Fire swept through a Keller duplex Tuesday morning after an occupant
left a stove unattended, according to a fire official. Chief Randy Parker of
Melfa Volunteer Fire & Rescue said the blaze was reported at about 10:40
a.m. Units from Melfa, Painter and Wachapreague responded. It took
between 15 and 20 minutes to control the blaze. No one was injured.
Smoke, fire and water damage resulted on the left side of the duplex
where the fire started, leaving the family homeless. The other side had
smoke damage. Bystanders said a neighbor ran into the other unit to
alert the residents of the fire. The house belongs to Jeff Doughty of Melfa.

on a local community management and
policy team. About 20 citizens stood up
to show their support for Major. Painter
Town Council also gave her the nod.
Being defeated in the last election
by McCaleb gave her time for reflection, Major said. “I don’t look on that
as a loss. It gave me the opportunity to
do some self introspection,” she told
the board last week. “I’ve gained maturity in thinking and analyzing situations. I believe I have the experience,
fortitude, time and most of all the
heart.” Major said she has a “passion”
for the job, which is needed.
Crockett asked her why she thinks
she lost to McCaleb. “I could rationalize and say special-interest groups or

Reneta Major.”
She conceded that she “could have
taken for granted” that she would be
elected and “not letting people know
what I stood for … I have changed … I
am more independent. I like who I am.
I want people to see Reneta Major, not
Julia Major.”
The new supervisor said she will
follow “my own gut because that’s who
I have to live with.” The devout Baptist
added that she will continue to pray
and “seek wisdom from God.” With
respect to spending taxpayers’ money,
Major said she would use the same
method she uses with personal
finances — separating “need” from
“want. We’re all in survival mode. I
believe I can make wise decisions.”
Major said the upcoming redistricting
measures interest her and she wants to
provide input on the proposed budget.
The supervisors set that document
for public hearing while District 9 was
without representation. Now the budget can only be cut unless the board readvertises it.
Major said her greatest accomplishment in her previous term was helping
residents of Lynnhaven Circle get
decent roads so they could gain access
to services, including ambulances.
She said she is “not a proponent of
raising taxes.” But, she added, “You
either want the services or not. I
believe you have to find other avenues,
other resources, in order to get more.”
“I’m not for big growth either,” she
continued. “We don’t live in an eighttrack world anymore.” She said compromise is needed to attract business.
“We’re going to have to let something
come in,” she said.
Edwards, who has lived in the district for about a decade, said his petition included the signatures of people
from all walks of life. “I am the most
up-to-speed and qualified for the seat.”

regarding a 2008 lawsuit against the

will want it corrected. It just means I

make a board bad.” He said a better job
needs to be done on collecting delinquent taxes and the high cost of educating students needs to be addressed.
Former Supervisor Ken Tucker, who
wrote a letter of his intent to seek the
seat, decided against doing so.
Barney Selph of Belle Haven asked
the supervisors to appoint him. The
Cape Charles dentist called himself
“conservative, hard working, familyoriented and proactive.” He admitted
he had never attended a meeting of
the board. “I’m not a politician,” Selph
said, promising he would take on the
job with total commitment.
“I know there are things that need to
be addressed,” he said. “People tend to let
you know” if they have concerns. “They
would probably come to me.” He said he
would need time to get up to speed.
Regarding teachers, Selph said,
“Their pay needs to be doubled easily.”
No one spoke on Selph’s behalf. Hart
did not ask for his supporters to stand.

Northampton County May
Reduce Number of Supervisors
By Ron West
How best to represent the citizens of
Northampton County occupied much
of the meeting of the Board of
Supervisors Tuesday.
With a decrease in the county’s population, the supervisors are faced with
shuffling the current six voting districts to insure that citizens are equally represented. A wide range of options
have been reviewed by the board,
including three, five and six districts,
with either five or six total supervisors. Regardless of what the board
selects regarding the number and
shape of each district, the plan must
pass muster not only with citizens, but
also with the U.S. Department of
Justice. The general consensus of the
board is to move toward having five
voting districts, with one supervisor
each. It will be up to the board and
county staffers to hammer out the
final shape of each district. Once this
is complete, the board will hold a public hearing and submit the plan for
approval by the Justice Department.
Timing is important if there is to be an
election for the supervisors in
November.
County resident David Kabler made
a presentation to the board regarding
an effort to increase tourism for the
county. Kabler noted that Hampton
Roads will host OPSAIL 2012 in just
over a year. Cape Charles has been
selected to partner with Norfolk and
hopes to see a significant number of
vessels and visitors come to the town
during June 2012. Kabler noted that
while this will be a boost for the town,
the county needs to look at the bigger

Harbor could play a key role in tourism
by having vessels visit the area on a
regular basis. The owners of the tallship Gazela have expressed interest in
visiting the harbor in June of this year.
The 110-year-old, 177-foot, 299-ton
vessel was built for the Grand Banks
fishing industry and has a rich heritage. Her three masts tower nearly
100 feet above her stone pine deck.
A public hearing and proposal to
amend text regarding the purchase of
development rights ordinance failed to
obtain the sufficient votes from the
supervisors needed to support the
change.
A motion was presented by
Supervisor Richard Tankard regarding
attendance by representatives selected
by the supervisors to serve on a variety
of boards and commissions. If passed,
the policy change would have allowed
supervisors to replace such members
who missed more than three meetings,
or 25 percent, during a given year,
without a viable excuse. The motion
did not pass.
School Superintendent Dr. Richard
Bowmaster fielded questions from the
board regarding the system’s capital
improvement
plan.
Supervisors
Tankard and Spencer Murray indicated concern over the plan and requested more detail regarding how the
funds would be expended. The longrange plan proposes improvements to
the county’s three schools, including
roofing and electrical upgrades. Plans
call for a joint meeting between the
School
Board
and
Board
of
Supervisors in the coming weeks to
iron out the school budget for the coming year.
In other business, the supervisors
voted to accept a bid from Shultz and
Sons Salvage, Inc. to purchase and
remove scrap metal from the county
for $156.80 per long ton. The board
also accepted a bid by Tidewater Fibre
Corporation to provide weekly recycling services at $15,588 annually.

So, Where Do You Go and Why Do You Stay?
By Linda Cicoira
One hundred percent of Accomack
and Northampton residents who participated in an e-mail survey conducted by the Eastern Shore Post have ridden across the famed Chesapeake Bay
Bridge-Tunnel. Several also remember
taking the facility’s predecessor, the
Kiptopeke Ferry, to Norfolk.
Seventy-nine percent said they
went on their first fishing trip by the
time they were 7 years old. Their catch
included flounder, trout, swelling toad,
spot and blue gill. Seventy-one percent
have visited the remote Chesapeake
Bay island of Tangier.
Fifty-seven percent said they have
attended the annual Pony Penning on
Chincoteague and the largest majority
(50 percent) chose Assateague as their
favorite beach. About 88 percent said
they know how to swim.
The favorite historical places of participants included Ker Place in
Onancock, the Barrier Islands Center
in Machipongo, the Assateague
C.D. Marsh,
Jewelers
Lighthouse, downtown Accomac,
Eastville and Onancock, and Eyre Hall
in Cheriton with its fine colonial house
and gardens.
“The swim itself is about the same,”
wrote Bobby Umphlett of Chincoteague, who has watched the island
ponies swim the channel between
Assateague and Chincoteague more
than 50 times. “The amount of people
watching has grown. I have a captain’s
license and sometimes I carry tourists.
I anchor my boat where the ponies
enter the water.”
Not surprisingly, the 65-year-old
was among those who chose the lighthouse as his favorite historical site.
His favorite sandy surface is Elaina’s
Beach. “It’s a secluded beach you get to
by boat and we named it after my
granddaughter,” he said. Umphlett
reeled in his first fish at the age of 7
from Cockle Creek, a stream between
Chincoteague Inlet and Chincoteague
Bay. He went to Tangier Island via Jet
Ski in 2001 and crossed the bridgetunnel when it first opened when he

was about 25.
Jean Ames of Exmore fondly
remembers riding the boat from
Kiptopeke. “The ferries were fun
because the people who worked on
them were friendly and fun. We were
allowed to run around and explore the
entire ferry boat from top to bottom
during the entire ride across the bay.”
She was about 10 when the bridgetunnel was completed.
Ames has never been to a Pony
Penning but when she was 12, her
father paid $50 for her first foal. “And
soon she had a beautiful black colt
with a white star on his forehead. The
last (Chincoteague) pony I ever had
was also the first pony I ever had.
There were several ponies in between,
but I kept my Chincoteague pony the
longest,” Ames said.
Her favorite historical place on the
Shore is Christ Episcopal Church in
Eastville, where she often visits the
graves of lost family members. She
favors both Cape Charles and
Assateague beaches. “When I was
growing up, my mother took me, my
brothers, sisters and our cousin to the
beach every day and that is how we all
learned to swim.” Ames caught her
first fish when she was 6. “I was out on
the seaside with my father in his old
wooden Chincoteague scow. We put the
boat off at the dock on the farm where
we lived, which was located on the seaside of Eastville. I probably caught a
swelling toad.”
Angela Mehsling of Accomac said, “I
love the Ker Museum. Most times
when I have friends or family in the

area, I try to indulge them with a tour
of the house. The guides are always so
knowledgeable about the area and
excited at the connection the Eastern
Shore has to the founding of our country. As an added bonus, I like to walk
through the Town of Onancock afterward to see the beautiful historic
homes and if my guests and I are
lucky, we might even bump into a
friendly local and have a chat.” Her
favorite beach is at Eastville.
Mehsling often travels the bridgetunnel. “My family lives in Virginia
Beach and I can go as often as once a
week,” she noted. “The rest stop in the
middle of the bridge” is where she
looks at the ocean and shakes “off any
jitters from having to drive through
the underwater tunnel.”
Denise Johnson, 78, of Nassawadox
went to Tangier Island for the first
time about a decade ago. “Flew over
with Carter Crabbe (a local pilot) who
was on an errand. I stepped out of the
plane and back in again. I would love
to boat over and stay a while.”
Oral Lambert, 69, of Cape Charles
said he’s driven the bridge-tunnel
“hundreds of times — maybe even
more than a thousand.” He “commuted
every day for three years. The first
time I drove out on it was when it was
under construction in the early ’60s. I
was 21 out there as a young Virginia
Beach police officer.”
An unidentified resident chose the
formal garden at Eyre Hall as a favorite
spot. For the beach, the Northampton
man picked “Kiptopeke … the slope is
gentle with no drop-off. There is also a

nice trail and fishing pier. The World
War II boats are nostalgic.”
When it comes to historic spots, Jim
Kaczmarek, 45, of Parksley likes the
Eastville Inn and all county buildings
in Northampton” where he works,
“including the courthouse and old
records room. I travel the Shore every
day in a service truck, so get to see a
lot … example is the old military stuff
at Indiantown Park.”
The historical building in the “worst
shape is right on the highway in
Eastville,” he wrote. “The old school
buildings next to the bus garage
should not have been allowed to get so
bad over the past 10 years.” He said
repairs are needed to the roof. “What a
shame.”
Linda Fletcher, 63, of Wattsville
remembers the bridge-tunnel being hit
by a barge or something” when she
was in college. “You had to fly across in
a helicopter.” The first time she crossed
the bay “was on the ferry and my Dad
held me in his arms.” She was 4 or 5
years old.
Lorraine Mason, 51, of Harborton
said her favorite historical place is
“the old Hopkins Brothers Building at
the wharf in Onancock.” She goes
there “most every weekend in the summer.” Her favorite beach is Dawson
Shoals.” She’s never been to a Pony
Penning. “I owned one (a pony) when I
was a kid. Forley Stables give her to
me because she was too ornery for a
lesson pony.”
Mason caught her first fish when
she was about 5 at “The Mud Hole in
Pungoteague Creek … I get excited
reeling in any kind of fish — even nonkeepers.”
Natalie Rinker-Good of Seaview
picked the “old bunkers at the south
end of the Shore” as her favorite spot.
“You never know what will jump out of
the woods when you walk there. It’s a
beautiful area and lost in time!” Her
favorite beach “for a barrier island …
is Cobb.” On the mainland it has to be
“Sand Hill … private and safe for dogs
to run!”
Annette Mills, 66, of Pocomoke City,
Md., also fondly remembers taking the
boat to Norfolk. “My first ferry ride
was an experience. I got seasick! I
spent the whole trip (about 105 min.)
in the bathroom. After that trip … I
would try to stay out on the deck
where I could get fresh air and I made
out fine. My parents would stay inside,
but close enough where they could
keep an eye on me. There were times
the water was rough and objects on the
tables would slide across the room, but
all in all it is those childhood memories I enjoy. Of course, the ferry ride
always added time to your trip, but
that is a piece of Eastern Shore history that is gone.”
Ron West of Machipongo said he
remembers when there was no
Assateague Bridge. “The Boy Scouts
would be taken by boat back in the
1950s and early ’60s. We would camp
out around the lighthouse for the
weekend and the ponies would wander
through all the time. Some other guys
even tried to ride them, but with very
little luck.”
He caught his first fish at about age
5 “when a family member and a family friend took me out to teach me. I fell
in love with the water then and never
lost the interest.”
“While the first car ferries were two
side wheelers that ran from the Beach
front in Cape Charles to Norfolk, my
first memories of them are from when
they had already moved to the Kiptopeke Little Creek run,” recalled West.
“The pier at Kiptopeke was built about
1950. They moved the ferries there
after they sank the nine concrete ships
there as a breakwater. I can recall my
parents taking my brother and me
across the bay to Ames and Brownley
in downtown Norfolk. I was probably
about 5 or so. That was where we got
to see Santa and tell him what we
wanted for Christmas. We didn’t go
across the Bay very often … the
Princess Anne and the Pocahontas
were the fastest that usually ran. The
Accomac was actually faster, but she
didn’t run that much as she was smaller than the rest.
“When we were in high school, and
there was an away game, we’d ride
down to Kiptopeke and walk on to the
ferry,” noted West. “The price was
about 85 cents to walk on. Cars were
$3, I believe. We’d walk on and ride
across to Little Creek where we would
then get on a bus from the school we
were playing and ride to that school.
The game wasn’t the most important
thing to some of us. It was the trip
back home. Once the bus had dropped
us off at Little Creek, those of us with
dates would run onto the ferry and up
to the upper deck. (Remember it was
night time.) There were four live boats
on the upper deck with canvas covers.
The idea was to get into a lifeboat with
your date. The deal was, you’d go up to
one of the boats and knock on the side.
If no one answered, you got in and
pulled the canvas cover back over it. If
there was a return knock, you hurried
to the next boat, and so on until you
had tried all four boats. With only four
lifeboats, if they were full, you were

wrote. “As a young boy, my grandfather
raised (Chincoteague) ponies, then
took them up on the Wednesday and
Thursday of Pony Penning to sell
them. I remember he got $10 a piece
for the mare colts and I believe $12 for

His niece, Angie H. Crutchley of

“Fig Tree Beach!!” Crutchley’s not sure
when she caught her first fish. “Lord
only knows. My Daddy had a fishing
pole in my hand from the time I was
like 2 or 3. Probably right in the
Chesapeake Bay. We’d usually go out
of Morley’s Wharf.”
She also has memories of the bridgetunnel. “My Mom tells a story of how
she, my dad, and I were coming back
from across the bay when the truck
suddenly broke down and the lights cut
off. I was just a few months old. A tractor-trailer almost hit us. But we survived and were towed back. My mom
has been scared of bridges ever since.”

luggish performance, hard
starting from your vehicle?
Could be a worn-out or sluggish oxygen sensor. The automotive
gasoline engine uses a mixture of
air and gasoline to create a combustible mixture. It is the burning
of this mixture that operates the
engine, and after the combustion
process, a small amount of oxygen
remains in the exhaust.
Engine's Air/Fuel Mixture Key to
Fuel Efficiency, Reduced Emissions
The oxygen (O2) sensor monitors
unburned oxygen in the exhaust,
and is part of the fuel management
system. The vehicle’s powertrain
control module (PCM) uses the
information sent by the oxygen
sensor to determine if the fuel mixture is rich (too much fuel) or lean
(not enough fuel). To provide the
best performance, fuel economy
and emissions, the PCM has to con-
stantly readjust the fuel mixture
while the engine is running. It does
this by looking at the signal from
the O2 sensor(s), and then increasing or decreasing the on-time
(dwell) of the fuel injectors to control fuel delivery.
The oxygen sensor’s monitoring
and signaling allows the engine
computer to optimize engine performance and fuel efficiency, and
reduce harmful emissions.
Pay Attention to
‘Check Engine’ Light
If the oxygen sensor wears out
and fails to accurately generate a
signal for the engine computer, the
computer may adjust the mixture
too lean or too rich as it tries to
accommodate the perceived variation from where if should be. In
addition to causing sluggish performance, hard starting and
decreased fuel economy, this can

cause damage to the catalytic converter and other major components, which may translate into
quite expensive repairs.
All modern automobiles are
equipped with from one to four oxygen sensors at various locations in
the exhaust stream, depending on
the vehicle make, model and year.
So how do you know if an oxygen
sensor has worn out? You may
experience poor performance, hard
starting, and declining fuel economy, and almost certainly, a check
engine light will light up on your
dashboard.
Although drivers might be
tempted to ignore it if the vehicle
seems to be running without problems, this is not a good idea. If you
ignore it, and continue to drive
without having an automotive
technician check it sometime soon,
you may be setting yourself up for
a hefty repair bill.

T
he 2011
General
Assembly
adjourned at 7
p.m. Sunday,
Feb. 27, after
unanimously
adopting the conference report on
amendments to Virginia’s two-year
budget and having considered 2,692
bills during the 47-day session. Of
those bills, 1,599 passed through the
process and will go on to Gov.
McDonnell for his consideration prior
to our return to Richmond for the
statutorily mandated reconvened or
veto session on Wednesday, April 5.
Immediately upon adjournment of
the regular session, which had gone
one day into “overtime,” the House and
Senate reconvened in a Special
Session for purposes of redistricting.
That special session promptly recessed
and will convene in Richmond on
Monday April 4, to adopt a new map of
legislative districts, including congressional districts, for the commonwealth.
For the first time in recent memory,
the budget conference report passed
unanimously through the House of
Delegates, 97 to 0. This was a product of
good and hard negotiations between the
conferees of the Senate and the House.
The deal was struck at approximately
1:30 a.m. Sunday, with budget committee
staff working on the agreed amendments
until about 8 a.m. when the whole package was sent to the printer for the physical act of printing the conference report.
A bad budget situation was improved
by revenue receipts which increased
over the months. Both the budget and
the conference report on the governor’s
transportation package removed what
would have been for me the most troubling aspect and that was use of
General Fund money toward transportation. Other than the statutorily
provided portion of any budget surpluses, which the Assembly adopted in 2007,

originally, did not make the final conference report budget.
There is also additional money put
forth to fund the state enterprise
zones, which ultimately will result in a
benefit to the Eastern Shore.
The budget also included the “five
for five” resolution for the Virginia
retirement system. That is a requirement that the state employees contribute 5 percent to the VRS, with an
offsetting 5 percent pay increase.
The budget has language that moves
the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport
from the control of the Secretary of
Commerce over to the Secretary of
Transportation/Department of Aviation.
Shortly after the veto session in
April, I will be having another round of
town hall meetings to discuss the final
results from the 2011 General
Assembly. Since the governor can offer
amendments to legislation and also
veto legislation, things still remain
somewhat uncertain on some of the
issues acted on by the Assembly until
after the reconvened session.

additional General
Fund money going
into transportation.
Under the governor’s proposal, some
additional General Fund money would
have been directed toward the new
transportation infrastructure bank,
which was a part of the transportation
package. The bank is created and funded, but at a level reduced by the amount
of General Fund dollars the governor
had proposed.
Among items of particular interest
to the Eastern Shore was, first and
foremost, funding for our resident
Circuit Court judge position. A number of people worked very hard to
make sure that the need for the funding of this resident judge position was
made clear. The positions, which were
unfrozen and filled by budget appropriation, will become effective July 1,
2011, and will be filled by the General
Assembly during our meeting in April.
In addition, the budget also includes

Notes
Dredging of Chincoteague Inlet federal
navigation
channel, originally
Chincoteague scheduled to start
March
6, was
delayed until March 9
due to dredging operations in
North Carolina.
“The Coast Guard requested the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’
Dredge Currituck remove severely
shoaled portions of Oregon Inlet in
North Carolina so they could execute
their rescue missions before it moved
on to its next job at Chincoteague,”
said Christopher Frabotta, dredging
project manager with the Corps’
Wilmington District.
Annual scheduled maintenance
dredging of Chincoteague Inlet federal
navigation channel will remove about
100,000 cubic yards of beach-quality
sand, keeping it open and safe for commercial and recreational watercraft.
The dredge should not interfere
with boaters navigating the channel.
The Currituck, scheduled to be onsite
for 21 days, is working around-theclock to remove the potential hazards
from the channel.
The sand the dredge is collecting
from the project is being placed just offshore NASA’s Wallops Island facility.
Chincoteague Inlet is the gateway
to the largest commercial port on the
Eastern Shore, handling more than
3,000 vessels a year, including U.S.
Coast Guard vessels. The annual project was approved in 1972 by the chief
of engineers under the authority of
Section 107 of the River and Harbor
act of July 14, 1960.

Chincoteague Handicap Ramp Permits Now Free
By Linda Cicoira
Chincoteague residents who need handicap ramps
installed at their homes will no longer have to pay building
permit fees for them.
Chincoteague Town Council unanimously voted Monday
to abolish the $80 fee. However, residents still have to
obtain no-cost permits.
Vice Mayor Ellen Richardson suggested that the money
already collected be returned. But in the end, Council informally agreed not to refund.
The issue came up last month when resident Peggy
Thomas asked officials to stop charging for the permits. She
complained that it cost her $81.60, yet she heard that someone else didn’t have to pay. Thomas urged Council to treat
everyone the same.
“It’s impossible to go back,” Councilman John Howard
conceded Monday.
“It’s difficult, but not impossible,” another member said.
Town Attorney Jon Poulson advised them not to start
making refunds. The town would “run into a lot of problems
when they try to refund money that’s been lawfully collected,” he said.
Council also unanimously:
•Eliminated building permits for outbuildings that are
200 square feet or smaller. In the past, the town required
the permits for structures 150 square feet or larger.
Residents still have to purchase a $45 zoning permit for
placement of the building.
•Vacated a property line between two parcels owned by
Ted Daisey, making it one tract to allow him to build a
house on Bertie Street.
•Voted to apply for a $5,000 matching grant for the
Chincoteague Cultural Alliance.
•Voted to run water to Donald Leonard Park for landscaping.
Town Manager Robert Ritter reported that a census
mass mailing would go out in the next two weeks.
The mayor told members of the Hi-Y Club from
Chincoteague High School that Council will consider giving
a donation to the group to help with the cost of 11 students
participating in the Model General Assembly in Richmond
from April 14-16.
Councilman John Howard wants the Public Works
Department to stop coming back to the town office to take
breaks. He plans to further discuss the issue at next
month’s meeting.
Councilman John Jester commended local paid and volunteer emergency medical workers.

Updated on PSA
By Ron West
Exmore Town Council reviewed a
draft preliminary engineering report
for the northern node of the Northampton County Public Works Authority
(PSA) wastewater project Monday.
Interim Town Manager Arthur
Miles briefly discussed the current status of the project. Noting that the PSA
would not be receiving the U.S.
Department of Agriculture grant it
had sought, Miles said he is in the
process of applying for a Virginia
Health Department (VHD) grant that
could be used to help pay for utility
improvements in town.
Councilman Charles Massey questioned the status of the derelict building that continues to be an eyesore on
Exmore’s south end. The town has
been seeking to have the owner of the
structure correct the problem or
remove the structure, but has yet to
meet with success. Massey suggested
that the town give the owner a time
limit or follow up with legal action.
Miles said he would continue to try to
resolve the problem with the owner.

Honored
Carlisle Lamar Nottingham, a 90year-old resident of Heritage Hall in
Nassawadox, is featured in the second
publication of the Virginia Health Care
Association’s Who’s Who in Virginia’s
Long Term Care Facilities calendar.
The calendar’s theme, “Spirit of
Success,” tells of Nottingham’s commitment to his country by joining the military during World War II. After
German fighters swarmed and shot
down his plane over Belgium, he bailed
out, broke his ankle on a tile roof and
minutes later found himself a prisoner
of war. He was locked up in Stalag Luft
III, the setting for “The Great Escape”
about 76 POWs who tunneled out.
Nottingham was among them.
On Jan. 27, 1945, German soldiers
whisked the POWs away from a
descending Russian army and
Nottingham’s school ring was lost.
Fifty-seven years later, a young
German came into possession of the
ring and tracked him down. The Air
Force arranged for Nottingham to go to
Germany, where the ring was returned.
We’re delighted to play a part.

y the time I was 10 years old, I
had climbed the Statue of Liberty
twice, been over the Brooklyn,
Verrazano, George Washington and
Delaware Memorial bridges and
through the Lincoln Tunnel. I thought I
was pretty worldly. NOT.
I had yet to conquer one of
seven engineering wonders
of the world — the
Chesapeake Bay BridgeTunnel. But I was about to
as my Belle Haven Girl Scout troop was
headed to Williamsburg for the weekend. The 17.6-mile span opened four
years earlier and all the other kids had
traveled it before.
There was a caravan of
cars that crossed and I was
in the one with the smart
alecks. What a surprise.
They told me we would be
going up high and not just
over the bridge. They said
we would rise above the
facility. The girls and the
driver, someone’s mom,
were making such a big
deal out of it I thought for
sure we were going up the
trestles and into the air.
AHHHHH. I’m talking
about the North Channel

Wars Are Waste of Money
Dear Editor:
Who do we want to fight? In Wisconsin, tax dollars spent in Afghanistan alone in one year by local
residents would pay for 27,000 public-school teachers. These war dollars would also help America get
back in the black. Remember when we had a surplus
at the end of the Clinton administration? Write your
representatives to stop these costly wars NOW.
Sandra Beerends, Franktown

How Do We Look Now?
A
stute readers will notice that with
this edition of the Eastern Shore
Post, the physical size of the newspaper has changed.
While its height has been reduced a bit,
its width has grown.
The reason behind the size modification
is that with this issue, the Post is being
printed by what for us is a new printer, the
Virginian-Pilot. Previously, the paper had
been printed in Delaware.
Affiliation with the Virginian-Pilot,
though limited to the printing aspect, will
afford the Eastern Shore Post additional
opportunities aimed primarily at technology and marketing. We are excited about the
prospect of our new alliance and hope our
readers will continue their loyalty to the
Post as their source for local news.
