County Money Withheld from Fire Companies
Until They Comply with Requirements
By Linda Cicoira
Accomack is withholding nearly $360,000 from three
volunteer fire and rescue companies because they have not
completed audits that are required by the county.
The units are among 31 agencies that receive more
than $10,000 annually, according to Finance Director Mike
Mason.
Parksley, Tangier and Melfa VF&RCs (volunteer fire
and rescue companies) have not received the $119,900 in
county funds that each normally would be allotted. The
other 28 agencies completed the audits. Saxis VF&RC
just recently came into compliance and will be paid
$119,900.
Two installments are paid to the agencies, the first in
February and the other in July, Mason said. Audits can cost
anywhere from $1,500 to $4,000 depending on how prepared the agency’s paperwork is, he added.
“Our position is pretty simple,” Mason explained Tuesday. “You have to comply with the policy and supply the
audited financial statements in the time frame specified
in the policy. Failure to comply results in the holding of
funds.”
Mason said Melfa and Tangier companies are both “currently engaged in an audit. I expect delivery soon, albeit

An 80-year-old Exmore woman
died after her vehicle was struck
crossing Lankford Highway Tuesday afternoon, according to Sgt.
Jason Campbell of Exmore Police
Department.
Sarah Lee Walker of Occohannock
Road was driving from Oakland Drive
to Bayside Road at about 3:25 p.m. in a
2006 Ford Taurus.
Walker was ejected from her vehicle
and died at the scene. Campbell said it
was not known where she was going.
She was alone in the car and was not
wearing a seatbelt, he added.
Walker’s car was hit by a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta driven by Susan McEntire. She and her husband, Daniel
McEntire, the only passenger in that
vehicle, were taken to Riverside Shore
Memorial Hospital in Nassawadox.
The extent of their injuries was not
available.
The McEntires live in Milton, Del.
The incident remains under investigated, Campbell reported. A State
Police reconstruction team was called
in. Officers from that agency and
Northampton County Sheriff ’s Office
assisted.
The Virginia Department of Transportation also came out to help with
traffic control.
Rescue units from Exmore, Nassawadox, and Melfa also responded to the
scene and Nightingale air ambulance
was dispatched from Norfolk.

Northampton Supervisors Work To Map County’s Future
By Ron West
The Northampton County Board
of Supervisors inched closer to a final
version of the much discussed and debated zoning ordinance that has polarized much of the county over the past
two years.
A number of requests to change
the district designation for properties
was tackled by the board. Most were
for parcels under an acre and were rezoned to match the surrounding areas.
The issue that drew several of the
20 plus members of the public in attendance was how the county would deal
with the potential of poultry houses
sprouting up on agricultural land.
County Planning and Zoning Department staff provided a list of the
sites currently able to meet the zoning
regulations, including setbacks, for at
least one poultry house.
They emphasized that while the
parcels are large enough to meet the
current zoning requirements, only
three are north of Eastville. According
to board Chairman Rick Hubbard, the
poultry industry has indicated that ar-
eas north of Eastville are more desirable for siting poultry houses because
of the proximity to the poultry processing facilities in Accomack County.
The board discussed the possible
need to increase the setback distances as well as to consider the prevailing
winds that might affect odors associated with poultry operations.
Long Range Planner Peter Stith
told the board that the number of parcels large enough to host at lease one
poultry house in the 50-foot by 600-foot
range is very limited.
Another factor that would come into play with regards to siting poultry
houses in the county would be water usage. Depending on the number
of houses on a given parcel and the
amount of water needed for each, the
property owner would likely need to
apply to the state for a water withdrawal permit.
Prior to concluding the discussion,
staff member Melissa Kellam emphasized that there are no site plans before the county to locate a poultry
house in the county and that in her 20-
plus years with the county, only one individual had applied to do so and that
request had not been successful.
Hubbard said the board would continue to review the zoning regulations
for poultry houses.
The board reviewed policies regarding lot coverage with regards to
the amount of impervious area that
could be allowed for a given property.
According to Kellam, that number is
16% and would include the structures
on the property as well as associated
paving such as with a driveway. Supervisor Oliver Bennett asked if he were
to pave his driveway if it would cause
him any problems with regards to
regulations. The response was that it
would depend the size of his property
and the amount of property covered as
well as the amount of land disturbed
in the process. Current regulations by
the state govern the amount of property that can be disturbed. If the amount
reaches a threshold of 2500 square feet
it could require additional site and engineering plans as well as a stormwater retention pond, all of which would
dramatically increase the costs associated with the project.
A final point of discussion for the
Board centered around the Future
Land Use Map (FLUM). The FLUM
serves as a tool to help with producing
the county’s zoning map. Supervisor
Hogg asked if the staff could review
the density for some of the districts.
One point of contention for Supervisor
Hogg was that regarding the use of accessory residential buildings. He stated that he was not in favor of allowing them in the county by right, noting
that he preferred to require a special
use permit for anyone seeking to have
one on their property.
Supervisor Larry LeMond questioned the need to have the staff review the density allowed for the whole
county, suggesting that if Supervisor
Hogg had a specific area of the county
in mind that they could ask the staff to
provide that to the Board.
The board then went into closed session to review possible offers regarding
the acquisition and or disposition of
publicly held property.

Court Postings
By Linda Cicoira
Accomack Circuit Court
More details are being made public in the case of a Horntown man facing a first-degree murder charge in
connection with the death of a wellknown Accomack Schools bus driver
last November.
A report dated Aug. 10, 2015, and
entered into the record in Accomack
Circuit Court on Aug. 17, involves
swabs that were taken from the hand
of Michael Anthony Press, 46, of Fleming Road, who is the suspect. A blood sample also was taken from
the deceased, Leon Sylvester Harmon
Jr., 61, of Horntown. According to officials, Harmon died of “blunt force
trauma to head” with an “attributing
wound to neck” which also was caused
by “blunt force.” An inch-deep slash
was across Harmon’s throat.
The certificate of analysis report
showed a match between Press’ right
hand and Harmon’s blood sample. Harmon could not be “eliminated as a contributor to this DNA mixture profile,”
the report says. This was “51 billion
times more probable than coincidental
match to an unrelated black person, 140
trillion times more probable than a coincidental match to an unrelated caucasian person (and) 11 trillion times more
probable than a coincidental match to
an unrelated hispanic person.”
Documents also say that when Press
was arrested last November, the front of
his shirt and pants and his shoes were
stained with blood. A search warrant
filed in the court states that a razor
blade was confiscated from Press’ home
just hours after Harmon was found. Sgt. Anthony Bright of the Accomack County Sheriff’s Office requested the warrant to specifically look “for
blood, bodily fluids, DNA, hair, fibers,
(and) clothing that may be associated
with the crime of murder.” Previous search warrants that were
filed disclosed that Press was seen beating the victim and then dragging him to
his pick-up truck an hour before police
were notified of the homicide. Press was
arrested later that afternoon. The court
file states that his hand was swollen. A witness said he saw Press and
Harmon in Harmon’s grey and burgun-
dy vehicle and later walked by Press’
yard and saw Harmon on the ground
while Press beat him. The warrant
states the witness saw “Press dragging Leon to the passenger side of the
pick-up truck and putting Leon inside. Press got into the driver’s side of
the pickup and drove out of his yard
traveling north,” the record continues.
Blood was discovered in Press’ yard.
Press, who has been incarcerated
since his arrest, has requested a trial by jury. The case is expected to be
heard in January.
On July 29, Judge W. Revell Lewis
III granted a motion that Trevor Jared
Robinson of Norfolk be substituted as
counsel for Press and A. Theresa Bliss
be relieved.

Worcester Circuit Court
A Parksley man who taught school
in Pocomoke, Md., is free on a secured
$100,000 bond after being accused
of 24 sex crimes involving four of his
young female students.
William Albert Cathell, 42, of Parksley Road was released from the Worcester County Jail in Snow Hill, Md., Thursday, Aug. 20. The condition of bond is
that he have “no contact with minor children while (the) charges are pending.”
Maximum terms for the offenses would be 197 years in prison and
$27,000 in fines.
Records show Cathell, who taught
at Pocomoke Middle School for the last
decade, is divorced and has been living
with his girlfriend, who is also a teacher. He earned $65,000 annually at his
job as a foreign language instructor.
Cathell was arrested in Accomack
County. He waived extradition and
was held without bond until he was
taken to Maryland. The entire bond
was required to be paid up front in either money or real estate. His travel
was not restricted.
The major complaint that was recorded in court documents was that
Cathell grabbed the girls on the buttocks. One student’s breast also was
touched, according to the allegations.
The alleged offenses occurred in the
classroom, where he had “temporary
responsibility for supervision of the
girls,” whose names are being withheld
because of their ages.
The first girl listed in the charges is
a 13-year-old seventh grader. She told
police “the first incident occurred when
she was in the sixth grade, which would
have placed the incident sometime between Aug. 1, 2013 and June 14, 2015.”
She said the class was “doing piñatas
and they started drawing … she backed
up and she bumped into him. The children interviewed advised that it was a
common practice for the defendant to
stand ‘too close’ to female students.”
As she moved forward away from
the defendant, he reached and grabbed
her buttocks with his hand. The girl
responded by saying, “excuse me.” On
June 10, 2015, she said, “The class was
working on a project and the defendant
just walked over and grabbed her buttocks. The defendant didn’t say ‘excuse
me’ or anything. He just walked away.”
Another 13-year-old was in the sixth
grade in May 2015. She told authorities, “The defendant was talking with
her and he was standing too close. The
defendant was pointing his finger at
her chest while he was talking … she
wanted him to back up. While he was
talking to her he reached forward and
touched her breast with his finger. Teen
stated that it is her belief that the defendant touched her breast on purpose.”
A third girl, a 13-year-old eighth
grader, said an incident occurred this
June. “She stated they were … doing
projects on Don Quixote,” according
to court records. “She was standing
around the table and the defendant
walked up behind her. The defendant
grabbed (her) on her buttocks. She
stated that the defendant’s hand was
cupped open at the time.”
The fourth girl, now 13 years old,
told police the first incident occurred
when she was in sixth grade. The
class also was doing piñatas. “She was
standing up by her chair and the defendant walked by her and touched her
buttocks with his hand.”
The second time was when she was
in the eighth grade. “It was during the
second semester. … The class was doing a project to see how much flour students could carry in a tote. She stated
while carrying the tote with the flour in
it she leaned back but didn’t fall down.
… Defendant reached and grabbed her
buttocks with his hand. She told investigators, ‘I would have understood if he
put his hand on my back, but not my
butt.’ ” The incident was witnessed by
a male student, who is also not being
identified because of his age.
Cathell was charged with five counts
of sexual abuse of a minor, with two
charges allegedly involving one girl
and one for each of the other girls. The
maximum sentence for the crime is 25
years in prison.
He was charged with two third-degree and two fourth-degree sexual offenses for two of the girls and one each
for each of the other two girls for a total
of six third- and fourth-degree charges,
each having a maximum sentence of
a year plus a $1,000 fine. Cathell also
was charged with counts of assault in
the second degree, with maximum sentences of 10 years and a $2,500 fine.
According to Carrie N. Sterrs of
Worcester County Public Schools,
“Mr. Cathell was placed on administrative leave on June 16, and he remains
on administrative leave until legal proceedings have concluded.”

Accomack District Court
Larry Bailey, 55, of Nelson Road in
Bloxom was charged with maliciously
maiming an unnamed victim, according to records filed in Accomack General District Court. Bailey is being held
in Accomack Jail without bond. Accomack Deputy D. Gladding investigated.
Garry Cordell Horsey, 60, of Boston
Road in Painter was charged with felony driving under the influence on Aug.
21. Accomack Deputy J. Sharp investigated. Bail was set at $3,500.

three counts of forging checks totaling
$550 between Aug. 3 and 7. Investigator C.A. McPherson of Accomack County Sheriff’s Office handled the case.
Unsecured bond was set at $1,500. She
was arrested Aug. 11.

State Commission Modifies Oyster Harvest Regulations
Story and photo by Linda Cicoira
Despite opposition from local watermen, changes in oyster harvest regulations were approved Tuesday by the
Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC).
“This is our livelihood,” Laurie
Pruitt of Tangier told the commission.
“I have three children. That’s how they
get fed. This is what we do. We’ve had
two good years. Let’s go until we have
to sit and talk about other options.”
Ron Hubbard of Saxis talked about
four years ago when the bushel limit was 10. “We didn’t have a problem catching that and now there’s an
eight-(bushel) limit and it’s even better than it was before. … What’s going
on? Things are really good. Why are we
here?” he asked. “I think it should be
left alone. Things are going to be better
than ever.”
Another Saxis waterman complained that Areas 9 and 10 should be
opened. “There were 24,000 bushels
caught … all of a sudden we’re in dire
straights. Consider opening those areas up. That’s a million oysters … I’m
talking about Pocomoke Sound. I don’t
see the reason for not opening it up. I
don’t see how we’re hurting anything.”
“I’m ready to go back to work so I
can pay my house payments for the
next 12 months,” said Richie Turner,
who did not mention where he lives.
“We’re a month away and there’s no
decision … it’s hard for everyone in
this room.”
Don Porter of Saxis also argued
the Pocomoke Sound issue. “We’ve got
three rocks up there … they’ve got oysters in ’em … if I can catch eight bushels, I can make a living. … We would
appreciate you all thinking about
these three rocks and get them open.”
“Sounds like to me there are a lot of
closed areas that should be opened …
Saxis and the Pocomoke Sound,” said
Kenny Heath, also of the Shore. “I’ve
been working on the water all my life
… every time you get into something,
you take it away.”
The changes were made in an effort
to “protect oyster stocks, the stability of the oyster fishery and the clutch
and future productivity of public oyster beds.”
Under
the
changes:
•Those “currently eligible to purchase an oyster
hand scrape or oyster dredge license”
who have not done
so “after June 30,
2013 become ineligible … after Nov.
30, 2015”;
•Those
who
bought an oyster hand scrape or
dredge gear license
but reported no
harvest during the
2013-14 or 2014-15
season become ineligible to purchase
a license after Nov.
30, 2015.
•Those with licenses who reported
fewer than 20 days of harvest during
the past two seasons cannot buy licenses for scrape or dredge after Nov.
30, 2015.
•A gear transfer process is to be
established beginning Jan. 1, 2016,
with licenses “to be transferred within families, at death or between commercial fishermen under prescribed
conditions.”
•There will be an appeal process
for commercial fishermen regarding license ineligibility.
•Oyster patent tong licenses are to
be added to the list of suspended license sales and the suspended license
sales are to be limited to the period beginning July 1, 2013.
•From Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 2015, it
shall be unlawful to take, catch or possess oysters on Fridays from public
grounds or unassigned grounds from
all oyster hand scrape and dredge areas open for harvest.
•A maximum of eight bushels per
man is allowed, with the vessel limit determined by the number of registered commercial fisherman licensees who have paid the oyster resource
user fee multiplied by eight for all
hand tong areas, except the James
River and for the Deep Rock Patent
Tong Area.
Watermen’s boats lie at the ready at Saxis Harbor.
The commission also failed to pass
a proposal to limit the harvest to eight
bushels per licensed commercial fisherman who has paid an oyster resource
user fee, with a maximum daily vessel
limit of 16 bushels. That regulation remained at the current 24-bushel limit
per vessel.

Cape Charles Town Council reviewed proposed improvements for the
town harbor.
Assistant Town Manager Bob Panek
reported that the dredging of the inner
harbor is slated to begin in September
and run through the end of the year.
Earlier in the year, the outer harbor
was dredged. Much of the sand was
used to replenish and grow the town’s
beachfront. In preparation for the inner harbor dredging, the inland spoils
area near the entrance to the town has
been cleared.
Panek noted that the dredge pipeline will come ashore near the Shanty
restaurant and run eastward past the
“Hump” to the spoils site. It is not anticipated that the dredging will cause
any interruption to the harbor area
parking, but vessels entering and leaving the harbor will need to use caution to avoid the dredge itself. As the
dredge pipe has already begun to arrive in the harbor, boaters are urged to
use caution, and operate at a no-wake
speed to avoid damage.
A second project, one that has been
in the works for several years, will be
the addition of a third offshore breakwater to protect the inner harbor from
wind-driven waves from the west and
southwest. The estimated cost of the
breakwater is about $860,000 with 75
percent coming from the Virginia Port
Authority and the remainder from
town bonds.
“We anticipate the invitation for
bids (for the project) to be advertised
in September,” Panek said.
Hydrographic surveys have been
conducted and the specifications for
the project are based on the new water depths.
In other actions of the evening, council voted unanimously to authorize the
town manager to execute the FY 2016
Fire Programs Fund Disbursement
Agreement with the state.
The Virginia Fire Programs Fund
is derived from 1 percent of fire-related insurance coverage. Approximately 75 percent of the total fund goes
directly to cities, counties, and incorporated towns as Aid to Localities for
training, construction of training centers, firefighting equipment, and protective clothing. Allocations are based
on population. In previous years, the
town has received $10,000 from the
program.
Police Chief Jim Pruitt reported on
the Electronic Summons Systems Ordinance recently approved by the General Assembly. The program assesses
an additional $5 to the cost of criminal
or traffic cases in Northampton District and Circuit courts for any violation of any statute or ordinance, which
arises in the town.
The additional fee will provide
funds for software, hardware, and associated equipment costs for the implementation and maintenance of the
electronic summons system. The assessment will be collected by the clerk
of court and remitted to the town
treasurer.

Cabarrus (far right) are undertaking the clean-up Weirwood. The first of
the abandoned structures to be demolished was the old store, owned by
George T. Mapp (far left). Its remains, in the background, were burned
as a training event by Northampton Fire Department, represented by
Chief Jim LeCato (second from left). No one is being displaced during
the project, according to Murray, who said permission to demolish other abandoned structures has been obtained from an owner who is a
native of the Shore but now lives in New Jersey. Murray is securing all
property owner permission and necessary county permits. Murray said
he would like to see such a project extended countywide.

Pollios Receive Waterway Guardian Award
Shorekeeper Executive Director Jay Ford (right) poses with Michael and
Deb Pollio and their Shorekeeper Waterway Guardian Award, a bronze
of a black skimmer sculpted by David Turner. The Pollios received the
award at the Shorekeeper’s annual Clamboree on Aug. 15. Epitomizing
grassroots clean water advocacy, the Pollios were honored for their onthe-water monitoring as creekwatchers on Pungoteague Creek. Over
the years, they have removed marine debris, monitored wildlife, marked
drains for stormwater runoff, attended education programs, and championed the message that clean water is a right. Said Ford, “Their specific work as creekwatchers of reporting and monitoring Pungoteague
Creek is a model for others to follow, and we at the Shorekeeper hope this
award may help encourage others to join this Eastern Shore program.”

Belle Isle Books, an imprint of Brandylane Publishers, Inc. of Richmond,
Va., has released a new children’s book
written by Anna
Burger and illustrated by Laura
Craig, both Shore
natives and friends
since grade school.
“Pea Soup and
the Seafood Feast,”
a tale for young
readers,
centers
Burger
on Jack, a boy who
scrambles to come up with an alternative when his mother announces that
pea soup is on the
dinner menu. Jack
sets out on the Chesapeake Bay to catch
his own seafood
feast and discovers
a newfound appreciation for sustaining
marine life.
Craig
Burger, a firsttime author, acknowledges that the
“water-oriented story line” was “inspired by my childhood growing up on
the Eastern Shore.”
She grew up on
Onancock Creek,
where she received
her first boat at age
12 and learned how
to crab and fish
from her father and
grandfather. After several years practicing law, she is now following her first
love — writing. She now lives in Onancock with her husband and young son.
Craig was raised on the Shore and
currently lives with her husband and
daughters in Fredericksburg. A hobbyist painter all her life, Craig is now a
professional artist.

Hurricane Probes Intensify
With last weekend’s arrival of the
NASA Global Hawk unmanned aircraft at Wallops Flight Facility, scientists and pilots now are ready to start
the NOAA-led mission to improve hurricane forecasts of track and intensity using data collected by the Global
Hawk during hurricanes.
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) will work
with NASA scientists on the mission called Sensing Hazards with
Operational Unmanned Technology
(SHOUT). The mission will move the
Global Hawk closer to use as a weather forecast observations tool.
“We’re flying the Global Hawk above
hurricanes and other severe storms to
refine it as a new, powerful tool with the
potential to contribute to better forecasts of where hurricanes go and how
intense they are,” said Robbie Hood, director of NOAA’s Unmanned Aircraft
System Program. “The mission is part
of NOAA’s work to improve our nation’s
preparedness and resilience to hurricanes and other severe storms.”
From now until the end of September, pilots and scientists from NOAA,
NASA and partners will direct a series
of Global Hawk flights out over the Atlantic Ocean basin to collect data on
temperature, moisture, wind speed
and direction. The real-time data will
go into National Weather Service forecast models for use by the National
Hurricane Center.
“The Global Hawk allows us to stay
over these weather patterns a greater
amount of time than manned aircraft,”
said Gary Wick, NOAA’s lead scientist
for the mission. “It provides us with
an observing tool that has the endurance of a satellite but provides finer
resolution data and the precision of an
aircraft.”
The Global Hawk is equipped with
instruments to profile the inner workings of storms, including: •Dropsondes developed by NOAA
and the National Center for Atmospheric Research that are released
from the aircraft to profile temperature,
pressure, wind speed and direction;

•NASA-developed radar designed to
measure precipitation and wind speed;
•A microwave sounder from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to take
vertical profiles of temperature and
humidity;
•a NASA lightning instrument
package to measure the electric field of
thunderstorms.
This season, scientists also will
test whether the data from the Global
Hawk can help replace data collected
by satellites in the unlikely event that
a satellite goes down.
“We’re hopeful that won’t occur, but
we need to evaluate all options,” said
Wick.
The Global Hawk, managed by NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in California, allows data collection
from 60,000 feet, an altitude nearly
20,000 feet higher than manned aircraft, to the ocean surface. It can gather weather data continuously for up to
24 hours.
SHOUT is funded in part by the
Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of
2013, passed by Congress in the wake
of Hurricane Sandy.

~County Funding~ (Continued From Front Page)
Never Pay for Your Local News
late.” He was unsure about Parksley’s
status.
“We are in the process,” Parksley VF&RC President Freddie Matthews said Wednesday. “Our supervisor knows it. We had a death, Jimmy Rowley, our long-time secretary.
He had everything on thumb drives.
Couldn’t get all the information off so
we had to start fresh.” Rowley died in
December 2013.
Mason said due dates vary based
on the agency’s fiscal year. Parksley
VF&RC’s audit was due Sept. 30, 2014.
“When it comes around (again), it will
be year two” of noncompliance, Mason said, noting that reminder notices
were sent by both his office and the Accomack Department of Public Safety.
Melfa VF&RC’s audit was due on
Jan. 31, 2015. Tangier VF&RC should
have had its audit turned in by March
31, 2015.
The agencies also are required to
submit information about how they
spent the money. “Obviously, they
can’t submit how they spent the money,” Mason said of the four companies,
“since we haven’t given them any. They
haven’t reached out to me about the
funding at all. They have other sources of income … for example, ambulance
billing.”
Though the VF&RCs are assisted by
paid county fire medics, that service is
not affected by the noncompliance of
the volunteer companies. The funds
are not permitted to be used for political means or for fundraising, said Mason. They “must be in the delivery of
public safety.” The “money comes from
the general fund tax levy.”
Mason explained that the purpose
of auditing “is to express an opinion
on the financial statements and part of
expressing an opinion is (finding) that
they are materially correct.”
Fire and rescue companies from the
rest of the areas complied and received
between $111,900 and $119,900, depending on their services.
Other agencies and departments
that completed the audit and received
county funds were Accomack’s School
Board, $16,668,344, Department of
Social Services, $724,111, and Health
Department, $500,833; Eastern Shore

NEW RADIO STATION COMING TO THE SHORE
Independently owned and locally operated radio station 96.5 CTG
has received FCC approval on the acquisition of a frequency for a
new radio station.
“We’re thrilled to expand fun, locally-programmed radio for the
Shore,” said CTG Manager Greg Bojko. “CTG is unique by design.
We operate like radio did in the ’80s and ’90s with live, local
personalities, allowing us to be timely with news, weather and
events happening across Delmarva.”
A tower site for the new radio station should be secured within the
next couple of weeks.
“This expansion will allow us
to reach a significantly larger
coverage area on the Shore,”
Bojko said.
CTG currently plays a variety
of fun, upbeat hits from the ’70s
through today, featuring core
artists like Fleetwood Mac, the
Eagles, Red Hot Chili Peppers,
Billy Joel, Journey and Bruno Mars.
Programming plans and a launch date for the new radio station will
be announced in the weeks ahead.

SunTrust Gives to Educational Initiatives
SunTrust Bank Foundation has
awarded a total of $5,000 in grants to
Smart Beginnings Eastern Shore and
the Northampton County Education
Foundation.
In a joint award presentation of
$2,500 to each organization, Adair Tyler, SunTrust Eastern Shore vice president and financial adviser for SunTrust Investment Services, stated,
“This is just the first step in an ongoing partnership between SunTrust and
the two organizations to promote the
school and life success of young people
on the Eastern Shore. We believe that
starting early to promote children’s
school readiness and then supporting
quality public education is the surest
way to promote economic development
and the well-being of the citizens of the
Eastern Shore.”
Commenting on Sun Trust’s contribution to the two organizations, Mark
Johnson, SunTrust vice president and
community development manager for
Hampton Roads, stated, “There are
few factors more essential to our phys-
ical and mental well-being than the
economic vitality and quality of life
in the communities in which we live.
Just as each individual is a member of
a community, so are corporations members of the community in which they
operate and thus enjoy the privileges
and bear the responsibilities of caring
for those communities.”
Smart Beginnings Eastern Shore
is a coalition of 40 agencies, organizations, businesses, and concerned individuals who share the principle that
quality early childhood programs can
reduce the effects of poverty so prevalent among children on the Eastern
Shore and that programs that promote school readiness and well-being
are important for all children from
birth to age 5.
The Northampton County Education Foundation was established to
engage the community and mobilize
resources to promote student performance and excellence in teaching in
Northampton County’s public schools.

The local football season got underway last weekend with Northampton
walloping West Point and Broadwater steamrolling Cape Hatteras out of
North Carolina.
All area schools are in action tonight
as Chincoteague hosts Broadwater, Arcadia takes on visiting First Flight,
Nandua entertains Rappahannock
and Northampton seeks a second win
at home against Mathews. All kickoffs
are at 7 p.m.
Coaches and players have been
working since early August to prepare for the upcoming season. Most
fans who follow football know the
head coaches of local teams, from Nandua’s Tom Rotkowski, in his first full
year as a head coach, to Broadwater’s
Noble Palmer, who appeared in the
Northampton’s Joe Ortelli with
Mitchell Pidgeon Friday night on
the sidelines.
Coaches Who Give to the Game They Love
Northampton program last week as a
member of the undefeated 1960 Yellow
Jacket team and has coached for almost a half century, much of that time
in football, but he also had a stint at
Great Bridge, where his softball team
won three state titles.
There also are two local assistant
football coaches who have a long history with the game. They might not get
the attention the head coaches receive,
but they are appreciated by their players and the coaching staff.
Chincoteague’s Joe Leigh is coaching his 50th year this season, including
16 as a defensive line coach at Mount
Union, a Division III powerhouse that
won seven national titles during his
time there.
Leigh was the head coach at Ravenna High School in Ohio for 18 years
and also coached the wrestling team.
Prior to that, he was an assistant football coach at St. Mary’s High School in
Colorado Springs, Colo. He was a fouryear letter winner as a center at Hiram College.
“I played football 12 years and
have coached for 50 years. It’s been
a big part of my life,” said Leigh last
week while running his Pony linemen
through drills.
Leigh, who retired to Chincoteague
because of his love of fishing, said this
is likely his last year. “Next year I will
have grandsons who will be playing
football. I need to spend some time
with them and watch them play.”
Northampton’s Joe Ortelli played
quarterback and defensive back at
Kutztown University before embarking
on a long career in high-school coaching
in his native Pennsylvania.
He has served as a head coach for
25 years and as an assistant for the
same span. After retiring to the Eastern Shore after a career as a teacher,
Chincoteague’s Joe Leigh watches Pony linemen run through drills.
he took over the Northampton football
program and then stepped back to become an assistant coach.
“I have been involved with football
since Midget League when I was about
4,” said Ortelli Friday night. “That’s 67
years either playing or coaching. That’s
a long time,” added Ortelli, who hinted
he may be capping his career with this
season in Eastville.
His head coaching career in the Le-
high Valley includes stints at Pius X,
Pocono Mountain and Emmaus.
While at Pocono Mountain, he was
Monroe County’s coach of the year, and
at Emmaus, he led the Green Hornets
to a championship in 1981.
In 2010, Ortelli was inducted into
the McDonald’s/Lehigh Valley All-Star
Classic Hall of Fame.
Good men who do what they do for
the love of the game.

Beckett Runs Wild as Jackets Sting West Point, 42-14
Story and photo by Bill Sterling
It was the Dyshawn Beckett show
Friday night at Hamilton Field in
Eastville as Northampton opened its
season with a 42-14 win over West
Point, making a statement that the
2015 campaign will be different than
the past four-seasons span, during
which the Jackets had only one win.
“Everything feels different this season,” said Northampton coach Ty Traister. “These players are hungry for some
wins. They’ve worked hard and want
to change things here. We just can’t be
satisfied with this. We need to feed on
this win and keep improving. The only
negative that can come out of tonight is
if we stop working to get better.”
In a remarkable performance, Beckett scored five touchdowns and had 312
yards rushing, plus a 65-yard kickoff
return for a score.
West Point, which blanked North
ampton 40-0 last season, scored on its
opening drive after converting a 4th
and 9 on a fake punt before Dustin
Conti caught a 20-yard touchdown
pass from Jared Lawson. The Pointers
were not to score again until tallying a
meaningless touchdown on a long pass
against Northampton reserves with 16
seconds remaining.
Following that opening score, Beckett ripped off an 80-yard touchdown
run and a 2-point conversion to knot
that game at 8. Then, after the Jacket defense stopped West Point by the
length of a link of the chain, Beckett
raced 81 yards for another touchdown.
Beckett proved pretty much unstoppable as he broke into the secondary on
his next carry and scored on a 45-yard
touchdown run. A Tyler-Handwerk-toTamaze-Brisco completion provided 2
more points.
Northampton’s Devin Hill, who had
an interception early in the game to
stop a drive, had a 65-yard interception return for a touchdown called
back. But an eight-yard Beckett TD
gave the Jackets a 30-8 halftime lead.
Beckett increased that lead by taking the second-half kickoff 65 yards
for a score. Any thoughts of a West
Point comeback were erased when
Northampton’s Cody Goller recovered
a West Point fumble on the 1-yard line
on the ensuing drive.
Frederick Williams scored on a 63yard touchdown run for the final Jacket
points. Williams had 95 yards rushing.
A West Point score with Jared Lawson throwing a 30-yard pass to Dusten
Conti as the clock ran out capped the
scoring with Northampton up 42-14.
Senior Austin Brady and junior Qunyon Williams were defensive standouts
for the Jackets. Northampton coaches
said the offensive line performed well,
opening holes for Beckett and other
Jacket backs. In addition to Brady and
Williams, Devin Taylor, Brandon Brittingham and Demitrius Trower handled most of the blocking chores.
“We got a great effort tonight,” said
Jacket coach Traister. “I don’t know
how Beckett’s heart fits inside his
shoulder pads. He refuses to go down
on the first hit. He doesn’t look like a
power back, but he is, and then he has
moves to make people miss and the
speed to pull away.
“One of the big differences in our
program is just the numbers. We have

Northampton will host Mathews,
winner of two games in 2014, tonight
at 7 p.m. “The administration and the
school have been really supportive,” said
Traister. “I know it’s been a long time
since Northampton won the first game
of the football season. I hope people come
out and see what we have going on here.”

Vikings Surf by Cape Hatteras, 47-6
Broadwater’s Major Morgan takes on two Cape Hatteras tackles in the
Vikings’ 47-6 win Saturday at Bynum Field in Exmore.
Jackets Win
Volleyball Opener
Northampton swept Franklin 25-17,
25-13 and 25-14 Tuesday night in volleyball at home. Kennedy Webb led the
Jackets with seven aces and six assists.
Taylor Webb and Makayla Wilson had
five kills each. Angela Head had five
assists and two kills. Evenlly Dunton
had four aces and three kills.
Northampton will host an invitational volleyball match Saturday beginning
at 10 a.m. Nandua, Northumberland
and West Point will be competing.
Arcadia fell to Norfolk Christian in volleyball action at home last
week. Cana Lankford led a run of five
straight points while serving.
Broadwater defeated Portsmouth
Christian in four sets Monday on the
road and has its home opener tomorrow at 1:15 p.m. against Denbigh.
Story and photo by Bill Sterling
Broadwater overcame an early 6-0
deficit to Cape Hatteras to score 47
unanswered points, including 34 in the
first quarter, to open its season with a
47-6 win Saturday at Bynum Field in
Exmore.
The Vikings went three and out
on their first series before Hatteras’
Matthew Tolsen hit Noah Ranno on a
halfback option pass for 89 yards only
three minutes after the opening kick.
Tyler Major scored the first of his
four touchdowns on the Vikings’ next
offensive play with a 53-yard run, then
followed with a 54-yard dash to the
end zone on the next series after Hatteras fumbled the kickoff.
Hatteras fumbled again on the ensuing kickoff, and Taylor Major joined
his brother in the scoring column with
a 19-yard run.
Before the quarter was over, Viking
quarterback Austin Murphy threw to
Chris Locklear for a 17-yard touchdown, and Tyler Major scampered for a
40-yard scoring run, giving Broadwater
a 34-6 lead after a lengthy first quarter.

Jackets Lose Field
Hockey Heartbreaker
In field hockey, Northampton lost in a
scrimmage to King’s Fork 2-1, giving up
a goal with five seconds remaining. Erica Head scored the lone Jacket goal. The
team opens at home on Tuesday against
Jamestown at 6:30 p.m.
and Locklear, playing quarterback, reversed field and scored on a 38-yard
run with 5:16 left in the first half.
Both teams took frequent water
breaks on a hot day made tougher
by the lack of depth for both teams.
Broadwater’s roster includes only 18
players, but Cape Hatteras made the
long trip with just 14 players.
In the second half, the only score
was a 19-yard run by Tyler Major,
who finished the day with 146 yards
on eight carries. Thomas Scott had 40
yards on five carries and was 4 of 6 on
extra-point conversions.
Major Morgan had two catches for 35
yards and also kicked an extra point in
his only attempt. On defense, Morgan
led the defense with nine tackles and
a fumble recovery. Jimmy Lord had six
tackles, and Sawyer Colubourne had
four tackles plus two interceptions.
Jack Salm and Casey Wescoat had four
tackles each. Liam Kelly and Locklear
also had a fumble recovery each.
Broadwater travels to Chincoteague
tonight for a 7 o’clock kickoff. The Vikings lost to the Ponies 42-30 last season after holding a 30-14 lead with
6:14 remaining in the third quarter.
Arcadia’s Cana Lankford served
five straight points in action against
Norfolk Christian last week.
Northampton’s Angela Head sets up

Corey Riefler has signed to play
baseball at Manhattan Christian
College in Manhattan, Kans. At
Chincoteague, Riefler earned first
team All-District honors in 2014 as
a pitcher and outfielder, going 6-0
and hitting .374. “I am very excited
to add Corey to this signing class,”
said Coach Jimmy McDonald. He
is exactly the kind of kid we are
looking for in a student athlete
here at MCC.” Corey is the son of
George and Michelle Riefler.
Depth-Shy Chincoteague Looks for Encore
Story by Bill Sterling
Last year, Chincoteague had one
of its largest squads in school history
with 38 players while tying a school record with seven wins against two season-ending losses that were partially
due to key injuries in the backfield.
With the smallest enrollment of any
public school in Virginia competing
in football, Chincoteague was hoping
to avoid injuries this season. Scratch
that, says Pony coach Nick Howard.
Before the first practice, the Ponies
lost four starting linemen due to baseball injuries last spring and freakish
accidents while volunteering on the island over the summer.
Consequently, the Ponies are only
24 strong, and once again, undersized
and lacking in depth.
But there is Gardner Fosque, the
powerfully built running back who
gained over 1,600 yards and scored
25 touchdowns in those nine games.
Those stats are even more impressive
when one considers Fosque was limited to four carries or fewer in several
games that were blowouts. In a 54-0
shellacking of Rappahannock County
last season, the senior had 169 yards
on four carries.
With a depleted line, Fosque will
be hard-pressed to duplicate those
numbers. But the backfield should
be balanced with quarterback Collin
Derrickson leading the attack and
Cody Britton and Issac Raymond both
carrying the ball and leading Fosque
through the hole.
Smallish but tough Chris Conser
will take over at center with Noah
Jester and Ryan Moltedo the guards
and Lane Campbell and Justin Newsome the tackles.
Trevor Reed, John Wailes, Jaquan
Persinger and Matt Reed will be among
the receiving targets for Chincoteague,
which might be forced to pass more than
last season. Derrickson, who is a firstyear starter, saw ample playing time last
season and should be up to the task.
Defensively, Coach Howard feels the
Ponies are better suited to overcome
the unfortunate injuries suffered before the first snap.
The offensive starters on the line
will see plenty of action on defense, but
Malik Bland, Jacob Dove, Noah Jester,
Garret Gilfoyle and newcomer Chris
Fox will provide capable reinforcements
while Tyler Mettler, Voshawn Davis,
and Dustin Holloway will be among the
linebacking corps. Senior Noah McGee
and newcomer Chase Demay will see
action at cornerback.
The kicking game is in good hands
with punter Kyle Blacksher and placekicker Josh Bale.
“Our goal this season is to finish
.500,” says Howard. “The boys are
working really hard this year and doing everything we ask of them.”
The Ponies open tonight at home
with Broadwater, a team they edged
last season with a fourth-quarter
comeback fueled by Fosque’s 80-yard
touchdown run.
For the first time in over 20 years,
Chincoteague also faces Northampton,
a team that should be improved over
last season. With the Ponies depleted
by injuries and graduation, it should
be an interesting match-up.
“Hopefully, we can stay healthy and
win some of those games that can go
either way,” says Howard. “Stopping
teams on defense might be the key.”

Nandua Must Fill Holes, Will Rely on Defense
Story and photos by Bill Sterling
Last year, the trio of Tyreim Blake
Jakorah Parker and Anthony Smith, all
three-year starters for Nandua, gained
almost 85 percent of the all-purpose
yards, with Blake and Parker each
surpassing 1,000 yards and Smith just
short of that mark. That trio also accounted for 37 of the 48 touchdowns
scored by the Warriors last season
“We’ve got some big shoes to fill in
the backfield,” said Warrior coach Tom
Rotkowski, “but these young guys are
looking good in practice and are anxious to show what they can do. It helps
that we’ve got some experience back on
the line.”
Trevor Wessells, the only returning
Warrior to gain more than 30 yards
rushing last season, also tallied six
touchdowns last season and provides
points in the kicking game as well.
In preseason, Kelly Reagan, a Broadwater transfer, was taking most of the
snaps at quarterback and showed a
deft touch throwing the ball. Jaden Da-
vis is more of a running option at quarterback and can play wide receiver.
Carrying the ball will be Quashon
Reid, Daquan Bailey, Hunter Cooper,
William Gunter, Robert Bailey, Trevor
Cooper, Melquan Davis, George Abrogabir, Billy Kellam and Gabe Francis.
Scrapping the single wing that the
Warriors have used for three years,
Coach Rotkowski says several in that
group will be used as an H-back in a
spread offense that should feature
more passing than in the past.
“We need to be two-dimensional in
our attack,” said Rotkowski, who will
lean on Mahagee Wise as a wideout
as well as Waylon White, Adrian Matthews, Evan McGregor, Dontrail Johnson and Parker Taylor.
The line should be a strength, with
2014 All-Distict selections Jhamir
Poulson and Tevin Custis leading the
group and Jeffrey Kelly, Cedric Walters, Adrian Clark, James Keyshawn,
Nick Joseph, Zeth Harvey, Kwame
Opoku, Ryan Shea, Joseph Byrd, Isaiah Sabatino, Cullen Pruitt and Lloyd
Wise
Poulson
Jacob adding plenty of experience and
depth. Wise was also an All-District
pick at defensive end last season.
“We’ve got 20 seniors (compared to
only 10 juniors), so we’ve got some players who have seen game action. I am
also expecting our guys coming up from
JV to make an impact,” says Rotkowski.
Nandua finished 7-4 last season
with a one-sided loss in the state playoffs. Just making the playoffs for the
fourth consecutive season will be a
reasonable target for the Warriors.
Tonight’s home opener is with Rappahannock, which finished 7-5 last
season and will provide a tough test
for the Warriors. Maryland games with
Bennett and Cambridge later in the
season also will pose challenges.
In the district, there are the two
highly anticipated matchups with
Arcadia and only one game against
Northampton.
Coach Rotkowski, in his first full
year as the Nandua coach, believes
defense will have to carry the day until the newcomers on offense start to
gel. But he believes
the offense, under
the direction of assistant Coach Rick
Barnes, will do just
that.
Tonight will be
the first opportunity
to shine.

Arcadia Mixing Young Players with Returnees
Story and photos by Bill Sterling
Arcadia returns several key players
this season and with some promising
newcomers, they could lead the Firebirds to a much improved season after
a tough 2-8 campaign in 2014.
Starting at quarterback with Jamal
Savage, a speedy, versatile performer,
and then countering with 2014 All-District fullback Contrell Brown, a powerful, 6’,4”, 270 pounder who will pose a
match-up problem for most teams, the
Firebirds have weapons that also include
running backs Terrell Wharton, Tyquan
Payton, Jaquan Wharton, Kerric Hickman and Paul Brown and wide receivers
Devon Rogers and Richie Shrieves.
The line has good size with the return of 2014 All-District selection
Koby Linton, a solid 230 pounder. Also
providing bulk are Lucas Thompson
250 pounds; Rishon Townsend, 240
pounds; Travis Smullin 255 pounds;
Brandon Townsend, 220 pounds; and a
trio of sophomores: Quinton Taylor, 240
pounds; Armonee Wise, 230 pounds;
and Quazaon Davis, 225 pounds.
With Brown anchoring the defense
as a noseguard, the Firebirds should
be tough to run on.
Linebacker Tyric Harris, an All-District pick last year, can deliver a hit,
and Savage and Shrieves also earned
All-District honors on defense last year.
Paul Brown has a nose for the ball.
With only 24 players on the squad,
Coach Tony Nock will have to look to
almost every player during the game.
Seeing action at running back and in the
defensive backfield will be Clem Jones,
Dominic Simenzski and Briden Bibbins.
Trey Ballard and Shykeem Jacobs are
Firebird running backs and will play defensive end and linebacker, respectively,
on defense. Kobie Henderson will see action on the offensive and defensive lines.
Logan Godwin and Cameron Vandeneyne will handle the kicking duties
and should see action at wide receiver
and defensive back, as will Emmanuelle Hickman.
The schedule is kinder to the Firebirds this season as perennial playoff
teams like King William and Sussex,
which have opened the past two Arcadia
campaigns, have been replaced by First
Flight out of North Carolina and Franklin, a good program but a 1A school that
won only three games last season.
First Flight lost a 1-point decision to
a state rival last week.
The Firebirds meet Broadwater
on Sept. 25 and end the season with
Northampton at home. Arch-rival
Nandua visits Oak Hall the third week
of the season.
“Like a lot of teams, we don’t have
much depth,” said Arcadia coach Tony
Nock, “but we’ve got some guys who
have been in the thick of things and
are looking to make a good showing.
They have been working hard in preseason.”
Nock
said
he
was pleased with
last week’s scrimmage against Chincoteague. “If we get
things settled down,
we should have a
good showing against
First Flight.”

No Tax Relief for Solar Project
Dear Editor:
An old political rhyme goes, “Don’t tax you, don’t
tax me, tax that man behind the tree.” The “me” in
this case is Amazon.com, with assets of $88.9 billion
dollars. Amazon is the largest retailer in the U.S.,
surpassing Walmart last month. They are now planning an 80-megawatt green solar project in Oak Hall.
But wait. There is a fly in the ointment. Is it really 80 or just four 20-megawatt units? Is the projects’
taxable equipment value $200 million or a modest
$3.4 million? Many unanswered questions remain.
Amazon Solar is pleading for tax relief. If they
were to be taxed on the same formula as every Accomack farmer, waterman or other business, they
might not be able to continue with the project.
With the promise of four new grass-cutting jobs,
can we afford to let them go? This is outright corporate welfare and the man behind the tree is you, the
county taxpayer.
Paul Muhly, Parksley

past week’s Northampton Board of Supervisors meeting. I was quite surprised when an application for two
special-use permits that are not permitted by the code
came before the body. These were proposals concerning
a triangular parcel in Kiptopeke, which is zoned “Hamlet.” The owner has already received two special-use
permits for the 1.5-acre parcel — one for a restaurant
and one for a multi-family apartment building.
It is clear that the two new requests are not allowed in the code, as evidenced by the words “shall
not.” One was for 200 square feet of retail space to
be added to an already approved restaurant, making
it a convenience store under the code. Convenience
stores “shall not” be allowed in a Hamlet district.
Supervisor Granville Hogg brought this to the attention of his fellow board members, yet was the only
one to vote against the proposal.
The second request for the same parcel, was for
two food trucks to be operated on the property and
for catering. At one point, the request was reduced
to one truck. As with the retail space, the code specifically forbids a catering kitchen in areas zoned
“Hamlet.”
During public comment, I asked that the portion
of the code that provides the authority to approve the
use be read aloud. The request was voted down.
In another disturbing matter, a local businessman, Mr. Singh, referenced a letter he sent to the
board for inclusion in the public record in 2014 re-
garding opposition to the arbitrary rezoning of tax
parcels 112-A-14 and 112-A-16. The letter contained
a petition signed by 110 people stating their opposition to the rezoning based on public safety concerns.
According to Mr. Singh, the issue was again raised
to Chairman Rick Hubbard in April
2015, and County Administrator Katie Nunez informed Mr. Singh that the
board members had received both letters expressing those concerns.
Subsequently, Mr. Singh went
through the entire file of public comments on file in
the Northampton County Administration Complex
and discovered that neither letter was on file nor in the
board packets for review. Zoning is important. The approval of a use specifically prohibited by the code is precedent-setting and
has the potential to negatively impact your neighborhood. I suggest that the matter from last Tuesday
be challenged.
As I attend these meetings, I become increasingly concerned about the lack of transparency and accountability by our county government. This could be
remedied if the county would begin publishing the
board’s briefing materials on the county’s web site for
all to see no later than the Friday before the meeting,
and also make a hard copy available for review at the
county Administration Complex. This will go a long
way in allowing the public to be fully informed prior
to a meeting and to be prepared for a productive dialogue with the Board of Supervisors. This is public
information and should be shared with the public.

If we are complacent, the Eastern Shore of Virginia will become the unsightly location of a huge chicken industry that doesn’t care about the county, just
the number of chickens it can churn out every day.
One chicken house holds 40,000 birds. The plan is for
8-12 houses per location.
I hope it is not too late. Call your district supervisor. Let them know what
you think. It is their job to represent
your interests.
The supervisors could take this opportunity to demonstrate that they are good stewards of the county they represent by adopting and
enforcing the same guidelines established by counties in Delaware and Maryland for poultry farming.
What is the balance? It starts with listening and
respecting the concerns of residents of Accomack
County.

Chicken Houses Need Guidelines
Dear Editor:
There have been many articles in the newspaper
recently about the poultry house boom in Accomack
County and the positive support the industry is receiving from the Board of Supervisors.
I think the question is greater than whether we
can strike a balance between agricultural pursuits
and the proximity of residential development. Can
we smell clean air? Can we maintain pristine waters
that support the fishing and wildlife industry? Can
we sustain the beauty of the Eastern Shore?
Approximately five years ago when Accomack
County zoning changed to five-acre parcels on agriculturally zoned property, did you realize that was
going to mean hundreds of chicken houses in our
backyard? What is the limit?
If we impose the guidelines, such as reasonable
setbacks, landscaping and adherence to water quality regulations, who is going to monitor those guideline as hundreds of chicken houses go up around the
county? It is going to be up to the citizens of Accomack to ensure the poultry industry conforms to the
local and state regulations.
Library Appreciates Facelift
Dear Editor:
The Eastern Shore Public Library and its Board
of Trustees wish to thank all the volunteers who
manned the vacuum cleaners, scrubbed the floors,
cleaned the shelves, scrubbed the children’s room,
and performed many more tasks too numerous to
mention on our clean-up day on Aug. 8.
Because of this huge effort, the staff can better
dedicate their time to serving the patrons. With our
limited financial resources, our volunteers help to
maintain the high quality of service that our patrons
deserve.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact me at [email protected] or call 7871518 or contact your local library.
