Linwood Holton, left the executive man- sion in Richmond. Not long after- wards, the former Virginia First Lady discovered an activity that would become a lifelong passion: building houses for Habitat for Humanity. “I first got involved in Habitat when Lin and I were in Washington,” Holton explains. She and three friends joined a large group of volunteer builders that included former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalyn, to con- struct homes around the world. “We built 10 houses in one week on an Indian reservation in Utah. In Romania we constructed 12 homes,” said Holton. “The locals were suspi- cious of us, because they had no idea about Habitat’s activities. We ended up organizing tours for them to look at our work. Town officials were so impressed that they ended up designating a site where six more Habitat homes could be built.” One of her more interesting trips was to South Africa, where her group built 50 houses on each side of a hill. These small, primitive homes they built made a real difference to locals in need of decent living accommodations. “The South Africans were eager to help because they loved using the tools we brought with us. Many wanted to take the tools home overnight, so we had to be certain, for safety reasons, that all equipment remained on site,” she said. The trip to South Africa included a bonus for Holton. “At the time we were building, one of President Carter’s sons was working in the country on another project. He came over and gave us lessons in the local language,” said Holton. When not traveling the world for Habitat, she spent considerable time with her husband boating on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributar- ies. Even a world traveler has to have a place to call home, however, and the Holtons decided 11 years ago that being close to their boat was a good reason to relocate permanently to the Northern Neck. “Our boat was docked in the Middle Peninsula. When we began looking for a home, though, we realized that many of our friends lived in the Northern Neck, so we found a place just outside of Kilmarnock,” she said. Not long after moving, Holton was swinging a hammer for Habitat again, this time on behalf of the Lancaster/ Northumberland Habitat for Humanity (LNHFH). For the past several years she has participated in Women Build, an annual event held on Mother’s Day weekend that urges women to come out and take part in construction activi- ties. In 2012, the Holtons moved to Rap- pahannock Westminster-Canterbury (RW-C). “I think we always knew that at some point we would want to live some- where that would not require us to do all the maintenance and upkeep on our house. We heard from so many people about what a great time they were having at RW-C. This seemed like the perfect place for us,” said Holton. “Lin insists we moved because I did not want to have to plan for meals,” she says. The Holtons donated their large boat to the Deltaville Maritime Museum, which sold it and used the proceeds to construct a replica of a shallop, the boat used by Capt. John Smith to explore the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries in 1608. “We still have a fishing boat that lets us get out on the water whenever we want,” said Holton. At RW-C she and the former gover- nor “take advantage of every activity” offered by the continuing care com- munity, said Holton. They also are regulars at the Northern Neck Family YMCA, where she is an avid pickleball player. “I’ve even gotten my daughter, Tayloe, involved. She seems to be a natural at it,” said Holton. She also is active at Grace Episcopal Church in Kilmarnock and serves on the advisory boards for Christ Church and LNHFH. She always makes time to help out when Habitat needs a hand on the job site, added Holton. “I believe everyone should have a home so they can enjoy the benefits and experience the responsibilities that come with home ownership. What makes Habitat special is that these new owners aren’t getting something for free,” she said. “They have to put in hours volunteering, including working on their own homes, and they have to pay a mortgage. But Habitat provides them an advisor to assist them in learn- ing about financial management. It’s a great way to give a deserving neighbor a hand up. “I’m sure I’ll be on site at the next Women Build,” continued Holton. She plans to get her daughter Anne Holton, another former Virginia First Lady and Virginia Secretary of Education, to join her as she has in past years. “She’s gotten pretty good at build- ing, too,” said Holton, with the look that only a mother can express about a child of many accomplishments.

Forty years ago Jinks Holton and her husband, Gov. Linwood Holton, left the executive man-

sion in Richmond. Not long after-wards, the former Virginia First Lady discovered an activity that would become a lifelong passion: building houses for Habitat for Humanity.

“I first got involved in Habitat when Lin and I were in Washington,” Holton explains. She and three friends joined a large group of volunteer builders that included former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalyn, to con-struct homes around the world.

Draper’s Raid on Essex County and Tappahannock is the subject of a new exhibit at Essex County Museum and Historical Society, 218 Water Lane, Tappahannock. The exhibit honors Black History Month and the Vir-ginia Civil War Sesquicen-tennial commemoration.

One hundred and f ifty years ago this year, near the end of the Civil War, in June of 1864, soldiers of the the 36th Regiment, United States Colored Troops under Col. Alonso Draper occu-pied Tappahannock for sev-eral days, explained curator David Jett. Draper com-manded a flotilla of at least four gunboats and several troop transports that docked at Layton’s Landing. Troops burned the large nearby flour mill at Font Hill plan-tation, home of Confederate Sen. R.M.T. Hunter, before sailing downriver to Tappa-hannock.

Draper’s soldiers consisted of about 500 infantrymen, 50 cavalrymen and 100 sail-ors, said Jett. Most of these black troops were young men who had been slaves in North Carolina and most recently had been detailed to perform guard duty at the Union prisoner-of-war camp at Point Lookout, Md.

From Tappahannock, the raid was launched into the Northern Neck with a mis-sion to destroy boats, seize livestock and farming imple-ments and slaves, called “contrabands,” he said.

The Draper’s Raid exhibit will be on view daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. through March, except Wednesdays and Sundays. Admission is free.

The Reedville Fishermen’s Museum Winter/Spring Lec-ture Series will continue at 7 p.m. March 3 at Festival Halle, 177 Main Street, Reedville.

Dr. James I. ‘Bud’ Robert-son Jr., will present “Whatever Happened to ...?” detailing what occurred to about a dozen prominent Civil War figures in the years after the fighting stopped, reported education committee chairman Betty Mountjoy.

Dr. Robertson was execu-tive director of the U.S. Civil War Centennial Commission and worked with Presidents Truman, Kennedy and Johnson to mark the war’s 100th anni-versary. He is an alumni dis-tinguished professor of history emeritus at Virginia Tech.

Dr. Robertson is the found-ing executive director of the

Author Rena Roberts Shipp will review her novel, Can’t Hurry Love, about a teenage girl and her sister who are being raised by their grand-mother, for the Books Alive! program at 7 p.m. Febru-ary 25, at the Northumber-land Public Library, 7204 Northumberland Highway, Heathsville.

The book is the third of the Carly Series, according to Friends of the Library pub-licity chairman Jay Walker. The series traces the story of Carly, who struggles to find her way through a broken family, to deal with her high school experiences, and to adjust to being raised by her old-fashioned grandmother, Nanna.

Babygarten times twoGlen Taylor has fun with his twins, Liza and Rhylin, at a recent Babygarten program at Lancaster Community Library. Babygarten will be held at 10:30 a.m. March 3 and 10. Babies, ages 6 months to two years and their caregivers are welcome.

Virginia Center for Civil War Studies. He currently serves on the executive committee of Virginia’s Civil War Sesqui-

centennial Commission.He is the author of more

than 20 books and hundreds of articles, said Mountjoy. The movie, “Gods and Generals,” was based on his book on Con-federate Gen. Stonewall Jack-son, and Dr. Robertson served as historical consultant in the making of the epic production.

There will be a question-and-answer period following the lecture, she said. Copies of this book will be available for purchase and Dr. Robertson will be available for signing.

The museum requests a $5 donation, said Mountjoy. Light refreshments will be served.

Also on the first Monday night, American Legion Post 117 next door serves a fried chicken dinner from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

“The characters for the three volumes were created

from the many students and families I encountered during some four decades spent in public education. Although the characters are quite real-istic, they are fictional,” said Shipp.

“Can’t Hurry Love will be my main focus because it’s the most recently released and is all-encompassing. I’ll talk more about it and read from it. However, the others will be mentioned for they build the foundation,” she said.

Shipp concedes the story would have been different if it was about a boy. “Teen brains are different for boys and girls,” she said. “Both genders find life confusing, but they react differently to that confusion.”

Sponsored by the Friends of the Library, discussion, book signing and refreshments will follow the review.

In the wild, partridgeberry forms scattered patches in moist, shady spots. It does best on banks where there is little competition from accumu-lated leaves.

Small, bright red berries appear after sweetly scented, ½-inch, white flowers in late spring to fall, providing food for wild turkey, bobwhite and foxes. Even in winter, when most plants are sallow and grey, the leaves retain a deep green on the coldest days.

Partridgeberry makes an excel-lent evergreen groundcover in the home garden, but should be kept free from debris and away from a heavy buildup of leaves. It is difficult to grow from seed but easily propagated by tucking a few stems under the soil where

they will readily root after a few seasons.

A rather slow grower, par-tridgeberry is trouble-free and likes shade or morning sun. The plants are drought tolerant and usually need no supplemental watering.

“WE'RE TIRED OF WINTER SALE”Closed Friday, Feb. 28 for restocking

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

The Greatest Show on Earth

In a few days, a circus train will off-load in South Rich-

mond and parade through downtown, and right into the Coliseum’s back door. They will march the animals from the train, across the Manches-ter Bridge that partners US 360, which wandering from Reedville transits our Old Dominion Commonwealth and neighboring states and comes to a halt on the Gulf of Mexico in Texas.

Back some 65 years ago, I was invited by an old rail-road codger to meet the circus train… then I believe the train stopped at the Broad Street Terminal. The sights and sounds, the possible danger, was heady stuff for a wee South Richmond lad (town of Manches-ter).

Lesser known circus and carnival entertain-ers with their animals traveled US 1 (Petersburg Pike), camping along side the highway… We viewed them from afar; they were accused of being “Gypsies!”

Years and years after that introduction to animals-by-rails, I journeyed south to visit Irvingtonians weather-ing the winter away in south-ern climes.

For many winter years, the late Mary and Billy Graham buttoned up their waterfront home here and crossed the bridge onto Gasparilla Island to Boca Grande, Florida, a former railroad dock on the Gulf of Mexico.

Friends Ralph and Carrie Lee Major sloughed us off for a permanent home, when they left Carters Creek and bought a beachfront home there.

Shortly after Hazel and I married, we flew away to the Sarasota airport and taxied over to the Half Moon Bay Hotel just past Saint Armand’s Circle. Threat-ened by the sun wanting to fry my pallid complexion, I bribed Miss Hazel to tour the island. She fell in love with Ca’ d’Zan, “House of John,” the former home of John & Mabel Ringling overlook-ing Sarasota Bay. What an appropriate name, “House of John.”

Anyway, their home is an

ongoing tribute to their col-lection of art and present res-idence of the Circus Museum as well. This of course brought back precious child-hood days of Richmond’s circus and railroad days for me.

Saint Armand’s Circle, a former circus railroad spur, is an extremely up-scale and expensive shopping area. We really are not shoppers, at least not upwards of Walmart and the Tri-Star Market, Kilmarnock. So ‘twas back to the palm-shaded beach at Half Moon Bay. Too few days later, we were back home in Irvington.

Recently learning that it was circus time, and the arrival of rail-delivered ani-mals, I began to watch the exciting TV commercials with a sense of joy.

A story came to mind, however, which moved my theology to circus stuff… let us not forget the lesson of Noah and his animal venture by boat; or him building the boat for a coming flood—when it wasn’t even raining.

Once a colleague in love with a little girl with no circus history thought it ben-eficial to capture the lass and whisk her away to Richmond. They chatted along the whole journey, building the antici-pation of fun, of excitement, beyond measure.

Finally seated mid-way the bleachers, poised eye-level with the three rings, the fun launched. Bedazzled by acts of bravery, daring with amazement, breathtaking events opening, the pilgrim, parent-of-the-day, was slain by the attitude of her young girlfriend. She was actually bored with the whole affair. What to many was so ener-gizing paled compared to a life lived through electronic media, TV and the like. What do you do with thumbs at a circus?

Lions roared, tigers smacked, elephants waddled,

clowns out-did themselves, music blared, all to no avail. The lass wanted food. Hot dogs downed, she next needed cotton candy. There-after she whined for balloons and any other sort of expen-sive, short-lived creations.

The child greeted The Greatest Show on Earth with yawn and com-plaint. Apprised about the good-intentioned childhood opportunity, I began to think how the story paralleled with what God offers you and me.

First and foremost, we were brought to live on a spinning orb hurled through space, snatched in place by

the laws of gravity. Our earth is treated to coun-ter-opposing dark and light… and our rescuer, none other than the Son of God, announced as Light, giving us hope!

God set us into this life to enjoy each other, to bring new lives from our unions, to accept the

mountains and the valleys; to hear crashing seas; to cherish still pools of water.

God gave us the bright blue sky with billowing clouds, the sun and moon, which trade across our heavens.

Clothes were invented when sin embarrassed us. He who knew us before we were born still looks upon us as naked.

Calendars/clocks were created to log our days and nights as God teased that before time, He existed.

Like the little girl in the circus stands, we often observe and partake of God’s great blessings grossly unap-preciative of all that we have been given.

Step back; pay better atten-tion to our surroundings. Be more mindful of our gifts received, more challenged to do for others.

God’s still in the picture, and no matter how, what, why and when we disappoint Him—He loves us. God does not play favorites, He loves us all equally. He promises for-giveness to all who ask.

He has given us our great-est show on earth and an even greater one to follow, the price of the ticket already paid.

Reflectionsby Rev. John Farmer

died February 11, 2014, a day short of her 90th birthday. She was a member of Fairport Baptist Church.
