Garden developments spearhead museum’s spring season By Kevin Green
F
or residents, gardeners or history buffs, the forthcoming spring season at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley will feature a bevy of exhibitions, events and workshops. Starting April 1, the museum will give the public its first season-long experience of fresh renovations and additions to the Glen Burnie Home and Gardens. Reopened as a public residence last summer, Glen Burnie will come equipped with a new spring garden as well as new exhibits for this season - among many more offerings. Julie Armel, the museumʼs deputy director of communications, said the new spring garden “is the first garden to be added to the formal Glen Burnie Gardens since the site opened.” In preparation for the opening of the spring garden, Armel explained that museum staff “planted more than 13,000 bulbs” last fall. Of those, Perry Mathewes, the museumʼs director of gardens, said 10,000 daffodils were added to the new garden. The garden, Mathewes added, is a “very large, linear garden. Itʼs very long and narrow; itʼs only about a couple of hundred feet wide at the widest.”
Water from the town run cascades over this small waterfall outside Glen Burnie in Winchester. The original house dates back to 1794. Rich Cooley/Daily “Thatʼs why we thought the house was a perfect venue for the botanical exhibition.”
This spring, the museum will also be opening the first in a series of exhibitions in the drawing room of the Glen Burnie House on April 1 with “The Beauty of Botany.”
Armel also noted that people visiting the museum or, more specifically, the gardens during the month of April, can expect to see “lots of work ongoing.”

HOP BLOSSOM FEST expanding for third year
The festival was the brainchild of two of the festivalʼs organizers, Beth and Mark Bates of Winchester. Beth Bates is the president and founder of the one of the festivalʼs benefactors, www.GoodDogz.org - a nonprofit website dedicated to educating potential dog owners.
“This year, weʼre gonna be up to 40 breweries,” Mark Bates said, adding that they are also looking to have some ciders featured at the festival.
Bates added, “I think we might have a couple this year that are not domestic, maybe a couple of Belgians might be slipping in this year.”
“Our goal with the beer is to sample out the best beer that we can find,” Bates explained, noting that “about half” of the breweries at previous festivals have come from the state.
And although the list of breweries has not been finalized, Bates said, “Based on previous experience, thatʼs what we should expect.” He added that the final list of beers should be “nailed down about a week before the event.”
Tickets are on sale now, and Bates indicated that sales are tracking better than last year.
Right now, the festival is offering an With the demand of craft beer on the “early bird special” of $20 for a stanrise, more and more retail chains seem to be carrying different craft styles from dard attendee that comes with a commemorative cup as well as general local breweries for consumers. admission to tastings. “Weʼre looking more for ones that are special and … that you might not oth- The sale ends April 15. erwise come across,” Bates said.

“I expect it to be just a fun day. The crowd has been great each of the past two years … weʼve had good weather,” Bates added. “Weʼre hoping that continues, of course.” More information on ticket deals and

This growth, Bates added, also led to the creation of Winchesterʼs Craft Beer week, which runs the seven-day period prior to the Hop Blossom Festival. The week will include several “tap takeovers” - where an outlet such as the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema carries one breweryʼs beer on tap - and other craft beer-related events. “It definitely generates a lot of enthusiasm and focus on craft beer … plus the venues, restaurants, craft beer stores and Alamo have been very generous in terms of helping to cross-promote our fundraising event,” Bates noted. On the day of the event, Bates said anyone wishing to taste a beer will have to purchase a ticket. “The restaurants in Old Town Winchester will be packed selling lunch to the crowd,” Bates said.

Golf Classic to tee off in support of Bright Futures By Josette Keelor
On the Bright Futures USA website, success of community outreach is shown to come from even the smallest of sources. A landlord near Harrisonville, Missouri, secured donations of furniture for a family after he happened to notice their bare apartment didnʼt even include beds or a kitchen table. It was a major impact that meant everything to the family but resulted from a simple gesture he made by contacting his local Bright Futures chapter and asking how they might help. Bright Futures encourages communities to invest their “time, talent, and treasure” into schools to give underprivileged students their best chance at success, its website explains at http://brightfuturesusa.org/site/default .aspx.

In celebration, the museum will be opening a new exhibit that will run from April 28 through May 1, 2016 called “Collect, Preserve and Interpret: 10 Years at the MSV.” According to Armel, this exhibit will serve the purpose of highlighting the museumʼs Shenandoah Valley collection as well as “feature new acquisitions and recently conserved acquisitions.” This celebration will also include “objects from the vault” as well as special programs, Armel said. On May 9, the museum will be opening an exhibit for artist Mort Künstler. “We have been talking with [Mort] Künstler for several years about this exhibition,” Armel said. Armel noted, “Many people who live in the Shenandoah Valley area know his name as

Kern Motor revs up for 70-year celebration of serving community By Moazama Rafiqzad
Treat every customer with honesty, integrity and service after the sale is a value that is passed down to each generation of Kern Motor Company family members who serve the community through a family-owned business now approaching its 70th anniversary. Richard D. Kern Jr., president of Kern Motor Company, said that over the years, the Kern family has believed that they have an obligation to stand behind anything they sell. "This has been passed down through three generations and will continue in this family owned and operated business,” Kern said. Maj. Richard D. Kern Sr., founder of Kern Motor, returned to Winchester after World War II and saw a business opportunity in the car business, but getting started presented challenges. The post-war economy made it difficult to invest in a new business by himself, and he needed help. He turned to his father, H.P. Kern, and his brother, Henry Kern Jr. “With all the money they could scrape up and borrow, they started Kern Motor Company Inc.," Richard D. Kern Jr. said. "They built their first building, brand new building at 603 S. Loudoun Street and opened in the spring of 1946.” H.P. Kern died in 1948, failing to see the success of his sons in the new business. The automobile business kept growing and to keep up, the Kern brothers Shown here are Rick Kern, Trey Kern and Took Kern.

Chiropractor opens new office to help community with weight loss
“Heart attack is the number one killer year after year,” Pasternack said. “I want to help as many people as possible regain their health and reduce their risk of death from heart disease and complications of diabetes.”
Dr. Ray Wisniewski.
“I have separated the two offices, so we can best serve our community,”Pasternack said.
“This is the only program to assess over 2,800 different factors involved with fat burning and fat storage,” he said, “…this program gets you into a state of autophagy where your body can start to heal from the inside out. This is a permanent weight loss. Ninety-five percent or higher of clients have kept the weight off for over two years.”
Pasternack uses a new approach to weight loss called NRF Technology, or NutriMost Resonant Frequency Technology, created by

Pasternack said NF Technology allows the body to shed pounds quicker. It also works with each personʼs individual body type and is customized.
He said he does not use any drugs or medications while using the NRF Technology and noted that it puts the client into a fat burning zone. “Once in this perfect fat burning zone, you feel euphoric and the results are truly amazing!” he said.
“We are getting results, where all other programs have failed. You will not be hungry. There are no cravings. This program resets metabolism, meaning the clients will have more energy … And that is why people should look into this system,” he said. Pasternack added that he is looking forward to sharing weight loss success stories with his new clients. His website, www.virginiafatloss.com, states individuals could lose 25-37 pounds in 40 days under the doctor-supervised program. Pasternack has been practicing in his field for 24 years and serving the community in the Winchester/Stephen City area for the last 17 years. Contact him at Family Chiropractic Care at 540545-7891.

“Weʼve developed easy tips to dress up your table, from the ham to the centerpiece,” said Mary Beth Harrington of the McCormick Kitchens. “An orange glaze can bring new flavor to the classic ham, while food color can be used to make a variety of spring-inspired egg dyes to feature in Easter table décor.”
Use food color to create custom egg dyes you wonʼt find in a kit. Visit McCormick.com for seasonal color combinations inspired by the Pantone Spring “Fashion Color Report” as well as simple directions to create an egg-cellent floral centerpiece.

APPLE BLOSSOM FESTIVAL is gearing up for 88th year By Tom Crosby
The 88th Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival is ready to spring into bloom.
“There is plenty of anticipation and the planning sessions are in top gear,” said John Rosenberger, executive director of the festival.
“The festival store in the old Glaize building [135 N. Cameron St.] opens Monday, March 30th but the real information doesnʼt come out until around April 1.”
The iconic 10-day festival runs from April 24 through May 3 this year and it recently upgraded its digital offerings by adding its own official Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival App for mobile devices - Android, iPhones and the iPad.
David Gum, CEO of Henkel Harris Furniture in Winchester, unveils a jewelry box that he presented to Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival queen Alexandra “Ali” Astin, 17, during the Queenʼs Dinner held in May 2014 at the Lee Jackson Best Western Banquet Room in Winchester. Rich Cooley/File by mid-April we will know how things are going to go this year.”
Attracting an average of 250,000 visitors to a city of 26,000, the festival, with more than 40 diverse events, is one of the oldest civic celebrations in Virginia.
The parade route remains basically unchanged - although the Firefighters Parade now follows the same route as the Grand Feature parade.
The festival began in 1924 and has been held annually except for the years 1942-1945 during World War II.
“The back-to-back parades are the backbone of the festival,” said Rosenberger. “The whole festival builds off of that.”
“We like it, itʼs fun, traditional,” said Rosenberger, who has been executive director of the stand-alone independent, not-for-profit corporation since 1999 after serving four years on the festivalʼs board.

“Itʼs an important part of life around here,” said Rosenberger, a 1967 graduate of Handley High School and a 1972 Virginia Tech graduate. He has seen the festival begin to change from the inside out. “I donʼt think anyone around here would consider not having the festival.”
contracts and negotiations dealing with donations and performers are “complicated, complex,” Rosenberger said. “Their needs have to be met, too.”
“I hardly ever think of the festival like someone who is just viewing it as an event,” said Rosenberger. “There have been tweaks over the years, but it hasnʼt changed fundamentally.”
“Our foundation blocks remain the same,” he added. “The midway is still downtown, the parades are still here one Friday and one Saturday - a lot of things still center around Handley High School, we have fireworks, dances and the banquet - there is still a coronation, ladiesʼ luncheon, stag luncheon …” “We are trying to maintain it in a way all its fans will recognize it.”
Rosenberger manages a permanent, full-time staff of four who work with thousands of volunteers in todayʼs environment that have to contend with security concerns, permits, insurance and rising financial costs.
“The expense of just putting on the festival is 10 times what it cost in the early 1990s,” said Rosenberger. The festival raises funds one-third each from corporations, tickets to events, and miscellaneous - small government donations, vendor fees, souvenirs, pins, programs, etc.
Financial details are not disclosed as
Rosenbergerʼs favorite festival time is when the town shuts down mid-afternoon Friday, streets are blocked, people walk the streets, engage vendors and parties spring up along the Firefighterʼs Parade route - some not ending until the Grand Feature Parade ends Saturday.
Events include band competitions, dances, parades, carnival, wine festival, breakfasts, luncheons, dinners, a 10K and kidsʼ race, the Coronation of Queen Shenandoah, firefightersʼ events, celebrity appearances and more. The financial benefit is estimated at $10-15 million dollars for Frederick County and the northern Shenandoah Valley as well as southern Berkley County in West Virginia. “We can fill a lot of hotel rooms up,” said Rosenberger, whose goal is always to do a little better than the year before. “We are working hard,” he said, “but what usually decides success is who the celebrity is and what the weather is like. At this point we havenʼt announced any of the celebrities but

“We will have 200 legitimate units,” Rosenberger said. “I donʼt know how many legitimate 200 unit parades there are these days. We may not be the biggest or longest, but itʼs a pretty darn good parade.”
“I just love that atmosphere,” said Rosenberger. “Absolutely from noon Friday to suppertime Saturday.”

Rosenbergerʼs view of the festival differs from the festival-goer.
While the world has changed since a three-hour pageant was performed by students on Handleyʼs steps [stopped in 1965], some traditions remain the same.
“From beginning to end, it can easily last 3 1/2 to 4 hours. The Rose Bowl parade is barely l 1/2 hours these days. And the Firefighterʼs parade can last 2 to 2 1/2 hours.”
A popular pre-Apple Blossom Festival event occurs March 28 at Winchesterʼs Daniel Morgan Middle School when the Miss Honorary Fire and Rescue Chief contest is held from 7-9 p.m. Two women are chosen from candidates supported from area fire and rescue departments - Miss In-Town Honorary Fire and Rescue Chief and Miss Out-of-Town Honorary Fire and Rescue Chief. Tickets are $5. Festival officials are hoping the new mobile app will provide event information, GPS directions, traffic conditions and other helpful, timely information to enhance visitorsʼ experiences.

Support groups grow for area Alzheimer’s caregivers By Tom Crosby
Support groups for AlzheimerĘźs caregivers are growing in WinchesterĘźs assisted living facilities
“Last year there was one support group and now we have three,â€? said Bob Bell, programs and services manager for the AlzheimerĘźs Association National Capital Area Chapter in Frederick County and Winchester.

ALZHEIMERĘźS FACTS
• It is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and the only one of the Top 10 causes of death that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed. It is the only one of the Top 10 with no known cure.
There are three support groups in Winchester for caregivers of people with AlzheimerĘźs disease conducted by trained facilitators. The schedule:
• Those diagnosed with Alzheimerʟs live an average of eight years after their symptoms are noted by others.
• Spring Arbor Assisted Living Facility: 2 p.m., the second Tuesday of the month.
• No treatment is available to stop Alzheimerʟs from progressing, but there are drug and non-drug treatments that may help with both cognitive and behavioral problems.
• The Willows Assisted Living Facility: 2-3 p.m. the third Wednesday of the month.
• The 10 warning signs are posted on the Alzheimerʟs Association website, www.alz.org. Everyone may experience one or more of them in different degrees and if noticed, they should not be ignored. See a doctor since early detection can help you get maximum benefit from available treatments, plan for the future and secure help for yourself and loved ones.
• Westminster-Canterbury Continuing Care Retirement Community: 1 p.m. the third Thursday of the month. Professional training for caregivers on the subject of “Improving Communicationâ€? is scheduled at Spring Arbor on April 16 and assisted by the Virginia Department of Social Services.

Most diagnoses are based on a battery of tests administered by a neurologist. “Unfortunately, the only positive way to tell 100 percent is with an autopsy,â€? said Bell, “although PET [positron emission tomography] scans of the brain are considered 90 percent reliable for diagnosing AlzheimerĘźs.â€?
Cindy Schelhorn, senior director of Communications and Marketing for the nonprofit AlzheimerĘźs Association National Capital Area Chapter, said they have “just opened a satellite office in Winchester and anticipate doing a formal opening within the next few months.â€?

Bell, who also supports the AlzheimerĘźs AssociationĘźs Northern Shenandoah Valley efforts in Warren, Clarke, Fauquier, Loudoun and Rappahannock counties, lived in England where he worked as a geriatric social worker for eight years in adult protective services. He noted a lack of staff training and awareness about elderly care. “I have a background in professional training and I try to educate caregivers to look beyond the disease,â€? said Bell. “I tell them there is still a person in there and someone with AlzheimerĘźs or dementia may surprise them.â€?
