Boys and Girls Club plansgala for New Year’s Eve

Justin Burke comes home to Lan-caster County this week to promote his first CD, “Southern Son So Far.”

Burke, a 2001 graduate of Lan-caster High School and a graduate of Radford University, is a weekend war-rior. A property manager by day, he plays folk-Americana country music at night and on the weekends.

The CD is being released this month and he’ll have a release party at Sevens in White Stone Wednesday, January 30, at 9 p.m.

“It’s going to be the party of the year,” said Burke, who lives in Charleston, S.C. He’ll also host release parties in Richmond at Cary Street Cafe Janu-ary 2 and in Charleston January 12.

Burke began performing with a band called the Mother Funkers while at Radford.

“We were doing it just for fun and then got pretty good and started get-ting paid to perform,” he said. “That’s when I realized it was a career I would love.”

Right now, Burke is his own man-ager and promoter, but he has meet-ings set with producers in Nashville and Seattle.

“It’s all happening. It’s starting to happen right now,” he said.

Burke wrote all the songs on his CD and says they’re “true stories in a metaphorical sense. A few are lit-

The Lancaster Players will hold audi-tions for “The Murder Room” at 7 p.m. January 4 and 5 at The Playhouse in White Stone. Performance dates are March 4 through 14.

Director Dick Saxer seeks men and women of all ages for roles in this Eng-lish mystery/farce which critics have described as “Agatha Christie meets Monty Python meets Abbott & Cos-tello.”

The characters are Edgar Hollister, a member of the landed gentry; Mavis Templeton Hollister, his very recent bride; Mrs. Lottie Molloy, their house-keeper; James Crandall, an inspector of police; Abel Howard, police constable; Susan Hollister, Edgar’s daughter; and Barry Draper, Susan’s American fiancé.

“The play starts with a murder, adds romantic intrigue and dashes of lunacy and a multitude of plot twists,” said Saxer. “I have wanted to present this play for a long time and would love to see a large turnout of actors for the auditions.”

Saxer is a retired school superin-tendent and university professor. He lives in Reedville. He has directed and appeared in numerous productions in the area. With The Lancaster Players, Saxer directed “Arsenic and Old Lace” and appeared in “Promises, Promises” and “California Suite.”

He directed “Carousel,” “Fiddler On

Party-goers to the New Year’s eve gala at the Boys and Girls Club

of the Northern Neck will dance to the music of The Russell Carter Experience.

Featuring rhythm and blues, jazz and funk, saxophonist Rus-sell O’Neil Carter says the band will “mix it up” with a lot of dance music and finish with jazz.

Carter is a 1973 graduate of Lancaster High School where he got his musical start as a member of the marching and concert bands. He performed with the Ojays and with the late Cab Calloway and has a CD titled “Yesterday’s Tomor-rows.”

The saxophonist will appear with band members including vocal-ist Clynt Hyson, Keith Holmes on trumpet, Steve Benson on guitar and sons Roland on piano, Russell Jr. on drums and Rashaan on bass. Backing up the band will be a disc jockey to offer continuous music throughout the evening.

Brock’s Barbeque of Richmond will cater the dinner. The menu includes fish, chicken, steamed and spiced shrimp, barbeque and desserts. There will be a cham-pagne toast, cash bar, party favors and midnight breakfast.

eral. A lot of them have to do with my wife, Melissa, and my mom and dad. It’s a very family-oriented record, that’s why it’s labeled folk. It’s a lot of simple beauty in every song.”

The folk-Americana genre is “country music of old with a modern twist,” said Burke. “It’s not truly the country music you hear on the radio right now.”

Burke is the son of Fred and Karen Burke of Weems.

the Roof,” and “A Bad Year For Toma-toes” for the Center For The Arts, and appeared in “Finian’s Rainbow,” (title role) “That Winslow Woman,” “Every-thing A Good Traveler Should Know,” Brigadoon” and “Of Thee I Sing.”

Of special note is his 2000 produc-tion of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” on the grounds of “Springfield” in Heathsville. He also has performed a one-man show, “An Evening With Mark Twain” for local charities and appeared in a locally produced movie, “Poor Thing.”

■ Salvation ArmyThe Salvation Army recently launched

its “Annual Million Dollar March Against Hunger,” according to local chairman Dianna Carter. Since 90 percent of the donation goes to help those in need, giving to the local Salvation Army is the best “investment” to help friends and neighbors in Lancaster, said Carter.

Send donations to The Salvation Army, c/o Dianna Carter, 1229 Weems Road, Weems, VA 22576. To volunteer, call 438-6322.

Some $6,800 raised by the 14th annual Fairfields Fall Festival Arts and Crafts Show in October was returned to the community in the form of donations to chari-table organizations.

The organizations receiving donations include Covington-Hurst Education Fund, Interfaith Service Counsel, Northern Neck Free Health Clinic, Northumberland County Sheriff’s Department Safe & Secure Program, Fairfields Volunteer Fire Department, Callao Volunteer Fire Department, Mid-County Volunteer Rescue Squad, Nothumberland Volunteer Rescue Squad, Northumberland County Schools Discretionary Funds, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Northumberland High School Reserve Officers Training Corps.

At their December 16 breakfast meeting, Northern Neck Kiwanis members wrapped Christmas gifts for several Lancaster and Northumberland county fami-lies.

Each year the club provides coats, shoes and toys for children, a small appliance, a turkey and/or ham, and a grocery store gift certificate for the family. “Santa” and his helpers will deliver the gifts Christmas Eve to 32 children and their families.

“We couldn’t have done it without the help of many club members and several community businesses. In particular, Peebles Department Store went above and beyond expectations. They not only provided us with an extra hour in the store, store manager Stephanie Mays and several knowledgeable employees worked with us to select shoes and coats, suggesting sizes and styles, and helped make the best use of the store’s discounts. Not only were we helping local families, we wanted to make sure we worked with local businesses,” said Kiwanis president M.J. Chewn-ing,

The board of trustees of the Northern Neck Rotary Charitable Trust recently announced the distribution of $17,000 to local charities and programs in Lancaster and Northumberland counties.

The funds represent proceeds from the Northern Neck Rotary Club’s annual CAP-INNÉ Dinner and Auction. Trust treasurer, Ken Knull, said checks have been mailed in hopes they will be received to meet the time of greatest need for many organiza-tions.

CAPINNÉ is derived from the motto of the event “Caring About People In the Northern Neck,” said event chairman Dick Slember.

The generosity of individuals and businesses in the area is phenomenal, accord-ing to Rotarian Linda Morris. Merchants are continually solicited for many worthy causes throughout the year, but find an extra measure to assist in the CAPINNÉ effort. They donate items which are offered for auction at the gala as well as cash donations. They also purchase advertising in the event catalog.

Due to the downturn in the economy, net proceeds are down a bit from past years in a time of great need, said Slember. However, attendees were very generous in their bids for items offered both on silent and live auctions.

As a result of this year’s generosity, three scholarships will be offered in the coming year.

Organizations receiving assistance this year include:• Bay Aging, for Meals on Wheels and MedCarry.• The Haven Shelter & Services, for the Court Advocacy Program for victims who

pursue legal remedies for abuse through Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.• The Rappahannock General Hospital Cancer Center’s Indigent Patient Fund, to

help pay for outpatient medications for pain and nausea associated most often with cancer chemotherapy.

• Hospice Support Services of the Northern Neck, to purchase incontinence sup-plies and dietary supplements.

• The Lancaster/Northumberland Interfaith Service Council, to help provide assis-tance to families in need.

• The Boy’s and Girls Club of the Northern Neck, to help provide programs and activities for youth ages 6-18.

• Three Rivers Healthy Families, to help provide parent educational and support programs beginning with prenatal and continuing until the child enters school.

• The Northern Neck Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program, to help advocate for the best interests of children involved in the juvenile and domestic relations district court process.

• The Northern Neck Free Health Clinic, to help provide medical, dental and phar-maceutical health care to uninsured working poor.

• Lancaster/Northumberland Habitat for Humanity to help build houses for those who need them.

• Alzheimer’s Association, to help provide services to those struggling with dementia.

■ Burke to perfom Singer-songwriter Colleen Burke

will perform original songs Wednesday, December 23, from 8 to 9 p.m. at Seven Martini Bar and Restaurant in White Stone. Immediately following her set, she will sing with Itchy Dog to 11 p.m.

■ Fruit ordersKilmarnock Seventh-Day Adventist

Church citrus fruit orders for January should be called in by January 4 to 435-1252, 580-5376 or 435-2048. Orders are to be picked up on January 14. Dried fruit and nuts also will be available.

Rev. John Farmer has been the pastor at Irvington Baptist Church since 1988.

A merry Christmas to everyone

I have celebrated Christmas in Virginia, Carolina, Hawaii, Kentucky, Tennessee, New York, Massachusetts, and yes, even Germany.

It was a tough fi rst Christmas alone when I welcomed Santa ashore from a surfboard in Hawaii. More mundane local customs prevailed here stateside.

While abroad I’ve toured museums and grazed upon all sorts of European fare as we nudged and trudged into one Christmas Market after another.

A few years ago when in Mainz, Ger-many, I got to print my very own copy of the fi rst page of the Gospel of John on the Gutenberg press. A Christmas gift for me, printed by me, which hangs proudly upon my church offi ce wall.

Did you know that there is a pocket of American appreciation at Antwerp, Nether-lands. Those lowland Dutch chaps haven’t forgotten that our chaps set them free of Nazi domination. They are so grateful to the Allied Forces. American fl ags dot the land-scape still. I teared up at the thought of how many moms and dads had sad Christmases because of all our worldwide battlefi eld endeavors. I found comfort in the fact that those parents of our sacrifi ced WWII lads, those families accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior, are now reunited through Christ. I couldn’t fi nish the Liberation Museum tour. It was too emotional. It was so refreshing to witness American patriotism abroad, while so often here it is hid behind political cor-rectness.

Don’t forget our troops and their families this Christmas.

Out of the museum I found healing in the gift shop and café, where Dutch boys and girls, the age of my grandchildren, were practicing Christmas music to be presented at another dedicated spot on the property, a column of peace. They sparkled with the Christmas spirit.

On another of our Rhine River tie-ups, a

local children’s choir came aboard to sing Christmas into our hearts. Someone inquired about the audition process. Their director beamed and in closely structured English said: “Oh, I take all children. All God’s chil-dren can sing.”

We toured a number of grand cathedrals. The artwork, the windows, the soaring archi-tecture, the majestic organs and choirs were awe-inspiring.

Hazel and I were standing bug-eyed in front of the Cathedral at Cologne, Germany, the landmark spared by the Allied forces. Can you fathom a structure drawn up and turned over and over to generations of arti-sans who took hundreds of years to complete

it? Throughout its construction they did not trifl e with the original design.

Hazel asked me what I was thinking about as I gawked around the Cathedral Square.

The words rushed out: Jesus said that the Temple of God rests in the hearts of men and women who believe in him. As grand, as lovely, as beautiful as everything around me was, human hands made it all. Time was its enemy, stones fall, scaffolds were appended to the structure. God was reminding me that he had a house not built by hands, rather by love.

I found it refreshing that not one person in those three European countries wished me a “Happy Holiday, Seasons Greetings.” Hun-dreds did greet us with “Merry Christmas.”

Do you know the story? Read it with me: “In those days a decree went out from

Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the fi rst registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor

of Syria. All went to their own towns to be registered. Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child.

“While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her fi rstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

“In that region there were shepherds living in the fi elds, keeping watch over their fl ock by night. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrifi ed.

“But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Mes-siah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will fi nd a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!’

“When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.’

“So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger.

“When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them.

“But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart.

The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them,” (Luke 2:1-20).
