Award winning

When you walk into SAS FactoryShoes on Richmond Road in thePatriot Plaza, you realize you arein a very differenttype of store.

There is nomusic playing, the

slight smell of freshly poppedpopcorn is in the air and the decor is

reminiscent of days gone by.The company, which is based in Salisbury, Md.,

has been in business since 1976. The local storehas been operating for more than four years.

Those who purchase the shoes seem to be grate-ful for a comfortable fit that is amendable to variousfoot issues including those from diabetes, bunions orother particular needs.

Lester Martin, assistant manager, said that while amajority of the clientele are seniors, there are manyyounger adults are discovering the comfort of SASshoes.

“We are finding a lot of young people are findingout about our shoes,” Martin said recently. “They arerealizing how comfortable they are. These are peoplewho may be working in food service, or medical jobsor teachers, anyone who is on their feet a lot.”

The shoes feature all-leather uppers that are hand-stitched. The soles are made of durable polyurethane.

“If you take good care of these shoes, they willlast,” Martin said.

There are dozens of styles, colors and varieties tochoose from. One of the newest models is a tennisshoe, which Martin said, is popular for its comfortand fit.

“When I am out and about, I always have theseon,” Martin said. “I feel like I am walking on air.”

The store decor gives customers an old-time feel.There’s a popcorn popper which produces, hot but-

tery popcorn for 5-cents a bag. Hot coffee is thesame price. And if you are thirsty for a genuineCoke out of a glass bottle, you can pop twoquarters in the machine.

“The company wants you to have the feel of anold-fashioned store,” Martin explained. “You aregreeted, and you can have a treat if you would like.

We sit down with the customer and measure theirfeet and see what may work best for them.”

Women’s sizes are available 4-12 and men’s in 6-15. Shoes come in slim, narrow, medium, wide andextra wide.

Martin said word about the shoes has gottenaround town by word-of-mouth and recommenda-tions from medical professionals.

“Most of the foot specialists in Williamsburgknow about us and send their patients to us,” Martinsaid. “Once someone gets in a pair of the shoes, theyare sold. We like to make their feet comfortable.”

Sarah Holko, a sophomore at theCollege of William & Mary, volun-teers at various organizations allwhile majoring in accounting.

Holko has been involved in community servicesince high school, and when she arrived on theW&M campus, she wanted to continue her altruisticendeavors.

She soon found Campus Kitchens, an affili-ate of a national volunteer organization. Whatthe group does is takes excess food from localarea restaurants and grocery stores, makesthem into healthy meals, and repackagesthem to deliver to low income families ingreater Williamsburg.

The group regularly picks up food fromTrader Joe’s, A Gift from Ben and theWilliamsburg Farmers Market.

Holko is a cooking shift leader. “When I shift lead for cooking shifts I

lead a group of student volunteers to turnour recovered food into nutritious mealsfor those that need them,” Holko said.

She derives great satisfaction when shesees the efforts of her colleagues at workin those who receive help.

“My favorite Campus Kitchen shifts arethe delivery shifts where we meet thosewe are helping and get to play with theneighborhood kids,” she said. “It’s easyto get overwhelmed with how muchneed is still in the Williamsburg area.”

Holko’s future goals include workingin non-profit management. To that end,she took on an internship at the UnitedWay of Greater Williamsburg. Sheworked with another intern, SamDorman, to work on a directory ofarea food assistance programs. She alsohelped restart the Food Assistance Network. That’s a

group that brings together leaders from food assis-tance programs to tackle hunger.

“I think that my experiences have given me a littleperspective on the real world that is sometimes diffi-cult to come by while living on the sheltered Williamand Mary campus,” she said. “I realize how lucky Iam to have the opportunities I do, and it makes mewant to use those privileges to help those who donot have the same. Hopefully, as I enter the realworld I will keep this in mind when making myfuture choices.”

It’s easy. The annual four-day event asks birdwatchers to count birds, and anyone can participate,from beginning bird watchers to experts.

You can spend as little as 15 minutes on one day,or you can count for as long as you like each day ofthe event.

It can be especially fun for kids. Watching thebirds is educational and introduces them to variousspecies seen in our area.

To report counts you can fill out an online check-

list at the Great Backyard Bird Count website,www.birdsource.org.

Last year there were more than 97,300 checklistssubmitted. The total species observed were 602, withmore than 11 million birds counted.

Birds reported on the most checklists last yearwere Northern Cardinal, Dark-eyed Junco, MourningDove, Downy Woodpecker, Blue Jay, AmericanGoldfinch, Tufted Titmouse, House Finch, AmericanCrow and Black-capped Chickadee.

As for the birds reported in the highest numbersthey were, American Robin, Canada Goose, SnowGoose, American Crow, European Starling, AmericanGoldfinch, Dark-eyed Junco, Common Grackle, Red-winged Blackbird and Mourning Dove.

The Associated Press reports that one ofa dozen new historical markers forVirginia’s highways will honor ColonialWilliamsburg ‘father’ the Rev. W.A.R.Goodwin.

The marker will be placed in Nelson County, where he wasraised.

Goodwin was rector of Bruton Parish Church in the 1920swhen he persuaded John D. Rockefeller Jr. to underwrite theRestoration. The marker will denote him as the “Father ofColonial Williamsburg.”

Also highlighted among the new markers is an Indian townnear Urbanna mapped by Capt. John Smith; the childhood homein Louisa County of Richmond novelist Ellen Glasgow, who wona Pulitzer; and events in Bedford County, Norfolk and VirginiaBeach related to the War of 1812.

Marker honors W.A.R. Goodwin


Bruton Parish Church


the

pulp

it


The church, which got its start inMay 2009, is led by Travis Watson.He strives to offer people a commu-nity of faith where they can find aprofound life with God.

“We want it to be a place for people who are out-side of faith or for people who typically don’t go tochurch,” Watson said recently. “Maybe they had abad experience in the past where they were hurt,maybe they are just skeptical of organized religion,or maybe for them, church has a negative connota-tion. We wanted to create a church that would be aplace where people could find a community wherethey could heal.”

Watson said one of the goals is “to be a churchthat is transparent and real about everything.”

“Imagine being able to go to church and just beyourself, not having to pretend to have it all together,not having to dress a certain way or talk a certainway to fit in,” he said.

Watson said the focus of the church is simple.“We are not trying to get people to join a denomi-

nation, to change, or to convert from one religion toanother,” he explained. “We simply want to loveJesus and love people, in fresh, relevant, and creativeways. We believe if people encounter and fall in lovewith the Jesus of the Bible, they will be radicallychanged. We don’t believe it’s our place to changeanyone, we believe it’s our place to love and to tellothers about Jesus.”

The church name, “Relevant,” reflects what thechurch life tries to reflect.

“We want people to know that Jesus is just as rele-vant today as He was 2,000 years ago and we believethat what Jesus teaches and offers us regarding lifehas tremendous relevance to the issues facing peopletoday. We believe that Jesus and the hope and lifethat He offers is relevant today.”

Travis said his goal as pastor is to help those whoare hurting and to share hope with those who mayfeel overwhelmed with life.

“I want them to know they are not alone in theirstruggles and journeys,” Watson said. “God doesn’toffer us health and wealth, but He does offer grace,peace, joy, and life.”

The services at the church are contemporary innature, but yet hold traditional elements as well.There’s also a “RKids” ministry directed towards kidswhich incorporates videos, music, and hands-onteaching to make the Bible relevant in their lives.

Watson said there is an effort to continue engag-ing young people and helping them find “hope, lifeand grace.”

You may find her delivering hotfood for Meals on Wheels or pass-ing out Christmas presents at areanursing homes with the “Be ASanta to A Senior” program.

No matter where you encounter Lois Polifka, beassured she will have a smile on her face and a handoutstretched to help.

Polifka, who retired here in the early 1990s withhusband, Karl, has been involved in upwards of adozen organizations running the gamut from theVirginia Cooperative Extension to Bruton ParishChurch.

She is an ardent supporter ofarea seniors and works tirelesslyto make sure their lives are allthey can be.

“There are two things in everycommunity that go beyond eco-nomics, and they are food andtransportation,” Polifka saidrecently. “You can’t be healthy ifyou don’t have them.”

To that end, she has beenactive with the WilliamsburgArea Meals on Wheels program,serving on the board, writinggrants and delivering food.

“Meals on Wheels is veryimportant,” she emphasized.“We call it part of the community safety network.This and other organizations like Rides and Faith InAction provide basics in life that you cannot behealthy without.”

She said that Meals on Wheels currently offersbreakfast to those who need it most, lunches andemergency packets which are delivered twice a year.She was also instrumental in securing funding for anutrition education program for clients.

Polifka retired from the U.S. Air Force when shewas 43. She used her GI Bill to go back to school.She enrolled at Christopher Newport University andearned a bachelors in sociology and gerontology.

Soon after, she found herself chatting with theexecutive director of the Historic Triangle SeniorCenter. She told Polifka a volunteer was needed toteach computer classes to seniors. Polifka agreed, andended up teaching classes for more than five years.

“At one time there were between twelve and thir-teen classes per week,” she recalled. “I taught forseven hours a day,” she added.

The students were grateful for the skills, as manyof the seniors felt intimidated by using new technol-ogy. Several years later, she still meets grateful stu-dents.

“My husband asked me if there was any where wecould go where I didn’t know someone,” she saidwith a laugh. “And I said, ‘No.’ Virtually everywhere Igo, I see someone I know.”

Little wonder, asPolifka has continuedsharing her skills in amyrid of volunteer andleadership capabilitiesincluding the coordina-tor for the SeniorServices Coalition. Shehas stepped down fromthat role, but still volun-teers with the organiza-tion.

“It was a natural forme to not only giveback, but to use myskills that I have devel-oped over time. I reallyenjoy it. It is fun. Some

of it is work, but most of it is fun,” she said.Polifka said she would like people to look differ-

ently at the contributions seniors can make to socie-ty.

“Because our culture is youth oriented, there is anegative aura about being older,” she said. “Seniorshave a lot to provide to us. If I had a wish, I wouldwish people had more respect for seniors and realizethat they had more to give.”

February holds special signifi-cance. It is the month where wecelebrate some of our countriesinfluential leaders and also focuson the heritage of AfricanAmericans.

To commemorateand celebrate thecontributions to ournation made bypeople of Africandescent, Americanhistorian CarterG. WoodsonestablishedBlack HistoryWeek.

The first cel-ebrationoccurred onFeb. 12, 1926.For many years,the second weekof February wasset aside forthis celebrationto coincide with thebirthdays of abolitionist/editor Frederick Douglassand Abraham Lincoln.

In 1976, as part of the nation’s bicentennial, theweek was expanded into Black History Month. Eachyear, U.S. presidents proclaim February as NationalAfrican-American History Month.

Locally, Colonial Williamsburg will celebrateBlack History Month with several special programs.There are usually other programs offered throughoutthe month by area organizations.

The month will feature powerful characterizationsand dramatic interpretive programs that bring to lifestories of the African American struggle for freedom

and liberty during this tumultuous period inAmerican history.

“From Africa to Virginia” will be presentedthroughout the month at Jamestown Settlement.

It’s only February,but soon the VirginiaShakespeare Festivalwill present a newseason. Tickets are onsale now for the 2011offerings.

This year, the troupe will pres-ent the classic “The Comedy ofErrors” and perhaps one ofShakespeare’s most famoustragedies, “Hamlet.”

“The Comedy of Errors” is atried-and-true choice, with thehumor really arising from slap-stick and mistaken identity. It’s ashort play, about two hours, andone that should appeal to peopleof all ages. Two sets of twins mixit up with two sets of sisters. It’sfun stuff.

The play runs July 6-17“Hamlet” on the flip side, is

Shakespeare’s longest play, and isone of the best known. It hasbeen produced countless timesand is considered one of thefinest plays ever written.

The story of the Prince ofDenmark has madness, murder,revenge and all the elements thatmake a Shakespearean tragedy aninteresting theatrical experience.

Aaron White who gave a greatperformance as Romeo in 2007’s“Romeo & Juliet” will playHamlet. It runs July 21-31.
