COVER PHOTO and THIS PAGE: Autumn in Colonial Williamsburg

Photos by Ann Efimetz

Williamsburg Pottery presidentKim Maloney recently unveiled a$20 million makeover of the shop-ping destination located onRichmond Road in Lightfoot.

All the buildings on 19 acres fronting RichmondRoad will be demolished and rebuilt anew over 18months.

Three new buildings with 147,000 square feet ofretail will be grouped around a central plaza.

The Pottery is pursuing a traditional Europeanmarket theme and will use Dutch colonial andDutch West Indies styles. Buildings will have discretestorefronts with steeply sloped roofs, ironwork andbrighter color schemes that reflect the Dutch experi-ence in the Caribbean.

A plaza will feature a stage as well as smallercourtyards between buildings for relaxing and gath-ering.

Merchandise will be expanded, but the famousceramics will be retained, along with the framingshop and homegrown geraniums.

Access will shift roughly 400 feet west onRichmond Road to a right turn across the railroadtracks. The main entrance on Lightfoot Road willremain in place.

Local construction firm Henderson Inc. will buildthe new Pottery. Architects are Guernsey Tingle.

Groundbreaking is anticipated in December, andthe grand opening is set for April 5, 2012, whichwould have been Potter founder Jimmy Maloney’s100th birthday.

In 1879, Mary Baker Eddy foundedthe First Church of Christ, Scientist inBoston, Ma. There are branch churchesthroughout the world, including onehere on Jamestown Road.

The church offers Sunday services at 11 a.m. andWednesday evening testimony service at 7:30.Adjacent to the church is the Christian ScienceReading Room, which is a tranquil place, open to thepublic.

“It is a place where if you want to come and study,it is quiet,” said Hazel Mann, church member. “Wehave a lot of Bible research material with differentversions of the Bible and all of Mary Baker Eddy’swritings, biographies and other books pertaining toChristian Science which can be bought or read here.”

“The name ‘reading room’ came from the oldendays when people couldn’t afford books,” Mann said.“Publishers would have a place where people couldgo and read a book.”

First Church of Christ, Scientist services are con-ducted by two readers, who are elected from themembership by church members. The lesson/sermonconsists of selections from the Bible and “Science andHealth with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary BakerEddy. They are read around the world by all ChristianScience churches.

One of the aspects of Christian Science which dis-tinguishes the church from others is its tradition ofreliance on prayer for healing. Practioners areChristian Scientists who are in the healing practiceand assist those seeking healing.

Here is a timeline of the history of ChristianScience in Williamsburg.

1918 - While visiting in Chicago a local residentreceived healing through Christian Science treatment.

1919 - Christian Science services were first held inWilliamsburg at the residence on Nicholson Street,now known as Tayloe House.

1930 - Sunday School was organized in a home onGriffin Avenue.

1936 - A building at the corner of North Boundaryand Prince George Street was used, Wedesdayevening meetings were held and a reading roomestablished.

1942 - Recognition as a Christian Science Society1952 - Present church property was purchased,

and recognition as First Church of Christ, Scientist,Williamsburg was granted.

1957 - Cornerstone was laid, and was completedthe next year.

1997- The Reading Room in its current locationopened.

According to Mann, the church has several mem-bers who have attended the church since the 1950s.

The Heritage Humane Societywill celebrate Adopt-a-Shelter-DogMonth in October. It is the idealtime to visit the shelter on WallerMill Road and find the perfect newfour-legged family member.

Robin Bledsoe, executive director, said that thespecial month allows the shelter to really focus onadoption of dogs.

A new program will be launched to celebrate ani-mals in a special way.

“We are launching “Paparazzi Pets” which is ourprogram where several animals are featured monthlywith beautiful, framed studio shots,” she said. “Eachadopter of a Paparazzi Pet will be able to take homea gorgeous picture of their new family member tocommemorate the beginning of a very special rela-tionship.”

Although the shelter welcomes adoptionsthroughout the year, October does offer a fewunique advantages.

“Summer has ended, families tend to come backtogether and settle back into their regular routine,children are back to school,” Bledsoe said. “It’s beenproven that dogs can help lower stress and helpbuild esteem and self-confidence within school agechildren.”

The benefits that come with adoption are bound-less.

“The obvious benefit to sharing your home andfamily with a pet is the unrecognized void that ani-mal fills once in the home,” Bledsoe said. “I have yetto meet anyone who has raised a pet that has notacknowledged how the inclusion has enriched theirlives in ways they never imagined.”

The situation is win-win, as adopting a pet offersa home to a homeless animal. A dog can bringunconditional love and an emotional bond into itsnew family’s life.

Animals also teach young children responsibility,nurturing and compassion for another living crea-ture.

Last year Heritage Humane served over 1,000

local pets. Bledsoe said that the society might wel-come as many as 100 animals in a month.

The society offers counselors to those who wantto adopt, available to answer questions.

People who decide to bring a doggie home duringthe month need to remember something veryimportant.

“Bringing an animal into our families should beviewed as nothing short of a lifelong commitment,”Bledsoe said.

When Michael Keller was read-ing “Popular Science” magazine sev-eral months ago, an advertisementfor Smile Train, an internationalcharity that provides cleft lip andcleft palate surgery to children inneed, caught his eye.

It was around Christmas time, and he thoughtthe organization would make a good charity for himto contribute to.

“I got a letter from Smile Train after my firstdonation asking if I could donate again, along with apicture of the child I helped from my first dona-tion,” Keller said recently “I decided I wanted todonate again.”

As a member of his neighborhood swim team,Wellington Waves, he decided that as summerapproached, he would swim a mile for the charity.

“I enjoy swimming and swimming comes fairly

easily to me,” he said. “I thought that swimming amile would be a challenge.”

The youngster had a goal of $300 which is thecost of one surgery. He also wanted to raise aware-ness about Smile Train.

“I went to all the houses in my neighborhood onmy bike and passed out flyers. Then I went back tothe neighborhood homes and collected donations,”he said.

During the swim, his coach, Liz Crispino, sat atthe end of the pool with a lap counter and a timer.The kids who were at the swim practice stayed andcheered him on. Keller swam the mile in 29.45 min-utes.

All tolled, Keller raised some $1,000 which wassent to Smile Train.

Archaeologists at HistoricJamestowne believe they’ve made amajor new discovery: the remains ofthe original 1608 church at JamesFort.

Bill Kelso, director of archaeology at HistoricJamestowne, was ecstatic.

“If confirmed, this is a tremendous discovery,” hesaid recently. “At long last, theheart of James Fort and the sceneof so many known seminal eventsin the history of Jamestown.”

Among other events, thechurch was likely the site of the1613 wedding of Pocahontas,daughter of Virginia Indian ChiefPowhatan, and John Rolfe, theVirginia colony’s first successfultobacco planter.

In his book, “Jamestown: TheBuried Truth,” Kelso speculatedthat the original church site wasnear the center of the fort.

He was close.“It was a little southeast of cen-

ter,” he said. “At about a 45-degree angle.”

Initially, Kelso had believedthat the original church site wasclose to the existing church, theo-rizing that churches are seldommoved because the ground hasbeen consecrated and bodiesburied there. That theory was abandoned when itbecame clear that the current church tower sitsastride one of the original palisade walls. The wallswere moved as the settlement expanded.

The most accurate forecast of where the churchwas comes from the earliest known diagram of thefort.

The Zuniga map, so-called because it was present-ed to King Philip III of Spain by his ambassador toEngland, Don Pedro de Zuniga, in 1608, wasbelieved to be a tracing of an earlier map by Capt.John Smith.

The Zuniga map has an “x,” or perhaps a cross,drawn inside the triangular diagram of the fort.

“People had speculated that it marked the church,”Kelso said. “And that’s right about where it is.”

The 1608 church site is located 40 feet southwestof the later 17th century brick church and tower, theonly remaining above-ground evidence of the fort,and 70 feet from the shore of the James River.

Evidence for the church so farconsists of six enormous post-holes, each containing theremains of a one-foot-thickupright support timber. The tim-bers are 12 feet apart, whichmatches a 1610 description ofthe 24x60 foot “pretty chapel” atJamestown.

Archaeologists believe thatthe rest of the postholes, whichcould be used to determined thelength of the church, likely lie tothe west of the current excava-tion area.

Excavation will continue intolate fall in an effort to trace allthe posts and uncover the build-ing’s interior.

The 1608 church was thestructure where Virginia’s firstresident governor, Sir ThomasWest, Lord De La Warre,addressed colonists on June 12,1610, when his timely arrival

saved the colony from abandonment.This church was gone by 1617. In that year, Gov.

Samuel Argall replaced it with a newer, smallerchurch, probably where the current brick recon-structed church stands.

The inaugural fundraiser, “Corksfor A Cause” of the WilliamsburgCommunity Foundation got a boostfrom Aberdeen Barn’s executivechef, John “J.C.” Morton.

Morton, who has been working at the restaurant formore than two decades, began saving corks poppedout of bottles of wine purchased by restaurant patrons.Before long, the corks started stacking up.

Morton isn’t sure how many he’s accrued overthe years, but they recently filled the bed ofAberdeen Barn owner Dennis White’s pickup truck.

“The corks are a by product of selling lots of wineat the restaurant,” Morton quipped recently.

The corks have been put to good use for thefundraiser. Some 20 area restaurants and wine shopsare participating in “Corks for A Cause, which runsthrough Oct. 4.

The event provides a novel way to support theWilliamsburg Community Foundation, which sup-plies grants to dozens of nonprofit organizations inthe areas of arts and culture, environment, historicpreservation, health and human services and educa-tion.

Each participating business will have a containerfilled with corks. Those interested in participatingcan donate $2 to guess how many corks are in thecontainer. The person with the closest guess will wina $100 gift certificate to that venue.

Morton is glad that the corks he collected havebeen put to good use. He lost count long ago.

“I have no idea how many I have,” he said. “I havebeen keeping them in huge mayonnaise tubs in mygarage.”

The entire restaurant staff became involved in thecork recycling project. Longtime bartender, Tank,

who recently passed away, was largely responsible forthe proliferation of corks in the buckets.

“He saved everyone of the corks he pulled,”Morton said. “Waiters would also get involved. Welooked at is at recycling. It was a way for us to dosomething without a lot of effort.”

Morton said that corks make of cork are becom-ing more scare, as several wine manufacturers areturning to plastic and screw tops. Some corks in thecollection are elaborately designed and look likesmall works of art.

Problem is the hundreds of corks floating arounddon’t have a permanent home. Morton hopes that agroup, individual or arts organization will express aninterest in the corks and use them creatively.

Corks make great art projects and can be fash-ioned into wreaths, trivets and various other pieces.Morton said his daughter used some of the corks tohold place cards at her wedding.

“If we can find a good home for them, or some-thing that someone wants to do something withthem, that would be great,” he said. “Anyone whowants them can have them.”

Sweet musicDean Shostak’s ‘Crystal Concert’ features rare glass armonica

At the beginning of DeanShostak’s “Crystal Concert” avideotape of an actor portrayingBen Franklin explains to the audi-ence that they are going to hearmusic from a glass armonica.

Modern audiences aren’t likely to encounter aglass armonica, unless they are visiting ColonialWilliamsburg or visiting amuseum. There aren’tmany of theinstruments in theworld.

Shostak has beenplaying the instrumentfor nearly two decadesand is among about tenworldwide who playthe instrument.He also

plays the glass violin, glass handbells and the cristalBaschet.

The concert features Shostak combining musicalinterludes with interesting information about theinstrument’s origin.

Strategically placed cameras capture Shostak’shands playing the instruments. The images arebroadcast on a huge movie screen, giving the per-formance a multi-media component.

Shostak tells the audience how the glass armoni-ca fell into disfavor after the 18th century for manyreasons, including it’s fragility.

Shostak’s running monologue educates the audi-ence about various challenges he faces in playingthe instrument, including the steps he takes to pro-tect his hands.

The armonica demands a smooth surface to pro-duce bell-like sounds. He uses distilled water tokeep his hands moist while playing the instrumentsand wears gloves at home to protect his hands when

doing work around the house.The concert includes Shostak playing on

one of two of the world’s only glass violins. Itwas made for him in Tokyo by the Hario

Glass Company.Shostak also plays a piece on the rare cristal

Baschet, which was made for him in Paris. TheBaschet has been called the “glass piano” and uses

huge cones to amplify its sounds.The concert wraps with questions

and answers from the audience.Shostak gives people a chance to seethe glass violin up close.
