in protective custody, her dog was seized and after be-ing held for an unspecified time, she was recently freed from the county jail on an unsecured $10,000 bond.
Malista Ness-Hopkins, 38, of Mearsville, was charged with five counts of child abuse and neglect “so gross and wanton as to show a reckless dis-regard for human life.” The charges were brought on July 28 and involve her keeping two of the toddlers in cribs that were made into cages. The other kids were reportedly filthy and covered with bug bites and bugs.
Judge Croxton Gordon, of Accomack Ju-venile and Domestic Relations Court, found probable cause last week to certify the charg-es to a grand jury that will meet in October.
After receiving a complaint regarding the children’s well-being, Kate Bonniwell of Accomack’s department of social services, went to the Gladding Road home on July 26. She “told the suspect … to get the chil-dren out of the (cage) cribs.

By Stefanie JacksonIn Northampton County, every dol-
lar spent on public services support-ing land conservation easements gen-erates $1.15 in revenue, analyst Dean Bellas informed supervisors Tuesday evening. He discussed his findings in a presentation entitled, “Socio-Economic Impacts of Conserved Land on Virgin-ia's Eastern Shore.”
The purpose of Bellas' study was to determine if conservation places an “economic burden” on the Shore. County supervisors are interested in how much tax revenue is lost from conserved lands, assessed by land use value as opposed to fair market val-ue, meaning landowners pay less tax on agricultural-forestal lands than on residential properties. Thirty-three percent of the Shore's land cover is conserved, with an additional 10 per-cent in conservation easements.
In Northampton County, there are conservation easements on 162 par-cels totaling 12,554 acres, resulting in $283,611 of forgone property tax-
es in 2016. All tax-exempt properties in the county, including those belong-ing to federal, state, and local govern-ment, schools, and churches, totaled $3,835,918 in forgone taxes in 2015.
Bellas suggested the impact of con-served lands on county tax revenue is lessened by these lands requiring fewer public services than residential properties. A soybean field, for exam-ple, Chairman Murray stated, has no need for educational or social services, EMS, police, or other emergency ser-vices - with the occasional exception, such as fire response.
Additionally, Bellas estimated in 2016, “aquaculture industries” added a value of $114,432,000 to the gross re-gional product, and “visitor spending” added a very conservatively estimated value of $26,348,000 to the gross re-gional product. Bellas mentioned the Shore's natural beauty, attracting tour-ists who enjoy outdoor recreation and sightseeing, as one of the region's rev-enue generating strengths. He recom-mended residents “maximize strengths
and mitigate weaknesses,” suggesting more local retail options and amenities would attract more visitors to purchase second homes here.
Bellas forecast Northampton Coun-ty's $1.2 million 2016 budget surplus would grow to $1.4 million by 2036, about $50,000 per year. Murray point-ed out that Bellas' calculations did not account for the county's need for a new $30 million high school. Bellas com-mended the board for its management of the county's finances.
Dan Brown, business partner of Gary and Julie Wagner and spokesperson for the Wagner spoils site, was present to ad-dress rumors of a possible infraction at the Wagner spoils site, which was designated to receive spoils from the Thimble Shoal parallel tunnel project at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. An aerial photo of the Wagner site showed two pools of wa-ter that had joined due to seven inches of rain, Brown said. No spoils had spilled on or near Route 13 as some had speculated. Brown said that James Schafer of the Vir-ginia Department of Mines, Minerals and
Energy investigated and found the site to be within full compliance.
John Peterman, administrator of Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital, announced that the former cancer cen-ter in Nassawadox would be updated as a new primary care office, offering ex-tended hours in the evenings and on Saturdays. In response to recent sug-gestions that the former hospital build-ing in Nassawadox should be used to re-place the aging nursing home in Parks-ley, closing next month, Peterman said, “It would be cheaper to build a new (fa-cility) than retrofit the existing one.”
Ken Dufty provided the only citizen comment on the petition to change the name of Sojourner Truth Road in Exmore to Ruth Wise Road. “Ruth was a tireless advocate for the under-privileged and privileged alike,” Dufty said, and suggested that a bronze statue be erected in her honor. Super-visor Oliver Bennett made the motion for the road name change, “proudly seconded” by Supervisor Robert Duer. It passed unanimously.

By Linda CicoiraA New Jersey man, who was flee-
ing from police while driving in ex-cess of 125 mph, was killed Sunday when he crashed his motorcycle into a patrol car turning onto Route 13 in Nassawadox.
Romardo L. Guadalupe, 28, of Willingsboro, died at the scene. First Sgt. Ben E. Jeffrey Jones said an in-vestigation showed Deputy Terry Thomas of the Northampton Coun-ty Sheriff ’s Office attempted to stop the motorcycle because the driver was going 88 mph in a 55-mph zone just north of Cheriton. Those speeds are considered “reckless.”
When the officer “activated his emergency equipment, the motor-cycle accelerated to speeds in excess of 125 mph in an attempt to elude,” Jones continued. “As the motorcycle approached Nassawadox, the traffic signal was red for northbound Route 13 traffic,” he said. “Deputy Christo-pher Pavlik was turning right onto northbound Route 13 from Rogers Drive when the motorcycle disre-garded the red light at a very high rate of speed and struck the side” of Pavlik’s car.
Sheriff David Doughty said the rear driver’s door was struck. “It was later discovered that prior to entering Northampton County, the operator had removed the rear li-cense plate of his motorcycle,” the sheriff stated. Guadalupe was on a
blue Yamaha.The incident occurred at about
2:45 p.m. Trooper Ethan O. Price in-vestigated and was assisted by Se-nior Trooper Anthony Montross of the 5th Division Fatal Crash Re-construction Team. Also responding were officers from Eastville and Ex-more and fire and EMS units from Nassawadox, Exmore and the coun-ty. In addition, a medical helicopter was dispatched but did not arrive before Guadalupe’s demise.
Guadalupe’s family set up a go-fundme.com site for “our beloved JunJun. His unexpected death has left a hole in our hearts. Many of you have asked what you can do to help. Please pray for our family and his friends. If you would like to con-tribute to his memorial we would be truly grateful.”

Northampton Grand Jury Indicts Seven
Seven men were indicted Monday by a Northampton Grand Jury, two on violent crimes like hitting a man in the face with a wrench and strangling a woman.
Simon Arredondo Torres, 54, of Sav-age Neck Road in Eastville, was indict-ed on a count of malicious wounding of Clemente Domingo on July 9, 2017, causing “permanent and significant physical impairment.”
Court records state Domingo tried to stop Torres from hitting Marielena Lopez with a wrench. He accused Tor-res of striking her on the head and arm. The victim said Torres then struck him with the weapon in the right side of his face and punched him in the left eye.
During a July hearing in Northamp-ton General District Court, Torres stated that he realized he has a prob-lem with jealousy and that he had gone too far. Deputy Barry Randall of Northampton County Sheriff ’s Office (NCSO) investigated.
Danny Lashawn Campbell Jr., 32, of Wilson Court in Cape Charles, was indicted on counts of strangling his daughter on June 11, 2017. She told police he became angry when she wanted to go to her grandmother’s house. Campbell was also indicted on a count of assault and battery of a fam-ily or household member after previ-ously being convicted of two or more such offenses within 20 years.
“He started choking (me) and pulled my hair,” the daughter told authori-ties. When another family member tried “to get him off of me, he hit her.” Then he “got a belt and just kept hit-ting me and throwing me around the house.”
Randall investigated. Campbell is being held in the Eastern Shore Re-gional Jail (ESRJ) in Eastville.
Jay A Farlow Jr., 32, of Seaside Road in Willis Wharf, was indicted on 24 counts of forgery and uttering that to-taled $1,130 in 12 checks belonging to his grandmother, Patricia Ingram. The incident occurred between June 19
and July 6, 2017. Randall investigated. Jeremy Sharrod Miles, 35, of Church
Street in Onancock, was indicted on counts of possessing or transporting a firearm by a violent felon; possessing a firearm while selling or attempting to sell or manufacture a controlled sub-stance or more than a pound of mar-ijuana; and possessing a controlled substance with intent to manufacture. The incidents occurred July 28, 2017. Special Agent C. S. Wade investigated. Miles is being held in Accomack Jail.
William Trower Morris, 58, of Lank-ford Highway in Cape Charles, was in-dicted on a count of possessing crack on May 9, 2017. According to court re-cords, Trooper C.O. Richardson pulled Morris over because he needed an in-spection on the vehicle. The officer then realized Morris was wanted in Norfolk for failing to appear. The drug and a small pipe were found in Mor-ris’ car.
Cornelius Lenwood Townsend Jr., 62, of T.B. Road in Exmore, was indict-ed on a count of possessing a Sched-ule I or II drug on June 28, 2017. Wade investigated.
Leonard Leverne Victory, 58, of Ad-ron Street in Exmore, was indicted for driving on a revoked license, his third offense involving alcohol within 10 years of committing two or more of-fenses, which is a felony. The incident occurred July 7, 2017. Cpl. Marc Mar-shall of the Exmore Police Department investigated. Victory was arrested Aug. 5.
Man Sentenced for Sex with Minor
A Greenbush man was given the maximum 10 years in prison in Ac-comack Circuit Court earlier this month for carnal knowledge of a young teenage girl.
Francisco Garcia-Ruiz, 33, of McCo-mas Drive, was also ordered to be on supervised probation for three years after release. He admitted to having sex with the girl, who was between 13 and 15 years old. This happened about 20 times between January 2015 and November 2015, the last time “in a car in some corn field,” he told police.
In another case, Carrie Rae Jones, 33, of Townsend Lane in Atlantic, was sentenced to three years with all but time served suspended for welfare
fraud that occurred April 1 and May 31, 2016. Restitution of $267 was or-dered to the Accomack Department of Social Services.
Robert Taylor Lamphier, 22, of Wis-hart’s Point Road of Atlantic, was sen-tenced to three years for unauthorized use of a vehicle on May 29, 2016, with all but nine months suspended. Good behavior was ordered for 10 years. Lamphier will be on probation for three years.
Tommy Anthony Brown, 23, of Gre-ta Road in Oak Hall, was sentenced to three years with all but four months suspended for distributing cocaine on Jan. 13, 2015, and three years with all but eight months suspended for dis-tributing cocaine on Jan. 21, 2015. He was ordered to be on good behavior for 10 years.
Lawrence Nalls III, 27, of Onancock Gardens Road in Onancock, pleaded guilty to felony shoplifting on Oct. 10, 2016, and possession of cocaine. A pre-sentence report was ordered.
Four Charged With Felonies in Accomack
Four men were arrested in Ac-comack County this week and charged with felonies.
Robert Marvin Brownlie, 34, of Merry Branch Road of Onancock, was accused of unauthorized use of vehi-cle belonging to Shane Steelman on July 7, 2017. Deputy Luke Arnold of the Accomack County Sheriff ’s Office investigated. Unsecured bond was set at $2,500.
Christopher Michael Strand, 20, of Pine Street in Onancock, is being held without bond after being charged Sunday with two counts of malicious
wounding, throwing a missile (bot-tle) at an occupied vehicle and misde-meanor destruction of property.
The victims were Anjinai Blake and Kentara Tazewell, both of whom went to the local emergency room. Taze-well told authorities she went to the home of Blake and Strand because the two had been arguing. She said when Blake got in her van, Strand threw a bottle at the vehicle breaking out the driver’s door window.
Trooper A.D. Montross wrote in the file, “Both had lacerations on their arms … I observed the window being broken out … and the bottle inside the van. Ms. Blake advised she was in the passenger seat when Mr. Strand threw the bottle.”
Strand told the officer he “did not want to hurt anyone but she (Tazewell) was swinging the bottle at me.” There were two small children in the van who were not injured, Montross reported.
Leonardo Herrera-Cobrales, 42, of Redwood Road in Onancock, was charged with hit and run on Sept. 8, in connection with an incident in Melfa. The suspect told Trooper K. J. Johnson, “He didn’t have a valid license and was scared so he left the scene. Damage to the vehicle was about $4,000,” John-son wrote. Secured bail set at $5,500. Herrera-Cobrales was also charged with misdemeanor driving without a license.
Rodney L. Battle, 48, of Church Road in Accomac, was accused of two counts of stealing more than $200 be-longing to David Parks, credit card theft and credit card fraud on Sept. 4 and 5. He turned himself in Monday. Secured bond was set at $5,500. Dep-uty K. A. Reese of ACSO investigated.

CAPITAL LETTERSBy Sen. Lynwood Lewis
As summer draws to a close, we were all sur-prised and dis-appointed in the a n n o u n c e m e n t by Riverside that Riverside Shore
Rehabilitation in Parksley would be closing at the end of October. This was devastating news for the 128 employ-ees of the Parksley nursing facility as well as unsettling for the families of the roughly 88 residents. I have had two conference calls with our Depart-ment of Medical Assistance Services to explore the possibility of working with Maryland’s Medicaid structure to more easily facilitate the transfer of residents to nursing facilities in Maryland. This would be a unique cooperative effort between the com-monwealth and the state of Mary-land. Those conversations are ongo-ing. In addition, under Virginia’s new system of managed care for our Med-icaid enrollees, which began Aug. 1, there may be some opportunity for families which are capable of caring for their family members at home to be compensated for this care. The de-partment, along with the Virginia De-partment of Health, is in daily contact with Shore Rehabilitation to monitor the situation.
I have also contacted the Virgin-ia Employment Commission to alert them to the possibility of an influx of claims by employees of Shore Reha-bilitation. They have established a strike force and will be reaching out to those employees to facilitate that process along with other unemploy-ment assistance.
We have been in consultation with these state agencies and with Su-pervisor Robert Crockett, Del. Rob Bloxom and the Riverside corporate headquarters. At Chairman Crock-ett’s invitation, I will be serving along with Del. Bloxom and others on the task force established by him to attempt to deal with this situation. I am certain that all reasonable op-tions will be explored.
We are beginning to prepare for the next General Assembly Session, which will convene on Jan. 17, 2018, and last for 60 days. This will be a budget-writ-ing session. In August, the governor, as required by law, presented revenue figures and an overview of the state of the commonwealth’s economy to the “money committees” in Richmond. Un-employment is at 3.8 percent in the commonwealth and revenues have steadily improved. We ended this two-year budget cycle on July 31 with a $132 million surplus. The governor will be recommending in his out-going budget that all of those surplus funds which are not constitutionally spoken for (i.e. contributions to the State Wa-ter Improvement Fund and the “Rainy Day” Fund) be held in reserve and not appropriated. That recommendation appears to have bi-partisan support of the assembly’s leadership.
As we progress into fall, I will be meeting with various groups and constituents to prepare a legislative package and will begin working with Legislative Services on the drafting of various bills and also any neces-sary budget amendments
I continue to be available at my of-fice in Accomac and can be reached at 757-787-1094 or toll free at 888-787-1094, P.O. Box 760, Accomac, VA 23301, and by email at [email protected].

By Stefanie JacksonCape Charles' planning commission
advised town council Thursday, Sept. 7, not to proceed with plans for back-in, angled parking on Bay Avenue at the beachfront.
According to the town's comprehensive plan, a 1999 parking study prioritized Mason Avenue and Bay Avenue for street improvements, including “reverse-angle” parking. Parallel parking was standard on both roads at the time. Reverse-angle parking was instituted at Mason Avenue about two years ago; Bay Avenue parking remains unchanged.
Public opinion is divided on Mason Av-enue's reverse-angle parking. Some resi-dents prefer reverse-angle parking to parallel parking, as studies suggest it's the safer and easier option of the two. The planning commission cited no less than five reasons for their opposition to its im-plementation on Bay Avenue.
Among the planning commission's top concerns with reverse-angle park-ing are space constraints. Full-size pick-up trucks and SUVs, as well as vehicles with rear-mounted wheelchair racks, bicycle racks, or luggage racks — com-mon during tourist season — do not fit in reverse-angle parking spaces with-out blocking traffic. Food trucks cannot fit in the spaces, with drivers either dou-ble-parking and effectively stopping the flow of traffic, or relocating to the resi-dential side of the street.
Neither are the reverse-angle spaces efficient for parking very small vehicles; namely, the town's proliferation of golf carts. One golf cart could park in one re-verse-angle space, whereas three golf carts parked perpendicular to the street could fit in one parallel parking space.
The planning commission is concerned about the impact of reverse-angle parking on tourists who may be “unfamiliar … im-paired, distracted, and/or disinterested” with the uncommon parking pattern, as their report stated.
Though proponents of reverse-angle parking claim increased visibility of vehi-cles, bicyclists, and pedestrians, planning commission staff reported decreased vis-ibility on Mason Avenue with reverse-an-gle parking. Particularly, vehicles parked
to the driver's left often block the view of oncoming traffic while exiting a reverse-angle parking space.
The report noted that similar localities, which implemented reverse-angle park-ing after receiving the same recommen-dation from the same consultant during the same time period, all indicated dissat-isfaction with it.
Planning commission staff conducted parallel parking “stall counts” in 1999 and 2016 and determined space to par-allel park 66 vehicles on Bay Avenue. Staff observed Bay Avenue parking con-ditions this summer on 54 occasions be-tween Memorial Day and Labor Day, and in 18 instances, or one-third of the time, the 66-vehicle stall count was exceeded. The highest number of vehicles, includ-ing golf carts, seen parked on Bay Avenue during any given observation period was 92. Reverse-angle parking would increase the number of parking spaces available on Bay Avenue to about 110 or 112, but the planning commission recommended neither reverse-angle parking nor an al-ternative to solve parking issues at Cape Charles beach during tourist season.
Council member Andy Buchholz claimed there have been no reported accidents on Mason Avenue since re-verse-angle parking was implemented, and dismissed a question whether there have been any traffic accidents on Bay Avenue where the parallel parking sys-tem prevails.
Buchholz pointed out that on Ma-son Avenue, reverse-angle parking was the only alternative to parallel parking permitted by the Virginia Department of Transportation. Pull-in angled park-ing would not be permitted on a busy two-way street like Mason Avenue for safety reasons.
Mayor George Proto remarked, “We have a town parking lot no one uses … which is a mess and needs to be fixed,” but noted that it is not a priority of the town council at this time.
According to the comprehensive plan, the town has 27 months before action is necessary. Proto, preferring to act sooner rather than later, recom-mended scheduling a public work ses-sion on the matter.

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) announced school accreditation re-sults Wednesday, with both Shore districts showing progress toward attaining full ac-creditation status for their schools. State-wide, 86 percent of the commonwealth’s public schools were fully accredited. On the Shore, 11 of 15 schools received full ac-creditation, one was denied accreditation (Metompkin Elementary), two were par-tially accredited (Kiptopeke Elementary and Northampton High School), and for one school, Northampton Middle, accredi-tation status is still pending.
Accomack CountyAccomack County Public Schools ad-
ministrators were pleased with the over-all results. Superintendent Chris Holland, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction Rhonda Hall, and Director of Secondary Schools Karen Taylor met with the Post last week to review Standards of Learn-ing (SOL) test results and to discuss the anticipated accreditation announcements.
“To get our high schools accredited is a great accomplishment,” said Holland, referring to Arcadia and Nandua high, and Chincoteague and Tangier com-bined schools. Also fully accredited were Arcadia and Nandua middle schools, and Accawmacke, Chincoteague, Kegotank, and Pungoteague elementary schools.
All four high schools exceeded the grad-uation and completion index (GCI) bench-
mark of 85 set by VDOE. Chincoteague and Tangier each earned a perfect 100.
A press release from VDOE called out Arcadia Middle School for achieving full accreditation after being denied ac-creditation in 2016-2017. In reality, the achievement was greater: Arcadia Mid-dle had been denied accreditation for four years running, said Hall, adding that Pungoteague Elementary was also fully accredited for the first time in four years.
Although VDOE listed Metompkin as one of the state’s “consistently low per-forming schools,” there was good news mixed in with the bad. The accreditation scores showed an adjusted pass rate for English that was 16 percentage points higher than last year, and the adjusted
rate for mathematics was six percentage points higher. “That’s really unique,” said Holland. “We’re pleased with the growth.”
Charles Pyle, VDOE’s director of com-munications, said the adjusted pass rate reflects a school’s combined subject scores, along with bonuses for student who might have failed an SOL, received intervention, and later passed. “The stu-dent would essentially be counted twice,” he said. The method rewards both the student, by bringing him or her up to speed, and the school, with credit for the student’s achievement, he explained.
Certain scores are excluded from the accreditation calculation, such as those of students who move into the district. “The receiving school isn’t entirely responsible

for that student’s preparation, said Pyle.The adjusted pass rate for history
was six percentage points lower than last year, and science was one percent-age point higher. Adjusted pass rates in three of four categories - math, history and science - had not recovered to their 2015-2016 pass rates, a year when the school achieved pass rates of 70 percent or better in each of those three topics, but missed accreditation with an ad-justed pass rate of 62 in English.
Metompkin is also designated as a fed-eral priority school. “Like state accredita-tion ratings, federal accountability desig-nations are based on achievement on SOL tests during 2016-2017, with accountabil-ity requirements focused on schools that receive Title I funding to support services for economically disadvantaged students,” reads the VDOE website. “The lowest-per-forming Title I schools are identified as ei-ther Priority or Focus schools.”
VDOE says schools with “accreditation denied” status must submit a report to the state board of education by Oct. 1 describ-ing each school’s progress toward meeting the requirements for full accreditation.
Next year, Hall has no doubt all schools will meet the standards. “We’re confident
we’ll have 11 out of 11 schools accredited.”Northampton County
The accreditation status of Northamp-ton schools is a little more complex. Oc-cohannock achieved full accreditation, with Kiptopeke almost grasping the ring, meeting the pass rate benchmarks in math, history, and science, but falling just shy in English.
Northampton Middle School's perfor-mance on the English SOLs improved from 63 to 67 percent passing, but not enough to reach the 75 percent pass-ing rate required for full accreditation. All subjects except English require a 70 percent passing rate for full accredita-tion. On the middle school's struggle in reading, Northampton Superintendent Eddie Lawrence stated, “It's a nation-al heartache, to be honest with you … kids read less in middle school, outside of school.” They would rather hear the story read to them or watch a movie, he said. Students also struggle with the writing portion of the SOL, which was once required in fifth grade, but is cur-rently not tested until eighth grade.
The middle school's passing rate in sci-ence dropped from 79 to 63 percent since last year. Preparing students for the eighth
grade science SOL, including sixth and sev-enth grade science questions, was “a lot to ask” of a new teacher, Lawrence said.
Northampton High SOL passing rates increased across the board, with the school achieving all four benchmarks, recovering from last year’s shortfall in history and science. Northampton’s GCI stands at 83 percent, just two points shy of full ac-creditation. If at least two more students complete their graduation requirements within the next couple months, the school should attain a GCI of 85.
Lawrence attributed the high school’s improvement in history and science to a review of the curriculums in both subjects and making sure “teachers’ assignments met the rigor of the standards.” He noted that there are 1,000 “essential pieces of knowledge” required of history students, yet only 50 questions on the SOL. Law-rence stated that last year, both history and science teachers did a better job of predict-ing which topics would be featured in the standardized tests. The high school also benefited from retaining the same history and science teachers as the previous year.
Occohannock Elementary’s numbers were similar to last year’s, except for a significant increase in reading, leading to
the school’s newly achieved full accredi-tation status. Kiptopeke Elementary lost its full accreditation, with passing rates dropping in all subjects except history - with a passing rate increase of eight per-centage points. Lawrence said he does not like comparing schools within the dis-trict, but mentioned that Kiptopeke has a more “transient” population of students than Occohannock, with some students beginning the school year there, leaving, and returning later, and some students missing an entire year of instruction. Kip-topeke has “almost double” the amount of English language learners as Occohan-nock. There was less turnover of both stu-dents and teachers at Occohannock.
Lawrence noted, “It only takes one off year in one grade level” for schools to miss full accreditation, especially considering Northampton’s small school populations. He is “proud of all four schools” and is con-fident in their ability to improve this year.
The pass rates needed to meet ac-creditation benchmarks vary by subject and grade level. To read more about ac-creditation standards, go to the VDOE website at http://www.doe.virginia.gov/statistics_reports/accreditation_feder-al_reports/index.shtml
16 • EastErn shorE Post • sEPtEmbEr 15, 2017
By Linda CicoiraEmma Virginia Douglas, of
Withams, knows the secret to a beautiful complexion and a long life and shared that sought-af-ter information with the Eastern Shore Post this week. She is wise, fun, spunky, talented, has a wide smile and gave up trying to find true love decades ago to focus on her family, friends and God.
She also celebrated her 100th birthday Thursday.
Born in Hopewell, Md., in Som-erset County, near Crisfield, on Friday, Sept. 14, 1917, Douglas went to a one-room schoolhouse back in the day that was heated with a pot-belly stove.
“I didn’t have any other choice,” she said reminiscing. “I had to go whether I wanted to or not. It was nearly two miles” to John Wes-ley Elementary School. “We had to walk and skate on ice” she said of herself and her six siblings.
But Douglas didn’t always make it that far and she didn't offer an explana-tion to the school about her absence. “This man had geese and you know geese will run you,” she said. “That goose came out there. I hid in the woods. I was scared of the goose. I waited. That goose wouldn’t move. I had to wait and wait.” Finally, Douglas said, “I went back home.”
Another time she was in the school yard, walking backwards “as children will do,” and fell in an uncovered well. “I hit this well and down I went,” she remem-bered. “As I was going down, I caught each side of it.” Someone saw or heard her and “went in and told the teacher and she just lifted me right out.” The threat of the approximately 90-year-old memory was vivid in her mind.
Douglas looks between 65 and 70 years old. With hardly a wrinkle, she said, she washes her face with water and sometimes remembers to put Vaseline on it before she goes to sleep. She isn’t vain and doesn’t fuss about it. “I don't have a beauty routine,” she said, not realizing that she is among the few who don’t need at least a little makeup. Her long life is partly due to good genes but she has the right attitude too.
“I just take one day at a time,” she said. “I don't think about living. I don't
thinkabout dying. I just go day by day. It’s not up to me. I don't worry about things. I can’t change. I try not to let things get inside of me. Worry will kill you, if you allow it,” Douglas added. “If people do you wrong, you do the right thing anyway. Don't try to get revenge. Let it pass. I just go day to day looking at the bright side of things.”
Her parents were Roger Croswell and Mary Ethel Roach Croswell. Her father was pastor of the 150-year-old Mt. Zion Independent Methodist Church in With-ams when it was still part of the United Methodist group. She played the piano there for 50 years and on occasion prac-tices on the one in her home.
Her father didn’t have a wrinkle either. “My great-grandmother was 90-some and didn’t have any gray hair in her head … and she smoked her pipe until she died.” Douglas smoked for a while. “I couldn't make a habit of anything.” Any other vices? “I can’t think of any,” she answered.
Douglas remembers the Great Depres-sion of the 1930s. “We were all just grow-ing up,” she said. “I heard them talking about it. Sometimes the food got low but we always had a meal. They (her par-ents) always found a way to provide for us … it was different altogether then.
Living off the land” was the way. “Every-body looked out for the family by raising their own food, poultry. They prepared for each season. Everything was done manu-ally (with) the horse and the plows. There wasn't any tractors or things like that.”
After she graduated from high school, Douglas went to Philadelphia, where she had relatives, to be a live-in maid. She was serving dinner when the news of the bombing of Pearl Harbor was realized. “We had curfews in the city after that. Sirens going off at certain times. Nobody would be on the street after dark.”
She married and had three sons - Ron-ald, Andrew (Van) and Michael Dorn. A daughter, Valerie Evans, was born from her second marriage. She raised a grand-daughter, Andrea Marshall, who lives next door.
She moved to Virginia’s Eastern Shore in the 1970s. Her best friend of half a cen-tury is sister-in-law, Josephine Douglas, who lives up the street.
“She's a wonderful, wonderful smart lady and she has a heart of gold,” Jose-phine Douglas said in a telephone inter-view Tuesday. “She’s interested in every-body. Everybody in our community, ev-erybody in our church has been helped by her. Most of all, she loves God first and
she’s a people lover. She’s a very, very smart lady and I’m not just saying that because she is my best friend. She has wisdom. She’s just a kind woman.”
The two, and a third sister-in-law, the late Beatrice Douglas, were lovingly called, “The Over-the-Hill Gang,” by her son, Van. The trio were inseparable. “Not too many states we didn’t visit,” said Jose-phine Douglas. “Went to Florida, Canada, Tennessee. We’ve been all over the place.” Now, the two, “We just have good times talking to each other on the phone.”
Douglas also loves vegetables, isn’t crazy about sweets and drinks plenty of water. She was 95 before her son, Van Douglas, who lives in Parksley, learned how old she was. “A woman who will tell her age, will tell anything,” she said.
“My last days are my best days.” Douglas added. “Well, I’ve lived, I’ve learned. I don’t have anything to look forward to. Just enjoy life as it is and
appreciate each day as its given to me. I’ve tried to help people all my life.”
Her lowest point “was when I lost my son, Michael,” she said. The Marine was 19 when he died in action in 1969 in Vietnam. “He volunteered … he wanted to be in the thick of things. He did what he wanted to do.” When he enlisted, she knew all too well what could happen. “At one time, my parents had three sons in the service. My oldest brother was MIA in World War II.” Milton Croswell was draft-ed around the time of Pearl Harbor. He was never found, she said.
Douglas has been voting since she was 18. The first president she marked the ballot for was Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Her favorite was John F. Kennedy. “I was working at Buddy Boys Chicken Plant in Snowhill, Md., when I learned they killed our boy, the president,” she said. She put her hand over her mouth and said she wouldn’t discuss current politics.
She also remembers the events of Sept. 11, 2001. “That was a sad time. I think I was home when that happened. That was a terrible deal. Why do people go around killing people for nothing?” she rhetori-cally asked. “What do they get out of kill-ing people? I can’t see it … this younger generation, they watch too much TV and

they try to imitate what someone else is doing.”
Douglas talked about the drug prob-lems of today. “We didn’t hear about that then. We heard about the moonshine whiskey but we didn’t hear anything about drugs. Moonshine whiskey and cig-arettes but not drugs … People doing it to make money. It’s ruining a whole genera-tion. They don’t care what they do for mon-ey and they don’t care who they hurt.”
She has many words of wisdom for oth-ers. “People need to start loving one anoth-er. Nobody loves one another anymore. In church, if you weren't there on a Sunday they used to go check where you are … The love is gone and the trust is gone.”
Douglas blamed the lack of discipline at home for problems with today's youth but acknowledged that parents are lim-ited. “Spare the rod, spoil the child. That’s what I was taught.” But she said now parents can get in trouble for beating their children. “The parents were in con-trol when I was growing up. They didn't ask the children, they told the children. We obeyed our parents. We dared not talk back to them. Now it’s a turn around. I was a father and a mother both to my
boys and they still respect me,” she said.Douglas also debated chicken houses
and solar panels, the latter of which is visible from her kitchen door. Both “are just ruining the land. How are they going to farm? How are they going to raise the products to feed the chickens? Solar pan-els are worse than chicken houses. There is odor with chicken house. Solar panels … they can't farm it. They plant trees try-ing to hide. They’re not doing very well.” She said they let the weeds get tree-high and then cut it. “Land is just lying there. When we were growing up it was fertiliz-er that they put on their crops. Now pesti-cides have got to go into your system. The food does not taste as good. They make the chickens grow fast.”
She rarely eats meat. Douglas has been pretty healthy. “I’ve been in the hos-pital in my life about three times. I've never had what you call serious sick-ness.” She started driving when she was around 30 and got a used Oldsmobile and still drives to church every week. Her fa-vorite show is Family Feud. She also likes talk shows, religious programs and Steve Harvey, a comedian, television host, pro-ducer, radio personality, actor, and author.
By Linda CicoiraUnable to sleep, John
Lange of Craddockville, got up in the middle of night to check the Virginia Lottery’s Cash 5 drawing.
“The numbers were right there, looking back at me,” he told lottery officials. His ticket matched all five num-bers for Aug. 7, and were 2, 9, 15, 28 and 30. “I woke up my wife and said, ‘I think we just won $100,000.’ We never did get back to sleep that night!”
The ticket was purchased at Tru Blu on Main Street in Exmore, Lange selected the numbers based on fa-vorites he’s been playing for years. The retired Accomack man said he intends to use the money for some home improvement. The rest will go in the bank.

Anglers Club to Hold Free Children’s Fishing
The Eastern Shore of Virginia An-glers Club (www.esanglersclub.org) will hold a free fishing event for chil-dren on Sunday, Oct. 1, at the Fishing Pier in Saxis.
The club will provide equipment, and members will teach and assist young anglers from 1 to 2:30 p.m., fol-lowed by a cookout. Registration be-gins at 12:30 p.m. Boys and girls aged 3 to 15 are welcome to attend, accom-panied by an adult, and there is no fee. Rods and reels will be provided to the first 50 children. For more infor-mation, call 410-957-0198.
storms of all sizes have reduced or completely eliminated most attempts at any offshore fishing trips and has even impacted a lot of the open water Chesapeake Bay action. There seems to be no end to the high seas in sight as most models currently predict that Hurricane Jose will come close enough off our coast to affect the size of the onshore waves from its outer wind bands.
Still, anglers who have been able to take advantage of the breaks be-tween the weather systems have been able to enjoy limited success. The fall speckled trout run in the lower Chesa-peake bayside creeks and the appear-ance of puppy drum in the surf are two examples of opportunities that are out there. The start of the Chesa-peake Bay striped bass season is still about three weeks away, but there are plenty of small rockfish, many over the 20-inch minimum size, available for catch and release along the bay’s shorelines. The opening of the season is Oct. 4.
Spot and sea mullet are available over the bay’s hard bottoms and along the channel edges.
Speaking of the bay, Saturday, Sept.16, is the 27th Annual Onancock Bay Challenge Fishing Tournament. Eight different bay species will be eli-gible for first and second place catches in both adult and youth divisions. This popular event is based at the Onancock Wharf and is sponsored by the Eastern Shore Anglers Club. For more informa-tion, log on to www.esanglersclub.orgor call 757-709-8697.
Chincoteague – Jimmy, from Cap-tain Steve’s Bait & Tackle, reported that anglers were finding a few pup-py drum as well as snapper bluefish in the surf off Assateague. Surf fish-ermen have also intercepted some keeper sized flounder as the flatfish
have begun their fall migration out of the inlet. Lots of undersized speckled trout are being caught in the back bay and in Assateague Channel. Jimmy said that it is the most speckled trout he has seen in years, although the bulk of the fish measure only 10-12 inches in length. Captain Steve’s has a good supply of fresh spot for anglers who are interested in trying their luck.
Wachapreague – Captain Lindsay Paul, at Trident Tackle, reported that all of the recent offshore fishing trips have been cancelled due to high seas. Paul felt sure that yellowfin tuna and false albacore will still be available over the hills if and when the seas subside. Captain Paul had heard of some small red drum being caught, but flounder fishing was more of the same with keeper sized fish being a rarity. Most anglers have given up on the flounder action due to the nasty conditions and lack of quality fish.
Lower Shore – Mark, at Chris’ Bait & Tackle, reported that speck-led trout action has been “decent” in Hungars Creek. Kiptopeke was still the hot spot for sea mullet with some boats continuing to make triple digit catches of the tasty bottom fish. Croaker were being caught under the lights off the Kiptopeke Pier by an-glers fishing after sundown. Large red drum were still being released off Cape Charles but anglers were having to deal with an abundance of sharks. Mark had not heard of any recent re-ports of cobia, spadefish or sheepshead but that may be due to the impacts of the weather and the closure of the co-bia season. Puppy drum catches were coming from the seaside.
Upper Bayside – Captain Matt Abel at the Sea Hawk Sports Cen-ter reported that the rockfish bite in Tangier Sound was good and cited the mouths of the Manokin and Wicomico
Rivers as productive locations. One of his customers, Ian Redmond, re-leased two big red drum and a cobia on a trip off of Nassawadox Creek late last week. Abell said that puppy drum were being caught off the barrier is-lands with customers landing fish re-cently off of Assateague, Wallops, As-sawoman, and Metompkin Islands.
Bill Hall was the �rst Eastern Shore resident to achieve Virginia Salt Wa-ter Master Angler Status. He has been named Virginia Saltwater An-gler of the Year and Virginia Saltwa-ter Release Angler of the Year. Bill is an I.G.F.A. International Committee Representative and a longtime mem-ber of the Virginia Saltwater Fishing Tournament Committee. He is the Virginia Recreation Fishing repre-sentative on the ASMFC Striped Bass Management Panel and is a past re-cipient of the CCA-VA Virginia Out-door Writer Conservation Leadership Award.

Locals Perform on Saturdays
Submitted ArticleThe next couple of weekends offer
waves of local entertainment. The first wave is Saturday, Sept. 16, at the Chin-coteague Cultural Alliance. The Island Coffeehouse will feature acoustic blues with Izzy and Chris.
After years of playing blues with other musicians, Izzy Stetar & Chris Nacy were united at an open stage in the summer of 2006. With Chris on harmonica and Izzy on guitar, the duo performed a few songs together and got a standing ovation from the crowd. In 2007, Izzy & Chris released their first cd, Preachin’ The Blues Vol 1. In 2008 and again in 2010, Izzy and Chris together won solo//duo honors at the Appalachian Blues Competition in Charleston, W.Va. They represented the United States at the Himalayan Blues Festival in Nepal in 2011. They have performed with or opened for such notable musicians as Buddy Guy, Keb Mo, Buckwheat Zydeco, Robert Cray, and Charlie Musslewhite.
Emily Guemple will be the open-ing act this month. A graduate of Ar-cadia High School, she is an acous-tic country-oriented singer/guitarist known for her performances at events and venues around Delmarva, in-cluding the 2017 Blueberry Festival. Now often performing solo, she was the rhythm guitarist and vocalist for Nothin’ Fancy.
The Featured Artist this month is
Richard Husband, who moved with his wife from Colorado to Pocomoke, Md., in 2015. “I have been seriously drawing for 3 ½ years, mostly portraits of musi-cians, writers, actors and other artists. I paint in oils mostly, and try to emulate my artist heroes, Sargent, Homer, and Rockwell at their illustrative best.”
The Island Coffeehouse is held on the third Saturday at 6309 Church St. and is sponsored by the Chincoteague Cultural Alliance. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; performances begin at 7 p.m. Ad-mission is $5 for adults and $3 for stu-dents 22 and under. More information is available at http://www.chincoteague culturalalliance.org/coffeehouse.html
The second wave of entertainment drops on Saturday, Sept. 23, with MARSH Fest–the Eastern Shore’s pre-mier craft beer and science festival. A brain child of Black Narrows Brewing and Chincoteague Bay Field Station, MARSH Fest was created to highlight the Shore’s many ecosystems and cel-ebrate their natural resources.
With the help of local businesses like Jessica Battista Art, Perennial Roots Farms and Eastern Shore Coast-al Roasting, they’ve created an experi-ence you’ll never forget. Families will get to explore the Shore from the ocean to the marsh and interact with local scientists, artisans and farmers. Kids will create one of a kind masterpieces at the ESO Arts family tent and ex-plore inside a giant fin whale made of recyclable materials.
Favorite food spots, like Pico Taque-ria and The Local, will serve up food. And they’ll have the widest range of regional craft breweries the Shore has ever seen, including nearby breweries
at the Shore Craft Bier Garden. On the main stage local musicians and bands, like Mercy Creek, are sure to enter-tain. Angelica Garcia, recently fea-tured on NPR’s World Cafe will close out the evening for everyone.
You can learn more and GET TICK-ETS NOW by going to marshfest.org Keep in mind children 12 and under
can get in free. If you have other plans and can’t make it, you can still buy a donation ticket for as little or as much as you like to help support a great cause. One-hundred percent of the proceeds from MARSH Fest will go to send every eighth grader in Ac-comack and Northampton counties on a field experience.

Tastes of the ShoreClafoutis (clah-foo-TEE or clah-FOO-tee)Any way you say it, clafoutis is French for easiest dessert ever. Or something like that. But this we know: ripe fruit baked into luscious custard is a delicious and simple late-summer treat.
ClafoutisRecipe and Photos by Connie Morrison
Ingredients: •1 pound fresh pears, cored and sliced into eighths
•About a tablespoon of honey (optional)
•1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
•1 cup whole milk
•1/2 cup half & half
•4 large eggs
•1/2 cup all-purpose flour
•2/3 cup granulated white sugar
•2 teaspoon vanilla extract
•1 teaspoon almond extract
•A pinch of nutmeg
•1/4 teaspoon salt
•Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions:•Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9” skillet. Line the skillet with sliced pears, drizzle lightly with honey, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
•Combine milk, half-and-half, eggs, flour, sugars, vanilla, almond, nutmeg and salt in a food proces-sor bowl and process until well-mixed, about 30-45 seconds. (If you don’t have a food processor, a mixer or mixing by hand will work too, but be sure to whip enough air into the eggs.) Pour into skillet and bake 45 minutes to an hour, until golden brown and custard is set (a knife inserted into the center of the custard will come out clean when set).
•Dust top of clafoutis with powdered sugar.
•This is one of those recipes that’s hard to mess up. If you don’t have half and half, use extra milk. If you don’t have almond extract, leave it out. No nutmeg or cinna-mon? No worries. Just make it and it will be delicious.

DAR Presents Constitution Books to LibrariesIn observance of Constitution Week, Sept. 17-23, the Eastern Shore of Vir-
ginia Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), presented to the Accomack County Public School elementary libraries, a book on the Constitution. The book, The U.S. Constitution, is to be added to each school’s library collection. Since the Virginia SOLs cover the study of the Constitution in the elementary grades, it is hoped this will be a useful supplemental source for both teachers and students. In addition to the books, the DAR chapter gave all the schools in Accomack County a poster to be displayed during Constitution Week. In 1955, the DAR petitioned Congress with a resolution; this week of ob-servance for the foundation of the American form of government was signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on Aug. 2, 1956. President George W. Bush officially declared the inception of Constitution Week in 2002.

Riverside Rehab: The Solution Hinges On the Real Reason for Closure
Dear Editor:The sudden announcement of the closure of the
Riverside Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Park-sley, now about 45 days away, is of concern to many. The lives of Accomack County residents, employees, patients and their families are being traumatized by the uncertainty and unanswered questions.
Supervisor Ron Wolff, at a special session on the matter, asked a litany of important questions that went unanswered by the Riverside representative. Most importantly: Why now? Although Riverside repeatedly stated that the facility had outlived its useful life, this was very soft and not substantiated. Medicare.gov gives the facility a high rating, as do many other health sites.
The immediate need for these folks is time. Time to get real answers to their questions so they can
make informed decisions. Is the closure due to fi-nancial concerns (i.e. the stability of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Virginia opting out of Medicaid expansion)? There are nursing facilities in Cris-field, Berlin, Snow Hill, Pocomoke and Salisbury, Md. Relocating patients to these facilities would re-quire a Medicaid waiver. Will Riverside corporate ensure that Virginia Medicaid patients are placed into those facilities, rather than be shipped over the bridge-tunnel to other facilities, before closing the Parksley site?
Supervisor Wolff proposed that a public hearing be scheduled to allow the residents, employees, pa-tients and their families impacted by the closure of
the facility to address their concerns. The sudden closure is difficult and will have a devastating effect to many on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in both the short- and long-term. The true root causes of the closure must be defined in order for them to be ef-fectively addressed in the future. Until the commu-nity's questions and concerns are fully answered, we cannot properly address a solution.
Lorna Gagneux and Robert ShendockChincoteague, VA
It all started a few months ago when a local state trooper, I do not know which one, gave fellow worker, Angie Crutchley, a teddy bear.
Sorry, Mr. Officer, while she is known for her pleading doe eyes, she did not deserve such a treat. Still, it was mighty kind of you to give some of the others in the office the opportunity to hide him from her. No, I was not in-cluded in that bunch. Really.
First, Angie had to brag about how sexy she is, which is why she got the bear. Ugh! Please everyone, don’t give Angie a reason for that. The boasting never ends. Then she had to dare any-one to touch her little bear, so of course all of us had to go over and get a feel. She
would lock that bear in plac-es where no one could find him over the weekend. I’m surprised he didn’t suffocate. It was unmerciful. Then, she claimed that Smokey Bear, with whom she had posed for a photo last spring, was the father. Seriously, reputations were ruined over that bear. And the look on Angie’s face
just got smugger and smugger. There are no Yippees! in this story.
Anyway, another Eastern Shore Post worker, who also shall remain name-less, hung the bear up from the ceiling to see how long it would take Angie to notice. It was a torturously long time. I mean hours and hours. She walked right under him a few times and didn’t even notice. Someone finally pointed and then … her expression took on a look of shock, dismay and then pure evil before the struggle began.
Yes, the 38-year-old got her toy back. And thankfully no one was injured.
Now, the bear has disappeared again but this time, I believe it was of her making. I can’t think of the possi-
bilities. It’s too scary. Yet, she still has that little trophy
on her desk that she got off the “free" table at a charity event and likes to tell us she won. I secretly think she took it off my desk after I came in sec-ond in a chili cook-off. My little bronze cup disappeared long ago.
If anybody wants to bring me a pres-
ent, it is nearly my birthday month, and I would be most appreciative. No, I can’t beg like Angie, but I promise I will take it straight home and not let anyone at work get near it, although Angie claims she looks in my windows at night. Are you afraid? I am. That’s our ad manager, Troy Justis, in the photo trying to rescue the little guy from Angie. AHH!
