The Festival Chorale will present its eighth annual Independence Day concert at 3 p.m.
Sunday, July 5, at Festival Halle, 177 Main Street, Reedville. The concert will round out the holiday observance of the Greater Reedville Association.
Members of Post 117 of the American Legion will present the colors to open the concert, reported Marianne Miller. Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty will be portrayed by Gary and Marianne Weeter.
Under the direction of Sharon Freude, and accompanied by Carina Harrison, the chorus will perform a variety of music comprising a “Salute to America” with patriotic songs honoring all branches of the armed forces. The 35-member chorus also will perform old favorites, new selec-tions and sentimental oldies, said Miller.
On “Stars and Stripes Forever,” the chorus will be accompanied by Jessica Guy-Haynie on piccolo.“On Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy, “ the chorus will be accompanied by Ed Tillet on trum-pet, she said. The Children’s Choir will perform “Lobster Quadrille” based on an excerpt from Alice in Wonderland.
Other loved numbers will include “Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor,” “This is My Country” and “Ain’t Misbehavin,” with David Hershiser playing clari-net. A new piece, “Light of a Clear Blue Morning,” features Cheryl Davis, soloist, added Miller. The audience will be invited to sing along.
Donations to the Festival Halle renovation fund and/or the local food bank will be appreciated. A reception will follow the concert.
Some 72 names have been collected to be placed on a memorial for men-haden fishermen. Sponsored by the Kilmarnock Museum, the Reedville Fishermen’s Museum and Omega Protein, the obelisk-style monument will be erected in the front yard of the Reedville Fishermen’s Museum, 504 Main Street, Reedville.
The memorial will be made of black granite and will be 7 feet tall, said Kilmarnock Museum president Carroll Lee Ashburn.
The following names will be on the memorial: Joe Bayse, Burnice Brom-ley, William E. Bussells Jr., Luculies V. Blackwell, Adolphos Beale, Ralph Biddlecomb, Bennie Brown, George W. Curry, Samuel Coleman, Russell “Rusty” Cundiff, James Campbell, Leveritt J. Conklin, Alonzo Curry and Hubbard Carter.

Plans are to dedicate the monument during the 2016 Blessing of the Fleet.
Kilmarnock Volunteer Fire Department fundraising chairman Tom Jones last week announced the KVFD will host an “under the stars” event from 6 to 9 p.m. July 25 at the KVFD Carnival Grounds, 200
Waverly Avenue, Kilmarnock.The concert will feature Slapna-
tion, known for Motown, beach music and disco and Jones urges folks to “put on their dancing shoes.”
The fee is $10 per person and patrons must be ages 21 or older.
Hot dogs, hamburgers, soft drinks and adult beverages will be avail-able for purchase. Proceeds will benefit the KVFD.
Reedville and a large core of volun-teers are putting the final touches on what promises to be another big and fun celebration on July 4.
There is a full slate of activities planned for the weekend, said Reed-ville Fishermen’s Museum director Shawn Hall. Everything kicks off with the Firecracker 5K run at 8 a.m. July 4. Registration forms are avail-able at the office or at Festival Halle from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 3. Regis-tration on July 4 runs from 6:45 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. The Artist’s Arena Craft Fair and Vendors will open at 10 a.m. at the Bethany Church campus.
All of the kids’ events start at the museum at 10:30 a.m., including old-fashioned games, sack races, build a boat and a pie-eating contest. Events will continue until around 1:30 p.m.
The big parade will start at 3 p.m. The parade heads down one side of Main Street and then doubles back on the other side, said Hall. Its like seeing the parade twice.
The grand marshal will be Brandon Haynie, a longtime member of the Fairfields Volunteer Fire Department.
The weekend will wind up on Sunday with the Reedville Festival Chorale hosting a Patriotic Music Per-formance at 3 p.m. at Festival Halle. All guests are invited to join in sing-ing special songs to celebrate the birth of the country.
Fireworks, visible over Cockrells Creek, will start shortly after dark on Sunday.
The DIY Network television series premiere of American Rehab: Virginia will begin at 11 p.m. Wednesday, July 8, with two back-to-back episodes immediately following Rehab Addict.
Historic Mount Airy near Warsaw has been in the Tayloe family for eight generations and some of its rooms haven’t been touched since it was built more than 250 years ago.
Current owner John Tayloe Emery and his wife, Catherine, are tackling a full restoration of the Virginia estate while preserving its beauty and history, he reported.
Tune in Wednesday, July 8, to follow their incredible home renovation, said Emery.
American Rehab: Virginia was filmed entirely in Warsaw in 2014-15 by Magnetic Productions, a Los Angeles-based television production company focused on creative programming.
The first installment in the series is Episode 1: Curved Kitchen. The program description notes, Mount Airy was passed down to the Emerys,
who are fixing it up so they can one day pass it on to their children and grand-children. They are starting with the kitchen, which has an unusual narrow curved design. Its layout is impractical and its style is outdated, so they enlist the family to help make it a modern kitchen with a vintage feel.
The series will air on Directv channel #230/ Dish #111/ Verizon Fios #167 and on local cable outlets.
Amateur radio operators in the Northern Neck will participate in an emergency communications drill from 2 p.m. Saturday, June 27, to 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 28, to practice and dem-onstrate their emergency communica-tions skills.
The public is invited to visit the demonstration of the “National Field Day” operation by the Rappahannock Amateur Radio Association at the Mid-County Volunteer Rescue Squad, 7990 Northumberland Highway, Heathsville.
The annual exercise will involve thousands of amateur radio stations across the North American continent, reported publicity director Carl Wig-ginton.
Each station will contact as many other stations as possible in a 24-hour period during the weekend, he explained. The exercise is conducted to hone the skills and test the equipment radio hams would use in the event of an emergency compromising normal communications modes or disabling the communications infrastructure.
The event is sponsored by the Amer-ican Radio Relay League. Throughout the North American continent, opera-tors will set up radio stations in unusual locations and make contact with others as a display of their emergency com-munications capabilities.
Each station entering the contest will receive a score and winners will be recognized.

The annual meeting of the Northumberland County Historical Society will be held at 10 a.m. July 11, at the Ball Memorial Library and Museum, 86 Back Street, Heathsville. Members and the public are welcome.
As the 150th commemoration of the end of the Civil War draws to a close, the society will offer two speakers, reported volunteer Margaret For-rester.
In the morning session, Lynn Ruehlmann will present “The Story of Elizabeth Van Lew, a South-ern Lady but a Union Spy.” In the afternoon, Dr. James I. Robertson Jr. will present “Civil War: Appomattox, The End or the Beginning?”
Ruehlmann has been a professional story-teller since 1990 after an acting career. She has performed throughout the U.S. for a vari-ety of schools and adult organizations. For her work with Young Audiences of Virginia,
she was named Artist of the Year.She is appearing at the annual meeting, in part,
through a grant from the Virginia Commission for the Arts.
Dr. Robertson, professor emeritus at Virginia Tech, taught upper level history classes for 44 years at that university. He has authored or edited more than 25 books, including the much acclaimed biography of Stonewall Jackson.
Dr. Robertson served on the Civil War Bicen-tennial Commission in the 1960s for presidents Kennedy and Johnson, and has received every major award in his field.
A buffet lunch will be available at 12:30 p.m. at the St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church parish house. Buffet reservations will be accepted through July 8; call Virginia Burgess at the society, 580-8581, from 9 a.m. to 4 p. m., Wednesdays through Fri-days.
Trumpet Vine (Campsis radicans) is a native deciduous vine common in the Northern Neck. The bright-orange trum-pet-shaped flowers appear on new growth with the arrival of summer warmth and flowering may continue until fall.
After flowering, large seed pods develop which allow the vine to self-sow. A vigorous grower, it can reach thirty or more feet in length if it has support.
Use in the garden requires careful pruning to keep trumpet vine in check. It is best planted on a trellis or arbor in full sun but will tolerate partial shade.
Even though it may be some-what difficult to use in the garden, trumpet vine is one of the most important plants for humming-
The Northern Neck Chantey Singers have completed their spring schedule. This year, the group has been to The James-town Festival in February; Arts in the Middle Festival in Urbanna in May; the 36th annual Sea Music Festival in Mystic Seaport, Conn., in June and the recent Association of Living History, Farms, and Agricultural Museums at The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg.
The group specializes in the work songs used in the men-haden fishing industry. “The chanteys rhythmically coordi-nate the efforts of hauling in
the net to bring fish to the sur-face so they can be dipped to the holds of the mother ship,” said secretary Lloyd Hill. “The harmony brings everyone together so we can all pull at the same time.”
In the late 1950s, the intro-duction of the hydraulic power block hoisting menhaden fish-ing net made the work easier, but also signaled the demise of the tradition of chantey sing-ing. The songs were ignored for 30 years until interest by folklorists led to their redis-covery as a valuable part of maritime and musical history, explained Hill. The Northern
Neck Chantey Singers have helped to preserve a part of the region’s maritime history.
William Hudnall organized the Northern Neck Chantey Singers in 1991 at the request of the Greater Reedville Asso-ciation for a special program on July 4. Since that time, they have appeared on radio, televi-sion and festivals to share their knowledge, experience and art form, he said.
Many singers have come and gone. The current group includes manager Dr. Elton Smith, treasurer Christopher Harvey, James Carter, Lewis Blackwell and Hill.

He was a grandfather to my grandchildren letting the girls know he would always be there to make sure they were safe. He was there for the boys to share his knowledge of hunting & fishing and the safe use of weapons and encouraging them to set and achieve goals that he had never set for himself.
He was a friend & companion and I knew the first time I saw him that he would always have my heart and that someday we would share a life together. Although it was short lived, I will always have beau-tiful memories of the love we shared.
All my friends & family will miss our Hank.He was loved and will be missed by all of us.
We will always love you and miss you forever.

KILMARNOCK—Helen Joyce Drewry Raine, 89, of Kilmarnock, a loving daugh-ter, wife and mother until the end, peacefully died at home of natural causes on June 14, 2015.
Joyce was born in Clifton Forge on November 8, 1925, to Carl Clinton Drewry and Helen Swoope Drewry. The family moved to Beckley, W.Va., where Joyce gradu-ated from Beckley High School before enrolling in Mary Washington College, then the women’s college of the University of Virginia.
One magical day in the summer of 1945, Joyce boarded an RF&P train in Fredericksburg, heading north to visit friends. And there he was, David Raine, a handsome first lieuten-ant in the Eighth Air Force, returning home to Baltimore. He offered her his seat, she gave him her heart. Several weeks later they married, and remained inseparable in love for the 66 years of their life together.
Joyce and David were long-time members of St. Michael’s Episcopal Church in Bon Air. More recently, they joined Wicomico Parish Church and became mem-bers of Indian Creek Yacht and Country Club in Kilmar-nock.

Warren; and a great-grand-son, Gabriel; and his beloved kitties, Missy and Sissy.
Mr. Walker retired to White Stone in 1995 from Mead Westvaco as an administra-tive manager of Covington and Laurel Research Center in Maryland. He was a graduate of John Marshall High School Cadet Corp and the University of Richmond and served four years in the U.S. Navy.
Charles was an avid sailor and loved fishing with friends at his pier on the Rappahan-nock, and meeting at his social bench having his “Bud Light.” He and Millie sailed “Puff ” all over the bay and waterway and his biggest accomplish-ment was sailing to Bermuda with his buddies. Charles
and Millie lived a true “Love Story,” a love that was deeper than the ocean and higher than the sky. A love that will never end until the stars all fade away and I will always love you until my dying day.
A memorial service and celebration of life will be held at 1 p.m. Monday, June 29, 2015, at Currie Funeral Home, Kilmarnock, with a family visitation following the service.
The family would like to send a special thanks to their very close friends, especially at Rivers Landing and to Chris Collins, FNP, for her loving support during Charlie’s ill-ness.

The Women of Grace Episcopal Church pre-
sented five Christian Living Awards during an annual picnic June 1 at the home of Carol Sennott.
For 27 consecutive years, the Grace Episcopal Chris-tian Living Award Commit-tee has sought to identify girls in the Lancaster High School graduating class who best exemplify the principles of Christian living in their daily lives by maintaining high moral standards, help-ing others, having a friendly and loving disposition, and setting a good example for others to follow, said Mary Elsesser. This year’s awards were given to Rodesha Veney, Emilee Whay, L’Aria Kelley, Amaya Henderson and Daisia Nay Ball.
The Lancaster High School guidance depart-ment’s Barbara Smith worked closely with the committee, soliciting recom-mendations from teachers, gathering resumes from the girls and arranging personal interviews. The high caliber of the qualifying girls made the selection very challeng-ing for committee members Ginger Klapp, Marty Wilson and chairman Barbara Wheeler.
Veney will attend Rap-pahannock Community Col-lege and plans to transfer to
Old Dominion University for a three-year doctorate in physical therapy.
Whay will attend Richard Bland College to pursue child psychology, with a focus on helping children with special needs.
Kelley will attend James Madison University and has already obtained credits to enter as a sophomore. She will study nursing and wishes to work with infants.
Henderson has already completed the nurse aid pro-gram at Warsaw Technical Center. She wants to study psychology and minor in criminal justice.
Ball has completed the nurse aid program at Rap-pahannock Community College. She aspires to be a registered nurse.
All the award winners participated in varsity sports and were very active in school clubs. They have several years of work experi-ence, and many have exten-sive mission experiences for their churches.
The Women of Grace are grateful to be able to make a humble contribu-tion to the future successes of these fine young women, said Elesser. Hearts and prayers will follow them as they aspire to achieve their dreams and make their goals realities.

RAPPAHANNOCK RECORD
Rev. John Farmer has been the pastor at Irvington Baptist Church since 1986.
Jesus, marching toward maturity, had a dangerous
encounter with the Devil. See, Jesus was just like you and me—only better. Old Satan took our Lord by the hand and tried to take him by storm. He flirted and flattered and led the Lord to a tower high. My, don’t we love to be coddled? From that high prec-ipice, Satan offered treasures beyond human comprehen-sion. In his power to do evil, Satan overlooked a major hurdle. Jesus already had the power, and the resources and the riches Satan’s devil-ish finger pointed toward. He need not do a bungee jump to prove any-thing.
Along the Little Pigeon River, at Christus Gardens, Gatlinburg, Tenn., the scene is depicted in wax, a creation of Madame Tussauds. Wow, Satan is the most handsome guy you’d ever want to see, with his arm stretched long and lean. As your eye moves from his beautiful face and superior torso, the hand becomes with-ered, the finger so gnarled that it scares you. The scene turns from beautiful to ugly in a heartbeat—sounds like real life, doesn’t it?
Jesus had a friend on his heart and on his mind. John, who had baptized our Lord, was in prison. It was a bad place for a preacher’s kid to be. It was a bad place for the cousin of Jesus (from his mom’s side of the family). Jesus already knew that John would lose his head over his religion.
Jesus walked (often) from Nazareth to Capernaum, on the coastline of the Sea of Galilee. Galilee is a heart-shaped fresh water lake also known as Sea of Tiberias, Lake Gennesaret, and Sea of Chinnereth. It is thirteen miles long (north-to-south) and eight miles wide at mid-section. It is 680 feet below sea level. Along the
west side, over toward Tibe-rias, one found warm sulfur springs—spa country. Herod actually built a summer home there.
Once when ‘rounding the shore, Jesus saw brothers Simon Peter and Andrew. They were casting their net into the sea. Best I can tell they didn’t even pause to draw their nets. He pressed them into service sure enough with a simple “follow me.” They did.
Further along he encoun-tered Mr. Zebedee and his sons James and John. The three men were mending nets, preparing for a day’s catch. Jesus called out to
them. They dropped their nets, abandoned their dad and set foot ashore to follow the Man from Nazareth. Mind you they knew that he had been raised in a carpenter’s house.
The ministry of Jesus matured sure enough, shore side. The fishermen heard the message being proclaimed abroad, “Repent, the King-dom of Heaven is at hand.” ‘Tis a message no truer then than now—take heed.
After the mock trial, cru-cifixion and burial of Jesus, after Mary ran and told the brave men (hiding from the church and the law) that Jesus was gone, Simon looked for comfort.
Simon Peter was in the company of Thomas, Nathan-iel, James and John Zebedee, and two others. Back from the empty tomb, Peter said: “I’m going fishing.” They all decided that it seemed like a good idea. Down to the Sea they went. The day wore on. The sun reigned hot. The nets caught nothing but water. Until, that is, Jesus spotted them on the far wave horizon. He was looking for them.
They thought him dead.The Master inquired of
their success. Doesn’t that just amuse you, as if He didn’t know that they’d had a bad day fishing? He pressed the question: “Say, what did you guys catch?” They answered: “Guess we should have been here yesterday.” (Sound familiar?)
Jesus instructed them to put their nets out on the other side. A harvest resulted. In fact they caught a net-full of every known fish in the sea. John recognized Jesus’ voice. He was thrilled to hear the voice of His Savior again.
Peter was astonished. He was amazed at the catch.
So much so, as a matter of fact, that he jumped out of the boat and started walking ashore. His feet never dipped beneath the ripples. He had Jesus in sight
and was moving on. When he took his eyes off Jesus he slipped and had to swim ashore. How often we floun-der because we, perhaps to avoid eye contact, look away.
Peter left the others to haul the nets ashore. Eventually all were high and dry. The fish were grilling over the fire. For the third time since His crucifixion Jesus was mustered with those He’d called to service.
The fireside dinner wasn’t so much about fishing as about being fed. Jesus wanted a commitment from them. He pressed the point and brash Peter took the challenge.
Jesus refocused the con-versation toward the needs of others. If you, if I, if our partners in faith have empty nets, maybe we need to switch sides of the boat. You know, most of the time when we are in the wrong place, we know it. We don’t have to stay there.
Reflectionsby Rev. John Farmer
If you, if I, if our partners in faith have empty nets, maybe we need to switch sides of the boat.
On June 21, the scholarship committee of the Catholic churches of St. Francis de
Sales, Kilmarnock, and St. Paul’s, Hague, announced the awards of 13 college scholar-ships.
Parishioners donated $33,880, a new record amount for this program, surpassing last year’s record-level donations, reported committee chairman R. Paul Carey. Over the history of this ministry, a total of 119 scholar-ship awards have been presented.
“The ever-increasing burdens of cost and
debt associated with college education have been answered by uncommon grace, as our parishioners have so generously supported our appeal on behalf of these talented young people and their parents,” said Carey.
St. Francis de Sales recipients include Leo Barber, Ame McGrath, Bianca Wohleking, Maddie Simpson, Moira Hull, Henry Hull and Lexy Simpson.
St. Paul’s recipents include Eamonn Col-lins, Laura Mangano, Tomas Ramirez, Yahaira Reyes, Cecilia Shryrock and Megan Smith.
Interfaith Service Council recently honored David Lacy and the Southside Church of the Nazarene in Chesterfield for over 20 years of a shared mission outreach that provides major house repairs for home-owners in need in the Lan-caster/Northumberland area.
Interfaith board members and community support-ers shared a luncheon at the Kilmarnock Inn with Lacy and other mission volunteers from the Church of the Naza-rene, said Interfaith volunteer Stockton Bates.
Lacy and his former Naza-rene pastor, Jerome Hancock, began this effort in 1995 after looking for a program that would serve those in need,
while also providing a means for the youth of the church to give back to the commu-nity and to “grow spiritually,” according to Lacy.
Every June, over 100 church youth, ages 12-14, adult vol-unteers and older teen coun-selors, arrive in their buses at the Boys and Girls Camp of the Northern Neck in Kilmar-nock to begin a week’s worth of work painting and re-roofing houses, Bates said. With mate-rials provided by Interfaith, the group usually re-roofs six or more houses and exterior paints about the same number.
Lacy was presented a plaque for the tremendous effort he has put into this program since its inception. Testimonials
were shared by many during the luncheon.
New mission leaders, John Keane and Jay Morgan were introduced, and plans and dates for this year’s mission were discussed. Lacy still plans to be involved and attend. Inter-faith’s Joe Curry will continue to coordinate Interfaith’s Con-cerned Citizens effort with the church mission, he said.
Interfaith and the greater Northumberland/Lancaster communities salute David Lacy, John Keane and Jay Morgan, and all of the volunteers from Chesterfield who have made this mission such a successful endeavor in so many ways, for so many people for more than 20 years, added Bates.
In the aftermath of the shoot-ing deaths last week of nine persons gathered for Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., the Lancaster County Ministerial Association (LCMA) has responded in two ways.
The clergy signed and sent a letter expressing love and sup-port to the pastors and con-gregation of Emanuel AME Church, reported vice president the Rev. Judy Thomson, associ-ate pastor of St. Andrews Pres-byterian Church, Kilmarnock.
“We are holding you in our hearts and in our prayers at our various churches, even as we pray in general for violence and hatred to end,” the letter states. “Our churches are large and small, established and new, black and white, from many denominations, but in this we stand with you: We are all part of the body of Christ.”
The association also has organized a Prayer Service at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 28, at Cal-
vary Baptist Church, 490 East Church Street, Kilmarnock.
The theme of the prayer service is “Standing Together in Solidarity for the Human Race,” said Rev. Thompson.
The purpose of the service is to affirm trust in God, to offer a Christian witness to the human-ity we share as God’s children, and to pray for peace and har-mony. It will be simple, com-prised of prayers, hymns and reflections, she said.
Some of the prayer topics include: the Emanuel AME congregation, peace, non-vio-lence, the local community and the nation. Various clergy will participate in the service by leading prayers or reflections.
Everyone in the community is invited to the prayer service.
Other officers of the Lan-caster County Ministerial Asso-ciation are president, the Rev. Rowena Davenport, retired pastor, Mt. Vernon Baptist Church, White Stone; secre-tary, the Rev. Genita Maiden-Shearin, associate minister, Shachach World Ministries, Kilmarnock; and treasurer, the Rev. Tom Coye, pastor, St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, Kilmarnock.
