Woman Says Man
Tried To Kill Her
By Linda Cicoira
A 22-year-old member of the National
Guard has never been in war but she did
fight for her life in Oyster last Oct. 24.
Paige K. Eminhizer was jogging on
Sunnyside Road near the village when a
car struck her from behind. She testified
Thursday in Northampton General District Court that the driver got out and
started beating her in the head with what
she guessed was a tire iron, then forced
her into the vehicle, drove her to other
locations, threatened her with a knife,
fought with her over his long gun and
tried to break her neck and choke her be(Continued on Page 17)

County & Town To Discuss New Water & Sewage Services
By Linda Cicoira
Negotiations regarding water and sewage services
are expected to get underway between Accomack County
and the Town of Onancock in January, officials disclosed
Wednesday night.
Accomack supervisors voted to form a committee
to handle the issue, which will include services for the
new hospital in Onley and possibly surrounding areas.
The board appointed County Administrator Steve Miner,
Board Chairman Donald Hart and Supervisor Robert
Crockett to meet with the town. Crockett, who lives near
the town treatment plant and represents the surrounding district, said the town appointed its representatives
Monday and requested a meeting.
Onancock Mayor Russell Jones, Councilman T. Lee
Byrd and Town Manager G. Cabell Lawton IV will represent Onancock at the talks. Crockett said with that many
officials in attendance, the session will have to be public.
A date has not yet been set for the meeting.
Earlier this month, the supervisors discussed building
a wastewater treatment system at the Industrial Park in

A 21-year-old Exmore man was killed
Tuesday afternoon in a traffic accident
near Cape Charles, according to State Police Sgt. Michelle Anaya.
Anthony Scott McHan was driving north
on Lankford Highway,
north of Route 644, at
about 1 p.m. Tuesday
when he lost control of
the 2001 Toyota Tundra and ran off the
road, causing the vehicle to overturn several times, Anaya said.
McHan, who was not

wearing a seat belt,
was ejected and died at
the scene. Alcohol was not a factor in the
crash, Anaya added.
Trooper S.N. Kulick investigated.

Northampton’s Appointed School Board Conducts Its Last Session
By Ron West
Northampton County Public Schools
closed the final chapter on its history
of appointed school boards at its session Wednesday.
On Jan. 1, members of the county’s
first elected School Board will take the
reins of the three county schools.
Superintendent Dr. Walter Clemons
thanked the outgoing board members.
Each received a plaque.
A fifth board seat became vacant
earlier in the year with the death of
member Calvin Brickhouse.
Clemons reported that the current
student population stands at 1,558, with
an additional 140 special-education and
pre-K students. Fourteen new students
entered the county’s schools over the
past month while 38 left. Primary factors
cited for the continued decline in student
enrollment include limited opportunities for employment in Northampton
County, public perception of the quality
of education there, and increasing availability of faith-based and other private
educational institutions in the area. It

is projected that this trend will continue
for the next five years. By 2019, the enrollment for K-12 students is expected to
be fewer than 1,400, almost 1,000 less
than 15 years ago.
Representatives of Edison Learning,
the company hired to help turn around
declining standardized test scores, reported that it is continuing to provide
staff with help prior to the spring testing period. Edison Learning is completing the final year of a three-year $2.4
million contract to assist the schools.
The “Report Card” for the three schools
still shows that they are struggling to
meet the minimum state guidelines
for passing the Standards of Learning
(SOL) tests in math and English.
In addition, the high school continues to have a problem reaching the
graduation index needed for full accreditation.
It will be left to the incoming elected
board to decide if an outside firm such
as Edison Learning will be retained to
help with the test scores.
Board Vice Chairman Mickey Merritt questioned the Edison representatives about students who are struggling to grasp skills at one grade level
before they are challenged by the materials at the next grade level.
In response, Merritt was advised
that students who had not mastered
the skills at one level would be given
additional tutoring.
Board member Ann Terry suggested
that they might consider shifting such
students to another classroom where a
teacher was having more success with
teaching a given skill. “Some of our
teachers need to learn new ways to teach
some skills rather than presenting them
the way them always have done.”
Director of Operations and Transportation Chris Truckner reported that
an offer to donate a surplus boiler for
the high school had been received from
Bayshore Concrete. But upon examining the boiler, Truckner found that it
would not work at the building. Board
Chairman Dr. Richard Drury noted that
while the offer did not work out, it was
commendable for a company to offer to
help the schools. “It shows that there
are members of the community that are
interested in supporting the students
and schools in the county,” Drury said.
A new program to improve student
nutrition has been initiated in the County. “Smart Bites” encourages high-school
students who visit fast-food establishments to make healthy selections when
ordering their food. Subway and Machipongo Trading Company offer students
healthy options. As a bonus, they receive
a stamped card, which can be used in a
school drawing for prizes.
Prior to concluding the session, the
board reviewed changes that are coming to the Virginia Retirement System
(VRS) for new employees. The plan
calls for those hired after Jan. 1, 2014,
to be offered “Hybrid VRS.” Under the
short-term disability (STD) requirements for Hybrid employees, it will
no longer be necessary to accrue sickleave balances to be used in the event
of an illness or disability that exceeds
five work days. This may require a cap
on the total number of sick leave days
that a Hybrid employee can accrue.
It also may require a stipulation that
Hybrid employees will only be eligible
to participate in the Sick Leave Bank
for the first year of employment (when
they are not covered for non-work related disabilities).
School Finance Director Brook
Thomas noted that she had attended
a Hybrid VRS discussion forum and
suggested that for now, the board
should monitor the program and be
prepared to make policy changes if
needed. Thomas stressed the need for
the school system to remain competitive with regards to employee benefits in order to attract and retain
employees.
The next School Board session
is slated for Jan. 15 at 6 p.m. at the
School Administration Building. At
that session, the newly elected Board
will select a new chairman and vice
chairman to lead the schools for 2014.
Laid-Off First Med Employees File
Class-Action Lawsuit
By Linda Cicoira
A class-action lawsuit filed by three
former workers of First Med, Inc., a private ambulance service that employed
about 35 workers on the Eastern Shore,
is asking U.S. Bankruptcy Court to
award wages and benefits to thousands
who lost their jobs earlier this month
after the company closed down.
Papers filed in the court claim the
corporation violated the federal Warn
Act and other state laws. The plaintiffs want their “unpaid wages, salary,
commissions, bonuses, accrued holiday
pay, accrued vacation pay, pension and
401(k) contributions and other COBRA
benefits.” They say they were terminated without cause and without notice.
Local workers said they were promised final paychecks late last week but
did not receive them. Their last day of
work was Dec. 6.
The corporation filed for Chapter 7
bankruptcy in U.S. Bankruptcy Court
in the Eastern District North Carolina
on Dec. 11 under the name American
Ambulette & Ambulance Service, Inc.
Documents state there are about 5,000
creditors and $10 million of debt. Assets are valued between $1 million and
$10 million.
Branden Engle and Justin Bage
both worked for the company at its Toledo, Ohio, branch and filed the lawsuit.
Engle’s last day was Dec. 6. Bage was
terminated on Nov. 20. John Rosenbaum worked from a Portsmouth, Va.,
office until Dec. 10 and also is listed as
a plaintiff.
“First Med was an ambulance service
provider that operated in six states, was
the largest provider of EMS services
in Ohio,” they wrote in the court documents. “In shutting down, defendants
terminated approximately 2,000 similarly-situated employees along with
Plaintiffs, all without advance notice.”
Bloxom Volunteer Fire Company
and Melfa Volunteer Fire & Rescue
each gave Shore First Med workers
food baskets last weekend to help them
cope with unemployment. The two
companies collaborated so they didn’t
duplicate items. The baskets included
ham, potatoes, canned vegetables,
eggs, cheese and other staples.

Zager’s Position at Riverside Shore Memorial Eliminated
By Linda Cicoira
In a money-saving move toward
better “efficiency,”
the job of Riverside Shore Memorial
Hospital
Vice
President
of
Development
and Community
Outreach Joe Zager was eliminated
Tuesday, effective
in mid-February.
Zager
Riverside
Health System Public Relations Director Peter Giagola blamed the action on
the “negative bottom line” for 2013 and
“rising costs,” including $7.3 million in
charity care and $2.2 million for obstetrics and emergency care for 2012.
Zager’s position was the only one to
be cut. Giagola said, “His role will be
absorbed by” Hospital Administrator
Susan McAndrews, with “organizational support from Riverside Corporate resources.”
“Joe was pivotal to bringing Shore

and various private medical practices
on the Eastern Shore into the Riverside family,” Giagola continued. “We
express our gratitude to his commitment to improving healthcare on Virginia’s Eastern Shore.”
Remarking on the situation, Zager
wrote in an email Wednesday, “I would
just like to express my appreciation to
the Eastern Shore community for the
opportunity I have had these past 10
years to serve as the hospital’s administrator and most recently as development director. My wife and I have commented repeatedly over the years that
this has been, by far, the best place we
have lived to raise our family.”
From 2003 to 2009, Zager served as
president and CEO of Shore Health
Services, Inc. He was vice president
and administrator from 2009 to 2012
and has held his current post since
January 2012. It entailed acquisition
of land, design and construction of the
new Onley hospital and serving as liaison between Riverside Health System
and the Shore’s medical community.
Before coming to the area, Zager
worked in the healthcare field in South
Carolina, Alabama and West Virginia.
Police Seek Man Who Beat Dog With Baseball Bat
By Linda Cicoira
An investigating officer described the crime as the most
“vicious attack” he has seen in 28 years of police work.
Authorities are looking for information that would lead
to the arrest of a man who arrived on foot at the Walmart
parking lot in Onley at around 9:15 p.m. Dec. 6 and beat a
Labrador retriever with a baseball bat.
Onley Police Officer George Bennett said that after being
alerted to the incident, he and State Police Trooper J.D. Kirk
arrived at the scene to find two dogs in the back of a red pickup truck. One dog was missing a patch of skin on his head
and was cut on the snout; the other was not injured.
A witness told Bennett that she “saw what happened and
confronted the man,” who then fled. The woman, who was not
identified for her safety, then “ran into the store to get help.”

Bennett said video recordings made by cameras positioned
outside the store show the crime being committed by a white
man about six feet tall and weighing approximately 200 pounds.
He has a grayish or white beard or goatee and short hair and
is believed to be in his 40s. The video also shows the man
fleeing in the area of Onley Road across Lankford Highway.
“He raised the bat to her,” but apparently thought twice
about using it, the officer added. When the man approached
the dogs, both of them wagged their tails as if they knew
him, Bennett said.
Bennett found the owner of the dogs, Daniel Parks of
Parksley, in the store and told him what happened. Bennett
said since then, Parks reported that both dogs are fine.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to

New Lieutenant Governor
Comes Home to Shore
Bullfeathers
“Clearly the best”
787-1887

By Ron West
Last week’s annual Eggs and Issues
gathering featured Lt. Gov.-Elect Ralph
Northam, the first person from the
Eastern Shore to win statewide office in
nearly two centuries.
Northam, a Democrat, spoke of the
need for both political parties to put
aside personal agendas and work together to move Virginia forward. He
praised outgoing Gov. Bob McDonnell
for putting together a transportation
package that funds improvements to
the road system in Hampton Roads.
Northam noted that the governor, a Republican, was able to bring the members
of both political parties in the General
Assembly to the table to compromise.
Northam predicted that the upcoming session of the General Assembly
will focus on energy, Medicaid, and
workforce development. “The leaders
need to promote medical care for business employees,” said Northam, a pediatric neurologist. “There are 400,000
workers that don’t currently get medical coverage, which can be corrected
with Medicare. People without insurance coverage go to the ER for care and
that hurts the economy if they aren’t
covered.”
In closing, Northam spoke of the
need to support education programs
in the state, partly through improved
workforce training. “Not everyone who
graduates from high school will attend
college,” he noted, suggesting that the
school systems in the state need to reinvent vocational and technical education
programs.
A second part of the education puzzle, according to Northam, is to aim for
universal pre-K education. If children
entered school at an earlier age, they
would have a better opportunity to get
on the right path toward success in
school, he said.
Del. Lynwood Lewis, a candidate
for the Senate seat being vacated by
Northam, echoed the comments of the
lieutenant governor-elect. Lewis said
that reforming the state Standards of
Learning (SOLs) needs to be a focus
of the General Assembly. Admitting
that the SOLs probably are not going
to go away, Lewis suggested that they
be addressed in a different format that
wouldn’t hamstring teachers.
Lewis mentioned the need to fund
and provide mental-health coverage in
the state. He cited the recent incident
during which state Sen. Creigh Deeds
was injured by a family member in need
of mental-health care who was sent
home from a hospital without receiving
treatment.
Accomack Board of Supervisor Chairman Donald Hart also addressed the
gathering, citing the positive things occurring locally, especially the new sense
of cooperation between the two Eastern
Shore counties. Subsequently focusing
on his own county, Hart said, “Accomack
County had a prosperous year. It’s more
pro-business than it has ever been.” He
added that the expansion of the Wallops
Space Port, the new hospital coming to
Onley, and the natural gas supply line
that will be coming south from Maryland all will bring new business opportunities.
Hart also spoke of the success of
the new Emergency Medical Services
(EMS) response system, known as
SPRINT, that is allowing EMS personnel to reach the side of a patient
sooner.
The last speaker for the morning
was Northampton Board of Supervisors Chairman Willie Randall. While
Randall was not re-elected for the term
beginning in January, he spoke of the
success of the board in pushing forward
improvements to the Zoning Ordinance
that will make it easier for businesses
to operate in the county.
Noting Northam’s push for statewide
pre-K education, Randall noted that
Northampton County is the only county
in the state that offers the opportunity
for all 4-year-olds to receive free pre-K
education.
Other improvements, such as the
broadband effort and new business
growth in the Cape Charles area, are
bringing new businesses and job opportunities. “The county is on the right
track to move forward,” Randall said.
Court Postings
By Linda Cicoira
Accomack District Court
A Gargatha man who was acquitted
in August in connection with the 2011
shooting death of a Guatemala native
is back in jail on gun-related charges.
According to records filed in Accomack
General District Court this week, Tyvon
Lyncurtis Smith, also known as Teddy
Smith, 20, of Diamond Springs Boulevard, was charged with maliciously
discharging a firearm in a building or
dwelling occupied by one or more people
in a manner that endangered them, intentionally discharging a firearm in a
vehicle and transporting or possessing
a firearm after having been convicted of
a crime as a juvenile that “would have
been a felony if committed by an adult.”
The offenses allegedly occurred on
Nov. 18. Smith is being held in Accomack
Jail without bond. A preliminary hearing was set for February. Investigator
Pat Coulter of Accomack County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) investigated.
In the previous case, Smith was
charged with first-degree murder, use
of a firearm in a murder, attempted
robbery, use of a firearm in an attempted robbery and possession of a firearm
by a felon. The victim, Belarmino Escalante, 25, died after being shot in
the heart while he and other chicken
catchers waited at the former Godwin’s
Plant World on Lankford Highway.
A mistrial was declared at the first
trial because the jury was deadlocked.
At a second trial, the charges were accessory after the fact of a murder, a misdemeanor, and felony possession of a firearm by a felon. Judge Frederick B. Lowe
said he could not convict Smith based on
the testimony of a co-defendant.
Smith also was charged with assault
and battery by a mob in connection
with a Wattsville incident that occurred
a few days after Escalante was killed.
He was convicted of a misdemeanor
mob crime and sentenced to a year in
jail, with eight months suspended.
In another case filed in Accomack
District Court, Clarence Handy Jr., 19, of
Germaine Lane in Parksley was charged
with stealing a Suzuki King Quad 600
ATV, valued at more than $200 and belonging to Austin Taylor, on Sept. 15.
Handy is free on $7,500 unsecured bond.
He was arrested Dec. 13. Deputy N.J. Bogan of ACSO investigated.
Troy Lamont Duffy, 41, of Daugherty
Road in Accomac was charged Dec. 14
with driving a vehicle after being declared an habitual offender. The incident
allegedly occurred on Lankford Highway in Keller. He is free on $5,000 bond.
Trooper J.J. Renas investigated. A February preliminary hearing is scheduled.
Sheryl Hayman Smolinski, 64, of
Jenkins Bridge Road in Temperance
ville was originally charged with assault and battery of Acomack Deputy
Sam Castillia, a felony, occurring Nov.
10. She was convicted of the lesser
charge of misdemeanor assault and
battery and sentenced to six months in
jail, with five months suspended.
Kyle Allen Wheeler, 51, of Chincoteague will not be prosecuted for grand
larceny, conspiracy to commit the crime
and possession of stolen property with
intent to sell. He had been indicted on
those counts in June.
…………………………………
Accomack Circuit Court
A local crack dealer was sentenced
to 30 years in prison last week in Accomack Circuit Court.
Tyheem Equon Sample, 24, of Woodland Park Drive pleaded guilty to a
third or subsequent offense of possession with intent to distribute on Aug.
28. Ten years of the term were suspended. Another charge of distribution
of cocaine was not prosecuted.
Lena Marie Habel, 53, of Holland Road
in New Church was give a three-year suspended sentenced each for assault and
battery of Deputy E.J. Long of Accomack
County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) on April
9, 2012, and abuse and neglect of a 9-year
old child in August 2011. The terms were
set to run concurrently.
Nathaniel Johnson, 27, of Lynhaven
Circle in Painter was sentenced for
eluding police on Oct. 24, 2012, to five
years in prison, with three years and
six months suspended.
Becky Long, 43, of Lindsey Drive in
New Church was sentenced for creditcard fraud and credit-card larceny on
Aug. 31, 2012, to three years in prison,
with all but two years and five months
suspended. She was ordered to pay restitution of $802.50.
Austin Sebastian Parks, 19, of
Seabreeze Drive on Chincoteague
pleaded guilty to three counts of grand
larceny and a count of burglary. The
incidents occurred on March 1, April 9
and July 7 and 8. Restitution was $210
for a TV and electric heater, $352 for
320 Chincoteague Police Department
pins, $145 for repair of an ATM at Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Department
and $2,100 for a 2011 Yamaha outboard
motor belonging to Donald Ross. A presentence report was ordered. He was remanded to jail to await sentencing.
Bond was denied for James Martinez Snead, 31, of Belle Haven, who was
indicted earlier this month of seconddegree murder in connection with the
death of 2-year-old Jasheena Bull.
Snead was the boyfriend of the girl’s
mother when the child died on April
30. At first he was first charged with
felony abuse and endangerment by a
parent or guardian and was released
on $6,500. But when the indictment for
murder handed down, he was arrested
again and held without bond.
The girl’s mother, Victoria Mae
Joynes, 37, of Belle Haven also was indicted on the abuse charge. She is free
on $5,000 bond.
…………………………………
Northampton Circuit Court
A former correctional officer was sentenced Monday in Northampton Circuit
Court to five years in prison for soliciting
sodomy from an adult family member.
Judge W. Revell Lewis suspended all
but two years of the sentence for Asa
Thomas Taylor, 64, of Franktown. He
also gave Taylor 12 months in jail for
sexual battery, with all but six months
suspended, to run consecutively, giving
him a total of 2.5 years to serve. The
incidents occurred in July 2012.
“My conduct … was reprehensible,”
Taylor told the court. “I accept full responsibility. I am sorry for the pain
that it has caused. … At the time I did
not realize I had a drinking problem.
… I ask for court for leniency. … I am
sorry from the bottom of my heart.”
Lewis took a recess to read a 64-page
victim impact statement included with
the presentence report. He came back
into the courtroom and said Taylor relentlessly pursued the victim, offering
to pay her and to make her the beneficiary of his life-insurance policy. In
addition, Lewis said Taylor regularly
viewed pornography on his computer
and the movies he owned.
“This is a very serious matter,” Lewis said. “I don’t think you have a clue”
how much the victim was hurt. “You solicited her on more than one occasion.”
This was not an “isolated incident.”
In another case, Uneka (Tinka) Unee
James, 23, of Exmore pleaded guilty to
providing a cell phone to a prisoner at
Eastern Shore Regional Jail, a felony,
and counts of delivering matches and
cigarettes to the facility without permission, which are misdemeanors.
Judgment was withheld on the felony
charge. A presentence report was ordered for the misdemeanors. James
was released on existing bond.
…………………………………
Northampton District Court
According to records filed in
Northampton General District Court,
Bobby Lee Bundick, 57, of Painter was
arrested Tuesday and charged with
possession of a firearm by a felon and
a third offense of driving under the influence, occurring Monday. A January
preliminary hearing was scheduled.
Bundick also was charged with misdemeanor eluding.
Exmore Police Officer Jason Campbell investigated.

The Post Has Its Own Christmas List of Readers’ Preferences
By Linda Cicoira
Santa Claus, church, time with
family and friends, technology presents and numerous decorated trees
are among the things Accomack and
Northampton residents plan to enjoy
for Christmas this year.
According to a recent email survey
conducted by the Eastern Shore Post,
94 percent of participants picked Mr.
Claus over St. Nick. They also favored
Ebenezer Scrooge over The Grinch in
a narrower race, with 54.5 percent to
45.5 percent, respectively.
Participants said they would spend
between $200 and $4,000 on presents
this year, with the average just over
$1,000. The gifts will be put under 2.58
trees per household. Seventy-seven
percent said they would display a nativity scene.
Fifty-five percent plan to put an angel on the top of their tree. Thirty-five
percent will use a star, 6 percent will
apply a bow or ribbon and 1 percent
will stick something else up there.

“My favorite tradition is spending
time with family and friends, drinking
apple cider and eggnog and going to as
many Christmas activities as possible,”
wrote Georgette Press of Nassawadox.
She puts up three trees. One is ceramic. Another is “themed with green,
red and gold” and the third is “everything handmade by my kids and
grandkids from school.” Many of her
ornaments have been passed down
through generations. “My oldest decoration is almost 100 … it’s a Christmas house and wooden trees. It came
from my grandmother.” Press puts a
gold star on one tree and an angel on
the other. She also displays “a nativity
scene that my father made in ceramic.”
“I’m not really sure how much I’ve
spent because I buy all year ’round when
I see the deals,” said Press. “I pick things
up and save a lot of money this way.”

Dad reads ’Twas the Night Before
Christmas to all of his children, and
now his grandchildren and greatgrandson,” wrote Ashley Mapp of Onancock. “To this day for those few minutes
I feel like a child again with nothing but
peace and happiness in the world.”
Mapp favors Scrooge. She will have
two Christmas trees this year and is
starting a new tradition of using ornaments “hand-painted by my nieces and
nephews. I buy new Christmas decorations every year and add to the old
ones. You can never have too many decorations … I have a gold star” on one
tree top “and my Nana’s hand-stitched

an army brat who lived overseas a long
time where St. Nick was the norm.
Nowadays it’s Santa who brings the
surprise gifts. Either name, the magic
and spirit of the season live on for me.
“I have a 127-year-old tree ornament that belonged to my greatgreat-Aunt Maria from Belgium,” said
Rinker-Good “It’s St. Nick lifting up a
candle of hope. Our family story says
it was hers from when she was a young
child. I don’t dare hang or display it
these days. I unwrap it, reflect on its
meaning, feeling sorrow, then re-wrap
it (and) hope a new world and generation will bring much needed peace to
our lives.” Her aunt was “a nun in Belgium who was killed by Hitler’s regime
because of her religious beliefs.”
Bonnie Wallace of Keller will be
thinking of her great-grandmother.
“When she was living she would make
Christmas cookies. It was hard to pick
which one you wanted first.” She favors
Santa Claus, The Grinch and an angel
for her treetop.
“Opening one special present on
Christmas Eve,” is Belle Haven resident Brenda Ennis’ favorite Christmas
tradition. She puts four trees up at her
house with a variety of decorations.
Her oldest ornaments are 40 years old.
“My daughters and I made them.” Ennis usually buys one new ornament a
year. “Money and iTune cards” are the
requested items this year, she said.
Nancy Gonzalez of Machipongo likes
going to church on Christmas Eve. She
puts up five trees; the oldest ornaments are 48, the ones she first purchased just after getting married. She
said gift cards are requested this year.
Gonzalez plans on spending $2,000.
Debra Bergner of Hacksneck looks
forward to “opening new pajamas on
Christmas Eve to wear to bed.” She
picked Ebenezer Scrooge. “Not because
I hate Christmas, I love the movies!!”
she noted.
When answering the survey, Berg
ner already had put up three trees. Her
oldest ornament is more than 30 years
old and came from her mother-in-law.
Diana M. Davis of Craddockville
looks forward to reading from Luke
with the family on Christmas Eve. She
puts up two trees, but this year is planning on fewer decorations so her puppy
“can’t hurt herself or the ornament!!”
Her oldest ornament is 50. “It was
mine. Mama and Daddy gave us each
one with our name on them. Someone
made it with glitter and glue on a sil-
ver ball.” Her nativity “goes up before
anything else.”
Angela Mehsling of Accomac enjoys singing Christmas carols around
the fire. She picked Santa, but “I can’t
choose between the most villainous
characters known to Christmas.”
“My oldest ornament is a half globe
with reflective backing,” she reported.
“In the middle of the globe is a golden
colored figurine set of Mary, Joseph
and baby Jesus. My sisters and I used
to fight over who would get to put it on
the tree and how best to display it. It is
probably older then I am. My mother
bought it.” She is definitely going to
church during Christmas. “It really
brings the idea home that Jesus is the
reason for the season.”
Carrie Jacobson of Wachapreague
looks forward to singing Christmas
carols. She and her husband will put
up “a Christmas palm tree and a pink
flamingo. If it is still working.” Her oldest ornament is 35 and was made by
“our daughter … in grade school.” Jacobson said a radio-controlled helicopter is requested at her house.
J.W. Jeffries of Chincoteague said
his favorite Christmas tradition is a
family dinner. The oldest ornament on
one of his trees is 80 and came from
his mother. Jeffries wrote that “electronics” are the top gifts this year. He
is spending $4,000.
Kristy Brittingham said going to
her mother’s house “for dinner Christmas Eve” is her favorite thing. “All the
grandchildren get their picture together taken on Mom’s sofa. Each year
we compare how much they’ve grown.
Great-grandchildren are now being
added! Then Church at 10 p.m.”
Her tree has a blue-and-white
theme; the oldest ornament is about
30. It was her daughter’s first. She buys
new ornaments “every couple years or
if I see one that catches my eye.”
Martha Simpson of Parksley looks
forward to “my children coming at 10
a.m. on Christmas for brunch and opening gifts.” She puts up four or five trees
with themes. The oldest ornament is
about 60 years old and was “my favorite
… when I was a child.” She buys more
every year. “I can’t help myself!”
“My three children and 10 grands
have not given me any specific list”
except my 3-year-old grandson” wants
“Hungry Hungry Hippos.”
Michelle Taylor of Quinby is looking
forward to “Christmas breakfast after
watching the kids open Santa gifts.” Her
oldest ornament is “from when I was a
baby in 1973.” She plans on spending
“too much” money for presents.
“Going around to see the Christmas
light displays,” is Onancock resident
Evan Clements’ favorite tradition.
His oldest ornament dates back to the
1920s and came from his wife’s family.
“We have collected ornaments over
our 40 years of marriage,” wrote Clements, “some handmade, some bought,
some given to us. We call them our special ornaments. We have 2 large boxes.”
Sometimes they put a star on the top
of their tree and other years a “teddy
bear Santa” sits up there.
Nicole Landon of Painter said she
enjoys going to a “church service on
Christmas Eve, followed by Chinese
take-out.” Her oldest ornament was
purchased when she and her husband
first married 16 years ago. She buys
more every year.
Cheriton resident Kim Caison’s
kitchen tree is “beachy.” Her game
room tree is adorned with John Deere
tractors; the main tree has a variety of
ornaments and the “bathroom tree is
small with miniature ornaments.” The
oldest ornament is 40. “My grandmother made it for me.”
Ive Chubb of Eastville likes family
gettogethers. “But it’s not always possible,” she said. Chubb also likes all
Christmas movies and enjoys memories through her ornaments, the oldest
of which is 25 from the first Christmas she spent with her husband. How
much will she spend on gifts this year?
“We have five boys, four daughtersin-law, one girlfriend and four grandchildren. I don’t want to think about
Family

it!!!!!!!!!” she wrote.
“Christmas is about Christ, He is
the reason for the season,” said Chubb.
“My heart is saddened to know that
so many do not celebrate the coming
of our Lord. It isn’t about gifts, lights,
music or the movies, though I enjoy
all that Christmas brings with it. It’s
about Christ coming to be apart of
us. He shared time with us. He loved us
and still does enough to die on a cross
for the removal our sins. All he asks is
that you believe in Him and love Him
and others in return. Wow, that’s a bar-
gain, and He paid the price. You can’t
get better than that. In short, yes I will
make it a point to join a number of music cantatas and services and I will be
at church on Christmas.”
Vic Peppler of Wachapreague said,
“Everyone seems to want the Xbox One
… but the best gifts are handmade and
homemade.”
Linda Regula of Machipongo wrote,
“I told my family if they didn’t tell
me what they wanted (for Christmas)
they were going to get an ‘Ugly Sweater.’ So, I got a lot of ideas.”

Budget Provides for Space Flight Authority
By Linda Cicoira
Virginia Secretary of Transportation Sean Connaughton is recommending that a total of $15.8 million be included in both the 2015 and 2016 state
budget for establishing and operating a
Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority, of which Wallops Flight Facility
would be a part.
A non-general fund of $11.8 million for each year includes making
the authority “a stand alone agen-
cy within the Appropriation Act in order to provide additional transparency
on the use of existing state funds,” according to the 2014-16 Biennium Executive Budget.
Another $4 million is for “operational support for the Virginia Commercial
Space Flight Authority (and) provides
additional resources to address projected costs and reduced launch fees. This
funding will maintain the current operation of the Authority,” the budget states.
~Wastewater~
Melfa that would handle 100,000 gallons per day and serve areas between
there and the county seat.
The cost was estimated at $3.25 million. The plan included disposing of
treated water below the tilling level on
about 85 acres beside the fire-training
center on Beacon Road. The supervisors
voted to apply for permits from the Virginia Department of Health.
Onancock charges $15.47 per 1,000
gallons of sewage. Engineers told the
county board the new system could do
the job for $8 per 1,000 gallons, an annual savings of about $272,000. Jones,
Byrd and Lawton were in attendance at
that meeting but did not speak.
County Attorney Mark Taylor reported a “renewal of dialogue” with
the Garrett Companies about building
a 60,000-square-foot office building at
Wallops Research Park. Taylor said
he “hopes to have exciting news early
next year.”
The board also set a February public
hearing for the county’s Comprehensive Plan review and update. Supervisor Ron Wolff asked County Planner
Rich Morrison to include the importance of public participation in planning and zoning issues in the revision.
The supervisors also passed a resolution of support for a bill that will
come before the General Assembly regarding Eastern Shore license plate
revenue. The plates cost an additional
(Continued From Front Page)
$10, all of which goes to the Department of Motor Vehicles. The bill calls
for the fee to be increased to $25 ,with
$15 going to Eastern Shore of Virginia Chamber of Commerce for education and to promote businesses on the
Shore. Jean Hungiville of the chamber
told the board the move would help the
economy. “It should have been done in
the late 1990s,” she added.
The supervisors also unanimously
voted to ask the state if it could maintain a private lane in the Pungoteague
South subdivision as an unpaved road.
Supervisor Reneta Major spearheaded
the action. Members of the subdivision’s association said the privately
owned street gets a lot of public use
and is in deplorable condition.
Another vote welcomed an application for a conditional-use permit that
would allow a $10 million family apartment complex on 6.4 acres along Lankford Highway near Accomack Manor.
The invitation will help the developer
obtain a $700,000 community development block grant, officials said.
Kim Miles of the Onancock area urged
the supervisors to consider making a proposed new library a top priority. He said
the existing facility’s “resources are used
by many people you don’t hear from.
Visit the library and sit for awhile and
watch the music,” he added. Residents
have been pushing for a new $6 million
building for months.

Dawn Byrd Named To Replace Retiring
Flo Bowers as Head of United Way
The United Way of Virginia’s Eastern Shore announces Dawn Byrd of
Onancock has been named executive
director of the local chapter, succeeding Flo Bowers, who is retiring after 21
years in the position.
Byrd has long been involved in both
the retail and non-profit sectors of
the Eastern Shore, previously serving
as office manager for Great Space, a
design firm in Onancock, and collections manager for the Eastern Shore
of Virginia Historical Society. She also

Learn About Gardening Page One
Have an interest in plants and gardening? Want to meet and
learn from others who have the same interest? Want to join a fun
organization and give back to the community?
Then join the new 2014 Master Gardeners class. No experience
necessary.
The new class is starting Jan. 9 and will continue every Thursday until April 3 at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Research and
Extension Center in Painter. The cost of the course is $100, which
covers materials and lectures by local experts. You may pick up
an application at the Virginia Cooperative Extension Office or
call 678-7946, x29 (Northampton County) or 787-1361 (Accomack
County) for information. You also can get an application and more

Participants will learn about soil, fertilizers, plants and landscaping. They will visit places such as the Norfolk Botanical Garden and develop resources to answer gardening questions. They
will be able to get ideas for their gardens and give back to the
community by volunteering 50 hours during their internship.
After the course and the volunteer hours are completed, participants will be able to call themselves a master gardeners. Nandua Middle School has announced the appointment of

aged 13 and 14 apply for 34 available positions. During her 40-hour
work week, Wells will assist with
daily preparation of the Senate
Chamber, staffing information
desks, recycling, speaking with
school groups and running errands for legislators. She is the

of which
inhizer said resulted from the beating or
struggle and not from the car hitting her.
Once they were in the vehicle, Car-
penter drove north on Seaside Road, she
said. She said she begged him to take her
to the hospital and he said he would, but
when she said she would call her mother
to meet her there, he grabbed her cell
phone and tossed it way.
Next, Eminhizer testified, Carpenter
pulled over on the side of a road and
grabbed both sides of her face in an attempt to break her neck. She said she
moved with him so he was unable to
twist and managed to break away, but
was pushed between the windshield
and the dashboard. The victim said she
kicked at him and he tried to choke her.
During the abduction, he twice kept her
from getting out of the car by grabbing
her hair and her collar, she said.
Eventually, she managed to get away.
Eminhizer said she was running when
she heard him say he would shoot her if
she didn’t stop. She kept going in a zigzag
fashion and went into the woods. Then,
she said, she heard the car drive off. “I
just kept moving.” She soon heard livestock and went to a house to get help, but
no one was home. Finally, vehicles came
along the road and 9-1-1 was called.
Investigator Terry Thomas of NCSO
said Carpenter admitted to him that
he hit the woman with his car. Court
records state, “Accused says it was an
accident and that he was just trying to
help her. He thinks she was taking it
the wrong way and thought he was trying to hurt her more, but he was just
trying to help her.” The file also noted, “Carpenter acknowledged he struck the victim on
Sunnyside Road near Oyster … while
he was under the influence of cocaine,
which he had abused about five minutes earlier.”

A
Sport Magazines from 1950s Tell Stories
n old hunting buddy of mine
and fellow Yankee fan, Curtis Badger, recently loaned me
some copies of Sport Magazine from
the late 1950s that were found by his
wife, Lynn.
I spent some time reading those back
issues this weekend. They were from a
time I was a young boy who was just
beginning to follow sports, already idolizing Mickey Mantle and also taking an
interest in football and basketball.
Here are some observations gleaned
from reading stories published over 50
years ago.
It’s kind of refreshing to read these
old magazines — no stories about
PEDs, no football players with felony
indictments, and top baseball players
pulling down $40,000.
The story refers to journeymen baseball players barely making more than
$10,000 a year. The $27.5 million now
being paid to Alex Rodriquez annually
earns him $169,753 per game or over
$18,000 an inning if he played every inning over a full season. Of course, he gets
that amount for playing far fewer innings.
Costs have risen since then, but not
by that much. A professional grade
Spalding baseball glove, according to
an ad in Sport, cost $27.50, with the
Al Dark youth model going for $12.95.
Speaking of ads, many promote cigarettes, showing athletic types enjoying a Winston or Camel.
Others advertise firearms, where a
reader can order a Marlin .22 rifle with
a scope for $29.95.
One of the best basketball players,
Bob Cousey, was up to $25,000 after
starting out at $9,000 coming out of
college as one of the top players in the
nation.
The magazines show some football
players still playing without a face
guard. But even those who used one
tended to go with the single bar.
It’s often stated that today’s players
are bigger and stronger. That is proven
when the magazine calls a 242-pound
lineman “massive” and a “giant.” Linemen in today’s game typically weigh
well over 300 pounds.
A 6’, 1” quarterback was described
as “tall.” Today, pro teams would shy
away from someone that height for not
being tall enough.
The articles were written by some of
the best sportswriters in the nation at
the time, including Roger Kahn, Furman
Fisher, Dick Schaap and Howard Cosell.
They must have been paid by the
word because the articles are extremely long with pages of gray matter and
few photographs. It seems the writers
almost lived with their subjects for
weeks to get the details for an article.
In a story, “What the Yankees Think
of Mickey Mantle,” by Roger Kahn, author of the famous baseball book The
Boys of Summer, no words are spared
describing Mantle’s sometimes immature behavior. “A strikeout sends him
into a sulking rage. He made a habit of
kicking the water cooler in the dugout
after strikeouts until one day Casey
Stengel remarked gently, ‘That water
cooler ain’t strikin’ you out, Son.’ ”
It was kind of sad that Mantle, the
ballplayer almost every boy wanted to
be, really seemed to derive no joy from
playing baseball, despite his obvious
physical gifts.
Golf was just becoming popular with
the masses, spurred by the emergence
of the charismatic Arnold Palmer.
A story on Sam Snead talks about an
era when the leading money winner on
tour might make $60,000 for the year.
Snead, still the winningest golfer of all
time, had $300,000 in career earnings
in 1958 when he was 46. Today, Tiger
makes three times that much by win-
ning one tournament.
Snead, close friends with Ted Williams, told the Splendid Splinter his
game wasn’t so tough. “Heck,” Snead said,
“when we hit a foul, we got to play it.”
Boxing was much more in the national spotlight in that era. Heavyweight champ Floyd Patterson was
featured in several issues.
When it came to women’s sports —
in that era before the term “politically
correct” came into vogue — many of
the articles tended to focus on their
looks. For example, one article was entitled “Pretty Girls Can Win,” showing
female athletes in poses better suited
for models.
All in all, about 100 pages each, the
magazines revealed much about the
time — and all for a quarter.

Hunters for Hungry
Seeking Donations
The Eastern Shore Chapter of
Hunters for the Hungry greatly needs
deer donations during this final month
of deer-hunting season. With the recent restriction of doe harvest days
by the Virginia Department of Game
and Inland Fisheries, deer donations
are down from the same period in the
past. Now that the restriction has
been removed for the remainder of the
season, the chapter is asking hunters
to donate deer to the program.
Deer must be properly registered
and field-dressed only, not skinned out.
The deer may be taken to the refrigerated trailers at the Foodbank in Tasley
and BB Convenience on Lankford Hwy
in Machipongo. Brent Powell also receives deer at his processing location
in Wachapreague off Bradford’s Neck
Road. There is no cost to the hunter to
donate deer to the program, which is a
non-profit organization. Contributions
are deductible as allowed by law. With
2013 closing, the chapter encourages any
cash donations to pay for the processing
costs for the deer. Donations, made out

Nandua Needs Overtime to Nip Northampton, 92-86
Story and photo by Bill Sterling
Nandua outlasted Northampton 9286 in overtime in the opening matchup
of Shore District play last Thursday
night.
The Warriors took a 21-16 lead after the first quarter, but Northampton
rallied and took a 24-23 lead early in
the second quarter on a Zeb Carter
3-pointer. Nandua regained the lead
quickly and never relinquished it,
holding a 10-point lead in the third
quarter before Northampton stormed
back in the fourth quarter to tie it up
at 78-78 with 20 seconds remaining.
With momentum and a home crowd
making a lot of noise, Northampton
took a brief lead in overtime before
Nandua pulled away to a 14-6 margin
in the extra period.
Nandua was led by Trayvon Snead
with 32 points on 11-of-15 shooting.
Tyreim Blake added 25, Issac Taylor
scored 19 and Troy Planter had 11
points.
For Northampton, Carter scored 23,
Raquan Anderson had 21, and Gregory
Smith scored 17.
Foul shooting played a key factor
in the game as Nandua was 31 of 61
from the line compared to 19 of 31 for
Northampton. Four Jackets fouled out
of the contest.
The 6-foot, 7-inch Taylor had a
game-high 14 rebounds for Nandua.
Tysean Stratton led the Jackets with
11 rebounds. Carter had a game-high
five assists for Northampton.
For the Jackets, it was their opening game of the season, and Northampton coach Wayne Bell saw things that
pleased him. “I was happy with the
way we played. Our young players
stepped up in their first varsity action.
We missed some free throws that hurt
us. But, overall, we played well.”
Nandua coach Cedric Cooper was
relieved to get away with the win on
the Jacket home court. “They always
play with a lot of emotion in front of
their home crowd. I told the players
we needed to take the fans out of the
game, but they got on a roll in the final quarter and came back. We did
well to steady ourselves and get the
win.”
Nandua Tops Lancaster
Nandua easily downed Northern
Neck foe Lancaster 68-49 Saturday afternoon at Onley.
Trayvon Snead led the Warriors
with 16 points,Tyreim Blake scored
12 and Issac Taylor added 11 points.
Anthony Smith scored 7, and Mahagee
Wise tallied 6 on 3-of-3 shooting.
Nandua held a 23-13 lead in the
second quarter when Blake swished
a 3-pointer and Snead converted a
3-point play after being fouled to
open a 16-point lead. Lancaster never
threatened from that point.
Taylor led Nandua with 10 rebounds. Blake had a team-high four
assists.
Ponies Get First Win
Chincoteague got its first win of the
season with a 59-52 win over Holly
Grove Friday.
Larry Harper led the Ponies with 21
points, eight rebounds and added two
blocks and two steals.
Mason Marshall added 11 points,
including two three-pointers, and Cory
Reifler had a team-high 11 rebounds.
Seth Owens gave the Ponies a spark
by scoring all eight of his points in the
second quarter.
“Defense and controlling the boards
won the game for us tonight,” said
Chincoteague coach Will Thompson.
We took care of the ball tonight and
made decent decisions by only turning
the ball over 10 times.”
Arcadia Tops Chinco
Nandua’s Troy Planter drops the ball back to a trailing teammate in the
Warriors’ 68-49 win Saturday.
Arcadia blew open a four-point
game at halftime with Chincoteague
for a 74-38 win at the Pony gym last
Thursday.
After a slow start, the Firebirds used
a 27-7 advantage in the third quarter
to register the win. Five Firebirds were
in double figures, led by Taylor Major
with 20, John Wright with 14, Travon
Copes and Teon Giddens with 13 each,
and Tyler Major with 10.
For Chincoteague, Larry Harper
had 16 points and eight rebounds. Cory
Reifler added 12 points. Pony coach
Will Thompson said turnovers hurt his
team, with 14 in the first half and 15 in
the second half.

Arcadia Edges
Nandua 68-67
Wednesday night Arcadia stormed
back from a 10-point deficit in the final quarter to defeat Nandua 68-67 as
Taylor Major led the Firebirds with 25
points. John Wright had 13.
Nandua, who had a shot at the buzzer to win, was led by Trayvon Snead
with 19 points.
The win gives the Firebirds the early lead in the Shore District standings
with a 2-0 record.
Firebird coach Alvin Justice said
his team battled back and played well
down the stretch.
Vikings’ Fast Start Leads to 72-42 Win Over Jackets
Story and photos by Bill Sterling
Broadwater jumped to an 11-0 lead
and stretched it to 22-3 after the first
quarter en route to a surprisingly easy
72-42 win over Northampton Monday
at the Viking gym.
Wesley Shrieves scored 7 points in
the opening stanza and was joined by
teammates Michael Riopel and Seamus Cooney with 5 each and Brendon Burrows adding 4. Meanwhile,
Northampton misfired on all but one
shot after opening the season with 86
against Nandua and 75 against Alliance Christian.
“With good defense comes offense,”
said Viking coach Eddie Spencer. “We
played our best ball of the season in
the first half. We got away from what
we were doing in the second half, but I
was pleased with the overall effort we
gave tonight.”
Northampton coach Wayne Bell
said, “We shot ourselves out of the
game in the first half. They got on a
roll, we didn’t answer. It was one of
those nights.”
Broadwater handled a Jacket pressing defense with precision passing that
led to numerous easy baskets as Matt
McCaskill scored 12 of his 16 points in
the second quarter to push the Vikings
to a 44-17 halftime lead. In addition
to driving to the basket, McCaskill hit
two of the five Viking treys in the first
half.
Riopel also had 16 points for Broadwater. Shrieves and Cooney had 11
each, and Burrows, honored before the
game for recently scoring his 1000th
career point, tallied 10 as five Vikings
reached double figures.
For Northampton, Zeb Carter and
Gregory Smith had 13 points each.
BA Falls by One Point

Broadwater got off to a slow start,
trailing 18-7 in the first quarter before rallying, only to lose 68-67 last
Thursday to Williamsburg Christian
Academy, always one of the top hoop
programs in the Virginia Independent
Schools Athletic Association.
The score was knotted at 61 entering the final quarter.
Wesley Shrieves and Michael Riopel led the Vikings with 18 points
each. Matt McCaskill had 14 points,
and Brendon Burrows contributed 12
points. Both Riopel and Shrieves had
11 rebounds, and Burrows had a teamhigh six assists.

Nandua Girls Take Early District Lead with 61-52 Win Over Jackets
Story and photo by Bill Sterling
The Nandua girls’ basketball team
established itself as the early favorite
in the Eastern Shore District race with
a 61-52 win over Northampton last
Thursday night at Onley.
Derrica Toppin had 23 points to lead
the Lady Warriors, who used a 16-7
advantage in the second quarter to
take a 29-20 halftime lead. Khadijha
Robinson scored 11 of her 16 points in
the first half to help stake the Warrior
lead. Carrington Hinton-France added
8 points.
Northampton was led by Whitney
Metz with 16 points and Briana Williams with 15 points. Jateria Harmon
had 7 points.
Northampton pulled to within 3
points at 38-35 after three quarters,
but a 21-point onslaught in the final
quarter by Nandua, with Toppin and
Robinson scoring 5 points each, fueled
the win.
“I am proud the way the girls played
hard and played together throughout
the game,” said Nandua coach Kim
Giddens.
Nandua Falls in OT
The Nandua girls lost a tough 65-63
overtime decision to Lancaster Saturday afternoon at home.
After trailing 52-49 with 2:50 remaining, the Lady Warriors took the
lead with a pair of free throws and a
3-pointer by freshman Kyteria Smaw,
who had a game-high 25 points, only
to see Lancaster force overtime with a
basket in the final seconds.
Lancaster’s Zykeia Bullock scored 6
points in overtime to lead the Red Devils to the win.
Nandua’s Robinson added 16 points
to Smaw’s stellar effort. Jakoriah Wise
scored 6.
Firebirds Win Thriller
The Arcadia girls edged Chincoteague
33-32 in a nailbiter that went down to
the last few seconds last Thursday.
The Lady Firebirds got their first
win of the season, with Sarah Jones,
Jasmin Holden and Damequa Lankford
getting 6 points each and Tazmonique
and Ja’Quagia Tull scoring 5 each. Nor-
maya Harris grabbed 15 rebounds.
“We are a young team with two returning starters, and it was good to get
our first win,” said Arcadia coach Claudia Collins.
Chincoteague was led by Chelsea
Pitts with 14 points, followed by Taylor
Filipic with 11.
The two teams traded baskets from
the outset. With under 10 seconds remaining, Chincoteague’s Kristen Fox
stole the ball and drove in for a layup,
drawing a foul to pull the Lady Ponies
within one point. The foul shot to tie
the game rimmed out.
Despite the loss, Chincoteague coach
Kelly Fox was pleased. “I am so super
proud of those girls,” Fox said. “I really
couldn’t ask for a better team of girls.
They worked extremely hard. Every
single one of them gave 100 percent of
themselves both physically and heart.”
Wednesday night the Nandua girls
stomped Arcadia 62-17 at Oak Hall
as Kyteia Smaw scored 14 points and
Khadijha Robinson and La’Kendra
Riggins added 9 each. The Nandua JV
won 38-4
Nandua’s Kyteria Smaw scored 25
points in a loss to Lancaster.
Arcadia Takes Second, Northampton Third in Parkside Wrestling Tourney
Arcadia took second place and
Northampton third among 10 teams
at the Parkside Christmas Wrestling
Tournament in Salisbury last weekend.
Arcadia placed six wrestlers, with
Hunter Tatum first at 195, and Zach
Sepelak first at 220, Tah’re Pettit second at 106, Samuel Crippen third at
132, Geo Hernandez third at 138, and
Cody Bloxom third at 145. Among the
Firebird JV wrestlers, Breonte Shrieves and Deon Holden took first, Kain
Turner, Jordi Velasquez and Damien
Kirkpatrick took second, and Marcus
Robinson took third. Arcadia coach Charles Godfrey said,
“The boys wrestled hard. I was very
proud of everyone. We have a lot of new
kids who are mixing things up, and our
veteran wrestlers are really taking the
lead. We have a high tempo in the room
and I think it is showing.”
Northampton placers were first place,
Charlie DeMarino Jr. 9-0 and Alan Killebrew 9-0; second place, Steven Wilson
8-1, and Ediel Carranza 8-1; third place,
Taylor Shrieves 7-2, Aden Ingram 7-2,
Hakeem Berry 7-2, and Solomon Owens,

and DeVante Hairston 6-3.
Northampton’s JV wrestlers fared
well. Nick Collins, Billy Martinez-Delgado, John Curry, DJ Upshur, and Chris
Montalvo placed first. José Ibarra and
Brandon Brittingham placed second.
“The team is starting to take shape,”
said Northampton coach Will Leland.
“The boys didn’t just wrestle well. I had
many compliments from multiple people
talking about how well they handled
themselves sportmanship wise. Sometimes as a coach, I’d rather have those
compliments than any other accolades.”
Nandua placed eighth in the tourney with only eight wrestlers competing. Four Warriors placed, including
Thomas Reid (152) taking second, going 8-1; Tyrek Collins (126) and Matthew Tyler (220) both placing third,
going 7-2, while Jack Schrieber (113)
took fourth, going 6-3.

Six Viking Gridders Make First-Team VISAA
Six players from Broadwater were
selected to the first team All Virginia
Independent Schools Athletic Association for Division 4.
Robert Fritz was named to both the
offensive and defensive squads as an
offensive lineman and a linebacker.
Wesley Shrieves also manned two
positions as a defensive back and punt
returner.
Also on the first team offense are Michael Riopel as a wide receiver, Adam
Bowen as running back and Preston
Richardson as a tight end.
Brendon Burrows was named first
team as a defensive lineman. Burrows
also made the second team as a running back.
Ben Holland was chosen to the second team as a quarterback.
Shrieves was named to the second
team as a wide receiver.
Riopel was named honorable mention as a defensive back.
All seven Broadwater players receiving VISAA honors are seniors.
The Vikings reached the state semifinals this year with an 8-2 record.
Last year the Vikings advanced to
the state championship game with a
10-2 record.
Coach Noble Palmer pointed out that
in a nine-game regular season schedule,
his starters only played a half or less in
four games because the Vikings registered blowouts with early leads.
Robert Fritz
Fritz was “like a coach on the field,”
according to Palmer. “He is very intelligent and when a defensive call was
made, he knew what every player on
the defense should be doing.” Fritz was
the leading tackler on the team the
past two years, this year making 64
tackles, causing four fumbles and making seven sacks. On offense, Fritz has
started at left guard for three seasons
and was called by Palmer “the team’s
best offensive lineman.”
Wesley Shrieves
Shrieves repeated as an All-State
kick returner, this year averaging 32
yards on nine kickoff returns and 24
yards on six punt returns, scoring a
touchdown on a kickoff and two on punt
returns. A versatile player, Shrieves
ran for 470 yards on 33 carries and
eight touchdowns, but also had 14 receptions for 502 yards, averaging an
astounding 36 yards per catch with six
touchdowns receiving. “Wesley could
score from anywhere on the field in a
variety of ways,” said Palmer. “He’s a
real game-breaker.”
Michael Riopel
Riopel was also a first-team VISAA
wide receiver last season. This season
he grabbed 28 passes for 537 yards and
seven touchdowns, averaging 19 yards
a catch. “Michael was a disciplined
receiver who ran precise routes. Our
quarterback knew Michael would be at
a certain spot when he threw the ball.”
Palmer said Riopel was also a key defensive back whose absence in the state
semi-final game after a first-quarter injury hurt the Vikings significantly.
Brendon Burrows
Burrows, at 6’,2” and 235 pounds,
provided the Vikings a physical player who also possessed great skills.
Named to the first team as a defensive lineman, Burrows had 42 tackles,
four fumble recoveries and nine sacks.
He also blocked a punt and returned
it for a touchdown and returned an
interception for a touchdown. “Brendon is a versatile, complete player,”
said Palmer. “Offense, defense, special
teams, he did it all.” Burrows, named
to the second team as a running back,
had 61 carries for 537 yards and nine
touchdowns. He also caught 11 passes
for 141 yards and kicked extra points.
Adam Bowen
Bowen was a repeat selection as
a first-team All-State running back.
The speedy back had 64 rushes for
780 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 11.9 yards a carry. “Adam has
tremendous vision on the field and
the ability to cut back. He also had
the ability to square up when he hit
the hole,” said Palmer, who noted that
Bowen missed one game with an injury, and like his teammates, played
limited minutes in several games, or
his stats would have been even better.
Preston Richardson
Richardson, named as a first-team
tight end for the second straight year
by VISAA coaches, was used by the
Vikings in a variety of ways. Often, he
was an H-back, both running the ball
and blocking for other backs. Receiving, he had 15 catches for 135 yards
and three touchdowns. As a runner,
he gained 160 yards and scored six
touchdowns. Richardson, one of the top
shot putters and discus throwers in
the state, also showed his strength on
the defensive line. “Preston was very
important to our team, and we used
him in lots of different situations,” said
Palmer.
Ben Holland
Holland was a second-team selection
as a quarterback, throwing for 1,239
yards and completing 67 of 112 passes
for 15 touchdowns.
His completions
averaged
18.5
yards. “Ben had a
tremendous feel
for the offense. I
trusted him, and
if I didn’t have
a play ready, he
called one that
was right for the
situation. He put
a lot of time in after practice,” said
Palmer.

First Med Appreciates Support
from Local Stations 6 & 10
Dear Editor:
On behalf of the former employees of First Med
EMS, who found themselves suddenly and unexpectedly unemployed after the company went bankrupt on
Dec. 7, we wish to pass along our most sincere thanks
and gratitude to the members of Bloxom (Station 6)
and Melfa (Station 10) volunteer fire departments,
and local communities for collecting and distributing
food baskets and gift cards to us on Dec. 15.
Those items will come in very handy in our time
of need. Many thanks to all who donated goods and
time to help one of their own.
David Adams, Atlantic
Swine & Wine Raises Record
Funds for Boys and Girls Club
Dear Editor:
The final numbers are in.
The 2013 Swine and Wine fund-raiser for the Boys
and Girls Club, Eastern Shore Unit, was the most
successful ever, raising over $20,000 for the local
chapter.
Held at Central Green in Painter, this year’s event
was attended by a record number 180 people who enjoyed a great meal and the music of Mr. B. and the
Boys. In addition, a short program featuring Lucero
Diaz, the 2012 Youth of the Year for South Hampton
Roads, told the story of the local chapter.
The Eastern Shore Unit of Boys and Girls Club
serves more than 200 youth annually. Our members
receive a hot meal, academic tutoring, and lessons
in life skills each weekday at an after-school program at Occohannock Elementary School. During
the summer, our members attend a full-day program
that opens its doors at 6:30 a.m. and closes at 5 p.m.
Our mission focus is to enable all club members
to achieve academic success, good character and citizenship, and healthy lifestyles. The club boasts some
amazing success stories of members being the first
in their family to attend college, or even to graduate from high school. Members of the Eastern Shore
Unit have won four of the past seven Youth of the
Year awards for all Boys and Girls Clubs of Southeast Virginia (a total of 11 clubs in 7 different cities).
The Board of Directors of the Eastern Shore Unit
wants to thank the many sponsors, auction donors,
and local businesses who made Swine and Wine possible. There were far too many to name here, but be
assured your contributions are making a difference
in the lives of those children who need us most.
If you would like to make a year-end gift to the
Eastern Shore Unit of Boys and Girls Club (a 501(c)
(3) entity), please send a check payable to BGCSEVA
to P.O. Box 845, Exmore VA 23350, or go to bgcseva.
org and click on the donate square at the top of the
screen. And THANK YOU!

Witness of Cat Abandonment
Has Seen to Its Welfare
Dear Editor:
The cat thrown from the pick-up truck is doing
well. As the pick-up truck sped away that day, the
beautiful kitty ran into the woods behind a private
home nearby. It soon showed up near our parked car
and we were happy to see it and, of course, fed it!
The cat hopped into our car trunk a few days later
and a friend of ours, who lives in the area, picked
the cat up and took it to where she works, which just
happened to be a veterinarian’s office!! The cat is a
neutered male with a wonderful, friendly “personality” and is in a warm, comfortable Animal Clinic
awaiting its new home, as of this writing.
No one should assume the witnesses did nothing!
M. Hillman, The witness
Exmore Commends Post’s
Coverage of Its Growth
Dear Editor:
On behalf of the Greater Exmore Business and
Community Association (GEBCA), we would like to
extend a hearty thanks to Ron West and the Eastern
Shore Post for the expert and accurate coverage you
provide on the issues that are important to all of us
who live on the Shore. In particular, hats off to Ron
for his recent coverage on the steady and exciting
resurgence of Exmore’s business and administrative
climate.
Mr. West has been diligent in his reporting on Exmore. Whether there is just a handful of people at
town meetings or a packed house, Ron is there, offering unbiased and comprehensive reporting on the
important issues that come before the town.
As reported by Ron in the Dec. 6, 2013, Eastern
Shore Post (‘Exmore Coffers in Good Shape’), Exmore is enjoying a comeback that we could not even
imagine several years ago. Under the navigation of
a new mayor (Doug Greer), a new town manager
(Shoreborn and bred Robert Duer), bright new faces
on Town Council, as well as a dedicated and com-
mitted town staff, Exmore’s economic and business
future is looking better than it has for decades.
Making the hard and tough decisions has resulted in a municipal bank account nearing $800,000.
Plus, we have an exemplary police department, a
hard-working public utility crew, and a new helmsman over the sewer and water infrastructure (Taylor
Dukes). Combining this with affordable rents and attractive available storefronts in the downtown business district, Exmore is enjoying a perfect storm,
causing many entrepreneurs to take a second look at
this town, which lies at the very center of Virginia’s
Eastern Shore.
The town is absolutely abuzz with new energy
and we are hearing from even the casual visitor that
the town has a whole new feel, vibrant and inviting.
So if you are considering throwing your hat into the
entrepreneurial ring, we encourage you to visit this
wonderful little town … it just might change your
life like it did ours when we invested in this town
years ago.
Ken Dufty and Elvin Hess, on behalf of GEBCA
Local Response to Jimmy Rowley’s
Death Impresses His Family
Dear Editor:
My grandfather told me, “Firefighters and EMS
look out for one another.” When I experienced that
love firsthand upon the death of my relative, Jimmy
Rowley, it made me not only more proud of Jimmy,
but also deeply aware of the love and respect people
have for each other on the Shore.
I have attempted to find the words of appreciation for everyone involved, but words simply are not
ample. The family deeply gives thanks to everyone
involved in laying him to rest.
Brian Crockett, Richmond, Va.
