INSIDE: Section B LocalLife www.rrecord.com March 24, 2016 Rappahannock Record Kilmarnock, VA Citizens and organizations are join- ing together in support of the Clean Power Plan to reduce carbon pollution during a Day of Action, April 2, in 13 cities across the Commonwealth. A Day of Action rally will be held at 12:30 p.m. at Wicomico Forge, 18399 Mary Ball Road, White Stone. Albert Pollard Jr of Irvington is the lead organizer, with a great deal of help from Greg Haugan of Heathsville. The Clean Power Plan calls on state governments to find flexible pathways to uphold standards of carbon pollu- tion reduction from existing power plants set for Virginia by the Environ- mental Protection Agency. Virginia is already well on its way to meet its tar- gets but the Day of Action is calling for a state plan to be submitted that actually reduces total carbon emis- sion from all of the Commonwealth’s power plants, existing and proposed. This effort is made easier by the fact that the cost of utility-scale solar energy has dropped 70% over the past five years and is now close to or on par with natural gas fired generation. Additionally, large scale energy effi- ciency is widely accepted to be the cheapest way to produce additional capacity on the grid—although utili- ties do not profit from it as much as if they built a new power plant. “We are very proud to support the efforts of White Stone-area individu- als and organizations as they rally for commitment from Gov. McAuliffe,” said Pollard. “This outward display of dedication from citizens will help spark a more proactive approach to clean power from our elected offi- cials. I can’t stress enough the impor- tance of recognizing that the choices made by Virginians today directly impact our economic and environ- mental future.” To sign up for the rally, email pol- [email protected], or go to cleanpowerva.org The Rapphannock Art League and Steamboat Era Museum on April 2 will hold a collaborative fundrais- ing event, The Fine Art of Steamboat Dining. The seated dinner including an oyster bar and wine, will be held at 6 p.m. at the Hills Quarter Community Center in Irvington, reported museum director Barbara Brecher. Proceeds will be shared by the two organiza- tions. The dinner will feature items from the Steamboat Era. The event will include a live and silent auction. Black tie optional, said Brecher. Tickets are $75. To purchase tickets or an ad in the event program, or to become a sponsor, call 438.6888. J azz and pop singer Jane Mon- heit will pay joyous tribute to the beloved songbook albums of Ella Fitzgerald when she per- forms in Kilmarnock next month. Monheit will release her new album, “The Songbook Sessions: Ella Fitzgerald,” one day prior to her performance at 7:30 p.m. April 9 at the Lancaster Middle School Theater, 191 School Street, Kilmar- nock. Tickets are $35 for adults and $12 for students. Tickets may be purchased at the door, 438-5555, or rappahannockfoundation.org. “It’s an absolute privilege and thrill for us to have a singer of Jane Monheit’s stature and celebrity launch her ‘Songbook Sessions: Ella Fitzgerald’ album the day before she arrives at our middle school theater, to share her raptur- ous and beautiful voice,” said RFA president Peggy Stalnaker. Blessed with “a voice of phe- nomenal beauty,” according to The New York Times, Monheit has established herself as one of today’s best and most important vocalist- musicians. The Grammy-nominated vocal- ist’s appearance in Kilmarnock will be bookended by appearances at Carnegie Hall in New York and Blues Alley, Washington, D.C. She will be accompanied at her North- ern Neck performance by a trio of musicians. The latest album is Monheit’s 13th, her first on her own label, Emerald City Records, and includes such hits as: “Something’s Gotta Give,” “Somebody Loves Me,” “Where or When” and “I’ve Got You Under my Skin.” The homage to Fitzgerald’s song- book recordings had been contem- plated for a long time, according to Monheit. She has acknowledged the land- mark songbook recordings, which featured the work of Irving Berlin, Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Johnny Mercer, Duke Ellington, Harold Arlen and George Gershwin, held “Biblical” impor- tance to her when growing up on Long Island, N.Y., and continues to this day. Monheit studied voice at the Manhattan School of Music. At the age of 20, she was the first runner- up in the 1998 Thelonious Monk Institute’s vocal competition. Soon after, Monheit released her debut album, which was voted Best Recording Debut by the Jazz Jour- nalists Association and stayed on the Billboard Jazz chart for a year. Subsequent albums reflected Monheit’s dual interest in jazz and cabaret, Brazilian music as well as songs by Paul Simon, Fiona Apple and Burt Bacharach. Her appearance in Kilmarnock will mark the final performance in the Rappahannock Foundation for the Arts 2015-16 On Stage concert series. Rappahannock Art League’s Paint Like the Masters workshops series, popular with non-artists and artists alike, will continue with a slightly different program. All workshops will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Studio Gallery, 19 North Main Street, Kilmarnock, reported RAL president Sukey Star- key. The fee is $30 for RAL mem- bers and $35 for non-members. Diana Jamison will lead an eve- ning doing a Mary Delany botanical collage. Mary Delany was an 18th- century bluestocking who produced many hundreds of “mosaiks” of plant specimens. These two work- shops will be on April 8 and 15. On May 13 and 20, Rappahan- nock High School art teacher Sally Clements will lead a workshop doing Monet’s “Lily Pads.” On June 17, Sarah Soderlund will introduce students to a differ- ent kind of painting on Yupo, to do an abstract painting. Yupo is a syn- thetic “paper” that is non-absorbent and allows for a fun and unexpected flow and mixing of paint, said Star- key. On July 15, Mary Jo Beswick will lead another workshop, paint- ing Van Gogh’s “Wheat Field with Cypresses.” Her earlier workshop of a Matisse’s “Goldfish” was the first one and, like all subsequent work- shops, was a sell-out, she said. Johnny Hayes, a great painter and an entertaining instructor, will lead Paint Like the Master – Johnny! on August 19. His paintings are remi- niscent of Matisse and other paint- ers of that genre but with a 21st- century whimsy, said Starkey. All of the instructors with the exception of Clements are exhibit- ing artists in the Studio Gallery The Northern Neck Master Gardeners’ annual Gardening in the North- ern Neck seminar on April 2 will feature presentations by gardening experts, an extensive marketplace and a number of special exhibits. The seminar will be held from 8:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the White Stone Church of the Nazarene Family Life Center, 57 Whisk Drive, White Stone. Registration is still open. The fee is $25. Registration forms are available at nnmg.org and Northumberland Cooperative Extension, 580-5694. Exhibitors will include John Olivier and his demonstration hive of live bees, said communications chairman Cathie Ward. A member of the Northern Neck Beekeepers Club, Olivier keeps about 45 colonies of bees in Lottsburg and surrounding areas. He maintains about three acres under cultivation just for bee forage, and no longer mows his lawn as much as in the past, said Olivier. Dandelions, field hawkweed and deadnettle are welcome in his grassy areas. One of the major problems with beekeeping is the lack of forage year round and quite often bees starve to death in winters, he said. Olivier keeps a demonstration hive mounted on a wall in his study, which he has set up with access to the outdoors. There he keeps a watchful eye on it through a plexiglass panel. Honeybees and native pollinators play a vital role in agriculture. Semi- nar speaker Tim McCoy will talk about this “overlooked stakeholder group,” the dangers pollinators face from pesticides and other environ- mental hazards, and what home gardeners can do to protect them. Master Gardener exhibits will showcase various education programs in the community, including rain barrel construction, raised gardens and shoreline advisory services. An exhibit from Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) will fea- ture sustainable shorelines, with information about native plants and best practices for waterfront gardens. “That’s just a few of the exhibitors this year—19 altogether, with ideas and products to make our sustainability message a reality in your own garden,” said seminar spokesperson Janice Mahoney. The Kilmarnock Museum will hold its annual meeting at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 26, at the Haydon Building at Dream Fields, 1385 Irvington Road, Kilmarnock. The speaker will be Monty Deihl of Reedville. He will talk about Omega Protein’s operations. Deihl is vice president of opera- tions for Omega Protein Corp., working in the Reedville fishing plant and overseeing the company’s fishing, shipyard and warehousing operations, both in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. He graduated from Northumber- land High School in 1982 and from Randolph-Macon College in 1986, earning a bachelor’s in mathemat- ics. He entered the U.S. Air Force in 1987. He retired in 2007 as a lieutenant colonel, earning awards including the Defense Superior Service Medal and the Bronze Star Medal during Desert Storm. He joined IBM Corp. as a senior managing consultant in 2007. In 2009, he became the general man- ager of Omega’s Reedville facility. He has a master’s in administra- tion from Central Michigan Univer- sity, a master’s in military science from Air University and a master’s in industrial resource strategy from National Defense University. His wife, Mary, also is from Reedville and they have two adult children. The public is invited. Light refreshments will be served.

Tom Euler, 21, of Hartfield recently made the finals in the 2016 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tenn., along with fellow members of the Bobby Blackhat Band of Newport News.
While there, Euler met up with rock-and-roll photographer Robert M. Knight, who flew to Memphis specifically to photo-graph and interview Euler for his Brotherhood of the Guitar.
The Brotherhood, Knight’s brainchild, in partnership with Ernie Ball Music Man, helps to promote and mentor accom-plished young guitarists to make their way in the music business. See Euler’s interview at brotherhoodoftheguitar.com (click on Ernie Ball Music Man Artists and scroll down).
Euler performs regularly throughout the Middle Pen-insula, Northern Neck, Wil-liamsburg, Hampton and Vir-ginia Beach, and he thanked all of the friends who helped raise funds for the Bobby Blackhat Band’s trip to Memphis last January.
The 2016 Historic Garden Week Tour in the Northern Neck, “Following Country Roads in Lancaster County,” will feature four private homes and two historic churches in Lancaster County, all open to the public on April 27.
Treetops, 219 Red Fox Lane, Weems, owned by Fred Comer and Mark Manoff is one of the houses on the tour. It was designed by Virginia architect Milton Grigg, best known for his restoration work in Colo-nial Williamsburg and Monti-cello, said Comer.
Grigg worked as a modern-ist in the Jefferson tradition. Built in 1974 by David and Mary Lloyd Lay, Treetops is an example of Grigg’s later work.
Nestled in a grove of tower-ing oak trees on a knoll over-looking the eastern branch of the Corrotoman River, this contemporary home centers around a large “rotunda,” an octagonal drawing room with three walls of glass overlook-ing the garden and the river. Public rooms in the house con-tain large glass walls and doors that lead to a stone terrace that surrounds the water side of the home. Additionally, each public room contains a work-ing fireplace.
“The best thing about Tree-tops, is that Milton Grigg made extensive use of glass walls and skylights to bring in light, so that there is a natural tran-
sition from the indoors to the garden,” said Comer. “The sense of light and openness is very special.”
The current owners have
updated the interior spaces and interior decoration, including an extensive renovation of the kitchen and bathrooms. Deco-rated in an eclectic formal
style, the house features a fine collection of English and Continental antique furni-ture as well as contemporary and traditional paintings. The previous and original owners planted the four-acre property with rare and specimen Japa-nese maple trees, rhododen-dron, and other exotic plants. Within the large rear garden, as it leads to the waterfront, a pool and pool house are perched just above the water’s edge.
“We are delighted to include Treetops on this year’s His-toric Garden tour in Lancaster County,” said event co-chair-man Anita Tadlock. “Its archi-tectural significance, its lovely interior space and decoration, and its riverfront garden will offer visitors a memorable experience. We’re grateful to its owners for sharing their lovely home.”
Tickets for the tour are $35 per person for ages 13 and older; half-price for ages 6-12 and free for ages 5 and younger. Children younger than age 17 must be accompa-nied by an adult.
Tickets may be purchased on tour day at any of the tour sites and at the information center at White Stone UMC. Tick-ets also may be purchased at vagardenweek.org.
Advance tickets are $25 pre-paid at vagardenweek.org, or by mail until April 17. Checks can be made payable to The Garden Club of the Northern Neck: Carol Hughes, P.O. Box 775, Irvington, VA 22480, or email Hughes at [email protected]. Please send check with a stamped, self-addressed legal-size envelope. Tickets will be available until April 25 at The Pedestal, Kilmarnock; The Dandelion, Irvington; and MBWM, Lancaster.
Box lunches are $15 each and must be reserved before April 20. Vegetarian lunches are available. Send checks pay-able to White Stone UMC to Maxine Somervell, P.O. Box 153, White Stone, VA 22578; call 435-3545, or email [email protected]. Lunches may be picked up at White Stone UMC from 11 a.m. to 2. p.m.
“Special thanks go out to Sarah and Anthony Kimble, owners of Something Different in Urbanna, Shannon Haley,
Teddy Davis, Maggie Rainwa-ter Budd, Joanna Worley, Bob Eubank and Kerry Robusto,” he said.

Dr. Bryan is a 20-year past president of the Virginia
Historical Society in Rich-mond. He will discuss his latest book, Imperfect Past: History in a New Light.
Dr. Bryan retired in 2008, after a 30-year career as a public historian, according to museum executive direc-tor Holly Horton.
He first served as assis-tant editor of the “Papers of Andrew Jackson,” a Uni-versity of Tennessee docu-mentary editing project, said Horton. Following stints as executive director of the East Tennessee Historical Society and St. Louis Mer-cantile Library Association, Dr. Bryan was appointed president and chief execu-tive officer of the Virginia Historical Society in 1988.
He co-edited with Nelson Lankford, Eye of the Storm,
a Civil War Odyssey, and a follow-up volume, Images from the Storm, based on the diary of a Union soldier. After several years of writ-ing periodic op/ed pieces on historical subjects and the nonprofit world in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Dr. Bryan now is a frequent columnist for that paper, said Horton.
Dr. Bryan served as presi-dent of the American Asso-ciation for State and Local History and was president of the Independent Research Libraries Association.
He is a lecturer for the Organizations of American Historians’ Distinguished Lecture Series, and is a board member of both the VMI Foundation and the Medical College of Virginia Foundation.
He also is a board alumnus and a current independent consultant to the Smithso-nian National Museum of American History.

Virginia heartleaf (Hexa-stylis virginica) is an attrac-tive evergreen perennial plant with glossy heart-shaped green leaves that grows six to eight inches in height. The leaves often take on silvery variegation as they mature.
Beginning in April, it pro-duces interesting small brown or dark purple flowers which look like little brown jugs. The flowers are difficult to see without close examina-tion since the leaves often cover them.
The leaves emit a ginger smell when crushed. Vir-ginia heartleaf slowly spreads to form clumps by means of underground roots called rhi-zomes.
In nature, these plants are generally found in the dry shade of deciduous trees and love the acidic humus-rich soils of our woods. It is a desirable groundcover for a

William Henry Evans V
Mr. and Mrs. William Henry Evans IV announce the birth of their son, William Henry Evans V, at 5 p.m. August 26, 2015, at Carillon New River Valley Medical Center in Montgom-ery County.
Henry weighed 7 pounds, 10 ounces, and was 21 inches long.
His maternal grandparents are Col. and Mrs. Neil A. Smart of Mollusk. His paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. William Henry Evans III of Irvington.
The family lives in Blacks-burg.

Casino Night on the Rivah, a lively evening of fun and games at the Boys & Girls Club of the Northern Neck, is scheduled for April 16 at the BGCNN Activities Center, 517 North Main Street, Kilmarnock.
The event will feature casino favorites such as poker, black-jack and roulette, said execu-tive director Philip Mumford.
Each person attending will receive $10,000 in casino chips, and a chance to win numerous raffle prizes, he said. In addition, there will be a silent auction, food, music, dancing and a new system of electronic horse racing. The horses will be sponsored by businesses and BGCNN sup-porters.
To add an exciting twist, there will be a new enhance-ment to the popular golf shot. Casino Night patrons will remember in 2014, when Klaus Schaschek of Irvington won a $10,000 grand prize—which he split with the BGCNN—by sinking a 50-foot putt amid wild cheers.
“Schaschek will be back on April 16,” said Mumford. “He welcomes competition for the $10,000 grand prize. However,
this year’s winner will have to hole three, 25-foot putts.”
The BGCNN fund-raising efforts are protected by an insurance policy that pays out in the event of a winner added Mumford.
“Everyone attending is eli-gible to make one attempt at making all three 25-foot putts. Beginner’s Luck could mean a winner, too,” he said.
There also will be music and a dance floor, said Mum-ford. Catering will be provided by Windows on the Water. River Market is donating a round of roast beef. All guests will have their choice of an adult beverage or soft drink.
Presenting sponsors are Bank of Lancaster, Chesa-peake Investment Group, and Union Bank. For sponsorship and group ticket packages, call 435-9696.
Tickets are $50 per person (black tie optional) and may be purchased at the Club Office, 517 North Main Street, Kilmarnock; by mail with a check made out to BGCNN, or with a credit card.

Sheila Arnold Jones, a professional storyteller and historical interpreter, will present dramatic first-person portrayals of two colonial-era African American char-acters at the Lancaster Court Day Colonial Festival April 9 at the Mary Ball Washing-ton Museum.
Both characters are based on real indi-viduals from the 18th century, said execu-tive director Karen Hart.
The first character is Ol’ Bess who was a slave in Williamsburg at the Raleigh Tavern, owned by Mr. Southall. Ol’ Bess will talk about her life with her husband and four children, her work in the tavern, and the ways she learned to survive as a slave. She also will share some of the things happening in Virginia’s colonial capital in 1774 as talk of revolution begins.
The second character is Oney Judge, a free woman of color and former enslaved maidservant to Martha Washington. She ran away to freedom in Philadelphia near the end of George Washington’s term as president.

The event, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., also will feature other fun and edu-cational activities for all ages, such as a colonial encampment, demonstrations of blacksmithing, weaving and spinning, 18th-century music by Ampersand, fife and drum, musket firing demonstrations and a children’s scavenger hunt with prizes.

Former Richmond resident and University of Virginia grad-uate Sarah A. Tisdale will be the featured artist at Rappahan-nock Westminster-Canterbury’s rotating art exhibition for April.
She will show acrylics, water-colors and calligraphy in the one-woman show she’s dubbed, “A Few of My Favorite Things.”
Tisdale moved a number of times as a child, but a constant in her life has been her family’s river house in Weems.
“We’ve been spending week-ends in this house on Carter’s Creek since 1998, and it’s one of the most special places in my life,” Tisdale said. “After gradu-ation, I was perfectly happy living in Charlottesville, but my roommates wanted to move, so I came here to live with my mom.”
Taking her inspiration from the beauty of nature and the river setting, Tisdale likes

to paint outdoors when the weather allows. Her day typi-cally starts with a walk, so she
can focus and think through her work. Then, she settles into a routine of creating art.
“It’s so relaxing and thera-peutic for me,” she said. “I’m finishing up some commis-sions—lately a number of watercolors of pets and wed-ding portraits—and then I can focus on making art that I’m inspired to create.”
An Echols Scholar at U.Va., Tisdale majored in studio art with concentrations in paint-ing and printmaking. She had a big art show as her final project in college and had a show in a coffee shop after graduation, but she is very excited to share about 20 pieces of artwork at the RW-C exhibition.
Tisdale’s art exhibition will be on display throughout the month of April. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. A reception from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on April 22 will be open to the public.

WEEMS—Leonard Brand died peacefully at his home in Weems on March 15, 2016.
Leonard was born in London, England, during World War II in 1941, the youngest of nine children. When he was 2 years old, his parents and one sister were killed by one of the “buzz” bombs that the Germans dropped on England. He was taken in and raised by his oldest sister, Mary, and her husband, Dave.
Leonard graduated with a master’s in structural engineer-ing from Virginia Tech. His first job was with the space program in California. He then came back East to accept a job in the research department at Newport News Shipyard.
While employed there, he was among a group of engi-neers who sailed aboard the SS Manhattan, which had been outfitted as an icebreaker, through the northwest passage to Prudhoe Bay to test the fea-sibility of transporting the min-eral wealth of the Artic region by water. This was before the Alaska Pipeline.
From there, Len accepted a job as director of development with a company in Rockville, Md., which developed cost estimating systems for large processing plants, mainly in the petro chemical industry.
Len and Betty lived in Great Falls for 20 years until he retired in 1998, when they moved to Weems to pursue their love of golf.
Len is survived by Betty, his wife of 38 years; a son, Rod Bartlett (Jinann) of Waterford;
three brothers, Henry of Mur-rells Inlet, S.C., Albert (Marta) of Sarasota, Fla., and Ronald (Edie) of Pawleys Island, S.C.; three sisters, Josephine Mayo of Venus, Fla., Renee Sewell of Summerduck and Peggy Leatherbury of Weems; and a brother-in-law, Wayne Byrd (Susan) of Warrenton. He also is survived by two granddaugh-ters, Blair Bartlett of Pulaski and Nicole Knight (Troy) of Missouri City, Texas; and two great-grandchildren, Henry and Gabrielle Knight.
He was preceded in death by his sister, Mary, who raised him and her husband, Dave, but is survived by their two sons, who are technically his neph-ews, but are more like broth-ers to him, David and Steven Davis of Norfolk and Virginia Beach, respectively.
Interment is private. Expres-sions of sympathy may be made to ALS Association, DC, MD and VA Chapter, 2800 North Parham Road, Suite 208, Richmond, VA 23294.
Currie Funeral Home Inc. of Kilmarnock handled the arrangements.
LIVELY—Larry Smith Crockett, 72, of Lively passed away on March 17, 2016.
Larry is survived by his brothers, Alfred D. Crockett of Orange, Texas, and Earl E. Crockett of Raleigh, N.C.
He was preceded in death by his father, Alfred S. Crockett; his mother, Margie V. Crockett; and his sister, Judy L. Edwards.
Larry enjoyed life to the fullest as a boy on Tangier Island and later as a boy in Lillian. He had lots of prom-ise as a young man until
schizophrenia took away the fun and adventure and left him with pain and fear and ultimately claimed his life by preventing him from making sound health care decisions.
We bid Larry good-bye and a good journey in the arms of his angel free of pain he suf-fered so long.
Visitation was held at 1 p.m. Tuesday, March 22, at Currie Funeral Home, Kilmarnock. A service fol-lowed in the chapel.
Interment was at Roseland Cemetery, Reedville.
FA R N H A M — M i l d r e d Marie “Mitty” Dean, 87, of Farnham, formerly of Morat-tico, passed away on March 20, 2016.
She is survived by her chil-dren, Brenda Ellis, Camilla “Cam” Fallin, Pamela “Pam” Clegg, Samuel “Sam” Dean, Anabel Fields and Sandra Augustine; seven grandchil-dren, Dwayne “C. J.” Headley, Jason Gordon, April Gordon, Holly Ellis, Joshua Fields, Juli-anna Fields and Kealey Augus-tine; and two great-grandchil-dren, Rachel Ann Headley and Tristian Seth Headley.
She was preceded in death by her daughter, Linda Faye Dean.
Memorial services were held
at 11 a.m. March 23 at Currie Funeral Home, Kilmarnock. Family received friends one hour prior to the service.
Memorial contributions may be made to Emmanuel United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 75, Morattico, VA 22523.
KILMARNOCK—Leah C. Flaherty of Kilmarnock passed away on Wednesday, March 16, 2016. She passed peace-fully to join her beloved hus-band, Marvin, who preceded her in death.
Leah was one of seven chil-dren of Clifton and Edda Dell Darcey and was born on Feb-ruary 24, 1926.
Leah is survived by her son, Michael E. Flaherty and his wife, Judy, of Richmond; and her daughter, Cheryl L. Ballou and her husband, William E. Ballou, of Gulf Breeeze, Fla. Leah loved her five grandchil-dren, Niki Wise and her hus-band, Darren, Heather Ballou, Cindy Gasperino and her husband, Mike, Billy Ballou and Kelly Ballou. She is also survived by seven great-grand-children, Conner and Harrison Wise, Leah Ballou, Logan and Luke Wilson, and Michael and Matthew Gasperino.
Leah loved her life in Kilmarnock and playing golf at Indian Creek. She was a daily regular at Lee’s for break-fast and to see her friends. She was able to go to dinner one last time at the Sandpiper last week.
The last 10 years had been hard on her because she could
not get out easily, being con-fined to a wheelchair. When she did, however, she enjoyed every minute of it, especially visiting with everyone. She was deeply loved by family and friends and will be missed by all.
Leah’s entire family would like to thank Dearie for all of the care and love bestowed to Leah in her final year. Words cannot express what all of you have done has meant to us.
Funeral services were March 21 at Currie Funeral Home. The family received friends at the funeral home an hour prior to the service. Interment fol-lowed immediately afterwards in Historic Christ Church Burying Ground in Weems, where she was laid to rest with her beloved husband, Marvin.
BALLS NECK—Glenna Mae Rose Harding, 61, of Balls Neck passed away on March 20, 2016, at her home, sur-rounded by the ones she loved.
She was preceded in death by her father, Lacy C. Rose Sr.; and her father- and mother-in-law, Diller and Bessie Jean Harding.
She is survived by her hus-band, Wayne; children, Shan-non H. Herring (Greg) and Matthew Diller Harding (Tif-fany); grandchildren, Lucas Kyle, McKenna Catherine and Connor Wayne Harding; mother, Elsie P. Rose; brother, Lacy C. Rose Jr. (Jeanne); and sister, Carolyn R. Barrett (Brent); along with a host of family and friends.
Glenna was best known for her “tellin’ it like it is,” her infectious laugh and the love she had for her family. Her favorite things to do were sit-ting on her porch, spending time with her grandchildren, and having a good time with friends.
Glenna, the Queen of Balls Neck, an ambassador to Goat Island, is and always will be a true legend around these parts.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 26, at Morattico Baptist Church in Kilmarnock, with a recep-tion to follow.
In lieu of flowers, Glenna would appreciate a donation to The Realm of Caring at www.crowdrise.com/GlennaMemo-rial.
Currie Funeral Home Inc. of Kilmarnock handled the arrangements.
Wicomico Parish Church recently installed a new marker for designating the grave of Sarah Degge.
During the construction of the fourth Wicomico Parish Church in 1900, a large marble grave slab was uncov-ered, reported docent Ann Tucker Wood. The slab read in part, “Beneth this marble Lieth the body of Sarah Degge, wife of John Degge who departed This life the 3rd day of February 1778 In the 57th year of her life.”
Many subsequent vestries did not know what to do with the slab, said Wood. In 1953, when the Parish Hall was added to the church, parishioner Harry Thorndike uncovered many ancient remains. All were placed in receptacles and later interred in a common grave donated by the Dietz family. This site now lies within a chained area near Jessie duPont Memo-rial Highway at the front of the Parish Hall in Wicomico Church.
Several years ago, Capt. Bill Johnson, church histo-rian and generous benefactor, noticed that the grave slab was cracking and the inscrip-
tion could no longer be read. Johnson, along with cem-etery wardens Lou Anstine, Dave Eilers, John Hollowell and Bob Waterman, decided to fund a new marker to ensure the church’s historical remembrance.
Now Sarah Degge’s grave has a marker which can be read by church members and the community, said Wood.
Wicomico Parish Church especially thanks Curry Funeral Home for assisting in this effort, she said.

RAPPAHANNOCK RECORD
Rev. John Farmer has been the pastor at Irvington Baptist Church since 1986.
On many a good, warm morning Miss Hazel
and I share a view-Holy. With warm cups of coffee, we greet the sun on our east-ern plain through a sliding glass door, which opens to the patio. As the sun clears the trees, birds chirp the day awake. We particularly profit from visits from Mr. & Mrs. Robin Redbreast. At the union of the fence around our pool deck and the fence covering our HVAC, (main-tained by the good souls of CHAC) an American Beauty Rose climbs and weaves its way to and fro, fence to fence.
I admire the Robin fam-ily’s ability to fly in and around the rose climber and fences with fastidious dis-patch. The thorns offer no obstruction. For sure God taught them how to fly in the face of danger.
Seeds, worms, and other delicious morning fare are copious and for at least an hour a day they flit and fly, dine, weave and bob until my coffee’s gone and other issues bid us away.
Like many of us, I am a radio-raised lad. In the mid to late 1940s you could play along the sidewalks of south Richmond’s Lawson and Hull streets and keep in touch and synch with favorite radio programs. Especially so, was the case on hot summer days and nights. You see, we only had one station, WRVA. Step by step, from door to door WRVA sang out from across the James. I believe that the shows were broadcast from the mezzanine of the former Hotel Richmond, sideways across from Capitol Square.
In May 1933, WRVA had opened new broadcasting studios in the Hotel Rich-mond, 9th and Grace streets. The Corn Cob Pipe Club was one of the many regular radio programs. It proved so popu-lar with listeners through-out the United States and Canada that by July 1935, almost 900 clubs were estab-lished in the United States and foreign countries. And
for you seniors, don’t you remember the Corn Cob Pipe Club located at the former Bernard Willing’s Irvington Store?
By my time, the biggest gig on radio then was the Sat-urday night Old Dominion Barn Dance, starring Sun-shine Sue (1911-1979) as the radio host (1946–1957).
The music and humor show was broadcast live on radio in over 38 states and Canada. The original theater for this popular bluegrass/country music show was the Lyric Theater on North 9th and East Broad streets. The theater was filled to capac-ity every Saturday night with lines that wrapped around the block for two shows: 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. It intro-duced America to Country Music.
The Old Dominion Barn Dance ran for 11 years, fea-turing Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters (sis June attended old John Marshall High School, later married Johnny Cash); renowned guitarist Chet Atkins; banjo-ist Earl Scruggs; and many others. “The Barn Dance music was earnest and home-spun, and the jokes corny — like Grandpa Jones com-plaining about a city slicker selling him a tub with a hole in it.”
The Lyric Theater was built in 1913 as a vaudeville theater and later renamed the WRVA Theater. It was demolished in 1963 to allow construction of a new build-ing. Say, wasn’t that the former IBM building, now owned by Virginia taxpay-ers?
In March 1940, Sunshine Sue and Her Rangers first broadcast on WRVA. In Sep-tember 1946, WRVA leased the old Lyric Theater and the Old Dominion Barn Dance began airing. By 1968, the new WRVA studio was moved to historic Church
Hill overlooking Richmond, and the James River. Clear Channel Communications bought WRVA, spring 1992, and is the current owner.
I found this poem in a Book of Poems collected by Sam Workman of the Old Dominion Barn Dance. Oh, by the way, the book belongs to Mrs. Lucille Andrews, Frederick’s Hall, Bumpass, ... Perhaps I should return it?
The poem helps me focus on the last days of Christ upon this earth.
The Legend of The Robin’s Red Breast
Oh have you heard this story it happened long ago
When Christ our blessed Savior was here on earth below
An echo through the ages from distant Calvary
I’ll tell it to you simply as it was told to me
It breathes the blessed teaching of God’s own Holy Word
A lesson taught in meekness by a lowly little bird
When Jesus hung in sorrow our debt of shame to pay
No one was there to com-fort or wipe His tears away
A little bird flew near Him in sober coat of brown
And gazed in tender pity then slowly fluttered down
With gentle wings it fanned Him to cool His aching head
And hovered near His bosom all stained with deep-est red
At last when all was ended as if to mourn His loss
It rose with blood stained feathers and circled around the cross
It flew away in sadness and to this day t’is said
It wears upon its bosom that stain of crimson red
When I shall cross the valley and go to seek my rest
May I wear like the robin God’s sign upon my breast.
Reflectionsby Rev. John Farmer
With gentle wings it fanned Him to cool His aching head And hovered near His bosom all stained with deepest red.
For over 15 years, Kilmarnock United Meth-odist Church has had an outreach ministry.
Starting out as a congressional care min-istry under the leadership of former member Hennie McGonegal, today’s outreach com-mittee provides luncheons for new and single members and others to promote fellowship within the church, reported publicity chairman Jo Manson.
The luncheons are conducted several times a year in a member’s home. Recently, Betty Riley hosted a luncheon in her home in Heathsville.
Other outreach committee initiatives, under the direction of chairman Patti Grace, include providing prayer shawls and public-ity for the church. They also provide Kilmar-nock UMC mugs for Sunday service visitors.
Calvary Baptist Church, 490 East Church Street, Kilmarnock, and its sponsors invite the public to a dedica-tion of the Calvary Memorial Circle in memory of J. Allen Ball Sr.
The ceremony will be held at noon, April 9 at Calvary’s Memorial Cemetery, 12824 Mary Ball Road, Kilmar-nock.
A reception will follow at the Calvary Baptist Church fellowship hall, Kilmarnock.
The Knights of Columbus on April 16 will solicit contri-butions for KOVAR (Knowing Our Values Achieving Results) at businesses in Kilmarnock and Callao.
The Knights, through KOVAR, are Virginia’s largest non-governmental contributor in support of friends and neigh-bors struggling with mental and intellectual disabilities, said John Garbak.
Look for the yellow and red apron-clad Knights and their supporters, said Garbak. Stop by, be generous and share some Tootsie Rolls.
Over 98% of every dollar raised goes directly to KOVAR-approved services and organi-
zations, and every penny raised in Virginia stays in Virginia, he said. Much of what the Knights have accomplished would not have been possible without the support and generosity of fellow citizens.
Virginia Knights have raised more than $12 million since1971 in assistance for citi-zens with intellectual disabili-ties and funded such projects as:
loan program to assist in the purchase of group homes.
-ing to assist in purchasing vehi-cles needed to transport persons with intellectual disabilities.
grants to furnish group homes.-
grams, grants to establish early detection programs to identify infants with or at risk of intel-lectual disability.
for organizations to train per-sons with intellectual disability to enhance their quality of com-munity living.
establish new and innovative programs to assist individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families.
