By Linda CicoiraA decade after Larrie Linwood Tay-

lor drove drunk and caused the death of an local off-duty state trooper and his 9-year-old son in Onley, he is back in Accomack Jail, accused of a second charge of driving while intoxicated that allegedly occurred Sunday night when his vehicle hit a pole.

Taylor, 65, of Painter is being held without bond. He was once a truck driver but is now listed in court records as retired. According to an accident re-port filed by Trooper B.E. Lewis, Taylor was driving on Boggs Road, where he lives, at about 10 p.m. Aug. 11 when the vehicle “ran off the left side of the road

and struck a pole” about two-tenths of a mile west of Route 620.

He was taken to Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital where he was treat-ed for minor injuries. There were no passengers in the vehicle. Taylor was arrested between 1 and 1:30 a.m. Mon-day. A blood alcohol test was taken, but results are not expected to be back for four to six weeks, according to police.

Taylor also was charged with driv-ing on a revoked license. Court records show he is on probation for the 2003 of-fense. A September hearing has been scheduled. The “weight of evidence” was listed as “strong,” but was not disclosed.

In 2003, Trooper Anthony Daryl

Campbell, 35, of Exmore died from head and chest trauma, according to the autopsy filed with the court case. His son, Andrew Tyler Campbell, was rushed to Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters in Norfolk. He did not survive his head injuries and died three days later, on his birthday.

In addition, Leigh Campbell, the wife and mother, was critically injured. She was driving the family’s car that day and had stopped for a red light at the inter-section of Lankford Highway and Coastal Boulevard when the collision occurred.

By Linda CicoiraShe’s been held in Accomack Jail for

more than four months. But Tonya Su-san Bundick, who is accused of two ar-son-related counts in connection with a spree of fires, could soon be free on bail.

At press time Thursday, Judge Glen A. Tyler set bond for her at $30,000. In May, he denied bond because Common-wealth’s Attorney Gary Agar said he intended to seek up to 70 indictments against her. That didn’t happen when an Accomack Grand Jury meet earlier this month. The 40-year-old Hopeton woman was indicted only for arson of a non-residential building and conspira-cy to commit the crime. The maximum sentence for each is 10 years in prison.

“I’m hard put not to let her have bail,” said Tyler, explaining that he had stipulated at her previous hear-ing that all those additional charges

Thursday in Accomack Circuit Court of charges linking him to the 2011 shooting death of a Guatemala native at the former Godwin’s Plant World on Lankford Highway in Rue.

Tyvon Lyncurtis Smith, also known as Teddy Smith, 20, of Diamond Springs Boulevard initially was charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm in a murder, attempted robbery, use of a firearm in an attempted robbery and

would make her a flight risk.Tyler ordered that the bond ar-

rangements be made through a profes-sional bond company. He did not favor a house being put up as collateral. The re-lease restriction would prohibit Bundick from leaving the Shore unless there is a medical necessity for her or either of her children, or for another emergency.

Her sons, 11 and 13, are in foster care. One of them will be having eye surgery at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daugh-ters in Norfolk next month, according to testimony. Tyler did not order electronic monitoring for Bundick, which was of-fered as a possibility by defense attorney Shannon Dunham of Eastville.

Bundick was remanded to jail until she could meet bail. She had not done so by 1:30 p.m. Thursday. When asked if she could come up with the funds, Dunham replied, “We’ll see.”

Agar argued against bond. He said that while “two charges are more ap-propriate” at this time, “we don’t know how this case may proceed. There is a likelihood of her running … she is

very aware of the circumstances of her co-defendant,” fiancé Charles Robert Smith III, 38, who is charged with 68 counts of arson. “A major threat of ad-ditional charges is over her like a dark cloud.” It is “just as perilous now” as before, Agar added.

Dunham said she does not believe Bundick presents a risk for flight. She is a lifelong resident of the Shore and her criminal history involves misdemeanor theft when she was 19. Bundick “probably will be able to visit” her children,” Dunham said. “It is not my personal belief that they would give them back” at this time. “She has bigger fish to fry.”

Tyler said he has been able to disre-gard what he has read or heard about the high publicized case. The substi-tute judge is retired and was out of town during the majority of time the arson spree occurred.

Nearly 80 arsons were reported in Accomack from November 2012 to April 2013. Smith, also known as Charlie Applegate, confessed to set-ting a majority of the blazes, accord-ing to court documents. He told police Bundick set 15 blazes. Smith is being held without bond in Accomack Jail.

possession of a firearm by a felon.In the most recent trial, Judge Fred-

erick B. Lowe said he could not convict Smith of accessory after the fact of a murder, a misdemeanor, and felony possession of a firearm by a felon, based on the testimony of a co-defendant.

The victim, Belarmino Escalante, 25, lived in Greenbush with his wife and four children. He died from a sin-gle gunshot wound to the heart.

The key witness in this investigation was Devonte Leshawn Davis, 20, who is being held in the Virginia Beach City Jail and is formerly of Airport Road in Melfa. He previously pleaded guilty to attempt-ed robbery and testified that his cousin Kevonte J. Bell, 20, formerly of Gaskins Road in Onancock was the shooter in the incident. Bell previously pleaded guilty to murder and related charges.

Davis said the three men decided to “rob a Mexican” and put their sights on a man who was alone and getting gas at the Royal Farms in Nelsonia early on the morning of July 21, 2011. Bell had a gun in his lap. They followed Luis Lopez to the former Godwin’s Plant

World, but were surprised when oth-ers showed up. Davis said before Bell drove away, he shot Escalante, who walked up to where they were parked.

Davis said they sped away to take Smith home to Gargatha, where Bell gave him the gun. Then the cousins went to Davis’ home.

In early January 2013, Smith was tried for murder. A jury was “hopelessly deadlocked” and a mistrial was declared. The jury found Smith guilty of using a firearm and possessing or transporting a firearm by a felon, but Judge Glen A. Tyler would not accept the verdicts, say-ing all charges were interrelated.

Smith, his mother, and his stepfa-ther testified at that trial that Smith was home when the murder occurred. His mother reiterated the testimony at this week’s proceeding. Smith did not take the stand.

Defense lawyer Richard Doummar of Virginia Beach said the murder charge against Smith was dismissed. He argued that there was no finger-print nor DNA evidence to put his client in the car. He contended Davis never mentioned Smith when he first was questioned.

Story and photo by Ron WestGov. Bob McDonnell paid a visit

to the Eastern Shore Wednesday to showcase projects supported by his ad-ministration over the past four years.

At Chatham Vineyards near Machi-pongo, the governor spoke of the suc-cess of the wine industry in the state, noting that Virginia now is among the top 10 locations to visit for wine in the world.

Virginia and Texas rank fifth in the nation with over 230 wineries each. The governor spoke of recent efforts to promote Virginia agricul-tural products around the world, in-cluding in China and India. In 2012, Virginia wineries sold over 511,000 cases of wine, contributing over $750 million to the economy of the com-monwealth.

McDonnell noted that the wine in-dustry attracts more than 1.6 million tourists to the state annually, helping to support thousands of Virginians.

Thurs. thru Sat. 10 to 5

By Linda CicoiraThe Chesapeake Bay Bridge and

Tunnel Commission formally increased tolls by about 10 percent for the 17.6-mile facility Tuesday, in accordance with changes outlined at public infor-mation sessions held earlier this month.

The new fee structure includes a 10 percent hike for all classes of vehicles every five years. The first round of rate increases will take effect Jan. 1, 2014, when round-trip tolls for recrossing within a 24-hour period will go from $17 to $18. One-way fees will go from $12 to $15 during “Peak-Season,” from Friday to Sunday, May 15 to Sept. 15. All other times will be considered “Off-Season” and the toll will be $13 one way.

In addition, a $5 commuter rate for each of 30 one-way trips in 30 days will be initiated. Travelers will need to get an E-ZPass for those trips to get the discount so the number of trips can ac-curately be recorded and verified.

The toll hikes were determined by the majority of commission members to be necessary to fund construction of a parallel Thimble Shoal Tunnel estimated to cost $800 million and ap-proved last May.

Bridge-tunnel Finance Director Tom Anderson said that beginning Jan. 1, the computer “will look back” as trips are taken and the reduced rate will be charged. “It’s always going to be look-ing back at the last 30 days of trans-actions,” regardless of the calendar month, he added.

In addition, vehicles towing a boat, horse trailer or camper will begin get-ting a discount for round trips, Ander-son continued. The toll will take into

consideration that although a round trip is being made, the trailer may not be included in both trips. The discount “within 24 hours would be at the same dollar value” as for a regular passenger vehicle.

Voting in favor of the toll changes were Chairman Aubrey L. Layne Jr., who is also on the Commonwealth Transpor-tation Board, Vice Chairman Thomas B. Dix Jr. of Accomack County and Com-missioners Frederick T. Stant III of Vir-ginia Beach, Paul R. Hedges of Chesa-peake, Jennifer Lee of Portsmouth, B. Wayne Coleman of Norfolk and Thomas W. Meehan Sr. of Newport News.

John W. White and John W. Salm III, both from Northampton County, voted against the move. Deborah Christie of Accomack was absent and Christopher G. Stuart of Hampton abstained.

According to a bridge-tunnel state-ment, “Following an extensive discus-sion and the completion of four public information sessions, a majority of commission members concluded that the current low interest rate environ-ment for tax exempt municipal debt, the decreased construction costs for other large scale infrastructure proj-ects in the current economic environ-ment and the timing of other similar local projects now underway provided an exceptional opportunity to begin the completion of the second phase of the Parallel Crossing Project that was first envisioned in 1987 and approved unanimously by the General Assembly in 1990.”

Construction of the new tunnel is scheduled to begin in 2016 and will take about four years to complete.

“We Now Have”

By Ron WestDuring Tuesday’s meeting of the

Northampton Board of Supervisors, Supervisor Larry LeMond asked Northampton County School Super-intendent Dr. Walter Clemons why former high-school principal Alvin Col-man was retained as a math teacher in the school at the same salary of over $80,000 that he received as princi-pal. Clemons responded that Colman would be serving as a math tutor and the funds are provided by a grant.

Asked if the school system would pay the same salary for a math tutor from outside the system, Clemons re-plied that it was possible and would depend on the qualifications and ex-perience of the applicant.

In other business, representatives of Habitat for Humanity received a warm welcome Tuesday when Northampton supervisors unani-mously approved a request to build a new home in Treherneville.

Construction of the $100,000 home at the intersection of Treherneville Drive and Lankford Highway is expected to be completed in a year by volunteers. The residents have yet to be named.

Also approved by the board was a re-quest by the Troy Ashe Memorial Pis-tol Tournament Committee to hold the 15th annual shooting tournament in Jamesville on Oct. 12. The event rais-es funds to support law-enforcement members and their families in times of need, as well as to provide scholarships for local high-school seniors.

Nick Pascaretti of Eastern Shore Broadband Authority (ESBA) report-ed that 200 miles of fiber optic cable have been installed on the Eastern Shore and ESBA has several large customers, some of which are Internet providers.

Supervisor Larry Trala questioned Pascaretti about the cost of the service for local businesses, noting that some considered the monthly fees excessive. Pascaretti replied that it is expensive to provide the connectivity, which of-fers faster Internet speed than does DSL. He added that the current monthly charge for the broadband service is $850 per month.

Supervisor Rick Hubbard remarked

that he had not heard of any classroom instructor receiving such a salary in Northampton County. (The begin-ning teacher salary for Northampton County is approximately $35,000 and tops out well under $60,000 after 30 years of service.)

Regarding changes to the system’s standardized dress code, Supervisor Oliver Bennett suggested that the schools have a fashion show to show parents and students what clothing is acceptable to wear in the buildings. (The School Board recently approved changes to the standardized dress code for the 2013-14 school term.) Clemons said the new dress code is on the system’s website and students will be provided with information on it when schools open.

County Administrator Katie Nunez advised the board that the sixth and final waste collection site is under construction and slated to be open by mid-October. The new site is located at the north end of Eastville.

Nunez reviewed the items needing repair at the former middle school in Machipongo, noting that they would cost in excess of $1 million. The items include mold remediation, updating the HVAC system, fixing leaks, pro-viding improvements to the restrooms and kitchen, and replacing tiles and carpets. While no final decision has been announced with regards to who or what agencies might use the build-ing, the county’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Department has ex-pressed an interest in using it as a base with the addition of three bays for housing an ambulance and multi-ple response vehicles. The EMS reno-vations have previously been listed as costing approximately $1.2 million.

Prior to concluding the session, Abby Avera-Press addressed the board, speaking of the need for the county to consider assistance to its 18 disabled veterans.

Nunez noted that the issue is being looked into and would require chang-es to county ordinances.

A final action by the Board was to approve a request for a fireworks dis-play at Cherrystone Campground for Labor Day weekend.

Sgt. J.P. Koushel said Tuesday morn-ing. “It’s terrible that he didn’t stop the behavior. … He’s going to have his day in court and we have to start all over. You have to be objective and impartial … it’s up to the courts.”

Last September, Leigh Campbell got a letter from the Virginia Department of Corrections, alerting her and her mother-in-law that Taylor was about to be released. He was sentenced in 2005 to 10 years in prison for two counts of in-voluntary manslaughter and 12 months for DUI. In exchange for guilty pleas, charges against Taylor were reduced. He initially was indicted on two counts of aggravated manslaughter, which carries twice the maximum sentence.

Records show Taylor’s blood alcohol content in the 2003 incident was 0.21, which is considered being in a stupor.

Accomack Commonwealth’s At-torney Gary Agar told Circuit Court Judge Glen A. Tyler the level was al-most three times the legal limit and that excessive speed also contributed to the “horrendous crash.”

The prosecutor stressed that Taylor denied facts in the case and was evasive with the probation officer preparing the presentence report. That report, Agar said, showed Taylor had a criminal re-cord which included 15 traffic charges and convictions for malicious wound-ing, breaking and entering, robbery, as-sault and battery and failure to appear for a child-support hearing.

State records show Taylor was re-leased to Accomack Adult Probation and Parole on Sept. 12, 2012. He got credit for time served in Accomack Jail.

At issue at his sentencing was his lack of remorse. He didn’t take the op-portunity to apologize to Leigh Camp-bell or her mother-in-law, Joanne Campbell, which was noted by Tyler.

“Joanne and I have spent the entire day together reviewing court documents, revisiting specific memories, as well as the painful emotions associated with them and composing a statement for the press,” Leigh Campbell wrote in an email Wednesday. “At the eleventh hour we mutually agreed, as have been all of our decisions, not to comment for fear of com-promising the forthcoming proceedings.”

In 2003, Trooper William W. Talbert,

noticed Taylor had a “strong odor of alcohol, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes” after the collision.

“Well I seen it coming,” Taylor told Talbert, according to the court file. “The car stopped in front of me all of

a sudden. I tried to stop. He didn’t give me no warning. He just stopped. I hit my brakes, got bumped on my head and woke up here” in the local hospital.

The Campbells were going to Salis-bury, Md., for a midnight party at

Barnes and Noble to celebrate the re-lease of the newest Harry Potter book when the collision occurred. Trooper Campbell was napping in the vehicle and Andrew Campbell was playing a hand-held computer game.

Accomack Grand Jury

Quiet indictments handed down by an Accomack Grand Jury and made public Tuesday accuse a 60-year-old man of multiple counts of possession and distribution of child pornography.

James Michael Bowles of Stoney Creek Road in New Church is being held without bail in Accomack Jail. He was indicted earlier this month on 10 counts of possessing videos on Oct. 25, 2012, in which young children are en-gaged in sex. Bowles also was indicted on five counts of distribution of child pornography. Those crimes allegedly occurred on Sept. 17, 18 and 28 and Oct. 2, 2012. State Police Special Agent Michael Jedrey presented the informa-tion to the Grand Jury.

Michael Wayne Bowman Jr., 35, of Duckpong Lane in Chincoteague was indicted on a third offense of DUI in five years and driving on a suspended license. The offenses allegedly occurred on April 18. He is free on $1,000 bond.

Northampton Circuit CourtAn Exmore man was sentenced

Monday in Northampton Circuit Court to a total of 40 years in prison for mali-cious wounding.

William Cordale Berryhill, 24, was given 20 years each for two counts of the offense, to run concurrently, with all but five years suspended. The inci-dent occurred at a nightspot last Sep-tember. Berryhill also was ordered to be on probation for five years. He pleaded guilty to the crimes last March.

Fontain Marrow, 35, of Cape Charles pleaded guilty to three counts of a third or subsequent offense of larceny, occur-ring Oct. 15, 2012, from Cape Charles ABC Store.

Sentencing was deferred until a pre-sentence report is completed for:

•Joseph Willliam Pae, 51, of Ex-more, who pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with the intent to distrib-ute cocaine and a count of possession with the intent to distribute oxycodone;

•Daniel L. Gregg, 24, of Tuskegee, Ala., who pleaded guilty to forging a public document, giving false identifi-cation, driving on a suspended license and speeding;

•Charles Alan Lewis, Jr., 25, of Cheriton, who pleaded guilty to pos-session of oxycodone, buprenorphine and drug paraphernalia.

Accomack Circuit CourtWilliam Lee Thompson, 50, of First

Lane in Onley was convicted in Ac-comack Circuit Court last week of il-legally distributing drugs. Thompson pleaded not guilty to distribution of diazepam, occurring Nov. 11, 2011, and distribution of methylphenidat, occur-

ring Feb. 9, 2012. A presentence report was ordered. Thompson was released on existing bond until sentencing.

Bond was denied for Kevin Leigh Taylor, 42, of Anne’s Cove Road in Bloxom. Taylor is being held on counts of breaking into the home of Teresa Annis and violating a protective order on July 16.

The case of Jonathan Paul Belote, 19, of Christopher Lane in Painter, accused of two counts of robbery and use of a firearm in those felonies was continued pending a youthful offender evaluation. Belote was charged with robbing Stop and Shop Convenience Store on Lankford Highway in Painter last November.

Coolidge-Reed was sentenced to 62 days in jail, with 60 days suspended. The collision occurred at the intersec-tion of Routes 13 and 180 and caused more than $1,000 in damages.

Heather Nicole Sturgis, 18, of Holly Ridge Drive on Chincoteague was ar-rested Aug. 5 after being charged with stealing three Gateway laptops and a projector belonging to Accomack Coun-ty on Aug. 3, according to records filed in district court. Deputy Lenny Foxwell of the Accomack County Sheriff ’s Of-fice investigated. Sturgis was released on $4,000 bail.

The Virginia Depart-ment of Transportation (VDOT) is beginning a roundabout project to improve traffic flow and

intersection capacity in Tasley.Branscome, Inc. was awarded

the $1.08 million contract to in-stall a roundabout at the intersec-tions of Tasley Road (Business Route 13), Greenbush Road (Route 316), and Fairgrounds Road (Route 126). The project is being funded by a combina-tion of state and federal funds.

This will be the first roundabout on the Eastern Shore. Roundabouts are generally small in diameter and re-quire slow speeds. Traffic flows coun-ter-clockwise around a center island, and entering traffic yields to circulat-ing traffic.

“This is a much-needed project that has been on the table for a long time. We’re excited to see it get started,” said Chris Isdell, VDOT Accomac residency administrator. “Like anything new, it may take some getting used to, but we think motorists will be pleased with the roundabout and how it will main-tain safe and efficient traffic flow.”

During construction, the intersec-tion will be closed to traffic. Signed de-tours will be in place. Motorists should anticipate minor delays.

The project is scheduled for comple-tion this fall.

Story and photo by Ron WestThe Third Annual Chesapeake Bay Buy Boat event

found 11 of the vessels steaming into Cape Charles Harbor last Friday.

The boats, which once plied the creeks and rivers of the bay, were designed to purchase seafood from the hundreds of local watermen who dredged for oysters and clams or who gathered other seafood that called the bay home. Designed with stout hulls that could carry several tons of seafood, they would act as the middleman and carry their products to larger city markets from Norfolk to Baltimore, thus leav-ing the watermen to continue gathering seafood without having to make long trips to sell their products at a market.

Buy boats were typically 40 to 90 feet long and most had a foredeck with an open hold for storage of produce or freight. A deckhouse generally was located aft, allowing the captain a full view of the loading activity. Buy-boat use tended to decline as more bridges and highways were built, allowing trucks to transport produce to markets faster and more efficiently than the older, slower vessels.

During World War II, many buy boats were requisitioned by the U.S. government to serve as patrol vessels to hunt U-boats that menaced shipping on the Atlantic Coast. The vessels were lightly armed and often manned by their former owners. A similar program that requested yachts from own-ers helped give rise to the modern Coast Guard Auxiliary. Af-ter the war, the vessels were returned to their former owners.

Typical of the buy boats that filed into Cape Charles Har-bor Friday was the F.D. Crockett, built in 1924 on the York River by Alex Gaines of Dare and finished by John F. Smith at Smith Marine Railway. It serves as a good example of how well these boats were built and have been preserved. The Crockett is owned by the Deltaville Maritime Museum and has seen a varied life since she first rolled down the marine railway nearly 90 years ago.

According to crewman Johnny McQueen, she was de-signed to carry freight of all types, much like today’s big-rigs do on the highways. She carried everything from lumber to hay to produce and later saw service carrying seafood, fin-ishing her career in the 1990s dredging oysters. With the holds filled with cargo, she often had her decks stacked with additional products such as lumber or produce.

Capt. John England noted that the Crockett is one of only two boats of her design still operational, having been built from logs rather than the traditional plank-and-rib design seen on most wooden boats.

After her retirement, the Crockett was donated to the Deltaville Maritime Museum in 2005 by Ron Turner, a de-scendant of the Smiths, and towed up the bay from Poquo-son. It took seven years and over 8,500 hours of work by volunteers to refurbish the vessel to the point where she could once again sail the Chesapeake Bay. England said she originally was powered by a 24 HP Lathrop gas engine but now has a 671 Gray Marine powerplant which speeds the

Crockett along between 7 and 8 knots (about 8 to 9 miles per hour). Burning less fuel than most modern outboards, the stingy engine on the 16-ton vessel has enough range to sail almost anywhere in the bay on a tank of fuel.

Alberta Flowers, born the year the boat was built, used the Crockett as a playhouse and helped rededicate it in 2011. The F.D. Crockett is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and in the Virginia Landmarks Register.

The buy boat Thomas J, at home on Sarah’s Creek in Gloucester, is a generation newer than the Crockett. Built in 1948, she is still in use today. According to Capt. Tom Parker, Thomas J is capable of carrying 900 bushels of oys-ters. As with most of the buy boats, Thomas J has been re-powered with a more modern diesel engine, which can push the 52-foot craft at about 8 knots.

A walking tour through both vessels demonstrated that they were built for transport and not for the comfort of the crew. A crew of four slept in a space up forward roughly the size of a small tent. The galley, found in the small deckhouse aft, could easily fit into the smallest of pantries in a modern home. Preparing a meal of stew or soup at the tiny stove and eating it at a small shelf-like table would challenge any modern chef or crew. With no shower and a primitive head (toilet), spending several days underway on a buy boat was not a challenge for the faint of heart.

The buy boats have taken part in a round-the-bay cruise during the first half of August, visiting Hampton, Norfolk, Urbana, Poquoson, and Smithfield before reaching Cape Charles, where they welcomed visitors over the weekend. The vessels set sail from the harbor on Sunday, bound for Tangier, the last port visit of the summer.

While the way of life experienced on the buy boats, as well as the watermen who sold to them, has all but passed, anyone who would like to sample a taste of that life would do well to find the time to walk the decks of one of these fine vessels.

Thomas J sits at her dock in Cape Charles harbor.

Cape Charles Resident Dies at Duke

Mr. Michael F. Lucier, 68, of Cape Charles, formerly of Milford, Mass., died Tueday, July 30, 2013, at Duke University Medical Center in Dur-ham, N.C. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family after coura-geously fighting a short, aggressive battle with cancer.

Mr. Lucier was born in Milford, the son of the late Edward J. and Helen G. (Kerns) Lucier. He attended the former St. Mary’s Grammar School and graduated from the former St. Mary’s High School in 1962. He re-ceived a Bachelor’s Degree in Engi-neering from Virginia Tech in 1966. He was a resident of Virginia for the past 45 years.

After working for General Electric for 27 years, Mr. Lucier retired in 2005. He was a very active Rotarian,

serving as president of The Rotary Club of James City County during 2003 and 2004 and later as secretary of the Cape Charles Rotary Club. He was also a 4th Degree in the Knights of Columbus. But his real pride and joy was his family, including his wife of 39 years, Jeanette (Rooney) Lucier; two children; and two grandchildren. He enjoyed spending time with his golf buddies and could be found on the links most Wednesdays and Fri-days. If he was not on the course, he and his wife were likely on an adven-ture to somewhere spectacular like New Zealand, Italy, or Ireland. He was, as he often proclaimed, “living the dream.”

In addition to his wife, Mr. Lucier is survived by his son, Michael L. Luci-er (and wife, Kimberly) of Charlotte, N.C.; daughter Amie M. Hows (and husband, Melton Paul Hows) of Hous-ton, Texas; grandchildren, Tyson and Avery Lucier of Charlotte; siblings, Sister Theresa Lucier, S.P., of Milford, Marie Geraghty Campbell of Frank-lin, Mass., Anne Connoni of Holliston, Mass., Regina Langevin of Manomet,

Mass., Margaret Sullivan of Franklin, Bernadette Lucier of Santa Monica, Cal., Alice Scano of Hopedale, Mass., Emery Lucier of Milford, Joseph and Peter Lucier of Grover Beach, Cal., and Paul Lucier of Sanford, Maine; as well as many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. Mr. Lucier was the brother of the late Edward J. Lucier Jr., the late Marie A. Lucier and the late Helen L. Ford.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 17, at St. Charles Catholic Church in Cape Charles. A reception will follow.

By Linda CicoiraResidents in Accomack and Northampton counties

agree that the minimum wage needs to be increased, according to results of an email survey conducted this week by the Eastern Shore Post.

The majority of participants favor bumping up the hourly stipend of $7.25 set in 2009, to $10. On aver-age the amount suggested was $10.21, with women looking for slightly more, an average of $10.33.

Eighty-six percent of the survey-takers favor in-creasing the wage. The remaining 14 percent wrote that they struggled with the question.

Michael Stephano of Cashville said minimum pay should at least be “ ‘a living wage.’ Eleven dollars an hour does not seem like much considering the cost of fuel. When I was a kid I could fill up my car for $3.60. My wage at that time was $2.75. For two hours of work I was able to buy fuel and lunch.”

Stephano started working when minimum pay was $2.35 an hour. When he was 12, he worked with his father as a charter boat mate. “I got tips which equaled about $20 a day. That was in the ’60s. My first ‘real’ job was $2.35 an hour working in a bicycle shop as a mechanic.”

“I cannot say I have ever had a really bad job as long as I was being paid,” Stephano added. But the best position was as a “yacht delivery captain.” In between deliveries, he fished commercially. “Great work and lots of freedom and money.”

Now he sells real estate. “At this stage in my life I like what I am doing,” but as with most folks, he’d like to make more money. Stephano favors “any busi-ness that pays a living wage and respects the people that help the business succeed.”

Robert J. Peters of Horsey said minimum wage should be “at least $10.” His first job was mowing lawns for $1 an hour. The worst job Peters ever had was picking potatoes. The best position was with an insurance company where he met his wife. But his dream post is the one he has now — retirement. Pe-ters wants to see another discount box store come to the Shore.

Dawn Conquest of Onancock suggested a $13 min-imum wage be initiated. The hourly pay was $6.75 when she started working. “My first job was in New York when I was 13,” said Conquest. “I worked at a place called Westbury Village Hall where they dealt with housing and zoning stuff.”

“I never really had a bad job,” she continued. “The job I have now I really enjoy. I am a kindergarten teacher. My dream job when I was younger was to be a chef.” Conquest would “love to see centers for active senior citizens” on the Shore. “Places where they can

dance, play games, exercise and just move around. Some senior citizens are just thrown in a nursing home and play bingo and watch TV all day. There are plenty of seniors who may be up in age, but still like to move!”

Micaela Barnhill of Greenbackville said “mini-mum wage should be at least $10 an hour, not a liv-ing wage but at least a chance to have some jingle in your jeans.”

“My first job at TRW (now Northrup-Grumman) was a Technical Editor,” she said. “I made $2.50 an hour, for which I had to have a college degree. I made $100 a week and my take-home was $80.”

“Some of the projects I worked over the years were nasty, but when they were over, I moved on to the next one, so no one job stands out as the worst,” she said. “The most fun I had was as a waitress in a German restaurant, waiting tables in my dirndl (skirt) and peasant blouse, carrying four pitchers of beer, two in each fist, and getting pinched by the old men. It was hard work, but I paid the rent with the tips I made.”

“My dream job is the one I have now: retirement,” Barnhill said. “It took me about a year to wind down, but now I’m fully committed. I would like to see more medical specialists on our side of the state line. I really resent having to travel an hour to get to Salisbury and put up with all that traffic and those nearly impossible medical offices to find tucked away in places I never knew existed. I find that very dis-orienting. Now that Atlantic Medical has its new fa-cility in New Church there should be room for some

medical consortium to build offices closer to home.”Former professor Hal Koenig of Exmore said mini-

mum wage should be about $12 an hour. It was $1.50 when he started working. Koenig “delivered pre-scriptions and other stuff by bicycle.” He “was paid $1 an hour plus some tips.”

“I never had a bad job but I guess cleaning bath-rooms at a public pool was the least pleasant,” said Koenig. “Working for the people of the Eastern Shore at the community college and, of course, Grandpa,” were his favorite employers.

“I have it now,” he said of his dream job – “Retired traveler.”

“Manufacturing jobs offer the best salaries, gener-ally, but every community wants them and there are very few such companies,” Koenig added.

J.W. Jeffries of Chincoteague Island said $10 should be the minimum hourly pay. It was $2.25 back in his day. His first job was cutting grass. He got “$1.25 to $2.50 per yard depending on size.” His worst job was as a seasonal worker. “The supervi-sor was an idiot,” he said. Being a chemistry teacher was his favorite profession because of the “great stu-dents.” Also now retired, Jeffries says he is “living my dream.” He wants “any large company with technical opportunities for our youth” to come to the area.

Nancy Kimidy of Onancock also said the wage should be $10 an hour. It was 65 cents when she started working as a “sales girl.” It was her first and worst job. “Very hard work, low pay,” she wrote.

Kimidy was later a medical staff secretary and “loved working in the hospital.” Her dream job was “to be a nurse” but it “never happened.” She would like to see a Denny’s restaurant come to the Shore.

“Sifting pepper at the Baltimore Spice Company” was the worst job Lloyd Smith of Pungoteague said he ever had. He got paid $2.30 an hour, which was minimum wage in 1977. He wants a bowling alley to be constructed closer to home.

Maria Paccioretti of Atlantic said minimum wage should be $10. At 16 years old, she got her first job “folding picked-over clothing at a department store. She can’t remember the pay except that it wasn’t much.

The worst job Paccioretti ever had was “packing Christmas bows on an assembly line.” It was a “very loud factory and co-workers hated us college stu-dents because we worked to music and worked too fast!” The pay was by the piece.

Now being a pharmacist at H&H Pharmacy on Chincoteague is the best. “Nice co-workers and cus-tomers!” Her dream job is “camp hosting around the country in my RV.” She wants “anything sustain-

What Do You Think Is the Least Anyone Should Be Paid?And What Is Your Dream Job Anyway?

This week’s survey asked:

•What do you think the minimum wage should be? •What was the minimum wage when you started working? •What was your first job? How much did you get paid? •What is the worst job you’ve ever had? Why? •What was the best job you’ve ever had? Why? •What is your dream job? •What business would you like to see on the Eastern Shore?


able, offering a good wage and advancement opportunity” to come to the Eastern Shore.

Jill Jester of Chincoteague said minimum wage should be $9 an hour. It was $2.10 an hour when she got her first job as a hostess at Beachway Restaurant on the island. Her worst job was waiting tables. “I’m a terrible waitress!” she said. “My current position, civil service with the Navy” is the best. “I’ve been here for 29 years and I work with some really great people and we have a very important mission: support the fleet.”

Still she has a dream to get “Samantha Brown’s job on the Travel Channel!” Brown hosts “Great Weekends, Passport to Europe, Passport to Latin America and Great Hotels.” Jester said more restau-rants are needed on Chincoteague Island, “not more motels and T-shirt shops!”

Jack Mason of Metompkin Bay said the wage should be “whatever you’re really worth.” He doesn’t recall one from the 1940s. But, a government website

shows it was 30 cents in 1939 and rose to 40 cents in 1945.

Mason’s first job was work-ing at Wash Lilliston’s grader

shed, making 60 cents an hour. He said the worst job he ever had was pick-ing strawberries for 5 cents a quart.” The best was “running Mason-

Davis Company,” a real-estate firm. “I paid my-

self. I was good, and I was generous.”

Mason’s dream was to be a writer and he also accomplished that.

Asked what business should come to the Shore, he replied, “The U.S. government couldn’t run The Mustang Ranch, but I’ll bet a local could do it.”

“In a perfect world, there should be no minimum wage,” wrote Vic Peppler of Wachapreague. “But too many companies do not pay a ‘living wage’ for even their adult employees these days.” His first job was working on his father’s charter boat for $5 a day plus tips. The worst position he ever had was at a sub shop in Delaware where he learned during the first week that the boss wanted to pay him “under the

table at 90 cents per hour.”“Working for W.L. Gore & Associates as a research

associate,” was his favorite post. He listed “decent pay, 23 vacation days and 13 holidays per year, plus profit sharing and stock options” as the perks. Pep-pler’s dream job is “owning a guitar/music shop.” He’d like to see more NASA-related jobs, a bowling alley, a good dry cleaners (and) more locally owned, non-chain stores.”

Jim Kaczmarek of Parksley said the wage should be increased by 25 cents to $7.50 an hour. It was $3.35 when he started working in 1981. He made $3.50 an hour at his first job at a dry cleaning plant when he was 16. Before that, Kaczmarek had a paper route.

The best job he ever had was working for the U.S. Navy from 1984 to 1993. “I say it was the best job be-cause I was serving our country and not just myself. Got to see the world and learn a trade, which led to a better life in the long run.”

He’s working at his dream job being self-employed solving other people’s HVAC/R problems. “Almost as rewarding as serving in the military but with much better pay,” he said.

“We need an indoor gun range,” Kaczmarek sug-gested. “A safe indoor place to target practice in a climate controlled setting.”

A Terrier-Improved Malemute sub-orbital rocket carrying experiments developed by university students na-tionwide in the RockSat-X program was successfully launched at 6 a.m. Tuesday from NASA’s launch range at the Wallops Flight Facility.

The RockSat-X program is con-ducted with the Colorado Space Grant Consortium. The goal of the program is to provide students a hands-on ex-perience in developing experiments for space flight. This experience al-lows these students to apply what they have learned in the classroom to a real world hands-on activity.

RockSat-X was lofted to an alti-tude of approximately 94 miles above the Atlantic Ocean before landing via parachute about 90 miles from Wal-lops, to be recovered.

The students in the program re-ceived their experiments later in the day to see how they performed and be-

gin data analysis.Additionally, several experiments

transmitted data during the flight down to Wallops via a telemetry sys-tem on board the rocket.

The next rocket launch from Wal-lops is an U.S. Air Force Minotaur V carrying NASA’s Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) at 11:27 p.m. EDT, Sept. 6. The backup launch days will be Sept. 7 – 10.

LADEE is a robotic mission that will orbit the moon to gather de-tailed information about the lunar atmosphere, surface conditions and environmental influences on lunar dust. A thorough understanding of these characteristics of our near-est celestial neighbor will help re-searchers understand other bodies in the solar system, such as Mer-cury, outer planet moons and larger asteroids.

Wallops Records Successful Launch; Next Launch Sept. 6

said minimum pay should at least be “ ‘a living wage.’ Eleven dollars an hour does not seem

like much considering the cost of fuel.”

PASTIMES

By BillSterling

SPORTSGolf Is A Game for All Ages and Skills

Posting

UP

My tennis elbow is certainly affect-ing my golf game.

There was a moment I thought the gash on my arm I mentioned in last week’s column had something to do with the pain I was feeling when I swung a golf club. But a friend pointed out I was complaining about my elbow before the cut. So much for that theory.

And this week a doctor diagnosed that I have that injury so common to athletes and people who use a repetitive motion in their work — tennis elbow.

My doctor had little sympathy when I told him I would probably give my golf game a break.

“I subscribe to Mark Twain’s theory that golf is ‘a good walk spoiled,’ ” said the good doctor.

I even had one tennis player tell me he once had the condition so bad that he tried to play with his other hand.

I am not even remotely ambidex-trous, so that is not a solution.

Still, I enjoyed playing golf twice in the past week, first with a group of fra-ternity brothers and then with some

family members.Golf is one of the few games you

can enjoy for a lifetime with players of varying ages and skills.

Golfers are very fortunate on the Shore to have great options when hit-ting the links.

On Friday I played at Bay Creek, where head pro Joe Burbee is always hospitable and the attendants very friendly.

The Palmer and Nicklaus courses at Bay Creek are both gems — having often being recognized by national golf magazines — and the rave reviews of visitors last week made me appreciate that fact even more.

Playing with fraternity brothers, some of whom I have not seen in 40 years, was as much about fellowship as it was about making shots.

In my group we had a player who shot in the low 80s and another who was well north of 100. I was neither of those players.

But it was all fun.And proving it is a small world,

Burbee is a graduate of Miami of Ohio, where our fraternity, Phi Delta Theta, was founded

On Monday, I played with my father, brother and a family friend at Eastern Shore Yacht and Country Club.

Dad is 84, powerfully built for a man his age and proud of the fact he contin-ues to hit from the white tees with his sons, although he has long earned the right to move up to a forward tee.

Not having played with him for sev-eral years now, I was amazed he still had decent length off the tees and a nice short game. We both need a les-son on the greens as we three-putted far too often.

It will be a round of golf I will cher-ish for a long time.

I had been hearing in recent months

what great condition the ESY&CC course is in, despite the fact it is now over 50 years old.

I saw first-hand Monday the greens are in the best shape I have seen them for many years now, and the fairways are smooth and offer great lies in most locations.

Michael Parah, the golf pro at ESY&CC for the past 18 months, always has been extremely helpful and friendly to me since he arrived on the scene.

I asked him Monday what were the factors leading to the improved condi-tion of the course.

“Our course superintendent, Andrew Howard, started here March 1 and has a vast knowledge of working with bent grass on our greens and Bermuda grass on the fairways. He has an agronomi-cal program that is reaping benefits. We talk every day about our approach to maintaining the course, and the results have been excellent,” said Parah.

Parah, 51, said golf programs for both youth and adults have been ramped up and participation is in-creasing in club tournaments, always a good sign.

I also have heard several golfers state how pleased they were after get-ting golf lessons from Parah, a scratch handicapper who played on the Nike Tour in 1994-95 and typically shoots between 67 and 73 on the par 70 layout at ESY&CC.

“My basic principles are for golfers to have a weight shift and rotate the body using the big muscles. Golfers using the small muscles are going to be hot and cold with their game,” ex-plained Parah, who said he benefited from taking lessons from some excel-lent instructors.

Originally from the Upper Adiron-dacks, Parah became a golf pro in a very unusual way. He majored in mu-

sic at the Crane School in upstate New York and was headed toward a career in music before deciding to pursue golf.

He earned his PGA membership in 1988 and aside from the two years on the Nike Tour, has served as a club pro.

Many club pros find it difficult to keep their golf game sharp with the many demands of running a pro shop.

But Parrah said he tries to play with members on his off day and will often play nine holes at the end of a long day in the shop.

“The hours are long, but if you love golf and helping people, being a club pro is a great life,” said Parrah.

He said some sand traps have been eliminated on the course where the growth of trees no longer made them necessary. There’s also a program to replace the sand on all the existing traps, making play easier for the aver-age golfer.

Average, at best, would describe my game, but I enjoy golf enough to know that I would be willing to play through the pain if this tennis elbow doesn’t clear up soon.

Christopher Turner of Guilford won Don’s Tackle Youth Croaker Tourney, nipping his cousin, Conway Turner, by 1 3/8 inches to earn the first prize of a trip for four to Busch Gardens in Wil-liamsburg. Turner is the 6-year-old son of Shawn and April Turner of Guilford.

Both Christopher and Conway reg-istered fish each of the 15 days of the tournament, with Christopher garner-ing a total of 202 5/16 inches to 200 15/16 inches for Conway.

Christopher was the daily winner five of the seven days to win week two of the tournament after Conway won the opening week.

Conway and Ethan Willet had the largest croaker of the tournament, each catching a 15 7/8 inch fish.

There were daily and weekly win-ners in addition to the overall winner, and 17 rod and reel combos and 15 stocked tackle boxes were presented at an awards ceremony Saturday after-noon at Don’s Tackle Shop on Wacha-preague Road.

In addition, the 57 participants re-ceived a T-shirt and a certificate.

Don Varney gave special thanks to co-sponsors Island House Restau-rant, Little Pungo Ruritan Club and Seaworthy Marine. Prizes also were provided by Eastern Shore Outfitters, Capt. Steve’s Bait and Tackle, Chris’ Bait and Tackle and Sherry Jo’s Baits.

“The best part of the tournament is that I had so many parents tell me how much they enjoyed fishing with their children, and that it brought them closer together,” said Varney.

Proceeds from the tournament in the amount of $350 were donated to the Boys and Girls Club, Eastern Shore.

Fishing OutlookIn other fishing news, flounder fish-

ing remains good at Wachapreague around the inlet, but slowed at Folly Creek. Also available in Quinby and Wachapreague are good numbers of puppy drum. Cast jig heads or buck-tails tipped with 4” Gulp chartreuse swimming mullets. Fish hard bottom

or shell bed areas for the redfish.Tarpon sightings and hook-ups have

increased from Oyster up to Quinby.Offshore, better numbers of mahi

and wahoo are showing, with Wacha-preague weighing in a 107-pound wahoo last weekend. Bigeye tuna re-main in both the Washington and Norfolk canyons (see Allen Barfield’s 224-pound bigeye tuna on this page), with some yellowfins also available.

Farther inshore, the flounder are on the reefs and some keeper sea bass are on the wrecks. Clam is the best sea bass bait.

On the bayside, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and surfside of Fisher-man’s Island have red drum. Black drum are around the third and fourth islands; spadefish and sheepshead are hanging around the pilings.

Speckled trout are in the eelgrass and redfish on the flats and sandbars. Some larger red drum have been taken off Parker’s Island and Nassawadox Creek; use bunker, spot or mullet for bait.

Chris at Chris’ Bait and Tackle says there are good reports of croaker out of Oyster. One group caught 300 ear-lier this week. Flounder bite is on out of Oyster, but most are small; however, there are reports of some limits out at the high rise at the bridge-tunnel.

Donna Roeske at Capt. Bob’s Ma-rina said flounder catches are still being reported in the main Chincote-ague Channel, anywhere from Beebe Road north past the Route 175 bridge. Pink and white bucktails seem to get the fish’s attention more quickly than other colors, especially mylar which offers that extra flash in the water. Still holding strong for baits is the Gulp artificial bait and a live min-now on a tandem rig. Some old tim-ers have been fishing silversides and getting keepers.

Capt. Steve’s Bait and Tackle re-ports the OSV zone on the beach is open down to the Coast Guard Sta-tion. The fishing has been steady with a good spot bite off the surf. There are also the first signs of red drum with a couple puppy drum reported off the beach. In the bay, the flounder bite con-tinues to be consistent in the shallower water. The deeper parts of the chan-

nel continue to hold croaker, with the larger ones just to the south, so they should be there any day.

The offshore bite has been steady with dolphin and the occasional bluefin.

Neuman Northan of Onley is haunt-ed by what might have been as time slips by and he approaches the up-per end of his age group in the Senior Games.

In last year’s Virginia Senior Game held at Christopher Newport Universi-ty, Northan, then 56, won the first ever 50-meter dash in 6.91 seconds to top the 55-59 division.

However, due to a communications lapse, he was late receiving the paper-work to file for the National Senior Games, held last month.

“I was disappointed I didn’t get to compete at the national level,” said Northan. “I felt pretty good about my chances in that event, but I will be 59 when the national games are held again, and it will be tougher to win.”

Northan, who trains regularly and looks years younger than his age, com-petes in a multitude of events and also finished second in the long jump with a leap of 15 feet, 6 inches, second in the discus with a throw of 85.5 feet, fourth in the 200 meters with a time of 29.17 and fifth in the 100 meters with a time of 13.13.

Overall, Northan has won more than 25 medals in the Virginia Senior Games.

Northan said he will continue to train and hopes to inspire other older men and women to train and remain forever young as an athlete.

He gives thanks to YMCA, Willie Wise Boxing and Fitness Center, Wicom-ico Youth Center, UMES and Cooper and Humbles Funeral Home for support.

March 1, 2013 • EastErn shorE Post • 25

By Catherine Campbellof Onancock

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

community. Any congenital heart defect (CHD)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

By Cecilia BakerI spent 10 days in Korea as part of

the Korea Foundation 2013 Summer Fellowship Program sponsored by the Korea Foundation and the Freeman Foundation.

The purpose of the fellowship is to introduce Korean studies to overseas scholars and to assist American edu-cators in designing lessons related to Korea. The Korea Foundation provided me with a once-in-a-lifetime opportu-nity and I encourage other educators from the Eastern Shore to apply for the 2014 Summer Fellowship.

I was one of 39 teachers from across the United States selected for this hon-or. My gifts to my host included Glen Linton’s book, “Buster the Crab,” and Ponytails salt water taffy.

Korea is a beautiful country and its people are welcoming. Korean cities are clean and modern, and include thought-ful design features to encourage people to enjoy nature. They have an impres-sive public transportation network with transit cards that work through-out the country, and high-speed Inter-net is available throughout the country with free WiFi even in rural locations.

South Korea, which was one of the poorest countries in the world, has

emerged as one of the wealthiest nations, with its citizens sharing in its wealth and enjoying a healthy democracy.

The study tour included a series of nine lectures from Korea University professors on topics that included the Korean language, economy, education, society, traditional arts, cinema, mi-gration, and relationship with North Korea. Professor Mark Peterson of Brigham Young University gave a lecture on Korean modern history and provided background lectures on the historic sites as we traveled from Seoul to the cities of Yeoju, Cheonju, Kyungju, Pohang, and Daegu.

We visited the Unesco Heritage sites of Haeinsa Temple and the De-positories for the Tripitaka Kore-ana Woodblocks located in the Gaya San National Park, the Seokguram Grotto and Bulguksa Temple, the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty in Yeongneung where King Sejong, the inventor of the han’gul alphabet, is buried, and the Historic Village of Yangdong.

Other sites visited were O Reung, where five kings from the Silla Dynas-ty are buried; the Jikji Early Print Mu-seum in Cheongju, where the teachers participated in a workshop and learned

to make paper and do traditional book binding; and POSCO, one of the world’s largest steel manufacturers, and the major engine in South Korea’s economic development. In addition, we toured the national museums in Seoul and Gyeongju.

The last day of the trip was a tour to the DMZ (demilitarized zone) where we stopped briefly at Imjinjak (Free-dom) Park before proceeding to Camp Bonifas in the DMZ. (The camp is named after the American major who was beaten to death by the North Kore-ans over a tree trimming that brought us to the brink of war.) We were given a briefing about the area, visited T2, where talks have been held between the North Koreans and South Kore-ans, and then toured the DMZ with our military guide pointing out the two vil-lages that are part of the DMZ.

One of the most memorable parts of the trip was the visit to the Koyang Foreign Language High School, where each teacher presented a short les-son, and had the opportunity to tour the campus and speak to the students. The students I met were bright, funny, and really aware of issues facing their nation and the world, but like typi-cal teenagers they were interested in

snacks, music, fashion and “the prom.” My lesson was on the geography of the Delmarva Peninsula as compared to the geography of Korea and it was well received by the students.

Small gifts were provided to the students, courtesy of NASA Wallops Flight Facility.

Korean high-school students have a much longer school day than do most American students, with classes from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and mandatory study from 7 to 10 p.m. Students also attend school one Saturday each month. This additional time in school is probably why Korea ranks among the top two countries in the world for education, while the USA ranks 17th.

We were given a gastronomic tour of Korea, experiencing the wide variety of Korean cuisine, from temple food to street food, with kimchi served at ev-ery meal. We ate Korean style on the floor, as well as Western style and had many memorable dishes.

My fondest memory was in Yangdon village, where we went to a private home and the owner provided a deli-cious lunch for us. The village remind-ed me of visits to my grandmother when I was young and the country air made everything taste delicious.

We Need New LibraryDear Editor:

First, let me say I am a library supporter and be-lieve a new main library is required if this commu-nity is going to support its citizens and the quality of life expected in a vibrant and growing region.

Compared to other counties and cities in Virginia, Accomack and Northampton counties have histori-cally underfunded library services by virtually any measure one can make, such as funding per capita, family income, poverty level etc.

How can we continue to underfund one of the greatest assets a community can have and expect the region to be desirable to the potential businesses and individuals who will support the surging space pro-grams at Wallops Island or the growing second-home and retirement investments we expect?

When you decide on where to locate a business or

a family home, you assess a community’s desirabil-ity by looking at a variety of areas, including a good workforce, good schools, attractive neighborhoods and quality services, not the least of which is an ad-equate library. If businesses and individuals feel our services are inadequate they will simply locate in southern Maryland and make their economic contri-butions there.

I have heard that some people do not support a new library. They apparently do not understand the services the present one provides and the inadequacy of the current space to support those services. A vote not to support the new library is like a vote against Head Start programs, adequate schools, adult litera-cy programs, cultural improvements and community development.

A vote against funding a new library is “penny wise and pound foolish.” The need is now, the loca-tion offered is the best, and residents deserve a li-brary system that can serve them properly.

I call on supervisors in both counties to show for-ward thinking and stand together to fully fund a

new central library. And I call on Shore citizens to let their supervisors know they support a new library.
