Double Whammy: Florence and Michael<br />
By Duncan Harling<br />
I live in Fayetteville, NC. We got<br />
visited by two of the named Hurricanes<br />
this fall: Florence and Michael. At first,<br />
it was great to get out of school. It was<br />
hard work, moving every little thing out<br />
of our yard into the house and garage.<br />
Then we helped the neighbors because<br />
anything can be flying debris. We<br />
actually looked out front when the wind<br />
really started blowing. Rain blew<br />
sideways and branches literally flew off<br />
trees, banging cars and houses. When<br />
the screen porch blew apart we were<br />
glad to be inside.<br />
At one point, there was a loud crash<br />
and the power went out. Soon we heard<br />
a loud squeal. My brother and I saw a<br />
tree down across the road right on the<br />
curve. We called 911 and went back for<br />
the safety vests we used in our Crew. I<br />
took one part and my brother the other,<br />
waving cars down before they sped into<br />
the tree. When the emergency folks<br />
arrived, the power company clipped the<br />
wires. Then they sliced the tree at both<br />
ends and we rolled the middle off the<br />
road.<br />
It rained for two and a half days, with<br />
gusts coming through occasionally. The<br />
linemen couldn’t work on the powerlines<br />
until the wind stopped. Given the height<br />
of the lines, it looked dangerous enough<br />
without the wind. We were cooking<br />
everything we could from the freezer<br />
and checked in with friends. Some lost<br />
parts of their roof, some had trees down,<br />
and some had barely anything.<br />
Then the waiting set in. Hurricane<br />
Florence had moved around, but not<br />

Double Whammy continued…<br />
away, so rain was washing into the<br />
local rivers. In my area, both the Cape<br />
Fear and Little Rivers crested, or rose,<br />
several feet above their banks. People<br />
who had survived the wind and rain<br />
were flooded out.<br />
Wilmington and Lumberton were<br />
two of the hardest hit cities. Schools<br />
were flooded or flattened. We had all<br />
pretty much recovered from Hurricane<br />
Matthew a couple of years ago, but this<br />
flooding was worse. Matthew flooded<br />
things more with the rain, the flooding<br />
sucked but this was much higher.<br />
Just as the waters started to recede,<br />
what was left of Hurricane Michael<br />
came through with more rain, filling<br />
the rivers again. Michael was<br />
catastrophic for Florida, from what we<br />
saw on TV. The city of New Mexico<br />
Beach was flattened. We only dealt<br />
with the leftovers but that was bad<br />
enough After checking the damage at<br />
home, my Crew went to our chartered<br />
Organization Hair and Matthews<br />
American Legion Post 32, My Eagle<br />
Project, a brand new sign for the Post,<br />
withstood the wind, but lost a light and<br />
small sign. My brother’s Eagle project,<br />
benches and planters around a flagpole<br />
memorial, lost a bench. The roof of the<br />
Post patios were peeling off and<br />
dangling. Tree limbs and small trees<br />
were bent and broken. We fixed that<br />
and the calls for help started coming.<br />
My Crew cleaned up disabled<br />
veterans yards, then we helped clean<br />
up and reroofed our shooting sport<br />
partner, Crosse Creek Pistol and Rifle<br />
Club.<br />
By this time, the Red Cross was<br />
helping serve people hot meals. We<br />
held a relief drive at our Post.<br />
American Legions in other states sent<br />
truckloads of supplies to our Post,<br />
sometimes showing up without much<br />
warning. I learned to lift with my legs<br />
and not my back.<br />
.<br />

Double Whammy continued…<br />
Soon after the waters had dropped<br />
back close to normal, we looked at the<br />
neighboring council’s Scout Reservation,<br />
along the Cape Fear River’s tributary:<br />
Camp Bowers and Camp McNeill. As a<br />
cub, I visited Camp McNeill , nicknamed<br />
“Cubworld” and camped in the “forts”. I<br />
played under the “teepee” roofed pavilion.<br />
As a Boy Scout and <strong>Venturing</strong> Crew<br />
youth, I spent camporees wandering<br />
Bowers. The pictures my brother brought<br />
back were terrible enough, and he hadn’t<br />
been able to make it to the actual camps<br />
because the roads were washed out. As<br />
soon as they could, the Cape Fear Council<br />
put out the call for help. Two Crews from<br />
LaFayette went out the first weekend<br />
Crew 32 and Crew 740. They joined the<br />
Cape Fear Troops and Packs clean up<br />
campsites, roads and buildings.<br />
The next weekend, Area 7 Advisor Rick<br />
Daigneault joined the groups helping with<br />
repairs and clean up. Crew 740 chose to<br />
go back out again, in part to make sure<br />
that things were as ready as they could be<br />
for the upcoming TLV: Circus of Demise<br />
event.<br />
The Occoneechee Scout Reservation,<br />
including Camp Durant and Camp Reeves<br />
by Carthage, North Carolina also suffered<br />
damage, with trees down and roads<br />
washed out or damaged. The work day<br />
was put off for a while and events still<br />
took place in useable parts of the<br />
reservation.<br />
Please consider camping at these<br />
camps and helping finish the repairs and<br />
clean up. If you can do it, think about<br />
reaching out to the Panhandle of Florida<br />
camps, too.<br />

When Patrick Sheedy saw the new<br />
arrivals to his troop, he noticed that the<br />
brothers were both Eagle Scouts and<br />
already “had sashes filled with tons of<br />
merit badges. I went up to Eric and<br />
started talking to him and his brother<br />
and the rest is history.” All three were<br />
“military brats”, used to moving around<br />
a lot. Patrick says he was “Born in<br />
Florida and moved around a lot living in<br />
New Orleans, Japan, Virginia Beach,<br />
Yuma Arizona, Norfolk, and back to<br />
Virginia Beach.<br />
The three friends stayed<br />
together for a couple of years before<br />
they transitioned together to Crew 490<br />
sat Gregory the Great Catholic Church.<br />
Patrick noticed that the Crew was small<br />
and “struggling to stay alive.” Eileen<br />
D’Andrea, Dylan and Eric’s mom<br />
stated, “Together Eric and Dylan and<br />
Patrick resurrected Crew 490 from the<br />
ashes. That’s how the Crew earned the<br />
logo of the Phoenix.”. Patrick agreed,<br />
‘When we joined it was a huge breath of<br />
life for the crew.”<br />
The new Phoenix Crew went on a lot of<br />
adventures, growing the Crew and<br />
adding future Summit candidates.<br />

Patrick Sheedy says of his friendship with<br />
Dylan and especially Eric, “Many of my<br />
favorite memories of Eric come from our<br />
time in scouting. From the many times<br />
going to Howl-O-Scream, snowboard/ski<br />
trips, 2013 National Jamboree, flag<br />
retirement ceremonies, 2015 NOAC, and<br />
everything in between.” They even shared<br />
issues with classes in high school, “ We<br />
even shared difficulties in advanced<br />
chemistry.” Patrick went on and relayed<br />
his favorite adventure with Crew 490:<br />
Eric and Dylan D’Andrea with Patrick Sheedy at 2015 NOAC<br />
“My favorite adventure with<br />
the crew would have to have been our<br />
spring break trip to Shenandoah. The<br />
D’Andreas, Helen Schoening, Charlie<br />
Schoening, Doug Farrar, my dad, and I all<br />
went on the trip. It was also our first<br />
Kodiak as well, which was being led by<br />
Eric and Dylan. We went on day hikes<br />
everyday, one of which included a small<br />
rock scramble which was fun. One day a<br />
stormfront came through and draped over<br />
the mountains. We got to see this firsthand<br />
and it was amazing as you couldn’t see<br />
more than a few feet in front of you. Eric<br />
had gotten caught up in it but was able to<br />
find his way back to camp.”<br />
Things changed in a big way,<br />
when Eric D’Andrea ended his life. It<br />
impacted his younger brother and<br />
motivated Dylan to complete the first<br />
Area 7 Summit. It also impacted Patrick’s<br />
life. He was in college, where support<br />
systems after personal loss are generally<br />
not comprehensive and can be non<br />
existent, going through the grieving<br />
process, while attempting to return to an<br />
emotional sense of normalcy. “One impact<br />
it also had on my life was my place at Old<br />
Dominion University (ODU). I struggled<br />
the semester following his death. I no<br />
longer wanted to stay all day like I had<br />
used to. I was disinterested in classes and<br />
received no support from the<br />
administration members who visited me at<br />
his funeral who said that they would help<br />
me. I no longer want to return to ODU.”<br />
Patrick’s experience is not unusual.<br />
Resources that may be helpful to others<br />
who experience a traumatic and<br />
unexpected loss will follow this article.<br />

A DREAM RESCUED CONTINUED…<br />
Patrick was able to rebound,<br />
remaining in touch with the D’Andrea<br />
family. He says” I do this through scouting<br />
events but I mostly do this by hanging out<br />
with Dylan. I always try to find a way to<br />
hang out with Dylan any chance I get to. “<br />
“<br />
With me being at James Madison<br />
University and Dylan being at the<br />
University of Maryland, there’s only a<br />
two-hour distance between us from<br />
hanging out for sports events or just in<br />
general.” He also was able to get back on<br />
track academically, managing to “hold an<br />
Associates Degree of Science in<br />
Psychology with a Magna Cum Laude<br />
GPA of 3.766, currently going to James<br />
Madison University to complete my<br />
Bachelors of Science in Psychology.” His<br />
interest in the martial arts may helped as<br />
well, as he “practiced kendo for ten years<br />
in the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai dojo.” He<br />
also stated that “One of the biggest<br />
impacts [of Eric’s death] was that it made<br />
me look closer at people who may not be<br />
in a good place. It makes me to go talk to<br />
those people.”<br />
Patrick Sheedy served as the<br />
Tidewater <strong>Venturing</strong> Officer’s Association<br />
(VOA) President for two years. It made<br />
him look at the last step in his <strong>Venturing</strong><br />
journey: the Summit. “It took a long time<br />
to choose this project. After Eric’s death, I<br />
never really got on my Summit Award<br />
project for a long time.” It wasn’t until he<br />
was about to turn 20 that he finally got<br />
back on track for his Summit Award.<br />
“When I was looking at what I wanted to<br />
do for my project, I scrapped my original<br />
idea and decided to take up Eric’s project.<br />
I decided on picking up his project for a<br />
couple reasons. The first was that I did not<br />
want his project to be forgotten and not<br />
completed. The second reason was that it<br />
would allow me to carry out his living<br />
legacy and make sure that he was not<br />
forgotten.”<br />
.”<br />

A Dream Rescued continued…<br />
Patrick knew of Eric D’Andrea’s dream of<br />
helping the Crew’s Chartered Organization<br />
refurbish their baseball field. Dylan had built<br />
the stands, but no one had stepped up to Eric’s<br />
idea of refurbishing the dugouts. He said, “ The<br />
project was installing dugout shaders at St.<br />
Gregory the Great Catholic Church’s baseball<br />
field. It is one of many Eagle Scout and Summit<br />
Award projects that have been completed in<br />
order to further complete the baseball field.”<br />
The fact that he was picking up Eric’s project<br />
made things a little different. “… I had asked<br />
Chris D’Andrea if it was alright if I picked up<br />
Eric’s Summit Project. I felt that it was<br />
appropriate and right to ask him before I<br />
decided to complete the project.<br />
Because of thorough planning,<br />
and lots of help, the project was pretty<br />
straightforward.” “The project was completed<br />
on a Saturday with the assistance of Chris<br />
D’Andrea, Doug Farrar, Suzanne Montgomery,<br />
Bill Sheedy, Meghan Sheedy, and Tim Roy.” He<br />
says there was one obstacle though, “The only<br />
major difficulty we faced was that on the third<br />
base dugouts, the ground was extremely hard to<br />
dig into and required the use of a hand jack.<br />
Overall, it took about 8 hours that day to<br />
complete the project.” Patrick explained the<br />
benefit of his Summit project.<br />
“The benefit of my project was that it provided<br />
towards the completion of the baseball field at<br />
St. Gregory’s. It also allowed me to give back to<br />
my chartered organization as my Eagle Scout<br />
project was installing the batting cage at the<br />
baseball field. It also allowed me to complete<br />
Eric’s project.”<br />
The last phase of the project<br />
included hanging signs on the dugouts: one was<br />
for Patrick’s grandfather, the other was for Eric<br />
D’Andrea. Patrick reflected“the hardest,thing<br />
was putting up plaques on the dugout shaders.<br />
There were two plaques that we had made, one<br />
with Eric’s name and one with my grandfather’s<br />
name. Chris (D’Andrea) put up Eric’s plaque<br />
while my dad put up his father’s plaque.<br />
When asked about a ceremony<br />
celebrating his Summit Award, Patrick says<br />
matter-of-factly, I did have a ceremony.” The<br />
D’Andrea’s, members of my family, Chuck<br />
Kubic, Tom Sawyer, and other Tidewater<br />
scouters. It was a very emotional ceremony.” He<br />
commented that this was also when, “I was also<br />
awarded my VLA for my time as President of<br />
Tidewater VOA.”<br />
Patrick seems content with all he<br />
accomplished so far, “Looking back on my<br />
Summit Award, I see that it was a long journey.<br />
It included losing a brother, changing schools,<br />
and changing majors. It was also a time for me<br />
to think on how I wanted to give back to<br />
scouting as a youth one last time and how I<br />
wanted to do that. After looking back, I am<br />
extremely happy with how I got to accomplish<br />
everything.”<br />

Excerpts from Left behind after suicide<br />
Published: July, 2009<br />
Getting professional help<br />
• Suicide survivors are more likely than other bereaved people to seek the<br />
help of a mental health professional. Look for a skilled therapist who is<br />
experienced in working with grief after suicide. The therapist can<br />
support you in many ways, including these:<br />
– helping you make sense of the death and better understand any psychiatric<br />
problems the deceased may have had<br />
– treating you, if you're experiencing PTSD<br />
– exploring unfinished issues in your relationship with the deceased<br />
– aiding you in coping with divergent reactions among family members<br />
– offering support and understanding as you go through your unique grieving<br />
process.<br />
• Immediately after the suicide, assistance from a mental health<br />
professional may be particularly beneficial if you experience any of the<br />
following:<br />
– increased depression (or if you have a history of depression).<br />
– flashbacks, anxiety, or other symptoms of PTSD.<br />
– unwillingness of family or friends to continue talking about the loss.<br />
– suicidal thoughts or plans.<br />
– physical symptoms, such as ongoing sleep problems, significant weight gain or<br />
loss, or increasing dependency on tobacco or alcohol.<br />
– feelings of being stuck or unable to move forward (however slowly and<br />
painfully) in the grieving process.<br />
– discomfort in discussing troubling aspects of your relationship with the<br />
deceased.<br />
– little improvement after several months.<br />
The value of family therapy after a suicide has not been well studied, but a<br />
family therapist can sometimes help relatives communicate better and<br />
manage feelings of guilt and anger. However, it may not be possible to work<br />
through your own feelings in the presence of family members who are<br />
concerned mainly with finding someone to blame.<br />
11
A friend in need<br />
• Knowing what to say or how to help after a death is always difficult, but don't let fear of saying or<br />
doing the wrong thing prevent you from reaching out to suicide survivors. Don't hold back. Just as<br />
you would after any other death, express your concern, pitch in with practical tasks, and listen to<br />
whatever the person wants to tell you. Here are some special considerations:<br />
• Stay close. Families often feel stigmatized and cut off after a suicide. If you avoid contact because<br />
you don't know what to say or do, family members may feel blamed and isolated. Whatever your<br />
doubts, make contact. Survivors learn to forgive awkward behaviors or clumsy statements, as long<br />
as your support and compassion are evident.<br />
• Avoid hollow reassurance. It's not comforting to hear well-meant assurances that "things will get<br />
better" or "at least he's no longer suffering." Instead, the bereaved may feel that you don't want to<br />
acknowledge or hear them express their pain and grief.<br />
• Don't ask for an explanation. Survivors often feel as though they're being grilled: Was there a<br />
note? Did you suspect anything? The survivor may be searching for answers, but your role for the<br />
foreseeable future is simply to be supportive and listen to what they have to say about the person,<br />
the death, and their feelings.<br />
• Remember his or her life. Suicide isn't the most important thing about the person who died. Share<br />
memories and stories; use the person's name ("Remember when Brian taught my daughter how to<br />
ride a two-wheeler?"). If suicide has come at the end of a long struggle with mental or physical<br />
illness, be aware that the family may want to recognize the ongoing illness as the true cause of<br />
death.<br />
• Acknowledge uncertainty. Survivors are not all alike. Even if you are a suicide survivor yourself,<br />
don't assume that another person's feelings and needs will be the same as yours. It's fine to say you<br />
can't imagine what this is like or how to help. Follow the survivor's lead when broaching sensitive<br />
topics: "Would you like to talk about what happened?" (Ask only if you're willing to listen to the<br />
details.) Even a survivor who doesn't want to talk will appreciate that you asked.<br />
• Help with the practical things. Offer to run errands, provide rides to appointments, or watch over<br />
children. Ask if you can help with chores such as watering the garden, walking the dog, or putting<br />
away groceries. The survivor may want you to sit quietly, or perhaps pray, with him or her. Ask<br />
directly, "What can I do to help?"<br />
• Be there for the long haul. Dr. Jordan calls our culture's standard approach to grief the "flu model":<br />
grief is unpleasant but is relatively short-lived; after a stay at home, the bereaved person will jump<br />
back into life. Unfortunately, that means that once survivors are back at work and able to smile or<br />
socialize again, they quickly get the message that they shouldn't talk about their continuing grief.<br />
• Even if a survivor isn't bringing up the subject, you can ask how she or he is coping with the death<br />
and be ready to listen (or respect a wish not to talk about it). Be patient and willing to hear the<br />
same stories or concerns repeatedly. Acknowledging emotional days such as a birthday or<br />
anniversary of the death — by calling or sending a card, for example — demonstrates your support<br />
and ongoing appreciation of the loss.<br />

The past several months, the Area 7 VOA has<br />
been hard at work with planning our event,<br />
looking into <strong>Venturing</strong> themed products, and<br />
updating and recreating our website. I want to<br />
give a HUGE thank you to anyone who has<br />
been involved in a committee. If anyone<br />
would like to be on a committee, please<br />
contact an area officer! We are always looking<br />
for more help!<br />
The Last Venturer is looking to be an amazing<br />
event, and our VOA is ecstatic to get to meet<br />

"Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much."<br />
--Helen Keller<br />
As 2019 rapidly approaches and a new era of scouting is<br />
in view, it is time for all of us to think of ways to work<br />
together for the betterment of all young people. The<br />
number of Venturers is on the decline for multiple<br />
reasons. This means less young adults are receiving the<br />
advantages Scouting brings to them. We need to work as<br />
a team to help bring more youth into our crews. As the<br />
new troops full of young lady start up in February, crews<br />
should be teaming up with these units to help guide them<br />
in achieving their goals of Eagle and instilling dreams of<br />
adventure. These new young Scouts may someday be<br />
new young Venturers with the right role models in place<br />
now.<br />
