button during a personal conversation because they missed a word or two? And then there are CDs and CDs — one I shouldn’t withdraw, one I should eject. Actually, I’m quite progressive. More specifically, I try to be progressively realistic, meaning that I am well aware that the days probably are numbered for paper checks, land lines, typewriters, banks, bound books and their libraries, cash, and even newspapers. I fear the very lifestyle of us Baby Boomers is frightfully endangered. available, but Accomack chooses not to use it. I’ve learned that I have no higher avenue of appeal since the state tax commissioner previously determined “local mobile property taxes” will not be reviewed and those assessments “shall be deemed prima facie correct.” My only reasonable option is to garage my motor home out of state, which I have done. I have to wonder how many other Accomack residents choose not to base their vehicles, boats, RVs, and airplanes here. Perhaps if the personal-property tax rates were more reasonable, this would not be the case and the county would actually realize a greater revenue stream. Maria J. Paccioretti, Atlantic Correction A Letter to the Editor in the Nov. 30th edition of the Eastern Shore Post noted that Walmart had collected pet food for the Eastern Shore SPCA. The donation actually was made to the Accomack County Animal Control Facility.
