Rocket Explodes Six Seconds
After Launch From Wallops
Story and photos by Linda Cicoira
astern Shore residents brought lawn chairs
and cameras and were looking forward to a
few minutes of family fun Tuesday evening.
There was a cool breeze and some excitement in
the air. Liftoff was scheduled for 6:22 p.m.
A rocket was about to be sent to supply the International Space Station (ISS) from the Mid Atlantic Regional Spaceport’s (MARS’) launch pad
on Wallops Island. It was right in our backyard —
an Antares rocket and Cygnus cargo spacecraft.
What those folks got looked like the view of a
nuclear holocaust.
And the explosion of that rocket that occurred
six seconds after take-off caused those same celebratory residents to panic. Children screamed.
Adults rushed to their vehicles, shouting for others to avoid breathing the fumes. House windows
flew out of their frames. And some stood with
their mouths agape at the wonder of it all.
Did anyone ever imagine that the rocket
wouldn’t go where it was supposed to go? People
said they wanted to cry. But they were too shocked
to do anything but stare or flee.
Word quickly spread that there were no injuries.
The rocket was not manned. The flashing lights
from emergency vehicles could be seen going over
the Wallops bridge. They were on their way to put
out the fireball that streaked the sky. There was
a giant mushroom cloud headed toward Chinco
teague, home of famous wild ponies.
In the aftermath, agencies and Orbital Sciences Corporation, the company in charge of the
launch, are investigating what caused hundreds
of millions of dollars worth of equipment to be
destroyed after a self-destruct mechanism was
detonated by a “catastrophic” equipment failure.
And let’s not forget the 5,000 pounds of supplies
for the ISS.
While Orbital scrambled to figure out what
happened, Russia stepped up to make a delivery.
“While NASA is disappointed that Orbital Sciences’ third contracted resupply mission to the International Space Station was not successful today,
we will continue to move forward toward the next
attempt once we fully understand today’s mishap,”
said William Gerstenmaier, associate administrator of NASA’s Human Exploration and Operations
Directorate, in a released memo. “The crew of the
International Space Station is in no danger of running out of food or other critical supplies.”
“Orbital has demonstrated extraordinary ca-
E
pabilities in its first two missions to the station
earlier this year, and we know they can replicate
that success,” he continued. “Launching rockets
is an incredibly difficult undertaking, and we
learn from each success and each setback. Today’s
launch attempt will not deter us from our work
to expand our already successful capability to
launch cargo from American shores to the ISS.
The $100 billion research laboratory is owned
and operated by 15 countries and orbits about 260
miles above Earth. It was visible to the naked eye
Monday night after the launch was scrubbed because a boat was in prohibited waters and couldn’t
be moved within the three-minute window.
Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge was
closed most of Wednesday to all but police so a
search for rocket debris could be conducted.
NASA Public Relations Director Keith Koehler
said 25 calls from Chincoteague were received regarding debris that was found. Some was as little
as a postage stamp, others the size of a piece of
paper. Koehler said “all heavy items” fell on Wal(Continued on Page 14)

Northampton Board Continues To Treat EMS Issues,
Keeps Seaside Under Bay Protection Act
By Ron West
The Northampton County Board of Supervisors
took on two ongoing issues Monday involving Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
First on the agenda was how best to handle and

emergency response vehicles. EMS Director Hollye Carpenter has pressed the county for several
years to build an EMS garage, office, and training
facility. The EMS Department is currently located in
Machipongo in space rented from local businessman
George Drummond. The space provides an office and
living quarters for a limited number of EMS staff,
but no garage space for the EMS vehicles.
With the closure of the former middle school in
Machipongo, the county looked at the feasibility of
spending just over $1 million to convert a portion of
the structure to meet Carpenter’s request, as well as
repurposing portions of the building for other uses.
Estimates from John Ozmore of DJG Architects arrived and far exceeded the funds available for the
project.
Ozmore said the property occupied by EMS is
large enough to house a garage and new office and
training complex.
It was the consensus of the board that the county
would seek to construct a garage for the EMS rolling
stock, but forgo Carpenter’s request to build a new
headquarters and training facility.
The board agreed to meet at Machipongo at 3 p.m.
on Nov. 12 to walk the property to determine if it
would meet the county’s needs. Following their evaluation of the property, the supervisors will meet for
their regular session in Eastville at 5 p.m. (Due to
Veterans’ Day, the board has shifted its regular session from Nov. 11 to Nov. 12.
A second EMS issue taken up by the supervisors
was a request to continue providing daytime county
EMS staffing of an ambulance at Northampton Volunteer Fire and Rescue in Nassawadox. Over the
summer, the county placed two paid daytime EMS
members at the station at the request of the volunteers, who sometimes are unavailable to respond to
emergency ambulance calls during the day. The temporary fix is slated to end Nov. 8.
Carpenter told the board that she opposes stationing county personnel at Nassawadox as there is not
enough need to do so. County Administrator Katie
Nunez endorsed Carpenter’s views.
Northampton Volunteer Fire and Rescue President Rhonda LeCato told the board that the use of
county staff has been a success, enabling the station
to respond to calls that would have been difficult to
handle otherwise due to the shortage of volunteers
who often work daytime jobs. She noted that the
squad responded to 154 calls over the summer, including the massive and deadly tornado strike that
occurred at Cherrystone Campground.
Carpenter said that calls in the Nassawadox area
of responsibility (Nassawadox to Machipongo) could
be handled by EMS crews that respond from stations
in Bayview and Exmore.
Board Chairman Larry LeMond opposed the request to continue the service, based on the county’s
financial constrictions.
Supervisor Larry Trala suggested that the county wait to hear the recommendations of the ad-hoc
Emergency Care Committee on providing EMS coverage in the county. Only Supervisor Granville Hogg
opposed a motion to that effect.
Advised that the motion meant that the staff
would be removed on Nov. 8, Supervisor Oliver Bennett noted that his vote was not in support of the removal of the staff in November, but rather to wait for
the committee’s report. He said the people in Nassawadox are no less deserving of EMS than those
anywhere else in the county. “We need to continue
providing staff for the station,” he said.
Following a procedural discussion, the supervisors agreed to take another vote on the matter. In
the second vote, Hogg and Bennett voted not to end
the trial staffing at Nassawadox until after hearing the final report from the EMS committee. The
3-2 vote means that unless something changes, the
county’s EMS staff members currently operating
out of Nassawadox will be re-assigned to another
location.
The remainder of the session focused on reviewing a number of changes to the proposed zoning ordinance. County Director of Economic Development
Charles McSwain proposed that the much-debated
proposal to remove the requirements of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act (CBPA) from the seaside be put on hold. McSwain pointed out that recent
changes by the state regarding stormwater management make it less of an problem for property owners.
With the change, the need for extensive site plans
once required for property owners to build will be
less intrusive.
The board agreed by consensus not to remove the
seaside from applicability of the CBPA.
The timing of the actual vote on the entire Zoning
Ordinance has not been set.
Public Forum Set on Proposed
Northampton Zoning Changes
Virginia Eastern Shorekeeper and Citizens for a
Better Eastern Shore (CBES) will host a community
forum Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. at the Eastville Fire Department Bingo Hall to educate the public on the proposed Northampton County zoning overhaul.

mit rape, a second-degree sex offense, a
third-degree sex offense and child abuse.
He was convicted in Accomack Circuit
Court in July 1990 of attempted object
sexual penetration, forcible sodomy and
carnal knowledge of a child younger
than 13. Muslimani served more than
five years in prison for those crimes.
More charges against Muslimani
involving another female relative were
filed recently in Somerset District
Court. He is accused of a second-degree sex offense, a third-degree sex offense, a fourth-degree sex offense and
a perverted practice charge occurring
between June 1, 1997, and Dec. 31,
2002, in Westover, Md. The maximum
sentence for those crimes is 41 years in
prison and $2,000 in fines.
That victim is now 29 years old. She
told police that the first incident happened when she was 12 in the living
room of a house that belonged to her
parents. She did not tell anyone because
“she was embarrassed and ashamed.”
She reported that he tried to have intercourse with her on other occasions
but never did, and forced oral sex on her
many times, the duration based on her
academic performance. The abuse continued until she was 17, she said.

Accomack Grand Jury
Two men were arrested this week in
connection with indictments handed
down by an Accomack Grand Jury.
Wayne Franklin Tyler Jr. of Daughtery Road in Accomac is being held
without bond on two counts of distributing cocaine for a second or subsequent offense on Oct. 28, 2013, and one
identical charge the next day. H. Little
of the Eastern Shore Drug Task Force
gave information to the jury about the
case earlier this month.
Byron Maurice Mears, 26, of Boston Road in Painter was arrested on
a count of selling cocaine on Sept. 18,
2013. Little testified. Mears was convicted four times before for selling or
possessing illegal drugs.
…………………………
Accomack Circuit Court
Two people involved in the meth
lab that was busted in Gargatha last
February pleaded guilty in Accomack
Circuit Court last week to conspiring
to manufacture the drug.
Victor Manuel Garced Jr., 30, and his
then fiancée, Christian Hope Hemphill,
24, lived near the lab on Lankford Highway when the crimes occurred. They
admitted to the offenses that occurred
between Dec. 6, 2013, and Feb. 14, 2014.
The maximum sentence is 40 years
plus a $100,000 fine.
Garced was remanded to Accomack
Jail to await completion of a presentence
report. He will be sent to the state Department of Corrections for evaluation.
Judge W. Revell Lewis III allowed
Hemphill to remain free on bond. A
presentence report also was ordered
for her.
William Allen Williams, 27, formerly of Music Circle in Gargatha was
considered the leader of the meth operation. He pleaded guilty to a charge
of manufacturing the drug and three
counts of making it while a minor was
present last month. In a plea bargain
the charge of conspiracy was not prosecuted. Williams’ did not testify.
His wife, Joanna Strickland, 26,
pleaded guilty the following week to
conspiracy to produce meth and three
charges — one for each child — to mak-
ing it while in the presence of minors.
Williams and Strickland are being
held in jail. They are scheduled for sentencing in February. They also will be
evaluated by the state.
Williams did not testify.
According to evidence, the drug was
made in the shed and inside in a bedroom, a bathroom and the kitchen of the
home where Williams and Strickland
lived with their daughters ages 3, 4 and 6.
In another case, Dalbert Perry Nedab Jr., 40, of Wachapreague pleaded
guilty to possessing cocaine on May, 6.
The crime involved about 4.5 grams of
white power found to contain cocaine
in six small bags. A presentence report
was ordered. Another count of possession with the intent to sell the drug
was continued until January.
…………………………
Accomack District Court
Probable cause was found Monday
in Accomack General District Court
and a charge of forcible rape was certified to a grand jury.
Ireneo Barrios-Lopez, 24, who lived
on Nursery Drive in Painter, was re-
turned to Accomack Jail following the
preliminary hearing.
He is charged with the Aug. 10
crime against a Painter woman who
identified Barrios-Lopez and said she
knew him.
Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney
Matthew Brenner motioned for Judge
Gordon Vincent to clear the courtroom
of spectators and a reporter “due to
the sensitive nature of the case.” After
Vincent, Brenner and defense lawyer
Sharri Mapp discussed the motion in
chambers, the judge asked eight of the
victim’s supporters who were not going
to testify to leave and allowed the reporter to stay.
The victim, who spoke through a
Spanish interpreter, said she was doing laundry that morning at her house
and left the door open as she was planning to go out to the clothesline.
She testified that Barrios-Lopez,
whom she has known for about three
years, came into her house drunk and
raped her.
“He pushed me on the couch and got
on top of me,” she said. “I started struggling with him … he started taking off
my clothes and I said ‘no.’ That’s when he
held me by the neck …. I struggled and
struggled … he was too strong for me.”
The victim also said the defendant
bit her and injured her arm and neck.
…………………………
According to records filed in Accomack General District Court, Keith
Thomas Lilliston Jr., 24, of Nelsonia
Road in Nelsonia is accused of robbing
Teresa Howard of Belle Haven at an
unnamed business on Oct. 25. A warrant says the crime was committed “by
means of violence, assault, putting the
victim in fear of serious bodily harm.”
A “gun or simulated gun” allegedly
was used.
Lilliston is being held without bail.
He was “on bond for related charges”
when he was arrested. Accomack Deputy C. Hodgson investigated.
Christina Snead, 42, of GF Horne
Assisted Living in Onancock was
charged with malicious wounding. The
file states she “repeatedly hit (the) victim over the head with a trophy causing multiple lacerations” on Oct. 28. Accomack Deputy J. Sharpe investigated.
Snead is being held without bond.

Want Higher Salaries
By Ron West
Northampton teachers are urging
Superintendent Eddie Lawrence to include additional funding for teachers
and staff members in the FY 2016 budget, which is currently being developed.
Several complained at last week’s
School Board session that soaring insurance costs and out-of-pocket classroom expenses are putting the squeeze
on them.
Northampton County Education
Association President Justin Webber
cited financial issues facing school employees, forcing them to dig into their
own pockets to pay for items needed
by their students. He urged the board
to include a step increase for all teachers and increase funding to help offset the rising cost of health care that
eats away at any pay increases. Webber stated that Northampton County
teachers currently rank 129th out of
132 school systems in Virginia. Information provided by Webber said the
average pay for teachers in the county
is $39,000, Accomack County’s average teacher pay is $44,000 and Virginia Beach’s is $47,000.
Webber also suggested that the policy of buying consumable instructional
materials that are good only for one
year is a waste of the limited funding.
He urged the board to purchase a site
license for computer software that is
available for instructional use, thus
allowing teachers to use the materials

for multiple years.
Occohannock kindergarten teacher
Julie Harrower was even more graphic in her assessment of the current
teacher pay situation. A 21-year veteran staffer, Harrower offered a look into
her own financial situation, as well as
at the actual time the job requires.
She said that most teachers, herself
included, arrive at school before 7 a.m.
and don’t get away before 5 p.m. Add
to that, Harrower said, that she then
spends two hours a night working on
assignments from students and plans
for the following day and spends at
least one day each weekend working on
the coming week’s lesson plans. Based
on her salary after taxes and $1,800
taken out each month for health insurance for her family, she calculated that
she earns $5.60 per hour.
With the low pay and heavy workload, Harrower said it is no surprise
that many teachers leave the county
in search of greener pastures.
Former Northampton teacher Cathleen Buyrn noted that she currently is
employed across the bay and even with
the transportation expenses, she fares
better because heath-insurance savings help offset the costs. “The Board
of Supervisors tends to listen when
people attend their sessions and speak
out on tax issues,” Buyrn noted, urging school employees to attend the sessions and speak out on the problems of
the school budget.

Shore Voters Go to Polls To Decide a Variety of Issues
By Linda Cicoira
Voters in Accomack and Northampton counties
will go to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 4, to cast their ballots in the race for U.S. Senate and Congress.
They also will help decide if a proposed state constitutional amendment regarding tax exemption for
the spouses of those killed in action while serving in
the armed forces will be passed. The spouses must
use the property as their place of residence and not
be remarried, according to the proposal.
In addition, a hot topic in Accomack is a referen-
Rigell
Patrick
dum regarding $3.5 million being requested from
the county for a new public library. The local group,
Friends of the Eastern Shore Library, has been campaigning aggressively for a “yes” vote, with signs
erected on dozens of front lawns.
Elections also will be held in Melfa and Painter.
Statewide voters will choose between Sen. Mark
R. Warner, a Democrat from Alexandria, and challengers Republican Ed W. Gillespie of Richmond and
Libertarian Robert C. Sarvis of Annandale.
In the 2nd Congressional District, which includes
the Eastern Shore, Democrat Suzanne D. Patrick of
Gillespie
Warner
Virginia Beach is challenging GOP Congressman E.
Scott Rigell of Virginia Beach.
In Melfa, Denise D. Bendick is running unopposed
for mayor. For council, Ann P. Elder, Woodrow C. Gaskins, Daniel F. Macca, David A. Peffer, John L. Thornton and James Wilson are running for the six seats.
In Painter, Mayor Connie Widgeon Campbell is
running for re-election. No one is challenging her.
For town council, Barry Chance Frey, Eric T. Harris,
Stephen J. Hearne, Kim Randall Savage, James N.
Sturgis and Thomas L. Willett are seeking the six
positions.

and the nation’s space program.”
According to reports, Orbital’s stock
fell 15.5 percent to a two-month low of
$25.65 in trade Tuesday night.
The mission was non-military, but
the company program manager, Mike
Pinkston, said the craft included “some
classified cryptographic equipment,
so we do need to maintain the area
around the debris in a secure manner.”
Local emergency response to the explosion included the two NASA-paid
stations on the base and 10 other companies. Units from Atlantic, Bloxom,
New Church, Greenbackville, Saxis
and Chinco
teague went to the site.
Two companies from Worcester County, Md., also responded along with Oak
Hall Rescue. Parksley moved up to cover northern Accomack areas. Workers
at Station Wallops Island were about
a half-mile away when the rocket exploded and were checked for hearing
loss, a spokesperson said.
“I probably have always been the
most skeptical person on the board
concerning Wallops and the activities
there,” Supervisor Grayson Chesser
said Wednesday. “I hope that if any
good comes out of this, it’s that people on the Shore realize this is dangerous. It does inconvenience a lot of
residents. And this is not something to
be taken lightly. They need to look at
how far this blast zone extends. They
need to understand what can happen
in that blast zone. If the people of the
Shore are willing to accept the dangers
and the inconveniences and the loss
of property values, so be it. But they
should understand. They should have
the facts.”
“I am sincerely thankful that it
wasn’t any worse than it was,” Chesser added. “But it … could easily have
been worse than what it was. I don’t
consider this a worst-case scenario.
This has done nothing but confirm my
worst fears.”
Wallops Director Bill Wrobel said,
“I want to praise the launch team,
range safety, all of our emergency responders and those who provided mutual aid and support on a highly-professional response that ensured the
safety of our most important resource
— our people.”
“In the coming days and weeks
ahead, we’ll continue to assess the
damage on the island and begin the
process of moving forward to restore
our space launch capabilities,” Wrobel
added. “There’s no doubt in my mind
we will rebound stronger than ever.”
“It will take many more weeks to
further understand and analyze the
full extent of the effects of the event,”
he continued. “A number of support
buildings in the immediate area have
broken windows and imploded doors.
A sounding rocket launcher adjacent
to the pad, and buildings nearest the
pad, suffered the most severe damage.”
At Pad 0A, an initial assessment
showed damage to the transporter
erector launcher and lightning suppression rods. There was also debris
around the pad.
The environmental team is continuing to conduct assessments at
the site. Preliminary observations
showed environmental effects “were
largely contained within the southern third of Wallops Island, in the
area directly adjacent to the pad. Immediately after the incident, the Wallops industrial hygienist collected
air samples at the Wallops mainland
area, the Highway 175 causeway, and
on Chincoteague Island. No hazardous substances were detected at the
sampled locations.”
Additional air, soil and water samples will be collected from the incident
area, as well as at control sites for com-
parative analysis. The Coast Guard and Virginia Marine Resources Commission reported
Wednesday there were no obvious
signs of water pollution, such as oil
sheens. Initial assessments have discovered no obvious impacts to fish or
wildlife resources.
Emergency vehicles respond to Tuesday’s evening explosion of an Antares rocket six seconds after liftoff.

Citizens for a Better Eastern
Shore’s Board of Directors has announced the hiring of a new executive
director, Donna Bozza.
Bozza is taking over for Denard
Spady, who is retiring after nearly
20 years as director. The 26-yearold, non-profit organization serves
Northampton and Accomack counties.
Its mission is dedicated to promoting balanced growth on the Eastern
Shore, while enhancing the quality
of life for all citizens, and preserving
natural resources.
This hiring reflects a change from
a part time to full-time director. It’s a
move made earlier by Virginia Eastern Shorekeeper (VES), which was established by CBES.
“We have been fortunate in being
able to hire, as our executive directors,
two people of exceptional qualifications: Jay Ford, who became the VES
executive director and Shorekeeperlast
last November, and now Donna Bozza,
the new executive director of CBES,”
said Jack Ordeman, board member
and past president of CBES, and president of Virginia Eastern Shorekeeper.
“We are confident that both organizations will increase their influence and
better fulfill the goals of their mission
statements under their capable and inspiring leadership.”
An award-winning writer, Bozza
worked as a reporter for the Eastern
Shore News covering local government and issues in both counties. More
recently, she held the position of executive director for ESO Arts Center.
Bozza was also the Shore’s first director of tourism with the Eastern Shore
of Virginia Tourism Commission. The
Virginia Association of Convention and
Visitors Bureau recognized Bozza with
its Rising Star Leadership Award.
Bozza lives in the Cape Charles
area with her husband, Jim, who has
produced Jim Baugh Outdoors TV for
25 years.
She will begin work immediately in
concert with the existing CBES staff
through a two-month transition period. Bozza will take up her full responsibilities in January.

CAPITAL LETTERS
By Sen.
Lynwood Lewis
I
want to thank the NASA
and Spaceport personnel
and all the security staff
as well as the emergency responders for all that they did
during Tuesday night’s tragedy to keep everyone safe. We
lost property, not people, and
that is an important perspective to maintain. Many people have worked very
hard on this important project and certainly, my
thoughts are with them. For those of us who have
been supportive and involved with the Spaceport
over the years, it was a somber evening.
I have spoken with Virginia Secretary of Transportation Aubrey Layne, whose Cabinet office encompasses the Spaceport and also with the governor’s deputy chief of staff, while Gov. McAuliffe was
traveling in Asia.
All of us are thankful
there was no injury or loss
of life. The immediate concern is assessing any environmental damage and the damage to the facility. I
attended a briefing at Wallops Wednesday afternoon
with NASA, the Spaceport, Orbital Sciences, Secretary Layne and Secretary of Public Safety Brian
Moran about those assessment efforts and the path
ahead.
I know that our Spaceport will and must continue to have an important role in the future of commercial space flight. For those of us who were there,
it is something that we will never forget and a stark
reminder that space flight is not ordinary, it is extraordinary, and occasionally when engaged in an
extraordinary enterprise the unexpected happens.
But undertaking the extraordinary is what has
made this country and this commonwealth great.
We will learn and we will press ahead because that
is who and what we are. Again, thanks to all who worked to keep everyone safe Tuesday night and to everyone who will be
working hard towards having our Spaceport facility
ready to launch again.

Class 4 Laser Treatment For
Peripheral Neuropathy
You may have been told that there is no
successful treatment for your peripheral
neuropathy symptoms. Most doctors are
not aware of a new treatment utilizing
a class 4 laser. Two Years ago, I opened
the third laser center in the United States specifically designed to treat patients with peripheral neuropathy. Since that
time, we have treated over 85 patients with symptoms of both
large and small neuropathy symptoms. 80% of those patients
experienced at least 80% relief. After the initial treatment plan,
just a few treatments per year will keep the symptoms at bay.
Call today for a free consult.

I
f you know decoys, you know the
name McNair.
Colin McNair says there have been
times in his position as an auction specialist at Copley Fine Art Auctions in
Boston, Mass., that he has been presented a Mark McNair decoy for evaluation.
“Usually the owner of the decoy will
do a double take and make the connection when they hear my name. Sometimes, I have to explain my father carved
this decoy,” said Colin earlier this week.
Colin was making last-minute prep
arations to travel the next day to the
Eastern Shore, where he will be a
speaker at the annual Fall Antiques
Show held at the Moose Lodge in Belle
Haven Saturday and Sunday. He also
will be available to evaluate decoys for
attendees.
Now with Copley Fine Art Auctions,
one of the world’s leading American
Sporting Art Auction companies, for
seven years, Colin’s forte is antique decoys and American sporting and wildlife paintings. He is pictured at right
holding one of the Eastern Shore’s finest decoys, a Nathan Cobb Jr. (18251905) swimming brant, circa 1880,
that Copley sold this July at auction
for $168,000.
The trip this week will give Colin a
rare opportunity to visit his home place
in Craddockville and spend time with
his parents, Mark and Martha McNair.
Mark McNair is recognized as one
of the top decoy carvers in the nation.
Hunting & Fishing Collectibles Magazine once described the elder McNair in
this way, “Today, many experts regard
Mark McNair as one of the top five decoy carvers in the country, one whose
works fetch thousands of dollars.”
Mark was influenced by early carvers such as Ira Hudson and the Ward
SPORTS
Colin McNair Knows His Decoys
Brothers.
Today, it’s the works of those carvers and other early masters that Colin
evaluates for potential auction by Copley. Colin has appraised Ward Brothers decoys that have brought up to
$80,000.
But the record amount was paid for
decoys sold by the founder of Copley
Fine Arts Auction, Stephen O’Brien Jr.
A goose and pintail decoy pair carved by
A. Elmer Crowell, a New Englander who
lived from 1862-1952, brought a staggering $1.13 million each. Crowell’s decoys
are consistently regarded as the finest
and most desirable decoys ever made.
It was only natural Colin’s interest
turned to decoys at an early age.
“For five years as an elementary
school student, I was home-schooled.
When I finished my studies,” Colin
recalled, “I would hang around my father’s carving shop. I think I carved my
first decoy about the age of 8. As I got
into high school at Northampton, I was
usually carving if I wasn’t wrestling.
And in the summers, if I wasn’t fishing,
I was carving. Obviously, growing up as
I did was a huge influence on me.”
Also growing up and being homeschooled for three years with Colin was
his older brother by five years, Ian, who
today is an accomplished decoy carver
living in Charlottesville with his wife.
An older sister, Delana, lives in England with her husband.
Colin, 28, is engaged to a nurse in
the Boston area and will be married
next fall.
“Living in Boston was an huge adjustment for me at first,” said Colin. “I
was used to walking out the front door
and having nature and the water all
around me with no people in sight. But
now that I’ve acclimated myself to city
life, it’s not so bad.”
Colin often will travel to major
shows throughout the year, and though
he doesn’t get to the Shore very often,
he occasionally sees his parents and
brother, who are attending the same
shows. Colin still carves decoys but not
as much as he would like due to the
demands of his job.
One of the major shows is in Charleston, S.C., where he attended the College
of Charleston and received degrees in
biology and studio art. He also attended
Lyme Academy College of Fine Art in
Old Lyme, Conn., where the McNair
family has numerous relatives.
“You can say decoys run throughout
our family,” said Colin.
Colin will speak at the 61st
Fall Antique Show sponsored by
Riverside Memorial Hospital on
Saturday, Nov. 1, at 2 p.m. He
will speak on the topic of wildlife
art, including decoys, prints and
paintings.
McNair, through Copley, also
will be displaying a rare hissing
brant by Nathan Cobb Jr. and
a decorative curlew by A. Elmer
Crowell. Copley also will offer
complimentary valuations of decoys and sporting art. To arrange

Hunters for Hungry
Announce Locations
The Eastern Shore Chapter of Hunters for the Hungry announces the start
of receiving deer donations to the program this year.
Since 1997, the program has received and processed over 4,000 deer
donations. The deer donated have been
processed into over 500,000 servings of
this lean meat to clients of the Foodbank of the Eastern Shore and other
agencies. There is no charge to the
hunter to donate the deer. The deer
must be properly harvested and registered, field dressed and taken to one
SPORTS SHORTS
of the processors or collection points.
The goal this year is 200 deer.
The program raises funds from local individuals, businesses and civic
organizations to pay the processing
cost of the deer. This year, the cost of
processing has increased slightly from
$45 to $47 a deer. The processors help
the program by processing the deer at
almost half their regular cost.
Thanks to a $5,000 donation this year,
as in the past few years, from the Aquaculture Industry of the Willis Wharf
area, the program was able to purchase
a new collection trailer this season.
The processors this year are (from
north to south): Matthews Market
on Lankford Highway in Mappsville
(skinned deer only) during regular
business hours, 824-3061; Matt Killmon, Buck Trails, 26311 Mt. Nebo Rd.,
Onancock, 787-7984; Brent Powell,
Powell Processing, 21397 Trower Rd.,

Chinco Drops First in 56-50 OT Heartbreaker
Story and photos by Bill Sterling
On Monday morning, Chincoteague
coach Nick Howard conceded it had
been a long weekend following his Ponies’ 56-50 loss in overtime to Fuqua,
the top-ranked team in Division IV of
the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association.
“We’ve looked at the film and
thought about how a play here or there
could have changed the outcome,” Howard said. “It’s been tough, but it’s getting better. The main thing is the kids
played as hard as we could ask for. We
are going to take all the positives we
can from this. Last year when we were
0-4, I would never have dreamed we
would win our next 12 games. We’ve
come a long way when we are disappointed about an overtime loss to a
team as good as Fuqua.”
Something else Howard could have
never imagined is his team compiling
557 yards in offense and scoring 50
points, yet coming away with its first
loss of the season before what Howard
believes was the largest crowed he had
ever seen for a Chincoteague football
game in his 12 years of coaching.
In the second quarter alone, the two
teams put up a combined 51 points.
The only problem for Chincoteague
was that Fuqua was converting its extra points with successful kicks, but
the Ponies failed to convert any 2-point
attempts after their first seven touchdowns. “We had been successful on more
than 50 percent of our 2-point conversions and only 25 percent of our kicks.
The play was there for a bunch of them,
but we just missed and then had penalties on two attempts,” said Howard.

But the big blow to Chincoteague’s
chances was the sprained ankle that sent
senior Anthony Wailes to the sidelines early in the second quarter, never to return.
At that juncture, Wailes had rushed
for 121 yards on four carries, including
touchdown runs of 79 and 30 yards. The
double-edged attack that included junior
Gardner Fosque, who eventually rushed
for 228 yards on 25 carries for five touchdowns, was just too much for Fuqua to
handle. But without Wailes, the Falcons
could concentrate on Fosque, though
they could hardly stop him.
“The biggest loss with Wailes was on
defense,” said Howard. “He’s our leading tackler. We had him shadowing their
number 7 (Josh Davis), and he was doing a great job of containing him. Davis
is 6’,3”, 215 pounds, and the player we
sent in to replace Wailes was 5’,6”, 120
pounds. We don’t have the depth at a
small school like ours to replace someone like Anthony,” said Howard.
Davis would score five touchdowns
for Fuqua, including the game winner
in overtime, and run for 145 yards and
add another 70 receiving. Davis is also
a fifth-year senior, and eligibility issues have swirled around him this season at Fuqua, setting off meetings and
rulings as late as this week.
Quarterback Larry Harper helped
to make up the loss of Wailes by completing five of nine passes for 151 yards,
including a 51-yard touchdown pass to
Kyle Gentry on a fourth-and-six play in
the second quarter. Harper also scored
on a quarterback sneak. Fullback Cody
Britton helped to move the chains with
several good runs. Fuqua had 226 yards
passing by quarterback Devin Allen.
Collin Derrickson had a big interception in the first half, and Tyler Mettler led the Ponies with six tackles.
Fosque gave the Ponies a lift going
into halftime with an interception of a
pass from Fuqua’s Allen, returning it 29
yards for a touchdown. Thus, after trailing 7-6 after the first quarter, Chincoteague led 36-28 at halftime following the
explosive second quarter by both teams.
The Ponies took the opening kickoff
of the second half and and scored on a
Fosque six-yard run to increase their
lead to 42-28.
Later, an 80-yard apparent touch-
Gardner Fosque runs for some of the 228 yards he compiled in 25 carries
Friday night in a 56-50 overtime loss to Fuqua.
down run by Fosque was nullified by a
holding penalty.
Coach Howard pointed to that play
and Chincoteague’s final offensive play
as changing the complexion of the game.
Fuqua scored with less than a minute remaining to draw within 2 points,
and after kicking six consecutive extra
points, ran for 2 points on a Davis run to
force overtime.
On Chincoteague’s fourth play in
overtime, Fosque caught a pass, broke
a tackle and reached for the goal line.
The referee initially signaled touchdown, but then changed the call, saying Fosque was stopped short before
fumbling the ball across the goal line.
“Although it is not the best angle, I
felt the film showed Gardner was clearly
in the end zone before his knee touched
or he lost the ball,” said Howard. “But
we had plenty of other chances for the
game not to get to that point.”
Davis ended the game two plays later on a six-yard touchdown run, giving
Fuqua a 56-50 overtime win and the
Ponies their first defeat of the season.
Chincoteague, now 7-1, travels tonight
to Greenbrier Christian, a Division III
VISAA school that is 4-5 with losses to
prep powerhouses such as Bishop Catholic and Nansemond-Suffolk Academy.

Nandua Nips Arcadia 15-13, Claims District Title
Story and photos by Bill Sterling
All the scoring in Nandua’s 15-13
win over Arcadia Friday night took
place in the first half. Apparently, all of
the fireworks took place in that half as
well, as an incident between Nandua
coaches on the sidelines led to the suspension of head coach Chris Miles and
assistant coach Craig Kelly. (See story
below, right.)
Nandua’s Jakorah Parker dashed 43
yards on the Warriors’ first offensive
play of the game for a quick 7-0 lead in
front of Arcadia’s Homecoming crowd.
Tyreim Blake also scored for Nandua
on a six-yard run. On the extra-point
attempt, a mishandled snap resulted
in a pass to Mahagee Wise for a 2-point
conversion.
Blake added a short touchdown run,
with Trevor Wessells kicking the extra
point for a 13-0 lead.
Arcadia’s two scores came on a
three-yard run by Contrel Brown and a
12-yard scoring pass from quarterback
Josh Sanns to Eric Grinnage. Logan
Godwin kicked the extra point after
the first touchdown, but Arcadia went
for 2 points after the second touchdown in an attempt to tie the score.
The failed attempt, which proved to be
the difference in the game, left Nandua
in the lead 15-13.
The Firebirds opened the second half
with a long drive that saw them facing
a fourth-and-goal from the 4-yard line.
After an Arcadia timeout, Brown was

stuffed at the line of scrimmage, giving
Nandua possession at its own 4.
Firebird coach Tony Nock said he
considered attempting a field goal with
Godwin, who earlier in the year scored
the decisive points in an Arcadia JV
win with a 37-yard field goal. “Contrel
had been dragging tacklers for three
or four yards all night, and I thought
the worst that would happen is that
Nandua would have the ball on their
own 1-yard line. But a lineman missed
a block, and Contrel was hit as soon
as he got the ball. In thinking about
the field goal attempt, we just barely
made the extra point attempt, and I
was concerned we might not hold them
out long enough to get the kick off, and
Nandua could get the ball in much better field position,” said Nock.
Nandua took the ball from its 4yard line and drove the length of the
field, only to be stopped in the red zone.
Arcadia took over on downs and made
another long drive before a fumble at
the 25-yard line ended the drive.
Nandua’s next drive consumed the
last 7:13 of the clock, with the game
ending with the Warriors inside the
10-yard line. Thus, the second half consisted of each team having the ball for
two drives.
“It was the same old story for us,”
said Coach Nock. “A play here and
there kept us out of the win column.
We have played hard this year and
deserve more than one win, but little
things keep hurting us.”
For Nandua, Blake had 145 yards
on 19 carries and also passed for 121
yards, completing four of seven passes.
Parker added 98 yards on the ground.
Arcadia was led by Travon Copes
with 106 yards on 11 carries and Jamal Savage with 82 yards on seven
carries. Brown added 76 yards on 13
carries. Sanns was 4 of 9 for 79 yards.
Defensively, Nandua was led by Will
Farlow with 13 tackles and Hunter
Cooper with 10.
Rickie Shrieves led the Firebirds
with eight tackles while Keyandre
Bundick had seven.
Nandua, now the district champs,
hosted Northampton last night, while
Arcadia played host to Kent County in
games completed after deadlines.

Nandua Head Coach,
Assistant Suspended
An altercation occurred between
two Nandua coaches over the manner
in which the head coach treated the assistant coach’s player son on the Nandua sideline at the end of the first half
at Arcadia Friday night.
The school system later released the
following statement:
“Accomack County Public Schools
has suspended the Nandua High
School football coach and one assistant
coach following an incident at the Arcadia Football game. … The incident is
currently under investigation.
“The safety and welfare of our students is always top priority in Accomack County Public Schools,” said
Superintendent Dr. Kregg Cuellar,
“Since this is a personnel matter, the
Code of Virginia precludes me from
making any specific comments.”
Nandua principal Brian Patterson
said assistant coaches Tom Rotkowski
and Deitrick Downing will be assuming the role of co-interim head coaches
for the remainder of the season.

Northampton Wins Boys’, Girls’ Cross Country District Titles
Northampton won the boys’ Eastern
Shore District cross country meet Friday at Chincoteague National Wildlife
Refuge.
Coordinated by Tom Wilson, a former Arcadia cross country coach, the
race requires runners to complete the
three-mile wildlife loop.
Nandua’s Evan Lawrence was first to
make the circle with a time of 17:21. Arcadia had the next three runners with
Logan Godwin in 17:24, Hector Cime in
18:12 and Tahre Pettit in 18:29.
Northampton won the team title
through superior depth as runners 5
through 13 were all from Northampton.
That depth gave Northampton 35
points, enough to edge out Arcadia
with 39 points, followed by Nandua
with 59 points.
Mawyer Garvis led the Jacket runners with a time of 18:40, followed by
Jose Palacia, 6th-18:56; Noah Leffel
7th-18:57; James Teeling, 8th-19:02;
Arturo Gildo, 9th-19:13; Sammy Pineda, 10th-19:55; Billy Martinez, 11th20:09; Matthew Justice, 12th - 20:30;
and Brian Terron, 14th-20:35.
Nandua’s Matthew Teasley was
14th in 20:45.
Jacket Girls Win
The Northampton girls also finished
first, again using superior depth to
edge Arcadia 26 to 32 points, followed
by Nandua with 62 points.
Northampton’s Erica Head was the
top girl runner in 21:07, with Arcadia’s
Celeste Briones and Rachal Lankford
finishing second and third, respectively, in 23:06 and 23:26. The Northampton girls took the next three places in
an almost dead heat as Caroline Hiler
was timed in 23:29 and Alex and Hayley Marshall both finished in 23:30.
Rounding out the top 10 were Sophia
Siemenski, 24:19, and Jo Fuller, 24:39,
both from Arcadia, and Ellie Harvie
of Nandua, ninth in 25:01, and Cecilia
Cruz of Northampton, 10th in 24:09.
Coach Rich Wilfong said he was
proud of both his boys’ and girls’
teams, adding that they have worked
hard this season.

Jackets Stay Unbeaten in District with 5-Setter Over Warriors
The Northampton volleyball team
defeated Nandua for the third time
this season Monday, but this time it
took five sets as both teams played at a
high level. The Lady Jackets had swept
the Warriors in their first meeting and
took four sets to earn a win in the second meeting.
Nandua stormed to a big lead in the
first set Monday and held on to win 2520 before the Lady Jackets dominated
the second set to win 25-10. The Warriors rebounded to take the third set
25-21 before Northampton took the final two sets 25-16 and 15-12.
“I thought both teams played really
hard,” said Jacket coach Cathy Doughty. “It is tough for a team to have to go
home disappointed when everyone out
on that floor is playing with so much
heart. Coach Sabatino has done a great
job with her team and I have a ton of
respect for her program. It came down
to the last few points in that final set,
and we found a way to grind that one
out and come away with the win. I am
so proud of my team and how they
played together last night. They are really working well as a unit out there,”
added Doughty.
Taylor Webb had 14 kills, 10 assists,
seven digs and six aces for the Jackets.
Kennedy Webb had 11 kills and 11 assists, nine digs and three aces. Taylor
Nadeau had eight kills and three aces.
Ashlyn Arnold, Monique Ayers and Angela Head all had seven digs.
For Nandua, Shyanne Gordon had
nine kills and four blocks; Kimberly
Wert had one ace, 14 digs and five kills;
Ashley Fisher had 13 assists, four digs
and an ace; Caroline Harvie had 12
digs, two aces and two kills; Sarah Puchalski had 14 digs and two kills; and

assists and four digs; and Taylor Webb
had five kills, seven assists, four aces
and four digs. Evelyn Dunton and Taylor Nadeau had four kills each.
Nandua Holds Dig Pink Night
On Tuesday night, Nandua held its
Senior Night and Dig Pink Night “It
was a great success. We would like
to thank everyone who came out and
supported us,” said Warrior coach
Le’Andra Sabatino.
Nandua defeated Chincoteague with
out dropping a set before meeting Arcadia in an exhibition game.
The Lady Warriors took the three
sets 25-15, 25-12 and 25-12.
Caroline Harvie had three aces, five
digs and six kills. Sarah Puchalski had
one ace, six digs and six kills. Ashley
Fisher had three aces and 13 assists.

Arcadia Third in Conference Cheerleading
Arcadia placed third in the Conference 33 Cheerleading Tournament last
week and now advances to the regional
cheerleading tournament on Saturday
at East Rockingham High School.
Arcadia placed second at the conference tournament, but was knocked down
to third due to a 10-point deduction. Arcadia had to replace a male cheerleader
just prior to competing because of an injury that occurred in the warm-ups.
“It’s wonderful as a coach to see your
team pull together and fight versus giving up. King William did an amazing
job, and absolutely deserved first place,”
said Arcadia coach Melissa Matthews.
Nandua placed fifth and did not advance to the regional tournament.
It was a sea of pink as Nandua and Arcadia volleyball players competed
Tuesday at a Breast Cancer Awareness Night held at Nandua. Earlier,
Chincoteague played Nandua.
Broadwater Advances to Finals

23 first set, then came back to win 2616 and 25-23. Isle of Wight forced the
fifth set with a 25-19 win before Broadwater took the fifth decisive set 15-11.
“The back line produced good passes
to Katelyn Hill, our setter. She was
right on target with her sets and our
hitters had a great night,” said Viking
coach Kim Laxton.
“It was an exciting game and the
team really jelled. Seniors Kathleen
Kraft, Jenna Hare, and Hannah Coulbourne had the best game of their season,” added Laxton, who noted the win
came without starter Heather Custis,
who suffered a sprained ankle in a previous game.
Kraft had 23 kills, 70 digs and three
aces; Hare had 16 kills, 12 blocks, eight
digs, and two aces; Anna Sexauer had
seven kills, two blocks, and 28 digs;
Kellam Addison had 11 digs, two assists, and a kill; and Katelyn Hill had

Kraft had five kills, 12 digs and an
ace. Sexauer had six kills. Hare had
two kills, five blocks and an ace. Hill
had 13 assists and three aces. Kellam
had 11 digs.
Broadwater Takes Forfeit, Faces Fuqua Tonight
Broadwater accepted a football forfeit from Brunswick Academy Saturday to raise its record to 5-3. Broadwater coach Noble Palmer said Brunswick
officials called late in the week and
said their squad was too depleted by
injuries to field a competitive team.
Broadwater is ranked third in the
Division IV football rankings for the
Virginia Independent Schools Athletic
Association. The top four advance to the
state playoffs, with the top two teams
hosting first-round games. The Vikings
travel tonight to meet Fuqua, a 56-50
winner over Chincoteague last week.
Fuqua is ranked first in the Division
IV standings and will pose a formidable challenge for the Vikings.
“Whether we make the playoffs depends on how we do, but also how the

Supervisors Made Promises
Dear Editor:
Anyone reading or hearing recent local media
comments from certain Accomack County supervisors might conclude that there is doubt regarding
their support for a new library. These supervisors
are fully prepared to support a new library and their
own words prove it.
At the July 16th supervisors’ meeting, when the
library referendum was discussed and approved, the
following statements were made: Supervisor Robert
Crockett said, “If the results of this referendum, and
hear me well, show that the people of Accomack County
are in support of this library, I’ll lead the charge. If the
vote is in the affirmative, I’ll lead the charge. I think
there’d be a 9 to 0 vote to support it.” Supervisor Wanda
Thornton said, “I do also agree that, if the public wants
it, I would definitely vote for it.” Supervisor Grayson
Chesser said, “If it passes, it passes, and I would certainly support it.” Supervisor Laura Belle Gordy said,
“If this referendum comes out that the public wants it,
whether it’s only 30 people that vote, not 30 percent,
but 30 people, I will support whatever they want.”
So, the mission for Accomack County voters is
clear. If you want a new library to provide better service to the public, a more acceptable workplace for library staff, and an appealing local amenity to attract
visitors, residents, and businesses to our county, vote
yes in the library referendum on Nov. 4. Your affirmative vote is all that’s needed to make it happen.
Haydon Rochester, Onancock
Supervisor Sticks by Claims
Dear Editor:
On March 2, 2011, Shore Bank deeded 5.77 acres
to the Eastern Shore Public Library, a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The library
is tax exempt, so no taxes were paid on the transaction, nor have any taxes been paid on the value of the
land since. I have no knowledge whether Shore Bank
received a tax write-off for donating the land. A copy
of the deed, as well as other documents associated
with this transaction, are public information available in the Clerk of the Court’s office.
I also obtained a copy of the library audit, a copy of
the capital improvement needs for Accomack County,
a report from the county’s finance officer, a copy of an
email from Carol Vincent stating that the Eastern
Shore Public Library owns the library in Accomack
and Nassawadox, as well as the deed. The library
requested additional funds of $100,000 to operate
a new library; everything is documented. I can substantiate every statement I made in the newspaper.
One thing I did neglect to tell the public is that it
will cost Accomack taxpayers $257,536 per year, for 20
years, to pay the debt on $3,500,000 for a new library.
If you add the operational cost of $346,000 that Accomack is now providing to the library, the total cost
would be $603,536 per year or $50,294 per month.
I challenge Frank Hall to prove to our residents that
my statements in the newspaper were rife and inaccurate as he stated. My information to the public concerning the library bond referendum was to provide them
with factual information, which I hope the Library
Board would want everyone to have. Frank Hall is the
one spreading false information and personal attacks.
Wanda Thornton, District 1 Supervisor
Library With ESCC Not Feasible
Dear Editor:
The feasibility of a joint library was discussed
with Supervisor Robert Crockett, Supervisor Reneta
Major, and County Administrator Dr. Steve Miner
at a joint supervisor/library trustee meeting Oct.
24, 2013. Crockett also has met with Eastern Shore
Community College (ESCC) President Dr. Linda
Thomas-Glover and hopefully he understands her
concerns about a joint library.
A request for including a public library in ESCC’s
new building project would need to come from the
county supervisors, not the Library Board. The state
would not enter into a contract with the library because we do not have an independent means of funding. The supervisors would need to make a financial
commitment for initial design, construction, and ongoing maintenance and improvements and promptly
coordinate with the Virginia Community College
System (VCCS), in conjunction with obtaining Dr.
Glover’s agreement and cooperation. A joint library
is not a “no-cost-to-the-county” library.
The previous and current chairs of the Library
Board have discussed the possibility of a joint project with Dr. Glover. In addition, Dr. Glover formerly
served on the Eastern Shore Public Library Foundation and did not think the benefits of a joint project
outweighed the challenges and expenses.
ESCC expects to receive funding for an academic
building that will include classrooms, labs, the Learning Resource Center, academic computer labs, student
service areas and administrative areas. Any delay due
to securing funding for a public library space could
jeopardize ESCC’s position in the queue for funding.
Barbara Coady, Machipongo
Of Course We Need Library
Dear Editor:
Well do we need it or not? Of course we do. All
you have to do is be a person who USES the library
to know that! A good library can be a lifeline for a
community, especially in a “remote rural community”
such as the Eastern Shore!
Take care when you’re voting though — the language on the ballot is tricky, “Shall the County incur
debt of $3,500,000.00 to build a library here?” This is
a scare tactic and is meant to confuse voters. Please
alert your friends. Accomack County’s Director of Finance Mike Mason has verified that funds are avail-
able. In fact, Accomack County has $10 million set
aside for county projects such as this.
Personally, I can’t wait to see you at our new library,
so visible and convenient to walk to for some or when
coming to town! Books are still in! Let’s go read, study,
write a résumé, check out some books, see what’s new
in the world, see friends, meet new friends.
All the negativity! Why? We can do this, if we vote
on Nov. 4. Do yourself a favor. Vote for yourself and
vote yes. Let those who do not want a new library
stay home and do what they do; that’s OK.
Remember to bring a photo ID to the polls. If you
need one, they are $10 at DMV.
Betsy Pinder, via email
Vote Libertarian on Tuesday
Dear Editor:
If Robert Sarvis, the Libertarian candidate for
U.S. Senate, gets 10 percent of the votes this Tuesday,
that will allow the Libertarian Party of Virginia to
have “major party” status. That’s important because
then Libertarians will be included in the debates.
The Republicans and Democrats have issues that
neither want to discuss, where they are both culpable
— civil liberties and the growth of the surveillance
state, corrupt government and crony capitalism, federal debt, endless foreign wars. The debates would
have been much more informative if Sarvis had been
included and was able to bring up these issues.
All I’m hearing is that Sarvis can’t win. Maybe
not; however, it would be a wake-up call to both parties that at least 10 percent of the voters get it and
are willing to send the message. Say no to politics-asusual with a vote for Robert Sarvis.
Yvonne Bagwell, Eastville
We Deserve a New Library
Dear Editor:
There has been much debate about the library referendum being voted on next Tuesday. There have also been a
lot of factual inconsistencies. The Library Board held public hearings before and after tentative floor plans were
drawn up. At these hearings and at supervisors’ meetings, both the public and supervisors were fully briefed
as to the many options considered, including buying
adjacent land and expanding the existing building, alternate use of both private and public buildings and
location at other properties. I attended these meetings
and can state that two of the supervisors who seem to
have selective amnesia were present at more than one.
Through some adroit political maneuvering, a
few supervisors chose not to vote on the funding for
the new library, but rather to let the “people decide”
through a referendum, knowing full well that Accomack citizens have virtually never voted in favor of
such a referendum. Well, the time has come to voice
your opinion through your vote.
Accomack County has 18 “peer counties” to which
the supervisors compare themselves, roughly half of
which are poorer with worse economic indicators. For
decades, Accomack has been at the bottom of this list
for funding its library system. There is an opportunity
now to correct some of that without raising taxes.
While apparently all the supervisors support the
library, not all agree how it should be done. As public
officials, they should remain neutral once a referendum has been proposed; two, however, have chosen
to publicly oppose it and try to tell you how to vote.
The supervisor, who presented the referendum and
claims to be for a new library has made speeches and
even radio spots recommending against his referendum. What does he propose as a solution? He thinks
the community college should build a new library
headquarters and provide 80 percent of the funding.
Now ask yourself: Why would they do that when their
budgets have been slashed? and Do you want a state
agency controlling your local library system?
Even if you do not use the library, we all benefit from
its services. Its cultural programs, information services
and historic collections reflect on our community.
I encourage you to talk to your friends and neighbors and email your contacts asking them to show up
and vote yes on the library referendum.
John Callander, Onancock
Democratic Committee Backs Items
Dear Editor:
The Accomack County Democratic Committee urges a yes vote on both questions on the Nov. 4 ballot.
The committee decided that borrowing $3.5 million
to help pay for a new library would be a sound, longterm investment that can be made without raising
taxes. A new library would attract new employers and
increase the efficiency of current library operations.
Unlike many proposed county capital projects, a new
library would be an educational benefit available to all.
The other question is a Proposed Constitutional
Amendment that offers property tax relief to the surviving spouse of a member of the armed forces who
was killed in action. In endorsing this proposal, the
committee concluded that the tight eligibility restrictions would have a minimal effect on revenues for the
county, but could provide needed relief for survivors of
those who gave the last full measure of devotion.
Parker C. Dooley, MD, Melfa
Can We Afford Library?
Dear Editor:
I have been reading some of the newspaper articles and seeing some signs in yards that are asking
the people of Accomack County to vote for the funding of a new county library.
I understand that Eastern Shore Library has requested that the county spend $3.5 million to build a
new one. I also understand that they plan on getting
the rest of the money somewhere else. The problem
with that is once the county commits to the funding,
it will have to go along with any increases the library
asks for if the money cannot be found anywhere else.
I am not saying I am against a new library, but the
tax increase would be more than most people in the
county would be willing to give, yet Northampton is not
asked to come up with anything; it’s all on Accomack.
As it is, Accomack is going to have to pay Perdue
back hundreds of thousands of dollars in overpaid taxes, and I don’t know where they are going to find that
money, without raising the tax rate. And let’s not forget
Tyson, which at the moment is sitting on the sidelines
and will probably be following suit any day now.
The Virginia Beach Library and community collage got together and built a large new library, and
the state paid over 80 percent of the cost. I think this
is the approach Eastern Shore Library should take
before asking the people of Accomack County to come
up with millions of dollars.
You have to remember that we live in Accomack
County not Loudoun County.
Ed Bishop, Pungoteague
More Discussion Needed
Dear Editor:
I oppose the Friends of the Library (FL) plan for
a grand new edifice, but I will vote yes on Nov. 4 to
help keep the discussion alive toward a superior plan
for library services that would include citizens who
want access but are not now served.
Proponents cite a survey, but I have reviewed that
survey and it is so flawed as to be inadequate for
justifying even what the FL propose.
The FL project has not been justified by the standard
requirements for any capital investment: clear mission
and identification of market to be served, and a set of
achievable objectives and plans, with capital and operating costs associated. FL has not done this properly, so
their proposed plan does not deserve public funding.
That does not mean there is no need for improved
library services, including to a broader community
than is now reached, and that is a topic on which discussion should continue. A yes vote does not obligate
the supervisors to take on any particular debt; the
referendum is not binding, according to the county
attorney who, I believe, drafted the language.
Alan Silverman, Onancock
Consider Congressional Candidates
Dear Editor:
The election is a week away, and we have a choice
to either re-elect or change our Congressional representation, and for a bond referendum on the library.
For our senatorial representation we have a chance
to re-elect Mark Warner, a career-minded politician
who tries to make himself into a moderate while hiding
the fact that he voted 88 percent of the time with his
real boss, Harry Reid. Warner also backed his bigger
boss, Barack Obama fully, including voting yea on the
Affordable Care Act. He also is the second richest member in Congress. His Republican opposition is Ed Gillespie, a major Republican political operative who has
never run for public office. His skeleton in the closet is
that he was a lobbyist for Enron. The third candidate
(yes, there is one) is Rob Sarvis, a Libertarian who un-
successfully ran for governor against Terry McAuliffe.
Rob makes more sense than both the other candidates,
but unless I feel confident that the other candidates are
equally horrible, I will be throwing my vote away.
Once again, this senatorial election is not about
electing someone I am comfortable with, but voting
against those I think are bad for the country.
For our representative, we have the choice of Republican incumbent Scott Rigell, pretty much a rankand-file conservative who has shown a bit of wavering
on positions when the tide of public opinion starts to
turn, and Democrat Suzanne Patrick, a former Navy
commander with no public service experience. She
currently owns her own consulting business, which
provides “investment banking and technology search
and strategy consulting to corporate clients.” I’m not
sure what that even means. Once again, am I voting
for a candidate or against an ideology?
The last topic is our highly publicized library bond
referendum. As most people, I don’t think there is a
question of whether we need it. The question is should
we go into this much debt? I honestly believe the final
cost to taxpayers has been sugar-coated. I had heard
about the possibility of joining with the community
college some time ago, and applaud Supervisor Robert
Crockett for bringing it up. I only wish he had brought
it up some time ago so it could have been brought into
the discussion earlier. I’ve been conflicted on this library referendum. I read Vote Yes committee member
Frank Hall’s letter in last week’s paper, and frankly, I
was turned off by the tone. For someone on the fence,
you may want to consider the possibility that your
scathing letter may have hurt your cause. I do expect
that whatever the outcome of this referendum, all of
our supervisors will honor the will of the people. That’s
what a referendum is, and I’m starting to think a lot
more government decisions should be on referendum.
Patrick Belote, Onancock
How ’Bout a Digital Library?
Dear Editor:
Ever since Al Gore invented the Internet, we have
gone roaring into the digital age. Some refuse to participate, but 87 percent of us are connected to the
worldwide web in one way or another. The younger
generation has already cast its votes for digital; just
ask them when they take a break from social media.
Any smart phone, Kindle or tablet is a hand-held
library and a gateway to the world of accumulated
knowledge, open 24 hours a day. Old Ben Franklin
would surely ditch his kite for Wi-Fi and a chance
to visit the Cloud while his library is lending tablet
readers containing hundreds of titles. The proposed
library bond is to finance what? There is no plan!
A no vote is not an anti-library vote. It is a vote
to step back and rethink this issue. Do we need a
library of the past or of the future? The Amish still
drive buggies but have iPhones. Maybe we should
consider an all-digital library.
