Hargis of Greenbush was shot inthe head with his own .357 cal-iber pistol last August before hispockets were emptied of $3,800,according to testimony offeredFriday in Accomack General Dis-trict Court.

Police found the decomposedremains of the 53-year-old in Au-gust, a day after he was reportedmissing. The body was found un-der brush and limbs just yardsfrom where Hargis was buildinga house. According to testimony,one of his shoes was found hang-ing on a rotted tree branch stuckin the bucket of his backhoe. Theother was still on his foot.

Hargis was identified by fin-gerprint comparisons. His wereon file in Richmond because acharge was filed several yearsago against him regarding an al-leged threatening phone call, ac-cording to police.

As a result of Friday’s prelimi-nary hearing, Judge Gordon Vin-cent found probable cause in theHargis murder case to certify twocharges made against a Louis-iana native to an Accomack Cir-cuit Court Grand Jury.

Charges of first-degree mur-der and use of a firearm in afelony against Jowarski RussellNedd, 28, could be reviewed bythe Grand Jury when it convenesin April.

Defense lawyer Patrick Rob-bins argued that there was insuf-ficient evidence for a charge thatNedd illegally possessed afirearm after being convicted of afelony. Vincent agreed and dis-missed the charge.

Commonwealth’s Attorney GaryR. Agar said he would eventuallyget the necessary informationfrom Louisiana to prove Nedd isa convicted felon. Agar said hewould then take the particularsstraight to the Grand Jury.

Sheriff Larry Giddens describedNedd just after his arrest in Sep-tember as a “career criminal.”

The Eastern Shore Post gotcopies of documents from the St.Charles Judicial Court in early De-cember that show Nedd was con-victed of simple burglary in 2000and of possessing more than $500worth of stolen goods in 1998. Bothof those counts are felonies.

Details of HargisKilling Disclosed

By Linda CicoiraSupervisor Donald Hart is willing to make

the supreme sacrifice to help solve the county’sfinancial woes.

Hart suggested Wednesday that he and theother supervisors abolish their costly health in-surance benefits or at least trim the expense tosingle subscriber status which is what mostother county workers are offered.

He wants the subject to be put on the agendafor the board’s next regular meeting March 18.

“There’s no choice,” said Hart. “We’re going tohave to bite the bullet.”

The late Supervisor James Payne first initi-ated the practice of allowing the supervisors toreceive paid coverage for their families, Hart ex-plained. He said it was done 20 years ago in lieuof the members getting salary increases.

Hart said cutting back to the single sub-scriber would be acceptable to him if the super-visors get percentage salary hikes when othercounty employees receive raises.

Finance Director Mike Mason said Thursdaythat the board chairman is paid $8,800 a year,the vice chairman $8,200 and the remaining su-pervisors are paid $7,000.

That compensation is the maximum amountallowed under Virginia law for Accomack’s pop-ulation, although that point was not mentionedat Wednesday’s session.

Hart indicated that the board should alsoconsider cutting the extended benefit for thecounty administrator and county attorney.However, those officials are contracted and maynot be willing to give up the perk.

Mason said the total annual cost of providinghealth and dental insurance to the supervisors

works at Onancock Building Supply,testified that at around 4 p.m. Aug.14, Hargis came into the store to buyplumbing and building supplies.

“I believe he was building ahouse,” said Bagwell. “He usuallypaid with cash. He usually has abig wad of money” wrapped in arubber band with a $20 bill show-ing on the outside.

Leona Wooster said she helpedHargis move from the Whitesvillearea of Parksley to Greenbush onAug. 14. She last saw Hargis ataround noon that day. Twice, laterin the evening, she returned to theGreenbush trailer where Hargiswas living while building the adja-cent house.

“When I got there, the dog wasoutside … I thought Dan was there… I called his name. The door wascracked. I walked through,” she said,adding that she did not find him.

Wooster said Nedd also helped

Hargis move and was still therewhen she last saw Hargis.

Lateria Savage of Parksley saidNedd was her former boyfriendand that they had been togetherfor about a year. Nedd called herthat day to pick him up at Hargis’Whitesville home, she added.

When she and her brother, Ed-die Savage Jr., arrived at about 5p.m., Nedd “had a box and a trashbag with things in it.”

He told them that Hargis hadgiven him clothes, laundry deter-gent, paper towels, belts and shoes,Lateria Savage said. Nedd “hadmoney — $3,800 folded up in hispocket.”

“We both counted it,” she said.Nedd told her that on the previousday, Hargis had an accident on atractor and fell in a hole and wastaken to the hospital. Nedd toldher he went back to the site and“picked up” the money.

That night, the Savages andNedd went to Walmart in Poco-moke where she works and spentmore than $1,000 for cell phonecontracts. On Aug. 18, they went to

Salisbury to shop.She said that Nedd worked for

Hargis for about “two weeks, help-ing him build his new house.”

Eddie Savage Jr. said Nedd of-fered to sell him a .22 caliber re-volver on Aug. 11 that he got fromthe Greenbush work site. On Aug.14, he talked to Nedd by phone andNedd said “he found another gunthat he wanted to sell. It was a.357” handgun.

Eddie Savage said Nedd gavehim the gun after he and his sisterpicked him up. “He wanted $50 forit.” Savage said he also gave himbullets for the pistol.

Savage said that on Aug. 20 helearned that Hargis had beenkilled. “Rumors say he’d been shot.”He got a call from Nedd who toldhim “you need to get them (theguns) out of the house.” Savage saidNedd moved back to Louisiana onthe day their house was searched.

Savage, who admitted he wasconvicted of shoplifting a fewmonths ago, turned the guns in tothe Sheriff ’s Department on Aug.25 after his sister called the officefor him. “I knew the guns had myprints on them. I didn’t know whatto do,” Savage said.

Testimony also disclosed thatNedd left at least one message forHargis asking him when he want-ed him to return to work after Aug.14. Accomack County InvestigatorAnthony Bright said Nedd toldhim that he was only paid $40 onhis last day of work and that hewas expecting to get the rest of themoney later. “That was all themoney Jim had on him,” Brightsaid he was told.

Bright also said there were nowitnesses to the murder nor re-ports of shots being fired, Nedd’s

fingerprints were not found on theweapon and there was no DNA ev-idence to connect Nedd to thecrime.

With respect to Nedd’s criminalhistory, documents from Louisianaindicate that he pleaded guilty in2000 to the felony of simple bur-glary of an inhabited dwelling inLouisiana. He was sentenced totwo years in prison, with all but 60days suspended. He served thattime while awaiting trial.

The records also show Nedd wasplaced on active probation for twoyears and ordered to attend sub-stance abuse treatment and pay$329.50 restitution. That latterwas satisfactorily paid a fewmonths later, the records show.

Court documents show that be-fore the probation time expired, forunspecified reasons, probation wasrevoked and Nedd was ordered tofulfill the unserved time.

The records show that in 1998,a felony charge of possessing morethan $500 worth of stolen proper-ty was brought against Nedd. Hepleaded guilty to that charge andwas sentenced to five years inprison, with all but time servedsuspended. Nedd was placed ontwo years of inactive probation forthe property charge in October of1998, on the condition that heearn a high-school degree orequivalent.

In April of 1998, Nedd pleadedguilty to two misdemeanor countsof battery. He was sentenced to 14days in jail for those offenses.

A charge of loud music amplifi-cation was not prosecuted inMarch of 2007 after being broughtagainst Nedd the previous month.

Nedd remains in AccomackCounty Jail with bond denied.

By Linda CicoiraChesapeake Bay Act regulations

were extended Wednesday acrossAccomack County.

The move came after months ofdebate over the proposal, severalchanges to the draft and accusa-tions that Supervisor Steve Mal-lette’s business dealings should pro-hibit him from voting on the issue.

The latter did not sway Mal-lette, despite a last minute threatby Parksley resident Billy Grahamthat he would legally challenge thevote if Mallette participated.

“I am trying to save the countymoney,” Graham warned. He sug-gested that the poll be put off until“all resemblance of conflict of in-terest can be removed.”

Mallette contended that severalmonths ago he had filed the neces-sary oral and written declarationsof his intent. In November, he ex-plained that his business deals areexpansive and he is capable of par-ticipating “fairly, objectively and inthe public’s interest.”

The board favored the ordinancewhich affects oceanside properties,

in a 6-3 ballot. Mallette, Vice Chair-woman Laura Belle Gordy and Su-pervisors Phil McCaleb, GraysonChesser, Sandy Hart Mears andRon Wolff approved the ordinance.Supervisors Wanda Thornton, Don-ald Hart and Jack Gray opposed itand complained about unknowncosts for enforcement.

Hart said that he long ago askedfor a financial impact report andhad not yet to see one.

Planning Director Jim McGowansaid he has previously told the offi-cials that the ordinance changeswould not adversely affect his de-partment. He said the Soil and WaterDistrict handles some of the issues.

“Accomack County staff has re-peatedly indicated that enforce-ment of the ordinance on the sea-side is expected to be just like en-forcement of the Chesapeake BayPreservation Ordinance has beenon the bayside for the past 17years,” said County Attorney MarkTaylor. “Our local experience withthe ordinance on the bayside is im-mediately and directly applicableto the seaside … it takes on, over

time, a local character … enforce-ment is taken on in different waysin different areas.”

Activist Toni Trepanier, a localRealtor, again voiced her opposi-tion to the ordinance. “A lot of re-sponsibility comes down on thelandowners that I don’t think theyare aware of,” she said

The best-known provision of theact requires all onsite sewage dis-posal systems (not requiring a dis-charge permit) to be pumped outat least once every five years. Thatrequirement can be avoided if aplastic filter is installed and main-tained in the tank’s outflow pipe.

The supervisors delayed setting apublic hearing for the proposed pub-lic service authority to give moretime for interested residents to ap-ply to serve on the water and sewerpanel’s board of directors. The su-pervisors anticipate acting on thatissue at their March 4 work session.

The delay upset Hart. He saidhe is not always able to attend thework session because of his job andbecause of his work with the Vir-ginia Association of Counties.

“I don’t want to be listed over andover again as being absent,” saidHart. “You pushed me forward, yousaid go, then I’m getting punishedat home … I just have a concern.”

“If the PSA is that importantlet’s call a special meeting just forthat,” said Thornton.

In the end, the panel agreed in-formally to schedule the topic after5 p.m. so that Hart could attend. Hesaid if he couldn’t make it then, hewould alert staff before the session.

In an 8-1 vote, the supervisorsdecreased from 400 pounds to 200pounds the amount of trash a resi-dent can take to the landfill perday without paying a tipping fee.There is no charge to take the de-bris to a convenience center.

Only Hart opposed the change.“It’s a matter of discrimination,”

he said following the meeting. Heexplained that since the southernend of the county doesn’t yet havea convenience center, the fee is un-fair. “Two hundred pounds would-n’t even be an appliance,” he said.“I’ve always had a problem withthe tipping fee.”

Your Customer Bill of Rights

By Ron WestThe Northampton County

Board of Supervisors held a spe-cial meeting Feb. 17 to considerpossible projects to submit for therecently approved Federal Stimu-lus Program that has been signedinto law by President Obama.

Supervisor Richard Tankardread a statement expressing con-cerns over the stimulus programbut noted that the county neededto make every effort to receive itsshare of the package. Tankard not-ed that the taxpayers who wouldbe paying for it deserve to share inits benefits.

Schools Superintendent Dr.Richard Bowmaster provided theboard with a list of 16 shovel-readyschool projects totaling $6.6 million.

Board Chairman Jeff Walkersuggested that the school systemprioritize the list and group simi-lar projects if possible. Bowmastersuggested that high on the listwould be additional remodeling ofthe high school and roof repairs

for the elementary schools. Theother suggestions included heat-ing and air conditioning repairs,renovation of several items at thehigh-school complex, and replac-ing the bus maintenance facility.

Tankard suggested that replac-ing the roof of the old high schoollocated at the bus garage siteshould be included to prevent fur-ther deterioration of the structurein the event it might some day bereused as a commercial site.

The supervisors discussed thepossibility of using some of thefunds for renovations to existingcounty administrative offices, in-cluding the old jail structures.Other possible projects might besuitable for towns to request, suchas water and wastewater systems.

It was pointed out that the rec-ommendations need to be pressedforward immediately in that thepurpose of the stimulus plan is toplace money back in the hands ofworkers and businesses as soon aspossible.

By mid-night Feb.10, the House hadsent 895 bills over

to the Senate for its con-sideration and the Sen-ate had sent 851 billsover to the House for ourconsideration.

On Thursday, Feb. 12,we considered the House Appropriations Com-mittee’s proposed amendments to the gover-nor’s submitted budget. As is usually the case,the House Budget Committee significantlyamended the governor’s proposal. Gone fromthe House version was the proposed 30-cent in-crease in the excise tax on cigarettes and thegovernor’s proposal regarding the eliminationof the dealer discount for retailers, among otherchanges. The House did reverse the governor’sproposal regarding the conservation tax creditprogram. The governor had proposed reducingthe amount that could be taken in any one year

to $50,000, but expanded the number of yearsduring which the credit could be taken. TheHouse restored the program to its original form.The Senate postponed activity on its version ofthe budget, and I believe rightfully so, becauseof the impending federal stimulus package. Vir-ginia appears to be slated to receive $3.2 billionin stimulus package funds, with restrictions onhow different segments of that funding can beused. Approximately $700 million will be capa-ble of being used only for transportation proj-ects. Fortunately, there will be significant infu-sions of cash to help with our Medicaid deficit.The House will have to re-evaluate its budgetoption from last week in the light of these newfigures. In addition, the governor released thismorning a revised revenue forecast which, byall reports, will place our budget shortfall ataround $3.5 billion. Even with this new infusionof federal funds, we will have some significantbudget issues going forward.

The House also significantly amended Gov.

Kaine’s smoking ban proposal before passingthe measure. The difference between this andother bills will be worked out in committees ofconference. They are committees appointed byleadership from the House and Senate to at-tempt to work out a compromise in the differ-ence between various pieces of legislationwhich were amended differently in eitherhouse. Obviously, the largest and most impor-tant and most complex committee of conferenceis the Budget Conference. Those confereesmust work long and hard hours in order toreach a consensus as to what form Virginia’sbudget should take.

Thus far, 10 of my bills are working theirway through in the Senate.

We will be in Richmond until Feb. 28. As al-ways, I can be reached here in Richmond untilthe session adjourns. You can call the con-stituent “hot line” toll free at 1-800-889-0229 ormy office phone, 804-698-1000. My e-mail ad-dress is Delllewis@house.Virginia.gov

I would be happy to help with arrangementsfor any groups that plan to visit during theGeneral Assembly. Please contact my office forassistance.

Wi t honlytwo

weeks to goin this year’sGeneral As-sembly ses-sion, we stillhave a lot ofwork to do in

Richmond. Some of the cuts pro-posed to the budget are severe, andthe Senate has decided to wait andsee how funds from the federalstimulus package can help beforeproceeding. We should have a goodidea of how we can use that moneynext week, and will be able tomove along after that.

Last week, bills crossed over

from one chamber to the other, andsome of my legislation is movingalong. The Senate has passed mybill that would ban smoking incars with a minor present, as wellas a bill I have been working onwith Gov. Kaine’s office to increasethe energy efficiency of electricutility companies. The restaurantsmoking ban legislation I am spon-soring has run into some opposi-tion on the House side, but I amhopeful we can continue workingtogether to get this important lawpassed.

In other news, the Senate de-feated a proposal that would haveencouraged introduction of thenon-native oyster, Crassostrea ari-akensis, into the Chesapeake Bay.

I opposed this measure, because Ihave seen some of the progressthat the Virginia Institute of Ma-rine Science (VIMS), the NatureConservancy, the Chesapeake BayFoundation, and others have madewith restoring the native oyster. Ibelieve that with new disease-tol-erant strains and a sound ap-proach to management of sanctu-ary reefs and public and privategrounds, we will start to see no-table increases in our oyster popu-lation in the near future.

Thanks again to all who havecalled and e-mailed with thoughts,questions, and signs of support. Asalways, please feel free to call or e-mail me at any time, or to drop bythe office in Richmond.

Town Meetings

CapeCharles

Onancock

By Ron WestTension was high as Cape Charles

Town Council met last Thursday.In recent weeks, news had

swirled over the possible resignationof three town leaders. Disagree-ments among three Town Councilmembers, the town manager and themayor had reached a point wherethe town manager, mayor and onecouncilman were expected to stepdown, opening the way for TownCouncil to select their replacements.

As the meeting opened, MayorDora Sullivan announced her planto resign as part of a three-way dealwith Town Manager Joe Vaccaroand Councilman John Burdiss.When challenged by the mayor,Burdiss announced that he wouldnot resign; thus, Sullivan will re-main in her position as well. Vac-caro’s resignation remains in effect.

What followed was a plea by sev-eral citizens of the town for townleaders to pull together and workfor the betterment of the town.

Others were more direct in theircomments, such as Scott Walker,who said he had a petition signedby 100 citizens calling for Burdissto resign.

Steve Mitchell went a step farther,suggesting the slate be wiped cleanand new town leaders be elected.

As the dust settled, all six of thecurrent councilmen and the mayorremained seated at the table.

Town Council also discused theconditional-use permit for con-

struction of the Cape Harbor Pro-ject. Aaron Hargis urged the coun-cil to spend more time reviewingthe project, suggesting that itwould be too large and that it didnot fit in with the rest of the down-town area.

Judy Morgan, representingLandmark Group, which requestedthe permit, indicated that the manyamendments proposed by the townleaders over the past severalmonths have been agreed to. Sheurged council to complete discus-sions so Landmark can move ahead.

Town Council voted 5-1 (Burdissagainst) to 11 of the 12 general con-ditions to be met with regards to theproject, and voted 6-0 to specific con-ditions regarding the 120-unit hotel.

The sticking point for the projectcenters on the size and density forthe condominiums and commercialunits. While council had previouslyagreed to a staggered maximumheight of 25-45 feet, there weremixed feelings among the councilregarding the number of units thatwould be allowed. Landmark hadoriginally requested a permit to al-low up to 425 units. The councileventually agreed to limit the de-velopment to 300 units, with a min-imum of 960 square feet per unit.

In other action, council voted 6-0to appoint Assistant Town MangerHeather Arcos to serve as actingtown manager until council namesa premanent replacement for de-parting Town Manager Joe Vaccaro.

Professionally, Diane held posi-tions in the finance and account-ing departments within theNorthampton and Fairfax Countygovernments in Virginia, as wellas working for the Office of theCounty Executive for FairfaxCounty. Most compelling, was Di-ane’s desire to put her childrenand her family first, and workaround her family’s schedule andneeds. She was able to “do it all”and remain a dependable, reliableprofessional, and a humble andnurturing mother, while raisingtwo very active children.

Diane deeply loved the Lord Je-sus Christ and reflected His glorythroughout her daily life. This wasmost evident as she trusted Himduring the difficult trial of her bat-tle with cancer. The joy and delightof Diane’s life were her childrenand grandchildren. She made ither life’s priority to love and nur-ture her family, and in this shesucceeded abundantly.

~Obituaries~(Cont’d. From Previous Page)

(Obituaries Cont’d on Next Pg.)

By Joseph Anthony The U.S. tax code is so com-

plicated that it’s no surprisemany small businesses and in-dividuals make mistakes intheir bookkeeping and filing.

But don’t count on any mercyfrom the IRS.

Take it from a tax profession-al. Here are five of the morecommon mistakes, and whatyou need to do to avoid them.

1. Not saving receipts ofless than $75.

People sometimes get excitedwhen they hear that the IRSdoesn’t require receipts formeal and entertainment ex-penses of less than $75. Don’tfall into this trap. You may notneed the receipt, but you stillneed to have some sort of recorddocumenting where you went,when you went there, who youwere with, the business purposeof the meal or entertainmentand the business relationshipbetween you and the people youwere with. When you look at thelist of requirements, what couldbe better for documentation

than a credit-card charge re-ceipt? In most cases, the chargeslip will already have printedon it the name and address ofthe restaurant and the date andtime you were there. All youhave to do is write on the slipwho you were with and whatthe business relationship andpurpose was of the event. Whilea receipt may not be required,for many people hanging ontothe receipt is going to be easierthan keeping an entirely sepa-rate log of the expense informa-tion.

2. Lumping equipmentwith supplies.

Equipment is a capital ex-penditure, and capital expendi-tures have to be depreciated.Special rules do allow mostsmall businesses to write off upto $24,000 in capital expendi-tures for tangible personalproperty (such as computersand office furnishings) in theyear it is purchased. However,you still have to report thesepurchases as capital expendi-

tures and elect to use this spe-cial method of expensing thecosts.What if you don’t reportthe purchases properly and in-stead just deduct your comput-ers and other capital items assupplies? The IRS could rulethat you improperly character-ized the expense and are notentitled to the deduction youclaimed. Not only that, butsince you failed to properly cat-egorize the property or make anelection, you could also findthat you’re required to add thecost of the property to youroverall investment in yourbusiness. Result: no current de-duction at all.

3. Forgetting to track re-imbursable expenses.

Many small-business ownerspay for some business expenseswith cash out of their own pock-et or through a personal creditcard.That’s fine. The mistake isif they don’t track those costs

and submit the expenses to theircompany for reimbursement.Also, the company must have anestablished plan that doesdeduct the expenses and enablesreimbursements to be nontax-able to employees. But if youdon’t keep track of and substan-tiate the expenses, you will atbest have a non-reimbursedbusiness expense. These can bededucted on your personal taxreturn only to the extent that allof your miscellaneous ScheduleA expenses exceed 2 percent ofyour adjusted gross income.

4. Miscalculating automo-bile deductions.

Part of the problem here isthat there are many ways tocalculate deductions for busi-ness use of a car. Guidelines areavailable to help you.

5. Giving more than youcan receive, tax-wise.

It seems like every year I see

at least one small business say-ing that it had a couple thou-sand dollars in deductible busi-ness gifts in the previous year.Now, I have no problem withgifts to clients and business as-sociates. But a four-figure de-duction for gifts gets my atten-tion, because the IRS allows usto deduct only up to $25 worthof gifts to any individual peryear. So $2,000 in deductions

would mean that gifts were giv-en to at least 80 different peo-ple. That’s a lot of gifts. Usuallyit turns out that while the mon-ey was indeed spent, it was di-vided into several gifts thatwere more than $25 apiece.There’s nothing wrong with be-ing generous. But only that first$25 per recipient is a deductiblebusiness expense. The rest is anondeductible expense. Some-

We l l ,I ’ v ec o m e

full-circle now.As a young girl, my

first “job,” once I hadproven myself capable,

was babysitting my sister, who is10 years younger than I. And now,I can quite proudly proclaim, Ionce again have proven myself ca-pable and was privileged tobabysit my new granddaughter fora day recently.

And what I discovered is thatdespite all the new technologicalfrontiers we have conquered andthe electronic gadgets that seem to

dictate our every communication,the life of a 2-month-old remainspretty much unchanged. It is aworld of smiles, coos, and occasion-al screams, a bright toy here and adrool there. It is at the same timethe simplest language imaginableand the most difficult to decipher.

Needless to say, Nicole and Ihad a fine time.

I have been told since long be-fore my sons were even of fatheringage that I would find being agrandparent something beyond myimaginings, that I would discover alove deeper than any I had ever ex-perienced. The wisdom was alwaystouched with humor, to the effectthat part of the reason for such a

depth of emotion would bethe fact that I could “re-turn” my grandchild to hisor her parents and not haveto endure the more trouble-

some aspects of parenthood.Well, I’m afraid that so far I

have found the oft-repeated advicesomewhat off the mark.

As for the unique level of love, Ifind myself often transported to asplit second more than 20 yearsago when my sons were probablyabout 4 and 6 years old. Each sum-mer they would visit their grand-parents for a couple of weeks inNew York. In this split second ofmy recollection, my husband and Iare pulling up in front of my par-ents’ home and all I can think is,“My sons are right there, insidethat home, cute and loving as ever— ready to be enjoyed by me.” Andknowing I would see them in just a

few moments filled me with suchjoy. I had missed them so much.

So, no, I dare say my offspringalready had prepared my heartfully for this new little one.

And as for being happy to sur-render a grandchild to her parentsat the end of the day, no, that hasnot been the case with Nicole, ei-ther, though I realize our time to-gether is still a novelty, given herdistance from me (near Richmond)and her newness in our lives.

More than anything, what Ihave discovered in my short timeas a grandmother is that the mostimportant thing I bring to it byway of experience, by way of al-ready having raised a couple ofchildren, is that babyhood is soprecious. It flutters by in a blink —and is gone.

And that knowledge colors thisgrandmother’s every thought.

Obama Credibility SuffersDear Editor:

President Obama’s reversal of the so-calledMexico City policy was not unanticipated. Atleast he waited for the recent 36th Right to LifeMarch to take place with its several thousandpro-life participants peacefully exercising theircivic responsibilities.

The policy required any non-governmentalorganization to agree, before receiving U.S.funds that it will “neither perform noractively promote abortion as a methodof family planning in other nations.” So,what message is our new presidentsending? Is it that America is a nation thatdoes not value life in general and life in othernations in particular? Is it that the U.S.A.wants to be seen as an impotent superpowerthat hides behind non-governmental organiza-tions to promote abortion as part of a popula-tion control program in third-world countries?

At the March for Life, Pastor Luke Robinson,an African-American pastor from Frederick,Md., gave an impassioned speech in which hebegged President Obama not to preside overthe genocide of African-Americans “We needchange, Mr. President, because every day about4,000 babies die by abortion,” he said. “Everyday, Mr. President, people with your ethnicbackground and my ethnic background die inastounding numbers. … We make up about 12percent of the population and about 34 percentof all abortions are black babies. … We need tostop this slaughter of the innocent preborn.”

The following day, President Obama re-versed the Mexico City policy and allowed abor-tion to become one of America’s new exports. If

this was an urgent presidential issue to putAmerica back on the right track, I can only saythat his credibility has declined by the same 50percent that his inauguration merchandise didin the two days following his inauguration.

Tired of Dog & Pony ShowDear Editor:

The traveling “overlay road show”has beenon the trail, most recently at Arcadia MiddleSchool. I fear that if I am requested by Plan-ning Director Jim McGowan to refer to county

CAPA (Chesapeake-Atlantic Preserva-tion Act) overlays, such behavior on mypart may place my eyesight in jeopardy.

The chairman of the county Board ofSupervisors was once again conspicuous by hisabsence. Perhaps pharaoh was too busy enjoy-ing his new home recently built within a pro-posed resource protection area or perhaps the

kitchen is too hot for his taste.Once again, the audience participants pro-

vided all the documented facts and AccomackCounty provided unsubstantiated beliefs, withthe exception of Supervisor Wanda Thornton.

When government officials answer pertinentquestions from county residents with vague-ness, false assurances or just “I don’t know,” itdoes little to instill trust.

This whole information meeting processbrings to mind an old fast food hamburger com-mercial: “Where’s the beef?”

Tony Castellano, Parksley

Thank Goodness for TroopersDear Editor:

Thank goodness, Trooper K.J. Johnson wasin the area to inject himself into such a danger-ous situation, recently saving the life of a tod-dler trapped in a burning car.

We often don’t notice the troopers patrollingour area until some type of serious problemtakes place and a police officer intervenes. Weneed to begin to appreciate what a resource wehave out on our highways.

And as usual, the officer states, “It’s all justpart of the job.”

Thanks to all all of you out there on dutykeeping an eye on us.

Kenneth A. Webb, Downingtown, Pa.
