monday record for november 30

By Bill [email protected]

Rick West went off to work in 2001 to make possible the product you might buy from him this week.

It was about that long ago that the Annis-ton-raised Vietnam veteran, having read everything he could find about cultivating Christmas trees, actually started to plant them.

He set out about 500 foot-high seedlings that first year, and one thing he learned is that all his reading material “way understated” the amount of work and attention the job takes.

“To do this you gotta be a welder, a horti-culturalist, a farmer and all sorts of stuff,” he said.

“This is constant ... you never get through pruning and shaping.”

West’s crop consists of cypress trees he obtains from a wholesaler in North Carolina. They’re of three varieties — Leyland cypress, Murray cypress and a species known as the Carolina sapphire.

They’re “Southern trees for Southern folks,” he said, adding, “these shed less than others — a lot less than a Scotch pine.”

The trees almost didn’t make it through the drought of a couple of years ago, however. About 300 had to be replaced.

“I was at a point when I wasn’t sure the Lord wanted me to do this,” he said.

As it is, West has no permanent irrigation lines. He waters his seedlings from portable tanks, but once they get going, natural water sustains them.

The branches end in fern-like fronds that lend a soft appearance to the trees. Depending on how West has shaped an individual tree over the seasons, it can either curve and taper upward to a point or have branches that stick out more perpendicular from the trunk.

West sells the trees right where he grows them, on land known as Westwood Plantations. Originally in the family of his wife, Dianne, the farm is a few miles south of I-20 on the east side of Alabama 21. Eight acres are in cultivation, five acres of which have trees big enough for public sale.

That’s 3,500-4,000 trees, if you want to put a number to it.The cost of a tree is $5 a foot and West will even provide the saw a customer needs to cut it

down. Hours are 10-5 Monday-Saturday, 1-5 on Sundays.Last year was the first year West had enough crop to offer for sale, which was a neat experi-

ence in itself as he watched families pick out their Christmas companion.“It’s a family deal — they have fun deciding which one they’re gonna get, then they get the one

mother decides on.”Their height ranges up to 12 feet — in fact, that’s the size tree he thought would be in greater

demand last year, but his new customers surprised him.“More people wanted the smaller ones than I thought they would,” he said.Although consistent application of herbicide eliminates the weeds in areas of young trees,

West allows some ground cover to thrive around mature trees so that buyers in the field don’t get their shoes too muddy.

Of course, that’s not a problem for the 65-year-old West, a man in love with his land. Dirt is part of it, as are the rhythms of nature. He knows, for example, that June is the time to apply her-bicide, fall and spring the times to fertilize.

“After you’ve done this a while, there are clues the trees give you. They’ll tell you what to do and when.”

And he does most of it himself, only occasionally enlisting the help of his son, Oakley, or his son-in-law, Mark Gentry.

“I just love to work and to see what I’ve done,” West said. “At the end of the day it makes you feel good.”

A chapter 7 bankruptcy allows the debtor to retain certain exempt property, but the debtor’s remaining property is gathered and sold by a trustee from which creditors will receive payment. It may also be used by businesses which wish to terminate their business.A chapter 13 bankruptcy enables debtors, through court supervision and protection, to propose and carry out a repayment plan under which creditors are paid, in full or in part, in installments over a three-year period. During that time, debtors are prohibited from starting or continu-ing collection efforts.

Fargasons started a gift shop, then transformed it into a smaller-style party supply store.

That gave them practical experience in retail, so they knew what they were get-ting into when they bought into the Party Land franchise in 1997.

“We just really decided to concentrate on one thing. I wanted to get into the party business,” he said, noting that at the time it was a niche market well-served in Bir-mingham and Atlanta but not here.

They sold the Merry Maids busi-ness to a friend about a year after starting their Party Land.

They have a full-time employee, a part-timer and, at busy seasonal time, their teen-age daughter. They’ve sold their wares from a South Quintard loca-tion for about eight years. (Once the fort closed, it was hard to stay in Lenlock.)

“It was a good location, but when the fort closed, we knew we needed to get down on

Quintard. In retail, visibility is important.”

One of Fargason’s key duties in his business is researching and order-ing the right merchandise. He counts that as the more annoying part of his job — “the book-work,” dealing with thou-sands of differ-ent items and figuring out which should be discontin-ued.

The Party Land franchise agreement doesn’t force any products onto its fran-chisees, but makes recom-mendations
