“Thank you for helping us to

look forward to seeing all of you
for our bazaar on November 6.”
Lowery indicated the committee has been busy assembling gift
baskets for the holiday season and
adding numerous items to the gift
tables.
“We have reduced the fall section
of gift items and added the Christmas section, which is adorned with
theme Christmas trees” she said.
“We have many small items for gift
giving to secret pals, office workers, and hostess gifts.”
The café will feature homemade
chili with a condiment bar on Saturday and the bakery booth will be

The fourth annual Super Raffle/

screen. For the hobbyist of all ages,
there’s a P-47 Thunderbolt model
kit.
“Admission is free, but be sure
to bring your check books,” said
Walker.
Following the silent auction, the
other highlight of the event is the
Super Raffle drawing. Winners
will be picked for 10 prizes. The
prizes include a 12-foot kayak, a
camcorder, a 45-inch-by-45-inch

Author to speak
on Randolph
family women
The Mary Ball Washington
Museum & Library will host
author and historian Ruth Doumlele at 3 p.m. November 15 at
Trinity Church in Lancaster to
speak about her recent book, The
Randolph Women…and Their
Men. The book focuses on members
of the Randolph family of Virginia and paints a vivid portrait of
life in the American south following the Revolution, said museum
executive director Karen Hart.
Doumlele’s talk will be followed by a book signing. Books
can be purchased for $21, including tax, at the event or in advance
at the museum gift shop. Admission is free; however, donations are suggested to benefit
the museum. Reservations are
requested; call 462-7280 or visit
[email protected].
“To borrow a modern phrase,
the book reads like ‘The Real
Housewives of Early Virginia.’ It’s the true stories of the women
whose husbands, fathers and sons
were the privileged planters and
politicians of Virginia and the
new nation,” Hart said. Doumlele
describes the Randolphs crossing
paths with such people as Thomas
Jefferson, John Adams and James
Madison. Bay Tones return to the stage

RAPPAHANNOCK RECORD Davises to celebrate their 50th anniversary
Michael C. and Patricia L.
Davis of Lancaster are celebrating their 50th wedding
anniversary. The couple was
married on November 5, 1960,
at Sacred Heart Church in Norfolk, Neb.
When the couple met, Mr.
Davis, originally from New
York, was serving as an airman
third class in the U.S. Air Force
and was stationed at Offutt Air
Force Base in Omaha, Neb.
Mrs. Davis, originally from
Stanton, Neb., was teaching
at an elementary school in
Omaha.
Mr. Davis later joined the
Central Intelligence Agency as
an imagery analyst and together
the couple relocated to Bowie,
Md., where they raised their
family. Upon retirement, the
couple moved to the Northern
Neck.
According to family members, Mr. Davis enjoys his retirement maintaining the roads,
grounds, and water works of
Heritage Point Association.
Mrs. Davis enjoys her retirement with the Woman’s Club
of Lancaster County, quilting,
cross-stitching, and sewing
crewel embroidery. She also
plays a mean hand of bridge,
they said.
The Davises have three
grown married children and six
grandchildren. They are planning to have a 50th celebration
in November. According to
their children, their family and
friends want to congratulate
them for their cherished life and
love together.

Tickets on sale for Historic Urbanna Holidays Home Tour
Urbanna is one of America’s oldest (1680)
and tiniest (0.42 square mile) towns. Its downtown historic area is a Virginia Landmark and is
on the National Register of Historic Places.
Nearly every year since 1990, Urbanna homeowners have opened their doors on the first Saturday of December to celebrate and share their
holiday traditions with the public. This year’s
Historic Urbanna Holidays Home Tour includes
five waterfront homes, a gracious 18th-century
dwelling, and a festive holiday tablescapes exhibition.
The tour stops include: • Eagle Ridge—Wrapped around a four-story,
free-standing spiral staircase, Eagle Ridge soars
over a cove of Urbanna Creek. Lawrence and
Amanda Jo Fuccella have put up a tree in almost
every room of their home. Lawrence’s model
trains whistle and wind their way around them. • Sticks and Stones—With its stone walls,
board and batten siding and charming English
entrance garden, Pete and Judy Mansfield’s
home is like a cottage in the Cotswolds, but it’s
right here on Urbanna Creek. • The Tavern—Traveling salesmen, planters
and politicians stayed at this historic home in
the 18th century. Decorated with fresh and fragrant greens and fruits, at The Tavern, Meredith
Caskie revives the gracious hospitality of Tidewater Christmases past. • Watercolors—Award-winning artist Nancy
Foley recently collaborated with Pamela Heereman of Chesapeake Design and contractor Ken
Moore of Urbanna to renovate her Queen Anne’s
Cove waterfront condo.
• Rivah’s Edge—Jack Townsell worked with
Ken Moore to add architectural detail and space
to showcase the family heirlooms and novel
antiques he’s collected over the years. • Cloud Ten— Other than a new coat of
paint and whimsical kitchen cabinet pulls,
Deborah Flippo says she and husband
Frank’s weekend retreat is “as it was” when
they bought it. Well, not exactly. Deborah
and Frank may not have added architectural
details, but what Deborah calls their “cottage
style” is hardly “as-is.” The condo is full of
art, collections and clever ideas.
The former Middlesex County Courthouse
building on Virginia Street also will be open
to showcase holiday table-top decorating
talents of the Middlesex County Woman’s
Club.
The tour will be held from 10 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. Saturday, December 4. Tickets
are $25 on tour day and $20 in advance. A
ticket includes admission to all stops on the
tour, parking, shuttle service, a town map
and a gift bag full of coupons redeemable at
Urbanna shops and restaurants. Buy tickets at Cyndy’s Bynn, Make Thyme,
The Wild Bunch or Papeterie in Urbanna.
The Town of Urbanna, Urbanna Business
Association and the Town Beautification
Committee work hard to protect and enhance
Urbanna’s natural and historic charm. Proceeds from donations and house tour ticket
sales have funded town improvements such
as brick sidewalks, period lamp posts, landscaping, street furniture, flags—and, for the
first time this year, bright-white holiday
lights on the bridge over Urbanna Creek.

Spotlight: Veterans Day,
November 11
For November, the library
is spotlighting Veterans Day,
a day to honor the bravery of
all U.S. veterans. Armistice
Day, as it was originally called,
was declared a legal holiday to
honor veterans of World War
I, which officially ended on
November 11, 1918.
Registration
begins for
Christmas parade
Kilmarnock’s 32nd annual
illuminated Christmas Parade
will be held at 7 p.m. December 10.
Among the early entries
are the Marching Elites from
Hampton, the Munster Koach,
Frosty the Snowman, Buzzie
the Clown, Ronald McDonald, the Buck Smith Train, a
circus calliope and Santa.
Any group or organization
wishing to enter may go to
Lancasterva.com and click on
events, or call 435-2473, 4356092, or 804-296-0930.
The theme is “Rocking
Around the Christmas Tree.”
There will be seven awards
for floats, five for equestrian
groups, and a new award,
the Ryan Wilcox Memorial
Plaque for best decorated fire
truck.
Float awards will include
the Grand Marshal’s Award
depicting best presentation of
the theme, the mayor’s award
for best noncommercial entry,
the judges’ award for best
use of lighting, the Chamber
of Commerce Award for best
commercial entry, the youth
award for best youth entry
and the Tanya Dickinson and
Charlie Carneal Memorial
awards which are presented at
the discretion of the judges.
The parade is sponsored
by the Lancaster By the Bay
Chamber of Commerce.
Roanoke Farm
to host
Christmas
Oyster Roast
Historic Roanoke Farm
will host St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church’s fourth annual
Christmas Oyster Roast from
12:30 to 3:30 p.m., December 4.
Recognized as a Virginia
Century Farm, Roanoke is
owned by A. Mason Brent and
has been in the Brent family
for more than 150 years. Its
600 acres span the north and
south sides of Route 360 in
Heathsville.
The one-and-a half-story
cottage on the west dates
from the middle of the 18th
century, while the tall, threeand-a-half-story center was
built in the first quarter of
the 19th century.
House
tours will be available.
Oyster lovers of all ages
will be “Rockin’ Around the
Christmas Tree” to classic
“oldies” and Christmas chestnuts from the ‘40s through
the ‘80s.
The all one can eat menu
will include roasted local
oysters, chili, hot dogs,
brownies, cookies, hot cider
and soft drinks. Beer and
wine also will be available.
Admission is $30 per
person. Tickets may be purchased in Heathsville at EVB
and Bank of Lancaster; Callao
at EVB and Essex Bank; Burgess at EVB and Essex Bank;
Kilmarnock at Bank of Lancaster main branch; or ststephensheathsville.org.
Proceeds will benefit St.
Stephen’s, Hospice Support
Services of the Northern
Neck and SAIF Water.
Following the Korean War
and World War II, Congress
approved changing the name to
Veterans Day as a way to honor
veterans of all of America’s
wars. Although, for a few years
Veterans Day became a “floating” holiday, it ceased to float
in 1978, when it was returned
to November 11.
Many retired service men
and women live in the Northern Neck and many of them
use the library, a fact evidenced
by, among other things, the
size of the library’s collection
of history, biography, and fiction related to America’s wars.
A subject search finds 94 titles
related to World War I, 83 titles
related to World War II, 7 titles
related to the Korean War, 13
titles related to the Vietnam
war, and 5 (all nonfiction) titles
related to Iraq and Afghanistan.
These numbers represent a
sample only, it not being a perfect search.
In honor of veterans everywhere and particularly those
who live here, the library is
using its display table this
month to highlight Veterans
Day. You will find, in addition
to histories, biographies (Ernie
Pyle for example), and fiction,
such as The Things They Carried, by Tim O’Brien.
For an up close and personal
review, check out Recollections: World War II memoirs of
28 who served, by the Northern Neck Chapter of the Military Officers Association of
America. Stop by, peruse, and
take home some books. We will
keep the table filled.

JEWELRY
FACTS
BY ROSS CHRISTIANSEN
The lovely yellow topaz is the birthstone for those born in November. Topaz is
reputed to bring loyalty to its wearer. Citrine
Quartz, often mistaken for topaz, is also a
November birthstone.
For birthstones, diamonds, fine gems,
or any other jewelry item, see us. A gift of
jewelry is sure to be appreciated for any occasion.

Two members of the White

home after a successful missions trip to Nepal.
Teen and missions pastor
Jeff Jackson of White Stone
helped lead a team from
Manassas to the far eastern
part of Nepal to construct a
church and a child development center (CDC) just outside of Itahari.
After two weeks, Jackson

indicated the impact made

“You could almost see the
villages transform before

there,” said Jackson. “Volunteering side by side with
the local people is always an
incredible experience.”
Building CDCs in South

ministry in the last couple of
years. The CDCs give help

neither in this world, he said.
They offer education, basic
medications, and a nutritionally packed meal. The average size of a CDC is 75 children.
Sciacchitano
previously
joined Jackson and other
WSCON members to help
build two CDCs in Southern

“Most people can’t even
imagine the living conditions
of the population in South
Asia,” said Sciacchitano. “I
often wonder why God was so
gracious to let me live in this
place at this time. For me, I
feel compelled to give of my

who are less fortunate.”
Both men expressed thanks

KILMARNOCK—The Northern Neck Free Health Clinic this
year gained full accreditation
from the Virginia Association of
Free Clinics, added mental health
counseling as an on-site service,
begun back pain management
classes for chronic pain sufferers,
started INR Clinics for those on
blood thinners, and conducted its
13th Pharmacy Technician Training Course as well as another
X-ray Certification Class.
These developments have not
come at a price: it’s been able to
maintain and even grow its medical clinic, dental clinic and pharmacy operations without adding
to its budget.
“Going through the accreditation process helped us become
more efficient, and new partnerships helped us gain grant funding
for some needed initiatives,” said
executive director Jean Nelson.
“Volunteers as well as staff
stepped up to help us add services
and keep up the pace.”
The clinic has been seeing
more patients, and more need,
due to the economic conditions
of the past two years, Nelson said.
At the same time, the economy
has resulted in major fund-raising challenges. To finish out the
year, the clinic still has $358,000
to raise as of October. The Rev.
Charles Dameron, treasurer of the
board of directors, said donation
appeals are going out to churches,
businesses and the community at
large.
The budget for the 2010 calendar year totals $1.1 million, which
is on track to result in nearly $7
million worth of services, or $6
for every $1 in donations, said
Rev. Dameron.
“Every contribution is a great
investment in the community,” he
added. “The dollars result in much
needed services for those who
can’t afford them otherwise – the
recently unemployed, those with
low-paying, part-time or seasonal
jobs, and those who have seen
their hours and benefits reduced.”
Donations to help fill the local
health-care gaps may be sent to
the Northern Neck Free Health
Clinic at P.O. Box 1694, Kilmarnock VA, 22482.

“TOMMY”
No one has come for me yet!
I have learned lots in the past month. I play well with other dogs.
I am a Boxer/Hound/and possibly have some Pit in me and I am
now about a year old. I have the Boxer coloring and markings they
say, and I say this, I love to cuddle, so my new parents have to
love to cuddle too. I have been crate trained. I walk very well
on leash and I am housebroken. I have had all my shots and I am
heartworm negative and I have been neutered. So you can see
I am just waiting for someone to come get me and give me that
forever home I have looked so hard to ﬁnd.
I have been eating very well and weigh about 60lbs. I love to
play, so maybe I will lose a pound or two. I am very strong. I hope
someone will come and get me. I promise to love you forever.
