Earlier this morning, we inadvertently published online the wrong version of Priscilla Richardson’s weekly column.

The correct version is here.

Rebekah Woodie

You often hear people with children say that the schools in Botetourt give them a strong reason to live here. What makes Botetourt schools so good? The teachers who give of themselves above and beyond their classroom jobs. One such: Rebekah Woodie, the coach behind the accolades her James River High School students earned in state wide competition. “It all started with a writing contest within the school,” she said. She got outsiders to act as judges, including a published poet. The winners went on to a workshop where Woodie worked with them on all the fine points of how to write. What they got was a college level experience, similar to those Woodie knew from her years of graduate work at Hollins University.
“Writing means rewriting,” she said, and these students rewrote time and time again. Woodie asked them to clarify, simplify, and rectify their good writing to turn it into excellent writing. All that noncredit work after school illustrated the pains as well as the joys of serious writing. The results: Cheyenne Falls won first place in the state with her poem, “Boots.” Megan Wentworth won second place in the state with her poem, “Summer House.” Ruth Bordett won second place in the state with her essay, “Tell.” Megan Lam won 4th place in the state with her story, “A Corner of the Sky.”
The students submitted a booklet containing all their work. It received a “superior” rating, overall — “the only school to get such as rating,” Woodie noted.
Woodie, 59, grew up on a farm, that of her parents, Fincastle’s Bob and Phyllis, and lives today on another in Blue Ridge with her own family and horses, sheep and dogs. But that leaves out her professional story. A Lord Botetourt High graduate, she followed that with a degree in theater from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Hollins MA. And she later fit in three years of night classes at the Roanoke Graduate Center to get her degree in library science, as well.
After a job teaching in Richmond city schools right out of college, she worked as a Blue Ridge Writing Project fellow in Roanoke County schools. Teaching writing, of course. “I went from school to school, working with kids who wanted to write.” However, so did she, so she started another career, this time, freelance writing for area publications. And managed Hollins summer programs and taught at Virginia Western as an adjunct. Plus married and had two children. And somehow she made time to work as a coauthor on textbooks on writing.
Another job, as special events and public relations coordinator for the arts at the Art Museum of Western Virginia, now the Taubman, led her back to teaching again.
Now as a full time teacher at River for ten years, she has supervised many literary projects, including the magazine Currents. Like her individual students, the magazine has won many awards, too. This year marked another time River students did well in state competition under her supervision.
Woodie’s life with horses has run as a backdrop through all her various careers — riding, caring for, doctoring, breeding, training horses. She calls them her “passion.” And she loves teaching riding to children, especially those who have difficulties with other activity.
She hopes one day to set up a training stable, or maybe to work as a librarian. No telling what this talented woman will continue to do as she enriches our entire county.

Jim Bushong

“People don’t believe what Kiwanis does. It’s probably the biggest secret in Botetourt,” said James “Jim” Bushong, longtime member and supporter. A retired teacher and proud of what Kiwanis does for youth and the community, Bushong spends his days either volunteering or enjoying life with his wife Kay and seven grandkids.

Bushong comes from a well-known Roanoke family but he grew up in Botetourt after the death of his parents. Old-timers recall his high school job as Mr. Peanut dancing in the street, where the Howard Johnson’s restaurant was. “I walked from Cloverdale to the peanut store cause I didn’t have a car.” And he’d also help unload tour buses stopping at area motels.

Before and after his 1964 graduation from Lord Botetourt, he worked summers with some now famous local men, Dan Naff and Jack Leffel, helping build the interstate with cement from the Botetourt plant. He hadn’t planned on college but ended up doing it, then went to work with Eli Lilly in creative plastic packaging. His next career move took him to Skyline Paint and Hardware from 1968 til ’72. There he learned some survival skills. When an arsonist set the paint store on fire, “the fire was to destroy the [financial] records, but we had a fireproof safe to protect them.”

At this point he asked advice of a now-deceased teacher who said “you need to be a teacher.” So as a teacher at the Botetourt Technical Education Center, looking back on it, he said, “I had a good ride. Good students, good supportive administration. I never regretted going to work, went not a day without work or a day without a paycheck.” He realized that “the students you teach might be your next-door neighbor some day. Your goal should be to make sure you’d be comfortable with a former student being your next-door neighbor.”

So when a Kiwanian invited him to join, he decided that he needed to give back to the community and started his Kiwanis career. Everyone knew he specialized in construction and engineering, so one of the first projects he did was insulating a trailer for a lady. The whole club helped build the playground equipment at Greenfield. And they took on quarterly cleanup of Exit 150. “We do 12 to 25 bags each time” covering all the on and off ramps.

The club’s less visible participation in promoting CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) helps many Botetourt children. You’ll find a Kiwanis hand in the Currents art and poetry program in the schools, the annual scholarships for graduating Botetourt students and the dictionary program. One of the most important programs of Kiwanis, it supplies each Botetourt third-grade student with a dictionary with his or her name in it — a dictionary the student can then take home. And you’ve heard about the teacher of the year award? Kiwanis gives this to recognize excellent educators in the county.

Key Clubs in the high schools train youngsters for service. They helped with the huge shredding and recycling event Kiwanis did recently. “Some students turned out to assist even tho it was spring break. We still had their support and help.”

Bushong also occasionally substitute teaches. “I miss the kids. It’s great to share the experience of my life with them from a business and industry standpoint. I know what it is to hire and fire, and to see what skills they really have.” And he knows how to share real world information — “there is no free lunch out there” — as students prepare themselves for careers and good citizenship.

You don’t have to have lived here long before you hear about old buildings constructed from “bricks made on the place.” Botetourt’s abundant clay gave raw material for both bricks and earthenware. As a result, potters set up businesses to make and sell pots, urns, pans, bowls, pitchers and other sorts of household wares here.
Kurt Russ, an expert on these pots, will speak at the second half (1 p.m.) of the event “All Fired-Up in Botetourt” on Saturday, May 14, at the Community House in Buchanan. The first part, on Botetourt bricks, takes place on the same day at 10:30 a.m., led by Mike Pultice, of the state’s Department of Historic Resources.
Russ, 54, not a potter himself, knows his pots from archeological digs in the area. While attending Washington and Lee he participated in excavations of Liberty Academy, the late 18th century school that evolved into W&L. “Ceramic artifacts tell you so much about things people wanted to use,” he said. “You can see their wealth and status from imported Chinese wares, but these coarse wares” made locally tell about everyday life.
After graduating he wrote up a lot of the work done at Liberty and followed that with a masters degree from the University of Tennessee. He gave up his doctoral work at UT to respond to an invitation to come back to W&L to work on research projects covering both prehistoric and historic eras. These projects included early industry in the valley such a pottery kilns.
“We excavated pottery kilns in the late ’80s. Now, 25 years later, we’re adding new insights.” He did research on Tidewater stoneware manufacturing, too, and found the trade link between Henrico and Botetourt. Then from 1984 until 1996 he directed the anthropology lab, then segued into selling real estate specializing in historic properties.
He got some hands on historic work when he and his wife Linda took on a 1798 farmstead near Lexington. But he now also serves as the vice director of the southern Shenandoah Valley branch of Preservation Virginia, and he now has added Botetourt and Augusta to his work’s territory.
Russ has done extensive research on the pottery making families in Botetourt, including those of George M. Fulton and Pete Obenchain, makers of earthenware with lead glazes. He’s studied lists of pottery wares shipped through Buchanan and sold in shops there. “Because Botetourt potters were late getting to the salt-glazed stoneware tradition, bills of lading show stoneware was being brought down from Henrico, on the James, for sale here.”
Both Russ and Pulice hope those attending their presentations will bring bricks or pots they believe were made in Botetourt or nearby. Russ also wants to find more information about an Obenchain kiln operating somewhere along Mill Creek. “Somebody might find shards and find where it was so it could be registered with the state.” He warned that potters here rarely signed their pieces, but sometimes they would incise marks on them.
He’s looking forward to discovering the location of the Israel Christian kiln. “He either had a pottery person or he was one. I’ve seen fragments, so I know there was an 18th century kiln in the Fincastle area.”
Russ encourages all comers to enlighten him on their knowledge of Botetourt pottery. He will bring a large number of pots with him so he can illustrate his talk, but he expects also to learn from the audience. So make sure you bring your pots and bricks and engage in discussion about things “fired up” in Botetourt.

Joe Sutliff

How much is my house worth? Why is the house down the street getting appraised for so much less than we all paid five years ago? The answers — sometimes unknowable — to these and many other questions form part of Joe Sutliff’s current volunteer job as the president of the Roanoke Valley Association of Realtors. Yes, he keeps up with local, state and national trends and statistics that let him help his colleagues help their clients, as well as his own. Yes, he serves on committees both local and state. As a result, he knows that while existing home sales are up, prices are down, at least for a while, as our area comes out of a housing price slump.

Sutliff, an agent with ReMax All Stars located on Roanoke Road in a renovated former college building behind Blue Collar Joe’s, has a background in religion. After finishing high school at Lord Botetourt, he attended college and then Southeastern Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC. He worked as a minister of education in two churches before a Carolina agent “lured me away into real estate,” he said. “I had no ambition to be a senior pastor. I wanted to be in the education part of it.”

So, having found a compatible career, he and his wife Kim decided after their second child they wanted to live close to their parents in this area. So they moved, and after transferring his real estate license to Virginia, he started representing buyers and sellers of real estate here.

“I enjoy what I do. Some agents have given up in the area. When the market was good, we had close to 1,750 agents in our area. Our association membership right now is at 1210.” He isn’t seeing as many new folks getting into the business now.

Which leads him into the murky topic of what a house is worth. Even in Botetourt, he sees some distressed properties, either ones foreclosed or those heading that way. So when a neighbor goes to sell, an appraiser has to set a value. And all it takes is one foreclosure or short sale — a sale for way less than the house is worth, when a bank takes some part of what the seller owes — to bring down the value for the entire street. “So if it’s generally a $300,000 neighborhood and one sells for $225,000 or $250,000, it becomes a comparable sale” — a sale an appraiser must look at to set the value for all the nearby places.

Such low price sales skew the appraisal and thus the loan process. “They back up the whole system.” And make the job of deciding how much the property really is worth very difficult. No neighborhood enjoys immunity from this process. “We’ve seen foreclosures in just about every neighborhood and every price range.” Some longtime agents have never seen a downturn like this going so long, he noted.

What will stabilize the market and pull it out? “Personally I think it goes back to jobs. Jobs will also build consumer confidence for everything. When you buy a house you put $10,000 to $20,000 into things like furniture, curtains, rugs and appliances.” Two hopeful signs: very low interest rates on 30-year fixed rate mortgages and a national and regional slight upward trend.

For now, can you get financing for a house in Botetourt? “Absolutely!” he replied. “Lenders want to put the message out. With good credit and a stable job they’ll work with you for good financing.” With Sutliff and all the Realtors in Botetourt.

Alan Farley in battlefield regalia.

Alan Farley comes to Buchanan from his home near Appomattox as a Civil War re-enactor this weekend. He doesn’t just portray a Confederate chaplain, he actually is one: a chaplain to the re-enactors themselves.

How did he come to this dual role? By getting interested first in the war itself, and then in the role of his ancestors in it. “When I was in school I got interested in the centennial,” he said. “I collected a series of articles in Life magazine about the war. But as I got older my interest waned. But then about 1979, I started studying some of my ancestors who had fought during the war. By coincidence I met a Civil War reenactor who invited me to a reenactment of the Battle of New Market. I went out on a Sunday, and fell in love with it.”

Just as in any army, you don’t immediately move into a high position. He started as a green volunteer recruit, and worked his way up to noncommissioned officer level. But then, “I felt the Lord lay on my heart in 1984 to portray a chaplain.”

This mission led him to give up his career as a heating and air conditioning mechanic in 1991. He and his family then started as full time missionaries to reenactors and enthusiasts around the nation. He sees the throngs assembled for the re-enactments as his mission field, even as he portrays a role from long ago times.

Plus, Farley, 61, is spreading the word about the new National Civil War Chaplains Museum in Lynchburg, on the Liberty University campus. He hopes to recruit volunteer docents as well.

“Our museum is the only one of its kind in existence. It tells the whole chaplain story from the Union and Confederate sides. And tells about the work of the volunteers in the United States Christian Commission, a volunteer group of lay people sponsored by the YMCA to serve Union troops. And Catholic priests served, Jewish rabbis served and Protestants served as chaplains.”

As he portrays a chaplain authentically, he explains the role as far more than holding church services for the troops. “They would follow their own consciences.” They helped bring the wounded off the battlefield, helped surgeons after the battle. Some were even medically trained and did the work of a surgeon. And in field hospitals, they would nurse injured or ill soldiers, and sometimes write letters back to family for the men.

Between battles, especially in winter quarters when new recruits came in for training and all troops practiced drills, they held prayer meetings and taught Bible classes. Even taught men to read and write. Generally, a chaplain would do whatever he could to keep men from falling into the normal vices you find in any army, gambling, drunkenness and visiting women of ill repute. He would point out Bible teaching about ill gotten gains, the evils of spiritous drink and diseases.

Farley’s wife Faith takes part in the encampment by sewing up the pages of Bible tracts to make them ready to hand out. As happened back then, the pages came loose from the printer. Also, she illustrates the great amount of clothing worn. Women had on at least seven layers, including long sleeves. Men too wore long sleeves and vests, even in the summer. His wife makes lace and loves to talk about this old craft to any who come by her site.

Make sure you come to Buchanan to meet Farley and all the reenactors. You can learn how ordinary people and soldiers lived 100 years ago.

Laurie Mrva

While you were laughing at the antics of Laurie Mrva’s Sister Leo in Attic’s production of Nunsense, you probably had no idea of the serious side of her life: she runs a local business that aims to help self-employed folks achieve success. Now, if you yourself have a business or are thinking of starting one, or you work as an outside salesperson whose income depends on acting like a business owner, that probably caught your attention.

Daleville’s Mrva hails from the town of Maine in New York state. Until she came to Daleville in 2005 to visit a friend, she never thought she’d live here. But “at the end of a week, I fell in love,” she said. “It felt like home.” This from a woman who had studied fashion merchandising. And had worked with the Footlocker company in New York City for 11 years, achieving executive level.

As part of her job she found “I have a talent and passion for helping my employees deal with obstacles to their careers. I got the ‘problem children’ who needed TLC. I worked with some who had been forgotten. One woman, I had to give her a 90-day notice, but told her if she [could learn to] come in with the correct attitude she’d keep her job. This was a cool thing to experience.

“A year after that, I worked with a man within the company. I gave him the opportunity to work at it and he became a totally different person. And got promoted to a position he had always wanted and had not been able to get in five or six years.”

So she learned how to develop what was inside people. And in running her business to do just that she has added assessment materials and coaching. No sooner had she started her business in 2008 than she signed up for Leadership Roanoke Valley. “My team’s environmental program, ‘Actions Change Tomorrow,’ was voted best program by our classmates.” This led to her joining the Cool Cities Coalition. She also volunteered at the Botetourt Environmental Expo last year.

Two of Mrva’s Botetourt clients spoke about her. Kim Mott, of Padgett Business Services, found Mrva’s coaching let her develop a business plan so that she can in turn help her own accounting clients reach their goals. Caleb Mann, of Mann’s Farmers Insurance Agency, has worked successfully with Mrva on various projects about his business.

As you might guess from her Nunsense role, Mrva, 36, has musical ability. She sings in her church’s choir and plays the cello. “Music has been a part of my life from a very early age: beginning dance at age three, performing in musicals from age six and playing the cello from age nine through college in orchestras. I now bring it out at holidays to accompany my church choir. Someday, I hope to become involved in an orchestra again.” Meantime, she’s involved with Attic, acting or doing sound or light work.

With all this talent and experience Mrva finds herself in demand by charities as well as clients. Now she’s working on the second Goodwill fashion show August 11 at the Jefferson Center. But she keeps her business goals always forward.

She loves working with people to help them overcome the frustrations holding them back so they can find greater success and fulfillment in their lives. How does she find clients? Through “a lot of networking.” The secret to her own success lies in believing in herself, persevering and figuring out how to overcome obstacles: not settling for status quo. Good secret for us all to know.

Lee Clark

The Roanoke location for the regional offices of the Red Cross fails to suggest the depth of its impact on Botetourt. So, you need know about the new Red Cross regional CEO, Lee Clark. Many supporters of the Rescue Mission already know Clark from their visits there, where he had been director of development until his recent move. That same pleasant man they knew there now runs the local Red Cross, and uses the help of Botetourt’s own Ann Layman, a volunteer who serves as secretary of the board of directors.

Maybe you associate the Red Cross with its blood giving programs, and rightly so. “Red Cross is the sole provider of blood and blood products at all area hospitals,” Clark said. “We have a very safe blood supply here,” he continued, “no problems with undetected illnesses.”

The blood services always need “lots of volunteers. And drives are held periodically all over Botetourt, including at Bonsack Baptist, the Botetourt Athletic Club, both high schools and Eagle Rock firehouse.” Clark suggests you keep an eye out for announcements, or go to their website for dates and times.

Other Botetourt aspects include the classes Red Cross offers teaching CPR [cardio pulmonary resuscitation] and first aid, because every second counts until the rescue squad can arrive. Other classes for would-be lifeguards in lifesaving skills, and would-be sitters in baby-sitting skills, provide not just things good to know. “These can give a young person, especially one from a low income family, a way to earn money with a summer or after school job,” Clark noted.

“One thing I have a passion for is the disaster service. Red Cross steps in when families are at their worst ebb — due to fire, flood, other disasters. We help people, comfort them, supply immediate needs.

“In Botetourt County, in the past year, five families were burned out. We helped them with food, clothing, hotel rooms, counseling, everything they needed to get through the immediate crisis, to get back on their feet. We can do grief counseling in such cases, especially for children. It’s traumatic for children to lose all their toys and belongings.”

Discussing disasters reminded Clark to mention that most home fires are preventable. “Mostly what we see are electrical fires and ones from alternative heating sources. The most important thing anyone can do is to have a working smoke alarm.” Five disaster action team volunteers live in the county so they can respond immediately to a fire. In case of a major countywide disaster, the Red Cross has shelter agreements with six county schools.

Red Cross also has a program which serves all members of the military and their families, especially important because Botetourt does not have a military base here. “We provide emergency communications between service members and their families, such as notification of a birth or death in the family, and financial assistance and counseling services, too.”

Clark, 47, grew up in Stuart but his college work at Radford University gave him ties to this area. Trained as a CPA, he started out doing straight accounting work. He soon switched to working for the Roanoke Times in finance, ending in marketing. Because of his volunteer work on the board of the Rescue Mission, he obtained his full time job there, where he had remained until now. With that accounting background, Clark handles the Japan relief fund work handily.

Clark urges everyone here in Botetourt to get and keep in working condition a smoke alarm. He much prefers that we all prevent fires than help with the aftermath. But for when fire or other disaster does occur, he sees to it the Red Cross gets and stays prepared.

Hal Bailey

If you had in mind a huge development for raw land, you’d probably do what the developers of Daleville Town Center did: call in Hal T. Bailey, 48, of Fincastle’s Engineering Concepts. As the only Botetourt firm to work on that project, Daleville’s Bailey and his team planned “everything except the buildings,” as he said. They worked on the layout, the roads, the water and sewer, the grading, the storm water drainage and everything else before the first bulldozer came in. If you didn’t know about their role, you wouldn’t know they’d had a part in it, because you don’t see most of what they do.

“The Town Center, Greenfield and The Glebe were similar,” Bailey said, “in that we were involved at the beginning. Worked on rezoning applications, the due diligence before they decide to go forward with planning, all the way through to construction.” This work covers both civil and environmental engineering.

And now, the firm also offers surveying, a preliminary step before developing land. Bailey calls his ECI Surveying a sister company to Engineering Concepts. “We’re trying to market surveying, such as boundary and topographic surveys.” The two ECI surveyors can work with the four licensed engineers of Engineering Concepts, or separately.

Their work locally has spread their reputation over the state. They also respond to requests for proposals. As a niche business, they can “go up against the large firms that do everything.” Right now, they’re working on some flood related projects for the city of Norfolk. But not every job rivals the Town Center in size. For example, they’re doing some work for Camp Bethel, a local church facility.

With jobs all over the state, Bailey cannot always predict his work hours. “We do whatever it takes. We have town council meetings and rezonings at night, and the work for Norfolk calls for overnight trips.”

Another local project dear to the hearts of Buchanan residents centers around the water distribution system for the town. “They have to have a lot of line replacement because so many lines [pipes] date back to the early 1900s and they’re leaking. We plan for appropriate line sizes and water meters that a radio can read from a distance.”

When you hear the name Bailey in Botetourt, you have to ask, “which one.” Two doctors, one a popular local veterinarian and another an endocrinologist in Roanoke, an airline pilot, a carpenter and an auto sales dealer make up his list of five brothers. His father, Dewey, has retired to The Glebe.

A Bailey by marriage, Hal Bailey’s wife Cindy, a frequent substitute teacher, went to Virginia Tech, as did he, but they only met when he was working in Richmond. But when they knew this was heading to marriage, they decided to live in Botetourt. Once back, he built on his experience with a 300 acre development in Richmond and started his own firm at age 29.

Bailey not only wanted to live in Botetourt, he wanted to live at his home place. So he and Cindy set about modernizing it, doing a lot of the work themselves. It took over four years, and they lived there while doing it, part of the time with an infant. “We both decided we’re glad we did it. And glad that it’s almost 20 years behind us. Insanity may be the best word for it,” he quipped.

Looking back on his success here, he said “it’s fun to go back and think about all the projects we worked on in the Roanoke Valley.” Plus he’s optimistic about 2011 and beyond. Just look at his record.

Beth Bailey Walton

Those who mourned the closing of the Botetourt Country Club now have reasons to rejoice. The golf course runs on a pay-as-you-play basis, no memberships, although it now is called the Botetourt Golf and Swim Club. To use the pool, you do have to join, but everyone, member or not, gets the added attraction of food service.

The food and pool part of this picture comes under the supervision of Fincastle’s Beth Bailey Walton, 50, daughter of Virgil Bailey, longtime supporter of local golf tournaments and player on this course. Walton has been offering reservation-only Friday night dinners on the club premises, although that changes this summer to once a month events. She welcomed 60 diners a week ago when the menu featured catfish in the club’s airy dining room. Another sold out night offered steaks. All dinners require reservations, which close a few days beforehand. If you want to know the dates, simply call or read her email newsletter.

The grill, serving hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches, salads and other such fare, opens in the morning to serve early golfers and stays open until dark. It sells wine and beer too, at appropriate hours. Walton features a menu special for Wednesday lunches. A ladies bridge group meets there once a week on Tuesdays. “Anyone who wants to come can join in,” Walton said. A book club may come, too.

You don’t have to swim or play golf to enjoy the sweeping view, which Walton says she does regularly. “You can see all the way from the cement plant to Eagle Rock.” A long time Botetourt resident, she once worked for the Clean Valley Council, helping spread its free programs to schools all over the valley. She got into managing the pool a number of years back when she and her family, including husband Mike, were members of the pool. “The next thing I knew I’m managing it [the pool]. They offered me this position [managing the food service, too] when the new owners took over in September.”

Walton takes the pool membership information and lets members know how much more than swimming they get. “We have a volleyball net, tennis court, basketball court, and space for the four square game.” And lots of trees for shade when you’ve had enough sun.

The pavilion can be rented for family parties or sports banquets. If you want to swim, too, you can get a day membership for your guests. For any large event, such as a wedding reception, she has a list of caterers as she can only do a limited menu with the kitchen they have. “We just finished the outside renovations, so I do hope to get the commercial kitchen equipment.” And no matter what equipment they have, they always need help 21 years old or more, for the summer. “Good for a college student,” she said.

On a pleasant day, the course will host over 150 players. Golfing comes under the supervision of two golf pros. John King, also the general manager, takes the calls for tee times and cart reservations, and he runs the pro shop as well. His brother Billy King joins him in this. Soon you can skip the call and get your play times online, when the web site is running fully.

Here you have extra options for this summer — more golf, swimming, sports, and a scenic lunch spot. Check it out!
