Most all gardeners hate the tedious task of picking weeds. Not Tom Neale.

The 13-year-old loved picking weeds with his fellow YMCA summer campers at the Northern Neck Farm Museum garden in Horsehead. In fact, it was just that chore that lured Tom into discovering his now favorite hobby.

Tom’s love of gardening, along with a spot-light on the farm museum, will be featured on the PBS series Virginia Farming. His inter-view will air at 8:30 a.m. Sunday, June 25, on WCVE Channel 23 in Richmond. The entire show can also be viewed at VirginiaFarming.com.

Tom’s interest in farming started years ago when he was about eight years old and he was attending the Northumberland County YMCA summer camp. Campers are taken to the farm museum, where they learn about healthy soil and growing food in the community garden. The food grown there is donated to local food banks.

“Some of the kids just hate it, having to go

out and pick weeds, but he was in heaven,” said Tom’s mother, Dawn Neale. “He loved watch-ing things grow, changing color and flowering before the vegetables appeared.”

When he was about 10, Tom decided he wanted a garden of his own and his mom marked off a plot of land on their two-acre homesite. Each year the garden’s grown a little bigger. This year, Tom is gardening a 16’x21’ spot. He has 15 tomato plants, f ive cucumbers, 25 squash, 30 peppers and two watermelons. He’s grown carrots and eggplants in the past and last year tried his luck with raising sweet corn.

“But the bugs got right in there and ate it,” said Tom, who has learned the importance of protecting his garden from insects, rodents and deer. He’s also learned to plant in rows, “some-thing he didn’t do last year,” said his mom. “And everything just kind of grew together and there were lots of weeds.”

Someone gave Tom a rototiller, which he now uses to help combat the weeds. He also

got a composter for his birthday and made a rain barrel with a neighbor.

He grows most of his plants from seeds he buys on sale in the fall then plants them in a hotbox he buries a few inches in the ground.

The wooden and glass box acts like a tiny green-house. The plants grow during the

winter and early spring months and he sets them out in the garden in mid-May.

Amy Roscher, who hosts Virginia Farming, heard about Tom and his garden and how the farm museum sparked his interest and decided it’d make a great story.

Roscher and the camera crew met Tom onsite at the farm museum for filming in April and he’s been sending her pictures of his blossom-ing home garden.

The Virginia Farming series discusses topics that affect farmers and consumers with in-depth interviews and news regarding agricul-ture-related issues and in May featured the Northern Neck Farm Museum’s Young Farmers Day.

The Reedville Fishermen’s Museum, 504 Main Street, Reedville, recently announced the schedule for public sails on the historic Chesa-peake Bay skipjack Claud W. Somers.

“Come along and help hoist and trim the sails or just enjoy the beauty of the Northern Neck from the deck of this majestic vessel,” said execu-tive director Lee Langston-Harrison.

Public cruises will typically be held from 1 to 3:30 p.m. alternate Satur-days beginning June 17, said Langston-Harrison.

In addition, two sails are planned, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, during the Independence Day festivities in Reedville on July 1. The Claud W. Somers also will be a part of the Antique and Classic Boat Show at the museum on September 9.

Fees are $25 for members, $30 for other adults and $15 for ages 12 and younger. Children weighing less than 50 pounds are not permitted unless coordinated in advance and may be required to provide their own U.S. Coast Guard-approved life preserver, she said.

For reservations, call 453-6529. Walk-ons are accepted up to departure time, space permitting. Proceeds from the trips support the ongoing oper-ation and maintenance of the vessel, said Langston-Harrison.

The Claud W. Somers was built on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in 1911 by Tom Young and worked as an active oyster boat for decades before being donated to the museum in 2000 by the family of Alfred Lambert.

The vessel is listed on the national Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Historic Landmark Register.

Sailing dates are Saturdays, June 17, July 1 (10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.), July 15, July 29, August 12, August 26, September 9 (1:30 to 4 p.m.), September 23, October 14 and October 28.

Dates, times and duration are subject to change and trips are subject to cancellation, due to weather, crew availability or mechanical issues with the vessel.

The fourth annual Veterans Benefit Concert & Veterans Retreat will be held from June 23 through 25 at Yankee Point Sailboat Marina, 1303 Oak Hill Road, Lancaster.

“We hope you can join us to celebrate their service and sacrifice,” said Ken Knull.

The event will again be hosted by Yankee Point Sailboat Marina under the auspices of Fire Fighters Assist-ing Armed Forces Families (FFAAFF), Truckin 4 Troops and Camp4Heroes, he said. The retreat this year will include sailing, fishing, skeet shooting, target shooting, jet skiing and campfires.

Local area sailors and fishermen are providing the boats, equipment and

expertise. The Corrotoman Hunt Club is providing the range and guns.

“This year we have received very generous donations of ammunition, clay pigeons and targets,” said Knull. “Our patriotic local donors include Ace Hard-ware, Arton Glass, John Barber, Bay & River Home Décor, Box Boutique, Fran & Bill Cory, Country Cottage, Crab King, David’s Trading Company, Dunn Rite Auto, Fawcett’s Marine Supply, Ron & Helen Frank, Interlux Paint Co., Land & Sea, Paxton, Petit Paint Co., Rappahannock Hangups, Tater Shed Quilters and The Wild Bunch.”

Everyone is invited to this year’s concert under the spreading oaks at the Poolside Café. Food and drinks will be

available for purchase. Four local bands will play from 5 to 11 p.m. June 24. During the concert, there will be auc-tions, a raffle and guest speakers.

Bands will include Kick Off the Covers, Knot Water, Ottoman, Tangent and Captain Woody aka Elvis.

Profits from the $10 per person entry fee, all food, drinks, raffle, auction items and donations go to the Camp4Heroes this year. The Camp4Heroes is a per-manent retreat on an 80-acre tract of land between Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune, N.C., said Knull. Activities at the Camp4Heroes include raising crops and livestock, archery, skeet shooting, fishing, art and music classes to help the wounded vets transition back into a

peaceful life. The FFAAFF and Truckin 4 Troops

have partnered to build this retreat for wounded veterans, police officers, fire-fighters and their caregivers, he said.

“Our fourth annual Veterans Ben-efit Concert and Veterans Retreat here in Lancaster hopes to raise $15,000 to contribute to their building fund,” said Knull. This worthy cause is one more way Lancaster County can honor our wounded veterans.

“Previously we were able in conjunc-tion with the Independence Fund to collect $15,000 which was used to pur-chase a track chair for a disabled Special Operations veteran,” he said. “Thank you in advance Lancaster.”

July is the month the Animal Welfare League of the North-ern Neck celebrates all things feline with their traditional cat photo contest.

This year’s theme is “Chatty Cats,” said Suzanne Fisher Mattingly. What clever caption best depicts what cats are thinking or saying?

Cat fanciers are also invited to create feline-themed, people-sized hats, said Mattingly. Several examples of decorated hats will be displayed in the side window of the AWL thrift shop in Kilmarnock beginning Monday, June 19.

The public is urged to take a look at these examples because entries can be subtle or over the top, she said. Some hat-mak-ing supplies also will be available for purchase.

One or both contests can be entered with a $4 donation per entry. Multiple photos and hats are encouraged.

Photos should be no larger than 5 x 7 inches to allow for display of all entries. Photos and hats should submitted by July 8 at AWL Thrift Shop, 75 North Main Street, Kilmarnock, Photo entries should include name, cat’s name, the clever cap-tion and a phone number. Hat entries should include name and phone number.

The Tavern Café will offer homemade soups, fresh-baked bread, sandwich kits, quiche and sweet treats. There also will be a food concession stand in front of the Transportation Museum Building, added Becker.

A silent auction, in addition to ticket drawings, is another oppor-tunity to choose wonderful art.

The Rappahannock Art League’s Patrons Gala on June 25 offers a ticketed drawing and a silent auction for acquiring original art-work. Members and patrons have donated 90 pieces of art valued over $100 for the drawing and many pieces for the silent auction, reported RAL member Anne Cotter.

To participate in the drawing, one purchases tickets for $100 and then they are drawn one at a time. The first person whose ticket is drawn can pick their favorite of the 90 pieces, then the second drawn picks theirs and so on, said Cotter.

There are no more tickets sold than there are pieces of art, so everyone with a ticket is guaranteed to go home with a piece of art, she said. If there are remaining pieces, there is a sale of these after the lottery.

“Since everyone’s taste is different, you can often get one of your favorites even if your ticket is drawn later,” said Cotter. “I got a wonderful Jim Hazel watercolor when drawn 65th and a lovely, small Sybil Bayne watercolor in the silent auction.”

The gala will begin at 4 p.m. at the Studio Gallery, 19 North Main Street, Kilmarnock. It opens with a fun reception catered by Gus Shelton of Bluewater Seafood.

The drawing will begin at 5 p.m. and is lively and fast, she said.The donated art is on display at the gallery through the gala and

it is advised that patrons come in earlier and make a list of favor-ites.

Tickets may be purchased at the gallery from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.

Members of the Rappahan-nock Amateur Radio Asso-ciation will participate in the national Amateur Radio Field Day exercise, from 2 p.m. June 24 to 2 p.m. June 25 at the Mid-County Vol-unteer Rescue Squad, 7990 Northumberland Highway, Heathsville.

Five Rivers Fiber Guild (FRFG) members again showed the range of creativity within the organization at the annual UnFin-ished Objects (UFOs) presenta-tion.

After last month’s dyeing workshop, Susan Campagnola tried her hand at using Kool-Aid on wool with eye popping results, reported Nan Harvey Flynn. Carol Sennott showed a king sized butterfly-themed quilt she made which permanently takes her out of the amateur category.

Jane Fortin showed hats she made out of stash that she then donates to the Food Bank Christ-mas tree for their patrons, said Flynn. Phyllis Vail brought in brioche experiments and finished scarf, temari balls and knit shawl.

Judy Mooers generated a mind boggling array of knit and woven objects especially amazing because her studio is currently under construction, continued Flynn. Tanya Bohlke displayed her completed “Quilt Around the World” piece titled “Water for the World” made up of 6-inch by 18-inch blocks composed by international quilters.

A potluck featuring mostly hors d’oeuvres and desserts fin-ished off the season.

Guild members can’t stop being creative with food prepa-ration either, she said. Barbara

Keeler made the venison sausage she brought and backyard flock chicken eggs were the basis for at least a couple of dishes.

President Marianne Hender-son reminded the members of the Montpelier Fall Fiber Fes-tival coming up in October. Entries for the knitting, crochet, spinning, hooking and weaving competitions are due September 22 and entry forms will be avail-able online and at the September meeting.

The September 11 meeting will be a presentation by Nan-nette Smith and Vail of ethnic fabrics from around the world. Anyone with exotic fabrics or beaded work is invited to partici-pate, said Flynn.

to showcase the science and skill of Amateur Radio. This event is open to the public and all are encouraged to attend.

For over 100 years, Ama-teur Radio has allowed people from all walks of life to experiment with electronics and communications tech-niques, as well as provide a free public service to their communities during a disas-ter, all without needing a cell phone or the Internet. Field Day demonstrates ham radio’s

ability to work reliably under any conditions from almost any location and create an independent communications network.

“It’s easy for anyone to pick up a computer or smart-phone, connect to the inter-net and communicate, with no knowledge of how the devices function or connect to each other,” said Sean Kutzko of the American Radio Relay League. “But if there’s an interruption of ser-vice or you’re out of range of a cell tower, you have no way to communicate. Ham radio functions completely independent of the Internet or cell phone infrastructure, can interface with tablets or smartphones and can be set up almost anywhere in min-utes. That’s the beauty of Amateur Radio during a com-munications outage.

“Hams can literally throw a wire in a tree for an antenna, connect it to a battery-pow-

ered transmitter and com-municate halfway around the world,” Kutzko added. “Hams do this by using a layer of Earth’s atmosphere as a sort of mirror for radio waves. In today’s electronic do-it-your-self environment, ham radio remains one of the best ways for people to learn about elec-tronics, physics, meteorology and numerous other scientific disciplines and is a huge asset to any community during disasters if the standard com-munication infrastructure goes down.”

Anyone may become a licensed Amateur Radio oper-ator. There are over 725,000 licensed hams in the U.S. With clubs such as the Rappahan-nock Amateur Radio Associa-tion it’s easy for anybody to get involved right here in Vir-ginia’s Northern Neck. Con-tact Rappahannock Amateur Radio Association president Wes Werling at [email protected], or 580-4552.

The children of W.R. Keyser entertained him with a family gathering June 3 at the Wom-en’s Club in White Stone for his 85th birthday.

His life span has included walking behind his father as he plowed the family garden behind a yoke of oxen, to seeing a man walk on the moon.

He helped build St. Fran-cis deSales Church and hung each chandelier in it. He then attended the first mass held in the new church in 1957, at which time his one-month-old son, Mark, was baptized.

He has been a faithful member since that time, more than 60 years.

His immediate and extended family enjoyed an afternoon together with fellowship, good food and memories.

U.S. Coast Guard Lieutenant Kathryn Mary Cappetta, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gregory H. Cappetta of Stafford and USCG Lieutenant Paul Nasim Williams, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert A. Williams Jr. of San Diego, Calif, held their wedding on May 13, 2017.

The ceremony and reception took place at the bride’s grandparent’s house, Dr. and Mrs. Richard and Alice Slem-ber’s residence, in White Stone, with the Rev. Gary Sand-ers, OSA from San Diego, officiating the ceremony.

For more than a decade, the bride had wanted to have a wedding reception at her grandparent’s house and at last her dream was realized.

The maid of honor was the bride’s sister, Rachel L. Cap-petta and the co-best men were the groom’s brother, Albert A. Williams III and best friend, Nick Wilhite.

The food was provided by The Car Wash Café and Cater-ing. Rappahannock Rentals provided the tent and equip-ment. VA Rides provided a trolley for transportation and Manuel Vega served as the master of ceremonies and DJ.

Both the bride and the groom graduated from the Coast Guard Academy; the groom in 2011 with a bachelor’s in operations research and the bride in 2012 with a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering.

The groom graduated from Naval Flight school in 2013 and is an HC-144 pilot in the U.S. Coast Guard. The bride graduated from the University of Michigan with a double master’s in 2017 with degrees in naval architecture and marine engineering and industrial and operations engineer-ing.

The bride works for the Coast Guard Washington, D.C., Engineering Division and the groom works for the Coast Guard Cape Cod Air Station.

Chesapeake Bay Garden Club recently held its last gen-eral meeting for the year.

Among club business, offi-cers were elected were elected to serve the next two years, reported Karen Luzuriaga. They include president Helen Bell, first vice president Dar-lene Nelson, second vice presi-dent Sandra Ehlert, record-ing secretary Kathie Truxall, assistant recording secretary Patricia Mrzyglad, treasurer, Debbie Boze, assistant trea-surer is Linda Hixon and cor-responding secretary, Dee McMurray.

Nine members entered 54 specimens for horticulture; Barbara Yinger earned Best in Show. Six members entered floral exhibits; Dody Douglas earned Best in Show.

The speaker was Angie Brack, who spoke on the dan-gers of pesticides and other synthetic additives not only in the garden but throughout the environment. Her “back to basics” approach to life encourages people to make the right choices. There are easy alternatives to pesticides and chemicals that are harmful to people and the environment, said Luzuriaga.

Historic Christ Church & Museum recently announced its schedule of summer programs for children.

Hands-On History Day for ages 6-12 will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 6.

Step back in time with this exciting program in colonial Virginia history, reported edu-cation director and curator Robert Teagle. Learn how to make a brick by hand, write with a quill pen and make a grave rubbing. Dig for colonial artifacts, play colonial games and dress in colonial clothing.

In the museum, children can become an “undertaker,” or colonial builder, by construct-ing a brick wall and a brick arch with a keystone, said Teagle.

Participants will enjoy a pizza

The annual Ice Cream Social will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. August 6.

It’s fun for the whole family with colonial games, crafts, his-tory and tasty ice cream treats and lemonade, said Teagle. Children can play games like the hoop and stick, the ball and cup, graces and nine pins. They can learn how to make their own ball and cup or whirligig toys and bead necklaces and bracelets.

In the museum, children can pick up a free Museum Activ-ity Book and go on an artifact hunt, he said. Kids can also try on colonial clothing or excavate a mock archaeological site and they can sign their own copy of the Declaration of Indepen-dence with a quill pen.

The 1735 church, a National Historic Landmark, will be open for tours as well.

Both events are free and will be held at Historic Christ Church & Museum, 420 Christ Church Road, Weems.

Afton United Methodist Church, 5130 Hacks Neck Road, Ophelia, will hold a Community Fun day for all from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on July 4.

There will be drawings for two girls and two boys 24-inch bicycles, reported publicity chairman Carol Hammer. Drawings will be held at 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and winners must be present. There also will be giveaways and prizes for children offered throughout the day.

A hot dog, chips and a drink will be sold for $2.50 and barbecue, chips and a drink for $3. However, ages 12 and younger eat free, said Hammer. Sodas are $0.50.

Activities will include music outdoors and in the sanctuary, she said. The schedule will include 10 to 11 a.m., Cindy Washburn, outdoors; 11 to 11:30 a.m., Suzy Cuthbertson and Bill

Duvall, sanctuary; 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Bobby Rogers, outdoors; and 1 to 2 p.m., Sharon Mann, sanctuary.

Other activities will include a bounce machine, face paint-

ing, horseshoes and corn hole. All activities are free.

The Afton United Meth-odist Women also will hold an indoor yard sale and bake sale, she added.

The members of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church–LCMS, 1717 Hampton Hall Road, Callao, invite the community to join them for a special Christian Citizenship Sunday Independence Day Weekend Worship Ser-vice, at 9 a.m. July 2.

The service will be followed by a Special Reformation Heritage Celebration Bible Class at 10:30 a.m.

“One Nation Under God—A Reformation Heritage” will be the service theme, said chaplain Mike Ramming, who will be guest leader. God has richly blessed America and we enjoy our Christian citizenship partially as a consequence of the Protestant Refor-mation—which 500th Anniversary we are celebrating this year.

“It is most appropriate for American Christians to make time to thank God for all his goodness. Especially during these days

when so many are pressing to factor God out of national life,” he said.

The worship service will include “The Two Bell Ceremony” in celebration of the nation’s birthday and conclude with the “Passing of the Christian Flag Ceremony” in which attendees may participate. Church organist Stacy Vogel of Callao will lead the music.

The Bible class will explore “freedom” and “service” as heritages of the Reforma-tion for all Christians.

These special Sunday events are a part of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church’s year-long celebration of the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, commemorating the posting of Martin Luther’s “95 Theses,” the 31st of October, 1517, in Wittenberg, Germany, which date historians use to mark the start of the Protestant Reformation.

The Kilmarnock United Meth-odist Women (UMW) recently invited the Bethany UMW to a program and luncheon, Hand-bags for The Haven.

It was a blessing to learn about the vital work The Haven is offering to women, children and families in need, and raise money and donate items the women and girls could actually use, said Kilmarnock UMW president Cheri Bennett.

“The ladies got to know each other and learn what they carry in their purse daily they wouldn’t leave home without,” said Ben-nett.

The luncheon was prepared by the Kilmarnock UMW ladies, as well as decorating the

tables with fresh flower arrange-ments in handbags, said Ben-nett. These were so cute they were auctioned off with pro-ceeds for The Haven.

All ladies attending brought new or gently used purses, wrist-lets, eyeglass cases, cell phone holders and tote bags to donate, she said. The ladies of Kilmar-nock UMC solicited local busi-nesses who donated new purses to be auctioned.

A big thank you goes to the businesses that donated to the success of this event, Cathy’s Unique Pursuits, Colonial Collectibles, Foxy, Pearl, Pee-bles, Stylish Eyes, The Box Boutique, The Dandelion, The Shoe Store and Wildest Dreams.

The event was a huge suc-cess, reported Bennett. Over $300 was raised for The Haven and their program coordinator Gabey Allen drove away with her back seat full of handbags.

Becky Guy on June 6 addressed the Kilmarnock United Methodist Women (UMW).

Guy serves on the UMW District team in Fredericks-burg as liaison for Human Trafficking (HT), reported Laura Reeves. She became involved with the HT concern as a public education teacher called upon to teach young girls with high IQ’s who were the victims in the court system.

It was there Guy saw a need to help these young girls, some HT victims, find a new direc-tion and meaningful purpose, said Reeves.

Guy stated that 85% of HT is right here in the U.S. It is also at our back door—from Dulles Airport in Northern Virginia and along the 95 Cor-ridor to Fredericksburg, and is becoming a bigger problem for rural communities.

Irvington Baptist Church held High School Senior Day on Sunday, June 11.

The youth of the church con-ducted the worship service with 2017 Lancaster High School graduates Lindsey Brockle-bank and William Clarke serv-ing as the youth ministers.

Brocklebank will attend Christopher Newport Uni-versity and Clarke will attend Rappahannock Community College.

Youth director Hazel Farmer noted that many former IBC graduates also returned to par-ticipate in the service: Jacob Headley, Le’Aria Kelley, Brenna Lounsbury, Caroline Merryman, Jamerson Robert-son, Luey Robertson and Kelli Tignor. On behalf of the church family, Rev. John Farmer pre-sented each of the 2017 gradu-ates a personalized Bible; and

Travis Tomlinson, treasurer of the Church’s Memorial Foun-dation, presented each a col-lege scholarship.

Following the worship ser-vice, everyone enjoyed a lun-

cheon honoring the graduates hosted by youth committee members Denise Robertson, Amanda Molineaux, Kathy Taft, Phyllis Osborne and Susan Wilmore.

Scholarship Day will be held at 11 a.m. June 25 at Sharon Baptist Church, 1314 Lumber-lost Road, Weems.

The youth will be recognized for their academic, athletic and extra-curricular accomplish-ments. Scholarship recipi-

ents also will be recognized, reported youth worship leader Janiya Cox.

A special dedication solo by DaQuan Boyd also will be a part of the service.

The theme is “A Time to Shine” and “Turning Back

Time.”Memories of Mt. Jean

School will be presented by Geraldine Avery; Morgan E. Norris School by Katie Chewn-ing; Brookvale School by Faith Waddy; A.T. Wright School by Lloyd Hill.

you gave her. She was truly blessed by knowing how much she was loved by all of you.

KILMARNOCK—Tamara Germayne Smith died June 4, 2017.

Tamara was born on April 21, 1964, to James Arthur Smith II from Kilmarnock and Ellen Dorethia Smith from Heathsville.

At an early age she confessed her faith to God at Macedonia Baptist Church, Heathsville.

Tamara, lovingly called Tammy, lived in Kilmarnock and attended school in Heaths-ville. She grew up with many cousins and had fun making memories from the family bar-beques, motorcycle club meets, trips to the pool and cookouts at Bay Quarter Shores.

She adored her younger brother, James, and was often teased that she treated him as though he was her baby. Some years later, she welcomed her sister, Tiffany. In 1999, her nephew Dustin was born. Tammy loved and was very proud of each of them.

She graduated from Nor-thumberland High School in 1982. She attended Essex County College in Newark, N.J. and Columbia Union Col-lege where she received her bachelor’s degree. She earned her master’s degree in orga-nizational management from John Hopkins University in Baltimore, M.D.

Tammy’s work with people motivated her to earn her cer-tification as a Personal Life Coach. Her slogan: “If you want a challenge, try to con-vince someone there’s a better way of doing something.”

Tammy’s employment expe-riences included Howard Uni-versity, Harambee Homes, Inc., BAE Systems and Conquest Administrative Services, Inc. She was a founding member of TLV Travel and Tours, Inc. and the “Among Sisters” Spiritual and Social Club.

Tammy enjoyed traveling, especially cruising. Approxi-mately three years ago, God blessed her with the opportu-nity to travel to Europe; Italy to be exact, with her cousin, Denise.

Family and friends were always close to her heart. Her memory will forever be dear to the hearts of her mother, father, step-mother, brother, sister, aunts, uncles, cousins, god-children and a host of other relatives and friends.

Loved ones who preceded her in death: nephew, Justin Smith; grandparents, William and Verlie Smith and James and Claudine Smith.

A funeral service was held June 10 at Macedonia Baptist Church. Interment followed in the church cemetery.

LANCASTER—I. Edward Trotter Jr., 86, of Lancaster County passed away on June 11, 2017.

He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Mary B. Trot-ter; three children, I.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Isham Edward Trotter Sr. and Louise Harper Trotter; and his sister, Jane Harper Trotter.

Ed grew up in Urbanna and graduated from Christchurch School in 1949. He graduated from Virginia Tech and, after service in the U.S. Army, he moved to Lynchburg. In 1991, he retired as senior partner at Coopers & Lybrand and moved with Mary full time to Trobrador, their home on the Eastern Branch of the Corro-toman River.

Ed was active in public service throughout his life, most notably through Camp-bell Memorial Church and

Christchurch School where he served on the board of gover-nors including many years as chairman. He also served as trustee and president of the Christchurch School Founda-tion.

Funeral services will be held 11 a.m. Monday, June 19, 2017, at Campbell Memorial Presbyterian Church, Weems. Interment will be 2:30 p.m. at Middlesex Memorial Cem-etery, Urbanna. Family will receive friends from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, June 18, at Currie Funeral Home, Kilmarnock.

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

This is such a wonder-ful place to live! I feel

truly blessed to be here, to be among you weekly and to be loved by so many great friends.

Often, I have mentioned how my demeanor changes when homeward-bound I turn left at the Harmony Grove Baptist Church. Once the wheel has straightened a determination takes over. Duty propels me to the southern end of the end-lessly repairing Robert O. Norris Bridge. At first glimpse of “my” river I will audibly exclaim, “I’m back Mr. River (i.e., “Old Man River”). Did you miss me?” There was a time when I was not so bold as to say it aloud. However, the gran-deur of this place and the love of these won-derful people pulls it from me, no longer timid with such an exclamation. These days even grandson Porter joins in to greet Mr. River.

I love the bloom of this place, the smells that invite. The fragrance of roses, lilies and yes, even the musty dank aroma of a salt-water marsh delight. Please take a bit of time this week and reacquaint yourself with our garden of God.

A brisk walk through Holy Script reminds me that the word bloom appears several times, lily (and/or lilies) more frequently. In fact, some of the Psalms (45, 69 & 80) translate “as accord-ing to the Lilies.”

The word flowers appears in scripture often. Almost always, it refers to the poten-tial of a harvest to follow. Flowers are even touted as nourishing (in the Apoc-ryphal text 2 Esdras 9:24-12:51, texts that many evan-gelicals, some Protestants avoid).

Holy men and women of old that remembered our paths to the Holy Land noted

the word “green” scores of times. At each reference, it is so lush as to call one forth, to stop in amazement, or its very removal, a harbin-ger of failures to obey God who would then withhold such a blessing. High among our memory reverberates the words “He makes me lie down in green pastures.” Even at times of our worst droughts we live in a ver-dant garden of magnificent proportions. The Psalm-ist would have fainted with glee at the very thought of a world so fertile as ours, here.

Returning to the Gospels for a few resources we find in both Matthew (6:28) and Luke (12:27) rest this fabu-lous admonition of God. When disciples and follow-ers alike press Jesus for this and that. When concerns of the human heart turn to self-

preservation, to personal privilege, Jesus counters. Our savior said, “Consider the lilies; they neither toil nor spin…. Yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.”

Life, over these past few months, has been so busy for me that I perhaps have failed to inventory just how beautiful is our homeland. My calendar has slackened. I find my eyes less star-filled, though my heart bursts with pride at all God has done for me lately. Here I am living in so wondrous a place, where God has given me such a precious family. I am grate-ful. Wow! “God is so good, he’s so good to me…”

Along the margins of multiple fields bloom blue cornflowers (bachelor but-tons). Many a cornfield, many a bean patch, holds arrangements of morning

glories. These precious little vines decorate our morn-ings with such beauty. Along outhouse, tool house paths, fencerows and gardens alike, lilies bud. The prom-ise of bloom is but hours away. I can’t wait. Though wait I must. God often holds secure for us things that we know to be beautiful. He holds them tender until we need them the most. Our very best blessings he has promised to withhold until we are through with this special place and gathered home with him.

As beautiful is our world, as fragrant are our fields, as fertile are our gardens, God holds up a mantle of beauty as more important still. From the Garden of Eden, through the lilies of the fields, he enjoys his creation. I have this scene branded into my

consciousness of God resting from his creation and counting the bless-ings his hands have wrought. I see him patting the fawns that nibble on the early dew-covered

tips. I hear his chuckle as he counts the groundhogs wad-dling her and there. I feel the power of his hand pushing the tides to and fro.

In the midst of all God has created I hear him loud and clear saying of us, you and me, “I like them the best.”

Breathe deep. Find your most beautiful mental image. Locate your most appreciative memory col-lectible. Find your window grand. Place above it those same words. Look into the mirror. Glance at pictures of friends and loved ones gone. Hold the hand of some significant other creation of God. Languish in how very much God loves us. Share that love this week. It will beautify your soul.

Reflectionsby Rev. John Farmer

In the midst of all God has cre-ated I hear him loud and clear saying of us, you and me, “I like them the best.”

The Youth Group of Corrotto-man Baptist Church celebrated a great year of growing together in Christ during their annual Youth Sunday on June 11.

These amazing young people led the worship service which was followed by a luncheon hon-oring the youth, reported Denise Cromer. Seniors who were rec-ognized for their achievements at Lancaster High School and in the community are Bailey Elbourn, Wyatt Kemp and Wyatt McCranie.

Kemp is the recipient of the Peggy Harding Memorial Scholar-ship. He will attend Virginia Tech.

The Corrottoman Youth Group is preparing for a summer mission trip to “XFuge” in Charleston, S.C.

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe recently announced new, tiered evacuation zones for coastal Virginia to enhance current evacua-tion plans, boost public safety and improve travel efficiency in the event of hurricanes or other disasters.

“This new evacuation plan represents a significant step toward ensuring the safety of the Commonwealth’s residents and visitors,” said Gov. McAuliffe. “The new data-driven plan will streamline the evacuation process by providing accurate and useful information to citizens based on their street addresses. And, because it will be vitally important for people to be aware of the new system, we’re launch-ing a public information campaign called Know Your Zone.”

Know Your Zone will serve about 1.25 mil-lion people who live in coastal Virginia, the region of the state most vulnerable to hurri-canes and other storms. Some 23 localities are participating in the program.

Hurricanes cause high winds, tornadoes and landslides, but their deadliest hazard is flooding. Tropical storms and depressions can be just as dangerous. Over the past several decades, hurricanes have repeatedly battered eastern Virginia, killing dozens of people and causing billions of dollars in damage.

Different hurricanes can bring vastly differ-ent impacts, depending on tides, storm inten-sity, path and other meteorological factors.

The tiered evacuation zones were developed in cooperation with local emergency manag-ers throughout Hampton Roads, the Northern Neck, the Middle Peninsula and the Eastern Shore.

The zones are designated A through D and will provide residents with a better under-standing of whether they should evacuate in an emergency or shelter at home, based on their street address and the nature of the emergency event.

Avoiding unnecessary evacuation travel will reduce traffic congestion, promote high-way safety and lessen overcrowding at storm shelters. The new zones enhance the current evacuation plans and routes already desig-nated in coastal Virginia.

When a serious storm is expected to impact Virginia’s coastal region, state and local emergency managers will work with news media outlets that will broadcast and publish evacuation directives to the public.

“Virginians are safer when they are pre-pared for emergencies,” said Brian Moran, Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security. “Know Your Zone is an important new tool to empower people to make good decisions based on the latest and best sci-entific and technical information. The Com-

monwealth is always working to improve emergency response plans, so educational and operational enhancements will continue throughout hurricane season and into future years.”

The new evacuation zones can be viewed at knowyourzoneVA.org. The website displays a detailed, interactive, color-coded map show-ing the new evacuation zones. People can use the new map to view a “big picture” of the region or zoom in to their neighborhood. Users can enter their address in a search bar to see their designated evacuation zone.

“It is vitally important that residents of coastal Virginia be aware of the new zones and – in particular – the zone in which they live,” said Dr. Jeff Stern, state coordinator of the Virginia Department of Emergency Man-agement. “Right now, before the storm season gets under way, we’re urging people to Know Your Zone. Go online to the interactive web page to learn if you live or work in one of the new evacuation zones and keep the informa-tion handy to use in times of emergency.”

People without internet access are urged to contact their local emergency managers or call 2-1-1. Local officials and emergency management professionals throughout the region have been actively involved in the new evacuation planning and can assist citizens in identifying their new evacuation zones.

“Even if you don’t live in one of the desig-nated evacuation zones, if there’s a storm or other threat in the region, it’s imperative that you pay attention and respond to instructions given by state and local emergency agencies,” added Stern. “Doing so may save your life or the lives of your loved ones.”

It’s also important to remember that mobile homes are particularly vulnerable to storms with high winds, including hurricanes. Resi-dents of mobile homes in the path of serious storms will be advised to evacuate even if they are not located in one of the new storm evacuation zones.

The new evacuation zones were developed in coordination with local emergency manag-ers by Atkins, a global engineering firm with deep experience designing hurricane evacu-ation plans for major metropolitan areas. Atkins North America is based in Tallahas-see, Fa.

Know Your Zone will serve residents in the cities of Chesapeake, Hampton, New-port News, Norfolk, Poquoson, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Virginia Beach; counties of Accomack, Essex, Gloucester, Isle of Wight, James City, Lancaster, Mathews, Middlesex, Northampton, Northumberland, Richmond County, Surry, Westmoreland, York and the town of Chincoteague.

More than 1,100 visitors viewed the Lost Films of the Northern Neck exhibit from the James Wharton Films collection in May at the Rappahannock Art League Studio Gallery, 19 North Main Street, Kilmarnock.

The goal was to share the Wharton films with community members so they could help iden-tify Northern Neck people and places from the 1920s and 1930s, said RAL exhibit coordinator Mary Ellis.

In collaboration with the Wharton Films Project group, this exhibit also was designed to attract members of the community who other-wise would not normally visit RAL, she said. The community responded by showing up in large numbers throughout the month to view the films and recognize family members/places from so long ago.

In 2017, RAL began to implement its new Strategic Plan, embarking on a transition to become a community-focused art center con-tributing to the area’s cultural vitality and expe-riences, said president Barry Beswick.

Part of this new community focus is develop-ing exhibits and programs that would encourage greater community involvement in the arts. The Lost Films of the Northern Neck was the first exhibit with this new community focus and the results far exceeded expectations, added Bes-wick.

Next up for RAL’s community-interest exhib-its is “All About Our Watermen” in August 2017. In conjunction with the Virginia Water-men’s Association, RAL will exhibit photos and art capturing the spirit of this important contrib-utor to the area’s economy and historic heritage.
