hen Robert Layman retired as police chief ofScottville in May, after fifteen years of serv-ice to the community, the call went out for aqualified applicant to fill the position.Although there were several applications

received, the town did not have to look very far to findLayman’s replacement.

Jeffrey Vohwinkle is a native of Buffalo, New York. As ayoung man he worked in construction. He also served as avolunteer firefighter, working at that (volunteer) job for fortyhours a week or more. Answering the call to serve his coun-try, he enlisted in the United States Army.

Some people seem to have a gene in their makeup whichcauses them to have the desire to serve their fellow man. It’sfairly evident that Vohwinkle possesses that gene.

In 1990 “Jeff” became a member of the CharlottesvillePolice Department. In ’92 he moved over to the AlbemarleCounty Police Department. From 1995 until 1997 he servedas a reserve deputy with the Albemarle County Sheriff’sDepartment. It was in 1997, when an opening in that depart-ment came about due to a recent retirement, Vohwinklebecame a full time Albemarle deputy sheriff.

Vohwinkle’s retirement from Albemarle in 2016 did not

mean the end of a law enforcement career. Jeff had knownformer Chief Layman for some time, actually by having fol-lowed Layman when Layman left to become Scottsville’schief. Layman was instrumental in getting Scottsville to hireVohwinkle as a part-time officer. In 2017 Vohwinkle becamea member of the Scottsville Police Department.

So, when Layman announced his intention to retire, andthe search began to find a new chief, Jeff submitted his appli-cation, just like several other law enforcement professionalsdid. Having outstanding credentials and a working knowl-edge of the town, he was selected to fill the position.

Vohwinkle’s thoughts on policing make a lot of sense. Hebrings experience and maturity to the job. “People need torealize,” he said, “that the community is somewhat responsi-ble for keeping its peace.” He believes that “we all have con-stitutional rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,”but those goals “need to be pursued peacefully, and that peo-ple need to rely on one another…The challenge,” he said, “(is)seeing that people do the right thing when they may not wantto.”

Vohwinkle and his wife make their home in Nelson Countyand have three grown children. Chief Vohwinkle’s advice,“pay attention to signs, obey the laws, and there won’t be anyproblems.”

July 1st marked the beginning of theScottsville’s 2018 – 2019 fiscal year.With Mayor Nancy Gill starting her sec-ond term, new council members StuartMunson and Eddie Payne joined incum-bents Dan Gritsko, Josh Peck, LauraMellusi and Zack Bullock. “We plan tocontinue to move Scottsville in the pos-itive direction it has been going over thepast two years,” Mayor Gill said. Paynereplaces Randy Nolte as chairman ofthe Public Safety Committee andMunson will assist with EconomicDevelopment. Nolte is now a memberof the Planning Commission.

The Planning Commission held apublic hearing on June 18th to receivecomments from the public regardingthe town’s Comprehensive Plan. ThePlan is updated and edited every fiveyears and the Planning Commissionhas been pursuing this project for mostof the past year. Several residentsspoke. The Commission took thosecomments under advisement and attheir July meeting made final edits tothe plan and voted to send the docu-ment on to Council for their action.Council can either accept the plan orsend it back for further additions ordeletions.

The Planning Commission alsovoted to have the Timmons Group, andengineering firm, study and prepare aBike and Pedestrian Safety Program(BPSP) application for the town. TheBPSP is a source of funds to addressseveral issues related to intersections,sidewalks, and transportation improve-ments for the town as well as the gen-eral safety of pedestrians and bicyclists.

The town has utilized the VHDAgrant that was reported on last monthto acquire the services of ArnettMuldrow & Associates, Ltd. to conduct ahousing study that will also includeaspects of business development,

tourism and improvements to resi-dent’s quality of life. A zip code surveyhas been initiated by local businesses todetermine where customers travel fromto shop in Scottsville. There is also anon line survey available for a limitedt i m e ,https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/scottsvilleMUMI. Residents also have thetown’s Facebook site and Twitter wherethey may make comments and theTown Administrator, Matt Lawless, isavailable by phone.

Farmers Market Manager DebbieSmith reports the market doing well.“Crops are coming in and lots of freshproduce is now available,” she said. Shealso added that several events are in the

planning stages that involve theFarmers Market Pavilion.

The annual Bateau Festival was asuccess thanks to Arts and Culturechairman Laura Mellusi. “The weathercooperated,” she said, “and we had agood variety of vendors as well as activ-ities for the kids and music.”

The 105th edition of the annualFourth of July Parade took place undersunny skies with a hundred units and alarge number of spectators lining ValleyStreet and East Main. Tim Karr againdid a great job with his crew of volun-teers to keep this tradition alive. Theevening’s fireworks display was one ofthe best in recent history and the crowdthat watched was very large and,

according to law enforcement, wellbehaved.

At the July 9th Work Session, townadministrator Matt Lawless reportedthat the fiscal year that ended June 30thshowed a surplus. And it wasannounced that both work sessions andcouncil meetings will now be broadcastlive on Nelson Cable channel 3.

June has been a busy month for thetown. There are new faces on Counciland in the office. Stop by sometimeand introduce yourself. Learn moreabout those who serve you by talkingwith them, then if you should have aquestion or problem, they know whomthey are helping and you know who’shelping you!

My Scottsville ChildhoodBy Millie Bryan

Special Contributor

count myself fortunate indeedto have had a Scottsville child-hood. Especially one in the1940s and early ‘50s whenmany of the pleasant ways of

an earlier Scottsville still lingered. When I arrived in town as a week-old baby

in August, 1942, Scottsville, like the rest of thecountry, and most of the world, was at war. Asit had in previous wars, Scottsville did its part.By late summer, most young men were insome branch of the armed services. Fromtime to time, troop trains sped past the littlegray depot down by the river, cars packedwith uniformed men on the first part of a jour-ney that would eventually take them to battle-fields in Europe and the Pacific.

On the home front, rationing was in full force. Myvery first memory of the war is of rationing books,filled with tiny stamps, printed in brown ink on tanpaper, allowing the bearer to buy specified quantitiesof meat, sugar, coffee, and other foods. As I was writ-ing this, I happened upon a photograph of a World WarII ration book. It looked exactly as I had rememberedit.

Certain materials were unobtainable. The lastChristmas of the war, I asked Santa for a tricycle. Myfather explained that tricycles were made of metal andrubber that were needed to make ships, planes, andother things for the war and I would have to wait untilafter the war was over to get my tricycle. After the war,I got it, a red one with black rubber grips on the han-dlebars, and I pedaled happily up and down the tree-lined street that ran past the apartments over what wasthen Bruce’s Drugstore. We lived in the little apartmenton the far left as you look toward Valley Street.

The locust trees that bordered the sidewalk are gonenow. The yard, the grass greener and thicker, is nowDorrier Park. Bruce’s Drugstore is now the RiverbendDay Spa. But our old apartment is still there.

During the early years of the war, my father, Robert Bryan,was the editor of The Scottsville News. How well I rememberhis pale, drawn face when he came home at lunchtime fromthe newspaper one day to tell my mother that a Scottsville boyhad been killed in the war. Always a close-knit community,Scottsville was even more so during the war. When a son ofScottsville died, the entire town mourned.

Sometime to my great delight, my father took me to thenewspaper office with him. The Scottsville News was housedin the nineteenth-century tavern that still stands at the end ofEast Main Street. Now an apartment house, it still looks muchas it did more than seventy years ago when I first stepped intothe big front room with its antique (even then) printing pressand type cases full of lead type.

At a very early age, I learned to use the telephone to call myfather at work. Remembering the number was easy. Scottsvillephone numbers in those days were two digits. You told theoperator the number and she connected you.

Perhaps it was because my father was a newspaperman,that some of my most distinct memories of my childhood haveto do with some form of communication. I can still see myfather, my mother and I clustered around our table-top cathe-dral radio listening to the latest news of the war.

Invariable, my father would say to me, as he clicked onthe radio, “Listen to this. Someday you will want to rememberit.” Proud to be included in such grown-up activity, I pushedmy little red rocking chair in front of the radio and sat downto listen to reports of far away battles and horrors I only part-ly understood.

When I began thinking about writing this memoir, I askedmy mother if she remembered when the three of us used tolisten to the radio during the second world war. Ninety-fourand nearly blind, she looked vacantly off into the distance. Iwasn’t sure she had heard me or if she had, would be able torespond. Her answer, after a few seconds, was succinct andstarkly eloquent…

“This is London, “she intoned, for a moment, and wassilent again. Then she said, “Mr. Murrow.”

My mother had just recited the signature opening line ofthe broadcasts of Edward R. Murrow, for many American, thevoice of Britain during World War II.

After new owners took over the production of TheScottsville News, my father opened a print shop in an old

Millie’s brown oxfords to wear with girl scouteniform were purchased from C. R. Dorrier’s dry

good store. The building today is The Tavern on the James.

white frame building, just off East MainStreet, near the train depot. I believethe building is still there.

In his print shop, my father print-ed handbills, letterhead, church bul-letins, and other small jobs. Like allprinters, he bought quantities of largesheets of paper, then cut them to sizeon a powerful paper cutter. As the knifesliced through the paper, it discharged acascade of paper that was mine to useas I pleased.

My endless supply of paper was theenvy of all my friends. In my childhood,the material we used for arts and crafts(We didn’t call it that then.) were basicat best. Beyond what paper we couldscavenge, we had coloring books,crayons, tins of watercolor paints, andrubber-capped bottles of mucilagebought at Mathias’s Dimestore onValley Street. With these simple materi-als we were expected to entertain our-selves. Children complaining of bore-dom were told by exasperated adults,“Color a picture.” Or “Make some-thing.”

One of the greatest pleasures of mychildhood was the occasional train tripto Richmond when my father wentthere to buy paper for his print shop.The train to Richmond still stopped inScottsville then.

After my father bought our tickets,we waited inside the station for thetrain to arrive. Soon we heard a faintrumbling as the train rounded theHorseshoe Bend. Vibrations rippledthrough the station. I ran out onto theplatform to watch the train come to a

stop, stream swirling, air brakes hissing. The conductor took our tickets and helped my mother and me aboard. Railroad

employees, so courteous and friendly made travel by train an enjoyable adventure. We quickly got settled in our seats and the train began to move. Soon we were

rolling down the tracks alongside the James River, tracks that had been build on thetowpath of the historic Kanawha Canal.

Once we were under way, I indulged in my favorite on-train pastime. Fascinatedby the water fountain built into the front end of the car, I took one of the cone-shaped paper cups provided and helped myself to a drink of water. During our one-hour train ride, I must have made at least five visits to the water fountain.

When we arrived in Richmond, the engineer began expertly backing the trainover a narrow trestle that spanned the James River. I stood at the window, staringdown at the muddy water. The least bit off track and the train would topple into theriver. I was always greatly relieved when the train pulled safely into the old BroadStreet Station.

After the war, the wave of prosperity that swept over most of the country, trick-led into Scottsville. Several new businesses came to town. Life moved at a slightlyfaster pace, but Scottsville was still that unique little town on the James River that ithad always been.

One of the biggest events of the post-war period for me was the birth of my sis-ter, Nancy, in December, 1946. While my mother was in the Martha JeffersonHospital, I stayed with my grandmother in Charlottesville. When my mother andnewborn sister were discharged from the hospital I rode back to Scottsville withthem, sitting on the jump seat of a Thacker Brothers ambulance.

Shortly before or shortly after the birth of my sister, as I recall, two ladies, MissLucy Powers and Miss Kate Stith, who had retired from teaching at St. Catherine’sSchool in Richmond, opened a nursery school that became, during its brief exis-tence, one of Scottsville’s most beloved institutions.

Although I can’t remember the exact date I enrolled, I do have one distinct mem-ory of my first day at nursery school. Miss Lucy and Miss Kate, as they were affec-tionately known, made absolutely clear what the mission of their school was. “Youare here to learn how to become little ladies and gentlemen”, they told us.

Miss Lucy and Miss Kate knew all there was to know about good manners andgood behavior. They taught us well. Little girls learned to curtsy. Little boys learnedhow to bow. If we had been presented to the then-reigning King George VI andQueen Elizabeth, parents of the present Queen Elizabeth, we would have knownexactly what to do.

Sometimes, Miss Kate and Miss Lucy used little rhymes to instruct us in correctbehavior. Whenever one of us acted smart-alecky, they would recite this rhyme:

Smarty, smarty,Had a little partyNobody cameExcept the other little smarties.

I must confess this rhyme was sometimes recited for my benefit.

We spent much of our nine-to-noon school day playing traditional games thatincluded the singing of nursery songs based on centuries-old Mother Goose rhymes,games that Miss Lucy and Miss Kate must have played in their Victorian childhood.

One of our favorites was Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush. Whenever Ithink back to those days, I always see us dressed in our playsuits, pinafores, andbishop’s dresses, holding hands circling round, singing this refrain

Here we go round themulberry bush,The mulberry bush,

the mulberry bush, Here we go round

the mulberry bush, So early in the

morning.

Then we sang verses about everyday household chores. “This is the way we washour clothes…iron our clothes…mend our clothes…so early in the morning.” As wesang we pantomimed the activity referred to in the verse.

As to location, we were a floating nursery school. Usually we met at theMethodist church down the hill from Miss Lucy and Miss Kate’s house, occasionally,at the Baptist church on Harrison Street, and once in a while at Miss Lucy and MissKate’s house. In the summer, we met at the primary school on Bird Street, now thesite of the Scottsville Library.

I celebrated my birthday at our summer quarters, with a party in the schoolyard.My father ordered my cake from Gleason’s Bakery in Charlottesville. We didn’t have

a car then so he went over on the bus to pick up my cake and brought it back onthe return trip. In those days, there was bus service to Charlottesville and back everyday.

Gleason’s made the most beautiful birthday cakes, covered with pink or redroses, the top and bottom encircled by ruffled garlands of creamy white frosting.The cake itself was an especially delicious pound cake.

With the cake, we had homemade, hand-churned, fresh peach ice cream. Myfather was very particular about the peaches that went into the ice cream. After hebought what he considered the best peaches, he bought a large block of ice andchipped it with an ice pick into little pieces.

He packed the ice and salt around the cream-filled canister in the wooden freez-er bucket, fitted the crank on, and turned it until the ice cream reached the desiredegree of firmness. Then he drained the freezer of melted ice and repacked it withice and salt.

No ice cream ever tasted so good or so cold. In due course, I left Miss Lucy and Miss Kate’s nursery school and enrolled in

first grade at the two-room, white frame primary school. Our school day was a long one. It started around nine o’clock and lasted until

three o’clock or three thirty. There were forty-five children in our class. Despite our numbers, generally, we

were a well-behaved, orderly group. We ate lunch, brought from home in metal lunchboxes or brown paper bags, at

our desks. At lunchtime, the room smelled of vegetable soup and peanut butter.Little bottles of milk, plain or chocolate, probably from Dr. Stinson’s Valmont Dairy,were for sale near the teacher’s desk.

Our classroom was heated by an old, cast-iron, pot-bellied stove. I rememberthat stove in great detail because of a most regrettable incident.

A little girl, in our class had brought a jig-saw puzzle to school. From the carefulway she carried the box , I could see it was a highly-valued possession.

She never opened the box in class. The puzzle was at no time a distraction toher or any other child. The little girl, a shy quiet child, applied herself to herassigned work.

The teacher, spying the box, hurried over, snatched it up, opened the little irondoor in the stove and threw the puzzle into the blazing fire.

Unfortunately, at our school at that time, the first grade teacher accompanied herclass to second grade. This particular teacher, not a career teacher, taught inScottsville, I believe, only two years. At recess, I could observe the other primaryteacher, Mrs. Caldwell, with her class. I would have much preferred her as myteacher. Mrs. Caldwell, an excellent teacher, was greatly loved by everyone inScottsville.

After primary school, we moved down the street to the combined elementaryand high school, now the Scottsville Schoolhouse Apartments. At the big school, wefollowed the old custom of leaving the building at the end of the school day to amusical accompaniment.

A teacher, Miss Tindall, played us out of school every afternoon pounding outmilitary anthems, Sousa marches, and other lively tunes, on an old upright piano inthe auditorium.

We stepped smartly along in time to the music right through the front door. Nostraggling, no horseplay. No disorder of any kind.

Our third grade classroom was in the basement. Through large windows, wecould see the schoolyard stretching down to the river.

What I remember most about that year is watching the overflowing James Rivercreep up into the schoolyard. If the flood waters reached a certain tree, known offi-cially as The Big Tree, school would be dismissed. Once the water came to withinfive or six feet of the tree. School went on as usual.

Another vivid memory I have of the third grade is of dancing the minuet. Whyand how we learned to do this, I don’t know. Perhaps it was n activity to keep usoccupied when we couldn’t go outside for recess. It may have been a sort of histo-

Downtown Scottsville today.

Childhood from page 6

ry lesson. The minuet was danced at theRoyal Governor’s Ball in Williamsburg whenVirginia was a British colony.

I have no memory at all of receivingany instruction. All I remember is Mrs.Phillips, our teacher putting a record on theancient Victrola, winding it up, and morethan forty third-graders pairing off anddancing the minuet. I still remember someof the steps.

A very pleasant moment occurred inthird grade when Leslie Walton, then assis-tant school superintendent, visited our classand spoke directly to me. He and Mrs.Walton had been neighbors of ours a year ortwo earlier and he had remembered me.Such a kind man, he fully deserved thehonor of having an Albemarle Countyschool named for him.

I think it was when I was in third gradethat I gave a Halloween party that stilllingers in the memory of someone who wasa guest at the party. When I told this life-longScottsville friend that I was writing a mem-oir, she urged me to, “Write about theHalloween party. We had such fun at thatparty.”

About two weeks before Halloween, Imailed out invitations to six or eight chil-dren. Then I planned what I would serve asrefreshments. Probably, I served hot dogs,potato chips, and Cokes. I think doughnutsmay have been on the menu. And maybepopcorn.

Just before Halloween, two of my oldercousins had sent a box of their cast-offevening finery for me to use in playing dress-up. In the box I discovered a black din-ner dress and a pair of black suede high heels that would make an excellent witch’scostume. I added a black cardboard witch’s hat and black half-mask from the dime-store.

My father bought a large, dark orange pumpkin, and, with his help, I carved itinto a presentable jack o’lantern.

On the night of the party-we had moved by then-when I opened the door toadmit my costumed guests, I could see the old tombstones in the graveyard of theBaptist church across the street. Perhaps the convivial spirits of long-ago Scottsvilleresidents would glide across Harrison Street to join my party. Halloween had a pow-erful, eerie magic for children in those days. It was easy to believe that ghosts andother supernatural beings were abroad in the darkness.

The flickering jack o’lantern was waiting in the kitchen where our refreshmentswere laid out. We ate at the kitchen table. Dark window glass reflected the light ofthe oil lamp I had placed in the center of the table.

After we had our refreshments, we went down the hall to the living room to playgames. The absolute favorite activity of the entire evening was bobbing for apples.

In the middle of the living room, we had set out a large corrugated metal wash-tub filled with water. About two dozen red apples floated on the surface of the water.We knelt down around the washtub, our hands behind our backs, and tried to biteinto an apple and hold onto it with our teeth. No hands allowed. Whoever capturedthe most apples won a prize.

What a simple party that was. But what a great time we had. What I remember most about the fourth grade is that was the year I played the

lead in the class play. It was tradition in Scottsville at that time, that at the end ofthe school year each class gave a play or performance of some kind.

Our teacher, Mrs. Tapscott, a sweet, motherly woman we all loved, chose a playthat had a part, however small, for each child.

She handed out copies of the play to the class. I took my script home, and spentevery evening, with a break for supper, studying my part. I practiced saying my linesin front of the mirror on the dresser in my room. To be sure that I didn’t miss a cue,I memorized almost the entire play.

On the night of our performance, the auditorium, as usual, was packed.Scottsville supported its school in all its endeavors.

Our principal, Mr. Gillis, was in the audience, as he always was, for our perform-ances. A congenial, helpful man, he was liked and respected by everyone.

After all these years, I still remember being on stage and hearing, with greatpride, whispers in the audience, “How did she learn all those lines?”

We so enjoyed those performances. And the audience did too. The year I was ten years old was my last year in Scottsville. My memories of that

year are a bit jumbled. By that time, I was aware that my father was seriously ill. I remember that during the summer or around the beginning of September,

someone organized a Girl Scout troop which I joined. We met at the Episcopalchurch, the white frame church at the foot of the hill on Harrison Street.

I remember my father taking me to C.R. Dorrier’s dry goods store to buy brownoxfords to wear with my Girl Scout uniform. An old-fashioned store, with dark woodcounters and shelves, it was infused with the scent of leather, wool and new cottoncloth. Mr. Dorrier’s store was in the building that is now The Tavern on the James.

Another vivid memory I have of that year is of our teacher, Mrs. Daniel, readingto us. When we had finished our work for the day, she would read a chapter or twofrom a favorite book. We especially liked the Hardy Boys Mystery Series.

Mrs. Daniel and my father were good friends. They shared a similar sense of

humor, and they would laugh and joke together wheneverthey met at a school function, the post office, where Mrs.Daniel’s husband worked, or when they were out on anerrand on Main Street.

Near the end of April, my father went to the hospital forthe last time. He died on April 29, 1953 at the MarthaJefferson Hospital.

My mother, my sister and I were, of course, inCharlottesville at the time. I remember little of the next twodays. I do remember that it was thought best by the adults inmy family that my sister and I not attend the funeral.

Later, I was told about the touching tribute Mrs. Daniel’shad organized for my father. She led her fifth-grade class, myclassmates, right out of school, straight up Harrison Street tothe Baptist church to attend my father’s funeral. How I wish Ihad been there to see that.

Several days after the funeral, my sister and I arrived backat our house. The funeral wreath was still on the door.

As we were settling back into our familiar surroundings,we realized that, after nearly a week of not being at all inter-ested in food, we were hungry.

When I opened the refrigerator, I saw what was left of thehome cooked food our neighbors, and friends had brought toour house to sustain the family and guests during the dayssurrounding the funeral.

This most comforting custom is sadly disappearing. Iremember how reviving that food was to my sister and me. Ialso knew that with the food came sincere sympathy and gen-uine concern for my mother, my sister, and me.

A day or two after I returned home from Charlottesville, Iwent back to school and finished the spring term.

My mother was now a thirty-four-year-old widow, withtwo children to raise alone. Employment opportunities inScottsville did not look promising. My mother reluctantlydecided to move to Charlottesville where more jobs wereavailable. Her mother, a sister and a brother lived there,

another advantage. In August, I turned eleven. Shortly, after my birthday, the moving van was

parked in front of our house. Eventually, all our possessions were stowed away. Mylast memory of that day is hearing the door of the moving van slammed shut.

My Scottsville childhood was over. But the memories of those long-ago days arewith me still.

Mrs. Bryan, Millie’s mother.
