Transformation taking church
parsonage to community center
by Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi
W
hite Stone Baptist
Church’s former parsonage, vacant for the
past 18 months, should be busy
with activity by summer.
According to Doug Skinner,
the church plans to open the
empty house at 549 Chesapeake
Drive as a community center,
complete with a kitchen, library,
teen game room, computer room
and playground.
“The whole idea is community, not just church,” said
Carol Johnson, a member of the
seven-person committee which
decided to turn the church property into something that could
be used by all residents of Lancaster County.
After the church’s pastor left
in October 2009, the congregation of 200 members discovered
that only about 25% of preachers want to live in church-provided housing. With that in
mind, the church appointed a
committee to “try and come up
with a better use of the house,”
said Skinner.
The committee of Skinner,
Johnson, Susan White, Mary
Posey, Brenda Pittman, Jim Roth
and Stewart Revere in March
presented the idea of using it as
a community center to the congregation.
“And the church got behind
it,” said Johnson. “We said we
needed this much money and
they gave it. The whole church
supported it.”
The church hopes to offer
cooking and sewing classes
there, have the facility open for
residents to use the computers for job searches, relax with
a good book in the library and
host a teen night every Friday.
With the help and generosity

Just Gardens
Lancaster Community Library Golden Anniversary: Tour is Friday Library continues growth; facility doubles in size
and Saturday
by Jackie Ferriter
The eleventh annual Just Gardens tour will be held Friday
and Saturday, May 13 and 14.
Five gardens in the Kinsale and
Mundy Point area of the Yeocomico River will be open both
days from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The gardens include Willow
Point at 536 Mill Creek View
Lane, Warwick Banks at 1452
Mundy Point Road, Cats Cove
at 2273 Mundy Point Road, The
Brann Garden on Brook Avenue
and Plainview at 494 Plainview
Road.
Master Gardeners will be on
site to answer questions, as will
many of the home owners, said
publicity chairman CJ Carter.
The tour benefits The Haven
Shelter and Services. Tours have
raised some$111,000 over the
last 10 years, providing funds
for the construction of the new
shelter “House of Hope,” said
Carter.
The facility can house up to
32 individuals and has been at
capacity numerous times, she
said. Donations from the Just
Gardens tour also have gone to
the creation of an endowment
to maintain the new facility and
ensure quality service to residents in the future.
“Were it not for our good
friends at Chesapeake Bank and
the Bank of Lancaster, we would
not be able to give all of our proceeds to The Haven,” said tour
organizer Anne Olsen. “Their
financial support over the past
eleven years has allowed us to
defray the cost of ticket and brochure printing.”
The community of Kinsale will
be supporting the event by offering box lunches for sale at the
Kinsale Volunteer Fire Department. The Kinsale Museum will
be open during the tour as well.
Nearby restaurants include
Good Eats and The Driftwood.
Vault Fields Vineyards and The
Hague Winery also will be open.
Tickets may be purchased for
$20 at any garden on the days of
the tour; or call 333-1099.

master-slave relations in the transformation of house design
in early Virginia, the Washington family in early Virginia,

Northern Neck Master
Gardener Tips
by submitted by Marybeth Sisson,
Kathy Powell and Bryan Kennedy
Gardening for May
The reality is there will always be weeds in our gardens,
says Master Gardener Linda McConahey. Try to remove them
before they go to seed and compound your problem.
When you put down mulch, remember to keep it away from
the trunks of trees and shrubs so air can circulate near the
trunk discouraging diseases, and so that rodents will not feed
on the bark. Fertilize and, if needed, prune spring-blooming
shrubs, such as azaleas and camellias, after they bloom.
Vegetables & Herbs
Never use a weed-and-feed fertilizer in your garden. Weed
killers affect vegetables as well as weeds and may injure or
contaminate your crops.
Now is the time to transplant peppers, celery and basil.
Direct sow okra, corn and cucumbers.
Annuals
Put out transplants on a cloudy, calm day, or late afternoon.
Set out marigolds, petunias, ageratums and fibrous begonias—all are good border plants.
To promote bushy growth, pinch back annuals, such as zinnias, petunias and salvia.
Begonias, coleus, ageratum, salvia, and vinca prefer light
shade. Impatiens is a good annual for shade.
Perennials & Bulbs
Pinch back tips of chrysanthemums, Shasta daisies and
obedient plant.
Wait to remove dying bulb foliage until it’s completely
brown.
Lawns
Cool season grasses: Lawns maintained at the correct
height resist disease and weed infestation. Kentucky bluegrass
and tall fescue should be kept between two to three inches in
height.
Mow frequently, removing no more than 1/3 of the blade at
each cutting. Do not fertilize in spring. May and June: apply
lime at any time according to your soil test. Aerate. Water
deeply as necessary. Control broad leaf weeds. Apply crabgrass post-emergence control.
Warm season grasses: Apply lime at any time according
to your soil test. Aerate. Water deeply as necessary. Control
broad leaf weeds. Apply crabgrass post-emergence control.
Insect and disease identification and control is critical.
Trained and supervised by Virginia Cooperative Extension,
Master Gardener volunteers provide the community with
research-based gardening and horticultural information. Visit
nnmg.org, or call your local county extension office.

Labyrinth
Walk slated
May 27
Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury will host
its annual Labyrinth Walk
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
May 27 at 132 Lancaster
Drive near Irvington. Participants may proceed on
a meditative walk at their
own pace.
“The labyrinth has been
used as a spiritual tool for
centuries,” said Rebecca
Ford, an RW-C resident and
member of the organizing
committee.
Labyrinths date from
pre-Christian days, and
labyrinth walks have been
used to help people reduce
stress, quiet the mind and
open the heart, she said.
“Walking quietly through
the labyrinth in the presence of other people symbolizes the journey everyone takes through life,”
explained Ford. “Although
you’re walking outside, the
real journey takes place
inside of you as you have
time to reflect on your life
and assess your goals.”
RW-C has been sponsoring labyrinth walks for a
decade, but this year’s walk
will be different, she said.
“In the past we’ve played
recorded music to help
establish an atmosphere
of serenity for walkers.
This year we’ll have live
music, which should add
immensely to the experience,” said Ford.
Members of the RW-C
community and other
musicians will play.
RW-C also will provide
guidance on how to go
through the labyrinth walk
to those not familiar with
the activity. Benches will
be positioned nearby and
water will be available.
The outdoor brick labyrinth was constructed by
the landscape crew two
years ago, and is modeled
on the famous labyrinth at
Chartres Cathedral, France.
Many of the bricks used
to construct the labyrinth
were purchased to honor or
memorialize individuals.
Bricks may still be purchased at $100 each, said
vice president for development Whiz
Harris.
Proceeds will benefit the
RW-C Health and Wellness
Program.

Author and historian Ruth
Doumlele will discuss the
correspondence of The Randolph Women at 4 p.m. May
24 at the Lancaster Community Library in Kilmarnock.,
Doumlele’s book, The
Randolph Women and Their
Men, paints a rich and vivid
portrait of post-Revolution
life in the South on the scale
of Gone With the Wind—
only this story is true, said
library director Lindsy Gardner..
While the Randolphs hold
center stage, their exploits
bring them together with
influential people including Thomas Jefferson, John
Adams and James Madison,
said Gardner.
The book has been nominated for the Library of Virginia Literary Award in Nonfiction.
Season tickets for the 2011-12 Concerts-By-The-Bay community concert series are offered at a $10 savings through June
1.
General seating tickets are $50, reserved seating tickets

after June 1
Single tickets at the door are $25 for each performance, said
Warren. Youth through high school are admitted free. Season
tickets will be mailed September 1.

JEWELRY
FACTS
BY ROSS CHRISTIANSEN
The properties of platinum that make it perfect
for jewelry. . . exceptional hardness, ductility and
high melting point . . . are the very properties
that kept it in obscurity for centuries. By the 18th
century, platinum had captured the interest of the
scientific community. After 1880, platinum began
to supplant silver in settings for diamonds and
pearls and, about 1890, settings of pure platinum
appeared. The price of platinum soon rose until
it surpassed silver and gold. In the early 20th
century, jewelers discovered platinum could be
worked very finely without losing shape, allowing the fabrication of incredibly delicate and
durable jewelry.
Come in and see our selection of platinum
jewelry.

‘CruZin’ on the BreeZe’ slated June 5 by YMCA Garden club to host
81st annual flower show
The
Northern
Neck
Family YMCA recently
announced a fund-raising
event, “CruZin’ on the
BreeZe,” a wine cruise to
benefit the Bright Beginnings program.
The sunset cruise is slated
from 6:30 to 9 p.m. June
5 aboard the Chesapeake
Breeze, departing from
Buzzard’s Point Marina in
Reedville, said co-chairman
Dean Dort. The cruise will
feature a buffet of heavy
hors d’oeuvres provided by
popular area caterer Cora
Tiggle and Bruce Watson
of Jacey Winery along with
wine donated by Norm
Faulkner of Noblett, Ware &
Peoples. There will be dancing on deck. Tickets are $50
per person.
Bright Beginnings gives
children ages 5 to 12 living
below the poverty line a
The Chesapeake Breeze
shopping spree for clothes,
coats and shoes they otherwise wouldn’t have, said
YMCA development associate Lisa Shivers.
In addition to the clothing, each child will receive a
backpack full of school supplies, said Shivers. The goal
is to help children get off to
a good start by giving them
the confidence and the tools
they need to learn when they
walk into their classrooms.
“It’s hard for many of us
to imagine what it would be
like for our children to start
school without new clothes,
shoes, pens and pencils, but
there are those among us in
this beautiful Northern Neck
who don’t have the ability to
buy the most simple things,”
said co-chaimran Terrie
Dort.
“The volunteers have as
much, if not more fun than
the kids,” said T. Dort. “It is
an incredible thing to watch
the faces of these kids light
up as they pick out a coat or
spider man t-shirt or light-
Free transportation will be provided
to ‘Spring on the Plantation’ event
On May 28, George Washington’s Birthplace National Monument will host Spring
on the Plantation.
Free transportation within the Northern
Neck will be offered to the event by NeckRide.org. “Perhaps no other single event
that we host has as many colonial living
history demonstrations as this one,” said
Park Ranger Dick Lahey.
Activities will include sheep shearing
with hand shears, hearth cooking, blacksmithing, basket making and tobacco
planting.
Most activities will be demonstrated by
skilled artisans, said Lahey. Visitors will
have a chance to plant tobacco.
“Spring on the Plantation is a vivid and
fun way to remind us that George Washington was a product of Virginia Plantations,” said Lahey. “Although the event
is always great fun, plantations seldom
were.”
The majority of the plantation dwellers were enslaved black men, women and
children who often suffered from farm
scarcity but seldom enjoyed its profits, he
said.
In 1732, the year of Washington’s
birth, the only cash crop in Virginia was
tobacco, and plantation owners suffered
through bad weather, tobacco horn worms
and widely fluctuating prices paid for their
crop.
In spite of the hardships and conflicts,
George Washington fell under the charm
of life in the country and was always first
a farmer, said Lahey.
George Washington’s Birthplace will be
open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Demonstrations
will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Park
admission is always free.
George Washington Birthplace is on
Popes Creek off Route 204, 11 miles west
of Montross.
Strawberry Festival to
feature gospel concert
St. Stephen’s Anglican
Church in Heathsville will
host its annual Strawberry
Festival from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m. May 28. The festival will feature a free gospel concert,
headlined by the Honeywind Bluegrass Boys, said
Corinne Anthony. This musical group has been performing in the Northern Neck
for several years. Also in
the lineup are The Kingdom
Kids’ Choir, Suzy Long and
Friends, and Alfred Harris
and Son.
A truck-load of freshpicked strawberries will
be for sale at the festival, as well as homemade
strawberry shortcake, said
Anthony. More than 125
crafters and organizations
will be represented on the
church grounds, inside the
fellowship hall and at the
adjacent rectory building.
Festival highlights also
include a bake sale, offering homemade cakes, pies,
cookies and bread; a plant
sale; and mini services
The Garden Club of
Mathews will host its 81st
annual Flower Show from
1 to 4 p.m. May 20 and
9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 21
at Kingston Parish Hall to
accommodate an expanded
show, including eight artistic design classes, horticultural exhibits and memorial
arrangements.
Formal judging will be
completed prior to 1 p.m.
May 20. A “People’s Choice
Award” will be determined
by simple majority of votes
cast by the public during
show hours. The winner
will be announced at the
close of the Flower Show.
Co-chair Nina Allen
urges visitors to “vote for
the arrangement that you
like best.”
The theme is “The Music
of Our Lives.”
“In addition to the familiar display of arrangements
in a niche, this year’s show
will have table arrangements
and pedestal displays,” said
co-chair Martha Anne King.
“Each arrangement will
have accompanying cards
identifying all materials
used as well as the inspiration or idea behind the
design, its symbolism, or
why colors or flowers were
selected.”
A horticultural educational display will present
flowers grown by club members in their own gardens.

Lancaster Players to present
‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’
Rehearsals are under way
at The Playhouse in White
Stone for the Lancaster
Players’ musical production
of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.”
Show dates are June 9,
10, 11, 17, 18, 24 and 25
at 8 p.m., and June 26 at
3 p.m. Admission is $20.
Reservations are required.
Call 435-3776, or visit lancasterplayers.org.
The musical is based
on a popular 1998 movie,
starring Michael Kane and
Steve Martin, by the same
title, said director Robin
Blake. It’s about two fraudsters, Lawrence Jameson
and Freddy Benson, living
on the French Riviera.
Jameson is a cultivated
and suave gentleman who
cons rich ladies out of
their money, said Blake.
Benson, on the other hand,
is a small-town American
thief who cons people into
giving him money by telling made up stories about
his sick grandmother.
One day they meet in a
up sneakers. The hope this
program provides to these
families is truly remarkable.”
“We are so grateful to
Dean and Terrie for cochairing this event, to Cora
Tiggle and Bruce Watson
for providing the food, to
Noblett, Ware & Peoples
for providing the wine
and to Chesapeake Bank
and the Bank of Lancaster
for their lead sponsorships,” said Shivers. “If
it weren’t for the incredible support we get from
the people and businesses
in this community, the
YMCA could not begin to
serve all the children and
families we do.”

The Rev. Dr. Dillard retires at Wicomico Parish Church
The
members
of
Wicomico Parish Church
(Episcopal) recently celebrated the ministry of
their rector, The Rev. Dr.
W. Scott Dillard.
Dillard had been rector
there for 18 years having
been called as its minister in 1993, according to
member Jim Harding. He
entered the seminary after
a distinguished military
career where he retired
from the U.S. Army as a
colonel. Following the
seminary, he was immediately called to Wicomico
Parish Church—his first
and only church.
As church membership grew three fold, his
impact was significant
and continued throughout
his service, said Harding
A preacher of The Gospel,
Dillard is a man of many
letters, especially history.
Unfortunately for the
parish, Dillard reached
the mandatory retirement
The oldest and youngest
mothers were honored

Harding. A search for the
new rector will be commencing.
Meanwhile, The Rev.
Howard Hanchey will
serve as interim rector
“Scott is also highly
regarded in the community
for his compassion and
generosity,” said Harding.
“He is a great listener and
is always ready to lend a
helping hand. Under his
leadership the churche’s

The Virginia United
Methodist
Assembly
Center is preparing for its
inaugural Founders Day
address, “Faith of Our
Founding Fathers” by Gov.
Bob McDonnell on June
11.
Gov.
McDonnell’s
address will be preceded
by a colonial-style dinner
in Blackstone’s grand
dining room and followed
by a debate between interpreters from Virginia Patriots for President George
Washington (Kevin Grantz)
and Gov. Patrick Henry
(Michael Wells).
For guests wishing to
spend the night, VUMAC
will serve a hearty Southern breakfast after which
Bishop Hasbrouck Hughes
will deliver the Sunday
morning message. In addition, there will be a Silent
Auction due to generous
donations by United Methodist Church members
from across the Conference, according to Virginia
United Methodist Assembly Center development
director Jennifer Wall.
The fee for the Saturday evening program is
$30 per person and $50
per couple. The fee for
the program and dinner is
$60 per person and $100
per couple. The fee for the
program, dinner, overnight
accommodations, breakfast and the morning message is $125 per person
and $230 per couple.

church members gathered
at Festival Halle in Reedville April 29 to wish him
and his wife, Pauli, all
the best, said Harding. A
series of skits were performed by various groups
within the parish, and each
skit ended with a heartfelt
toast.
Following the skits the
Dillards were presented
several gifts. The ladies
of the church presented
her with a handmade quilt
with each square depicting some aspect of the
church and their ministry.
A painting of the church
by Parks Duffy also was
presented to the couple.
In addition, a handmade
scale model of the church
made by Ron Feldman
was presented, and on
May 1, two stained glass
windows in the church
vestibule were dedicated
to honor Dillard and his
many contributions to the
parish.
The outpouring of love
and emotion was very
evident as parishioners
bid a fond adieu to their
minister and dear friend.
The Dillards are residents
of Wicomico Church and

“The Lancashire was our first
choice when our mom needed
additional care. Our family
couldn’t be more pleased with
the excellent staff and high
level of care she receives here.
When our mom was younger
she lived a very active lifestyle
and enjoyed dancing, church
and her women’s club, which is
why she enjoys being involved
in the daily activities at The
Lancashire. We feel secure
knowing she is respected and
well treated. She truly “has it
made” at The Lancashire and
her happiness means a great
deal to us.”
