Lancaster’s major baseball all-star team
finishes season as tournament runner-up
by Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi
Despite losing in the District XV
tournament championship, the Lancaster County Little League Major
Baseball All-Star team turned in the
best post season in Lancaster County
Little League history.
Unbeaten Essex went 5-0 and beat
Lancaster, 15-2, in the final last week,
ending a 22-game, 12-team tournament that spanned 12 days courtesy
of two rain outs and the 4th of July
holiday. Lancaster hosted the tournament at Dream Fields in Kilmarnock.
As the tournament runner-up,
Lancaster went 5-2 and battled back
from a first round loss, 8-7, to Essex.
Lancaster dropped into the loser’s
bracket, but won five straight games
to advance to the championship.
“We took the longest possible road
to the championship game,” said
Lancaster manager Brandon Kellum.
After dropping into the loser’s
bracket, Lancaster routed Caroline,
16-1, and got by Westmoreland, 4-2.
Against Caroline, Lancaster pitched
Jayden Chapman, Zach Rhodes,
Michael Branson and Daniel Smith.
Nick Wohleking, Luke Simpson,
Branson, Chapman and Smith combined on the mound against Westmoreland.
Lancaster also beat SpotsylvaniaNational, 12-2, before pulling off its
biggest two wins of the tournament,
according to Kellum.
Wohleking pitched all six innings
for a 6-3 win over King William and
Simpson got the win in an 11-9 victory over Mathews in the tournament
semifinal.
Chapman started on the mound and
went five innings against Mathews
before Simpson came to the mound
after a three-run Lancaster comeback in the top of the sixth. Mathews
was leading, 9-8, after five when
Parker Smith and Wohleking led off
Lancaster’s last at bat with singles.
Marshall Lee hit a two-run single

10-9 lead and Simpson hit a triple

Simpson fanned two batters and took
Mathews four-up-three-down in the

“That was a big win for us,” said
Kellum. “Really, this tournament
was a whole-team effort. All 13
guys stepped up at different times
throughout the tournament. They
came together and played with
heart and as a team. They played
for each other.”

2015 ICYCC sailing
camp is in full swing
The sailing program at Indian Creek Yacht Club is half way
through its summer season. Perfect wind conditions most days
and keen young sailors have made the program happy and productive, reported Premier Sailing director Arabella Denvir.
The June 22 through 26 session was a beginners course during
which many new sailors were created, said Denvir.
The following week, a new adventure week entailed sailing
to daily destinations and getting to know all the small inlets and
creeks of the Indian Creek area, she said. Some generous club
members offered their homes and beaches as landing stages for
lunch breaks.
July 6 through 10 was a race training and intermediate week
to improve and test the skills of sailors who had already taken
courses in previous years.
Two more beginner weeks are scheduled and are fully booked
with lots of brand new sailors, but there are still some spaces in
the Intermediate and race training course, which includes racing

Chris McCreery, a Registered Nurse at Rappahannock
Westminster-Canterbury, will
be the featured speaker at a
Mind & Muscle presentation
August 3.
McCreery will speak on the
connection between health and
nutrition and the importance
of good nutrition for overall
well-being. Her presentation
will begin at 11 a.m. in the
Chesapeake Center, 132 Lancaster Drive, Irvington.
McCreery has worked in
RW-C’s Assisted Living Center
for three years. During her 38
years as a Registered Nurse,
she has come to see the value
of eating the right foods.
“Our nutrition, coupled with
exercise and lifestyle habits,
has the greatest impact on our
health,” she said.
The U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services
has found that improper diet
is a leading cause of deaths.
It is a leading risk factor in
'LVMW1G'VIIV]
heart disease, cancer, stroke,
and diabetes. More than 100
million Americans are overweight, 50 million have high
blood pressure and nearly 16
million have diabetes. Most
are on medications to control
or alleviate the ill effects of
these conditions.
McCreery believes many
people would not require
drugs if they changed their diet
and became more proactive in
managing their lifestyle.
“If we live right, we won’t
need too much medication,”
she said.
From its inception in 2012,
the Mind & Muscle program
has been open to everyone in
the area regardless of age, said
resident program development
coordinator Amy Lewis.
“At RW-C we see ourselves
as a resource for the entire
community, and we hope
everyone will take advantage of these presentations to
improve their own health and
wellness,” said Lewis.
A complimentary buffet luncheon will be served following
the presentation. Reservations
are required. Call 438-4000
on, or after July 20.

Regatta planning committee co-chairmen Joel Dugan
and George Bott recently welcomed four new members,
Kimberly Vail, Barbara Ohanesian, Melise Graham and Adrienne Green.
Vail is a member of the
Rappahannock River Yacht
Club in Irvington, and Ohanesian, Graham and Green are
members of the Yankee Point

Lancaster.
The clubs jointly host the
annual Hospice Turkey Shoot
Regatta to be held October 2
through 4 from Carters Creek

Tom Chapman, co-race chair
with Jerry Latell, noted the
Turkey Shoot, affiliated with
the National Hospice Alliance,
is the largest Hospice regatta in
the country. He also stated that
it is the largest regatta of any
kind on the southern bay.
“We are expecting over 100
boats again this year,” said
Chapman.
Dugan said Graham would
be taking on responsibility for
Turkey Shoot publicity. He
noted the regatta’s budget is
very limited in this area and
said that it would be a challenge for Graham to seek cre-

Six JROTC cadets graduate
from officer leadership school
Six Lancaster High School JROTC cadets
recently attended the Mountaineer Cadet Officer
Leadership School (MCOLS) on the Concord University campus in Athens, W.Va.
This year’s MCOLS was attended by 220 JROTC
cadets from 20 high schools across eight states,
reported retired Chief Master Sgt. James Wood
Their day started at 5 a.m. with physical training,
to include a mile run, and ended at 9 p.m. with taps,
said Chief Master Sgt. Wood. The cadets engaged
in a myriad of leadership, survival, problem-solving, team-building, military drill and physical training activities.
Graduation requirements consisted of successfully completing a performance fitness test involving five exercises to include a timed one-mile
run, marching a group of fellow cadets through a
demanding 33-step drill sequence in exact order,
mastering rope bridge and land navigation, passing
daily uniform and room inspections, and passing an
end-of-course leadership exam.
LHS cadets met or exceeded all requirements
and each has been awarded the Air Force JROTC
Summer Leadership School and Cadet Orienteering Ribbon.
“We attended MCOLS last year for our first time
and hope to continue attending with even more
cadets next year,” said Chief Master Sgt. Wood.
“Our unit could not have sent as many cadets this
year were it not for the incredible support of the
parents, school leadership and local service organizations.”
This year’s attendance fees were paid by two
generous veteran organizations, the Northern Neck
Chapter of the Military Officers Association and
Kilmarnock American Legion Post 86.
“Our six cadets were outstanding JROTC, school
and county representatives and are to be commended,” he said. “Their dedication and commitment is quite evident as each graduate successfully
exhibited the spirit and intent of our Air Force Core
Value, Excellence In All We Do.”
STEM Boost construction project
expands summer learning experience The Northumberland County
Elementary School’s Extended
Year Program recently collaborated with the Northumberland
Association of Progressive Stewardship (NAPS) to offer a STEM
(science, technology, engineering
and math) Boost program.
Students in grades 3 through
5 were given a Lego interlocking
plastic brick toy construction kit
and assigned the task of creating
a structure to go in a community,
explained fifth-grade teacher
Pamela Woolard. The students
had to imagine the structure and
then build it using only pieces
provided in the kit.
NAPS volunteers Lee Allain,
Rita Johnson, Mike Harwood,
Nannette Smith, Joe Thompson,
Kathy Pitts and Garfield Parker
visited the school three days a
week and provided support for
the students in their constructive
efforts.
On the final day, each grade
level assembled their structures
into a community, connected by

Omega Protein releases video of proclamation signing
A video released July 9 from
Omega Protein chronicles Gov.
Terry McAuliffe’s June visit to
the company’s Reedville fishing facility.
On June 4, Gov. McAuliffe
visited the Reedville plant to
sign a proclamation officially
setting the Commonwealth’s
menhaden harvest level at
158,700 metric tons, a 10%
increase over last year’s levels.
He praised Omega Protein’s
sustainable operations and the
company’s economic input to
the Northern Neck, noting the
results of the proclamation
alone will likely create dozens
of new jobs.
“The fishing industry, and
what this means for the Commonwealth of Virginia for economic activity, for futures for
these families and their children, is so important, so I was
glad to sign the proclamation
today,” said Gov. McAuliffe
in the video. “The menhaden
fishing industry is so impor-

tant to the Commonwealth. and create jobs, but at the same
We’re preserving and doing time we’re doing our part to
what we need to do to preserve protect the bay.”
The harvest increase comes
as a result of the latest Atlantic States Marine Fisheries
Commission menhaden stock
assessment, released in January. The assessment found
the fishery is being operated
sustainably, with menhaden
neither being overfished nor
experiencing overfishing. The
Commission later voted in
May to increase harvest levels
coastwide by 10%.
Reedville and the Northern
Neck area have for many years
been the center of the Atlantic
menhaden fishery. The town
anchors America’s fifth most
productive port by volume.
Today Omega Protein remains
one of the region’s largest
employers and the company
has roots in the community
stretching back over a century.
“This plant has been here for
over a hundred years. We have
employees here who are fifthand sixth-generation, who built
this company, right here in
Reedville, from being a simple
fertilizer factory to one of the
world’s leading, most vertically
integrated and trusted suppliers
of human nutrients and animal
nutrition,” said vice president
of fishing operations Monty
Deihl in remarks delivered at
the governor’s signing.
Omega Protein’s Reedville
facility continues to innovate in its second century of
operation. It has taken steps
to reduce its water usage, as
well as embarking on pioneering efforts to reduce fossil fuel
consumption by using renewable diesel oil. The company
remains an active member of
the Reedville community, with
its employees regularly volunteering with local charities.
The governor’s proclamation
strengthens the long-running
ties between Omega Protein
and the community.

Laundromat reopens
Community members gathered July 6 to celebrate the reopening of the SpeedWash, 110 Irvington Road, Kilmarnock. The
building experienced a fire in December 2014 that forced the
business to close.
SpeedWash owner Joe Hudnall, in conjunction with the owner
of the building, Chesapeake Bank, decided to rebuild.
“The absence of SpeedWash impacted many Kilmarnock residents after the fire. Chesapeake Bank and Joe Hudnall wanted
to bring back the business, understanding the importance of a
convenient and affordable laundromat to our community. Chesapeake Bank is excited that we could help SpeedWash reopen the
doors to its local customers,” said Chesapeake Bank executive
vice president John O’Shaughnessy.
Project foreman David Jones of Connemara Corporation
spearheaded the operation that was filled with local talent. After
the renovations, SpeedWash is now equipped with 14 washers,
and 12 dryers and they plan to have twice that number up and
running by September. Businesses involved in the SpeedWash
renovation included Ace Hardware, Boswell Glass, Clark Roofing, Doggett Disposal, Hanley Electric, Lamberth Building
Material, Mill End Carpet, Noblett Appliances, Northern Neck
Mechanical, R. E. Michaels and Urbanna Lumber.

The Artisans Center of Virginia (ACV), in partnership
with community members in
Lancaster,
Northumberland,
Richmond, Westmoreland and
King George counties recently
named a new “trail” in the
region. There were many good
suggestions, noted Northern
Neck Planning District Commission economic director and
tourism coordinator Lisa Hull.
They picked “Northern Neck
Artisan Trail: Where water surrounds and creativity abounds.”
The Northern Neck Artisan
Trail will serve as a regional
trailway connecting destinations like craft artisans, fine artists, agri-artisans, aqua-artisans,
craft-related venues, supporting
sites, towns and counties that
have joined together to make it
a little easier for people to find
their workshops, art galleries,
studios, farms/produce stands
and places to stay, eat and shop
in the the five-county region,
said Hull.
With 39 trail sites already
signed on during the early-bird
preparation phase of the pro-
‘Sip & Learn’ event slated July 28
T
he next public gathering to learn about becoming a
trail site for “Northern Neck Artisan Trail: Where
water surrounds and creativity abounds” will begin at 4
p.m. July 28 at the Rappahannock Art League, 19 North
Main Street, Kilmarnock.
The trail’s upcoming “Best of the Northern Neck”
showcase and fundraising event also will be discussed.
The event will be held from noon to 5 p.m. October 10
at Rice Hotel/Hughlett’s Tavern in Heathsville.
Business representatives interested in the trail, or the
upcoming event, are urged to RSVP to [email protected]. Those who cannot make the “Sip
& Learn” gathering are also urged to email Artisans
Center of Virginia to get on the list for updates.
gram, the naming of the Trail
kicks off the “official” registration for trail sites, continued
Hull.
Although registration in the
program will continue, those
who wish to be included in
the trail’s launch brochure/map
must register by November 13.
The trail brochure/map will be
coming out in 2016. Meanwhile,
each participating site receives
its own distinctive online page
on the Artisans Center of Vir-
ginia/Northern Neck Artisan
Trail website and event/activity
promotions through the trail’s
Facebook page.
Along with promoting the
visibility of local creative and
agri/aquacultural artisan-related
businesses, the effort will provide an important boost to the
area’s general tourism industry
by encouraging extended visitor
stays and increasing the attractiveness as a connected visitor
destination.

Rowe awarded
brokers license
Cathy Rowe, of Select Properties of Virginia, was recently
awarded her real estate brokers
license.
Rowe has been with Select
Properties for almost 10 years
when she initially got into the
real estate business.
“With the laws and regulations pertaining to the real
estate industry constantly
changing, it takes knowledge
and integrity to master those
changes and use them in the
day-to-day business practice,”
said Colleen Shaut, managing
broker for the Select properties
office in Irvington.
Rowe had to take an additional 180 classroom hours to
receive her brokers license.
“It speaks volumes as to
Cathy’s commitment to her clients to take the time to get this
license and all of us at Select
Properties are very proud
of her accomplishment,” said
Shaut.
