Heavy rains
saturate
Middlesex
by Tom Chillemi
If it seems like it’s rained buckets
lately, that’s not your imagination.
As of December 9, rainfall in
Saluda is 13.4 inches above average
for the year, said Middlesex Cooperative Extension Agent David Moore.
Average annual rainfall at the
Warsaw Extension Office is about 42
inches, Moore said.
With another 2.3 inches this week,
rain in 2009 totals 55.4 inches, with
nearly four weeks left.
Another
unusual
factor—the
rain that boosted the total amount
occurred after May 31, 2009 when the
area yearly rainfall total was .5 inch
below normal, according to Moore’s
figures.
Since June 1, the Saluda area has
been deluged with 34.8 inches of
rain.
November’s nor’easter flooded the
area with 6.25 inches for a monthly
total of 8.95 inches, Moore said.
“We’re pretty saturated.”
By comparison, November 2008
had 3.65 inches, while November
2007 recorded 1.3 inches.
The heavy autumn rains came when
plants, including trees, were turning
dormant, he noted. “If the rain had
come in spring or summer, the trees,
grass and crops would soak it up, or it
would evaporate.”
This past summer there were no
long stretches of hot dry weather,
said Moore. “We had a good corn
crop and a very good bean crop. We
just have to get it (the beans) out of
the field. After they mature, you’re
losing a little quality with every
rain.”
Most of the area is “blessed” with
fields with sandy soils that drain well,
allowing combines to work on firm
ground to harvest the crop, Moore
added.
Total rainfall in 2008 was 44.5
inches; and just 35.2 inches in 2007
—a 7-inch deficit.
The tradition continues
The 16th annual Lt. Gen. Lewis B. “Chesty” Puller Memorial Relay Run took place December 4. Above, a U.S. Marine Corps detachment from
Fort Lee completes the 68-mile relay as it passes in front of Christ Episcopal Church. The Marines paid their respects to General Puller, the
Marine Corps’ most-decorated officer, at his grave in the church cemetery. Listen to the Marines’ cadence as they run through Saluda in the

Lancaster police have suspects
in last week’s two sexual attacks
Reward at $10,000
by Audrey Thomasson
Kilmarnock Town Manager Tom
Saunders said police are investigating several suspects in connection
with the early morning break-ins last
week in Kilmarnock’s Chase Street
neighborhood. In both cases, the suspect displayed a weapon and sexually
assaulted the victims, according to
police.
As of Tuesday, a reward of $10,000
had been posted in the case.
The first assault occurred between
5 and 6 a.m. November 28. The victim’s husband was asleep upstairs,
but because of impaired hearing he
did not hear anything, including their
barking dog, police said. The second
assault happened three days later,
at about 5:45 a.m. December 1. The
victim was alone at the time.
The incidents have caused a wave
of concern throughout the area and
many, many phone calls, town officials said. Saunders asked the public
for patience as the investigation continues.
“Town, county and state resources
are being applied. Nothing is being
held back. All agencies are cooperating fully, including Del. Albert Pollard’s office,” said Saunders.
“Despite what you see on television, it takes time for forensic tests to
be completed,” he said. “Arrests will
not be held up because of this, but it is
essential to give the authorities time to
do their work.”
Saunders asked citizens to check
www.RRecord.com for the latest
information and not call police and tie
up phone lines unless they have information about the case or need help.
In addition to reward money of up
to $1,000 offered through Lancaster
County Crime Solvers, town officials
put up a $5,000 reward for information
leading to the arrest and conviction of
the rapist. Saunders asked citizens
and businesses to pledge money to the
fund, which had reached $10,000 by
Tuesday at noon.
“We are very grateful to the individuals, businesses and civic groups
that have dug deep to support this
request,” Saunders said.
In response to numerous phone
calls following the assaults, the town

Grant will help needy Middlesex families

The Middlesex County Department
of Social Services recently received a
$25,000 grant to support county families in need.
Angela Beachy, the director of
Middlesex Social Services, told
county supervisors on December 1,
that the grant was given by the 2009
River Counties Community Foundation Safety Net Fund, a component
fund of The River Counties Community Foundation, an affiliate of the
Community Foundation serving Richmond and Central Virginia.
Safety net funds can be used to
help families who “fall through the
cracks,” said Beachy. “They might be
the working poor who make more than
just enough to be eligible for regular
assistance.”
The funds can be used to assist
families once within a 12-month
period, and can be used for rent, mortgage, utilities (electric, gas, fuel oil
and water and sewer bills), minor car
repairs, transportation, food and home
repairs for wheelchair ramps.
In a related matter, Beachy reported
that her department has spent $475
on fuel assistance, which will be
reimbursed by the state. Supervisors
approved an appropriation request to

Beachy also noted that 290 county
families have been approved for the
fuel assistance program this winter.
In other matters at their December 1
meeting, supervisors:

School crossing guards Richard
Wright and Dan Bingel have been
replaced by a $700,000 traffic light at
Routes 33 and 620, the intersection
that leads to St. Clare Walker Middle
School and Middlesex Elementary
School at Locust Hill.
In rain, cold and heat Wright and
Bingel have been on duty both mornings and afternoons to see that school
buses and school traffic got to and from
the schools safely.
Wright was a crossing guard for 8
years, and Bingel directed traffic at the
intersection for 7 years.
Middle school principal James F.
Lane thanked everyone who served as
a crossing guard for his school through
the years. “Their dedication to safety is
evident in their work every day,” Lane
said. “We also have appreciated their
dedication to the seamless operation of
our bus transportation program. It has
truly been a pleasure working with the
Middlesex crossing guards!”
The crossing guards were also
praised by Middlesex Elementary
School principal Jeannie Duke. “We
would like to thank the crossing guards
who served our school system for the
past seven-plus years,” she said. “We
appreciate their dedication to help
ensure safe and efficient crossings at
the intersection for our students, staff
and the public.”
During their service, Bingel and
Wright could judge which drivers were
not adhering to the 35 miles per hour
speed limit—and they’d let them know
with a loud, “Slow down!”
After the traffic signal was put in
operation, Wright and Bingel stayed
on duty at the school zone for a few
days to help bring attention to the new
traffic light. They stationed their bright
yellow cars with their blue lights blazing at the “school zone” signs, whose
flashing lights signal the speed limit is

Wright have been school crossing

now 45 miles per hour.
Middlesex Sheriff Guy Abbott said
motorists adjusted to the new traffic
signal well, so Bingel and Wright were
able to discontinue their work earlier
than expected.
Both Bingel and Wright will remain
on call for the Middlesex Sheriff’s
Office to continue directing traffic at
crashes, emergencies, special events
and funerals when needed. Sheriff
Abbott said the crossing guards help
save the county money because their
salaries are much less than deputy salaries, and the county does not pay them
any benefits.
Sheriff Abbott said his deputies will
continue to monitor traffic and run
radar in the school zone where the
speed limit is now 45 miles per hour
when the lights on the signs are flashing.
Recently, a deputy caught an alleged

Protect, defend
your children
To the Editor:
According to the latest figures I’ve seen, the state Medicaid expansion mandate in the
Democrats’ healthcare takeover
will cost Virginia $600 million
a year in new spending. This
expense will have to be borne by
the taxpayers, ordinary people
like you and me, at a time when
the state is facing a severe shortage of tax income due to the
current recession.
President Obama has promised that his legislation will not
raise taxes on the middle class
yet this healthcare boondoggle
will do just that. Of course,
the President also promised to
get our troops out of Afghanistan, but he just ordered 30,000
additional American men and
women to head into harm’s way
in that miserable country to fight
in a war nobody understands.
It seems Rep. Joe “You lie!”
Wilson may have been right on
the money.
If this bloated healthcare bill
passes, it will result in a significantly less prosperous future for
our children and grandchildren.
This unprecedented trillion
dollar government borrowing
will inevitably have to be paid
for through higher taxes. There
is no other way. If your children
are choked by higher taxes, both
federal and state, they will have
far less money to spend on a
decent house, a decent car, a
decent education for their children, and all the other things
that ordinary people want in
their lives.
If you care about your country,
if you care about your children,
call or write Senator Warner and
Senator Webb and tell them to
oppose this monstrous healthcare bill before it’s too late. Protect and defend your children;
they are counting on you.

Regulatory reform
To the Editor:
“The banks need more regulation. Look at the mess they
got us into!” seems to be the
mantra today.
I was ill at home last week
and made the mistake of watching the news. The story opened
with a graphic showing “Wall
Street” and the red pitchfork of
the devil. The announcer immediately went into a diatribe
about the arrogance and greed
of banks. Needless to say, there
was no discernment between the
handful of money-center banks
and the 8,200 other banks in the
country.

Pluck, Perseverance and Progress
If you sense I’m a tad bit sensitive about this topic, you’re
right. The community banks of
this country did not precipitate
this calamity. The whole situation reminds me of a line from
an Indigo Girls song, “Now
I’m serving time for mistakes
made by another in another lifetime.” Community banks such
as Chesapeake Bank and other
local banks have continued to
lend in this economic recession
and be supportive of the economies of the communities they
serve.
The clarion call from Washington for greater regulation will
unduly penalize the community
banks of America, the ones who
have continued to “play ball”
over the past year. The disparate
impact these proposed regulations will have on the industry is
to drive smaller banks out of the
market and further exacerbate
“the big are getting bigger” and
too-big-to-fail problem.
So, the next time you hear
or read a report about the need
to get the banks under control,
think critically about your banks
down the street and what they’ve
done for your community. If you
think we need to be tarred with
the same brush, so be it. If not,
please speak out.

The spirit of
compassion
in Deltaville
To the Editor:
I was both deeply humbled
and blessed that the Deltaville
Community
Association
(DCA) allowed me to be one of
the four grand marshals in the
Deltaville 4th of July Parade.
It was a fulfilling and joyful
experience.
As I recalled all the work
done and positive responses to
our youth, I felt once again the
great privilege I had in serving
the church and belonging to
such a wonderful community.
Naming the recreational area
after me was such an overwhelming honor. The recreational area really is the product
of dedicated youth, supportive
parents, and involved community including summer residents and tourists, my family,
and several individuals who
joined with me in responding
to the community’s grief over
Ricky Taylor’s death by providing leadership.
But, above all else, I know
and believe that our Heavenly
Father touched the hearts of a
vast number of his children and
enabled an entire community to
bring meaning out of a devastating tragedy.
That spirit of compassion in
the community preceded the
hopelessness which arose from
the tragedy and was and is a
reliable source of strength and
purpose.
People who visit or move
to Deltaville are infected by
a sense of inclusiveness and
belonging. In that regard, I still
am a part of something beyond
definition which warms my
heart.
Thank you for your kind and
undeserved considerations. I
can only aspire to measure up
towards your honor
May our Father bless you
all.

I’ll keep my
version of Jesus
To the Editor:
This in reference to “Jesus
was theologically liberal,” a
recent letter to the Sentinel
that contains several notable
errors. The “Quest for the Historical Jesus,” a publication the
writer uses as a reference, was
authored by Albert Sweitzer,
not Rudolph Bultmann as he
claimed.
Bultmann was a German
theologian who for three
decades was a professor of New
Testament studies at the University of Marburg in Germany.
I’m a fan of Syracuse University, especially since my granddaughter is a student there.
And I guess it’s theoretically
possible that Bultmann visited
SU at some time or another
during his career. However, the
registrar and faculty offices,
with records dating back to
the 1800s, could not confirm
any connection between Bultmann and SU. That correlates
with the fact that of the many
biographies available on Bultmann’s life, not one contains
any reference to him as a lecturer at Syracuse.
Of course, while all of this
simply goes to the heart of his
credibility, it’s actually irrelevant to the more serious issue
debated with the writer, i.e.,
“How would Jesus react today
to the agenda endeared by the
liberalists?” Well, that debate
has now been resolved to my
satisfaction, because, based
upon the writer’s own words,
it’s very clear that he and I have
been discussing two completely
different persons—one, Jesus
the Son of God who was born
of the Virgin Mary and who I
believe to be the only Jesus,
and the other, the writer’s Jesus
who in his mind is simply a
preacher or rabbi. And so, I
have no idea what the writer’s
theoretical Jesus thinks of liberalism in its present form,
but I have no doubt about how
Jesus the Christ judges it.
The writer has his version of
Jesus. I’ll just keep mine.

No grasp of
Apology from
Christian theology sheriff is due
To the Editor:
In the “Jesus was Theologically Liberal” letter in last
week’s issue, the statements
about Jesus are hysterical
instead of historical. Although
the letter writer majored in religion, he never grasped Christian theology. Christians are
called Christians because they
follow Christ. They accept the
writings of Paul and the gospel
writers inspired by God to write
about how Christ fulfilled the
promises by Yahweh of a messiah foretold in the Old Testament written by Jews.
According to the letter writer,
“Jesus would have only been
a Jewish teacher and rabbi,
preaching what I believed
about Yahweh and ministering
to the needs of my people. . . .”
Surprise! Jesus did. He administered to needs of all people
with spiritual food. Feeding just
manna makes the poor more
dependent on liberal handouts.
The letter writer wrote that
Jesus was “tired of having
been saddled by Paul with the
Greek title ‘Christ’ for 2,000
years.” Having never supported political correctness, I
profess some of the hierarchical political Jews demanded
“Roman legions”—enemies of
the Jews—to put down one of
their own. Because the letter
writer studied Greek, he should
know the translation of the sign
placed on the Christ’s cross
written in Aramaic, Latin, and
Greek by the Roman official.
If he forgot his Greek, it was,
“Jesus, King of the Jews.” Now
that is a title to be saddled with
for over 2,000 years!
The letter writer insinuated
Jesus’ mother was not a virgin.
I assume he has proof based on
science instead of faith. Christianity is not science, but a
faith in a better world beyond
this sensate one. Christ gave us
free will—freedom to believe
in him or not. May you all have
a blessed merry Christmas!
Fran Ingram
Hartfield
It’s a matter
of faith!
To the Editor:
Although I do not have the
extensive background in theology as the writer of last week’s
letter titled “Jesus was theologically liberal,” I have studied
theology on the college level.
I found, in my studies, that
the more I learned about Jesus
Christ, the more I realized how
much I didn’t know. Jesus was
a mystery from His birth to
His death to His Resurrection!
The Virgin birth, the suffering
and death of the Messiah were
prophesied in the Old Testament; Jesus was the fulfillment
of these prophesies.
The leaders of his time had
attached so many rules and
regulations to each of the Ten
Commandments that the true
meaning of God’s Law was lost.
Jesus taught us how to “live”
the Ten Commandments, summarized in His words—Love
God with your whole heart and
love your neighbor as yourself.
Since following the teachings
of Jesus requires an adherence
to the Ten Commandments,
one must believe! Christians
believe that Jesus is the Son of
God who came to teach us the
importance of living the Commandments. He came to save
us from our misconceptions.
His example of loving care for
people prompts Americans to
be the most generous nation in
the world. His adherence to the
law inspires us to respect the
Constitution and abide by its
mandates. His faithfulness to
His Father leads us to say, “Yes,
I believe!” He was the epitome
of truth, kindness, and integrity,
qualities that are sorely lacking
in our present-day leaders.
Every year we celebrate the
birth of Christ. Let’s put aside
“political correctness” and stop
saying, “Happy Holidays.” Let
us greet one another with a
faith-filled “Merry Christmas!”
Jesus’ birth is what Christmas
is all about. Merry Christmas
to everyone.

Abbott asks drivers to be
especially alert in the school
zone. He noted that even when
a motorist has a green light, it’s
a good idea to look both ways
in case a driver tries to make it
through a yellow light that turns
red.
Drivers who have the right-ofway should watch out for other
drivers who may not have seen
(or ignored) a signal, especially
a left turn signal, said Abbott.
VDOT’s policy is for the traffic light to operate 24 hours a
day, seven days a week.
To the Editor:
On November 15, I was
driving my son, his wife, their
5-year-old son and 2-month-old
daughter back home from the
hospital when we approached
the stop sign by Big John’s
Convenience Store just after 10
p.m. Several police cars were
there. Suddenly, the deputies
jumped in their cars and flashed
their lights. They surrounded
my car at gunpoint and ordered
us to put our hands in the air.
We did what they asked. When
I asked the sheriff what was the
problem, he said we had just
robbed the store. I told him we
had nothing to do with the robbery and were just returning
home from the hospital. I also
told him we had small children
in the car. Then I asked him
to remove the guns from our
face.
They then ordered me to get
out of my car, but I refused.
Then Sheriff Abbott looked into
the car and said we were not the
people they were looking for.
He then ordered his deputies to
lower their weapons.
We were innocent of what
they accused us of and we have
not heard an apology from
Abbott or his department. What
if a gun had gone off accidentally? What if one of us made
a wrong move and was shot?
The sheriff did not handle this
situation in a professional way.
I was going to file a complaint, but I know that the justice system will not hold the
sheriff’s department responsible. The sheriff’s department
took an oath to protect and
serve, but at this rate I am more
afraid of it than the real criminals. They also have harassed
innocent people many times
and gotten away with it.
I hope that this will not
happen to someone else and I
pray that it will not happen to
us again.

Don’t de-mystify
Christianity
To the Editor:
In last week’s Sentinel in the
letter titled “Jesus was theologically liberal,” the salient is the
sentence ending in: “and my
mother . . . was not a virgin.”
Bultmann gained notoriety by
his efforts to “demythologize”
Christianity. The forever effort
to reduce Christianity to a rational, materialistic pedagogy,
eliminating its mystical, spiritual nature and thus the divinity
of Jesus, the Christ, or Shekhinah, must stumble today on
quantum physics where magnification of supposed matter
shows that there is none. There
is a “wave potential,” which
is influenced by the observer,
leading some researchers to
speculate that there is now a
confluence of science and religion. Some feel nowadays that
reality is, indeed, mind, spirit.
(As Christianity teaches.)
To de-mystify Christianity
is to remove the beauty and
hope from the dogma. Remove
the melody from music, the
color from art, the cadence
and obscurity from poetry, the
mystery from Christianity and
you have “salt which has lost
its savor.” Just like Bultmann’s
and the writer’s vapid, bland
porridge, unflavored by faith
and hope.
Take heart! Jesus the Christ
is as real today as He was 2,000
“man” years ago.
Merry Christmas and love.

needed and can be left at the
Sentinel back door in Urbanna.
This
Saturday
morning,
December 12, will be the last
gift-wrapping session and a
few more wrappers are needed.
Call 758-2328 to volunteer.
Also needed are three more
delivery vans for Saturday,
December 19. If you have a
van and are willing to remove
its back seats and be the driver
for one of 10 delivery teams on
December 19, please call 7582328.
Volunteer shoppers are finishing their work and many also
have wrapped the presents they
purchased. A special thank-you
goes to several shoppers who
did “double duty” shopping
for last-minute recipients, said
Christmas Friends secretary
and shopping director Bettie
Lee Gaskins. The most shoppers in the 24-year history of
Christmas Friends have participated this year, she added.
So far this season, $28,900
has been spent by Christmas
Friends shoppers, said Gaskins.
“Donations are needed because
this year we’ve helped more
people than ever,” she said.
“It’s been great!”
All this week, Cyndy’s Bynn
in Urbanna is donating 10 percent of each sale to Christmas
Friends, said owner Betsy
Bristow. “We selected Christmas Friends for the donation
because it’s a county-wide program,” she said.
Since its creation in 1986, a
key ingredient to the success of
Christmas Friends has been its
partnership with the Middlesex
County Department of Social
Services, which carefully
screens all applicants for eligibility. Applicants must meet
strict income guidelines.
The fund-raising goal for
Christmas Friends this year is
$25,000, the same as last year.
The community responded
generously
and
donated
$32,939.82 last year, which has
enabled Christmas Friends to
serve more needy people this
year and increase the amount
allotted for gifts per recipient.
Last year, Christmas Friends
helped 280 low-income and
elderly residents of Middlesex
County, said Gaskins.
All funds donated to Christmas Friends go directly to help
the needy children and disabled or low-income elderly of
Middlesex. All workers are volunteers and there are no administrative fees. Supplies such as
boxes, wrapping paper, tape,
copying paper, envelopes and
delivery bags are all donated
and volunteers supply storage
space, vans and fuel to assist
with the big delivery job.
Now in its 24th year, Christmas Friends is a 501(c)(3)
organization. Tax-deductible
The wrapping of Christmas Friends gifts got under way Saturday at the Southside Sentinel building in Urbanna. Wrapping gifts above are, clockwise from left, Sue Pociask of
the Middlesex Kiwanis Club, Lynn Bisogno, Fran Miller and

United Methodist Church, and Betty Coulson of Middlesex

A 2008 Taurus crashed
into the rear of a backhoe
tractor on Route 33 just
before 7 p.m. on Tuesday,
December 1, said Sergeant
G.T. Mathias of the Virginia
State Police.
Both vehicles were heading east in the left lane in
front of St. Clare Walker
Middle School at Locust
Hill.
The car’s driver, Winfree
Lloyd Jr., 80, of Hartfield,
told police he had slowed
for the new traffic light at
Route 620 that was flashing,
said Sgt. Mathias. He collided with the backhoe tractor about 200 feet past the
traffic light. The tractor was
being moved after a job.
The car was traveling just
below the 55 miles per hour
speed limit before the crash,
said Sgt. Mathias.
Lloyd’s injuries did not
appear to be life-threatening, said Sgt. Mathias,
and he was transported
to an area hospital by the
Middlesex County Volun-
Assaults . . .
The front end of the Ford Taurus above was smashed
when it ran into the back of a backhoe that was traveling
at a slow rate of speed on Route 33 near Locust Hill on

hosted an informational meeting last Wednesday in the town
hall. Some 50 citizens attended
but received very few details
about the crimes.
“We can’t comment on some
aspects of the case “because
several victim’s rights laws
come into play,” said Saunders.
The description of the suspect in both crimes is a slight
to medium build black man
5 feet 5 inches to 6 feet tall.
Saunders said the victims
could not give a better description because it was dark. In
both cases, the assailant gained
entrance through a back door.
Fingerprints and other forensic
evidence gathered at the scenes
are being processed.
“Hopefully, he’ll be in the
system,” said Kilmarnock chief
of police Mike Bedell.
If he doesn’t have a record,
it could take time to find him,
he said.
“Rumors of assaults of
young children or teenagers are
false,” said chief Bedell. “The
crimes do not go beyond what
the Rappahannock Record is
reporting. We are not withholding information. There has
been some random doorbell
ringing,” by young people as a
joke, he said. However, police
still respond to the calls.
Officials issued these safety

“If you hear something, call
911,” said county administrator
Bill Pennell. “You’re not disturbing the dispatcher.”
Middlesex Sheriff Guy
Abbott also recommends
“keeping your car alarm remote
with you. Pressing the ‘panic’
button will blow the car’s horn.
Your neighbors should hear it
and call police.”
Abbott also said neighbors
should check on each other.

Damage to the backhoe,
if any, was not apparent. Car
parts from the Taurus clung
to the back hoe after the
crash.
Fairheart also said school
officials are working closely
with the Virginia Department
of Education, Virginia Department of Health and Three
Rivers Health District to monitor student attendance and the
number of flu-related illnesses
within the school community.

ANIMAL SHELTER
Otis
6620 Jackson Lane (Off Sutton Rd.) Gloucester
0/"OX'LOUCESTER6As
Star Paws of the Week:
In the Cat Mall: Nicholas – this big, beautiful
medium haired two year old male is exceptional.
He looks like a Snowshoe, flame point mix
(cream/white with orange tipped ears. What a
sweetheart! Marty – about one year old, a DSH
grey/white tabby who has resided at GMHS since
August. Very playful.
In Our Dog Kennel - Potter – a stray – only
at the shelter a short time. He is a black/white,
neutered male Border Collie who wants to play
and have a job to do. Would be great for a high
energy family. Scarlett – about two years old,
a Chow/mix, female, medium sized dog and a
cutie.
Pet Tip - Christmas is not a good time to
introduce a new animal into a household. It is
best done after the holidays when things are
calmer and there is more time to help the animal
adjust to their new home.
My name is Otis and I have been at
the shelter since June 30. I came in
with my brother, Eros. We were strays
and no one looked for us. Anyway,
back to me… I am a happy, playful,
black and white, Lab/Boxer mix with
maybe some American Bulldog in
there too. Who knows for sure. I am
about one year old and the shelter
staff has already had me neutered. I
am heart worm negative and current
on all of my shots. My wish is to be
in a home with a family of my own. I
wish that could happen for all of my
friends in the shelter. Santa, please
tell someone to pick me.

Dec. 10, 2009 • Southside Sentinel • Urbanna, Va.• A5
at the library
by Sherry B. Inabinet
Executive Director
We are getting lots of traffic in our Deltaville
Christmas store and encourage you to try it out for
your holiday shopping. There are quilts, quilted
jackets, placemats, Lenox mugs with spiced tea
mix, other mugs with hot chocolate mix,
painted glassware, floor clothes,
small decorated trees, recipe
cards with holders, baked goods,
Madame Alexander and other
dolls, prints and notecards from
artist Pamela Waldron, loads of
nautical and other ornaments, etc.
There are also ornaments and a few
gift items at Urbanna. The library benefits from each sale.
The library received an unpleasant and unanticipated shocker last week. We must purchase a
new computer server with a price tag of $7,226.
The price allows for a server that anticipates
all future network needs for the next 5-6 years.
We did not include the cost for the server in our
budget for this fiscal year.
So that we do not have to cut even further our
books and audio-visual purchases, we are asking
you to help us out with end-of-the-year donations. The library is a 501(c)(3) organization
and all donations are tax-deductible. We will be
happy to provide any donation documentation
that you may need for filing your taxes.
Computers are essential to everything we
Mr. Edwards, Miss Jones exchange vows
do at the library. Many of our patrons, some
who may own a computer, use the library for
our high speed internet connection. For others
the library offers them the only free access to
computers and the internet in our county. More
and more companies will only accept online job
applications and resumes. Every day we have
patrons who complete job applications online. Also, on a daily
basis, patrons complete forms
for unemployment compensation and other benefits.
Over 800 individuals use
our computers about 900
hours each month. Our 1
gigabyte server cannot handle
the 2-3 gigabytes it is being asked
to process. The result is many database
crashes, causing none of our circulation and
cataloging system to work and other functions
to perform very slowly.
When you come to the library please take time
to tell us about the best book you have read this
year, as well as other 2009 nonfiction and fiction that you particularly liked. We would also
like to know who your three favorite authors are
and your all-time favorite book.
In the holiday frenzy that many of us experience, please remember to take some time out
for relaxation and fun. Curl up with a good
book and your favorite beverage. Get plenty of
rest and exercise, and try to stay healthy.
Happy reading!

middlesex lions club news
by Sally Stewart
Lion Gary Rapier, District
Governor for District 24 D Virginia, recently inducted two new
members into the Middlesex
Lions Club. We welcome them.
Lion Rapier began by reminding us that we are, without question, part of an organization that
does make a difference in our
world today. All Lions Clubs
make up a group of ‘great
hearted’ people who come
together to find ways to help
others in big and small ways.
Some of these ways are close
to “miracles,” said Lion Rapier.
He told the story of a young lady
who came to tell her story at a
recent Lions International Convention. The woman had been
blind since birth, and all her life
the Lions Club in her community
had been there to help her. They
taught her braille, and she learned

“The Woman’s Auxiliary of

last Friday evening. What a great
evening we had. The weather was
great.
“We want to thank our cosponsor, The Town of Urbanna,
which helps us make this event
and Family Fun Day (in September) possible each year for all to
enjoy. Thank you to Sheriff Guy
Abbott and his office and to the
Virginia State Police for all of
their help each year.
“Thanks to our grand marshals,
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Rowe, and
to Mrs. Mildred Womble who
also helped make our evening
special.
“We also want to thank Urbanna
Market, Pitts Lumber, Bethpage
Camp-Resort, Southside Sentinel, Wild Bunch, and county
employees Charlie Culley, Kevin
Gentry and Glen Nix who work
very hard to help us.
“We thank Church View Septic
Systems, EVB, and Mr. and Mrs.
Mullins for the use of their parking lot to line the parade up.
“We also thank our entertainers this year, ‘Nate Sparks and
the Pamunkey River Ramblers,’
to all our carolers who performed
at our town Christmas tree, to Mr.
White who donated the town tree,
and to all who donated a light in
honor of or in memory of a special person.
“We appreciate Mr. Tom
Davis and all who participated
in the parade. A job well done as
always. Thank you also to Gary
Thimsen for his train display.
“I want to thank Judy Pitts and
all of her staff who help with the
judges each year. The judges were
Ron Jefferies of WIGO radio station, and Bill and Shannon Smith
from Kilmarnock and the Sports
Centre.
“Thank you to Ken Rogers
and his staff who help me put the
parade on the road each year. An
outstanding job!
“We can’t thank our firemen and all of our extra helpers enough. They worked hard
to help us set up, clean up and
cook.
“We also want to thank Santa
and Mrs. Claus for fitting us in
their schedule. I know the children had a lot of wishes and lists
to take back to the North Pole.
“We also want to thank everyone who has worked very hard
and long hours to make our town
look so beautiful this year,” said
Brooks.
