September 23, 2010Rappahannock Record Kilmarnock, VA

Margaret Edds will review her book, Finding Sara: A Daughter’s Journey, for the Books Alive program at 7 p.m. Thurs-day, September 28, at the Northumber-land Public Library in Heathsville.

Edds was age 3 when her mother, Sara, 34, died. How she managed to write this memoir is a story in itself, said Friends of the Library president Jay Walker.

Edds based the book on some 300 let-ters that traced Sara’s life beginning at age 11 in 1927 to the day she died in 1950. The letters were between Sara and her husband during World War II, between Sara and her favorite sister Eleanor, and about half a dozen from a man she almost married. In addition, Edds found an auto-biography by Sara written for a college assignment that covered 17 or 18 years of her life, Walker said.

The book describes Sara’s life in Ten-nessee, including over a year in Oak Ridge during the development of the atomic bomb, and the coal mining town of Lynch, Ky.

A discussion and book-signing will follow the review. Refreshments will be available. Admission is free.

The October 26 Books Alive will be Haunted Virginia by Pamela Kinney.

When Virginia natives Ceci-lia Barton and her hus-

band, Kent McCraney, decided to move back to the East Coast from Kansas, they did not have to spend much time deciding where to live. They came to Rappahan-nock Westminster-Canterbury (RW-C) on the best recommenda-tion of all: the experience of Ceci-lia’s parents.

In August 2010, Cecilia and her father, the Rev. George Barton, became the first two-generation family to reside at RW-C at the same time.

Rev. Barton and his wife moved to RW-C in 1988 when he retired from his Episcopalian parish in Orange. He had been contemplat-ing a move in 1987 when he was asked to raise funds for another Westminster-Canterbury facility. Figuring he should learn some-thing about the kind of place for which he was soliciting dona-tions, Barton visited several senior living communities with his wife.

One of those stops was at RW-C in Irvington, and the Bar-tons knew immediately it was the right place for them. The former chaplain and assistant headmaster at Woodberry Forest School says with obvious pleasure that, “Over the years we lived in 34 places, but undoubtedly our time at RW-C was the happiest of our lives.”

Sadly, Barton’s wife died in March. Her passing provided the impetus for a move Cecilia and Kent had long contemplated. “We did not really hesitate in choos-ing to come to RWC,” Cecilia said. “We had seen how wonderfully my father and mother were treated, and we knew we would be happy there.”

Cecilia and Kent have seen their share of other places. Kent, a graduate of Virginia Military Insti-tute, served 22 years in the Army. The couple lived overseas for six of those years, and Kent spent two

Retirement community is home totwo generations of the Barton family

tours in Viet Nam. Looking around the cottage in which they now reside, Cecilia said, “This place truly feels like home.”

Barton and his daughter sing the praises of the RW-C staff that knows them by name and caters to their every need. They appreciate the opportunity to travel without worrying about who will look after their homes while they are away.

In recent years, he has begun to limit his activities away from RWC, and that has only made him realize how much there is to do close to home, said Barton. While father and daughter lead separate lives, they try to dine together each evening at RW-C’s grill. They agree, however, that just being close

to each other is a gift that both of them treasure.

Lest one get the impression that everything between the gen-erations is idyllic, Kent is quick to point out there is a constant source of friction that becomes especially noticeable at this time of year. The elder Barton is a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan. Like many RW-C residents, Kent roots for the Red-skins.

The Cowboys’ flag on Barton’s scooter draws good-natured jeers from his neighbors, but Barton says he is unconcerned. “Wait until the Cowboys start winning,” he quips with a smile. “Then it will be too windy to haul bricks around here.”

Multi Grammy and International Blue-grass Music Association Award winners, the Seldom Scene will begin the 2010-11 season of the Rappahannock Foundation for the Arts (RFA) On Stage series.

The concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. October 2 at the Lancaster Middle School Theater in Kilmarnock.

The concert is sponsored by Chesa-peake Financial Investments. The 2010-11 season is sponsored by Bay Trust and the Bank of Lancaster. Season tickets are $150 for adults, $50 for students. Single tickets are $28. For tickets, call 435-0292, or visit rappahannockfoundation.org.

The origin of Seldom Scene began at the University of Virginia in the early 1960s, where John Starling, a pre-med major, and Ben Eldridge, a math major, spent their spare time playing blue-grass music. Starling and Eldridge went their separate ways after graduation but reunited in Washington, D.C., in 1967, according to RFA publicity vice president Julie Geier.

They formed a basement band with other bluegrass musicians, one of whom, Mike Auldridge, played dobro. In 1971,

Baltimore mandolinist John Duffey and bassist Tom Gray joined Starling, Eldridge and Auldridge. Together they founded Seldom Scene.

The members were as serious about their day jobs as they were about their music. In fact, they vowed to never play too much, and the band derived its name from its once a week performances in the early years at the Red Fox Inn in Bethesda and later at the Birchmere Restaurant in Alexandria, said Geier.

In 1996, the band was dealt what seemed a crushing blow when John Duffey, the much loved leader of the Scene, suffered a fatal heart attack, said Geier.

Duffey had been widely regarded as one of the most powerful and entertaining stage performers in bluegrass. Eldridge, the sole remaining original member, assumed leadership of the band and con-tinues in that position.

Other band members are guitarist and vocalist Dudley Connell, mandolinist and vocalist Lou Reid, bassist and vocal-ist Ronnie Simpkins, and dobroist and vocalist Fred Travers.

A breast cancer awareness fund-raiser will be held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. October 2 at the 7-11 in White Stone.

Activities will include a yard sale, bake sale, food sales, raffle and family fun, according to manager Annette Robinson. The raffle drawing will be held at 6 p.m.

“We need donations to reach our goal of $3,000,” said Robinson. “All donations are welcome.”

The 7-11 team is seeking donations of baked goods, yard sale merchandise, raffle prizes, games for kids to play, prizes, face painters, a band to sing and play, vendors, and volunteers to set up and help raise money, she said.

All vendors set up for free, she said. They will be asked to donate 5 to 50 percent or more of earnings to breast cancer awareness.

More than 1,400 customers visit the White Stone 7-11 each day, added Robinson.

To donate or volunteer, call 435-6780.

Seldom Scene to open2010 On Stage series

“Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 2, for big ‘goings on’ in Irvington. Not only will the Irvington Farmers’ market be in full swing, but the Irvington United Methodist Church, which is within easy walking distance of the market, will be ‘abuzz with activity,’” said Jimmie Lee Crockett.

“People will find a delicious lean Kansas City rib meal for sale for only $11,” he said.

The church will open its annual holiday bazaar Saturday, October 2. The bazaar will continue on the first Saturday of November and December.

Meanwhile, the men of the church will serve a rib meal prepared by River Market in White Stone, which is famous for its tender, juicy ribs and home-style food, said Crockett. The menu will include potato salad, coleslaw, hush puppies and ribs, said Crockett.

The meals will be available for pickup from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tickets may be pur-chased in advance from church members or by calling 438-6161. A limited number of tickets will be available Saturday morning.

“The famous holiday bazaar has earned a reputation for being the only kind in the area,” said Crockett. “The handcrafted Christmas ornaments, gift baskets, theme decorated trees, hostess items will amaze you and the prices will just shock you, as you ask how can this much cost so little.”

The women of the church also will sell baked goods, and homemade vegetable soup to eat in or take out, he said.

The bazaar will offer a preview from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, October 1.

Aphasia is an acquired communication disorder that impairs an individual’s ability to understand or use words.

According to the National Aphasia Association, apha-sia affects about one million Americans and it is usually caused by a stroke or other brain injury.

Starting October 5, an Apha-sia Group will meet from 11 a.m. to noon on Tuesdays at the Rappahnnock General Hospi-tal Rahab Outpatient Center at 43 Harris Road in Kilmarnock. Speech language pathologist Lisa Thomas will lead the ses-sions.

The group is for individuals who have already completed individual speech therapy, said Thomas. It will focus on prac-ticing and using the communi-cation skills learned in the indi-vidual therapy sessions while receiving support from other aphasia group members.

The fee is $40 per month, or $10 per session. To register, call Lisa at 435-8501.

Spaces are still available for a Community Yard Sale from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. October 2 at White Stone United Methodist Church.

Community organizations are urged to participate at no charge for the first space, according to events director Frances Stoughton.

“Household items, children’s items, clothing and other items will be available,” said Stough-ton. “Come join us for shop-ping, learning about area non-profits, bake sale, and lunch.”

Proceeds from the Commu-nity Yard Sale will benefit The Haven located in Warsaw, she said. The Haven is a facility where victims of domestic vio-lence, sexual assault and stalk-ing can go for safety, support and solutions.

Individuals and families also are urged to participate. A 12-by-12-foot space will be available for $20 and tables will be available to rent for $5 each.

To rent a space, call 435-2385.

Linda Hyman McMakin’s crazy quilt will be on display as part of the member show at the Tavern Quilt Guild’s (TQG) sixth Biennial Quilt Show and Auction October 1 and 2 at Rice’s Hotel/Hughlett’s Tavern complex in Heathsville.

McMakin’s quilt has a four-generation story to tell, according to TQG publicity chairman Mari Bonomi. In the last decade of the 19th cen-tury, a woman began crafting blocks for a crazy quilt, using scraps of silk, cottons, shirt-ing, suiting and dressmaking remnants.

The blocks did not get assembled and were passed down to a daughter, Ethel Blunt Wallace, who spent some time working on them and preserved them as best she could, said Bonomi.

In 1975 at her death, her sister, Hilda Blunt Perkins, received them. Eventually she gave them to her granddaugh-ter, Patricia Hyman Jenkins, who began restoring them.

By 2005, Jenkins shared them with her sister, Linda Hyman McMakin of Lan-caster, and asked for help in restoring the blocks, as some of the fabrics were starting to dis-integrate, continued Bonomi.

McMakin began the restora-tion.

“I replaced some fabrics with pieces from an antique crazy quilt purchased for that pur-pose,” said McMakin. “Other disintegrating fabrics I stabi-lized by covering them with tulle and adding embroidery on top.”

What really fascinated her was the embroidery stitching that held the pieces of each

A March for Babies, March of Dimes Walk event will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Octo-ber 10 at the Lancaster High School track.

“This is a perfect location for families to come out in support of the March of Dimes,” said cochairman Kelly Kellum. “We really appreciate Lancaster High School for joining this effort and allowing participants to walk at their own pace and ability.

The warmup and team intro-ductions will begin at 2 p.m. The walk will begin at 3 p.m. with strollers welcome as well as past ambassador families

team and walk with us in sup-port of the March of Dimes at the LHS track,” said Kellum.

Honorary chairman Dr. James F. Hamilton, OB/GYN, will announce the start of the walk.

Prematurity has been esca-lating steadily and alarmingly over the past two decades, said Kellum. One of eight babies is born prematurely in the U.S. Preterm delivery can happen to any pregnant woman.

Anyone interested in join-ing the walk may call Kellum or Shirley Dodson-McAdoo at the Family Maternity Center, 804-435-7005.

block together, said Bonomi.“It was obvious that some of

the embroidery had been done by quite experienced hands, and some by a child, possibly my great-grandmother and my great-aunt when she was young, said Mcmakin. “Aunt Ethel worked on the blocks in the 1930s and ‘40s, and the embroi-dery from that period represents my mother’s marriage to my father, who was Jewish, and also my uncle George’s mar-riage to his first wife, Pat. Aunt Ethel also recognized her good friends Ada and Billie, some-times called Lillie.”

McMakin is not sure which of the two women created the original blocks, as her grand-mother and great-aunt had dif-ferent mothers, Florence C. Brooks and Julia Bennet.

“I added embroidery to blocks that had little or none, and I added my name and my sister’s, and the year I did most of the work, 2006,“ said McMakin.

When Jenkins died in 2008, McMakin put the blocks away. Several months later while she was away, her house in Lan-caster was struck by lightning and destroyed. However, among the few quilting treasures that somehow survived was the soot-blackened box holding the blocks, stashed on a bottom shelf in her sewing room.

“The blocks were unharmed and I took that as an omen that the quilt should be finished,” said McMakin. “When the Tavern Quilt Guild had its 2009 UFO challenge, I chose that as my project.”

The Foundation for Historic Christ Church and the Step-toe Brass Quintet will present a concert of music primarily from the 16th and 17th centu-ries at 3 p.m. October 3 at the 1735 church in Weems.

The program will begin with an early 20th-century fan-fare by French composer Paul Dukas. The fanfare, which preceded Dukas’ “La Peri,” was to give the typically noisy audiences of the time notice to settle. The brass quintet’s fan-fare begins the concert with a rousing start and outstanding acoustics, said publicity chair Marilyn Hedges.

The quintet will then turn to earlier music, that of German composers Johann Cristoph Pezel and Gottfried Reiche. Familiar to many will be Henry Purcell’s “Trumpet Tune and Ayre” and Mozart’s lyrical “Isis and Osiris” from the opera “The Magic Flute.” The first half of the program will con-clude with an English march and three Renaissance dances from the 16th and 17th centu-ries, said Hedges.

Following the intermission, the quintet will play Haydn’s “Gloria” from the “Nelson Mass,” the “Hallelujah, Amen” from Handel’s “Judas Macca-baeus,” and 16th-century Ital-ian composer Giovanni Gabri-eli’s “Canzona per Sonare,” where multiple instrumental lines imitate and echo each other, said Hedges.

The quintet also will offer brass interpretations of three Elizabethan madrigals by Thomas Morley and John Dow-land. Three pieces by German composer Ludwig Wilhelm

Maurer will conclude the pro-gram, said Hedges.

The Steptoe Brass, founded in 2008, is comprised of local musicians who have nonmusi-cal day jobs, said Hedges. They have made music an important part of their lives since they were children.

Founder Jim Kulpa of Bur-gess plays trumpet. Bruce Bur-gess, also on trumpet, lives in Vermont in summer and White Stone the rest of the year. French horn player Michelle Lybarger lives in Irvington. Trombonist

Barry Sudduth lives in Westmo-reland County, and tuba player Brian Thacker lives in Saluda.

All have performed with other musical groups and are either current or past members of the Northern Neck Orchestra, said Hedges.

The concert will be followed by a reception with refresh-ments. Tickets may be purchased from Christ Church. Tickets are $15 each or $25 per couple if purchased by October 1. They are $20 each or $30 per couple at the door. Call 438-6855.

The Northern Neck Master Gardeners will hold a rain barrel workshop from 10 a.m. to noon October 2 at Belle Isle State Park.

Master Gardeners will guide participants through the steps to transform a recycled 50-gallon pickle barrel into a functional and affordable rain barrel with a spigot, a screened lid, and two overflow pipes.

Rain barrels are $50 each. Participants will be able to make more than one. Those unable to attend the workshop may purchase ready-made rain barrels for $60 each from Northern Neck Master Gar-deners.

To register, send a check covering the cost of the desired number of rain barrels to Northern Neck Master Gar-deners, c/o Virginia Coopera-tive Extension Office, P.O. Box 400, Heathsville, VA 22473. Include name, address, phone number and an email address for electronic confirmation. Parking at Belle Isle State Park will be free for the workshop.

Williams celebrates 95 yearsNed L. Williams of Irvington celebrated his 95th birthday September 4 with many friends and family at the Hills Quarter Community Center. Ned and Ginny Williams (center) are surrounded by the 40 family members who attended.

Dean and Mildred Loudy of Kilmarnock celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary Sep-tember 19 with a reception fol-lowing the morning worship service at Kilmarnock Bap-tist Church. About 125 family members and friends joined them in the celebration.

The couple were married September 22, 1950, in The Chapel By The Lake, USNTC, Great Lakes, Ill., by Lt. Calvin Elliott, USN, chaplain. They spent four years in the Navy and arrived in the Northern Neck in May 1954 where Dean Loudy worked for Radio Station WNNT in Warsaw as morning man, chief engineer and man-ager. In September 1975 they

moved to Lancaster County where Dean Loudy built radio station WKWI. They retired in 1992.

They have two children, Jeff, an Assistant News Editor at the Washington Post, and Beth, the executive director of the State Government Affairs Council. Both live in Alexandria.

The children hosted the reception honoring their parents and were joined by Lynne and Cres Saunders, their “adopted” family since 1977. They have four Saunders grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

To celebrate this anniversary, the Loudys are planning a trip to Charleston, S.C., at the end of September.

Mary Ball Washington Museum & Library exec-utive director Karen Hart recently announced the museum’s special event calendar for fall 2010.

From to 2 to 6 p.m. October 9, the museum will conduct an open house in conjunction with the Lan-caster Tavern Fall Festival.

Visitors can tour the historic buildings, grounds, and gardens of the old jail, clerk’s office, and Lan-caster House, and view the exhibits “Glimpses of Colonial and Early American Life” and “The Art and Life of H. Ledyard Towle,1890-1973” featuring artifacts from the museum collection and on loan from community friends, said Hart. There will be no entrance fee, but donations are welcome.

On October 23, the museum will hold its 53rd annual membership meeting and history talk at White Marsh United Methodist Church on Mary Ball Road at Brookvale.

Beginning at 10 a.m., the meeting will include a brief business meeting, followed by guest speaker, the Rev. Jim Salmon, who will discuss the history of the church founded in 1792 and preservation plans for the current building erected in 1848, said Hart.

The meeting is open to museum members and their guests. New members may join at the door for $25 annual dues. RSVP by October 15 to 804-462-7280 or history@mbwm.org.

On November 15, the museum will host a history talk and book-signing with Richmond-area author and historian Ruth Doumlele, who will speak about her recent book, The Randolph Women and Their Men. The session will begin at 3 p.m. at Trinity Epis-copal Church in Lancaster.

The book paints a rich and vivid portrait of post-Revolution life in Virginia, said Hart. While the Randolphs of Virginia hold center stage, their exploits bring them together with influential people such as Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and James Madison.

Doumlele brings to life the significant events of early Virginia and provides a fascinating view of the private lives of the privileged, she said.

Donations are welcome. Reservations are requested to 804-462-7280 or history@mbwm.org. Books can be purchased for $21 at the program or in advance from the museum gift shop.

C. Wyatt and Susan Alston announce the engagement of their daughter Anna Wyatt Alston, to Brian Ray Ashby.

The couple are both gradu-ates of the University of South Carolina.

Emily Webb, Anna’s cousin, will be the maid of honor, and Lauren Alston Bridges, Anna’s sister, will be the matron of honor. The bridesmaids include Anna’s cousin, Claire Alston, and friends Jennifer Marienau and Courtney Geanetta.

At 11 a.m., the Paws Pet Show will be at the Peoples Insurance Agency lot.

The grand marshal this year is Les Sisson. He will ride in the parade at 1 p.m. starting at Washington & Lee.

From 9:45 to 11:15 a.m., entertainment on the court-house porch will begin with the Siloam church youth choir and praise dancers. From 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., the Ebenezer United Methodist Church Praise Band will be on stage at the courtyard. David and Megan Smith will be on the courthouse porch.

Food and bake sales behind the museum in Montross will be held all day, as will the Antique Farm Equipment display at the Northern Neck Coca Cola parking lot, the Festival Craft area at the Courthouse Square and all vendors and exhibi-tors at the Rite Aid Pharmacy parking lot and Carrot Cottage parking.

“Our Town, Our Future” and “Building Our Future” exhibits will be at the future Westmore-land County Museum annex.

The wedding will be held October 23, 2010, at the Tides Inn in Irvington.

After their honeymoon in the Dominican Republic, the couple will live in Alexandria.

ENGAGEMENT

The Friends of the Library Rappahannock Community College Library Center fall reading program will meet at 11 a.m. at the Chinn House in Warsaw.

On October 11, the group will discuss The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. A New York Times best seller, this heart-wrenching but ultimately uplifting book is a story narrated by Enzo, a dog who is somewhat of a “philosopher with nearly a human soul,” according to publicity chairman Hyte Smith.

On November 8, the book will be The Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick. A debut novel, the book is described in reviews as “juicy,” “delicious,” “suspenseful and erotic,” said Smith.

A Dutch-treat lunch at a location chosen by the group will follow the discussion. Membership is not a prerequisite to attend, nor is having read the month’s book selection. The books can be checked out at the RCC Library Center.

The Irvington Baptist Church In Touch Mission Group (IBITS), celebrated 15 years of service at the 11 a.m. service Sunday, Septem-ber 12, with guests Paul and Rosemary D. Trible, who was the keynote speaker.

Rosemary Trible shared the spiritual journey she lived in the aftermath of a brutal attack. Through her faith in Christ, she moved from living in fear to embracing forgive-ness for her attacker. The gift of forgiveness allowed her to experience release from emotional pain, said IBITS member Hazel Farmer. Tri-ble’s book, Fear to Freedom: What If You Did Not Have To Be So Afraid?, is the story of her journey.

After the service, Trible signed copies of her book and the men of the church, with pastor John Farmer and chefs

Wayne Nunnally and Dr. Jim Hamilton leading the crew, prepared and served a lun-cheon for the church family

Nash recognizedShirley Nash was recognized Sunday, September 19, for her 30-plus years of service to Coan Baptist Church’s nursery. Her dedication is sincerely appreciated, said church member Sherri Kent.

Rev. John Farmer has been the pastor at Irvington Baptist Church since 1986.

What goes around, comes around

I am a child from the close-in post-World War II generation. Trains, streetcars and

feet provided the transportation of choice, actually of necessity. Radios, not TVs, gathered families ‘round most evenings.

Saturday mornings were “flick” time for lads and lasses up and down my street. On Saturdays we rode the streetcars to the two local cinemas to see cowboy and space films.

My favorites were always the cowboy flicks. My favorite cowboy was none other than Roy Rogers. His real name was Leonard Franklin Slye (1911-1998).

Reading the news earlier this summer, I was shocked, but not surprised, to find that the personal items of Roy and his wife, Dale, were to be auctioned by Christie’s of New York. It had become too costly for their heirs to maintain the museum in Arkansas.

I quietly followed the news ticks, keep-ing my secret life hidden from others who already know I am an emotional old fool, getting sillier and older by the day. So this I learned:

Nebraska RFD-TV paid $300,000 for Roy’s horse, Trigger, and dog, Bullet, and plan to air old Rogers movies on Saturdays with the cowboy’s son, Roy Jr., as host.

Well, what goes around comes around, eh?

As an adult, I found that Roy and Dale were people of deep Christian faith. Let’s check out his testimony.

“Years ago, I introduced something entirely new and different into the show Dale and I were doing down in Texas. I didn’t even tell Dale ahead of time what I was going to do. I wasn’t hiding anything from her; it was just something I had to do by myself.

“I held up my hand at the end of one of my songs, to say something. I didn’t have a prepared speech; just thoughts I

wanted to share. I said: ‘I’ve been getting a lot of mail from boys asking if I don’t think it’s pretty sissy for them to go to Sunday school. It isn’t sissy at all. Going to Sunday school is one of the best things any child can do.

“When your parents tell you to brush your teeth, they know that brushing your teeth now will help you to have good, strong teeth when you’re grown. When they tell you to eat your spinach and drink your orange juice, they’re trying to get your bodies ready to stay strong and

healthy when you’re older. When they tell you to go to Sunday school they’re trying to help you grow strong in spirit. What you learn in Sunday school will give you the strength you’ll need against difficul-ties and temptations of all kinds when you grow up. Go to Sunday school regularly, and learn all you can about the Bible and Jesus. You’ll always be glad that you did.

“Dale told me later that when I first began to speak, she could hardly believe her ears. But she said she was glad I spoke up, and so was I. It was the blessing of God’s spirit that I could, and I meant every word.

“Speaking up in a meeting wasn’t always easy for me. In fact, there were many years when I didn’t even go to church meetings at all, and it was really through Dale that I came to know the true joy of religious feeling and of believing in Christ. Dale joined church shortly after our marriage and I couldn’t help but see how happy she was in discovering religion again, and how

much better things seemed to be in every way around our house.

“I had been brought up in a God-fearing home, but like an awful lot of youngsters, I sort of drifted away from church-going, and even from thinking much about reli-gion.

“Then, with Dale’s help, I started going to church again and it wasn’t long before the day came when I too accepted Christ as my personal savior, and joined church along with her.

“I was still a little tongue-tied about my religious feelings. It was months before I could even find my voice to join in the grace we say before each meal at our house. Still later, I realized that I could stand up and speak at our little Christian group meetings, and aired them at Billy Graham’s revivals.

“Now, I’ve always had a real sense of obligation to children. The way I figure it, they gave me my boost in this business.

Through the years, their devotion and friendship have been wonderful. So it was along about this time that I decided that if there was any way I could get back to them with a message on the importance of religion, in language they could under-stand, I ought to do it.

“Today I can say, along with Dale, we believe John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. We have both accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal savior. We love him, try to follow him in our daily lives, and are bringing our children up under his guid-ance. To us, Jesus Christ is truly ‘The light of the world.’”

wife, Kira; as well as a stepson, John Underdahl of Sahuarita, Ariz., and his partner, Rudy Dinkel.

St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Heathsville will hold a Bless-ing of the Animals at 10 a.m. October 2 in celebration of the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, said church member Dawn Mahaffey.

The event will take place on the grounds of the Parish House at 6538 Northumberland Highway. The Rev. Lucia Lloyd will offi-ciate.

The event is nondenominational. Pets of all faiths and descrip-tions are welcome. All pets must be on leashes, in secure carri-ers or cages, at all times and all dog and cat owners should be prepared to present proof of vaccinations if requested, Mahaffey said.

Following the blessing there will be a demonstration of a K9 Search and Rescue dog and handler team. At noon the public is invited to a light lunch and to attend a showing of the film, “Brother Sun, Sister Moon,” the story of the founding of the min-istry of St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis is known as the patron saint of animals, birds, and the environment, Mahaffey said.

His ministry established the Franciscan mode of charity and poverty and spread the saint’s love of the natural world. He believed that the world was created good and beautiful by God and he preached to man and beast the universal ability and duty of all creatures to praise God and the duty of men to protect and enjoy nature as both the stewards of God’s creation and as crea-tures ourselves, Mahaffey said.
