The Rappahannock Concert Associa-tion is pleased to welcome back the Jeff Little Trio at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 16, at the Northumberland High School Auditorium, 201 Academic Lane, Heathsville.
The concert marks the final perfor-mance in the Rappahannock Concert Association’s 2014-15 series, reported board member Phyllis Neal.
Known as “The Piano Man of the Blue Ridge,” Little grew up in Boone, N.C., where his family ran Little’s Music Store, said Neal. Musicians of all types frequently stopped by the store to play a tune or two. One of these was Doc Watson, a family friend whose
music helped shape Little’s piano style.Little began playing piano at age 5
and by age 14 he was a professional musician. His experience includes tra-ditional jazz, old-time country, blue-grass, rockabilly and blues, she said.
Other members of the Jeff Little Trio are Steve Lewis and Josh Scott, said Neal. Lewis is a former National Banjo Champion and also plays guitar. Scott is a master of the upright bass and has performed with many blue-grass bands.
Tickets are $25 for adults. Students are admitted free. For tickets, visit rap-pahannockconcerts.org, or call the box office, 1-866-217-8149.

Visitors will have an opportunity to learn how hand-ground linseed oil paint is made, how decorative plaster is applied, and how other interior trades are accomplished using materials and techniques of the 18th and 19th centuries.
The opportunity to interact with, and witness, the tradespeople who are keeping the trades alive also will be available, reported media contact Jim Schepmoes. This will be a great time to see the charm of the fine craftsmanship often displayed in the country’s histori-cal treasures. From the walls to the floors, craftsmen will examine the lost skills and techniques that trans-formed rooms into spaces filled with grace, comfort and style.
“This is our way of celebrating National Preservation Month,” said public events manager Jon Bach-man. “Not only can you see the tradespeople demonstrating their craftsmanship, but then you can
see it on display in rooms of the Great House. There will also be many hands-on activities for chil-dren including basic carpentry, col-oring, stenciling and painting pre-cast plaster f igures, and a trades scavenger hunt with prizes.”
Tickets are $12 for adults and $7 for children.
Activities will include self-guided tours of the Great House conducted from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; children’s activities on the Oval, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; kid’s scavenger hunt, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and mini-talks in the upper central hall of the Great House, 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The Bay Tones will perform under the leadership of director Matthew Rosendahl.
The songs for this concert will be a variety of gospel songs as the Bay Tones reminisce about the days of the steamboat on the Chesapeake Bay, reported Stanley James. The steam-boat would come from Baltimore to Weems and to the church camp meet-ings at Wharton Grove.
The second half of the evening will feature the guest barbershop quartet, Masquerade, from the Fredericksburg and Richmond area. The group will sing several gospel selections plus
other entertaining music.Tickets are $10 each and may

Tickets also will be available at The Animal Welfare League Thrift Shop, Bank of Lancaster main office, Ches-apeake Bank main office and Yours Truly Photography in Kilmarnock; White Stone Pharmacy; Essex Bank and Union Bank in Burgess; and EVB Northumberland branches.
Profits from this show enable the chorus to continue its broader singing efforts in nursing homes, civic groups and churches, said James.

The Just Gardens Tour com-mittee recently announced its next tour to support the Haven Shelter and Services is being planned for spring 2016.
The Just Gardens Committee simply could not get enough gar-dens to do a tour for this spring, reported Anne Olsen.
The committee thanks the two garden owners who did agree to open and then graciously accepted the fact that there would not be a tour, she said.
The committee met recently and started making plans for 2016. Gardens have been suggested and people will be called.
“However, even though our committee members come from all four Northern Neck coun-ties and have a deep knowledge of local horticulture, we don’t know everyone,” said committee member Anne Dickerson, whose garden in Weems has been on the tour. “It would be wonderful if people would contact us if they are interested in being on the tour.”
Those interested in participat-ing may contact Sarah Weakley at havenshelter.org. or Olsen at 450-6819.

Rappahannock River Valley National Wildlife Refuge and the Rappahannock Wildlife Refuge Friends will hold their annual “Go Wild!” from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 17 at the Hutchinson Tract, 19180 Tide-water Trail, north of Tappahan-nock.
“We are excited to see how ‘Go Wild!’ has grown and gained more community sup-port since its inception five years ago,” said refuge manager Andy Hoffman.
“This is an awesome oppor-tunity to engage families in activities to learn about natural resources, conservation, and what roles communities can play to be good stewards of the land,” he said.
“Go Wild!” will offer three tram tours into the heart of the Hutchinson Tract to discuss the history of the refuge, plants and nature. Other activities will include a basic archery program, bluebird house building, a birds and binoculars activity, and sto-
rytelling by Alice Elk Moon. Conservation exhibitors from
around the Chesapeake Estuary watershed will provide informa-tion on efforts occurring in the Rappahannock watershed. Rep-resentatives from Ducks Unlim-ited, Northern Neck Audubon, Northern Neck Master Natu-ralists, Rappahannock Carvers Guild, Tidewater Oyster Gar-deners Association, the Virginia Native Plant Society, Virginia Bluebird Society and many others will be in attendance.
A tour of Mount Landing Creek will begin at 10 a.m. The two-hour tour is led by Gordon Page and will leave promptly from the kayak/canoe launch at the Hutchin-son Tract. Participants must bring their own kayak, canoe and life vest.
The Friends will host a silent auction from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Each visitor will receive a raffle ticket for free drawings through the afternoon. Food will be available for purchase.
NAACP donates book
The New Jim Crow, Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness,
With apologies to those wonderful readers whose questions I am putting on hold briefly, I feel I must address a situation I recently observed. It is one that we as kind resi-dents of the Northern Neck need to guard against. I am referring to having tolerance for those who have come as visitors to enjoy our shops and restaurants and who appreci-ate being allowed a slower pace while they are here.
It was an afternoon of driv-ing rain and gusty winds, and I drove up behind a car with Northern Neck plates. I had heard its honking horn from a block away. It took only a few seconds to realize the driver was complaining about three people who, having darted out of a shop on Main Street, were scurrying to get out of down-pour and into the van waiting in front of him. I could tell this was an experienced horn honker because the blaring cadence he was using must
have taken practice. As the third of the three
shoppers prepared to enter the van, he paused to give a little wave, smiled and mouthed “Thank You” to the percus-sionist. As the van drove off, its out of state plates were clearly visible.
We owe those visitors expecting an unhurried and more accepting pace (as well as our own selves) the cour-tesy of hospitality that some-times requires a bit of afford-able patience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, who probably never honked a horn in his life, said “good manners are made up of petty sacrifices.” I think he would have loved the Northern Neck. Especially because, as a friend remarked just the other night, living here is so peaceful that “the only honk-ing heard is that of the geese winging overhead.”
Let’s do our best to keep it that way.
Ginger Philbrick is the
owner of Because You Are Polite….LLC. You are invited to e-mail your manners ques-tions to her and she will respond as time and space
allow. You may contact her at [email protected] and visit her website at becauseyouarepolite.com. RSVP!

WINCHESTER—William Adderson Headley of Win-chester died May 1, 2015.
We’re sorry to tell you that if you didn’t know Bill Head-ley, you’ve missed knowing one of the biggest hearted guys around.
Headley was born Febru-ary 20, 1948, in Baltimore, Md., to Virgie Gregory who predeceased him.
Known affectionately to his Northern Neck pals and family as “Billy,” he gradu-ated from Lancaster High School and was a proud Viet-nam veteran.
Gifted with a green thumb, Bill owned his own lawn care business which was primar-ily mowing, landscaping, and painting—but really, Bill would tackle just about any-thing!
Bill had many interests. At the top of his list was his family. He and wife Sherry were married June 21, 1986. He is survived by daughter Christy Headley Connell; son David Adderson Head-ley; and grandson Aaron Kodi Greene. Bill loved his time with family—traveling all over the United States and just enjoying each other’s company. He loved planting and growing things. He loved going to car shows to show off his 1977 Corvette and his 1978 Ford truck. Bill loved fishing and hanging out with the “breakfast bunch” at McDonald’s in Lancaster or the Moose Lodge in Lively when he would go on one of his Lancaster “fixes” from Winchester.
Bill loved telling stories and making people laugh.
And he made the best home-made peach ice cream!
Bill was a proud member of the Upper Lancaster County Moose Lodge, the Stephen’s City Lions Club, Lebanon Baptist Church in Lively, First Baptist Church Men’s Bible class and Singin’ Seniors in Winchester. At First Baptist, Bill enjoyed helping with the WATTS program that provides tem-porary winter shelter to the homeless in the Winchester area.
Bill just had a great time no matter what he was doing!
In addition to wife Sherry; daughter Christy; son David; and grandson Aaron; Bill is survived by brother James Pittman; and sisters Caro-line Kruse, Liz Murphy and Molly Galbreath.
In true helping fashion, Bill donated his body to sci-ence so students could learn more about the issues that plague the human body.
A celebration of William Adderson Headley’s life will be held at 10:30 a.m. Satur-day, May 9, at First Baptist Church in Winchester.
FRONT ROYAL—Susan Lynn Lennon, 37, of Front Royal died Tuesday, April 28, 2015. She worked at Kaiser.
She is survived by her husband, Robert Lennon; daughter, McKenzie L.
Lennon; parents, Brenda and Bob Marks; and sisters, Sherri Galves and Christine Marks.
The family will hold a pri-vate memorial service at a later date.
L O T T S B U R G — K e i t h Emerson Payne “Pete” of Lottsburg died on Tuesday, April 21, 2015, at his home. He was the son of the late William Waugh Payne and Minnie Mae Payne.
He was a staff member for Home Beneficial Life Insur-ance Company for 38 years. He was a member of the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Callao, a charter member of the Lodge Creek Yacht Club and a member of the Callao Moose.
Keith was the devoted hus-band of Doris Jean Payne for 64 years; the father of Patricia Jean Payne, Peggy Payne Jack-son and Keith Emerson Payne Jr. (Donna); and six grandchil-dren, Thomas C. Edwards Jr. (Melanie), Ryan Kirsh (Jen-nifer), Erin Payne Disborough (Justin), Tara Payne Martin (David), Kathryn Kirsh and Brian Curtain.
He was preceded in death by his parents and eight siblings.
“Uncle Pete” was loved by all and he will be missed by many. Known for his jokes, generous spirit and fishing, all will miss his fresh fish and fish fries. He gave his catch away to his many friends and family.
They were expertly filleted and ready for frying.
A funeral service will be held at 4 p.m. Sunday, May 10, at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Callao. A dinner reception will follow. For the family and those who wish to participate, Holy Communion will be served at 3 p.m. Inter-ment will be in the garden at the church.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations will be accepted for the Callao Rescue Squad, P.O. Box 82, Callao, VA 22435, Riverside-Walter Reed Hos-pice, P.O. Box 1130, Glouces-ter, VA 23061, or Good Shep-herd Lutheran Church, P.O. Box 576, Callao, VA 22435.

R E E DV I L L E — O t e l i a Rogers Robertson, 79, of Reedville and formerly of Tappahannock, passed away on April 28, 2015. She was known by many friends as “OT.”
She is survived by her hus-band of 58 years, Howard Carter Robertson Sr.; daugh-ters, Dorothy (Dottie) Rob-ertson Longest of Reedville and Otelia Rebecca (Becky) Robertson of Warsaw; son, Howard Carter Robertson Jr. (wife Denise) of Louisa; two grandchildren, Staff Sgt. Howard Carter Robertson III (fiancé Jennifer) of New Cumberland, Pa., and Jessie Michele Robertson (hus-band Kenny) of Louisa; five great-grandchildren, Howard Carter Robertson IV, Aiden Christopher Robertson, Koby Shane Robertson, Jack Conner Westbrook and Sean Peyton Westbrook; sisters, Francis Kathleen Wissig of Ellicott City, Md., and Mary Ann Rogers Ridgway (hus-band Lew) of Ophelia; and brothers, John W.

Otelia had numerous nieces and nephews whom she loved and was devoted to as if they were her own children.
Otelia started her career at C&P Telephone in Washing-ton, D.C., right after gradu-ating from Heathsville High School. She then worked many years at Tidewater Tele-phone and retired from Con-tinental Telephone in Warsaw. She started a second career at the Essex County School Board Office in Tappahan-nock and worked there until illness prevented her from continuing.
Otelia was a member of the Professional Secretaries Association (PSA) for many wonderful years and took much pleasure in going to their annual meetings. Otelia was a lifelong member of Fairfields United Methodist Church in Burgess, having
been on every committee there was and had many years of enjoyment singing in the choir.
Otelia’s love for life was an inspiration to all who knew her. She fought hard for every day she was still on earth. Otelia’s main love was her family. She was totally devoted to them and loved to pamper them in so many ways. She had many other loves including playing golf with her husband and son. She loved doing needle work and family and friends who were honored to have owned something OT made were truly blessed. She loved to go to the local farmers markets every Saturday as she loved to cook fresh vegetables for her family to enjoy.
Otelia will always be remembered for “her goodie bags” that she gave out usu-ally on Sundays. They would include homemade breads, soups or anything she felt someone would like. She will be greatly missed as she was greatly loved.
The family received friends May 1 at Faulkner Family Funeral Home & Crema-tory Inc., Burgess. A funeral service was held May 2 at Fairfields United Methodist Church, Burgess.
Donations in her memory can be made to the Evelyn D. Reinhart Guest House (Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital in Richmond, Va.); Fairfields United Methodist Church, Burgess; Fairfields Volunteer Fire Department, Reedville; Northumberland County Vol-unteer Rescue Squad, Reed-ville; Roseland Cemetery Fund; the Diabetes Associa-tion; or Colon Cancer Pre-vention.

Rev. John Farmer has been the pastor at Irvington Baptist Church since 1986.
The oddest things catch my eye; entice my imagination. Occasion-
ally it will be just a sideways glimpse of something that lingers in my psyche. Usually it is not an object bold. Things that loom directly in front of me are easy with which to deal. It tickles me sometimes how the slightest move-ment (or lack of same) in my peripheral vision will latch on to me and give me great gobs of time just imagining this and that.
Route Three, often called the King’s Highway, is a path I am oft want to trod. All along its path stand monuments of my yesterdays. Here and there stand houses in which childhood friends once dwelt. Over there was a service station; there, a grand spot for teens once to gather. From the town of Kilmarnock to Lively I am taken home again as I go home again to Millenbeck (Slabtown). Right there is where I had my very first flat tire—changed it myself too. ‘Round that bend, just off Route Three, was an old tomato cannery, which in late summer smelled sweet, sometimes putrid.
In my collection of the way it was, I am forced to compare with how it is now. I miss the faces, long for the fel-lowship; yet count the manifold bless-ings.
I vacillate from humor, to remorse, interest to downright nosiness at what is going on over there now…. Hmm, I wonder what they are building there?
Some while ago I measured a church sign. I could almost swear I saw it move. I don’t mean a swinging placard toss-ing to and fro—I mean it looked for all the world as if the timber lurched as I drove on past. So, for the next dozen or so times by I stared with keen interest.
You know what I discovered? The post actually moved, and not from being tossed about by the wind either. It was too proud a post for that.
That beam which held out the sign for Trinity Episcopal Church, Lancaster, had a memory of standing tall in a forest somewhere. It waved to me with sounds of antiquity, of peoples long gone. Depending upon the moisture in our environment the post stretched, or bowed. It twists this and that a way. It is almost imperceptible. But because it once caught my eye it requires constant measure as I drive by again and again. It reminds me of the Sunday Rev. James F. Ferneyhough (Rector 1954-1962) thought as how I was not paying atten-
tion. That’s a whole other story…On some bright mornings the post
hung its head a bit and the sign drooped toward the neighboring asphalt. At other times it reared back, chest out and banner high. On other days it seemed to be military erect, called to attention by authorities unknown, unheard. The tree was long gone from which he had been hewn. Her branches withered, leaves rotted. The chap who took her life may be gone too. I suspect the saw that cut her from life is dull, maybe abandoned. The mill, which drew and quartered its harvest probably was dismantled and moved to more fertile a forest.
One only imagines that the post, though dead, lives again. It can be moved and twisted by the whisper of our Creator’s voice. I hear it sing, “alive, alive again, living still. I have a job to
do. Here I stand to announce the name of the family of faith who worships here.” Perhaps the post heard “If I be lifted up I will draw…”
Another post came to mind as I mea-sured the Trinity sentry. My dad once built a sumptuous condo for purple martins, which used to live all along our Corrotoman shore. It was a three-decker, with round holes on four sides and a nice railing an inch or so tall which fenced in the perimeter. It lived atop a four-by-four.
Some days the unit would bend toward the river. On other days it would snap erect. I imagined that it sometimes turned a bit just to play with the mar-tins, to see if it could confuse them as
to which hole was home. The martins went away. Dad got too feeble to keep the struc-ture fit. The paint blew off. The railings failed. A storm snapped the foundation, dropped the house into the river where it washed ashore. It deteriorated on a pile in the
back lot, eventually fueling a brush fire. For a few years longer the post, bolted to the seawall, held firm, then too retired. Dad died.
Those posts remind me of another. It too once lived in a forest but found new life. It is sung about in my mind and heart, even when the church is silent. “On a hill far away, stood an old rugged cross… that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, has a wondrous attraction for me… for ‘twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died… So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it someday for [My] crown.”
