Circulation 13,000 Free Happy Fourth of July! Four-year-old Darcy Lang, daughter of Lindsay and Jason Lang of Atlantic, gets ready for the July 4th weekend. Photo by Linda Cicoira July 4, 2014 2 • Eastern Shore Post • July 4, 2014 New Superintendents Take Helms of Local Schools ~ In Accomack ~ Story and photo by Linda Cicoira “This is a great step going in the right direction,” Superintendent Dr. Kregg Cuellar told the Accomack School Board Tuesday night regarding updating the grading system for the first time in 23 years. The board had put off making a decision about the proposal until Cuellar could give his opinion. Tuesday was the superintendent’s first day on the job. With a few adjustments to the draft proposed by a committee of administrators, teachers and parents, the board unanimously adopted new regulations. It’s well overdue,” Cuellar continued. “This is the most impactful part of a child’s academic career.” He called on school department heads and other administrators to help tackle some issues. Action included changing the word “will” to “could,” allowing students otherwise exempt from taking exams to take the tests, as some parents are worried they should to better prepare for college. It also set the lowest test score in elementary school at 50. Deciding how grades will be calculated was also among the debates. Cuellar said figuring in what is mastered by students is also important. Speaking just after being sworn in earlier in the day, Cuellar proposed a first-year plan similar to that of his predecessor, Dr. Bruce Benson. Cuellar said he is on a 150-day “listening and learning” phase “surveying the landscape of the community, understanding the rich history and culture of Accomack County, being inside school buildings a lot, being visible in schools, talking to as many people as possible (and) getting to know the staff.” “I don’t anticipate making any major changes in the system at least for Year One,” Cuellar said. After assessing the division, he and the School Board “will engage in conversation on the development of strategic direction, which is generally a five-year plan.” When Benson came to the county several years ago, he said on his 20th day on the job that he was in “listening mode” as he gathered input from stakeholders inside and outside the school system.

Recent additions to the CTG crew include Greg Fentress, co-host of the “Big Breakfast Morning Show.” Fentress’ voice is familiar on the Shore. He did the afternoon show on Q105 in Salisbury for many years, as well as wake-up duties at WOLC in Princess Anne and other radio stints. Also recently added to CTG’s on-air personalities is Gary “G.E.” Edsall — weekdays from 10 am to 3pm; and Benjy “Doc” Holloway, a decades-long staple of Eastern Shore radio, taking requests and keeping the news and information flowing weeknights 7 ’til midnight. In support of the on-air sound, the CTG advertising team is also growing. Atlantic resident Steve Branly is the newest addition. Since late 2012, “The Variety Station” has permeated the Shore’s airwaves with its unique blend of music hits — from 1970s classic rock anthems and ’80s monster ballads and new wave curiosities, to alternative rock ’90s and a mix of today’s eclectic rock-pop hits. Blend in hourly NBC news updates, twice-an-hour Accu-Weather forecasts, and live personalities all day and night and you have CTG. “I want CTG to be just as important and vital to our listeners as their smart phone,” said Greg Bojko, the station’s owner. “I don’t want anyone out of the loop about anything on the Shore. We’re here to entertain and inform, whether a dangerous storm is approaching or there’s a traffic accident blocking Route 13, our listeners will be the first to know. That’s what Live & Local is all about.” Currently, CTG is giving away tickets to this summer’s hottest concerts with the CTG Workforce. A new transmitter installed just prior to launching 96.5 CTG gives the station solid coverage from Virginia’s Eastern Shore, along the coast into lower Delaware and as far North as Cambridge, Md., and Seaford, Del. Coastal residents and tourists, as well as long-time residents, have caught on to the station.

Clemons, who was at the helm for three years, is stepping down to take head up Gloucester Public Schools. Lawrence is a 34-year veteran of Accomack County Schools, where he served as teacher, principal, and high-school coordinator. During the public comment session of last week’s School Board session, parent Cathy Buyrn suggested using consumable books as opposed to hard-covered books. She questioned the wisdom of spending the limited funds that the schools have on disposable materials. “We need to be more responsible with the schools’ money,” Buyrn said. “Go back to books and not the workbooks or worksheets.” School Board member JoAnn Molera spoke of a program called Imagination Library, which provides parents with a book each month for their children. The program was created by Dolly Parton. Parton has made the program available to any community willing to partner with her to support it locally. Information about the program is available at Northampton Free Library in Nassawadox and at http://www.imaginationlibrary.com/ Clemons reported that at the end of the school term, there were 1,698 students in the school system. He also said he was working with the county to obtain use of several county-owned lots adjacent to the high school for a soccer field. Occohannock Elementary School band instructor Brad Ford addressed the board regarding the need to fund repairs for school band instruments. He noted that a number of them date back as far as the 1930s, and while still usable, require maintenance. He asked the board to budget $1,000 for each of the three schools, which have conducted fundraisers to help cover the costs. Oakley agreed with the need and said the board would investigate where the funds might be found when it meets in July. Parents or former students who have unused band instruments they would like to donate to the schools may contact the superintendent’s office at 678-5151. Prior to concluding the session, the board voted to accept a recommendation by Operations Director Chris Truckner regarding replacement of the boiler at the high school. The board awarded a contract with Houghtaling Associates to provide the replacement at a cost of $35,399. Truckner indicated that the boiler will be installed by local contractors.

But as use increases, so does the cost and when it’s all gone, the lust for heroin becomes unbearable. “When you open your eyes, you’ve got to have it,” a 41-year-old recovering addict who lives in Accomack County said this week. “And then, so many hours after that, you have to have it again.” During withdrawal, “your whole body turns into a charley horse” with spasms and cramps, he said. “You throw up … it’s the worst experience. It took me a month to withdraw. I did not sleep for seven straight days. I couldn’t eat for five days. I couldn’t get out of the bed. I laid around the toilet for two days. I wanted death bad.” He quit cold turkey. There was no Suboxone, a detox medicine that is part opioid and similar to codeine and heroin without the intense euphoria. He was just lucky someone cared enough to bring him water. The man agreed to speak to the Eastern Shore Post if his identity was kept secret. He is white, which is typical for a heroin user. He also has a history of abusing prescription painkillers, the most recent of which he was given after tearing a rotator cuff at his construction job. He’d been taking Vicodin for about a year when he got a gig working in a city hours from his Shore home. Unable to return for a doctor’s appointment, I he couldn’t get the prescription refilled. That’s when he was offered the tan powder. He started out snorting it. For the last month of use, he was shooting it into his veins for a faster high. “Heroin is like a downer when you first start using it,” he said. “Then it has a reverse effect. I was paying $50 for 13 bags,” he continued. “We would pay $400 for a log — that’s 10 bundles — which is 130 bags. Other coworkers were fooling with it. They didn’t have injuries. They were just getting high.” Most of the time, he said, he would “take the ride to get it and bring it back to the others and split it up to get the better deal.” After a few months, he got back home. “I had a habit,” he said, explaining that he then had to go to Wilmington, Del., to pick up the drug. Eventually, the habit climbed to a $1,000-a-week addiction. “I spent less time working and more time looking for drugs.” At his worst, he shot up six bags one after the other. Before that, “the amount I was snorting, I could take a whole bundle and snort. Besides my pupils being pins, you’d never know it.” But he shakes his head and wonders if others did know. He said the signs to look for include “nodding out, scratching, weight loss, small pupils (and) a long look on the face. Like a droopy expression.” “I’ve been messing with drugs most of my life,” the addict noted. “I had an abusive stepfather so I stayed away Celebrate Summer… Thursday, July 3rd - 8PM Doo-Wop Night w/ Host DJ: Jim Hayes - Banquet Room - No CoveR Friday, July 4th - 9PM JohNNy Neel & BaND (formerly of Allman Brothers) World-Renowned Rhythm & Blues singer/songwriter will perform classic Allman Brothers hits, Statesborough Blues and other hits from the 60s through today!

It just escalated. A lot of LSD … one minute I’m 16, the next minute I’m 41.” Most of the guys in his group who did harder drugs also grew up in abusive households. “I don’t think we connected those then,” he said, adding that he was physically and mentally abused — and sexually abused when “I was a little boy.” At 16, he was busted in North Carolina for possession of LSD. He got a suspended sentence and claims his mother turned him in for a bogus probation violation so he was sent back to serve jail time. When he got out, he quit school (he was in the 11th grade) and moved to Ocean City, Md., with his brother. At 19, he spent a couple of years in a Maryland facility for possession of cocaine. His father was around then, too. Both his brother and his dad were just out of prison, where they served time for drug offenses. His brother taught him to do construction jobs. “All we pretty much did was work and party. We (the two of them and their coworkers) stayed together like a clan. We’d get in trouble. Get warrants and go somewhere else and work.” Doing drugs “just became a way of life. We did ’em to work longer,” he said. “I’ve worked on construction jobs for 20 plus hours straight. We were just sucked into this world.” How did they survive so long? “At one point when I was clean, I used to box … we always lifted weights. We always ran. We stayed in good shape.” Still he added, “I don’t know how I didn’t die.” His brother passed away after taking too much Xanax, a prescription drug used to treat panic and anxiety. “I think he took so many, he didn’t know how many he took.” A few days earlier he complained about possibly having a heart attack. “I said, ‘Well, you look OK, let’s go to work.” Life always just kept going. “I never really took the time to see what was wrong” about anything, he said. “I was in denial of it.” Now he’s attending two group programs — Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and Celebrate Recovery (CR) — both based on the 12-step program. “I’ve been doing whatever it takes — reading and praying — so this doesn’t happen again. I can’t make any long-term plans. I have to think about each day as it comes and eventually it will become easier … this is the first time I’ve really had enough. Any other time periods that I’ve had clean, I really couldn’t focus on myself … I have to make an effort of who I surround myself with … my friends are all dead or in prison. I have a very supportive family.” Now, “when I wake up, I speak positive instead of negative things. I reject the negative thoughts. It all starts in the head. I’ve learned to stop the negative thinking,” he said. “I’ve read somewhere it takes seven seconds to disregard a thought … otherwise it turns to an obsession and a stronghold … I can see where I was everywhere with my thoughts. I’m thinking calmer. It doesn’t take a pill to do that. You just have to be conscious of it all in your mind and have to learn to deal with it.” The 2014 Media Directory of the Virginia Press Association reports: Eastern Shore Post Circulation: 13,000 Eastern Shore News Circulation: 5,061 That means one publication of your ad gets more than 2½ times the exposure in the Post than it does in the News.

The addict compared cocaine and heroin. “I never had any cocaine withdrawals. With crack, it was all a mind thing. Not physical at all … you don’t think about the consequences.” He also reflected about the beginning. “Smoking weed. It made us all stupid. Where did it get you? Absolutely nowhere. It’s sad because all the propaganda is pointing in that direction. All the videos and stuff making it seem great. It’s just crazy man.” What does he want to tell people who are thinking of using heroin? “It would be the biggest mistake of their life; the same with cocaine. There’s nothing that comes from any of that. Nothing good. The pleasure is only temporary. The damage can sometimes be a lifetime.” He also has lots of remorse. “I’d like to apologize to my family. I’m sorry for the ones I’ve hurt. I love ’em … I put a strain on a lot of people. I wasn’t very pleasant to be around. I knew I was loved but I couldn’t feel it. I was always numb to everything. I always felt like an outsider. Like I was living someone else’s life.” The man is hesitant about actually working the program steps. “I do better by myself. I don’t have the distractions. I’m not strong enough to have to deal with the way other people are thinking … I’ve put enough in my system I’m done.” Still, the program is seeping in. How does he plan to stay clean? “One day at a time,” he said. 6 • Eastern Shore Post • July 4, 2014 Court Postings By Linda Cicoira Accomack Circuit Court Being married to two women at the same time got a Pennsylvania man with connections to the Eastern Shore a felony conviction and a five-year suspended sentence last week in Accomack Circuit Court. Chris Allen Fritz, 54, of both Landmark Court in Chambersburg, Pa., and Bluebill Drive in Horntown, pleaded guilty to the Class 4 felony charge of bigamy. He told officers that he thought his first wife had divorced him when he married the second in July 2012 at Assateague Beach. Records show he married Candi Rahn in 2012 when he was already married to Hazel May Farrow. Both women live in Pennsylvania. In another case, Brian Thomas Taylor, 41, of Atlantic Road in Atlantic pleaded guilty to embezzling nearly $1,300 between June 5 and July 19, 2013, from Auto Zone in Onley, where he worked. A presentence report was ordered. He was released on existing bond. Richard Christian, 62, of Hall Street in Onancock was sentenced for possessing cocaine on June 6, 2013, to five years in prison, with all but two years suspended. He was remanded to jail.

Her plea for two proceedings that would separate the victims was denied Monday in Northampton Circuit Court. Aerial Darden is accused of committing the acts while on a Franklin school bus that was leaving a game at Northampton High School in Eastville on Aug. 26, 2013. “The offenses are based on the same act or scheme of acts,” Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Beverly Leatherbury successfully argued. She said “the ends of justice do not require separate trials.” The defense lawyer said the “two events are totally separate” and trying them together would allow “prejudice to my client.” He said the issue involves the “constitutional rights of a fair trial … (the jury) is going to take the events of one witness against the other. The threat is too great to be tried together.” Darden is asking for a trial by jury, which means she plans to plead not guilty. Judge W. Revell Lewis III defended his decision, commenting that with the “timeframe of 10 minutes, I think there was one” incident. “They will be tried jointly.” Darden will be tried as an adult. According to court documents, some of the team members were allegedly held down while a pillow was put over their mouths and they were molested. In written admissions, three girls said they did the acts to others and each other. Two coaches were on the bus but were unaware that the alleged crimes were taking place. Darden is accused of being the ringleader. Other cases handled in Northampton Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court are not public. Six of the charges against Darden are felonies and include two counts of object sexual penetration, animate or inanimate penetration by force, aggravated sexual battery of a girl between 13 and 15 years old, carnal knowledge of a girl who was “three years or more her junior” and sexual abuse of a child between 13 an 15 years old by a person in a mob. Darden also was indicted on misdemeanor counts of sexual abuse, assault and battery, and assault and battery by a person in a mob. Darden allegedly molested six girls. Someone on the bus later told a school worker about the alleged incidents because she felt bad, the record states. In another case, Charles Alan Lewis Sr., 45, of Exmore pleaded guilty to driving after having been declared an habitual offender. He was sentenced to five years in prison, with four years suspended. Lewis got 12 months for DUI and was fined $2,500. His driver’s license was suspended for 12 months. He also was convicted of misdemeanor eluding and was sentenced to six months in jail. All time was suspended on the condition that he be on good behavior for 15 years. ………………………… Accomack District Court A Horntown man was arrested last weekend and charged with kidnapping and two counts of rape, according to records filed in Accomack General District Court. Curtis John Lambert, 40, of Bay Breeze is accused of having sexual intercourse with a woman against her will and abduction in the second degree between June 16 and 17. Lambert also is accused of misdemeanor assault and battery in connection with the incident. He was arrested June 27 and is being held in Accomack Jail without bail. Investigator Patrick Coulter of Accomack County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) is handling the case. An August preliminary hearing is scheduled. In another case, Joel Nathaniel Miller, 23, of Bethel Church Road in Bloxom was charged with distributing between a half-ounce and five pounds of marijuana. Bail was set at $5,000. Deputy H.F. Little of ACSO investigated. Jordan Lewis Sterling, 30, of Decormis Street in Accomac was convicted Monday of misdemeanor possession with intent to sell less than a halfounce of marijuana on March 5. He initially was charged with felony possession with intent to distribute between a half-ounce and five pounds of marijuana. Sterling was sentenced to 12 months in jail, with 10 months and 20 days suspended. His driver’s license was suspended for six months. In addition, a charge of burglary that allegedly occurred on May 5 was certified to the Grand Jury. July 4, 2014 • Eastern Shore Post • 7 Researcher Works To Uncover Origins of Wild Chincoteague Ponies By Linda Cicoira It is the first phase of a plan to uncover the lost Spanish ship La Galga, which wrecked during a hurricane in 1750, leaving small horses on Assateague Island. Researcher John Amrhein Jr., author of the book, “The Hidden Galleon,” says those equines are the ancestors of the current herd of famous wild Chincoteague ponies. He contends the herd could not be descendants of horses here two centuries earlier. Amrhein says Marguerite Henry, who made the ponies famous in her book “Misty of Chincoteague,” claimed the horses were around when the English arrived and that the shipwreck occurred in the 16th century. “This was not true,” said Amrhein. “The truth was that while people remembered the Spanish shipwreck, some had forgotten which century it happened. Besides, the people who arrived in the 1600s would have no knowledge of what happened in the 1500s.” While uncovering the ship and determining the lineage of the ponies are two different subjects, they originate from the same place and could be very important to the economy of the area, including the value of filly or colt, Amrhein says. This week, he and his team of surveyors performed a magnetic survey that will allow identification of the wreckage site with a global positioning system (GPS). The location is two miles south of the Maryland/Virginia border and can be accessed by a road not usually open to visitors at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. More than five years after applying for an archeological permit from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (F&W) to make this initial survey, Amrhein recently was told the task could be done with a more easily obtainable specialuse permit available at the refuge. So after waiting all that time to do a non-disturbing probe, he got permission and started the job Tuesday. “I’ve probably got $7,000 in this for one day of work,” Amrhein notes. “It adds up.” “I hadn’t been there in 30 years,” he says of the site. “We’ve got a much clearer picture. I saw … where I put the old creek blind was in error,” so the site was moved slightly. “When we did not find any scatter … we concluded they (those who he hopes eventually come to dig up the ship) would find it intact.” Amrhein believes the boat is possibly just below water level and wood could be hit with a five-foot pole. “If it all was intact, then the bottom of the boat would be 16 feet down,” he figures. The second phase of Amrhein’s mission is to bring a team of about 15 to get the boat out, putting in a steel coffer and pumping out the water and dirt. That’s when the archeological permit would be necessary. Amrhein’s vision includes a major motion picture and a multi-milliondollar museum built to hold the ship. “It could be a very big thing for Chincoteague,” he says. “For me, it’s just the end of journey. “I’m just speculating, but ultimately they (Chincoteague Fire Company) could get more money for the ponies.” According to an account written by Amrhein, “The first record that sug- gested that the horses came from a shipwreck was published in Scribner’s Monthly in April 1877. In 1884, ‘Wallace’s Monthly’ provided a detailed account of the oral tradition. It described a Spanish shipwreck lost on Assateague Beach and that the ‘the original Spanish horses were small.’ Published accounts of the Spanish shipwreck legend then became routine.” “In 1991, the National Park Service commissioned a genetic study of feral horses along the East Coast,” he writes. “The scientists reported that the Assateague horses had strong ties to the Paso Fino breed … brought to South America in the 16th century by the Spanish.” “We now know there was a Spanish shipwreck,” writes Amrhein. “We know that legend says the horses came from that shipwreck. ” “Grandpa Beebe said in ‘Misty’ … that it was the Indians who rescued the survivors of the Spanish shipwreck,” Amrhein continues. “Documents in the Spanish archives give credit to the Indians’ assistance to the crew of La Galga.” 8 • Eastern Shore Post • July 4, 2014 Cheriton Addresses Range of Issues Community Notes Chincoteague Island Library is Chincoteague sponsoring a Summer Reading Incentive Program to encourage students to read during the summer.

The cost was $4,200. Wisneski reported that the ongoing issue of a resident with excessive salvage materials on her property is slowly being resolved. He said the owner is in the process of selling and removing the materials to bring the property into compliance with town ordinances. Mayor Joe Habel raised the issue of dealing with a property owner with a dog that barks incessantly. Wisneski noted that the town has ordinances to address the matter, but Town Clerk Stacy Sparrow said she would contact the property owner to try to resolve the problem without having to take it to the next level. Habel reported that the town is in negotiations for property to be used as a Town Hall that also would provide space for the Department of Motor Vehicles Select Office, both of which rent space from Cheriton Fire Department. The town has been investigating options for property that would meet the needs of both groups. Recent water damage to the current office space has accelerated the need for the move.

At the May council session, Board of Mond Supervisors Chairman Larry Le addressed council’s desire for a boundary adjustment and provided a list of recommendations to be addressed prior to a county decision. Habel and council discussed and supported the recommendations and agreed to submit a letter to the county regarding the matter in hopes of an agreeable outcome. A final issue discussed by council was the extension of a rental agreement with the Pacific Atlantic Professional Academy (PAPA) for the maritime training facility adjacent to Cheriton Fire Department. Lee Goldman, director of PAPA, has expressed a desire to expand her training opportunities.

NEVER PAY FOR YOUR LOCAL NEWS July 4, 2014 • Eastern Shore Post • 9 Planners Focus on Housing By Ron West The Northampton Planning Commission focused attention on affordable housing options Tuesday. Elaine Meil, executive director of the Accomack-Northampton Planning District Commission (ANPDC) outlined the efforts of her agency to provide as many housing units as possible for the Shore. ANPDC Housing Development Director David Annis reported that the Hughes Apartment complex near Eastville is undergoing extensive renovations. Newly appointed Commissioner Dr. Mark Freeze asked about the income limitations for applicants for the apartments. Annis responded that a family of four qualifies with an annual income of $26,350. Asked about the number of rental units in the county, long-range planner Peter Stith responded that more than 400 are designated for lower income, agricultural, and disabled residents. Meil reported that data on the number of homes without indoor plumbing are suspect and a survey is going to be conducted in an attempt to get a true picture of the problem. The number of housing units in the county without in- door plumbing has ranged from as low as 100 to as high as 400. Commissioner Mike Ward asked if there are programs encouraging developers to provide affordable housing, such as apartments. Meil responded that it is difficult to find parcels of sufficient size with access to public water and sewage or space for largescale drainfields. The cost associated with building such a facility makes it difficult for the developer to keep the monthly rental fees affordable. Following a review of the data provided on housing, the commissioners reviewed and edited the Environmental and Community Facilities and Services portions of the Comprehensive Plan. The issue of retaining or removing the regulations pertaining to the Chesapeake Bay Act to the seaside proved to be a sticking point. Most of the county supervisors have questioned the need for the act to protect the seaside, given that most of the area is already protected by a number of conservation plans and property setbacks. With no consensus by the commissioners, it was agreed to table the discussion until the next meeting on July 16.

PUE-2014-00048 On June 3, 2014, Pepco Holdings, Inc. (“PHI”), Delmarva Power & Light Company (“Delmarva”), Potomac Electric Power Company (“Pepco”), Conectiv LLC, Exelon Corporation (“Exelon”), and Exelon Energy Delivery Company LLC (collectively, the “Petitioners”) filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) a Joint Petition seeking approval to transfer control of Delmarva and Pepco to Exelon. The Petitioners seek approval pursuant to the Utility Transfers Act of the Code of Virginia, which provides, in part, that “[n]o person … shall, directly or indirectly, acquire or dispose of control of … [a] public utility within the meaning of this chapter, or all of the assets thereof, without the prior approval of the Commission.” The Joint Petition states that Pepco and Delmarva are considered public utilities under the Utility Transfers Act. Pepco and Delmarva are subsidiaries of PHI that transferred their former Virginia electric service territories in 1985 and 2007, respectively. Although Pepco and Delmarva no longer provide electric service to any retail customers in Virginia, these two companies own certain transmission and subtransmission facilities located in their former Virginia service territories. On April 29, 2014, PHI and Exelon entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Agreement”). Under the terms of the Agreement, PHI will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon (“Proposed Transaction”). Thus, as proposed, Exelon would become the ultimate corporate parent of PHI and all of its subsidiaries, including Delmarva and Pepco. The Joint Petition states that the Proposed Transaction, if approved, will not have a significant impact on Virginia because Delmarva and Pepco serve no retail customers in Virginia, provide no services pursuant to a Virginia tariff, and own a limited number of facilities in Virginia. The Petitioners assert that the Proposed Transaction would have no adverse impact on the adequacy or reliability of the Virginia transmission and subtransmission facilities owned by Pepco and Delmarva, or on the Commission’s jurisdiction. The Petitioners further state that Delmarva and Pepco do not have any employees in Virginia. The Commission issued an Order for Notice and Comment that, among other things, directed the Petitioners to provide notice to the public and provided interested persons an opportunity to comment and/or request a hearing on the Joint Petition.

This Year’s Pony Swim Slated for Last Week of This Month For nearly nine decades, Chinco teague Volunteer Fire Company has raised funds by rounding up its herd of Chincoteague ponies living on As sateague Island, swimming them across Assateague Channel to Chin coteague Island, and selling the foals at auction. The historic swim takes place on the last Wednesday in July, with the auc tion of foals on the last Thursday in July. Aside from raising funds to pur chase much needed firefighting equip ment, the auction serves to maintain the herd of adult ponies at 150, which is the number permitted to graze by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the governing agency of Chincoteague Na tional Wildlife Refuge, located on As sateague Island. The festivities begin with a carni val, which opened on June 27. Car nival dates are July 4 (fireworks at 10 p.m.), 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, and 26 and July 28 through Aug. 2. Attrac tions are open each night from 7 to 11 p.m. The 2014 Pony Swim will take place at the earliest morning “slack tide” on July 30 and the auction of foals will begin at 8 a.m. the following day at the carnival grounds on Main Street, Chincoteague. The adult ponies will return to As sateague Island on the morning of Aug. 1. A more precise time for the swims on Wednesday and Friday will be de termined by Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company a few days prior to the event. A visit to the chamber website at www.chincoteaguechamber.com will provide more information on the event and updated swim times, or you may call the chamber at 336-6161. Registration Open for Master Naturalist Training Registration is underway for the Eastern Shore Master Naturalists ba sic training course which will be held on Thursdays, Sept. 11 through Nov. 13, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Historic Onancock School.

The commission voted to reduce crab pot bushel and vessel limits by 10 percent for the period from July 5, 2014, to July 4, 2015; and closed the crab dredge fishery season for the seventh year in a row. These new management measures were taken as a result of the 2014 Annual Winter Dredge Survey which indicated female blue crabs dropped below the safe level of 70 million and are in a depleted state. Juvenile crab numbers increased and have remained at a safe level for the sixth consecutive year. The juveniles must be conserved, however, in order to increase their chances of reproducing in even larger numbers next year. “These decisions, while never easy, are absolutely necessary,” said VMRC Commissioner John M.R. Bull. “The measures … complement similar regu- Licensed crabbers will have the following bushel limits beginning July 5: lations adopted by our partners in this effort, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Potomac River Fisheries Commission.

W ith daytime rising every day, it becomes even more important that people follow recommendations to protect themselves from the extreme heat. According to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, in 2013 there were five heat-related deaths in Virginia; in 2012 there were 21. One of the most important precautions people should take is to schedule or reschedule activities and outdoor work during the coolest parts of the day. In the summer, sunlight exposure is greatest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Here are additional steps you can take to protect yourself against heatrelated illnesses: •Keep cool in an air-conditioned area. Take a cool shower or a bath. Consider a trip to the mall or a local library or visit a friend with air conditioning. Spending at least two hours per day in air conditioning significantly reduces the risk of heat-related illnesses. When temperatures reach the upper 90s or above, a fan may not prevent heat-related illness. •Drink plenty of fluids (two to four glasses of cool fluids each hour). To replace salt and minerals lost from sweating, drink fruit juice or a sports beverage during exercise or when you have to work outside. However, talk to your doctor first if you’re on a fluid-restricted diet or medications, or on a low-salt diet. •Avoid sunburn and wear light clothing. Sunburn limits your body’s ability to keep itself cool and causes loss of body fluids. Use sunscreen with a high SPF. Lighter-weight clothing that is loose fitting and light colored is more comfortable during extreme temperatures. Use a hat to keep your head cool. •Give your body a break as the heat wave can be stressful on your body. Limit physical activity until your body adjusts to the heat. •Never leave children or pets in cars. Temperatures inside a car can reach more than 150 degrees quickly, resulting in heat stroke and death. •Use the “buddy system” if you’re working outside, where could become confused or could lose consciousness if you suffer a heat-related illness. Therefore, make sure someone else knows of your plans. For more information about heatrelated illnesses, visit the Virginia Department of Health’s website at www.vdh.virginia.gov Riverside Diabetes Educator Leads Food Lion Shopping Trip Cruising down the aisles of a grocery store, especially when hungry, can fuel the temptation to buy everything that’s chocolate-covered, frozen or freshly baked. For the majority of people, that’s OK in moderation. But for a person with diabetes, giving in to temptation can have serious consequences. On June 23, a handful of people who have diabetes or cook for someone with diabetes attended an in-store education class. Riverside Len J.

Beverly Norris, a Riverside registered nurse, certified diabetic educator and certified health coach, led patients through each aisle in the stores to teach them about making better food choices and reading labels to better live with diabetes. Norris calls the event a “doctor favorite” because physicians find that their patients learn real-life tactics for improving their nutrition and thereby improving their control of their disease. An estimated 30 million Americans, nearly 10 percent of the population, live with diabetes, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Diabetes Statistics Report. It’s not Thanksgiving or Christmas that will do a diabetic in, Norris said. It’s the routine choices made the other 363 days of the year. The family dinners. The birthday parties.

Norris advises diabetics: •To rely on nutrition labels, not the front of the box, for nutrition information because labels detail calories, saturated fats, trans fats and carbohydrates; •That carbohydrates are complex sugars and, given that diabetics need to control their blood sugar, understanding how many to eat each day is important. Women shouldn’t eat more than 45 carbohydrates per meal, and men, no more than 60. A 15-carb snack and a 30-carb snack each day can also be part of a healthy diet. •To eat as many vegetables as possible, within reason. Beans, peas, corn and potatoes need to be eaten in moderation given their high starch and carbohydrate content. Choose fresh and frozen vegetables over canned vegetables. •To be cautious with fruits which, though healthy, contain high carbohydrate levels. Eat fruits with other foods, like an apple with a peanut butter, to make the snack or meal more well rounded. •To taste the rainbow; the more Visit the Eastern Shore Post on Facebook and “Like” us. color on a plate, the better.

Club professionals aren’t always the best player at their own course. For one thing, they don’t play as much as the public thinks, busy as they are with running the pro shop. In addition, many club pros take that route because they enjoy teaching the game over competing on the course. But Dennis Winters, now the pro at Easter Shore Yacht & Country Club for three months, has an impressive playing résumé that includes wins at major events right up to being an alternate for the U.S. Senior Open to be played beginning July 10 at Oak Tree National in Edmond, Okla. On June 19, Winters was one of 100 golfers competing for two spots in the Open at a qualifier held at Back Creek Country Club in Middletown, Del. Winters’ round of 70 tied with three others for the top spot, and he became the second alternate in a playoff. “They tell me my chances of getting in are pretty good because the field at my qualifying round was one of the largest in the country among the 34 sites across the country. I check the email every day for any news,” said Winters, now 54 and a well-known figure on the Delmarva Peninsula, having served as the club pro at Nassawango in Snow Hill, Md., the Lighthouse Sound in Ocean City, Md., and River Run Golf Club in Ocean City. Winters grew up in an Air Force family that moved frequently around the country. But he settled on the East Coast and played golf collegially at the University of Maryland. That was before well-known PGA pro Fred Funk was the team’s coach, but Winters knows Funk well and also enjoys close friendships with PGA player Phil Blackmar and tour caddie Mike Cowan, better known as Fluff, once the caddie for Tiger Woods. Winters played briefly on the Nike Tour, now the Web.com Tour, the deWinters velopmental stage for the U.S.-based PGA tour. Winters even played one PGA tour event at the Anheiser-Busch Classic in Williamsburg, Va. He also played the South African and South American tours. In 2000, he won the Maryland Open, open to both amateur and professional golfers, at the Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase. Prior to winning the event, Winters had finished runner-up in four of the five previous years. Funk is a two-time winner of the event. His biggest winning purse of $50,000 came in 1999 when he won the Toyota Invitational, a Mid-Atlantic USGA Sectional event held at Four Streams Golf Club in Beallsville, Md. Seven years earlier, then an assistant pro at Eisenhower Golf Course, he shot a final round 65 to win a MidAtlantic PGA Pro-Am Tournament at Chestnut Ridge Country Club in Lutherville, Md. Winters also won the Virginia Beach Open over a 208-man field in 1992 by shooting a 65-69 at the Honeybee Golf Course. He also won the pro-am at Stumpy Lake that same weekend. He was the runner-up at the Virginia Beach Open both the year prior and after his victory. Winters counts other Mid-Atlantic Sectional events among his championships and also owns the course record at River Run Golf Course in Ocean City with a 63. Raising a family and needing a steady income steered Winters to the life of a club pro. He and his wife have three children, all currently enrolled in college. Their twin daughters, Anne and Catherine, attend the College of Charleston. A younger son, Daniel, is at Coastal Carolina in Conway, S.C. He is the only serious golfer in the family. For the time being, Winters is renting a place outside of Onancock while his wife remains at their home in Ocean City, Md., where she works for the Outback Restaurant Corporation. Winters’ theory on golf lessons is “to teach what the good players do. Adam Scott and Jim Furyk’s swings are nothing alike, but they both do some of the same things that produce good results. That’s what I try to teach … to have a golfer learn a consistent swing that works for him or her.” Winters is on the advisory staff with Taylor Made and held a Demo Day at the club recently for the golf manufacturer that is credited with introducing the metal driver in 1979 which now dominates the market. “Their newest driver, the SLDR, really produces incredible results. Golfers were finding they drove the ball 15 to 20 yards further using the SLDR over their own driver,” said Winters. Winters said the biggest difference in the game since he started playing has been the improved equipment. “It’s like, ‘Do you want to use a homing pigeon or high-grade technology?’ If you are not using modern equipment, you are at a disadvantage playing with most golfers,” said Winters. He is excited about the opportunity at ESY&CC. “The course is in the best condition it has been in years,” he said. “Andrew Howard, our greens superintendent, has done a great job of getting the course in a superb condition. Golfers who haven’t played here for a while are always telling me how surprised they are to find the course in such good shape,” said Winters. The ESY&CC course, designed by Ed Ault, opened in 1960 and marked its 50th anniversary a few years ago. The par 72 layout has bent grass greens and Bermuda fairways and poses a challenge to golfers with its narrow fairways and water on numerous holes. The course record is a 63 shot by Jeff Shield. Winters’ best round at ESY&CC thus far is a 67. Winters, who knows most of the best area golfers after being on the Delmarva Peninsula for decades, said, “There are some very good golfers in the area,” pausing in mid-interview to set up a foursome the following day with Terry White and two others. “We want golfers to come see the course. I think they will be pleased with the condition,” said Winters, who served as host to the H.B. Rew Eastern Shore Foundation Golf Tournament recently. Having played many of the top courses worldwide, Winters counts Turnberry in Scotland, which has often hosted the British Open, as his favorite. He has had two invitations each to play Pine Valley, rated by Golf Magazine as the top course in the world, and Augusta, home to the Masters. “I had events each time that conflicted with playing there, but I will get there one day,” said Winters, who has made a living at a game he loves to play. 26 • Eastern Shore Post • July 4, 2014 Paul Nolz Soccer Camp Aug. 4-8 Paul Nolz, head soccer coach at Nandua High School, will be hosting his 28th annual soccer camp at the Onancock School, Aug. 4-8.

Cobia Fishing Still Hot; Flounder Providing Seaside Action Steve’s Bait and Tackle Photo Rich Hansen landed this 24-inch, 4.12-pound flounder fishing near the Four Mouths on Chincoteague. Arthur will likely impact fishing this weekend and for a few days beyond, but until then, cobia action was dominating the lower bay fishing, with both chummers and sight casters enjoying good activity with fish ranging from 30 to 70 pounds in recent weeks. The Latimer Shoals near buoys 13 and 16 has been a hot spot. Fresh cut bait such s bunker and live bait are working for chummers. Flounder action continues to pick up at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel with the third and fourth islands producing well. Red drum are still being caught along Fisherman’s Island for boats bottom fishing. Spadefish are hanging around structures, although most are small, according to reports. On the seaside, flounder fishing has been holding up well in Wacha preague and Quinby. The incoming tide has produced the best bite, jigging or drifting a flounder rig tipped with a Gulp and a minnow. Sand mullet are stacked around the inlets, hitting on bloodworms, shrimp and fish bites. On Chincoteague, flounder are being caught in the sound, channels, and surf. Offshore fishing had good reports this week for spadefish, trigger fish, flounder, mahi, and tuna. Spot, kingfish, bluefish and sharks were being caught in the surf off Assateague. From the Seahawk Sports Center in Pocomoke, the reports are that cobia are being caught from the mouth of the bay to Pocomoke Sound. There are sea bass off Chincoteague and reds from the surf to the shallows. Offshore, shark fishermen are doing well. The yellowfin tuna bite has slowed, but a few bigeye tuna weighing in at over 100 pounds are saving the day for a few lucky boats. Scattered gaffer mahi are offering some variety.

Yes, that old adage, “You catch more flies with honey than vinegar,” is definitely true. So recently, I decided to see how many people would return my smile. The results were phenomenal. The grin is more contagious than a yawn and so much better. I was at a local grocery store, going up and down the aisles getting supplies and feeling happy and people were saying hello and beaming back. It was such a simple experiment. It didn’t cost a dime and everyone I saw participated. It is hard to believe that in some cultures smiling is perceived in a negative way as a sign of shallowness or dishonesty. According to an online encyclopedia, “Many people in the former Soviet Union area consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even suspicious behavior.” Then there is the canine world where showing teeth is most often a threat or warning. In chimpanzees it can be a sign of fear. In humans, there are two basic types of smiles. The natural smile was named after French neurologist Guillaume Duchenne, who identified them. “It’s not something you can fake,” according to his theory. “When you’re forced to smile for photos, your eyes don’t smile. It’s only when you truly feel like smiling, that you flash a Duchenne. The eyes are essential for a genuine, warm smile.” His smile involves muscles that raise the corners of the mouth and the cheeks and forms crow’s feet around the eyes. Post Office Mail Outgoing Cape Charles Mayor Recalls Town Memories Dear Editor: Fifteen years ago, we took a drive across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. We were not necessarily looking for change, but rather to take a drive and visit Cape Charles. We had read that it was a quiet town on the water and homes were practically being given away. At the time, we had two daughters in college and the youngest was finishing his senior year of high school. I think we knew it when we were half-way across the bridge. It felt calm and beautiful. Driving through town was a thrill in itself. People everywhere would tip their hats as we drove by. I think that change in town started when Councilman Larry Veber made a stink about investing in our assets. He led the charge to spend money on our beach. We took from Peter to pay Paul and never looked back. Every time I visit the beach, I think of Larry. The next big step was when a handful of citizens (some who didn’t even live here full-time) decided they wanted to have a park. They threw a party and called it the Renovator’s Ball. You had to wear your best renovator’s clothes. Steve Hairfield wore a toilet seat around his neck and I was Queen of the Landfill with a buzzard on my shoulder! What fun that was and they raised so much money. Year after year, the So why am I always putting face cream on my crow’s feet? From now on this is a badge of honor! I dare the rest of you to work those muscles and make those wrinkles. I read that some researchers believe genuine smiles “are clear windows into a person’s core disposition.” Two Berkeley psychologists analyzed college yearbook photos and found those who displayed “true Duchenne-worthy expressions of positive emotion in their 21-year-old photo had greater levels of general wellbeing and marital satisfaction at age 52.” Whatever! “People photograph each other with casual ease and remarkable frequency, usually unaware that each snapshot may capture as much about the future as it does the passing emotions of the moment,” the researchers wrote in a 2001 issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. There was another study that involved professional baseball players whose photos were in a 1952 publication. The smiles there were rated and ball was held and at some point the group asked the town to match what it had collected. Take a look at the park today and you can thank that small group of people followed by a devoted small town’s citizens to get it done! So Cape Charles now had a great public beach and a stellar park. What would be next? We didn’t have to go looking because it came to us. We were directed by the federal government to build a new wastewater treatment plant. We now have a stateof-the art treatment plant which was funded largely by grants. The cost was $19.5 million and $14 million was received in grant funding, which amounted to 72 percent. The remainder was financed by the town at 0 percent. You can’t do any better than that! Next came the redevelopment of Cape Charles Town Harbor. Two breakwater sections were built in 2010, followed by construction of the floating slips in 2011 and the harbor bath house in 2012. The town also leased a portion of the harbor property for a restaurant and The Shanty opened in 2012. The town also worked with representatives from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (VDHCD), the Accomack-Northampton Planning District Commission, and the Eastern Shore of Virginia Broadband Authority to bring a fiber optic network to the Eastern Shore, from Wallops Island to Virginia Beach. This work was completed with a Community Improvement Grant from the VDHCD. The work on the broadband connection was completed in 2012. As part of this grant, the town acquired 20 computers and computer stations for a computer lab at Cape Charles Memorial Library. each player’s age at death was determined. Those scientists “found that smile intensity could explain 35 percent of the variability in survival … in any given year, players with Duchenne smiles in their yearbook photo were only half as likely to die.” That means if you give more fullforce smiles, you will live longer! My former customers put lots of smiles on my face recently. June 23 marked the 25th anniversary of the video store I co-owned in the Shenandoah Valley. When I made the announcement on Facebook, I heard from dozens of people, many of whom I watched grow up. Another way to make me smile is to vote for my photo in the Southern Living “Share Your South Photo Contest.” At this writing, I am ranking fourth with a picture of a hummingbird. I sure would like to win. Here’s the link www.southernliving.com/travel/share -your-south-photo-contest Vote for this Eastern Shore woman who smiles at you in the grocery store. None of the above was here in 2000 and so I call Cape Charles the little engine that could. I leave office with the town in very secure hands of people always optimistic about her future and vision. No matter who you are or where you live, the harbor is yours to walk about or just sit and smell the salt air. The library and museum are yours to read or study our history. The beach and the park are yours to relax and enjoy family time. And all are within walking distance of each other. We are truly a unique town that has so much to offer our citizens and visitors. I began my public service career in 2002 on Town Council and was elected Mayor in 2006. Thank you for a wonderful 12 years! I look forward to seeing everyone in my retirement years! Dora Sullivan, Cape Charles Shore License Plate Will Now Support Local Businesses Dear Editor: In 1997, the Eastern Shore of Virginia license plate was an ESVA Chamber of Commerce initiative to promote our area. The chamber board and one of its members, Mr. David Turner, designed the plate, submitted it through the approval process with the Department of Motor Vehicles and facilitated the legislative initiative necessary to get the plate made and into circulation. The ESVA license plate was to increase visibility for our region and promote business in the area. After the first few years, the price of the plate was to July 4, 2014 • Eastern Shore Post • 39 increase from $10 to $25 and the funds were to support chamber business activities on the Shore. This increase never happened. While the ESVA License Plate was only an additional $10, other revenuesharing plates throughout the commonwealth were $25. The $10/plate goes into the DMV funds in Richmond and nothing was coming back to the Shore. Now the cost of this plate has been brought in line with the others ($25) and the additional $15/plate will come back to the Shore through the nonprofit ESVA Chamber Foundation, a 501(c) 3 whose mission is to educate, support, and promote businesses on the Eastern Shore. The emphasis of this foundation is that this funding will be coming back to the Shore, whereas now, none of it comes to the Shore. Funds will be used for business seminars and used to support businesses, especially for development and growth. Some specific activities and undertakings of the foundation, include: (1) financing, sponsoring, publishing, promoting and distributing research on issues important to the businesses of the Eastern Shore; (2) providing educational forums that impact businesses of the Eastern Shore; (3) sponsoring activities and research projects to promote the economy of the Eastern Shore; and (4) awarding scholarships to current and future business leaders to further their education for business, economic, workplace and other purposes. The end result is that every dollar goes to help the businesses of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The impact of this business support will be a stimulus for our rural economy. Owning an ESVA license plate is voluntary and shows our pride for our special community. Now proudly displaying our unique plate displays that we are showing grassroots support for our business community. What better way to “Shop Local”?! Jean Hungiville, Executive Director ESVA Chamber of Commerce Habitat Event Owes Its Success to Many Dear Editor: On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Eastern Shore Habitat for Humanity Affiliate, I would like to take this opportunity to say “Thank You” to the citizens of the Eastern Shore who helped make our 25th Anniversary Gala such a success. Sycamore Bend offered a great venue for the event. Mallards at the Wharf and Heavenly Creations provided great food, and wine was provided by Chatham Vineyards. Countryside Auctions sold the bid items donated by 31 artisans and merchants of the Eastern Shore. The Franktown United Methodist Singers provided inspirational music and Basket and Bows Floral Design was the source of beautiful table decorations. The Boards of Supervisors of Accomack and Northampton counties declared June as Habitat Month and Del. Bob Bloxom had a joint Resolution approved by the legislature in Richmond. The close to $26,000 raised will be used to complete our 41st house and begin our 42nd home for worthy homeowners. Finally, thanks to the approximately 140 persons who brought tickets and attended the event. G.

Eastern Shore Most Assuredly Has Its Own ‘Rising Star’ Dear Editor: I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate the Eastern Shore’s own talented singer, Deedra Ervin. This local native stood honor last Sunday in her dress uniform and placed the Eastern Shore on the maps during an episode of ABC’s “Rising Star.” Deedra sang proudly with her heart and soul as hundreds of Eastern Shore locals stood by waiting to place their vote of support. I count myself very lucky to know her personally. Although the odds weren’t in Deedra’s favor this time around, it does not take credit from her unique and amazing talent. I will always remember when Deedra’s voice led my family through our darkest hour. Two years ago when we lost our father suddenly and began to prepare a service in his honor, I knew immediately I wanted someone to sing “Amazing Grace” and I turned to Deedra, who instantly told me it would be an honor. To this day, my family is grateful for Deedra and how her beautiful voice brought us light when we couldn’t find it ourselves. Deedra made time stand still for those moments as she sang to us. Deedra, I want you to know from my family to you that we love you, we support you, and mostly we are proud of you! Keep up the hard work and remember God has a plan for all his children. You did an amazing job, Deedra!
