Please Be Seatedan enormous chair that traveled all around the u.S. from 2002-

2009 is now on permanent display in uptown Martinsville.

the chair was built in 2002 to mark the 100th anniversary of local

manufacturer Bassett furniture industries, and later was used to open

Bassett furniture stores across the u.S. Located just off Church Street,

it weighs 6,000 pounds, towers 20 feet tall and spans more than

8 feet across.

During the piece’s ribbon-cutting in 2009, Bassett furniture

President and Ceo Rob Spilman said it is fitting that the chair’s

“final resting place is right here in the seat of the furniture industry.”

fairy tales Come true

visitors to fairy Stone State

Park are often brought to tears.

tiny rocks called fairy stones,

also known as fairy tears, can be

dug at fairy Mountain near the

entrance to the park. fairy stones

are cross-shaped iron aluminum

silicate crystals formed millions

of years ago.

they exist in four different and

distinct shapes, including the St.

andrew’s cross, a Maltese cross, a

Roman cross and a single crystal.

the stones have no monetary

value but thousands of people

hunt for them each year at the

park – one of the few places in the

world where they can be found.

the Rives is Rockin’the historic Rives theatre in uptown Martinsville isn’t a movie theater

anymore. But the cinema’s loss is the community’s gain, as the 250-seat

venue now hosts everything from stand-up comedy to rock, bluegrass

and country music concerts. the diverse lineup is thanks to friends of

the Rives, a non-profit group devoted to keeping the Rives open and

hopping with music, private parties and other performances.

appalachian roots band folk Soul Revival sold out its show at the Rives,

and other concerts like country singer Clinton Gregory and bluegrass

band Larry keel and natural Bridge have been popular as well.

the sixth race in naSCaR history.

today, the speedway known for bumping and paint-scraping action stages two

annual naSCaR Sprint Cup series events, each of which pours an estimated $170

million into the local economy. the track, which has a seating capacity of 62,000,

is owned by international Speedway Corp.

When artist Karen Despot moved to Martinsville with her husband Terry in 1990, the couple only planned to stay a year. But they fell in love with the

community’s cozy atmosphere and promising arts scene, and 20 years later they’re still here.

“I was astounded by the amount of hidden artistic talent here. I was just so thrilled to be here,” Despot says. “We’ve lived in big cities, and here you can get to the grocery and back in a half hour. People care about you. It’s a nice place to raise a family.”

Despot also discovered Martinsville is a great place to be an artist. She spent four years teaching art in Martinsville City Schools before opening de Spot Art Gallery in October 2005.

“I hit a certain point in my life when I turned 50. I realized I needed to make a go at my own artwork, or it wasn’t going to happen,” Despot says. “I put an ad out, and within two weeks

I had 10 people signed up for a drawing class.”At her gallery on Spruce Street, Despot displays her

portrait work as well as her daughter’s photography. She also hosts workshops taught by nationally known artists on everything from painting from a live model to knitting. Somewhere in the mix, she finds time to teach group and private lessons to about 40 students of all ages.

“We have beginning drawing up to a group of seasoned artists who’ve been painting for years,” Despot says. “It’s fun to watch people create things they never thought they could do. I’m having the best time. I try to make it fun for them, especially the kids. I don’t tell them what to draw – I let them decide and help them learn as they go.”

Despot’s forte is portrait painting, and she has done several portraits of people and pets in Martinsville.

“I love portraits because when I’m doing one, it’s almost like I’m talking to the person or the pet, and their

personalities really come out in the picture,” she says.Another bright spot in Martinsville’s arts scene is the

Piedmont Arts Association, which oversees Studio 107, a community art studio on Church Street in Uptown Martinsville. The studio provides space for nearly a dozen local artists to create and display their work, much of it for sale.

Piedmont Arts also oversees the TheatreWorks Community Players, which moved into a newly renovated building in February 2010. The black-box theater on Franklin Street has 120 seats and also houses rehearsal space, a scene shop and costume storage. TheatreWorks renovated the building with the help of a grant from The Harvest Foundation, allowing them to install a lighting grid and dimmer racks, state-of-the-art sound system, lobby, stage and theater curtains.

“What makes TheatreWorks unique is the approach to be as professional as possible in the audition process, direction, costumes, set and casting,” says Barbara Parker, director of programs for the Piedmont Arts Association. “It makes this community very proud to see the incredible talent in this area.”

TheatreWorks is made up of a 17-member board of directors, more than 125 actors, 40 musicians and more than 50 volunteers who help with set building, ushering

and poster distribution.“It has been a very diverse group, and several of the actors

have gone on to work professionally,” Parker says. “But most of the cast members are just extremely talented individuals who have day jobs and families and simply love the theater.”

Some of TheatreWorks’ most popular shows have been Peter Pan (2007), Beauty and the Beast (2010) and Greater Tuna (2010).

“Every year, it gets better and better,” Parker says. “Greater Tuna was hilarious and has created some real cultural icons around here.”

Martinsville residents can even see nationally known acts without leaving town. Over the last 20 years, Piedmont Arts’ On Stage! performance series has brought 76 professional theatrical and musical acts to Martinsville High School Auditorium, including the Grammy-nominated Cherryholmes band and Motown legends such as The Platters.

The historic Rives Theatre in Uptown Martinsville also hosts concerts, plays and other creative productions.

“Martinsville’s arts scene is young. It’s fun watching things happen here,” Despot says. “We’re not established yet like Asheville or Winston-Salem. But we’re doing it on our own to fit Martinsville’s style.”

Martinsville residents have plenty of great parks and outdoor spaces in which to enjoy nature, and some

new initiatives are making it even more enticing to get out and enjoy the area’s natural beauty.

The Martinsville-Henry County Community Nature Initiative, a joint program of the Virginia Museum of Natural History and The Harvest Foundation of the Piedmont, is luring families out of their homes and into the great outdoors with fun activities and educational programs.

“Some of the benefits of enabling children to play and learn outside are healthy brain development; enhancing learning readiness, learning behaviors and problem-solving skills; and learning how to work in groups, share, negotiate, resolve conflicts and gain self-advocacy

skills,” says Tamara Poles, nature and outdoor education manager for the Virginia Museum of Natural History. “It also builds active, healthy bodies.”

One of the Community Nature Initiative’s programs is Screen on the Green, a monthly outdoor movie at J. Frank Wilson Park.

“An hour before the movie, we take children on nature hikes and do crafts and educational games and activities,” Poles says. “Then we show an educational movie of a relevant topic that month.”

The museum collaborates with other area organizations to sponsor community events such as the Outdoor Fun Festival, the Kite Festival in March and the Earth Day Festival in April. The three festivals combined attracted more than 1,600 participants in 2010.

The Community Nature Initiative even provides training sessions for local

teachers using websites such as www.earthforce.org and www.sharingnature.com.

“Earth Force has a curriculum teachers can take back to their students and enable the kids to take on environmental projects. The curriculum teaches kids to identify environmental issues in their area and address them,” Poles explains. “In our area, Patrick Henry Elementary’s fifth- grade class went through the entire curriculum and developed board games for their peers that addressed certain environmental issues. We’re so proud of them – they did a great job.”

The museum is also working on the J. Frank Wilson Park Tree Inventory, an ongoing nature and outdoor educational tool that gives student groups, Scout troops and master gardeners an opportu-nity to earn volunteer service hours.

“We train Scout leaders and teachers, and they in turn teach students how to do the tree inventory,” Poles says.

In the meantime, the Henry County Parks and Recreation Department is overseeing construction of a new federally funded $1.3 million passage of the Smith River Trail System. The Dick & Willie Passage will stretch 4.5 miles from Collinsville through Martinsville and

will be built on the former Norfolk Southern Railway.

The 10-foot-wide paved trail will provide a new recreation opportunity for the county’s residents to walk, run, bike and rollerblade, and it will significantly boost Henry County’s tourism economy.

It will include four trailheads, a scenic overlook at Mulberry Creek and a restroom facility at the Liberty Street trailhead. Construction of the trail is scheduled for completion in fall 2010.

Another popular spot with outdoor lovers is the Philpott Lake Dam and Overlook, a scenic stop along Virginia’s

view from the scenic foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains in southwest virginia

Excitement is running high in the Martinsville-Henry County business community, and with good

reason. New companies are moving into Martinsville- Henry County, bringing job opportunities with them, and the city and state are planning to ensure Martinsville-Henry County maintains its business-friendly climate.

For one success story, look no further than Faneuil Inc. The customer service firm is investing $2.4 million to

establish a new call center at the Clock Tower at Commonwealth Centre in Martinsville-Henry County. Over the next three years Faneuil will hire 250 call center employees to communicate with customers of Dominion Virginia Power who want to connect or disconnect electric service. The center is expected to handle between 800,000 and 1 million calls a year.

Faneuil executives cited Martinsville-Henry County’s low cost of doing business, existing properties to

house the business, hospitality and enthusiastic workers as some of the reasons they chose the city for the new call center.

Solutia Performance Films is another strong and growing business in Martinsville-Henry County.

And Memphis-based snack manufacturer Monogram Food Solutions acquired a facility in Martinsville-Henry County in August 2009 with plans to bring more than 150 more jobs to Martinsville-Henry County over the next two years. The Martinsville-Henry County snack foods facility produces 12 million pounds of meat snacks annually for branded business, private label and store brands, and co-manufactures meat snacks for select national brands.

“Working in Martinsville-Henry County is a pleasure,” says George Roden, vice president of operations for Monogram Snacks Martinsville-Henry County. “Our associates have a great work ethic and a ‘can-do’ attitude. The local and state government agencies have strongly endorsed and supported our growth efforts, and Martinsville-Henry County is business-friendly. Martinsville-Henry County has a strong sense of community and a commitment to family success, and they strive to provide a safe, vibrant environment in which to raise a family.”

Roden says Monogram chose Martinsville-Henry County for its availability of skilled and unskilled labor, a state-of-the-art facility in a prime industrial park, and available infrastructure to support future growth.

Monogram, which produces food products under brands including Bass Pro Shops, Hannah’s Pickled Sausage, Wild Bill’s Jerky and Bull’s, had 135 full-time employees before acquiring the Martinsville-Henry County facility. Since then, the company has grown to 275 full-time employees.

Monogram plans to further increase the capacity of the Martinsville-Henry County plant with the help of a $2 million loan from the Virginia Small Business Financing Authority. The money is being used to pay for new smokehouses and packaging equipment that will help the plant expand its product lines.

Customer service firm Faneuil inc. is planning to hire 250 call center employees over the next three years.

as businesses in Martinsville-Henry County grow and change,

the Martinsville-Henry County Chamber of Commerce continues to expand its programs to meet memberships needs.

Knowing that workforce development is a priority for many businesses, the chamber works with the West Piedmont Workforce Investment Board to help local businesses access free services and find skilled workers.

“Every year, we survey our members to determine the issues of high importance to the business community

so we can set our priorities for the upcoming program year,” says Amanda Witt, Martinsville-Henry County chamber president. “Year after year, workforce development continues to remain at the forefront, and we are working hard to address that issue.”

In July 2010 the chamber began a partnership with the region’s Virginia Workforce Centers to provide their business services component to members.

“We want our employers to be aware of the services that the Virginia Workforce Center and its partners can offer, whether it’s training of incoming

or existing workforce,” Witt says.A new position was created at the

Chamber in July 2010 for a business services manager responsible for working with local employers, analyzing data and determining employers’ needs. In 2009, the chamber implemented a summer youth employment program that gave about 100 young people work experience with chamber member businesses.

“We also partnered with the Workforce Investment Board to place about 30 adult interns with our member businesses,” Witt says. “The interns worked 40 hours a week for nine weeks and earned a wage with no tax deductions. We got a lot of positive feedback. Several people gained seasonal or part-time employment, and a few gained full-time employment. Those who didn’t gained another set of skills and another business reference.”

Despite the nationwide economic slump, the chamber’s membership roster is holding steady at about 600 business members.

“That’s a strong testament to the business community in our area and the benefits they receive from their chamber membership,” Witt says.

Members say the most valuable benefits of belonging to the chamber are networking, business and community information, and taking part in the chamber’s Fast Track trade show in March. Fast Track is the region’s premiere expo, allowing businesses to showcase themselves to two separate kinds of customers: the business community and the general public.

“We try to tailor our programs and initiatives to fit the needs of our membership each year”, Witt says. “We’re here to advocate for our membership and what is best for their businesses.”
