We are........

Happy Thanksgiving!
by Gregory Brown, Vice President FRIENDS Board of Directors

Dear Friends,

During October FRIENDS funded four special events along the Parkway to thank the many volunteers who tirelessly devote their time and energy to help the Blue Ridge Parkway. At these recognition dinners, special awards were presented to volunteers who are nominated by the National Parks Service District Interpretive Supervisors and voted upon by area supervisors.

I attended the Fish Fry at the Folk Art Center in Asheville on October 19, representing FRIENDS, presenting gifts, and thanking everyone for their volunteer efforts. The following district VIP volunteers were recognized as recipients of these awards:

· Martin DeLeggi (Ridge)

· Roger and Linda Smith (Plateau)

· Ralph Nilles (Highlands)

· Master and Colese Edward (Pisgah)

· Carolina Mountain Club (Headquarters)

Special congratulations go to Park VIPs of the Year: Roger and Linda Smith

For the special award winners, FRIENDS provided logo caps, cans of peanuts, "Cleansing Fountain" CDs by Timothy Seaman, and P. Buckley Moss limited edition prints donated by the artist. The Park Service awarded these winners special letters of commendation and lapel pins for exemplary service. All volunteers received certificates of appreciation and FRIENDS volunteer tee-shirts. Presentations were made at four separate recognition dinners sponsored by FRIENDS in the various districts.

The Carolina Mountain Club (CMC) received the Volunteer of the Year award for the Blue Ridge Parkway Headquarters District. CMC President (and a Mountain-to-Sea Trail section maintainer) Lenny Bernstein accepted the award on behalf of the Club. In the recent CMC E-newsletter, he wrote "it really belongs to all trail crew members, section maintainers, and participants in our Saturday Work Days who year-in and year-out maintain our 130 miles of the MST". The plaque will be shown off to members at the Annual Dinner and Meeting and then given to the historian to be kept with the Club’s records. Several individual CMC trail maintainers were also recognized. Sara Davis was honored for 30 years of service, and Jack Mazurowski, Dave Roberts, Skip Sheldon, Dwayne Stutzman, John Van Valen, Don Walton and Tommy Wilson were honored for 10 years of service.

FRIENDS needs your help to continue to recruit and train volunteers to assist the Parkway.  Please consider a Thanksgiving donation today. Your donation can make a significant difference on the Parkway!

More Thanks for Volunteers

FRIENDS new Director of Volunteer Programs, Kathleen Myrman, attended three awards events thanking volunteers and shares her observations below.

I had a wonderful time learning about the many exciting things happening along the parkway. What a great way to spend my first few weeks at FRIENDS! The invitations to each event said "VIP" and I assumed that it was an acronym for the Very Important People who volunteer along the Parkway! Even though I now know that VIP stands for Volunteers In Parks, my original impression remains. After hearing about all of their dedicated work, I know that our volunteers are definitely Very Important People! I had the honor of thanking each person, in person, on behalf of FRIENDS of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The Humpback Rocks VIP Appreciation dinner on Tuesday, October 16, was extra special since it was held at the newly renovated old restaurant at Whetstone Ridge - milepost 29. Volunteers did all of the beautiful, expert renovation work. One could still smell the newness of paint in the office area section of the building. Music for the event was provided before dinner by local artists. The large crowd of dedicated volunteers who arrived to share the feast of home-cooked delights, and some specialties from the farm at Humpback Rocks, overflowed outside to a separate picnic area. Each volunteer, young and old, was recognized for their spectacular work at the Humpback Rocks, receiving a t-shirt from FRIENDS of the BRP and a certificate from the Park Services. There was a special award given to Bunyan Fortune, a master gardener whose volunteer efforts have made the farm at Humpback Rocks a special attraction that visitors long remember. Final festivities of the evening included door prizes with gifts donated by local businesses, as well as goodies from the farm - several dozen fresh eggs, potted plants, bushels of apples and apple butter! 

My next stop along the parkway was at Peaks of Otter Lodge, milepost 85, on October 18th, for another VIP Appreciation dinner. As was the case at Whetstone Ridge, the banquet room was filled to overflowing with inspiring volunteers from Otter Creek Campgrounds, the Johnson Farm, Peaks of Otter Visitor Center, James River Visitor Center and trails and overlooks around and in between. This VIP dinner had a Halloween theme and, like Humpback Rocks, volunteers were entertained by a local bluegrass group as well as a beautiful acappella rendition of Amazing Grace by a young volunteer named Chelsea. Each volunteer was recognized for their special service to the Parkway, and there were a few special recognitions as well. Martin Deleggi was recognized by the Park Service as Volunteer of the Year for the Ridge District. Also recognized for a combined contribution of 1000 volunteer hours were Billie and Jim Bryant who spend most of their time at the Johnson Farm. It was interesting to learn that Jim's family was one of the original owners of this farm before it was donated to the park. 

And finally, on October 21st, I had the pleasure of visiting the Blue Ridge Music Center, a beautiful new facility near Galax, Virginia, at milepost 213, to honor Plateau area volunteers at their VIP Appreciation dinner.Volunteers were greeted by a group of musicians playing in the breezeway of the center. Once the buffet of home-cooked goodies was set, volunteers were invited to fill their plates and enjoy dinner picnic-style in various rooms throughout the basement of the center, as well as outside. After dinner, everyone convened upstairs to the auditorium to hear about the wonderful work of volunteers at the Music Center. We were treated to a poetry reading about the parkway by poet Phyllis Stump. Everyone in the room could relate to the wonderful images spun to life by this master story teller. Finally, recipients of volunteer recognition awards (everyone in the room!) were invited to help themselves to goodies that included t-shirts and caps from FRIENDS of the Blue Ridge Parkway, jars of apple butter and certificates from the National Park Service. Before leaving, I had the opportunity to catch up with Dottie Bramley, volunteer co-ordinator from the Fisher Peak Chapter, to present her with t-shirts, caps, newsletters and brochures for the Notre Dame students who were packed into two vans and heading to the cabin for their week in Appalachia! When I had first arrived at the Music Center, word came that the students were still on the road, "somewhere in West Virginia". Needless to say everyone was quite relieved to know that they had made it to Galax safe and sound. Of course I look forward to hearing more about their week on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Young Volunteers Educate Park Visitors

Saturday, October 20th a fantastic group of Youth Volunteers In Parks presented programs at the Linville Falls Visitor Center. Volunteers between the ages of 10 and 16 educated and entertained over 1000 visitors on topics such as insects, mammals, birds and trees.

The YVIP program was developed to attract younger people as volunteers for the Blue Ridge Parkway. FRIENDS of the Blue Ridge Parkway provided funding support which was used to purchase kits containing books and props covering various subjects. The young volunteers were assigned kits in advance, and they took these home to study about their particular topic - trees, mammals, birds or insects. Prior to their "public performances" the children met with the NPS staff to learn about the National Park Service, Blue Ridge Parkway and public speaking. Finally,the volunteers were ready for their public presentations. For this event, we set up tables and the children decided how to display their materials. As visitors came by, the children talked about their topics and had hands-on activities for the public.

Tina White, Highlands District Interpretive Ranger, said of the project, "The YVIP program will only grow larger in my area. I intend to add these presentations to spice up existing special events, and the YVIPs want to shadow some of the rangers as they rove trails and work in visitor centers next season. There will, of course, be more YVIP programs next season too. Earlier this year, YVIPs made their first debut on the Parkway in Asheville as they did presentations at the Folk Art Center. WLOS-TV featured this on their 'Never Stop Learning' segment, and the anchors introducing the story could not stop talking about how impressed they were with the kids. After Saturday's event, I understand why they were impressed. These kids were fantastic!"

Notre Dame Students Assist Fisher Peak Chapter

Fourteen students from the University of Notre Dame drove 12 hours to assist the Fisher Peak Chapter of Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway with volunteer work during the week of October 21 through 27. The 9 men and 5 women drove from the university in South Bend, Indiana, to Galax, Virginia, on their mid-semester break as part of their Appalachian Studies program. This was the fifth group of students in the last four years who have taken their fall or spring break to do volunteer work on the Parkway with the Fisher Peak Chapter. The students arrived on Sunday evening at the Blue Ridge Music Center, milepost 213, in time for the annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner sponsored by FRIENDS and prepared by National Park Service staff and volunteers.

The group was lodged at Hostel International, one mile south of the Music Center and owned by FRIENDS members Alex and Lois Koji. Using funds provided by the university, Volunteer Coordinator Dottie Bramley stocked the kitchen at the hostel for the students’ breakfasts and lunches. Members and friends of the Fisher Peak Chapter provided potluck dinners for the students each night, socialized, and experienced the enthusiasm and positive attitudes of the students.

Although hampered by torrential rains most of the week, the students were still able to work on replacing broken rails and rotted fence posts along the Parkway. Guided by Fisher Peak members Pete Bramley and Lew Shropshire and maintenance workers from the NPS the students worked whenever the rains slowed to a drizzle. Of the 138 total sections of fencing that border a pasture holding cattle, the students checked and repaired all but 37 sections. They also spent one afternoon on the mountain walking trails at Fisher Peak.

The students performed community service when it was too wet to work on fences by assisting at a local food bank in Galax. They packed about 200 boxes of food and helped load them into the cars of recipients. They also helped with cleaning displays in the food bank.

There was time for recreation and getting to know the community when the students visited the Crossroads Rural Entrepreneurial Institute and were given a tour of the facility by Galax mayor C. W. Mitchell. They were also given a tour and information about the Blue Ridge Music Center by Debbie Robinson from the National Council for the Traditional Arts. They attended a music jam session at Stringbean Coffee House, owned by FRIENDS member Derrick Davis, and were taught square dancing and flatfoot dancing by Ann Boyer. Two students bought fiddles and received their first lesson from musician and FRIENDS member Stu Shenk. On Friday night they attended a live bluegrass music show at the Rex Theater in Galax where they showed off the dance steps they had learned earlier in the week.

These service trips by the students from Notre Dame benefit the Parkway, contributing many hours of volunteer work that is much needed. The students leave with a greater appreciation for the region and its people. Members of Fisher Peak Chapter are enthusiastically looking forward to the next group of students who will spend their school break performing service for this area of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Parkway Sections to Close in November - Roanoke and Asheville Areas Affected

ROANOKE - According to a National Park Service press release, the 6.7 mile section of the Blue Ridge Parkway between US Route 460 east of Roanoke, VA, Milepost 105.8, and VA Route 24, Milepost 112.2, will be intermittently detoured/closed for bridge repairs beginning November 1, 2007 and ending December 16, 2008. These intermittent detour/closures will be in place between 9:30 PM to 5:30 AM and the Parkway user will be made aware of these detour/closures through the local media and signs strategically located on the Parkway and various US and State Routes. The Parkway will remain open with intermittent one lane closures during the hours 5:30 AM to 9:30 PM throughout the entire project.

The detour will begin for visitors traveling south at Milepost 105.8 with the intersection of US Route 460 West to Virginia Route 24 East which will bring them back to the Parkway at Milepost 112.2 in Vinton.

Visitors traveling north will begin the detour at Milepost 112.2 with the intersection of Virginia Route 24 West in Vinton to US Route 460 East which will bring them back to the Parkway at Milepost 105.8.

Parkway officials said the closure is to allow repairs to be made to the Glade Creek Bridge at Milepost 107.4. These repairs are estimated to take twelve months to complete. Officials emphasized that the scenic motor road will be open as weather permits. The intermittent detour/closures have been scheduled to cause the least possible impact on public use and enjoyment of the Parkway.

ASHEVILLE - The Park Service has also announced that the 51.6-mile section of the Blue Ridge Parkway between US Route 70 east of Asheville, NC, milepost 382.5, and NC Route 226, milepost 330.9, Gillespie Gap will be temporarily detoured for tunnel repairs. This detour will be put into effect on November 6, 2007 and it will close the Parkway to all traffic from Milepost 355.3 (just south of the entrance to Mt. Mitchell State Park) to Milepost 364.5 (just north of the Craggy Gardens Visitor Center). The detour will begin for visitor traffic traveling south at milepost 330.9, with the intersection NC Route 226. Visitors will follow the detour signs along this route to I-40 West at Exit 86, exit I-40 West at Exit 55 to US 70 West which will bring them back to the Parkway at milepost 382.5.

Visitors traveling north will begin the detour at milepost 382.5 at the intersection with US Route 70; follow the detour signs along US 70 East to the intersection of I-40 East and continue on I- 40 East to Exit 86 where they will take NC Route 226 North which will return them to the Parkway at milepost 330.9 at Gillespie Gap. The total detour distance is approximately 47 miles.

Parkway officials said the closure is to allow repairs to be made to the Craggy Pinnacle Tunnel at milepost 364.4. These repairs are estimated to take three months to complete. Officials emphasized that the scenic motor road will be open to Mount Mitchell State Park from the north only at milepost 330.9 as weather permits. Local traffic access to the Parkway from Ox Creek Road, milepost 375.2 and Town Mountain Road, milepost 377.4, as well as visitor access to the Craggy Gardens Visitor Center will remain available as weather permits. However, no public access to the Parkway will be allowed south of the entrance to Mt. Mitchell State Park (MP 355.3) and north of the Craggy Gardens Visitor Center (MP 364.5) during tunnel repairs. They also noted that visitation to the Parkway is at its lowest levels in the winter, and the closure was scheduled to cause the least possible impact on public use and enjoyment of the scenic road.

The Craggy Gardens Visitor Center is scheduled to remain open for seven day a week operation through November 4. Weekend only operation will begin on November 10 & 11, and will end on November 18. The VC will be closed for the season on November 19.

Tracking Bog Turtles

Once again as the weather turns cool Parkway visitors head for home and the Parkway’s bog turtles head into hibernation. While this year’s drought and extended warm weather altered their schedule slightly all six turtles have returned to their hibernacula and are settling in for the winter.

Hibernation for reptiles (technically called brumation), such as our bog turtles, is a little different than hibernation for mammals, such as groundhogs and bats. Hibernating mammals lower their body temperatures so they use little of their fat reserves as they sleep away the winter. Reptiles, being cold-blooded, have body temperatures that are the same as the surrounding air or water and so do not lower their body temperature. Instead their metabolism slows down as it gets colder but, unlike mammals, they stay awake during the winter. And so while they can still be active during the winter their metabolism is so low that there is little movement and no significant weight loss. In this photo volunteer Amy Renfranz weighs a turtle.

Using transmitters provided by the Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway, park employees and volunteers have now followed three turtles for over two years and three additional turtles for more than one year. The three turtles that have been tracked since 2005 have all returned to the same sites where they hibernated the last two winters. One site, used by two turtles, is under a root mound formed by two small hemlock trees, while the other turtle has burrowed into the mud beneath a mix of birch, rhododendron and cinnamon fern roots.

One of the turtles that we first tracked in 2006 is with the turtle under the birch/rhododendron roots while the other two are underground beneath a clump of cinnamon ferns. Five of the six returned to the same locations where they hibernated last year while the sixth this year joined with one of the others at the cinnamon fern hibernaculum.

Park biologists were helped this year by six different volunteers who assisted with tracking turtles and replacing the transmitters. With the extra help we were able to monitor the turtles on more consecutive days, providing data to help determine how far turtles moved each day and the types of habitat that they used.

The park is also benefiting from the work of a student from the Geography Department at Appalachian State University. Heather Newton has volunteered to take the data collected over the last three seasons and will create Geographic Information System (GIS) layers to plot the turtle’s use of the bog. In addition she will be producing maps of the site’s water and vegetation so that park biologists can better understand how the turtles move through the site and which areas are used.

While the turtles sleep away the winter we will be looking over the data collected this summer and preparing for another summer of tracking. Though, as interesting as this work is managing this important park resource, there are days when sleeping away the winter doesn’t sound too bad either.

National Park Service Proposes New Trail Plan

The National Park Service (NPS) proposes to implement a new trail plan (Trail Plan) for the Roanoke Valley section of the Blue Ridge Parkway (Parkway). The Trail Plan, which would be between the Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission (Commission) and the Parkway, would be from Stewarts Knob, Milepost 110.6 to Masons Knob, Milepost 126.2. The intent of this project is to develop a safe and integrated trail system that would provide critical linkages between the Roanoke Valley greenway trail network, Parkway trails, and the community. This trail system would provide the public with a greatly enhanced range of trail opportunities as well as provide Parkway trail planning, mapping and rehabilitation assistance from the Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission.

Parkway Implements Ban on Open Fires

Because of the continuing high fire danger, Blue Ridge Parkway Superintendent Phil Francis today extended a temporary ban on open fires that had been in place since late August.

The ban includes all fires, campfires, charcoal and all solid fuels stoves and grills. According to the Public Notice careful use of self-contained gas or liquid fuel stoves is still permitted, as are cigarettes and other legal smoking products.

Superintendent Francis noted that wildland fires conditions in both North Carolina and Virginia are ranging from high to extreme and are not likely to significantly change in the near future and the closure is taken to protect the public, private and public lands and their resources.

The text of the notice is as follows:

In response to the high fire danger conditions that exist within and along the Blue Ridge Parkway the Superintendent has closed all areas under the jurisdiction of the Blue Ridge Parkway to the lighting or maintaining of fires. This closure applies to all fires using solid fuels, wood, wood products, charcoal and coal including solid fuel stoves and grills. The use of camp stoves, grills and lanterns that burn liquid fuels or pressurized gas are permitted in established and open camping and picnic areas.

This closure has been taken in consultation with other federal and state agencies responsible for fire prevention and control in North Carolina and Virginia and is taken under the authority of Title 36 Code of Federal Regulations section 2.13 (c).

The closure on fires within the lands administered by the National Park Service, Blue Ridge Parkway is effective immediately and will remain in place until removed by the Superintendent of the Parkway.

[NOTE: Due to rain that has temporarily eased dry conditions, some restrictions have been lifted. Check at campgrounds for specific details.]

FRIENDS Member Expresses Appreciation

FRIENDS member W. Edward Holmes III of Staunton, Virginia, regularly encloses notes of appreciation with his annual membership renewals. His most recent note is quoted below.

"I am the former employee of Western State Hospital who has written you a note previously exclaiming how nice it has been to bring groups of my patients up on the BEAUTIFUL Blue Ridge Parkway! I am now employed by Staunton City Schools, but still work at Western State. I still have the occasion each week to host excursions to various historical sites; frequently, our venue of choice for a pretty Friday PM is the unique “Farmstead” at Humpback! We were there in September – again – and I just have to say: ‘The staff down at the little cabin are so inviting – so welcoming.’ Following a time of visiting and debriefing about early life up in the mountains by the two well-versed interpreters, we were each offered a red ripe apple from the bushel basket nearby – as so many of our mouths had been watering for one! A couple of us enjoyed a game of checkers as we visited and what a well-rounded experience was afforded us! I (we) can simply NOT thank you enough! Have a nice day and pass the word on."

Thank you, Mr. Holmes, for taking the time to share your experiences with us and for recognizing the efforts of the volunteers who made your group so welcome.

We are interested in hearing from others who enjoy the Parkway. Please e-mail staff@friendsbrp.org with any thoughts you would like to share with readers of this e-newsletter.
