Urbanna Harbor Gallery & Art Services at 202 Virginia Street in Urbanna will present an art exhibition by Jacquie Colligan July 13 through Sep-tember 21.
The one-woman show, “Hot Flashes…Cool Splashes!” will feature Colligan’s paintings as well as her jewelry. Among the paintings are several large, vividly color-infused non-representational pieces and a number of intimate landscapes, according to Barbara Hartley of the gallery.
A member of the Northern Neck/Middle Peninsula art com-munity, Jacquie has adopted the essence of the regional culture, history, and work ethic, endeav-oring to infuse it into her art-work and jewelry designs, said Hartley. Her boldness of atti-tude and design resulted from her earlier life experiences.
The daughter of a State Department architect, Colli-gan has been a world traveler since childhood. Her father
taught bridge construction, village aqueduct and sanita-tion engineering techniques to indigenous peoples the world over. From an early cartogra-phy expedition, he mapped the uncharted Amazon River in Brazil for future generations. After living in Pakistan for a year, Colligan returned to her home in Washington, D.C., traveling around the globe alone at age 16. Her collected memories, exotic art items and artifacts wove the tapestry of a provocative artistic style, no matter the media.
Jacquie’s work has been featured in several regional venues, and she is well received on a much larger scale. In 2009, she became an artist member of the Virginia Watercolor Soci-ety, the result of having been selected for exhibition in three annual juried VWS shows.
In 2011, at the VWS annual conference and exhibition which was held in Kilmarnock, Colligan’s painting, “Electric
Sky” won the “Award of Dis-tinction.” Later that year, a com-panion painting was selected to hang at the annual Central Vir-ginia Watercolor Guild’s Show in Charlottesville. She was the first artist east of Richmond in five decades to attain this hon-orific level, said Hartley.
There is a consistent demand for her handcrafted jewelry, each piece a one-of-a-kind work of art. Her pieces incorporate semi-precious stone, metal and beads acquired by her husband’s world travel, especially Asia. Always seeking perfection, she earned her Level-One certif ica-tion to teach Art Clay Silver. This is a process made with pure silver powder, water and a bonding agent. When dry, the shaped clay is f ired to 1600°F, leaving 99.9% pure silver.
Colligan’s paintings and jew-elry will be on display for sale at Urbanna Harbor Gallery. Hours generally are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Satur-days.
The Animal Welfare League’s eighth annual Purrrfect Compan-ion Cat Photo Contest deadline is July 13.
The theme will be “Quotable Cats,” said president Judy Harvell. The AWL is hoping that cat owners will submit photos of their feline companions with clever captions.
Photos will be displayed at the AWL Thrift Shop at 75 South Main Street in Kilmarnock from July 14 through July 28, said Harvell.
Customers will be asked to vote for their favorite. A $3 donation per entry is requested. Winners will be notified July 30.
For further guidelines, call 435-0822, or visit the AWL Thrift Shop from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
Entries are solicited for annual cat photo contest
The Computer Genealogy Group will meet at 1 p.m. Thursday, July 12, at Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury near Irvington.
Ron Milhills will speak on Family Tree Maker genealogy software. He has used this soft-ware for many years and is familiar with many of the nuances includ-ing those in the latest version.
Mihills began searching his family genealogy more than 40 years ago based on documents from the 1930s. His research included frequent visits to the Family His-tory Library in Salt Lake City and the New England Historic Genea-logical Society Library in Boston as well as tramping through New England cemeteries in search of lost relatives. The research for the oldest records led to a church in Rowley, England, for 1600s docu-ments.
He is a member of three lineage societies: Sons of the American Revolution, Descendants of Wash-ington’s Army at Valley Forge and Order of Founders and Patriots of America.

Jacquie Colligan’s one-woman show opens July 13 in Urbanna
Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury (RW-C) recently announced Ellie Galloway, the Alzheimer’s Association Middle Peninsula/Northern Neck branch coordinator, on July 19 will present “Know the Ten Signs.”
The talk is a part of Mind and Muscle, A Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury Well-ness Series. Galloway’s pre-sentation will begin at 11 a.m. at 132 Lancaster Drive near Irvington.
“Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia, and will cause memory loss, impaired judgment, disorienta-tion, confusion, and behavioral changes. Yet it’s something people don’t often talk about,” said Galloway.
There is reluctance within the public to visit a doctor once
Alzheimer’s Association coordinator to speaksigns or symptoms of any form of dementia are noticed, she said. Fear and the stigma attached to the disease often make people reluctant to seek treatment.
She will discuss reversible forms of dementia, steps to get-ting a diagnosis, and benefits of early detection.
Donald and Christy Talbott also will speak. Donald Talbott showed symptoms of Alzheim-er’s at age 39 and was diagnosed with the disease at age 41. The Talbotts will share their inspir-ing story of how they manage this devastating disease with grace, dignity and humor.
The Mind and Muscle Series highlights the need for people of all ages to take care of them-selves, said vice president for development Whiz Harris.
A complimentary buffet lun-cheon will be served following
the presentation.Reservations are required.
Call 438-4000 on, or after, July 9. RW-C maintains a waiting list and will honor reservations in the order received.

The cost of the trip is $48, based on a minimum of 43 people. Bus money is non-refundable unless the trip is cancelled or there is a waiting list, she said.
A morning snack and after-noon wine and cheese will
be provided to the group. A list of free special exhibits in the National Mall area will be available as well as a map, said Carter.
The bus will depart from Walmart in Kilmarnock promptly at 7:30 a.m. There also will be a pick-up at Har-mony Grove Church. The bus will drop off the group at the National Gallery of Art, and at 3:30 p.m., the bus will depart there for home. Arrival time in Kilmarnock will be approximately 6 to 7 p.m.
Reservations should be made by July 19. To make res-ervations, call the Studio Gal-lery at 436-9309, or Carter at 436-1106.

The members will then design plans that will be discussed at the next meet-ing, she said. This will be a learning experience that will demonstrate the cre-ativity among the mem-

Virginia graduated from Stuart Hall in 1943 at age 16, where she was a member of ELA, the school’s library honor society. She attended Mary Baldwin College where she was business man-ager for both the Campus Comments and Miscellany publications, graduating first in her class in 1947. She worked summers at the Staunton Library and was a member of the Spinsters’ Club of Staunton.
After a graduate year in advertising at The Univer-sity of Texas at Austin, she worked as a copywriter in Richmond for both Miller & Rhoads and The Richmond Times-Dispatch.
At the end of her first mar-riage, she returned to her hometown of Staunton to raise her children and work as alumnae director, and later public relations direc-tor, at Mary Baldwin from 1963-1980. She wrote and edited many publications while there, including creat-ing the alumnae cookbook “From Ham to Jam.” She also served on the Staunton Zoning Board of Appeals.
In the 1980s she contin-ued working with educa-tion publications, including for the Presbyterian School of Christian Education and NAFSA / Association of International Educators.

the public schools. She also was an active member of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America /Virginia and The Associa-tion of the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities. A life-long Episcopalian, she was a member of Grace Episco-pal Church in Kilmarnock.
Virginia lived a life of curiosity, learning, and love for the written word. Her school friends called her “Worth” and knew her for her smarts and wit. Her children knew her as a woman of strong will and high expectations who held robust dinner table conver-sations and led business-like family meetings, and loved to laugh. Her mission was to provide them with a well-rounded education both at home and school. And she was an inspiration to many women over the years for handling her life’s chal-lenges with grace, wisdom, and courage.
The family wishes to thank the staff of RW-C—most especially at the Health Care Center, Hospice of Vir-ginia, and MCV’s Critical Care Unit for their kind and skilled attention.

Look out for the animals!Be sure your animals have on proper identification, should they become so scared they run off. Most
animals are scared to death of storms and fireworks and you do not want to lose your beloved pet.
Keep an eye out for any animal you might see that is in need of help. If you see an animal tied without proper shade and water, please call your local Animal Control Officer or your local Sheriff’s Department
and report the situation.
Watch for dogs left in automobiles. Leaving windows open a little for the dog will not do the trick. They can die in minutes in a hot car. Time will be of the essence--call the local authorities immediately for
help for the dog.
Remember, we all are the voice for the animals. If you cannot help them yourself, please call someone
that can----immediately---- while there is still time!

Inside Out & Upside Down on Main Street
St. Mary’s Whitechapel Episcopal Church and Cor-rotoman Baptist Church will host a showing of “The Way” Friday, July 13, at St. Mary’s Whitechapel.
The event will include a church potluck supper at 6 p.m. and movie at 6:30 p.m. followed by discussion of the movie themes.
Movie night is a recent monthly event shared by the parishioners of Corrotto-man Baptist and St. Mary’s Whitechapel and we hope that others in the community will join us for this special July movie night, said the Rev. Torrence Harman.
“The Way” depicts one man’s “pilgrimage” walk on the Camino de Santiago (The Way of St. James), a pilgrim-age journey of about three months. The main charac-ter, Dr. Tom Avery, played by Martin Sheen, begins his journey to follow the route
planned by his son who died attempting the same pilgrim-age. Sheen’s real life son, Emilio Estevez, plays the son, Daniel Avery.
Like a modern day Chaucer, Tom will meet various other “characters” along the way, said Rev. Harman. Each has a story to tell that will emerge, mile by mile. Each will dis-cover more about themselves and form unexpected rela-tionships with those they meet during their travel.
Dean Hinnant, Rev. Har-man’s eldest grandson, will assist with the discus-sion following the showing of the movie. He walked approximately 90 miles of the Camino de Santiago last fall with several friends while on a mission trip to Spain.
There will be a short eve-ning prayer service at the St. Mary’s Whitechapel Laby-rinth preceding the supper and movie.
Prayer, dinner, movie anddiscussion are slated July 13
The Families Pittman, Burke, Holt, Simmons, Farmer and Cothran are all engrossed with all things babies. Our sons, Rob and Justin, and their spouses, Sarah Beth and Melissa, have been great with child for long enough to have grown weary of the load. Therefore, starting this past Tuesday they delivered their precious sons: Finley (Tuesday) and Nolan (Wednes-day), just hours apart.
Melissa managed to make it to Richmond’s St. Mary’s.
Our Sarah Beth was admitted to a Bon Secours Hospital down here in low country, West Ashley, S.C.
Melissa delivered early due to com-plications. Their son Finley (at the time of this writing) is having a tough time.
Both babies have given this old preacher time upon his knees. Finley took us to prayer before he was born as his mom tried to hang on to him a wee bit longer. Since his birth, he has yo-yoed a bit. His little lungs are weak. He is so tiny.
Nolan, on the other hand, only suf-fers from skin abrasion manipula-tions by Grandma Hazel, Aunt Jenny, Granddaddy Santa, mom Sarah Beth and dad Rob. His big brother, Porter, is infatuated with Nolan, so very proud to be a Big Brother (that is what his three new shirts announce).
We parents marvel at the fact that Justin and Rob have been best friends since kindergarten… both their first-borns have been preemies with weak lungs, thereby causing both families heavy prayer concerns.
Our lads and a cadre of their North-ern Neck contemporaries fled south after college. They’ve popped home for weddings, and Christmases, summer vacations and so forth. However, South Carolina has become their home.
I doubt that Melissa Burke wants to hear this, but down the road a bit her second child will be a hunk from the get-go. Porter, too, was a fragile babe. Little brother Nolan is quite the oppo-site.
Meanwhile all our prayers are now focused God-ward on Finley’s behalf.
We of course tripped south to the low country to be on hand to welcome baby Pittman. Once I was blessed to know our ninth grandchild was OK, I sat about to help heal Finley.
About noon on Wednesday, I sought a place near the hospital to get away to pray. My grandson Porter showed me the bear tree. Said he, “It is where the bears live, granddaddy.” Out in front of the St. Francis Bon Secours Hospital down here is an ancient oak tree. I am guessing it would have a girth of over 12 feet. I say “would have” because a century or so ago the tree split in twain— trunks now horizontal with God’s earth. In that divided attitude,
both damaged trunks have continued to live, to grow. The trunks are right on the turf, the space twixt and ‘tween wide enough through which to drive a motorcycle with a sidecar. They stand in their horizontal attitude at over six feet tall, and their wingspan exceeds sixty feet (mind you I was pacing in 100 degree sunshine, whew!). At its narrowest point, it is well over six feet wide.
Later that day, yesterday, and today I have stealthed myself away just to pray for the lads, especially Finley. My chapel was the shade of that majes-tic tree hung ‘round with garlands of Spanish moss. So holy was my spot of quietude that it reminded me of a poem, learned long ago:
Trees, by Joyce Kilmer (1886–1918): “I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest against the sweet earth’s flowing breast; a tree that looks at God all day, and lifts her leafy arms to pray; a tree that may in summer wear a nest of robins in her hair; upon whose bosom snow has lain; who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree.”
When deployed to Europe during World War I (1914–1918), Kilmer was considered the leading American Catholic poet and lecturer of his gen-eration. Sgt. Kilmer, a member of the Fighting 69th Infantry Regiment, was tragically killed in action. The poem was found in his 1913 notebook at his home in New Jersey.
Any path which one’s feet might trod gives a view of a tree or forest. That phrase alone might be just enough to get some wayward youth or damaged adult back on the road to God. There are more trees than Christians. There are more trees than churches.
Over the course of my ministry, I have tried to get lads and lasses acquainted with this poem. I have brought it out in Sunday School classes, Bible studies; I have added it to days when young-sters were home from school sick, or sent there to reflect on bad behavior… I have given it to young people when times were hard, and words were few. Occasionally I have encouraged folks to learn to sing the poem to the tune penned by Oscar Rasbach in 1922. I have such fond memories of Nelson Eddy and Robert Merrill singing it on our radio when I was a lad. The Voice of Firestone, with John Daly, featured these gents often.
If I can get folks to memorize this poem, they will always remember “only God can make a tree.”
Reflectionsby Rev. John Farmer
Rev. John Farmer has been the pastor at Irvington Baptist Church since 1986.
Every June a handful of young men and women arrive in the area from Camp Hanover near Mechanicsville to spend a week doing com-munity service and learning to sail while camped in tents at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church.
Now in its 20th year, Nail and Sail is a week-long adventure program for Camp Hanover youths spon-sored by St. Andrews and Kiwanis of Kilmarnock in partnership with the North-ern Neck Sail and Power Squadron, said Ray Reuter
Nail and Sail charts local courseof the squadron.
In the morning the teens scatter throughout the area doing community projects, assisting the elderly and per-forming home maintenance for the needy, said Reuter. Their reward is an afternoon of fun on the water.
After the community ser-vice projects are completed in the morning, the group moves to Yankee Point Marina to enjoy a sail/paddle program in the afternoon, he said. Yankee Point Marina hosts the sailing program which includes mini lessons
on hypothermia, oil spills, emergency use of VHF marine radios, fire extin-guishers, and knot tying, all conducted by Northern Neck Sail and Power Squadron.
The boats and equipment were all donated by Yankee Point Marina, said Reuter.
“The ultimate reward for the squadron’s efforts in part-nership with Camp Hanover and St. Andrews is to have prepared a new generation of civic-minded adults and safety-minded boaters,” he said.
Participants included stu-dents AJ. Ballsrud, Bryan Bishop, Goldie Daniels, Kendall Daniels, Parker Daniels, Landon Danger-field, Will Hassenger, Lily Nash, Huntley Polanshek and Charlie Westmoreland; counselors Max Gruenther and Kaylyn McGhee and squadron members Tom Linville, Dave Herndon, Mike Steel, Judy Cook, Dave Cook, Helen Kelley, Nancy Williams and Edee Withers.
White Stone Baptist Church will hold vacation Bible school from 6 to 8:30 p.m. July 16 through 20.
Children will learn about stories that Jesus told that turned lives inside out and upside down, reported Matthew Wood of the WSBC publicity commit-tee.
They also will see how those stories can make a difference in the lives of people who live on today’s Main Street and in our villages and towns, said Wood.
Lively music, crafts, games, and snacks are all included to make Bible school fun for all, he said.
Children ages 3 through those in grade 10 are wel-come. The adventure will conclude with a family
cookout and program on Friday.

In September of 2011, Bethel United Methodist Church in Lively cel-ebrated its bicentennial with a large homecoming service. In addition to celebrating with music and worship, a committee was formed to write the church’s 200-year history.
Chaired by Margaret L. Forrester, this history committee also included Deborah Revere Beuchelt, Alice Talley Coates, James A. Coates, Jr., Jane L. Savin, Anita Conner Tadlock and Norman E. Tadlock.
The result of over two years of research and writing by Bethel’s history committee and others in the congregation is Bethel Is God’s House; White Chappell to Bethel 1811-
2011, said Forrester. The 196-page book is divided into three sections which cover the history of White Chapel Methodist Episco-pal Church (the name by which Bethel UMC was called from 1811-1875), “Old Bethel” Methodist Church (1875- 1962), and Bethel United Methodist Church (1962-2011).
Brief histories of Emmanuel United Meth-odist Church, St. Mary’s Whitechapel Episcopal Church and White Marsh Church Inc. also are included, she said. An appendix follows which contains a transcription of the Bethel UMC cem-etery (Bethel-Emmanuel Charge). An index, compiled by A. Cynthia Weber, completes the
book.To help defray the
costs of Bethel Is God’s House, many members of the Bethel family made donations in memory of or in honor of loved ones and the history commit-tee greatly appreciates their gifts, said Forrester. Donations are still being accepted and copies of the book are also available for sale at Bethel UMC. The books may be pur-chased for $15 each at the church office from 9 to 11:30 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Orders also may be phoned in at 462-5790. An additional $5 is charged for all mail orders. The funds will go to the Memorial Fund of the church.
