S
mall Business Saturday is a term
dreamed up as part of a campaign to
encourage people to shop locally. The idea, conceived by American Express, came about in 2010
and has gained momentum since. Millions of
Americans have made a ritual of patronizing the
shops, restaurants, and boutiques that make up their
communities on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
The idea of connecting local customers to local
business has really taken hold in communities like
Orange. One business that truly embodies the spirit
of community and local networking is Orange
County Coffee Roasters.
Founders Deb and Al Welker started the business
in 2000 as a way to bring quality, ecologically friendly and affordable coffee to the area. The company
has moved twice before moving to its current location at the corner of Berry Hill and Monrovia Roads
in Orange.
Orange County Coffee Roasters has a roasting
plant and roasts onsite where coffee is packaged. All
production is done in small batches in-house. Beans
come from more than 13 different countries around
the world, and the majority are organically produced.
Orange County Coffee Roasters has always made an
effort to buy beans that are "responsibly grown" (no
pesticides, herbicides, or chemicals, and friendly to
the environment) and "fairly traded" (growers and
harvesters doing the work are paid a fair wage).
Whenever possible, the business buys directly from
plantation owners or co-ops, helping the growers
and their local communities.
Orange County Coffee Roasters is a local business
in most every way. Current owners, John and
Rhonda Jenkins have had the business for the past
seven months. They bought the thirteen year old

Montpelier is ready for the Christmas Candlelight tours. Photo by Strader courtesy of The Montpelier Foundation.
“I think at this time of the year reflections are
bound to occur, in one’s family life, religious
life for some, or the reflections on the past year
and the coming year. One of the reflections the
candlelight tour offers us is the oppornit to
reflect on our own American histor. It is a good
way to put our own life and own sitation into a
different, much broader perspective.”

his Christmas season, James
Madison’s Montpelier will
be filled with all the grace,
charm, and hospitality that Dolley Madison herself
would have shown.
Visitors to the estate will be taken back in time
and the mansion will be filled with 19th centurystyle decorations and lit by only candlelight.
Guests can enjoy guided tours of the candlelit
mansion, which will be filled with Madison-era
decorations. Various performers will help visitors
go back in time for a few hours each evening.
“The mansion is a very different perspective in
candlelight and it is a really special occasion. This
is a good way to learn about the 19th-century
Christmas traditions. The focus wasn’t on gifts
or decorating, but more on being with family and
visiting. It was much simpler. Friends and family
would come and stay for weeks at a time,” shares
Christy Moriarty, Tourism Coordinator for James
Madison’s Montpelier.
“We have colonial dancers, we have an acapella
group singing. We will have music in the mansion:
harp music one weekend and classical guitar one
weekend,” continues Moriarty.
“The mansion will be decorated in a way that
is accurate for the 19th century. The candles
make it very authentic, very warm,” says Caroline
Godfrey, Communications Associate for James
Madison’s Montpelier. “You can really get a sense
of the mansion being a really busy home in their
retirement years. Their home was always open to
guests.”
First Lady Dolley Madison, portrayed by Lynn
Uzzel, will be there to greet guests each evening.
President James Madison, portrayed by John
Douglas Hall, will join her on the second weekend.
Caroline Godfrey, speaking of Uzzel and Hall,
says, “Both James Madison and Dolley are very
knowledgeable about the political accomplishments
and influence that each had on American culture
and politics, but also on the style and sense of
humor and personal stories. They really research
these characters so they are very fun to talk to and
quite funny. They are not always at Montpelier so
this is a special opportunity to talk with them.”
“Dolley was the most charming lady of her day.
Her purpose was to make everyone feel better
after they left her. That has become my raison
d’etre [reason for existence],” explains Dr. Uzzel.
“Everyone who comes to the Candlelight Christmas is looking to enjoy themselves,
so all they need is just a little encouragement. They go away having a great time.”
Dr. Lynn Uzzel is James Madison’s Montpelier’s Scholar in Residence. During
Christmas and other events, Dr. Uzzel brings history to life through her portrayal of
America’s first First Lady, Dolley Madison.
“My own specialty is the debates of the Constitution. The reason I thought about
playing Dolley Madison is that we have the same expertise,” shares Dr. Uzzel.
The BBQ Exchange in Gordonsville will be serving light refreshments that are
included in the ticket price. There will also be wine and beer available for guests, at
an additional cost.
Ambition Ale, by Devil’s Backbone Brewery, will be presented at the Candlelight
Christmas.
“The ale is part of series that Devil’s Backbone and Montpelier collaborated on
called Montpelier’s Best. This is the inaugural beer,” explains Godfrey.
The Candlelight Christmas event will also have new activities this year that are
specifically geared toward children.
Kathy Del Rosso, Director of Events and Hospitality for the estate, shares some of
the new features at this year’s event.
“We have added more kid-friendly activities like the kids’ craft table where children
can frost Christmas cookies and decorate pinecones”
There will also be a visit from Santa Claus this year, tying modern Christmas
traditions with the historical ones.
“The children are delightful. They know that this is a special occasion and therefore
they just respond to the whole event with enthusiasm,” says Dr. Uzzel.
Experiencing the rich history of the Montpelier Estate with the magical effects
of candlelight and period decorations, music, and even President and First Lady
Madison is a unique and beautiful opportunity for local residents and their guests this
Christmas.
“We really think that with the holidays and visiting families and visiting relatives,
this is really an opportunity for residents of Orange and nearby counties to share the

business from founders, Deb and Al
Welker.
Rhonda Jenkins says that she
and John had often talked about
having a small business. “We found
out from a mutual friend that the
business might be for sale. It seemed
to be the perfect fit for us. It was a
small company, locally owned with
established customers.” “Besides
that, fifty two percent of the population drinks coffee!” chuckles
Jenkins.
It truly is a “mom and pop” business. Husband John does most of
the roasting while Rhonda manages
customer relations, office work and
all of the purchasing. Rhonda’s
mother comes in to help with
answering the phone and walk in
customers two days a week. The
Jenkins roast on demand each
week. Most of their product is distributed through other local retailers.
Rhonda says that they do have some
retail customers but she “doesn’t
really want to compete with the
other local business that sell their
coffee. Marshall Farms Corner,
Liberty Mills Farm and Croftburn
Farms all offer Orange County
Coffee Roasters coffee as do two
Orange restaurants, Elmwood at
Sparks and The Lightwell.

Community groups sell Orange
Mountain blend
County Coffee Roasters coffee as a
fundraiser. “It gives (groups) an
opportunity to sell something different than popcorn or candles. Most people even if they
don’t drink coffee know someone that does.
Orange County Coffee Roasters motto is “Changing
the world one cup at a time”. The Jenkins are certainly
living the idea making Orange a better place “one cup at
a time”.

The Market at Grelen, located in Somerset, is celebrating the season with holiday brunches, tree sales and visits from Santa. In addition, they offer wreath-making classes (which have already filled), local food,
Virginia wine, beer and cider for purchase, and a variety of gifts for the home or
garden.
“The Christmas trees are staked out front and out back with plenty of room to
wander between them. We have fires in our fire pits, you can smell the wood burning. And the shop and greenhouse are decked out for the holiday,” says Emmie
Woody, General Manager of the Market
at Grelen. “It gives that cozy, winter
atmosphere.”
“We have two Holiday Brunches that
will be served in the greenhouse which
is really festive and warm. We have
poinsettias and Norfolk Island pine,
which is a great indoor evergreen house
plant, Christmas cacti and twinkling
lights,” says Woody.
The brunch menu includes frittata,
French toast, apple cider donuts and a
variety of other locally-sourced items.
“We try to source as many ingredients as possible from our own farm.

farm, we source from other Virginia

The Christmas Elf is back
B
ruce Wayne turns into Batman
and Clark Kent’s alter ego is
Superman. Every year about
this time, Orange County has
its own holiday superhero.
Rhodesville’s Wallace Goodman becomes the
Christmas Elf spreading joy and smiles to all
that drive by his residence.
Most Orange County residents know
Wallace Goodman as the outgoing and affable
octogenarian that works at the Porter Road
trash collection center. Always joking and smiling, Goodman is comfortable chatting about
anything from the weather to politics to his
family and his 19 year old Tennessee Walking
Horse.
Most Thursdays and Fridays, the retired carpenter can often be found sweeping up around
the dumpsters, helping sort recyclables or protecting the feral cats that live at the landfill.
This time of year, Goodman’s alter ego
“Christmas Elf” comes out of hiding. For the
past ten years, Goodman has made it a personal mission to set up an extravagant light and
inflatable display in his yard.
Wallace says “The decorations make me
smile because they make others happy. Every

year people pull over and ask if they can take pictures (of the display) with their kids. They ask how
much does it cost? I tell them it’s free …just don’t
drive on the grass. It’s great to see people smile
and be happy.” Goodman says that he has to be
careful when he puts the display up and warn the
local school bus driver. “The driver wasn’t too
happy a couple years ago when I put it up on a
school day. The little kids got so excited they were
jumping out of their seats causing chaos. Now I
warn them when it will be up so the driver can tell
the kids to stay seated. I wouldn’t want anyone to
get hurt.”
Goodman says that he inherited his cheerful
disposition from his mother. “Mama managed a
dress shop in Fredericksburg. People would come
from all around just to visit with her. I guess that
I’m a lot like her. She liked people, liked to see
them smile.”
Goodman plans to keep doing this for as long
as he is able. He says that the display “only costs
about $30 or so per month “for the electricity and
that as long as he is physically able to set it up he
will continue to do so.
For the next few weeks, Rhodesville might just
be the most festive place in Orange County.

minum. It doesn’t tarnish or scratch. Those are all very nice gifts to give for the holidays or for weddings.
Whether household or decorative items, gift baskets of locally-sourced food or
honey, or Virginia wine or beer, the Market at Grelen offers visitors the opportunity to find unique, often locally-sourced gifts for loved ones.
“We are such a beautiful location and it’s off the beaten path,” shares Woody.
Grelen Nursery has been in business as a wholesale nursery for 23 years. The
property adjoins the James Madison’s Montpelier estate and boasts breathtaking
views of the Somerset region and the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Three years ago, owners Dan and Leslie Gregg opened berry fields for pick-yourown berries. Guests regularly commented on the beautiful location and the Greggs
began looking for more ways to invite people to the property.Last year, an old house
on the property was renovated and turned into a garden market and gift shop.
Another was renovated to make room for a commercial kitchen. The gardens and
patio surrounding the shop also serve as a showcase for Grelen’s landscaping. Now
Grelen sells retail and wholesale flowers, plants, and shrubs as well as unique gifts
and light fare from the cafe.
Combining the best of Orange County and Virginia, the Market at Grelen is sure
to bring warmth to your holiday season.
The Market will close for the season after December 21st.

Walker Spokesdog
Obituary
Walker, a long time Rikki’s supporter and Alumni Spokesdog, went
on to the Rainbow Bridge on 3
December 2014.
Walker, perhaps the calmest
Treeing Walker Coonhound/English
Pointer mix in the world, had a battle
with lymphoma that he could not
win.
He has left a legacy of courage
and kindness to all who knew him.
For many years, Walker was a fixture
at Rikki’s Refuge and could be found
at Doggy Downs nearly every
Saturday – to help with a tour, to
cheer up the resident dogs, or just for
a quick cuddlefest. Photo courtesy of
Rikki’s.
