In the Spotlight
n November 18, 2015, the Buckingham County Gifted Program welcomed Mr. Taiki Sawabe, a coor-dinator with the Japan
Outreach Initiative (JOI). JOI offers a grassroots opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of Japan by send-ing Japanese individuals to the United States as volunteer coordinators of com-munity outreach activities about Japan.
Mr. Sawabe began his presentation with an introduction to basic Japanese greetings. The students were engaged right away, and when Mr. Sawabe intro-duced numbers and the alphabet, every-one wanted to learn to spell his or her name! How surprised they were when they realized that most of them would have to settle for a phonetic spelling be-cause the Japanese alphabet does not have of the same letters/sounds that the American alphabet has! The students were very excited and intrigued to learn of the differences AND the similarities between their lives and culture and the lives and culture of others so far away!
Our theme for the Gifted Program this year at the Middle School is “Mem-bers of A Global Community,” and the monthly participation with JOI and Mr. Sawabe is a wonderful, educational way to expose our students to a new culture.

Students from Bear Creek Academy, a therapeutic day school for students ages 11- 18, recently visited Governor Terry McAuliffe and First Lady, Dorothy McAu-liffe in Richmond
The students presented the Gover-nor with a Leadership Award for ex-emplifying skills, such as perseverance and worth ethic. The Governor met the student delegation in his cabinet room where he answered questions about leadership, while also sharing his per-sonal story on how he has succeeded in life. The students confi dently engaged the Governor and had several questions about his job and his career path.
The Governor ended the meeting with
motivational advice to the students, “Dream big, do something you love...go for it and don’t stop until you reach your goals!” The students also met with the First Lady and learned about her life. She enjoyed the students so much that she invited them to the Executive Man-sion for chocolate chip cookies. The stu-dents were inspired and excited in shar-ing this special day with the Governor.
Before meeting with the Governor, the students toured the historically rich Capitol and learned about Veteran Af-fairs. The students had a luncheon with Matthew Leslie, Director of Housing De-velopment for Veterans in Virginia. The students had been learning about chal-
lenges of veteran homelessness in the nation and Mr. Leslie was able to further educate them and explain how Virginia has just led the nation in functionally ending veteran homelessness.
The school serves students from Buckingham, Cumberland, Prince Ed-ward and Powhatan.

hen we hear the sound of afiretruck go by our home, most ofus make a mental note of gratitudeto the volunteer firefighters whogive up their time to help save livesand property. What we might notbe aware of is that along with the
adult volunteers, there is a group of teenagers whoare also part of the Buckingham County force.Requiring significant hours of training and evenmore dedication, these selfless young lads are thefuture of our county who may, one day, be the menwho show up at your door to help save your homeand maybe even, you and your family’s lives.
Dillwyn Fire Department Fire Chief, JasonWharam, used to be one of those young teens whosaw how volunteering made a difference. “When Iwas in the sixth grade our house caught on fire,” hesaid. “Watching the volunteer firefighters save ourhome inspired me. I joined the squad as soon as Icould.” That gratitude has continued in his family
as Wharam’s son is also an active volunteer.Which brings us to our story – that of five young
Buckingham teens who are all part of the volunteerfamily; Michael Allen, Brent Davis, Cody Smith,Clinton Toney, and Dylan Wood. All still in highschool, all involved with school activities, and allwilling to give up their time for the common good.
Dylan has been part of the Junior Firefighterprogram for almost two years, the others for abouta year and a half. “You can’t join until you’re 16,”said Dylan. “And then, when you turn 18, thesquad can vote you in as an adult member.” Allfive young men have their personal reasons for vol-unteering but quite often it’s observing a familymember who had volunteered before them thatstarts the process.
“My older brother was my role model,” saidBrent. “He was a Junior Firefighter and wouldcome home from a run and tell me about it.”Amazingly enough, Brent, like his older brother, isalso on the county’s volunteer rescue squad, where

and I wanted to follow the tradition and also to serve the community.” Cody’s fatherand brother were both volunteers. “I wanted to follow their footsteps,” he said.Clinton shared that he use to go on calls with his step-father. “I always liked the wayeveryone picked in together to try to make someone’s worse day better,” he said.Dylan said, “I just saw how everyone was at the fire department and thought itwould be fun.

Fuqua youth collect food to donate
Retiring election officers honored
With thankful hearts and an eye towards helping others,Fuqua School’s Youth for Christ (YFC) members collected 410pounds of food to donate to Farmville Area CommunityEmergency Services (FACES) and County Line FACES inAbilene.
Mrs. Moore, YFC sponsor, helped the club officers coordi-nate the food drive again this year; students and teachers frompre-kindergarten through twelfth grade brought in donations.Continuing the support of FACES, the upper school boys weregranted permission to not shave during November if theybrought five items for FACES and volunteered at FACES at leastonce by the end of the Christmas break. FACES has more than850 families receiving services at this time, with more familiesprojected to be added by January. With the increase in foodcosts, these donations are greatly appreciated as FACES helpsfamilies in need throughout Prince Edward County.

The Buckingham County Electoral Board recently honoredseven retiring Buckingham County Officers of Election. Theretirees are Shirley T. Wooten, who retired after serving as anOfficer of Election for 29 years at the White Hall Precinct;Mary Etta Brown, who retired after 22 years at the White HallPrecinct; Frieda Wolford, who retired after serving 12 years atthe Curdsville Precinct; Barrie Cryan, who retired after sixyears at the New Store Precinct; Scott Crews who retired withsix years of service; and Jack and Janet Marshall who retiredafter five years of service. Officers of Election are dedicatedand civic minded individuals who work fifteen hours or longeron Election Day to help insure fair and honest elections.
on with two fatalities,” said Clinton. All acknowledged that, when volunteering, theyknew that such events would eventually happen. “Our training provides us with theknowledge that we can expect such situations,” said Michael. Brent nodded and said,“The ones that hurt me the most are the young kids.” The squad also has regulardebriefings with volunteers if they are involved in a particularly tragic event.
The training required to be part of this team is the most impressive, requiring atrue dedication to the cause. By law fire fighters have to complete 165 hours ofFirefighter 1 training by a state certified instructor. Buckingham has two suchinstructors: Caleb Bryan and Brian Allen. Training includes not only knowing thetools and firefighting techniques but also ventilation procedures, for entering a burn-ing house, as well as hazardous materials information. “Our company’s by-lawsrequire more intensive training than the state,” said Wharam.
The training involves two nights a week and nine hours, every month, on aSaturday. “I guess when I joined I knew it was going to be a commitment, some-thing I wanted to do,” said Clinton. They all agreed that training as a group hashelped. All also agreed that it takes a special type of teen to commit to the program,
requiring a large amount of dedication. “When the call comes in you want to ready,”said Cody. “And the first to arrive.” Along with firefighting training, Brent is also intraining for the rescue squad. “I got my EMT a few months ago,” he noted. “WhenI go on a fire call, I can cross over and help the rescue squad, if needed.”
All see themselves remaining in the county and all expect to be voted into thesquad when they turn 18. “In one more month I hope to be voted in,” said Clinton,who is part of the Arvonia Department. That is an important point as Wharamstressed the need for volunteers. “We have 35 adults on our roster but only about10 are active. It would be great if we could get them all to be active. We need vol-unteers and these young men are the county’s future when it comes to the successof the fire department. During the day we often times have a hard time gettingenough volunteers to make the run.”
Like any good organization, there always has to be a plan for the future. Thesefive young and very remarkable young men represent that future for our county’svolunteer fire departments. Their hard work and willingness to sacrifice is com-mendable.

The Fuqua School PTSAsponsored the program, which combined astounding feats of skill, focus and athleti-cism with teaching moments of Chinese culture, language and history. FuquaSchool has had an International program for many years, and this was a greatopportunity for students to learn more about a classmate’s homeland. The programwas attended by Fuqua School students K – 12 as well as some additional commu-nity members. “We love welcoming visitors to our campus! I’m so glad that the 8thgrade students from Central Virginia Christian School and some of the area’s homeschool students accepted our invitation and were able to join us for this special pro-gram,” said Mrs. Christy Murphy, Director of Admissions at Fuqua School. “We aregrateful to the PTSA for sponsoring this program and are thankful to be able to shareit with others.” Audience members watched, enthralled, as the acrobats performedwith everything from yo-yos to hoops to umbrellas, bringing aspects of Chinese cul-ture to life. “I think that the Chinese acrobats were amazing…the culture was inter-esting, and the outfits were fabulous!” enthused Catherine Rutherford, a seventhgrade student at Fuqua School.

Hocker’s Mill For SaleA decree of the Circuit
Superior Court of Law andChancery of BuckinghamCounty directed the sale ofHocker’s Mill, with about26-30 acres of landattached. The auction wasset for December 12,1848. The property was togo to the highest bidder.The reason behind the salewas not announced in theRichmond Enquirer, how-ever, an extensive descrip-tion of the property wasincluded:
The mill is situated onSlate river, which furnishesan abundant supply of
water, about 3 [?] miles from the Court-house, 13 from Hardwicksville [Wingina], onJames river, and 25 from New Canton, in a fertile and fine wheat growing neighbor-hood. The machinery is believed to be excellent, and the brand of this mill hasalways stood high in the market. The mill has three pair of burr stones, used ingrinding wheat, one pair of rubbers, and two pair of corn stones, with a good andconstant corn custom. Attached to the mill is a good saw mill, and also an excellentwool carding machine. The improvements on the land, besides the mill, consist ofa good dwelling house, with necessary out houses, a cooper’s shop and schoolhouse.
Indications are that the Hocker family bought the mill at auction or the auctiondid not take place. In 1860, George Hocker owned the mill.

Buckingham County MurderOn December 4, 1911,
Richmond’s The Times-Dispatchannounced a shocking murder inBuckingham County:
Arvonia, Va., December 3—Officers and citizens of the upperend of Buckingham county are put-ting forth every effort to locate andcapture the bold thief and burglarwho so brutally murdered the oldConfederate soldier, Curtis Branch,at Manteo, on last Monday night.The reward offered by theGovernor, at the instigation ofCommonweath’s Attorney EdmundW. Hubbard, has been supplement-ed by the county Board ofSupervisors until the total amountoffered is now $350. Besides thework of local authorities, the
United States government is expected to send a detective to help ferret out thecrime, as the robbery which followed the murder, included the looting of the post-office at Manteo and the carrying away of post-office funds and stamps. As yet thosewho are working upon the case are unwilling to give out any information, though itis known that there are suspects of the crime. The murder was the most brutal andrevolting known in this section since the two Stewart brothers were murdered andburned [at] their home three years ago.
Curtis Nunley Branch, C.S.A.Edna Barney writes in her book, So Obscure a Person, that Curtis Nunley Branch
was born in Buckingham County on January 6, 1841. He was murdered at Manteo,dying on November 27, 1911. On February 20, 1861, Curtis married Eliza AnnDamron in Buckingham County. He stood just short of 5’9” was dark complected,with hazel eyes and brown hair. He fought for the Confederacy for four years, waswounded or injured three times, and was imprisoned at Point Lookout in Maryland.In his old age, he worked as a night watchman for the Patteson family at the Manteopost office and store. On duty, he was shot through a window and killed by burglarswho robbed the post office. According to Barney, the criminals were never appre-hended.
Buckingham Houses: Mount PleasantIn 1936, Rosa Garnett surveyed “Mt. Pleasant” for the Virginia Historical
Inventory, describing the large brick building in some detail and noting the histori-cal significance of the house:
Major David Patterson (sic) was a private in the American Revolution, andreceived his commission as Major in the State Militia in 1803, under Governor Page.He was a personal friend of Thomas Jefferson and often when the latter wasPresident of the United States, he would spend the night with his friend, MajorDavid Patterson (sic), in this house.
Connections to Thomas Jefferson are often exaggerated, misleading, or evenfalse. In this case, a visit to Mount Pleasant by the former president is documentedin Jefferson’s memoranda book. On August 22, 1821, he noted:
Mrs. Gibson’s lodgg. 2. Mr. Patterson’s (sic) vales [gratuity to the servants] .25Mrs. Flood’s brkft. 2. Hunter’s lodgg. 6.50In Jefferson’s Memorandum Books, Volume II, the entry’s footnote reads:On 21 Aug. TJ’s party evidently split up for the night’s lodging, with part staying
at Mrs. Gibson’s ordinary and part nearby at Mount Pleasant, the home of MajorDavid Patteson, on Route 602 about seven miles north of Buckingham.
Buckingham County: Annexation of TexasHistoric newspapers frequently contain peculiar tidbits and attitudes of the past,
including this unusual declaration made at Buckingham Court in 1847:“Honor to whom honor.”Dr. C.R. Fontaine, of Buckingham, puts in his claim for the somewhat doubtful
honor of having been the first to suggest the annexation of Texas: and, it will beseen, by the annexed certificate, that his claim is supported by strong testimony:
We hereby certify that Dr. C.R.Fontaine was the first person weever heard speak or write of thepropriety of annexing Texas tothis Union – let him have been inpublic or private life. This wasmany years ago, and we thoughtstrange of the position he took inpublic or private conversation onthe subject.
Yet it appears to be about to befalsified by the destiny of thenation, strange as we thenthought it.

HUSDA’s Natural ResourcesConservation Service (NRCS) is nowmaking $470,000 available throughthe Regional ConservationPartnership Program (RCPP) to helpincrease adoption of forestry practicesstatewide.
Offered in cooperation with theVirginia Department of Forestry(VDOF), the RCPP Forestry Programoffers landowners an opportunity tohelp establish and maintain the forest-lands that are fundamental to cleanair and water, wildlife habitat andrecreation/tourism. Interested individ-uals should sign up by December 18to be considered for FY16 funding.
VDOF foresters will help eligiblelandowners develop a plan to managetheir land for specific purposes, suchas recreation or wildlife habitat. ThisForest Management Plan outlines thelandowner’s goals and objectives, rec-ommended conservation practicesand an implementation schedule.Financial assistance is available forcreating this plan as well as installingthe following conservation practices:prescribed burning, critical area plant-
ing, riparian forest buffers, firebreaks, tree/shrub site preparation, tree/shrub estab-lishment and forest stand improvement.
“Well-managed, productive forests offer numerous conservation benefits, but thelong growth cycle of trees can present a financial challenge for landowners seekingto retain working forestlands,” said NRCS Virginia State Conservationist Jack Bricker.“By joining forces with state and local partners, we can have an impact well beyondwhat the federal government could accomplish on its own.”
Created in the 2014 Farm Bill, RCPP empowers local leaders to work with a vari-ety of partners to design conservation solutions that work best for their regions.More information on Virginia RCPP projects is available online atwww.va.nrcs.usda.gov/. Visit www.nrcs.usda.gov/GetStarted or your local USDA serv-ice center to learn more about technical and financial assistance available throughour conservation programs.

Buckingham icon was recently honored, when friends, family, churchand community members joined together to recognize the life of 99year old Mary Frances Jones Clarke. The event, which took place atSlate River Baptist Church, was a celebration of the life of a remarkablewomen who is loved and respected by all. Clarke, who ran Clarke’sStore for 66 years, just recently closed the business and moved to
Baltimore to live with a family member. The event at Slate River Baptist Churchgave the community the opportunity to express their love and gratitude for herimpact on the community.
Clarke’s involvement in the merchant business began very early. Born inLynchburg, she moved to Buckingham at the age of five to live with her grandmoth-er, who operated a store in the Slate River area. The story is that Clarke stood on asoda crate so that she could operate the cash register. In 1949, she and her hus-band, Robert, built the current store.
If ever you travelled on St. Andrews Church Road, you would be sure to have seenMary F. Clarke. When she wasn’t inside the store, she would be sitting on its frontporch, smoking a cigarette. In fact, many people in the community still call thatroad, “Mary Clarke Road,” simply for her eternal presence. Her life was entwinedwith the store, her church, and the Slate River community.
The constant theme of the celebration in her honor was the powerful influencethat Clarke had, not only on her family, but also the community. Many people spokeof how she provided the community much needed resources and gave assistanceand support to numerous people in need.
The love that the people has for this remarkable lady was evident on that sunny,autumn Sunday afternoon as they celebrated life and times of a true Buckinghamicon.
