Circulation 13,000 January 10, 2014 Free Gray and Major Assume Reins of Accomack Board Story and photo by Linda Cicoira Supervisors John Charles “Jack” Gray of District 5 and C. Reneta Major of District 9 were selected Wednesday to serve as chairman and vice chairwoman, respectively, on the Accomack Board of Supervisors for 2014. Gray, a retired high-school principal from Modestown, served as vice chairman last year and was supported by five of his fellow members for chairman. Supervisors Robert Crockett, Grayson Chesser, Ron Wolff, Donald Hart and Major voted for Gray. Supervisors Wanda Thornton, Kay Lewis and Laura Belle Gordy abstained and did not explain why. All but Lewis, who again abstained, supported Major in her quest. Last year, when Gray was picked for the vice chairman’s position, he got the honor in a 5-4 vote, beating Gordy for the job. Lewis, Thornton and Wolff fa- Jack Gray and Reneta Major vored Gordy for the post. “Thank you my colleagues,” Gray said Wednesday. “I will do the very best that I can.” Several alternatives for solving county office space problems were debated. However, the officials didn’t get any closer to making a decision than they have in previous years. A Virginia Beach architectural firm suggested the former Accomac Primary School be renovated and an addition be built for about $3.4 million. A second option was to demolish the old school and build new structures and a sewage facility for about $5.4 million. Both plans include a 140-seat meeting room. It also was noted that in either case, the structure(s) could use a county sewage treatment plant that has been proposed. By moving departments to the former school, the county could save an estimated $87,000 a year that is spent on leases. It would also give Accomack schools administrators room to expand.

Eight votes were written in for others not listed on the Department of Election website. If Lewis is declared the official winner, a special election will have to be held to fill his unexpired term as delegate of the 100th District. More than a third of undecided voters had said bad weather would keep them home on Election Day, according to a poll (Continued on Page 2) 2 • Eastern Shore Post • January 10, 2014 ~ Elections ~ (Continued From Front Page) taken by www.weather.com Tuesday was the coldest day of the season, with temperatures in the teens. Wind-chill temperatures were in the single digits. Registrar Patricia White of Accomack said voting was steady despite the cold. She estimated turnout at 28 percent. Two voters in Accomack did not have proper identification and one accidentally destroyed his absentee ballot. Two of those provisional votes were later approved, with one vote going for each candidate, White said Wednesday. The third person has unil today to clarify his vote. In Northampton, the turnout was nearly 27 percent. No provisional votes were taken there. Each candidates won the home area of his opponent. Coleman took Accomack County with 3,382 votes (51.43 percent) to Lewis’ 3,191 votes (48.52 percent). Three write-in votes were cast there. In Norfolk City, Lewis received 52.09 percent (4,911 votes). Coleman got 47.86 percent (4,512). Five write-in ballots were received in Norfolk. Lewis was the clear winner in North ampton, with 59.07 percent (1,387 votes). Coleman got 961 votes (40.93 percent). Coleman overwhelmingly took Mathews County with 66.40 percent (1,227 votes). Lewis got 33.60 percent (621 votes) there. Coleman also took Virginia Beach City with 54.55 percent (108 votes), while Lewis got 45.45 percent (90 ballots). A breakdown of votes on the Eastern Shore shows Lewis winning in Oak Hall, Mappsville, Rue, Onancock, Onley, Bobtown, Melfa and Painter precincts in Accomack County, and Cape Charles, Cheriton, Nassawadox and Machipongo precincts in Northampton County. Lewis got 137 absentee ballots in Accomack to Coleman’s 116. In Northampton, Lewis got 62 absentee ballots and Coleman got 56. Coleman got the majority of votes in Chincoteague, Atlantic, Greenbackville, Bloxom, Parksley, Saxis, Accomac, Tangier and Wachapreague precincts in Accomack County and at the Exmore precinct in Northampton.

Gray suggested the former school be used for that purpose. The architects said there is room on the site for a new library. But the library friends did not speak up in favor of such a prospect. Hart and Thornton pointed out that the sewage lines could not be covered with parking lots or buildings. Meanwhile, the $1.3 million state-mandated renovation and expansion of the county health department also must be considered. “I would hate to see that building (Accomac Primary) not be used,” Gray said, adding that he wanted the school renovated and the division’s central office moved there. Thornton complained that the school site could have “a problem com- plying with new stormwater regulations,” while Gordy noted that library supporters know what they want and won’t be willing to compromise. “It’s really a matter of what we can afford,” said Crockett. They also voted to: •continue to hold board meetings at 5 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month in their chambers in Accomac and work sessions as necessary at 5 p.m. on the first Wednesday of the month; •spend $66,303 for a new phone system for the county administration building, including a five-year service plan, estimated to save about $1,700 a month ($20,400 a year); •pass a resolution that would allow “certain” public safety employees to be treated to better retirement benefits in order to gain an advantage in recruiting and retaining hazardous duty personnel.

Reviewing the Comprehensive Plan, a process now entering its third year, the commissioners assessed the availability of low- and moderate-cost housing and the number of county residents who continue to seek it. Commissioner Roberta Kellam noted the need for reliable numbers regarding housing, as well as those who still do not have basic amenities, such as indoor plumbing. Numbers provided at an earlier Board of Supervisor session indicate that there are between 100 and 200 such occupied structures in the county. According to a report by the Virginia Employment Commission, the 2013 median household income for Northampton County is just under $32,000. Numbers provided Tuesday indicate that there are few housing units in the county that are affordable for the averge household. Qualifications for subsidized housing designate some of those needing it as too “wealthy.” The only other option is to purchase a smaller or older structure which might not meet their needs or which might require additional resources to maintain. Also in need of housing are the older residents who require additional services based on their physical needs. The cost of an assisted living facility can easily run as much as $6,000 a month in Hampton Roads, well above the affordability level of most Eastern Shore residents. While there are a many platted lots in Northampton County that can be built upon, the cost prevents many from even considering such an option. And there are few apartment buildings. The Board of Supervisors hopes to receive the revised Comprehensive Plan from the Planning Commission by early spring. Public hearings then will be conducted, with a final vote coming by summer.

Members were warned a 24 percent increase in employer retirement contributions could be mandated by the state. It “may trump everything else that anyone wants to do,” said Superintendent Dr. Bruce Benson. The board unanimously approved capital project priorities suggested last month. Installing “motor operated dampers and controllers” on outside air ducts at Arcadia High School was ranked as the top need. Two classrooms had mold and were temporarily closed in September because of humidity problems. Renovation of science labs at Arca- the dia and Nandua high schools, upgrading the telephone system and intercom at Arcadia, expanding the kitchen at Kegotank Elementary School and insulating the floor at Tangier Combined School also topped the list. “We’re making progress,” Finance Director Beth Charnock told the board regarding teacher salaries. In nine comparable districts, Accomack rated higher on two steps of the salary scale, with Shenandoah and King George county schools lagging behind. Charnock said the extra $370,000 the division put toward salaries in the current budget is the reason for the success. “We’re not going to make great gains … when everybody gets (the) 2 percent” state requirement, she noted. Charnock suggested the board distribute funds to those who are the most off- target for the most favorable outcome. It also was noted that bus-driver pay is lacking and stipends paid for sports coaches is low. Benson said other districts have athletic directors at each school and access to trainers funded by local hospitals. The football stipend is $3,300, which Benson said is not the lowest among the divisions but basketball personnel get $1,700 when the next lowest for comparable divisions is $2,400. The panel also agreed to meet Tues- day to start its search for a new superintendent, as Benson will leave the division in a few months to accept a position in Stafford County. Two companies are expected to attend and explain their search techniques. It cost about $7,500 to hire a firm to find Benson in 2011. Board members said they read about divisions in Virginia losing about 50 percent of their superintendents in the upcoming months. They want to find a replacement as soon as possible. 4 Don’t Forget To “Like” Eastern Shore Post on Facebook Now Is the Time to Get Away to a New Home, “The Island House 2” Starting at $62,900 Until January, 2014!

James M. Wood, no age available, of Vernon Road in New Church was indicted on a count of child neglect. He is free on $5,000 unsecured bond. The incident allegedly occurred on June 28, 2011. According to the court record, Wood is accused of failing “to provide necessary care” for a child under the age of 18 for whom he was responsible. The neglect “caused or permitted serious injury to the life or health” of the child. Investigator C.A. McPherson of the Accomack County Sheriff’s Office gave information to the jury. ………………………………… Accomack Circuit Court A New Church man was sentenced last week in Accomack Circuit Court to 15 years in prison for sex offenses. Bryan Shay Lang Sr., 31, of Shay Lane was found guilty of taking indecent liberties with a 15-year-old girl on Feb. 14 and March 16 and 22, 2012. He pleaded guilty to the charges last month and was given five years for each crime, with all but time served suspended. Lang was ordered to undergo sex offender treatment with polygraph testing. ………………………………… Northampton Circuit Court A Painter man who “cold-cocked” another guy in August at a local convenience store pleaded guilty Monday in Northampton Circuit Court to unlawful wounding. Commonwealth’s Attorney Bruce Jones said Ronnie Bernard Wilson Jr., 22, of Coal Kiln Road had a grudge against the victim, Howard Thomas, who was connected to work that was ordered on a car for Wilson. When the two passed each other at the entrance to the Royal Farms store on Aug. 24, Wilson struck Thomas four times in the face, breaking his jaw and crushing his orbital socket. Jones said it was a chance meeting and not a planned assault. “They put him back together the best they could,” the prosecutor said. But his teeth are not aligned correctly so his jaw may have to be broken again to fix the problem. Jones said the hospital bills are more than $51,000 — the majority of which was picked up by the state Victim Compensation Fund. He suggested Wilson pay any “out-of-pocket” expenses, which could not yet be totaled. Wilson’s plea was part of an agreement with Jones. He was initially charged with malicious wounding, which carries a longer sentence and is associated with the use of a weapon. In the bargain, Jones recommended a sentence of five years with all but 12 months suspended. Judge W. Revell Lewis postponed sentencing until costs are available. Austin Preston Leigh, 23, of Virginia Beach was sentenced for possession with the intent to distribute cocaine to five years in prison, with all but eight months suspended. He also was sentenced for possession with the intent to sell less than a half-ounce of marijuanato 12 months, with all but a month suspended, to run consecutively. Leigh’s driver’s license was suspended for six months. Charles Alan Lewis Jr., 25, of Cape Charles was sentenced to five years for possession of oxycodone and 12 months each for possession of bupremorphine and possession of controlled paraphernalia, to run consecutively. All but time served was suspended. Lewis’ driver’s license was suspended for six months. Vashon Jarron Robinson, 38, of Cape Charles pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with the intent to distribute cocaine, on Oct. 11 and 15, 2012. The cases were continued pending completion of a presentence report. Another charge of distributing cocaine, that allegedly occurred on Oct. 15, 2012, was not prosecuted. ………………………………… Northampton District Court A Painter man was sentenced to 100 days in jail last week in Northampton General District Court for assault and battery of Treteka Clark at her Bayside Road home; all but 10 days was suspended. William Thomas Smith, also known as Bobo Smith, 38, of A.S. West Road also was given 100 days for misde- meanor trespassing. That charge was reduced from the initial charge of felony burglary; all but two days was suspended. He was fined $150. The incidents occurred on Nov. 10, 2013. In another case recorded in Northampton District Court, Cher Raven, 66, of Willis Wharf Road in Exmore was charged with assault and battery of Exmore Police Chief A.P. DiMartino. DiMartino wrote in the file that he was dispatched at about 2:45 a.m. Jan. 1 to Peter Cartwright Apartments, where he advised Raven to stop banging on a neighbor’s door and go home. She “then swung at me striking my right arm,” the chief reported. Secured bail was set at $3,000. ………………………………… Accomack District Court An Onancock man, who allegedly beat a Labrador retriever with a baseball bat last month outside Walmart in Onley, has been charged with animal cruelty, according to records filed in Accomack General District Court. Keith Dale Lilliston, 45, of Deep Creek Road is free on $1,000 unsecured bond. He was arrested on Dec. 20. Onley Police Officer George Bennett investigated the Dec. 6 incident. He called it the most “vicious attack” he has seen in 28 years of police work. Bennett said he viewed a video of the incident taken by Walmart surveillance cameras. The charge against Lilliston is a Class 1 misdemeanor. Bennett and Trooper J.D. Kirk arrived at the scene around 9:15 p.m. 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 and the other was not injured. A witness told Bennett she confronted the man, who then fled, and she ran into the store for help. Bennett said the video showed a 6’, 200-pound, gray or white bearded, 40-something white man fleeing across Lankford Highway toward Onley Road. The man in the video “raised the bat” to the witness, but apparently thought twice about using it, the officer added. The owner of the dogs, Daniel Parks of Parksley, was in the store when Ben- nett found him and told him what happened. Bennett said since then, Parks reported that both dogs are fine. In another case, Perry Joseph Howard, 36, of Juniper Lane in New Church was charged Monday with distribution of between a half-ounce and five pounds of marijuana. He was arrested Tuesday. Secured bond was set at $15,000. According to court records, “Howard was found with seven ounces of marijuana in three bags. He stated that he was holding it for someone else … expressed remorse for the crime and was forthcoming … regarding the marijuana in his possession.” Deputy S.E. Henning of the Accomack County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) investigated. Lenell Reid, 47, of Drummondtown Road in Melfa, who was initially charged with attempted grand larceny of Nationwide Insurance property on Aug. 15, 2011, was convicted of the lesser charge of petty larceny Monday. He was sentenced to 91 days in jail, with all but a day suspended. Reid was fined $150. Cape Center 26507 Lankford Hwy.

While the public often cites teens as being the most common offenders, a recent survey found that adult drivers ages 25-39 were the most likely to admit engaging in these risky behaviors behind the wheel. “It's noteworthy that the young novice drivers are using their phones while driving less than older drivers since, given their inexperience, they are especially susceptible to distracted driving crashes,” said Peter Kissinger, president and CEO of the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. “At the same time, it is discouraging that cell phone usage picks up when drivers gain more experience.” Two out of three drivers reported using a cell while driving within the past month. Forty-three percent of adults ages 25-39 reported doing so fairly often or regularly while driving, compared to only 20 percent of teens. Motorists age 60 and up were the least likely to report using a phone.

Smith Subpoenaed To Testify Against Bundick Next Week By Linda Cicoira Arsonist Charles Robert Smith III has been named a material witness for the prosecution in next week’s trial of his fiancée, Tonya Susan Bundick. He will be taken by court order from the Accomack Jail to proceedings in Virginia Beach, according to records filed recently in Accomack Circuit Court. Smith, also known as Charlie Applegate, 38, a former local volunteer fire department captain, was living with Bundick, 40, on Matthews Road in Hopeton when the fires occurred. He pleaded guilty in late October to 67 arsons and could face up to 584 years in prison and fines of more than $5.6 million. Judge Glen A. Tyler, who will preside over Bundick’s jury trial, signed the order on Dec. 31 to take Smith to Virginia Beach for the trial, which is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. Bundick will be tried for only two of the charges against her at that trial — arson and conspiracy occurring April 1, 2013, at a house that was being renovated on Airport Drive near Melfa by owner Claude Henry. It was the final blaze in a spree that began in November 2012. The couple was arrested down the street from the fire. “I knew we were busted before we did it,” Smith said in a confession videotaped by police. “Too many cars. It was a dead giveaway. I even told her that.” Both Smith and Henry were subpoenaed to appear at the trial, as were officers who previously testified they watched the crimes from nearby woods. The case was moved to Virginia Beach so a jury from that area could be selected. Tyler ruled the change was necessary as it would be hard to get a jury from the Eastern Shore since so many residents or their relatives were affected by the dozens of arsons. During Smith’s interrogation, he said Bundick set the initial fires and he continued the spree to appease and protect her. Another trial will be held for the additional 62 counts of arson that were handed down against Bundick by an Accomack Grand Jury in December.

Duer noted that most of the town’s departments are showing marked budgetary improvements. While finances are looking better, Duer noted that the town continues to face a morale issue with some of its employees. Eleven town workers left in the past year. Duer said he is focused on improvements that would encourage employees to remain on the job. One such move approved by council was the promotion of police officer Adam Zieger to the rank of sergeant. A second such move was the appointment of Utilities Director Taylor Dukes to serve as zoning administrator. Dukes will serve the town in the dual roles, saving the town the expense of hiring an additional person. Council discussed and approved an ordinance that will allow residents and businesses to install shallow wells for outdoor uses such as watering gardens and yard landscaping. Dukes and Duer both noted that the move will save the town, as well as property owners, the expense of using town water for non-essential purposes. The ordinance will allow wells up to 50 feet deep to be used for exterior purposes; they must carry the warning: “Water unsafe for drinking.” Such wells will require a permit prior to being drilled. Dukes noted that the town exceeded its permitted water withdrawal in 2013 by 9 million gallons and allowing the use of such wells could address that situation. Area resident Ken Dufty commended council on its recent appointment of Duer as town manager. Noting that Duer had brought a breath of fresh air to the town, Dufty said, “He cares about the town and the employees.” NEVER PAY FOR YOUR LOCAL NEWS January 10, 2014 • Eastern Shore Post • 9 FRIDAY Jan. 10 H10 a.m. - Duplicate Bridge - Sage Restaurant, Onley - 442-2474 H12:30 p.m. - Science & Philosophy Seminar: Where’s My Flying Car? - ESCC, Melfa H6 p.m. - Celebrate Recovery Group mtg. - Family Life Center, Onancock - Meal: $6/single or $10/family H7 p.m. - Revival - Foundation of Faith Ministries, 36190 Lankford Hwy., Belle Haven H7 p.m. - Life Teach Series - Rachel/Leah Covenant Ministries Center - 787-2486 H7:30 p.m. - Texas Hold’em Tourn. - Parksley VFC H7:30 p.m. - Bingo (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) - Exmore Moose Lodge, Belle Haven Monday H10 a.m. - TOPS mtg.

A friend called about 9 and asked how many ducks I bagged that morning. As an avid hunter, my crockpot may be a bit cracked, but I am not certifiably crazy enough to venture out in that kind of cold. I was waiting until Thursday when the weatherman was predicting it would be almost balmy, with the mercury rising to the low 30s. The truth is it gets harder and harder for me to justify my hunting. My trusty Lab, Nikki, will be 13 on Tuesday, and I had to retire her from the duck blind two years ago. I am not saying she was the besttrained dog in the blind, but she made some remarkable retrieves and had a heart for it that just would not quit. One reason I had to retire her was that her desire to reach the bird was stronger than her desire to obey my command to return. One night I thought I had lost her when she swam a half-mile near sunset to retrieve a goose. She reappeared in the fading daylight with the goose still alive in her grasp. Another reason for my diminished desire to hunt is that my favorite hunting partner, my son, is taking a year off with the duties of being a new father. Living and working in Richmond, Parke passed on buying a hunting license and the accompanying stamps with the added responsibilities of parenting a newborn. Saying all that, I was up at 4:30 a.m. last Saturday and was among a group of four hunters who bagged our limit of eight geese by 9:30. It was well worth the loss of sleep to see geese appear over the horizon and eventually glide to your decoys with the beckoning of an expert caller like my cousin, Craig Drewer. Tuesday night, a dinner of wild goose and rice, with the fireplace in the background, rekindled the memories of a good hunt. I know I am at the age many of my contemporaries have given up hunting. So why do I continue to hunt waterfowl? I’ve asked myself that question countless times. Always when the alarm wakes me out of a dead sleep at 4:30 a.m. Always when I first poke my nose out in the frosty air. Always when I feel the cold water rush over my waders or leak into my boots. Always when I can’t feel my frozen toes and fingers. Always when I realize I have lost another waterproof glove or hunting cap or seen another decoy riddled by shot sink. Always when I am pushing a boat loaded with decoys in shallow water — and the tide is still falling. Always when I am stranded on a mud flat waiting for a high tide in the darkness. Always when I think of the myriad regulations outlining what you can do and cannot do that leave my head spinning. Always when there are ducks and guns to clean and I would rather curl up in front of a fire. Always when I think of how much money I have spent on hunting and the number of ducks and geese I have bagged for that cost. Always when I complain I have no time for essential things such as shopping for food, taking out the garbage or paying the monthly bills. You must be asking yourself by now why I continue to hunt, given all those reasons. And, indeed, many of the friends I grew up hunting with no longer hunt, long ago storing their firearms and living on the memories of past trips. But there are also numerous times I never question why I hunt. Never when I realize I hit the floor seconds after the alarm goes off at 4:30 a.m. on a hunting day, but always tap the snooze alarm on any other day for an alarm that goes off hours later. Never when my senses come alive at the first cold wind that crosses my face. Never when I hear the rustling of small animals and songbirds as the first light creases through tall trees. Never when I see the sun peek over the horizon at first daylight. Never when I see the last glimmer of sun dip into the bay at day’s end. Never when I see ducks stooling over the decoys with their wings set and feet outstretched. Never when I see what appears a dark cloud in the distance transform into a flock of geese looking for a landing place. Never when I hear the soulful honking of a single goose looking for a flock. Never when I caress and admire the bright plumage of a drake mallard or a wood duck. Never when once a year my son and I pop in an old video from a hunting trip made when he was 5 years old and shot his first duck — a drake bufflehead he still has mounted. Never when I relive hunting trips with my partners as we make new experiences to talk about one day. Never when I am faced with the sudden changes in weather or tide and know my well-being depends on my guile and resourcefulness. Never when I am stranded on a mud flat after dark and behold the stars that fill the sky without being dimmed my man-made illumination. Never when I first feel the warmth of a fire after shedding wet clothes. Never when I take the first bite of fowl that was baked or grilled after marinating in spices and sherry. Never when I fall asleep that night with memories of the day’s trips, which almost always include something I have never seen before. I usually hunt until the last possible moment on the final day of the waterfowling season. But I am usually relieved it is over for another year. It is that time my life returns to normalcy. Yet I will be ready to hunt again next year because just one of those “nevers” outweigh all the “always.” Craig Drewer (left) and me after a successful goose hunt.

Our last two games we showed no energy.” Cooper named junior guard Jakorah Parker the player of the game despite scoring only 2 points. “Jakorah’s energy from the jump set the tone for the entire game. His lockdown defense disrupted their offensive scheme for the whole night,” said Coach Cooper. Trayvon Snead led Nandua with 30 points, with Issac Taylor scoring 15. William Battle added 12. Snead also had a team-high eight steals, while Tyreim Blake led the Warriors in rebounds with nine. Taylor Major led the Firebirds with 17 points, while Teon Giddens had 12.

Arcadia was led by Sarah Jones with 6 points. The Nandua girls’ JV won 45-4, with Michaela Wescott scoring 10 points.

Janaury 10, 2013 • Eastern Shore Post • 16 Broadwater Boys Win Pair, Face Norfolk Academy Sat. Story and photos by Bill Sterling Broadwater had four players in double figures Tuesday, beating Isle of Wight 75-42 at home to run its record to 7-5. Michael Riopel paced the Vikings with 19 points, Brendon Burrows had 17 and Matt McCaskill and Wesley Shrieves added 12 each. Shrieves hit five of six shots, including two of two from 3-point range. Riopel had a team-high eight rebounds, while Burrows added six rebounds and a team-high seven steals. Justice Fuller led Isle of Wight with 10 points. Broadwater showed signs of rust from the holiday layoff, but managed to defeated undermanned Denbigh Baptist 69-50 Monday night at home. The Vikings hit three of 16 from 3-point range and missed several easy shots in the first quarter, despite leading 16-11. Broadwater had a 16-3, lead but Denbigh scored the last 8 points of the quarter to cut the margin to 5. Denbigh brought only six players for the game, and when senior point guard Josh Taylor left with a shoulder injury early in the second quarter, Denbigh was left with only five players. Fortunately for the Minutemen, they had only one team foul in the first half, and only Sam Thomas, with four fouls, finished the game with more than two fouls. Thomas was the leading scorer in the game with 28 points. For the Vikes, Riopel had a teamhigh 16 points, McCaskill had 13, and Burrows added 11. Shrieves and Seamus Cooney had 8 points each. Burrows led the team with five assists. An 18-9 run in the third quarter when the Vikings started heating up gave Broadwater an insurmountable 54-34 lead after three quarters. Broadwater has home games with Alliance Christian tonight at 7 and a strong Norfolk Academy squad tomorrow at 7 p.m. Viking Girls Fall The Broadwater girls dropped a 6536 decision to Isle of Wight Wednesday night on the road.

The Broadwater girls host Alliance Christian tonight at 5:30 and Norfolk Academy tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. Brendon Burrows glides by a Denbigh defender for 2 of his 13 points. Lady Vikings Get By Denbigh Baptist Savana Davis, 4, of Broadwater blocks a shot by a Denbigh player in Monday night’s 40-27 Lady Viking win. Davis had a team-high 11 rebounds The Broadwater girls’ basketball team defeated Denbigh Baptist 40-27 Monday night at home. Jenna Hare had a team-high 14 points, with Katie Wendell adding 13. Kathleen Kraft chipped in with 6 points, and eighth grader Anna Sexauer had 5. Broadwater jumped to a 13-2 lead in the first quarter behind 6 points by Hare and 4 from Wendell, then played pretty much even with the visitors the rest of the way. “We still are not shooting like we do in practice,” said Viking coach Ralph Dodd. “We had one of our best practices shooting before this game and shot only 25 percent tonight. We can do better than that.” Dodd credited senior Savana Davis with good defense and strong rebounding. “She is the shortest starter we have and led the team with 11 rebounds,” said Dodd. Hare added seven rebounds. Kraft led a ball-hawking defense with nine steals, while Wendell had seven. Alyssa Smith led Denbigh with 7 points.

January 10, 2014 • Eastern Shore Post • 23 Posted at Sea Level By Linda Cicoira T he Eastern Shore Post’s advertising manager, Troy Justis, ended 2013 (and his 49th year on this Earth) by dropping his cell phone in the toilet. He says the electronic device slipped out of his pocket while he was washing his hands in the men’s room at the Melfa Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company. Did he dive right in after it? Well, not exactly. Being the conscientious paramedic that he is, Troy paused to put on a rubber glove before pulling the phone out of the porcelain pool. That hesitation may have been the reason it was ruined – waterlogged beyond repair. He posted the mishap on Facebook. And I automatically dialed his number while envisioning the phone bubbling sweet toilet water into his hands. It rang and rang and rang. Perhaps this happened to the old guy because he’s been fretting about his 50th birthday on Saturday. That could be why he was not paying attention to what he was doing. Or maybe he was in a romantic daze because he and his wife were celebrating their 14th anniversary on Dec. 31. Or maybe it was just one of those accidents or fates of luck that seem to happen. Way to go Troy! Oh yeah, I laughed for about five days at his expense. I stooped so low as to call him Mr. Toilet. And then … I had an equally goofy thing happen to me. Just after I got up Sunday morning, I went to the kitchen sink and turned on the hot water and the spigot came off in my hand. It just fell right off. It was like an episode of “I Love Lucy.” As I stood there dumbfounded, staring at the knob that I was holding, water sprouted out like a fountain all over the kitchen. And the flow got hotter by the second. I put my hand over the spray while trying to shut off the faucet under the sink. But my bad knee wouldn’t let me perform that maneuver. Yes, like Troy, I hesitated before plunging in. But eventually, after what was really only probably a few seconds, I had to let go. Oh, Happy New Year to me! I had water dripping from above the cabinets, inside the cabinets, in big puddles on the floor, all over the counter and all over me and my hair and the neighbor’s dog. Yeah Roxanne was visiting and came out to see what all the commotion was about. It seems someone was cursing. I now know why that section of the wall behind the cabinets is referred to as “the back splash.” The window over the sink is the cleanest it has been in a long time. No more pretending the dirt is on the outside. Yippee. There is a bright side to everything. So what to do now? Find a picture of Troy to put with this column and write in large print “Ain’t it Nifty, Troy is Fifty.” Oh yeah. Happy Birthday Troy! Happy Anniversary Troy and J.J.! Enjoy! Riverside Shore Nurses Assist Unresponsive Child Off-Site Special from Riverside Shore Memorial When Andrew Snead’s daughter suffered a seizure on Oct. 18, 2013, the timing might have saved her life. The seizure left Snead’s daughter limp and lifeless. Her lips were blue, and she wasn’t breathing. Snead called 9-1-1 and gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but he couldn’t sit by and wait for the ambulance, so he raced his daughter to the Melfa Volunteer Fire Station, where it just so happened that 10 Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital (RSMH) registered nurses were taking a Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) re-certification class. The continuing education class is required for Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Emergency Department (ED) nurses every two years, and on this day it would re-inforce skills that would save 10-month-old Janiecia Snead. The PALS class had just returned from lunch after a morning of instruction when Snead’s truck sped up to the firehouse blaring its horn. The class ran out to the truck and soon realized that both of the fire station’s ambulances were out responding to calls. No one was there to help but the PALS class. Snead yelled that his little girl wasn’t breathing, and he handed Janiecia to the class instructor, Norman Pool, of Northstar First Response, Inc. “I had never seen my daughter like that. She wasn’t breathing,” said Snead, who lives in Melfa. “I thought the good Lord was going to take my baby that day. She was turning blue. I didn’t know what in the world to do.” Pool repositioned the girl to open up her airway, and she began breathing again. She was very hot to the touch, so the nurses undressed her to her diaper and placed cool cloths on her. Meanwhile, Susan Henry, a nursing supervisor for RSMH, called the 9-1-1 dispatcher to ask that the ambulance that was on its way to Snead’s home be sent back to the fire station. The ambulance arrived and transported Janiecia to the hospital’s emergency department, where she was treated and released. “So many factors lined up for success — we were able to reposition the child and re-establish her breathing; we just happened to be having a class at that firehouse on that day; we were back from lunch just in time,” said Annette Hempel, nurse manager for the RSMH ICU and one of the class members that day. The situation was dire, she said. “It could have turned out differently.” The nurses who attended the class and assisted in Janiecia’s care were Hempel, Heather Arndt, Jennifer Boston, Crystal Harris, Jenna Henderson, Susan Henry, Cynthia Melson, Debbie Robbins, Aarika Turner and Cheryl Warren. “Even when our team members are ‘off duty’, they are valuable resources available to support this community,” said Dr. Susan McAndrews, administrator at RSMH. “I am so proud of their quick thinking and their excellent skills.” Because of the care Janiecia received that day, Snead was able to celebrate with his daughter on her first birthday on Jan. 1. “God knows, I am so grateful for those nurses being there that day,” Snead said. “I would like to see each and every one of them so I could thank them myself. I appreciate all they did for me. They handled themselves very professionally. All I had to do was bring the child in, and they took over. God bless them all.” “They’re at the Post …” Editor: Cheryl Nowak Advertising Manager: Troy Justis Sports Editor: Bill Sterling Staff Writer: Linda Cicoira Display/Classified Advertising Rep.: Angie H.
