“Commerce and Commu-nity: Morattico General Store

Day,” from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 2, marks the seasonal opening day at the Morattico Waterfront Museum, 6584 Morattico Road, Morattico.

Guided golf cart tours and walking tours with maps and commentary will take visitors through the Morattico Historic District and sites of Mor-raughtacund Indian habitations, early English planters (Morattico Planta-tion, home of Joseph Ball, father of Mary Ball Washington), the Morattico/Whealton steamboat wharf, and homes of working watermen in the village on the Rappahannock River, reported Mary Martin.

Both “commerce” and “community” will be featured in family-friendly activities at the museum in the old Morattico General Store building as it begins its eleventh year, continued Martin. All activities and admission to the museum are free. A lunch of hot dog, chips, and a soda will be available for $5.

Community-wide yard sales from 8 a.m. to noon and additional yard sales in the museum pavilion from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. also will be featured. Maps to

Chesapeake Academy’s annual dinner auction gala will be held Saturday, May 2, on the Rowe Campus,107 Steamboat Road, Irvington. The Nautical Night auction will begin at 6 p.m. with a silent auction, followed by dinner and a live auction.

The Grace Church Yard Sale will be held from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 2, at YMCA/APYC Camp Kekoka, 1083 Boys Camp Road, Kilmarnock.

With “stupendous” support from a fantastic community, the yard sale will offer a bounty of super furniture in a building and a large tent, food, treasures, plants and outdoor furniture, books, men’s and women’s clothing, children’s toys and clothes, electronics, small appli-ances, jewelry, white elephants, pantry and linens, reported Judy Ripley, adver-tising and procurement chairman.

A “fantastic” auction of boats, a Chrysler van, a Ford truck cap for a super duty cab with a six-foot bed, numerous rototillers and a heavy duty table saw, will begin at 10 a.m., said Ripley. A silent auction will offer gift certificates for golf, restaurants and beauty salons.

“The yard sale committee and all the members have worked like a pack of industrious bees to make this happen,” said Ripley. “Our focus is 100% of the proceeds are given back to the commu-nity non-profits.”

Ripley thanked all who have sup-ported the effort.

“As always we thank you for your support,” said Ripley. “There is no other community that would respond with such generosity and caring.”

AREA EVENTS

Northern Neck Court Appointed Special Advocate Inc. (CASA) recently announced a benefit concert will be held at 6 p.m., May 15 at Savan-nah Joe’s, 55 Irvington Road, Kilmar-nock. The bands will include Stuck on a Name and 33 East. The cover charge will be $8 and all proceeds go to the Northern Neck CASA program.

The CASA program will provide volunteers to the judge of the juve-nile and domestic relations court who investigate the lives of abused and neglected children, reported direc-tor Betty Wirth. The advocates offer children trust and advocacy during the complex legal proceedings while remaining objective observers.

CASA also encourages the child to express his or her own opinion and hopes for his future, all of which is reported back to the court, said Wirth.

Preliminary findings have shown that children who have been assigned CASA volunteers tend to spend less time in court and less time in the foster care system, she said. Judges have observed that CASA advocated chil-dren also have better chances of find-ing permanent homes.

Nationally, there are over 900 pro-grams. The Northern Neck CASA pro-gram is the only program serving five counties, and has served over 350 chil-dren since its inception 11 years ago.

Interested parties in volunteering should call the CASA office at 462-0881.

The Northern Neck Orches-tra will celebrate “America the Beautiful” in concert at 7:30 p.m. May 9 at the Lancaster Middle School Theater, 191 School Street, Kilmarnock.

With all American composers and all-American themes, Mae-stro Guy Hayden has selected works that also showcase con-temporary Virginia composers. The orchestra and the Chesa-peake Chorale are honored to perform the first public staging of a new work by composer/conductor Robert Wendel, reported Jon Blatterman.

The opening half of the pro-gram will feature the chorale as guest artist with Dr. Cheryl Brown Davis, director. The orchestra and chorale will open the concert with selections from “Ode to the Virginian Voyage” (1956) by American composer Randall Thompson.

Next is “Sing America” by Rex Mitchell, composer, conductor and music educator. Dr. Mitch-ell composed this piece for the Bicentennial in 1976. The first half will conclude with the world premier of “Virginia, 1861” by Wendel, a work for chorus and

orchestra intended as a remem-brance of the 150th anniversary of the U.S. Civil War.

There are two movements in “Virginia, 1861,” War, based on a poem by Herman Melville; and Peace, based on a poem by James Joyce. The Peace move-ment uses a reduced orchestra.

A children’s chorus, directed by Mei-Li Beane, will add sweetness and pathos to the hymn of peace said program editor Nancy Rowland. The text of the poems that the cho-

rale will sing will be printed in the program.

The second half of the pro-gram will open with “The Spirit of Freedom” by Tracy Rush, composed for the Dubuque Symphony as a concert fanfare.

Nancy Bloomer Deussen’s “Reflections on the Hudson” was composed while she sat on a park bench in Manhattan overlooking the Hudson River.

Also featured in the program will be the “Hoedown” sec-tion from the ballet “Rodeo” by

Aaron Copland, music with per-cussion and brass effects and solo instruments playing folk themes.

Maestro Hayden will conduct Morton Gould’s “Pavanne” in its original light, classical style.

“Fiddle-Faddle” by Leroy Anderson will be followed by Alfred Reed’s orchestral arrangement of “America the Beautiful.” The concert will conclude with “Mr. Mozart Takes a Ride on the Orange Blossom Special” or “Hoedown Showdown” by John Howell, who taught music at Virginia Tech for 35 years.

Tickets are $20 at the door or northernneckorchestra.org. Students will be admitted free.

The orchestra is funded in part by the Rappahannock Foundation for the Arts, The Virginia Commission for the Arts, the National Endow-ment for the Arts, the Domin-ion Foundation, River Coun-ties Community Foundation, the Bank of Lancaster, Lulu & Mason Cole Charitable Trust and The Tidewater Foundation.

Chesapeake Investment Group will host a presentation of the “100th Anniversary of the Sinking of the RMS Lusita-nia” at 5 p.m. May 12 at Good Luck Cellars, 1025 Good Luck Road, Kilmarnock.

Award-winning historian, preservationist and author, John V. Quarstein, will recount the details of this historic event that precipitated Amer-ica’s entry into World War I, reported Jean Light.

Quarstein has served as the director of the Virginia War Museum since 1978 and also oversees the management of the City of Newport News’ historic properties including Endview Plantation, Lee Hall Mansion, Young’s Mill, and the Newsome House. He serves as the historical advisor for the Mariners’ Museum’s U.S.S.

Monitor Center project, and has served as an adjunct pro-fessor at the College of Wil-liam and Mary, the University of Virginia, and Virginia Com-monwealth University.

He is the author of seven books including Fort Monroe:

The Key to the South, C.S.S. Virginia: Mistress of Hampton Roads, Civil War on the Vir-ginia Peninsula and The Battle of the Ironclads.

Quarstein was the recipi-ent of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s 1993 President’s Award for His-toric Preservation Award, and the United Daughters of the Confederacy’s Jefferson Davis Gold Medal in 1999.

He serves on the board of several national organizations including Virginia Civil War Trails, John Singleton Mosby Foundation, and Chief Historical Advisor for the U.S.S. Monitor.

Quarstein lives in Hampton and on his Eastern Shore farm with his wife, Martha, and son, John Morgan.

RSVP by calling 435-3652 by Wednesday, May 6. HonkyTonk Heroes will per-

form from 6 to 10 p.m. May 16 at Festival Halle, 177 Main Street, Reedville. The concert will benefit the Reedville Fish-ermen’s Museum.

“HonkyTonk Heroes are well-known throughout Vir-ginia and beyond, opening for a number of big country stars,” said executive director Shawn Hall. “Now the Northern Neck gets a chance to enjoy the incredible talents of this band for this special performance.”

Tickets are $20. To reserve tickets, call the museum office at 453-6529. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fri-days.

Beer, wine, hotdogs and pop-corn will be available. Coolers are not allowed. Folks must be at least age 21 to attend the concert.

The Middle Peninsula-Northern Neck Community Services Board’s Prevention Services Division will offer a Mental Health First Aid (Youth) Course from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. May 29 at Northern Neck Electric Cooperative, 173 Pine Street, Warsaw.

The purpose of the training is to promote a more in-depth understanding of mental health in families and communities, reported administrative assistant Gina Endres. The training requires registration and is free to the public.

This 8-hour certification course assists family members, care-givers, school staff, health and human service workers to help adults and youth who may be experiencing a mental illness or crisis, added Endres.

The registration deadline is May 22. A fee of $25 will be applied for cancellations made after May 25 and for no-shows.

“Get Somers Started,” a food and spirit tasting to benefit the Skipjack Claud W. Somers, will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. May 24, at the Reedville Fish-ermen’s Museum, 504 Main Street, Reedville.

Built in 1911 by Thomas Young in Accomack County, Claud W. Somers spent many winters on the Chesapeake Bay dredging oysters. She won the skipjack races in 1966, was sunk by a squall near Hooper Strait light in 1977, oystered some more until 1983 when she was dry docked and languished until donated to the Reedville Fish-ermen’s Museum in 1999, reported executive director Shawn Hall.

Three generations of Cock-rells and dozens of museum volunteers spent over 3,000 hours restoring the Claud W. Somers. By October 2001 she was ready to sail. It’s been esti-mated that some 2,000 skip-jacks were built for dredging oysters on the bay, said Hall. Today Claud W. Somers is one of less than 24 skipjacks remaining.

The Claud W. Somers is listed on the National Regis-ter of Historic Places and has been well loved and cared for, but at the age of 104 she needs a little extra care and repair, he

The fee is $40 for members, $50 for others and $75 for the VIP Captain’s Table, which allows early admission (2:30 p.m), reserved seating and exclusive tastings.

Tickets may be purchased at the museum, or 453-6529.

Shoreline Plants for Beach and Bank will be presented at 2 p.m. May 8 at the Lancaster Commu-nity Library, 235 School Street, Kilmarnock.

“The Shoreline Evalua-tion Team of the Northern Neck Master Gardeners will lead an illustrated presentation on the native plants suitable for plant-ing in shoreline situations, with special emphasis on issues of salinity, light, elevation and soil conditions,” said team leader Sue Lindsey.

Information on resources and planting techniques also will be offered.

“Virginia legislation promotes use of plants for shoreline stabi-lization. Shorelines with natural vegetation have many envi-ronmental advantages—and in many cases can be accomplished by the homeowner without out-side help,” said Lindsey.

“Granted, it’s not always prac-tical to do this because of wave action and other issues. But

where plants are part of the solu-tion, selecting the right ones can make all the difference. One of the most common questions we hear from homeowners is ‘what can I grow on my bank or shore?’ Sometimes the options are very

limited,” she said. “Knowing what can flourish in specific con-ditions can save the homeowner a lot of heartache.”

Members of the Northern Neck Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society will intro-

duce their new brochures on salt-tolerant plants, deer-resistant plants and plants that promote water quality.

The formal presentation will last about an hour, followed by additional time for questions.

“If you can’t stay for the entire program, stop by with your ques-tions, or to pick up a brochure or plant list,” said Lindsey.

The Master Gardeners offer on-site shoreline evalu-ations. The program provides assistance to waterfront home-owners who are looking for ways to stabilize their shoreline and want an objective analysis of their options. The Shoreline Evaluation Team also visits farmers’ markets and other community events to answer questions and distribute infor-mation.

Applications for on-site eval-uations, the site inventory ques-tionnaire and a variety of shore-line information are available at shorelinennmg.weebly.com.

Rappahannock Westmin-ster-Canterbury on May 11 will hold a 30th Anniversary Celebration at 2 p.m. in the Chesapeake Auditorium, 132 Lancaster Road, Irvington.

The service will mark RW-C’s 30 years of serving residents and the commu-nity and will honor the many staff who have worked there during those years.

The idea for the ser-vice came from longtime employee Genita Maiden-Shearin.

“Recently I was with a number of former employees of RW-C who are now scat-tered around the region,” said Maiden-Shearin. “Many of them worked here when they were young and have moved on to raise families and pursue other careers. Like me, they remember fondly their time at RW-C, and they expressed interest in coming back for a reunion. I thought it would be most appropriate to schedule an event at the time RW-C is celebrating its 30th anniversary.”

She is one of two remain-ing RW-C employees who were hired when it opened in 1985. The other, Lillian George, now works as an office manager in RW-C’s Health Center.

“In 1985, I was a young single mother of two work-ing at the BP station in town. Evelyn Owens brought me an application. I was hired as a cook the day after I applied, and subsequently advanced to cook supervisor and man-ager before becoming pro-duction manager. Working at RW-C has allowed me to put both my children through college,” she said.

The program will fea-ture RW-C’s gospel choir, the Wings of Praise Gospel Group and entertainment by RW-C staff, including Alexis Robinson, a member of the Sharon Baptist Church Praise Dancers, who will organize a praise dance presentation.

Chaplain Davis Smith is assisting Maiden-Shearin in organizing the event. The religiously themed festivities also will include a sermon, he said.

The service is open to the public. Former RW-C employees are uged to attend. No reservations are required.

■Urbanna Baptist Church, 121

RAPPAHANNOCK RECORD

Rev. John Farmer has been the pastor at Irvington Baptist Church since 1986.

My mind, or what’s left of it, wanders back to a

hot summer time when Hazel and I were newlyweds living at Haydon Hall, the former parsonage of the Irvington Baptist Church.

Along the shores of our rivers, creeks and bays people and things take on a laid-back attitude in the heat of summer. Those last few days had been sweltering, muggy, and really hot. ‘Twas the kind of day that sucks the life from muscles. Such days give par-ticular opportunity for pro-crastination. I am especially want to procrastinate on such occasions—I just can’t get around to it.

A night or two back we ral-lied ‘round the kitchen table to celebrate our most impor-tant bill-paying time. Checks written, envelopes licked (yuk) and stamps affixed, I announced that I would saunter across to the Post Office and drop the bills in the letter box so that they would get a fresh sail in the AM; “checks in the mail.”

There was a traffic jam in Irvington and I had to wait for two cars to pass. It was exhaust-ing. Anyway I reached the Post Office and cast a side-ways glance over at the then ChrisMart next door. Some-thing clicked. After mosey-ing in and dropping my pile of obligations in the box, I returned to the muggy dark night.

Then I remember the “click” of anticipation and took a right hand turn into the ChrisMart. I pressed my fat little belly against the cold glass of the ice cream coun-ter. The perky lass working there inquired of my desires. I said, “let me pay you first, then I can rush home before my two-scoop cones melt away.” Money down, the lass piled high one cone of Heav-enly Hash and fixed another: Butter Pecan. Out the door I went.

Do you know that on a hot summer night with two, two-

scoop cones that it is quite a job for one tongue? But I was up to the task; say, where are those cars when you need them? Eventually I arrived back at home, pushed the doorbell with the back of my hand. Certainly someone with a missionary heart would admit me to the premises. It took Hazel a brief moment to arrive and welcome me back. You should have seen the smile on her little face when she saw the cones.

“Pick the one you like best, dear,” I said. “It doesn’t matter ‘cause I’ve licked them both anyway.” We found suitable chairs and licked our way cool.

It reminded me of a friend long gone. Storekeeper Chris Saunders of Slabtown, once shared a grand story with me. During the days of steamboats and church camps, Chris and

family took to boat and were tied along side the old wharf at Wharton’s Grove, Weems. There was a summer revival happening. It was the custom of young lads to promenade around the tabernacle strut-ting for the girls; hoping to catch the eye of some young beauty.

Chris remembered for me a very hot summer day. It was a break-through moment, the first time he had encountered ice cream out of a cardboard sleeve. Not the home churned kind; but store-bought, which as any devotee of country living will tell you is best. Of course, city-raised kids do carry on about home-churned. Fickle folks, are we not? Anyway, Chris said that his mom gave him one nickel to spend for the day and eve-ning. He worried over such riches so as not to squander a good opportunity in the heat

of desire.Chris walked the long pier

as the Lancaster was tying up. He delighted in the dis-charge of Baltimore, Nor-folk, White Stone, and Cart-er’s Creek pilgrims coming ashore. Once the gangplank was relieved, he boarded the riverboat. He went straight to the concession area and, like the preacher at the beginning of this story, rested upon the ice cream glass. What a beau-tiful sight for a country boy! More ice cream than he had ever seen in one place. What to do? What to do? Finally he decided upon the strawberry. Nickel spent, with tongue a’lickin, he hit the gangplank and that long pier extending out into the Rappahannock. Wow, he was proud.

Chris said it was the pret-tiest thing he’d ever seen (he hadn’t met Miss Fanny yet!).

It was so pretty that he wanted to show it to his mom, so he licked and walked, walked and licked. By the time he had matured the pier, he had strawberry hands, arms, and toes. He eventually found his mom and shared a lick and the attention that little boys get when they

share their dreams and lives with their moms. I call it holy.

Note: It will be my privi-lege to narrate the May 16, 2015, performance of the Bay Tones at the Nazarene Church, White Stone, Va. The performance theme will be about Old Wharton Grove, where docked those steam-boats of long ago.

Have you shared a cone with some lad or lass lately? Grab that phone; make a date. Borrow the neighbor kids if you have to. Find a youth (or two) and flee to the closest spot near you. Share stories of old with the kids while licking away the evening. It will be a moment frozen in time—never forgotten. Oh, senior citizens like to lick, too. Bless you.

The United Methodist churches of the lower Northern Neck will hold a mission fair, Methodists United for Mis-sions, from 1 to 4 p.m. May 16 at Kilmarnock UMC, 89 East Church Street, Kilmarnock.

Some 13 churches will show what Methodists do to reach people offering the love, care and hope of Jesus Christ, said White Stone UMC pastor the Rev. Bryan McClain.

“Whether it is with finan-cial support by fundraising with things like bake sales, thrift stores or auction houses, or hands on ministries like making prayer shawls, collect-ing canned goods, or taking a mission trip across town, across the nation, or out of the country, the United Method-ist Church is hard at work and we want to share just what we are doing with you, our neigh-bors,” said Rev. McClain.

Along with these churches, there will also be some of the very ministries they support, including United Methodist Family Services, Society of St. Andrew, Pathways of Peters-burg, Boys & Girls Club, The Northern Neck Free Health Clinic and Fredericksburg District’s Heartwood Minis-tries Center, he said.

From its very beginnings, the Methodist church has always been about missions. Even before the Methodist Church was ever thought of, both John and Charles Wesley were mission-minded pastors, explained Rev. McClain. Their dream came true when General John Oglethorpe requested both to be the chaplains to accompany his voyage to the colony of Georgia in present-day Savannah and pastor the band of British exiles.

John envisioned being a missionary to the Native American Indians, he contin-ued. Unfortunately for John and Charles, things did not go as well as they had planned and John wound up going back to England earlier than he expected to. Never-the-

less, John was always about reaching out.

“As Methodists that is who we are, or at least that is who we are supposed to be—a people reaching out with a love, compassion and heart for people and share with them the good news of Jesus Christ,” said Rev. McClain. “We are also a connectional people. That is we are not a

bunch of individual churches who happened to share the same name, United Method-ist. We are called that for a very good reason. We are one church working together in many different places for the sake of Jesus Christ.”

At the mission fair, there also will be food, games and music by the Phil Johnson Band and Nancy McClain.
