LocalLife Section B Rappahannock Record Kilmarnock, VA October 14, 2010 www.rrecord.com Entertainment • People • Calendars Lewis to close concert series Maritime musician and storyteller Tom Lewis will perform from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, October 17, at Festival Halle in Reedville. Doors open at 5:15 p.m. Guests are welcome to bring a picnic supper. Tables will be set up and chairs also will be arranged audience style. Beverages and snacks will be sold. A donation of $5 per person is suggested. The concert represents the final Reedville Fishermen’s Concert of the 2010 series. Created from his years in the Royal Navy and years in folk clubs and festivals, Lewis’ songs cover a range of nautical topics, from life on board Her Majesty’s ships, through the loneliness and lure of the sea, to traditional chanties and classic nautical poetry, many set to his own melodies. He has produced many CDs and a songbook including 46 of his own. For every song, he has offered commentary as to what prompted him to write it. Each book also includes a CD with song clips. Pickleball is all the rage at Northern Neck YMCA by Lisa Hinton Valdrighi W hat do you get when you cross bandminton, tennis and ping pong? The answer is an oddly named sport that offers up a fun, cardiovascular workout and is growing in popularity in the lower Northern Neck. It’s Pickleball and it has nothing to do with the vegetable condiment of the same name. Although surprisingly few people have heard of the sport, it’s actually been around for 45 years. The game evolved out of boredom, according to the USA Pickleball Association’s website, usapa.org. One summer afternoon in 1965, U.S. Congressman Joel Pritchard and his friend, William Bell, and their families were sitting around at Pritchard’s home in Seattle, Wash. With nothing to do, they decided to play a game of badminton. But without a full set of bandminton equipment, they improvised and made their own rackets from remains of broken ones and used a plastic ball they found. The name came from the Pritchards’ cocker spaniel, Pickles, who retrieved the ball each time it went out of bounds. The yelling of “Pickles-ball” was later shortened and so was born a sport that nearly half a century later is being played across the country on outdoor courts at campgrounds, at YMCAs, in schools and On October 26, Rappahannock in backyards.

Photos by Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi Connie. “If you want to play one-on-one, it’s a great way to lose weight,” said Connie, who as an ambassador has committed to promoting, organizing and teaching the sport. “Think of [pickleball] as a little bit of ping pong, a little bit of badminton and a little bit of tennis,” she said. “It’s a great sport that anyone can play. It increases your reaction time, strengthens your core and is a great cardio workout.” Pickleball is played on a court slightly smaller than a regulation tennis court — 20 by 44 feet — with a net hung 36 inches from the ground on each end. Players use a wooden paddle to hit a plastic ball similar to a wiffle ball but with smaller holes. Serves are made underhand and must bounce once on the opposite side before being returned. Once the ball is returned and has bounced once on both sides of the net, it can be volleyed or played off the bounce. Teams only score when serving and points are lost when the ball is hit out of bounds, hits the net or is volleyed in a 7-foot no-volley zone in front of the net. A team must win by two points and a normal game is played to 11 points. Games in last week’s tournament were played to 15. Anyone can play Sounds complicated, but players say it’s actually a very easy game to learn. At 85, Jinx Holton has the distinction of being the oldest pickleball player at the YMCA. A lifelong tennis player, she gave up that sport when the sideways motion started to hurt her knees. “Absolutely anybody can play this. You don’t have to be an athlete,” said ■ Legacy show Concerts By The Bay will present The Legacy of Floyd Cramer at 3 p.m. Sunday, October 17, at Mathews High School, 9889 Buckley Hall Road, Mathews. Single tickets at the door are $25. Season tickets are still available starting at $60 for four concerts Jason Coleman, grandson of Floyd Cramer, pays tribute to the legendary Nashville pianist, singer and song writer, performing the pop, country, blues, jazz, and light classical music that Floyd Cramer made famous. ■ Big yard sale New St. John’s Baptist Church in Kilmarnock will hold a large yard sale sponsored by the Senior Choir from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, October 15, and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, October 16. Proceeds will benefit the AfricanCaroline Merryman serves the ball American culture program. during class at Lancaster Middle School. Holton, who started playing just six weeks ago. “I think it’s wonderful,” she said. “You don’t have to have a set team like in tennis or golf, where you usually put together a team. You just show up to play and when one game ends and a group stops, you just get up and play. Sometimes you play with all men or all women, it really doesn’t make a difference.” Because the game is easy to learn, family friendly and can be played by all ages, many schools have added it to their physical education programs. Lancaster County middle schoolers play the game in their physical education classes. The Northern Neck Family YMCA, which provides all the necessary pickleball equipment, is offering a special pickleball package. Players do not have to be a member of the YMCA but can pay only to play pickleball.

Chris Robertson is to be congratulated as his first time on stage distinguishes him with his manic energy and dedication to the smallest nuances of each character.

RAPPAHANNOCK RECORD Kilmarnock • Virginia Menokin seeks more volunteers to help preserve site and tell the story of the ruins The Menokin Foundation is seeking volunteers to help tell the story of the historic site, organize fund-raisers including an annual music festival, maintain the gardens and grounds, and other related duties, according to assistant director Leslie Rennolds. Menokin was the home of Frances Lightfoot Lee, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and brother to Richard Henry Lee, said Rennolds. The house is an archaeological ruin which has undergone years of careful excavation, conservation and stabilization to preserve it as a learning resource for 18th-century architectural techniques and materials. Menokin sits on 500 acres in Richmond County, 250 of which are part of the Rappahannock River Wildlife Refuge, she said. The site includes a Woodland Trail, a bluebird trail, and access to Cat Point Creek, as well as a visitors’ center that houses much of the original woodwork excavated from the house before its col- lapse in the 1950s. Volunteers participate in the preservation and interpretation of all that Menokin has to offer, said Rennolds. “Right now we need friendly folks to greet visitors; docents willing to be trained to lead tours; educators to guide K-12 students and adults in archaeology, history, and conservation; archeological assistants; gardeners and native plant enthusiasts to create a Butterfly Demonstration Garden, and much, much more,” she said. Interested individuals are invited to an open house Saturday, November 6, from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Activities will include a brief presentation on the history of Menokin, a tour of the Visitors’ Center and the ruin, lunch and a brief training session. Lunch is complimentary; however, a reservation is required. Call Pam Narney at 333-1776 to make a reservation.

Middlesex Museum to bring living history back to the county The Middlesex County Museum and Historical Society will host a living history program October 24, bringing to life a county event from 1771 performed in dramatic style by living history players. “The Baptist and the Parson,” to be presented at 2 p.m. at Urbanna Baptist Church and at 4 p.m. at Antioch Baptist in Saluda, will highlight the difficulties and tensions between Middlesex’s established Anglican Church and the arriving New Light Separate Baptists. The kernel for this absorbing and educational program is a letter written from the Urbanna jail in 1771 by itinerant Baptist preacher John Waller describing his arrest and imprisonment for preaching in the county—and thus challenging the authority of the official church. County historian, author and journalist Larry Chowning brought this remarkable letter to the attention of museum board members while researching the event for the forthcoming book on the history of Middlesex County, and the program began to take shape. Living history players from the Rappahannock Colonial Heritage Society of Fredericksburg, dressed in period clothing and representing Waller and some of his followers, will bring the Baptist story to life. The Rev. Paul Andersen, rector of Christ Church Parish, Middlesex, will play the part of the Anglican pastor, the Rev. Samuel Klug, who pastored Christ Church in 1771. A brief prologue will introduce the drama, and an epilogue will follow. Using Waller’s letter as a starting point, county historian and museum board member Barbara Lovelace researched historical records of Baptist and Anglican activities and conflicts in Virginia, and especially in Middlesex, in this time period. She used extensive primary and secondary sources to write the program script. “Although the drama includes fictional material, the presentation is built around the preserved letter the Baptist preacher John Waller wrote from prison, and the challenge from the Anglican pastor reflects accurately the mindset of 18th-century Virginia clergy as the Baptists began to preach extensively in Middlesex,” said Lovelace. She reports that “tensions were high as evangelical preachers, inspired by the Great Awakening, preached a vibrant gospel and drew thousands away from Virginia’s long-established Anglican Church. “All present-day Baptist congregations in Middlesex are the beneficiaries of the work of the early itinerant preachers,” Lovelace continued. “Although both Baptist and Anglican (including Episcopalian) churches have grown and prospered in the fertile soil of American religious freedom enshrined in our Constitution, it was not always so in 18th-century Virginia. Let us tell you this story!” Museum president Marilyn South remarked, “As with these earlier living history programs, memorable characters brought to life from the county’s past are sure to emerge.” Words cannot express the appreciation I feel for the support and friendship shown by the past and present members of the Rappahannock Garden Club throughout the past weeks.

Kilmarnock UMC organizes Christmas shoe box effort Kilmarnock United Methodist CHurch is a collection location for shoe boxes going to Operation Christmas Child next month, according to M. J.

To join the shoe box effort, get a brochure at Kilmarnock UMC between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. weekdays. Choose a boy or girl and the child’s age range. Fill a shoe box (with a separate lid) with small new toys, jewelry, hats, toiletries, school supplies, hard candy and other items. Return the filled show box and a $7 check (to Samaritans Purse) by November 8 to Kilmarnock UMC. “You are encouraged to pray now for the child who will open your box later,” said Conway. The boxes will be sent to Boone, N.C., and from there to one of a 100 countries where children do not know about God’s love, said Conway. Do not include used items, war toys, chocolate, liquids, aerosol cans or breakable glass, said Conway. Details are available at Samaritanspurse.org/occ, or call Conway at 435-1045.
