August 30, 2013 Circulation 13,000 Free Suspect in Home Invasion Fatally Shot By Linda Cicoira One suspect is dead, another is injured and two others are believed to have fled from Sanford Wednesday after allegedly invading a residence, according to police. No names were released at press time Thursday but it was disclosed that the suspects were armed. “The man who died was found in a car at the Corner Mart in Temperanceville,” said Accomack Sher- iff Todd Godwin. The injured suspect, a woman, was also in the vehicle. At about 9:50 p.m. Wednesday, a report came in to the 911 Center of a home invasion and robbery on Marsh Market Road, according to Lt. Gerald Gogo of the sheriff’s office. “During the incident, two of the suspects were shot. One is deceased, the other was transported to a local hospital.” “Someone (who lives) at the residence fired the shot that caused the injuries to the suspects,” Goga added. He said Oak Hall Rescue responded, no warrants were issued “as of yet” and the State Police are assisting. Goga confirmed that no one from the house was injured. There were five or six people in the home when the invasion occurred, a relative said Thursday. Crash Kills New Church Bicyclist By Linda Cicoira An Accomack County man was the second person to die in a traffic accident on the Eastern Shore this year, according to State Police 1st Sgt. Jean Paul N. Koushel. The victim was Donald Allan McCall, 54, of New Church. He was riding a bicycle north on Route 679 (Fleming Road) about three-tenths of a mile north of Route 175, when he was hit by a vehicle and killed around 8:20 p.m. Sunday. Herbert Chase Haugh, 52, of New Church was driving a northbound 2012 Dodge Ram pick-up truck, Koushel said. “A car was approaching south and the north driver did not see the bicyclist and struck him,” the sergeant added. There were “no lights on the bicycle.” Trooper John Carmody investigated the accident. Koushel said no charges were made. A spokesperson from 911 said Atlantic Fire Company and Oak Hall Rescue responded.

Man Originally Charged with Murder Given Suspended Sentence for Attempted Robbery 26081 Lankford Hwy Onley, VA 23418 757-787-7531 We accept all major credit and debit cards Open 6am to Midnight 7 days a week Story and photo by Linda Cicoira Devonte Leshawn Davis, the star witness and “only source of evidence that the commonwealth had to convict the triggerman” of the shooting death of a Guatemalan native in 2011 near Parksley, was released from jail Thursday. Judge W. Revel Lewis of Accomack Circuit Court sentenced Davis, 20, of Airport Road in Melfa to 10 years in prison for attempted robbery in connection with the incident, with all but time served suspended. Davis had been in custody for two years and two weeks. Lewis ordered 10 years of good behavior and 10 years of supervised probation. The judge also wished Davis luck on his endeavor to attend culinary school. Although no promises were made in exchange for his testimony, Commonwealth’s Attorney Gary R. Agar will not be prosecuting charges of firstdegree murder, use of a firearm and possession of a firearm by a felon that were initially made against Davis. “His cousin (Kevonte J. Bell, 20, of Gaskins Road in Onancock) got 25 years based on this man’s willingness to come before the court,” said Agar. “We do not believe he (Davis) actually planned on ever considering the outcome would occur … the person who he followed is certainly out of the picture … what he does have is a very supportive family … who told him to (Continued on Page 14) August 30, 2013 • Eastern Shore Post • 5 Court Postings By Linda Cicoira Northampton Circuit Court Accused killer Gary Aaron Coble was granted a second mental evaluation in Northampton Circuit Court Monday to determine if he is fit to stand trial or eligible to plead temporary insanity. Judge W. Revel Lewis III agreed to the request due to the “severity of the charges.” Coble, 47, who’s last address was Madison Street in Cape Charles, was indicted on counts of first-degree murder, use of a firearm and possession of a firearm by a felon in connection with the March 31 death of Bryan Keith Elliott. He is being held in Eastern Shore Regional Jail without bond. A local doctor believes “there is a void in part of his brain,” defense lawyer Garrett Dunham said. He wondered if Coble has the ability to control his actions. The attorney said if problems are found, second-degree murder might be a better charge for his client. Psychologist David H. Keenan performed the first evaluation. Dunham argued a medical doctor would be more equipped to explore all the possibilities. It is “necessary for a proper defense of this case,” he added. “He’s got several different injuries … and quite a story to tell.” Dunham said Central State Hospital can provide a “secure environment” while Coble is evaluated. “He’s had his bite of the apple,” argued Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Beverly Leatherbury. She said Coble should not be allowed “to shop for an expert at the expense of the taxpayer … we know Coble has a brain injury” from a traffic accident. “Perhaps better to be safe than sorry … but Dr. Keenan didn’t say another expert is needed.” At a preliminary hearing, Northampton Sheriff David Doughty testified Coble confessed when he turned himself in. “Bryan was picking and poking at me all that day and he basically got what he deserved,” Doughty said Coble told him. The 35-year-old victim had recently moved with his uncle to a doublewide trailer where the younger man was shot once “between the eyebrows,” according to Lt. Michelle Hallett, a sheriff’s investigator. Coble, who was homeless, was staying with them. ………………………… Antwine Jermine Reid, 32, of Machipongo pleaded guilty Monday in Northampton Circuit Court to three counts of possession with intent to distribute cocaine. According to a summary given by Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Beverly Leatherbury, Reid was involved in the $225 sale of an eight ball of cocaine at Morley’s Wharf on Jan. 23. She said he also sold crack cocaine to a police informant on Jan. 24. The case was continued pending completion of a presentence report. Reid was remanded to jail. Before he left the courtroom, he turned and waved to his family and a little girl shouted, “Bye, Dad.” Antonio Ellis, 51, of Nassawadox was sentenced for a third offense of DUI to five years in prison, with all but a year suspended. He got five years for DUI/unlawful wounding, with all but five months suspended, and 12 months for driving on a suspended license, with 11 months suspended. He also was fined $1,000. Robert L. Holley, 28, of Plymouth, N.C., got five years for possession of a firearm by a felon and 12 months for possession of a concealed weapon. All but two years of the terms was suspended. Joseph Lamont Hines, 32, of Birds nest was sentenced to three years for possession of cocaine. All but 30 days of the sentence was suspended and his driver’s license was taken away for six months. ………………………… Accomack Grand Jury Two quiet indictments handed down by an Accomack Grand Jury were made public Tuesday. Upshur Thomas Ayres Jr., no age available, of Accomac was indicted in June of two counts of selling cocaine on Dec. 1, 2012, and May 1, 2013. Vincent Lee of the Eastern Shore Drug Task Force (ESDTF) gave information about the case to the jury. Keon Lamar Townsend, 31, of Raymond Townsend Lane in Horntown was indicted on counts of distributing heroin on Nov. 27, 2012, and Jan. 7 and 8, 2013. Lee also testified in this case. Ayres and Townsend are being held in Accomack Jail without bail. ………………………… Accomack District Court Larrie Linwood Taylor, the 65-yearold Painter man who drove drunk and caused the death of a local off-duty state trooper and his 9-year-old son in Onley 10 years ago is facing more charges in connection with a crash that occurred earlier this month. A felony charge of driving on a revoked license after being convicted of alcohol-related manslaughters was filed Tuesday in Accomack General District Court against Taylor. In addition, on Aug. 20 he was charged with driving without a seatbelt. Both accusations involve a collision in which Taylor allegedly drove a car into a utility pole at about 10 p.m. Aug. 11 on Boggs Road near his home. A police report states he “ran off the left side of the road and struck a pole” near Route 620. Taylor was treated at Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital in Nassawadox. He was released several hours later and charged with a second offense of DUI and driving after having his license revoked or suspended. There were no passengers in the vehicle. Taylor was taken to Accomack Jail where he is being held without bond. Senior Trooper B.E. Lewis Sr. filed both the initial and additional charges. A blood alcohol test was taken but results are not expected to be back for several more weeks. The court documents warn: “THIS SUBJECT IS A DANGER TO OTHER CITIZENS AS HE CONTINUES TO DRINK AND DRIVE.” Taylor is still on probation for the 2003 crash, which resulted in the deaths of Trooper Anthony Daryl Campbell, 35, of Exmore and his son, Andrew Tyler Campbell. Taylor was sentenced in 2005 to 10 years in prison for two counts of manslaughter and 12 months for DUI. State records show Taylor was released to Accomack Adult Probation and Parole on Sept. 12, 2012. A hearing for the recent charges is set for Sept. 25. ………………………… A Bloxom man was charged with three felonies last week, according to Accomack General District Court files. Clifton Gene Isdell, 30, of Bethel Church Road was charged with possession or transportation of a firearm by a felon, burglary of John Maddox’s house and grand theft of Maddox’s gun. The offenses allegedly occurred between Aug. 13 and 23. Isdell was arrested on Aug. 23. He is being held in Accomack Jail without bond. Desmond Corbin, 34, of Pocomoke, Md., will not be prosecuted for a count of grand larceny in connection with a July 15 incident. Joseph C. Demarco, 56, of Atlantic was convicted of misdemeanor shoplifting in connection with a July 17 incident. He was initially charged with felony theft. Demarco was sentenced to 30 days in jail, with 15 suspended. John William Ward Jr., 43, of Main Street in Hallwood will not be prosecuted for felony hit and run occurring June 6. He was convicted of DWI, a misdemeanor, and given a 365-day suspended sentence. His driver’s license was restricted for a year. ………………………… Northampton District Court Two men were arrested in North ampton County last weekend and charged with maiming in separate incidents. Ronnie Bernard Wilson Jr., 22, of Coal Kiln Road in Painter was charged with maliciously wounding Howard Thomas on Saturday, Aug. 24. Northampton District Court records state Wilson “allegedly attacked the victim as he came out of food mart.” The “victim sustained (a) broken nose and various fractures to the face. … (it is) not clear if any sort of device was used to strike victim.” Exmore Police Officer A.T. Zieger investigated. In the other case, Wilbert Lamont Sample Jr., 37, of Holland Lane in Cheriton is accused of malicious maiming Ricardo C. Finley, also on Aug. 24. Deputy Carlos Moyano of Northampton County Sheriff’s Office (NCSO) is investigating. Sample’s brother-in-law, who was not identified, is an officer and told “Sample about the warrant. Mr. Sample then turned himself in and has been cooperative,” the file said. Both men are being held in Eastern Shore Regional Jail without bond. Preliminary hearings are set for October. Andrew Whaley Jr., 42, of TB Road in Exmore was charged with driving a vehicle after having been found to be a habitual offender. Trooper J.K. Feryus investigated. Detravius Breon Upshur, 19, of Machipongo was charged with breaking into an occupied house owned by H. Cypress on Aug. 18, and buying or receiving stolen property. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for September. NCSO Deputy Keith Brady investigated. 6 • Eastern Shore Post • August 30, 2013 Got $3,000? By Linda Cicoira Accused arsonist Tonya Susan Bundick has been unable to come up with the cash she needs to get out of Accomack Jail. About two weeks ago, Judge Glen Tyler of Accomack Circuit Court, set bond at $30,000 for the 40-year-old Hopeton woman. Bonding companies require 10 percent of the post. But Bundick, who is accused of arson and conspiracy to commit the crime in connection with an April 1 fire in a house on Airport Drive near Melfa, is still behind bars. Nearly 80 arsons were reported in Accomack from November 2012 to April 2013. Bundick’s fiancé, Charles Robert Smith III, also known as Charlie Applegate, 38, of Hopeton, confessed to a majority of the fires. He told police Bundick set 15 unoccupied buildings on fire. Bond was denied for Smith in Accomack General District Court. His lawyer filed papers to appeal the decision, but a date was never set for a hearing. Both defendants have been in the county jail for about five months. In May, Tyler denied Bundick’s request for freedom after Commonwealth’s Attorney Gary Agar said he intended to seek up to 70 indictments against her. That didn’t happen when a Grand Jury met in early August. The panel did indict Smith on 67 counts of arson and a count of conspiracy. Tyler ordered bond arrangements for Bundick be made through a professional bond company. He did not favor a house being put up as collateral and ordered she be prohibited from leaving Accomack or Northampton County unless there is a medical necessity. Agar argued against bond. He said while “two charges are more appropriate” at this time, “we don’t know how this case may proceed. There is a likelihood of her running … she is very aware of the circumstances of her codefendant … a major threat of additional charges is over her like a dark cloud.” Defense lawyer Shannon Dunham, said Bundick is not a flight risk since she is a lifelong resident of the Shore.

Housing for more than 1,100 workers and packing houses in Mappsville, Tasley and New Church were part of the buys. According to the company’s website, Del Monte “is one of the world’s leading … producers, marketers and distributors of high-quality fresh and fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, as well as leading producer and distributor of prepared food in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the countries formerly part of the Soviet Union.” In Accomack, among the properties the business bought were: 152 acres known as the Wessells Farm on Route 658; 509 acres on Drummondtown Road known as the Bull Farm; nearly 450 acres at the intersection of Logan and Stonehouse roads known as Virginia Farm; the 130-acre Killmon Farm in Exmore; and the 72-acre Duer Home Farm, the nearly 200-acre Drewer Farm and the 50-acre Jacobs Farm, all on Indian Trail Road.

Another Accomack parcel was also part of that buy. The Candlelight Camp & Motel on Lankford Highway in Birdsnest went for $40,000 to John and Sun Sanns, who have an address in Hallwood. The court is scheduled to approve the bids next week. East Coast halted business in 2012. It filed for bankruptcy in March and owes at least $51 million. August 30, 2013 • Eastern Shore Post • 7 Northampton School Administrators Named By Ron West Northampton Schools Superintendent Dr. Walter Clemons introduced the system’s newest school administrators at last week’s School Board meeting in Machipongo. Ray Sullivan, most recently of the Roanoke Rapids, N.C. region, was named assistant principal at Kiptopeke Elementary School. Sullivan will fill the spot created earlier in the summer when Sabrina Parker was promoted from that position to principal. Named to a newly created position was Alice Graham, who will serve as principal for Northampton Middle School. The middle school has been created by blocking off the southern portion of Northampton High School to house the students in Grades 7 and 8. A principal for the high school has yet to be named. The most recent principal, Alvin Coleman, left that position at the end of the school term in June. According to Clemons, Coleman has been named as a mathematics coach to serve all of the schools. Explaining the $87,000 salary that will go with the position, Clemons noted that Coleman has over 35 years of experience in education, 12 in administration. According to the administrative salary scale for 2013-14, principals and department directors with 36 years of experience could earn in excess of $94,000 annually. Board Chairman Dr. Richard Drury, said the system is advertising for applicants for high-school principal and expects to have the post filled in October. In a related area, Clemons said there are only four or five teaching positions left open and he expects to have them filled by the time schools open in September. Clemons reported that a new partnership with NASA Wallops will allow students in Grade 7 to work with experiments dealing with underwater robotic research. Robotic kits will be provided for the students during the 2013-14 school term. It was announced that there would be a joint session of the School Board and Board of Supervisors to discuss the school capital improvement plan. At issue is whether to spend up to $20 million over the next few years for repairs and improvements at the county’s three schools or to spend $30 million for a new facility in Eastville to serve both middle- and high-school students. Technology Director Dan Harris reported that members of his department deserve a lot of credit for updating and installing computer systems in all of the schools for the upcoming term. He said there currently are approximately 2,100 computers in the buildings. While the system expects to have approximately 1,700 students in September, Harris said that several hundred of the machines will be set aside for testing purposes. Prior to concluding the session, the board agreed to add the color maroon to those accepted for standardized dress. We can get you in, get you help & on your way in 15 minutes or less!

Streamside buffers help catch and filter polluted runoff, preventing dirt, fertilizer, and chemicals from washing into nearby waters.

The area extends approximately a mile north and south of the Cape Charles traffic signal and is zoned primarily as either commercial or industrial, with only a few businesses. The key question is how best to use the area without creating an adverse effect. A related issue is the current effort by the Public Service Authority (PSA) to provide a wastewater solution for property owners in that area. The county already has developed a tax scale for the properties that would benefit from the service. “While economic growth and development for the county is needed, we need to ensure that it won’t become detrimental to the business owners and citizens of Cape Charles,” Cape Charles Planning Director Rob Testerman said. The consensus of the Cape Charles planners was to limit commercial development near the traffic signal in order to direct it into the town. Specific concerns included businesses that might directly compete with the one existing pharmacy in the lower end of the county or a hardware business that has existed in town for decades. Northampton Planning Commissioner Roberta Kellam noted that final decisions have not been made with regards to the PSA project and that the Planning Commission had not been in the loop regarding much of the planning for it. She added that it would be difficult legally to restrict certain types of businesses based on a desire to protect similar business interests in the area. Cape Charles Councilwoman Joan Natali, who also serves on the town Planning commission, noted that the wastewater facility was designed to handle growth should the town reach full buildout. “There are 2,700 building sites in Bay Creek, with approximately 1/3 built on,” she said. It also was pointed out that of the 958 residential units in the town, about half are occupied year ’round, with another 400 available as rentals. As noted at the session, providing the infrastructure will take time and then it will likely be even longer before new commercial interests are attracted to the area. A final issue that needs to be overcome, according to Natali, is providing a viable school system to attract new businesses, as well as a way to provide 24/7 emergency health care in the county once the hospital moves to Onley. “People need to see good health care and good schools in an area to want to move here,” Natali said.

Also honored were Jeffrey Logan Holland, Sue and John Sanns, Richard F. Hall III and Larry Rantz. SWCD Awards Announced Last month, the Eastern Shore Soil and Water Conservation District honored local community members for their conservation efforts. The Conservation Teacher Award was presented to Marianne Simko, who works full time as an environmental manager from URS Corporation at NASA Wallops Flight Facility and volunteers as coach of Arcadia High School’s Envirothon Team. The district recognized Jessica Flory with the Conservation Student Award. She has been a volunteer at Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge for the past four years. This summer she is a Sea STAR (Students Teaching And Researching Coastal Education) intern at the Marine Science Consortium. Homeschooled by her mother, Jessica is also the president of her 4-H Club, leader of her AWANA club, and involved in Girl Scouts and Youth Club. In 2011 Jessica created a dress from 87 balloons collected on Paramore Island in one day. She wears the dress during her presentations to local schools and events to educate people about the dangers of balloon pollution. The 2013 Conservation Farmer Award was presented to Richard F. Hall III, who owns Loblolly Farms in Accomac and farms 3,200 acres in a corn/wheat/beans crop rotation with cover crops. Through the district’s Best Management Program, Hall participated in all available covercrop programs since 1996 and kept current nutrient management plans since 1995. He has installed riparian buffers around his fields to filter sediment and nutrients from coastal waters and has improved irrigation efficiency. Robbie Lewis, area forester, nominated Larry Rantz for the 2013 Forestry Conservationist Award. The Virginia Department of Forestry has worked with Rantz for years, conducting traditional forest management practices for timber production, wildlife habitat enhancement, and soil and water conservation. Nominated by Tina Jerome, district conservationist for the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this year’s 2013 Wildlife Conservationist Award was presented to Ralph Dodd, who farms in Eastville, near Cherrystone Creek. Through the Conservation Stewardship Program, Dodd has planted over six acres of wildflower meadows at the edges of his fields, extending his existing riparian herbaceous/forested buffers by over 100 feet. He plants a corn/soybean/ wheat rotation using continuous no-till planting methods over 75 percent of his land. DCR’s 2013 Clean Water Farm Award, given to farmers who are exemplary in their protection of soil and water resources, went to Sue and John Sanns. After a 2012 energy audit, the Sanns’ state-of- the-art chicken houses were equipped with upgraded insulation, topnotch fanning mechanics and replacement dimmable LED lightbulbs. The structures are outlined by waterproof covering to slow soil erosion at the base of the houses. The Sanns have taken several steps to protect groundwater quality, capture ammonia and particulate matter, and reduce odors. This year, the district’s Endowment Committee awarded $500 W. Foster Fletcher Scholarships to Kelsey Bisker of Northampton High School, who will attend Clemson University in the fall, majoring in wildlife and fisheries biology; and Logan Holland of Broadwater Academy, who will attend Virginia Tech in the fall, majoring in crop and soil environmental science. The district recognized Victoria Spence of Shore Christian Academy and Brittany Scott of Northampton High School, whose posters placed first in the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts State Poster Competition.

Davenport spokesperson Courtney Rogers reminded both boards that the county must maintain firm guidelines regarding how much to borrow versus the county’s ability to handle such debt without overtaxing citizens. Key characteristics of a highly regarded, creditworthy locality, according to Rogers, include conservative budgeting, strong cash reserves, prudent debt levels, and multi-year capital planning. The School Board has repeatedly stressed the need to replace the existing high school in Eastville. Built in 1954, the building has seen a number of renovations and additions, most recently the conversion of one wing to serve as a middle school. Repairs of the county’s three schools over the next few years have been estimated at $20 million. A new high school-middle school complex would cost approximately $30 million. Davenport provided estimates of annual (Continued From Front Page) loan payments for the county for the next 20 years if it borrowed $30 million. That would run the total debt service to $92 million that would need to be repaid by 2036. The Board of Supervisors made no recommendation with regards to borrowing any additional funds for the schools. The supervisors used the opportunity to discuss the status of the schools with Superintendent Dr. Walter Clemons. Supervisor Rick Hubbard raised the issue of the most recent Standards of Learning (SOL) testing scores. Noting that 16 of 23 areas tested showed lower scores than the previous year, Hubbard questioned how this could be when the school system had hired the Edison Learning Company two years ago to help turn around testing scores. School Board Chairman Dr. Richard Drury said the School Board is equally unhappy with the scores. Clemons said students had shown improvement in science and social studies, but were still having difficulty passing the reading and math tests. Clemons added that recent changes in the math and reading tests have posed challenges to a number of schools throughout the state. Board of Supervisors Chairman Willie Randall noted that low test scores did not just happen, but had been an ongoing problem for five or six years and would probably take that long to clear up. “We all need to work together to make things better,” Randall said. Following the joint session, County Development Director Charles McSwain gave a brief summary of proposed changes to the county’s zoning policies, including more flexibility for assisted living facilities, family day homes, and the county’s sign ordinance. The supervisors were united in their support of loosening restrictions that tend to make it more difficult for businesses to operate in the county. The board is seeking to have the proposed zoning modifications completed by late fall, with a public hearing on them in December.

While no decision was made, the consensus of the board was that the seaside does not need to be included. ~ Taylor ~ (Continued From Page 4) turn state’s evidence … they did see promise in Devonte Davis.” “It’s an appropriate disposition,” said defense attorney Randall J. Leeman Jr. He contended Davis attempted to get Bell and Tyvon Lyncurtis Smith, 20, of Diamond Spring Lane in Parksley “to abandon the robbery scheme” that night. “He lives with that guilt every day,” said Leeman. “He knows he can’t make this up.” “His mother’s house was shot up (and) a bullet went through his younger brother’s bed,” but he still did the right thing and testified, said Leeman. “There was no physical evidence or DNA. It was his testimony and his testimony alone … he’s a different person … dedicated to turn his life to the positive. He’s taken everything to heart … is committed to raising his own daughter … and attending culinary school,” the attorney added. Davis said he and the two others followed a man to the former Godwin’s Plant World on Lankford Highway near Parksley, where they planned to rob him. They did not realize that other poultry workers would be coming to the site as they all got a ride to work from there. As more vehicles arrived, Davis said, the three men decided to leave the area. Bell was pulling the car away when Davis heard the shot and then saw Bell with the gun, Davis testified at the trial. The murder victim, Belarmino Escalante, 25, lived in Greenbush with his wife and four children. He was walking up to the car when he was shot in the chest. Escalante died a short time later. Smith testified he wasn’t there that night. His mother and father said he was at home when the murder occurred. Smith’s first trial ended with a hung jury. The second time he was acquitted. Bell was sentenced to 45 years in prison for second-degree murder with 20 years suspended.

Tonight the remainder of the Eastern Shore teams get underway after Broadwater opened its season with a 40-7 win over Hatteras on the Outer Banks on Saturday. The Vikings will be off this week before they travel to Chincoteague next week. That will seem like a short trip after a nearly five-hour bus ride to and from Hatteras on Saturday. Last week I previewed the Broadwater and Northampton seasons. Today, previews for Arcadia, Nandua and Chincoteague are featured. Tonight’s action includes Arcadia visiting King William, a playoff team a year ago, and Chincoteague opening on the road against Hampton Roads. The only local contest will be Northampton at Nandua for a 7 p.m. kickoff at Onley.

Overall, I was pleased with the way we performed.” Broadwater scored in two plays after receiving the opening kickoff, with Brendon Burrows throwing to Wesley Shrieves for a 32-yard gain before Adam Bowen scampered for a 32-yard touchdown. On the second Viking series, Ben Holland tossed a 36-yard scoring pass to Michael Riopel. In the second quarter, Burrows had touchdown runs of 5 and 39 yards be- fore Malik McCaskill gave the Vikings a 34-0 halftime lead with a 25-yard run. Shrieves added to the lead with a 4-yard run in the third quarter. The Viking defense shut down Hatteras. Frank Long led the unit with 14 tackles, Malik McCaskill added 12, and Preston Richardson and Shrieves batted down passes. Palmer said Coach Rick Barnes did an outstanding job of preparing the Viking defense. With a running clock, Broadwater did not score in the fourth quarter, but gave up a late touchdown with the starters on the sideline. Broadwater passed only five times, completing three, including one each by Burrows, Holland and Austin Murphy. Broadwater is off this week and travels to Chincoteague on Sept. 6. Iberra Leads Nandua to Golf Win Leslie Iberra of Nandua chips in a Shore District golf match held at Captain’s Cove in Greenbackville last Thursday. Arcadia’s Sarah Jones, looking on, had the low score of the day with an 86. Iberra was second with a 96, and Northampton’s Will Carstens placed third with a 98. Nandua won the match, 432-434, over Northampton, using the best four scores. On Wednesday at Bay Creek, Nandua won a 9-hole match with 201 strokes. Arcadia had 220, Northampton 246 and Chincoteague 270. Arcadia’s Jones and Mason Grove had a 40 and 43, respectively; Nandua’s Zach Underwood and Iberra had a 48 and 49, with a 50 and 54 for teammates Matthew Tyler and Jack Schreiber.

Jackets Field Hockey Opener The Northampton field hockey team lost to New Kent Tuesday 3-2 in a shootout after being tied 1-1 at the end of regulation and overtime. Madisen Lewis scored to tie the game with 1:11 remaining in the first half; then Erica Head scored the lone goal in the shootout. Katie Spady, Rima Horé, Nicole Reyes and Brittnay Glennon played strong defense. Coach John Gorman was pleased with his team, which lost seven starters from last season. Webb Throws Three Perfect Innings for Win Tyler Webb, a 2009 graduate of Northampton High School, had his best game as a pro Saturday with three perfect innings and six strikeouts to get the win for the Charleston RiverDogs. Webb, a 6’-6” southpaw signed by the New York Yankees after an outstanding career at the University of South Carolina, struck out the side in the ninth with all batters going down swinging to raise his record to 3-1. He lowered his ERA to 3.41. 22 • Eastern Shore Post • August 30, 2013 Bay Fishing Challenge Set for Sept. 21 Sponsored by the Eastern Shore of Virginia Anglers Club, the Onancock Bay Challenge will take place this year on Saturday, Sept. 21.

August 30, 2013 • Eastern Shore Post • 23 Arcadia Has Talent To Make Run at Playoffs Story and photos by Bill Sterling Arcadia will need to cope with the loss of some key players from last year’s team, but still has quality players who can be difference makers with the right support. Quarterback Josh Sanns is back with a year’s experience under center and should be much improved. Tyler and Taylor Major, both about 190 pounds and fleet afoot, will touch the ball often, running and receiving. Treyvon Copes and John Wright also will carry the ball for the Firebirds. Dylan Thomas, Eric Grinnage and Jamaz Clark will see action as wideouts. All-District returnee Todd Mackavene will spearhead a line, with center Zach Sepelak and linemen Cody Anderson, Damien Kirkpatrick, Leander Dickerson and Clay Fournouy filling other positions. “We’ve got some playmakers and adequate size on the line,” said Coach Tony Nock, now in his 19th year of coaching, and head coach at Arcadia since 2009. “But we need to be in the right positions and replace some key players from last year. I am happy with what I have seen in pre-season.” Nock is assisted by coaches Wayne Burton, Chase Godfrey, Norman Pitts and Rodney Snyder, The Firebirds list a roster of 28 players, with all but two either juniors or seniors, so youth will not be an issue. Caleb Lucy will see action in the defensive backfield. Clark will anchor one defensive end with Copes on the other. The Major twins and Mackavene also will be important players for the Firebirds defensively. Marcellus Kellam and Raquan Hope figure to help as well. Arcadia hopes to improve on its three-win season from a year ago when it lost some tough games after being close at halftime. The Firebirds don’t see powerhouse Essex this season, but the two opening games with King William and Central Sussex will be tough. Both teams went to the state playoffs last year. A Sept. 27 game with Nandua will be the home opener for Arcadia, which gets only four tilts at the Firebird field this season. Arcadia has four Maryland schools on its schedule, with home games against Colonel Richardson and Washington and away contests against Snow Hill and Kent County. Eventually, however, despite the Maryland competition, Arcadia hopes to land in the Virginia football playoffs.

(757)665-7729 Parksley, VA 24 • Eastern Shore Post • August 30, 2013 Nandua Favored To Repeat as Shore Champs Story and photos by Bill Sterling Nandua will look to defend its Shore District title with several All-District and even All-Region returnees on both sides of the ball. Using the single-wing offense for the second consecutive year, the Warriors will spread the carries among Tyreim Blake, Montrae Armstrong, Anthony Smith and Jakorah Parker. “We are not having to teach the offense this year and can expand the number of plays we run from the single wing,” said Coach Chris Miles, now in his second year. The offensive line will be anchored by center Tyler Bell, with 300 pounder Malachi Wise holding down one tackle and David Strautz manning another. Sophomores Craig Kelly and Robert Bailey will fill out the line, with Alex Pruitt playing one end and Darryl Fisher playing another. David Wright and Mahagee Wise also should see action in the receiving slots. On defense, the Warriors are led by linebacker Pruitt, who stands tough at 6’-2” and 200 pounds. Strautz, Bell, Malachi Wise, Bailey and Jake Smith will lead a stalwart defensive line. Armstrong and Blake will fill linebacker slots, while Anthony Smith, Parker, Wise and Jamar Jones will be in the defensive backfield. Smith has the capability to return an interception the length of the field and is also a big-play threat as a punt and kickoff returner. Wright, an All-Region kicker, gives the Warriors a scoring chance any time they get inside the 25-yard line and is almost automatic on extra-point attempts. Trevor Wessells is an up and coming player as a sophomore. Nandua opens the season with four consecutive home games, including a Sept. 20 matchup with Essex, a perennial powerhouse in Group A football. Coach Miles hopes to improve on Nandua’s impressive 8-3 record from last year and make a strong showing in the playoffs. He gives credit to one of the largest coaching staffs ever assembled on the Eastern Shore. The staff includes Gwame Mizzelle - JV coach, Tommy Splawn - defensive line & linebackers, Tom Rotkowski - safties & spurs, Deitrick Downing - linebackers, Larry Giddens - corner backs, Don Strautz - offensive line, Jack Sutton - offensive line, Corey Tingle - running backs, Todd Travis - tight ends, receivers and quarterbacks and C.

August 30, 2013 • Eastern Shore Post • 25 Chincoteague Gaining in Numbers, Experience Story and photos by Bill Sterling The Chincoteague Ponies are still young, but not as young as last year when the team only had one senior and four juniors among its 26 players. This year there are four returning seniors among the 33 players, and many of the juniors are returning starters. Coach Nick Howard believes his Pony squad can increase on the three wins of 2012. “We gained some experience last year, and if we can stay healthy, I think our players have quicker reactions and understand game speed better.” The workhorse of the backfield will again be Randy Bowen, who had several 200-yard plus games last season. Also seeing action in the backfield will be sophomores Noah McGee and Cody Britton, in addition to freshman Issac Haymond. Junior Larry Harper returns as quarterback and can help the running game with effective passing. His targets will include Hunter Leonard, Jakeil Handy and Kyle Gentry. Sophomore Luke Betts will handle the snapping, while Ryan Moltedo, Alex McJilton, Jake Rickman, and Joseph Thornton will see action on the offensive line. On the defensive side, Zach Fisher, Justin Lappin, Miles Libertino, and Corey Riefler will be joined by Leonard, Bowden, Rickman, Moltedo and Handy as key members. Howard, now in his ninth year as head coach, has his largest squad in recent years and is optimistic he can have a .500 season, a rarity at Chincoteague, where the small enrollment makes it tough to be competitive in football. “We have a good youth program that is developing players at a young age, and we are seeing the benefits,” said Howard, who counts nine freshmen on his squad. Howard counts among his assistants, Joe Leigh, who retired to Chincoteague with 47 years of coaching experience, including 16 on the staff at Mount Union, a Division III powerhouse that won seven national titles during his time there. Jerry Tarr, Johnny Tarr and Rick Betts round out the coaching staff. Scheduling also can be a problem for the Ponies, who often must travel far to find opponents. This year, Chinco teague only has three home games and only one before an Oct. 18 meeting with the Hampton Generals.

Mary came to the Temple for purification 40 days after the birth of Jesus. Count 40 days back on our calendar, Jesus was born on September 11... any doubt that it was Yom Kippur. Luke tells of a woman named Anna who was in the Temple for a “night and day.” There was ONLY ONE DAY A YEAR when a person could pray overnight in the Temple: Yom Kippur. Few realized that the true 2,000th lunar anniversary of the birth of Jesus was August 22, 1998, or on September 11, 1998 by the solar calendar dating we now use. This is not one of those “sky is falling” warnings. This is the word of God. I take no credit for these Post Ads, for even a fool can tell the truth.

August 30, 2013 • Eastern Shore Post • 35 Posted at Sea Level By Linda Cicoira Whether you are a student or long past the days of formal education, there’s something about the start of the school year that wipes the chalkboard clean. Everybody’s schedule seems to transform, new shows air on television and cooler weather (hopefully) blows in. Some people even start their Christmas shopping. The official end of summer is here despite that the calendar notes the first day of autumn isn’t until Sept. 22 for countries in the Northern Hemisphere. It is also time to plow up the garden and put in fall crops like peas and cabbage. Yellow, orange and red leaves soon will appear. And local high-school football stars will make plays that could gain them college scholarships. But I’ve got something to announce that is even more wonderful than any of that annual stuff. Well, at least to the families involved and me. It is the birth of my friend Ginny’s twin granddaughters! Yippee for the Guys, Parks and McDonalds! Congratulations to parents Jessica Parks and Andrew McDonald! And of course, Ginny! Scarlett Elaine and Charlotte Sue arrived at nearly 10 p.m. July 29 at a Virginia Beach hospital. They were born two minutes apart, with Scarlett, whose hair is red just like her Daddy’s, being first. She weighed 8 pounds, 1 ounce and was 20 inches long. Charlotte weighed exactly one pound less and measured 19.7 inches long. What Post Office Mail Good Teachers Easy To Find Dear Editor: In an article about changes to Accomack County Public Schools’ tenure requirements, last Friday’s Post quoted Superintendent Bruce Benson as saying, “Administrators have a hard time naming a really good teacher who has stayed for five years or more.” As a former Accomack County teacher (who stayed for 18 years), I found his comment insulting — not to me personally, because I left before Dr. Benson came to the county, but to the dedicated, exceptional teachers with whom I had the privilege of working, many of whom are still employed by Accomack County Schools. Administrators may have a hard time naming good teachers who have stayed, but I can, off the top of my head, name at least a dozen who have dedicated themselves to the children of Accomack County for 20 years or more. Perhaps one way to retain good teachers, Dr. Benson, would be to start treating them with the respect and appreciation they deserve. Perhaps one way to make teachers stay more than five years would be to stop publicly denigrating those who do. Beth Price, Pocomoke, Md. BVFC Thanks Supporters Dear Editor: Bloxom Volunteer Fire Company and the Pageant Committee would like to thank the following local sponsors for their generosity and support of the recent annual Fire Prevention pageant: Michael’s Jewelry, Floral Express & Gifts, Baskets and Bows, a beautiful sight! There was a little déjà vu going on as this was the second set of twins born to Jessica. Her first ones, Joanna Melody and Dylan Stewart Parks will be 16 in December and were a wonderful birthday present for Nanny (Ginny) that year. Those two have now been promoted to “Number One Babysitters.” And they are doing a great job. Ginny, of course, is beaming. “When I first saw them I thought they looked like their older brother and sister,” she said. “Scarlett favors Dylan and Charlotte favors Joanna.” Yeah, it was love at first sight. “They started to recognize all of our voices,” Ginny said. “Bonds are already being formed. It is amazing to me. There is such an extended family, but they can pick us out. The minute Charlotte hears my voice in the room, she wants me to pick her up.” Andy, “the father is just beside himself with them.

Krista Kilmon, BVFC Pageant Committee Fish Fry Owes Success to Many Dear Editor: The 40th annual Fish Fry at Edwards’ Seafood was a huge success! On Aug. 10, more than 400 meals were served on a sunny, lightly breezy day. Its success wouldn’t have been possible without the gracious support of our community. We extend a special thank you to Edwards’ Seafood and its generosity of space, labor and cooking duties, to Onancock Rotary Club and its many sponsors for preparing, cooking & serving the meals, and for everyone who provided financial support. The Arc also sends heartfelt thanks to the Broadwater Academy football team for volunteering to help with setup, parking, clean-up and serving, to name a few of their duties, to Onancock General Store for the can be sound asleep and all he has to do is speak; they don’t necessarily wake up but they both smile.” The first names of the babies are favorites that were picked by the parents and siblings. Sue is after Great-Grandmother Sue Savage of Atlantic and Elaine is after the great-grandmother on the father’s side. I’m sorry I don’t know more about her. The girls are coming up on their one-month birthday. OK, somebody (hint for Great-Aunt Linda Guy) please make one of your famous cakes. ice cream, to our cake bakers for the delicious desserts and to the many volunteers who participated that day. We really appreciate the selfless time and energy given to our organization’s annual fund-raising event. We are so very grateful for our faithful attendees who purchased dinner tickets and our supporters who offered additional donations. What a blessing this community is to The Arc! The success of the day belongs to all of you and for that we send our sincerest thanks! The money raised will help The Arc continue to be a voice, resource and friend to the intellectually and developmentally disabled here on the Shore, and provide ongoing support for programs and services for “A Life Like Yours.” Barbara Haynes President, The Arc-Eastern Shore of Virginia “They’re at the Post …” Editor: Cheryl Nowak Advertising Manager: Troy Justis Sports Editor: Bill Sterling Staff Writer: Linda Cicoira Display/Classified Advertising Rep.: Angie H.
