The community-based Northern Neck Orchestra, now in rehearsal for its 26th season, is welcoming new players into its
ranks. Joining the string section are violinists Charles
Stout of Henrico and Connor Skelly of Glen Allen, and violist Khalid Ward of Newport News. Elizabeth Roberts, bassoon, of Crozet will join the woodwinds, and Bennie Green, trumpet, of Reedville will join the brass section.
Newcomers and seasoned members of the NNO are rehearsing under the baton of conductor Michael Repper, who is beginning his first full season as music director of the NNO.
Members of the orchestra come with a variety of musical backgrounds, ranging from years of experience with major symphony orchestras to gifted amateurs, including advanced students
performing with a full symphony orchestra for the first time. Based in the Northern Neck, the orchestra performs in Middlesex, Lancaster and Northumberland counties. Players come from all over Eastern Virginia. A survey of the roster reveals that about one-third of the players have been with the NNO for six to ten years.
Board member and liaison Brian Thacker, a member of the brass section, says that he is delighted with the new additions to the ensemble.
Additional positions are available in the string, wind and other sections, said Thacker. He invites musicians interested in joining the group to visit northernneckorchestra.org and to contact [email protected].
Operating without interruption since its found-ing in 1990, the NNO brings a full spectrum of orchestral music to the community.
In the coming season, Repper will conduct works by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mahler and American composers including Randall Thomp-son. The Thompson piece, a choral work based on the poems of Robert Frost, will feature the Chesa-peake Chorale along with the orchestra.
For 2016-17 season tickets, visit northernneck-orchestra.org.
The NNO is funded through ticket sales, dona-tions from private citizens, advertising from local businesses and grants from the Bank of Lancaster, the Bay Trust, the Rappahannock Foundation for the Arts, the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Domin-ion Foundation, the River Counties Community Foundation, the Lula & Mason Cole Charitable Trust and the Tidewater Foundation and its annual fundraising event, the Holly Ball.

“These brave and selfless men and women are the first line of defense against vio-lent criminals and terrorists who threaten the peace and security of our community,” he said.

Alzheimer’s Association Caregiver Support Groups are designed to provide emotional, educational and social support for caregivers through regularly scheduled meetings.
They also help participants develop methods and skills to solve problems, reported regional director Ellie Galloway.
The groups encourage caregivers to maintain their own per-sonal, physical and emotional health, as well as optimally care for the person with dementia.
Groups meet from 10:30 a.m. to noon on fourth Thursdays at Commonwealth Assisted Living—Kilmrnock, 460 South Main Street, Kilmarnock and from 4:30 to 6 p.m. first Mondays at Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury, 132 Lancaster Drive, Irvington.
A new group is forming at Abilities Abound, 765 Northum-berland Highway, Callao. The new group will meet on second Thursdays beginning October 13. For details, contact Galloway at 695-9382 or 800-272-3900 or [email protected].
Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Rose Jr. of Weems announce the engagement of their daughter, Ashley L. Rose, to M. Logan Nonnemacker Jr., the son of Mr. and Mrs Michael L. Non-nemacker of Kilmarnock.
A fall 2017 wedding is planned. Miss Rose, a graduate of Christopher Newport Uni-versity, is employed with Navy Federal Credit Union.
Nonnemacker, also a gradu-ate of Christopher Newport University, is employed with ABC Supply Co. Inc. They both live in Chesapeake.
The 21st annual Fairf ields Fall Festival will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sep-tember 24 on the grounds of Fairf ields UMC, 4741 Nor-thumberland Highway, Bur-gess.
One of the festival features will be North Carolina-style pork barbecue, reported Bob Matthews. The barbecue will be served by the sand-wich or by the platter. It can be eaten in or taken out.
The barbecue also will be available in one pound con-tainers, said Mathews. It freezes well and makes great winter lunches.
The festival offers some-thing for everybody, he said. There will be a variety of crafts, plenty of free kid’s stuff, baked goods, home-made soups, a silent auction and White Elephant table.
Musical entertainment will be provided from 11
The Friends of the Northum-berland Public Library will hold two fundraisers in September.
An English tea will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. September 18 at the home of Linda and Walter Montross. Tickets are $25.
Tickets can be purchased at the Northumberland Public Library, 7204 Northumberland Highway, Heathsville. Direc-tions to Aurora are available at the library.
This is the third year that Linda Montross has been the hostess and the first at her home, Aurora, which faces due east on Ingram Bay in the Wicomico Church area of Northumberland County.
“My husband loves to cook, so I realized that if I wanted to do anything in the kitchen it would be tea parties,” she said. “It allows me to use my collec-tion of cups and saucers and all the lovely things that I inherited from my mother and have col-lected for decades.”
Since she started keeping
track in 1995, this is her 74th English tea, mostly for family and friends, she said.
In addition to the serving items, there will be sandwiches, scones, and of course, tea. A number of volunteers are pre-paring the food, including her own assignment of dozens of scones, said Montross.
A photography workshop will be conducted by professional photographer Bill Harrison from 7 to 9 p.m. September 22 and 29 at the library. Tuition is $25 per class, or $45 for both. Register at the library.
“The workshop content is based on problems and concerns people have voiced to me over
the past several years. I have put them in several categories in order to cover those topics in a logical way,” said Harrison.
The first session will be a discussion of what the attend-ees want to cover, followed by hands-on instruction, he said. At the end, the participants are given assignments to take shots and bring their images to the second session for critique and follow-up. Discussion topics include dealing with close-up work, using perspective/com-position, capturing difficult sub-jects, getting abstract qualities, and using digital-age cameras.
“Some digital-age cameras have little challenges that can get in the way, such as LCD screens, no viewfinders, and big operat-ing manuals or no manuals. But generally, some basic challenges are the same for film and digital cameras, such as lighting, auto focus vs. manual focus, adding flash to existing lights, and dif-ferent ways to capture motion in subjects,” said Harrison.
Explosive changes in photo technologies in recent years have turned many folks into avid, if amateur, photographers and photo “snappers.”
Changes in how folks take, sort, view and share family and vacation photos – including now the pervasive “selfies”—make photography the equal of other daily experiences revolu-tionized since the advent of the digital era, reported Bud Ward. So much so that professional photographer Steve Kancianic, a Certified Professional Photog-rapher and owner of Yours Truly Photography in Kilmarnock, includes an exclamation point above his shop door noting “We develop film!”
Kancianic will provide insights into the “Evolution of Photography” at a 3 p.m. pre-sentation on Sunday, Septem-ber 18, at Shiloh School, 1670 Shiloh School Road, Kilmar-nock.
“Just think back to the rapid changes we have all seen in this remarkable area since the days when we use to listen to our
music on 33, 45, and 78 rpm vinyl records,” said Kancianic. “Makes one think of the buggy-whip manufacturers and, more recently, of terms like MS-DOS and floppy disks.”
“It also makes one think ahead to the continuing evo-lution of photography and of cameras and what we may see coming down the road in coming years,” he said.

The Middlesex County Museum will host a fish fry dinner from 4:30 to 7 p.m. October 7 at Christ Church Parish Social Hall, 56 Christ-church Lane, Saluda.
The menu will include fried sea trout, slaw, hushpuppies, drink and a dessert, reported Marilyn South. Takeout and dine-in meals will be available.
The fee is $10 per person. A cash bar will be available (on premises only) with beer and wine for $5 per serving. Diners will be entertained by Jumbo Lump Daddy, Clayton Neale and Jeff Wagner.
Business or individual spon-sorships are available at $100 and $250 and will include two or four dinner tickets, respec-tively, to the event.
Tickets and sponsorships are available at middlesexmuseum.com; the museum, 777 General Puller Highway, Saluda; River Birch; and Coffman’s on the Coast.
The museum’s involvement in activities related to local history include collecting oral histories, providing hands-on workshops, offering educational program-ming, school involvement, and initiating annual recognition for a person, business or orga-nization that has devoted time, money or education related to historic preservation, said South.
The museum seeks to “tell the story” with others about the area’s rich heritage, she said. The museum must raise monies in order to support their indi-vidual mission so they can con-tinue their strong partnerships.

KILMARNOCK—William Ross Gibson, 96, died Sep-tember 2, 2016.
Bill retired to the North-ern Neck 30 years ago. He enjoyed an active retirement being involved in various charitable, social, and faith-related activities as well as boating and golf.
Bill was a World War II vet-eran serving in submarines. He was awarded, among other citations, the Silver Star and Presidential Unit Commen-dation. He remained in the U.S. Navy after the war for 20 years commanding a subma-rine, a destroyer and was exec-utive officer on the Admiral’s flagship for the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean during the Lebanon crisis.
After military service, he
was employed in manage-ment and technical support of NORAD and anti-submarine warfare developments.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Peggy.
He is survived by his sons, Richard, David and Peter; his daughter, Mari; his grandchil-dren, Amy and John David; great-grandchildren, Charlie, Jack and Lila; and brothers, Robert and Richard.
A celebration of life service will be held at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church at 11 a.m. November 5. Interment will be private.
Expressions of sympathy may be made to The David B. Nichols Health Clinic, 16186 Main Ridge Road, Tangier Island, VA 23440; or to the charity of your choice.
SILVER SPRING, MD.—James P. “Slim” Murray Jr., 81, passed away on Septem-ber 7, 2016, surrounded by his loving family after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimer’s disease.
Jim was born and raised in Syracuse, N.Y., where he caddied at Bellevue Country Club and was a standout bas-ketball and baseball player at Rosary High School.
After completing both his undergraduate and master’s degrees at Syracuse Univer-sity, Jim pursued a career in personnel management.
He raised his family in Potomac, Md., and worked almost three decades at the Department of Health and Human Services, where he was director of personnel for the Indian Health Service.
Jim was passionate about everything sports, includ-ing handball, racquetball, golf and tennis. He also spent many years coaching youth soccer in Montgomery County.
Jim loved the Washington Redskins, Terps basketball, Notre Dame, and Jim Brown.
Upon retiring in the late 1980s, Jim moved to White Stone, where he refined his golf game and enjoyed boat-ing and crabbing with his kids
and grandkids. After 71 years of age, Jim
achieved his first hole-in-one, which occurred on the 11th hole at Manor Country Club. He also was a Senior Club Champion at Indian Creek Country Club in Kilmarnock.
Several years ago, upon being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Jim moved back to the D.C. area and resided at Leisure World in Silver Spring, Md. Jim is survived by his loving children, Debbi (Mike), Dan (Yvonne) and Michael (Pam); along with his grandchildren, Dani-elle, Michael, Kaelin, Lydia, McKenna, Eliza, Bradley and Brendan.
Funeral services will be private and held at a later date.

Rev. John Farmer has been the pastor at Irvington Baptist Church since 1986.
Ah, we seem to be heading into a glori-
ous autumn. Annually the experts predict either a col-orless foliage display or not, and the soon-to-be bare branches.
I just love the absolute beauty of our county roads. Late summer, early fall road trips never a chore, delight the eye for sure.
When our youngest chap was in high school, our frequent sojourns to Fork Union Military Academy were daylong memory col-lectors. When that chap’s athleticism and military drumbeats beckoned us, we delighted in the visual change from Tidewater flats to rolling hills. His mom and I were so proud of that Honor Roll Cadet (oh, by the way, we still are). Beginning in Sep-tember, the drive was delightfully colorful.
During that same period our eldest chap, who then lived in a far away land, across many a river, would call to say that he and family would come East to sample the Great Smokey Moun-tain National Park. “Do meet us there,” he’d tease. “The layers of coloring trees above Gatlinburg would be wonderfully bright and cheery.”
Have you ever thought about it, really? That God has so designed nature to be at its prime beauty just before it dies back, or goes to rest? Focusing upon God’s best always makes things prettier.
In my distant former child-hood-life, times were so dif-ferent. There lived down the road from my grandmother a clan of very unsophisti-cated folks. They were truly good people though. The dad worked this and that odd jobs for whichever neighbor could afford extra yard work, or general repairs. They did not own a car. All week
they had one common job: be a family. They’d make it to school, tend their own garden and what have you, but what they really did was get ready to walk down to Petersburg Pike (old US 1) on Saturday afternoon late, and just stand around on the corner. Each of them had on their best attire. They were always bedecked in the most colorful adornments. With big smiles and happy waves, they would greet each pass-ing car. When the streetcars would stop to discharge pas-sengers, you could imagine a meeting of notable dignitar-ies. Night sent them up hill to home.
Well, today some of the season’s beauty is coming to an end. As I write, there is a fall of leaves drifting by the
window and across the lawn. It is an appropriate close to a beautiful display. Nature is about to pull up a tender blanket of leaves warmly about its base and snuggle down for a winter’s rest. Everything is as it should be, as it was designed to be.
Years back on a fall day I was caught up in the beauty of it all. My late father-in-law had this wonderful old hound dog down on the farm. Ben could survey the whole of his kingdom from a step on the back porch. There he could supervise the noisy birds, pesky squirrels, worrisome kittens, chick-ens, and the three-times-a-day dole of table scraps. Ben took life in stride well enough. In fact, he would stretch out to catch the most fall sunshine and simply roll his eyes about to survey his kingdom. Lifting one’s head, or scuffling about to see was just too taxing for the lad. Needing to remind us of his
presence, he would occa-sionally yawn. Barking was for emergencies.
Ben eyed me heading for the barn and decided to break tradition. He pulled upright, stretched every muscle, shook his head hard, yodeled a bit and fell in step behind the preacher. He was curious as to what might my destina-tion be. On the sunny side of the barn I dropped against a bale of hay. There I sat sip-ping coffee, and looking at everything, but also at noth-ing. Ben wormed his way against the bale, dropped his head at hand height in case I wanted to pat and proceeded to assume his otherwise normal mannerisms.
You probably already think I am strange. There I sat, on the sunny side of a
barn, watching the leaves drift by and having the most philosophical con-versation with an old red hound-dog. We made quite a pair, old Ben and I.
Try to find a sunny spot, out of the wind, against a
tree, barn or shed far away from your house and sit a spell, just to take in the natu-ralness of it all. We are so busy rushing here and there that we fail to pause to allow the beauty of God’s creation to rest upon us.
When folks brag about this and that great moment, the vacation to end all vaca-tions, or some scenery pho-tographed, I am prone to mind-wander back to that fall day. It was so normal, so special! The company was grand, the view sublime, the restoration magnificent.
I suggest that we fre-quently need to park life and let nature take us on a journey Divine. Then, like nature, relearn the truth that long periods of rest provide great lifetimes. Slow down. Look about. Breathe.
God’s on His throne.
