Public Offers Suggestions on Arsons
By Linda Cicoira
Shore residents agreed this week
they could help catch a local arsonist by
being more alert. Some also suggested
increasing the $5,000 reward so people
would come forward with information
about the nearly 45 blazes that have
been intentionally set since November.
State Police reported Thursday the investigation in pursuit of the arsonist(s)
is continuing. Uniformed patrols and
surveillance have been increased and
arson and crime-scene investigators
from other agencies are helping.
“We have developed several strong
leads as to who may very possibly be behind these fires,” said Capt. T.A. Reibel,
commander of the BCI Chesapeake
Field Office. “We are confident that a
few of the arsons are the work of some
individuals seeking to take advantage
of what has become a serial crime spree.
“But, the evidence collected from the
other fires indicates that the majority of
the arsons are the work of several individuals possibly working in connection
with one another,” Reibel stated. “Solving
crimes like these does require public participation. It’s that one tidbit of information that a … resident knows about that’s
going to affect the arrest and successful
prosecution of the person(s) responsible.”
Three incidents were reported in
the last week. Police said there was an
abandoned structure fire on Jan. 31 on
Boston Road near Craddockville, a blaze
in an empty airplane hangar on Feb. 1
on Locustville Road near Onley and a
fire in an abandoned barn on Foxgrove
Road near Parksley. A storage-shed fire
on Pine Ridge Road in Melfa was determined not related to the arsons.
“Increase the reward to $50,000!”
Dan Hillman of Locustville suggested
in an email survey conducted by the
Eastern Shore Post. “Consider what it
is costing the county, including the sher-
iff’s office, the fire departments and the
potential cost of life. The county should
find the funds to allow the reward.”
Calling for security lighting and cameras around abandoned buildings, Hillman said, “If the property is owned by
an uncaring person … then there is no
opportunity to follow these suggestions.
I believe the motivation of the arsonist
is (to) eliminate all of the unsightly and
dangerous abandoned buildings. … He/
she could suspect the county does not
want to do anything about these structures. … It costs money to take them
down and do away with the debris.”
“I think it may be someone who
drives around for a living,” said Joyce
MacCready of Accomack.
“If people spent more time looking
out their doors and windows than they
did logging into Windows and Facebook, he may have been seen by now,”
commented Connie C. Burford. She
suggested, “Buy your ammo, load your
guns, turn off your lights and watch
your house and your neighbor’s house
and the barn down the street and everything you can see around you.”
Another unidentified person said
the arsonist(s) are likely parking a vehicle where it wouldn’t be noticed. “I
think if they draw a circle around each
fire they will find some physical characteristic in common.”
Betty Mariner of Pungoteague
wants a local agency “to set up neighborhood watch groups … it might take
time educating individuals about what
to watch for and helping the groups organize, but it would increase eyes on
potential fire sights (and) it would be a
positive step helping people feel safer.”
Theresa Adams of Belle Haven suggested residents “be aware of suspicious activity and report it to someone
that will listen.”

Bridge-Tunnel Commission Considers
Adding One Tunnel to Span
By Linda Cicoira
Two plans are being reviewed by the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel
Commission regarding construction
of a $1 billion tunnel at the Virginia
Beach end of the facility, Finance Director Tom Anderson said Wednesday.
About $200 million has been put in
a fund for that use and other long-term
projects. In the last fiscal year, Anderson said, about $46 million was taken
in, with nearly $18.5 million left after
bills were paid. Of that, 16.3 million
was added to the kitty for those projects and other unspecified non-routine
items. He said that in 2011, $16.4 million was added to the reserve.
One tunnel plan calls for the project
to be started in July 2020. The alter-
native would be to begin construction
in 2018. Neither is expected to cause
delays as “construction should be separate from traffic.”
“It would cost less if you build it
sooner,” Anderson said. “Right now
would be an ideal time with low interest rates and depressed construction
costs.”
Regarding lower tolls that are being
sought by Accomack and Northampton
county leaders and some citizens, Anderson said, “The full commission has
not considered anything.” He said a
motion was made at the last meeting,
but members then decided to wait until April when a traffic study would be
available and they could “potentially
construct a capacity plan.”

Chincoteague May Allow Work on Sunday
By Linda Cicoira
Chincoteague officials could consider allowing construction work on Sundays in the future.
A spokesman for the Fairfield Inn,
which is being built on the island, reported at a Town Council meeting
Monday that his crew has lost 28 days
of work because of the town’s ban on
Sunday labor. He asked council to consider changing the ordinance.
The issue was sent to the Ordinance
Committee. Chairman of that group,
Councilman Terry Howard, was positive about the request. “There are provisions in the event of storms,” he said,
referring to Hurricane Sandy. “It’s not
etched in granite. We’ll put it on the
agenda for the Ordinance Committee.”
Jim White, who lives near the site,
gave his support to the project. “We
don’t have problem with noise … on
the construction site,” he said, noting that only 12 Sundays would be
involved and then the occupancy tax
could be collected sooner.
The inn is expected to provide 27
new jobs and bring in about $135,000
in occupancy taxes.
Accomack Supervisor Wanda Thornton asked council to consider a presentation regarding tree injections to battle pine bark beetles March 19 or 21.
“We lost enough trees from the hurricane,” Thornton said, noting that the
injection involves less labor. “It’s perfected and it works,” she said.
“It would be better than spraying,”
said Howard.
Others agreed that it would be more
environmentally friendly. Spraying
involves two to three applications per
summer, whereas the injection would
be good for a decade.
In another matter, council voted
unanimously to allow a boulder-type
bench to be erected at Donald Leonard Park in honor of Martha Leonard.
Vice Mayor Arthur Leonard, son of the
couple, said, “She was his rock. They
were a team.” Council agreed to honor
the request since, as Mayor Jack Tarr
stated, “It is different than all the other requests we’ve had.”
Robinson, Farmer, Cox Associates
gave an “unqualified opinion,” which
is the best rating, for the annual town
audit, reported Aaron Hawkins of the
firm. He said the town has a $3 million
cash balance and noted that amount
is “good compared with other towns of
this size.” Hawkins also reported that
the town has no new debt and retired
some debt in the last year.
Council approved a budget amendment that includes an increase of
about $50,000 in legal fees, more
than $150,000 in reimbursements
from FEMA, about $18,000 in additional money for public restrooms and
$50,000 for dredging at Robert Reed
Park. A complete listing is available
at the town office. No one commented
during a public hearing on the topic.
Public Works Director Harvey Spurlock announced that free mulch could
be obtained at Curtis Merritt Harbor.
The mulch was produced from downed
trees during Hurricane Sandy. Residents can just go get it or call 336-3366
for more information.

“Pay attention … to anyone filling
up cans with gasoline and call 911,”
said Tom Sharpley of Greenbackville.
“Too many people just don’t want to get
involved, so they avoid what may seem
suspicious.”
Eveline Cropper of Horntown said
someone dismissed from a local fire
company could be holding a grudge. “I
would suggest the property owner take
action whether it be to tear the building
down or some other appropriate action.
What I don’t want to see is an increase
in purchase of guns and other weapons.
Yes, we all have the right to defend our
life and property, but we want to do it
within the confines of the law.”
Reibel urged residents to continue
calling in tips. “Your information has
been incredibly valuable,” he said.
Putting out a fire can dramatically
contaminate evidence at the scene, which
is why State Police ask residents to call
911 or #77 on a cell phone as soon as any
kind of suspicious activity is spotted. To
report other information, call 1-800-5828350, 757-424-6820 or 787-1131.

Accomack Grand Jury
Seventeen county residents were
indicted by an Accomack Grand Jury
Monday on charges including armed

charge of robbing Patrick Thomas at his
Grotontown Road home in April 2010.
Bess also was indicted on a count of using
a firearm in the crime. He was arrested
in November 2012. According to court records, the victim told police he answered
a knock on his door and three people, in-
cluding Bess, “rushed inside.” Bess, who
was carrying a shotgun, “told him to
get down on the floor and demanded
money,” the records state. ACSO Investigator Anthony Bright gave information about the case to the grand jury.

charge, the jury was also tasked with

Charges of attempted robbery and
use of a firearm against Smith were
dismissed earlier in the trial due to
lack of evidence.

Wachapreague OKs
Meals Tax
By Linda Cicoira
Wachapreague Town Council passed
a 2 percent meals tax Tuesday in a 4-1
vote. The measure will take effect next
month and prompted Councilwoman
Val Vincent, who cast the opposing ballot, to resign.
“Recently, approximately 95 percent
of our citizens expressed opposition to
a meals tax proposal,” Vincent said in
a letter of resignation. “This was so divisive an issue that it led to the resignation of our esteemed, hard-working
Mayor Daniel Bilicki and Vice Mayor
Bill Burnham. At that time, I put the
Town Council on notice that I too was
considering resignation if the meals
tax proposal moved forward.”
“I promised that I would give 100
percent to my responsibilities representing the wishes of the majority of
our citizens, and I have done that,”
Vincent continued. “I feel that I cannot
effectively work with the current Town
Council members when they completely disregard the majority of our citizens’ expressed desires.”
Vincent said Interim Mayor Fred
Janci asked the others to consider giving
him a month to review the proposal. He
was appointed to the post in mid-January. At the same time, Stuart Bell was
appointed as an interim council member.
The majority of members still wanted to take a vote on the issue, said Vincent. Janci only votes to break a tie.
Bell was absent for his first session.
Members Selina Coulbourne, Aileen
and John Joeckel – who are married
– and Bonnie Munn voted in favor of
the tax. Munn also was chosen by the
council to serve as vice mayor.
Exmore Welcomes New Town Manager
By Ron West
At its session Monday, Exmore
Town
Council
welcomed
Zeke
Jackson, who will
serve as its newest town manager.
Jackson
comes
to Exmore from
Freemont,
N.C.,
has experience as
a high-school eduJackson
cator and in local
government.
During the citizen-input period,
Jean Harris questioned council about
the quality of the town water. Harris
noted that the water in her home recently has developed a sulfur-like odor.
She said she is boiling her tap water
before using it. Interim Town Manager
Arthur Miles replied that the town water tank is undergoing maintenance
and one of the two wells providing
water to the town had quality issues
that were producing the problems she
mentioned. Miles added that additional chlorine is being added to the water
from that well to help compensate for
the odor. While the water does have an
odor, Miles stated that it is considered
safe to drink and that once the work
has been completed on the water tank,
water quality should improve. Councilman Charles Ward noted that the solution to the issue would be to obtain
funding to drill a new well to provide
water to the tank.
Town Police Chief Angelo DiMartino told council that his department
is seeking grants to pay for a replacement vehicle, new weapons and radio
equipment. The Byrne Justice OneTime Grant would be used to buy tactical rifles, while a U.S. Department of
Agriculture grant would be used for a
vehicle. If approved, the USDA grant
might also be used to finance the two
cars that the town intends to purchase
under the upcoming budget.
DiMartino said the tactical rifles,
which would use the same ammunition as their sidearms are considered
state-of-the-art weapons. DiMartino
noted that the department does not
have rifles and there are occasions
when using a shotgun could be a liability as rounds tend to spread out over a
distance as opposed to a single round
going in one direction.
Planning Commission Supports Eastville Plan
By Ron West
The Northampton County Planning
Commission conducted a joint public
hearing with Eastville Town Council
Tuesday to review the town’s Comprehensive Plan.
The commission discussed the number of businesses and residences in the
town, whose population is 157, according to Mayor Jim Sturgis.
The Planning Commission voted to
support the Comprehensive Plan and
recommended its approval to Town
Council. The commissioners continued consideration of the county’s Comprehensive Plan by editing the historic and
geographic information.
With respect to the county’s pover-
ty rate, the commissioners noted that
they had no solid numbers on the current numbers of residents who fall below the poverty level. They agreed to
continue researching the matter.
County Long-Range Planner Peter
Stith advised the commisisoners that
the county’s Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC), appointed by
the Board of Supervisors to work independently on the Comprehensive Plan,
would be presenting its work to the supervisors at the Feb. 12 board session.
Stith advised the Planning Commission that the county had hired Charles
McSwain as the new director of economic development. McSwain’s office
is in the Planning and Zoning Department in Eastville.

United Way
Raises $300,000,
Surpasses Goal
The United Way of Virginia’s Eastern Shore Campaign Committee has
announced that its campaign, “The
Shore Needs You Now,” has raised over
$300,000 for more than 175 non-profits
that operate on Virginia’s Eastern Shore.
The goal set by the campaign committee and board was $250,000.
Campaign Chairman Jeff Holland
said, “The campaign committee would
like to thank the 36 local businesses that
participated this year with an in-house
employee campaign, and especially the
campaign coordinators and employees
who participated at these businesses,
the 174 individuals and small businesses
that made contributions, and Tidewater philanthropist Jane Batten for her
critical cash match. It all helped us raise
these funds that are so critical and integral to the many worthy nonprofits, some
of which help to feed the hungry, house
the homeless, and provide excellent outlets for our youth in both counties.”
Holland added, “The Shore should
thank the campaign committee for the
yeoman’s work that they have accomplished; give them a hearty pat on the
back when you see them in the community for they cohesively worked together
to get the ball across the $300,000 goal
line, $50,000 greater than our initial
goal. Those committee members are Flo
Bowers, Lisa Caison, Deborah Christie,
Dianne Dawson, John Fiege, Tom Gery,
Donna Kellam, Vicki Koenig, Betty Mariner, Andy Mason, Mary McKenna, Angelica Randle, Scott Shreiber, Bill Sterling,
Nancy Stern, and Norman Thibodeaux.”
John Fiege, president of the board,
said, “In addition to all the folks Jeff
thanks, we thank him for putting in an
extraordinary amount of time and planning into the job of keeping the campaign well organized and fruitful. The
results speak for themselves. Jeff always
defers credit to everyone else, which is
a wonderful leadership trait. We’re currently looking for another wonderful volunteer to chair this fall’s campaign.”
This year’s United Way “Thank You
Celebration” will be held Wednesday,
March 27, at Eastern Shore Yacht &
Country Club.

Obituaries
Belle Haven Man’s
Mother Dies
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Picardi,
92, died Monday, Jan. 21, 2013, at Our
Lady of Perpetual Help Nursing Home
in Virginia Beach, Va.
Born in Harbor
Springs, Mich., she
was the daughter
of the late Charles
and Theresa Bester
Long. She
went
to High School
in Travers City,
Mich., and earned
a Bachelor of Arts
Mrs. Picardi
Degree from Michigan State Normal College in Upsilanti.
During World War II, she worked in
a bomber factory and then was one of
the first women to join the U.S. Navy
WAVES. She worked at the Department of Naval Communications in
Washington, D.C., and was honorably
discharged with the rank of lieutenant jg in March 1946. A month earlier,
she had married Egidio Alfred Picardi
of Corona, N.Y., a civil engineer, who
designed a more efficient way to build
skyscrapers, and died in August 2010.
They lived successively in Manchester,
Mass.; Toledo, Ohio; Northbrook and
Highland Park, Ill.; Washington D.C.;
Toronto and Edmonton, Canada; Denver, Colo.; and White Stone, Va., before
moving to Holly Point Farm on Scarborough’s Neck in 1981. The Picardis were passionate about preserving
their beautiful farm to memorialize
their concept of “Paradise on Earth.”
In 2011, their final wish was granted
with the establishment of a conservation easement held by the Virginia
Eastern Shore Land Trust and Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
Mrs. Picardi was active in the
League of Women Voters in Northbrook. She was passionate about eating healthy foods and taught her children to prepare them as adults. When
she moved to Virginia, she grew organic fruits and vegetables. For a time, she
sold her produce in Washington D.C.,
markets. On the Shore, Mrs. Picardi
raised organic vegetables and fruits.
Mrs. Picardi is survived by her chil-
dren, Mary Catherine Picardi of Virginia Beach, Anthony Charles Picardi
of Belle Haven, and Alfred Phillip
Picardi of Arnold, Md. Her fourth child,
Margret Ann, died as an infant. Her
five siblings predeceased her.
The Picardi family plans a private
ceremony at Holly Point Farm.

~ CAPITAL LETTERS ~
By Del.
Lynwood Lewis
While I had
intended to write
about some of my
legislation, this
past week in the
General Assem
bly was focused
on the governor’s
transportation
plan and I want
ed to highlight that discussion.
Every year since I have been in the
General Assembly, we have attempt
ed to deal with Virginia’s worsening
transportation crisis. The last time
the commonwealth meaningfully ad
dressed transportation was in 1986.
On our current path, we will run out of
construction money in about two years.
We also will fail to qualify for federal
highway funds which constitute about
$800 million of our highway budget.
Most independent analyses show
that Virginia needs a billion dollars a
year in new revenue to meet our main
tenance needs for existing roadways
and for new construction. Virginia has
the third largest system of state-main
tained roads in the country, behind
Texas and North Carolina. We also
have the added complexity of large
bodies of water in Hampton Roads that
have to be traversed. The need for new
revenue is complicated by the fact that
the gas tax is becoming a diminishing
source of revenue because of greatly
increased mileage standards and the
rise of hybrid vehicles. Virginia’s entire
economy depends on a reliable and ef
ficient system of transportation.
Gov. Bob McDonnell proposed a
broad program that abolishes the gas
tax and raises the state sales tax from
5 percent to 5.8 percent. This plan also
increases the vehicle registration fee
by $15, imposes a fee on hybrid vehi
cles, and relies heavily on an Internet
sales tax that Congress is contemplat
ing. The likelihood of the passage of
this Internet sales tax is a subject for
some debate; however, the governor
maintains it is highly likely.
Also a controversial part is the gov
ernor’s use of General Fund money to
apply toward transportation. This is
something to which I always have been
opposed. I generally feel that transpor
tation should be funded by transpor
tation-related fees and taxes, and that
the General Fund, which we use for
schools, public safety and other core
functions of government, should not be
placed in competition with roads.
There are also other competing
transportation plans and the Senate
appears as though it may adopt the
governor’s plan.
The governor was very intent on
keeping his plan alive. It had to pass
through the House Finance Committee,
of which I am a member. The governor
met with those of us on the Finance
Committee whom he knew would have
some serious reservations about his
plan. His main selling point is that it
is time to deal with transportation in
a meaningful and significant way. I ex
pressed to him my reservations with
his plan, particularly the use of General
Fund money, although small in amount.
I am also skeptical of Congress’ passage
of any Internet sales tax and I further
would like to see some connection be
tween use of the highway system and
the amount someone pays, which I am
afraid we will lose by scrapping the gas
tax and going to the sales tax.
I am far from certain that eliminat
ing the gas tax will be reflected in a
reduction in prices at the pump. The
governor firmly believes that it will.
However, despite my reservations,
development of a final plan is a process,
and passage through the Finance Com
mittee of the governor’s plan was an
essential part of the process and hope
fully will yield a much better plan in
the end. I voted to pass the governor’s
plan through the Finance Committee. If
the plan stays in its current form it is
highly unlikely that I will vote for it as
a final plan. But certainly I thought it
important to keep the discussion going.
Please feel free to contact me on any
issue. It is always helpful to have com
ments as well as attention called to cer
tain pieces of legislation that may inter
est you. My phone number in Richmond
is 804-698-1000 and my e-mail address

So ...You’re Thinking About
Buying A New Car!
Have You Thought About Insurance?
Schedule a tune-up annually to optimize your
car’s performance. A well-tuned
engine delivers the best balance
of power and fuel economy and
produces the lowest level of emissions.
Change the oil and filter per the
owner’s manual. Periodic oil and
filter changes keep your engine
clean on the inside.
Check the pressure of your tires
— including the spare — monthly.
Your car’s tires affect its ride, handling, traction and safety.
Have the alignment checked
annually. Potholes and other road
conditions, as well as normal wear,
can take their toll on your car’s
steering and suspension. A wheel
alignment reduces tire wear, improves fuel economy and handling, and increases driving enjoyment

Sometimes First Love Finishes Last … & Best
By Linda Cicoira
eith Underhill has been smitten since he was in the fourth
grade with a gal he hadn’t seen
in about 45 years and just married last
month.
They will be spending their first real
Valentine’s Day together soon.
As a 9-year-old, he admired Gail Peterson’s “sweet smile, green eyes and
long blonde hair.” But interaction was
limited to riding the whirlybird in the
schoolyard with dozens of other kids.
“She was just the prettiest girl on
the playground,” he remembers.
Life improved in the fifth grade
when he realized she was in his class.
Gail’s desk was in the third row, second seat. Keith sat in the second row,
fourth seat, “so I could look at her and
see the board at the same time.”
Back in the 1960s, all the kids in a
class exchanged Valentines. He “fixed
up” a significant one for her. It was OK
that “she didn’t realize it was a special
card.” Keith could still continue to admire her from afar.

But when the term ended at Pinchbeck Elementary School in the west
end of Henrico County in Richmond,
so did his dreams. She and her family
moved to New Mexico.
“I would think about her occasionally,” he recalls. In his heart, she would
always be his “first girlfriend.”
Keith spent summers and holidays
on the Shore with his grandparents
and at 16 he wanted to be here all
the time, so he moved in with them
at Bridgetown near Hungars Church.
The family has been on the Shore for
centuries. “I just loved being here on
the farm,” he says.
Over the years, both Keith and Gail
married (other people) and had children. He has two daughters. She has
a son. Their marriages didn’t work out.
They both tried again and again.
A decade ago, Keith signed up on
www.classmates.com and searched
through his elementary school. It was
then that he found Gail. “I said hi and
left my phone number,” he says.
She got the message and called.
But Gail, who lived in Galveston,
Texas, feared this was someone playing a prank, so she just asked a couple of questions about the school and
hung up.
“I knew his name, but I couldn’t
place him,” she recalls. “Eventually, I
was able to get his face, saw the blue
eyes and shirt buttoned all the way
up … way back in the recesses of my
mind. I just never thought there was
someone out there thinking about me.”
“She called again and asked me
about the neighborhood and hung up,”
Keith remembers.
A month later, the telephone rang
again and so their friendship began.
He was in a relationship and so was
she. They never really thought they
would see each other again. If he needed a woman’s point of view, Gail would
be his barometer and vice versa.
“I talked to her freely,” Keith says.
About a year ago, “I realized my
partner was not going to marry me,
so we broke up,” Keith explains. Gail
“realized the same thing” about her
significant other. The two continued
to talk on the phone and communicated by email. At some point they ex-
changed photos.
In the fall, there was a big lottery
and he joked about showing up at her
doorstep if he won. He didn’t. She decided she would visit him in Richmond
at his father’s house for her birthday,
Oct. 25.
“When the time came that I could go
there, I just knew that it (the friendship) was changing,” Gail recalls.
When he picked her up at the airport, he says, “I met her and gave her a
hug and a kiss.” They went to pick up
her baggage and stopped at an airport
store. At both places they were mistaken for husband and wife.
A clerk at the magazine shop said
the married actors on a cover of the
publication didn’t look like a match.
“Now you’ll fit,” she told Keith and
Gail. It was a sign.
“This road was put out and all we
had to do was go down it,” says Keith.
He rented a cottage at Smith’s
Beach and planned to take her to
teague and Tangier and on a
Chinco
fishing expedition. He got local foods
and cooked for her. “Speckled trout was
running.”
“When she got up here, so did Hurricane Sandy,” Keith snickers. “I had
taken a generator down there and hurricane lamps. We were stuck in there
for days. It was just terrible,” he jokes
from his Northampton home.
“It was awful, we couldn’t get out,”
she says in a phone interview from
Galveston. “The winds were blowing …
the house was nice and cozy. We knew
each other. It was a honeymoon. It’s
the stuff that other people do.”
The week went quickly and on the
return trip to Richmond, they stopped
in Williamsburg. Remembers Keith,
“We had talked about how we had to
have a plan for visiting in the future
… she wanted to take me home in a
suitcase.”
They were shopping and while he
was looking around, she went to the
silver market. “She was looking at silver wedding rings. I walked up behind
her and asked, ‘What are you doing?’
She bought one for me. … Basically, I’d
been hooked on her for a long time. I
was just waiting for her to catch up.”
At that point, the ring was a prom-
ise. She went back to Texas; he stayed
in Northampton. While they talked
about getting married in the summer,
they planned to see each other again in
December when he would go to Texas
for her friend’s wedding.
It would be his first airplane trip
and his first time in Texas. “I’ve been
perfectly satisfied on the Shore until
this summer,” he says. He blames part
of that on an upcoming birthday. He’ll
be 55.
In another phone call, Keith learned
that Gail always wanted a Christmas
wedding. Her family would be in Texas
for the holiday and it would be the perfect circumstance.
And so the plans began. They agreed
they wanted to get married in an Episcopal church near her home. But there
was a problem. The minister couldn’t
marry them without weeks of instructions, though she would bless a civil
wedding.
They got married on Dec. 14, but the
real thing for them happened on Dec.
23 at the church.
“It was awesome,” said Keith. “The
whole atmosphere was so powerful. Complete strangers to me, they pulled this
together for us.” The sermon was about
weddings. A church member, who is also
a baker, made their cake. The choir came
up with special music. A member who is
a florist provided flowers.
For the past several weeks, Keith
has been packing light, giving things
to friends and family and putting a few
“keepers in storage.”
“He’s a wonderful guy,” says Gail.
“He is coming here for me. I’m not
starry-eyed or silly. I’m surreally happy. We’re 55 years old. I’m just going to
go with it. My only regret is the times
did not present themselves sooner. I
feel very lucky. I never thought I could
have it.”
On Feb. 1, Keith went to her and his
new home.
“Most people think it’s too quick,” he
says. “We’ve been talking on the phone.
I think you pay attention more. You
have to be clear with your conversation.” There are no “hand gestures or
facial expressions.”
So what’s the plan for Valentine’s
Day? He’s working on it.

Shore’s Todd Washington Gets 2nd Super Bowl Ring
T
odd Washington knew as a kid
tagging behind his father that
he wanted to be a coach.
“There are pictures of me as a child
with a whistle around my neck. I would
sit for hours and help my father break
down tape. I always wanted to coach. It’s
something you have to love to do because
it demands so much, but for me it’s what
I always dreamed of doing,” said Washington on Tuesday, just minutes following a parade in Baltimore that ended
in M&T Bank Stadium, where a large
crowd cheered their Super Bowl heroes.
The son of Tony and Earline Washington of Melfa and a 1994 graduate of
Nandua High School, Washington now
has two Super Bowl rings, one as a player with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from
the 2003 Super Bowl, and a second from
Sunday’s 34-31 Super Bowl win by the
Baltimore Ravens.
Washington is in his second season
as assistant offensive line coach for the
Ravens, and, indeed, the offensive line
played a vital role in the playoff run by
the Ravens.
Led by quarterback Joe Flacco, the
Ravens scored 124 points in four playoff
games while knocking off four marquee
franchises (Indianapolis Colts, Denver
Broncos, New England Patriots and San
Francisco 49ers) on the way to the title.
Flacco passed for 11 touchdowns with
no interceptions behind an offensive line
that underwent changes after the regular season, yet performed to a level that
it received a lion’s share of the credit for
the offensive outburst in the postseason.
Washington said Tuesday this Super
Bowl ring means more than his first one
as a player.
That may seem surprising to some,
but Washington said the time and com-
Todd Washington
mitment as a coach is so much greater
than required of a player.
“We are putting in 18-hour days and
sometimes more,” he said. “We are constantly studying film and looking for tendencies and schemes that will go into the
game plan.”
“It was great to be a player on a team
that was named world champions, but
the feeling as a coach is something I
can’t even describe. It makes all the
work worthwhile,” said the 36-year-old
Washington.
Married and now living in Baltimore, Washington and his wife have
three children, 13, 9 and 7.
“The sacrifice our families make in
the season is unbelievable,” he said. “If
you only like coaching, this business
will chew you up and spit you out. You
must love coaching to survive, and you
need the support of your family. Thankfully, I have that, but I try to make it
up in the off-season.”
Only, there is not much of an offseason. In two weeks, Washington will
be at the NFL combine in Indianapolis
evaluating talent for next year’s squad.
For now, he is content to return to
the Ravens’ coaching staff next year
and looks forward to helping the Ravens get into the playoffs for the sixth
straight season.
“We should have our coaching staff
intact and hopefully have all our key
players returning,” Washington said.
“Down the road, if we keep winning,
there may be opportunities for the
assistant coaches because everyone
wants to tap into a successful program.
But I am still learning and love being a
part of this organization.”
As a player, Washington played for
his father, Tony Washington, at Nandua. “My father obviously was a big influence on me, but I also owe a lot to
Coach (Wayne) Burton, Coach (Harold)
Holmes, Coach (Rod) Hennessey and
Coach (Gary) Reese. They all worked
with me at different times and molded
my talent. They stressed strength and
condition. Nandua is where I first developed as a player.”
Of course, it helped that Washington was 6 feet, 3 inches and eventually
reached an NFL playing weight of 324
pounds.
He earned a scholarship to Virginia
Tech, where he started at both center
and guard for four seasons, helping the
Hokies to average more than 200 yards
per game over his final two seasons.
Washington started at center as a
senior, earning first-team All-Big East
honors and had 81 knockdown blocks.
He was selected to play on the South
squad in the Senior Bowl.
Washington was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the fourth round
(104th overall) of the 1998 NFL Draft.
During the 2002 offseason, he was resigned by Tampa Bay to a four-year contract worth $6 million. Salary cap considerations with Tampa Bay brought on his
release in 2003 following the Super Bowl,
but Washington signed with the Houston
Texans and started 14 straight games.
After three years there, he was
signed by the Cleveland Browns, but
chronic knee injuries led Washington
to announce his retirement before the
2006 season.
But he had a plan. “Even as a player,
I always thought about coaching,” he
said. “I noticed how the coaches handled players and game situations. I
wasn’t just an ex-NFL player looking to
get into coaching. This was something
I had been pointing toward since I first
picked up a football.”
Washington began his coaching career as an offensive-line coach at the
University of San Diego, where his offensive line helped the team average
44 points a game. He was promoted to
offensive coordinator prior to the 2009
campaign.
According to his mother, Earline, there
are still notebooks around the Washington house in which Todd diagrammed
plays as a high-school football player.
“Todd never seemed to tire of talking
about football,” said Mrs. Washington.
“T.J. had other interests.”
T.J. would be Todd’s older brother by
two years, who also had a successful career as a Virginia Tech offensive lineman
and was a member of six NFL teams. T.J.
also has a championship ring from the
World Football League playing in Germany. Today, he is enjoying a successful
career in banking in Charlotte, N.C.
“I pick up the phone and talk to my
brother from time to time, but I really
don’t get home as much as I want,” said
Washington. “There just isn’t much free
time in this profession. You know the
other guys are working to have their
team ready to beat you on Sunday.”
Asked if he wears his first Super
Bowl ring, Washington replied, “Only
in the second half of the season. That’s
when it is all about getting back to the
big game.”

Chincoteague Wins Emotional Game
Story by Bill Sterling
It has been a trying season for the
Chincoteague boys’ basketball team,
winless against 15 defeats, but Tuesday night was “Senior Night” at the
Pony gym and the drama that unfolded was what makes sports such a vital
part of the lives of high-school athletes.
Bottom line, Chincoteague won 7256 for its first victory after having only
a 2-point halftime lead, but there’s
much more to the story.
Holly Grove was the opponent, a foe
that Chincoteague had lost to twice
— once on a last-second shot and another time in overtime. In addition,
one of the Ponies’ key players, James
Gooldrup, a junior center, was playing
following the death of his father just
two nights earlier.
“The entire team gave all they had
and really played with pride and determination the second half; they were
not to be denied,” said Pony coach Jay
Savage. “It has been a difficult season,
but the boys pulled together for this
game. We were desperate to avenge
our two earlier losses to Holly Grove.
And it was so emotional for us. The
boys really gave all they had to get
the victory for James. Unbelievably,
Photo by Joanne Scholberl
Bryant Savage scored 41 points to
lead Chincoteague to its first victory Tuesday.
James scored 8 points and grabbed 4
rebounds. Our thoughts and prayers
go with James as he leaves to attend
his father’s funeral.”
Senior Bryant Savage, the coach’s
son, had a career night with 41 points,
9 rebounds and 6 assists. Savage converted 15 of 16 free throws. Barrett
Whealton, another senior, played great
defense with three critical steals to
stretch a marginal lead in the fourth
quarter. Nick Haugh, the Ponies’ remaining senior, chipped in 4 points.
Youth also was served as Kyle Gentry, a sophomore, came off the bench
with 10 points and 6 rebounds.
Chincoteague took control of the
game with a 25-12 margin in the third
quarter after leading 28-26 at halftime.
“This was indeed a fulfilling victory
for Chincoteague High School,” said
Coach Savage. “I am hoping that this
victory will carry over to next week as
we prepare for the district tournament.”
Bryan Selby led Holly Grove with
26 points.
Jackets Stop Nandua for Chance at Top Spot
Northampton won a stirring 68-64
contest over Nandua Tuesday night,
forcing a potential playoff game with
the Warriors for the regular season
title and home-court advantage in the
district hoop tournament next week if
the Jackets defeated Arcadia last night
in a game played after Post deadlines.
Both teams would have 7-3 records
with a Northampton win last night. An
Arcadia victory would give Nandua the
title home-court advantage in the district tournament that starts Tuesday.
At press time, the potential playoff
game was scheduled for Monday at an
undetermined site.
Played in front of a packed crowd in
the Jacket gym, the two teams battled
back and forth Tuesday. Nandua held
a 3-point halftime lead at 31-28, but
Northampton stormed back early in
the third quarter and capped off a rally
with a Jab Onley dunk met by a thunderous roar from the crowd to give the
Jackets a 39-33 lead.
A pair of three pointers by Raquan
Anderson and one by Rovonte Rogers
helped give Northampton a 57-48 lead
early in the fourth quarter, but Nandua
battled back and led 61-60. A steal and
an Onley layup gave the Jackets the lead
for good at 62-61 with 1:12 remaining.
“Defensive pressure was the focal point
all night as well as forcing turnovers and
rebounding the ball,” said Jacket coach
Wayne Bell, who has seen his team make
tremendous strides since early in the
year when it suffered lopsided defeats,
including one against Nandua.
Anderson had 17 points, Onley had
15 and Zeb Carter had 12 to lead the
Jackets, who had six 3-pointers compared to two for Nandua.
The Warriors were led by Issac Taylor with 22 points and Tyreim Blake
with 10, including the pair of treys.
The district tournament opens
Tuesday with first-round games, and
the championship game at the higher
seed on Thursday. Games are slated at
Northampton and Nandua at 7 p.m.
with opponents undetermined.
The Northampton boys were pounded by Pocomoke 81-54 Friday night in
action at the Jacket gym.
Onley had 17 points, Anderson
Jackets
Remain
Unbeaten
in District
Metz
The Northampton girls remained
unbeaten in the Shore District with a
64-41 defeat of second-place Nandua
Tuesday night at the Warrior gym.

Viking Boys Win Pair of Conference Tilts; Girls Split
Story and photos by Bill Sterling
Broadwater went 0 for 10 from outside the 3-point arc on Monday against
Hampton Christian. What a difference
a night makes.
“We simply couldn’t miss tonight,”
said a beaming Coach Eddie Spencer
following Tuesday’s 83-52 win over
archrival Isle of Wight. “It was by far
our best offensive performance of the
season.”
The win put Broadwater solely into
second place behind Atlantic Shores,
which comes to the Viking gym next
Wednesday night. Isle of Wight defeated Atlantic Shores earlier this season.
Broadwater hit 9 of 13 3-point attempts, including four by Michael Riopel in the first quarter. Riopel added another in the second quarter on a perfect
5-of-5 night from beyond the arc. Brendon Burrows added a pair of 3-pointers
and scored 13 of his 18 points in the second quarter to negate any thoughts of a
comeback by Isle of Wight. Riopel had
a game-high 29 points as Broadwater
shot 58 percent from the field.
Riopel had 23 first-half points to
give Broadwater a 45-31 lead, and the
Vikings stretched it with a 23-11 margin in the third quarter before going
to the bench in the final quarter of a
blowout that was expected to be a close
game.
Matt McCaskill had 11 points and
shared team-high rebound honors
with Burrows with 7 each. Both Burrows and Riopel dished out 6 assists.
Nathan Silverston had 21 points for
the Chargers.
Vikes Break Open
Close Game for Win
Broadwater used a 15-4 third-quarter margin to break open a close game
and stop Hampton Christian 61-52
Monday night.
The Vikings trailed late in the second quarter 24-22 and then scored the
last five points to take a 27-24 lead.
They opened up a lead that stretched
to 18 points in the second half by
speeding up the pace and finding players open for easy baskets with some
sharp passing.
“We need to push the ball to take
advantage of our athleticism,” said
Michael Riopel scored 24 points on Monday and then 29 on Tuesday
with 5 of 5 from the 3-point line to lead Broadwater to a pair of wins this
week. The junior is averaging 17.1 points per game for the season.
Coach Eddie Spencer. “We are not good
at half-court offense. We got some good
looks late in the first half and then
came out running in the second half.”
Michael Riopel led the Vikes with
24 points on 10 of 14 shooting, while
Brendon Burrows added 16 and Wesley
Shrieves 11. Burrows led the team with
six rebounds while Matt McCaskill,
Jake Golibart and Riopel had five each.
Evan Dougood had 20 points for
Hampton Christian.
Girls Split Pair
Kristen Lewis, 2, of Broadwater looks to get by a taller opponent in action Tuesday against Isle of Wight. The senior is leading the team with a
13.4-point per-game average.
After a hot start by both teams,
the Broadwater girls cooled off and
dropped a 35-31 decision to Isle of
Wight Tuesday night and fell out of a
three-way tie for second place in the
conference.
The Lady Vikings scored 14 points
in the first quarter and trailed by two,
but managed only 17 points in the remainder of the game with only two
points in the second quarter.
“I was proud of our effort and defense. The girls played hard and never gave up, but our shots just are not
dropping. It’s hard to win shooting
around 25 percent,” said Viking coach
Ralph Dodd.
The win dropped Broadwater’s record to 10-6 overall and 8-4 in the conference.
Kristen Lewis had 13 points for the
Vikings, with Katie Wendell adding
10. Kathleen Kraft and Claire Rew
led the team with 14 and 11 rebounds,
respectively.
The Broadwater girls used balanced
scoring to defeat Hampton Christian
36-19 Monday night at the Viking gym.
Kathleen Kraft led the Lady Vikings
with 10 points; Katie Wendell added
8 and Kristen Lewis and Claire Rew
added 7 each. Rew also pulled down 15
rebounds and had eight steals. Kraft
and Rachel Fox had seven steals each
as the team recorded 31 steals. Lewis
had 10 offensive rebounds among her
11 rebounds.
Jenna Harris had 15 points for the
visitors, but 10 came in the final quarter, long after the outcome was decided.
Broadwater led 15-3 at half and
substituted liberally in the second half.
Jackets Take District Wrestling Title; Region Tourney Starts Today
Story and photo by Bill Sterling
Northampton won the Eastern
Shore District wrestling crown and
now looks to this weekend’s Region A
tournament to be held in the Jacket
gym starting at 6 tonight and then resuming at 10 a.m. Saturday and continuing throughout the day.
The Jackets compiled 185 points as
eight Northampton wrestlers won individual titles in the 14 weight classes
last weekend. Nandua finished second
with 131 points; Arcadia had 113 points.
Two-ime defending state champion
Casey Paglia became the all-time winningest wrestler in Region A competition with a win in the finals that leaves
him with a 157-17 mark as he bids to
become a three-time state champion.
Charlie Demarino had the fastest
pin with a 13-second decision.
Northampton coach Will Leland said
he felt good about his team going into
today’s regional competition. “If things
go as I expect, we should be one of the
favorites,” he said. “We got a couple of
guys who were injured healthy now and
everyone making their weight at the
moment, so we just have to keep working toward states.”
Northampton finished fifth in the
state last year with a strong nucleus retiring from that team. The Group A state
meet will be held in Salem Feb. 14-16.

By Angie H.
Crutchley
L
iving on love is a blessed notion,
but let’s face it, an unrealistic
one. So to avoid the pitfalls that
come with such a naive idea, I’ve been
known to partake in “get rich quick”
schemes.
My first business venture happened
when I was about 10 years old. My
friend and I decided to make a beauty
potion, packaged in her sister’s baby
food jars, and sell it to the neighbors for
$2. We used her mom’s French perfume
and some lotion and powder from my
mom. We mixed it all together with a little Jean Naté body bath splash for good
measure and set out door-to-door. We did
make $2 from my next-door neighbor
who promised to pay if we would leave
her alone. Hey, a buck is a buck.
When my grandparents opened
their second Sally & Bob’s Restaurant
in Exmore, I decided to get in on the
marketing. I took a Post-It pad and
made signs all over the place that said
“The Best Chicken In The World” and
“You’ve Seen The Rest, Now Eat The
Best.” I stuck them to the counter, the
tables, the chairs, and even the garbage can. I should have seen advertising in my future.
I now can admit that I have never
Post Office Mail
Hunters Should Not Be
Allowed to Trespass
Dear Editor:
This letter is in support of Mr. Petersen’s
letter in last week’s edition of the Post.
People who own property, regardless
of the size, should be able to protect their
property and anything on it using any force permitted by law. If Mr. Petersen’s property is POSTED, the
people trespassing on his land should be arrested
and locked up. Period.
Any dogs running deer on his land should be destroyed by Animal Control or by Mr. Petersen, if he
so chooses. How can any law have such an imbecilic
“loophole” as to allow trespassing, just because the
trespasser” is unarmed?
There are multiple insurance reasons justifying
enforcement of trespassing as well.
As Robert Frost wrote, “Good fences make good
neighbors.”
Philip Obenauer, Harborton
been a talented person when it comes
to arts and crafts. But that never
stopped me from trying. I decided one
day while I was in college that I would
become a candlemaker. I figured it
couldn’t be that hard to make a candle, so I bought some Gulf Wax, jars,
and food coloring. I even had a clever
slogan picked out: “You’ve Burned The
Rest, Now Burn The Best.” My candle
formula wasn’t successful. My wicks
would float and food coloring is just not
meant to color candles. But that didn’t
stop me. I glued little satin roses over
my mistakes. I did have two sales —
one to my aunt and one to my mom.
My aunt prepaid for the candles, and
one day I plan to give them to her. My
mom still has the crooked, rose-colored
candle with 12 little roses in the upstairs den. It sits proudly, if not a little
lop-sided, in the center of the room.
Another time, I decided to follow in
I’ve always enjoyed Ron West’s photos and articles
inthe Post and now I can add another contributor
to my favorite columns. I’m not a sports advocate
or enthusiast, but now I look forward to reading the
sports column written by Bill Sterling. I love the way
he describes his memories of duck hunting or taking
his son to a professional baseball game. He
finds the exact words to paint the picture
and evoke memories of days gone by, yet relates them to today’s sports events.
I’m glad that he has retired and is now
back at what he does best ... writing. Thank
you, Bill, for sharing your words and memories.

Great Addition to Post
Dear Editor:
I’m not much of a fan of newspapers these days
due to the negativity of articles they include. I much
prefer warm and fuzzy human-interest stories.

What Did Hillary Clinton
Accomplish at State Dept.?
Dear Editor:
I am at a loss to understand all the fawning about
the person President Barack Obama described as an
outstanding secretary of state. Just what has Hillary
Clinton done — except travel over one million miles
to a record 112 countries, at what huge expense to us
taxpayers?
She leaves her post with our allies not trusting
us, our enemies not fearing us, and those in between
not respecting us. The Middle East is aflame and far
worse than she found it; all of central Africa is becoming the new hotbed for terrorist groups; Russia
snubs her nose at us as does Iran and North Korea;
China is well on the way to owning us; the Benghazi
disaster remains an unexplained huge blotch on her
the footsteps of my aunt, who made
beautiful flower arrangements. Creativity, I’ve heard, can skip a generation. But once again, I threw caution
to the wind and entered a craft show,
having never made a single arrangement. So away I went to every yard sale
and craft store I could find. I’m also a
procrastinator, so the night before the
event, I stayed up twisting vines and
gluing flowers. I made wreaths (in the
loosest sense of the word). They were
roundish and most of them could possibly hang of their own volition.
On the day of the craft fair, I was
so proud of my little display. No one
bought a thing. That Christmas everyone received wreaths for presents.
I’ve decided that I should stick to
what I know. I’ll never be able to draw,
or sing, or do much in the way of creativity. But that’s OK ... because now
I’ve discovered extreme couponing!
record (a disaster in which not a single person resigned, was fired, or was censured); and on the day of
her departure, our Embassy in Turkey was attacked.
And Hillary Clinton is hailed as a remarkable secretary of state? It boggles my mind.
