20 • Rivah May 2017 DENTAL IMPLANTS? That’s all he does! Dr. Kanyon Keeney is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon that limits his practice to dental implants and bone replacement. As a matter of fact, he is one of the few in the country that does so. Whether the patient is young or old, missing one tooth or all of their teeth, under local anesthesia or IV anesthesia, in need of very simple or very complex implant treatment………Dr. Keeney does it and loves it. He is known locally, regionally and nationally for excellence in Dental Implant Surgery and has been doing so for more than 20 years.

If you are missing one tooth or all of your teeth and would like to smile, speak, and eat again with confidence, contact our office for a consult. Many of our patients can have their implant surgery and their teeth replaced in the same day!

During the Great Depression, James Wharton’s films were called “Northern Neck Movies,” and they played at the local com- munity center for 15 to 25 cents a seat. Wharton played the piano to accompany the silent films. After that, the films sat in their rusting tin cases waiting all these years to be rediscovered. Joni Carter, a local filmmaker and historian, found them and quickly recognized them as a community treasure. “Wharton has given us the opportunity to view our world as it once was,” said Carter. “It is not only important to preserve our local history, but to promote our historical identity to our young people to encourage a sense of belonging, ownership of our past and therefore a commitment to our future.” The final documentary will serve as a community project where residents have an opportunity to share their local stories of the Northern Neck in the 1920s and 1930s. Members of the Wharton Film Project will be at the gallery every Saturday in May to meet with people who can identify faces and places in the film. Folks also are urged to visit the Wharton Films Project page on Facebook. This crabber at Dameron’s Wharf in Weems appears on the Lost Films of the Northern Neck footage. The Rappahannock Art League will exhibit still photographs taken from the films, and the original unedited footage will run during regular gallery hours throughout May for the public’s viewing and feedback.

This presentation will cover the pur- pose of the no-cost permits, how to register, the type of data required to be reported and how to submit reports. According to VMRC, the purpose of the new report- ing requirements is to pro- vide information for species that are poorly represented in other sampling programs. The VMRC representatives also will discuss a survey of anglers who voluntarily signed up for the cobia permit in 2016, the results of which played an important role in development of the mandatory cobia recre- ational reporting regulations for 2017 and beyond. Members are urged to attend, guests are welcome and the public is invited, said Roy.

44 • Rivah May 2017 Best Meet the Winners Each month we will highlight winners from The Best of the Rivah Contest. Featured this month are the 2016 Nautical Gift Shop winners.

Of The Of Best Nautical Gift Shop 2016 Crying Shame Gift Shop and Custom Framing he voters’ choice from the 2016 Best of the Rivah Contest for best nautical gift shop is aptly named after a boat. Jennifer Vaughan Tchose to name her Tappahannock-based gift and framing shop Crying Shame after her father’s boat, “The Crying Shame.” She spent many summers and made many family memories aboard the vessel, owned by Capt. Sid Hilton Jr. Vaughan initially opened Crying Shame in Essex County in 1999 as an antique store then started carrying artwork. She eventually added custom framing then gift items and eliminated antique sales. Now, the two-story house on Route 17 is chock full of everything from toys to towels. The store is recognizable by its yard full of flags, flying in all shapes and sizes, and its metal artwork, which Vaughan says has become increasingly popular. She has also increased the store’s line of local t-shirts and souvenir wear, with the addition of a Northern Neck Ginger Ale tee last year. As for nautical items, Crying Shame has it all, including flags, pillows, signs, artwork, rugs, towels and clothing. • Where to find Crying Shame — 103 Church Lane, Tappahannock VA 22560 Store hours — 7 days a week. Monday - Friday, 10 a.m.- 6 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m.- 3 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. Call 443-0070 or visit cryingshameframeshop.com

These artifacts were found during archeological digs at Fairfield Plantation near the slave quarters on the grounds.

52 • Rivah May 2017 Volunteers welcome to help olunteers are crucial to the success of the Fairfi eld Foundation. VThere are opportunities for volunteers to participate in almost all aspects of archaeology, architecture, history, and historic preserva- tion. The easiest fi rst step to get involved as a volunteer is to attend one of the Lab Nights, held every Tuesday from 6-9 p.m. Lab Night offers an excellent introduction to some basic archaeological methods, and volunteers can participate in a variety of these activities, including washing, sorting, and identifying artifacts; labeling and mending artifacts; and helping with other small projects. All are welcome! During the winter and early spring, Lab Nights are held at the Rosewell Visitor Center in Gloucester County, and when the weather is warmer in the summer, Lab Night moves to the CAPE at the corner of Main Street and Route 14 in Gloucester Courthouse. Get your hands dirty and participate in one of the public dig days scheduled at the plantation. This is one of several dig sites at Fairfield Plantation..
