Wine is finearound townThe benefits of drinking wine in

moderation have been the subjectof many articles.

Studies have shown that moderate amounts ofalcohol can raise good cholesterol, and the phyto-chemicals in wine act as antioxidants and preventfree radicals from causing cellular damage in thebody.

So a glass of wine of day can be good for you.Health benefits aside, some people drink winebecause they enjoy its taste, and the opportunity tosocialize with other aficionados, friends or family.

Our area has a variety of wine stores which offerhundreds of vintages both domestic and foreign.

There are various opportunities for wine tastingsand to participate in wine clubs. Many neighbor-hoods have their own clubs. Others join online wineclubs or “wine of the month clubs.” This allows peo-ple to sample a variety of wine and to interact withothers about their favorites.

Williamsburg is home to The Williamsburg Winery,which is Virginia’s largest. The Winery’s Governor’sWhite is the best selling wine in the state. The JohnAdlum Chardonnay recently received a “Best Buy”from “Wine Enthusiast” which is a premier source forwine accessories, wine accessory gifts, wine cellars,information, education, events and travel.

The Winery has also created a “wine school.” It’sin partnership with New York’s 21 Club and is gearedto educating servers who sell wine in restaurants.The next session will be later this month.

The newly opened World of Wine in New Townoffers people a chance to learn more about wine byoffering educational programs at the store. There arefree tastings held each weekend.

Owner Ray Gold said that speakers are invited tothe store to present programs on a variety of topicswhich allow people to learn more. “We bring in wineexperts from wineries and distributors,” he said.

A recent program included tasting of five winesfrom various areas of France, providing a history ofthe vineyards and the types of grapes used.

He said there are plans to do “blind tastings” tolet people express their impressions on several vari-eties.

“We plan to make it a fun experience,” he said.Gold said there are several active wine clubs in the

area. “These people have retired here,” he said. ‘Theyhave lived all over the worked and have a vast experi-ence about wine.”

La Tienda, located on Jamestown Road, offersweekly wine tastings featuring the Spanish wines car-ried at the store. Each week a different vintage ishighlighted. One week the store may offer tastingson sparkling wines, the next week, robust reds.

“We also try to do pairings because we have aplethora of gourmet items from Spain,” said AlexiaWarner, La Tienda director of retail o perations.“Some wines go well with fish, some taste betterwith cheese.”

The tastings are held 5-7 p.m., Tuesdays andattract people with a breadth of wine experienceranging from the occasional imbiber to those whoare very knowledgeable. “We make sure there issomething for everyone,” Warner said.

Warner said that there are plans to develop a sepa-rate area within the building to serve Spanish winesfor wine club groups. She thinks the idea will go overwith those who may want to host a wine club meet-ing at a venue outside a private home.

“They may think they would like to have tenfriends and have a wine event where they don’t haveto worry about cleaning up the dishes,” she said. “Weget inquiries every week about people who want tohost their events in our building. We get a lot of inq -uires from people asking if they can bring their wineclub here so they can taste some wines.”

Festival’s winter series this month

The 10th anniversaryseason of the VirginiaPeninsula Jewish FilmFestiva continues thismonth at the KimballTheatre.

The event, which is sponsoredby Temple Beth El, has broughtaward-winning films to the area.

Local resident Beth Scharlopspearheaded bringing the festivalhere a decade ago. She wasjoined by Janet Kruger and NormJacobs in organizing the event. Ithas taken off and has continuedgaining popularity and supportfrom the community.

Several people have workedwith the festival for nearly theentire ten years, including TinaHahamovitch who has organ-ized the event for the past threeyears and Rob Kaplan and Jim

Heller who have worked dili-gently screening the films. ClayRiley at the Kimball has alsoassisted with the festival since itsinception.

Many others made importantcontributions to the festival’splanning and continuance. Theevent has been supported by thepublic and attendance at thefilms has been generally strong,as organizers try to pick filmsthat have interest beyond theJewish community.

The festival opens last fallwith “Nora’s Will,” also knownas “Five Days Without Nora”and A Matter of Size.”

The film festival continuesthis month with “Anita,” Jan.29-30; “Saviors In The Night,”Feb. 26-27 and “The Infidel”March 26-27.

Linda Taylor

WILLIAMSBURG MAGAZINE, JANUARY 2011 25

HHospice House and Support Careoffers compassionate care to peoplefacing the last phases of life.

The facility, located on Powhatan Parkway, is ledby Linda Taylor who originally came to the organiza-tion in 1983 as the first paid professional, staying inthat position until 1990.She served on the hos-pice board 1996-2002and came back as execu-tive director in 2004.

“Obviously, I am verypassionate about thisorganization,” Taylor saidrecently.

She said it takes a fulland part-time staff of 24,a board of another twodozen, and approximate-ly 300 volunteers to keepHospice House function-ing 24/7.

Additionally, some$800,000 per year has tobe raised in order forservices to continue, which continually poses chal-lenges. Then there is maintenance of the aginghouse.

But what she described as the most importantaspect of her job, is talking with the family memberswho want to share their experiences with HospiceHouse with her.

“I am always touched by how much this placemeans to people years after the death of their lovedone and by how we become family to many ofthem,” she said. “It is so hard to come through ourfront door, but when they do, patient and family, itis a welcoming, calm and beautiful environment

where the guest is treated with dignity. Caregivers canonce again become daughters and sons, moms anddads, husbands and wives because we become thecaregivers and advocates for their loved one.”

She considers it an honor to provide the service tothe community

“I am so proud to be part of an organization thatprovides compassionate, end-of-life care with dignityto people based solely on need, not on how much

money you have orwhether you haveinsurance or not,”she said. “I believestrongly that every-one has a right to diewith their dignityintact, as pain free aspossible and notalone. That is whatwe do and to helptheir loved onesafter.”

Taylor is indebtedto the organizations,individuals andgroups which sup-port the work ofHospice House.

“It takes a community to keep this organizationopen and available without charge,” she said. “Everygroup and, or organization that supports our mis-sion is a gift to us and so appreciated. We could notdo it without their ongoing support. This communi-ty built Hospice House and it is this community thatkeeps it going, even during tough economic times.”

has a loyal clientele who regularly come by for freshAmish-baked goods.

The store carries a wide selection of Shady Maplebread, which comes in 20 flavors including peachand blueberry. Strubel said crusty sourdough is thebest seller.

“The food appeals to most people,” Strubel said.“We have several hundred food items to offer.”

Strubel works with an Amish woman who pro-vides pickled red beets for the store, which peoplecan’t seem to get enough of, he said. “That is one ofour best selling canned goods. People buy wholecases of them. I can never run out of those.”

He added that her homemade sauerkraut is “thebest stuff out there.”

Over the recent holidays, Strubel took orders for avariety of pies, which ran the gamut from Shoo-Flyto pecan.

In addition to food items, the store car-ries fine Amish-made furniture out ofhigh quality wood. Strubel added thatAmish-made furniture is among the onlyAmerican made furniture stillon the market. Amish Countryproducts also carries a varietyof poly-lumber outdoor furni-ture, which Strubel said is pop-ular year-round.

People respond to theunique products offered.

“There are a lot of peoplewho happen to drive by andstop here because of the workof the Amish,” he said. “Amishquality has a good reputation.”

National Hug (or Hugging) Day,which is Jan. 21.

It is annual holiday, which bythe way is officially recognized bythe U.S. Patent and TrademarkOffice.

According to the websiteHoliday insights, NationalHugging Day was created in 1986by Rev. Kevin Zaborney fromCaro, Mich. It has since spread toCanada, England, Australia,Germany and Poland.

There have been studies linkinghealth benefits to getting hugged.Hugs cab increase the “bonding”hormone, oxytocin, and decreasethe risk of heart disease.

A good hug can also lowerblood pressure and reduce stress.A study has found that huggingand hand holding reduces theeffects of stress.

Therapeutic touch has alsobeen shown to reduce stress andpain among adults, and mayreduce some symptoms ofAlzheimer’s disease, such as rest-lessness and pacing.

In February of 1988 BishopMichael Dudick gave canonicalstatus to Ascension of Our LordByzantine Catholic Church, whichis located on Palace Lane.

Since the church has become the home church toa number of area residents who treasure the tradi-tion, reverence and beauty of the Byzantine Catholictradition.

Each Sunday, approximately 100 people worshipat the intimate church. Several people also attenddaily celebrations at 9 a.m.

Deacon Nicholas Sotack said that many CatholicChristians may not be aware that there are twodozen churches within the Catholic Church in fullcommunion with the See of Peter, the Pope of Rome,including the Byzantine Catholic.

He said that those who call the Ascension of OurLord their home church revere the traditions and areuplifted by the beauty of the Divine Liturgy.

“Parishioners feel a contemporary spiritual upliftthrough all the human senses,” Sotack said. “Thedescription goes beyond words. One must experi-ence the celebration in order to fully understand andappreciate the meaning.”

The differences between Roman Catholic andByzantine Catholic is in style and expression.

In the Byzantine church, the priest faces east, ortoward the altar, leading the people in prayer, where-as the Roman priest faces the congregation. Incenseis also used to symbolically offer prayers to God.

Many of the prayers are similar to both faiths, butat the Byzantine Church, all are chanted in a dia-logue between the priest, deacon, and the faithful.

The church itself is adorned with icons.Ascension parish has a unique, hand-carved iconos-tasis (icon screen) that was made by a parishioner,Ignatius Stefaniw.

Those who attend the church are committed tocommunity outreach. Several programs are held toraise money for various local charities. These includeEthnic dinners.

“They are sponsored by the parish guild each quar-ter to offer delicious home cooked Eastern Europeanfoods at very affordable prices,” he explained. Moneyraised benefits various organizations.

Fr. Shuter has instituted a Tuesday morning coffeehour that follows the Divine Liturgy. It’s purpose isto invite people to join in lively discussions abouttopics that are important to the group. Speaker pro-grams are being considered for the upcoming yearthat range from spiritual topics such as iconographyto practical life topics such as living wills, Well Being,and medicine.

The parish also hopes to add pysanki (UkranianEaster egg) decorating classes, as well as dance classesto its list of fun events for the parish and community.

At long last, the WilliamsburgPlayers have broken ground on anexpansion to the James-YorkPlayhouse on Hubbard Lane.

The construction process got underway late falland will include expanding the theater from 104seats to 314. The current auditorium will be reno-vated and become the lobby of the new facility.

During the process, the stage will be expandedfrom the current 20 ft. x 15 ft. to 60 ft. x 30 ft. Thatwill allow the Players to offer larger scale plays andmusicals.

Construction will continue throughout the win-ter, while the Players continue their current season.Things will ramp up in June after the season wraps.

The first show set for the expanded facility is setto open next Sept. 15 with the Broadway hit, “TheProducers.”

“We have been doing the small shows, but thiswill enable us to bring large shows to theWilliamsburg community,” said Players treasurerPeter Natale.

The Williamsburg Players have a long history inour area, dating to the 1950s when a group of arearesidents began gathering to read plays. Fromthere, a group was formed which eventuallybecame the Williamsburg Players.

In 1977, the former Trinity Presbyterian Churchon Hubbard Lane was purchased, and has been thehome to the Players since.

The group has given hundreds of talented peo-ple the chance to participate both on and off stageand thousands of patrons have bought tickets andsupported the growing company.

pull together the departments ofMusic, Theater, Dance, FilmStudies, Art and Art History aswell as the Muscarelle Museum.

A large Hall will be availablefor major receptions and dinners.

A new Theater will replacePhi Beta Kappa with betteracoustics but only 499 seats. 500seats trigger union issues withActors Equity.

A Concert Hall will likely fallshort of 1,800-2,000 once rec-ommended by the WilliamsburgArea of Perform ing Arts. It willstill be bigger than Phi BetaKappa’s 800 seats.

Service in motionBook provides information for teen volunteers

FFor the past couple years,NetworkWilliamsburg has pub-lished a Youth Resource bookletdesigned to help kids find placesaround town that need theirunique talents.

Volunteering is sometimes a requirement for highschool students. However, the requirement oftenopens doors for more involvement for teens to helpin various capacities.

The book, which is available online,lists dozens of area agencies whichwould welcome teen involvement in avariety of activities.

“Also, new this year in the booklet aresuggestions for students to get involved iftime is an issue,” said Karen Dutro ofNetworkWilliamsburg. “These are simpleways that can really help a nonprofit inneed including organizing collection drives,making cards for shut-ins and military, andeven cutting coupons.”

Kids seem to be taking advantage of thebook, as Dutro has fielded several positiveresponses from community members, parents,and nonprofits who have found it beneficial toget the word out.

Two “Aware Fairs” were held last year, includingWalsingham Academy, which were instrumental inencouraging students to sign up for volunteeropportunities. The hope is to hold another fair soonwhich would involve more schools, Dutro said.

Bruton High has a copy of the booklet in theirguidance office and has distributed fliers to their stu-dents telling them of the booklet.

“I think everyone is realizing that communityservice, aside from being a valuable life experience, issomething that will be of value to put on college

applications, particularly now as colleges becomeharder to get into with just good grades,” Dutro said.

The book also includes statistics from a study ofcollege admissions counselors which states that com-munity service is key.

Our area has dozens of nonprofits waiting fordedicated area youth to pitch in.
