Virginia’s Li’l Ole Opry will open its stage Saturday, July 22, to some of the best local “unknown” talent around for the year’s only Talent Search Extravaganza.

The show will feature the house band, Shades of Country and all of the Opry singers during the first half. Then, for the second half of the show, contestants will per-form songs that they have chosen and rehearsed with the band for a chance to win the trophy as the 2017 Talent Search Champion.

The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Harry M. Ward Auditorium at Mathews High School, 9889 Buckley Hall Road, Mathews.

“We have a wonderful line-up of performers for this show. It always amazes me to see how much talent there is in this area,” said manager Lynda Smith Greve.

The contestants’ ages start at 8 years old and go up, said Greve. Some performers are completely new to the stage and some are sea-soned veterans.

Tickets are $12 for adults and $5 for children ages 12 and younger. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Mathews Visitor Center and Beach Bum BBQ in Mathews and Marketplace Antiques in Hayes. Tickets also will be available at the door on show night.

Auditions will be held at 7 p.m. July 25 and 26 for “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spell-ing Bee” at the Lancaster Players Playhouse, 361 Chesapeake Drive, White Stone.

No previous experience is neces-sary, just a willingness to act and sing on stage, said director Robin Blake.

The musical is about contestants in a spelling bee who are all anx-iously competing. Each contestant has their own story to tell, through a song.

Adults will be cast in the roles as children, which will make the play that much more entertaining, said Blake. It promises to be a lot of fun.

There are plenty of roles for both males and females, she said. Every-one is urged to audition.

Show dates are November 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17 and 18.

Call Blake at 435-1005.

The Deltaville Maritime Museum & Holly Point Nature Park will host its 15th annual Family Boatbuilding Week Fish Fry from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, July 22, at the Maritime Park, 287 Jackson Creek Road, Delta-ville.

The annual fish fry follows the Family Boatbuilding Week’s Great Skiff Race with festivities beginning at 10 a.m. The race, trophy presentation and fish fry are all open to the public. To-go and á la carte orders are available.

The fish fry also coincides with Holly Point Market from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The fish fry will be served at Billz Bistro

in the north wing of the event’s pavil-ion. The bistro will open at 8 a.m. for their new BistroBenedictBloodyMary-Brunch. David’s Snak-Shak will serve hamburgers, barbecue and french fries on the waterfront.

The fish fry menu will include trout fillets, hot dogs, cole slaw, chips and tea. Plates are $10 for adults and $5 for children under 12. Advance fish fry tickets can be purchased at Nauti-Nell’s or the museum office. Call the museum for advance to-go orders and to arrange pickup time. 776-7200.

“This is a great opportunity to get out early, grab breakfast, do some

shopping, catch the hijinks at the Great Skiff Race and the offbeat humor of the trophy presentations. Afterwards, you can grab a tasty brunch or fish fry and still have your whole afternoon free to do whatever,” said museum spokesman Bill Powell.

The museum and gift shop will open at 9 a.m.

The Robbin Steele Band takes the pavilion stage at 11 a.m.

A Groovin’ in the Park concert will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Folk artist Paige Melton will open the show, fol-lowed by the four-part harmonies of the Taters at 6 p.m.

The Lancaster by the Bay Chamber on Saturday, July 22, will host the second

annual Rhythm and Brews by the Bay, a music, food and craft beer event, at the Kilmarnock Town Centre Park, 150 North Main Street, Kilmarnock.

Gates will open and food and drink service will begin at 4 p.m. Music will begin 5 p.m. and con-tinue to 10 p.m. Three bands, Beer Money, Pretty Heavy and The Tron-gone Band will grace the Half Shell Stage.

“The Lancaster by the Bay Cham-ber is thrilled to bring such amazing talent to this event,” said executive director Anne Paparella.

The Trongone Band from Rich-mond headlines the show. Trong-one offers a mix of Southern rock and soul and Americana jam. The band features brothers Andrew and Johnny Trongone, Ben “Wolfe” White and Todd Herrington. The band recently released a new CD, “Keys to the House.”

Pretty Heavy is a local favorite toting original rock and roll. Mem-bers include Justin Burke, Bailey Horsley, Ricky Carrillo and Bradley Walker.

Another local favorite, Beer Money is best described as a high energy party band. Members include Richie Burgess, Bill Rosalia, Michael Painter and Joe Jones.

Macedonia Community Develop-ment Corporation, Inc. (MACorp) will celebrate and close its 2017 summer youth camps with an event featuring guest speaker Dr. Christine Darden at 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 26 at Macedonia Baptist Church, 10246 Northumberland Highway, Heaths-ville.

Darden is a retired National Aero-nautics and Space Administration (NASA) data analyst, mathematician and engineer. In 1967, she was added to the pool of “human computers” who crunched numbers at NASA’s Langley Research Center.

Darden, who lives in Hampton, is among the women whose contribu-tions are featured in the book, Hidden Figures: The Story of the African American Women Who Helped Win the Space Race, by Margot Lee Shet-terly (2016). The movie, “Hidden Figures” (2016), was based on the book.

Darden worked for NASA for 40 years. As her career progressed, she became technical leader of NASA’s Sonic Boom Group, where she was

Camp closeout event will feature NASA engineer Dr. Christine Darden

responsible for developing the sonic boom research program internally at NASA.

Born in a poor mill town in North Carolina to parents who valued edu-cation, Darden earned a bachelor’s in mathematics from Hampton Univer-sity, a master’s in applied mathemat-ics from Virginia State University

Lecture slated August 6 on prehistoric Indians

and a doctorate in mechanical engi-neering from George Washington University. She retired from NASA in 2007 as director of the Office of Strategic Communication and Edu-cation.

The closeout event will mark the conclusion of MACorp’s Girls’ Empowerment Camp (G.E.C.) and Camp S.W.A.G for boys, reported MACorp executive director Tracey L. Harding. Earlier this year, some of the youth who attended this year’s camps had the opportunity to attend a special screening of “Hidden Fig-ures,” before its release to the public.

The event is significant because of the opportunity to hear Darden speak and because it will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Girls’ Empower-ment Camp and the fifth anniversary of Camp S.W.A.G., said Harding. As part of the program, some of this year’s campers will share their camp experiences.

The public is welcome to attend this event. Light refreshments will be served. The event also is being orga-nized as a fundraiser and while there is no fee for attending, donations of any size will be gratefully accepted. Envelopes and collection baskets will be provided.

50th wedding anniversary

Anniversary celebration

Celebrating 100

The August Arts Alive! exhibit at the Northumberland Public Library, 7204 Northum-berland Highway, Heathsville, will feature 20 images by photographer Robert “Bob” Coles focused on landscapes, cityscapes and nature subjects.

The Friends of the Library will host an Arts Alive Friday! reception from 5 to 7 p.m. August 4.

Coles says he started taking pictures in high school, but got away from the hobby to take up a business career.

“In the 1980s my wife Gena suggested that I needed more outside interests, so I got back into photography. In film days I had a small monochrome darkroom, but I mostly shot slide film. In 2001 I switched to digital,” said Coles.

At first he focused on land-scape, nature, travel and wild-life. Today, he is doing less wildlife and working on doing more people, he said.

“The real answer is I will shoot anything I find interest-ing,” said Coles.

He believes in staying faith-ful to what he sees, although he does remove wires, poles or other elements that detract from the main subject or com-position, he added.

■St. Paul’s Catholic Mission,

Hague, will serve its 40th annual spaghetti dinner from 5 to 7:30 p.m. August 4. The menu will include salad, spa-ghetti with meat sauce, bread, wine, beverages and dessert.

Advance tickets are $10 for adults and $6 for children. Tickets at the door are $12 for adults and $7 for children. To-go meals will be available.

■Tickets are on sale for the

sixth annual Irvington Crab Fes-tival August 12 on the Irving-ton Commons, 98 King Carter Drive, Irvington. Grounds will open at 4 p.m. and crabs will be served at 5 p.m. The Legacy Band will rock the crowd. Beer and wine will be available for purchase and there will be a silent auction.

Tickets are $50 for adults and $10 for ages 12 and younger. Ticket prices are subject to increase based on crab avail-ability. To purchase tickets, visit the Steamboat Era Museum, 156 King Carter Drive, Irving-ton, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays or Saturdays, or go to steamboateramuseum.org. No tickets will be sold at the door.

August Arts Alive! to feature photo exhibit

Coles grew up in Northum-berland County and has lived in the Richmond area since the early 1960s. He currently resides at Westminster Canter-bury Richmond and continues to serve on the board of his former real estate appraisal and consulting firm.

Since returning to photog-raphy, he has taken courses at Virginia Commonwealth Uni-versity and has attended many workshops with leading pho-tographers. He has won sev-eral awards at photo exhibits in Virginia. Recent juried shows

include the 2017 Art Speaks on the Bay sponsored by the Bay School Community Art Center, Mathews and the 2016 Richmond Historical Society.

His photos have appeared in newspapers and brochures, as well as in corporate and

private collections. He was a co-founder of the Focus Group Camera Club in 1989 and a former board member of The International Leica Society.

Admission to the Arts Alive Friday! reception is free and refreshments will be served.

The Steamboat Era Museum on August 11 will host the third annual Captain’s Table Dinner. The event will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a wine, beer and hors d’oeuvres reception under the tent on the Irvington Commons, 98 King Carter Drive, Irvington.

Pianist David Graham will entertain on the keyboard while costumed docents lead small groups on VIP tours of the museum including new exhib-its for the 2017 season, reported executive director Barbara Brecher.

The reception will be followed by a three-course dinner catered by Jill and Larry Worth of Irving-ton.

Following the dinner, noted

singer, composer and keyboardist Ken Sparks will present a concert highlighting many of his original compositions celebrating the Northern Neck and the Chesa-peake Bay.

Tickets are $65 and may be purchased at 438-6888, or the Steamboat Era Museum, 156 King Carter Drive, Irvington.

Proceeds from this dinner will support the museum’s mission.

KILMARNOCK—Frances Gunther Ramzy, 84, passed away peacefully on July 11.

She was the daughter of Joseph and Emma Smith Gun-ther, and wife of retired U.S. Navy Capt. James Robert Ramzy, who predeceased her.

Mrs. Ramzy was born on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. She earned her bachelor’s in mathematics at Mary Wash-ington College in Fredericks-burg and master’s in history and master’s in post-secondary education from O.D.U. She taught in Maryland, California, Hawaii and Virginia, finishing her career with Norfolk Public Schools.

A lover of travel, Mrs. Ramzy visited Central America, Russia, Greece, Scandinavia, Ireland, England and all the countries of Europe. Of all the countries she visited, she loved the Far East the best, because it was the most different from her other experi-ences; she loved to be chal-lenged and was utterly unafraid of adventure. She also loved sailing and loved the ocean as “very soothing and yet invigo-rating and very beautiful.”

She is survived by daughters Ann Ramzy Arumäe, Susan Frances Ramzy and Catherine Ramzy Harrison; by grand-children Sean Robert Arumäe

and Zachary James Harrison, Caitlin Harrison March and Alicia Arumäe Owens, and by four great-grandchildren Jaxon, Sloane, Scarlet and Kent. She is also survived by her beloved aide and friend Kattrell Diane Lewis.

This started a lifelong career as a U. S. Merchant Marine, where he sailed on tankers at the start of World War II. His brother, Raymond, died when a German U-boat sank the tanker he was aboard.

Palmer’s mother made him

promise to join the U.S. Coast Guard as a safer alterna-tive. Once the war was over, he returned to the life of a Merchant Marine where he remained until 1959.

At that time, he took a job in the Marine Department at Southern Materials Corpo-ration in Norfolk. There he remained for over 25 years until he retired. During his retirement, he continued to help family and friends for the remainder of his life.

He will be missed.A graveside service will be

held at 1 p.m. today, Thursday, July 20, at White Stone United Methodist Church Cemetery, White Stone, Va. Family will receive friends from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. today at Currie Funeral Home, Kilmar-nock.

Fairfields Baptist Church children donated 542 pounds of non-perishable food to the Northern Neck Food Bank (NNFB) in June. The food was collected during vacation Bible school, June 26 through 29.

“Each year we identify a ministry to support as the children’s mission project for the week,” said pastor Randy McCollum. This year the group collected non-perishable food items to ben-efit the NNFB with monetary donations also collected to benefit partner food pantries at Wicomico United Methodist Church and Gleamers and Blenders.

“We are thankful for the support of our local community and the work this group did to involve young children in helping those in need in our region,” said NNFB director of develop-ment Cindy Balderson. “This type of project goes a long way in helping us fulfill our mission of providing healthy nutritious foods for those in need in the communities we serve.”

Rev. John Farmer has been the pastor at Irving-ton Baptist Church since 1986.

As a kid, my feet were the happi-est when toes escaped shoes, so I could dangle them in a warm, wet, boggy shore. I even liked wading in mud. Yet I’d be a bit cautious where nature drew a blanket over the water. Green blanketed water harbors things that slip and slide through life. Never did my toes appreciate such acquaintances. Thus, in my youth, when life welcomed me waterside, I tried to find a place to introduce my toes to the wet-lands.

Alas, now in my antiquity, open toed sandals are about as risky as I dare. It is far too burdensome to shed socks and shoes without a safe resting spot, which allows creaky bones and retired muscles to sit. If such were the case, getting back upright would negate the effort…

While living in northwest Tennessee decades ago, I would ache for things Tide-water. My heart longed for the Northern Neck. So, nothing to do but get closer to water: any kind of water, even mud puddles. Thin shal-low brown rivers, which nipped at the levies were even OK.

Both the Nile and the Tennessee Rivers flow north, dump into other bodies of water then journey to the sea. From the Nile, over to the Suez Canal there are persecuted Coptic Christians. It is rumored that they have unique information rela-tive to the first century Christian Church locked away in their sanctuaries and hid amongst their private libraries. They are quite closed-mouth about the issue and about the family of Jesus who might have lodged there.

Along the Tennessee rivers, many Chris-tians adhere to free experiential expres-sions of faith. Gospel music lubricates the exploding sermons and ejaculatory prayers. It takes a certain amount of stamina to worship in those houses of faith.

In the early 1800s, the mighty Missis-sippi changed course: actually, ran back-wards for a spell. (Tell me God doesn’t have a sense of humor.) God shook the earth and a quake depressed the land along the shore, east of the Mississippi. A hole opened up. Between Lake and Obion Counties, near Tiptonville, Tenn., God pulled the River backwards to fill Reelfoot Lake. Some 20 miles long, five miles wide, it is a shallow body of water, ranging from about two to nine feet in depth. The lake drew its name from a 19th century Indian chief who had a bad foot.

The lake became a favorite sanctuary of mine. It was, and is, a grand place to meet God. All along its shore stand mighty Cyprus trees with their knobby knees thrust aloft to sip a bit of oxygen. The lake had so many roots and stumps barely sub-

merged that an interesting type of water-craft evolved. The boats I first saw there (ahead of the fiberglass explosion) were affectionately called stump-jumpers. A bit of a wedge rested just stern ahead of the prop and encouraged the boat to bounce over things lying below the waterline. They had small gas inboard engines, started by pull ropes. They looked a good bit like canoes, though wider. Those waters are calm for the most part, so the sides of the boats were low. With a bit of practice, one could dive off, swim about and jerk down on the sides and pop out of the water quick enough to keep from swamping the craft. I suspect I would sink everyone dare I tried that these days.

The 15,000-acre Reelfoot Lake was sequestered into the state fish and game preserve. Along its shores restaurants, bait houses and boat rental spots enliven many nature lovers. Water-hungry eyes of retirees—just like here on the Northern Neck—have grabbed much of the shore-line. However, vast parts of the region now

remain open to the public.

I used any excuse that I could to be around Reelfoot. When I found out that there were nesting American bald eagles in the area I organized frequent church safaris. We would drive slow through the bean and

cornfields, cross over the shallow muddy regional rivers and eventually pop in to a clearing where the State of Tennessee had built a pavilion. Fried catfish, hush pup-pies, chopped raw onions, bacon grease-wilted lettuce salads and meringue-covered pies fueled the tourists well enough.

After lunch and a bird-watching bus ride, I would retreat to the pavilion to meander slow about the piers and terraces constructed along the shore. High safety railings with wide bench seats made pleas-ant spots to stop, look and listen. Those were easy meditation areas. Deep voiced toads sang. Jumping fish, ducks, geese and wiggly creatures would unzip the waters.

Late spring, early summer, that portion of the lake greens over with duckweed (little pearls which laced themselves tight across the water). It gave the illusion that you could step out on the water and free of the piers and walks, float across the lake.

Jesus once walked along the shore and instructed some lake fisherman as how to increase their haul. One chap stepped out upon the water and flitted across the lake, until that is; he took his eyes off the Lord.

My time along every shore is devoted to thanking our creator for the view.

CBC Youth Group pursues mission trip

Cave quest

One.”The youth worked in three

different locations in North Charleston and downtown Charleston, reported Denise Cromer.

After completing a day of clearing and designing a garden at the Shaw Center,

these amazing youth pooled their mission offering and shopped for plants at Home Depot, said Cromer. Three youth from CBC purchased extra needed gardening tools for the kids with their own extra money.

They then delivered and planted them for the boys and girls to enjoy and take ownership in, as they water and care for them, she said. Squash, zucchini, cucumbers and mosquito plants made for a wonderful garden.

This marks the fourth annual mission trip of the CBC Youth Group, said Cromer, who thanked CBC and the community for their spiritual and financial support in this endeavor.
