GARDENING WITH THE MASTERS

Getting Ready For The Plant Sale

Editor’s note: The following is an-other in a series of stories about the activities of the local Master Garden-ers written by Master Gardener Jim Davis.

When Master Gardener projects are mentioned, it’s to be hoped that “teaching” activities come to mind, those taking place in a classroom, from behind a desk, on the phone or by means of a public garden. Almost any organization, however, must have maintenance projects. These aren’t quite as visible as the others, but pro-vide important support. A prime ex-ample is the annual Master Gardener plant sale, the sole fundraising event of the organization and, indeed, impor-tant support.

But where do the plants for sale come from? And how are they potted and labeled? Fortunately, most peren-nials must be divided or thinned peri-odically, to invigorate the plant or to keep it from dominating the garden. A hardworking group of Master Garden-

ers must find gardens where perennials need dividing and gardeners willing to allow a dig and divide team to show up for the job.

The team has a busy time on the site. Plants must be counted and recorded, properly potted and loaded for haul-ing. Formerly, after potting, plants were labeled using cuttings from ve-netian blinds stuck into the soil. This labor-intensive step has been replaced by transferring information from the team’s recorder to a data base from which labels are printed on special tags. Both common and botanical names are included, along with the de-gree of sun or shade the plant requires. Sometimes there’s special informa-tion, such as a special habit: Is the plant a vigorous spreader? And holes in the garden must be refilled. Team leader, Anne Riffey-Buckner, is on record as allowing no holes remaining after a digging. Store-bought top soil is used.

The best time to dig is in the fall, and the team tries to make that season their busiest. By springtime, these plants emerge from their soil fresh and perky, a good showing for the sale. But when

spring arrives, if the (approximately) 1,600 plants needed are not on hand, more must be dug. The team goes out early, digging as new shoots are just up, thereby avoiding later, mature fo-liage drooping and unappealing to the buyer. All this happens if weather per-mits. Cancellations aren’t always easy to make up.

Now the plants must be stored and cared for over the winter or, in the

springtime, weeks before the sale. This winter the county saw no veg-etation suffer from lack of water. The moisture was accompanied, though, with plenty of cold weather. Since the roots of potted plants don’t have the protection of deep soil, keepers were forced to take

Gimme ShelterAbout 150 volunteers converged over the past week, first at the Rockbridge home of Col. Grigg Mullen Jr., professor of civil engineering at Virginia Military Institute, and then at the community pool in Lexington, to build a timber frame shelter at the pool. The project was led by Mullen and his group of VMI cadets during the institute’s FTX (field training exercises) period. Students from several other colleges also participated, along with timber framers from the community and around the country. The shelter will provide much-needed protection from the sun for adults accompanying children to the pool, as well as for pool users taking a break. This is the 17th community timber frame project led by Mullen. Pictured are (clockwise from left) timber framers putting together one of the first bays of the 90-foot-long shelter; timber frame instructor Mez Welch of Rockbridge County using a handsaw at the pool site; a chisel being used to carve a joint into an oak timber; volunteers at work on the rafters; and homeschooler C.J.

By RoBeRta andeRsonTwo local fishermen took an unexpected

swimming dip when their boat capsized around noon on Thursday, Sept. 11, while fishing on Willow Lake in Raphine.

Rockbridge County deputies Tyler Falls and Mark Embrey were first on the scene and un-hesitatingly dove into the lake and succeeded in taking life jackets to the men who were clinging to side of the boat and to the engine. However, swimming while dressed in full uni-forms proved to be difficult, and the deputies

summoned an off-duty colleague, Deputy An-drew Ehrhard, who lived nearby and who also owns a kayak.

Ehrhard paddled quickly out to the men, and a rope was used to tow everyone ashore, along with the boat. The Rockbridge Baths and Ra-phine volunteer fire departments assisted in the rescue, and the chilly victims were then trans-ported to Carilion Stonewall Jackson Hospital to be checked out for any lasting effects.

The call for help was made by a nearby neighbor who spotted the overturned boat.

Annual FestivalNext Saturday

Boxerwood is planning its annual Fall Family Festival for next Saturday, Sept. 27, from 1 to 5 p.m. The seasonal celebration will include perfor-mances by Halestone dancers, a ukulele jam, tradi-tional activities such as apple pressing, and a few activities unique to this year’s event.

Boxerwood itself will share the spotlight at the 2014 festival. “This year’s celebration marks not

only the start of autumn, but also the start of Box-erwood’s 15th year as a community nature center,” explains education director Elise Sheffield.

Boxerwood was originally a private garden until the founding of the Boxerwood Education Association in 2000. Today it is a place with a purpose – to help people of all ages learn to take care of the Earth, starting here in Rockbridge. “We have preschool and grade school programs, camps, teacher workshops, garden tours, and all manner of special events,” Sheffield said, pointing out that that Boxerwood’s signature field-based school pro-grams now reach every child in Lexington, Buena

Vista and Rockbridge County. “None of our efforts would be possible, however, without community support and partnerships,” she added, “So this 15th anniversary is really a celebration of our commu-nity: what we can do together with energy and vi-sion on behalf of a healthier, thriving planet.”

In addition to performances and the traditional fall fare, Boxerwood will invite the community to participate in two activities that mark the 15-year anniversary milestone. Families interested in learn-ing a little Boxerwood history can retrace the

Boxerwood To Celebrate Fall

Bridge Club InvitesYou To The Table

Have you ever wanted to learn the game of bridge?Well, the Bridge Club of Lexington is here to help

this fall.The club is again sponsoring weekly bridge mini-les-

sons every Thursday evening at 6:30 in the parish hall at R.E. Lee Memorial Episcopal Church. The classes run to about 7:10, and will be followed by an optional session of playing bridge until about 9:45. The first class was this past Thursday.

This comprehensive series of bridge lessons is for absolute beginners and social players and will teach you everything you need to know to be an intermedi-ate level player, said Rob Apgar, a Silver Life Master and a certified bridge teacher who will be the primary teacher.

“Even if you have no prior knowledge of bridge, this is an easy, week-by-week progression to bridge com-petence, comfort and fun,” said Apgar. “By the end of the lessons, you will feel comfortable sitting down to play a social game or even venturing into one of the other three weekly club games held by the Bridge Club.”

“This course is a wonderful opportunity for people who want to learn and play the game with other begin-ners in a supporting and fun environment,” according to Reed Belden, a club spokesman.

Karen Jackson, a leading member of the club added, “These lessons are also for you players who want to brush up on your game for the first time in decades, and for those of you who want to improve your exist-ing social game by learning how old-fashioned ‘Goren’ bridge has evolved into basic Standard American.”

Apgar, the primary instructor, explained, “We will follow the same format I have been using with a group of novices for the past two years. We start with a 35-minute lesson on basics, and then we play for a few hours.

“I have simplified and refined these lessons for years, teaching students in small, manageable bites,” contin-ued Apgar. “The emphasis will be on having fun in the class. I love this game because it is fascinating and fun, and that’s what I try to convey to the students.”

Students do not have to come to every class. Each weekly lesson will have its own discrete topic and

It Was Ever Thus

I suspect that people who care about public affairs might have fallen into despair, and are curled up in a fetal posi-tion bemoaning the state of the world.

Not that I blame them, I myself feel that way from time to time. Following the news will do that to you. Es-pecially political news, which is somehow most depressing - perhaps because as citizens we feel certain responsibility for whatever is happening.

But if things in Washington, D.C., make Bedlam sound like a model government, it is nothing new. It was ever thus. And the best antidote to our despair is to cast one’s mind back.

Such as to Nov. 1, 1800, when President Adams arrived in the country’s new capital - Washington. And what did he see? Well, mostly mud. Pennsylvania Avenue, the fu-ture grand route for patriotic parades, which connected the Capitol with Adams’s future home was rough and over-grown with briars. On one section just below the Capitol a farmer was still growing his crops. But he would allow car-riages, if they chose so, to ride across his field.

This was 10 years after the Federal Residence Act was signed, on July 6, 1790, that

the seat of the government be located on the land ceded to it by the states of Virginia and Maryland, “On the river Potomack, at some place between the mouths of the Eastern-Branch and Conno-gochegue”.

The plan was that the gov-ernment was to move there with the new century.

In early 1791 President Washington selected Pierre Charles L’Enfant to do the layout of the city and ap-pointed three commissioners to supervise the planning. L’Enfant’s vision was a grand city on European scale. A vision which some people, among them Jefferson, did not share. But Washington liked it. As it happened there was a kerfuffle between

L’Enfant and the commis-sioners, in particular An-drew Ellicott. Ellicott won. L’Enfant was fired and by 1792 Ellicott slightly modi-fied his plan to what we have today and began building. Fortunately the main concept of the central Mall was kept.

But as seen the builders’ schedule and the govern-ment’s schedule were not coordinated. This was before our era of 24/7 media surveil-lance of public affairs. When the time came to move the government people did not know what they were getting into - until they got there. The Treasury Building was the

only completed building. The War, Navy and State offices had to rent temporary rooms - which were hard to come by. The Supreme Court was still homeless two months after their arrival.

The House of Representa-tives had to meet in rooms of the Library of Congress, which were not designed for such a crowd. There were not enough toilets. Few days be-fore the Congress convened the door keeper was suggest-ing they put a toilet in the cen-ter of the lobby so that those members of the Congress, “who are at such a distance from the ground floor that it might be difficult to reach the journey’s end in time.”

President Adams was not spared. When he arrived at the President’s House he had to enter it on wooden planks placed over a one-story gap between the basement and the front door above it, as work-men were still busy inside.

From the 30 rooms of the house, six rooms were prepared for the president. Prepared being used rather loosely. To reach them Adams had to climb a twisting back stair because the future main staircase was just a big hole. Not single room was quite finished. They all reeked of wet lime and horsehair used in the plaster, and despite fire in fireplaces, were bone chillingly cold. The furnish-

ings moved from Philadelphia were meager and dwarfed by the size of the rooms. And there were not enough lamps to go around.

Three months earlier the secretary of the treasury Oli-ver Woolcott saw it and said, “I cannot but consider our presidents as very unfortunate men, if they must live in this dwelling”.

The outside was even worse. The construction site was a muddy mess covered with supplies, brick kilns and various sheds and huts.

Especially annoying were the huts workers put up for themselves to live in. When asked to tear them down they said that there were no other accommodations in the city, and the president’s house would not get finished if they had to move.

But Adams soldiered on. For solace he asked his wife Abigail to join him. Which she did. She called it the “Huge Castle”. It probably was harder on her than on her husband. Adams was not a wealthy man and they could not afford the servants neces-

sary to run such a large house. Nor to furnish it in the style it demanded. In the main recep-tion hall, today’s East Room, Abigail used to hang her wash.

The worst may have been that 1800 was another election year, where the sitting presi-dent and his vice president were opposing candidates. If possible the campaign was even more venomous than the last one. Then one of Jeffer-son’s supporters called Adams “hideous hemaphroditical character which has neither the force nor firmness of a man, nor the

gentleness and sensibility of a woman.”

During the 1800 campaign Adams was accused of being

mentally deranged, as well as pro-monarchy. He was blamed for the imperial design of the capital, although it was Washington whose pet project it was.

Having lost the election, on March 4, 1801, at four o’clock in the morning Adams left Washington. He did not attend Jefferson’s inauguration.

Instead he was going home to “potter in my garden among the fruit Trees

and Cucumbers, and plant a Potatoe Yard with my own hand.”

Casting one’s mind back on history helps. It shows that in politics it was always thus. And always will be.

Library MarksBanned Book Week

Banned Books Week, Sept. 21-27, is the national book community’s annual celebration of the freedom to read. Hundreds of librar-ies and bookstores around the country draw attention to the problem of censorship by mounting displays of chal-lenged books and sponsoring a variety of events.

Rockbridge Regional Li-brary on Main Street will be among those, offering a display of books which have been previously banned.

Banned Books Week was launched in 1982, in response to a sudden surge in the num-ber of challenges to books in bookstores, libraries and schools. According to the American Library Associa-tion, more than 11,300 books have been challenged since 1982.

Grades 6-12Glen Maury Park, Buena Vista

The 27th annual Hatcher Family Re-union was attended by 138 relatives and friends Aug. 16 at Glen Maury Park. The reunion is held each year on the third Saturday of August for the descendants of the Henry M. (1867-1950) and Mary Ellen Hartigan Hatcher (1870-1948) of Rockbridge County.

Janet Helsel Stasulli and her husband Dominick Stasulli of Forest and Mary Hazelwood Harrison and husband Hyl-ton Harrison of Buena Vista were named “special honorees.” This award was es-tablished in 1998 and has been presented each year to family members who have made significant contributions toward the success and the perpetuation of this event.

Janet Stasulli is the daughter of the late Mary Carter Helsel and Jesse Hel-sel Sr. Mary Harrison is the daughter of the late Rosalee “Dimple” Carter Hazel-wood and George “Reese” Hazelwood. Janet and Mary are first cousins and both are the granddaughters of the late Janie Hatcher Carter and William “Pete” Carter, all of Rockbridge County. They each received a handmade afghan that was made and donated by Bessie Hatcher Monroe of Lexington. Monroe has made and presented 18 handmade afghans since the award was established in 1998.

Individuals came from as far away as Marietta, Ga., and ranged in age from 2 to 92.

All activities were held in the multi-purpose pavilion with a picnic lunch and live music followed by an afternoon pro-gram. At noon, Robert L. “Bob” Hatcher of Rockbridge County called the festivi-ties to order with the blessing. Local re-cording group Wonder provided country, gospel and bluegrass music from 1 until 2:30 p.m. As has been the custom since the reunion was founded, the day was dedicated to the memory of deceased family members and friends with the lighting of the family unity candle.

The food for the picnic lunch re-quired eight full tables, plus two tables were placed at the front of the pavilion to display “In Remembrance” pictures of the Hatcher ancestry dating back as far as 1825.

Jesse and Nancy Helsel of Mitch-elville, Md., headed up the children’s games during the music and awards seg-ments, entertaining young and old alike with water balloon toss, sack races, hula hoop competition, the limbo, dunking for apples and tug-of-war contests.

The program continued with the awarding of 71 gifts and prizes that were contributed by the family members.

Recipients included:Macey Harrison, age 2, and Jayson

Hughes, 4, were presented gifts for being the youngest children of Hatcher lineage present.

Dorothy Hatcher Lunsford, 92, and her brother Robert L. “Bob” Hatcher, 85, were honored for being the seniors of the family in attendance. Dorothy and her son David Brandenburg of Marietta, Ga., and Robert and Betty Hatcher of Norfolk were recognized for traveling the greatest distance.

Couples receiving awards for being married the longest were Robert and Betty Hatcher, 55 years; and John and Dorothy Brandenburg and Bill and Patri-cia Holland, both 52 years. Mitchell and Cindy Harrison were recognized as the “family newly-weds.”

Henry Hatcher of Lexington received a handmade door wreath from his fam-ily that was presented by Mark Jones in appreciation for his service to the family reunions. The program ended with the awarding of door prizes, while Matt Sor-rells served watermelon, compliments of Herman’s Produce of Lexington.

The Hatcher family cookbook, “Fa-vorite Recipes of the Hatcher Clan,” was available for purchase at $10 each. This volume was compiled in 2002 and contains a total of 318 recipes, many of which have been used and handed down from generation-to-generation by the Hatcher family of Rockbridge County.

By Randy WalteRsWhat started off as a wet, dreary day turned

into a beautiful night for racing at Natural Bridge Speedway, with five divisions in ac-tion. Only four racing weekends remain this season, so the points picture is starting to come into focus.

The featured division, with extra distance added, was the 25-lap All-American feature, and a rookie captured his first win. Mason Rhodes held off Brandon Link for the win by about a tenth of a second after Link patiently worked his way from the seventh position past other drivers. R.L. Tyree placed third.

In the street stock feature, current point leader David Brogan outdueled Lexington’s Troy Fitzgerald for the race lead on the open-ing lap and held onto the lead to earn his 10th win of the season. About halfway through the race, Fitzgerald took his car to the pit area when R.W. Armstrong spun out to bring out the caution flag, and Keith Nelson came in second. Finishing third was Keith Herring.

Winning the late model feature was Greg Roberson, who moved into the lead on the 11th lap. Philip Woods led early on and placed second by 5.357 seconds. Woods trails current point leader Joey Leavell by 21 points. Com-ing in third was Eric Groah.

Capturing the sportsman feature was Logan Roberson, taking the lead with six laps to go and not relinquishing it. Ryan Adams placed second, and Ronnie Martin, the previous weekend’s winner, came in third.

For the third week in a row, Derek Wright won the pure stock feature. Lee Brooks led in the opening lap, but Frankie Drewry blasted by Brooks on the second lap and maintained the lead until a restart on Lap 12.

Drewry and Howard Hall became hooked together on the restart, and both cars went over the bank in the second turn. Wright inherited the lead and held off Doc Vest and Brooks for the win. Wright trails Brooks by 31 points.

Pie Fun At The Pool

Over 100 children turned out for the fifth annual Rockbridge Pie Festival last Saturday at the Com-munity Pool. One of the activities was the goldfish catch (shown at right) in the wading pool. Goldfish were released into the pool, which was free of harmful chemicals for the fish, and each child was allowed to go in and catch one to take home. (Claudia Schwab photo)

Elliott’s Hill United Methodist Church

Elliott’s Hill United Methodist Church had its beginning with an organizational meeting in 1849 at the home of Mr. John Saville and his wife Sarah, own-ers of Elliott’s Hill. At this meeting with the Reverend Mr. Hilderbrand presiding, the Savilles donated land on the west side of the hill for building of the church and on the east side for a school, Buffalo Bend. The church, a large white frame, weather boarded trimmed in green, was erected among spreading oaks overlook-ing Buffalo Creek and the Valley below.

The church being the center of social life in the community grew and flourished attaining a member-

ship of ninety at the turn of the century. With the growing population also came the demand for better roads, so Route 11 no longer followed the old stage coach road across Elliott’s Hill. This necessitated the moving of the church to its present location in 1929, off of Route 11 and 764.

Visitors are always welcome. Sunday School is at 9:30 a.m. followed by worship service at 10:15.

Snippets of these stories will later be available as audio clips on the Boxerwood Web site.

Apple pressing will be taken to a new level this year with the invention of an Ap-ple-Pult, a Rube Goldberg-type contraption that will have children lobbing fruit into the hopper of an apple press. The wacky machine is being de-signed and built by Jay Sulli-

van, an engineering professor at VMI. Pumpkin bowling will be another festival first.

Halestone Dance perfor-mances will begin at 2 and continue throughout the after-noon, throughout the garden, according to artistic director Nancy Saylor. Four different site-specific dances will be performed by students and faculty, including a solo dance by the studio’s ballet director, Julia Vessey.

At 3 p.m, members of the RCHS Ukulele Club will per-form in front of the lodge. Children and adults who play the ukulele are invited to bring theirs and join the club for a jam session.

Fresh cider and donuts will be available for purchase

throughout the day, and mem-bers of the Lexington Moms Club will hold a bake sale, do-nating the proceeds to Boxer-wood. The SPCA will also be on site, bringing pets in need of families to adopt them.

Admission to the Fall Fam-ily Festival is free for Box-erwood members and $5 per carload for nonmembers (re-funded for families that join Boxerwood the day of the festival).

In the event of heavy rain, the festival will be postponed a day until Sunday, Sept. 28. More information about the Fall Family Festival will be posted at www.boxerwood.org and on Boxerwood’s Facebook page.

continued from page 1stand on its own. So it will be OK if someone has to miss a few weeks and then comes back, said Apgar.

Bridge is the world’s best and most popu-lar social game for good reasons, said Apgar. “This truly marvelous and challenging game rewards and satisfies 30 million Americans on many different levels,” he said. “Bridge is fas-cinating, and teaches you logic, cooperation, discipline, psychology, mathematics and eth-ics. In addition to stimulating your mind, you will learn a lot about yourself and others from observing how they and you meet challenges, triumph, disaster and redemption at the bridge table.

“One of the best byproducts of bridge is that the game builds bridges between young and old, men and women, African Americans and whites, liberals and conservatives, and be-tween generations and within families,” Apgar

said. “The world would be a better place if diplomats first played a few hours of bridge together. It does not matter at what age you begin to play bridge; the fact is that it can be-come a healthy passion. Finally, bridge is a universal language that is your passport to in-stant friendship anywhere in the world.”

All individuals are welcome to the lessons and games, whether they come with a partner or not. “If you want to play, the Bridge Club guarantees you a playing partner,” said Apgar.

There is a $2 per person fee per night, all of which goes to defray rent and other costs, including photocopying the student handouts prepared by Apgar. Students who pay the fee will receive a set of learning materials for that evening’s class.

Interested individuals should call Rob Apgar at 460-2489, so the Bridge Club can get an idea of how many students to expect. Preregistra-tion, though, is not required.

Living, Learning History

For reenactors, “Thunder in the Valley” offered a rare chance to “live” Civil War his-tory with a cross-country ride from Augusta County to the Virginia Horse Center and par-ticipate in reenactments there. For area children – and adults – it was a chance to learn in-depth about history. Here, cavalry reenactors (in photo above) head down a farm lane in Brownsburg on Friday, June 11, after saddling up in the moments before (in photo at top right). The evening before, a number of area residents toured the camps at Browns-burg (in photo at far right). On that Friday, meanwhile, area students listen to a reenactor at the Virginia Horse Center talk about weapons. (Darryl Woodson, Mary Woodson and Stephanie Mikels Blevins pho-tos)
