Rappahannock Record Kilmarnock, VA

Kilmarnock Garden Club’s community beautifi-cation chairman Olga Speck, along with Anne

Siler, Genny Chase and a special guest, Speck’s grandson Chistian Parada, recently presented the Kilmarnock Garden Club’s July “Garden of the Month” to Charlotte Swaffin of Irvington Road.

The club continues this endeavor, which began last year, of selecting a home garden that exemplifies “Community Beautification” in the town of Kilmar-nock, said Chase. Club members want to show their appreciation for the hard work involved in gardening and to encourage community beautification through horticulture in the town limits of Kilmarnock.

Swaffin retired after 44 years as a teacher and librarian in Lancaster County and now has a little more time to spend with her garden, which she said is her “passion.” This is evident from her beautiful

garden, said Chase. Swaffin keeps up with the weeds by working in the garden a little each day as she con-tinues to battle the deer, with spray and attempting to find plants they do not like to eat, which is very difficult.

Swaffin demonstrates a wonderful spirit of commu-nity beautification through horticulture by planting a variety of beautiful flowers, shrubs and trees that continue to bloom through the summer and into the fall, making the Kilmarnock community more beauti-ful, added Chase.

The club is looking forward to continuing the spirit of community involvement which began with the club over 48 years ago. The club meets at 1 p.m. third Tuesdays, March through December, at Kilmarnock Baptist Church, 65 East Church Street, Kilmarnock. To join the club, call 580-4833.

Iris Treakle, talent coordinator for the Northern Neck Rotary Club’s CAPINNÉ 2016-Dancing with the Northern Neck Stars, recently announced dancers, ranging from young to mature and shag to rumba, have entered the upcoming competi-tion.

The event will be held July 16 at the Boys & Girls Club of the North-ern Neck, 517 North Main Street, Kilmarnock.

The dance couples to date include Greg Howell and Karen Rogers, Cliff and Jody Nelson, Autumn George and James Stevens, David Robinson and Jessica Turner, Don and Kathy Pee-bles, Sherika Charity and Justin Ellis, Bill and Joy Hendershot, Martha and Tim Pandajis and Stacy and Wayne Evans.

After last year’s success the dance couples are taking preparation to the next level, said Treakle.

They are rehearsing on a regular basis and dress rehearsals are sched-uled on the show stage, she said.

Ed and Isabelle Bunch, last year’s winners, will be featured in a spot-light dance reminiscent of popular TV dance programs of the 1950s, added Treakle. Music will be provided by The Shaggin’ DJs, Greg and Rose Howell. Jane Crowther is serving as dance coordinator for the event.

“We are pleased to have so much community business support again this year,” said CAPINNÉ chairman Glenda Haynie.

Led by EVB, the platinum sponsor and Chesapeake Bank, gold, busi-nesses have donated services and advertised in the event program, said Haynie. She also reported ticket sales are brisk and there is little doubt that the 300 tickets available will be sold quickly.

Incoming club president Bob Mullen commended the hard work of outgoing president Sam Nuckols and his team in planning the gala.

“It looks like the charities and scholarship fund will get a real boost from this year’s event and we will have a great time in doing so,” said Mullen.

Tickets are $50 each. Tickets are available from members, on Facebook at NN Rotary, or 435-4169.

The July 15 “music night” ses-sion at White Stone United Meth-odist Church will feature Duke University professor Randy Reed, a classical guitarist. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. at White Stone UMC, 118 Methodist Church Road, White Stone.

Donations at the door will help the performer with expenses, reported Master Luthier Doug Somervell of White Stone, a long-time friend of the guest musician.

Reed has spent his entire life learning, performing, teaching, composing and printing music for his beloved instrument, the clas-sical guitar, continued Somervell. He has been an adjunct professor of guitar studies at Duke since 1994.

Reed has appeared as a solo artist throughout the U.S. with additional recitals in Mexico and Canada. In 2006, he performed Lalo Schifrin’s Guitar Concerto Sinfonia Con-certante with the Duke University Wind Symphony. He is in his 16th year as president of the Triangle Guitar Society, which he founded in 1988.

In 2010, Reed self-published his five book instructional series: “Randy Reed Repertoire” which features many of his own composi-tions.

Reed performs on a Span-ish made classical guitar built by Master Luthier Ignacio M Rosas.

Parents and grandparents are invited to bring the “young-uns” to the Heathsville Farmers Market on July 16 for Kids’ Day.

A fun day of games and spe-cial activities geared just for kids is planned, reported market man-ager Corinne Anthony Becker. The Tavern Woodworkers Guild will set up a table for making toy wooden boats. The Spinners & Weavers Guild will have a loom warped and ready for kids to weave. Special treats for youth will be given out at the Tavern’s membership table.

Also on site will be corn hole games, animals for petting and a fire engine, courtesy of the Callao Volunteer Fire Department, said Becker.

The market extends from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the grounds adjacent Rice’s Hotel/Hughlett’s Tavern, 73 Monument Place, Heathsville. Shoppers will find farm-fresh local produce, meat, cheese and eggs, flowers and nursery plants and handcrafts. A number of vendors specializing in kid-related clothing and toys also participate.

Kids’ Day slated July 16 atHeathsville Farmers Market

Of all the guitars that have come though his shop over the years this one is his all time favorite, said Somervell.

“It’s tone and projection are unmatched. It’s a real treat to hear professor Reed perform the ‘Recu-erdos de la Alhambra’ by Francisco Tarrega on this instrument,” he said. “Just amazing!”

In this concert Reed also will perform short works of Gaspar Sanz, Josef Mertz, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Mauro Giuliani, David Walbert and Augustion Barrios.

“Randy’s personable rapport with the audience makes his con-certs accessible even for those who aren’t familiar with classical guitar music,” said Somervell. “It is fun and educational at the same time. This will be a great night of music.”

Dear Bruised,A young poet once wrote, “Elbows 101:

Because you are polite, you know that your

elbows should stay near your side when at a meal. Just suppose that your elbow feels warm and you see that it’s nestled in your neighbor’s plate of veal.”

So just what are elbows good for? There are the obvious benefits such as aiding in lifting things, as when we want to lift our food to our mouths, and when tossing things such as our dirty sox into the clothes hamper. I am told that elbows come in handy when one is trying to gain ground shopping at a sale…but that’s a bit rude.

Recently I read that people who want to be heard and respected in business meet-ings should make themselves as large as possible by extending their elbows from their sides—as though they were doing the Chicken Dance, I think.

However, nowhere is it considered acceptable to punch your dinner compan-

ions with that bony joint, no matter how difficult the pork chop is to cut. As the person who is trying to fend off an exuber-ant diner, you are well within your social graces limits to say “Excuse me, would you please move over just a little? It seems we both need more room,” or even jokingly, “Oops, Louise, I want you to win the battle with that chop, but I need a little more room here.”

Whatever you choose to say, I am wish-ing you many years of peaceful, bruise-free dining!

Ginger Philbrick is the owner of Because You Are Polite….LLC. You are invited to e-mail your manners questions to her and she will respond as time and space allow. You may contact her at youarepolite1@verizon.net and visit her website at becau-seyouarepolite.com. RSVP!

IRVINGTON—How do we let go of a woman with such a huge heart and a willingness to serve so many?

This challenge is ours as we surrender Etta Irene Pittman, who was born August 16, 1939, and died July 1, 2016.

Irene is predeceased by her late husband, Peyton R. Pitt-man Sr.

She is survived by their four children, Wanda Pitt-man (Johnnie) of Roanoke, Amanda Gordon (Melvin) of Kilmarnock, Robin Hundley (Douglas) of Irvington, and Richard Pittman (Susan) of Irvington.

The oldest of eight, Irene was the daughter of the late Ira William Kilmon and Etta Mazie Brown. One sister, Bar-bara Ann, predeceased Irene, and she is survived by six siblings including Jack, Ira, Joyce, Carolyn, Stanley and Tammy.

All who knew Irene saw a hard worker, devoted wife and family matriarch. As a young wife and mother, Irene stayed at home to raise her children and offer extended care for many of her grandchildren. When she was able, her ideal day was preparing a feast and setting an elaborate table to feed her family, giving special attention to her grandchildren, Emily and Tom Lee, Ryan Gordon, Blair Abbott, Tracie Jones, Drew Hundley, Rick Pittman and Bradley Wilmore. For these eight, the greatest woman on earth was “Nanny,” and no one will ever take her place.

Other than her home in Irvington, Irene’s happiest place was Irvington Baptist Church where, for decades, she sang in the choir; served on any committee need-ing a member; taught any class needing a teacher; and served as many dinners as were offered. When she wasn’t serving her family or her church, Irene enjoyed solitude. Endearing were the times when you came upon her reading Scriptures, prun-ing flowers, or feeding birds.

When Irene approached, you might say, “Here comes a lady who loves fashion.” Bright colors, red lipstick and big earrings. When her young family all reached school age, Irene found a place for her fashion passion. She spent many wonderful years work-ing in local salons enjoying the clientele and developing lasting friendships.

Irene believed in forgive-ness, kindness and helping others. If you ever needed any-

thing that she had, you need not ask. If she figured it out, as she most often did, it was yours. She believed in fairness and thought that the small-est voices carried the loudest message.

Irene was a prayer warrior, and at the top of her list were her eight great-grandchildren she called her angels. For these, she reserved her biggest smiles and always had a spe-cial refrigerator full of juice boxes and a jar full of cookies.

She prayed the world would be a safe and happy place for Kiera, Madeline, Aubrey, Jacob, Makayla, Aayden and Avery. It is nice to think that perhaps she will be the first one to kiss her angels-in-wait-ing—Harper in September and Baby Jones in December.

We cannot say goodbye to our mother without expressing a heartfelt thank you to all of the caregivers at The Orchard. As her children, we are accus-tomed to seeing our mother as a caregiver, but as her mind and body failed, we surren-dered her to more competent hands. The wonderful staff cared for her with unmatched tenderness and compassion. Many a time we heard Mom say to the staff, “I love you,” and they would respond, “I love you, too.”

And now this beautiful, brave woman, known as Miss Pittman, Irene, mom, or nanny, has left us with hearts full of pride; minds full of memories; and a hope that one day we will see her again. It is terribly hard to let go mom, but your job among us is complete, and you deserve to rest in peace. Thank you for a life of love and sacrifice.

Funeral services were held Wednesday, July 6, at Irving-ton Baptist Church. Inter-ment followed the service in the church cemetery. Family received friends at the church an hour prior to the service.

Currie Funeral Home LLC of Kilmarnock handled the arrangements.

Pastor Mike Ramming of Good Shep-herd Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod

(LCMS), 1717 Hampton Hall Road, Callao, is retiring after serving the congregation since 2002. His farewell Sunday worship service will be held at 9 a.m. July 24. A special fellowship will follow. The commu-nity is invited.

Pastor Ramming is a native of Texas, a retired U.S. Navy chaplain and last month celebrated 47 years of ordained ministry in the LCMS. He followed in the footsteps of his sainted father, Rev. Martin E. Ram-ming, also an LCMS clergyman and retired U.S. Army chaplain, with World War II European combat experience.

Pastor Ramming says he has been “richly blessed with a fulfilling, varied and excit-ing ministry.” He was ordained in 1969 as a part of the 150th anniversary celebration of his home church, Trinity-LCMS in Port Arthur, Texas, reported evangelism chair-man Susan Hudson. Over his decades of ministry, he served Good Shepherd-LCMS in Memphis, Tenn., from 1969 to 1972; served as a reserve Navy chaplain from 1967 to 1972; was on active duty as a Navy chaplain from 1972 to 1980 and from 1980 to 1996 served a reserve Navy chaplain. He retired in 1996 with 28 years of service, having ministered to all four of the military branches that Navy chaplains serve.

After retiring from the Navy, he then served Bethel-LCMS in San Francisco, Calif., from 1980 to 1990 and Grace-LCMS in Killeen, Texas, from 1990 to 2002 before heading east on a vacation.

A history buff, he was naturally drawn to Virginia’s many historic areas and it was during this vacation where he discovered the Northern Neck, said Hudson. Interest-ingly, that just happened to occur at the same time the members of Good Shepherd were looking for a pastor. One thing led to another which ultimately resulted in Rev. Ramming becoming the pastor of Good Shepherd-LCMS in 2002.

Over the last 14 years, he has embraced and impacted not just the congregation, but the community at large due to his min-istry of service, mercy and support, said Hudson.

Pastor Ramming is married to the former Karen Swankowski Melichar of Mon-tross. They live in Glebe Harbor and plan to remain in the Northern Neck. He has a grown son, Martin Ramming, and a grand-daughter, Victoria Ramming-Howard, who live in Texas, as well as two great-grand-children.

All are welcomed to attend his farewell worship service on July 24 at 9 am and plan to stay for refreshments in the Fellow-ship Hall. The church is located at 1717 Hampton Hall Road just 2 miles past the light at Callao.

Rev. John Farmer has been the pastor at Irvington Baptist Church since 1986.

Philippi had been a Greek settlement, home

to the Macedonians, estab-lished as far back as 360 BC. It was a military out-post established to protect the gold mines. By the time of this writing the area had become a Roman colony. The Book of Philip-pians is a part of the Pau-line epistles (letters) that can be grouped together with Colossians, Philemon and Ephesians. Scholars often refer to these letters as Paul’s prison letters, as they believe them written from Rome during the time that Paul was under “house arrest.”

There is a thrust of joy in the writ-ing. It comes out of a bad time in the life of the writer. No matter the press of life, Paul finds joy and faith possible in the face of perse-cution. It draws from a deep well of conviction and encourages past and present readers to hold fast, to hold on. There is an implied gratitude for the things done for us (and the author) by Christ.

Paul had come to know Jesus late in life. It called him from being a persecu-tor to one who would be persecuted for the balance of his existence. We, like Paul, come to know Jesus by submitting to the king-dom of God as we are con-fronted by a Savior who becomes our Lord (He who rules over us).

Paul would say that his faith is like the kingdom of heaven: It costs everything because it is worth every-thing.

All about me, all of the time I am infected by the woes of others. Great sad-ness invades churches, groups and families. Ill-ness, disappointment, and doubt loom. Yet we, who of the household of faith need to draw strength from

the Biblical witness. We can parallel the lives of these ancient Saints and be equipped for the living of each and every new day. We are reported to be a people of conviction, with principles. Alas, we are so easily wounded. Take heart my friends and hold on. The best is yet to be.

Let’s sample the letter a wee bit today: “I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by becoming like him in his death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

“Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my

own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.

“Beloved, I do not con-sider that I have made it my own; but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.

“Let those of us then who are mature be of the same mind; and if you think dif-ferently about anything, this too God will reveal to you.

“Only let us hold fast to what we have attained.”—Philippians 3:10-15.

Paul anchors the letter from that point of his momentous decision to sur-render to Christ. He there-fore “knows” the Risen Lord. It is not so much that the we cannot go back to Golgotha’s hill; rather the Man of the Cross comes to us, each individually. For the people of faith,

our lives, like Paul’s, are being transformed through Christ. He gives us power and purpose and a calling to others. We don’t just get to know Christ; we keep on knowing Him.

Often the stress under which we labor is carried upon our shoulders because we have not rested our prob-lems in the life of Christ. It requires an investment in the knowledge and faith of the believer. Christ who did, is the Christ who does. We establish a relationship with Him that gives us the power and courage to carry on, even in the most diffi-cult of times.

Christ knew great stress. Paul experienced it vicari-ously with Him. Paul’s suf-

fering is the fodder for many books, many stories of faith.

In many a cry for help a respondent has yelled, “Just hold on, help is on the way.” That is a grand way to think of Christ’s involve-ment in our lives. Help is on the way, all the help you and

or I will ever need. We have to keep the faith, main-tain the walk, and hold on. Everything is going to be all right.

Sustaining a life of faith is not about a sense of false perfectionism. God, through Christ overlooks all our shortcomings. None of us ever really feels good enough. It is not about our goodness, rather His.

If Paul experienced any sense of martyrdom, it is that he relates his predica-ment to that of Christ’s. He touched the suffering ser-vant and finds healing in his own suffering.

Yes, friend, times (at times) may be bad. Take heart, help is on its way. Hold on. Press on.

As I said: the best is yet to be…

Reflectionsby Rev. John Farmer

Sustaining a life of faith is not about a sense of false perfec-tionism. God, through Christ overlooks all our shortcomings. None of us ever really feels good enough. It is not about our good-ness, rather His.

You are correct that there is continually information in the news and in magazines about fall prevention. It needs to be top of mind for each of us.

Here are a few tips to help make your home “fall preven-tion friendly” for your mom.

Look around your home and:

over (such as papers, books, clothes, and shoes) from stairs and places where she walks.

in staircases.

rugs, or use double-sided tape to keep the rugs in place.

items in cabinets or storage areas that she can reach easily, without using a step stool.

the toilet and tub or shower.

bathtub and on shower floors.

your home, including night-lights in bedrooms and hall-ways. Make certain to turn on the lights when she enters your house or a room at night.

Begin a regular exercise program. Exercise helps to strengthen muscles and improve agility decreasing falls. Talk with your mother’s health care provider to see what might work best for her.

In some communities there are specific classes for balance and fall prevention.

Review your medications. As we get older, the side effects of some medications may make us drowsy or light headed which could increase our risk of falling. Have your doctor or pharmacist review all of her medications—both prescription and over the counter. Often dosage changes or overlooking strict instruc-tions on when to take the med-ication result in falls.

Check your vision. It’s a good idea to have vision checked regularly by an optometrist or ophthalmolo-gist. Poor vision can increase the chance of falling.
