Free November 30, 2012 Circulation 13,000 Efficiency Central to $86 Million Hospital By Linda Cicoira A severe shortage of healthcare workers is forecast based on the age of those in the field and the number of students studying for related jobs, Joe Zager, vice president of Strategic Development for Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital, told Onancock officials Monday. “Maximizing efficiency of providers is the key,” he said, explaining the new hospital coming to Onley “will be a step forward in helping us to do that.” Public Information Officer Peter Glagola of Riverside Health Systems said Tuesday the projected cost of the new hospital is $86 million; it includes the building and equipment. Zager said the current hospital employs about 300 and since the new location will be more centrally located to the population, he expects business to pick up by 10 percent to 20 percent. Still, he added, the Eastern Shore “is a medically understaffed area … we’re moving full speed ahead.” Earlier this month, he reported that groundbreaking is set for May; patients should be admitted about two years later. “We’re really pretty excited about all that,” Zager said. The 78-bed hospital will be about 160,000 square feet, with three operating rooms, a 24-hour Emergency Department, a diagnostic center with fixed MRI and a 40,000-square-foot medical office building including oncology services. According to Zager, friends across (Continued on Page 4) Arsonist Sought Photo courtesy of easternshorefire.com Firefighers were dispatched on Nov. 24 to a fire in a trailer on Gladding Road in Mears. The woods nearby also quickly caught a blaze. This is among the incidents suspected to be arson. (See story on Page 3.) Accomack Officials To ‘Ship Out’ for One Night By Linda Cicoira Accomack officials and high-ranking NASA Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) staff are taking a trip with the Navy next week. They’ve accepted an invitation to spend the night aboard the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman via a C-2A Greyhound — the same plane the Navy wants to use for touch-and-go missions at the Wallops airstrip. Board of Supervisors Vice Chairwoman Wanda Thornton, Supervisors Ron Wolff, Robert Crockett and Reneta Major and County Administrator Steve Miner have signed up for the Dec. 5-6 journey. Supervisor Jack Gray also wanted to attend but was turned down because he is 81 years old. “We have today been advised that Navy policy limits this invitation to persons 75 and under,” Miner said Tuesday. “I expect that they will provide a separate invitation to those of that (older) age group to a separate event. We have also been told to expect a fee of $60 per person for meals and incidental expenses. … I have advised the members that I believe this to be eligible for county funding. … Nonetheless, I know that some will pay their own way, but have not heard from all those who expect to attend as to their intentions … I am paying my costs personally.” The supervisors unanimously voted in September to ask the Navy to demonstrate the missions proposed at NASA. The action came after John Custis, a lawyer representing David and Phil Hickman of Dublin Farms, complained that the plan would adversely affect the quality of life for area residents, increase safety hazards and offer no benefits to the county. Custis said the plan would involve 45,000 operations a year, with many of the landings being done at night. He wanted the supervisors to oppose the missions because of noise levels. Landings would be 70 decibels and comparable to “running a vacuum in a living room,” he said. The lawyer said not only would the Hickmans suffer, but residents of Corbin Hall, Captain’s Cove and Trails End also would be affected. He referred to a Navy jet that recently crashed into an apartment complex in Virginia Beach. The pilots in (Continued on Page 5) 2 • Eastern Shore Post • November 30, 2012 Onancock Uncovers Unexpected Financial Bounty By Linda Cicoira Onancock Town Council learned Monday of tens of thousands of dollars found recently in its coffers. The panel then quickly allocated the funds to pay for a harbor project and a new police officer. Town Manager Thomas Robinett attributed the newfound funds to various sources. More than $8,700 of the money stolen by former clerk Colleen Patricia Reiber in 2010 and 2011 was recovered through insurance. Reimbursement funds of $24,473 were uncovered in the Onancock Landing project. More than $27,000 was obtained in a settlement for delays with the contractor, who built the town’s wastewater treatment plant. And the town had a reduction in debt service for using less money than anticipated to construct that project, for a savings of $17,758. Council voted to spend $28,478 for expenses of an additional police officer. Onancock plans to take in $5,000 from its Tall Ship Committee and appropriated $45,000 toward erecting a new harbormaster building and re- pairing damage to the dock and finger piers from Hurricane Sandy. Mayor Russell Jones said that within 10 days Robinett would pursue design and engineering plans. Councilman T. Lee Byrd, chairman of the Waterfront Committee, said a grant received for $180,000 includes a 25 percent match by the town. Byrd said volunteer hours given for painting and other work on the building could be included in the town’s share. And it also was reported Monday that the town’s bookkeeping was so lax over the last 10 years that it couldn’t be determined if about 100 taxpayers owed back levies. Resident Charlotte Edmonds said it was the first time in her 81 years that she has received a delinquent notice. It wasn’t valid. She said she went to the bank and got a copy of the check she had written for the tax to prove it. Edmonds called the practice of sending bills to taxpayers who already paid an “unethical way to find money.” I am embarrassed and ashamed.” She said she was concerned for those who paid in cash and couldn’t prove it. The town “is asking residents to pay for mistakes made by town management.” Jones blamed Accomack County for the errors. “None of us were here,” he said, adding that the town plans to get its own tax system. “It is a difficult situation — not a money grab — an attempt to get our records straight.” Edmonds later said she was furious that the mayor blamed the county for the tax errors. She said the money was collected at the town office and should have been recorded there. “We’re trying to improve our bookkeeping,” said Councilman Fletcher Fosque. “You can’t overlook them as a town,” he added of those who were sent the letters. “We haven’t demanded payment of anyone,” said Jones. Robinett said some people admitted they hadn’t paid and came in and did so after receiving the letters. The town also collected money from banks that hadn’t paid from escrow accounts. Shirley Zamora complained that tax bills were sent out late this year so there was less time to pay. The mayor responded that the bills were mailed out as soon as they were received from the county. Zamora also noted that some yard trash had still not been picked up by town workers and “looked terrible for visitors.” She said she hopes the situation will be addressed before the Christmas home tour. “If you want to be a Tree City, you have to pick up the debris,” she said. Jones promised the rest of the tree limbs and leaves would be taken away before the tour. He also reported the town would begin work soon on a septic receiving facility paid for with $370,000 that was left in a grant. The town also will get $104,000 back that it put up for broadband. It was also announced that Onancock’s Christmas Parade would start on College Avenue this year and end at the dock. “We’re trying to leave as much of the town open” as possible, the mayor said. £ÝÄænÓ I ÓÝAÝn nônÏö Please join us at the Book Bin for our Annual Open House December 8, 2012 Featuring: Tastings of Blue Crab Bay snacks & dips Free brewed coffee 20% off select titles for perfect gift-giving Door prizes & raffles 0´āòò ´~ 0A¢ãQ Qāßđ $-" (drawing held Dec. 24 - don’t have to be present to win) Four Corner Plaza Onley, VA (757) 787-7866 Gifts Toys Games Movies Puppets Puzzles Stationery Albums Tervis tumblers Stocking stuffers And more! @ēǨǨǨǨƝŖñƝƝǨ »»ë Ǩ :ne òßā 0Aò » Ǩ 0ā »ėë Ǩ !´eAđ I :nenãeAđ òßā 0AòāßeAđ November 30, 2012 • Eastern Shore Post • 3 Search for Arsonist Continues Student Artists Photo by Linda Cicoira Pungoteague Elementary School students celebrated American Education Week recently with contests and other activities.

By Linda Cicoira State and county police and fire investigators were continuing at press time Thursday to probe about two dozen fires in Accomack County that they believe were set this month by a serial arsonist or arsonists. The last incident was reported at about 11 p.m. Wednesday in an abandoned structure on Racetrack Road in Melfa. The fires have occurred between New Church and Melfa, all in abandoned buildings, including houses, trailers and barns, the officials continued. The blazes were set between 8:30 p.m. and 4 a.m. There have been no injuries. “The Accomack County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) and the Virginia State Police have received a significant number of tips related to these arsons,” said Sheriff Todd Godwin. “We want to thank the many residents who have reached out to us in the past week with information. As a result of the public’s overwhelming response and assistance, we have several strong leads we are currently pursuing at this time.” “Based on our ongoing investigation, we feel certain that the person or persons responsible for these fires is a resident of Accomack County and is known to local residents,” said Capt. Tim Reibel, commander of the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s Chesapeake Field Office. “This individual is going to be coming and going at different hours of the night, may be acting differently in his or her behavior and will probably show an unusual interest in media coverage of the fires and/or consistently steer conversations to talking about the fires.” Investigators are encouraging anyone with information about the fires or about vehicles or people seen in the areas near the destroyed structures to call State Police at 1-800-582-8350 or 757-424-6820, or the ACSO at 7871131. Information that leads to an arrest and conviction could result in a reward of up to $5,000 from the Virginia Chapter of the International Association of Arson Investigators.

Bob McDonnell has announced that his request for federal disaster assistance to help local and state governments — including Accomack and Northampton counties — recover from the impact of Hurricane Sandy has been approved by President Obama. The Public Assistance Program of FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) makes funding available to reimburse state and local governments for costs associated with response and recovery efforts, such as debris removal and related emergency services, as well as the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities. “I thank President Obama for his prompt decision to grant federal disaster assistance for local and state ~ Hospital ~ the southeast say “rural communities are suffering with no light at the end of that tunnel. This building project … will also provide a tremendous boost to the (local) economy.” He said as much local labor as possible will be utilized. A smaller facility being completed in Williamsburg used between 200 and 300 construction workers. Zager promised to bring updates to Onancock every three or four months. “We don’t really have a place to put 200 laborers,” said Mayor Russell Jones. “Certainly Exmore will do well … a lot of opportunities with the hospital. There should be opportunities for rentals. A third to half the employees will need housing.” governments,” said McDonnell. “This action will go a long way toward reimbursing local governments for their costs.” The governor’s additional request for assistance for individuals in Accomack County is still under consideration. “I encourage FEMA to take a close look at the situation in Accomack County where a disproportionate number of citizens were affected by Hurricane Sandy and to move to approve individual assistance for them as soon as possible,” said McDonnell. In addition, the governor announced that FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program was approved for all Virginia localities. This funding source helps local and state governments take actions to reduce the impact of future disasters, such as elevating homes in flood zones and flood-proofing businesses. (Continued From Front Page) Councilman T. Lee Byrd praised and thanked Zager. “We’re so happy to have the hospital coming,” Byrd said.

He also asked the commission to consider changes to welk-pot bait requirements. Commissioners asked staff to bring back recommendations regarding both requests after investigating “industrywide needs.” “My father is 85 years old and holds an unlimited horseshoe crab permit,” Bender continued. “The permit will die with him.” Bender wants the permit to be transferred. “It is an issue we’re taking up,” the officials informally agreed. The commission voted to allow the Army Corps of Engineers to place up to 60,000 cubic yards of dredged material, per dredge cycle, in a 1,000-foot by 1,000-foot overboard placement site in Bradford Bay when Wachapreague and Finney creeks are dredged.

(757)665-7729 By Linda Cicoira The Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC) voted unanimously last week to continue its crabstock rebuilding program by closing the winter crab dredge fishery for the fifth consecutive year. The panel also authorized staff and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) to conduct a study to better determine the number of crabs that are damaged, unusable and/or unavailable for spawning when dredge gear is used. The VMRC also voted unanimously to extend the fall crab-pot season until Dec. 15 because of the impact of Hurricane Sandy. The same is being done in Maryland. The daily bushel limits for the 2013 crab season will be 27, 32, 38, 45 or 55 bushels a day, depending on the number of crab pots permitted for each of the five classes of commercial crab licenses. The limits are intended to restrain the daily catch to make up for additional crabs that would be caught during the extended fall season.

The federal government, of course, is not bound by any local rules.” “Guests will fly on board the ship via a C-2A Greyhound and experience an arrested landing,” Deputy Chief of Staff for Shore and Environmental Readiness J.W. Murphy wrote to Miner in a letter dated Nov. 15. “While aboard, guests will have the opportunity to also experience the traditions of Navy life at sea and observe Navy flight operations.” They also will be able to interact “with the more than 5,000 sailors” and talk “with pilots and aircrew about the challenges of flying to and from an aircraft carrier at sea and why we need to conduct extensive training at a shore facility prior to operating at the ship.” When the Navy was interested in using the county airport in Melfa two years ago, an exhibition was planned but never occurred because the Navy began investigating a different site. Local residents were opposed then too because of the anticipated noise. Farmers depend on planes to spray their fields and complained that missing a needed application by one day could wipe out a crop. If the Navy had gone there, it would have paid to lease the airport but it also would have restricted other air traffic during its missions. A Navy spokesman who addressed the Board of Supervisors and the Airport Commission in 2010 said missions could cause dangerous rubber buildup on a portion of the runway, noise levels would be about 91 decibels and the airfield would be closed to civilian traffic for at least 15 hours a week while operations were being performed, probably in three-hour increments. “There is going to be a sound,” the spokesman said. “There’s definitely going to be a sound.” But the noise would not be comparable to jets heard in the Virginia Beach area, he said.

November 30, 2012 • Eastern Shore Post • 7 School-Bus Driver Expected To Resume Route Following Suspension By Linda Cicoira Greenbackville area residents are planning to display yellow ribbons in their yards on Dec. 6 to welcome back school-bus driver Leon Harmon. Harmon said Wednesday he is still waiting for a final decision from Accomack Public School Superintendent Dr. Bruce Benson before returning to his former route. After a mother complained recently to school administrators that Harmon threatened her son, the 37-year veteran driver was taken off bus duty. Verification of the incident was not possible because a video camera on the vehicle didn’t work. School activist Connie Burford said she accompanied Harmon to a meeting with Benson Monday. “If all goes well in the next day or so … you should be seeing the sweet smiling face of your beloved bus driver back on his route,” Burford said. “I have more respect for our super- intendent for correcting a wrongful situation in this incident than I have ever had for any of his predecessors,” she added. “We are truly blessed.” Dozens of residents rallied for Harmon at a School Board meeting last week. Some of the parents complained that since Harmon was removed from the bus, it has been several hours late, the new driver has to pull off the road to reprimand students and they fear for the safety of their children. Before that, Burford said Benson suspended Harmon for 10 days, said he would put a note in Harmon’s file and would give Harmon a different route. Initially, Harmon had been fired, Burford said. Then he was called back to work in the school garage, she added. Harmon appealed the decision to the School Board, which took no action. The driver did not attend the board meeting and administrators would not comment on his job status. Different Address. Same Exceptional Care.

Covatta Jr., owner of an Eastern Shore nursery and a Norfolk-based equipment company, died early Sunday, Nov. 25, 2012, at his home on Folly Creek. He was 66 years old and had been battling cancer for the past year. A native of Troy, N.Y., and a graduate of the MassaMr. Covatta chusetts Institute of Technology (SB 1968) and Harvard University (MBA 1972), Mr. Covatta moved to the Eastern Shore in 1980 after purchasing Eastern Shore Nursery of Virginia, a wholesale nursery near Keller. He also co-founded the Atlantis Group in Norfolk, Va., which consists of four Mid-Atlantic operating subsidiaries, including CFE Equipment Corporation.

He served as a senior consultant with Boston Consulting Group, a vice president of Gulf Oil Corporation, a staff executive of General Electric, and an executive vice president of AI International Corporation. When he came to the Shore, Mr. Covatta brought with him not just his business expertise, but a deep personal appreciation and love for higher education and the arts — and above all a devotion to his wife and business partner, Robin Rinaca.

Mr. Covatta’s involvement in his daughters’ activities led him to play a minor role in a local production of “The Nutcracker.” He enjoyed it so much that he became a frequent performer at North Street Playhouse in Onancock.

In the last year of his life, Mr. Covatta was steadfastly positive, saying often that he had had “a good life” and no reason to complain. He had a lifelong passion for the New York Yankees and he loved to travel with his family. One might speculate that his greatest regret would be that he was able to collect only two Social Security checks.

That’s saying a lot in these times. And then there was the youth football I found fascinating to watch this fall. It takes another entire group of volunteers for these pint-sized players to enjoy the game. It will be these players who we will be watching in a few years at the high-school level. The experience and knowledge they gain from their youth coaches and the competition will greatly help the quality of high-school football in the future. To all these people, the high-school players and coaches owe a tremendous debt of gratitude. I tip my hat to you as well. — here is barely time to catch one’s breath between the end of football, volleyball and cross country seasons before boys’ and girls’ basketball and wrestling commence this week. See the early season schedules of the winter sports on Page 18. But first, a few quick comments on the sports that recently concluded. Kudos should go to the countless volunteers who work behind the scenes to make these sports possible. I am talking about people who work in the concession stands, line the fields or mark the courts, hold the first-down markers, operate scoreboards, collect at the admission booths and perform other jobs that garner little attention but are important to the overall success of an event. And then there are the equipment managers, ball boys and trainers who are so vital to the team’s performance. Local EMS workers and police officers bring an element of safety to the games. The local football teams are also fortunate to have entertaining and informative announcers who bring pleasure to the crowd with their updates and play-by-play descriptions. For those who can’t make it to the game, WESR Radio has provided a service for many years now to local football fans with weekly games. In the beginning of the football season, any referee who wasn’t employed by the NFL was getting a bad rep due to the scrutiny placed on the replacement referees. I, for one, was impressed with the quality of the officiating at both football and volleyball games locally. Rarely was there any call that raised objections from the coaches or created any hint of controversy, even from the SPORTS Youth football players line up in recent action in the Accomack County Youth League. Above, a pair of volunteers who held the first-down markers leave the field following a recent game.

Nandua Football Meeting Dec. 20 NCPR Basketball Registration Set Northampton Wrestlers Top Nandua, Fall to Group AAA Nansemond River Northampton lost to Group AAA Nansemond River 51-29 and then defeated Nandua 60-24 Wednesday night at the Jacket gym. “It was about what I expected,” said Northampton coach Will Leland. “We gave up 18 points in forfeits, but we will fill those positions as the season goes along. We are pointing to the War on the Shore tourney next weekend in Salisbury. That will be a good test for us,” said Leland, referring to a tourney that draws top teams from the East Coast. Northampton’s Charlie DeMarino (113 lbs.), Malik McCaskill (120 lbs.) and Raul Gildo (160 lbs.) all registered two pins on the night. Casey Paglia, state champion for the past two seasons and now wrestling at 145 pounds, scored a technical decision in the first match and a pin in the nightcap against Nandua. Ryan Bono (106 lbs.) scored a pin against Nansemond Suffolk and won in a forfeit against Nandua. For Nandua, Maurice Tolliver won a decision with a pin, and Bryan Wade, Josh Medina and Alex Pruitt won in forfeits in the Northampton match. Nandua was defeated handily by Nansemond Suffolk, a much larger school. In other matches in the Northampton-Nandua contest, the Jackets’ Aiden Ingram (126 lbs.), Justin Elting (132 lbs.), Alan Killebrew (138 lbs.), Hakeem Berry (170 lbs.) and Austin Brady (220 lbs.) won with pins over their opponents. Brady had the quickest pin of the night, in 36 seconds, with DeMarino and McCaskill getting pins in 40 and 41 seconds, respectively. Northampton will compete in an Henrico Quad meet today and will not be at home again until Jan. 11-12. Nandua travels today for a match with Snow Hill, Md. Casey Paglia of Northampton, two time state titleist, records a decision over a Nansemond River wrestler and recorded a pin in his final match of the night in a match against Nandua.

Northampton hosted a wrestling match Wednesday with Nandua and Nansemond River (see results on Page 15). The Jackets will travel to Henrico for a quad meet today and then go to Salisbury, Md., next weekend for the War on the Shore meet, where Northampton will be the only Group A school among 32 teams that include national caliber squads. The Jackets have two-time state champion Casey Paglia returning this season to seek a third title in the 145- pound weight class. Last year, Paglia amassed a 50-3 record and was named All-District and All-Region in the 126-pound class. But Paglia is not the only top wrestler on the Jacket squad. “We have five wrestlers back who placed in states,” said fourth-year head coach Will Leland. “We should be strong.” He named team captains Ryan Bono, Charlie DeMarino, Malik McCaskill and Laquan Hairston and the return of Raul Gildo after a year’s absence as wrestlers who will help Paglia, also a team captain, make a strong showing in region competion and and possibly the state meet. Nandua travels to Snow Hill, Md., today for a match before two road meets next week against Middlesex on Thursday and Lake Taylor on Saturday. Coach Nathan Metzler has a young but deep squad of 32 wrestlers that includes only two seniors, Bryan Wade and Maurice Tolliver, and 11 freshmen. Arcadia, led by first-year head coach Lou Bornes, did not have a wrestling match this week due to early season schedule changes. The Firebirds lost several wrestlers who placed at the state meet last year, in addition to longtime head coach Bill Prince, who retired. Broadwater has started a wrestling program at the club level with plans to eventually field a high-school program with Steve Custis at the helm. Basketball In Full Force While only three schools now field wrestling squads, five Shore schools have both boys’ and girls’ basketball teams.

Javante James of Nandua was named the Offensive MVP and Mikey Geffrard of Arcadia was selected Defensive MVP. In addition to being named as a linebacker on defense, Geffrard was selected as a first-team running back. Other players appearing on both the first-team offense and defense were Nandua’s David Wright, who was named as placekicker on offense and defensive back, and Will Grier, also of Nandua, an offensive end and punter on defense. Nandua, which won the Eastern Shore District title with a 4-0 record, dominated the team, with 13 players selected to the first-team offensive and defensive squads. Arcadia, 2-2 on the season in the district, had five players chosen. Northampton, winless on the season, had three players selected. Geffrard, selected as a running back and linebacker, was “the heart and soul of our defense,” said Arcadia coach Tony Nock. Geffrard recorded 37 tackles in four district games and 98 tackles for the season. “His presence was all over the football field and gave us the big plays when we really needed it,” said Nock, who added that Geffrard worked extremely hard in the weight room during the off-season. “He was a team captain and he took that role seriously, leading by example on and off the football field,” said Nock. Javante James of Nandua, select- ed as a running back, racked up over 1,000 yards this season. A focused and determined runner, James refused to be tackled, according to Nandua coach Chris Miles, who added, “It was a pleasure to have coached Javonte, and he will be missed.” Tyreim Blake of Nandua, quarterback, led the district in passing, rushing for over 500 yards as well and 12 touchdowns. “Tyreim is a competitor, and the single-wing offense works for him because he can use his athleticism in many ways,” said Coach Miles, who added that he is very happy that Tyreim is a sophomore and will have two more seasons to grow in the singlewing system. Laquan Hairston of Northampton, first-team running back, did almost ev- erything for Northampton, from running the ball to playing solid defense at linebacker to punting and kicking off. Listed at 315 pounds, Hairston was difficult for defenders to bring down and made numerous first downs this season from punt formation. A senior and captain, Hairston will be missed next year by the Jacket coaching staff. Tyler Bell of Nandua, center, was the key to the Nandua offensive success, said Coach Miles. “His attention to detail and work ethic at the center position was outstanding.” A junior, Bell will anchor the Warrior offensive line again next season Bryan Wade of Nandua, a first-team All-District and second-team All-Region selection as guard, worked very (Continued on Next Page) 20 • Eastern Shore Post • November 30, 2012 ~ All-District Football ~ hard all year and gave 110 percent on the field, according to Coach Miles. “He was the pulling guard in Nandua’s single-wing offense. Since Bryan did his job the team was successful. It will be a challenge to find another guard with Bryan’s abilities,” said Miles. Austin Perry-Pruitt, a guard, was one of seven offensive linemen from Nandua to make the All-District team. “Austin’s blocking and trapping ability were keys to the success of the offensive unit this season,” said Coach Miles, who added, “He will be missed next year.” Zach Travis of Nandua, a senior tackle, is one of five players graduating from the Warrior offensive line this year. “Zach’s ability to pull and lead block gave the Warrior running backs the holes to lead the district in rushing this season,” said Coach Miles. Malachi Wise of Nandua, a junior tackle, was a pivotal player in the Warrior rushing game, according to Coach Miles. “Malachi showed much improvement each week of the season and with a solid off-season in the weight room, he will be a force to be reckoned with on the Warrior offensive line next year,” said Coach Miles. Will Grier of Nandua, a first-team senior end and punter, stayed on the field the entire game, playing offense, defense and special teams. “Will’s two receptions in the playoff game gave the offense momentum,” said Coach Miles, who also cited Grier’s blocking skills. As a punter, Grier averaged 48 yards a punt. Mike Wang of Nandua, a senior end, was a team player and showed much improvement as the season progressed, according to Coach Miles. “Playing the strong end position on the dominant Warrior offensive line, Mike spent more time blocking than catching passes in the Warriors’ run-based offense, but was a fine target when needed,” the coach noted. David Wright of Nandua, a firstteam All-District selection as both a placekicker and defensive back, and a first-team All-Region pick as a placekicker, was “automatic,” according to Coach Miles, making 33 of 34 PATs and six of seven field goals, including a school record 41-yarder. As a defensive back, Wright, a junior, recorded 37 tackles, three fumble recoveries, a sack and a punt return for a touchdown. David Strautz of Nandua, a firstteam defensive end, was a “tenacious hitter with a desire to find the football as well as a very aggressive and quick player,” according to Coach Miles, who said Strautz finished the season with 46 tackles, two fumble recoveries, one blocked punt and two sacks. Chris Burton of Arcadia was named first-team defensive end for the second consecutive year. “Chris’ speed helped control anything on the outside run and he was constantly in the backfield disrupting the opposing team’s offense,” said Coach Nock. A senior, Chris recorded 22 tackles in four district games. Osie Warren of Nandua, a senior defensive lineman, was an aggressive player who could be outweighed by his opponent by 50 or more pounds, according to Coach Miles, but Warren still managed 46 tackles, two fumble recoveries and four sacks for the year. Jacob Wells of Northampton, a 6-0, 290 pounder who was selected to the first-team All-District squad as a defensive lineman, was a mainstay on the young Jacket squad. A senior, Wells also anchored the team at center on the offense and will be missed next year. Todd Mackavene of Arcadia, a defensive lineman, is only a sophomore. “Todd is a very strong athlete and can read the gaps and control the line of scrimmage,” noted Nock. “He was a big part of our defensive line in our 5-3 and 4-4 set.” Mackavene recorded 18 tackles in four district games. Alex Pruitt of Nandua, a first-team All-District selection as linebacker and second-team All-Region choice, was a hard-hitting linebacker who led the team in tackles this year with 96 in addition to three sacks. “Alex was moved from defensive end to linebacker in the middle of the year, and this allowed him to excel on defense,” said Coach Miles, who looks forward to Alex leading the Warrior defense next year. Tony Holden, an Arcadia senior, was named to the defensive team as a linebacker. “Tony is a very physical player (Continued From Previous Page) who controlled the middle of line with his punishing tackles and hard blitzes,” said Coach Nock. Holden recorded 30 tackles in district play. Bryant Townsend of Arcadia was named as a defensive back. “Bryant was our anchor in the secondary for pass coverage and run support. He was always assigned the opposing team’s best receiver and was extremely good at stopping the run with his open-field tackles,” said Coach Nock. Townsend, a senior, recorded 12 tackles in four district games. Ryan Outten of Northampton, a first team defensive back, returned two kickoffs for touchdowns this season in addition to playing defensive back and running back for the Jackets. A junior, Outten will be counted on heavily next season. Second Team All-District Football Squad Named Selected to the second-team offense were quarterback Taylor Major of Arcadia; running backs Montrae Armstrong of Nandua, Tony Holden of Arcadia and Ryan Outten of Northampton; offensive linemen Zack Sepelack, Acey Mapp and Cody Anderson of Arcadia and Keshante Williams and Aubrey Rowley of Northampton; wide receivers Josh Sanns of Arcadia and Solomon Owens of Northampton; and kicker Alex Pruitt of Nandua. Selected to the second-team defense were defensive ends Eddie Cazzanz of Northampton and Curtis Ornsby of Nandua; defensive linemen Quantez Baines of Nandua, Andrew Colona and Devin Wilson of Arcadia; linebackers Jha’Tavius Poulson and Devin Splawn of Nandua and Laquan Hairston of Northampton; defensive backs Anthony Smith and Will Grier of Nandua and Keith Savage of Northampton; and punter Devin Wilson of Arcadia. Wright Wright Named All-Region Placekicker David Wright of Nandua was named first-team All-Region placekicker by coaches this week. Wright was the only Shore player selected to the first team. A junior, Wright Wade made 33 of 34 PAT attempts and six of seven field goal attempts, including a school record 41-yarder. Wright also made the first-team AllDistrict squad as a defensive back. Pruitt Making the second-team All-Region team were offensive guard Bryan Wade, linebacker Alex Pruitt and punter Will Grier. Wade was a key lineman in the successful Warrior running attack, Grier Pruitt led the team with 96 tackles, and Grier averaged 48 yards per punt this season. Wade and Grier are seniors. Pruitt, a junior, returns next season.

You can fret over that fact, go out and spend your hard-earned cash or be like me and take this opportunity to relish in December trivia. Yippee! Tomorrow is the 134th anniversary of the day the first telephone was installed in the White House. President Rutherford B. Hayes made the first call to Alexander Graham Bell, who was 13 miles away. Can you believe people back then actually survived without cell phones? President Richard Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency on Dec. 2, 1970. On Dec. 3, 1967, the first heart transplant was performed. I remember that. Let’s give a birthday shout to Keller Mayor Ginny Mueller on Dec. 4. I’m not going to tell her age. Let’s just say she is wiser than I am. On Dec. 5, 1933, prohibition was repealed. The 13th Amendment abolishing slavery was ratified on Dec. 6, 1865. Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941. Beatle John Lennon was murdered on Dec. 8, 1980. “A Charlie Brown Christmas” premiered on Dec 9, 1965. On Dec. 10, 1901, the first Nobel Prizes were awarded. Indiana became the 19th state on Dec. 11, 1816. Legendary singer and actor Frank Sinatra was born on Dec. 12, 1915. Jimi Hendrix recorded “Foxy Lady” on Dec. 13, 1966. Three Post Office Mail Salvation Army Could Use Help Dear Editor: The Accomack and Northampton County Salvation Army chapters are ringing bells at locations throughout the Shore — at Food Lions, Walmart, and Roses, thanks to many volunteers. We really appreciate our volunteers’ time and the generosity of our community. It is these donations to the kettles that are used by the local Salvation Army Chapter. If you would like to ring bells for the Salvation Army in Accomack, call 757-387-2338; in Northampton, call 442-4606. Nationally, the Salvation Army offers help and hope to thousands of people — from the victims of disaster, addiction and homelessness to youth, families and senior citizens. The local chapters work with local churches, Northampton Social Ministries, the Accomack Interfaith Council and community organizations and agencies to identify residents who need short-term assistance. During the Christmas season, both chapters work with many others to open a community Toy Closet. Donations to the Kettle Fund are used to assist individuals from the two counties during times of need with utility, rent, bus tickets, prescriptions and food. To donate to the 2012 Kettle Fund, send a check payable to the SA Kettle Fund to Edward Stetar, Treasurer, P.O. Box 1274, Exmore, VA 23350; or Mary Waldren, Accomack County Salvation Army Unit P.O. Box 342, Onley, VA 23418. Or place it in one of our kettles. Richard Sterrett, Chairman, Northampton Chapter Mary Waldren, Chairman, Accomack Chapter years and one day later, the Jackson Five were on the “Ed Sullivan Show” for the first time. Yeah, I was watching. On Dec. 15, 1891, basketball was invented. The Boston Tea Party was on Dec. 16, 1771. That was exactly a year after Ludwig van Beethoven was born. Brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first airplane flight on Dec. 17, 1903. Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones was born Dec. 18, 1943, which would make him 69 years old. Unbelievable. My husband was born on Dec. 19, 1961. Happy birthday, Lloyd! On the same day in 1843, “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens was published. The Louisiana Purchase was made on Dec. 20, 1803, for $15 million. The crossword puzzle will be 99 years old on Dec. 21, 2012. “ ’Twas the Night Before Christmas” was published on Dec. 23, 1823. Happy birthday, Susan Willett Beasley of Painter, on the same day. No she wasn’t born in the same year. It was a Tax Credit Request for Former Cape Charles School Has Errors Dear Editor: Many people think that the sale of the old school in Cape Charles is a done deal and nothing can stop it. That is far from true. Old School Cape Charles is still working on several fronts to stop the sale of our school to a private developer for $10. We have sent a rebuttal of the application for tax credits to the Department of Historic Resources, listing the ways that the school does not conform to the secretary of the interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. We questioned why the town should be trying to get tax credits for a private developer when it would not do that for itself. The application was sent in the name of Cape Charles and signed by the town manager. Yet, it was not completed by the town staff and is filled with inaccuracies and misrepresentations. We have asked who will be held responsible for the misinformation provided. The application starts out, “Sometime after the 1950s, the former auditorium was modified significantly to create a gym.” Later in the application the dates change to, “Sometime after 1940 (and likely c1980), the auditorium was converted to a gymnasium.” It also states, “The school is situated on a small parcel with a basketball court (c2006) and parking area.” When in fact the school was part of Central Park from the day it was built until the town rezoned on Aug. 23, 2012. The town then granted a conditional-use permit to allow a multi-unit apartment building in a single- few decades later. Smile, Susan. My favorite song, “Silent Night,” was written on Dec. 24, 1818, and my favorite father-in-law will be 85 years old on Dec. 24, 2012. Yippee for J.K. Smith. The birth of Christ is celebrated on Dec. 25. Yes, I think everyone is aware of that. The first Kwanza was celebrated on Dec. 26, 1966. That was years before Angie Crutchley of the Eastern Shore Post was born on that day. Happy Birthday, Angie! “Howdy Doody” made its debut on Dec. 27, 1947. Galileo observed Neptune on Dec. 28, 1612. President James Polk turned on the first gas light at the White House on Dec. 29, 1848. The only total eclipse of a blue moon in a century occurred on Dec. 30, 1982. Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians played “Auld Lang Syne” as a New Year’s Eve song for the first time on Dec. 31, 1929. OK, you’re smarter and ready to shop. Get to it. family residential zone. This spot zoning is under appeal in Northampton County Circuit Court. Page 1 of the application states that the building will contain 4 “low-moderate income housing units.” But the contract with Echelon Resources states, “To the extent permitted by law, Purchaser shall not operate the Project as a low-income housing facility under any state or federal program.” Here government tax credits are sought to construct low-moderate income housing units while explicitly excluding anyone who relies on government assistance. The mayor and Cape Charles Town Council are trying to shut down anyone who questions their actions. But they have made so many bad decisions it is getting more and more difficult for them to quiet those of us who are pointing it out. Deborah Bender, Old School Cape Charles Chincoteague Appreciates Help During Storm Dear Editor: On behalf of the officers and membership of Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company, I would like to thank our many partners who came to our aid during Hurricane Sandy. It was a very scary couple of days for our island, but through our strong partnerships with many of our local, county, and state partners, we were able to continue responding to the emergency needs of our citizens and visitors. While it is difficult to mention every single agency, a few are worthy of special recognition. Much of the success of our storm operations was November 30, 2012 • Eastern Shore Post • 31 due to the outstanding work of A&N Electric Cooperative. With several crews on the road, outages and electrical hazards were quickly addressed. We are thankful for the work of these men and women under difficult and dangerous conditions. We would also like to thank Dr. Glen Wolffe for assisting with the medical needs of our residents, as well as Bill’s Restaurant for staying open to feed our tired and weary troops. The Virginia State Police played an instrumental role in aiding the National Guard troops assigned to the island. During the peak of the storm, fast action by John Henry Howard and Jimmy Adams helped to avert disaster at our Carnival Grounds, where downed trees threatened many of our carnival rides. And last, but not least, we would like to thank the Town of Chincoteague for the work of its staff in Emergency Management, Police, 911 Dispatch, and Public Works departments for working with us to help keep our residents safe and damage to a minimum. Although our island did sustain damage from the storm, we were fortunate that no lives were lost or significant injuries were reported. We are proud of how all of these various entities came together to keep our residents and visitors safe. Again, thank you! Kevin T. Holloway, Secretary, Chincoteague VFC Habitat Grateful for Fishing Tournament Support Dear Editor: The final count on the Hooked on Habitat fishing tournament is in, and community businesses and anglers contributed enough to provide kitchen cabinets for a house for a deserving Shore family. On behalf of the Planning Committee of Harry Mears, Karen Splawn, and HFH Board President Stan Plowden, we would like to thank all the businesses that supported our effort. Our longtime sponsors, Associated Insurance Centers and Little Italy Ristorante, anchor the event and were joined by BB&T and Shore Bank, as well as Hall-Richardson and J.T. Holland’s State Farm Insurance companies. The Island House and Capt Zed’s provided a comfortable weigh-in area and capable weigh-in master. Our appreciation also extends to the Eastern Shore Post, Eastern Shore News and WESR and WCTG radio stations, our sources of news on the Shore. Thank you also to all who participated in the fishing tournament. Jeff Mears and Betty Mariner Co-chairs, E.S. of Virginia Habitat for Humanity Post OpEd Pages Walmart Raises Funds for Variety of Causes Dear Editor: October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Walmart raised funds for the American Cancer Society for its research. Walmart made up the ribbon symbolizing Breast Cancer Awareness to get donations in a beautiful glass jar designed for that purpose. Greeters and cashiers made up lovely pink ribbons. The Walmart greeters asked customers for a donation for these ribbons and our customers were only too happy to help. The ribbons couldn’t be made fast enough because of our customers’ generosity. The greeters and cashiers also helped with bake sales. Store Manager Marty Reighard oversaw the effort and was happy to announce that Walmart had raised $1,400 for the American Cancer Society. Also, $400 in pet food was raised for the Eastern Shore SPCA shelter by way of a large collection box by Walmart’s front door. The box was decorated with cats and dogs and again, our customers cared and dropped in food and litter. Thank you to our Eastern Shore for its generosity and caring.

But the editor at the Eastern Shore Post says I’m taking this one very well. Yes, I’m talking about my recent race for president of the United States. I want to know what By Snoop happened to all you Eastern Shore voters. Why did you fail to cast your ballots for the Kitty Party in the November General Election? Was it because I’m not a fast-talking politician? Or could it be because I ran a clean campaign? I’m a feline after all. Was I too old? Or was my vice-presidential running mate too young? Did you think we were too beautiful? Perhaps we didn’t get your votes because we are female. Are their some prejudice humans out there? I personally think those other candidates were dogs. But obviously the country is full of … canine lovers. I think there were some fellow workers who were among those. They are always trying to give Coconut and me away. I think our ability to let humans stare at us, pet us and adore us should have put us at the top of the polls. Aren’t those the things that make for good foreign policy? And we’re frugal. We bathe ourselves. You wouldn’t see a member of our party paying $125 for a hammer or $400 for a haircut or buying a golden toilet seat. Yuck, that last one is disgusting. And we don’t beg like dogs do. With all these cat attributes in mind, we have to wonder just what the public wants and how much of an attention span humans have. Life has gone back to normal for most and they are busy buying each other presents and glorifying a strange man in a red suit and his reindeer. We can’t figure them out.
