Circulation 13,000 Free October 24, 2014 What Does It Take To Break the Cycle? By Linda Cicoira “Our jobs extended past the walls of the school and past our contract hours,” Shaun O’Shea said of the staff he oversaw until recently at Metompkin Elementary School. After failing accreditation tests, the school was listed as a priority by state and federal regulations. And O’Shea was removed from his post (as required by federal rules) and given a new job overseeing middle schools. So over at Metompkin Elementary, morale isn’t what it used to be. “Now they think it’s their ineffectiveness,” he said. “That’s just not the case … to expect drastic changes in two years is unrealistic.” O’Shea said while Standards of Learning scores were not considered high enough, figures for those reading below their age level dropped significantly. Three years (Continued on Page 13) Courtroom Drama Includes Flying Shoes Tricks, Treats & Curfews Are All Part of the Halloween Tradition on the Eastern Shore Exmore, Chincoteague, Parksley, Nassawadox, Cape Charles, Melfa and Cheriton are making plans for Halloween.

Photo by Linda Cicoira By Linda Cicoira It was courtroom drama at its finest with words being flung, fists being thrown, high heels flying through the air and reporters and other spectators and witnesses ducking for cover and moving out of the way. The two forces had been separated like families at a wedding. The defendant’s kin were on one side and the victim’s were on the other. Nine Northampton deputies, Exmore police officers and Sheriff David Doughty were on hand to watch for trouble in Northampton Circuit Court Monday and they got exactly that. “No matter what the verdict was going to be, we knew one side was not going to be happy,” Doughty said later. “Everybody did a great job in law enforcement … to defuse the situation … it’s something at this point we fairly have under control.” (Continued on Page 12) 2 • Eastern Shore Post • October 24, 2014 Indictments Alleging Sex With Children Brought Against Onancock Man By Linda Cicoira An Onancock businessman and his former wife were indicted by a Somerset County, Md. grand jury last week on counts ranging from rape to child abuse and conspiracy. They are accused of the crimes in connection with offenses that allegedly occurred between 1981 and 1986 and involved young female relatives. Khalil Mohammad Muslimani, 67, of Robbins Lane in Onancock was indicted on four felony counts and three misdemeanor charges, which involved one of his stepdaughters and another unidentified girl. Muslimani was charged with second-degree rape, a second-degree sex offense, a third-degree sex offense and two counts of child abuse by a person in a custodial position. Those felony charges allegedly occurred between Jan. 1, 1981 and Nov. 30, 1986. The defendant is accused of committing the misdemeanors during the same time frame. Those indictments allege that he conspired to commit rape, another sex crime and child not yet been served with the docuabuse. He was convicted in Accomack ments.

She eventually had four of his children. She said her mother fled with one of her own children when Spione was a young teenager. “I remember when I was 13, he asked me if I would marry him,” the woman continued. “I said, ‘No! This is not going to be my future’ or something like that. I was afraid.” She also accused him of putting a wrong age for her on a marriage license and that she didn’t realize until recently that she was somehow married to Muslimani. Her mother was previously known as Ruth Ann Taylor Muslimani, she said, adding that the woman knew about the abuse and did nothing to stop it. Muslimani was released on bond from Somerset Detention Center in September. It was unclear at presstime if he was arrested again after being indicted.

Closed 4 • Eastern Shore Post • October 24, 2014 Court Postings By Linda Cicoira Accomack Circuit Court Larrie Linwood Taylor was back in Accomack Circuit Court last week for a DUI that occurred in 2013. He got five years for that offense and was fined $2,500. Taylor is the Painter man who spent nearly a decade in prison for driving drunk and causing the death of an offduty state trooper and his nine-yearold son in 2003. He was living on Boggs Road on Aug. 11, 2013 when his vehicle struck a pole not far from his house in the more recent incident. Taylor has been in jail ever since. He will be on supervised probation after being released from prison. Records show the retired truck driver’s blood alcohol content in the 2003 incident was 0.21 percent by weight by volume. A certificate of analysis showed that Taylor’s blood alcohol content was 0.19 percent in the 2013 crash. The legal limit is .08 percent. “This subject is a danger to other citizens as he continues to drink and drive,” the court record stated. The defendant testified at an earlier proceeding that he had been drinking all day at a friend’s house across the street and woke up in the wrecked pick-up truck. Taylor said he saw two guys walking down the street and surmised that they too had been in the truck. The vehicle had a bench seat and Taylor was found in the middle, according to testimony. An accident report states Taylor was driving on Boggs Road at about 10 p.m. Aug. 11, 2013 when the vehicle “ran off the left side of the road and struck a pole” about two-tenths of a miles west of Route 620. In 2003, Trooper Anthony Daryl Campbell, 35, of Exmore died from head and chest trauma, according to an autopsy. His son, Andrew Tyler Campbell died of head injuries. Leigh Campbell, the wife and mother, was critically injured. Taylor’s criminal record also includes 15 traffic charges and convic- tions for malicious wounding, burglary, robbery and grand larceny, In another case, Lynise Onay Mears, 31, of Stone House Road in Onley pleaded guilty to assault and battery of Deputy David Gladding last week. The offense occurred July 14, 2013. The record states that Mears spit on the officer when she was being taken to jail. A presentence report was ordered and Mears was remanded to jail. She also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor destruction of property. ……………………………………… A Northampton man pleaded guilty Tuesday in Accomack Circuit Court to a 2011 sex offense involving a 5th grade Parksley area girl. Victor (Pork Chop) McKinley Garrison, 50, of Shady Lane in Birdsnest could face up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000, according to Judge W. Revell Lewis. The charge was sexually abusing a child younger than 13 years old between Nov. 1 and Dec. 31, 2011. It occurred at the Horntown Trailer Park. No evidence was offered from the defense. Lewis ordered a presentence report and a psychosexual evaluation. He tentatively set sentencing for February 2015 and remanded Garrison to jail. Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Matthew Brenner said in the 2011 incident the girl was sick and stayed at her godmother’s house instead of going to school. She was asleep and awakened to Garrison humping and groping her. Both were fully clothed. “If I told anybody he said he would kill my mother,” Brenner said the girl informed him. In 1990, Garrison was convicted of unlawful sexual contact with a minor in Delaware. He served a year in jail for that offense. The defendant has also failed to register as a sex offender. Northampton District Court Three men were arrested recently in Northampton on felony drug offenses, according to records filed in the county’s general district court this week. Michael Antonio Stephenson, 23, of Murfreesboro, N.C. was charged with possession of a firearm while in possession of drugs in connection with an incident that allegedly occurred Aug. 19, 2014. He was arrested on Oct. 14. A December preliminary hearing was scheduled. Mateo Peixinho, 49, of Chimayo, N.M. was charged with transporting drugs into Virginia and possession of more than five pounds of marijuana with intent to distribute on Oct. 9, 2014. He was arrested Oct. 10. Tony Barnum, 40, of Tucson, Ariz. is accused of a second or subsequent count of possession with intent to distribute more than five pounds of marijuana in connection with an alleged Oct. 9 incident. He was arrested the next day. A charged of receiving stolen property filed against Michael Edward Wesch, 33, of Willis Wharf will not be prosecuted, the court record stated. The offense allegedly occurred in September 2013. Wayne Allan Hodgson II, 26, of Huston Avenue in Exmore was convicted last week of misdemeanor assault and battery in connection with an incident that happened on Aug. 20. He was initially charged with the felony, malicious wounding with “intent to maim, disable or kill.” Hodgson was given a 12-month suspended sentence and fined $250. According to the record, the defendant “punched (a) friend after catching him in an act with his girlfriend.” Upon release, he will be on probation for 12 months. Costs were $531. Northampton Circuit Court Two people were convicted in Northampton Circuit Court Monday. Markius Lovnell Weeks, 35, of Machipongo was found guilty of stealing a credit card, credit card fraud and petty larceny that occurred on March 19 and 20, 2014. Jillian Blair Floyd, 30, of Machipongo was convicted of a third or subsequent offense of larceny. Both cases were continued until presentence reports could be completed.

Town Planner Rob Testerman said input provided by town residents showed they were evenly split on the issue. The concept of homeowners raising a limited number of chickens in order to provide fresh eggs has been raised in a number of communities throughout Hampton Roads, with some areas allowing it and others prohibiting it. Cape Charles folks who supported the ordinance wanted the eggs, companionship of the birds as pets, a sense of being in a rural setting and even having a source of home grown fertilizer. Opponents were concerned about noise, odor, disease, an introduction of predators to the neighborhood and declining property values. In at least one area of Northampton “free range chickens” or those that are not kept in pens, were placed on the menus of local coyotes. While chickens were the only animals being discussed for the proposed ordnance, the possibility of having other types of livestock was broached. After council discussed it, Members Joan Natali, Chris Bannon, Steve Bennett and Frank Wendell axed the proposal. Mayor George Proto read a proclamation praising the value Friends of the Cape Charles Memorial Library to the community. The group was formed in 2003 and since then has offered support through sponsoring, promoting and funding the library. During the public comment session, VeAnn Duvall urged the panel to rebuild a basketball court in town. She said a facility near the former Cape Charles School was used by local youth. The basketball goals were removed after the school was sold two years ago. Duvall stated that the town’s Comprehensive Plan calls for providing rec- PERSONAL PROPERTY AUCTION Saturday, October 25, 2014 @ 10:00 A.M. Rain Date: Sunday, October 26, 2014 @ 12:00 P.M.

The council also wants to provide additional parking in the town’s commercial district and agreed to have the planning commission’s study taking down a pecan tree that might create a liability for undeveloped lots behind the former Bank of America building on Mason Avenue. The board members discussed the upcoming dredging project at the town harbor, which calls for sand from the project to be placed at the beach to help fight erosion. Due to the replenishment process, the plan to install swim area buoys at the beach has been placed on hold. The buoys were approved as a way to help prevent boats and personnel watercraft like jet skis from running up on the beach, a safety risk to those swimming or sunbathing nearby. Proto asked Councilman Sambo Brown, the town’s former police chief, how many people had drowned. Brown recalled two that had occurred within the past 15 years. If the dredging and beach replenishment stay on schedule, beach buoys could be installed by next spring.

October 24, 2014 • Eastern Shore Post • 9 NASA Mission Update Following an inspection of the tracking station in Bermuda used for Antares launches after Hurricane Gonzalo, Orbital and NASA together established Oct. 27 as the launch date for the upcoming Orb-3 Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission will originate from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility. Lift-off of the Antares rocket is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. (EDT), with rendezvous and berthing with the ISS early in the morning on Nov. 2. Taking advantage of Cygnus’ operational capabilities, Orbital is launching the Orb-3 mission to orbit several days earlier than necessary to preserve schedule flexibility and time its arrival at the station to conform to other visiting vehicle operations. The Cygnus spacecraft is fully fueled and loaded with most of its cargo bound for the ISS and has been mated with the Antares rocket that will launch it into low-Earth orbit. The remaining time sensitive “final load” cargo will be placed onboard prior to fairing encapsulation. On Friday, Oct. 24, the Antares rocket will be rolled out from the Horizontal Integration Facility to the MARS launch pad 0A located about a mile away.

He later went to the edge of town and waited for the opposition to drive by so he could throw a brick at their car, Doughty said. Judge W. Revell Lewis found Elijah Jordan Carpenter, 20, of Birdsnest guilty of aggravated malicious wounding involving a baseball bat beating in Exmore. When Lewis made the announcement, Carpenter’s brother Jermie Carpenter, 19, also of Birdsnest started yelling and a fight ensued. The defendant claimed he was acting in self-defense when he went committed the crime and his family evidentially thought he would be acquitted, Doughty said. After the courtroom incident Jermie Carpenter was charged with obstruction of justice, resisting arrest and felony assault and battery of Chief Angelo DiMartino of Exmore Police Department (EPD). Another brother, Kadeem Carpenter, 18, of Birdsnest was charged with felony throwing a missile (the brick) at an occupied vehicle. Doughty said four or five people were in the car. No one was injured but the vehicle was damaged. The defendant’s sister, Caitlyn Rowley, 23, also of Birdnest is accused of kicking a police cruiser and causing about $1,500 in damages. The car belonged to Sgt. Jason Campbell of EPD, who was one of the key witnesses in the case. No one from the other side was arrested. Those who were are being held in the Eastern Shore Regional Jail without bond. Bond hearings were being held at press time Thursday for Kadeem Carpenter and Rowley in Accomack General District Court. Doughty said other charges are pending. After the courtroom was cleared it was realized that the judge hadn’t finished talking to the defendant. He was brought back in and advised that he had the right to appeal the decision. A presentence report was ordered.

In his first year as principal that dropped to 23 percent and last year it was at 11 percent. “Short term fixes or long term fixes? We decided to fix long term,” he concluded. In late August, just before the 2014-15 school year began, O’Shea and 50 teachers rode a hot school bus down the windy back roads of the district on a mission to distribute books to some of the poorest students in the area. “It’s a small drop in the bucket to break the cycle,” O’Shea said. “About 12,000 books were given to second graders in the last two years. Each got 50 books. If we could get books in the hands of the children, they could have a library. They would read these books.” Smart budgeting and successful fundraisers made it happen. The bus run was a feel-good assignment that allowed the instructors to put themselves in the student’s shoes. And it was recorded in part by Imagine Learning, a company that has been partnering with the school make improvements in the student’s lives and the way they learn. The touching film is available for viewing at “We have kids who don’t have running water. They use outhouses.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDN9dEvdpLE “Staff members who aren’t from the Shore, don’t understand the challenges,” said O’Shea. “We have kids who don’t have running water. They use outhouses.” There is substance abuse and sexual abuse in their homes, he said. And many of the students do not speak English. “We have pockets of extreme wealth. We have million dollar homes located on the water,” the administrator said. “And then within close proximity, we have extreme poverty. It’s very diverse in terms of how (these) people make ends meet.” “A lot of our kids have challenges that we don’t experience in our own lives,” O’Shea continued. “It’s not an excuse. But it certainly allows us to have some empathy, some understanding that when they show up to our doors, there may have been something else going on before they got to us.” “We don’t have air-conditioning on all of our buses,” he said in the video. “So if you sit on the bus for an hour, that’s uncomfortable. That affects the mood of a kid. It would make me mad.” “Our students are expected to perform the exact same way … as those in Arlington or Richmond in any of those wealthy neighborhoods, parents with formal educations or college educations, master’s degrees, professional jobs,” he continued. “The standard is that we should all be performing at the same level. But reality is certainly not that.” And there are the children of migrant laborers who leave when the farming season is done and re- “We have pockets of extreme wealth.

He would. Those teachers would.

One additional feature, a hold over from when the building served as a scout meeting hall, is a beautiful fireplace. The public is urged to stop by and take a walk through the newly repurposed building. Council discussed the recent boundary adjustment approval made by the Northampton Board of Supervisors. Councilman Wesley Travis noted council has sought to grow the town for nearly 15 years but until recently, had met with opposition from the county’s leadership. Supervisors agreed at their Oct. 14 session to add property to the east of town that once housed foodprocessing facilities operated by G. L. Webster. New owners have not indicated what they will do with the site. Councilman Greg Hardesty gave an update about the Public Service Authority’s (PSA) efforts to provide sewer lines for commercial interests along Route 13 on the west side of Cheriton. Hardesty said the current plan, if adopted by the PSA and approved by the Board of Supervisors, would run the pipeline along Route 13 from just south of the Cheriton traffic light to an area south on the Food Lion shopping center. While the purpose of the wastewater pipeline would be to provide commercial opportunities for new or existing businesses in the area, it will likely mean that every property owner in the county would need to pay for the project. Hardesty stated, as proposed, those who buy into the project would pay a tax surcharge of 75/25 percent based on a separate tax rate. The 25 percent Hospice and Palliative Care of The Eastern Shore 30% OFF (entire purchase with this coupon) Redeemable at all Three Hospice Thrift Stores 165 Market Street, Onancock, VA 3306 Lankford Highway, Exmore, VA 6516 Lankford Highway, Oak Hall, VA October 1 thru October 31 portion of the fee will fall to all of the county’s property owners. As an example, Hardesty said a typical commercial property valued at $250,000 could see an extra $2,400 added to his or her property tax bill while all other property owners in the county would see their tax bills also go up. In addition, any business that chose to connect to the wastewater line would incur the additional cost of one-time hook up and equipment fees, which could run into several hundred dollars and a monthly wastewater bill that would be based on the company’s usage. Still to be decided, is where the wastewater would be pumped. If an agreement is reached with Cape Charles, it could be sent to that town’s wastewater facility. Hardesty noted while the end result of the wastewater project could bring additional businesses and economic development to the county at some point down the road, there was no way to know if the “Build it and they will come” concept would pan out. The council suggested the public should become informed about the issue to so they are fully aware of the pros and cons and most importantly what it will cost them. Some members of the Board of Supervisors also suggested a tax increase to help fund a new high school.

That certainly has been true in the baseball playoffs this year. The Yankees, the team I have followed ever since I came to the game as a young boy, were on the sidelines watching this season. Although their starting rotation was depleted by injuries, it was the Yankees’ failure to produce on offense that left them in the wake of the Baltimore Orioles, who won the American League East with 96 wins. I have been slowly shifting my allegiance to the Birds in recent years, owing to my son’s lifelong passion for Baltimore baseball and my disdain for the way the Yankees have handled some situations. I had made a promise some years ago that when Derek Jeter retired, and especially if Alex Rodriquez returns next year, I would adopt the Orioles as my team. My only caveat to that change is if the Shore’s Tyler Webb is in pinstripes next season. For these playoffs, my son and I had tickets for game five of the American League Division Series with the Detroit Tigers with another father-son combination, Steve and Brian Warren. Steve and I were fraternity brothers at the University of Richmond, and Brian and my son Parke were not only fraternity brothers, but also roommates at Randolph-Macon College. As those of you who follow baseball know, there was no game five in that series. Baltimore swept Detroit in three games, beating the past three Cy Young winners in successive games. Our disappointment at not getting to see the Orioles in person was muted by the fact that the Birds were advancing. SPORTS ‘That’s Why They Play the Games’ I would never have imagined Baltimore would have swept through the buzz saw of stellar pitchers the Tigers were sending to the mound with Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander and David Price. There was a good chance Verlander, a Goochland and Old Dominion product, would be pitching the game we would be attending. I had visions of bumping into his girlfriend, who had attended game two in Baltimore when Verlander was on the mound. That would be none other than Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton. We also won a lottery for the chance to buy tickets for the American League Championship Series with the Kansas City Royals. Due to our schedules, Parke and I could not make the first two games of the series in Baltimore and had to look at games six and seven. My fear here was that the series would not get back to Baltimore for those games because the red-hot Birds would close it out before games six and seven were necessary. Well, you now know it was the Birds who were swept in four games by the Royals, who had a shut-down bullpen that essentially cut the games to six-inning affairs. The Birds returned to Baltimore, though not to play any more baseball for this season. But give Buck Showalter credit for the way he handled the loss. A former Yankee manager, Showalter’s demeanor and class and the way he handles his team are reasons it is easy to like the Birds. Very little was going according to script in these baseball playoffs. The Royals were down four runs in the eighth inning of a one-game wild card playoff to Oakland and its ace, Jon Lester, before stealing the game on the basepaths to advance. They also trailed in the 11th inning of that game before rallying for an improbable win in 12 innings. Los Angeles saw its ace, Clayton Kershaw, as much as a lock to win as there is in baseball, get shelled twice to lose to the Cardinals. The Washington Nationals, who had won more games than any team in baseball, were closed out in four games, including an 18-inning marathon that I watched until midnight, thinking it would end on the next pitch. Kansas City had swept the winningest team in the American League, the Los Angeles Angels, taking two with 11th-inning home runs, something the Royals seldom do. In fact, six of 26 playoff games up until the World Series, which started Tuesday night, went to extra innings, with 15 decided by one run, five by two runs and three by just three runs. Now, as I write this, I am in Charleston, S.C., taking a brief sabbatical from sports and enjoying some of the environs of my favorite author, Pat Conroy. And, frankly, I have little interest in the outcome of the World Series being played this week. But, if it goes according to this year’s script, the games will be close and pretty much unpredictable.

Major now has 1,235 yards rushing this season, averaging over 11 yards an attempt while scoring 20 touchdowns. Major put Broadwater on the scoreboard with a 53-yard run with 8:41 remaining in the first quarter, then almost had a second TD after the Vikings’ Will Sexauer recovered a fumble on Northampton’s first offensive play. Major was ruled down at the 1-yard line as he stretched the ball across the goal line on a 20-yard run. The Jackets recovered a fumble in the end zone on the following play. Major did add two touchdowns in the second quarter on runs of 7 and 15 yards to give Broadwater a 20-0 lead with 4:31 remaining in the half. Northampton then engineered its best drive of the night, using all of its timeouts and then getting the snap off with one second on the clock with Dyshawn Beckett scoring on a four-yard run to cut the Viking lead to 20-6. However, what momentum the Jackets gained was wiped out when Taylor Major returned the second-half kickoff 78 yards for a touchdown. After stopping the Jackets on their next drive, Viking quarterback Austin Murphy hit R.C. Cooley with an overthe-shoulder pass for 37 yards and a touchdown to give Broadwater a commanding 43-6 lead. Beckett responded with an electrifying 60-yard run during which he changed directions several times while breaking tackles before being stopped at the 1-yard line, where he scored on the next play and then added a 2-point conversion. Broadwater added two more scores on a Tyler Major 21-yard touchdown run and then a 50-yard pass from Murphy to Taylor Major. Thomas Scott converted five of his six extra-point attempts. Murphy was 10 of 18 passing for 146 yards, with Major Morgan catching three for 36 yards. Jordan Long and Kelly Reagan had 14 tackles each, with Dontae Weatherly adding 12 tackles and a fumble recovery. Cortland Bunce had nine tackles. Beckett ran for 146 yards on 17 carries for Northampton, operating primarily from the quarterback position. Hakeem Berry had 70 yards on 13 carries. Daniel Jean had 29 yards on three carries. Northampton coach Ty Traister said Beckett showed a lot of heart in leading the Jackets while never giving up. “Broadwater just played the more complete game and capitalized on our mistakes,” said Traister. Defensively, Jovoski Williams had five solo tackles while Jean had an interception for Northampton. Current Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association rankings have Broadwater fourth in Division 4. The top four teams qualify for the state playoffs; home games are played at the site of the top two teams.

Parker took the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown before the crowd had a chance to settle in their seats. But then the Colonels’ Eric Joseph took the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown to tie the score 6-6 Colonel Richardson took a 12-6 lead by scoring following a Nandua fumble. Nandua responded with Blake capping a drive on a five-yard touchdown run. Nandua struck for two quick scores with only a minute remaining in the half on a 10-yard run by Parker and then Trevon Cooper’s recovery of a fumble which he took 50 yards to the end zone. It was the second week in a row Cooper had scored on a fumble recovery. In the third quarter, Blake intercepted a Colonel Richardson pass and returned it for a touchdown. Parker added 90 yards rushing on 12 attempts. The versatile Warrior rushing attack also saw Wessells run for 56 yards on only three attempts and Anthony Smith produce another 52 yards rushing. Smith also had 46 yards receiving on two catches, while Mahagee Wise had 27 yards on three catches. Defensively, Wessells and Trevon Pitt led the Warriors with eight tackles, while Wise, Blake and Nick Joseph each had seven tackles. Pitt, Wise and Blake each had a sack.

Colonel Richardson added two late touchdowns to make the final 46-26 score closer than the game actually was. Blake had 99 yards rushing and added 88 yards passing while completing 7 of 11 attempts. Northampton finished third at the Norfolk Christian Cross Country Invitational last Thursday, and Nandua’s Evan Lawrence was the top Shore runner with an eighth-place finish in 19:05.59. The Jackets were led by Noah Leffel with a 20th-place finish in 20:14.34 and James Teeling in 21st in 20:26.07. José Palacia, 23rd, 20:37.04; Billy Martinez, 25th, 20:41.56; and Marvyn Garvis, 29th, 21:13.32, filled out the top five for Northampton. “I was delighted with the results,” said Jacket coach Rich Wilfong. “These were some high-powered teams we were competing against.” Peninsula Catholic won the meet with the minimum 15 points, followed by Bishop Sullivan with 77 and Northampton with 81. For Nandua, Matthew Teasley finished 33rd in 21:36.50, and Jack Schreiber was 44th in 23:00.20. Among the girls, Ellie Harvie had the top local finish with a 28th place in 26:30.17.

They are looking ahead to tonight’s opponent, Fuqua, which lost for the first time last week to Roanoke Catholic 4321, but still remains the top-ranked team in Division IV of the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association. “We haven’t played the starters more than a half for four weeks now,” said Pony coach Nick Howard. “Hopefully, our timing is sharp, but the good thing is we are healthy entering this game. Fuqua is going to be tough, very tough.” Fuqua will be seeking revenge tonight as Chincoteague pulled an upset last year to defeat the Falcons at their Homecoming game in Farmville.

Then when we finally scored, they had a long run that was a backbreaker for us.” Firebird turnovers led to two scores by Washington in the second half on runs by Trevelle Jones. After the second score, Arcadia answered with a 30-yard run by Terrell Wharton and a long pass from quarterback Josh Sanns to Travon Copes to the 3-yard line, where Contrel Brown punched it in for the score to pull within six points at 13-7. But just when it appeared the Firebirds would get the ball back, Washington broke a 68-yard run for a third touchdown, and Arcadia never recovered. Tonight, Arcadia hosts Nandua for its Homecoming game with a 7 o’clock start. “This is a game where you can throw the records out,” said Nock. “It’s Homecoming and we’re playing Nandua. We should be up for this game.” Arcadia is back at home next Thursday for a 6 p.m. start with Kent County.

The win matched the school’s season record of seven, set in 2003 and 2004, and was the team’s 12th consecutive victory dating back to last year.

Yippee! Yes, I was always the last kid to be picked when teams were chosen for a neighborhood baseball game and I am a major klutz who can’t dribble a basketball while thinking. But this isn’t coming from me. I’m just the bearer of bad tidings. Are you ready for the news flash? OK. It has been discovered that extensive exercise can ruin your teeth. No, not because those with the sports-like abilities are drinking power drinks, although, they probably are. And not because they like power bars, which hardly compare to that little wrapped chocolate and raisin brick I’m dreaming about. It’s because those athletes get dry mouth when they are running, skipping, hopping, lifting or whatever and that can cause cavities. I didn’t make this up in an attempt to stop riding my exercise bike. Really. But then again, the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science wasn’t referring to me. The report was meant to educate the hard-core exercisers, those crazy people we see running along the road when it is 90-plus degrees outside. What are they thinking? I’ll tell you what I think they are thinking, “I need a drink.” That’s what they are thinking. They are sweating out their liquids. And here’s another unrelated thought. There is now proof that size Post Office Mail Library Brings Community Knowledge Dear Editor: I recently corresponded with a friend’s daughter who was away studying in China. I asked her to look into the records of an American who had worked there in the l9th century. Philo McGiffin was an officer in the Chinese Imperial Navy and helped set up the first Chinese naval academy. As a writer and retired Navy captain, I wanted to see what the Chinese take was on his mission. I was surprised at her response. She emailed me back: “I have asked all my friends here, and their families . . . I’m told the Chinese government keeps all the archives restricted. There aren’t even any public libraries . . . The newspaper editor says history is a secret and it belongs to the government.” Public libraries and the access to unfiltered information they provide have been one of the pillars of American democracy–as our founding fathers recognized. Benjamin Franklin established our first public library in 1731. James Madison said, “Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.” (letter to William T. Barry, Aug. 4, 1822). And John Adams wrote in his diary, “I must judge for myself, but how can I judge, how can any man judge, unless his mind has been opened and enlarged by reading.” is everything. Stop smiling. This is all about the eyes. A study conducted by Leiden University in the Netherlands says the dimensions of one’s pupils determine the person’s decision-making ability. “These findings reveal that a person’s state of responsiveness, as measured by pupil size, is a key determinant of the variability of the decisions they make about the world around them,” according to the report. What a sentence that was. “When hyper-responsive, our decision making appears to be less reliable and will more likely lead to undesirable outcomes,” it states. I get that. So I have to ask, “When was the last time you could change the size of your pupils at will?” I could have saved someone a lot of money by telling them our pupils are bigger when we are in the dark. HELLO! I wonder if our government helped fund that project. “The results were obtained by mea- But free libraries, like liberty itself, must be fought for anew with each generation. The Eastern Shore’s libraries have been badly under-funded for decades. I saw this clearly in comparing our expenditures per citizen with those of other counties when I served on the board of The Library of Virginia in Richmond. A vigorous library system not only helps us educate ourselves, it attracts new families and vital new businesses as Virginia Beach has shown with their pride and care of their own stellar system. Our own opportunity will come Nov. 4, when I urge everyone to vote “Yes” for the first significant library upgrade in Accomack County in fifty years. Dave Poyer, Northampton County Supervisor Offers Alternative Library Site at College Dear Editor: On Nov. 4, 2014 Accomack County voters will go to their voting precincts to cast their votes. One issue on the ballot will be, “Should Accomack County incur a debt in the amount of $3,500,000 to help build a new library?” The question isn’t, “Do you support the library?” It is, “Can Accomack County afford this huge debt while the county is trying to address serious space needs within the school division, the health department, eliminating rental expense and many other space needs?” The county has limited resources and as such we need to address issues on a regional basis whenever possible, which is the case with the library. During suring the pupil size of 26 volunteers” and then observing them as they made “challenging perceptual decisions that are frequently encountered in everyday life,” according to Science Daily magazine. “Pupil size gives a good indication of how responsive a person is at any given moment, with larger pupils correlating with increased responsiveness.” I just don’t buy it, although, that would mean that bright summer sunshine would be a deterrent to rational thinking. And being the winter lover that I am, the hypothesis makes sense. Oh, and here’s another thing going on in the minds and pupils of local folks. They think the Virginia state bird should be changed to the fruit fly, especially during the fall months. “The fact that it is not a bird is a minor diversion,” said an Onancock woman. “If you live here, you understand just how much more fitting an insect can really be.” the past several months, I have encouraged the Eastern Shore Library Board of Trustees to explore the possibility of joining with Eastern Shore Community College to construct a new library. The timing could not be better. Plans are under way to construct a new community college facility at its current location. A partnership between a community college and public library is not a new concept. Approximately two years ago the City of Virginia Beach and Tidewater Community College came together and built a new library with the community college paying 82 percent of the cost. There are always options available to save taxpayer dollars. It is a matter of exploring all opportunities and with the issue of the library the opportunity is there to collaborate with the community college to build a new library and not incur a $3,500,000 debt. I encourage everyone to exercise his or her right to vote on Nov. 4. Supervisor Robert Crockett of District 6 Chairman Disagrees with Supervisor Dear Editor: It is interesting that the Supervisors who were most emphatic that “the people should decide” when they passed the motion to put the library bond referendum on the Nov. 4 ballot, now seem to be backing away from their original wisdom by the employment of subtle sabotage against their own referendum. First it was Supervisor Thornton who sent a letter to the editor which was rife with inaccuracies and October 24, 2014 • Eastern Shore Post • 39 misinformation. This week Supervisor Crockett suggested the library should join forces with the community college. Unfortunately, this is an old idea which has already been considered by the leadership of the college and the Library Board of Trustees and was rejected as impractical. This decision was previously communicated to Supervisor Crockett as a member of the committee designated by the Board of Supervisors to work with the Library Board of Trustees to come up with a workable solution for a new library. It is not appropriate for Supervisor Crockett to present this now as a new idea in an effort to influence voters. I think we should go back to the original concept, “Let’s let the people decide.” Frank Hall Chairman, Vote Yes Committee Vote No to Library Dear Editor: Frank Hall’s only correct statement in his letter is that there is NO PLAN for a new library! One wonders why we are even voting to commit taxpayers to $3.5 million in potential debt when we have no idea of costs. There was a library plan and donated land that Library Board Vice-President Paul Berge says has now been scrapped. That plan was more concerned with meeting space (we already have the chamber, community college, Nandua High School, Shore Bank, schools, churches, etc.), fireplaces, and a kitchen and a brick facade required by the land donors. No where did that plan address digital services which require no storage and are much less expensive. TIME Magazine wrote of a digital library in Texas constructed for $1.2 million dollars. All our schools have libraries. Residents can use the excellent community college library by just getting a card. Students have electronic devices to use in school as readers. The cost of getting an electronic service is much less than a building. As the world goes paperless we have a group that wants to encumber debt for twenty years, spend up the county’s debt limit–like maxing out a credit card leaving nothing for emergencies. The arsons of last year, current health concerns, the need for support for teachers and public safety as well as the county’s own capital construction needs demonstrate the folly of spending unwisely and long term debt. The current library needs better space for staff. That can be accomplished for far less than $3.5 million. I urge voters to vote “NO!” on Nov. 4 and step back and re-think what we really need. Shirley Zamora, Onancock No Tax Dollars on Library Dear Editor: Supporters of the library bond say it would not result in a tax hike because payments can be de- layed for a few years until after a school bond is paid off. Unmentioned is that the alternative to keeping taxes at this level is a tax cut. The property tax is the most regressive tax imposed in America and it should be kept as low as possible at all times. Bond supporters have been promoting the idea that those with limited financial means are dependent upon the library for the use of computers. In the real world, which do you think will help the impoverished more: a new library like bond supporters pretend or a slight inconvenience in using the existing library plus a tax cut? Library bond supporters point out that there are 18,000 library cardholders on the Shore. That’s out of a population of 45,000. Even discounting the young, at best only half of Shore residents use the library. In other words, bond supporters are asking the government to force half of Shore taxpayers to fund a service in which they have absolutely no interest. If a new library actually has as much demand as its supporters like to imagine, then there shouldn’t be a problem funding it entirely with voluntary donations. So do it. There’s nothing stopping you except a lack of interest. Prove to everyone on the Shore that people want this project to happen enough that they will fund it without being forced to pay for it by the government. There’s no rush. Wait for the school bond to be paid off and then ask for donations from the resulting tax cut. Civilized people do not rely upon government to force everyone to pay for their wants. James Palmer, Onancock Vote Yes On Nov. 4 Dear Editor: Eastern Shore Citizens! The library and goundation boards have been and are diligently working to insure the new Eastern Shore Public Library becomes a reality. They have spent many hours in discussion, research, and assessing the needs of our current and future population. Their endeavor to work with the supervisors has resulted in a referendum to be voted on Nov. 4, 2014. The supervisory board members have assured them they will spearhead the building of a new facility if that is your desire. While the library staff endeavor to meet the needs of its users and have tried to anticipate future usage, it is now impossible to adequately serve the community. There are space issues for computer users, lack of shelving for books, inadequate meeting rooms, needed expansion of the genealogy and history archive center and the need for more vehicle parking. We cannot meet Virginia’s requirements unless we expand. Numerous sites have been examined and found inadequate to meet the future needs. Thus it is imperative that the referendum passes. The generous offer of Shore Bank for a free building site may be withdrawn if the library loses this referendum and progress cannot be made in building a new facility. Let us make sure we continue to have services our residents need and deserve and build a library that will meet state standards. Our message to the supervisors should be that we do want and expect progress on the Eastern Shore. Let us move into the twenty-first century and VOTE YES for the Library!
