Circulation 13,000 March 11, 2016 Free Solar Project Finally Sees the Light By Ron West The 20-megawatt (MW) solar project that has been on and off the table since the first of the year, finally came to a vote at Tuesday’s meeting of the Northampton Board of Supervisors. The project, proposed for a farm at 15446 Seaside Rd. just east of Eastville, faced mixed reviews by some of the supervisors. The main concern centered around the fact that the company was not allowed to be taxed by the county because of a state policy prohibiting localities from taxing solar projects that do not exceed 20 MW. Following meetings with Hecate, the board ironed out an agreement for a $200,000 upfront cash payment to the county from Hecate plus annual fees that would provide an additional $782,488 over a 35-year period. Following additional questions by the supervisors, they voted 3-2 to allow Hecate to proceed with the project. (Supervisors Granville Hogg and Robert Duer voted against the project.) A second contentious special-use permit (SUP) request that has simmered since the first of the year was from Eastern Shore Rural Health (ESRH) to construct a health care facility on the west side of Lankford Highway just south of the Eastville traffic signal. Initially recommended to the board two months ago by the Planning Commission, the request hit a roadblock as some of the supervisors opposed the location. ESRH’s plan calls for a de-acceleration lane for the southbound lane of Lankford Highway as well as the closure (Continued on Page 9) Kyle Sturgis, wearing a yellow “Keep 2015 Zoning” T-shirt also worn by several other speakers, makes a presentation before a joint public hearing of the Northampton Board of Supervisors and Northampton County Planning Commission on the proposed repeal of the zoning ordinance passed in December 2015. The hearing was held at the high school. Pictured on stage (from left) are Planning Commission members Michael Ward, Kay Downing, Dixon Leatherbury, commission Chairwoman Jacqueline Chatmon, board Chairman Spencer Murray, and Supervisors Larry LeMond, Oliver Bennett, George Duer and Granville Hogg. Zoning Debate Heats Up Story and photo by Bill Sterling An estimated 150 to 200 people, many wearing yellow T-shirts with the message “Keep 2015 Zoning,” attended a public hearing Wednesday night at Northampton High School on proposed zoning changes. Once called the “silent majority” who supported zoning changes passed by the Northampton Board of Supervisors in December — just before two of the five supervisors were ending their term — the pro-2015 zoning group was the vast majority among the speakers for the first two hours of a nearly three-hour hearing. However, toward the end of the hearing, the supervisors and members of the Northampton County Planning Commission heard from a number of speakers who supported the board’s action in January to repeal the month-old zoning plan and revert to the 2009 plan with amendments, now called the 2016 Proposed Zoning Code. Speakers sporting the yellow T-shirts said the 2009 zoning plan was “a flawed document” that is not business friendly, is overly complex with its 270 pages of text and places too heavy a tax burden on the agricultural and residential communities. They cited declining population, calling Northampton “the poorest county in the state,” and said the county needs “additional sources of revenue.” “Moving backward is not the an- swer to anything,” said Pat Coady, also questioning the legality of the process the supervisors used to arrive at Tuesday’s public hearing. Referring to the 2016 Proposed Zoning Code, Christine Tankard said, “It does not seem reasonable the way it was developed,” calling the process “not transparent with little public input. … It is ridiculous to adopt a 700-page document that needs to be cross-referenced.” Realtor Montaigne Cree said she that when a client who wanted to build in Northampton County met with Zoning Director Melissa Kellam, the client was satisfied with what Kel(Continued on Page 14) 2 • Eastern Shore Post • March 11, 2016 Candidate Slates Set for Town Elections May 3 By Linda Cicoira Contested races for mayor will be held for the Eastern Shore towns of Chincoteague, Onley, Parksley and Cheriton when voters go to the polls on May 3, according to registrar offices in Accomack and Northampton counties.

Sauver, 66, of Dreamland #1 in Accomac was found dead in the median strip of Lankford Highway in front of Perdue Foods — where he worked — about five hours after a bus struck him on March 31, 2015, according to a State Police report. According to court documents, an investigation showed that around 3 a.m., “a 2001 Vanhool Charter Bus was traveling southbound when the driver struck a Haitian male who was attempting to cross the highway.” Chen was charged with leaving the scene of the crash, a felony. A jury trial is set for March 22 in Accomack Circuit Court for that criminal case. Chen is free on $15,000 secured bond. Shortly after Chen was arrested, State Police Sgt. Michelle Anaya said investigators found that Chen “stopped the vehicle and made a quick search around the immediate area of the bus before leaving the scene.” The lawsuit states, “Brice left the Perdue facility … after his work shift ended, and was walking in a southerly direction towards his residence not far from the facility.” It also claims that Brice’s spouse, Kettelie Joseph, and his children, deserve compensatory damages for “sorrow, grief, mental anguish … and services, protection, care and assistance … and expenses for the funeral services … and other expenses incident to his injuries and death.” “Chen had the last clear chance to avoid the collision because he was traveling along a flat, straight, dry portion of U.S. 13, after midnight, with virtually no highway traffic to distract him, and his headlights illuminating the highway for hundreds of feet in front of the bus,” the suit claims. “Chen drifted to the right … outside the far right southbound lane, encroaching into the enlarged, paved, shoulder area.” The lawsuit further claims Chen and the bus company are liable because the death was the result of the “recklessness and negligence of Chen, including failure to keep a proper lookout, keep the bus in the lane and under control … and failure to stop at the scene, which “enhanced the injuries” of Brice “as he was rendered helpless and was denied prompt medical attention.” It also claims Chen failed to use his side mirrors and “to have adequate rest to avoid becoming fatigued while operating a commercial passenger bus.” “At the moment of the substantial collision, the entire right front windshield of the bus shattered, however there is no evidence that Chen, the bus operator, ever stopped at the scene to examine the situation, to render assistance, or to notify law enforcement officers, and instead continued traveling southbound through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel towards his intended destination,” the suit alleges. When day broke and Brice was discovered, law enforcement officials were notified and surveillance cameras at the bridge-tunnel “pinpointed the … bus and then eventually confirmed the driver as Chen, and the bus owner as United Bus.” The lawsuit says, “Chen was acting within the scope of his employment and as the agent of United Bus when he decided to flee the scene … in an effort to avoid responsibility for causing the injuries to and ultimate death.” It states, Brice was on the shoulder of the road “when he was suddenly struck and killed.” Thornton is asking for a jury trial. Chen and the bus company have not yet answered the allegations. They have 21 days, until around March 21 to respond. Lawyers Edwin Stuart Booth and Richard Neal Shapiro of Virginia Beach are representing Thornton.

Beginning in May, a Cape group of people, led by Cape Charles Historical Charles Society Executive Director Kimb Denny, is bringing a farmers’ market to town. People initiating separate, efforts to create a farm market in Cape Charles learned of each other’s activities and teamed up to form a unified vision for a market to serve the Lower Shore. Barbara O’Hare and Karen Gay started to plan for a market for downtown Cape Charles. Simultaneously, Denny saw the market as a vehicle to encourage people to visit the museum as well as a gathering and shopping place for area residents. The town also had been exploring the idea, and independently coordinated a one-day event to be held Saturday, May 28, in hopes that it would provide the running start this idea needed. When the groups converged, much discussion took place about the logistics and location of the market. Everyone agreed that it would be a good idea to hold the market at the Cape Charles Museum and Welcome Center, 814 Ran- TOWN OF MELFA NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING AND PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given, pursuant to §15.2-1800 of the Code of Virginia, that the Town Council of the Town of Melfa will hold a public hearing, at the meeting described below, on a proposed lease of a portion of the Town Hall outside premises at 19538 Main Street, Melfa, Virginia, to Chesapeake Bay Communications, LLC for erection and operation of a RF reception and transmission site and related equipment.

NEVER PAY FOR YOUR LOCAL NEWS March 11, 2016 • Eastern Shore Post • 7 Exmore Town Council Considers Range of Financial Issues By Ron West Exmore Town Council conducted a public hearing to receive comments on a proposal to change the business license fees for new businesses that establish in the town. The ordinance would allow the business owner to pay a flat fee of $30 for each of the first two years, after which the standard Business, Professional, and Occupational License Tax (BPOL) tax would be put in place. Kenneth Carpenter, one of only two speakers to address the issue, questioned the fairness of allowing one business a tax break over another. Carpenter asked how the town would compensate existing businesses in order to be fair. Carpenter said it would take more than a tax break to attract new businesses. Wardtown resident Ken Dufty spoke in support of the proposed change, noting that the town has a reputation for being a good place to live and operate a business. On a vote of 5-0 (Councilman G.W. Adkins was absent), council approved the modification. In other business, Phil Custis, representing Randy Custis Park in Nassawadox, asked for funding to help expand the park. Custis asked council to consider providing $15,000 each of the next two years. Randy Custis Memorial Fund Executive Director Roger Eitelman said the park wants to add lights to the girls’ softball field, build a fitness center, and ides R y n o P Zoo / rses) Petting s Carriage Ho harle (Cape C Slide Bounce sements) Amu d r a Y k (Bac inting a P e c a F Hunt g g E r e East garding the possibility of a skateboard park in the town. While not asking for funding for the project, Walker asked council to endorse the concept and to help with a site for it. He said the park could help attract families with children to the area. Council agreed to discuss the project at the upcoming budget session. Town Zoning Director Taylor Dukes proposed that council consider toughening the ordinance which charges owners of abandoned or unlicensed vehicles $50 to owners for their disposition. Dukes suggested it be increased to $100, with the possibility of an additional fine of $500 if the fee is unpaid. Council agreed to review the ordinance change next month. add an indoor soccer field. Estimates to add lighting to the softball field run as high as $100,000. Asked how Exmore would benefit from such expenditure, Eitelman noted that efforts are being made to attract tournaments with teams from off the Shore. If that occurs, he suggested that the hotels and restaurants in the immediate area would benefit, and the town would receive revenue from the food and transient occupancy tax. Town resident Donnie Kellam spoke in support of the town helping to fund the park’s needs. Council agreed to take the matter under consideration during discussion of the FY2017 budget later this spring.

The agreement would allow a town representative to sit on a panel that would design the new beach area and parking lots. However, the panel would not be able to share information with the public unless the FWS gave permission. Councilmen Jim Frese and Ben Ellis were not happy with that restriction and felt that in the end the FWS would do as it pleased. Others, like Mayor Jack Tarr and Councilman Gene Wayne Taylor, agreed that being represented on the panel would allow them to give their opinions. “How else are we going to have input?” asked Tarr. “You do need to be there,” said Taylor. “You work things out for the best. Things can get done. Stay calm and work things out together.” Also on the panel would be representatives from the National Park Service, Army Corps of Engineers, the state and Accomack County. Council approved a contract with Branscome Eastern Shore for $385,303 for several paving projects. A breakdown showed Ocean Boulevard/Pension Street milling, base and surface for a total of $292,415; Curtis Merritt Harbor paving for $40,711; Ocean Boulevard extended trail paving for $21,015; and various sidewalks, paving and gutters totaling $31,162. The town also announced that it is applying for grants to fund the replacement of the well-visited four giant Adirondack chairs that spell the word LOVE. The chairs were toppled and broken by Winter Storm Jonas in January. The chairs were each 10 feet tall and weighed more than 500 pounds. Also in the works are plans to put up a story board near the pony swim area.

The chief said they want paid services to be closer to home during the day when volunteers are at work. The company runs calls not only on the island but also to Sanford, Messongo, Grotons, McKinley Park and an area known as “Long Road.” Justice plans to present the request to the county Board of Supervisors next week. He said in 1992 the community asked for paid workers to be funded with a tax increase. Since then, property owners have been paying the tariff, but the service stopped between two and three years ago, he continued. At that time, the paid fire/medics were moved to Oak Hall, 14 to 16 miles away. Although the average response time is within the acceptable 20-minute window when based on the number of calls answered during the day, the next closest ambulance is in Bloxom and that could take “at least” 25 to 35 minutes to get to Saxis, Justice added. He said Greenbackville residents also will be coming forward to complain. The issues stem from a recent proposal to add paid services to the southern end of the county. Painter volunteer firefighters are preparing for an ambulance service there that would be run by Accomack Public Safety. The ambulance is being provided by Wachapreague Volunteer Fire Company. The supervisors have proposed a 3-cent per $100 valuation tax rate hike on real estate (for all but Chincoteague, which has its own program) to pay for the service. “We are not against what Wachapreague and Painter are trying to do,” said Justice. “I commend them. But let’s play fair. Don’t forget the same problem exists in the north.” Justice said there are more than 200 people living on Saxis and a lot more in the surrounding areas. When Tall Pines Campground starts its season in a couple of weeks, the population there will grow to between 800 and 1,800.

The estimated cost would be just over $81,000 through June 30. Carpenter also has requested an additional county ambulance costing $200,000. Citing concerns over the additional funding requests, the board again tabled a decision on the issue. Earlier in the evening Virginia Shorekeeper Jay Ford urged the board to oppose offshore drilling for oil exploration. Ford noted that the risks of an oil spill far outweigh any economical gains that might be expected. Asked by Supervisor Oliver Bennett if the county would receive proceeds from the drilling, Ford stated that as of now, the county likely would not reap any financial benefit. On a vote of 4-1, with Bennett abstaining, the board voted to oppose offshore drilling. Dave Kabler, representing the Parks and Recreation Board, presented a request to expand Parks and Recreation offerings by making more use of the former middle-school complex, adding on an aquatics center that would have an in-ground pool. Kabler urged the board to endorse a request for the Parks and Recreation and the economic development director to study the feasibility of developing a program for the reuse of the building. Such reuse also might include adding it to the Enterprise Zone, adding a community kitchen, and using portions of the building for community gatherings. The board voted unanimously to direct the group to proceed with the study. At the end of the meeting, those in attendance were offered an opportunity to address the board. Bill Parr spoke on the need for the board to seek additional sources of revenue rather than just struggling with where to make cuts from budget requests each year. Commercial development would increase the county’s tax base, Parr said. Machipongo resident Pat Coady pressed Duer about statements regarding the need to look out for the Town of Exmore first, before the county, noting a possible conflict of interest. (Duer is the town manager for Exmore). He urged the board to make decisions in the best interest of all of the citizens of the county, not just what would be best for one town or one group of lobbying citizens, regardless of who they are.

Cree also waved an anonymous letter that had been distributed outside the hearing doors that claimed the 2015 plan would allow “developers drive our poor people” from the county. “This is fear mongering in the worst way,” said Cree, drawing huge applause from the crowd. Mark Baumgartner, an attorney, said Royal Farms has been planning $3 million in construction for a store thats would employ 75 people. He said a repeal of the 2015 zoning plan would “significantly discourage developers from putting money into the county.” Steve Sturgis, a local farmer, said board Chairman Spencer Murray had recently commented he felt the 2015 plan had “been rammed down our throats.” Sturgis noted the 2015 plan was three years in the making and adopted after numerous meetings and much public discourse, adding the proposed plan was (Continued From Front Page) three months in the making with little input from the public. “This is what I call ramming something down someone’s throat,” said Sturgis. In their first meeting in January, newly elected Supervisors Murray and Robert Duer aligned with Supervisor Granville Hogg to rescind the zoning ordinance passed the previous month with two lame-duck supervisors voting in favor of the 2015 plan. The proposed 2016 zoning ordinance includes not only the 2009 ordinance but also the ordinances that date back 15 years. For intensive farming practices, which include chicken houses, the 2016 plan stipulates 1,000-foot setbacks from public road compared to 300 feet for the 2015 plan. Proposed setbacks from property lines for the 2016 plan are 1,000 feet compared to 500 feet for the 2015 plan. Proponents of the 2016 plan said the voters spoke at the polling booth when electing two supervisors who supported rescinding the 2015 plan, which several speakers stated was not in line with the county’s Comprehensive Plan. Peg Volk, whose comments were read into the public hearing, said overturning the 2015 plan would “move Northampton County on a sustained, viable road of managed growth and protect our aquaculture, agriculture and tourism industries along with our rural way of life.” Mary Miller supported the repeal of the 2015 plan “hastily developed by a lame duck board.” Robert Myers said zoning is not the fundamental problem with the county’s economy. “We need to focus on education and creating a skilled workforce.” Bowdoin Lusk, whose comments were read into the record, said he favors repealing the 2015 zoning ordinance, noting, “During the period that the 2009 plan has been in place, the county has seen exceptional growth in aquaculture and tourism industries. I fear that the 2015 ordinance has the potential to harm both of those burgeoning industries.” The Planning Commission had 43 days to review the proposed 2016 plan, a period which began Feb. 2, and faces a March 16 deadline for providing a recommendation to the board of supervisors. Sheriff Warns About Telephone Scams Accomack Sheriff Todd Godwin is warning local citizens about scams that have resulted in the loss of thousands of dollars for some victims. “Although many of these scams are not new, as technology advances, so do the methods of conducting the scams,” he said. “Most recently, phone calls have been received from individuals portraying themselves as law-enforcement officers. The caller will give one of many different scenarios, such as a particular family member of the intended victim is in jail and needs money to bond out, or the family member has been in an accident and needs money for a rental vehicle.” Godwin said the citizen is instructed to place money on a loadable credit card and then provide certain information, resulting in the victim losing the money. Citizens are “strongly encouraged not to send money to anyone” they do not know. SHORE CREATIONS 3446 Lankford Hwy.

First, the 71-year-old Kryscnski has been a Yankee fan since she was 6 and her father took her to see the Norfolk Tars, a Yankee farm team. She recalls Yogi Berra played for the Tars. Secondly, she has a long connection to the Shore. Her ancestors on the Shore trace back to the 1600s when the Boston family arrived on the scene. Many of her ancestors, including her mother, Ruth Byrd Freedman, are buried at Bethel Baptist Church in Bloxom and a nearby cemetery in Parksley. Her grandparents on her father’s side ran the Freedman Store in Exmore for many years. Her father, David Freedman, had his appendix removed at the former Northampton-Accomack Memorial Hospital, a short distance from Tyler Webb’s childhood home. “We have followed Tyler since we first met him at Tampa in his first year of pro baseball. When I saw he was from Nassawadox, I just had to meet him,” said Kryscnski earlier this week. She and her husband Ed see every home spring training game at the Yankee complex in Tampa, making the 30-minute ride from their winter home in Dunedin, Fla. They greeted Tyler on the day he arrived with other pitchers and catchers on the opening day of spring training. Her husband, an amateur photographer, took the photo accompanying this column. He has sent this photo and others to Tyler’s parents, Kirk and Kristen Webb. Myra and Ed also had a chance to visit Tyler in 2014 when he had a brief stint at the Yankee Double A team in Trenton, N.J., where they attend about a dozen games a year. Webb played on three teams that season as he started at Single A Tampa and ended the year in Triple A Scranton, Pa. “Tyler is a very polite, humble young man,” said Myra. “He has always been very approachable and accommodating. I know his parents would be proud of him even if he never played baseball.” The Shore connection doesn’t stop there, however. At a spring training game last season, Myra overheard a fan sitting a few rows behind her cheering rather vociferously for Webb. She asked him if he knew Tyler. The man replied he knew him well, hav- ing watched since he was a t-baller at Randy Custis Memorial Park in Nassawadox. The man was Phil Custis, father of the park’s namesake and founder of the park with his late wife, Barbara. They started the park in 1987; their 9-year-old son was killed in 1978 by a drunk driver. Randy loved baseball and had played one season in Little League prior to his fatal accident. Myra heard Phil’s story and decided she wanted to help. She had David Cone sign a baseball and inscribe the date of his legendary perfect game on July 18, 1999, on Yogi Berra Day. She bought a wooden frame to hold the ball and donated it to the Randy Custis benefit held recently. The ball brought $240 at a silent auction earlier this month. She is working on another donation for next year’s auction. “I think what Phil is doing for the Shore is great for the youth, and I am happy to help anyway I can,” she said. Webb, a 2009 graduate of Northampton High School who was a third-team All-American at the University of South Carolina and the school’s all-time appearance leader, is vying to make the New York Yankee team this season. A non-roster invitee to spring training, Webb pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning against the Phillies on Sunday. He had allowed a run in an inning of work in a previous outing. A 6'6" southpaw, Webb likely would have seen his first major league action last season when the call-ups came in September if he had not injured a finger on his throwing hand, ending his season in late June. Up to that point, he had compiled a sparkling 2.84 earned run average. Of course, the talent-rich Yankees with deep resources are loaded with relievers, signing closer Andrew Miller last year and this year adding Aroldis Chapman. Along with Dellin Betances, New York has the three top relievers in terms of strikeouts per inning from 2015. Only three relievers in the major leagues struck out more than 100 batters last season. They now all pitch for the Yankees. Webb’s forte is control with a good change-up and a slider he has been developing since he arrived in pro ball. He also has a low to mid-90s fastball that looks faster because of his change-up. Webb has averaged 1.3 strikeouts per inning in his pro career. His parents made the eight-hour trip to Columbia, S.C., to see him pitch almost every home weekend for four years during his college career. They also made the trip to Omaha, Neb., three straight years for the College World Series, staying as long as two weeks when the Gamecocks reached the final game all three seasons. Kirk and Kristin Webb were in Tampa last week to see Tyler pitch, returning home Sunday. It would have been more karma if they had run into the Kyrscnskis, but, alas, they didn’t, much to Myra’s chagrin. “Tell the Webbs we sit in Section 205, Row J, seats 13 and 14,” she urged. “We’re the ones cheering for Tyler.” Nassawadox native Tyler Webb is a non-roster invitee to the New York Yankee spring training camp this season. Ed and Myra Kryscnski have followed the 2009 Northampton graduate since he played for the Single A Tampa farm team. This is one of the numerous photos Ed Kryscnski has taken of Webb during his career.

Also returning for the Warriors will be Jake Guy and Derek Bjorlo, who saw limited duty last year due to injuries and other issues. The senior duo has started in the infield since their freshman season and have also pitched. Brandon Brewster racked up numerous innings on the mound last year in their absence and will bolster the staff. Seniors Hickman Hunter and Evan McGregor will be key offensive threats. Arcadia has Tah’re Pettit and Dom Siemienksi on the mound, with Dalton McDaniel and Jeremy Steihl providing additional support. Jaquan Wharton, Terrell Wharton, Aronte Dickerson and Logan Godwin should contribute. Northampton, winless last season, will look to break into the win column with another young group of players.

March 11, 2016 • Eastern Shore Post • 21 Anglers Anxiously Waiting for Fish To Show Anglers’ Club Holds Banquet The Eastern Shore of Virginia Anglers’ Club (www.esanglersclub.org) held its Annual Banquet on Saturday, March 5, at Eastern Shore Yacht and Country Club in Melfa. During the festivities, adults and youngsters were recognized for their accomplishments during the 2015 fishing season. Among the youth winners were (from left): Isabelle Abell, Female Junior Angler of the Year; Ethan Abell, release awardee; Shawn Eyler, Co-Male Junior Angler of the Year; Sammy Abell, release awardee; Stuart Eyler, Co-Male Junior Angler of the Year; and Ethan Willett, Overall Male Angler of the Year. With temperatures in the 70s this week, anglers are sorting through their tackle, hoping for an early flounder on the seaside. Freshwater anglers also are looking forward to landing some lunkers with the warming temps. Here is Julie Ball’s fishing report detailing the anglers’ frustration over a long, cold winter. “Anglers are facing slim fishing prospects right now. With seasonal closures, less that optimal availability of fishing opportunities, and even more fisheries management regulations up for consideration, folks are becoming disheartened. Hopes are high that the spring fishing season will bring better days. With a limited selection of species to target inshore, most anglers will head to offshore wrecks in search of tautog during weather windows. Most boats are targeting mid-range wrecks, such as the Triangle Wreck area. Some decent fish weighing to over 20 pounds were boated from these areas lately. Be prepared to weed through tons of big seabass to obtain your limit of three tog per person at 16 inches, but be sure to release the seabass since they are out of season. With tog bait hard to come by, plan ahead to secure your bait. Clams, mussels, blue crabs, peelers, hermit crabs, green crabs, Jonah crabs, or stone crabs will work. Schools of big rockfish continue to roam 15 to 20 miles off the coast, well out of reach of boats. As these fish begin to head back into the bay to spawn, anglers may intercept them for catchand-release activity in the bay for now, but most folks will not be interested. With the poor speckled trout showing this winter, most folks are not trying anymore.” If you would like your ad to run in the Post’s Sports Section, call 789-7678 22 • Eastern Shore Post • March 11, 2016 T A B L E Gargathy Neck Folly Creek H 10:30 a.m. H 11:19 a.m. L 4:30 p.m. L 5:20 p.m. Seaside Chinco.

It is also giant, necessary and just the thing a man needs to stay out of trouble. Oh yippee, it’s my new closet. OK, so my storage spot may not be a big secret anymore since I’m announcing it. The space itself is not underground either although that is a great synonym for the word. However, it will be private, huge at nine-feet-long and very much needed (for clothes and all my other junk). Did you know a closet is also another name for the toilet? Just to set the record straight, there will be no commode in this wardrobe. I will not be closeted with the throne. By the way, did you know that a “closet drama” is not about someone getting all theatrical about their latest rant? Instead it is a play that is read instead of acted. FYI. One also can be closeted or shut away. Like when a jury is sequestered. I guess that means I can hide in my closet if I don’t feel like talking. But I won’t because I’m not much for isolation and I love to gab. What started all this? Well, months ago, I locked myself out of the house (I was closeted in the wild blue yonder) and had to break a window to get in. I picked the pane that needed to be repaired and my friend Sally and I threw part of a cinder block at it several times. The whole thing was very liberating. That is, until I needed to find someone to fix it. I tried to pay a couple of people and couldn’t get a taker. Unfor- tunately, that can sometimes be life on the Eastern Shore. So for many, many months my window remained boarded up. I was kind of apathetic about it. It was in the utility room and I actually almost forgot about it. But then the trees lost their leaves and when I came and went it would catch my eye. Then I met Doug. He is now my very handy boyfriend. Another yippee! I’ve never really announced this to the world in a column, so I guess I need to say that I got a divorce quite some time back. And without boring everyone with the sad details of the end of my 25-year commitment, I needed to get on with my life. Anyway, Doug is the man. And he recently closed in the window so he could build a closet for me that will be the entire length of the wall. It’s going to be awesome. But before he gets that project underway, he is making a giant vacuum/broom closet at the end of a hallway. Oh the luxury of it all. I am a lucky, lucky girl. He has made the door opening and is mudding the drywall CAPITAL LETTERS By Del. Rob Bloxom e have entered the final week of the 2016 session with the hope to finish a few days early. The last bills are being voted on by the respective body and if either house makes even the slightest change in a bill, even adding a comma, then it must go back to the other body for its approval of the change. If we agree with the change, then the bill goes on to the governor. If we do not agree with the change, then three delegates and three senators are assigned to the bill to hash out differences. This process is named conferencing and it is where the real bargaining agreements occur. One must remember in the backdrop, the budgets are also in conference between the House and Senate. This is the area where bills are “taken hostage” to get what you want. The budget is the main focus of leadership from each chamber as they negotiate the funding of the next two years’ services the government provides. It is also the most boring time of the session if you W are not a budget conferee as each chamber goes into session and back into recess at regular intervals. Much time is spent waiting on the other chamber to respond to action you have taken. As I have reported, as disjointed as this system appears, it works well. I hesitate to crow about achievements because much can change and nothing is truly settled until the governor signs the legislation. The governor has signed the “grand gun deal.” This deal took away the attorney general’s authority to review reciprocal concealed carry permits with other states and made them automatically reciprocal. If a state has a concealed carry permit, then we will automatically honor it if that state honors ours. Another part of the agreement is a voluntary background check by the State Police at gun shows. The State Police will be required to be present at a public gun show in order to do voluntary background checks. The last part of this deal is the requirement to relinquish one’s personal firearms if a permanent protective order is issued for violent domestic violence. I value the feedback you provide on a continual basis as it helps me do a better job of representing you. You can email me at [email protected] or call me at 804-698-1000. as I write. It is a glorious three-feet by 24-inches and all mine. I stepped inside and I think it will also be a great place to hide in case of a tornado. Did I mention it will have three deep shelves? Life is good. My clothes closet is going to have two big wide doors that open at the middle. I am hoping that each will be 36-inches across. Oh! Oh! Maybe I will be able to find my stuff. I wonder how long it will take him to do this. We have been seeing each other for seven months and the smaller closet just got underway. Another year or two? Hmmm. I think I better find that green dress I’ve been searching for before that. Sally’s son is getting married in a week and I want to wear it. I’ve been looking for it for about a month. It’s a closet dilemma. I think I just coined a new phrase. Maybe this Irish/Italian girl will find a four-leaf clover next. Have a great St. Patrick’s Day. Don’t forget about the Onancock Parade.
