By Stefanie Jackson Five candidates for the Cape Charles town council participated in an online forum May 9 and explained their posi- tions on numerous issues including the struggling town harbor, tourism, jobs, and affordable housing. The participating candidates were Steve Bennett, a current town coun- cilman who holds degrees in structur- al engineering and business; Charles “Sambo” Brown, a former town coun- cilman and retired police chief; Andy Buchholz, a current town councilman and local business owner; Andrew Foll- mer, who owns two businesses on Ma- son Avenue; and Herb Thom, a former employee of Bayshore Concrete. The event was organized by Kar- en Zamorski, director of Cape Charles Main Street, and moderated by Wayne Bell Jr. The Cape Charles harbor bustles last July.

On May 8, countries around the world celebrated the 75th anniver- sary of V-E (Victory in Europe) Day, marking the day the German army surrendered to Allied forces, ending World War II in Europe. By William Stilwagen Special to the Eastern Shore Post Upon returning from the Vietnam War in 1970, I had heard of an opening at Roosevelt Raceway in Westbury, N.Y. The raceway was for harness horses and I accepted a job as a groom for Sa- cher Werner. Sacher was a 71-year-old trainer with a colorful reputation as a great driver of harness horses back in the 1950s. He never used a whip on his horses during the races. Sacher was born Dec. 29, 1898, in Poland. At age 53, he had immigrat- ed to the U.S., landing at Ellis Island in New York aboard the Queen Mary on Jan. 1, 1952. In 1970, he still drove in races every once in a while, but his days of glory were past. He had been a very successful harness racer in Eu- rope before WWII, as well as in the U.S. after that war. Sacher had rules: Be on time. Never mistreat his horses, or each other. And never curse. “Around here we don’t even say son-of-a-beach.” Because of their breeding, racehors- This San Francisco memorial depicts a lone Holocaust survivor standing by a barbed wire fence.

Eastern Shore Rail to Trail Study

Accomack and Northampton Counties

Public Notice of Community Interest and Feedback Survey

Background: The former Bay Coast Railroad offers 49.1 miles of primarily flat straight terrain that presents an opportunity for a shared use path connecting communities, businesses, and State/Federal parks throughout Northampton and Accomack Counties. The Eastern Shore Rail to Trail Study seeks to assess the feasibility of converting the abandoned railroad into a shared use path. The railroad corridor runs mostly parallel to US Route 13 on the Eastern Shore and travels through the Towns of Hallwood, Bloxom, Parksley, Onley, Melfa, Keller, and Painter in Accomack County and the Towns of Exmore, Nassawadox, Eastville, Cheriton, and Cape Charles in Northampton County.

About the Study: The study explores the opportunity to reduce interaction between vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists on US Route 13 with the development and construction of a shared use path, to improve pedestrian and cyclist mobility, accessibility, and safety. Shared use paths are separate and dedicated areas removed from motorist traffic, supporting multiple recreation and transportation modes including walking, bicycling and others. The study area extends approximately 50 miles between the Town of Cape Charles and the Town of Hallwood. While the shared use path alignment will largely follow the abandoned railroad track alignment, the study will also identify potential connections into Town and County destinations in the vicinity of the railroad alignment.

VDOT is inviting public feedback and comments on the value of a shared use path through an online survey at bit.ly/EasternShoreTrail until May 31, 2020. Additionally, written comments can be sent to Mr. John Bolecek, Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Planner, Virginia Department of Transportation, 1401 E. Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23220 or through e-mail to [email protected] with reference to “Eastern Shore Rail to Trail Study” in the subject line.

Members of the public may also share input by mailing this shortened version of the survey to the address above, prior to May 31, 2020.

A caravan of personal vehicles, police cars, EMS vehicles, and a firetruck made several trips around the parade route, driving along Courthouse Road in front of the school, turning into the school parking lot, and looping back around to the main road, with horns honking and sirens blaring.
