Yankee Point Racing and Cruising Club (YPRCC) recently won the
Rappahannock Cup for a second year running.
YPRCC edged out Rappahannock River Yacht Club (RRYC) 69 to 75
during compe-tition October 16 and 18. Fourteen sailboats
participated.
Winds built as the three races progressed, reported YPRCC
publicist Melise Graham. Boats that did well in the light breeze on
Satur-day faced heavier going on Sunday with gusts better than 20
knots. Surprisingly, the smaller boats did well later in the wind
and chop.
The RRYC dominated the spinnaker class, with Tom Chapman in Hot
Air leading over Arabella Denvir in Rattlesnake and Sam Mar-shall
in Play it Again. In the non-spinnaker class, first-place went to
Don and Suzanne Scheu in Albino.
Ron Milhills in Anthem placed second and Warren Hottle’s Cygnet
took third.
John McConnico and John Henley served as principal race
officers.
This Rappahannock Cup Regatta contin-ues a 32-year tradition of
competition among yacht clubs on the river.

up to serve on the race com-mittees; and Bob Mason, editor of the
Rappahannock Record, for providing an excellent vehicle for the
pro-motion of the Typhoon Fleet.

Lancaster High School cel-ebrated senior night and its only home
field hockey game of the season last Wednesday. The Nor-thumberland
High Lady Indians shut out the Lady Devils, 3-0, in a junior
varsity game.
Lancaster didn’t have enough players to field a varsity team
this season and instead combined its junior varsity and varsity
teams to play a limited schedule against the NHS JV and
Christchurch School.
“We are a very young and developing team,” said coach Becky
Webb. “Most of our girls had never played a field hockey game until
our first game on October 5.
“But the girls have worked extremely hard learning the sport and
the rules of the game. I’ve relied heavily on my returners to help
and encourage the beginning players.”
The Lady Indians scored two first-half goals and put another in
the net in the second half. Natalie Webb, Hannah Loving and Jean
Jett scored a goal each for NHS.
Senior Mikayla Meadows and sophomore Ashleigh Sanford took one
shot on goal each to lead Lancaster’s offense.
Eighth-grade goalie Annie Smith had eight saves.
Meadows is one of three seniors on the team. Others include
defenders Emma Kane and Emily Haydon. Kane and Haydon, along with
Sanford and sophomore forward Leanne Nyugen, are the only returners
on the team. However, Nguyen has been injured for much of the
season.
Newcomers include Meadows; sophomores, defender Kelsi Ash-burn
and forward Emilee Web-ster; freshman forward Breanne Self; and
eighth-graders, mid-fielder Hannah Wilmer, defender Shauna Clayton
and forward Ellie Bavuso.
Christchurch beat the Lady Devils, 7-0, on October 5 with
Meadows taking two shots on goal to lead the LHS offense. In her
debut performance in goal, Smith had eight saves in the first half
and another 14 in the second for 22 on the night.
Two games against Northum-berland’s JV team were post-poned and
make-up dates haven’t been set, said Webb.

can be increased and the color modified. The term karat is used to
designate the proportion of fine gold to metal alloy. On a scale of
24, 14 karat gold is 14 parts gold and 10 parts other metals. On
ANY scale, your best gold jewelry buys can be made right here in

Lancaster High School will sponsor an Education Credit
Management Corpora-tion (ECMC) College Night for juniors, seniors
and their parents/guardians at 6 p.m. November 4, at Lancaster
Middle School, 191 School Street, Kilmarnock.
Juniors and seniors from both Lancaster and Nor-thumberland high
schools are invited to attend, said college advisor Nia Wilson.
Students in attendance will have the opportunity to learn more
about the college application process and have a chance to win one
of three $500 schol-arships. Winners must be present in order to
receive their scholarship.
ECMC College Night will provide participants with information on
how going to college can change their lives, how to choose the
right col-lege for them, how to navigate the financial aid process,
and how to search for scholarships and avoid scams, said
Wilson.
There also will be pizza and beverages available to all juniors,
seniors and two of their guests, she said.

Three Northern Neck teens are candidates for 2016 Youth of the
Year at the Boys and Girls Club of the Northern Neck (BGCNN).
They will be introduced to BGCNN supporters and com-munity
leaders November 4 at the Steak & Burger Dinner at the BGCNN
Recreational Center in Kilmarnock.
The candidates will briefly speak to guests at the dinner about
how the BGCNN values have motivated them and what it would mean to
each of them personally if they were selected as Youth of the
Year.
The candidates are Elijah Morris, 16; Shyniece Sutton, 13; and
Deshay Smith, 16. All are members of the Key-stone Club, a
nationally rec-ognized character and lead-ership development
program designed to develop the skills teens need to achieve their
goals in life, while helping to support their local clubs and other
young members.
They have advanced through the selection process based upon
their maturity, leadership, interest in the community and
relationship with the staff, volunteers and other members,
according to executive director Philip Mumford. All three scored
highly in leadership, aca-demic excellence and poten-tial,
character and service, and healthy lifestyles.
“We are extremely proud of all three candidates and what they’ve
achieved both here at the Club and in their private lives,” said
Mumford. “Any of the three will reflect well on the Club, their
families and the Northern Neck.”
Morris is a high school junior and a defensive end/linebacker on
the Lancaster High School varsity football team. During the ‘off
season,’ his sport is basketball at the BGCNN where he does his own
homework, works on the computer, and helps tutor and guide younger
students.
Sutton likes helping people and her ambition is to run her own
business one day, perhaps in a service busi-ness. She likes to cook
and was active this summer in the BGCNN restaurant manage-ment
special interest group where she learned the basics of the catering
business, and presenting and serving food. She also has been
involved with cheerleading at the BGCNN.

Three teens are candidatesfor BGCNN Youth of the Year
Smith is a junior at Lan-caster High School and likes cooking,
art and clothing design. A career in the fash-ion industry is one
avenue he thinks he might like to pursue.
To qualify for selection as Youth of the Year, the three teens
will each write essays looking at the challenges and obstacles
facing youth today. They will prepare brief pre-sentations and be
coached by staff and volunteers on key aspects of leadership
devel-opment, setting life goals, and public speaking.
The winning Northern Neck candidate, selected by a panel of
community lead-ers in January, will travel to Richmond in April
2016 to
compete in the Virginia state level competition. The Vir-ginia
winner will then pro-ceed to regional and national level
competitions for the selection of one National winner.
“The National Youth of the Year winner is the high-est honor
bestowed on Boys & Girls Club members,” said Mumford. “We
expect that young man or woman to be a role model and spokesperson
for America’s youth.”
Steak & Burger Dinner res-ervations, corporate and table

and teen for September at the Boys & Girls Club Club of the
Northern Neck, reported executive director Phillip Mumford.
Waddy is a fourth-grader at Lancaster Middle School. He has been

is active in the club’s Garden Club and PGA Golf Program.
“I felt excited and was proud that I have been chosen,” he said.

He volunteers for Habitat for Humanity, and at the club is a

Deshay was selected for his exemplary behavior, his willingness
to lend a hand when needed—whether helping younger members with
homework or assisting staff in the Learning Center, said
Mumford.
His selection, “is very rewarding and means that I have done
something positive and was noticed for my efforts,” said Smith.
His goal is “to live in New York and be a fashion designer.”

Boys & Girls Club names youth and teen of the month
SCHOOL REPORTS
The Boys and Girls Club of the North-ern Neck recently announced
that, with the financial support of the Virginia Foundation for
Healthy Youth (VFHY), it will offer two additional programs to
Lancaster youth and families.
The youth-focused Positive Action pro-gram will promote a
healthy self-concept and establish positive actions for the body
and mind, reported executive director Phillip Mumford.
The program emphasizes effective self-management, social skills,
character and mental health, as well as skills for setting and
achieving goals, said Mumford.
Development of the Positive Action pro-gram began in 1973 by
Carol Gerber Allred,
Ph.D. while she was teaching high school English, psychology and
speech, he said. Dr. Allred has continuously expanded and improved
the program.
It will be offered during its after-school program Mondays
through Fridays at the club, 517 North Main Street, Kilmarnock.
The Strengthening Families program is an evidence-based family
skills training program found to significantly improve parenting
skills and family relationships, reduce prob-lem behaviors,
delinquency and alcohol and drug abuse in children, continued
Mumford.
It also improves social competencies and school performance, he
said. The seven-week program will be offered quarterly at 6 p.m. on
Tuesdays.
Currently the club is hosting this training for five families.
Each week both parent and child, ages 10 to 14, must
participate.
The club will start its second group of ses-sions on January 19,
said Mumford.
Three facilitators have been trained by VFHY to deliver these
family sessions, including board member and former Rich-mond County
Social Services director Clau-dette Henderson, Cheryl Anderson with
the Virginia Department of Health and Malcolm Weldon, with the
Rappahannock Area Office on Youth.
Child care and dinner will be provided each week of attendance.
There is no cost to the participant families. To register, call
435-9696.

The wineries of Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail on November
8 will host the third annual Fall Oyster Crawl.
Visitors can sample a vari-ety of oyster dishes throughout the
trail, reported Chris Flemer of Ingleside Vineyards. Each winery
will present one or more oyster dishes to pair with its wines.
Several wineries also will offer oyster pairings on November 7.
This annual event celebrates one of the region’s seafood
spe-cialties, the oyster, for which Virginia has received much
acclaim recently, said Flemer. November has been designated as
Virginia Oyster Month.
According to Dr. Ada Jacox, president of the Wine Trail and
owner of Athena Vineyards, “The Oyster Crawl brings together two of
our region’s most famous delicacies, wine and oysters,” said Wine
Trail president Dr. Ada Jacox, owner
of Athena Vineyards.Participating wineries will
be will include Athena Vine-yards and Winery of Heaths-ville,
Belle Mount Vineyards of Warsaw, The Dog and Oyster Vineyard of
Irvington, General’s Ridge Vineyard of Hague, Good Luck Cellars of
Kilmarnock, Ingleside Vine-yards of Oak Grove, Oak Crest Vineyard
& Winery of King George and Vault Field Vine-yards of
Kinsale.
Currently all of the Trail’s wineries are in the Northern Neck
region. The region features a rich history, abundant local seafood
and wines that showcase the land’s maritime terroir, said Flemer.
Whether crisp Chardon-nays, fruity whites or Bordeaux-style reds,
the Trail’s wineries offer a selection of wines to please any
palate.
Normal tasting fees will apply during the event and oys-ters
will be available for sale.

“Consider the Oyster,” the current show at the Rappa-hannock Art
League Studio Gallery, 19 North Main Street, Kilmarnock, will
con-tinue through November 14. The show celebrates Virginia Oyster
Month.
“Appreciating the oyster as a theme was innovative and a simple,
universal and regional connection for all the works,” said judge
Ellie Cox of Rich-mond, an award-winning artist. “Viewers will be
pleased at the new and traditional ways the oyster has been
addressed.”
Linda Goldstein was the first-place winner with her mixed-media
piece, Mother of Pearl. Cox said her piece “splendidly engages the
eye, has good composition, color and its simple and well-painted
treatment of an oyster distin-guishes the piece. Extension of the
painting to the mat is a
delightful surprise.”Second-place went to Marie
Armstrong for her acrylic, Conchology, and to Lella Lee Edwards’
mixed-media piece Where Oysters Can Hide.
Third-place went to Who Let the Pearls Out, a mixed-media piece
by Linda Bruner; to Pearl, a watercolor and collage piece by Martha
Anne King; and to Oyster House Recycled, a watercolor by Sue
Ramsey.
Honorable mentions went to Herb Aman for his digital photo Dead
Tired; Jacquie Col-ligan for her fine silver jewelry, Rappahannock
Oyster Shell with Blue Pearl; Mel Neale for her graphite, Weems
Division; and to Sukey Starkey for her mosaic, All About The
Oyster.
A First Friday reception from 5 to 7 p.m. November 6 will
feature the show and the judge’s comments will be shared for all
winning pieces.
Journey Spa at the the Tides Inn, 480 King Carter Drive,
Irvington, will host Sparks of Light from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday,
November 2.
Sparks of Light is a one-day event that allows participating spa
professionals across the country to offer their healing gifts for
free to those battling cancer, reported spa manager Shawn
Miller.
Cancer patients interested in complimentary services may call
the Spa at 438-4430 to make an appointment.
Services will include 30 or 60 minute sessions of custom
mas-sages, custom facials, manicures and pedicures.
Sparks of Light was an idea that began in 1995, as Vicky Weiss
watched her mother deal with the ravages of cancer, explained
Miller. Weiss was determined to honor her mother’s 13-month
journey. In 2005 she started Faye’s Light, named for her mother; a
place where spa therapists and holistic practitioners come to offer
free services for those battling cancer.

Woodland was built in 1790. The property was pur-

“Woodland, sitting on 17 acres in a pastoral setting is perfect
for outdoor cer-emonies and receptions,” said Ludeke, of

Omega Protein Corporation in Reed-ville and Crowther Heating
& Air Condi-tioning (CHAC) in Kilmarnock have made substantial
donations to the Lancaster/Northumberland Habitat for Humanity
(LNHFH) affiliate.
Omega has agreed to underwrite 100% of the HVAC (equipment and
installation) costs and Crowther Heating & Air Condi-tioning
has donated the complete HVAC system and professional installation
for a new Habitat home on Wiggins Avenue in Kilmarnock that began
in spring of 2014.
“The contributions we receive from our in-kind vendors like
Crowther are essen-tial to the success of our home building
efforts. Contributions like these enable families to move out of
unsafe and sub-standard housing into simple, decent and affordable
homes of their own,” said LNHFH board president Nan Harvey
Flynn.
“We are very pleased to have this chance to work in partnership
with Habitat to give back to our neighbors here in the Northern
Neck,” said CHAC owner Mike Crowther. “We have a great sense of
pride in know-ing our work is part of a solution that cre-ates
affordable housing for families in our area.”
Supporting Habitat will help strengthen the community where
Omega Protein was founded more than a century ago, said general
manager Andy Hall.
“We have fourth and fifth generation families working at this
plant,” said Hall. “Our team has a strong commitment to giving back
to our community and feels privileged to contribute to an
organization like Lancaster/Northumberland Habitat for Humanity. We
know that our donation will assist Habitat in making it possible
for families in the Northern Neck to own a safe, decent and
affordable homes.”
Hall also noted that executives at Omega Protein were impressed
with Habi-tat’s partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of the
Northern Neck. During the summer youth from the Boys and Girls Club
worked on-site under professional
supervision to learn basic skills needed to enter the
construction field.
“We are immensely grateful that the Omega Protein Corporation
has decided to support us in carrying out our mission,” said
Flynn.
While volunteers do most of the con-struction on Habitat homes,
the costs of building materials and site preparation for these
modest homes now approach or exceed $100,000, she said.
“Knowing that a portion of our con-struction costs will be
covered by Omega Protein will allow us to advance our ambi-tious
agenda of eliminating substandard housing and provide community
stabiliza-tion right here in the Northern Neck,” said Flynn.
To volunteer, develop a partnership, or make a donation to
Lancaster/Northum-berland Habitat for Humanity, call office manager
Lauren Henry at 435-3461.
Donations also may be sent to Lan-caster/Northumberland Habitat,
PO Box 908, Kilmarnock, VA 22482.

Partnership supports Habitat mission
The Northern Neck-Mid-dlesex Free Health Clinic (NNMFHC)
recently received a certificate in recognition of the $7,035,721 in
free prescrip-tion medication the organization has provided through
its phar-macy to low-income, uninsured patients through
participation with the Rx Partnership (RxP).
For more than 11 years, RxP, a public/private partnership, has
led a successful and efficient effort to increase access to free
prescription medications for Virginia’s eligible uninsured through
free clinic and commu-nity health center partners.
“Rx Partnership is pleased to recognize the outstanding suc-cess
of Northern Neck Free Health Clinic in providing vital medication
to clinic patients who have no insurance and oth-erwise would be
unable to afford the medication needed to treat a variety of
chronic conditions,” said executive director Amy Yar-cich.
“The donated medication from pharmaceutical partners makes a
huge difference in a clinic’s abil-ity to provide comprehensive

care to patients in need,” said Yarcich. “With the rising cost
of many medications—particu-larly the generics that are not donated
and must be purchased by the clinic—the availability of donated
brand name medication ensures patients can continue to access the
medication they need to improve and maintain their health.”
The clinic began participating as an RxP Affiliate in December
2004.
The clinic pharmacy uses a host of patient assistance pro-grams
available through specific pharmaceutical companies in addition to
RxP, and purchases generic medicines, reported clinic executive
director Jean Nelson. The Pharmacy filled
32,379 prescriptions last year alone, valued at more than $4.5
million and 478,698 prescrip-tions since the clinic’s founding in
1993.
“RxP has broadened the avail-ability of medicines and
stream-lined the process of obtaining them,” said Nelson. “RxP and
other drug companies conduct regular audits to assure that
medicines are going to qualified patients, and we are gratified
that the clinic has a great track record in passing these
audits.”
The clinic on October 7 received its certificate of recog-nition
at the Rx Partnership 10th annual Affiliate Roundtable at the
offices of the Medical Soci-ety of Virginia in Richmond.
Eastern Virginia Bankshares Inc., the bank holding com-pany of
EVB recently reported its results of operations for the three and
nine months ending September 30.
The results were directly impacted by the acquisition and
integration of Virginia Company Bank, effective November 14, 2014,
including additional legal fees and integration costs of $224,000,
and increased average loan and deposit balances during the first
nine months of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.
Additionally, during the second quarter of 2015, the company
completed a private placement of $20 million in senior subordinated
debt. A portion of these proceeds were used to redeem both its
out-standing warrants with the U.S. Department of Treasury and the
remaining $9.0 million of its Series A Preferred Stock related to
the Troubled Asset Relief Pro-gram (TARP), originally issued in
January 2009.
“I am pleased with our com-pany’s continued progress and results
for the third quarter of 2015,” said president and chief operating
officer Joe A. Shearin. “In addition to our asset quality
improvements, we have mean-
ingfully increased net income available to common sharehold-ers
when compared to the same periods last year, as well as the second
quarter of 2015.”
For the third quarter of 2015, the company reported an increase
in annualized return on average assets of 0.20% to 0.65% and an
increase in annualized return on average common shareholders’
equity of 2.51% to 7.80%, when com-pared to the second quarter of
2015.
“Much of our improvement continues to be driven through the
successful execution of our previously disclosed strate-gic
initiatives and our focused efforts on growth and profit-ability,”
continued Shearin. “I continue to be encouraged with the positive
trends we saw during the third quarter related to loan growth,
particularly in the Richmond and Tidewater markets.
“Despite improvements in our net interest margin for the three
and nine months ended Septem-ber 30, 2015, when compared to the
same periods last year, our net interest margin declined during the
third quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2015,”
he said. “This decline was driven primarily
by lower asset yields in the his-torically low rate environment
which have been compounded by competitive pressures, lower
accretion income on acquired VCB loans, and higher inter-est
expense due to a full quarter impact related to the issuance of our
senior subordinated debt in April 2015.
“As a company, we will con-tinue to use our strategic and
financial flexibility to focus our efforts on growth and
profit-ability by driving operating efficiencies, containing
non-interest expenses and identi-fying revenue enhancement
opportunities. Throughout the fourth quarter of 2015 and for-ward,
we plan to evaluate and implement strategies that we believe will
improve our perfor-mance and profitability and will increase the
value of our com-pany,” added Shearing.
“Given our healthy asset quality, strong balance sheet and
improved financial per-formance, I am also pleased to announce that
the board of directors declared another cash dividend of $0.02 per
share of common stock and Series B Pre-ferred Stock payable on
Novem-ber 20, 2015, to shareholders of record as of November 6,
2015,” he said.

Virginia farmers harvested 13.9 million bushels of winter wheat
this past summer—22% less than in 2014 and 2% less than an August
forecast.
Yield is estimated at 66 bush-els per acre, down 2 bushels from
2014, but up 3 bushels from the August forecast.
Farmers seeded 260,000 acres last fall, down 30,000 acres from
2013.
That planting decision was price-driven, explained Virginia Farm
Bureau Federation grain manager Robert Harper.
Virginia generally has good growing conditions, but farm-ers are
well aware of their pro-
duction costs and of the prices available for their commodities,
said Harper.
“If they’re not at a point of profit, they’re not going to grow
it for recreation,” he said.
Among grain producers with whom he’s in touch, there are four
different perspectives as the time to plant wheat for 2016
approaches, continued Harper. Some farmers intend to plant wheat
acreage comparable to what they planted in 2014.
“Some of them are quitting cold turkey” and allocating time and
resources to other crops like full-season soybeans, he said.
Others intend to keep wheat
in their crop rotation plans, but will plant about half as much.
Still others will plant their regu-lar wheat acreage, but decide in
the spring whether to sell it for grain or livestock feed or use it
as a cover crop.
Harper noted that in recent weeks futures prices for winter
wheat have trended upward, and he said that is likely to factor
into some producers’ wheat strategies.
“We have a little bit of encouragement for them to say, ‘OK, I
am going to plant some,’ … to encourage some of them to take that
middle-of-the-road approach,” he added.
Winter wheat production down more than one-fifth
