Rappahannock Record Kilmarnock, VA

Professor Mike Goatley, Ph. D., of Virginia Tech will be the featured speaker at the Northern Neck Master Gar-deners’ Lawn Seminar August 23.

The seminar will be offered from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Transportation Building, Rice’s Hotel/Hughlett’s Tavern, 73 Monument Place, and from 1 to 3 p.m. at Westmoreland County School Board Meeting Room, 141 Opal Lane, Montross.

According to Goatley, lawns that are managed respon-sibly can prosper without damage to the environment.

A professor at Virginia Tech, Dr. Goatley writes and lectures throughout the state on turfgrass issues, reaching out to industry professionals and homeowners with tips and best management practices on how to “keep lawns green and water clean.”

Dr. Goatley recently responded to questions about his upcoming presentation: whether or not lawns and turf areas, managed responsibly, can actually benefit the envi-ronment, what can be done in the fall to restore our lawns, and what key points he hopes people will take away from his presentation.

NNMG: Why have the seminar now? Is there some-thing we should be doing with our lawns in the fall?

Dr. Goatley: With cool-season grasses being the pre-dominant species used in Northern Neck lawns, fall is the prime time to get them in shape for the next season. And if one grows a warm-season lawn, there are some important things to do in the fall to help it perform better in 2015.

NNMG: Can lawns be good for the environment?Dr. Goatley: Absolutely... turfgrasses are amazing

plants when you think of the abuse that they can take and they keep coming back for more. How many other plants can you bounce, roll, walk, run, or drive on, cut to heights of 1 to 2 inches (as low as 0.1” for a golf put-ting green) with a piece of metal spinning at 3,000 rpms and you expect it to not only live, but thrive. Turfgrasses provide great functional benefits in soil stabilization/ero-

sion control, atmospheric cooling, and carbon sequestra-tion. I always preach that it is not the turf that is bad for the environment, it’s the person managing it who makes inappropriate management decisions that can have unin-tended consequences.

NNMG: What’s new and different nowadays when it comes to maintaining our lawns?

Dr. Goatley: New grasses, new chemistries, and new equipment are always in the works and arriv-ing on the scene. But of most impor-

tance, is the realization that what we do in managing our lawn can impact the bay and other water resources if we don’t take the right steps. I tell folks that your lawn can and should be the Las Vegas of the plant world—“what happens there stays there” if you manage it the right way.

NNMG: How often do you do these seminars—and what sorts of feedback do you get?

Dr. Goatley: I probably do 20 to 25 of these types of seminars per year all across the state. My favorite usual comment is something like this: “A presentation on turf-grass was the one Master Gardener training topic I was least interested in for this year’s educational programs, but I want you to know that that presentation wasn’t so bad after all.”

NNMG: What do you hope people will “take away” from your seminar?

Dr. Goatley: Having a great lawn in Virginia is never going to be easy because we can grow eight different turf-grasses in this state, none of them very well. But basic things such as taking and utilizing soil tests, other ways to improve soil health, how to apply fertilizer, seed, and other chemicals at the right rates and time, and adjust-ments to make in mowing based on the season can all make a huge difference in the performance and quality of a lawn. I tell folks my goal with any of these presentations is to hopefully show folks how to “keep water clean and lawns green.”

Cathie Ward is the communications chairman for the Northern Neck Master Gardeners.

The community is invited to Haley Smith’s 14th birthday celebration from 4 to 9 p.m. Sunday, August 17, on the beach at Willaby’s on the Rappahan-nock, 327 Old Ferry Road, White Stone.

Relax on the beach and watch the sun setting while listening to live music and supporting a worthwhile cause, said Lisa Smith.

Music will be provided by Legacy and Itchy Dog. There will be games and activities for kids provided by Just Add People and the youth of White Stone Church of the Nazarene. Entry is by donation. Suggested donation is $10 adults and $5 for children under 12. Food, soda, wine and beer will be pro-vided by Willaby’s at an additional cost.

Haley Smith of White Stone has Dravet Syndrome, a rare and cata-strophic form of epilepsy.

She has had seizures since she was five months old and continues to have several seizures daily. In the past year she has had a dramatic increase in sei-zures, the majority of which occur in her sleep, said Lisa Smith, her mother.

The risk of death due to seizures is on the mind of every parent of a child with Dravet, she added. Proceeds from the birthday bash will go to the Dravet Syndrome Foundation and to help with Haley’s medical expenses.

Those who cannot attend the event, but would like to make a donation, follow this link, kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent+1117937.

Paul and Rosemary Trible have graciously opened Gas-cony to the Northern Neck Land Conservancy from 1 to 4 p.m. September 14 for the 11th annual Boots & BBQ land con-servation awareness day.

The conservancy supports planning for growth that incor-porates preservation of farm-land, timber stands and natural areas, said outreach coordina-tor Kathy Elsden. The conser-vancy raises awareness of the critical link between preserva-tion of natural areas and clean water and the benefits of pro-tecting land. It does this by guiding landowners who wish to protect their land from future development by helping them to establish conservation ease-ments.

The event will be held in Northumberland County at an historic home on Mill Creek. Thomas Gascoyne/Gaskins, an immigrant of French origin from the West Riding of York-shire, England, arrived in Vir-ginia in 1619 on the Bona Nova at the age of 18.

In 1649, he came to Nor-thumberland County, patented land on the Great Wicomico River and established his plantation, Gascony, ideal for growing and shipping tobacco. Burned by the British during the Revolutionary War, Gas-cony was rebuilt in 1848 at Balls Neck by Lucius Thor-walsen Harding. The current structure has been in the Trible family for almost 100 years.

In 2012, after working hard to bring sub-divided parcels of land back together into one working landscape of forest and farmland, Paul Trible, pres-ident of Christopher Newport

Kevin and Emily Frith of Charlottes-ville announce the birth of their daughter, Katie Scar-lett Frith.

Scarlett was born at 3:05 p.m. Wednesday, July 23, 2014, at Martha Jeffer-son Hospital in Charlottes-ville. She weighed 6 pounds, 14 ounces and measured 19¼ inches long.

Maternal grandparents are Thom and Francine Green of Sutherland and Wallace Newman Jr. of Dinwiddie.

Paternal grandparents are Ray and Susan Frith of Glen Allen and Tom and Jean Light of Emmerton.

Great-grandmothers are Joan Sieg of Mechanicsville, Nancy Hotchkiss of Kilmarnock and Esther Collins of San Diego.

Two actresses promise audiences will go home “with Emily Dickinson in their hearts” after upcoming per-formances of “The Belle of Amherst.”

Kathryn “Kat” Shepherd will portray Dickinson in the one-woman play at 8 p.m. September 12 and 13 and 3 p.m. September 14 at the Lan-caster Playhouse, 316 Chesa-peake Drive, White Stone. Julia Tilley will portray Dick-inson at 8 p.m. September 19 and 20 and 3 p.m. September 21 at the Westmoreland Play-ers Theater, 16217 Richmond Road, Callao.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for students. Proceeds benefit the Northern Neck Court Appointed Special Advocate program. Tickets can be purchased at Wal-greens in Kilmarnock and from CASA volunteers, or 462-0881.

The two—who will alter-nate their stints personifying the enigmatic, much loved 19th-century poet—are pur-posely not watching each other at rehearsal.

“We’re approaching it in our own ways,” said Tilley.

Shepherd said she thinks “she’s becoming Emily” so closely is she studying her life. “Emily was a kind of Elvis Presley of her day. She, too was a genius, abso-lutely fascinating in what she observed and wrote about.”

The pair say the play, by William Luce, which opened on Broadway in 1977 and later was adapted for televi-sion, allows them to do some-thing actors don’t usually do.

“Normally, you’re directed to look in the middle distance when you’re on stage. In this one we’ll be looking right into the audience’s eyes,”

said Shepherd. “ Emily has so much to bring, I promise we’re going to pierce your hearts.”

By opening night, both will have mastered a 70+ page script. They will each be on stage continuously with only a brief intermission between acts.

The actresses were asked about how they keep track of where they are in the play text, “The stories she tells just guide you along,” said Tilley. “You can’t get lost, everything just branches out,” added Shepherd.

Overall, the play is a dramatic narrative cover-ing aspects of Emily’s life from childhood to death. The actresses say that one

moment they’re telling Emi-ly’s hilarious stories and the next moment they are fight-ing back tears as they learn to express the poignancy of her thoughts and writings.

It’s true that Dickinson has long intrigued scholars. “This play will show you why that is,” said Shepherd.

Annual Boots & BBQ slated September 14

From left, Kathryn “Kat” Shepherd and Julia Tilley will portray Emily Dickinson in the upcoming presentation of “The Belle of Amherst.”

Actresses personifying Dickinsonapproach task from different angles

director/producer Kenneth Baker to make the encom-passing atmosphere of the production—its verisimili-tude—as authentic as pos-sible. Baker inspired the duo to take on the task of telling the dramatized story.

Dickinson spent almost all her life in her father’s house in Amherst, venturing outside only briefly.

“That makes the whole thing kind of very centered, focused. If we do our jobs right, the audience will be living in that house right along with us,” said Shep-herd.

The pair have differently nuanced approaches to their task.

Shepherd is highly intense, determined to illuminate the life of the mind and con-sciousness of the poet.

“Me, I’m more homespun, I think,” said Tilley.

Both aim for an intimate relationship with their audi-ence. That will come in many forms, and one will be in the form of a large cake.

Baking was big in the 1800s, a social bridge between people at gatherings. On stage, it serves as the link to the audience too. The cakes used in the production will even be baked according to the historic recipe—which Emily “will be glad to give you.”

University, placed 508 acres of the plantation into a conserva-tion easement.

Boots & BBQ provides an opportunity for attendees to learn more about the conser-vancy and showcases other exhibitors representing preser-vation, education, history and environment, said Elsden.

“Protecting Northern Neck Land Protects the Chesapeake Bay” is the theme, she said. Ann Jennings, Virginia direc-tor of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, is the keynote speaker.

The event also will feature a dj, fried oysters, pork barbecue and sides, homemade desserts, beverages (including beer and wine), a Protect the Bay Lucky Draw Raffle and lawn games, said Elsden. The winning ticket for a grand prize Wilderness Systems 120 Tarpon Kayak and waterfront overnights will be drawn at 3:50 p.m..

All inclusive tickets are $25. Tickets may be purchased at the conservancy office, 8327 Mary Ball Road, Lancaster, nnconserve.org, or 462-0979.

Blue-stemmed goldenrod (Solidago caesia) is an attrac-tive, woodland wildflower currently coming into bloom in the Northern Neck. Vari-ous kinds of goldenrods are common in our region, but this one is quite unusual because of its growth habit and unique stem color.

Many goldenrods spread rapidly by means of under-ground roots but this one forms well-behaved clumps 1½ to 3 feet in height. Its enlongated, non-branching stems are a distinctive blue-gray. The yellow flowers appear in clusters along the stems in late summer and early fall. It likes partial shade but blooms best in full sun, although blue-stemmed gold-enrod is often found in the shade of oak trees.

Drought tolerant and trou-

ble-free, blue-stemmed gold-enrod is a good plant for dry shade, either in a border or in a natural area of the home garden. It provides food for numerous songbirds and insects. Goldenrod has an undeserved reputation for causing seasonal aller-gies. Wind-borne pollen of plants such as ragweed are the real culprits.

On August 9, Lancaster/Northumberland Habitat for Humanity (LNHFH) dedi-cated its latest home on Wig-gins Avenue in Kilmarnock. The home is the 16th built by LNHFH since the local affili-ate of Habitat for Humanity International was established in 1996.

Family selection commit-tee chairman Gracie Tiggle introduced Jennifer Redmon, the new homeowner. Family, friends and volunteers

acknowledged the new home-owner with applause. Sandy Gray sang of the struggles Redmon encountered and persevered.

The Rev. Peyton Waller, Redmon’s pastor at New St. John’s Baptist Church in Kilmarnock, blessed the home. Other members of the congregation congratulated her.

Building committee chair-man Scott Hommel recog-nized the volunteers who had

had a special part of the build-ing process with Redmon and gave her the key to her new home.

Redmon also received a Bible from LNHFH president Nan Flynn. To help prepare all the food in the refrigera-tor, Flynn presented Redmon a Habitat cookbook.

“Jennifer told me she will never sell her home because she wants to leave it to her children, a long-range vision that many of our homeowners share,” said Flynn.

Redmon thanked the many people who have made home ownership a reality for her and her two daughters, Aini-jah and Markazjah. Although there are still finishing touches which require com-pletion, she proudly invited all the guests to enjoy a tour and refreshments on the back deck.

Sandy Gray sang “I Love to Praise Him” and the Rev. Waller blessed the food.

Redmon’s home was con-structed principally by vol-unteers, including Redmon, who completed 300 hours of “sweat equity” by working on her own and other Habitat homes.

Volunteer efforts included Apostle Builds by Cal-vary Baptist Church and Heathsville United Method-ist Church, as well as two Women Builds, both spon-sored by Virginia Women’s Center, a mission visit from Villanova athletes, a commu-nity day with the Navy Chiefs and the generous contribution of time and expertise by regu-lar volunteers on Tuesday and Thursday workdays.

Community partners included Chesapeake Bank, which organized a Com-munity Build Day and Shop Local fundraiser, as well as many local businesses that contributed their services.

Landscaping for Redmon’s home was provided by the Kilmarnock Garden Club with a grant from the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs.

Five years after it began, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s Earth Care Con-gregations program is cel-ebrating 14 churches nation-wide that have demonstrated a commitment to caring for God’s creation. These 14 churches are the original churches to be certif ied in the program. St. Andrews Presbyterian in Kilmarnock is one of the 14.

To be certif ied as an Earth Care Congregation, churches complete projects in four areas: worship, education, facilities, and outreach, reported the Rev. Dr. Judith Thomson. Recertif ication is required annually. About 140 Presbyterian churches are recertif ied every year. The 14 churches that were certi-fied in the original year vary in size and location and in the activities they undertake in pursuit of caring for cre-ation.

At St. Andrews, a group called the Creation Care Alliance oversees concern for the environment in a vari-ety of ways, said Thomson. Within the church building, the kitchen and fellowship hall are set up for recycling of paper, glass and alumi-num. There are paper col-lection bins throughout the building. Exit signs are illu-minated with LED bulbs. Leaky windows have been sealed and, when the time came to purchase new HVAC units, energy-efficient ones were obtained. Signs by light switches remind the last person out to turn off the lights. Toilets are equipped to save water. The church has researched the use of solar panels and is poised for the future should the technology become more affordable.

Outdoors, behind the church, is a wildflower garden designed to attract pollinators (bees and butter-flies), added Thomson.

St. Andrews also recycles ink jet printer cartridges and computers, and people stop by to drop off items, she said. The church also conducts a semi-annual trash pick-up on Town Center Road, where members are visible near their “CAUTION: Presby-

terians at Work” signs. Sev-eral trash pick-up outings to Hughlett Point beach also have taken place.

St. Andrews also has orga-nized several f ield trips to learn about organizations and processes that do things for the good of the earth. Trip destinations have included Polyface Farms in Swoope, Rappahannock Oyster Com-pany in Topping, Omega Protein in Reedville and various recycling facilities in Hampton, most of which were seen during one outing dubbed the “Tour de Trash.”

Annually, St. Andrews

holds a Creation Care Sunday, when the worship service has a stewardship-of-the-earth theme. Follow-ing this service, the church conducts a special collection of recyclable electronics and sneakers (the soles are recy-cled by Nike into surfaces for certain sports facilities). Each issue of the church’s monthly newsletter includes a creation care-related arti-cle.

In all these activities, St. Andrews strives to link Christian faith with daily life and creation care, said Thomson.

Urbanna Baptist Church will host a Living Proof Live Simul-cast September 13. The doors will open at 8:30 a.m., the event will start at 9:30 a.m. and continue to 4:30 p.m.

Beth Moore will speak from Fort Wayne, Ind., reported UBC women’s Bible study facilitator Dana Longest. Travis Cottrell will be the worship leader.

All area women are invited to experience this global, one-day simulcast that will encourage them to dive deeper into the word of God, said Longest. Moore follows the leading of the Holy Spirit to prepare a specific message for each of her events.

The fee is $5 for registration and includes admission, conti-nental breakfast and lunch. Proceeds benefit Samaritan’s Purse.

Make checks payable to Urbanna Baptist Church (memo: Simulcast), P.O.. Box 416, Urbanna, VA 23175.

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

Again and again I am called to look at a topic

of extreme importance to contemporary believers: you and me. It hails from a harvest of New Testa-ment truths. Here’s the list of texts from which we will launch our thoughts; John 13:34, 15:12, 15:17; Rom. 12:10, 13:8; 1 Ths. 4:9; 1 Pet. 1:22; 1 John 3:11, 3:14, 3:23, 4:7, 4:11-12, & 2 John 5. Don’t trust me to do your homework. Make the time this week to read the collection for yourself.

Ask of each text, how does this affect me? How should I respond to this text? In light of this passage, how does Christ expect me to live? After all, it is how each individual responds to Christ, not how you relate to this preacher per se.

There is perhaps no other collection of Biblical mandates as hard to keep as this one thought: loving one another. Some people are just not lovable, or at least it seems that way. A deeper look into the truth foretold and we process the word more maturely.

Keep this in mind: we do not have to like a person, to love them. Join me and try and realize how Christ loves us and them. Grasp a higher view. Further, we must separate actions from personhood. How, you might ask can we stand the test? Ask yourself one simple question. Was I lov-able when Christ reached out to me? Try another: do you suppose he liked me at the time?

Friends, we are the inher-

itors of grace. That is the unmerited favor of God, despite our circumstances, lifestyle, or behavior. In his innocence, He found enough love to see in us that which we might have been, and that which we still can be, to pardon our transgressions.

You see, it is about what Christ did, by dying for our sin, not what we did or did not do. We align ourselves under the shadow of his cross. His vicarious death, for the punishment of sin, enables us to stand beneath a blanket of love. Should we do less in our daily rela-tionships with other human

beings?I have found that when

dealing with difficult people I can relate better if I focus on who that person is to Christ; not just to me. The orneriest scoundrel I know, that meanest family member, that unapprecia-tive boss, that nasty co-worker, that gossipy neigh-bor, all have one thing in common. Jesus loves them. In fact He loves them just as much as He loves me. He loves us without reser-vation. How we respond to that love makes all the dif-ference.

Read and re-read the col-lection of texts. I know, applying them is yet another chore. It is, how-ever, not beyond our capac-

ity. If, that is, we make a leap of faith. Sometimes I sing softly to myself a hymn of long-standing appreciation. You know the one. It goes like this: “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so… yes, Jesus loves me, yes Jesus loves me, yes Jesus loves me, for the Bible tells me so.” Now, sing it again, replacing the personal pro-noun “me” with “you.”

I know of no other more beneficial task for the coming week than to tackle the concept of “loving one another.” Christ will be honored and we will be blessed. It may make no dif-

ference at all how that other person relates to us. No matter. You will be found obedient.

“See that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently.” Jesus said: “this is My commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.” (I Pet. 1:22; John 15:12).

Scores of Bible stories about Jesus are referenced in Him going to or from worship. So many folks of late have drifted away from weekly attendance in cor-porate worship. I actually feel we are called to invite back. We just might have to love them back.

One of my favorite wor-ship choruses is “Oh, How He Loves You And Me.” We sing it often as it partners self with others, and the Lord, in worship.

Ready? Willing?

Reflectionsby Rev. John Farmer

Keep this in mind: we do not have to like a person, to love them. Join me and try and realize how Christ loves us and them. Grasp a higher view.

Trinity and St. Mary’s Whi-techapel Episcopal churches on August 10 welcomed the Rt. Rev. Shannon Johnston, Bishop of the Episcopal Dio-cese of Virginia.

The occasion was the annual Episcopal visit by a Bishop to both churches, reported the Rev. Torrence Harman. The

service was held at Trinity with an “Old Fashioned Country Church Picnic” in the Trinity Pavilion following the service in honor of the Bishop and the newly confirmed and received members of each church.

During his visit the Bishop confirmed Whitechapel parish-ioner Bob Woods and Trin-ity parishioner Jane Dunaway and received into the Episco-pal Church Trinity parishio-ner Frances Callaghan.

Trinity and Whitechapel also welcomed as the churches’ new deacon, the Rev. Bernie Schro-

eder, who had been ordained a transitional deacon in the Episcopal Church by Bishop Johnston the weekend before at Grace Episcopal Church, Alex-andria.

“We have gotten to know Bernie well over the past year while he served as an intern for the two churches as he awaited ordination,” said Rev. Harman. “His role with us will now be more formal during the six months he will serve as our deacon until such time as he will be ordained a priest, early next year.”

From the same site on which it began in Weems in Septem-ber 1889, Campbell Memorial Presbyterian Church will cel-ebrate its 125th anniversary with two events: a concert in the sanctuary at 4 p.m. Sep-tember 6, followed by a recep-tion; and a unity service at 10 a.m. September 7, followed by a potluck lunch on the lawn.

Everyone is invited, said Jane Tims.

The Rev. Dr. James K. “Jim” Wilson Jr., pastor of Camp-bell and Wesley Presbyterian Church from 1960 through 1967, will preach at the worship service. A graduate of David-son College, he earned three degrees from Union Theologi-cal Seminary in Richmond, including the Doctor of Divin-ity. Upon leaving Campbell for his next call, Rev. Wilson wrote, “I am more convinced than ever that a congregation makes its minister—slowly, imperceptibly, irresistibly. For the faith I have found among you and for the faith you have helped me find, I give thanks.”

Rev. Wilson subsequently served North Carolina churches as senior pastor in Lexington and Greensboro, interim pastor in Burlington and parish asso-ciate in High Point, said Tims. He and his wife, Eleanor, have retired to Austell, Ga. She and Beth Wilson, his daughter who lived in Weems during his pas-torate, will also attend the anni-versary celebration.

Campbell’s organizing

pastor, and the man for whom the church was named, was William Addison Campbell, a Virginian, former mathemat-ics professor, and organizer of 10 Presbyterian churches, including the Milden church at Sharps. Campbell has had 23 pastors, some for 15 years and some for only a few months,

said Tims. The current pastor is the Rev. Dr. W. Clay Macaulay.

Through oyster roasts and strawberry festivals, the first congregation raised money to build a white frame sanctuary dedicated on Thanksgiving Day, 1892, said Tims. Con-struction began in 1938 on the red brick church that contin-ues as Campbell’s home. An education building, fellowship hall, sanctuary enlargements and manse have expanded the campus through the years.

Campbell actively supports missions locally and world-wide, and has been particu-larly involved in helping other churches begin or improve their structures. From Camp-bell’s core developed a mission church, St. Andrews Presby-terian Church, a thriving con-gregation which recently cel-ebrated its 25th anniversary in Kilmarnock, she said.

■Fairfields UMC will cel-

ebrate its 225th anniversary at 11 a.m. August 31 at the church, 14741 Northumber-land Highway, Burgess.
