Here’s WhatEntertained Us in 2013
By Linda Cicoira “Why can’t people just sit and read
books and be nice to each other?” That’s what author David Baldacci
wrote in “The Camel Club” and what Wachapreague native Pat Hart wondered in 2013 as she spent weeks devouring 10 of his novels.
“I have taken up reading in the past five years,” she wrote in response to a re-cent email survey conducted by the East-ern Shore Post. “Before that I was always too busy” working.
Like many others on the Shore, she’s unconcerned with movies or television. “I have recently discovered (Pulitzer Prize winner) Anne Tyler,” Hart continued. Her favorite is Tyler’s first book, “If Morning Ever Comes,” published in 1964 when the author was 22.
Tyler “keeps me interested to the point that I just can’t put her books down,” Hart said.
Julie Elbers of Onancock said the best book she read last year was “Just Add Salt” (Book 2 of 5) by Jinx Schwartz. “The main character, Hetta Coffey, is a real character and literally had me laughing out loud at some of the crazy things she and her friend, Jan, would talk about and get into,” wrote Elbers.

Life insurance rates are all about the same, right? WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!
Compare these preferred plus, 10 year, level term, male, non-smoker, superior rates! Rates shown are YEARLY.
mance, I’ll be flabbergasted!”Her favorite TV show is “Big Bang
Theory.” “I know it’s been around for a while,” Elbers said, “but I just started watching it a couple of months ago and I’m hooked. I’ve had a lot going on over the last year and this show has kept me laughing and helped me get through it.”
James Patterson is always a favorite author at the Eastern Shore Public Li-brary, although Director Carol Vincent said there isn’t one author that stands out this year. The three e-books that were checked out most often in 2013 were “Rocketeer” by John Grisham, “Starlight” by Debbie Macomber and the “Fifty Shades Trilogy,” which includes “Fifty Shades of Grey,” “Fifty Shades Darker” and “Fifty Shades Freed.”
Vincent’s favorite for 2013 was Lou-ise Penny’s “How the Light Gets In.” “It takes place in Canada in a small town.” She liked the whole series, which is available at the library. “They’re all re-ally good.”
Vincent also liked “The Cuckoo’s Calling” by J.K. Rowling, who wrote un-der the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.
Michael Hart (Pat Hart’s son) of As-sawoman, is also an avid reader and quickly scrawled out two of his favorites from 2013. “The Keepers of the House” by Shirley Ann Grau and “Woman of Means” by Peter Taylor. “I am a huge fan of Southern gothic and these books are among the best,” he said.
Michael Hart also likes “Transat-lantic” by Colum McCann.
“I don’t go to the movies often,” Hart admitted. “The last one I saw in the theater was ‘American Hustle’ and it was amazing.” The best TV show he watched in 2013 was “Breaking Bad.”
Lois Sprague, formerly of Parksley, picked “Water for Elephants” as best 2013 book. “I liked it because it really restored my faith in human nature,” she said. “There really are people who do good things for strangers.”
Sprague picked “G.I. Joe” as the best movie “because I love the Rock.” Her favorite TV program is “Person of Interest,” a crime series based on a screenplay by Jonathan Nolan.
Debra Bergner of Hacksneck said “North and South” by Elizabeth Gas-kell was the best volume she read in 2013. “Having seen the movie, I want-ed to read the book. It was nice reading a book that didn’t have profanity or sex on every page,” Bergner added.
She picked “The Hobbit, the Desola-tion of Smaug” as the best film. “I’ve been waiting since December of 2012 to see it … ever since I saw ‘The Hob-bit, the Unexpected Journey.’ I’m a great fan of J.R.R. Tolkien and (actor) Richard Armitage,” Bergner said. “Leg-end of Sleepy Hollow/Witches of East End” was the best TV she saw in 2013. “Great story lines. Wish they had been on longer. Everything else was just a rehash of the old crime shows.”
Denise Johnson of Nassawadox said “Rush Revere and the Brave Pil-grims” was her favorite book last year. “Rush and his talking horse, Liberty, do a lot of time travel … it’s the true story of the real reason the pilgrims came to this country … what they really en-countered when they landed and how they dealt with issues like survival,” Johnson said. “This is something which
is no longer found in public school text-books or taught by politically correct es-pousing teachers in classrooms.”
The best movie she saw was “Mr. Stinky” on WHRO. It had “a sensible story line. The dialogue makes sense and problems are resolved without extreme mayhem being involved on people, or something (being) blown up to get rid of it.”
The best television she watched was a rerun of the “Rifleman” in which the lead character explains to his son how the Book of Job can relate to his life.
Ginny Mueller of Keller raved about “Hardcore Troubadour: the Life and Near Death of Steve Earle” by Lauren St. John and “I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive” by Steve Earle. The latter was the name of the last song written and recorded by Hank Williams Sr.
A devoted movie watcher, Mueller loved “Forrest Gump.” “It was a re-watch. I like it because Forrest shows us what we should be, not who we are. He understands love in a way that most of us ‘think’ ourselves out of. He reminds me that I still have a long, long way to grow as a human being

and giving up is not an option.”She chose “Captain Phillips,” as the
best film in 2013. “Ha! How about that? Two Tom Hanks movies. Captain Phil-lips was real and I like biographies. It was intense.”
“The best new television show I watched was ‘Masters of Sex’ on Show-time. I like it because again it is based on real people,” said Mueller. “I have watched it with my 16-year-old granddaughter and I have realized that we have come a long way in our acceptance of what we considered deviant sexual behaviors. She totally could not comprehend why some-body would be beaten up for being homo-sexual. Her innocence made me proud and let me know that at least in our family we had done something right for our children. The show also carries us back to a time when we cared about how we looked when we went out in public. The sets, the costumes, the hair-styles and the behaviors and attitudes are spot on for the late 1950s. It is en-tertaining and it is doing what good art does. It is teaching us about change.”
Tom Brown of Chincoteague said “One Shot” by Lee Child was “very good reading.” The ninth book in the Jack Reacher series was first published in April 2005.
Brown said he didn’t watch any movies in 2013. He chose Fox News as the best TV show, “because they are not in lock-step with the administration. Second choice would be ‘5’ (also on Fox) … frequently silly but also frequently entertaining,” Brown wrote.
Shirley Christian of Melfa had extra time to read in 2013 due to illness. “I went back to one of my favorite older authors, Sidney Sheldon, and was de-lightfully entertained. He is an excel-lent writer,” she said.
Christian didn’t go to the theater. Of television, she wrote, “There is a wonder-ful show on HGTV about home renova-tions that I find very interesting. They go through the whole renovation process, which gives you inspiration for your own property. Even if you’re not doing up-dates, the show holds your attention.”
Spiro Papadopoulos of Chincoteague Island listed his top three reads in or-der: “Things That Matter” by Charles Krauthammer, “The Great Stagnation” by Tyler Cowen and “Catastrophic Care: How American Health Care Killed My Father — And How We Can
Fix It” by David Goldhill.For best movies, Papadopoulos
picked “Captain Phillips” for “objective acting and depiction” and “Gravity” for special effects. He chose the Superbowl for best TV “because it truly reflects the American way of life. Have not missed viewing a single one.”
Tee Handy of Bloxom said every-thing that Brenda Jackson writes is a good read. She selected “The Fast & Furious” movies. “I like the fact that from the first movie to the last, they have been consistent with using the same actors as the main characters. Plus, I really, really, LOVE all the good-looking men.” Her pick for TV was “Scandal.” Each episode left you antici-pating … what would happen next.”
Diana M. Davis of Craddockville said “Everyday Matters” by Danny Gregory was the best book she read last year. “I read it twice and started again. It’s the true story of how Danny’s wife had a horrible accident and how Danny dealt with his feelings, so honestly,” she wrote. “He started drawing literally ev-erything, even what was in his refriger-ator. By doing this, he started to see the joy and beauty in his life and enjoyed the process that helped him.”
The best movie she saw in 2013 was “Gran Torino.” Clint Eastwood plays a war veteran who wants to reform a neighborhood teenager who tries to steal his car. Her favorite TV show is “ ‘The Walking Dead.’ I admit I had to get used to the gore. But I love it and miss it until it comes back on!!!”
Karen Simpson of Quinby picked “Loving Frank” by Nancy Horan as 2013’s best read. Calling it a “stunning-ly fantastic book,” Simpson said it “sure puts a different light on the Frank Lloyd Wright I had previously read about.”
She also said “Firefly Lane,” by Kris-ten Hannah was a top pick and a “mov-ing story about friendship that kept my interest.” Simpson “got stuck on Stuart Woods books,” reading “too many to count … I read several by Stephanie Laurens — quite racy, but great stories which were hard to put down.”
She rarely goes to the movies, but could still pick “Despicable Me 2,” “Django Unchained,” “Wolf of Wall Street,” “Red 2” and “The Great Gatsby.” “I watched the entire “Lost” (TV) series on Netflix. I’d watch 4-5 shows in a sit-ting — became completely addicted.”
Simpson is a fan of “Project Runway,” “The Voice,” “The Sing-Off,” “Top Chef,” “Revenge,” “Scandal,” “The Following” and “666 Park Avenue.”
Dan Hillman of Locustville contin-ued reading the Korean War story, “The Coldest Winter,” in 2013. The book “is of particular interest to me as I spent 15 months in Korea back in the mid-1950s.”
Hillman said he just finished read-ing a Robert Ludlum Jason Bourne book. “Of course, Ludlum died years ago and the writer who publishes un-der the Ludlum name is very good. But I could tell by the end of the first chap-ter it was not Ludlum,” he added.
“For the life of me, I cannot think of one movie that stands out in my memory bank” for 2013, Hillman con-tinued. “The Following” was his choice for best television show. “Good acting. Well done. I could not wait until the next showing.”
Terry Ewell of Youngs Creek said, “I couldn’t put down ‘Shades of Grey’ and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series, as well as … the movie, al-though most movies are never as good as the books.” For television, “I watch PBS and I really, really enjoy ‘Downton
Abbey,’ ” a British series.“And I really, really despise those
run-of-the-mill sitcoms with laughter interspersed every time someone says something that’s supposedly funny.”
Patty Bailey of Seaview said, “The Rock Orchard” by Paula Wall was a “great read. It had a little of everything — suspense, love, sadness and comedy.”
She picked Disney’s “Frozen” for best film. “This will surely be one of the movies I watch over and over again. I think I actually enjoyed it more than my 10-year-old granddaughter, Kay-lei. The snowman Olaf was definitely my favorite character.”
“Scandal” is probably my favorite (TV) show right now,” Bailey continued. “I just love the scenes with Olivia Pope and President Grant. There is always a twist in every episode and they get bet-ter and better. Great show!! Can’t wait for it to come back on!!”
Connie Burford of Bloxom chose “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett as her favor-ite book. It has been a favorite of East-ern Shore residents for three years in a row. Burford said “Lincoln” was the best movie. “I enjoyed the story and thought it was well done. Plus I love Sally Field.”

Heading to the Emergency Room means you already have a problem. That’s why we work hard to make sure you will be seen as quickly as possible. • Many patients can bypass the waiting room
altogether and are triaged at the bedside in a treatment area.
• Advanced technology and electronic medical records help caregivers schedule tests and begin treatments sooner.
• riversideonline.com shows you just how quickly, in minutes, a caregiver can see you so you will know what to expect.
• InQuicker® lets you schedule a non-emergency visit through the riversideonline.com website and then wait in the comfort of your own home.
You can’t always avoid accidents and illness. But you can avoid long waits for emergency treatment. Count on Riverside for care that is effective, efficient and fast.
You’re not just a patient, you’re a priority.
Because emergencies aren’t about waiting
By Linda CicoiraNearly 920 medical records were
inappropriately accessed at Riverside Health System, Director of Corporate Communication and Public Relations Peter Glagola said Wednesday.
The breaches, discovered during a routine audit, did not include anyone from Accomack or Northampton County.
“During the investigation we audit-ed all records that were accessed by the employee,” he said. “From this audit we identified all the patients affected. We did not identify any patients from the Eastern Shore.”
Riverside is offering free credit mon-itoring to those affected by the privacy breach discovered during a random company audit on Nov. 1.
Glagola said Riverside’s Compliance Department determined that an em-ployee had inappropriately accessed 919 medical records between September 2009 and October 2013. The information ac-cessed included patients’ social security numbers, a summary of the patient histo-ry and other information that appears in Riverside’s electronic system. The worker,
who was not identified, was fired. “Riverside is contacting the patients
affected by this event,” Glagola contin-ued. “All will be offered complementary three-bureau credit monitoring. The company has attempted to send notifica-tion letters to all patients and next of kin to those known to be deceased, but has been unable to locate current contact in-formation for all affected patients. If you believe that you may be affected by this privacy incident and have not received a notification letter, you may call 1-877-753-6854 toll free and someone will be available to speak with you.”
“Riverside would like to apologize for this incident,” said Glagola. “We are truly sorry this happened. We have a robust compliance program and ongo-ing monitoring in place, and that’s how we were able to identify this breach. We are looking at ways to improve our monitoring program with more auto-matic flags to protect our patients.”
Riverside is partnering with Fair-Warning®, a company that offers a pa-tient breach and monitoring software tool, to expand audit capabilities.

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!

Court PostingsBy Linda Cicoira
By Linda CicoiraVoters on the Eastern Shore will go to the polls
Tuesday to cast their ballots in a special election for the 6th District senate seat vacated by Lt. Gov.-elect Ralph Northam.
The candidates for the state position are Demo-cratic Del. Lynwood Lewis, an Accomac lawyer, and Republican Wayne Coleman, CEO and owner of CV International, Inc. of Norfolk, a logistics services provider. In addition to Accomack and Northampton counties, the 6th District includes Mathews County and parts of Norfolk and Virginia Beach.
Both candidates list their stands on various issues on their campaign websites.
Lewis“Creating an economic environment that supports
job growth and innovation is my top priority,” Lewis said. “Our small business owners are the backbone of our economy from Norfolk to the Eastern Shore. I will work to keep their taxes low and regulations simple. … We must also continue to invest in educa-tion and the jobs of the future such as the tech sector and advanced manufacturing.
“I also understand the important role that our fam-ily farming tradition plays in our region. That’s one of the many reasons why I will continue to cut govern-ment waste to keep our tax dollars here at home sup-porting the people that make our communities great.”
Coleman“If we want to attract the kind of quality jobs our
citizens expect and deserve, we must utilize our great natural resources while unleashing the entre-preneurial spirit of our citizens,” Coleman said.
“We need to take Washington and Richmond out of the classroom. In order to have the skilled workforce necessary to meet our economic needs, a world-class education system must be a priority. By empowering our parents and teachers with more local control, we will encourage local innovation so our education sys-tem meets our community’s needs.

PASTIMES
Exmore Woman DiesMary J. Sample, 78, of Exmore died,
surrounded by family, at her daughter’s residence in Exmore Sunday, Dec. 22, 2013, after a lingering illness.
She loved the Lord and listening to good gospel music. She became a mem-ber of New Mount Zion Baptist Church in Painter at an early age and pro-fessed her love for the Lord until the moment He called her home. “Nanny,” “Nana,” “Aunt Mer,” and “Mer,” as she was affectionately called, loved to be among family and friends.
She leaves to cherish her memories her daughter, Brenda (Robert) Bailey; adopted niece, Tammy Sample; grand-children, Vonda (Patrick) Collins, Shan-ta Sample, Robert (Lawry) Sample, La-mar Sample, and DeAndre Sample; 13 great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; sisters, Martha and An-nie Sample; and a host of nieces, neph-ews, cousins and friends.
Funeral services were conducted Saturday, Dec. 28, at New Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Painter by Rev. Dr.

SaTuRdayJan. 4
A couple of times in the past year I was asked to reprint a column by a football rival from high school who was also a fellow performer in musical pro-ductions that included students from both Onancock and Central.
Of course, it would only be fair to point out that Croxton Gordon, now Judge Gordon, was a headliner in those musical productions while I had bit parts.
Croxton said he thought readers would be interested in a column I first penned in 1981 that reflected on the death of a former teammate of mine at Central.
The column is somewhat dated since I said then it was hard to imag-ine that some readers weren’t alive when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
But, with thanks to Croxton for re-membering the column, here is what I wrote in 1981.
Memories are relevant to age, you know.
I have a brother who wasn’t born when President Kennedy was assas-sinated. A high school senior, he’s no baby either. Imagine, a whole genera-tion of students who weren’t even born when Kennedy was shot.
That was one of those times in his-tory that most people can recall exact-ly where they were when they heard the news. And sometimes it’s difficult to comprehend the fact that some of us weren’t alive.
Like I said, though, memories are relevant to age.
I read with interest last week the newspaper accounts of the day the Jap-anese bombed Pearl Harbor. There’s another one of those days people re-member exactly where they were when
they heard the news. Only I wasn’t born until 10 years later.
Carry it one generation further — to my grandfather’s time — and they re-call the day the stock market crashed like it was yesterday.
The Vietnam War had no such ral-lying point. It was more of a personal struggle with each of us.
For me, the war wouldn’t have even existed if it had not been for the horrid scenes piped in each evening on the news. At least not until they told me Hank O’Kusky was dead. That was when the reality of a conflict taking place a half a world away came crashing home.
Three years older and the brother of one of my best friends, Hank O’Kusky was somewhat of an idol of mine. We were both from Craddockville and boarded the same school bus each morning. With his Wally Cleaver looks and his magnetic personality, he always seemed to be the center of attention.
Hank was also tough in the best sense of the word. Built like a 210-pound of granite, Hank knew when it was time to be tough and when to flash that win-ning smile of his. Mostly, he was tough on a football field.
Those who played football with him surely remember a scene replayed at every practice. One of our drills involved hitting a five-man blocking sled and spinning off and hitting each of the pads. Most of us would inch up to the sled and put our shoulder to it, not even hoping to budge a piece of equipment anchored by concrete blocks. There were some who could move the sled a foot or two on im-pact. Then there was Hank.
Hank would start from 20 yards away with a whoop and crash into the sled at full speed. He would literally lift the sled off the ground and drive it back. Many times the sled would still be spinning when he went to hit
it again.Watching Hank punish that sled is
one of my most vivid memories of play-ing football. And I would say that if he were alive and standing in this room.
Hank was more than tough. He was good. I just went to our newspaper files to check the record. As a lineman for Central from 1963 to 1965, Hank was chosen second team All-Shore as a sophomore, named to Onancock’s All-Opponent team in his junior year when no All-Shore team was selected, and was a first-team All-Shore honoree his senior year.
Things happened so quickly after high school. Hank volunteered for the Army at a time when college was an attractive alternative for many to stay out of the service. He qualified for Of-ficers Candidate School and was sent to Vietnam as a 20-year-old lieutenant.
A demolition expert, he was part of a reconnaissance team that was dropped behind enemy lines and left to fight their way to friendly territory. Not all of them made it. Hank was among them, killed in action just 16 days after leaving the states.
Tough to the very end, Hank was posthumously awarded the Bronze Medal and the Distinguished Service Cross for his heroic actions leading up to his death.
The wording for the Distinquished Service Cross reads as follows:
“Second Lieutenant O’Kusky dis-tinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions on 1 July 1968 while serving as a platoon leader during an assault on a large North Vietnamese Army bunker and tunnel complex lo-cated on a hill in triple canopy jungle, southwest of Camp Evans. He and a squad leader fought their way to within a short distance of the nearest bunker. Lieutenant O’Kusky then crawled into
the open and threw a hand grenade into the fortification, silencing its occupants. While advancing alone towards the next hostile position he was wounded in the thigh by enemy fire. Ignoring the pain of his injury and the communists’ fusil-lade, he continued to close on the em-placement and threw a grenade which partially destroyed it. As Lieutenant O’Kusky released the grenade, he was fatally wounded by a burst of automatic weapon fire from a third North Viet-namese fortification. Second Lieuten-ant O’Kusky’s extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty, at the cost of his life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.”
I was 17 and watching potatoes roll-ing by on a grader when I heard the news Hank had been killed. I remem-ber picking up a potato and hurling it against a nearby wall, striking back at some unknown force.
The war never seemed so close to home as it did that day.

SPORTS SHORTS
Northampton fell to Franklin 73-47 last Friday night on the road.
The Jackets trailed 20-15 after the first quarter, but experienced a cold-shooting second quarter and fell behind 36-21 at half. Zeb Carter led Northampton with 10 points.
“We have not played well away from Eastville,” said Northampton coach Wayne Bell. “We play Franklin at home Friday (tonight at 7). I expect the guys to play much better at home.”
The Arcadia girls dropped two games in a holiday basketball tourna-ment played at Crisfield, Md., on Fri-day and Saturday.
The Firebird girls fell to Crisfield on Friday 63-16. Jaquagia Tull had 10 points, Sarah Jones had 3 and Tazmo-nique Lankford scored 2.
On Saturday, Arcadia was topped by Washington 37-19. Lankford led the Lady Firebirds with 7 points, Latisha Fidderman and Tull had 4 points each, and Normaya Harris scored 3 points.
“I feel we played much better in the second game against Washington High,” said Arcadia coach Claudia Col-lins. “In order to be able to compete, we must be able to shoot, rebound, play de-fense, keep up stamina, and have team cohesion. We must be able to carry these things out throughout the game, not just in certain quarters. I’m very proud of our ladies for not giving up.”
Northampton defeated Snow Hill 53-43 behind 19 points from Whitney Metz in the consolation game of the Stephen Decatur Holiday Tournament Saturday. On Friday, the Lady Jackets fell to host Stephen Decatur 59-19.
Northampton trailed 39-31 entering the final quarter against Snow Hill be-fore Metz scored 12 points to lead a 22-4 surge as the Lady Jackets stormed back for the win. Metz was 8 of 8 from the foul line, including 6 in the fourth quarter.
Daju Smith had 10 points, and Ja-teria Harmon tallied 8 for the Lady Jackets. Briana Williams added 7, with Jabria Brown scoring 6.
Nekel Shockley led Snow Hill with 17 points.
Against powerful Stephen Decatur, Northampton started slowly, being shut out in the first quarter and only scoring 6 points in the first half as De-catur took a 33-6 lead.
Metz led the Lady Jackets with 8 points. Taylor Nadeau had 4. D. Godwin led Stephen Decatur with 23 points.
The Northampton girls travel to Norfolk Christian Tuesday and host Arcadia Thursday.
The Broadwater girls and boys host Denbigh Baptist Monday at 5:30 and 7 p.m.
On Tuesday, the Arcadia boys host Nandua, while the Arcadia girls travel to Nandua; both games start at 7 p.m.
The final Virginia Saltwater Fishing Tournament citation report shows lo-cal anglers topping two of the 21 cat-egories that had leaders.
Gary Sigmon of Temperanceville topped the kingfish (roundhead) spe-cies with a 1-pound, 9-ounce catch at Saxis. Mary Jo Ellis of Chinco-teague led the pompano species with a 2-pound, 1-ounce catch on the island.
No citations were given for spot or gray trout. The greatest number of cita-tions was for red drum releases - 993.
There were 5,264 citations issued this year, compared to 5,555 last year. Only one new state record was set com-
pared to four last year. A 311-pound tuna caught by Vic Gaspeny of Taver-nier, Fla., caught at the Norfolk Can-yon set a new mark.
According to Dr. Julie Ball’s re-port, water temperatures are hover-ing in the mid-40s in both lower bay and coastal waters this week, perfect for rockfish activity. But the fish have other ideas as hundreds of holiday an-glers are out en masse, searching for legal takers.
Although the striped bass action continues to drag, scattered encoun-ters with big fish ranging from 40 to over 50 pounds continue to give an-
glers hope. Reports indicate that the usual haunts for targeting the larger rockfish with eels, such as Plantation Light and the High Rise section of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel at night, are providing most of the action. Schoolies are still available for wire-liners working the tubes of the lower bay crossings and trollers targeting working birds in the bay, but this bite is also slow this week.
Boats are stumbling upon schools of 30-pound fish while trolling for bluefin tuna near the Chesapeake Light Tower and beyond, but targeting rockfish out-side of the three-mile demarcation-line
is illegal. Large pods of bait, whales, and bee-hives of birds along the shore-lines are encouraging.
Tautog are providing predictable activity within the bay, with anglers locating respectable fish averaging around 3 to 6-pounds lately. Folks are finding bait where they can, with most successful catches occurring on clams, crabs, and frozen fiddler crabs. Nice fish are responding on lower bay struc-tures and wrecks, as well as along the bridge-tunnel proper. Some tog also are beginning to respond on coastal and offshore wrecks, but again, bait is the biggest limiting factor.

HAPPY NEW YEARFROM ALL OF US AT SEAWORTHY MARINE
The New Year is here at last! It’s time to wipe the slate clean and start with a fresh calendar. I’m go-
ing to embrace 2014 with open arms and assume it will be the best year of my life.
It has to be, since the Eastern Shore Post will celebrate its 15th anniversa-ry later this year. Yippee!
OK, so you’ve heard it all before — the “new year, new me” stuff. The good thing about it is if it doesn’t work, we can do it all again in the spring or for
a birthday or by singing. That’s right, singing is supposed to eliminate stress. LA LA LA!
I recently read that optimism cre-ates the prevailing factor for good over evil. So I’m going to think positive and insure that happiness will be mine by following the instructions at www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Bad-Luck
The website says to bathe in salt wa-ter (I think I can find that around here), hang a horseshoe in the house with the ends pointed upward (Do Chincoteague ponies wear shoes? And where does one find a horseshoe?), burn sage, do a good deed, pray and rearrange the furniture. I can manage all that.
Winning the lottery would tell me my luck has changed. But this site says there are other ways of knowing. “Sneezing three times before breakfast” is supposed to be a sign. Something tells me I would have a cold or the flu.
Seeing a cricket is also an indication that one’s life is moving forward. Believe it or not, there was one on my kitchen
floor last night. Yes! It is also good luck to put money in the pocket of clothes being worn for the first time. Oh, and the next time you eat a piece of pie, turn it around and eat the crust first and the point last. Don’t ask me why. I don’t know. But I’m willing to eat pie to find out.
Dreaming is also a luck changer, es-pecially if it involves clear water or be-ing on top of a tall building.
There are also websites that say positive thinking is not enough. There must be positive actions. According to www.theguardian.com, at the top of the list is smiling. That’s right. Smile and you will feel happier. “To get the most out of this exercise, make the smile as wide as possible, extend your eyebrow muscles slightly upward, and hold the resulting expression for about 20 sec-onds.” And hope the world doesn’t de-cide you have lost your mind.
I’m not making any New Year’s res-olutions this year, but for those who are, “tensing your muscles boosts your willpower. Next time you feel the need
to avoid that cigarette or cream cake, make a fist, contract your biceps, press your thumb and first finger together, or grip a pen in your hand.” And let me know if it works.
When dieting, eat with your non-dominant hand. And when “you are feeling guilty about something, try washing your hands or taking a show-er.” That latter part will make the rest of us feel better.
If you want to be persuasive, nod while you’re talking. “They will recip-rocate the movement and find them-selves strangely attracted to your way of thinking.” I think while reading this, everyone needs to wave the newspaper around. Can you resist?
Oh, and the top love tip is get peo-ple to talk to you. “If you are out on a date, get the other person to open up by asking what advice they would give to their 10-year-old self, or what one object they would save in a house fire.”
I say play hard and save the cats. Happy New Year!
Stronger Dog Laws NeededDear Editor:
The day after Christmas, we buried our best friend. She was an 11-year-old miniture pinscher. She was not just a pet, but a family member. We got a kiss and hug every day and night, and she cuddled between us at night.
She was attacked and broken in half by three neighbor dogs, from over one-half mile down the road. An eight-pound mini pin is not a match for a 150-pound rotweiller and two accomplices. Luckily, we saved our other dog; they were 20 feet from the house doing their business outside. We had to wit-ness this, as did our other dog, and she is now afraid to go outside and is traumatized her sister is gone.
The dogs that attacked are still loose and the coun-ty can’t enforce anything but a dog at-large charge, levy a small fine, and our best friend is gone forever. Etched in our minds is her lying broken in half on the ground, paralyzed, unable to move, with her tongue hanging out, but her tail still trying to wag when she heard our voices as we tried to save her.
We are responsible pet owners, but you have no rights as pet owners in this county. Since livestock or a person was not involved, these dogs can’t even be deemed dangerous; they are free to run and inflict the same pain. Things need to change; this could just as easily have been a child. Only then would the dog owners be responsible for their animals they feed and shove out the door. Then the rest of us have the
pain and have to suffer for what they have done.Our dog’s life is worth more than a small fine. To
watch our innocent pet taken away in our yard for noth-ing but going to the bathroom is unacceptable.
Owning a dog is a responsibilty, and we need rules to enforce that. No one needs to experience our pain from a thoughtless dog owner.

Coleman Is Best for Virginia 6thDear Editor:
Voters in the special Virginia 6th District Senate election should choose Wayne Coleman over Lyn-wood Lewis.
A Lewis victory would give Democrats effective control of the Virginia Senate, getting Virginians the Obamacare-related Medicaid expansion Gov.-elect McAuliffe wants — and which no prudent taxpayer should want. Problems that flowed from adoption by Congress of the Affordable Care Act, having neither read it nor understood its implications, include many pig-in-a-poke assumptions, broken promises, naïve predictions, unintended consequences, and unknow-able total cost. Exemptions, carve-outs, delays, the website launch, cancellation of policies for about six million fellow-citizens, the inability of some or most to replace without an uninsured gap of undefined length, higher premiums for all but the sickest, “adverse selec-tion” that will jack up premiums as the young and the healthy very sensibly opt-out of expensive insurance, chaos-causing attempts to correct the disruptions from unachievable deadlines … it’s early, there will be more.
Recently we learned of prospective cuts to our volun-
teer fire companies because the IRS ruled members are “employees” subject to Obamacare’s employer mandate.
Candidate Lewis wants folks to trust him that the Medicaid expansion will go exactly as predicted, won’t cost us taxpayers much, and will achieve prom-ised results. Mr. Lewis may cheerfully embrace that nonsense, but someone who accepts that either has been in denial these past several months, or perhaps is a professional politician who cares more about ad-vancing his career than about his obligation to his constituents. Whether cynical or just naïve, Mr. Lew-is does not deserve election. Wayne Coleman as our senator will help find a savvier, sounder way.
