Ihere will be a lot ol stories about the outdoors plus how-to stories ... you know, what kind of fence do you put in, maybe a photo essay on fences, stone walls without mortar, that kind of thing. You will see things you haven’t seen before. [For example, we will carry] not the normal restaurant reviews, but an explanation of the local food chain ... from the radishes grown on a farm in Hume that goes to a local restaurant, and what it becomes. We will talk about the geology of Old Rag Mountain, how it was formed; talk about the Rappahannock River watershed, a real portrait of the river itself.
The magazine should be a clearing house for information about the region and a showcase for the artists, photographers, writers and poets that call the Piedmont home ... how the area serves as an inspiration for them. There are a lot of incredibly talented artists in the area, and we want to show off their works.”
The magazine is scheduled to roll off the press in the next three or four months. Nicklin, for his part, has a clear idea of what he wants to produce for his readers.
“You’ve got to understand man’s place in this world, and that’s the idea behind this magazine,” he said. “I want people to appreciate the fact that this is a special place that will be here long after the reader is gone. We want to preserve the heritage. The reader has a stake in it.”
