Bundick has a new lawyer and likely soon will have a new trial date.

On Tuesday, Judge Glen A. Tyler of Accomack Circuit Court granted East-ville husband-and-wife attorneys Shan-non and Garrett Dunham’s motion to withdraw from defending Bundick. He also continued the cases.

The 40-year-old Hopeton woman was indicted by an Accomack Grand Jury on a count of deliberately set-ting fire to an unoccupied Melfa house and conspiracy to commit the crime

on April 1. Her fiancé, Charles Rob-ert Smith III, also known as Charlie Applegate, 38, who lived with Bundick when the alleged arson occurred, was indicted on 68 charges — 67 for arson and one for conspiracy.

Nearly 80 suspicious fires were re-ported in Accomack from November 2012 to April 2013. Smith confessed to setting a majority of the blazes, accord-ing to court documents. He told police Bundick set 15 blazes.

Following Tuesday’s court proceed-ings, Tyler informally appointed Allan Zaleski of Norfolk to take Bundick’s

cases. He had not yet signed the court order when he disclosed his decision. The judge announced in open court that the Nov. 6 trial also would have to be continued to allow the new appoin-tee time to prepare. A new date was not set at press time.

Tyler believed he already had ap-pointed Garrett Dunham to the case but learned in mid-October that an or-der to that effect was never drawn up. He then officially appointed Garrett Dunham. That move came after Shan-non Dunham asked for a continuance of the case and when that was denied,

asked that she be allowed to withdraw from it; both requests were denied. Ty-ler said that action “may have precipi-tated the motion I have today.”

“We thought very hard about this motion,” Garrett Dunham told Ty-ler. “It doesn’t bring us any peace. We would like to continue to represent Ms. Bundick” but we “can’t see how it is possible” since another client’s interest will keep them “from fully represent-ing another. It is with a heavy heart that I ask to withdraw from this case. This has nothing to do with our belief

Zaleski Named Legal Counsel for Arson Suspect Bundick

Story and photos by Linda CicoiraNearly a year after the notorious ar-

son spree began in Accomack County, Charles Robert Smith III, a former vol-unteer fire department captain, stood up in the county’s circuit court Thurs-day and pleaded guilty to deliberately setting 67 buildings ablaze.

Smith’s white jailhouse jumpsuit bore a stark contrast to the dark cloth-ing he wore as camouflage as he ran out into the night from behind the last structure to be damaged in the binge on April 1, 2013, near Melfa.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Gary R. Agar and defense lawyer Carl Bundick submitted a summary of the case that was said to list each charge, location, date, property owner’s name and cor-responding video confession of Smith.

After pleading guilty to 68 arson-related counts, Charles Robert Smith III is escorted back to Accomack Jail Thursday by Capt. Todd Wessells and Maj. Shane Childress of Accomack County Sheriff’s Office. Smith was bombarded with questions from the press as he walked across the street to the jail.

… in Ms. Bundick.”When asked, Commonwealth’s At-

torney Gary Agar told Tyler that he is “not in a position to say anything” about the motion.

According to court records, “on Oct. 23 at approximately 3:45 p.m., a situation arose wherein another client … divulged information that limits defense counsel’s ability to fully represent the defendant’s interest and creates a clear conflict as to the representation of both clients,” the Dunhams wrote in their motion.

The couple contacted the Virginia State Bar on Oct. 24. “After fully explain-ing in detail the situation,” a bar repre-sentative “confirmed that defense coun-sel needed to withdraw from both clients’ cases.” The other client was not identified.

“Waiver of the conflict is not possible in this case, as confidential client infor-mation would need to be shared with each client in order to obtain such a waiver and would be in violation of the rules of professional conduct,” the mo-tion stated.

Tyler said that while the bar is avail-

able to give advice on ethics, it “cannot make a decision about a motion. That is up to the judge.” Tyler then asked Bundick if she had any objection to withdrawal of her legal counsel. She quietly answered, “No.”

The judge said he did not have a right to inquire about the conflict of interest. Tyler added that he would have to make some phone calls to find a replacement. At that point, Shannon Dunham stood up to speak.

“I don’t want any suggestions,” Tyler said and she quickly sat down.

“The request for withdrawal is in no way the defendant’s fault and should not reflect negatively on her case,” the motion noted.

An email to the Dunham firm from Seth Guggenheim, assistant ethics counsel for the state bar, was included in the court record. It stated, “I advised you on Oct. 24, 2013 that you …have an incurable conflict of interest under rules of professional conduct … with regard to the matter we discussed.”

Tyler granted a change of venue

in early October and will conduct Bundick’s jury trial in Virginia Beach. The judge decided it would be hard to find jurors who live in Accomack or

Northampton County who aren’t rela-tives or friends of victims, police offi-cers or firefighters associated with the 67 arsons.

By Ron WestNorthampton supervisors continue

to move forward with revisions to the county’s Zoning Ordinance.

At its session Monday, County Devel-opment Director Charles McSwain pre-sented proposed changes regarding zon-ing districts and permitted activities, all of which are designed to move the coun-ty forward in such a way as to improve its business-friendly image and make it easier for residents to thread their way through the permitting process.

The supervisors agreed to table a few of the items in the plan — such as guidelines for wireless broadband an-tenna poles and accessory dwellings — for additional clarification.

One item continued from an earlier board session involved the placement of truck trailers or cargo storage units on private property in the county. Fol-lowing additional discussion and clari-fication of rules, the supervisors agreed that if a truck trailer on property is tagged and road-ready, it would be con-sidered a motor vehicle and, assuming

parking is not an issue, in most cases would be allowed. Untagged trailers or containers or those not suitable for the road would come under a different code and be limited to areas such as agricul-tural or less dense residential areas. It too was tabled for additional work.

Much of the new ordinance is de-signed to apply to new construction and questions regarding it should be directed to the county’s Development Department.

The supervisors urged the public to visit the county’s website to view the full draft version of the proposed zoning ordinance and offer them feed-back regarding it. The draft ordinance may be found at www.co.northampton.va.us/departments/planning.html

The county plans to conduct a public hearing on the Zoning Ordinance this year. No date has been set for a vote on the final version of the ordinance.

One noteworthy proposed change calls for the removal of the Chesapeake Bay Act and Land Use-Floodplain Management guides, which would be-

come separate documents rather than being interwoven in the Zoning Ordi-nance. Additionally, the Supervisors agreed that the Bay Act should apply to the bay and not to the seaside por-tion of the county. To simplify the mat-ter, the board agreed that land west of Lankford Highway would be covered by the Chesapeake Bay Act and land east of it would not.

The board agreed to accept bids re-garding the most recent delinquent tax auction, conducted Sept. 24. While not all of the properties sold resulted in the recovery of all back taxes, it was agreed that overall, the bids received would benefit the county and put additional properties back on the active tax rolls.

Supervisor Larry LeMond addressed the request of the Ad-Hoc Emergency Care Committee to engage outside con-sulting services to help formulate rec-ommendations for health care once Riv-erside Shore Memorial Hospital moves from Nassawadox to Onley.

The board voted to engage Vir-ginia Rural Health Resources Center

(VRHRC) for no more than $4,500, ex-clusive of travel costs, to study options for emergency health care. These in-clude traditional physician practices, rural health clinics, federally qualified health centers, freestanding outpatient care centers, urgent care centers, and/or a freestanding emergency department. The report will discuss the characteris-tics and staffing requirements for each option. The VRHRC report will be due to the county by Dec. 31.

RESOLUTION BE IT RESOLVED by the Northampton County Board of Supervisors, this 8th day of October, 2013, that the regular meeting of the Board, scheduled for Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 4:00 p.m., in the Board Chambers of the County Administration Building, 16404 Courthouse Road, Eastville, Virginia, be changed to Tuesday, November 19, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. in the Board Chambers of the County Administration Building, 16404 Court-house Road, Eastville, Virginia; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, following this meeting, the date, time and place of the regular meeting of the Northampton County Board of Supervisors shall revert to the second Tuesday of each month in the Board Chambers, 16404 Courthouse Road, Eastville, Virginia, at 4:00 p.m. *********** Adopted this __8_____ day of ___October____________, 2013.

By Linda CicoiraA communication committee estab-

lished to work out how a new library could be funded can’t make recom-mendations to the Accomack Board of Supervisors until the supervisors establish priorities among their space needs.

“It’s best management to look at all the needs together,” Supervisor Robert Crockett told the other committee mem-bers last week. He contends that even in a best-case scenario, waiting until 2018 or 2019 for a new library would be best to allow debt service to “lighten up. All we know is the full board has said ‘no’ to $6 million and probably ‘no’ to any new debt,” Crockett said.

He explained that in those four or five years, the debt would be $1 million less a year. Crockett said the school system and other county departments and agencies also need more room. He recently visited the school superintendent’s administra-tive assistant’s office, which is five doors down from the superintendent. “You must walk through a closet to get to a closet, which was her office.”

In addition, Crockett said $87,000 a year is spent renting space for the com-monwealth’s attorney, parks and recre-ation, public safety and public works. “We need to do something to stop mak-ing payments on rental space.”

Supervisor Reneta Major, who was among those in favor of spending for the library, agreed. “No one on the board thinks we don’t need a library. Debt service needs to be lowered. The board needs to prioritize. … I very much want a library. I think it’s imperative that we have one … there are a lot of needs. … Most citizens don’t want a tax increase.”

Barbara Coady of the library’s board of directors said she understands the supervisors’ obligations, but her board needs answers. “It’s rather bleak,” she said of the supervisors’ comments.

Library officials could look at ex-panding and renovation or building a smaller new structure. But Coady said they don’t want to spend more money for plans without a reasonable expec-tation of support. The group already spent $50,000 on the $6 million plan. And building in phases could mean never realizing the end result.

Requests for repairs and mainte-nance would have to be submitted to the supervisors for consideration at budget time, Crockett said. County Ad-ministrator Steve Miner noted that if the needs involve “safety or the integ-rity of the building,” the matter might be handled differently.

Meanwhile, the county health de-partment can’t wait. “We are required to provide them space,” Crockett said.

Shore Bank donated land for a new library with the stipulation that walls would go up by March 2016. Library Director Carol Vincent said the tract was given before nearby property was chosen for the new hospital. Now there are plans for a two- to three-story office building on other bank land, she said. “Bank regulators don’t like them to hold onto vacant property,” Vincent said.

Miner mentioned concerns about traffic congestion in the area.

“We have not paid for a traffic study,” said Vincent. “Yes, (the) walk-ability (group) wants a roundabout there to also access Food Lion.” She said it would be next to impossible to make a left turn there.

“That’s a current hub area,” Crock-ett added. “North is a future hub. If the library built there, there would be no tax revenue. If a business went there, it would generate” funds, he said of an office building.

Locating the public library at a school could be an issue, said Vincent. “We can’t exclude sex offenders.” People can carry guns, she added, noting that those issues might not be a problem at Eastern Shore Community College, which is a prospect worth exploring.

Miner said the Planning Commis-sion also should give advice about the best location.

“The conversation isn’t over,” said Crockett. Those who want a new li-brary “have caused the board to look at the entire capital improvement plan.”

Vincent said she was “happy to see the library needs included in overall space needs … since it is a place for everyone.” In the past, the library was “seen as a poor step-child,” she said.

“You certainly have developed a lot of support,” said Miner. “What we have is not what we aspire to.”

New Library Gains Support;No Commitment Yet

Jay Ford Named Shorekeeper

The Virginia Eastern Shorekeeper (VES) board of directors has named Jay Ford as its new executive direc-tor and shorekeeper. Virginia Eastern Shorekeeper has expanded the posi-tion and role with the goal of vigorous-ly growing the organization’s commit-ment and capacity to advocating for water quality along the 613 miles of coastline on Virginia’s Eastern Shore.

Ford comes to VES from the office of Sen. Ralph Northam, where he served as legislative assistant. Previously, he served as state policy director for Vir-ginia Consumer Voices for Healthcare and as a policy fellow to the Virginia General Assembly on natural resourc-es and appropriations. Ford brings over a decade of experience advocating for conservation and the environment with state and regional partners, as well as internationally.

He and his wife, Tatum Sumners Ford, live in Quinby.

Asked to comment on Ford’s ap-

pointment, Virginia Eastern Shore-keeper President Jack Ordeman said, “Jay Ford follows two men of excep-tional ability — Richard Ayers and Dave Burden — who have established VES as an organization that has done much ‘to preserve, protect and improve the tidal waters of the Virginia East-ern Shore.’ Until now, the job of shore-keeper has been a part-time position, but Jay has been hired full-time. … Jay was the unanimous choice of the VES Board, and with his leadership the or-ganization will be entering a period of ambitious expansion of our mem-bership, our programs and activities, and our influence and effectiveness as an advocate for appropriate and effec-tive conservation measures.”

“I am absolutely thrilled to come aboard as the new executive director of Virginia’s Eastern Shorekeeper,” said Ford. “There are a rare few places in this world where the citizens and the waters are so inextricably linked. I am honored to assume this essential stew-ardship position to help ensure these resources continue to serve as an eco-nomic driver and inspiration to those who call the Eastern Shore home.”

Christina Smith Weds Russell Thompson

Christina L. Smith and Russell C. Thompson were married Oct. 6, 2013, at the Historic Andrews Memorial Chapel in Dunedin, Fla.

She is a graduate of Uni-versity of Phoenix with a bachelor’s de-gree in psychology and is employed as a trainer for Pay-Plus Solutions.

The groom is the son of Gail Thompson of McMinnville, Tenn. He is a graduate of Pima Medical Insti-tute and is employed by Walgreens Infusion Services.

The maid of honor was Symone Kin-namore, step-sister of the bride. The ju-nior bridesmaid was Elena Gotay, friend of the bride and the groom. The best man was Winfred Smith, father of the bride.

The reception was an intimate, sit-down dinner.

After a honeymoon trip to Pigeon Forge, Tenn., the couple is residing in Clearwater.

Accomack Sheriff’s OfficeA man wearing a tan Halloween

mask “with large sagging eyes” is ac-cused of sexually assaulting a 25-year-old woman at Cherrystone Camp-ground Sunday.

Northampton Sheriff David Doughty said his office was alerted at about 6:30 that morning about the attack in the bathhouse near the general store and mini golf course. The suspect was de-scribed as a white male in his early 20s with short hair, about five feet, 10 inch-es tall and weighing about 140 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff ’s Office at 678-0458.

…………………………U.S. Marshals Service

A former Tasley resident waived ex-tradition in Ohio and will be returned to Northampton County to face charges of murder by a mob, malicious wounding by a mob and participation in street gang activity in connection with the death of 23-year-old Jessie Lee Jordan April 13.

John (also known as Dre and Andre) Dandre Lavon Logan, 27, who lived on Blankenship Lane in Tasley with relatives when Jordan was killed, was captured by the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) in Cincinnati, according to a statement by Marshal Robert Mathie-son of the Norfolk office.

After warrants for Logan’s arrest were issued Sept. 9, the USMS Fugitive Task Force learned that Logan had fled the area and possibly was residing with fam-ily in Ohio. The USMS Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team ar-rested Logan without incident on Oct. 23.

Indictments filed against Logan are sealed until he is taken into custody here.

The Grand Jury also indicted three Tasley brothers in July in connection with the same incident outside A&E Auto & Truck Repairs on Sylvan Scene Drive in Treherneville.

Durrell Marion Fitchett, 25, of Daugh-erty Road and Deleon Kinte Fitchett, 29, of Blankenship Lane were indicted on counts of murder by a mob (lynching), malicious wounding and participating in a criminal street gang while committing crimes against Jordan.

Durell Fitchett also was indicted on counts of first-degree murder, ma-

licious wounding by a mob and use of a firearm in the homicide.

Their half-brother, Devon Thomas Blake, 30, of Giddens Lane was in-dicted on counts of malicious wounding and malicious wounding by a mob.

Court records show Jordan died from a gunshot wound to the abdomen after being taken to Riverside Shore Memo-rial Hospital by friends. An autopsy showed he had “blunt force injuries” to his head, neck, upper torso and arms. He also had numerous cuts and bruises and a blood alcohol level of .26 percent.

Arthur Harmon, who owns and op-erates the auto shop, said there were about 40 people at a party inside when a territorial dispute occurred outside. He heard shots and went outside to see what was happening. Harmon said he saw the victim on the ground.

…………………………Northampton Sheriff’s Office A woman jogging in the Oyster area

last week was allegedly struck by a car and abducted by the driver who au-thorities believe then tried to kill her.

Stephen Ray Carpenter, 28, of Seaside Road in Capeville is being held without bond in Eastern Shore Regional Jail on charges of at-tempted murder, abduction, use of a firearm in a felony, hit and run, DUI

and driving on a suspended license. He admitted to abusing cocaine just before the crash.

Records filed in Northampton Gen-eral District Court identify the victim as Paige K. Eminhizer. Sheriff David Doughty said she was released from a hospital and is in satisfactory condition. Her age and address were not available.

According to Doughty, it is alleged that Carpenter “assaulted her with a

blunt object and then forced her into his vehicle. Several minutes later she was able to exit the vehicle and call 9-1-1.”

Carpenter told police that what happened after the crash was a mis-understanding and “he was just trying to help her,” according to court records. “Carpenter acknowledged he struck the victim on Sunnyside Road near Oyster … while he was under the influ-ence of cocaine, which he had abused about five minutes earlier.”

Doughty said that at about 5:20 p.m. Oct. 24, his department was asked to assist an ambulance because a woman had been “hit by a vehicle and assault-ed.” The victim described the vehicle and man involved. Carpenter was ar-rested around 7:30 p.m.

Investigator Terry Thomas of Northampton County Sheriff ’s Office (NCSO) is handling the case. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call NCSO at 678-0458.

…………………………Accomack Circuit Court

A Mappsville man was sentenced last week in Accomack Circuit Court to 30 years in prison for robbing Mayra Sarmiento Navra, the owner of El Cru-cero Convenience Store on Lankford Highway in Temperanceville, of about $50,000 in July 2012.

Donald Bowen Sr., 44, pleaded no contest to the charge. Judge W. Revell Lewis III suspended 10 years of the 30-year term.

Evidence showed that Bowen’s DNA was found on a stolen dollar bill. Near-ly $35,745 of the money was recovered from the defendant. The incident oc-curred at about 4:20 p.m. July 17. Bowen was on probation when he was arrested. Previously, he was convicted of robbery, probation violation, identity theft and obstruction of justice.

In another case, Shontel Devon John-son, 29, of Lankford Highway in Parks-ley was sentenced to a total of 28 years. Johnson was given 10-year suspended terms each for malicious wounding of James Tull and attempted robbery, oc-curring Jan. 28, 2012. The defendant also was given three years for use of a firearm in the robbery and five years for use of a firearm in the wounding. The weapons’ sentences are mandatory.

Stephen Douglas Miles Jr., 36, of Lynnhaven Drive in Pocomoke City, Md., was sentenced for two counts of assault and battery of Chincoteague Police Cpl. K.A. Reese to five years in prison, with three years and two months suspended. According to court records, Miles spit on, cursed at and kicked the officer on May 5, 2012.

Wilbert O. Jordan, 49, of King’s Court in Mappsville was sentenced to five years in prison for each of three counts of felo-ny shoplifting from Royal Farms in Nel-sonia. The terms are to run concurrently. Four years were suspended. The crimes occurred on May 23, June 7 and June 10. Restitution of $96 was ordered.

Alyssa Lee Beebe, 20, of Modest Town pleaded guilty to misdemeanor possession with intent to distribute less than a half-ounce of marijuana on Nov. 14, 2012. She was initially charged with distributing marijuana to a minor, a felony. Beebe was sen-tenced to 12 months in jail, with all but a month suspended. Her driver’s license was suspended for six months.

Rosa Lee Justice, also known as Rosa Lee Johnson, 53, of Nathaniel Street in Mappsville was sentenced to 10 years in prison each for distribution of crack and possession with intent to distribute crack on Sept. 25, 2012.

street gang,” has requested that evei-dence in the case be suppressed. He argues that his Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights were violated be-cause there was no probable cause for a search of him or his property, that he did not consent to the searches, that there was no reason for his arrest and that Miranda warnings were not given.

…………………………Northampton Circuit Court

Judge W. Revell Lewis ordered a pre-sentence report for Rykeem L. Jones, 19, of Commonwealth Street in Ex-more, who pleaded guilty Monday in Northampton Circuit Court of stabbing Shanice Foster on March 3 and violat-ing a protective order, and obstructing justice two days later. Foster was treat-ed at the local hospital for a stab wound to the right calf, court records state.

In another case, Purnell Jamar Ma-son Jr., 23, of Exmore was sentenced to 10 years in prison for each of two counts of malicious wounding and 12 months for assault and battery, to run concurrently, with all but a year and six months sus-pended. The crimes occurred at a night-spot in Exmore in September 2012.

Kowain Keith West, 32, of Exmore was sentenced to 10 years in prison for possession with the intent to distribute between a half-ounce and five pounds of marijuana. All but a year was suspend-ed. He also was given five years for pos-session of ammunition by a felon. Three years of that term were suspended. Probation also was revoked for previous convictions of possession of a firearm by a felon, felony eluding, discharging a firearm in a public place and driving on a suspended license, adding another eight months to his terms, for a total of three years and eight months to serve.

“I’ve been making bad decisions, but I’m not a bad person,” West told the judge in a quest for leniency. Defense lawyer Marsha Carter said West has held a job, helped support his four chil-dren and earned an HVAC certificate at the community college. He completed a 36-week self-improvement course while in jail, inspired others in the program and has been a jail trusty, said Carter, who urged Lewis to disregard West’s previous robbery conviction since it oc-curred when he was about 15.

Lewis wished him the best in the fu-ture, but added, “I look at this record. … I think you need to be punished.”

Jonathan Chase Melzer, 38, of Ash, N.C., was sentenced to 10 years for pos-sessing ecstasy, bath salts, psilocybin, LSD and marijuana with intent to dis-tribute on July 31, 2012. All but two years was suspended, leaving Melzer seven months to serve. Previously, Lewis agreed to allow the defendant to go into a rehabilitation center as Melzer request-ed. However, once Melzer was released, he decided against entering the two-year program because he would be unable to pay child support during that time. Melzer admitted to dealing drugs for 10 months prior to his arrest. Evidence showed he owes nearly $20,000 in back child support for his four children.

“You wanted to change your life,” said Lewis. “Now you get out and you don’t want to do the program. Looks to me like they’re (Melzer’s children) probably used to getting along without your assistance.”

…………………………Accomack District Court

Charges against three people ac-cused in an Aug. 28 fatal home inva-sion in Sanford were certified Monday to an Accomack Grand Jury, which will meet in December.

…………………………James Randolph Morris CaseIndictments filed against Onley Vol-

unteer Fire & Rescue Company’s for-mer treasurer, James Randolph Morris “are very vague,” a lawyer retained by

Morris said this week.Morris, an 82-year-old resident of

Coastal Boulevard in Onley, is ac-cused of nine counts of stealing funds “intended for the operations of the fire station” between Jan. 1, 2008, and June 30, 2012. The charges do not state how much money was allegedly involved nor does it give specific dates. Each charge spans over six months.

“There’s not a lot that we’ve been able to find out,” Adam M. Carroll of the Virginia Beach law firm of Wolcott/Rivers/Gates commented Tuesday. “It is very early in the investigation process. We haven’t exchanged discovery yet. We’re working on it.”

Carroll, who was retained about two weeks ago, said his client is a veteran of the Vietnam and Korean wars. “When he got out of the military, he had vari-ous jobs where he was responsible for funds” and this is the “only time alle-gations were made.”

A source close to the case told the Eastern Shore Post months ago that between $400,000 and $500,000 was missing from the fire company’s coffers.

“That would absolutely shock me,” Carroll stated.

Morris was released on $1,000 bond shortly after being arrested. The inves-tigation was handled by State Police.

…………………………Onley Police Department

A Pungoteague man allegedly used hand sanitizer to start a fire inside the Dollar General Store at Four Corner Plaza in Onley last week, according to Town Police Chief Walter Marks.

Records filed in Accomack District Court show Brandon O. West, 28, was charged with intentionally causing damage of more than $1,000, a felony.

Marks said West entered the store at about 8:50 p.m. and went to the sta-tionery area where he allegedly emp-tied a container of a hand sanitizer and set the liquid ablaze.

Onley Officer Jamie Coulbourne re-sponded to the incident and was able to use a fire extinguisher to douse the fire, which shot up near the ceiling, Marks added. West was identified on a security camera and was arrested a short time later by Fire Investigator Glen Neal of the State Police.

Marks, Officer George Bennett and the Onancock Police Department assist-ed. Onley Fire & Rescue also responded.

With the opening of its newest dental location at the new Atlantic Community Health

Center in May, Eastern Shore Rural Health System now has four dental loca-tions. Children up to 18 years old can be seen at Rural Health’s dental offices at Metompkin and Pungoteague elemen-tary schools, regardless of the school they attend. Both adults and children can be seen at Atlantic and Franktown community health centers. Accomack County public-school students also are being treated at Accawmacke and Kegotank elementary schools with portable dental equipment.

Oral disease is almost completely pre-ventable with routine dental care and early intervention. As part of efforts

to fight childhood oral disease, Rural Health recently hired a second pediatric dentist. Dr. Alex Kordis, who sees chil-dren at Franktown Community Health Center, has a special interest in infant oral health and ensuring children have a dentist they will see routinely at age 1. The advantage of children having an

established relationship with a dentist —what the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry calls a “dental home” — is that a child has an ongoing re-lationship with a dentist, inclusive of all aspects of oral health care, delivered in a comprehensive, con-

tinuously accessible, coordinated, and family-centered way.

Dr. Scott Wolpin, who has joined Ru-ral Health to lead its dental program as

chief dental officer, has a special interest in working with all members of a com-munity to improve the health status for all; he worked in public health in Mary-land for more than 20 yearsRural Health recognized for progress fighting child-hood oral disease

In June, Rural Health’s school dental program was awarded the Wells Fargo Achievement Award by the Virginia Health Care Foundation. This award is presented each year to a former Virginia Health Care Foundation (VHCF) grant-

ee that demonstrates growth, sustainable business practices, and an entrepreneur-ial spirit. A $10,000 award from the Wells Fargo Foundation accompanied the award.

The school dental program, a part-nership between Rural Health and Ac-comack County Public Schools, has been providing dental care to children since 1995. Because the Eastern Shore of Virginia is designated a dentist shortage area, VHCF provided the dental equip-ment to begin the program.

By Catherine Campbellof Onancock

As a mother of a child with con-genital heart defects, I want to help spread awareness to my

community. Any congenital heart defect (CHD)

is serious, some more than others. Some require a lifetime of medica-

tions; others require many open-heart surgeries. Surgeries and medications may help our kids’ heart work better, but it will never be normal. CHD kids are very fragile and unpredictable; one minute they can be running around the house like normal and the next minute they could be fighting for their life. You learn to never take any mo-ment for granted with a chd child.

We heart moms may seem overpro-tective of our kids when it comes to ill-ness, but what is a simple cold to your child can be disastrous to ours.

We have watched our child on the brink of death, been told to say our goodbyes, and have sat for hours and just watched the monitor, counting each heartbeat, hoping it wouldn’t be their last.

My daughter has had two open-heart surgeries with more to come, numerous cardiac catheterization, and nissen and G-tube surgery. She

has coded once and it took the amaz-ing staff at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters 25 minutes to bring her back. She eats primarily through her G-tube and is still recuperating from strokes and seizures she had over a year ago. She is taking 10 medica-tions four times a day.

I am blessed that she is here with us today and every time I look at her I can’t help but think what a miracle she is.

Every CHD child has a different story, no matter how similar the heart defect. Unfortunately, scientists do not know all of the causes for CHD. A lot of people think that mothers or fathers must have done something wrong to cause their children’s hearts to be mal-formed. That is seldom the case. There are some known illnesses, medical con-ditions and drugs which can increase the risk of having a child with a heart defect, but most of the time, the doctors don’t know why our children are born with heart defects.

CHD is the number one birth defect; nearly one out of every 100 babies is born with a CHD, the leading cause

of infant death in the United States. Thousands of them will not reach their first birthday and thousands more die before they reach adulthood. Almost half of those with complex congenital heart disease have neurological and developmental disabilities.

In the United States, twice as many children die from CHDs each year than from all forms of childhood cancer com-bined, yet funding for pediatric can-cer research is five times higher than funding for CHD. Only one penny of every dollar donated to the American Heart Association goes toward CHD research. Of every dollar the govern-ment spends on medical funding, only a fraction of a penny is directed toward CHD research.

In the last decade, death rates for CHDs have declined by almost 30 per-cent due to advances made through re-search. Just imagine how many lives we can save if we all work together to help spread the word!

Make sure your newborn gets a pulse ox test when born, it can detect a CHD. So please, spread the word and save lives!

Community NotesCheriton

By Ron WestCheriton Town Council reviewed

building codes presented by Town Building Department Director Warren Wisneski last week.

The code puts the town in compliance with the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. Building permits within Cheriton will be issued only after the zoning administrator or building inspec-tor indicates that the proposed construc-tion complies with the zoning and subdi-vision requirements of the town.

Council voted 4-0 to approve the building code. (Council members Norma Spencer and Fred Diggs were absent).

Councilman Greg Hardesty, the town’s representative on the Public Ser-vice Authority (PSA) reported that the proposed wastewater project referred to

as the Southern Node is on hold while the county seeks additional input from property owners in the area where the wastewater lines will be run. No date was provided by the PSA as to when or if the project will finally get underway.

Mayor Joe Habel reported that the TEA-21 Grant from the Virginia De-partment of Transportation for im-provements along the commercial dis-trict in town is still available. Habel suggested that the town begin with the parking lot portion of the plan as well as lighting options and possibly a playground area. “We can’t let the project fall by the wayside,” he said.

Council changed its meeting dates for November and December from the fourth to the third Wednesdays of each month: Nov. 20 and Dec. 18.

By Linda CicoiraA Freedom of Information Act

(FOIA) lawsuit filed against Onancock was settled this week with a public apology and a council vote to pay court costs of $56 for the plaintiff, a town resident.

“Town Council, Town Manager Ca-bell Lawton and Town Attorney John Custis are to be applauded and ap-preciated for the decision to resolve this FOIA issue in this manner,” said Charles Landis, who filed the petition in Accomack General District Court.

“In my opinion, you have made a landmark decision and it is my hope other governing bodies on the Shore and elsewhere in Virginia will follow this example,” he added. “All, citizens and this governing body, are, thus, bet-ter served.”

Landis’ issue centered on the way the resignation of former Town Man-ager/Attorney Thomas Robinett was obtained by Mayor Russell Jones last May. Landis requested a document that he said some Town Council mem-bers initialed regarding Robinett. He

argued that instead of using this secret poll, a vote should have been taken in a public forum.

When Robinett quit the post, he wrote in a letter of resignation, “Based on council’s agreement to the terms and conditions stated in a memoran-dum distributed earlier today, I hereby resign … effective this date at 5 p.m.”

At a council meeting Monday, Custis read from a prepared statement. “In re-viewing the facts related to the allega-tion, it has come to our attention that a working paper that was originally not believed to be subject to the FOIA re-quest should have been disclosed.”

Custis said the document was “re-lated to the performance of a previous town employee,” who resigned. “Sub-sequent to the employee’s resignation and prior to the town receiving the FOIA request, the document and all digital copies were destroyed by the originator, as it was believed to be a moot point following the employee’s resignation. We apologize for this over-sight and wish to thank Mr. Charles Landis for bringing this information to our attention.”

“We acknowledge that Mr. Landis did not file his complaint as a result of any personal vendetta, but instead be-cause he is a citizen who believes, like all Onancock citizens and all members of this town government, that open-ness and transparency is the best reci-pe for good governance.”

Council voted 4-0 to approve the settlement. Members Michelle Marsh, Fletcher Fosque, Sandra Fox and Kathyanne Runninger were in favor. Councilmen T. Lee Byrd and John Morgan were absent.

~ Arson Trial ~(Continued From Front Page)

Agar also disclosed that one of the interviews with the defendant was conducted in a squad car as police drove Bundick to crime sites. The documents were not available for view by press time, as other court cases continued to be heard. Bundick said a motive is ap-parent in the 36- to 38-page document.

There was no plea agreement, but Bundick said later, “I’m hoping his cooperation will be a great benefit to him.” The lawyer was uncertain if Smith would testify against his fiancée, Tonya Susan Bundick, who was arrested with him and is free on bail, charged with one count of arson and one count of conspiracy. Smith also pleaded guilty to a count of conspiring with her to commit the final arson.

“He is very remorseful,” the defense lawyer said of Smith after the proceeding. Carl Bundick also noted that Smith likely was not taking medicine for his bi-polar disorder when the crimes occurred or when he confessed. “It’s making a difference” now that’s he’s taking it, the attorney noted.

Judge Glen A. Tyler also commented on Smith’s behavior, noting he was quicker to respond to the se-ries of questions asked of most defendants than he was at a previous hearing.

Reporters and camera operators took up most of the courthouse seating. Tonya Bundick was nowhere to be seen. But bailiffs discussed putting her in the front row if she did arrive.

Tyler accepted Smith’s pleas and commended the lawyers on the presentation. Smith was remanded to jail, where he has been for the last seven months, to await sentencing, which is expected in December. A long-form presentence report was ordered.

Also known as Charlie Applegate, the 38-year-old former resident of Matthews Road in Hopeton could be behind bars for the rest of his life. Tyler said the maxi-mum sentence for the crimes is 584 years in prison and $5,630,000 in fines. Carl Bundick asked if detention and diversion could be considered, but Tyler said nei-ther is “pertinent or appropriate for this kind of case.”

Agar said 52 of the crimes were felonies, with damages of more than $200. Nine were misdemean-ors, three were brush fires, one was personal prop-erty damage and two were categorized simply as oc-cupied dwellings.

Previous testimony was provided by two State Police officers who were staked out in nearby woods and watched the last arson unfold at Claude Henry’s house on Airport Drive. Smith had eluded police for five months, bringing unrest to the Eastern Shore as people began to suspect each other and fear for their property. Agar said Bundick dropped Smith off at the unoccupied house near Melfa and then returned to pick him up after he set the fire.

The crimes began in November 2012.The felony arson counts include fires set to:

•Bertha Finney’s structure on Dennis Drive in Parksley Nov. 12;

Bishop Leatherbury was nobody’s idea of an athlete when he at-tended high school and college.

Even he admits, “I was too small to play football and kind of uncoordinated, plus I was on the heavy side, so I never participated in sports.”

A 1970 graduate of Broadwater Academy, Leatherbury attended the University of Richmond and later grad-uated from Virginia Tech with a degree in accounting.

A reunion of Phi Delta Theta gradu-ates from the early 1970s was held on the Shore this summer. Bishop, who was a Phi Delt during his Richmond days before transferring to Virginia Tech because of its accounting depart-ment, wanted to be here, but was in training for a race. Not just any race, but the IronMan Triathlon in Hawaii, the World Championships of Triathlons.

His fraternity brothers, many of them outstanding athletes in high school and college, and now some of them hard-pressed to run 385 yards, marveled at what might have been the least likely brother who was preparing to run 26 miles and 385 yards, bike 115 miles and swim 2.4 miles.

“I started exercising about 10 years after college to control my weight,” said Bishop, who at 140 pounds is 30 pounds below his high-school weight. “At first I only ran and competed in shorter distances and later marathons. Then I had an injury and went to the swimming pool for exercise.

“I had never swum before, but once I had done that, I thought about tri-athlons. The swimming part is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.” said Bishop, now 61.

A veteran of 32 marathons, includ-ing the Boston Marathon, where this

year he was less than a mile from the finish line when the bombs exploded, Leatherbury has completed eight tri-athlons and will be competing in a ninth this weekend in Florida.

Training from 15 to a peak of 25 hours weekly, while covering as many as 200 miles on a bike, running over 30 miles and swimming as many as 10,000 meters a week, Leatherbury said time management is the ultimate skill of a triathlon competitor.

“It means getting up very early in the morning and using your time wise-ly,” said Leatherbury, a family man who with his wife Suzanne has three children and two grandchildren. He is also a managing partner at Tatum, LLC, a nationwide firm that provides interim chief financial officers and fi-nancial consultation for companies.

Having grown up in Onancock, Leatherbury is now in Atlanta, Ga., af-ter stints with companies in Reston and Richmond, Va. He has served as CFO of a number of venture capital funded technology companies, including soft-ware, hardware and service providers.

His father, Edwin Leatherbury, was a CPA and co-owner of Leatherbury and Broache in Accomac, where his brother, Rob, heads the firm today. He also has a sister, Anne.

“With both of my parents gone, I don’t get to the Shore very often, may-be about once a year, but sometimes Rob and Anne will meet me in Rich-mond,” said Bishop.

But a Shore boyhood friend was never far from his mind as he spent nearly 14 hours pushing to the finish line of the IronMan Triathlon.

“I raced in honor of my childhood friend, Frank Wray, who has been stricken with ALS and in memory of

Karen Kelly and John Blais, both Iron-Man World Championship finishers who lost their lives to ALS. Thanks to the support of my friends, we topped the $10,000 mark in funds raised. Their contributions will help fund re-search into a cure for ALS so that one day people will be able to survive ALS.”

Leatherbury had a goal of complet-ing the triathlon in Hawaii in 13 hours, an hour better than the mark he set in this race two years ago. Strong winds during the bike portion slowed his progress and left him a bit short of that goal, but still 35 minutes better than his previous best.

Reflecting over the week and over the six months of training, Leather-bury said he took away a number of lessons.

In his words, those lessons were:1.The power of setting goals in gen-

eral and in having a BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal). Had I not set an ag-gressive goal (and told everyone about it), I would not have been driven to train as hard or to race as hard. While I did not hit my goal, I am confident that I did better as a result of having a big goal.

2. Not only is it important to have a vision, it is critical to have a plan and milestones along the way. I had broken my race into goals for each segment and was able to measure my progress along the way. It was even a help to reach each buoy in the swim as a mea-sure of forward progress which let me know I was making progress.

3. The power of doing something for a cause bigger than yourself. Think-ing of Frank and Karen kept me going through the tough parts and, along the way, I met many new friends and sup-porters which enriched the experience.

4. The importance and power of friends and relationships. Lots of peo-ple along the way helped me through long training rides, long runs and that was every bit as rewarding and impor-tant a part of the journey as the race itself.

5. No matter whether you are sprinting down the finish chute to meet a goal or slowing down to smell the roses along the way, running down Ali’I Drive and crossing the finish line at the IronMan World Championship is a thrill of a lifetime!

Anglers Club To MeetThe Eastern Shore of Virginia An-

glers Club (www.esanglersclub.org) will hold its monthly meeting on Nov. 11 in the conference room of the Sage Res-taurant in Onley at 7:30 p.m.

It will feature a presentation by Sam Sellard of Melfa, who has caught hundreds of large stripers during the past 10 years. He will talk about day-time and nighttime fishing with live eels for trophy stripers at the Chesa-peake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. The public is invited and new or prospective mem-bers are welcome.

Hunters for HungrySeeking Donations

The Eastern Shore Chapter of the Virginia Hunters for the Hungry an-nounces the beginning of its 16th season of service to residents of the Shore. The program raises the funds necessary to pay the processing cost for deer donated by local hunters. The deer is processed into packages of ground meat that is distributed lo-cally through the Foodbank in Tasley.

Since the program’s inception in 1997, more than 4,000 deer have been processed. This is over 500,000 serv-ings of a nutritious product that has been well received and enjoyed by the recipients through the foodbank and Lighthouse Ministries. The goal this year is 200 deer.

The program will begin receiving deer on Nov. 2 through the deer hunting season. The deer may be taken to the refrigerated trailers at the foodbank in Tasley or B&B Market in Machipongo. They also may be taken to the local pro-cessor, Brent Powell, in Wachapreague. The deer must be field-dressed and properly registered.

The program pays $45 per deer for processing costs, discounted from the going price of $80 a deer. Currently, there are matching funds available for local businesses, clubs, and groups. The organization is a 501-c-3, making

donations deductible. The management expense is very low to maximize funds available for processing.

The local chapter is requesting both deer and financial donations to allow the program to continue this year. As the processing cost is per deer, dona-tion of larger body deer is encouraged. A speaker is available to talk to groups upon request.

Please send checks made payable to “Hunters for the Hungry” to P.O. Box 1702, Parksley, VA 23421.

SPORTS SHORTS

Story and photo by Bill SterlingNandua’s Jakorah Parker burst out

of the pack for a 60-yard run on Nan-dua’s first offensive play, and the War-rior defense held Arcadia scoreless after the first quarter Friday night, avenging an earlier loss to the Firebirds with a 35-12 victory and leaving a tie at the top of the Shore District standings.

Arcadia responded to the quick score with two first-quarter touch-downs by Travon Copes on runs of 20 and six yards, the second score set up by a Josh Sanns to Taylor Major pass of 25 yards.

Nandua’s Tyreim Blake answered with a six-yard touchdown pass to Da-ryl Fisher, set up by a blocked punt by Nandua’s Will Farlow, to give Nandua a 14-12 lead early in the second quarter.

At that point, it looked liked a back-and-forth affair between two teams that had a lot at stake, but Arcadia lost a fumble at the Nandua 1 yard line, and leading receiver Taylor Major to an injury, while quarterback Josh Sanns’ performance appeared to be af-fected by a leg injury. Meanwhile, Nan-dua never let up the pressure and by the end of the game was churning out 10 yards a crack with a straight-ahead wedge play up the middle.

“Our players knew what was at stake and stayed focused all night,” said Nan-dua coach Chris Miles. “We needed the

game to get a share of the district title and get into the playoff picture. I was proud of the way we competed.”

If both Acadia and Nandua win their remaining game with winless Northampton (the Warriors travel to Eastville tonight to battle the Jackets), they will share the district title with 3-1 records. Arcadia and Nandua are now ranked 11th and 12th, respec-tively, in the top 16 teams for the state playoffs, with the top eight teams host-ing first-round playoff games.

“We are banged up a bit, but Taylor will be back this week,” said Arcadia coach Tony Nock. “Our goal now is to earn Arcadia’s first winning season since 2000,” said Arcadia coach Tony Nock. “We are 5-3 and can get it done against Kent County (tonight on the road). They are also 5-3, so it should be a good matchup.”

In the second half, Montrae Arm-strong scored on touchdown runs of 13 and 5 yards, while Parker added a 20-yard score to break the game open. Helping the Warrior cause was the re-covery of a kickoff at the Firebird 1 yard line, leading to a short touchdown run.

Parker led the Warriors in rushing with 132 yards on only seven carries. Armstrong added 91 yards on 12 car-ries. As a team, Nandua amassed 340 yards, averaging just over 10 yards an attempt.

Blake was 4 of 7 passing for 67 yards. Defensively, Farlow and Mahagee

Wise led Nandua with 22 tackles each, while Armstrong had 15 and Jamar Jones 13. Blake, Anthony Smith and Jhamir Poulson had 10 each.

David Wright was 3 of 4 on extra-point conversions and dropped two punts inside the Firebird 10-yard line.

Arcadia, averaging over 400 yards a game during its five-game winning

steak, was led by Copes with 76 yards on 13 carries, while John Wright and Tyler Major added 46 yards each as the team was held to 223 yards total. In the air, Sanns was 3-of-13 with Tay-lor Major getting two of the completion, including a 41 yarder in the first half.

Defensively, Keandre Bundick led the Firebirds with eight tackles, Peter Rivera had five and Wright and Con-trel Brown had four each.


Nandua Pulls Away for 35-12 Win To Avenge Arcadia Loss

Story and photo by Bill SterlingChincoteague waged a second-half

comeback that brought the Ponies from a 10-0 deficit at half to earn a 20-17 win over Fuqua in front of a large Homecoming crowd at Farmville.

It was the Ponies’ fourth straight win after opening the season with four losses.

“Our goal from the beginning was to have a winning season,” said Pony coach Nick Howard. “We can accom-plish that with a win Friday night,”

Fuqua, ranked third in the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Associa-tion Division 4 standings and a likely opponent of Broadwater in the state

playoffs, took a 10-0 lead with a 20-yard touchdown run and a field goal.

However, Chincoteague scored 14 points in the third quarter — a 17-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Lar-ry Harper to Hunter Leonard, then a three-yard touchdown run by Harper with a 2-point conversion from Harper to Kyle Gentry.

Chincoteague added to its 14-10 lead with a six-yard touchdown bolt from Randy Bowden. Fuqua narrowed the gap to 20-17 with a 20-yard touch-down pass with under two minutes re-maining in the game.

“After a five-hour bus trip and a slow start, we really put it together in the

second half,” said Coach Howard. “We stayed with our game plan and physi-cally beat them down,” he said.

Bowden rushed for 129 yards on 22 carries and Anthony Wales led the de-fense with nine tackles.

Chincoteague concludes its season with a home game against Greenbrier Christian tonight with a 7 o’clock kick-off. Greenbrier Christian is 1-8, but Coach Howard said the Gators have faced several larger schools in Hamp-ton Roads and are better than their record indicates.

Fuqua did defeat Greenbrier Chris-tian earlier in the year when the Ga-tors were missing several players.

Story and photo by Bill SterlingThanks to a colossal turnaround in

which Brendon Burrows scored two touchdowns totaling 166 yards in less than 30 seconds, Broadwater outlasted Portsmouth Christian 39-28 Saturday.

The Vikings trailed 22-14 — with only 15 seconds remaining in the first half — to the Division 3 Patriots, who had a strong running game. Ports-mouth Christian was on the Viking 6 yard line after an illegal procedure penalty nullified a touchdown from the 1 yard line that would have put the visitors up 28-14. On the next play, Portsmouth Christian lobbed a screen

pass over the middle that Burrows picked off and ran 95 yards for a touch-down, ending the half. Burrows kicked the extra point to make it 22-21 Ports-mouth Christian at half.

On the opening kickoff of the second half, Burrows picked up a low kick and raced up the middle for 71 yards only 12 seconds into the half.

Consequently, after nearly being down by 14 points, the Vikings found themselves up by 6 in less than 30 sec-onds of play.

With the win, Broadwater raised its record to 7-1 and remains second in the Division 4 Virginia Indepen-dent Schools Athletic Association, Four-time defending state champion Blessed Sacrament - Huguenot, which concludes its season tonight against 3-6 Hargrave Academy, is ranked first. Broadwater caps its regular season to-night against Brunswick Academy, 2-7.

Next week, the Vikings will host a playoff game, and if victorious, will play for the state championship the follow-ing weekend at the site of the higher ranked team, which appears likely to be Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot.

On Saturday, Broadwater had trouble with PC’s read option offense as John Pope amassed 269 yards on 39 carries and scored three touchdowns. Only after

Portsmouth Christian took a 28-27 lead late in the third quarter did the Viking defense stiffen and stop all of the visi-tors’ drives in the fourth quarter.

Wesley Shrieves scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns on runs of 16 and 11 quarters to give the Vikes the hard-earned win.

Adam Bowen, returning after miss-ing a game with concussion symptoms, had 117 yards on six carries, includ-ing a 74-yard touchdown dash in the

second quarter when the Vikings were trailing 14-7.

Quarterback Ben Holland threw 12 times, completing six for 73 yards, in-cluding a seven-yard touchdown pass to Michael Riopel for Broadwater’s first score. Riopel had three catches for 73 yards, and Shrieves had one for 43 yards.

Robert Fritz led the Viking defense with 18 tackles. Frank Long had 12, and Matt McCaskill added 11. John Gordon recovered a fumble.


Sudden Turnaround Sends Vikings to 39-28 Win Over PC

Broadwater’s Adam Bowen follows his blocking in action against Ports-mouth Christian Saturday. Bowen’s 74-yard touchdown run helped the Vikings get the win.

Cross Country championship Wednes-day at Franklin among the boys as Alan Killebrew was the medalist, followed by Sammy Pineda, John Delmar and James Teeling in a virtual dead heat.

The Jackets controlled the top eight places as Aden Ingram, Garrett Marsh, Charlie Demarino and Tucker Spady followed the leaders.

Among the girls, Madisen Lewis of Northampton was the medalist and the only Lady Jacket competing. No team in the field had enough girls to qualify for a team.

Coach Rich Wilfong said, “Alan has run his strongest races as the season winds down. We hope to make a strong showing in the region,” adding that Lewis was dominant among the girls, winning easily.


The Northampton field hockey team won the semi-finals of its confer-ence tournament Tuesday night in a 5-0 shutout of Northumberland. Pictured is Ada Garvis (9) of Northampton advancing the ball upfield. Madisen Lewis scored three goals while Sarah Head and Adrianna Simpson scored one each. Katie Spady got the shutout in goal. It was the sixth straight win for Northampton and sent the Lady Jackets into the championship game at Bruton, which defeated George Mason 6-1 in a semi-final, played last night after Post deadlines. The win Tues-day guaranteed Northampton will advance to the regional tournament. Coach John Gorman said, “We stayed aggressive and attacked through-out the game. We are peaking at the right time.”

Northampton Field Hockey Advances

It was a sea of pink Wednesday as Nandua hosted a “Dig Pink” volley-ball tournament that also included Northampton, Chincoteague and Arcadia. Teams rotated for 25-minute playing sessions, with proceeds at the door going to the American Cancer Society. Last year, the event raised over $1,500. Baked goods and pink T-shirts were sold in the lobby to help raise funds. Pictured are the Nandua and Chincoteague teams playing a point.

Vote for Oakley and ParksDear Editor:

This Tuesday, each voter in Northampton County will have a say in the election of three School Board positions. Each district has a seat on the board and there are two at-large positions district-wide as well.

I am asking for your support of two candidates: Skip Oakley and Randy Parks.

William J. “Skip” Oakley is running for the Dis-trict 5 seat and Randall D. “Randy” Parks is running for the four-year at-large position. Both of these men have the knowledge and dedication to help steer our school system in the right direction. Both have dedi-cated decades of service to education in our commu-nity and have shown a desire and drive to continue serving the children of Northampton County.

Over the last few years we have seen decreasing SOL scores across the county, high rates of teacher turnover, and above all, a major decrease in morale in our schools. It is time the voters of Northampton to have a say in the decision-making in our school system and bring positive change to our district.

The School Board is responsible for developing and adopting the policies that govern our schools. Poli-cies are a weakness of the current board. Many are written in language that is unclear, some have been approved that are not enforceable, and some have disappeared from the books with no explanation. The current School Board has shown an inability to produce effective policies over the last few years. Mr. Oakley and Mr. Parks are dedicated to adopting poli-cies that are clear, simple, and enforceable.

Some have raised concern over a complete turn-over as we switch from an appointed to an elected School Board. This should not be a concern as two current members are running unopposed.

Stephanie Zodun, Belle Haven

Vote for Change on School BoardDear Editor:

Tuesday, Nov. 5, we can all look forward to the end of those awful political ads, but more importantly, we go to the polls to vote. In Northampton County, there will be something new to elect and that is our School Board. I am part of the activist group that initiated this election.

The Friends of Northampton County Schools has worked hard, met frequently, and researched how to improve our failing school system. The consensus was to have a board that listens to and represents the community, which led us to this election.

None of our schools is fully accredited and there has been a huge decrease in test scores, even after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in school improvement grant money.

Policy decisions have been made with little or no input from teachers, parents or community mem-bers. The decision to close Northampton Middle

School was made with no discussion. As a teacher at Northampton Middle School for 28 years, I and my colleagues were shocked and amazed.

After writing letters and discussing with board mem-bers the concerns of my peers and me over decisions made in 2011-12, I was reassured by board members that there was a plan, things were going to get better. I never was told the plan, or why they believed things would get better when one third of our teachers left in 2012 and another huge turnover occurred in 2013.

Vote for a change and a board that supports teach-ers and listens to parents and community members. The following candidates are endorsed by the Friends of Northampton County Schools and will work hard to improve our school system: District 1 - Shannon Dun-ham, District 3 - Regina Elmandorf Taylor, District 4 - Mickey Merritt, District 5 - William “Skip” Oakley, two-year at-large - Nykia Robinson and Joanne Mol-era, four-year at-large - Randall “Randy” Parks.

Mary Floyd, Retired NCPS Teacher

Obamacare Is a Good ProgramDear Editor:

This is in response to the letter in the Oct. 25 issue titled “Democrats Threaten Your Rights.”

Do people not realize the government has been dic-tating what people can and cannot do for years? Do people realize that if you do not have car insurance, you will be fined as well? Do people realize that be-cause of the Obama Care, everyone can have health insurance? Are we as a people so simple-minded to believe that this is not a good thing since being a woman is considered a pre-existing condition, and could have meant denied health coverage? Do you realize that this allows people to be treated, no mat-ter their health condition? Obviously not.

Stop blaming everyone else and try making a dif-ference. Would you like to pay the medical bills for the people who cannot get insurance due to pre-ex-sisting conditions or let them pay themselves?

Post Office Mail~ Guest Editorial ~By Superintendent Dr. Walter Clemons

Much has been said over the last month about the academic status of Northampton County Public Schools (NCBS). Therefore, I thought I would take a moment to give the community an accurate depic-tion of where we currently are and the work that lies ahead regarding improving our schools.

First, let me state that no school in the division is classified as failing and all of our schools are ac-credited. The Commonwealth of Virginia classifies schools in the state in one of the following ways:

1. Fully Accredited – Meeting all state bench-marks (based on current year or three-year aver-age) in the core content areas on the Virginia Stan-dards of Learning (SOL) Assessments in Reading/ Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, History and the additional area of the graduation and comple-tion index at the high-school level;

2. Accredited with Warning – Missing one or more of the aforementioned benchmarks;

3. Provisionally Accredited – Meeting all state benchmarks, but not meeting the graduation and completion index at the high-school level;

4. Conditionally Accredited – Not earning full accreditation status for three or more years, but making progress toward it. This rating must be ap-proved by the Virginia Board of Education (VBE). A new school can also receive this rating.

5. Accreditation Denied – Not earning full ac-creditation for three or more years and not receiv-ing a conditionally accredited rating by the VBE.

Based on the SOL Assessments given in the spring of 2013, NCPS are rated as follows this year:

•Northampton High School – Accredited with Warning in Mathematics; met state benchmarks in Reading/Language Arts, Science, History and the graduation and completion index.

•Occohannock Elementary School – Accredited with Warning in Reading and Mathematics; met state benchmarks in Science and History.

•Kiptopeke Elementary School – Condition-ally Accredited - This rating was approved by the VBE on Oct. 24, 2013, at its regular meeting. We are pleased that the VBE granted this approval and acknowledged that we are moving in the right direc-tion. The school met the state benchmarks in Science and History, but not in Reading and Mathematics.

•Northampton Middle School – Conditionally Accredited – Classified as a new school due to its opening at the start of this school year.

To further put this in perspective, the state has instituted new SOL Assessments in Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics and Science, causing more than 400 schools across the commonwealth to fail to earn full accreditation. Therefore, you can see this is not isolated to NCPS.

However, please know that we have many dedi-cated teachers and administrators working hard daily in our school improvement efforts.
