Accomack Board
May Raise Tax Rate
To Cover EMS
By Linda Cicoira
Accomack’s real-estate tax rate could go up
by 5 cents per $100 valuation to compensate
for low property assessments and increases
for Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
Earlier this week, county officials explained that the 6.8 percent across-the-board
drop in property values would cause landowners to pay a total of about $654,000 less
in taxes. By “equalizing the rate” by 2.5 cents,
the county would take in the same revenue
and balance the draft FY 2014-15 budget of
nearly $52 million.
Ideally, real-estate bills would remain
about the same with this method. However,
it gets a little more complicated because not
all areas have had the same declines.
According to the draft, values in Atlantic District went down 9.3 percent while at
Captain’s Cove/Greenbackville, they dropped
14.5 percent. Metompkin is down 9.2 percent.
Lee District real-estate values fell 6.5 percent. Pungoteague decreased by 7.6 percent
and Chincoteague properties saw only a 1.7
percent decline in value.
Most farmland gets a lower rate for land
use. Supervisor Wanda Thornton complained
about the system. She contends that the rest
of the taxpayers pick up the $1 million burden.
The other 2.5 cents is expected be added
to hire additional EMS workers in an effort
to keep emergency response time below the
standard 20 minutes.
The proposal is $1.05 million more than
the current budget, up by about 2 percent.
With equalization and the EMS change, the
tax rate in Atlantic, Metompkin, Lee and Pungoteague districts would go from 53 cents per

Northampton Board
Promotes Business,
Sours on AFDs
By Ron West
The Northapton Board of Supervisors took
two actions Tuesday might which could be
considered “pro-business.”
The board approved a request for a special use
permit (SUP) by Robert Sellers Jr. and Teresa
Talbott to operate a small-engine repair business
on their property at 5094 Captain Howe Ln. in
the Meadows subdivision south of Eastville.
The applicants agreed to the supervisors’
requirements that they add opaque screening,
properly dispose of waste materials, and limit
operations to daytime.
The supervisors also granted Eastern Shore
Communications’ request to rent space on the
county-owned water tower adjacent to the regional jail for the purpose of deploying antennas for wireless Internet service to Eastville,
Smith Beach, Old Town Neck and parts of Savages Neck. The lease calls for the company to
pay annual rent of approximately $600.
The board discussed a request by John
Wescoat to remove his farmland from the
Glebe Agricultural-Forestal District (AFD).
Consequently, three nearby property owners
also connected to the Glebe AFD would need
to apply to be included in another AFD. Such a
request would require a $500 application fee.
Supervisors Larry Trala, Oliver Bennett and
Chairman Larry LeMond said they could not
support expansion of the AFD program as it
substantially reduces the county’s tax income.
None of the property owners involved personally farms his property; they rent it to other farmers. LeMond noted that though property owners
can apply to the board to join an AFD, they need
to be aware that the majority of supervisors
likely would not support such a request and the

A hardy crowd braved the chilly waters of the bay to raise money for a good cause.
February Freeze Raises Thousands for Habitat for Humanity
By Ron West
Most residents of the Eastern Shore
were just shaking off the chills of another winter morning Saturday as 59
brave soles dashed into the icy waters
off Cape Charles.
Air temperatures hovered just above
freezing while the water that lapped at
the sandy beach remained a toasty 36
degrees. These human Popsicles were not
trying to rush the summer swimming
season, but rather were taking a plunge
to help raise money for Habitat for Humanity’s 18th annual February Freeze.
Habitat has sponsored the event for
nearly two decades as a way to draw
attention to the needs of Shore residents who wake up shivering in inadequate housing every winter.
According Habitat Executive Director Nancy Gonzalez, in their 25 years
of operation, Habitat volunteers have
built 40 homes for those in need on the
Shore. The 41st home has just been
started in the Cheapside area.
Teams and individuals who took
part in the “dip” collected $7,781 in donations toward cost of constructing the
new home.
Special recognition was given to
Northampton County Sheriff David
Doughty for collecting $3,000; he also
charged out into the icy waters to join
the others dippers. As he shivered on
the beach following the event, he commented on how “thoughtful” it was for
several of his deputies to support him
by sitting in their warm patrol cars

while he had to walk down the street
cold and wet to his vehicle.
For the second year in a row, the
team from Broadwater Academy was
the top money-raising team, bringing
in just shy of $1,000.
Sabrina Parker, principal of Kiptopeke Elementary School, managed to
dash into the bay while maintaining
her poise in a Marilyn Monroe wig.
Despite the northeast winds, not a curl
was out of place. Parker’s team garnered another $800+ for Habitat.
Gonzalez thanked these who braved
the chilly water, as well as more than
20 volunteers who registered the dippers, collected their donations, and
prepared a warm lunch for returning
dippers.

property owners would be risking loss
of the $500 application fee.
The board received a report from the
Ad Hoc Emergency Committee appointed to explore options to provide emergency medical services to residents of
the county once Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital moves from Nassawadox
to Accomack County in 2016.
While committee member Pat Coady noted that most people want a type
of emergency room, a lack of funding is
likely to be a deal breaker. Instead, the
committee recommended that the county
look at expanding its Emergency Medical Services (EMS) by adding at least
one ambulance and increasing staff — a
combined cost of $665,000 per year.
Additionally, the committee recommended that partnerships be established with medical providers that
already serve the county, including
Eastern Shore Rural Health and Riverside Health System, as well as new
providers, such as Sentara Healthcare.
Regardless of the service provider,
it was recommended that a minimum
of a nurse practitioner or physician’s
assistant provide extended weekday
and weekend hours and include basic
laboratory and radiology services.
It also was suggested that the county
look at creating helipads in the north,
central, and southern parts of the county to facilitate medical transport.
Coady stressed that the county cannot wait for the hospital to move to
Onley before preparing for the challenges that will be faced in 2016.
The supervisors also heard from
Sherri Smith, who told them the county needs to support the concept of the
Artisans Trail as a way to draw additional visitors to the area. She noted
that such a trail would help agriculture and aquafarming in the area, as
well as crafters, giving them an additional outlet for selling their products.
Smith emphasized that she was not
asking the county for funding for the
program, but rather wanted them simply to endorse the concept. The board
voted unanimously to endorse creation
of an Artisans Trail.
In other business of the evening,
County Finance Director Leslie Lewis
reported that projected county revenue for FY 2015 would be somewhat
less than the previous year.
County resident Robert Meyers recommended that the board press the
Virginia Department of Transportation
(VDOT) to move forward with a review
and possible modifications to traffic
flow around the Cape Charles traffic signal and the adjacent Food Lion
shopping center. Noting that VDOT
had previously indicated it would not
make changes to the access roads until the county showed an improvement
in traffic enforcement, he said it is evident that such enforcement is helping
to reduce speeding and therefore it is
time to press VDOT for the changes.
During the public information session, county resident James Kellam,
who is 100 percent disabled, asked the
board to consider exempting disabled
veterans from part or all of their personal-property taxes, noting the difficulty of meeting financial obligations.
Bennett advised Kellam that the matter would be looked into.
Public information sessions on the
proposed Zoning Ordinance and its
amendments will be held Feb. 26 and
27 at Occohannock Elementary School
and Kiptopeke Elementary Schools,
respectively, from 7 to 10 p.m.
ESCC Needs Money
for New Facility
By Linda Cicoira
Eastern Shore Community College
in Melfa is planning to get a new main
school building, estimated to cost between $18 million and $20 million,
President Linda Thomas-Glover told
Accomack County supervisors Wednesday that she is asking the two Shore
counties to put up a total of $1.4 million,
with “a significant” amount of money
coming from the state. The plan calls for
Accomack to fund about $675,000 over
three years. A request was included in
the county’s draft FY 2014-15 budget.
Northampton is being asked to pay
$333,000, also in three installments.
A feasibility study recommended
the new structure be erected since it
would be “difficult” to get the existing building “up to code,” the president said. The Accomack-Northampton Planning District Commission is
working to get grants for the project.

Deer Hunters Debate Use of Dogs
By Linda Cicoira
The line made in the dirt wasn’t
even Tuesday night.
When Accomack’s new Hunter/Landowner Advisory Committee met for the
first time to attempt to mend the rift between those who hunt deer with dogs and
irate landowners who have complained
that hunters trespass and intimidate
them, it was soon discovered that all
seven committee members are hunters.
There was also a split among them
about using dogs to hunt deer. Three
committee members are “still-hunters”
or don’t use canines to get their prey.
One said he doesn’t hunt with dogs,
but could remain impartial. Two of the
still-hunters want to shorten the season for those who hunt deer with dogs,
contending the dogs run off the deer.
All the members were men.
In the end, they took no action,
made no recommendations and decided to meet again in about two months.
Supervisor Grayson Chesser, chairman of the group, is a former game warden and owns a hunt club with his wife.
He takes out groups to hunt mostly
ducks and geese. He started the session
by asking the others to be respectful.
“The spoken word is just like a bullet,”
he said. “There is no taking it back.”
Hunters need to “come to an accommodation to make less tension,” he said.
“It looks like to me a lot of the problem
… is with public opinion. If they (those
who hunt with dogs) want to continue
… they will have to win that war some
way … our area is changing and we
have to change with it. … I’m afraid if
we don’t come up with some ideas that
will work to lessen the tensions, eventually you will lose that right. You can’t
win this battle with confrontation.”
Last fall, property owners complained dog hunters trespass with guns
and intimidate them. The law allows
hunters to go onto someone else’s property to retrieve their dogs, but they may
not drive or take firearms with them.
Some landowners further complained that the dogs damage property.
Still-hunters said dogs run the deer off
and confrontations between gun carriers could lead to injury.
Only a half-dozen people who were
not officials attended Tuesday’s sessions.
Only one, who did not identify himself,
spoke at Tuesday’s session. A deer hunter who uses dogs, he argued that deer return after the dogs leave and the season
should not be shortened.
Hunters who use dogs contend it is
the only way to control the large deer
population that destroys crops.
Committee member Ned Finney,
who belongs to a hunt club, said using
GPS collars has improved relations.
“When they (the dogs) did come out
on the road, I was there,” he said. “It’s
costly but it works well.”
George Waldenmaier, a committee
member who still-hunts, said he has set
up cameras that show deer disappearing after dogs have come through his
property. “Once the dogs start, it closes
the season down,” he said. “I want it
stopped.” He suggested that only stillhunters be allowed to hunt during the
first half of the six-week season.
Committee member Greg Breuker
of Onancock also belongs to a hunt
club and hunts near Waldenmaier’s
property. “If they (the deer) are not being shot on your property, they return
because they’re safe,” he said.
David Fluhart, president of FHA
Hunt Club and a committee member, said halving the season wouldn’t
be fair since the costs to care for the
canines is the same regardless of the
length of season. He wants more information about the percentage of problems that occur with those who hunt
with dogs. He believes the problem is
minimal. “This year was fairly quiet …
don’t need any change,” said Fluhart.
“I don’t want to stop anything,” said
committee member Sonny Hall of Cattail, a still-hunter. “Things are too good
for all of us. I don’t want to stop your
tradition,” he said.
All seemed to agree that most problems are caused by hunters from other
areas. “Anything we could do to limit
Accomack to local clubs?” asked Hall.
Sgt. Steve Garvis, a warden with the
state Department of Game and Inland
Fisheries, said that would be a statewide issue. “People in other areas will
have an equal say,” he warned.
Chesser said the answer could be
a “stricter code of ethics. … So much
boils down to common sense and common courtesy. Unfortunately, you can’t
legislate those things.”

Pre-trial Motions Set Stage for Bundick Arson Trial
By Linda Cicoira
Arsonist Tonya Susan Bundick
could ask an Accomack Circuit Court
jury as early as April 10 to acquit her
of 62 counts of deliberately setting
fires to local structures.
But if it’s anything like last time,
motions will postpone the proceeding.
In January, just before closing arguments, a two-day jury trial ended
when Bundick changed her pleas to
guilty in Virginia Beach Circuit Court
to two charges, arson and conspiracy
to commit the crime. She used Alford
pleas, allowing her to maintain innocence though evidence would likely
cause convictions. Bundick, 40, who
was living in Hopeton when the crimes
occurred, could be sentenced to a maximum of 10 years and a fine of $2,500
for each offense.
The remaining charges are connected to fires set between November
of 2012 and March 2013. Bundick’s
fiancé, Charles Robert Smith III, 38,
pleaded guilty last October to deliberately setting 67 buildings ablaze. He
also blamed her for crimes. All the fires
set during that period caused about $2
million in damages. No one was injured.
Bundick has asked for a change of
venue for the upcoming trial. A hearing has not been scheduled for that
request. Judge Glen A. Tyler moved
the trial last time because he said too
many Shore residents were associated
with crime victims or first responders.
The defendant also has asked Tyler
~
to allow her to be properly groomed for
the event. She apparently contends
she was denied that right during the
last trial. Witnesses said they overheard her being turned down when she
asked for makeup and a comb.
She specifically requested the court
permit her “to appear … properly
groomed that is that she be allowed to
wash and groom her hair shortly before trial and that she be permitted to
apply and use appropriate makeup, all
in order to permit her to present herself to the jury in her best posture.”
Court records show Commonwealth’s Attorney Gary R. Agar wrote
a letter to defense lawyer Allan D. Zaleski confirming Bundick’s trial would
begin at 9:30 a.m. April 10, 2014.
Bundick contends she is innocent. At
her trial last month, she told jurors she
was unaware of what Smith was up to.
Accomack Budget ~ (Continued From Front Page)
$100 valuation to 58 cents. At Captain’s Cove/Greenbackville,
where a mosquito tax is included, the rate would go from 55
cents to 60.5 cents. On Chincoteague, the rates would increase
from 47 cents to 49 cents for equalization only.
The budget includes a 2 percent one-time bonus for county and state-supported employees. Finance Director Mike
Mason said the proposed state budget has a similar bonus.
Employee health-insurance premiums are expected to
decrease by 12.7 percent, Mason added. Around $200,000
will be needed to “fund the revamped retiree health insurance benefit” and “to expand the Virginia Retirement System health-insurance credit to include county workers.”
“Accomack Schools gets about 53 percent of all property
taxes, other local taxes and non-categorical aid,” Mason continued. The School Board is asking for $217,843 over the current year to put toward teacher salary gaps.
The contribution to the Rainy Day/Stabilization Fund is
listed as $783,305 for FY 2014-15, which will bring it to
$7.6 million, 11.5 percent of revenue. The goal is on target
for 16.7 percent by 2021.
Personal-property tax rates are proposed to remain the
same, $3.72 per $100 valuation for all districts except Chincoteague, where the rate would be $3.63.
County Administrator Steve Miner suggested the supervisors consider hiring a human resources officer. The board
cut that position more than five years ago.

Northampton Circuit Court
Two young girls were home alone
when a Birdsnest man kicked down
their door in a crime spree last July,
according to testimony offered in
Northampton Circuit Court Monday.
Thirty-one-year-old Torrean Vitonia
Washington admitted to breaking into
three houses and stealing property from
one of the residences on July 23, 2013. A
fourth charge of burglary was not prosecuted in exchange for the guilty pleas.
A 10-year-old girl could identify
Washington, Commonwealth’s Attorney Bruce Jones told Judge W. Revell Lewis III. “My impression is Mr.
Washington did not realize anyone
was there. … Once he went in and realized the house was occupied, he left.”
A 13-year-old girl was also home. Both
ran and locked themselves in a room.
Washington tried another nearby
house. He knocked on the door and
again thought no one was home. But a
woman was there. “When he saw her,
she yelled and he left,” Jones said. No
one was home at the third house, so he
stole a television.
Lewis found Washington guilty of
the charges and ordered a presentence
report. The judge noted the maximum
punishment for the crimes is 80 years
in prison and a fine of $10,000. Washington also will be evaluated for detention and diversion programs. He was
remanded to jail.
Fontain Levon Marrow, 36, of Chesapeake was sentenced to five years for
each of three counts of a third or subsequent offense of petty larceny. All but
a year and 10 months was suspended.
According to testimony, Marrow stole
between $40 and $50 from Oklahoma
Relief donations at the Corner Mart,
T-shirts from another business and liquor from the ABC store, all in Cape
Charles on Oct. 15, 2012.
Terence Devon Brisco, 38, of Nassawadox was sentenced for assault and battery of a family member to 12 months
in jail, with all but three months sus-
pended. He received the same sentence
for resisting arrest. Brisco also was sentenced for possession of cocaine with
the intent to distribute it to five years,
with all but a year suspended. The
terms were set to run consecutively, for
a total of 18 months to serve.
Joseph William Pae Jr., 51, of Exmore was given 10 years each for possession of cocaine and Vicodin with
intent to distribute. All but a year
and nine months was suspended. The
crimes happened between Dec. 18,
2012 and Jan. 23, 2013.
Shekia Monique Thomas, 20, of Sealey Road in Birdsnest was sentenced to
three years each for credit-card forgery, credit-card fraud and credit-card
theft. All but three days of the terms
was suspended. Thomas also was ordered to do 25 hours of community service. The crimes occurred between Feb.
28 and April 30, 2013.
Vincent (Trackdown) Richard Stith,
34, of Cheriton was sentenced to 10
years for each of two counts of possession with intent to distribute cocaine.
All but 12 months was suspended on
the condition that Stith complete detention and diversion center programs. The
crimes occurred Oct. 10 and 11, 2012.
Richard Oscar Holden Jr., 38, of
Temperanceville was sentenced for possession with the intent to distribute
cocaine to eight years, with all but a
year suspended. He must also complete
detention and diversion programs. The
crime occurred Nov. 16, 2012.
Nicholas Alexander Young, 35, of
Franktown was sentenced for unauthorized use of an automobile to five
years, with four suspended. He also
got 90 days for driving on a suspended
license and 12 months, with six suspended, for a third offense of petty larceny. The terms are to run consecutively. The crimes occurred Aug. 25, 2012.

Accomack District Court
An admitted drug dealer who has
bullets lodged in his body and scars on
his head where his brains were oozing
from his battered skull after a drug
deal gone wrong in 2011, was charged
recently with breaking into a house in
Gargatha and stealing a gun.
Documents filed in Accomack General District Court earlier this week
show John Gerald Sepeda Jr., 21, of
Parsons Road in Greenbush was freed
February 14, 2014 • Eastern Shore Post • 7
from Accomack Jail on $500 secured
bond after being accused of burglarizing Wanda Johnson’s home and stealing a firearm valued at $200 or more.
The crimes allegedly occurred on Feb.
4. He was arrested the next day.
Court records state Sepeda is “unemployed, awaiting disability due to
gunshot wound” while “trying to do
side jobs.” Accomack Deputy D.W. Tyndall investigated.
At a trial held in 2012, Sepeda testified that while he was selling marijuana
in April 2011, three men shot him several times, threw him in the trunk of a car
and took him to a more secluded area
where he was shot several more times
and beat in the head with a club. He
said he played dead until the men left
and for hours dragged himself 50 to 60
yards through the brush for help.
In an unrelated case, probable cause
was found Monday to certify to a Grand
Jury charges of malicious wounding, use
of a firearm and possession of a gun by a
felon against Robert James Northan Jr.,
28, of Onley in connection with an incident that allegedly occurred on Church
Street in Whitesville on Oct. 17, 2013.
Jay McGlown, 21, of Bunker Hill on
Chincoteague was convicted of trespassing, which is a misdemeanor, in
connection with a Dec. 19, 2013, incident. He was initially charged with two
counts of burglary occurring Dec. 13
and 19. One charge was reduced and
the other will not be prosecuted, court
records show. He was sentenced to six
months in jail and fined $150.
Michael Cory Fuller, 29, of Shelltown Road in Marion Station, Md., was
charged in Accomack with making a
written threat “to kill or do bodily injury to another” on Jan. 30.
The alleged victim was not identified
in court records. Bail was set at $3,500.
Fuller was arrested Feb. 5. Accomack
Deputy C.V. Hodgson investigated.
Jernell Tyrone Hargis Jr., 35, of Pettit Lane in Mappsville was charged with
making a false statement on a voter registration form on Nov. 7, 2013. McPherson investigated. Secured bond was set
at $750. Hargis was arrested Feb. 10.
Travis Jarmar Davis, 26, of Kelly Road
in New Church was charged with knowingly buying or receiving stolen property
on Jan. 1 and a second or subsequent
count of petty larceny, also a felony, in
connection with a Jan. 12 incident. Da-
vis was arrested Feb. 7. Secured bail was
set at $5,000. Investigator Pat Coulter of
ACSO is in charge of both probes.
Lytanya Ann Riley, 37, of Wander

have a problem. That’s why we work hard to make sure
you will be seen as quickly as possible.

altogether and are triaged at the bedside in a
treatment area.
• Advanced technology and electronic medical
records help caregivers schedule tests and begin
treatments sooner.

minutes, a caregiver can see you so you will know
what to expect.

through the riversideonline.com website and then
wait in the comfort of your own home.
You can’t always avoid accidents and illness. But you
can avoid long waits for emergency treatment. Count on

Notes
The Chincoteague
Chamber of Com­
merce has named
Shotwell
Chincoteague Evelyn
ex­ecutive director
following the retire­
ment of Suzanne Taylor.
Shotwell began her new posi­
tion Feb. 3 after nine months with
the new Fairfield Inn and Suites
Chincoteague Island as director of sales.
She previously served as office man­
ager and bookkeeper of the Chinco­
teague Chamber.
Ted Lewis, president of the Chin­
coteague Chamber, said “We are very
pleased Evelyn is returning to lead
the chamber’s marketing and tourism
efforts. We missed her dedicated con­
tributions when she worked for the
Marriott Corporation and we’re glad
to have her back as executive director.”
Shotwell came to Chincoteague Is­
land in 1997, and, with her husband,
Holt Shotwell, opened an antique store.
“When I received the call to come
back to the chamber as executive direc­
tor, I knew that is where I belonged,”
Shotwell said. “I love the people who
call Chincoteague home and I love tell­
ing the story of Chincoteague. I guess
I have ‘sand between my toes,’ as they
say. My husband of 36 years and I
begin each Saturday morning with
breakfast on the beach. We love our
10-minute ‘vacations’ driving through
the wildlife refuge watching for bald
eagles, ducks, herons, egrets, deer, wild
ponies, and even snowy owls.”
Shotwell believes the island busi­
nesses deserve tremendous recognition
for earning Chincoteague the reputa­
tion as one of the most hospitable vaca­
tion spots on the East Coast, according
to Trip Advisor, which gave Chinco­
teague a top 10 Traveler’s Choice award
among America’s islands for 2013.

A trio of new classes will be starting soon at ESO Arts Center at 15293 King
Street in Belle Haven. Artist Diana M. Davis is teaching “Roses in Watercolor” on
Thursday, February 20th, from 10 am - 1 pm. Students will learn to draw and paint
roses in watercolor step by step. This one-day workshop is for adult beginners to
advanced artists. A supply list is available at ESO, or supplies for the workshop may
be purchased from the instructor. An award-winning artist, Diana grew up on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. Now after more than 30 years of experience, Diana’s originals
can be found in businesses and private collections throughout the United States,
Canada and Europe.
Graphic artist Stevon Sample is teaching “Cartooning & Sketching” for 7 weeks,
beginning Thursday, Feb. 20th, from 6:30 to 7:45 pm. For ages 10 through adult,
this class consists of practical sketching and drawing exercises and will include
cartoon character creation. Both interactive and fun, it is for beginners and experienced students alike. A supply list is available at ESO. Stevon currently works in
mosaics at New Ravenna. He owns his own graphics business, Dominion Multimedia, specializing in graphic art and printed media, and participates in art shows and
draws caricatures in restaurants and at festivals.
Have the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, piqued your interest in that vast
country, with its long, fascinating history? Mark Nuckols is teaching “Russian Arts
& Culture” for 6 weeks, beginning Monday, Feb. 24th, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. A few
examples of what will be covered include how folk traditions and fairy tales became
the basis for Tchaikovsky’s and Stravinsky’s works, how Russians came to dominate
the world of ballet, and why the movies of George Lucas and David Lean show their
indebtedness to an early Soviet director. Mark has taught Russian language and
culture courses for 8 years at Ohio State, and has a doctorate in Slavic languages.

ents as her parents are incarcerated.
Chandler also has been involved in
the American Pharmacists Association
Academy of Student
Pharmacists
and
has been an active
participant in patient care projects.
Riverside Chief
Nursing Officer Terris Kennedy recommended Chandler
for the scholarship.
“I have known Kaylyn since 2004 when she was still a high
school student,” noted Kennedy. “Kaylyn
was extremely active in high-school activities and excelled in her academic studies.
It has been my pleasure to watch Kaylyn
grow into a very professional young lady
who has made significant contributions
to her community, her university and
her chosen profession while pursuing
her educational goals. This is a young
lady who is passionate about helping
others, has a keen interest in raising
cancer awareness and has an interest
in improving the future of pharmacy.
Kaylyn never ceases to amaze me with
her drive, tireless energy, commitment
and passion to contribute.”
Chandler’s interest in pharmacy
began long ago, when she worked as a
candy striper at Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital in junior high. Her interest in health care continued as she
started a Relay for Life Team called
“Rx for Hope,” and she runs for breast
cancer awareness twice a year.
When her father, Foston Chandler, was diagnosed with cancer, she
learned a lot about his medications,
and it helped that she had begun her
pharmacy education. “Dad was on a
lot of meds, and it helped that I could
ask my faculty about the side effects.
I hope that as a pharmacist one day I
can help answer questions for someone
and reassure them about their treatments,” Chandler said. Although her
father died two years ago, her experience fuels her passion to help people
understand their medicines.
For the past five years, Chandler has
worked at a pharmacy as part of her
education. She says that she loves the
patient interaction that comes with the
job. She expects to graduate in May 2015.

Care Gas Price Predictions Are In
Many drivers may pay more for
gas this spring as refineries cut
production to conduct seasonal
maintenance. The national average
price of gas could reach $3.55-$3.85
per gallon, according to the Amrican Automobile Association (AAA).
The current Virginia average
is $3.27 for regular gas, 28 cents
cheaper than last year and 4 cents
below last month.
“Winter weather, weak demand
and sufficient supplies have kept
gas prices relatively low recently,
but this trend is unlikely to last
much longer,” said Georjeane
Blumling, spokesperson for AAA
Tidewater. “Driving to the gas station could be a lot more frustrating
as prices increase this spring.”
Prices generally rise in the spring
because many refineries cut production to conduct seasonal maintenance, which can limit gasoline
supplies and cause market uncertainty. This maintenance generally
takes place between strong demand
periods for heating oil in the winter and gasoline in the summer, and
before the regulated switch­over to
summer-blend gasoline.
Last year, the national average
increased 49 cents per gallon over
41 days before peaking at $3.79 per
gallon on Feb. 27. Gas prices similarly increased 56 cents per gallon
in spring 2012 and 86 cents per gallon in 2011.
“Few other products can rise
in price so suddenly,” continued
Blumling. “Just imagine if a cup of
coffee or a hamburger changed its
price daily like gasoline.”
After a springtime peak, gas
prices generally fall as the refinery
maintenance period ends and production returns to normal, though
there could be temporary price in-
creases as stations switch to summer-blend gasoline or because of
unexpected problems.
By late June, the national average could drop to $3.30-$3.40 per
gallon, which likely would be the
lowest price until late autumn. Last
year, the state average reached a
summer low of $3.32 per gallon on
July 7. Gas prices declined 61 cents
from springtime peaks in summer
2012 and 44 cents in 2011.
In 2014, Gulf Coast refineries
will likely have increased access
to cheaper U.S. oil from the center
of the country, as well as refining
capacity at historically high levels. These two factors alone would
make the case that pump prices for
the south Atlantic region, which
includes Virginia, should be lower
this year. However, cheaper wholesale gasoline also increases the incentive to export product overseas,
which increases demand and can
put upward pressure on prices.
By October, gas prices should
start a long decline towards the
end of the year due to weakening
demand and the switchover to less
expensive winter-blend gasoline.
The national average last year
reached a low of $3.18 per gallon
on Nov. 12 and similarly averaged
$3.22 per gallon in December 2012
and $3.21 per gallon in 2011. In
Virginia, the lowest price for regular unleaded gasoline per gallon
in 2013 was $3.05 on Nov. 12.

On hand for Riverside’s donation were (from left): Larry Lemond, Northampton County Board of Supervisors; Dr. David Jones, Riverside Health System
Regional Service line chief for the Eastern Shore; Jeff Terwilliger, director, Accomack County Department of Public Safety; Dr. Susan McAndrews,
administrator, Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital; Hollye Carpenter,
Northampton County EMS director; Dr. Richard Hatch, EMS operational medical director; Beverly Misuna, director of Patient Care Services,
Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital; and Sharon Dunnagan, director of
Critical Care Services, Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital.
Riverside, Sentara Donate to Local EMS
Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
teams from Northampton and Accomack counties recently received donations from Riverside Health System
and Sentara Healthcare.
Riverside donated $12,500 to each
county and Sentara presented $8,500 to
Northampton County EMS.
“Limited grant funding has challenged us with placing fully-capable
LifePak 15 combined monitor/defibrillators in service countywide,” said Hollye B.
Carpenter, Northampton EMS director
and Emergency Management coordinator. The Riverside donation “will help us
continue our project to upgrade all units,
offering all features possible, enhancing
our tools to assess and care for our patients. This equipment is considered the
new standard in emergency care.”
“With this equipment, Northampton
squads will be better equipped to help
patients before they get to the Emergency Room door,” said Beverly Misuna, director of Patient Care Services at
Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital.
In Accomack County, Riverside’s donation will fund the lion’s share of a
Lucas Pneumatic CPR Device for the
county’s Sprint vehicle, according to Jeff
Terwilliger, director of Public Safety.
“The equipment’s benefits are that
one responder can start high-quality
CPR, that the automated device frees
up responders to provide other prehospital care such as establishing an
airway or administering medicines,
and that CPR can be provided during
transport without having a provider
stand up in the back of a moving ambulance,” said Terwilliger.
Sentara Healthcare’s donation will
help upgrade one of eight LifePak-15
portable EKG devices carried on ambulances in Northampton.
“This upgrade will help us assess
respiratory status on cardiac patients
more thoroughly, especially on long
transports,” said Carpenter.
“We appreciate the work of our prehospital partners in EMS,” said Joseph
T. Butz, senior divisional vice president for Sentara Heart®.
“We couldn’t have better partners
in serving the Shore,” said Dr. Susan
McAndrews, Riverside Shore Memorial’s
administrator. “Our local volunteer and
paid EMS personnel are a critical part of
the health care safety net for residents.
The first responders provide excellent
care in the field, the hospital provides exceptional care here. … It’s a team effort.”
“We are glad to support the community,” said Misuna. “Helping local first
responders have the latest and greatest tools is one way that we can help
patients access emergency care as fast
as possible, and we are glad to do it.”

The Love Story of Sheppy and Elsie
ime out, sports fans, this column
is a love story in celebration of
today being Valentine’s Day.
It is the story of Sheppy and Elsie,
pictured on the front page of today’s
edition, looking like a young couple
very much in love.
Sheppard “Sheppy” Doughty was
born in 1896 on Hog Island and died
in 1970 in Quinby. He left Hog Island
after the storm of 1933 and was wellknown as a barber in Quinby.
Constance Elsie Etheridge was born
on Sept. 11, 1900, and died in 1976
in Reading, Pa. Elsie’s father, Henry,
came from England in the 1870s to
America, where he worked at the
Reading Foundry making brass fittings for lighthouses. It is believed Elsie’s father first came to Hog Island to
make brass fittings for the Hog Island
lighthouse, built in 1896. He liked the
place so much he brought his family to
vacation there.
That’s when Elsie met Sheppy.
This love story comes to you thanks
to extensive research by Dr. Ted Spence,
a Chincoteague dentist who also was
a classmate of mine at Central High
School.
Searching through materials left
behind by Sheppy and purchased at
an auction by Frankie Smith, Spence
discovered the story of Elsie and Sheppy. But bringing it to life was Archie
Doughty, 87, who Spence believes is
the only living person who knew both
Sheppy and Elsie. Doughty, a resident
of Quinby, is Sheppy’s nephew.
Doughty says Sheppy kept a Model
A Ford in Willis Wharf and would take
Elsie around the mainland. Once he
brought Elsie to his brother’s home in
Quinby, where they met Archie.
Sheppy even visited Elsie several
times in Pennsylvania.
“They were madly in love,” Doughty
told Spence.
Elsie was a sophisticated city girl
and dressed the part. Notice the high
heels in the front-page photo taken
on the beaches of Hog Island. She was
rarely seen without a hat.
Sheppy, on the other hand, was a
country guy, a typical Hog Islander
who worked hard, lived off the land
and played hard, too.
According to Archie, the young couple would sometimes meet at the Red
Dance Hall at the end of Hog Island.
Sheppy, known as a prankster, liked
to play tricks on the islanders. Once
he hung a white sheet from a tree in
the graveyard and hoisted it whenever an unsuspecting person walked by.
The story goes that one islander was
so scared he ran home and ripped the
door off his house to get in.
Every summer, Elsie and Sheppy
spent time together. Although travel
was ardurous in 1915 when they first
met, Elsie made the trip to Hog Island
in less than a day.
Out of Philadelphia, she took the
Express Train, which zipped along
the rails at speeds up to 65 miles per
hour and could reach Exmore in about
three hours.
From there she would travel by
wagon to the Point Farm (now called
Virginia Landing) and take a schooner
to Hog Island.
Hog Island and Cobb Island further
south were then premier travel destinations for summer tourists, as well
as waterfowlers who came to hunt the
ducks and geese that darkened the
skies in the winter. President Grover Cleveland was among the notable
guests.
All that came to an end when the
horrific storm of 1933 destroyed many
of the homes and buildings on Hog Is-
never married.
Sheppy was buried in a family plot
in Quinby, miles away from Reading,
where Elsie is buried near her English
parents.
Once they were united in love, but
apparently they never found another
after the storm of ’33.
The tombstone of Elsie Etheridge
in Reading, Pa.
land. According to his nephew, Sheppy
was one of the last residents to leave
Hog Island around 1936, when the water was lapping at his back steps.
But the storm left even more damage
in Sheppy’s heart. Elsie never came to
the island after the storm of 1933.
Archie Doughty told Spence, “They
would have been married, if not for the
storm.”
Surely, there were other factors too.
A trained nurse, Elsie cared for her
father, who had Bell’s Palsy, after her
mother died in 1928.
Spence traveled to Pennsylvania
and spoke to Elsie’s best friend, Joyce
Hiller. Spence learned Elsie was always cooking for church gatherings
at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in
Reading. He found her tombstone,
pictured above.
He also learned Elsie never married, and, according to her best friend,
was not known to have had a boyfriend
in Reading.
As a young boy growing up in Quinby, Spence worked alongside his twin
brother, Terry, and father, George,
gathering clams, oysters, fish and,
most of all, crabs that were kept in
a crabhouse that sat adjacent to the
Quinby Bridge.
He also went to Sheppy the barber,
and although he did not know about
Elsie then and never heard Sheppy
mention her, he knew that Sheppy also

Nandua Claims Boys’
Basketball Title
Nandua claimed the Eastern Shore
District season title with a 74-64 win
over Arcadia Wednesday night at Oak
Hall. The win was the third in four
games for Nandua over Arcadia and
left the Warriors with only one district
loss and an 11-5 overall record.
“Happy to get the win, but the play
was ragged on both sides,” said Nandua coach Cedrick Cooper. “Too many
turnovers, and we let them back into
the game at the end.”
Arcadia was down by 20 at the end
of the third quarter, but closed to within 8 points with just under two minutes remaining.
Trayvon Snead led the Warriors
with 21 points, including 9 of 12 from
the foul line. Evan McGregor, just up
from the junior varsity, had a careerhigh 17 points with a pair of 3-pointers. Troy Planter scored 13, and Tyrreim Blake added 11.
For Arcadia, Teon Giddens had a
team-high 14 points, John Wright
scored 12, and Travon Copes and Atlantis White added 10 each.
Nandua will host a conference game
next Thursday.
Firebirds Top
Northampton
Arcadia jumped to a 23-12 first
quarter lead and rolled on to a 68-52
win over Northampton last Thursday
night at home.
The Firebirds placed four players in
double figures as Travon Copes led the
way with 22 points, followed by Teon
Giddens with 13 points, John Wright
with 12, and Eric Grinnage with 10
points.
For Northampton, Raquan Anderson had 18 points, with Zeb Carter
adding 11. Brian Christian had a
team-high nine rebounds with Tysean
Stratton grabbing eight.

Broadwater Extends Win Streak
to 14 by Stopping Atlantic Shores
Story by Bill Sterling
Broadwater avenged an earlier 19-point loss to Atlantic Shores with a scintillating 85-80 win Wednesday night on the road. The win was the Vikings’ 14th
straight and gave Broadwater a 17-5 record.
“We were focused early and executed when it
counted,” said Viking coach Eddie Spencer. “It’s all
on the guys. They played great. It’s nice to be peaking at the right time.”
The win left Broadwater one game out of first
place behind Williamsburg Christian, a team it beat
during this streak. The only two Metro Conference
losses for the Vikings were early season defeats to
Atlantic Shores and Williamsburg Christian.
Brendon Burrows led the Vikes with 25 points and
11 rebounds. Burrows was 7 of 8 from the floor with
a pair of 3-pointers. Michael Riopel scored 23, with
Frank Long and Wesley Shrieves adding 11 each.
On Tuesday, Broadwater ripped Alliance 85-30 as
Shrieves scored 18 points, Riopel had 16 and Matt
McCaskill added 14.
Broadwater stretched its winning streak to 12 Friday night with a 66-45 road win over Isle of Wight.
Burrows led the Vikings with 20 points, followed
closely by Riopel with 19 and Shrieves with 17.
Broadwater held a 36-21 halftime lead and then
stretched it to 54-27 after three quarters. The Vikes
were 12 of 15 from the foul line.
Adam Webb led the Chargers with 12 points.
On the season, Riopel leads the Vikings in scoring
with 19.6 points and rebounding with 6.2 per game.
Burrows is averaging 14.9 points per game and is
also second in rebounds with 5.8 per game.
Broadwater concludes its home season Monday
with Senior Night when the Vikings host Stonebridge at 7 p.m.
Metro Conference play begins next Thursday with
all games at Alliance Christian.
Viking Girls Top Alliance, Drop Pair
On Tuesday, the Broadwater girls defeated Alliance Christian 56-20 as Wendell scored 25 points.
Kraft had a double double with 13 points and 14 rebounds. Savnna Davis had 8 points on 4 of 5 shooting
from the floor.
The Broadwater girls fell to Isle of Wight 57-23 Friday night at home. The Lady Vikings trailed by only
2 after one quarter at 11-9, but Isle of Wight spurted
to an 18-6 advantage in the second quarter and then
held Broadwater to only 8 points in the second half.
Katie Wendell led the Lady Vikings with 11
points, going 9 of 10 from the foul line. Kathleen
Kraft had 8 points. Wendell leads the team with a
17.6-point-per-game average. Kraft tops the team
with 8.6 rebounds per game.
Wednesday night Broadwater was beaten by Atlantic Shores 60-32 as Katie Wendell led the Vikings with
15 points and Kathleen Kraft had seven.

Arcadia Third in Conference Wrestling
Story and photos by Bill Sterling
Giobani Hernandez (132) Sam Crippen (138) and Hunter Tatum (195) won
their championship matches to boost
Arcadia to a third-place finish in the
Conference 33/34 Wrestling Tournament Saturday at Nandua.
The Firebirds were fifth going into
the finals, but moved up with the trio
of wins in the finals. Nandua finished
fifth among seven teams from the two
conferences.
Nandua advanced four wrestlers to
the finals with Jack Schreiber (113),
Tyrek Collins (120), Thomas Reid
(145) and Jake Smith (285) all moving
through the brackets to reach the championship match. No Warrior, however,
was able to claim a conference title.
Arcadia and Nandua will compete in
the regional wrestling tournament today and tomorrow in Strausburg, with
the state meet the following weekend
in Salem.

f I could get a better handle on
what dogs and cats think, I would
have all the answers. It’s just that
simple. So try considering these questions.
Why do dogs chase cars? I know
they don’t think there is a difference
between fire hydrants and tires, but is
that really what the thrill is all about?
I doubt it. Are they trying to commit
suicide? Nah. Do they think the biscuits are in the back seat? Perhaps.
Or are they simply trying to bond with
humans? Uh, we really do think the
world revolves around us, don’t we?
Why do cats like to sleep with their
heads upside down? Does it make
them see their dreams better? How
come cats knead the dough or make
muffins or whatever one is supposed
to call that exercise that accompanies
purring? Why do some cats spend the
whole day outside (in the giant litter box called a yard) only to relieve
themselves when they get inside? Do
they think it’s funny to watch us clean
the litter box? I never see any of them
around when I do this. Apparently,
they don’t like to hear me complaining.
Why don’t more of them chase cars?
If dogs and cats were in charge of
the grocery store, would they put essentials like milk, toilet paper and bacon at the back of the building and candy and baked goods in the front? Not
the bacon. And definitely, not the milk.
Why are dogs so fond of playing tugof-war and catch? Why will cats and
Post Office Mail
Cancer Victim’s Friends
Ask for Help for Him
Dear Editor:
This letter is about our friend, Billy Maddox of
Parksley, whom we are trying to help. I’m a “come
here” who wants to be a “from here,” and 30 years
ago, my wife and I were blessed to find a small farm
on the Shore, with dreams of retiring here. But those
dreams disappeared when Carmen died of cancer
and now our good friend, Billy Maddox, has this awful disease which threatens his life and his business.
For years I’ve gone to Billy’s “one man” shop behind Parksley Post Office for auto parts, small-engine
repairs, electrical issues and even problems with my
small tractor. Like most people on the Shore, he is
an honest, hard-working and caring person who has
helped and served folks since 1979.
After his radiation treatment ends, Billy will be
operated on this month and have to leave his business in the busiest time of year. To help Billy with his
medical bills, living expenses and to keep his business going, a number of his friends are chipping in
and asking others to contribute.
If you can help, please send a check to Billy Maddox, P.O. Box 826, Parksley, VA 23421; or stop by
Randy’s Automotive in Parksley (665-4136) to give
some help.

dogs drink out of the same water bowl?
And why do they prefer toilet water to
any other water? Does the porcelain
bowl keep it colder? Why don’t we have
bowls like that for them?
Do dogs and cats really roll on
their backs so we will rub their bellies? Why do they hide their treats in
places from which they can’t or won’t
retrieve them? When they bring us a
mouse or a mole, are they waiting for
praise or trying to help us take care of
ourselves?
Should I stop repeating the high
pitch sounds my cats make? Am I getting it wrong and saying something
stupid? What does it mean when they
answer? Do they really like my singing
or do they come running because they
think I’m hurt?
How come boxes and paper shopping bags are so appealing to cats?
Why will they easily back into the cat
carrier, but fight as hard as they can to
go in forward?
Why do dogs have to make a circle
So Many Democrats at
Republican Mass Meeting
Dear Editor,
I would like to congratulate Rob Bloxom Jr. for
winning the Republican nomination Saturday, Feb.
8. I would also like to sincerely thank the voters of
the Eastern Shore and 100th District for taking time
from their busy schedules to attend the Republican
nomination
for
delegate of our
100th District.
Based on the
turnout on Saturday, I also look forward to seeing the
number of members in the Republican committees on the Eastern
Shore swell beyond measure. It seems a record number of Democrats have seen the light and fled the
Democratic party, as we had a multitude of individuals who have previously supported the Democratic
parties attend this Republican event!
While I am certain we all wish the process had
been easier and quicker, please keep in mind the process was run by volunteers who did their best to accomplish the goal of the day. I sincerely hope all the
voters who turned out will work equally as diligently
to hold whomever prevails on Feb. 25 accountable to
conservative principles and proper representation of
our Eastern Shore.

before they lie down? Yeah, I know, to
knock down the grass. But what about
when they are in their beds? What
does it mean if they go clockwise versus
counter-clock wise? And why, why, why
do they want to come right back in the
house after begging to go out?
What would dogs call themselves
if they could choose their own names?
Would Tank rather be called Big Sexy
like that wrestler Kevin Nash? Or
would he prefer Tony after his owner?
Would my cat Finnegan want a Persian name instead of an Irish one? Or
would he rather have an Italian first
name to go better with his last name?
Alessandro Cicoira. I like it!
What is the perfect valentine present for your animals? I don’t think they
care. They are not wrapped up in the
material things. That sounds good. But
how do I know that? The cats would
probably love a big heart-shaped box to
get in. And dogs sure do like to water
the flowers.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
