Before the snow fell, harbors and creeks around the Eastern Shore, like this one in Harborton, were covered with ice.
FrostED Flakes Finally Fall in February
By Linda Cicoira
The first real snowfall on the Eastern Shore this
season came Monday night and it was a beauty.
But it never visits without bringing a beast of delays, cancellations, loss of work, shoveling and even
cabin fever. And then the sub-freezing temperatures
that accompanied the four to ten inches caused pipes
to freeze at some Shore homes, all while the power
blinked off and on and in some cases stayed off.
Hello, winter! Spring is less than 30 days away.
Tangier got between seven and eight inches of
snow, according to islander Elizabeth Parker Pruitt.
“Beautiful now, just waiting for the roads to improve.
We will soon need food, mail and medicines brought
to us as it looks like it will be this way for a bit,” she
said Tuesday.
“The airport is being cleared now so some of the
tuggers can get back to work,” Pruitt continued. “The
watermen are stuck in at the docks not making any
money, which is awful as they only have like nine
more days before the oyster season is over. What we
need more than anything is that Virginia will let
them make up these last days due to weather. We
are under State of Emergency. Every day these oys-
termen sit at the dock. It’s money taken away from
their families.”
She later posted on Facebook, “No food here since
last Thursday, no medicines, people are starting to
panic wondering how long we will be ice-bound. If anyone with ties to Coast Guard could get this message to
them, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and
good luck to all of you over on the mainland too.”
Down in Cape Charles, Janet Dudley reported
about four inches of snow.
She “had the good fortune of staying put” and

Plans Solidify for New Community College
By Linda Cicoira
Groundbreaking on the new Eastern Shore Community College (ESCC)
building is anticipated to begin this
fall, President Linda Thomas Glover
told the Accomack Board of Supervisors Wednesday. The project will cost
between $18 million and $20 million.
As soon as the State Board of Community Colleges approves the design,
plans will move forward, she said. It
will take between 18 and 24 months
to complete construction. Demolition
of the original school would be done
within a year after the new one opens.
Glover said she is hoping that at least
a slab will be left to use as a patio.
The county’s draft FY 2015-16 budget being looked over by the supervisors
includes a second installment, for a total of $675,000 in local money, for the
new building. Glover said a breakdown
of enrollment for fall 2014 showed 73
percent are part-time students compared to 69 percent last year; 38 percent
are male compared to 33 percent, and
62 percent are 22 years old or younger,
compared to 56 percent. Seventeen percent (1 percent less than last year) are
first-time college students and 73 percent compared to 70 percent last year
live in Accomack County.
Glover also mentioned that three
students were interns at the Mid-At-
lantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) last
summer and two who graduated were
hired for full-time employment. The
other will graduate in May.
The supervisors unanimously reappointed Wesley Edwards to the Economic Development Authority. He
represents District 3, but lives in District 9. The board also discussed filling a post on the Hunter/Land Owner Advisory Committee. Pete Duer
was appointed to the Quinby Harbor
Committee.
Three separate reports gave Accomack’s 2014 financial records top
grades, according to the auditor who
reviewed them.
“As a board it gives us confirmation
about what we already know about our
finance department,” said Chairwoman Reneta Major.
The supervisors presented retired
Director of Building and Zoning Director David Fluhart with a commenda-
tion of appreciation for his 26 years of
service.
“I miss you all, too,” Fluhart told the
board. “I think about you often. I still
get a lot of phone calls. I’m still helping everyone who calls. I don’t miss the
stress.”
Finance Director Mike Mason reported that major revenues are up by
3.9 percent over last year for the last
quarter of 2014. For this year, revenues
are up by 0.3 percent. Mason said that
figure includes the $650,000 refund
given to Perdue. Without that refund,
revenues would be up by 2.5 percent.
Real-estate taxes, which fund 36
percent of the budget, are up by 4.1
percent. Personal-property tax collection is down 9 percent over last year.
Mason said he’s not sure “what is
driving that right now.” However, the
treasurer will begin the next round of
DMV stops soon to help remedy the
situation.

A Navy E-2C Hawkeye leaked
about 800 gallons of fuel last week
while Flying in a landing pattern as
part of flight training at NASA Wallops Flight Facility.
No damage has been reported by
the public so far and it is thought
that the majority of the fuel was
discharged on NASA property. The
plane involved in the fuel leak was
flying touch-and-goes and wasn’t
part of the Field Carrier Landing
Practice Group, an official said.
“The aircraft, assigned to Airborne
Early Warning Squadron 120 based at
Naval Station Norfolk, landed safely at
Wallops Flight Facility in accordance
with established safety procedures,”
said Cmdr. Mike Kafka, public affairs
officer for Naval Air Force Atlantic.
The incident happened on Wednesday, Feb. 11. “Upon landing, flight
line personnel towed the aircraft to a
wash rack to minimize further spillage,” Kafka said. “All fuel mitigation
and clean-up procedures were conducted in accordance with established
regulations and in coordination with
on-scene Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) personnel. The cause of
the fuel leak is under investigation,”
he added.
The plane is used to train pilots and
aircrews in operation.
Local citizens who may be affected
by the leaked fuel should contact the
Navy Tort Claims Unit at 757-3414583, [email protected] or at

Traffic was rerouted for several
hours. Durnell was charged with failure to maintain his lane.

On Sunday, Feb. 22, the Accomack
Northampton Pregnancy Center will
hold a short ceremony to dedicate its
new ultrasound facility and to thank
those who will operate the system and
those who helped bring the project to
fruition. The event will be conducted
at Colonial Square in Belle Haven.
The public is invited.
For the past several years, Linda
Baylis Spence, executive director of
the Accomack-Northampton Pregnancy Center, and the center’s Board
of Directors have been working to expand services at the center and conducting fund-raising events toward
that end.
The local Knights of Columbus introduced Spence to the details of the
KoC Ultrasound Initiative, a program
by which the national level of the
Knights of Columbus provide matching funds at the local level to purchase
an ultrasound system.
In the months that followed, the
center met numerous criteria, including clinic certification and retention of
medical professionals to operate the
ultrasound. Within two months, sufficient funds were raised within the
Eastern Shore community to submit
for matching funds with the Knights.
The paperwork was quickly processed
and the equipment obtained.

Court Postings
By Linda Cicoira
Accomack Grand Jury
Quiet indictments handed down by
an Accomack Grand Jury earlier this
month were made public Wednesday. It
was unclear from court records if the
accused are related, although they all
share the same last name.
Shawn Lamont Harmon, no age
available, of Onancock was indicted on
counts of selling cocaine on Aug. 5 and
26, 2014, and of possession or transpor­
tation of a firearm by a felon on Oct. 2,
2014. Secured bond was set at $10,000.
Marcus LaShawn Harmon, 24, of
Gospel Temple Road in Melfa was
indicted on four counts of selling co­
caine. The incidents allegedly oc­
curred July 29 and 30, Aug. 1 and
Sept. 23, 2014. Secured bond was set
at $3,500.
Mary Harmon, 63, of Boundary Av­
enue in Onancock was indicted on a
count of selling cocaine on Aug. 5, 2014.
Secured bond was set at $2,500.

Matthews said Dollar General

foods like he does, but he will still have
overhead and taxes to pay, regardless of
his potential losses.
“First of all, this would cause more

Matthews said that while the proposal includes eight new jobs, “I have
about 20 now. It could take away

accomplishing?”
The Planning Commission held a
public hearing on the zoning request
last week, but did not make a recommendation to the county Board of Supervisors because of a concern about
the entrance from Lankford Highway.
The site is more than three acres. Linton also requested conditional rezoning
of three adjacent properties in Wattsville, according to the county website.

a waste of money to have three dollar
stores, all within 15 or 20 miles. It will
bring too much traffic and accidents also. Makes no sense whatsoever.”
“Everyone absolutely loves the
friendly atmosphere at Matthews’ Market,” wrote Allena Annis of Parksley.
“I don’t feel we need another Dollar
General Store in our area,” wrote Nina Thornton of Oak Hall. “We need our
Matthews’ Market Store, which sells
items you can’t get in other stores.”
“Mappsville is a small town with a
market the way it should be,” wrote Lori Gordy of Parksley. “Matthews’ Market
is a great place and Route 13 does not
need any more business on the highway.
It is already too populated with traffic.
Also Matthews’ Market is locally owned
… stop trying to close the small people.”
“This is already a dangerous section of highway!” said Laura Atkins of
Parksley.
Jo Ellen Ellis of Bloxom asked, “How
about funding to give the community a
face-lift instead?”
“As an employee of Matthews’ Market, I am asking for everybody to sign
this petition,” said Katie Isdell of Hallwood. “It’s a great place to work and it
would be a shame to lose business over
a Dollar General when there is one
six miles away to the north and eight
miles to the south.”

It also will host a number of activities, including a panel of Chincoteaguers discussing their memories of
the war, a panel who have donated

Exmore Resident Dies
Mr. Harold Joseph Goldstine,
better known as
Goldy, of Exmore
passed
away Friday, Jan.
30, 2015, at Heritage Hall Healthcare in Nassawadox, just 23 days
short of his goal
to celebrate his
102nd birthday.
A native of GroMr. Goldstine
ton, N.Y., he was
the son of the late
Benn and Grace Louise Morse Goldstine and married Mary Elizabeth Richardson of Oswego, N.Y., in 1934. Following service in the depression era Civilian
Conservation Corps, he joined the Army
during World War II. Believed to be the
oldest World War II veteran on the Eastern Shore, he was recognized for Superior Service in the European, African-Middle Eastern Campaign, and honorably
discharged on March 23, 1946. (He was
thrilled to join other Shore veterans on a
bus trip to the World War II Memorial in
Washington several years ago.)
Mr. Goldstine and his family moved
to Baldwinsville, N.Y., where he was an
agent for John Hancock Life Insurance.
His wife died after 32 years of marriage.
During a Florida retirement with
his second wife, Jeanette Blandon Orr
Goldstine, he gave countless hours of
his time shredding paper at the Hospice hospital in Palm Beach.
In 2003, after 28 years of marriage,
his second wife died and Mr. Goldstine
moved to his military grandson’s unoccupied home next door to son Jim and
wife Dawn. He shared the home with
family members, Marguerite Rulison,
and Gerda Halbig. A regular attendee
of Bethel U.M. Church in Jamesville,
and despite the decline of his vision, Mr.
Goldstine continued to volunteer as a
paper shredder at Shore Memorial Hospital in Nassawadox. He laughed off his
disability, asking, “What’s better than
a blind shredder?” As Mr. Goldstine’s
strength failed, he reluctantly gave up
volunteering. Almost one year ago, he
became a resident of Heritage Hall.
The Masonic Order, like that of his
father, was his other passion. He received his 50-year Masonic pin from
Broadwater Lodge in Nassawadox.
Always an optimist with an indomitable spirit, Mr. Goldstine was a generous
man who was much loved. This will be
celebrated at his memorial service at 2
p.m. Sunday, Feb. 22, at Doughty Funeral Home in Exmore, with Rev. Paul Oh
and Rev. Judith Worthington officiating.
Mr. Goldstine is survived by his son,
James Goldstine (and wife, Dawn) of Occohannock Neck; step-daughter, Leslie
Pettit of Idaho; sister-in-law, Carol Preston of Bluffon, N.Y.; brother-in-law, James
Richardson (and wife, Norma) of Norfolk,
Va.; grandchildren, Chris Goldstine (and
wife, Linda) of Occohannock Neck and
Shara Walden (and husband, Jeffrey) of
Freeville, N.Y.; great-grandchildren, Matthew Goldstine of Richmond, Va., Grace
Walden and Trevor Walden of Freeville;
and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins across the country. He was predeceased by a step-son, Bruce Orr; a brother, Robert Goldstine, Madeline Goldstine;
two sisters, Alma Cuccuruto, and Katherine Callen; his mother-in-law, Margaret
Mary Richardson; and his father-in-law,
Frank Cummings Richardson.

Dr. Madge Nickerson Dunn May,
96, of Pungoteague, after a long
life dedicated to
family, the practice of medicine,
and public health,
passed away Friday, Feb. 13, 2015.
Born in Richmond, Va., she
was the daughter
Dr. May
of Robert George
Dunn and Beatrice Nickerson Dunn.
She graduated from the College of William & Mary in 1940, and in 1945, took
a medical degree from Medical College of Virginia. She trained in pediatrics, and then practiced medicine at
King’s Daughters Children’s Clinic in
Norfolk. Dr. May entered public health
and became acting director of Richmond Health Department. In 1963,
she earned a Master’s Degree in Public Health from the University of North
Carolina. Dr. May was the first full-time
health director for the new City of Virginia Beach, where she was instrumental in establishing drug outreach and
mental health clinics, and served on
the Board of Mental Health and Retardation. She also served on the Board
of Visitors of Eastern Virginia Medical School during its founding. Dr. May
then ran a screening clinic in Newport
News before retiring to the Eastern
Shore, where she continued to give her
time and talents to pediatric care.
Widowed early in marriage, Dr. May
raised six children in a house that was
the “neighborhood gathering place” for
their friends, many of whom claimed
her as their second Mom. She got all
her children through college, and spent
her retirement years running essentially summer camps for her grandchildren. To the end, she kept a warm sense
of humor, enjoyed all her offspring,
and maintained an interest in current
events and the world around her.
Dr. May leaves family and friends
profoundly touched by a life that never
wavered or shrank in the face of adversity, yet was wise and understanding, that
saw the worth of all people, that did not
judge others, and that believed all children have a right to be simply children.
Survivors include her children, Betty

Anne W. Corson
Mrs. David W. (Anne) Corson,
homemaker, teacher, librarian, birder
and flower show judge, died peacefully
in her sleep Monday, Feb. 16, 2015.
Born to Amzi Chapin and Laura Morford McLean, she grew up in Pennington, N.J., and earned undergraduate
and graduate degrees in home economics, from Simmons College and Columbia
University. While teaching school during
World War II, she began corresponding
with her landlord’s
cousin, Dave Corson, a Signal Corps
photographer stationed in the South
Pacific. When she
saw her wartime
pen pal for the first
time as he came
up the walk, she
claimed that she
couldn’t possibly be
interested in that
Mrs. Corson
fat little man. She
soon realized he was, in fact, more than
interesting, and that his excess weight
was the transient result of Army food
for this nationally-ranked tennis player.
They were married in 1946, and she began life as a photographer’s wife, traveling the country on photo shoots. Though
worried that a child would hamper their
camping trips, they soon found that their
son and three daughters were portable.
When Anne’s parents retired to Virginia’s
Eastern Shore, the young Corson family
found a home base to raise a family. Dave
and Anne restored an old farm house in
Locustville, with Anne winning awards
for her “modern” 1950s kitchen design.
As her four children grew, she found time
to combine her love of books and belief
in public education into a second career
in library science. Anne volunteered many hours to fund-raise for the new public library and worked part-time on the
Eastern Shore Public Library’s Bookmobile, enjoying the interaction with readers up and down the Shore. She served
as the school librarian for Parksley High
School, then Parksley Middle School, and
ultimately as the library coordinator for
Accomack County Public School System.
Anne made a lifelong study of horticulture, gardening and floral design.

With a particular love of daffodils, she
became an accredited daffodil judge
and a National Council Flower Show
judge. She won awards for her daffodils in mid-Atlantic flower shows, and
received a Silver Medal for leadership
and service in 2000 from the American Daffodil Society. She was a longtime member of Holy Trinity Episcopal
Church, and was active in Daughters
of the American Revolution, the Woman’s Club of Accomack County and Ye
Accawmacke Garden Club. Anne is remembered by her children, grandchildren and friends for her appreciation
of the natural world and belief in the
best of humanity.
She was predeceased by her husband of 61 years, David Corson, and is

did “some book work, cooking, household duties like
washing clothes, etc.”
“I was in California Friday and the temperature
was 90 degrees,” Dudley said. “Saturday I came
home to COLD, COLD WEATHER. Needless to say I
have no desire to go out in this cold, to play or work.”
Vic Peppler of Captain’s Cove got six inches of
snow. Due to illness, he stayed home from work and
watched movies and played on the Internet. But he
did also wind up shoveling the porch and brushing
off the cars.
“Looks to be between seven and eight inches, but
I didn’t hunt down a ruler to check exactly,” said
Connie Burford of Bloxom. She ventured “across the
street to deliver snow cream to my Uncle Ricky. That
was hazardous enough on foot.”
“Me, play in the snow?” she said. “Nah. I am more
of a snow watcher then a snow player. I like watching
it come down and the way it makes everything looks
so peaceful and tranquil for about the first day or
two. The first time it starts melting and that muddy
stuff shows up, I am completely over it and looking
for the spring thaw.”
Burford said she would get out when “school
opens up or we run out of toilet paper and Mountain
Dew. Other then that, we are good.” Another resident said there was about six inches
of snow on the seaside of Eastville. “I shoveled our
farm out before going to church” at Cheriton Baptist.
“Shoveling was fun with a layer of ice on top and
the snow freezing on the shovel,” he added.
“Out again this a.m.” a Virginia Department of
Transportation worker wrote in an email. “Apparently there are some pretty self-sufficient and neighborly people on the Shore who run their own tractors
and plows clearing snow on back roads where VDOT
hasn’t gotten to it yet!! Plus the chicken trucks always seem to get through and make tracks to follow.”
Joyce Green of Parksley reported six inches “and
in some spots a little bit higher … there are a lot of
advantages to having a home office. One disadvantage - NO snow days! So, it was just another day at
the office for me, with a little break now and then to
take the dogs out. Work, work and more work.” Her
plan for that night was taking “time to curl up on the
sofa with a good book and wait for ‘NCIS.’ ”
“If it wasn’t for the dogs, I would not leave my house
when it’s this cold!” Green added. “Bring on spring.”
A man from the Deep Hole area of Chincoteague
said snow measured seven inches there and the
“main roads cleared quickly. … I got out right away.
It’s a winter wonderland! Hurray!”
“The only downside around Chincoteague is how
the cold weather is affecting people’s water pipes,” he
continued. “Some damage and lots of dripping faucets. Can’t blame the snow for this. Maybe it even
helps. And there are spectacular Arctic mini-icebergs
in waters along the bays.”
Linda Regula of Machipongo saw four to five inches of snow. She’s retired and didn’t have to leave the
house. “I’m not going to put others in danger with my
driving on these roads,” she said. Regula passed the
time binge-watching “Rizoli and Isles” and baking. “I
do not like snow or cold so I stay in where it is warm
and watch other people play.”
When will she get out? “When they get the roads
clear or it melts. I have plenty of food, water and
wine, so I’m good.”

CHALLENGE TO THE NORTHAMPTON COUNTY SUPERVISORS:
CORRECT US IF WE ARE WRONG!!
Over the past 18 months or so, the Northampton County Board of Supervisors (BOS) has been working to completely rewrite
the current county zoning ordinance, which governs land use in the county. The BOS is now in the process of finally informing the
citizens on the details of their unilateral plan. The next “Public Information Session” is scheduled for 7-10pm on February 25th at
Occohannock Elementary School. Note that the County Administrator is pushing the BOS to adopt a final draft (after briefly
“considering” our input on the draft ordinance) by March 4, 2015 - that’s just 5 working days after hearing our thoughts on their
plans.
A recurring chorus by the BOS and members of the Planning Department is that those who oppose the rezoning plan do so
simply because they fail to understand what the proposed zoning ordinance really means for the future of
Northampton County. To clear up our “confusion”, several weeks ago the county’s economic development director widely
distributed a 20+ page “Public Information Paper”, which is available on the county’s website. But, even a quick read of this
document leads us to believe that it is either intentionally misleading, or it is indeed the county officials who really don’t fully
understand the implications of the proposed zoning ordinance.
So to settle this issue once and for all, we are going to present our understanding of the draft zoning document and the
implications thereof, and officially challenge the Board of Supervisors to refute or correct the information that we are
presenting below:
#1- The current zoning ordinance permits uses on agricultural lands that pertain to farming and forestry, and
encourages conservation of soil and sustainable farming practices. The proposed zoning ordinance lists the following as permitted
uses on agricultural lands: prisons; dredge spoil disposal sites; airfields; heliports; waste water treatment plants; mining of soil and
other natural resources; wind turbine farms; large scale chicken houses; government offices; and research facilities (among many
other non-farming uses). Most important to know is that a permitted use called “waste related” is being allowed in agricultural
districts. This can allow medical, hazardous, and municipal waste incinerators, waste storage and processing plants, and more with
a mere bang of the gavel by the sitting Board;
#2- The county is planning to eliminate Town Edge Districts, which allow towns to have a role in approving what uses are
encouraged on the edge of town, where town services will be needed. They are proposing to rezone most of these lands to
agriculture. See #1 above to understand what this could mean to the incorporated towns and their residents;
#3- The county is proposing to reduce the shoreline width of waterfront lots, with some lots being reduced from the current
250’ width to as little as 60’. Reduced shoreline widths can negatively impact the aquaculture industry and water quality, possibly
causing increased pollution and nitrification from septic systems and lawn fertilizers;
#4- The county is proposing to eliminate minimum lot coverage limits (paving), allowing the covering of the permeable soils
critical to the recharge of our drinking water supplies;
#5- If you live in a Hamlet or Village, commercial, recreational, and even industrial uses will be allowed in those
districts, which are not permitted now;
#6- Many uses that currently require a Special Use Permit (notification to neighbors) will be eliminated. Judging by the
recent rubber stamping of a special use permit granted to Kiptopeke Villas, this process is already being gutted (except by
Supervisor Hogg).
These are just a few of the many changes proposed by the county that could change our rural quality of life forever. We
encourage the BOS to refute the above facts, and encourage all of the readers of this page to get very involved in this issue, as
the clock is ticking. Send your comments asking them to be made part of the record before it closes to
“[email protected]”.

Perdue Farms representatives present a $10,000 Arthur W. Perdue Foundation grant to the Eastern Shore Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
Pictured are (from left): Kevin Dennis, director of Perdue operations in
Accomac; Bel Holden, Perdue Human Resources manager; and ESCADV
representatives Carol Tunstall, treasurer; Peaches Dodge, board president; and Kristi Lawton, executive director.
ESCADV
The Arthur W. Perdue Foundation,
the charitable arm of Perdue Farms,
recently awarded a $10,000 grant to
the Eastern Shore Coalition Against
Domestic Violence (ESCADV).
The grant will help the coalition expand counseling services to children
affected by domestic violence, provide
much-needed space for children’s services, and fund outreach and education
initiatives.
“Domestic violence is a very serious,
but preventable, crime,” said Peaches
Dodge, board president of ESCADV. “It
is also more than a crime against just
the victim. It is a crime against all of
us as a community, and it requires a
collective community response. This is
why we are so honored to have Perdue,
a major local employer, partner with us
to help address and combat this issue
on the Eastern Shore.”
Kevin Dennis, director of Perdue operations in Accomac, said in presenting
the grant, “The programming of the co-

The Commission for the Arts has
awarded the Northampton County Education Foundation a grant to help support
an upcoming concert benefiting the foundation’s work in Northampton schools.
According to Crosby Johnson, chairman of the Board of Directors, “This is
the first in a series of cultural enhancement and high-quality arts opportunities the foundation will be sponsoring
here on the Shore. All proceeds will support scholarships, teacher grants, and
special event activities in Northampton County Public Schools. Twenty-five
tickets will be distributed to students
involved with music programs at all
four Northampton schools.”
The concert will feature the Wren

The four members are performing artist
faculty of the College of William & Mary,
playing harpsichord, baroque violin, viola

Susan Via of the group recently
said, “Our baroque group thoroghly enjoyed performing in the Cokesbury series several years ago. We look forward
to having another opportunity to bring
baroque music to the Eastern Shore.”
The concert will be held May 3 at
3 p.m. at Franktown United Methodist Church. Tickets are $20 each and
will go on sale March 16. Tickets can
be purchased at The Book Bin in Onley
and any of the Rayfield’s Pharmacies.
Hospice
Hospice and Palliative Care of the Eastern Shore
has received a $2,500 donation from Accomack County
farmer Danny Mills and America’s Farmers Grow Communities, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund. The donation will help the organization provide caregiver and bereavement support to hospice patients and their families. It also will support community groups and workshops that focus on specific topics like grief and loss, or
caring for loved ones who have life-limiting illnesses.
Mozella Francis, administrator at Hospice, explained,
“Hospice is here to help patients live life as fully as possible and to support their families throughout the process. The purpose of a support group is to give participants a sense that they are not alone in their sorrow.”
“They help alleviate a lot of the stress and the sorrow of losing a loved one,” said Ann Mills, wife of winning farmer Danny Mills. The family chose to donate
to Hospice because it was an organization that they
had seen in action many times. Said Mills, “They will

life on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
At Perdue, we are happy to be able to
support their education and outreach
services through this grant.”
“Our shelter is constantly running
at capacity and we typically house
more children than adults,” said Cristi
Lawton, ESCADV’s executive director.
“We want to help children cope with
the traumatic effects of domestic violence and foster resiliency and healing.” Lawton said the coalition’s goal is
to break the intergenerational cycle of
family violence. “Perdue’s support will
help fund the work of our new Children’s Services coordinator and help
provide the space we need to provide
counseling services.”
The remainder of funds will be used
to support ESCADV’s operations and
for community outreach and primary prevention efforts to raise awareness about the causes of domestic violence and to educate about healthy
relationships.
come out to someone’s house so that the patient can
be comfortable in their own home, and they always
answer questions from the patient’s family. They are
very good to have around in a difficult time, and we
thought they really deserved the donation.”
For five years, America’s Farmers Grow Communities has collaborated with farmers to donate over
$16.5 million to over 7,300 community organizations
across rural America. This year, winning farmers
will direct another $3.3 million to nonprofits.

Bloxom Jr.
n this week’s legislative
update, I would like to
concentrate on the bills
about which I have received
the most emails. The emails
are coming from around the
state and country, not necessarily just the 100th District.
First, I would like to explain several reasons that
I might vote against a bill.
The first and most obvious is I am philosophically opposed to the bill. Another reason I might vote
against a bill is the intent of the bill. I may agree
with the legislation, but the execution of the new law
would be problematic. Other reasons might be the
bill is poorly written as to cause confusion or actually
do more harm than good. These are but a few reasons
to vote a bill down. Now to the bills causing the most
emails generated.
The first two bills I would like to address are
SB1154 and SB1071, which are concerned with
I
the discharge of harmful substances into state
waters and the reporting requirements to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). I voted
against both of these bills for a number of reasons.
SB 1154 would require a person to report a spill in
12 hours, down from 24 hours, and allow the DEQ
to advertise the spill on TV, radio, newspaper and
the Internet.
My issue with the change of reporting is that the
EPA requires a person to report a spill in 24 hours.
The varying reporting time for each agency adds unnecessary confusion. I am interested in simplicity
and feel as though the reporting time needs to be the
same for both parties. I also feel if there is a health
concern with the spill, then the Health Department
needs to be in control of media briefings. SB 1071
would have raised the penalty the DEQ could assess
from $10,000 to $25,000 without taking a person to
court. I do not want to equip the DEQ with a bigger stick than they already have. Both of these bills
failed in committee. Another bill that I voted no was HB1287, the forfeiture of property used in connection with the commission of a crime. This bill passed the House and is
self-identified business people, one
CPA, two educators, and one retired
law-enforcement officer as an example
of the diversity of experience.
There are 10 Baptists, four Methodists, five Episcopalians, and four Roman Catholics among others. Twentyone Virginia senators were born in Virginia; the rest are scattered with places
of birth throughout the United States,
as well as England and Germany. The
youngest member of the Senate is Sen.
Tom Garrett from the 22nd District,
Buckingham County and other areas. He is 42 years old. The oldest member
is Chuck Colgan, who will finally be retiring this year. Sen. Colgan represents
Manassas and Prince William, and has
been in the state Senate since 1976. He
is 89 years old. There are seven women
in the state Senate.
We begin shepherding our bills
through the House of Delegates which
means a 7 a.m. subcommittee meeting
in order to deal with the volume and
complete our business as quickly as
possible. In my next report, I will be
able to provide an update on the progress of my legislation and other important bills.
I will be in Richmond until Feb. 28. Please do not hesitate to contact me by
telephone at (804) 698-7506 or by email
at [email protected]
now in the Senate. This proposed legislation would
change the asset forfeiture laws. Considering I am
unaware of any problems on the Eastern Shore with
this, I voted no. It appears to be a federal law-enforcement problem. Any change in these laws would
need to be coupled with a funding mechanism to our
local sheriffs’ departments. Lastly, my office received multiple emails and
calls regarding HB1488 relating to conservation
easements. I voted against this bill because I feel a
land deed restriction dispute will result in going to
court and does not need to go through the additional step of the dispute resolution bureaucracy set up
by the Virginia Outdoor Foundation. This bill passed
and has been sent to the Senate. As the Hon. George
N. McMath says, “You win some, you lose some.”
I always strive to represent the issues that are
important to you. To that end, please email me at
[email protected] or call the office in
Richmond at (804)698-1000 or my district office at
(757)824-3456 with any questions, comments or concerns. Make sure to include your phone number and
mailing address. Thank you for the opportunity to
represent you in the House of Delegates.

J
ack Mason’s life can be summed
up in the last paragraph of his
first biographical book, “Round
Trip Ticket to Hell.”
“Being Jack Mason these last eight
years hadn’t been particularly easy,
but it seemed to be turning out all
right. It was complicated, time consuming, frightening, frustrating and
educational, but it sure as hell hadn’t
been dull!”
I always referred to Jack as “my favorite letter writer” in the days I edited a newspaper. And, in fact, Jack had
a brief foray as a screenwriter in Hollywood and worked for two newspapers
and a trade journal before embarking
on a successful career in real estate.
But writing is something he returned to in retirement, publishing
two autobiographical books and five
novels.
Writing was where Jack got to display his devilish wit and charm. He
never lacked for an opinion either, and
writing was where he could cleverly
make his point.
Of course, Jack’s life was defined
by the crippling polio he contracted at
the age of 15. That was the start of six
years of hospitals, rehabilitation centers and muscle transplants. Somehow
in that period, he acquired an education at St. James School and Washington & Lee University, and not all of it
in the classroom.
Ned Ames, a childhood friend of Mason, said last week at a Celebration of
Life service following Mason’s recent
death at the age of 81, “I entered Washington & Lee the year Jack graduated
from there. I am telling you, the man
was a legend on campus.”
Jack lived life to the fullest because
he wasn’t even supposed to be alive.
Jack Mason and his Battle with Polio
Early on in his polio crisis, his temperature stayed over 103 degrees and flirted
with 105. Efforts to reduce the fever
were unsuccessful. Doctors said if the
fever persisted, there would be serious
brain damage and ultimately death.
His baseball hero since an early age
had been Ted Williams of the Boston
Red Sox. Jack’s uncle, Tom Scarburgh,
ran the local phone company at the
time and made calls to Washington,
D.C., where the Red Sox were playing
the Senators.
Uncle Tom located Williams and
explained that a young boy who worshipped him was on his death bed. The
fever reached 105 about the time a special messenger arrived with a baseball
that had written on it, “To Jack Mason,
Good Luck, Ted Williams.”
Jack writes in his book, “My mind
was giddy, but I knew what I held in
my hand. When a voice on the other
side of the glass asked me to hold it up,
I did it ever so gently, so as no to hit
myself in the mouth. No one had to ask
me to smile. A flash camera popped,
and the next edition of the Richmond
Times-Dispatch had a picture and an
article about the Boston slugger sending a baseball to a polio victim. The
story in the Isolation Ward was of a
boy whose temperature dropped from
105 to almost normal in 12 hours.”
Jack emerged from a pain-wracked
existence to live an active life with
only the use of braces for support when
walking.
He fished with friends at Ditchbank
and hunted with the same at Pungo.
Wayne Browning, one of his best
friends, recalls, “One day at Ditchbank
we were catching these big trout, and
he was trying to shake a spot off the
line to get it back over for a trout. The
spot fell into the boat, and it turned
out to be the biggest spot caught in the
state that year.”
Jack Mason in his college days at
Washington & Lee University.
I wrote a story on the 1975 trip
Wayne and Jack took to the World Series, when his beloved Red Sox were
playing the Cincinnati Reds.
This wasn’t just any trip, however.
Jack’s childhood friend, Ron Dobson, was
an advertising executive for NBC, and
Wayne and Jack got the VIP treatment.
Wayne said last week, “We rode on
the team bus with the Red Sox to the
game. By the end of the week, someone came up to us and said, ‘I know you
aren’t owners, because that’s the only
party I haven’t seen you at, but who
are you, anyway?’ ”
Wayne and Jack had much fun
reminiscing about the trip years later,
especially around H.B. Rew, who was
invited but could not go.
One boyhood dream Jack shared
with Dobson was a boat trip along the
Intercoastal Waterway. Lucius Kellam
granted that wish when he asked Jack
and some friends to accompany him on
a trip from Stuart, Fla., to Occohannock
Creek on his Post yacht.
With the boat stocked with vast
quantities of food and all kinds of beverages, plus a couple of decks of playing cards, Jack wrote, the men had a
ball, even if tempers got a bit testy
when various pitfalls arose.
In 1980, Jack learned about Post
Polio Syndrome. Those who had polio
badly the first time could expect a return trip to the beginning.
Initially, the trip was slow, but in
1989, Jack’s lower left leg was amputated, his balance was gone, and his
crutches were back.
Eventually, he was confined to a
wheelchair, and the active life he once
enjoyed was gone.
Still, he persisted, managing his
business until selling it to one of his
four sons in 1997.
Six years later, he wrote his first autobiographical book, primarily about
his childhood and dealing with polio.
Two years later, he wrote “Coming Full
Circle” about his escapades and friendships in adulthood and his descent
back into the hell of polio.
Both books were dedicated to his wife
Anne, whom, he said, was a source of incredible support throughout his life.
Amid the fun of Jack’s life, however,
was important community work reenergizing the chamber of commerce,
raising money to build the public library and serving on various boards.
He also ushered many young adults
into buying their first home, including
this writer, serving as wise and trusted
counsel in addition to being the agent.
Those who knew Jack in the active
phase of his life tended to forget he
was dealing with polio. He never complained and kept up with whatever
pursuit the guys were enjoying.
Even he wrote, “Yes, polio wiped out
nerve endings and weakened some and
destroyed other muscles. But polio made
me strong. It made me determined.”

BA Falls in OT
Story and photos by Bill Sterling
Broadwater lost a 64-57 overtime decision last
Friday to Hampton Christian that may cost the Vikings a spot in the state playoffs. The road loss left
the Vikings at 11-13 and possibly just outside the top
12 teams who will compete in the state playoffs. Last
year the Vikings made it to the Final Four with five
seniors in the starting lineup. The Vikings’ top four
scorers this year are juniors.
It was junior Tyler Major who tied the game in
regulation with a drive to the basket while being
fouled with 12 seconds remaining. His free throw
knotted the score, and good defense by the Vikings
prevented Hampton Christian from getting a good
shot at the buzzer.
“We probably played our best game of the season,”
said Viking coach Eddie Spencer. “Hampton Christian is one of the stronger teams in the conference,
but they knew they were in a game tonight.
The Vikings were led by Taylor Major with 17
points. John Gordon had a season-high 15 points,
and Major Morgan added 10.
Broadwater, a sixth seed in the Metro Conference,
was scheduled to play Hampton Christian again last
night in the conference tournament at Portsmouth.
Broadwater did not have enough firepower to stay
with powerful Williamsburg Christian last Thursday
in a 76-47 home loss.
Taylor Major led the Vikings with 19 points, followed by Major Morgan with 16 points. Tyler Major
added 9.
BA’s Weatherly Impresses
at 757 Football Showcase
Taylor Major rises to get off a shot against Williamsburg Christian last week. Major led the
Vikings with 19 points.
Vikings Girls Downed by WC
Broadwater, playing without senior leader Kathleen
Kraft who was injured in the previous game, put up a
good fight in losing 44-36 last Thursday at home to
Williamsburg Christian, always one of the top teams
in the Metro Conference and owner of a 97-game conference win streak until it was snapped this year.
Palmer Smith had a trio of 3-pointers in scoring a
team-high 17 points. Anna Sexauer added 13 as the
pair scored all but 6 of the Lady Vikings’ points.
Imani Bryant led WC with 16 points.
Conference Games Postponed
Williamsburg’s Imani Bryant (right) grabs a rebound as Broadwater’s Anna Sexauer defends.
At press time, the slate of Conference 41 and Conference 33 games involving Eastern Shore District games
was up in the air with the possibility games could be
canceled if students do not return to school this week.
Nandua athletic director Gary Reese said Wednesday the conference tournament could be reduced to
the top four seeds if play started Friday or later. He
also said there was the possibility of sending top seeds
directly to regional play, which is set to start next
week. The Arcadia boys were a number 2 seed and
were to receive a bye. Nandua girls were a top seed.
Northampton athletic director Rich Wilfong said
it was doubtful Conference 41 games, which also include Chincoteague, could be played this week.
Dontae Weatherly, a 6’1” 290pound lineman who played for
Broadwater this past season, was
featured in a Recruit757 online
story recently after attracting attention at the recruit757 Uncommitted Senior Showcase.
Weatherly, a junior who will
be a key member of the Viking
team next season, attended the
showcase on Jan. 19 and received
Weatherly
interest from several colleges,

including Hampton University, Mizelle/recruit757
Mount St. Joseph, St Olaf and SUNY-Maritime, whose head coach, Klayton KendrickHolmes, has visited Weatherly and his parents at his
house, citing the benefits of the Division III school.
In the 2014 season, Weatherly had 44 tackles,
seven tackles for a loss, one sack, five hurries, one
forced fumble and two fumble recoveries while playing on the defensive line. He also played on the offensive line.
Broadwater coach Noble Palmer said Weatherly
“has an unbelievable work ethic. … Dontae has reconditioned his body and improved his footwork by
working as hard in the weight room as anyone we’ve
had here in a long time. We are counting on him for
big things next year.”
Palmer added that Weatherly is a good student
who also works hard in the classroom.

Tax Map Parcel #111A2-A-38, the owners being Betty
A. Beckmann, Christine Snook, and Mark Snook, to
amend Article II of the zoning ordinance of the Town of
Painter to add a new definition as §II-5.1 for “airpark”
to be defined as “a facility requiring neither federal nor
state licenses for takeoffs and landings of ultra-light and
light-sport, light-utility aircraft, and associated gliders
and unpowered aircraft, such aircraft not to exceed 1750
pounds empty weight.”
(2) At the public hearing, the town bodies will receive
public comment regarding a proposal, contingent upon
approval of proposal (1) above, from William S. McCarter, agent for the aforesaid owners of Accomack County
Tax Map Parcel #111A2-A-38, to amend Article III of the
zoning ordinance of the Town of Painter to add a new
paragraph D to §III-4.3 to allow airparks in the agricultural district by special use permit obtained from the

Council, and the Town Council may act upon the proposals and recommendations without further notice.
In the event that either of the meetings or the public
hearing stated above cannot be held as planned on
March 9, 2015, for lack of a quorum of either or both of

Y
es, I love snow. Call me crazy
but please don’t blame me for
the blizzard and snowstorms
that have occurred in the last week.
My previous column confessed that I
gave up on winter since it HAD been
so mild this year.
No. I did not do a snow dance nor did
I pray for this.
But while we are all freezing
and getting our fill of snow cream,
I thought I would share my tropical story about the Eastern Shore.
Absolutely, it is not a complete tale
of the all-numbing cold tundra that
has occurred of late in Accomack and
Northampton counties.
I know the suspense is killing you,
so I’ll just get to it.
Down a neck near Painter there is a
pineapple plant growing. Oh yeah! It’s
at my house!
Four years ago I bought some pine-

Support for Clean Water Vital
Dear Editor:
Now is the time for Virginians to stand up for clean
water. On Feb. 4, a joint hearing attacked the Environmental Protection Agency’s Waters of the United States
rule intended to close loopholes in the Clean Water Act.
This rule will protect the 28,000 miles of streams in
Virginia that are vulnerable to unchecked pollution.
Like many Virginians, my love for the Chesapeake
began with childhood vacations on the Shore, but continues to grow as I learn how vital clean waterways
are to our health, economy, and environment. That is
why it is imperative that all Virginians voice support
for the restoration of Clean Water Act protections.
To protect the bay and the livelihood of Hampton Roads, residents must demand that our senators
speak out publicly in support of clean water.

The Arc Thanks Foundation
Dear Editor:
The Arc-Eastern Shore of Virginia, rebranded from
ARC, sends a heartfelt “Thank You!” to the Eastern
Shore of Virginia Community Foundation for a grant
of $1,665 to purchase a new computer system and
printer and update programs.
The Arc has been a voice in our local community
for over 50 years, working toward “A Life Like Yours”
for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, helping to provide the services and support
they need, here on the Shore.
I am thrilled to report that with this new purchase,
The Arc can access information not previously available through affiliates, improve communications with
donors and members, and more efficiently advocate
for national and state policies and legislation.
Suzanne Joyner, secretary, The Arc
apples from a local grocery store, cut
the tops off and prepped them for eating. I took those tops and planted them
in soil and babied them outside in the
blistering heat of summers and inside
in the winters.
Last year I put them outside too early and thought the plants were a goner
when they got too cold. Nope. They are
flourishing green and now the largest
in the group has fruit.
YES! I am growing a pineapple.
Oh yippee! See the attached photo
and then picture yourself on that
tropical island where a balmy breeze
is blowing across your half-naked
body and remember that spring will
be here soon.
County Information Misleading
Dear Editor:
It is apparent that the Northampton County Board
of Supervisors, as orchestrated by Parliamentarian/
Administrator Katie Nunez, has the pedal pressed
firmly to the floor and is speeding toward a checkered flag in a race to completely rezone our county
into something it was never meant to be. They claim
that in order to keep on schedule, the board will have
to vote on the 200-page zoning revision by March 4.
Claiming that the citizens are misinformed, and are
misinforming others regarding the hundreds of proposed changes to the current zoning, the county website directs citizens to access the “Citizen Information
Paper” recently penned by Economic Development Director Charles McSwain and distributed to town, village, and other officials. It spends many pages refuting
claims by parties engaged in this debate.
One of the primary issues discussed by Mr. McSwain
is the claim that a new wide variety of invasive uses
would be allowed in agricultural lands. So on Page 16,
he presents a list of uses in agricultural lands that will
be allowed by right (no notice to abutting landowners,
no public hearing), and those that will require a specialuse permit. But in his list of uses permitted “by right,”
McSwain conveniently omits proposed uses, such as
“commercial hunting, government offices, migrant labor camps, research facilities, wind turbine farms with
towers up to 199’ tall, basic utility, museums, intensive
farming and husbandry (chicken houses) and more.
Not too bad, all in all, compared to what uses will be
permitted via a special-use permit.
On the same page of his Citizen Information Paper, McSwain seemingly conveniently omits from the
allowable uses on agricultural lands the following:
prisons, dredge spoil sites, heliports, airfields, mining and excavating of soil or other natural resources
(like oil or gas); wastewater treatment plants, utility
distribution yard or plant, and a dubious new use
called “waste related,” which can include municipal,
medical, and hazardous waste incinerators, as well
as storage facilities for any type of waste.
McSwain’s Citizen Information Paper is replete with
similar misdirection. I bring up the uses on agricultural land here, as it directly affects every town resident in
the county. You see, the board and Nunez are proposing
to eliminate Town Edge Districts, which in the current
ordinance envisions the town and county working cooperatively to shape and protect the lands around the
towns, encouraging developers to offset town services while ensuring compatible growth with the town’s
comprehensive plan. The county is proposing to rezone
most land around towns into agricultural districts.
It is ironic that the recurring mantra from the
Northampton Planning and Economic Development
Department is that citizens are grossly misinformed
and do not understand the intent and spirit of the proposed Zoning Ordinance now on hyper-track. Judging
by the reams of misinformation in McSwain’s Citizen
Information Paper, we think that criticism is misplaced.
