Chickens More Welcome Than Solar Panels in Accomack
Story and photo by Linda Cicoira
The biggest solar project on the East Coast may
not come to Accomack, but chances are chicken houses will continue to be built in the county.
An official from chicken producer Tyson Foods
Inc. of Temperanceville reported to the Board of Supervisors Wednesday that the company’s goal is to
be a good neighbor. And that means vegetative buffers that are not required would be put in place, a
150-acre farm would get 16 new houses instead of
24, and 300- and 400-foot setbacks would voluntarily
go to 500 feet.
Accomack Planning and Community Development
Director Rich Morrison, said that of the recent 10 or
11 applications involving 75 poultry houses, only one
or two are not connected to Tyson’s.“We do not want
to upset the community,” said Tyson’s Jerry Goodman after hearing government officials discuss citizens’ concerns about a recent report on the influx of
chicken houses. “Our goal is to listen to the community,” he said. “We will put vegetation on all sides.”
In April 2014, the plant was given a $15 million
extension with capacity it hasn’t used, said Good-
man. Another $50 million expansion would bring a
25 percent increase to a payroll that was $41 million
last year.
He assured Supervisor Wanda Thornton that no
additional groundwater would be needed for the increases. “We would just run lines faster,” he assured.
Thornton said she found that hard to believe. So
Goodman invited her to visit the plant to see the increase from 80 to 120 birds per minute processed
without more water.
Supervisor Ron Wolff said the 24 proposed houses
for the Turkey Run project seem to be a lot, but he realizes that 50 poultry houses are in a three-mile radius of his Atlantic restaurant. “Seldom do you smell
the houses,” he said. “It’s not the houses; it’s when
manure is put on the field. The smell is so minimal.”
Goodman said 66 percent of the payroll went to
Accomack residents and another 9 percent went to
Northampton workers.
Supervisor Robert Crockett said $1.5 billion
comes from the industry to the Shore and parts of
Hampton Roads. Seventy-five percent of that goes to
Accomack. “We definitely have to keep that business
Chincoteague Student Dies in Head-On Crash
By Linda Cicoira
A head-on collision on Lankford Highway near
Eastville early Tuesday morning killed a young
Eastern Shore woman and injured two other Accomack residents.
April Lynn Zell, 18, of Chincoteague Road on Wallops Island died on impact, according to State Police
Sgt. Michelle Anaya. Zell’s remains were identified
by the Medical Examiner’s Office in Norfolk and her
identity disclosed Wednesday night after her family
was notified.
Zell was driving a 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier north
in the southbound lanes. Anaya said she was going
“at a high rate of speed.” The vehicle struck a 2005
Mitsubishi Gallant that was headed south, causing the Chevrolet to burst into flames. The crash oc-
curred south of Business Route 13.
Juan Carlos Mendoza Garcia, 48, of Hallwood,
who was driving the Mitsubishi, was taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital for treatment of
life-threatening injuries. His passenger was identified only as being a female. She also was taken to the
Norfolk hospital.
Zell did not have any passengers.
Zell graduated from Chincoteague High School in
June and planned to attend Longwood University.
Move-in day for freshman was Thursday.
“April had a lot of potential,” said CHS assistant
principal Karen Taylor. “It was a terrible tragedy.”
Zell played volleyball and softball and had “excellent rapport” with faculty and her fellow students,
Taylor said.
here,” Crockett said. Even so, he added, “The U.S.
constitution will not allow you to stop a law that was
legal yesterday … 75 chicken houses are in the system … maybe a buffer would go a long way … out of
sight, out of mind … their concerns are valid … for
the future maybe we can strike a balance.”
Crockett said that it would cost a tenth of 1 percent for buffers to be put up around existing houses.
“If the grower can’t afford it, he shouldn’t be in the
business in the first place.”
“Just because Tyson’s is working with us doesn’t
mean other poultry businesses will be willing to do
the same thing,” warned Supervisor Kay Lewis.
“Almost every one of my neighbors has worked
at Tyson’s at one time or another,” said Supervisor
Grayson Chesser. “When you look at the benefit. I’m
glad to see you here … glad to see they are trying to
eliminate the friction. … I’m glad there seems to be
a change of attitude. You seem to be trying to do a lot

Supervisor Says County
Wants Former School
By Linda Cicoira
Accomack Supervisor Jack Gray asked the county
School Board Tuesday night to prepare for the possibility of the former Accomac Primary School being
used for a school division Central Office.
Such a move would involve a visit by an architect
who specializes in renovating old school buildings
and knows about the availability of grants for such
work and most importantly, the feasibility of a project like this.
The first step would be to clean out the building,
which is being used for storage by the division and
other county agencies. Gray said the building has been used for storage
since at least 2007 and needs minor roof repair
“It is full of junk,” said Gray. “Get it out if you have
a place to put it … and broom clean it.” Gray said the
county would send over “a couple of men to do it.”
“When we ask for it (the building), turn it over to
the county,” said Gray. “Not right away, but when we
ask for it.”
Gray said the county is paying $90,000 in office
rent and needs the space in the county administration building where school offices currently are
located.
“This school building is a classic,” Gray said of
Accomac Primary. “I would hate to see it be demolished and buried under the ground or something.
… What better place for the Central Office? If it’s
not usable, we won’t say it’s usable.” Gray also
mentioned Bailey Hall, the old building behind the
school. “The roof looks good on that. Classic columns, too.”
School Board Vice Chairman Travis Thornton said
he would notify Chairwoman Margaret Miles, who
was absent from the session, about the request and
get it on the board’s September agenda.
In another matter, Finance Director Beth Onley
of the school division told the School Board she has
concerns about some federal programs that are being shifted to workers who don’t know about them.
For example, the Lead Turn Around program was
not billing the division monthly in accordance with
the contract. Onley said it is unclear when the grant
will end.
The School Board approved projects so the county can acquire bonds. County Finance Director Mike
Mason said $1.6 million is needed to build a new gym
and stage at Kegotank, renovate the old gym and expand the cafeteria there, renovate classrooms at Arcadia High for the STEM program, and provide a
cold storage facility.

SOL Scores Up
By Linda Cicoira
Northampton County Public Schools saw an increase of 6 points in all students Reading test scores
over last year for Standards of Learning (SOL), according to figures released last week. The score went
up the same amount for writing.
History and social science SOLs stayed the same.
Scores for students at all three schools went up 8
points in math, but down 5 points in science in the
2014-15 school term.
The biggest gains were made at the two elementary schools, Occohannock and Kiptopeke. The latter school saw a 14-point jump in reading scores
when compared to the previous year.
The figures are preliminary. Final test results
will be released in September.
Superintendent Eddie Lawrence could not be
reached for comment.

Accomack Board Rejects Shorebird Protection Initiative
By Linda Cicoira
Accomack supervisors voted 8-1
Wednesday not to endorse a shorebird
initiative, fearing such a move would
eventually lead to new restrictions and
regulations for local citizens.
Wachapreague Mayor Fred Janci
agreed. Before the vote was taken, he
presented the board petitions signed
by 285 people, the majority of whom
are from his town.
“We … strongly object to the proposal by the Nature Conservancy to
include the barrier marshes in the
Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reservation Network (WHSRN),” the petition states. “We object based on the
potential for WHSRN to ultimately
lead to the creation and enforcement
of restrictions that would curtail if not
eliminate the recreational use of the …
marshes by the general public. WHSRN will not materially be of benefit to
the wildlife that it is purported to protect. Such restrictions will cause hardship for those businesses in Accomack
County that rely on the commerce gen-
erated by public access.”
“This was created for everyone to
use,” John T. Eshelman of Wachapreague wrote in the document.
“Leave it alone,” wrote Maureen
Maida of Nandua Shores.
“Absolutely no good will come from
WHSRN,” Richard Hambley, another
Wachapreaguer inked in.
“Sportsmen care more about wildlife than WHSRN,” according to David
Baldwin of Annadale, Va.
Supervisor Grayson Chesser, a decoy
carver and conservationist, was the only supervisor to favor the endorsement.
“I think you all are making a mistake,”
he said. “I don’t see the harm in this.”
One worry among the opposition
concerned the red knot, a medium-size
shorebird. They said its possible status
as an endangered species could cause
restrictions on the islands, as has the
piping plover.
“I can understand your concerns,
I really can,” Chesser said. “I think
it’s just a designation … it highlights
the importance of this area.” He said
How Will Supervisors Keep
$2 Million Promise to Library?
By Linda Cicoira
The $2 million promised by the Accomack Board of Supervisors for renovation of the existing Eastern Shore
Public Library or construction of a new
one will probably not come from the issuance of bonds.
Officials reported Wednesday that
two agencies refused to grant bonds
because local voters had opposed the
spending in a recent referendum. They
were warned in June by Ronnie Thomas of Atlantic that the move was illegal. “You can’t do that,” Thomas had told
them. “It is illegal. The referendum
was about the county borrowing money for a library, not about the amount
of money to be borrowed. A referendum
by the people cannot be overruled and
has a binding effect,” he added.
But it appears the county still will
give the money to the library board.
It just was not stated from where the
funds would come.
A bond specialist will continue to
work on getting funds for other county
capital improvement projects while interest is still low, officials said.
Finance Director Mike Mason reported the county’s major revenues
were up 5.5 percent for the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2015 as compared
to the prior year. For the entire fiscal
year, major revenues were up 2.2 percent from 2014.
“An estimate called for a .2 percent
decrease largely due to an unexpected
significant property tax refund,” Mason said. About $1.6 million is available for the next budget cycle, with an
additional $795,000 planned for fiscal
2016. The rainy day fund on June 30
was $8.41 million.
In other business,the supervisors
named Mark Bowen as the county’s
building official and Gracie Milbourne
as its zoning administrator. Both have
been doing the jobs on an interim basis
since David Fluhart retired as director
of building and zoning.
the bird is mostly a beach feeder that
feasts on horseshoe crabs. “It’s already
regulated by VMRC (Virginia Marine
Resources Commission).
Supervisor Laura Belle Gordy said
her constituents “are afraid of what it
would lead to.”
Janci said the Nature Conservancy
was invited to a meeting in the town so
residents would understand the designation. “No one wanted to remove their
name from the petition after the meeting,” he reported, adding that the move
was supposed to promote tourism
through an influx of birders. “Wachapreague is kind of the center of all of
that,” the mayor said. “Wachapreague
Inn has had few birders stay, don’t
know about researchers.”
Last month, Barry Truitt, a recently retired conservation scientist with
the Nature Conservancy, reported that
between 150 and 200 biologists were
planning to come to the Shore in September. “If we are included (in the initiative), we would be able to claim we
are one of the most important areas for
shorebirds in the Western Hemisphere
… it carries more credit,” he said. Truitt assured the supervisors that there
would be no impact on duck hunting or
other property uses. According to Truitt, the program encourages property
owners to “take shorebirds into consideration when managing your property.”
Northampton supervisors voted 4-1
for the measure in July, with Supervisor Granville Hogg in opposition.
Wallops Says It Has Learned from
Mishap, Is Preparing for Next Launch
By Linda Cicoira
Caroline Massey of NASA reported Wednesday on preparations for the
next Antares launch at Wallops Flight
Facility.
“New motors are in and they are
being worked,” she said. It “is slightly
more powerful, uses less liquid oxygen
(and has) more lift and thrust. …
“We have had almost the worst case
of what could happen,” Massey said,
referring to the explosion of a rocket
shortly after lift-off last October. Previous predictions of what would happen
in a disaster were “dead on, according
to Massey. “Off-base hazard area could
be a little smaller but we are probably
going to keep just the same.” She said
the thrust would increase by 17 percent.
“Aren’t you going to have more vibration?” asked Supervisor Grayson Chesser.
Massey said the updated motors are
so much more efficient that that wouldn’t
be a problem. But she planned to check
with those who would know more.
“Whatever is stationary has to have
more vibrations,” said Chesser. “I’m
taking about the land in the area. My
daughter’s house is outside the launch
zone. You could hear the whole house
vibrate. I thought the window lights
were going to blow out, I really did.”
The possibility of stained-glass win-
dows being lost at local churches is a
big concern, he said. “Window lights
blew out from Captain’s Cove to Hallwood” last time, according to Chesser.
“Kegotank Elementary School is not
that far outside the blast zone. It concerns me that the blast zone might not
be large enough. Since the Russians
blew up one and Space X blew up one,
it’s not a question of if this is every going to happen, it is when.”
“I was even a little blown back, but
I was very, very close,” said Massey.
“Hazard circles were certainly adequate. Little fiber pieces is not necessarily hazardous. … Wallops Island
blew out every window we had. I understand the public’s concerns.”
“Most Eastern Shoremen tend to
things themselves,” said Chesser, explaining that some damages from the
blast were likely not reported. “They
just fixed them themselves.”
Massey said, “We had a couple of
citizens contact us. They were in touch
with Orbital” Sciences.

Northampton Circuit Court
Stephen Ray Carpenter, a waterman
who blamed a day-long ingestion of illegal drugs for his violent 2013 crimes
against a female jogger, was sentenced
Monday in Northampton Circuit Court
to more than 53 years in prison.
Testimony disclosed that after striking the young woman with his car, repeatedly hitting her in the head with
the butt of a gun and then abducting
and strangling her before she managed
to get away, Carpenter used a jailhouse
telephone to conspire with his father to
get rid of the gun used in the crimes.
Judge W. Revell Lewis sentenced
Carpenter, 30, of Seaside Road in
Capeville to 25 years for abduction
with intent to defile; 10 years for malicious wounding; five years each for
strangulation, attempted murder and
hit and run, personal injury; and three
years for use of a firearm in a felony.
For DUI, Carpenter got 12 months in
jail, with all but 30 days suspended,
and fined $5,000. He was sentenced for
driving on a suspended license to 90
days in jail, with all but 30 days suspended, and fined $250. For possession
of cocaine, Carpenter got 30 days in jail
and his driver’s license was suspended for six months. Restitution of $9,020
with interest also was ordered. The terms were set to run consecutively. Carpenter will have to register
as a sex offender. Lewis said the guidelines that were recommended in a presentence report based on evaluations
and Carpenter’s criminal record were
“inadequate” for the crimes.
The victim, Paige K. Eminhizer, who
was then a 22-year-old member of the
National Guard, did not attend the trial or sentencing. She fought for her
life using self-defense techniques she
learned as a service member, but still
suffers from emotional and physical
distress, including vertigo and the fear
of being alone in a public place. A transcript of a preliminary hearing at which she testified was part of
the evidence Lewis considered. “She withdrew from college,” the
judge said. “She watched her peers
move on without her.”

“He can’t run away.”
That’s what a defense attorney argued Monday in Northampton Circuit
Court when asking for bond for Aaron
Bowens, 19, of A.S. West Road in Painter.
The defendant was shot in the leg
during an exchange of gunfire outside the former Exmore Sage Diner
last April and was then held in Eastern Shore Regional Jail in Eastville on
four related gun charges.
Judge W. Revell Lewis set bond
at $15,000, but not before Commonwealth’s Attorney Bruce Jones argued against the man being freed.
He even mentioned that some people
think Bowens murdered Terrell (Juice)
Devone Mason, the father of eight
who was gunned down in early February through the window of a shed as
he played cards. Bowens has not been
charged with that crime.
Bowens, a choir member at Holy
Trinity Baptist Church, said he had
recently graduated from Nandua High
School and received a two-year scholarship to Eastern Shore Community
College based on an essay he wrote. He
also was considering enlisting in the
Army. He asked for bond so he could
seek better medical treatment. “I need
therapy” for my knee, he said.
His mother said she, her mother and
family in the neighborhood will keep a
close eye on him.
“This is a very, very strong case for
the commonwealth,” Jones said. “He’s
a threat to the community.”
In another case, Regineka Upshur,
23, of Hampton Court in Treherneville
and a member of the Army Reserves,
pleaded guilty to two counts of maliciously shooting at an occupied vehicle,
attempted malicious wounding and
carrying a concealed weapon, as part
of an agreement with Assistant Com-
monwealth’s Attorney Beverly Leatherbury who didn’t prosecute 10 additional charges. The bargain also called
for her to serve at least two years of
incarceration.
Evidence showed that Upshur went
home to get a gun after finding the man
she lived with, Troy Anderson, 20, in bed
with his former girlfriend at his mother’s house. She armed herself and went
to his work and later found the other
woman and Anderson in a parking lot,
where he had parked his vehicle.
“I could shoot you right now if I
wanted to,” she told him. The two met
back at their house. When he was leaving to go to work, she started shooting
and continued as he drove away. Two
bullets struck the vehicle. She told police she “should have shot him.”
Leatherbury said the incidents occurred in a residential neighborhood
where others could have been injured.
Upsher was remanded to jail to await
completion of a presentence report.
In a separate case, women swooned
and called good wishes to Aaron McNeil
Taylor, 32, of Eastville, who is awaiting
trial on six counts of distributing cocaine. The material witness in the case
did not show up and told officials he
was threatened to stay away. The case
was continued until Monday, Aug 24.
One unidentified woman in the audience said the witness better stay
away. The same voice mentioned how
good Taylor looked. Taylor thanked the
audience and blew a kiss before being
taken back to jail.

A Parksley man who an official connected to the Bloods street gang was
given a prison term last week in Accomack Circuit Court for maliciously
shooting at an occupied vehicle.
Roderick Savage, 21, of Leslie Trent

with all but three years suspended. A
count of using a firearm in the July 27,
2014, shooting was not prosecuted.
Chelsea Renae Thompson, 24, of
Ranson, W.Va., pleaded guilty to stealing property belonging to Eula Mae
Powers between May 23 and 25, 2014.
A presentence report was ordered.
Thompson is free on existing bond.
Humberto Vasquez, 19, of Matthews
Street in Mappsville pleaded guilty to
embezzling more than $200 from Au-
toZone in Onley, where he worked. The
offense occurred between Sept. 9 and
Nov. 10, 2014. He is free on existing
bond pending completion of a presentence report.
Fontae F. Ayres, 34, of Piggin Road in
Melfa pleaded guilty to three counts of
welfare fraud in a plea agreement. Two
other charges will not be prosecuted, in
accordance with the bargain. A presentence report was ordered. Ayres, who was
directed to pay restitution of $2,206.48,
is free on an unspecified existing bond.
Tia Michelle Harmon, 43, of Pearl
Drive in New Church was convicted of
two counts of forgery and two counts of
passing a bad check. Initially, she also was charged with another count of
passing a bad check and another count
of forgery. A short-form presentence
report was ordered. Harmon is free on
unspecified bond.

21 charges of sex

William
Albert Cathell, 42, of
Cathell
Parksley Road was
arrested in Accomack County on Aug.
12. He waived extradition the next day.
A clerk in Worcester County District
Court said warrants are filed but have
not yet been served so they are not considered public information.
The extradition papers filed in Accomack General District Court state
Cathell, who reportedly has worked at
the Maryland school for 10 years, is accused of six counts of sexually abusing a
minor, five counts of third-degree sex offenses, five counts of fourth-degree sex
offenses and five counts of assault.
Patrick Coulter of Accomack County
Sheriff’s Office was an investigator in
the case. Defense attorney Pat Robbins
served as Cathell’s lawyer for the extradition hearing. Cathell is being held
in Accomack Jail without bond.
He was a Spanish teacher and has a
master’s degree.
The accusations involve inappropriately touching four female students on
school grounds over two years, documents

Atlantic Man Lambastes School Board, Charges Array of Blunders
By Linda Cicoira
“The school administration is spending tax money like a drunken sailor,”
Ronnie Thomas of Atlantic told the Accomack School Board Tuesday night in
reference to administrators’ salaries.
“The public is outraged, the teachers are angry and the school system is
in turmoil. Too much money is being
spent on administration cost and not
enough money and effort on learning.”
Thomas did note, “The recent statistics show an improvement in student
learning.”
“The general public is getting disgusted with your lack-a-daisy attitude
and your rubber stamping of whatever the superintendent wants,” Thomas
started his comments. “You will suspend a student for pointing a finger at
another student or you will suspend
a bus driver for verbally correcting a
mean, rowdy student on the bus, but
you won’t use constraint when it comes
to doing the right thing in keeping the
School Board affairs in order and protecting the School Board’s integrity.”
Thomas complained that Superintendent Dr. Kregg Cuellar hired a former colleague. “The new superintendent came in with guns a-blazing, reassigning some and requiring others
to re-apply for their job,” said Thomas.
“To the public, this sounded great —
a real shakeup in the school system.
But it didn’t take long for everyone to
learn that his decisions were not always the best. He cut salaries on some
and others he gave huge raises. It appears he is showing partiality and favoritism to some while dumping work
on others.”
Thomas told the board members
they need to “get back on top of the
day-to-day operations. The School
Board has the lion’s share of the county tax revenue. How are you using it?
To give $40,000 raises to an employee
that is already making big dollars? You
call that being thrifty with my dollar? I
don’t think so.”
“You allowed the superintendent
to bring a crony in … at a high salary
and now the superintendent has hired
a new human resources person. You
must be expecting a large turnover in
the department to justify a person for
recruiting new people and their training,” Thomas continued.
“He has now top loaded his administration with the highest paid salary
personnel in the county, while the true
workforce, the teachers … some are
suffering financially,” he complained.
“Teachers with 30 years’ tenure got
a pitiful raise and the same teachers
will buy school supplies for their classroom presentation or for a student that
needs paper or pencil.”
Thomas further complained that
the website for the School Board’s
meeting agendas is lacking. The web
page, he said, “is underutilized, ineffective and sadly neglected. It has little
information pertaining to the meeting
agenda or anything associated with
the school system. It needs your attention and it needs to contain detailed …
information.”
He urged the board to consider
live-streaming their meetings as the
county Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission do. “The equipment
belongs to the supervisors, but all you
have to do is ask to use it. Whatever
happened to School Board transparency? You have a public affairs officer.
The public is not being kept abreast
of the school activities or the School
Board agenda. It’s like everything on
the School Board is a big secret. You
get $50 million in … tax money a year
and you think you answer to no one.
This has got to stop.”
Donna Chandler, an outspoken parent whose children went through Accomack Schools, wants the board to pay
attention to policies. She said the annual handbook will offer a rule but individual schools will not always follow
the policy guide. Chandler also urged
the panel to keep cell phones out of
the classrooms as students are taking
photos of fights between students and
teachers taking disciplinary measures and posting them online before parents
are notified. The students, she said,
should be getting ready for college.

Shore Chosen for Economic Initiative
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
Rural Development and Virginia Cooperative Extension has announced that
the Eastern Shore is one of two Virginia regions selected for the 2015-16
Stronger Economies Together (SET)
initiative. The Eastern Shore and the Mount
Rogers Planning District (Bland, Carroll,
Grayson, Smyth, Washington, and Wythe
counties and the cities of Bristol and Galax) will be the focus of an initiative to
explore economic advantages and formulate economic blueprints for the regions.
“The regions’ economic blueprints
will strategically build on the current
and emerging economic strengths,” said
Basil Gooden, state director of USDA
Rural Development for Virginia. “Both
Virginia regions have tremendous potential for economic growth. The SET
planning process will facilitate key discussions resulting in a high-quality
economic plan that works in partnership with the great natural resources
of both areas.”
The Eastern Shore and the Mount
Rogers Planning District were selected from among seven regions that submitted applications earlier this year.
They will join 21 other regions across
13 states selected for SET in 2015.
“Extension is excited to partner with
Virginia’s USDA Rural Development office, the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, and
the Virginia Tech Department of Agriculture and Applied Economics to deliver the technical expertise that will
lead the regions through the planning
process,” said Edwin Jones, director of
Virginia Cooperative Extension.
The technical support team includes
the Virginia Tech Office of Economic
Development, the Virginia Rural Center, and various agencies from the Office of the Secretary of Commerce and
Trade, including the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, Virginia Tourism Corporation, and Virginia Economic Development Partnership.

Hospital Gets New
Head of Nursing
Riverside Health System has announced the appointment of Patty
MacDougall, DNP, RNC, as the new
nurse executive for Riverside Shore
Memorial Hospital. MacDougall
comes to Riverside
from the University
of Maryland Shore
Regional
Health,
where she was director of accreditation and patient
safety as well as site
administrator. She
previously worked
MacDougall
as manager of the
Mother-Baby Unit
at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.
MacDougall said her attraction to
working in the Riverside Health System included being a part of the Riverside Care Difference which puts patients at the center of a collaborative
health care experience. In addition, the
team members she met during her interviews and those she has gotten to
know since have left a lasting impression. “It was the team members,” MacDougall said. “They were knowledgeable and immediately welcoming.” Her education background includes
a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from
Salve Regina University in Newport,
R.I., a Master of Science in Nursing
from Old Dominion University and a
Doctor of Nursing Practice from Old
Dominion University. MacDougall also has an Associate’s Degree in Social
Services in General Studies from Tidewater Community College in Virginia
Beach, Va.
As nurse executive, MacDougall
said she is excited to not only lead the
nursing staff but also to focus on the
patient experience. “I regularly visit the patients and introduce myself,”
she said. “It’s important to me that our
patients know how committed we are
to helping them to heal. If anything
is standing in the way of the patient’s
needs, it is my job to help our team find
a solution.”
But there’s one thing in particular
about her new job she is eager to start
on. “My favorite part of my job is the
mentoring of the staff,” MacDougall
said. “So many of them are already
pursuing certification and advanced
degrees. The enthusiasm is contagious. I love interacting with them.”
MacDougall is married and has two
children living in the Hampton Roads
region. Among the places she has lived
are on the West Coast, including San
Francisco, Calif., and in Spain while
her husband served in the U.S. Navy.

laude from Tidewater Community

CAPITAL LETTERS
By Sen. Lynwood W. Lewis Jr.
s the summer is, unbelievably,
winding
down,
I wanted to update you on some
activities in the
commonwealth
and the 6th Senate District.
First, we have
been called back into Special Session by
Gov. McAuliffe to deal with the federal
court’s mandate that we redraw Virginia’s 3rd Congressional District because
the court found race was used unacceptably to construct the district, represented by Congressman Bobby Scott. I
am hopeful that this will give further
support to a move toward non-partisan
redistricting in Virginia. I introduced
redistricting reform legislation during
the last General Assembly Session and
I plan to re-introduce it again, to make
sure this very important matter stays
on the front burner. Redistricting is the
fundamental cause of dysfunction in
Washington and the growing tendency
toward government dysfunction here in
Virginia. The prospects for a successful redistricting special session are not
bright. There have been no real “across
the aisle” discussions or activities that
would prepare this session for a success.
Should we fail to redraw the lines
of the 3rd Congressional District by
the Sept. 1 deadline, then the court
will likely draw them for us, which, in
any event, will likely result in a better,
more fairly constructed 3rd District.
The Virginia economy continues to improve with a projected $553 million surplus. That is somewhat deceiving in that,
by law, much of that surplus is already
spoken for. A substantial portion will have
to be deposited in the state’s “Rainy Day”
fund to restore it and also into the state’s
Water Quality Improvement Fund.
Still, we are obviously in a much
better position going into the 2016 Virginia General Assembly Session than
we were last year. As a cautionary
note, federal budget sequestration remains a sword hanging over the head
of Virginia’s economy. Sequestration is
A
a prime example of Washington’s dysfunction that I just talked about in regards to the needs of non-partisan redistricting. Their inability to work together in Washington on budgetary
and many other matters is largely a
result of these hyper-partisan districts.
We had an exciting announcement recently and an end to the controversy over
launchpad repairs at the Mid-Atlantic
Regional Spaceport with an agreement
finally reached between Orbital TDK
and the commonwealth. I was pleased to
be involved in facilitating the agreement
so that we can move past last October’s
mission failure and on to become a leader in commercial spaceflight activity.
The spaceport will also play a very
important role in Virginia’s new economy. There are many exciting things
happening at Wallops Island which
will greatly benefit this district and the
commonwealth. The governor also announced agreement with NASA as to
the operation of the Unmanned Vehicle Runway, whose construction should
begin soon. Virginia is one of only five
FAA designated test sites as we seek
to integrate this unmanned aerial vehicle technology into the civilian world.
This, too, offers tremendous opportunities for economic development.
The updated Route 13 Corridor Safety Study, which began in the spring as a
result of public meetings I organized last
year on the Shore, should be completed
in the fall and we all look forward to seeing what we can do to improve safety on
this heavily traveled corridor.
I was pleased to present my Senate
Resolution 111 along with Del. Bloxom’s House Resolution to honor all of
the first responders and public safety
personnel who helped in the aftermath
of the Cherrystone tornado last July.
It was a somber event remembering
the three who perished and those who
were injured, as well as honoring those
whose service helped so many.
After Labor Day, the headlong rush
toward the 2016 Virginia General Assembly will begin. This will be a budget
Session. I can be reached at 787-1094

more to eliminate the friction.”
Meanwhile, the proposed solar
project took a hit. After much discussion the board voted unanimously for
Crockett’s motion to send a letter to
the State Corporation Commission
(SCC) to oppose the project’s quest
to become tax exempt when building
80-megawatt solar panels and a substation on about 1,000 acres on Withams Road in Oak Hall.
The county was offered $2.26 million in an unclear proffer that involved Eastern Shore Solar, LLC
and the world-renowned company,
Amazon. But supervisors said over
the 30-year project, between $8 million and $32 million could be collected.“You’re also talking about Amazon
and they’re going to squabble over a
couple million,” said Supervisor Donald Hart. “They’d put that in a piece
of paper and blow their nose in it.”
The county “didn’t do that for Tyson’s
or Perdue or … Wanda’s business,” he
said of a tax break.
(Continued From Front Page)
The deadline that the company faces should not sway the outcome, Crockett said. “Anybody could come before
this board … we can’t let their mistake
put us in a position to make a fast decision. Their offer thus far for me is not
a good deal.” he added.
“We have nothing in writing,” said
Chesser. He complained of the solar
company’s ploy to divide into four companies to get the exemption. “I don’t
see how anyone can believe that is four
different companies. If they do (get the
exemption), we can appeal it. Personally, I think we are better off if they
leave. … Crops … will do you more
good … only money coming back in the
county is money — rent… money landowners will get.”
Crockett wanted a copy of the letter to the SCC to be sent to the governor, lieutenant governor, senator and
delegate.
Thornton said, “There is a lack of
communication” between the county
and the solar companies. “We’re not be-

ing proactive enough.”
“If they really want this to happen,”
said Supervisor Ron Wolff., “they would
just go ahead and pay the taxes.”
Chairwoman Reneta Major didn’t
want to lose the $2.6 million. “I’m worried that if they get the exemption,
where does it put us? I would hate
for it just to die.” She said the county
needs the money for capital improvements and other purposes.
“Everybody knows how I feel about
this,” said Lewis. “I realize that there
are other states and other places that
are having this solar system put in.
When you take away a thousand acres
of prime farmland, I think that makes
a difference.”
“Just because we’re rural, doesn’t
mean we have to be rural-minded,”
Major replied.

T
he 2015 football season gets underway tonight with Northampton hosting West Point and then
tomorrow Broadwater faces Cape Hatteras at home in a 1 p.m. start.
At this point, local high-school players are excited and hopeful for a successful season on the girdiron. Right
now, these players are not thinking
about the future, but are focused on that
opening kickoff when their long hours
of practice finally culminate in playing
in front of their school supporters.
But, the fact is, football, more than
any other sport, in my opinion, can
build character and dictate your future.
Just ask Anthony Sharpe, a 1978
Central graduate who owes much of
what he has today to football.
Sharpe, visiting his parents this
week on the Shore from Texas, where
he has made his home since 1983, says
he and Garry Stevens were walking
the halls of Central one day when the
principal, John Parsons, called the two
into his office.
“John Howard didn’t talk to you, he
roared when he spoke,” recalls Sharpe
of his principal. “I went in there expecting to do 50 pushups, because that’s
what he usually demanded we do. But
this day, he asked me, ‘Do you want to
go to college?’ ”
“I said, ‘Mr. Parsons, my parents
can’t afford to send me to college.’ ”
“That’s not what I asked you,” yelled
Parsons.
In the office was a Delaware State
football coach, who offered both Sharpe
and Stevens a football scholarship to
play at the Dover school.
Sharpe had been a wide receiver his
senior season in 1978, playing for Coach
Tom Parks on a team that also included
Benjie Bonniwell and Bryan Charnock.
Sharpe remembers the last game of
Anthony Sharpe Owes Much to Football
the season when he felt he was held
in the end zone trying to catch a pass
from Charnock that would have beaten
Onancock and put the Bulldogs in the
playoffs, but there was no call.
“In that day, we never questioned a
call by an official,” Sharpe says. “When
there was no call, we just went back to
the huddle and ran the next play. But
I will never forget that play and feel I
would have made the catch.”
At Delaware State, he bulked up
to 240 pounds on his 6’, 4” frame and
played defensive end, leading his team
in tackles. He is currently listed seventh all-time in the Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference with 350 career
tackles. A captain his senior season at
Central, Sharpe also was named captain of the 1982 Delaware State squad.
This past year, he missed by one
vote being named to the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame and hopes to gain
admittance in 2016.
At Delaware State, Sharpe earned a
degree in business administration and
became the first member of his family
to graduate from college. Stevens’ football career was cut short by an injury,
but he got his degree.
“That was a big day when I graduated from college,” says Sharpe, one of
five children raised by Clarence and
Tomashie Sharp. “We all gathered here
at my parents’ home in Painter and
drove up to Dover for the graduation.
Married to the former Lorrie Mears,
who also graduated from Central,
Sharpe went to Texas after his graduation from college because he had a
brother stationed there in the military.
He has been there ever since, working in communications and now nearing retirement. “I tell my friends the
weather has kept me in Texas,” he says.
“When I call home and hear of pipes
freezing, I am in a T-shirt and shorts.”
With three children who were involved in sports and now a 6-year-old
grandson he coaches in youth sports,
Sharpe has stayed involved in sports,
both as a volunteer coach and an official. He is also a trustee in his church.
Looking back, he realizes football
was the road that led him to his current
life. “I grew up in college and would
never have gotten the opportunity to go
there without football. Coach Parks and
Phil McCaleb were a big part of my life
in high school. I heard Phil passed this
past year. He was hard on me, on all of
us, really, but it prepared us for life.”
Sharpe says he also owes much to his
parents. “I know I am blessed to have
two parents at this age (55), who are still
alive and together. My parents weren’t
strict, but you knew what they expected
of you. Work hard and treat people right.
That will carry you far in life.”

(far left), with a 102, was second. Arcadia’s Ashley Holcomb (above) led her

Cape Charles’ Joe Gittinger Wins Special Angler Open
Joe Gittinger of Cape Charles won
the Special Angler Open Division of
the Special Angler Foundation Catchand-Release Tournament recently.
Until Friday, Aug. 7, Gittinger, fishing for the Town of Cape Charles Pier
Team, had been stuck at four species:
a puffer, sea robin, pinfish, and black
sea bass. Other anglers, seeing his
progress fishing the Cape Charles Pier,
stormed the town last Friday in an attempt to neutralize his advance.
In the heated fishing duel that developed on the pier, Travis Smith of
White Stone, the 2015 Special Angler
National Champion, quickly picked up
three species: a black sea bass, a pinfish, and a very rare gag grouper, a species not well known to Virginia waters.
With the pressure building, Gittinger

hurled a “Hail Mary” and made a dash
to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel
Pier, with Smith in hot pursuit. Gittinger
quickly scored on a sea mullet, bringing
his count to five species. Smith then answered with a sea robin catch. Gittinger
then fired back with a sliver perch catch,
securing his first-place standing.
Throughout this week, Gittinger
has continued to bring in several other
catches, including pigfish, and several
bluefish. His catches have caught the
eye of the Cape Charles chapter of Fish
Dispatch, in which he has become a
sponsored angler, providing catch reports to their fish report.
Gittinger heads to the Northern
Neck this coming week to defend his
Special Angler Division title in the
Dream Fields Spanish Mackerel Tournament. Since the inception of the Special Angler Division in 2013, Gittinger
has either won the division outright or
tied for first place. He will be fishing
this year for the pride of the Eastern
Shore aboard the Jimmick Jr. III, captained by Jim Diebler.

Cobia are now hanging around the

ESSHL Titans Bring Home the Tiki Again in O.C.
Local All-Stars Repeat in Street Hockey
For the second straight year, the
Eastern Shore Street Hockey League
Titans have won the 2015 Cool Hockey
Events Beach Bash Hockey Tournament held in Ocean City, Md.
The Titans, made up of All-Star players from the ESSHL Senior League,
traveled to compete in this three-day
tournament against teams from North
Carolina, New Jersey, New York and
Pennsylvania.
Over the course of the three days,
the Titans played four games that
led them to their second championship, two qualifying games on Friday
and Saturday and tournament round
games on Sunday.
The Titans’ first match was against
AIT Kings from Pittsburgh, Pa. With
some breakdowns in defense, the AIT
Kings handed the Titans their only
loss of the tournament, 6-3.
With some major adjustments and
refocusing, the Titans were on a mission to rebound and defeated their
next opponents, Mayhem, also from
Pittsburgh, in a very close 5-4 decision.
With qualifying games completed, the
Titans were seeded second in the Rec.
Division and had to play a very tough
Jersey Fresh team from Transboro, N.J.,
to advance to the division finals. The Titans went up 3-1 early in the game, but
a young Jersey Fresh team came back to
tie the game at 3-3. In the end, determination helped the Titans get ahead 5-3
to secure their spot in the finals.
Heading into the finals Sunday evening, the Titans faced the fourth-seeded team of Anarchy from Pottstown,
Pa. The game got off to a slow start as
both teams seemed tired, but the TiThe Eastern Shore Street Hockey League Titans include (from left):

Broadwater Short on Numbers, But Not Talent
Story and photos by Bill Sterling
Broadwater enters the season with
a home game against Cape Hatteras
tomorrow with only 18 players, and
five of those are up from the JV squad
and will see their first varsity experience this season.
But the Vikings are not lacking for
talent, with their leading rusher and
receiver, as well as an experienced
quarterback, returning.
Tyler Major ran for 1,482 yards last
season in only eight games and scored
24 touchdowns while averaging an
eye-popping 10.5 yards a carry.
Major Morgan caught 31 passes for
349 yards and with Taylor Major, who
grabbed 14 receptions for 225 yards
last year, will be the primary targets
for quarterback Austin Murphy, who
threw for 876 yards and six touchdowns last season in eight games.
Senior Thomas Scott has seen plenty of action in the backfield and will
be counted on heavily with a position
change possible due a shortage of linemen. Christopher Locklear is athletic
and will help out in the backfield. Jimmy Lord and Sawyer Coulbourne will
see action as a receiver.
The key for those Viking playmakers will be an inexperienced line that
will need to provide the time and room
for the backs and receivers to operate.
Dontae Weatherly provides bulk
and is a proven commodity, and with
Hayden Mabalot, the team’s most experienced lineman, will anchor both
the offensive and defensive lines. Jack
Salm and Liam Kelly return from last
year to bolster the line. Casey Wescoat
will see action as a safety.
Matt Albertson, Brian Drummond
and Hunter Bonniwell are newcomers
who bolster the offensive and defensive lines. Bowde Arvidson is another
young player who will provide backup
in the defensive backfield. Trip Wescott
will be a backup running back and defensive end.
Depth will be a factor, and certainly
the Vikings cannot afford many injuries with such a lean squad.
Broadwater will need its key players
to go both ways. Morgan had 50 tackles
and a sack last season, and look for the
Major twins to be active on defense.
“We don’t have everyone we expected for various reasons,” said Broadwater coach Noble Palmer, “but I like this
team and know these guys are ready
to compete and give their best. We are
not going to back down from anyone.
We will be there to line up for at least
10 games this season.”
After having only two home games
last season due a cancellation, the Vikings are home for five dates and two
of their away games are at Chinco
teague: on Aug. 28 and a rare matchup with Arcadia on Sept. 25.
Let the games begin tomorrow.

Jackets Upping the Ante This Season
Story and photos by Bill Sterling
Northampton broke a losing streak
last season that had stretched to 37
games, but still suffered a 1-9 season
after three consecutive 0-10 seasons.
Now the mission is to make winning
not the cause for the joyous celebration
that accompanied the 36-26 win over
Middlesex in the fifth game last season, but the expected outcome when
good players execute the game plan.
Still, with only five seniors, Jacket fans
might need a bit more patience before thinking about winning seasons.
However, the 2015 squad is going to be
more competitive and will be in most
games. Last week they battled Arcadia
in a scrimmage and showed their mettle with a breakaway touchdown by
speedster Tamaze Brisco and a strong
effort on defense.
“We have an older varsity and JV
team with a lot more experience after
last season where a lot of young players played large roles,” said Jacket
coach Ty Traister. “While it’s still early
I think we are leaps and bounds ahead
of where we were last year at this time.
I look for us to be more competitive
week in and week out.”
Playmaker Dyshawn Beckett returns after making many of the big
plays for the Jackets last year. A quarterback last year, Beckett will likely
be featured as a running back with
Tyler Handwerk and Polite Bratcher
battling to be the starting quarterback with Mitchell Pidgeon in the mix.
Frederick Williams, Raysaan Burton,
Mike Jones, Durell Robinson and Darion Anderson will also tote the ball for
the Jackets.
Tamaze Brisco, only a sophomore,
exudes athletic talent that was evident when he caught a short pass and
dashed 70 yards for a touchdown in
a scrimmage with Arcadia last week.
Thomas Javon, Devin Hill, Cody Goller
and Kelley Kwalon are other receiving
targets for the Jackets.
Senior Austin Brady brings plenty
of experience to the line while Quinyon
Williams, an All-District selection last
year, adds bulk with his 6-5, 265 pound
frame. Brandon Brittingham, Devin
Taylor, Jontrell Walker, Michael Jones,
Demitrius Trower and Justin Satchell
will see action up front.
Carlton Smith and Jaquan Johnson
are linebackers with Brandon Wood at
defensive back.
With about 30 players on the JV
team, the future is looking brighter
for Northampton, but these varsity
players, who have endured some long
nights on the gridiron, are thinking
about the present and wins, starting with the opener at home tonight
against West Point.
Northampton players, with Coach Ty Traister in the center, celebrate
their win over Middlesex last season, breaking a 37-game losing streak.

T
hrowing hand grenades and
playing horseshoes are said to
be the only two activities where
“almost” actually counts.
After last weekend, I’m going to have
to disagree with such an assessment. That’s because I “almost” blew my
car’s engine. Yes, I let the oil level get
so very low. I think “almost” bordered
on “near catastrophe” in that scenario. Then there was a temporary “almost” total malfunction in my vehicle’s air conditioner caused by the lack
of antifreeze in the vehicle’s radiator. I
cannot live without AC, which is really
what alerted me to the oil and the radiator issues. One just cannot ride with
the window down when it is above 80
degrees.
An Eastern Shore Post computer,
which is usually attached to me, was
“almost” a goner last weekend. I had to
take it over to Virginia Beach to the Apple Store. (Hint to anyone who wants
to make it local.) I got it checked out
and it was the same problem as about
three weeks ago — a bad video card.
Post Office Mail
Northampton Government
Needs To Be Transparent
Dear Editor:
Thanks again to Ron West of the Eastern Shore
Post for covering the ongoing debate over the proposed rezoning of Northampton County parcels by
our Board of Supervisors.
As your tireless scribe reported, during the Aug. 11
board meeting, a small army of former Northampton
planning commissioners and supervisors, as well as
scientists, real-estate and health
professionals and small-business
owners pleaded with county officials to cease and desist this ill-fated attempt to turn Northampton
County into something it was never meant to be.
Some of your readers may remember last year
when we hinted that the attempt to completely rewrite our current protective zoning ordinance to a
more industrial and invasive tilt might have more
driving it behind the scenes than was visible on the
surface.
In response, then-Chairman Larry LeMond vigorously insisted that there were no behind-the-scenes
dealings with outside interests, and defended the
Zoning Department’s work as independent, pure,
and unassailable.
But we held fast, as we knew that the proposal to eliminate lot coverage limits and setbacks for
poultry houses, as well as changes that would allow
large-scale incineration of chicken waste and car-
AND I “almost” lost all the photos I
took over the weekend because I was
downloading them when the computer
went haywire. A new friend, Bandit, a gigantic
black Lab with the whitest teeth I’ve
ever seen, “almost” bit me. He took a
large chunk out of the arm of my favorite shirt (which I was wearing at
the time) and caused me to scream
and back away. And “almost” freak
out.
There was no “almost” about the
error in this column last week. I said
the hare beat the tortoise. I must have
been pretty near (or almost) close to total confusion. Thank you, Bill Lazenby
of Atlantic, for being “almost” shocked
over such a mistake and passing the
word through your daughter, Nan-
casses, HAD to be driven by more than a spin of a
zoning wheel of fortune. Another paragraph in the
chapter of this zoning fiasco was again written by LeMond during the board’s recent work session when
he asked the reporters at that meeting to help him
dispel the myth that the county had ANY indication
that the poultry industry wanted to build industrial
chicken houses in Northampton County. Once more
he chastised the citizenry for spreading misinformation in this regard, inferring that we were again trying to stir up the debate with false allegations. Note
that during this lecture, our zoning administrator
and economic development director stood at the podium shaking their heads in agreement.
It was therefore more than significant when, during the public
comment period at the Aug. 11
meeting, our former Northampton County process coordinator,
Rebecca Geary, told the board
that Economic Development Director Charles McSwain had indeed spoken at length
with a Tyson representative regarding changes to
our current zoning ordinance. Mrs. Geary said she
received that call and patched it into Mr. McSwain’s
office. She informed the supervisors that after a near
hour-long phone conversation with the poultry rep,
McSwain reported that the proposed zoning ordinance gives the industry everything they needed to
set up housekeeping in Northampton County.
It is nearly unbelievable that our zoning administrator, our county administrator and the chairman and former chairman of the Board of Supervisors were kept in the dark about our Zoning Department’s consult with poultry industry reps regarding
changes to our zoning ordinance. If they did know,
Post OpEd Page
cy-Jo, to me about it. A faithful reader is “almost” better
than chocolate. Yippee!
I am going to look at the good stuff
that came out of all this. My car’s engine is fine. Its air conditioner is working. I got a new computer. Triple-decker YIPPPPEEE! The old computer is
getting fixed again for a back-up. The
photos magically appeared on the new
computer. Bandit and I became fast
friends. And Mr. Lazenby helped me
clear up the error of my ways. And
thinking about all that caused me to
go to the chocolate tin. Oh, also, that word “its” in the paragraph nearly (almost) caused me to
hang my head. I never can remember
when an apostrophe is used. Still, life is more than “almost” good.
shame on them. If they did not know, they are out
of touch with the daily operations within the county
and they are not doing their job. Period.
So to get back to last year’s tussle about possible
“behind-the-scenes” maneuvering, I say the citizenry needs an official apology from every supervisor
(except Supervisor Granville Hogg, of course, who is
never let in on such shenanigans). Any good business
man or woman knows that once you lose your reputation by not being honest in a business transaction,
no amount of money can ever buy it back. The same
rule holds true for public trust and confidence in our
elected officials.
