Thrills, shows and more

Griffon photo by LouAnne M. Sexton

Have you ever been to Historic Jamestowne? It’s agreat place to explore. It is located just beyondJamestown Settlement and is the original site of theJamestown colony.

Jamestowne Island is a great place to walk, bird-watch and experience a glimpse into history.

Archaeologists with Jamestown Rediscovery areexcavating the recently discovered site of the 1607James Fort.

You can walk among the ruins of many originalbuildings that stood in the town, including the origi-nal 17th-century church tower. The JamestownMemorial Church was built in 1907.

The church was a gift to the APVA from theNational Society of Colonial Dames of America. Thechurch is behind the tower which is the only surviv-ing 17th century structure at Jamestown. Walk a bit

and you will be on the James River banks, adding thepicturesque quality of the site.

The Jamestown Glasshouse produces handcraftedpieces by master glass blowers, only a few yards fromwhere colonists made glass in 1608. Costumed glassblowers demonstrate their craft and answer ques-tions.

The Historic Triangle Shuttle, a free public trans-portation system connecting Jamestown,Williamsburg and Yorktown, begins operation March22.

The shuttle leaves every 30 minutes from theColonial Williamsburg Visitor Center to Jamestown.Once arriving at Jamestown, additional shuttle serv-ices provide transportation between HistoricJamestowne, the Glasshouse and JamestownSettlement.

If you have ever visited the Wren Courtyard at theCollege of William & Mary, you have likely met him.

The statue of Norborne Berkeley, Baron deBotetourt, holds watch over the College Yard in frontof the Sir Christopher Wren Building.

Ever wonder about the statue’s history? Accordingto information from the College of William & Maryabout the statue, Botetourt was the popular royalgovernor of Virginia 1768-1770. He was a friend andpatron of W&M during his tenure.

He served as rector of the Board of Visitors andestablished a fund for the purchase of gold medals tobe awarded annually to two students for academicexcellence.

When Lord Botetourt died in 1770, he was hon-ored with an elaborate funeral and buried in thecrypt under the chapel of the Wren Building.

commissioned “an elegantStatue... in Marble” as a sign of itsesteem.

The statue was created byEnglish sculptor RichardHayward. It arrived inWilliamsburg in 1773 and wasinstalled on the piazza of theCapitol.

After the capital of the colonywas moved to Richmond in1780, the statue was vandalizedand fell into disrepair.

Botetourt was still regardedwith such affection at the college,that the faculty purchased thestatue, and in 1801 it wasinstalled in the College Yard. Thestatue remained there for the nextcentury and a half, with theexception of several years duringand after the Civil War when itwas relocated to the grounds ofthe Public Hospital for safekeep-ing.

In 1958, to protect the statuefrom more vandalism and weath-ering, it was removed to storage.In 1966 it was placed in theBotetourt Gallery of the EarlGregg Swem Library, where it stillremains.

It is one of the earliest exam-ples of commemorative publicstatuary in the United States, andthe only one to honor a royalgovernor.

In 1993, when the college cele-brated its Tercentenary, a newstatue of Lord Botetourt createdin bronze by W&M alumnus,Gordon Kray was installed in thecollege yard, in the place occu-pied for so many years by theoriginal.

During the holidays, LordBotetourt heralds the season witha wreath.

Each year the Woman’s Club of Williamsburgawards a $1,000 scholarship to a graduating youngwoman from Bruton, Warhill, Jamestown andLafayette High schools.

The scholarships are meant to provide somefinancial help for students to use toward their educa-tion at a 4-year college or university. Applicants needto provide a copy of an acceptance letter from theaccredited university or college dated by April 15.

Members of the Women’s Club pore over theapplications sent to them, looking for the studentwhich best exemplifies scholastic achievement andcommunity involvement.

While SAT scores and grade point aver-ages figure into the decision for theawards, as important is the workthe students do away from theclassroom.

“A lot of them are givingback to the community,” saidCarol Bonesteel, who coordi-nates the scholarship programwith Janell Hunnell. “They areinvolved at church or at Fishor Grove Christian Outreach.”

Each applicant is asked towrite a 250-300 word essay on“What This Scholarship Meansto Me.” They often expoundon their community involve-ment and what earning theaward from the club wouldmean to them.

“They really bring a person-al vein into the essay,”Bonesteel said.

Applicants need two lettersof recommendation frommembers of their high schoolstaff which can include a guid-ance counselor or teacher. Allapplications must be given tothe high school guidancecounselor. The deadline isApril 15.

Those who are chosen areinvited to a meeting of theclub in May where they canshare with club members whatthe award means to them.

“They are always very grateful about it, and are sovery enthusiastic,” Bonesteel said.

She is continually amazed at the activities andcommunity-minded spirit the young people exhibit.

“I am always very impressed with the amount ofinvolvement they seem to have,” Bonesteel said. “Inaddition to all they do, many of them also have jobs.These are quite outstanding women.”

You know spring is right around the cornerwhen the Williamsburg Farmers Market returns.This month, there is one market scheduled for8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Saturday, March 12.

Things really get hopping for the new seasonbeginning April 2. That’s when markets will run8 a.m.-noon on Saturdays through Oct. 29.

Some 30 producers and vendors will sell avariety of products including, produce, clams,oysters, cut flowers, organic vegetables, herbs,orchids, baked goods, free range chickens, porksausage, fish, herbal and goat’s milk bath prod-ucts, fresh bread and eggs.

Market manager Libbey Oliver, said the mar-ket usually draws about 1,000 people eachweek, depending on the season and the weather.Folks travel from near and far, many faithfully.

“Folks are regulars even if they aren’t locals,”Oliver said recently. “We have people comingfrom Virginia Beach, Northern Virginia andGloucester who make regular trips here.”

People respond to the atmosphere of themarket, which combines food, entertainmentand culinary demonstrations.

“People know that they can depend on verygood quality of food and wonderful connec-tions with the farmers,” Oliver said. “And theylike the ambiance of the music and the chef tentwith demonstrations, all in the nice setting ofMerchants Square.”

People like the variety of products offered.“We are always trying to have something new

and different, as well as the standard things thatyou can count on,” Oliver said.

Even when the weather isn’t optimum, peo-ple still make it a point to visit. “Even last fallwhen it was pretty chilly, you can’t stop peoplefrom coming,” she said.

Gary Byrd has been the real estate industryfor some 30 years. During that time, he hasbeen involved in nearly 1,000 real estatetransactions.

He puts his experience to work each day,helping clients buy and sell homes, assistingin every aspect from contract to closing. Oneof the best parts of his job is ensuring theprocess has a positive result.

“It is always satisfying to see my clientswith a smile on their face at the closingtable,” Byrd said recently.

He added that people might not realizehow much goes into the successful comple-tion of any transaction.

“Making the sale can sometimes be theeasy part,” Byrd said. “There are many morethings that have to be done after a sale likehome inspection, termite inspection,appraisals and the problems that can comeinto play. Realtors are directly involved ineach of these things.”

Byrd said that the downturn in the econo-my adversely affected the local and nationalreal estate market. He feels that we are in “aslow recovery.”

“Although things have been tough thelast few years, our area fared better than

most,” he said. “Hopefully as we workthrough this year and near 2012,

things will start progressing to abetter market.”

It’s can be challenging findingbusiness, but Byrd is proactive.

Byrd said he regularly sendsout direct mails to his past clientbase and to those people wholive in neighborhoods he regu-larly works in. He sends corre-spondence to potential clientsthrough e-mail or phone.

“I am always trying to findways to better my print advertis-ing as well,” he added. “But ofcourse, the thing I like to do eachday is to show homes.”

People who move here fromother places are generally attract-ed to our small town setting cou-pled with our many opportuni-ties.

“The thing that peoplerespond to positively is theHistoric Area, Busch Gardensand Water Country,” he said.“We also hear how people appre-

ciate the amount of fine restau-rants there are to choose from.People also like our proximity tothe beach, mountains,Richmond and Washington.”

When he isn’t in the office, youmay find him on the golf course,which he wishes he had moretime for.

“And there is always some-thing around the house I can doto keep me busy,” he added.

Byrd said full retirement isn’tfor him, at least not anywhere inthe foreseeable future.

“I get antsy if I don’t get to theoffice at least every other day,” hesaid. “I would hope that in tenyears I may be semi-retired, andhave a little more time for familyand a little more time for golf.”

Fred Liggin recently became the lead minister atWilliamsburg Christian Church on John Tyler Lane.

The picturesque church seemed the right fit forLiggin whose goal in serving the people of hischurch is simple.

“I want to love fully, live passionately and givefreely of my life to every person that comes my way,”Liggin said.

The community of faith has embraced Liggin andhis family, and has made his transition smooth andjoyful.

“They have been greater than we could have imag-ined,” he said. “This church has authentically lovedme, my wife, Alison, and son, Ian, in ways that wecould not have imagined. They have become familyfor us.”

Liggin said there are goals within the church,which he is helping the congregation meet.Members are working to bring the message of Jesusmore deeply to each other and to those who live inour community. He feels God can work in every lifeand make what has been broken, whole again.

“No matter what you have done or where youhave been, God isn’t through with you yet,” he said.“There is hope. There is joy. There is grace. There islife. These things do not come to us because of right

Liggin said the church mem-bers focus on being “church”everyday, not just on Sundays.

“At Williamsburg ChristianChurch, we want to exist as if wewere a gift, sent by God to makeHis presence in this area tangi-ble,” he said. “For us, it is time tofollow Jesus into the hard places,difficult situations and hurtinglives in practical ways. It is timefor us to lives as people who arelearning what it means to giveour lives away for God and Hisredemptive and restorative mis-sion in Jesus Christ.”

Liggin said the call to disciple-ship guides all the programs andministries of the church.

“We will be a people joinedwith God in His pursuit of restor-ing lives through the gospel, andin God’s grace, seek to make atangible difference in our city,”he said.

Members are involved in mis-sion initiatives including GroveChristian Outreach, Vibrant LifeMinistries, youth and children’sministries and small groups. Infact, children’s ministry has beenexpanded to better serve families.

“We are committed to equip-ping parents to raise their chil-dren the way God has calledthem to,” Liggin said. “So, weneed to create environments anddynamic structures within ourchurch to support that effort inexciting, meaningful, theological-ly rich and practical ways.”

In 1995, Jan Sarmiere and her sister RosanneO’Neill, decided they wanted to read more and sharetheir experiences and thoughts with other women.

That was the genesis for “Ladies of the BookClub,” which now has about a dozen members whomeet seven times a year to discuss books and ideas.

“I was never really a reader, and I wanted to beexposed to different types of literature,” Sarmieresaid recently. “We have a cohesive group. We havecamaraderie and fun, and we discuss books.”

Club members are polled each year and are askedwhat books they would like to read. A biography, amystery, a classic and a short story are chosen.

The group has read dozens of books ranging fromclassics including “To Kill a Mockingbird” to “TheShack” by William Young, which is a story about aman encountering God.

“That was the hundredth book we read,” Sarmieresaid.

Some of Sarmiere’s personal favorites have included“Shadows of the Wind” by Carlos Zafon, “AnAmerican Tragedy” by Theodore Dreiser and “Devil inthe White City” by Erik Larson.

Sarmiere’s cousin, Eve Rizzo of North Carolina,recently wrote a book about her life in England dur-ing World War II. She was a recent guest at a meetingto discuss the book and meet the members.

Sarmiere said group members have diverse back-grounds running the gamut from educators to thosewho had careers in the medical field. The wide rangeof experience contributes to spirited conversations.

“There is a lot of dimension to the group,”Sarmiere said. “Everyone brings their own perspec-tives.”

Sarmiere’s mother, who is 100, often attends meet-ings and participates in group discussions.

The group is currently reading the classic, “LittleWomen.” Appropriately, they will then read a biogra-phy on the book’s author, Louisa May Alcott.

“This year it seems we are reading books about alltypes of families and relationships,” Sarmiere said.“At one time we read books that all had to do withthe 19th century. It just sort of happened that way.”

The group was recently featured in “BookmarksMagazine.” Group members wrote a descriptive arti-cle about their group, which was published in theJanuary/February issue. And an added perk?

“I won a free subscription to the magazine,”Sarmiere said.

Reading a diversity of literature and being part ofthe group has encouraged the creative spirit withinSarmiere.

“I am thinking on writing a book now,” Sarmieresaid. “I don’t know if I will ever finish it, but I dohave an outline and a summary. That’s my long termgoal.”
