Four Convicted
in Treherneville
Homicide
By Linda Cicoira
Three Tasley brothers and their cousin entered
pleas of guilty Tuesday in Northampton Circuit
Court in connection with crimes surrounding last
April’s death of Jessie Leon Jordan.
The trials were held in succession starting with
the shooter, Durell Marion Fitchett, 25, of Daugherty
Road, who was convicted of second-degree murder.
Each defendant was brought into the courtroom separately. There were four defense lawyers, and at one
point, 11 uniformed officers in the Eastville courtroom.
Co-defendants Deleon Kinte Fitchett, 30, of Blakenship Lane; Devon Thomas Blake, 30, of Giddens
Lane; and John (also known as Dre and Andre) Dandre Lavon Logan, 27, of Blankenship Lane pleaded
guilty to lesser charges.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Bruce Jones downgraded the first-degree murder charge to second-degree
against Durell Fitchett. The defendant pleaded no contest to the homicide and use of a firearm in the crime.
However, when asked by Judge W. Revell Lewis if
he entered the plea “because he was, in fact, guilty
of the charge,” Fitchett answered, “Yes.”
Had the defendant disputed the crimes by pleading not guilty, fellow inmates would have been called
to the witness stand to tell how he boasted that he
was the shooter, Jones said.
Durell Fitchett was remanded to jail to await
completion of a long-form presentence report. The
maximum sentence for second-degree murder is 40
years in prison. By law, a three-year firearm sentence
would run consecutively with the murder term.
“I thought long and hard about it,” said Jones. “I
think second-degree murder and use of a firearm fairly” depict what occurred. “The question would have
been close for the court.” Jones did not prosecute other

Governor Comes to Cape Charles Bearing Gifts
Photo and Story by Ron West
Gov. Terry McAuliffe paid a visit to Cape Charles
Monday to make a special announcement on expansion plans for Bayshore Concrete.
The company is a unit of New York-based Skanska USA Civil, a contractor for civil-engineering
construction and infrastructure projects in the
United States.
With biting cold winds blowing in off the Chesapeake Bay, and temperatures dipping near freezing,
the governor didn’t come empty handed. Instead,
he left a state check made out to the Town of Cape
Charles and Northampton County in the amount of
$150,000. Addressing the gathering of close to 200
at pierside, McAuliffe said that the money is in the
form of a grant to assist the town, county, and Bayshore Concrete with programs to train and hire new
employees for planned expansion.
Prospects for the yard, which was built when the
first Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel was constructed in 1961, include as many as 135 new employees to

Randall To Square Off Against Bloxom or Scalley; Decision Tomorrow
By Linda Cicoira
Financial adviser Willie Randall
won the Democratic nomination last
week for delegate of the 100th District,
taking nearly 40 percent of ballots cast
in the party’s firehouse primaries.
Randall beat out Pete Lalor, a retired businessman, and Accomack Supervisor Donald Hart, a retired teacher
and guidance counselor. Lalor got 36.5
percent of the votes while Hart took
23.5 percent.
“With a lot of snow still on the secondary roads and driveways, I’m really pleased with the turnout,” said
Frank V. Moore, chairman of the district nominating committee. “It exceeded our expectations. … We had
seven voting locations in all areas of
the district … these multiple locations made it possible for nearly 1400
voters, from all areas of the district,
to decide who our nominee would be.
And they were able to choose from
among three really good candidates.
That’s democracy in action!”
The 100th District includes Accomack and Northampton counties
and parts of Norfolk. Randall got a total of 537 votes from the three areas,
compared to 492 for Lalor and 318 for
Hart.
A breakdown of votes for Accomack
showed Lalor with 353, Randall 235
and Hart 234. In Northampton, it was
Randall 274, Lalor 124 and Hart 58.
Norfolk Democrats voted Randall 28,
Hart 26 and Lalor 15.
A Special Election for delegate will
be held on Feb. 25.
Republicans plan to pick their
nominee tomorrow, Feb. 8, at a Mass
Meeting at Nandua High School.
Registration will begin at 1:30 p.m.
“Anyone standing in line at 2:30 p.m.
local time shall be allowed to register,” according to an announcement.
A government-issued photo ID will
be required.

ley of Eastville, a conservative talkradio host, will vie for the Republican
nomination.
“Born and raised on the Eastern
Shore, I understand our unique community and the diverse challenges our
area faces,” said Bloxom. “I will work
tirelessly to bring opportunities to the
Shore so our businesses and people can
flourish and our children can return to
raise their families.”
“I am running … because I believe
the residents of the Eastern Shore
and Norfolk deserve a delegate willing to stand up for them in Richmond
and lead with common sense conservative values,” Scalley said. “Our
families are too important to get
buried in the partisan wrangling in
Richmond.”
The ESVA GOP would like to remind all Republicans to
attend the nomination meeting to be held this Saturday,
Feb 8, at Nandua High School in Onley. In addition to being registered voters, all participants must be in accord
with the principles of the Republican Party, and shall not
have participated in Virginia in the nomination process
of a party other than the Republican Party within the last
five years. Individuals who have participated in any Democratic nomination may be required to submit a written
oath which will be submitted to the Republican Party of
Virginia.

Planners Support New Engine-Repair Business, Focus on Transportation, Housing
By Ron West
The Northampton County Planning
Commission conducted a public hearing on a request by Robert Sellers Jr.
and Teresa Talbott to operate a small
engine-repair business near Eastville.
The one-half acre property, located at 5094 Captain Howe Ln. in the
Meadows subdivision, is currently
zoned as Existing Subdivision-Rural
Village Residential (ESD-RVR). The
applicants said they plan to construct
a 15-foot by 20-foot accessory structure to use for the business, adjacent
to their home.
County Long Ranger Planner Peter
Stith noted that staff recommended that
the business have opaque screening, operate during daylight hours because of
noise considerations and properly dispose of waste materials. The applicants
agreed to the stipulations and the commissioners voted 5-0 (Commissioner
Martina Coker absent), to recommend
approval to the Board of Supervisors,
which will conduct a public hearing on
the matter at 7 p.m. Feb. 11 in Eastville.
The commissioners continued their
work on the Comprehensive Plan, discussing its transportation and housing
sections.
The planners have been reviewing
and rewriting the Comprehensive Plan
for over two years. The Board of Supervisors plans to hold public meetings on
it in the spring, with vote on it possibly coming by early summer. During
discussions of the plan, Commissioner
Roberta Kellam has stated on several
occasions that the county should hire a
consultant to help.
With regards to the transportation
portion of the plan, Kellam questioned
why the Board of Supervisors made
decisions regarding road priorities
instead of having the Planning Commission do so. Currently, the top road
on the Department of Transportation’s Six-Year Plan list is Old Cape
Charles Road, which leads from Lankford Hightway, just south of the Cape
Charles traffic signal, west past the
Cape Charles cemetery to an area near
the Cape Charles wastewater facility.
At a 2013 public hearing, it was agreed
that portions of that road should be

rebuilt to provide a safer route for vehicles leaving Bayshore Concrete plant
heading for Lankford Highway. Funding has been put into the program from
Richmond and it is anticipated that
the roadwork should follow within a
reasonable timeframe.
The matter of where public sewer
lines should be placed brought some
discussion with regards to where new
housing and/or commercial construction would occur. At present, the Public
Service Authority (PSA) is being led
by Vice Chairman J.T. Holland until
a new chairman is selected to replace
Bob Panek, who has stepped down.
Commissioner Mike Ward said that
while the focus of the PSA is on commercial properties in the area near the Cape
Charles traffic signal in hopes that businesses will locate there, there are already
a few commercial interests in the northern end of the county that could benefit
from public wastewater services. When
the PSA decided which area of the county to focus on first, the higher costs associated with the northern area helped
lead it to focus on the southern end.
School Board Proposes Budget
By Linda Cicoira
Accomack’s School Board voted
unanimously Tuesday to hold a public
hearing on a nearly $46 million 201415 draft budget that includes $467,843
to reduce gaps in competitive salaries
for teachers. Nearly $218,000 will be
requested in local money above the
current year’s plan.
The hearing is scheduled for 7:30
p.m. Feb. 11 at Nandua High School.
Superintendent Dr. Bruce Benson recommended the draft with “input from
my cabinet, building administrators,
Teacher Advisory, Parent Advisory, and
Budget Advisory Committees.” He said
it “supports our adopted vision, mission, and goals.”
The School Board also voted to use
Presidents’ Day, Feb. 17, as a snow
makeup day. The division closed recently for six days because of bad weather.

indictments that were brought against
Fitchett. They were malicious wounding by a mob, malicious wounding,
displaying a firearm in a threatening
manner, participating in gang violence
and murder by a mob (lynching).
Sentences were not included in the
bargains. Jones said the victim’s parents and his sister “understood and
approved” of the dispositions. Both
women were visibly upset. Before the
trials began, his mother loudly sobbed
and had to leave to compose herself.
In a letter sent to the Eastern Shore
Post last August, Durell Fitchett sent
his “condolences to the family and
friends of the victim. I know the feeling and affects (sic) of losing a close
family member because in 2007 I lost
a brother … due to gun violence. Being a witness of that made me afraid
of guns and my condition made me
unable to maliciously wound anyone
but myself by falling the wrong way.
That’s why I stay away from any physical conflicts because if I get hit in my
head the wrong way, it may lead to my
death or put me back in a coma. Being
in here (Eastern Shore Regional Jail)
made me realize that hanging with
the crowd makes you guilty even when
you’re innocent because I’m innocent
and the guilty one is set free. Now I’m
here missing my therapy and my family, girlfriend and freedom …”
Durell Fitchett’s injuries were from
a 2012 traffic accident.
Jordan, also known as Bob and
Sponge Bob, 23, of the Cape Charles
area, was so drunk the night he was
killed that “stupor” could be used to
describe his level of inebriation, according to data from the University of
Minnesota. He was beaten up and shot
outside A&E Auto & Truck Repairs on
the corner of Sylvan Scene Drive and
Lankford Highway on April 13, 2013.
Jones said Jordan started a fight
with Blake by spinning him around
and “head-butting him.” Blake’s relatives then joined in the fracas. “Deleon
Fitchett punched Jordan in the head,”
said Jones. “Almost immediately a
gunshot went off very close. … One of
the four people had to have fired the

shots. … Jordan fell to ground.” The
four punched and kicked Jordan. “He
was putting up no resistance.” Jones
said “no one realized he had been shot.
Almost all bleeding was internal.”
The murder weapon was a 9mm
semiautomatic pistol bought for Durell Fitchett in March 2013, according
to Jones. “Ammunition that was found
at his house” matched what was used
in the shooting. Jones said State Police officers later found the weapon “in
a giant irrigation pond in Accomack”
County and it was proven that the bullet fragment found at the scene “was
fired by that gun.”
The bullet pierced Jordan’s aorta,
said Jones. “No one would have survived that wound. … Jordan died from
the gunshot wound. … The other injuries would not have been fatal.”
Deleon Fitchett was brought out
from the jail entrance wearing a dark
blue prison jumpsuit. He blew a kiss
to someone in the back of the crowded
courtroom before pleading guilty to
malicious wounding in a plea agreement with Jones. The other charges
against him — malicious wounding

by a mob, murder by a mob and participating in gang violence — were not
prosecuted.
The maximum punishment for malicious wounding is 20 years in prison.
“We have ample evidence that Jordan was conscious during the beating,”
said Jones. “I consider that the malicious wounding” charge was “fair” for
the defendant. “Mr. Fitchett agreed to
be cooperative.”
Lewis accepted the agreement and
found Deleon Fitchett guilty. He was
taken back to jail until a long-form
presentence report can be completed.
A malicious wounding charge against
Logan, the cousin of the other defendants,
was amended to the lesser count of unlawful wounding in another agreement.
Logan pleaded no contest. Lewis accepted the agreement. He said the maximum
sentence for the crime is five years in
prison. Jones will not prosecute charges
of murder by a mob and participating in
gang violence against Logan, who “consistently denied being in the group.”
Jones said witnesses would have
put Logan at the scene. A short-form
presentence report was ordered and
Logan was taken back to jail.
Jones agreed to amend charges of
malicious wounding and malicious
wounding by a mob to misdemeanor
counts of assault and battery and assault and battery by a mob for Blake,
the half-brother of the Fitchetts. The
maximum sentence for each charge is
11 months in jail.
“Blake was himself the initial victim,” said Jones. He was “attacked or
assaulted by Mr. Jordan.” He “works
at Perdue” and was “desperate not to
lose his job. Blake was the first to help.
He gave us a good sense of what happened. … Mr. Blake got us on the right
track. He was very helpful but certainly guilty of the charges. … I’m in Mr.
Blake’s corner to a large extent. … I
don’t object to him remaining on bond
… until sentencing.”
Lewis accepted the agreement, deferred sentencing and allowed Blake
to remain free on existing bond.
Just after Jordan was killed, Arthur
Harmon, the shop owner, said there
were about 40 people at a party inside
the business when a territorial dispute
occurred outside. He heard shots and
went to investigate. Harmon said he
saw the victim on the ground.

help handle contracts Bayshore won to
build and/or repair bridges in the New
Jersey area. The governor spoke to the
gathering, which included nearly 100
current employees, of the need for the
town, county and state to work closely.
McAuliffe noted that by successfully
outbidding companies in New York,
New Jersey, and Maryland, Bayshore
ensured that proceeds and taxes will
flow into the county rather than into
those northern states.
An additional benefit for the town will
be improvements to the harbor, which
will be needed to handle larger and more
barge traffic bringing in raw materials
and transporting out concrete products.
The governor noted the importance of
working to diversify the economy in the
region, and said that Bayshore is in a position to help with that.
McAuliffe presented representatives of Bayshore with a flag that had
flown over the Capitol in Richmond
and asked that they proudly fly it from
their facility.

Cape Charles Mayor Dora Sullivan
cited the long relationship between the
town and Bayshore. She noted that with
the expansion, the town will continue to
grow. “Our partnership with Bayshore
continues to be strong,” she said.
Northampton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Larry LeMond
spoke of how the railroad had helped
to create the Town of Cape Charles 130
years ago and how it continues to be
important to the Eastern Shore. The
expansion of Bayshore is expected to
increase the number of railcars that
move in and out of the facility.
Chad Saunders of Bayshore thanked
the town and county leaders for their
ongoing support of the facility and
noted the long tenure of some employees, including those who are children
or grandchildren of former employees
who began working there nearly 60
years ago. “While the work here may
not be glorious, it is noble,” said Saunders. “Individuals who travel anywhere
in a car must ride on concrete products.
We provide a way for society to be more
efficient.”

Exmore Town Workers Lauded
by Officials Following Storms
By Ron West
Exmore town employees received
numerous pats on the back for the assistance they provided to citizens of the
town during the recent snowstorms.
During Monday’s Town Council meeting, Town Manager Robert Duer noted
that members of the Public Works, Public
Utilities, and Police departments went
well beyond the scope of their jobs to insure that the roads were safe and the water and wastewater systems continued to
operate. Duer noted that there were three
water-line breaks due to the severe temperatures, one of which was discovered by
members of the Police Department, who
quickly alerted utility crews.
Police Chief Angelo DiMartino noted
that despite single-digit temperatures,
the crews, often soaked in the icy water, stayed on the job until repairs were
completed.
Town resident G.W. Adkins and Ken
Dufty of the Business Association echoed
the comments of Duer. Dufty stated that
without the crews’ help, business owners
would have had a much more difficult
time keeping their doors open.
The idea of a farmers’ market was
raised by Adkins, a member of the Planning Commission, who said the town
should seek a site that could serve as a
catalyst for businesses in town.
Councilman Charles Ward suggested that the market also might include
seafood.
Council was advised that property at
the intersection of Silver Beach Road
and Lankford Highway had been offered to the town as a donation. Council
voted 5-0 (Councilman Bradley Doughty absent) to have the town attorney
draw up the necessary paperwork to allow the town to accept the property.
A resolution to adopt revisions to
the town’s personnel policy as well as
to establish a procurement policy were
briefly discussed and approved by council. The new policy authorizes the town
manager to approve purchase orders
up to $50,000. Council still retained
control over any expenditures beyond
those needed for day-to-day operations.
A recommendation from the January session regarding the installation
of shallow wells by town residents was
finalized by council. In recent years,
the town has exceeded its water withdrawal permit of 50 million gallons
annually. The new policy allows residents to have shallow wells to provide
water for yards, gardens, and other
outside activities, as long as the wells
are not connected to the home water
lines. Council voted 5-0 to support
the plan. Permits to allow a property
owner to have such a well installed are
available at the Town Office.
In a final action of the evening, council agreed to write off approximately
$1,900 in bad debts owed to the town
by individuals who had left the area.
Council vote 4-1 (Councilman Bryon
Heaster voting against) to approve the
recommendation.
Duer announced that town offices
would be closed on Feb. 17 for Presidents’ Day, as well as the following day,
to provide an opportunity to update
software on the computer systems.

Perdue Donates to Two Local Community Initiatives
Through the support of the Arthur
W. Perdue Foundation, Perdue has
awarded a $3,000 grant to help Lighthouse Ministries in Keller expand its
accommodations for the homeless.
“We’ve lacked facilities to adequately accommodate families or those individuals with disabilities,” said Gina
Crockett, Lighthouse Ministries’ coordinator. “This grant helps move us
closer to that reality. We’re blessed to
have the support of Perdue and the
Arthur W. Perdue Foundation.”
Crockett said Lighthouse Ministries hopes to break ground on the
$300,000 project by this summer.
In 2012, Lighthouse Ministries
launched a capital campaign called
“Lighting the Way” to raise funds to
build an addition to its home for women,
which will provide the necessary structure for families and the handicapped.
“On many occasions, we have been
… (un)able to provide proper shelter
to the handicapped due to the structure of our two old farmhouses used
for shelter homes,” said Crockett.
“When families come to us, we often
find it necessary to locate the father in
one shelter home and the mother and
children in a separate home. This project will provide much-needed accommodations to help those most in need.”
Kim Nechay, executive director of
the Arthur W. Perdue Foundation, said,
“At Perdue, we’re committed to supporting organizations that share our belief
in making our communities better. …
Thanks to the good work of Lighthouse
Ministries, individuals and families
on the Eastern Shore of Virginia have
a safe haven to help them through a
most difficult time. We’re proud to support their mission.”

Greg Recalls Sporting Days and Battles ALS
F
or 25 years, Greg Merritt traveled up and down the sidelines
covering sports on the Eastern
Shore. As a self-confessed sports fanatic, Greg had the perfect job.
I hired Greg in 1987 at the Eastern
Shore News for the sports editor position. The key point he made in the
interview was that he was already attending local sporting events on Friday
nights. Hours can be long in this position, but when you want to be there
anyway, it’s not so bad.
Coaches sometimes asked me if
there were more than one Greg Merritt on the staff because he seemed to
be everywhere. One afternoon he took
photographs at seven different sporting events.
“It helped that there were baseball
and softball games and a soccer match
at Northampton,” said Greg on Tuesday at his home on his native Chincoteague. “Then I went to a baseball
game and softball game at Broadwater
and later caught the end of a soccer
match and baseball game at Arcadia.”
Greg and I spent two delightful
hours discussing sports of all kinds earlier this week. One year apart in age
and competitors in high school, where
he played four sports, we both have
followed the New York Yankees since
childhood and both have covered sports
on the Shore, though he has done it far
longer than I.
“I have so many great memories
from those years,” said Greg. “I guess
the state championships won by the
Shore schools stand out most,” citing a
wrestling title won by Northampton in
1995, a football title by Broadwater in
2000, back-to-back hoop titles won by
Nandua in 2002 and 2003, and a soccer
title by Nandua in 2003.
“I will never forget standing under
the basket when A.J. Custis hit a shot
Greg Merritt
at the buzzer in the semi-final game
to put Nandua in the championship
game. I was so nervous I almost forgot
to take the picture. The fans and players swarmed after A.J., and the celebration spilled onto the court.”
Greg said Ace Custis of Northampton and B.A. Walker of Nandua stand
out as the top two basketball players he
covered. Among girls, he said Kim Giddens, who went on to play at Old Dominion and currently coaches at Nandua,
was easily the best player he covered.
Greg traveled far and wide to cover
sports, always there for the final play,
the last out or the game-ending horn
when local teams competed in the
playoffs. But he also enjoyed covering
sports outside our region.
He covered the Delmarva Shorebirds so often he became close to Ryan
Minor, a third baseman who was promoted to the Baltimore Orioles.
It turned out Greg was in Baltimore
the night Cal Ripken decided to end
his consecutive game streak at 2,632.
In fact, Greg was interviewing Minor
just prior to Minor learning he was re-
placing Ripken in the lineup that night.
“I’ll never forget what Ryan said to the
manager when he saw his name on the
starting lineup card, ‘Does Cal know?’ ”
Greg attended the post-game press
conference and walked out with Cal
and his wife, trading pleasantries.
Greg was great to have around the office because he could tell such great stories. He had more than one brush with
celebrities, though some were by chance.
At Virginia Wesleyan, where he graduated after first attending the University of Virginia, Greg went to Richmond
for the weekend with a friend who was
on the college tennis team. The friend
knew Arthur Ashe, the great tennis
player, and on a dare, Greg received a
serve from Ashe. “I barely saw it, much
less touched it,” recalled Greg.
Another college friend worked at
the Dome in Virginia Beach, where
musical acts performed. One night he
brought Santana back to the dorm,
where Greg joined him with his bass
guitar and sang “Black Sabbath Woman.” “I was jamming all I could, but I
sang it rather poorly,” said Greg.
After college, Greg served as an intern in Washington, D.C., for the Democratic National Committee, where his
boss was Larry O’Brien, who would
one day be the commissioner of the
NBA. He was also the liaison with Sen.
Ted Kennedy’s office and worked on
several speeches for the senator.
“I couldn’t take the traffic anymore,” said Greg, “so I came back to
the Shore,” where he taught school and
worked for the Social Services Department and wildlife refuge before joining
the newspaper.
When Greg was about 13 he followed his father around the golf course
at Pocomoke. His father was joined by
a business acquaintance, who brought
his twin 8-year-old sons, one of whom
was Curtis Strange, who would one
day win two U.S. Open titles. “I could
tell then he was pretty good,” said
Greg, “although we were just mainly
using old putters.”
Greg credits his father, the late Paul
Merritt, with his love for sports. “He
carried me to a boatload of games as a
child. We went everywhere, especially
in New York where we had relatives,
and that is why I like the Yankees and
Giants today.”
Greg would often write lovingly of
his father in columns penned for Father’s Day. As an only child, he talks
daily with his mother, Helen, who lives
a short distance away.
Today, he is very close to his three
children, Crystal, 40, Drew, 20, and a
latecomer, Mark, 6.
Mark, home from kindergarten,
raced in to say hello during the interview. “He brings a smile to my face every day,” said Greg.
Always upbeat with a wry sense of
humor — the perfect office workmate
— Greg showed a spirit Tuesday few
could muster, given his condition.
Greg had triple bypass heart surgery in 2011, but recovered to get back
in the sports scene. However, shortly
after he retired in 2012, ending a quarter century of covering sports, he began to lose strength in his legs.
After a series of tests, checking for
Lyme Disease, he was told he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often
referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,”
because the Yankee great suffered
from ALS during the last days of his
playing career in the late 1930s.
“I find it somewhat comforting that
someone I idolized and heard about as
a kid also had this disease,” said Greg
Tuesday.
“Don’t get me wrong. I wish I had
(Continued on Next Page)
~ Merritt ~
(Continued from Previous Page)
almost anything else, but it is what it
is. All I can do is deal with it the best
I can. I don’t want this to define me.”
One of his great regrets is that he
was not able to see his grandson, Zack
Fisher, a senior at Chincoteague, play
football this past season.
“I have already lost a lot of strength
in my legs and even with a cane, it
takes all the energy I have to walk a
few yards,” said Greg, whose voice is
noticeably strained from the disease. “I
still would be attending games, but I
just can’t make the walk.”
Greg’s son Drew now serves as his
legs. Drew is a freshman at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, where
he has made straight A’s after graduating from Chincoteague two years ago
as the class salutatorian. “He was living on campus but now stays here and
has arranged his classes so he’s there
only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He
takes me for rides, gets what I need
and helps in more ways than I can
count,” said Greg, whose wife Michelle
is an elementary-school teacher.
Greg has researched volumes of material on ALS and has read “Tuesdays
with Morrie,” the bestseller by Mitch
Albom about a college professor who
battled ALS.
“There is only a limited amount of
research being done for a cure for ALS
because only about 35,000 people in
the country have it. It’s not like cancer and heart disease, where millions
have it, and money is poured into research to find a cure,” said Greg, who
added that he is extremely thankful he
does not have the familial ALS, which
means his family members are not at
an increased risk for developing it.
Greg said he is not taking any medications for ALS and he has already
signed an advanced directive stating
that he is not interested in feeding
tubes or ventilation devices that assist
breathing in the latter stages of ALS.
He said there is no timetable, and
the degeneration of the nerves and
muscles from ALS varies greatly from
one person to the next.
“I’ve always believed you make lemonade out of a lemon,” says Greg. “But I
have to admit this is one big lemon I’ve
been given.”

Warriors Use 12 3-pointers to Whip Firebirds
Story and photos by Bill Sterling
Nandua used a barrage of 3-pointers Monday night to knock off Arcadia
81-52 and take control of the Shore
District race.
The Warriors rained 12 treys, starting with a pair by Jakorah Parker and
one by Mahagee Wise in the opening
minutes. Then Tyreim Blake got hot,
hitting 6 of 8 3-point attempts. And at
the end, the bench got in the act with
three more in the final quarter from
Cameron Giddens, Daryl Fisher and
Evan McGregor. As a team, the Warriors were 12 of 17 from 3-point range.
Blake led Nandua with 25 points,
followed by Troy Planter with 15
points and Trayvon Snead with 13
points. Nandua’s 6’,7” center, Issac Taylor, missed the game with a sprained
ankle. Snead took up the slack on the
boards with 10 rebounds, with Troy
Planter grabbing seven. Blake also
had a team-high seven assists.
Arcadia was led by Taylor Major
with 17 points, Travon Copes with 13
and Deon Giddens with 11.
“We might just call practice off for
the rest of the year the way we shot tonight,” joked Cedrick Cooper after the
game. “It was one of those nights everything seemed to go in. Tryeim was
on fire all night. We needed to shoot
well with our big man out, and they
certainly did.”
The win gave Nandua a one-game
lead over Arcadia with a final meeting
next Tuesday at Arcadia.
On Wednesday Nandua was handed a 88-42 defeat by Sussex Tech, the
third ranked team in Delaware.
Troy Planter led the Warriors with
19 points.
Warriors Whip Jackets
Trayvon Snead scored a seasonhigh 35 points as Nandua outlasted
Northampton 80-68 Tuesday night to
maintain its lead in the Shore District race.
The Warriors jumped to an early
20-8 lead, but from there the Jackets
held even as both teams lit up the scoreboard over the final three quarters.
Snead was 12 of 19 from the floor
and also collected 17 rebounds and six
steals to lead the Warriors.
Tyreim Blake had 18 points, including four 3-pointers, and Troy Planter
had 12 points.
“Trayvon had a career night,” said
Nandua coach Cedrick Cooper.
Northampton was led by Zeb Carter
with 22 points and Raquan Anderson
with 20. Bryan Christian had a doubledouble with 14 points and 13 rebounds.
Carter also earned a double-double
with 10 assists.
Jackets Rally by Ponies
Raquan Anderson of Northampton
skies for a 2-point attempt against
Nandua Tuesday.
Northampton used a 27-10 spurt in
the final quarter to subdue Chincoteague 66-51 Wednesday night on the
island.
The Ponies, winless in the district
this season, held a 41-39 lead after
three quarters before the Jackets used
a full-court press and finished strong
to get the win.
Tysean Stratton scored a season
high 20 points for Northampton, followed by Raquan Anderson with 16.
Brian Christian and Zeb Carter had 10
each.
Pony coach Will Thompson said 23
turnovers hurt his team, many of them
coming in the pivotal fourth quarter.
For Chincoteague Kyle Gentry and
Collin Derrickson each had 11 points
while Jaquan Persinger had 10 and
Cory Reifler added nine points.

Two Arcadia Starters Transfer to Broadwater
Twins Tyler and Taylor Major
played their final basketball game for
Arcadia Monday before transferring to
Broadwater Academy Wednesday.
Taylor Major was the team’s leading
scorer while Tyler, who was an All-District football selection this past season
as a running back, linebacker and kick
returner, also started for the Firebird
basketball team. Taylor earned AllDistrict honors in football as a receiver
and also played quarterback.
At press time, it was not known
whether the Majors would see playing time for the Broadwater basketball
team for the remainder of the season,
and it appeared they would not be
eligible to compete in the postseason
tournament for the Virginia Independent School Athletic Association.
The Majors were juniors at Arcadia,
but will be reclassified as sophomores
at Broadwater, according to headmaster Jeremy McLean. McLean said the
Major family initiated contact with the
school and followed through on the application process.
April Major, mother of the twins,
said the primary factor in her sons
transferring to Broadwater is to enhance their opportunity to pursue a
college education.
Thomas J. Johnson, assistant principal at Arcadia, said of the Major twins,
“They are quality young men who are
good students.”
McLean said Broadwater does not
give athletic scholarships, although
financial aid is available for families
who demonstrate need.
Nandua Girls Crush Northampton To Knot Race

Northampton.
Story and photos by Bill Sterling
Nandua evened the Eastern Shore
District girls’ basketball race with a
convincing 75-54 win over Northampton Tuesday night. The game tied the
season series at 2-2 and will, in all
likelihood, leave the two teams tied at
season’s end next week.
There will be no district tournament
this season due to the need to make up
games postponed to weather. Regular
season games count toward conference
seedings while tournament games do
not.
The Lady Jackets took a 14-8 after
one quarter, but Nandua stormed back
with a 20-11 second quarter margin to
hold a 3-point lead at halftime.
The Lady Warriors increased its
lead to seven after three quarters before erupting for 27 points in the final quarter, including 12 points from
D’errica Toppin.
Toppin led the Lady Warriors with
21 points, while Khadigah Robinson
and Kyteia Smaw added 14 and 12
points, respectively.
For Northampton, Whitney Metz
had 13, Briana Williams had 12 and
Jabria Brown had 10.
Nandua coach Kim Giddens said
her girls “kept their focus, stayed positive and played together. We kept our
heads in the game.”
Earlier in the week, Nandua defeated Arcadia 61-31 behind 10 points
from Khadijah Robinson and 12 each
from Toppin and Smaw.
For Arcadia, Sarah Jones and Normaya Harris had 8 points each, with
Tazmonique Lankford adding 6.
Jackets Top Chinco
The Northampton girls roared to a 34-2
halftime lead before taking a 43-6 victory over Chincoteague Wednesday night.
Whitney Metz had 16 points to lead
the Lady Jackets. Daju Smith had 7
points in addition to 10 steals. Taylor
Nadeau had 5 points and eight rebounds.
For the Lady Ponies, Kristin Fox
had all 6 points.
Broadwater Boys, Girls Win
Michael Riopel scored 25 points on
10 of 13 from the floor to lead Broadwater to a 68-44 win over Stonebridge
Monday night on the road.
The Vikings won their 11th consecutive game by pulling away after
holding a 31-22 halftime lead with a
25-point third quarter.
Matt McCaskill was a perfect 6 for
6 from the floor, including a 3-pointer,
scoring 16 points. Frank Long, Wesley
Shrieves and Brandon Burrows added
8 points each.
Riopel grabbed a team-high eight
rebounds while Burrows dished out
seven assists.
The Viking boys don’t play again at
home until Feb. 17.
Lady Vikings Roll
Katie Wendell poured in 32 points
as the Broadwater girls trounced
Stonebridge 48-20 Monday night to
raise their record to 8-5.
Wendell was 5 of 6 from 3-point
range for a season high and Kathleen
Kraft and Jenna Hare had 6 points
each. Kraft and Anna Sexauer each
had a team-high 11 rebounds.
The girls host Isle of Wight tonight.

A
sk and you shall receive. That’s
what Sarah Lewis of Gargatha
did. And that’s why she’s a winner.
Sarah (pictured at right) secured
the $100 gift card from C.D. Marsh
Jewelers in Onancock for getting the
most items in the 3rd Annual Eastern
Shore Post Scavenger Hunt. Oh yeah!
The 29-year-old was quick to point
out she had a lot of help from family and
friends. Her enthusiasm was most definitely unparalleled. Sarah has a lot of
firsts to celebrate. She is the first of her
family to be born on the Shore. She is the
first in that group to win this prize. AND
she and her husband, Curt, are expecting their first baby. Yippee! I love helping to tell the world such great news.
She came into the office Monday
evening with a large gift bag filled with
her finds. “I had a lot of people help-
ing me,” she said. “I just
asked people for it and
they gave it to me.” Sarah also used Facebook
to gain some assistance.
She got 20 of the 29
possible points. This
winner was able to
track down a Burger
King crown that her
friend Letitia Greer
went clear to Salisbury
to pick up, a Nixon political button and the
library book “Misty of
Chincoteague” that her
father, Gary Heintzelman, provided and
300 S&H green stamp
points (that were worth
a whopping 50 cents
back in the day) and
were still being saved
by mom Dottie Heintzelman, who also
gave up her blue rubber band for the
effort.
In addition, Sarah had two oyster
shells, a photograph of the Chincoteague
Lighthouse taken by Rose Taylor, a recent edition of the Eastern Shore Post
(now that’s what I call a sought-after
item), a 1997 Humane Society calendar,
lime green buttons, a wooden spool of
thread (that still had the 25-cent price
Post Office Mail
A Lesson in Civics and Civility
Dear Editor:
I served as the representative for Pete Lalor at
the recent Democratic caucus in Eastville. Arriving
shortly before the polls opened, I set up my lawn
chair and a couple of signs, took out the flyers Lalor
had supplied, and waited for voters. As people approached, I greeted them and asked if they wanted
information.
Although I handed out less than 50 flyers during
the four hours I was there, the responses I received
from voters were remarkable. The courtesy and friendliness of my fellow residents, regardless of who “their”
candidate happened to be, reinforced my conviction
that we live in a community of people who show civility and tolerance even when their opinions differ.
The civics lesson? Yes, I read and obeyed caucus
rules and stayed for the official count, none of which
was familiar to me, but it was the demonstration of
civility that will leave the more lasting impression.
Sarah Morgan, via email
tag intact), a Rubik’s cube (that she was
unable to solve), a Star Wars action figure, a millennium glass that had 2000
across the stem and a Chesapeake Bay
Bridge-Tunnel toll receipt from April 2,
1999, that was purchased at 4:52 p.m.
and cost $10. That last item was found
in her mother’s car!
Sarah had a container of Pogs, which
were collectibles from her pre-teen era
and a 1975 high-school yearbook from
Texas that was provided by her co-
ESCADV Grateful for Support
Dear Editor:
On behalf our of board, staff, and clients, we’d like
to express our gratitude to several organizations
that held special events within the past few months
to benefit the Eastern Shore Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ESCADV).
Holy Trinity Episcopal Church held a “Coffee
House” event that was very well attended and included many talented musicians. The Town and Country Garden Group of the Woman’s Club of Accomack
County hosted a truly spectacular and unique “Timeless” Vintage Fashion Show at historic Ker Place,
and ESCADV was one of the beneficiaries of the very
successful Christmas Home Tour sponsored by the
Onancock Business and Civic Association.
We are honored to partner with these wonderful
organizations and the many people who were involved and supportive. Thank you for your commitment to bring safety, hope, support, and assistance to
domestic violence survivors, their families, and our
community.
Peaches Dodge
Board President, ESCADV
worker Lisa Russell from
when she was a freshman.
Lala Orange, a Rainbow
Brite doll, was sent from
former Shore girl, Nikki
Johnson Murawski, who
now resides in Connecticut. Nikki put the doll in
the mail a week ago and
it luckily arrived that day!
Whew!
Sarah wanted me to
make sure I mentioned
that her mother-in-law,
Angie Sturgis, and coworkers, Michele Denton and
Sharon Beckett, also were
part of the team effort. I
swear I think our winner
could solve world hunger if
she put her mind to it.
And guess what Sarah
is going to do with her big
prize? She is giving it to her husband
so he can get her the best Valentine
present ever. Well isn’t that the sweetest thing you ever heard?
It’s enough to make me want to send
love notes, flowers and chocolates to
myself. That special day is just a week
away, folks. So don’t forget it and have
a good one.
