Case Dismissed
By Linda Cicoira
A $911 billion lawsuit filed against Accomack
County and several of its top-ranking officials
was dismissed in U.S. District Court Monday.
Henrick Townsend, serving as his own attorney, alleged that prejudicial treatment occurred
from June to September 2008 and involved a
house on Saxis Road in Temperanceville he was
“leasing to own.” He claimed he was also treated unfairly in regards to property in Horntown
and was subjected to police brutality.
The self-described physically and mentally
disabled black man said racial slurs were made
to him and officials deliberately put stumbling
blocks up to keep him from gaining building
permits.
The officials, including Building and Zoning
Official David Fluhart and Sheriff Todd Godwin, denied the allegations.
Judge Mark S. Davis had a list of reasons for
dismissing the complaint. He wrote, statute of
limitations had expired, the Fair Housing Act
does not waive the state’s immunity under the
Eleventh Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
and sections of law cited by Townsend had no
relation to the allegations. The latter included
a statute that criminalized the recruitment of
child soldiers and a code section that deals with
interstate transport for sex acts.
Other alleged claims “were not recognized
causes of action under Virginia or federal law,”
or were alleged claims that would not support
liability, wrote Davis.Townsend’s lawsuit asked
that a jury award him $900 million in compensatory damages, $11 million in punitive damages, costs, attorney fees and interest. He later
told a reporter money was not the issue and that
he wanted justice. He has 30 days to appeal the
decision.
“We are very pleased with this dismissal
and the vindication it represents for Accomack
County and the officials and staff named in the
complaint,” County Attorney Mark Taylor said
Wednesday.

Police Say Jordan’s Death Caused By Street Gang
Three Brothers Are Accused of Violent Crimes
By Linda Cicoira
Three Tasley brothers are being held without bond in Eastern
Shore Regional Jail on charges
connected to the recent killing
of a Cheriton area resident, according to Northampton Sheriff
David L. Doughty Jr.
The suspects are Devon
Thomas Blake, 30, of Giddens
Lane, Durell Marion Fitchett,
25, of Daugherty Road and Deleon Kinte Fitchett, 29, of Blakenship Lane.
“Durell and Deleon are
brothers,” said Doughty. “Devon
Blake is a half brother to both.
(The suspects are) no relation to
the victim.”
The sheriff said Blake is
charged with second-degree
murder. Court records state he
has a tattoo of the “Grim Reaper” on his left shoulder.
All three are accused of mali-
cious wounding by a mob. They
are also charged with being gang
members and participating in a
criminal act “committed for the
benefit of, at the direction of, or
in association with a criminal
street gang.”
Northampton and Accomack
County Sheriffs’ Offices (NCSO
and ACSO), state police, the FBI
and the DEA joined forces to
make the arrests at about 4 a.m.
April 26, Doughty said.
The victim, Jessie Leon Jordan, 23, of Cape Charles, who
had two young daughters and a
child on the way, died at Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital
on April 13 after being shot outside A&E Auto & Truck Repairs
at 8131 Sylvan Scene Drive in
Trehernville.
Investigator Terry Thomas of
NCSO got a search warrant for
the business property that night
Jessie Leon Jordan
in a quest for any and all weapons, ammunition, shell casings,
bullets and or bullet fragments
and body fluids in relation to the
murder. Seized were clothing,
cartridges, a cartridge casing, a
bullet fragment, jewelry, beverage cans and bottles, swabs of
unknown fluids, cigarette butts, a
lighter and a receipt.
Court records also state that
Blake has always lived on the
Shore, has worked at Perdue
Foods for the last five years and
went to the 11th grade. He has
no previous convictions or pending charges. He was arrested by
Thomas. Trooper C.E. Anderson made the street gang complaints.
According to a checklist for
bond, “This person reportedly
beat a virtually defenseless drunk
with two or more others. It is
further alleged that he shot and
killed him.”
The records state there is
“strong evidence” against Durell
Fitchett for the charges. He has
also lived in the area all his life.
For the last two years, he worked
as a laborer for Tony Logan. He

Who Poisoned Our National Emblem?
$7,500 REWARD
COULD BE YOURS
Story and photo by Linda Cicoira
A $7,500 reward is being offered for information regarding the recent poisoning of
six American bald eagles in Birdsnest, according to www.humansociety.org
“Eagles are our national symbol and we
must bring the person or persons responsible for this appalling crime to justice,” said
Laura Donahue, Virginia State Director
for the Human Society of the United States
(HSUS).
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (F&W)
first put up a $2,500 reward. HSUS and the
Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust then
jointly offered up to $5,000 for information
leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of those responsible.
The half-dozen eagles were found poisoned between March 8 and 14 near Seaside
Road. Five of the eagles had already died. An
immature eagle survived after being reha-
bilitated by the Wildlife Center of Virginia
in Waynesboro, where it was taken.
Lead toxicity was found and likely occurred from metal fragments that were digested. A lead test on the live bird came back
elevated but not yet critical. Multiple metal
fragments were also seen on film taken of
the eagle. A Metamucil slurry tube-feeding
treatment was used to speed digestion and
avoid leaching into the eagle’s bloodstream.
The survivor was released into the wild
at Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia Beach last week.
Anyone with information about the
poisoning is asked to contact F&W Special
Agent Chris Mina at (804)-771-2883.
The bald eagle was chosen as the U.S.
symbol in 1782 because of its long life, great
strength and majestic looks. At that time,
it was also believed to exist only in North
America.

Story and Photo By Linda Cicoira
Eastern Shore folks are mostly
morning people who like the quiet
shock of sunrise.
Fifty-six percent of Accomack and
Northampton residents who participated in an email survey conducted recently by the Eastern Shore Post, also
favor tax-funded beach replenishment,
a big issue for the region and particularly Assateague Island and the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge.
They want the coast protected to
boost the economy and guard the
mainland. Less than 35 percent opposed tax dollars being spent for the
endless task and 11 percent wanted
stipulations on such a deal.
Fifty-two percent of participants
wrote in support of saving revenue
by replacing the $1 bill with a coin. It
was estimated that $5.5 billion could
be gained in 30 years by making the
switch.
About 56 percent prefer early hours
to any other time while the rest chose
evening. Nearly 80 percent said they
drink water that comes from the bathroom spigot. The survey-takers gave
endless responses for missing their
youth, little white lies and the first
thing they bought with their own money.
Evan Clements of Onancock said
has a daily ritual involving his favorite time of day. “Early in the morning
as the sun rises, my wife and I sit out
on the porch with a cup of coffee,” he
said. Clements misses the summers of
his younger days and “feeling free to
play after chores were done.”
He drinks water from the bathroom
tap. “It’s the same as the faucet in the
kitchen,” Clements said. “I’ve told a
few” little white lies … probably it had
something to do with not being able to
visit an annoying relative.”
He wasn’t too sure about reviving
dollar pieces. “Unless we could get
folks to think about using the (too
heavy) coins again, the effort would
never sustain,” Clements said. “The
coins would only be collectibles.”
“If I was a beach property owner, I
might feel different but natural beaches, unlike man-made, are just that –
natural,” he continued. “They are subject to the tides, wind, storms, etc. If
they wash away, it is meant to be.”
The first thing Clements bought
with his own money earned via a paper route, “was a left-handed baseball
mitt. None of my friends at the time
were left handed,” he added.
Brenda Ennis of Belle Haven misses
being a kid and “running so fast that
your heels hit your bottom.” She says
it’s okay to drink bathroom water since
“the same plumbing runs throughout
the house!” Ennis wouldn’t really admit to telling a white lie. “Lies of omission - it’s often not saying anything at
all that can be slightly deceitful,” she
v
confessed.
Ennis was opposed to the coin comeback. “The money would be so heavy in
your change purse.” She favors spending taxes for beach work. “Too much

Accomack Courts
Adam John Sterling, 29, of Drummondtown Road in Locustville pleaded
guilty Monday in Accomack Circuit
Court to two Class 1 misdemeanor offenses – sexual battery and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, both
in connection with incidents involving
a 15-year-old girl last August.
Sterling was sentenced to a total
of 24 months in jail. He was initially
charged with rape, abduction and two
counts of sodomy. The lesser charges
were part of a plea bargain with Prosecutor Matthew Brenner. The agreement was made after a court of appeals
decided one of the statues used was
unconstitutional. Two of the original
accusations were not prosecuted. Sterling’s lawyer was Thomas Northam of
Accomac. Judge Leslie L. Lilly accepted the agreement.
Jonathan Paul Belote, 19, of Christopher Lane in Painter pleaded no contest in last week to two counts of robbery and a count of using a firearm in
a felony.
He was convicted by Judge W. R.
Lewis III. The incidents occurred at
Stop and Shop Convenience Store on
Lankford Highway in Painter on Nov.
20, 2012 and involved cash, tobacco
and lottery tickets. A presentence report was ordered and Belote was remanded to jail to await sentencing.
Jamar Antwyn Smith, 32, of Grayson Avenue in Exmore pleaded guilty
to selling cocaine on Nov. 9, 2011. In
exchange for the plea, a second drug
offense was not prosecuted. Lewis ordered a presentence report and continued the case until August.
Vashon Adair Pettit, 36, of Norfolk
was given a five-year suspended sentence in circuit court for possession
with intent to distribute marijuana in
July 2010. He was also put on 10 years
of unsupervised probation. His driver’s
license was revoked for six months.

theft Monday in Accomack General District Court. The incident occurred at Jan.
16, 2013 at Dollar General on Chincoteague. He was given a 60-day suspended
sentence and fined $200.
Termaine Rayell Reid, 26, of Jackson
Street in Parksley was convicted of misdemeanor property damage, a reduction
from the initial count of grand larceny
of a vehicle. He was sentenced to 12
months in jail with all but two months
suspended. The incident occurred on

Northampton Courts
Margarita Mendez of Belle Haven
was accused last week of grand lar-
ceny and stealing a credit card, according to records filed in Northampton
District Court. The offenses allegedly
occurred on April 21, 2013. She was
arrested two days later. Chief Angelo
DiMartino of the Exmore Police Department is handling the cases.
A North Carolina man was convicted Monday in Northampton Circuit
Court of possession of a firearm by a
felon, according to Commonwealth’s
Attorney Bruce Jones.
Robert L. Holley, 28, of Plymouth
pleaded not guilty to the charge. The
case was continued pending completion of a presentence report.
Accomack Jailhouse Knock
Probable cause was found Monday at
a preliminary hearing in Accomack General District Court in the case of an alleged
bank robber accused of knocking out the
canine tooth of a fellow inmate at the
county jail.
Judge Gordon Vincent made the ruling, which sends the felony charge of malicious wounding against Gregory Donzell Bailey Jr., 33, to a Grand Jury. Bailey
is set to go to trial in July for two counts
of robbery and two counts of using a gun
in connection with an incident at SunTrust
Bank on Market Street in Onancock last
August.
The victim in the alleged Valentine’s
Day wounding was 30-year-old Bryan
Shay Lang Sr., who was confined to Cell
Block A with Bailey.
“I had my tooth knocked out and my
inner mouth split open,” Lang testified
identifying Bailey as the assailant. “Mr.
Bailey and a couple of others were playing cards on a makeshift table” while
Lang was watching TV through the metal
bars. Lang said he heard Bailey “mumble”
something to two other men. He learned
from them that Bailey threatened to
punch Lang if he didn’t stop looking over
Bailey’s shoulder.
Lang said Bailey was always accusing
other inmates of peeking at his cards. He
wanted to make it clear he wasn’t doing
that. “I was trying to get out of his face,”
Lang said, explaining the reason he asked
how far away he should be. Lang admitted the conversation turned into an argument and that he put his shoes on, which
is a common occurrence in jail when a
fight is about to break out.
“I was walking backwards 10 to 15
steps (and) was against the wall” as Bailey
walked towards him, Lang said. “That’s
when … Bailey hit me with his fist,” he
added.
The jail paramedic testified that Lang
was taken to the hospital. His tooth was
stitched back into his mouth and he has
since had a root canal in an attempt to
save the incisor.
Defense lawyer Garrett Dunham argued the charge should be misdemeanor
assault because malicious wounding requires a beating in which one is struck
multiple times or a weapon is used.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Gary Agar
argued Lang was being submissive when
he asked where he should stand. He said
when a deep root tooth is “completely
knocked out from a single blow” the requirement for the charge is satisfied.
Vincent said a single act in the “heat
of passion” could be malicious wounding.
Bailey lived in Schooner Bay when
he was arrested for robbery. Police have
not disclosed how much money was allegedly taken or if it was recovered. The
file stated there is “strong evidence and
(a) confession.” Those papers also said
Bailey has prior convictions of theft and
possession of marijuana and cocaine. He
was denied bail in both district and circuit
courts.
Lang was living on Shay Lane in
New Church when he was arrested. He
is awaiting sentencing for three counts
of taking indecent liberties and a count
of having carnal knowledge involving a
15-year-old girl.

Pre-K Grant
The Eastern Shore Community Services
Board (ESCSB) in partnership with Project
Head Start and Accomack and Northampton
Schools was awarded a $179,260 grant by
the Virginia Foundation For Healthy Youth.
The funds will be used for substance abuse
prevention services for 28 classrooms with
about 500 preschoolers in the two public
school divisions.
ESCSB will coordinate the resiliencybased early childhood curriculum known
as Al’s Pals: Kids Making Healthy Choices.
The agency’s trained prevention professionals will teach lessons. Pre-K teachers, also
trained in the program, will reinforce the
curriculum throughout the year. The program was designed to develop personal,
social and emotional skills in children ages
three to eight years old through 46 brief interactive lessons. The children learn to express feelings appropriately, care about others, use self-control, think independently,
accept differences, make safe and healthy
choices and solve problems peacefully.

Urgent Care Was the Fare
By Ron West
Retaining a 24-hour Emergency
Room (ER) in Northampton would be
costly and complicated, Joe Zager, Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital’s Vice
President of Strategic Development,
told county and town officials Tuesday
night.
The urgent-care facility now being
planned for Nassawadox would not be
open around the clock. In addition, an
ER needs to have specialists available
to assist with certain medical emergencies, Zager said, reporting that a
poll of local doctors indicated they are
not interested in responding to two facilities.
The Riverside representative said
the hospital has been in the business
of caring for Eastern Shore patients for
85 years and would continue to do so
after it moves. Zager suggested local
officials meet with hospital leaders to
discuss the possibilities. Northampton
supervisors and town leaders agreed to
set up such a session.
Northampton County Emergency
Medical Services (EMS) Director Hollye Carpenter has said EMS units
would not be allowed to transport
emergency patients to an urgent care
facility. The State Health Department
mandates that those patients be transported to the closest appropriate medical facility. Emergency calls south of
Eastville would likely be transported
to a hospital in Hampton Roads. Carpenter said taking patients across the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel and
into metropolitan area includes issues
like closures and heavy traffic.
Martina Coker represented a committee that formed when the hospital
move was first announced. She quoted
nationwide statistics including that 42
percent of the population will visit an
ER in a year. Local figures show about
13 percent of the 5,302 ER visits to
Riverside originated in Northampton.
Coker said the potential loss of the
hospital and ER were cited as reasons
that some avoid purchasing houses
in the county. “Having a 24-Hour ER
could help create jobs … as well as encourage people to move or stay in the
county,” she said. “It could also help
convince businesses to establish here.”
Cape Charles Mayor Dora Sullivan
said the committee has worked on a
“Plan B” for more than two years. A 24hour facility is needed, she contended.
Northampton needs many things
to survive including businesses, more
people and the desired ER, said Cheriton Councilman Wesley Travis. “We
need these things to make it better for
everyone.”
Eastville Mayor Jim Sturgis voiced
concern about being too far away from
medical care. The estimated time for
an ambulance to get a resident from
Eastville to Onley would be an hour or
more.
Supervisor Rick Hubbard said he
was unaware of any real dialogue
between Riverside and the county
about what services would be left in
Nassawadox. Supervisor Larry Trala
remained optimistic that Riverside
would keep some type of facility there.
Spring Clean-Up and E-Cycling in AccomaCK
“Spring Clean and E-cycling” will be
held Saturday in Accomack County. Tipping fees for residential waste and recyclables will be waived that day. This offer
does not apply to businesses or commercial for-hire waste haulers.
Acceptable items also include yard
waste, construction and demolition debris, off-the-rim car and small-truck tires
(limit 12 per person per day), used motor
oil, scrap metal and car batteries. Paint,
pesticides, asbestos and other hazardous
materials will not be accepted.
An electronic recycling event will be
offered from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Fisher’s
Corner Convenience Center in Parksley.
Anything with a cord (except TV and
computer monitors) will be accepted.
For more information call Accomack
County Public Works office at (757) 7871468 or (757) 824-0020.
Sheriff Todd Godwin said cameras
are available to catch those who litter or
dump illegally. To report a dump site, call
his office at 787-1131

Notes
By Ron West
Cheriton’s Town
Council
recently
Cheriton
moved closer to
spreading its borders.
The panel unanimously requested that Northampton County allow the town to add small areas
to the north and south of Cheriton.
Property owners told officials they want
to be in town.
The council also passed a resolution
for Safe Boating Week. Mayor Joe Habel,
who retired from the Coast Guard, said
nationally about 700 boaters die a year,
most due to carelessness.
“As many as 80 percent of those fatalities could have been prevented if they
had just worn a lifejacket,” Habel said.

Wisneski discussed ordinance compliance. He is working to end illegal dumping that occurred in one area. Council

Historic
Locustville Academy
is sponsoring its annual Open House
& Yard Sale on 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. Saturday.
Tables are available may be reserved by
calling Barbara Reiger at 787-7480.
The sale will include baked goods and
pints of chicken salad. The plant sale includes items donated by Ivy Farms, Hortco Gardens, Giving Tree, Parksley Feed
and Thomas Gardens.
The Academy will revive the historic
practice of silhouettes, which was favored
by artists long before photography became so widely popular and inexpensive.
Begun in the mid-18th century, silhouettes are now an unusual preservation of
the image of a child and a great choice for
Mother’s Day gift giving. Michelle Wagner, head of the Art Department at Nandua High School, will make silhouettes at
the event for the bargain price of $5 each.
Locustville Academy is the only preserved schoolhouse on Virginia’s Eastern
Shore. It operated from 1859 to 1879 as
a private school and continued as a public school for many years. This charming
building is largely unchanged since it was
first erected. Its original weatherboarding
is in place and the cupola for the school
bell still stands.
The upstairs museum has been preserved as a classroom with student desks,
a platform for the teacher’s desk, lunch
pails, slates and report cards. The inside
chimney has outlets for two stoves and
the original floor still sports locally made
square nails. Through the years other local historical memorabilia has been added
to the collection including items from the
old Locustville Post Office, hand-woven
rush baskets and cornhusk brooms and
brushes.
Tomatoes, Peas, Peppers, Snap Beans, Squash, Broccoli & Collard Greens
A community garden is being established by the Eastern Shore Resource
Conservation and Development Council
(RC&D), the Eastern Shore Foodbank and
Dr. Josh Freeman, Vegetable Crop Specialist at the Eastern Shore Agricultural
Research and Extension Center.
The idea is to increase the consumption of fresh vegetables by those who use
the Foodbank and to teach families and
children economic values to the project.
“We want to reach out to elementary
school children to show them the con-

nection between growing their own vegetables and having a healthy lifestyle,”
said Charmin Horton, the Food Bank’s
branch manager.
The garden of tomatoes, peppers,
squash, peas, snap beans, broccoli and
collard greens is adjacent to the Foodbank in Tasley. In addition to raised beds,
a new hoop house, provided as part of a
Bank of America grant, was installed on
the site to extend the growing season.
The garden is estimated to produce
thousands of pounds of produce in this
growing season alone. The project is
also supported in part by the USDA and
Virginia Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services

grant program. The
Foodbank was able
to hire a part-time
employee to assist
with the daily operations of the garden and harvest but
volunteers are wel-
come.

Health Matters Attention: HAY FEVER Sufferers
Hay Fever is sometimes dismissed as a
minor nuisance. But a Harvard Medical
School publication calls it Allergic Rhinitis and a legitimate medical problem that
affects about one of every five Americans.
Fortunately, Hay Fever responds very
well to treatment. But in the meantime, it
can blunt the sense of smell and interfere
with the other important functions of the
nose.
When nasal passages are functioning
normally, about five to eight quarts of air
pass through them each minute. The nose
has the job of conditioning that air before
it reaches the sensitive lung tissue.
The nose adds moisture, but to do that,
it must produce large amounts of mucus. It
also warms the air, with help from a large
network of blood vessels. Finally, the nose
traps small particles, keeping them out of
the lungs.
When the allergy sufferer’s nose traps
pollen or other particles, an inflammatory
process starts. The immune system sets off
chemicals such as histamine and leukotrienes. Blood vessels swell causing nasal congestion and mucus production soars creating a runny nose.
Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis comes and
goes as various plants come into bloom. If
symptoms occur in the spring, one is probably allergic to tree pollen; in the summer,
grass and weed pollens are the likely culprits; in the late summer and fall, ragweed
is the most likely cause. If symptoms occur
year-round (Perennial Allergic Rhinitis),
one is probably allergic to indoor allergens
such as dust mites, mold or animal dander.
Nearly everyone with Allergic Rhinitis
complains of a stuffy, runny nose. Sneezing
is nearly as common, and a postnasal drip
can trigger coughing. Typical symptoms
extend beyond the nose to include an itchy
or sore throat and itchy, burning, watery
eyes that may look red due to allergic conjunctivitis.
Most people with allergic rhinitis can
diagnose the problem themselves simply
by recognizing typical symptoms. In complicated cases, an ear, nose, and throat specialist can check for polyps and other nasal
abnormalities.
Treatment strategies include avoiding triggers, using medications to reduce
symptoms, and getting allergy shots.
Limiting outdoor activities when pollen counts are high is a first start. Ragweed
counts usually peak in early midday, grass
pollen in late afternoon and early evening.
If yard work is necessary during pollen season, one should wear an N95 mask.
Showering, shampooing and changing
clothes afterwards is another aid.
Keep home windows and doors closed
as much as possible during pollen season
and use air conditioners instead of fans,
which bring in outside air. Drive with windows and vents closed too.
Year-round sufferers should keep pets
clean, off the furniture and out of the bedroom.
Put pillows, box springs, and mattresses
in sealed plastic covers (allergen encasements) to keep out dust mites. Wash bedding in hot water that is above 120 degrees
Fahrenheit to kill dust mites.
Remove carpets from bedrooms. Use a
dehumidifier to keep humidity below 40
percent.

Economic Development Authority Has a New Approach
By Linda Cicoira
Accomack’s Economic Development Authority (EDA) is taking a new and long overdue
approach to gaining commerce for the county.
And that will mean the spending of tax dollars
to market the area and fresh tactics to gain tenants at the Accomack Industrial Park (AIP) in
Melfa.
The EDA had a rude awakening several
months ago when it learned the AIP was not
as usable as it appeared. Nearly 130 of the approximately 200 acres are wetlands that can’t
legally be built upon. A few parcels have expensive drainage issues.
Initially, the Industrial Development Authority had the task of getting tenants for the business area that is adjacent to the Eastern Shore
Community College. Chairman John LeCato
said restrictions kept the group from courting
small businesses. It had to focus on major industry.
That board eventually disbanded and the
EDA took its place. LeCato still heads the group
but new pro-growth and pro-active members
were appointed in recent years. “We’re trying to get a better direction,” LeCato told the
Accomack Board of Supervisors Wednesday.
“We’re not sitting still with these meetings.”
Member Bob Bloxom said his goal is to find
tenants for the 60 acres in the park. “It is a drain
right now. It’s been a drain for a long time.”
Bloxom said the county should gift the property
to prospective companies stipulating time restrictions for building. With added jobs and tax
revenue, the “county would recoup what they
give away,” he said.
But that raises another issue. How will they
keep realtors involved when there is no commission? Bloxom said the solution is to meet with
those companies and come up with an appropriate sales fee. Realtors could also find themselves
selling houses to prospective entrepreneurs.
EDA Member Irene Davis has the marketing side under control. The website
www.economicdevelopmentaccomack.com
was recently revamped and has already gotten
10,000 hits. Davis distributed plans for brochures and folders to the supervisors and wants
to print between 500 and 1,000 that would provide information about the attributes of working, living and playing on the Shore.
Member Wesley Edwards researched comparable counties. He said Accomack is far behind the rest, which have one to five full-time

employees and in some cases budgets of hundreds of thousands of dollars, travel and entertainment funds and cars for the feat.
In recent budget action, The EDA was given
$7,500 of the $25,000 it requested. But supervisors were impressed with the EDA presentation
and seemed ready to open the coffers, at least
a little.
“You can’t expect any organization to be successful if you don’t fund them,” said Supervisor
Wanda Thornton. “If they had some money to
work with, they might do 10 times as much.”
All were reluctant to vote on the issue because
their chairman, Donald Hart, was absent due
to a family emergency. EDA members said they
could put the rest of the $25,000 to good use.
Thornton requested the subject be put on
the next meeting’s agenda. She also faulted the
county for not giving previous IDA and EDA
members the proper guidance and information
to do the job. In addition, Thornton suggested
a meeting with the Army Corps of Engineers
to see if wetlands in the park could be reconsidered.
Supervisor Robert Crockett was also supportive of the EDA plans. “It sounds like a pretty reasonable deal.”

~ Survey~
(Continued From Page 4)
pleasure has been taken from the public, please don’t take the beaches for
the sake of not enough money for their
upkeep.”
The first thing Ennis bought with
her own funds was “flowers for my
Mama.”
Ben G. Nicolls of Parksley also prefers morning. He answered the survey
at about 5 a.m. and said his first stop is
to take a drink from the bathroom faucet. Nicolls also claims not to remember the best little white lie he’s ever
told or what he spent his first money to
buy. He doesn’t believe the coin-saving
figure and favors beach replenishment
because it would “benefit the entire
country.”
J. W. Jeffries of Chincoteague also
chose morning. He misses childhood
because of “all my relatives and friends
who have died.” Jeffries says drinking
water from the bathroom is “safe.” He
favors coins and beach spending. His
first purchase was a used Martin D18
(guitar) from a pawn shop for $185.”
Dorothy Bonney of New Church
likes “dinner time” best and fondly
recalled, “playing outside without my
shoes” as a kid. She only drinks water
from the bathroom when she is taking
medicine and once told her Dad her
“tummy hurt” so he wouldn’t get mad
about the doll she left outside. Bonney is opposed to reverting dollar bills to coins. “It would be so hard
to carry … and saving that amount
wouldn’t help the mess we have for our
spending government.” She favors tax
dollars going for public beaches but
not private ones. The first thing she
bought with her own money was “a
beautiful Jantzen sweater!!”
“Nap time” is Onancock resident
Pat McGuire’s favorite part of the day.
He doesn’t miss being a kid but still
remembers that little white lie, “I’m
studying.” He says the time for folding
dollars has passed and replenishing
beaches is “more fun than AK47s.” He
bought candy with his first money.
Linda Regula of Machipongo gets
up early to listen “to the birds sing and
(watch) squirrels chase each other. She
misses her youth for “the innocence.”
Back then, she enjoyed believing that
everyone is good and (she enjoyed)
chasing fireflies in the dark.” Regula
drinks bottled water and tells white
lies to spare feelings.
She also opposes eliminating the
dollar bill. “There are a number of
people who would have a difficult time
recognizing different coins for one reason or another and the change from a
dollar could make a difference in their
lives.”
Regula also is against tax funds being used for beaches. “The beach front
is a natural thing if people or businesses want to preserve … they should
be the ones to pay for it.” She bought
a class ring by cutting grass, cleaning
houses and baby sitting. “I still have it
but can’t wear it. It is too little.”
Dan Hillman of Locustville says at
his age, which wasn’t disclosed, his favorite time of day is when he wakes up.
“It is a refreshing feeling to know I am
still alive!” He misses the freedom of
youth. “My childhood was 100 percent
fun!” He joked that the best little white
lie he’d ever told is “the one I am about
to tell you!”
Hillman says making $1 coins
would be a waste of time. If it was such
a great idea and would save billions
… how come the Susan B. Anthony …
coin was such a flop?” he asked.
He favored spending for saving
beaches. “However, I think you have to
be more clear on whose tax dollars you
are referring to. If we are talking about
federal tax dollars, then people in Kansas might have a real problem with
that expenditure. But if we are referring to state or local taxes, then those
coastal states and localities have to
realize the value of beaches that bring
tourists and revenue to the area.”
His first purchase was “a bag of
marbles. When I was a kid, baseball and marbles were the things we
played. Could not afford a baseball
glove, but marbles were cheap! Problem with playing marbles was it wore
out the knees of my pants and my Mom
wasn’t too happy about that.”
“Yes!!!!!!” Melody Howard of Chincoteague said of beach replenishment.
“Our community, both the island and
the county, depend on the tourist industry to support them.”
Her “favorite time of the day is
early morning when everyone else in
my family is sleeping and the house
is quiet. I like to sit on the deck and
drink my coffee or take my coffee to the
beach.” She misses her childhood days
with her Mom. Her first money was
spent on a new car when she graduated from college. “It was a 1987 Ford
Mustang! … any way our government
can save taxpayers money is a plus,”
she said of the coins.
“I miss my grandparents,” Lee Ellen
Young of Mearsville said of her childhood. “They were wonderful people
and a big influence in my life.” She
had swift answers to the survey. She
drinks water from the bathroom faucet. “The water comes from the well,
not the toilet,” Young said. Regarding
the coins, “If money can be saved then
it should be done. It sounds like a nobrainer to me.”
“One has to understand the dynamics of barrier islands in order to realize
that replenishing beaches is a futile
action,” Young added. “When Mother
Nature decides the beach should be in
a different place, then that is where
the beach is going to be. It can be replenished or dunes (can be) created
and grass (can be) planted. But when
the storms come, it is all gone again
… this costs millions of dollars every
time.”
“The first thing I bought with my
own money was clothes for school,”
Young wrote. “My parents had always
made sure I had nice clothes and had
taken such good care of me. But I really felt proud of myself when I bought
those clothes. I was 14 (and) a freshman at Atlantic High School.”
Pamela Upshur of Cheriton chose
6:30 p.m. as her favorite time. She
misses “the endless hours of playing
and laughing” she knew as a child.
Upshur was also definite about drinking water from the bathroom spigot.
“No way! I don’t like to do anything
in the bathroom other than bathroom
stuff … I have a rule for my kids, no
food in the bathroom at anytime! Leaves too much to chance.”
“That baby was cute!” was the best
little white lie she ever told. Upshur
says keep the $1 bill. “The next 30
years has not been seen. I like living in
the present. Besides, how much will it
cost to make that change?”
She favors spending to save the
coast. “After the beach is gone, then
the water washes ashore … what defenses will we have?” she asked.
Upshur bought “Levis 501 whitestitch jeans, a pair of Nikes and a ticket to the movies in 1985” when she first
had her own money.
Amy Jo Riggin of Exmore remembers “not having to worry about
$$$$$$” as a kid. She’s all for saving
dollars, which is why she drinks from
the bathroom tap, favored coins and is
opposed to spending to save beaches.
“There are other things to spend tax
money on that are not recreational.”
Vicki Weiskopf of Chincoteague is
a morning lover. She remembers endless summer fun “on bikes and at the
shore. Weiskopf drinks filtered water
as advised by her doctor. She says the
coin exchange needs more study and
favors saving the beaches to benefit
property values and the local economy.
College books were the first things she
bought with her own money.
“No responsibilities” is what Susan Plummer of Exmore remembers
about childhood. She drinks filtered
water and says beaches “they are a
national treasures” worthy of saving.
She bought a car when she got her own
money. Debra Bergner of Hacksneck misses
camping out in the mountains of Idaho
as a kid. Her first money was spent
on “a bright yellow Eisenhower jacket
with black buttons.” It was 1971 and
she was 16. “I still remember that jacket.” It “was top-drawer hang-up-whenI-was-not-wearing-it cool.”
Tom Schwartz of the Melfa area said
his favorite moment is “anytime I
wake up with a pulse!” He misses the
childhood days of not paying taxes and
says if water from the bathroom tap “is
good enough for the dog and cats, it’s
good enough for me!” He’s opposed getting rid of $1 bills “because of the sheer
weight on pants pockets and the cost
of changing out cash registers to fit the
coins. Everything will cost us more.”
“Water always wins,” he said of
beaches. “This is a safety and value to
property ratio issue … Cedar Island
beach versus Ocean City, Md. versus
National Wildlife Refuge beach. (They
are) very difficult decisions.” When
Schwartz started making money he
bought a French-made 10-speed racing-bike. It was 1963. “First one on the
street (and) very fast,” he said.

went to the 10th grade and was considered a risk for bond because in 2011 he did
not show up for a court date. Investigator
Michelle Hallette of NCSO arrested Durell
Fitchett.
He was charged with malicious wounding by a mob “for allegedly beating up (the)
deceased victim who was also shot and killed
during incident,” according to the court file.
Durell Fitchett told police he is on probation
for possession with intent to distribute marijuana, the court record stated.
Deleon Kinte Fitchett was also arrested by
Thomas and is accused of beating the victim.
A checklist for bond was not included in his
record. But Northampton Circuit Court records show he was convicted in 2010 of possession with intent to distribute marijuana. He
lived in Keller at that time and was sentenced
to five years in prison with all but a year suspended. He was also put on probation for five
years and was allowed work release.
Other search warrants in the case were
sealed. Preliminary hearings are set for June.
About 40 people were at a party inside the
auto shop when a territorial dispute occurred
outside, the owner, Arthur Harmon, said in
an interview a few days later.
Deputies responded after an unidentified
person near or at the site called in the incident
about 2 a.m. The next report came from the
hospital where Jordan was taken “by private
vehicle.”
Harmon was hosting a party for employees
and others who helped to clean up the area
when he heard shots in the neighborhood.
“We didn’t know what was going on outside,” he said,. Still, when Harmon went to
take a look and saw the victim on the ground
“there wasn’t any blood.”
“I actually thought he got in a scuffle and
they knocked him down,” the 63-year-old
continued. “Things just happen over territory,” Harmon said. “Every time something
like that happens it’s youth from up the road
and down the road.”
Harmon said he went back inside for a
while. When he returned outside, the man
was gone. Harmon said the incident had
nothing to do with his party.
“It started with someone kicking cars” that
belonged to “people who live in the house in
front” of his business, Harmon said he learned
later. One side of one vehicle was damaged
and the fender of another was smashed.

ACCOMACK COUNTY
ARSON UPDATE
By Linda Cicoira
Tonya Susan Bundick and Charles Robert Smith III, the couple now notoriously
known for being accused of setting fires on
the Eastern Shore, haven’t been in contact
with each other since they were arrested
a month ago, Sheriff Todd Godwin said
Wednesday.
“No communication, verbal or written,”
has occurred, the sheriff, who oversees the
jail, added.
But the pair is continuing to seek bond
and they could get a glimpse of each other
in court at some point. Preliminary hearings
that were set for May 6 in Accomack General District Court were continued until June
17. Psychological testing was also ordered
for the suspects.
Bundick, 40, and her fiancé, Smith, also
known as Charlie Applegate, 38, lived on
Matthews Road in Hopeton when they
were arrested. They were detained down
the street from a fire that police say they
watched Smith set on April 1 at a house being renovated on Airport Drive near Melfa.
Bundick allegedly dropped Smith at the site
and returned to pick him up.
Both were charged with arson and conspiracy to commit arson in connection with
one of about 80 fires that were deliberately
set in the county between November 2012
and April.
Court records show Smith has confessed to more than 50 fires and told police
Bundick set 15.
She is set to go before an Accomack Circuit Court judge on May 6 to appeal Accomack District Court Judge Vincent Gordon’s order to deny bail. At press time, a
court date for Smith had not been scheduled. But, his lawyer had requested the
hearing. A magistrate made the same decision regarding bond for the suspects before
the judge was asked.
A dollar figure for the amount of damage from all the fires is still being calculated.
Firefighters from local volunteer fire departments responded to each of the fires. Most
of the members also hold full-time jobs.
Godwin said his department didn’t
spend much money for the crime spree
even though his officers worked a lot of
hours.
“We were lucky,” said Godwin. “We
still ran our day to day stuff. We made it
work. It’s a good group of guys. They do a
good job … they do not get paid overtime.
They get comp time. Our guys worked and
worked and worked and never complained.
It was their county, they were dedicated to
catching” the culprits.
Corinne Geller, a spokesperson for the
state police, which was in charge of the
investigation, said her agency “has not received any additional funding to cover any
expenses associated with investigating the
arsons in Accomack County.” From Dec.
1, 2012 to April 13, the state police spent:
$112,833 on lodging expenses for additional personnel supplementing existing
patrols and investigative needs; $67,404
on meals for those workers; $86,671.91 in
fuel costs for workers assigned to arson patrol and investigations; $37,837 in aviation
expenses.
In addition, she said the state officers
worked 26,378 regular hours and earned
2,731 hours of comp time and another
12,193.5 hours of paid overtime.
When asked about a motive for the arsons, Geller said, “The investigation still remains ongoing as we work with the commonwealth’s attorney to prepare for these
cases to go to trial. We do not want to release any additional information that could
jeopardize these two individuals from being
fairly and justly prosecuted for their crimes.”

F
or Lawrence Burton, the journey
was never about athletic feats,
but about striving for excellence
in everything he did.
And on Saturday night, when he
was one of six men inducted into the
Virginia Sports Hall of Fame, he gave
all the credit to his parents, James and
Drucilla Burton from Melfa.
His father, who died in 1973, saw
him compete in the Olympics, but did
not live to see him selected in the first
round of the NFL draft. His mother
died in 2000 and lived with him at
Boys Town in both Omaha, Neb., and
in Los Angeles.
“They had some rules, of which I
will name just a few,” Burton told the
crowd of more than 500 who attended
the 2013 Induction Ceremony at the
Portsmouth Renaissance Hotel and
Conference Center.
“I was taught to show respect to
my elders, understand the value of a
good education and be committed to
everything I did. It was these lessons
I learned from my parents that helped
me through any challenge I faced in
life,” said Burton, who noted that the
late John Howard Parsons, a former
coach at Mary N. Smith High School,
also had a profound effect on him.
Burton recalled that he once brought
home a report card with a single “B”
and was sent to his room by his mother
with the admonition that she knew he
could do better. She knew best, as Burton was the valedictorian of his 1970
graduating class Smith.
“I could have gone most anywhere,
but I chose Purdue University because
the guys who recruited me were more
interested in studying than partying,”
said Burton. A National Honor Society
student at Purdue, he was selected to
SPORTS
For Lawrence Burton It Was More Than Games
a prestigious society based on academics, integrity and service.
“The campus at Purdue had more
people than there were in all of Accomack County, and there were times I
was so homesick for the Shore I wanted
to come home,” Burton said. “But my
parents taught me to be committed to
anything I did and not to be a quitter.”
There was no track program at
Smith, and when Burton showed
world-class speed on the football field
with a 4.2 40-yard dash, the football
coach urged him to see the track coach.
The first time he ran the 60-yard
dash, Burton tied the world record with
5.9 seconds. Less than eight months
later, he was in the Munich Olympics,
where he finished fourth in the 200
meters. In between, he won four Big
Ten track titles and was the NCAA
champion in the 200-meter dash.
On the football field, Burton was the
team captain and MVP, earning consensus first-team All-American honors
his senior year.
Drafted in the first round and seventh overall by the New Orleans Saints
in 1974, he would have signed for millions in today’s era. But it was never
about money for Burton, a deeply religious man who prizes family above all.
He has been married to the former
Ida Needam of Greenbush for 42 years,
and on Saturday night he told her from
the podium how much he loves her, as
their daughters, Shanaeya, an OB/
GYN, and Christie, a businesswoman,
looked on. Their son, Larry Jr., was
involved in graduation ceremonies in
Omaha and could not be present. But
other family members and friends
from the Shore were there.
After the ceremony, three of the
younger of the seven Burton grandchil-
dren rushed to hug Burton, not to congratulate him, but just because he was
their grandfather. Two of the grandchildren, Trey and Clay Burton, are key
players on the nationally ranked University of Florida football team.
Burton was injured for much of his
three seasons with New Orleans, but
found instant success with San Diego
when he caught two touchdown passes
in his first game on a Monday night
televised contest that helped put the
Chargers in the 1978 playoffs.
Part of a vaunted Air Coryell attack
with Hall of Fame quarterback Dan
Fouts, Burton was in the best health of
his career in 1980 when he decided to retire and devote his life to service.
Burton, his wife and three children
left their New Orleans home with a
pool and moved to Omaha, Neb., where
they lived in a modest facility and took
in wayward youth at Boys Town, USA.
In 1992, Sports Illustrated awarded
Burton the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian
Award and published a 16-page article
on his work with youth at Boys Town,
many of whom did not know Burton
was a former athlete, so little did he
talk about his past.
Burton was selected to start the first
Boys Town facility outside of Omaha in
the roughest area of Los Angeles. He
spent another 15 years there working
with troubled youth.
Today, Burton is the executive director of the Willie Ross Foundation, an
organization based in California that
works with disabled and deaf adults.
Always full of laughter and as gregarious an individual as you will ever
meet, Burton said Saturday that he
has bonded with his fellow inductees:
Frankie Allen, Cornell Brown, Dean
Elhers, Robert Pratt, Bill Roth and
Dick Tarrent.
On Friday, he played golf with the
group —
although he is not a golfer —
and on Saturday afternoon he sat at a
long table signing autographs at the
Virginia Sports Hall of Fame, where a
plaque now honors Burton for his college, Olympian and NFL feats.
But the true measure of a man is
how he lives his life apart from the
field. And on that score, no one stands
taller than Lawrence Burton, who never forgets his roots and sings the praises of the Eastern Shore of Virginia at
every opportunity he gets.
Lawrence Burton with his Virginia Sports Hall of Fame Plaque presented Saturday night.
Crouse Wins 2 Flounder Tourneys; 13-year-old Lands 20.5-Lb. Tog
An 8.4-pound, 26-inch flounder
caught by Charles Crouse of York, Pa.,
held up to win both the Wachapreague
Marina’s Spring Flounder Tournament
and Captain Zed’s Flounder Tournament to earn the angler a total of
$4,000 in prize money.
Taking second in each tournament
was Turk Ridenour with a 6.9-pound,

Flounder fishing picked up significantly over the weekend as the weather improved, but windy conditions this
week did not help anglers.

what would have been an IGFA worldrecord tautog for a junior angler Sunday
when she landed a 32-inch, 20-pound,
5-ounce tautog Sunday fishing on the

Nandua Tightens Softball Grip on First Place with 11-2 Win
Story and photos by Bill Sterling
Nandua took a two-game lead in the
Shore District softball race with an 11-2
win over Northampton Wednesday.
The Warriors erupted for eight runs
in the seventh inning after holding a
3-2 lead entering the final frame.
The rally was highlighted by Michala Wescott’s three-run homer. Autumn Ferguson was 3-4 with an RBI.
Wescott, Grace Holmes, Janay Joseph,
Kinsey Kellam and Caroline Harvie
each had two hits. Sarah Puchlaski
had two RBIs.
Holmes struck out nine while allowing three hits and issuing four walks to
get the win for Nandua.
For Northampton, Kaylyn Wright
had a double and Briana Williams had
an RBI two-bagger.
The Nandua softballers scored 11
runs in the first inning en route to a
21-2 win over Arcadia last Thursday.
Holmes, Joseph, Katie Brewster, and
Kellam each had three hits for the Warriors. Holmes got the win and also continued her hot hitting with a home run,
her fourth in three games.Taylor Lewis
had a double and an RBI for Arcadia.
Webb Earns
Two More Saves
Senior left-hander Tyler Webb
continues to excel out of the bullpen
for the University of South Carolina
with two more saves over the weekend against LSU to extend his season total to 14.
Webb pitched a scoreless ninth inning in Saturday’s 4-2 win and followed that with 1.1 perfect innings
in the 4-0 victory. Webb has a phenomenal 0.59 ERA in 21 appearances
with a 2-1 record and 14 saves in 30.1
innings of work. He has 44 strikeouts
to just seven walks, with opponents
hitting .170 against him. He has not
allowed a run in 19 of 21 appearances
this year.
His 14 saves lead the SEC, with
eight of those coming in conference
play, also the highest mark in league
play. Webb has 99 career appearances, second in team history and three
behind the record.
Northampton jumped to an 8-0 lead
after two innings and went on to defeat Chincoteague 10-1 last Thursday
at home.
The Lady Jackets were led by Taylor Nadeau with three hits and three
RBIs. Wright also got three hits and
two RBIs. Northampton broke the
game open in the second inning with 5
runs, highlighted by a 2-RBI single by
Shana Harrison.
Rachel Leffel got the win on the
mound with five strikeouts and one
walk and scattered six hits.
Cari Parks pitched the entire game
for the Ponies and struck out seven.
Kristen Fox scored the only run for
the Ponies with a triple in the fourth.
Parks had a single and an RBI for
Chincoteague.
Curtis Ormsby led the Warrior offense by going 3-3 with a double and
four RBIs. Jake Guy had two RBIs
and also pitched an inning to finish off
the five-inning game. Will Grier, Ryan
Haynie and Noah Zember each had
two hits for the unbeaten Warriors.
Northampton won its first baseball
game of the season last Thursday over
Chincoteague as Hunter Webb hit a
grand slam and was the winning pitcher in a 9-5 win.
Heenan Extends
Scoreless Streak
Austin Heenan increased his scoreless inning streak this season to 24.2
as Nandua toppled Arcadia 14-0 last
Thursday.
Heenan, a southpaw who will pitch
for VMI next season, has not allowed a
run this season and hurled four scoreless innings while allowing one hit, one
walk and striking out 10 Firebirds.
Nandua’s Kinsey Kellam slides in safely as Northampton’s Katelyn Weber attempts to make the tag in Nandua’s 11-2 win Wednesday.
Northampton Scores Late Goal to Nip Nandua 2-1
Kylief Richmond scored on a free
kick with less than two minutes remaining to give Northampton a key
2-1 win over Nandua Wednesday night.
The two teams are now tied for the district lead with one loss each. Nandua
defeated the Jackets 1-0 earlier in the
season.
After a scoreless first half, North
ampton controlled the ball for much of
the second half and took a 1-0 lead at
17:48 on a Casey Paglia goal.
Nandua tied it up on a David Wright
penalty kick with 4:24 left.
Richmond then delivered his gamewinning goal. The final whistle blew
just seconds later as Northampton
players celebrated a hard-fought win
over its district arch-rival.
The two teams will meet again May
13 at Northampton with the winner
the likely district champion.
Northampton’s Raul Gildo, 19, and Ryan Bono converge on the ball as
Nandua defenders approach in the Jackets’ 2-1 win Wednesday.

plates from halyards, the
sense of the action-packed
adventure is clear.
For instance, when Poyer
tells me, “Water crashed on
the coach roof -- flooded over
the viewport,” I’m not exactly sure what happened, but
I know it can’t be good.
The author takes readers through
nail-biting catastrophes in life-threatening conditions without let-up. The
book reads almost like a whodunit,
with readers never knowing which of
several suspects -- howling wind, accumulating ice, mammoth waves, subzero weather, otherworldly whale or
insidious disease -- might strike which
character.
Though Poyer hints at more heavy
secrets than he reveals in the end, the
jolting action that DOES occur will
have many rereading passages to be
sure that they really said what they
thought they said.
For some reason, modern books
seem to have more typographical errors than their predecessors, and “The
POST Script
By Cheryl Nowak
I suppose I haven’t
“done” a book report
since I was in about
the sixth grade.
So it’s high time I did another.
And it’s high time I read a book by
local author David Poyer. After all,
he’s only written more than 30.
Since two of his most notable are
“The Gulf” and “The Med,” I mistakenly had assumed Poyer wrote only war
novels.
Wrong.
But then, some of his readers might
consider his most recent novel, “The
Whiteness of the Whale,” something of
a military tome, pitting environmentalists against Japanese whalers.
In fact, as if to make that precise
point, one of the characters says, “You
accept danger in battle. This is our
war, for whales.”
Once I began the book, I was intrigued, to say the least, because
Poyer’s main character is an animal
behaviorist -- as is my sister. Both
women have serious experience working with marine animals; my sister,
in fact, trained dolphins for the U.S.
Navy.
Anyway, I was taken with Poyer’s
writing. Simply put, he is good. As an
editor, I have read my share of drivel,
as well as stilted efforts to be literary
or even “deep.”
Poyer’s story WILL test your knowledge of all things nautical. The entire
324-page saga takes place aboard a
sailboat plying the waters at the bottom of the Earth. But even if you don’t
know a coaming from a genoa or chain-

Whiteness of the Whale” is no different. Now and then, you will feel compelled to dig out your red pen and alert
a proofreader somewhere of your find.
And while some of Poyer’s metaphors are a bit forced, others flow
like the tide itself. For example, “The
wind clawed at her, flapping the hood
around her head as if ravens were attacking her.” Now that’s good.
As any respectable story about a
white whale must, this one traces its
roots to “Moby Dick” in a very real way,
paying that Herman Melville masterpiece the homage most say it deserves.
As an English major and in the interest of full disclosure, I must confess
that I have never read “Moby Dick,”
though I have enjoyed other Melville
books. I was dissuaded from reading it
when an English teacher whom I respect greatly told me he wouldn’t read
it, largely because of such mind-numbing passages as a 15-page description
of a harpoon.
I’ll stick with Poyer for my white
whale fix, thank you.
