Cover designed by Marilyn Ellinger A treasured family photo includes Ruth Johnson Brooks, Kenneth Johnson, James Johnson Jr. (front row), James Johnson Sr. and Sally Elizabeth Johnson Johnson, (center row) Clarence Winston Johnson and Lucile Rebecca Johnson Jefferson (back row). Sally and James Johnson Sr. are Doris Ellis Williams’ great-grandparents and Gloria Johnson Gilmore’s grandparents. Clarence Johnson is Doris’ grandfather and Gloria’s father. By Pat Wilson Correspondent J ohnson origins may center at Johnson’s Grove north of Gordonsville, but the family roots extend into Louisa County. In addition, Doris Ellis Williams and Gloria Johnson Gilmore, both children of the 1960s, have also discovered that those roots have now spread to families across the United States. The women’s interest in their genealogy has led them to trace back ten generations to enslaved persons, some living on plantations in the Green Springs area. Through documents and family Bibles they were able to document to about 1775. “Our maternal side of QuarlesMahanes-Jackson-Johnson is deeply rooted in Louisa County,” said Gloria. “When I was stymied and couldn’t go any further, I had the good fortune to meet Elaine Taylor [Louisa County Historical Society executive director] who provided great leads, and we became involved in the Brackett’s Farm research of enslaved people in the Green Springs project. I found relatives who had no last names and that is almost unheard of for African American genealogy.” A slave named Charlotte is listed in a Watson family Bible where slave births were recorded between pages of the New and Old Testaments. That discovery led to the names of her sons, their mates and other descendants. “About 1858, we pick up the first people who added the last name of Quarles,” she said. “There were even instances where we could find the dollar value slave owners assigned to our relatives, which was heartbreaking but reality.” Both women are avid amateur genealogist, although Doris gives most of the credit to Gloria who is her aunt, even though the women differ only in age by two years and grew up as close as sisters. Virginia Isabella Johnson Ellis, Doris’ mother was Gloria’s older sister. While they shared childhood memories and family traditions, it was Gloria who first explored resources in Orange, Louisa and Albemarle counties searching for clues to their roots. Doris soon joined in the quest. “One of the things I researched was [plantation owners’] wills and so many of them mentioned where their slaves were sent or who they were given to,” she said, adding that not only wills and census counts, but also land documents, Bibles, obituaries, financial records, slave schedules and marriage notations all contribute to tracing ancestors. The women agreed that the work can be tedious, but the reward, when a connection is made and can be verified, is well worth the hours spent pouring over faded pages and handwritten entries. Not to mention, the disappointments felt when a tentative lead results in a false trail.

All photos by Pat Wilson. ouisa County Sheriff Ashland Fortune stresses that public safety is essential to the services his office provides to residents and businesses. Now, through generous funding by an Attorney General’s Asset Forfeiture grant, the department has two new pieces of equipment to strengthen that commitment. Both are well-outfitted HarleyDavidson motorcycles. Operating the vehicles are Nathan Hackler and W. Robert Hughes, two experienced and advanced-trained deputies. “Earlier this year we had applied for the grant available to localities, and with our initial grant we were awarded weapons and technology,” said Major Donnie Lowe, chief deputy and public relations officer. “After the grant was reopened because of additional available money, we applied for more technology and equipment but were turned down. It was suggested that funds were available for motor units so we 43 FOUR COUNTY PLAYERS Presents Nathan Hackler exhibited his Harley-Davidson unit at the Louisa County Agricultural Fair in August. applied for the motorcycles and were awarded the grant.” The grant not only paid for the two Electra Glide motorcycles with 103 highoutput motors and police packages, but also for the necessary equipment upgrades, appropriate gear from helmets and leather jackets to pants and boots and participation in a two-week training course at the Harley-Davidson site in Manassas Park. An additional grant from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles allows the deputies to conduct selective enforcement which means pulling over drivers for excessive speed violations or in any other observed unsafe circumstances. The protocol for back-up assistance is the same as that of patrol cars, according to Lowe. “Presently, selective enforcement only pays for hours involving traffic safety,” said Hughes. The two deputies continue to work their assigned shifts in patrol cars, while the selective enforcement hours are in addition, paid through the DMV grant. Fortune added that as the department studies data on the work of the men, their hours will probably be adjusted to increased patrols with the motorcycles as weather conditions permit. According to Lowe, the maneuverability of the motorcycles will be an asset in various emergency and nonemergency situations. “It helps us out with selective enforcement such as traffic control and in places where there is traffic gridlock on the highway and a motorcycle can get through faster than a car,” he said. “A secondary benefit is community policing. People love to look and talk about them creating a dialog with the public.” The sheriff indicated specific county localities where he anticipates the units will be most effective and efficient. “We use them now for community involvement, but I see them becoming more and more involved in patrol, especially in areas like Zion Crossroads with its heavy traffic load and in subdivisions for such things as property checks,” said Fortune. Lowe added that the employment of the motorcycles “will depend on meeting the needs of the community.” See Wheels page 6 BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE DIRECTED BY 'RICK GRAY PRODUCED BY WENDY NOVICOFF Something wicked this way comes...to Barboursville this autumn.

Norway’s king has invaded, backed by a rebel thane. Once a great king, Duncan seems unable to defend his realm. Two great warlords, Macbeth and Banquo, save the day. But neither lacks ambition, and in Scotland, the thanes can choose a king. When Duncan names his untested son to succeed him, one warlord – urged on by his wife and summoned by a strange prophecy – chooses the shortest route to the throne. This choice, and his bloody effort to cling to power, destroys him, his marriage, and – nearly – Scotland.

They escorted approximately 300 motorcyclists in a recent benefit ride that left from West Main Street, participated in the Town of Louisa Fourth of July parade and Hackler showed off his bike during the Louisa County Agricultural Fair. The deputy recalled the numerous children who wanted to sit in the saddle of his bike, and, of course, turn on the flashing lights. The volume of the siren often led to covered ears and requests to turn that off. Adults asked questions and took photographs. The new motor units are also available for funeral processions and attendance at other community events in Louisa and the surrounding counties as the deputies’ schedules permit. “It helps us bond with children and their parents as well as the segment of the population that enjoys riding bikes,” said Lowe. “It is a combination of community policing and community bonding. I am proud of the professionalism of the two deputies.” The Men behind the Wheels Hughes and Hackler were selected from a pool of applications that the sheriff’s office extended to its deputies. Both men, who are Louisa County High School graduates, already held motorcycle licenses and owned personal vehicles. Since a potential deputy has to be 21 years old to apply to the sheriff’s office, the future lawmen added to their resumes after high school graduation. Hackler worked for a lawn care service as a teenager, and then signed on with the Virginia Department of Transportation for ten years. He had also served as a county volunteer firefighter for 20 years.

She traced through her grandfather, Alexander Ellis Sr. because she knew their roots included property on Spotswood Trail in Trevilians, although she still does not know how or when it was acquired. For over 25 years, Doris has been adding to what she terms her Roots Wall, a collection of eight generations of photographs. Surrounding her photograph are Johnsons and Ellises, while surrounding her husband Leon’s photograph are his Williams relatives. She even has a picture featuring five generation from her aunts, Ruth and Lucile, both Johnsons, to her oldest grandson, Brandon, then just a newborn. Doris’ goal is to use the generational pictures as a means to pass the story of their past to present and then future generations. “It’s wonderful to have pictures of some family members when they are children and then later as adults. Also, so many included the names of ancestors in naming their children,” said Gloria. “I have scanned over 1400 family photos and documents.” The Johnson family history also took several somewhat unique turns. Sally Johnson married James Johnson Sr. so literally became Sally Johnson Johnson. Another twist was that Doris’ mother Virginia Isabella Johnson and Virginia’s sister Dorothy Johnson married Ellis brothers. Doris remembered both couples raising their families while living in Richmond. The Home Place But the heart of family memories for Gloria and Doris were generated by weekends, summers and holidays at Johnson’s Grove where Gloria was raised and now lives in her parents’ renovated home after she and her husband Johnny retired from their 40-plus year careers in Michigan. Doris, her brother and cousin visited the home place while spending summers with her grandparents, Carrie and Alexander Ellis Sr. Doris and Leon returned to the family property in Trevilians after careers in Maryland that also spanned over four decades. “We were everybody’s children. Johnson family - aunts, uncles, adult children and their families - gathered on weekends and holidays. Community friends dropped by often,” said Gloria. “It was a place of warmth, activity and laughter. We learned our traditions of love of God, as well as honor and respect for family from these peo- Gloria Johnson Gilmore and Doris Ellis Williams sit in front of Williams’ Roots Wall that has photographs ple who devoted so much time to and with us.” of eight generations of Johnsons, Ellises and Williams.

Rengers is a former corporate headhunter who has worked most recently with social service programs in Louisa County. Her newest project has been to set up the Louisa Reentry Council Program that will help prisoners who have served their time reenter the community and become productive citizens. And she is known for her cheerful persistence to make things work. This means that the LRC reaches former inmates, who are returning to Louisa County, to help them find medical assistance, food, clothing, gas money to ride to appointments, such as with probation officers, and ultimately to get a job, even though it has been hard to get funding for the program. “It’s not coddling,” Rengers was quick to say. “They have paid their dues.” When they become contributing citizens, they can be role models for their children and families. And the bottom line, she stressed, is that the cost to taxpayers is reduced when former inmates do not return to jail or prison. Rengers said that in 2005 the National Governors Association tried to identify how costs could be lowered in the criminal justice system. Virginia was one of seven states that became involved, and several larger cities, such as Richmond and Culpeper were part of a pilot program. By 2010, all localities were “strongly urged” to set up a reentry program, but there was no funding. Local and regional jails, such as the Central Virginia Regional Jail in Orange (serving Louisa and other counties) receive local taxpayer money. The current cost is $54 per day per inmate. So, Louisa is paying for inmates sentenced to up to two years in jail, plus people that are incarcerated while awaiting trial. At the local level, inmates may be jailed for nonpayment of child support, drug possession and distribution, petty and grand theft, assault and battery as well as other crimes. Once they have served their time, they usually return to their community (staying with relatives or friends), but most have lost their driver’s licenses, their jobs, and their family support system while jailed. If convicted of a drug distribution felony, released inmates are no longer eligible for food stamps. That’s where the reentry program comes in. Rengers and the active LRC of more than 40 members, from individuals to agency representatives, and elected officials, have developed the Reentry Triage Intake that is tailored to the rural Louisa County community. Three or four members of the triage team meet twice a month with individual participants to assess needs and services. The idea is to offer encouragement to “reset their moral compass” to keep them from turning to crime again and reentering the criminal justice system. Most inmates need help to do this. Before the program began, released inmates would have to travel to Charlottesville weekly or monthly to check-in with their probation officers. Janice Allen, director of the Louisa County’s Department of Human Services, arranged for the officers to come to Louisa one day a week, and the triage intake team program gas cards are provided to help make it possible for former prisoners to get to town. Counseling is available, but not mandated by the LRC. Rengers said that when the triage intake program first began, “there was a silence.” No calls from anyone wanting help. But that did not deter her. She turned to Goshen Baptist Association and other members of the faith-based community to spread the word among their members and reach those families with someone who had been released. She gave a presentation and submitted a request to the county board of supervisors, county administrator and received enthusiastic support, as well as a small amount of funding that may be renewed once she demonstrates the programs numbers and success. Initially she wanted to set up a mentoring program through which trained mentors would work with inmates several months before their release, then stick with them while they adjusted to a return to the community and a new job. The funding and structure haven’t been available for that yet, but Rengers is undeterred. Rengers works closely with her “active and dedicated” LRC members, including Janice Allen, and Jennifer Carroll, program support assistant. Since the program began a year ago, there have been about 50 calls, and 29 people have become involved by undergoing intake with the triage program. Ten released inmates have found employment with the council’s assistance. Families are welcome to become a part of the reentry process. Rengers said, “It’s important for these individuals to know that the community has their back and wants them to succeed.” Rengers and others have been trying to get the word about through churches, resource fairs, the sheriff’s departments, probation officers, and by placing posters and brochures about the program where ever she can. Allen said that the program also tries to link participants with other community services, such as mental health or literacy. “They want a job. They want to work and contribute,” Rengers said of those they try to help.

Ira Wallace is a longtime member of the community. All photos by Linda Salisbury. Darla Eaton is dwarfed by corn grown for grinding. 12 • LOUISA LIFE • October 2–October 29, 2015 N estled in rural Louisa County, the 20-year-old Acorn Farm community operates a major business: Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. Until recently, its members tended, stored, sorted and packed the 700 varieties of seeds by hand, seeds richly named Pungo Creek Butcher, Big Red Ripper, Ali Baba or Dr. Wyche's Yellow. But in the last year, the “Hal,” an $80,000 seed-sorting robot became a member of the community, but not without some controversy. The 72-acre farm on Indian Springs Road just off Rt. 522 south of Mineral, spun off from another cooperative community, Twin Oaks, in 1982. Its 30 or so adults and four children live in an “egalitarian, income-sharing community,” where it's seed business is impressive, but also the ability of its members to find satisfaction in both individual and group pursuits. Beyond the main office, storage areas, and housing live 17 goats, a cow and pigs in a bucolic setting. But the main business is seeds for organic vegetables, flowers, plus onion and garlic. Test fields were filled with giant stalks of corn grown for grinding into meal, as well as other organic crops. Community members also grow onion and garlic with names like Egyptian Walking Onions and Perennial Leeks, or Turban Garlic. The colorful catalog contains stories about certain plants plus gardening information. Seeds and crops are not limited to vegetables. The community also deals with flowers, cotton, herbs, potatoes and some members are growing mushrooms. Acorn, through its Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, purchases the hundreds of varieties of organically produced heirloom seeds and tests samples of them in their gardens to make sure that they perform as promised. The seeds come from a vari- Darla Eaton in the room in the main building where packed seeds await shipping. ety of small farms, and are sold mostly in the Mid-Atlantic, but also as far north as Canada. Most buyers use them in small garden plots and the popularity of the seeds is evidenced by the crowds that show up at various events where Southern Exposure offers tastings, such as an August unadvertised event that drew a hundreds of people to the farm, where garden tours were also offered. Many customers come from the Louisa area, with Southern States selling some varieties in its store. But seeds are sold in retail outlets around the country, and a list by state is available on the company’s Web site. The largest building on the property is a $500,000 office/work complex designed Jason Loyd operates sorting robot, “Hal.” to be energy efficient but also to house seed storage, mailing, seed sorting and packing of special often rare varieties by hand, which is where someone like Acorn member Moonraven comes in. He carefully measures and weighs the rare seeds rather than trust them to “Hal.” Southern Exposure is preserving rare varieties some that are two hundred years old and has a special climatecontrolled room for their storage.

New community member Curt Heavey, a professional musician, plays his guitar during the tasting event. 14 • LOUISA LIFE • October 2–October 29, 2015 When orders arrive by fax, through the Internet or by phone, the artistically designed packets are arranged for filling, then shipping. That's where the controversial “Hal” comes in. Darla Eaton, a fiveyear member of Acorn, who has worked on the design and construction of buildings, among other projects, said having a robot replace human labor has been a controversial decision. One aspect was that the members of the community have limited private space, sharing living areas with all members. But Hal needed his own room, and got it in the climate-controlled bulk Irena Hollowell. storage area that houses shelves of bulk seeds for packaging. There Hal has his own glass-enclosed room where 10 community members take turns calibrating seeds for size and weight as each kind is packaged. In a blink, Hal puffs a packet open, adds the correct amount of seeds for that variety, then seals the envelope. The packets are then checked by weight by someone, such as Jason Loyd. As Hal has now replaced the drudgery of the hand-packing process, one benefit has been to free up Acorn members to spend time on other interests and activities. The community has grown in the past decade years, as has the business. The first catalog carried only 65 varieties of seeds. Now there are hundreds of options in the catalog and Southern Exposure now fills thousands of orders a year, said Eaton. Ira Wallace is one of Acorn’s founders. She had been living at Twin Oaks when the waiting list had grown to two years. She and others founded Acorn, with support of Twin Oaks. Although both offer community living, Acorn founders “wanted to do a more farmy thing,” Wallace said. Members of Acorn are involved with about 70 events each year, offering tastings at festivals, such as Monticello Heritage Harvest Festival, schools, libraries and other locations. They are also active in making donations to and assisting with the Louisa County food bank. With space limited, and residents staying longer (five years or more) than ever, potential residents must go through an application process to make sure they are a good fit for communal living. Some join because they are intensely interested in seeds and organic food production. Others, such as Irena Howell, a six-year-member, had lived overseas, wanted to work with seeds, but also to “live more lightly on earth,” and with people who shared her values. Eaton added that another “intentional community” is opening in Richmond this fall. Called Quercus, Latin for oak, the new group will have fewer individual possessions, such as cars, and will focus on social justice and eco-conservation. Members of Acorn are likely to be closely involved in Quercus. In the fall, Southern Exposure is gearing up for its busiest time of year when seeds arrive from the 50 growers and the packing begins to be ready for next year's crops. Hal may not be the most popular guy on the farm, but he does his share to make sure that Winter Luxury Pie, Fife Creek Cow Horn, or Love Lies Bleeding Amaranth make gardeners happy, and community members can enjoy other pursuits.
