April 23, 2008Circulation 12,000

By Linda CicoiraAccomack Superintendent W. Richard Bull recom-

mended last week that the School Board make about$830,000 in cuts to its 2008-09 spending package.

A proposed adjustment includes saving morethan $460,000 through the elimination of eight po-sitions, the majority of which are teachers of elec-tive vocational subjects at the high-school and mid-dle-school levels.

The decreases were necessary because countyand state officials did not give the school system themoney it requested.

Bull also suggested that the cuts include $26,500from the elementary summer school program,$20,515 from middle school Gateway Academy,$60,544 from middle- and high-school summerschool, $26,456 for activity buses, $77,000 for after-school remediation programs and $158,161 forteacher allotments.

Chairman Ron S. Wolff of the Accomack CountyBoard of Supervisors attended a portion of the ses-sion. “The end product I think is something ... every-one can feel good about,” he said of the county’s por-tion of the school funding.

“These are tough economic times,” he continued.“We had many cuts ... we still had $1.3 million innew money” for schools. “It shows the people of thecounty ... we know we have an obligation to the chil-dren ... we did the best that we possibly could.”

“We recognize the burden,” answered SchoolBoard Chairman Dr. Ronnie E. Holden. “Now wehave to trim. ... Our young people are the most im-portant asset that we have.”

A note to School Board members explained,“Summer school will be offered for any senior need-ing a course to graduate in August. A fee would becharged and transportation will not be provided.There will be a slight cost associated with this, butit can’t be determined at this time.”

According to a budget summary, “after school re-mediation will be offered for four weeks prior to highschool SOL tests each semester and for six weeksprior to elementary and middle school SOL tests.”

Discretionary funds with which teachers pur-chase classrooms supplies will be retained only forvocational teachers, the new proposal states. Half ofthe funds will be cut for art and science instructorsand all of the money will be cut for the remainder ofteachers. “That’s going to be a challenge,” said Fi-nance Director Beth Charnock. “They’re going to beupset,” she said of the teachers.

The division lost about $86,600 from the state,

By Linda CicoiraTwo Atlantic residents say they’ll be

forced to take up arms to protect them-selves if local law enforcement can’tarrive faster when they call for help.

“I hate guns,” said Sandy Gifford ofEagle Sound Estates. But, she’s“thinking about buying one.”

Gifford complained to Accomack su-pervisors last week that it took the

Sheriff ’s Department two hours to re-spond to a call of a crime in progressin “broad daylight.”

“I think you’ll have to agree this istotally unacceptable,” she said.

A neighbor saw two young men try-ing to break into an unoccupied house,Gifford continued. When they wereunable to get into the first dwelling,they moved on to another.

“I hope you’ll come up with a way tokeep us safe in our homes,” Gifford said.

Sheriff Larry Giddens later saidthat Gifford’s account was not the waythe incident was reported to his office.He said the caller reported that “blackguys were checking doorknobs and hadgone. It was not a B&E in progress.”

When the call was received, “twodeputies were dealing with a mentalpatient with firearms” and couldn’tleave that scene, Giddens said. If it hadbeen reported as a crime in progress,the dispatcher would have notified an-other police department, the sheriffadded. “We do have other agencies outthere to assist us,” he said.

Another Eagle Sound Estates resi-dent, William Paige, also complained tothe supervisors about the time it tookfor an officer to get there. “That was agreat disappointment,” he said. “No-body wants to buy guns, but nobodywants to ... be a sitting duck either.”

“We’re pursuing a neighborhoodwatch,” Paige said. However, he urgedthe officials, “We might need to be alittle bit more proactive.” He suggest-ed that police use technology likevideos cameras around areas wheregangs have painted graffiti.

“I understand their concerns,” Gid-

dens said. “We will beef up patrols inthat area with what we have. ... I’mgoing to send one of my supervisors toexplain” to Gifford what happened.

There was no evidence found of bur-glary at the houses, Giddens added.

With respect to another safety issue,the Virginia Department of Trans-portation will be studying the situationon Warrior Drive and Lankford High-way near Nandua High and Middleschools as a result of a Wachapreaguecouple’s complaints to supervisorsabout the rise in traffic accidents there.

Valerie Vincent said her family wasinvolved in one of the accidents. Offi-cials “need to do something before Bo-jangles and Wal-Mart” build nearthere and traffic increases, she said.“We’re concerned for the children.”

Her husband, Dr. John Vincent, com-plained that speeding poses a particularproblem in the area where inexperi-enced student drivers are using theroads. He wants to see the highwayspeed limit lowered to 45 miles per hour.

Tim Holloway, resident administra-tor for the highway department, saidhis agency will study the causes forthe crashes. The supervisors alsovoted to send the issue to its trans-portation committee.

Residents Complain About Sheriff’s Dept. Response Time

By Cheryl NowakArcadia High School has been the

target of some questionable threatsover the past few days which have leftstudents hesitant to attend classes orexcused altogether.

On Friday, several students choseto stay away from the school after arumor ran rampant through text-mes-sages and cell-phone calls that a stu-dent had threatened the previous dayto shoot up the school.

While exhaustive searches of stu-dents on Friday revealed no weapon,many students nonetheless chose notto attend school that day.

School officials would not disclose

what, if any, disciplinary measureshad come into play with respect to thestudent who had been the focus of therumors.

Compounding the situation Mon-day was a bomb threat received at theschool shortly after school opened.After sending all of the high-schoolstudents to the adjacent middleschool while the high school wassearched — and finding no bomb —Superintendent W. Richard Bullnonetheless dismissed the highschool, officially sending studentshome for the day.

It is expected that the day will haveto be made up later in the term.

By Linda CicoiraLarry Forbes, the first full-time economic devel-

opment director in Accomack, is on a mission tousher new growth into the county “while preservingthe rich history, rural and natural environment andexisting quality of life.”

He wants to bring three manufacturing or com-mercial businesses to the area, assist five new retailbusinesses in locating here, help create 85 new jobs,develop a commercial park (possibly in the northernportion of the county), implement an annual Maybusiness appreciation day, attend trade shows anddesign and print a development brochure.

Forbes said he hopes to accomplish these goals inthe next two years. The plan was outlined recentlyin his first official report to Accomack supervisors.

“I will not go out and market to companies thatare not economically safe” or that pay minimumwage, Forbes said. He later added that educationand training programs to help low- and middle-in-come residents will be a priority. “There’s truly noth-ing more important than getting jobs,” he said.

BaySys Technologies, an aircraft engineering firmwith locations in Wallops and Accomac, has movedsome of its company into the industrial park inMelfa, he noted. The company will offer a programfor those interested in obtaining an FAA (FederalAviation Administration) maintenance certificate.

“They pay good money,” said Forbes. BaySys “willbe looking for students from our high schools.”

Forbes favors the push to extend broadband serv-ices and increase tourism. He called the latter a“non-resident” tax which always provides “a big

bang for the buck.”Forbes also urged the county to acquire more util-

ities. “The Virginia Economic Development Partner-ship would not recommend an area if they don’thave water and sewer,” he said.

The director wants the new businesses he plansto attract to generate 25 to 30 percent of the taxbase. His strategy also involves supporting existingbusinesses and jobs, including home-based ones,and designing marketing plans.

A breakdown of the 966 employers in the countyshows that 456 have between one and four employ-ees, according to Forbes’ report. About 210 business-es have between five and nine workers. Twelve busi-nesses in Accomack have between 100 and 249 work-ers, 24 companies employ 50 to 99 people, and 80 em-ployers offer jobs to between 20 and 49 residents. Inaddition, 109 businesses have 10 to 19 workers and72 businesses are run by the sole employee.

Perdue is the largest employer, the report states.Tyson Farms, Accomack Schools, Byrd Foods, Taylorand Fulton, Accomack County, NASA, EasternShore Communities Services, VT Griffin ServicesInc., the Cube Corporation and Shore MemorialHospital are also at the top of the list.

The average weekly salary in Accomack is $523.Weekly pay by industry was reported as: agricul-ture, forestry, fishing and hunting - $340; utilities -$1,149; construction - $516; manufacturing - $512;wholesale trade - $533, retail trade - $357, trans-portation and warehousing - $689; information -$677; finance and insurance - $829; real estate andrental and leasing - $416; professional and technical

services - $855; management of enterprises andcompanies - $613; administrative and waste servic-es - $629; educational services - $799; health careand social assistance - $444; arts, entertainmentand recreation - $269; accommodation and foodservices - $254; other services and ex-public admin-istration - $344; government total - $864; federalgovernment - $1,329; state government - $699; andlocal government - $565.

The most recent unemployment rates included inthe report are 6.1 percent for Accomack in Februarycompared to 5.1 percent for the same month lastyear. Those figures compare with state figures of 3.8percent in February 2008 and 3.2 percent last yearand national figures of 4.9 percent in February of2008 and 5.2 percent in February of 2007.

“It’s going the wrong way at this point,” Forbessaid, adding that it’s “probably seasonal and willpick back up.”

The first annual business appreciation dinner willbe held from 5 to 7 p.m. May 15 on the front lawn ofPerdue. Dress is casual. Chicken will be served.

By Linda CicoiraAccomack supervisors will meet in

a work session at 5 p.m. May 1 atMetompkin Elementary School to dis-cuss Onancock Volunteer Fire Depart-ment’s plan to take over its billing andretain the money.

Rescuers suggested that the newarrangement begin July 1, the start ofthe county’s fiscal year.

When Lee District first began 24/7coverage in 2000, the plan was fundedby the county on the condition that rev-enue received through billing for ambu-lance services go to the county. NowOnancock Volunteer Fire Departmentwants permission to keep its billing rev-enues. Mike Truitt and Terry Payne,Onancock’s chief and president, respec-tively, noted that the original agreementprovided that the “company can/will as-sume the responsibilities. … The justifi-cation is that we are already two yearsbehind the other companies. … Thebilling funds are essential in order tokeep up with the escalating cost of oper-ations. In order that we may plan for thefuture, we would like to have an officialresponse within 60 days.”

At a meeting last week, SupervisorDonald L. Hart said the subject shouldhave been brought up during thebudget process. “I heard that Onan-cock is not going to buy any more am-bulances,” Hart added.

“I don’t see any reason we’re goingto stop doing anything we’re doingnow ... we have no plans to be out ofthe ambulance business,” Truitt an-swered, conceding that his companywould be willing to start the billingdistribution at 60/40 for the compa-ny/county.

County officials speculated thatother fire and rescue issues, includingthose regarding the public safetystrategic plan, also could be discussedat the May 1 session.

In related business, County Admin-istrator Steve Miner said, “The diffi-culties reported ... last month regard-

ing the fire training building are ... pri-marily due to the lack of adequate sup-port by the county ... over the years.”

“Volunteers have tried to keep upwith the task, and should be applaud-ed for their efforts,” Miner wrote in amemo. “This keeps putting a burdenon them that is neither fair ... nor inthe best interest of the underlyingpurpose for having the facilities.”

“I ask the board to adopt a policy offull maintenance and oversight of theplanning, construction and upkeep ofthe site and its current and future fea-tures with the input of the committeeestablished by the volunteers to assistwith this input.”

Estimates put the cost of improvingthe facility at $40,000 or less. Annualmaintenance is expected to be be-tween $8,000 and $10,000 a year.

In other business, the supervisorsvoted 8-1 to continue plans to expandthe northern landfill’s sewage plant.Supervisor Grayson Chesser was theonly supervisor to object. “If we buildthis, how do we even be sure anyonewill come to us?” he asked of localpump and haulers. “That’s why I favor

treating the leachate ... with land ap-plication.”

Local companies now are hauling toPocomoke, Md.

“Pocomoke enlarged their system fora reason,” said Supervisor Wanda Thorn-ton. “They can throw us out any time.... We’re talking about another state.”

Thornton also wanted to seek com-pensation from the citizens’ group,Save Our Necks, which alleged in alawsuit that supervisors acted illegal-ly when making appointments to thecounty Planning Commission. The

case was dismissed recently in Acco-mack Circuit Court. Thornton’s mo-tion died without a second. In Febru-ary, County Attorney Mark Taylor es-timated the cost of defending the law-suit to be $2,119.

The board proclaimed May 1 as aday of prayer in the county to coincidewith National Prayer Day and “setaside a day … for prayer to givethanks for the rich blessings that wehave enjoyed, while recognizing theneed for strengthening religious andmoral values in Accomack County.”


By Linda CicoiraAccomack supervisors declined to give special treatment

last week to a county man who complained about the costof a permit required to reconstruct his Painter billboard.

Carroll Savage said the sign was originally erected about50 years ago and was destroyed in a recent storm. It took amonth to repair the damage and 12 poles were used insteadof the initial six to make the sign stronger, he added.

Savage learned that a building permit should have beenobtained from the county. At first a county worker told himthe permit would cost $97. He was later informed the billwould be around $800, he said.

“We feel that this is a very outrageous price,” Savagecomplained. He asked supervisors to reconsider the costsince he was only repairing the structure.

Supervisor Donald L. Hart sympathized with Savage.He wanted to see the board make an exception for damagescaused by “acts of God.”

Accomack Building and Zoning Director David Fluhart

said the wrong figure originally was given to Savage by anew employee and was corrected within a day. He arguedthat the situation is no different than when someone is re-placing a porch damaged by termites. “Do we go back to allthe other people to refund?” he asked rhetorically.

Fluhart reminded the supervisors that the signs are abusiness “rented out for a fee.”

Supervisor Steve Mallette said he researched the use ofbillboards and learned that owners make $750 to $900 amonth to rent one. “It is a business,” he said.

Supervisor Phil McCaleb said he had a “moral objection”to the issue. “What your people tell somebody” might re-flect their repairs.

Fluhart said the sign already was constructed when thebuilding permit was sought. He said he was lenient in notcharging a fee for building without a permit, which he said hasstill not been issued, since fees have not been paid. Fluhartnoted that permit fees in Accomack are comparable or lessthan those in nearby Northampton and Worcester counties.

By Ron WestAt its meeting last Wednesday, the

Northampton County School Boardmoved ahead with its transition plansfor the 2008-09 school year.

With the imminent closing ofNorthampton Middle School, the prin-cipals of Occohannock and Kiptopekeelementary schools and NorthamptonHigh School noted that they have beenholding sessions for the middle-schoolstaff members to meet the staffs of theschools that they will be assigned to inthe fall. Gwyn Coghill of Kiptopekenoted that they were contemplating aname change for the school mascot,from the “Kippers” to the “Golden Kip-pers” in honor of the Golden Bullswhich will cease to exist after June.

Director of Operations Tim Smithupdated the board on some cost-sav-ings programs for the buses, including“Bus Pooling” for drivers. In the past,drivers took their buses home afterthe morning runs. Under the newplan, the drivers are leaving most oftheir buses at the buildings and riding

back to their vehicles. Smith statedthat with the new plan, the school sys-tem could see a savings of about $960per week or approximately $38,000per year.

Smith also noted that the mobileunits that will be added to Occohan-nock, Kiptopeke and the high schoolshould be on site by July 1, with finalinterior work to be completed over thesummer. Smith said that while theunits are considered mobile, extensiveon-site work will join them, thus mak-ing them more of an integral part ofthe existing structures.

The board voted to approve two newcourses for the high school for the com-ing year. A new Algebra Foundationscourse will be used to replace a previ-ously used algebra course. Also to beadded will be a business program enti-tled Sports and Entertainment Mar-keting. Both courses will be offered aselectives.

Larry McAllen thanked the boardfor its efforts to work out the issues in-volved with the transition of studentsand staff from the middle school to theother buildings for the coming schoolyear. He also suggested that theSchool Board contact other school sys-tems in the state that scored poorly onthe Standards of Learning (SOL)tests to see if Northampton could ben-efit from what they have learned.

By Linda CicoiraResidents appealing their recent

real-estate assessments are showingup at the hearings unprepared be-cause they “don’t know how to ap-proach the process.”

That was the message from an At-lantic pharmacist who addressed theAccomack Board of Supervisors lastweek. She said she came to this con-clusion after attending a recent Boardof Equalization meeting.

Maria Paccioretti suggested thateducational sessions be held. “Theyneed your help,” she told the supervi-sors. “They have no tables to workfrom. ... They have nothing to judgehow the assessments” were performed.

The pharmacist said her commentswere no reflection on the Board ofEqualization.

“People are questioning the validityof the assessments,” she continued.“The majority are not real happy ...and don’t know what to do about it.”

County Assessor Brent Hurdle toldthe board that each application for ap-peal comes with a cover sheet of infor-mation that “could be expanded on.”

Supervisor Wanda Thornton said the

problem is that 80-year-old residentsare asked to come in with informationon comparable properties to disputetheir assessments. They don’t havecomputers or know how to use them.“It’s impossible for them to do,” shesaid. “The average citizen can’t do it.”

Thornton further complained thatin some instances, the company thatdid the assessments eliminated thetype of soils, how the value of theproperty was determined and otherinformation.

Hurdle said computer access isavailable in his office.

“The data is out there,” said Super-visor Steve Mallette.

No action was taken.

By Angie H. Crutchley

This is National Earth Week, sowhy not save the Earth andmake a few extra bucks while

you’re at it? Selling scrap metal tolocal salvage yards has become thelatest pastime for many Shorefolks —hence the numerous trucks goingdown Lankford Highway filled withlast century’s air conditioners andpast-their-prime refrigerators.

Three years ago, Patrick Johnsonof Mears was told by a friend that hehad about $1,000 worth of “junk” inhis shed. Hard-working and eager tomake a buck, Johnson cleaned upthe shed and took it to Bowser andSons Salvage on Saxis Road, thelargest salvage yard from Kiptopeketo the Maryland state line. His ef-forts paid off and he’s been in thebusiness ever since. He has seen theprice of scrap metal triple in thosethree years.

“I started going around and askingpeople if I could clean up their yardsas long as I could keep the metal andthey were more than willing,” he re-called. “Once one neighborhood sawthe benefit of cleaning up their land, Istarted getting calls from more andmore people. It feels good to see someof these small towns looking betterand I like to think I had something todo with that — at the same time feed-ing my family.”

Johnson even worked at Bowser’sfor several months until the devastat-ing loss of his wife, Angie, on Thanks-giving Day. Roy “Sonny” Bowser,owner, was a pallbearer for her funer-al. “They’d do anything up there foryou at Bowser’s. I’m 100 percent aBowser’s man,” said Johnson.

Everette Hinmon, manager at thesalvage yard, remembers growing upin the area before he joined the Armyand left to go overseas. He and hisfriends would play for hours in the

junkyard because “that’s where all thefun stuff was.” Boys will be boys andwhen Hinmon returned to the Shore,the little boy inside drew him back tohis childhood haunts.

“When I first came back, Route 316and Horsey Road were covered withcans or even old stoves,” Hinmonsaid. “Now you see people keeping it alot cleaner. Their efforts are payingoff. Many of them are our customersand I’d like to thank them for theirefforts.”

To take away some of the confusion,which is the main deterrent in gettingpeople to sell their scrap metal, Hin-mon made the process seem easyenough for all ages. Bowser’s acceptsalmost all metals, including copper,steel, stainless steel, brass and alu-minum. There are small scales formetals, such as copper, which get

weighed by the pound and there areplenty of assistants on the lot to helppoint a customer in the right direc-

tion. For those with a larger haul, suchas an old car, there is a large scaleover which people drive to get weighedbefore heading to the salvage yardaround back. Once around back, thereare more assistants with backhoes tohelp remove larger items from theseller’s vehicle. A final weigh-in to de-termine the weight of the car minusthe scrap metal and the transaction isalmost complete. Hinmon remindscustomers not to leave behind theirIDs because “no ID, no transaction.”Ultimately, a contract is signed andturned in for cash.

Gage Brady of Melfa is a “newbie”to the scrap-metal game. In it for justthree months, he said he’s seen theprice of #1 steel go from $9.50 per 100pounds to $13 per 100 pounds. The 27percent increase has gotten the atten-tion of many new sellers. “I typicallyclean up old farms, where stuff can setaround for decades if not attended to,”said Brady, who takes his haul to asalvage yard in Maryland.

“It’s a feeling of accomplishment tosee a junky yard get clean and know Ihad something to do with it — and it’snot just me — the whole Shore is be-ginning to look like it should be.”

By Ron WestThe issue of expanding Exmore’s

boundaries was discussed at the TownCouncil meeting April 14.

Exmore has sought permission fromNorthampton County to expand thetown limits west of Lankford Highwayon Silver Beach Road to accommodatea possible 140-unit development thathas been proposed for that area.

Town Manager Herb Gilsdorf pro-vided council members with a memo-randum from County AdministratorKatie Nunez outlining proposed pro-cedures to be considered by the Boardof Supervisors. It listed suggestedguidelines for towns to meet in orderto be considered for a boundary ad-justment. The guidelines covered suchthings as being able to provide police,sewer and water services, sidewalks,and streetlights, and being able toshow that at least 70 percent to 80percent of the town’s current build-able lots are already occupied.

Gilsdorf and Mayor Guy Lawsonboth suggested that it would be diffi-cult for Exmore to meet some of thesuggested requirements.

Council members discussed the pos-sibility of meeting with county officialsand representatives from the othertowns that have expressed an interestin expanding their town limits. Shouldthe town be blocked in its efforts toreach an agreement on the boundaryadjustment with the county, it has theoption of seeking to acquire the addi-tional land through annexation.

Gilsdorf pointed out that annexa-tion would likely be a drawn-out affairand could cost more than $25,000 forthe town and an equally high amountfor the county.

The council also discussed the needto complete ongoing efforts to developa town parking lot between BroadStreet and Main Street in the down-town area. Gilsdorf suggested that be-cause of the location of the proposedparking lot, the town would need toenforce parking restrictions on part ofthe lot to ensure that there was ade-quate parking available for customersvisiting downtown businesses ratherthan having the entire lot used exclu-sively by the employees of one nearbybusiness.

By Linda CicoiraTwo sisters from Nandua High

School’s state championship forensicteam mesmerized spectators at apacked School Board meeting last weekwith their dramatic performance.

Luz and Alejandra Diaz got astanding ovation for their portrayal ofa police officer interviewing a murdersuspect.

Both girls as recently as last yearwere learning English. Luz is a fresh-man. Her sister is a junior.

Coach Carla Savage-Wells and therest of the team were also in atten-dance.

The students captured the 2008Group A win over Madison County by20 points earlier this month at the 93rdAnnual Virginia High School LeagueState Forensic Championships.

Before that, students from Madisonretained the title for 13 consecutiveyears. Wells said that Nandua’s teampreviously had captured third place atthe event three times.

In addition, these local kids gar-nered 10 consecutive regional titles inboth the Group A and AA levels andwere Eastern Shore District Champi-ons for 11 consecutive years.

Residents, parents and officials whoobserved the performance left thecounty office building ready to discuss

it with anyone they saw.Passing conversations included,

“They were excellent,” “Their expres-sions were so good” and “Those stu-dents were great.”

“I was so impressed with your stu-dents ... and your coach,” SupervisorGrayson Chesser said later. “It wasfantastic.”

“It was like CSI and Law & Orderall rolled up into one,” said Ron S.Wolff, chairman of the superivsors.

“The kids work really hard,” saidWells, who has been coaching pupilson the team since the 1997-98 season.

“Forensics comes from the Greekform meaning evidence,” Wells ex-plained. “Simply put, it’s competitivespeaking. … This is a form of oral argu-ment” similar to what a lawyer does be-fore the court when defending a client.

“With support and encouragementfrom the administration, staff and stu-dents, the talented team advanced 14students through district and regionalcompetition,” Wells said.

A benefit to raise money for ringsand jackets like those given to cham-pionship athletes is tentatively set forMay 22 at the North Street Playhousein Onancock. The price of admissionwill be $20.

Wells is on the board of that organ-ization.

Deeds of Bargain & Sale

Good evening Mr. Chairmanand Supervisors. For clarityand accuracy, I will read thiswritten comment. Please bearwith me.My subject, the 2009 budget,will only address one item ofthe proposed 2009 budget dueto the very shortness of thetime allotted and a very serioustravesty against one of ourleading citizens. (More on thisin just a moment.)First, that one budget itemunder “general fund”, the thirdline of general government is ti-tled “Legal Services”:The following amounts are ac-tual for 2005, 2006, and 2007while 2008 is approved and2009 is proposed. They are,2005 - $40,031.2006 - $36,843.2007 - $154,683. what hap-pened ? ?2008 - $ 239,721. what hap-pened again ? ?2009 - $245,736.The increase in just four yearsfrom 2005 to the proposal for2009 is an unbelievable and anunwarranted six hundred andthirteen point nine percent(613.9%).In addition, there has not beenone whit of value that I can seethat justifies this explosive legalsuper fund. You, the supervi-sors have not, to my knowl-

edge, presented any justifica-tion or explanation for this.The county has been the sub-ject of a frivolous, prohibitivelyexpensive, and divisive law suitand, in my opinion, one appar-ently designed to exert undopressure on certain supervi-sors. This suit was thrown outby the judge with the plaintiffdisgraced. But none-the-less,the county has been harmed bythat lawsuit. Has any actionbeen taken by our expensive“legal services” personnel to re-coup the many tax dollars ex-pended in defense of this suit?And what of the untold man-hours spent in support of ourlegal efforts to protect the coun-ty in this suit? The residents ofthis county deserve better!For many years, the county didvery well without the now prof-fered (and expensive) “LegalServices”. Not only do I not seeany need for this but there is noother benefit that I can see withthis new “change”. Actually, themessage seems to be intimida-tion along with an out of controlexpansion of bureaucracy andregulation. For instance, thesupervisors recently imposed atwelve dollar ($12.00) persquare foot penalty on anydisturbed marsh vegetation -even if it is on a citizen’s ownproperty and / or caused by a

bulkhead failure or other ca-tastrophe beyond thelandowner’s control. In otherwords, the super-visors areforcing Mr. & Mrs. Landownerto buy land for the county at therate of $522,720.00 per acre.The second point I wish tomake is very appropriate to theabove sentiments and the fur-ther waste of taxpayers’ money.But more importantly, this dealswith a vicious, mocking attack onan upstanding, moral and ethicalgentleman who expressed hisopinion (with attached facts) onthe budget. He is a credit to him-self, his community, and the en-tire county. A copy of the letter oncounty letter head and signed bythe county attorney along with acopy of the offending “com-ments” is attached.It is disgraceful and unaccept-able that the county apparentlyordered or authorised thissmear and personal attack. Ifthe intent on the part of thecounty is to intimidate us citi-zens not to object or speak outon the budget, I must say, Ihope and pray it will fail. Formyself, I will not shut up. And Iagree whole-heartedly with the“comments”. Is this indicative ofhow the county is going tospend our tax dollars?This cannot be allowed tostand. Thank you.

Supervisors Meeting Monday, April 7, 2008Comments of James T. Frese of Chincoteague

PPAAIIDD AADDVVEERRTTIISSEEMMEENNTT

Bull said.About $200,000 was included in the

budget for energy. “I’m crossing my fin-gers that that’s enough,” Bull added.

The superintendent also noted thatevery $100 paid for an employee’shealth insurance amounts to $55,000across the county.

“Three study-hall monitors may benecessary if students cannot find anelective,” the proposal states, notingthat bus drivers could fill the need.

“The high schools have no studyhalls now,” Charnock said later. Theyare on a block system, she added.

Bull later told the county Board ofSupervisors, “Anytime you give chil-dren less options, it’s a negative.”

A moment of silence was observedat the School Board meeting for thelate Devin Matthews, a former ArcadiaHigh student who had major healthproblems and had been taught athome for several years.

~ School Budget ~(Continued From Page 1)

By Linda CicoiraAccomack School Board members say they have a thrifty

attitude when spending county money.“We do good things,” said member Albert J. McMath. “We

have a positive impact.”McMath said that those on the school panel get paid only

$3,000 annually. They do not accept mileage compensationnor health insurance benefits. “We could but we don’t,” hesaid, explaining that those on the School Board are eligibleto join the school system’s health insurance group as singlesubscribers and get 80 percent of their coverage paid, thesame deal offered to teachers.

The only other compensation is attending a three-day/two-night state conference in Williamsburg, McMath

and member Audrey Furness agreed. Most buy their ownmeals during their stay, except for two dinners which arepaid for by the county.

“This is required work for us,” Furness said of the confer-ence. “It’s not like we just want to go.

McMath said the School Board fares well when com-pared with the county Board of Supervisors.

“We’re not trying to show them up,” Furness said, “but,we’re trying to say we don’t spend any more money than wehave to.”

Local supervisors have been criticized recently for allowingtax money to fully pay for health insurance for themselvesand their families. The annual salary of each supervisor is$7,000.

By Angie H. CrutchleySupervisor Wanda Thornton and

Mayor Jack Tarr co-hosted the secondChincoteague quarterly meeting Mon-day in front of a packed town hall. Theinformal process of questions and an-swers and brief updates drew morethan 60 residents with concerns rang-ing from road maintenance on the is-land to the ongoing process of present-ing their re-assessment appeals beforethe Board of Equalization.

Tarr gave an update of island busi-ness. This week is clean-up week, tocoincide with national Earth Week.Chincoteague citizens may contact theDepartment of Public Works with anycurb-side pick-ups.

Church Street is approximately twoweeks away from base paving and thefinal paving will be completed beforeMemorial Day weekend, weather per-mitting.

The town’s centennial celebrationwill continue on Memorial Day week-end with a parade beginning at 11a.m. that Saturday.

The town government began work-ing on the 2009 budget that may in-clude a tax rate of 6 cents per $100 ofreal estate, although Tarr noted it hasnot been finalized.

Beginning May 1 there will be newinternational building codes. BuildingInspector Kenny Lewis and Directorof Planning Jared Anderson will holdtraining with contractors once thestate implements a training program.

A heated debate arose over the con-dition of Ocean Hill and Bunker Breezeroads, which are privately owned by EdTull, on the south side of the island.Tarr said that Lewis will issue lettersby the end of the week to Tull to repairthe roads on the grounds of life-safetyissues. He said that the fire trucks and

ambulances average 2 miles per houron the roads. Many in the audiencequestioned local government’s respon-sibility to repair the road. “We are aDillon state which means we cannotspend tax payers’ money to fix anyone’sprivate ownership,” said Thornton.

The postmaster informed citizensthat mail delivery at Ocean Breezewill be suspended until mailboxes,which she said are also owned by Tull,are either replaced or repaired. Mailmay be picked up at the post officeuntil further notice.

Tarr and Thornton recently held aworkshop in the town hall to help peo-ple prepare their appeals to the Boardof Equalization. Jim Frese and Maryand John Jester also offered theirservices in finding comparable landassessments. Thornton said she andTarr are planning to hold anotherworkshop when their schedules are

compatible. Next week, Tarr andThornton will take the county attor-ney and and county administrator ona tour of approximately 20 parcelswhose assessments seem exorbitant.Thornton said she would turn in zon-ing, soil maps and Health Departmentrecords to the Board of Equalization tohelp re-assess properties.

“Do your paperwork … and turn itin to the Department of Assessment.They will contact you with a date toappear,” said County Assessor BrentHurdle. He also suggested that allChincoteague citizens should try toappear at the same date to show com-parable land assessments.

The island was valued at nearly $1billion.

“I recommend coming to county su-pervisors meetings. Participate in gov-ernment; you can make a difference,”said Thornton.

Eliminate Board’s InsuranceDear Editor:

I must put my two cents in about the health in-surance for the Accomack Board of Supervisors.

First, how many jobs are out there that give apart-time employee full health insurance? Then forSupervisor Phil McCaleb, to make the statement, “Asfar as the benefit is concerned, I’m worth it.” Nowisn’t he a partner in an insurance company? So howcome he cannot pay for his own insurance, and do thejob of supporting the people who put him in office?

Then Supervisor Donald Hart makes the stupidstatement that when seeking office, he saw the in-surance package as a benefit.

It just seems the board is all about taking care ofthemselves instead of the people who put them inoffice. I just feel it is wrong to give them full insur-ance for a part-time job. Eliminating their insur-ance would save the county a lot of money. Plus, Ithink the people of Accomack County will rememberthose statements next election.

Malcolm “Pep” White, Painter

Volunteers Deserve ThanksDear Editor:

Let me begin by thanking every person who vol-unteers their time as a firefighter and/or EMT. Ihave come to realize that I have taken these won-derful people for granted.

Not long ago, my son and daughter joined the firedepartment. They have been through such extensivetraining as firefighters and EMTs that it is still

hard for me to grasp all this training in my mind.When their pagers go off (this could be in the

middle of dinner, bath time, sleep, shopping, familytime, or sickness), these people are out the door withno questions asked.

Now when their pager or my scanner goes off, Isay a huge prayer, “Dear Lord, please watch overand protect the people involved, the firefighters, therescue squads, and most of all, My Babies.”

To all volunteers, I thank you, pray for you, andrespect you with all my heart and soul. To my chil-dren, thank you, God bless you, and please alwaysknow how proud your entire family is of you both.

So please, when you see flashing lights, please

have the respect to pull over. You never know wherethey are going; hopefully, it is not your home.

Next time you see a firefighter or an EMT justsay “Thanks.” … I will.

Jodi Bridges, Onancock

Republicans Must GoDear Editor:

Isn’t it wonderful that Robert Hutchinson thinksthat everything is just fine in the USA (Letter 04-09-08)? He’s among the 19 percent of Americanswho feel that the country is heading in the right di-rection. But a recent poll finds that 81 percent of usdon’t think so.

To say nothing about fuel prices, has anyonelooked at the cost of food lately? It is soaring. Ofcourse, the government says inflation is low. That isonly because they use an index called “Core Infla-tion.“ This excludes food and energy costs. In addi-tion, the country is losing jobs now and most thatare created are very low paying.

Hutchinson typifies what many feel is wrongwith our country: that a small but significant num-ber of Americans have the “I’m doing well, so whocares about the rest of our citizens,” syndrome. In asimpler word: selfishness.

If this is going to be turned around, we need a bigturnover in government this fall. Replace every Re-publican in Congress and the Senate. Let’s startwith Thelma Drake, right here on the Shore.

As a former GOPer, I say let’s give the Democratsa working majority and a president who cares aboutthe people, not the corporate and the military/in-dustrial complex elite.

PostPost Op-Ed Page ‘They’re

at the Post . . .’

My father-in-law takes credit forbeing the originator of the phrase“nervous and jerky.” It’s my favoritesaying and one we like to use to de-scribe a person who is “stressed out” or“wrung up.” You know the type thatneeds to “take a chill pill.”

Whenever Lloyd’s daddy hearssomeone else use this terminology, hisears literally perk up and a smile cross-es his face. I’ve gotten in the habit ofusing the characterization often. It’sheartening to see him so happy.

He also still calls the refrigeratorthe “ice box” and will refer to everyone’sfavorite birthday gift (aka mulah) as a“piece of money.”

Lloyd remembers the television wascalled “the idiot box” when he was akid. My father-in-law also calls a nightout at the theater “going to the movingpictures.”

Other folks Lloyd’s father’s age sayFrigidaire when asking their childrenand grandchildren to put away the

milk or close the door. We all knowthat’s an appliance brand name.

They also sometimes call their sofaa “Chesterfield.” That’s a style of couchthat “has been in existence for over twohundred years and is a true classic,”according to an online furniture store.The leather ones can cost more than$3,000. There’s nothing old-fashionedabout that price.

A friend said her grandmother andher great-aunts used to call their sofas“Davenports”; www.wikipedia.com statesthat “Davenport is the name of a seriesof sofas manufactured by the now de-funct A.H. Davenport Company. Due tothe popularity of the furniture at thetime, the name ‘Davenport’ has becomea generic trademark like ‘Kleenex’ or‘Band-Aid’ and is often used as a syn-onym ... especially amongst those born... before World War II.”

And I thought having a Chesterfieldmeant smoking a cigarette and Daven-port was a city in Iowa!

My dad says “dungarees” instead ofblue jeans. He hardly ever wears themanymore because he retired to balmyFlorida. I tell him that if he would onlycall those pants by the same name I do,25 years would instantly vanish fromhis age.

I wish I could find a word that woulddo that for me.That would “freak me out.”

I love it when a friend's mother says“batry,” pronounced “bat tree,” insteadof battery. It makes the common object

sound so much more interesting. I re-cently heard a woman in her 30s say itthat way, too. She also says “zinc” in-stead of “sink.” There’s a man fromWachapreague who calls that brickstructure growing off the side of yourhouse a “chimbley.”

My step-father used to “crack me up”when he would point out that some-thing was “solid.” From what I gath-ered, the word was a 1950s version of“cool.” Which I’m told is still the accept-able term for something “awesome.”

However, a friend who’s been ateacher for nearly 30 years confided, “Istill say ‘cool’ sometimes. The studentslook at me like I am from an ancienttime or something.”

Maybe it just seems strange comingfrom an old lady’s mouth. (She’s a fewmonths my senior.) Still, she’s “hip” andrather “keen.”

Lloyd is a couple of years youngerthan I am and he gave me the same lookthe other day when I said some fabricgets little lint balls that I call “pills.”

I remember my grandfather said“earl” instead of “oil.” My mother usedto and a friend’s father still pronouncesTylenol “tide-n-all.” I don’t know wherethe “l” went.

This friend’s dad also says “Iszoo” forthe car “Isuzu” and “Tyota” pronouncedtie-o-ta instead of Toyota.

My husband hasn’t said “groovy” inawhile. He was a pretty “far-out” dudewho likes to “chill at the crib” or “pad,”

both of which mean “home.”He denies he ever used the term

“wundy.” But, my former colleague, BillMassey, and I remember Lloyd sayingit all the time back in our days atWKRE (K-Country 108) in Jamesville.That’s circa mid-1980s.

I couldn’t find the definition in anyslang dictionaries. However, I’m prettysure he meant “wonderful” or “fetching”or “gnarly.” Or is it “narly?” Maybe it was“sweet,” “swell” or “wicked.” Right on.

Other slang from the older genera-tion on the Eastern Shore is “bub”rather than “bulb,” “pillow slip” insteadof “pillowcase” and “petticoat” insteadof “slip.” That last one reminds me ofthe old television show with Billie Jo,Bobbie Jo and Betty Jo at the ShadyRest Hotel in Hooterville.

For those of you too young to re-member what I’m talking about, maybeyou can catch a rerun on the Nick-elodeon channel.

Those were the days when womendidn’t get pregnant. Either “the rabbitdied” or they were “in a family way.”

Men like to call all southern “boys”or younger men “Buck” and “Captain”as a term of endearment.

Then there’s another of my favorites:“Be there or be square.” But you canonly say this if you use both index fin-gers to make the shape in the air. If youdon’t make it, that’s a “bummer.”

“Dig it?” I’m “booking.”“Later.”
