UP AND COMING Vint Hill Finds Its Future

By Rebekah Grier With a history that dates back almost 250 years, Vint Hill has seen some excitement in its day. In addition to a stint as a private estate-turnedcattle farm, Vint Hill witnessed battle during the Civil War, served as a cryptologic center during World War II and eventually became a research and development facility during the Cold War. But perhaps the most exciting events to take place in Vint Hill are happening right now, with still more to look forward to. Following the slow but steady changes occurring over the last 15 years, the growth that has taken place during the last 12 months is exciting many in the community - and promises even greater things to come.

Two of the greatest contributing factors to the revitalization of Vint Hill have come in the form of the new ownership by Vint Hill Village, LLC and the leap-of-faith turned successstory Old Bust Head Brewery.

Due to the growing interest surrounding Vint Hill, more than 15 new businesses have come into the area. Existing businesses have undergone cosmetic updates or upgraded to a better space. And thanks to the work of Vint Hill Village, LLC, new fencing, paving, landscaping, signage, and renovations have also been completed. Vint Hill is now even its own postal city. While much still 6

has to be done, an attractive vibrancy is beginning to coalesce – drawing new opportunities.

“I think what’s going on in Vint Hill is so exciting.”

– Adrienne Cook, Planning Commission “[Vint Hill] was always envisioned to be the economic drive of that eastern sector of the county,” said Adrienne Cook of the Fauquier County Planning Commission. She speculates that in three to five years, an attractive commercial community will evolve.

One of the first great shifts in Vint Hill was the addition of Old Bust Head Brewery (OBH), founded by Ike and Julie Broaddus and brewmaster Charles King. Housed in the old warehouse buildings off of Lineweaver Road, the brewery officially opened in February 2014 followed by the taproom a few months later in August. Despite being in business for just eighteen months, OBH has already received national attention, named as one of America’s 10 BestSelling New Craft Beers by MSN.com.

Although she and her husband originally thought to open the brewery in Gainesville, Ms. Broaddus now describes Vint Hill as “the perfect fit for us.” Strong advocates for “doing something great for Fauquier County,” the Broadduses want to see Vint Hill

grow and thrive while maintaining its historical integrity. They renovated the additional buildings they own near the brewery and are now at max capacity. Ms. Broaddus described their goal as helping to build a “walkable” community with a “sense of place.”

Brandy Brogdon, one of the Broadduses’ first tenants and owner of Simply Pure Products, shares this vision. Brogdon envisions Vint Hill as “a community you don’t have to leave.”

“I think we have room to grow, but still be a small town,” Brogdon said after describing her hopes to see a grocery store, restaurant, outdoor theatre, condos, and children’s activity center join the growing community.

Of Vint Hill’s new ownership under Ed Moore, president of Vint Hill Village, LLC, Brogdon noted, “I think it’s going to be exactly what Ed and Ike and Julie want it to be. They are rocking and rolling. They have a vision.”

Brogdon also noted that since the aesthetic updates and renovations by Vint Hill Village and the opening of the brewery, she has seen more people out walking, riding, and enjoying the space now that it doesn’t look like an unfriendly lot of empty buildings. She has also seen walk-ins at her cosmetics and skincare boutique increase to almost 1,000 per weekend.

Longtime Vint Hill staple, the Broad Run Lifestyle

Green Maple Market

Fauquier Community Theatre has experienced a seamless transition under the new ownership and board chairman Mike Markley believes the theatre will only “continue to prosper as the community grows.”

“Independent businesses are the backbone of community.”

– Mike Markley, Fauquier Community Theatre

Markley described Vint Hill Village as a good neighbor and went on to share how it has honored the theatre’s previous lease agreements, provided prop and costume storage free of charge as well as use of their own conference room for board meetings. “We’ve seen only favorable things from Vint Hill Village,” Markley said.

The Bull Run Academy of Gymnastics, open since August 2014, has also had a very favorable welcome to the Vint Hill area. The one-year anticipated enrollment planned by founders Mary and Drew Henry was met in just six weeks. The Henrys now train 500+ students a week and are already thinking about options for expansion.

“The great thing about Vint Hill is we see this place on the cusp,” Mr. Henry said, “It’s going to happen.”

When meeting with Moore to discuss prospective facilities, the Henrys were struck by his support, information and transparency in “explaining the concept of and the future of Vint Hill.”

“We’re just as supportive for them to get this done.”

– Drew and Mary Henry, Bull Run Academy of Gymnastics Vint Hill Village, LLC has also used their vision of community vitality 8

Mary and Drew Henry owners of BRAG

to attract heavy-hitting, cornerstone institutions like Lord Fairfax Community College (LFCC), to invest and make a home in the area.

LFCC’s Communications Specialist Leslie Kelley said, “Because Vint Hill is projected as such a high growth corridor, it certainly made sense to offer college credit courses and career training programs at this location…

LFCC is pleased to be Vint Hill’s community college.”

Kelley went on to say, “There’s a real feeling of ‘community.’ By offering greater accessibility to goods and services within the Vint Hill community, families won’t feel the need to travel outside the general area.”

“The progress made thus far is very exciting and we hope for continued growth.”

–Leslie Kelley, Lord Fairfax Community College

One such manifestation of a “greater accessibility to goods” comes in the form of the Green Maple Market, newly housed in the renovated slate roof horse stables behind the Vint Hill Winery. Owner Kathy Holster had been looking for the perfect location in Fauquier County for four years before a conversation with Moore led her to the old horse stables that Vint Hill Village had been envisioning as a farmers’ market. “Vint Hill Village was just fantastic to work with. I love this building. I love it,” Holster said.

Having only been open for a few weeks, Holster is already overwhelmed by the support and encouragement she has received from the community.

Minutes after saying that, two patrons walked in and immediately shouted, “We’re so glad you’re here!”

“Vint Hill is headed in the right direction.”

– Ken Ellis, Piedmont Dogs

Another revitalization effort that has attracted community support is Piedmont Dogs, the neighborhood dog park. On its way to closing in February of last year, Ken Ellis stepped in as a non-profit to remove the park from the managing responsibilities of the Economic Development Authority (EDA). When Vint Hill Village, LLC came in four months later, Ellis immediately noticed more enthusiasm and excitement.

A considerable number of renovations later (Moore even donated natural rock boulders), Ellis reflects on the increased appeal of the park, which draws over 200 visitors each weekend and boasts an email list of nearly 1,000 contacts. “I do tip my hat to Vint Hill because it has been an incredible support,” said Ellis. Speaking of the changes in Vint Hill overall, Ellis described the steady improvements he’s seen in the community and concluded, “There’s a vitality to it.”

As Vint Hill enters another period in its long and storied history, it can now add “vibrant and thriving community” to its record.

Adu lt s W ith A DHD The Diagnosis & Positives of this Neurologic Condition Article By: Linda Swanson

What if your husband is heading out to Lowe’s and you ask him to make an extra stop at Giant because you need something for tonight’s dinner – and he comes home empty handed because your request never crossed his mind after he walked out the door?

Did a colleague at work ever promise to complete a report by 5pm today, but you don’t see it for another week, even though you know he/ she’s been putting in a lot of overtime working on it?

Has your wife invited the new neighbors over for dinner, but she never thought of it after the invitation left her mouth, and your whole family is in pajamas watching

10

a movie when the neighbors ring your doorbell?

What if you and your partner have divided up household chores and he agrees to be in charge of laundry, but every week you run out of clothes because he forgets to wash them?

If this type of incident happens occasionally, it’s normal. Nobody’s perfect! If it happens so frequently that life is regularly disrupted and relationships are frazzled, there might be something going on besides a brief memory lapse, a failure to take responsibility, or even a little passive aggression. It might be adult ADHD – Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder.

ADHD is a brain – based or neurologic condition that involves primarily three characteristics – impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity. Usually when people think of ADHD, they think of kids – most often hyperactive schoolboys. But professionals have known for nearly 30 years that people don’t usually outgrow ADHD, so adults can also have it.

In fact 4.5 percent of adults in the United States have ADHD, though 85 percent of those adults don’t know they have it, according to information on found on www.cdc.gov.

Diagnosing ADHD is not simple, especially in adults. One reason adult diagnosis is challenging is that many current diagnostic criteria are based primarily on how it appears in children.

ADHD looks different in adults than in children. For example, hyperactive children with ADHD are physically hyperactive. Adults with ADHD can also be hyperactive, but cognitively rather than physically. For adults the physical manifestations may be the clicking of a pen, twirling hair or bouncing a foot. But their minds may be moving a mile a minute, keeping them from focusing or leading them to interrupt with a blurted comment.

Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a blood test you could take in your family doctor’s office to get a firm diagnosis? Though neuroscientists are trying to find a test that will make diagnosing ADHD simpler, they aren’t there yet. For now doctors need to take an extensive history of both the patient and family and detailed information on current challenges.

Then the doctor needs to decide if there are sufficient symptoms in the areas of inattention and/or Broad Run Lifestyle

hyperactivity/impulsivity to determine if an individual has one of three types of ADHD – inattentive, hyperactive/ impulsive, or combined (some traits from each of the other two). Other potential diagnoses also must be ruled out and that can be challenging since folks with ADHD very often have other issues such as anxiety, depression or obsessive compulsive disorder.

Genetics play an important role in ADHD. Frequently adults realize they have ADHD when their children are diagnosed. That is a great time for everyone in the family to learn more about this particular type of brain wiring.

In the case of our family, my husband Neil and I had been married 35 years when he finally received a diagnosis of ADHD. Off and on during those years we consulted with therapists, educators and professionals about a diagnosis, but we never learned anything more than that Neil was extremely intelligent.

In fairness to the professionals, during that time ADHD was believed to be exclusively a problem of childhood. The lack of an explanation left us to assume the challenges we faced were due to choices Neil was making – he must be choosing to be late, forgetful, disorganized, etc. Many adults (and children) with this diagnosis are viewed in the same way, because neither they nor those living and working with them understand ADHD. This lack of understanding is itself understandable, because ADHD is unique in each individual. In addition, a person may behave in ways that are inconsistent, causing parents, teachers, or partners to wonder why he/she is able to focus intensely for hours “when he/she wants to,” but is unable to even get started on something someone else wants something completed.

One of the early books about adult ADHD, “You Mean I’m Not Lazy, Stupid, or Crazy” (published in 1993

by Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo), acknowledged that this was how

ADHDers were viewed by people who didn’t understand them. The result is often someone with low self – esteem and lots of self – condemnation. At the same time, those they live and work with can be impatient, frustrated and angry.

Dr. William Dodson, a board certified adult psychiatrist who specializes in adults with ADHD for over 23 years, wrote an article called “Secrets of the ADHD Brain” (www. additudemag.com). A light bulb when on for me when I read Dr. Dodson’s distinction between the ADHD nervous system and what he calls the “neurotypical” nervous system (most other people). This article is a good source to learn more about ADHD. He said most folks can get started on a project and follow it to its conclusion if at least one of these three elements is present: 1. The project is important and the person thinks she should get it done; 2. Another person such as parent, teacher, or employer thinks the project is important; 3. There will be a reward for successful completion or a punishment for failure to complete.

He also mentions that someone with an ADHD nervous system is not able to engage with a project for any of those reasons. However, there are four things that will prompt someone with ADHD to engage and take action, according to his article: 1. Interest or intrigue by a project (and interest is not something they can manufacture) 2. An element of challenge or competition involved 3. A new or creative project – though novelty wears off quickly 4. Urgency or an element of a crisis within a project.

Take a good look at this list and you’ll probably think of several careers that are perfect for someone with the ADHD type of nervous system – firefighters, EMTs, artists, inventors, reporters, etc. Jobs with high levels of interest, challenge, and even crises often appeal to those dealing with this neurological condition.

According to an article “Benefits (Yes Benefits!) of Having ADD/ADHD” (www.haoowellnyc.com) the ‘negatives’ of ADHD have their ‘positive’ sides.

For example distractibility can be curiosity. Impulsivity can be creativity.

Hyperactivity can be high energy.

Even disorganization can be seen as spontaneity. ADHDers are often described as innovative, creative, resourceful, resilient, bright, enterprising and much more.

Since Neil was diagnosed, both of us have learned a great deal about this condition. Our work today is with individuals whose lives also feel the impact of ADHD. We help them reach their goals, deal with challenges and acknowledge and build on their many strengths. Life offers opportunities and challenges to everyone and we believe it is important to focus on the positives – the talents, strengths and abilities we all can learn to apply in work, family and all other aspects of our lives.

Linda Swanson and her husband, Neil, are both graduates of the ADD Coach Academy and are credentialed by the International Coach Federation. They are both ADHD coaches with Free To Be Coaching (www.freetobecoaching.com) who have lived in the New Baltimore area for the past eleven years. Linda and Neil work (in person, by phone, Skype or FaceTime) with individuals age 13 and older whose lives have felt the impact of ADHD. 12

BULL RUN

MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY Supporting The Environment, Education & Family Fun Throughout The Summer

By Debbie Eisele

14

Bull Run Mountains Conservancy’s (BRMC) mission is “Education, Research and Stewardship.” Their work is performed within Bull Run Mountains Natural Area Preserve, owned by the Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF).

This setting not only offers BRMC an ideal location to support their mission, but offers area residents a unique place to revel in the beauty of summer.

Amanda Scheps, Owned Lands Manager for VOF, explained that “The Foundation is a state agency and national leader in land conservation and it owns the 2,400 acres straddling the border of Fauquier and Prince William Counties. This property was designated by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation as the Bull Run Mountains Natural Area Preserve in 2002. The Natural Area Preserve designation is saved for properties that contain rare or unique ecological features.” Scheps also mentioned “Currently, some trails and the area of the White Rocks are closed to the public for restoration. The restoration will be ongoing for an indefinite time, but the rest of the trails are open and they offer a variety of hiking experiences and natural settings.”

Education on the nature preserve is the Conservancy’s responsibility.

The preserve is home to over 1,000 species of plants and the ecological systems on the mountains are vital to local plant and wildlife populations, as well as the Chesapeake Watershed.

Michael Kieffer, Executive Director for BRMC, said “The preserve is an area that not only provides local habitat for flora and fauna such as birds, amphibians and reptiles, but is a place where people can enjoy nature. At BRMC preservation does

not mean a hands-off policy, but rather a focus on drawing people to appreciate the resources at hand and the completion of research to better understand and protect those resources.”

The Conservancy is a non-profit organization which offers workshops and camps throughout the year.

Their website www.brmconservancy. org states, “Our Youth Outdoors Program shows children that the outdoors is fun and exciting, and teaches them that we all have a responsibility to protect and enhance our public lands and nature.” This summer is no exception, there are numerous options that may appeal to you or your entire family.

According to Kieffer, “All the camps are developed to bring children into the field - to show them that research and understanding animals is critically important to saving species.”

Each year the camps enlist the assistance of interns (teens through graduate students) to assist with the camps. “Some interns stay with us from year to year through college and grad school. Approximately 4-5 interns are enlisted each year,” said Kieffer. “These interns not only assist in developing a love of nature in children, but their own experience increases their own educational aspirations.”

Whether you are looking for a day hike with family and friends or a few days of educational fun, gather up your sunscreen, water bottles, some food and head out to Bull Run Mountains.

OUT & ABOUT…

WALKING OUR NEIGHBORHOODS The Gift of Whitney State Forest

By Edda Berglund of “Clymb and Wyne” Solvitur Ambulando (Solved by Walking) “In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks” -John Muir.

Mr. Muir was a very wise person.

Indeed, a sojourn in nature’s offering can help lift the spirit and heal the soul. No time for “sojourning” you say?

Think again. What if you were told that you could hike on trails resplendent with the scent of wild honeysuckle and roses, the kaleidoscope of buttercup and foxglove meadows and the symphony presented by warblers, jays and vireos… all a short distance from your home? This cornucopia of nature’s bounty can be enjoyed at Warrenton’s 20

Whitney State Forest, a gift of land donated in 1972 to the State of Virginia - courtesy of Mrs. Helen Whitney Gibson. Whitney, a little known hidden Piedmont gem, nestled between neighborhoods and pavement, offers the tranquility of a remote wildlife sanctuary without the travel time required for a Skyline destination.

Whether one is in the mood for a leisurely morning stroll or a more vigorous bike ride, Whitney State Forest offers six miles of flat to moderately graded trails. The Park boasts 148 acres to be enjoyed by flora and butterfly enthusiasts or those simply interested in communing with nature without the burden of the travel time necessary to reach other walking and hiking trails.

As conveniently accessed as it is don’t let Whitney’s proximity to pavement and neighborhood homes deceive you. Within seconds of walking from the entrance of the Park, past the trailhead, you will feel the slight decrease in temperature thanks to a thick canopy created by yellow-poplars, pignut hickories and Virginia pines. As you wander farther into the woods, the silent salutation of a whitetail deer or the plaintive cries of a red-tailed hawk will fool you into believing you are deep in the wilderness rather than enjoying nature’s retreat just minutes from Old Town.

Most of Whitney’s terrain is flat or gently graded but be sure to pay attention as you are visualizing that Broad Run Lifestyle

Though the inspiration for Robert William Service’s poem, “Trees Against the Sky” was most likely inspired by his pilgrimages to the Canadian Yukon, the sentiment can certainly apply to the majesty of Whitney’s ornament of trees, both young and ancient.

Wild Yellow Iris

post-hike frozen treat. Though the trails are relatively unfettered by obstacles you will encounter small, shallow creeks to traverse. Be sure to wear sturdy, water-resistant footwear that will survive an occasional dip in the water of a meandering stream.

Although Whitney State Forest is a wildlife sanctuary it is also used for research and timber production. The Clymb and Wyne gals were curious to know why certain plots of land along the trails appeared sparsely populated by mature trees. In fact, wanderers along the paths will note areas that are meadow-like, bright with unimpeded sunlight. This is due to the regulated practice of “thinning” and “clearcutting” managed by the Virginia Department of Forestry. In particular, stands of pine trees have been thinned to improve the overall health of the forest. Thinning reduces the chance of invasion by the southern pine bark beetle and encourages other plant growth, a food source for indigenous wildlife.

Years ago one could find white pine stands growing in the forest.

Due to the decline in health of that species, the Forestry Department clear cut the stands and, in their places, planted shortleaf pines. The shortleaf is what you will view, both juveniles and more mature pines, as you journey through the forest. In fact, the Forestry Department is in the process of populating other Piedmont area forests with shortleaf seedlings.

There is a lot of work that goes into preserving and maintaining the health of the forests for our enjoyment. (The Forestry Department asks that you not remove or introduce any plant life as you enjoy the bounty of Whitney State Forest. This ensures that invasive species of plants and insects will not be introduced to the forest or spread to other Piedmont ecosystems. ).

Nonetheless, the glory that is the result of Mother Earth’s natural curatorship beckons the traveler to follow the fern bordered trails to another vista of nature’s offering.

Trees, trees against the sky O I have loved them well!

There are pleasures you cannot buy, Treasurers you cannot sell, And not the smallest of these Is the gift and glory of trees. . . .

So I gaze and I know now why It is good to live - and to die. . . .

Trees and the Infinite Sky.

Do yourself a favor and venture to one of Warrenton’s understated hiking and walking destinations. Be sure to take along water, sunscreen, camera and your four-legged friend. In fact, if your four-legged friend happens to be of the equine variety, no to worries.

On its recent hike to Whitney, Clymb and Wyne Gals were greeted by horses taking their owners for a walk! Bicycle enthusiasts will also enjoy the relatively even plain of many trail routes. Getting to Whitney State Forest is easy and quick: From Springs Road take Lee’s Ridge Road to Whitney on your right.

Free parking is available for vehicles and horse trailers.

This article was written by Edda Berglund, co-founder of Clymb and Wyne. Clymb and Wyne members are passionate oenophiles with a love for nature, hiking and fellowship. They gather every 2nd Sunday of the month (all year- even in January). The creation of our group was in direct response to Boots n Beer- why should men have all the fun? Now, Boots n Beer and Clymb and Wyne are the “not-so-officially” Fauquier’s guys and gals hiking clubs. Both groups participate together in some hikes and supporting charitable events.

ARTS &Culture

beyond clay by rebekah grier

Creating beauty out of the “unlovely” is Lori Langford’s specialty. Both physically and emotionally, she takes the ugly and unimpressive and turns it into something exquisite and useful.

In 2007, Lori’s mother passed away suddenly, leaving Lori to struggle through an intense season of grieving.

Lori’s husband, knowing how much she loved to collect pottery, began to suggest she learn how to create pottery as something to fill her time.

After consistent denials to try, Lori finally bought her first bag of clay. She recreated a tray with the imprint of leaf.

“And I haven’t stopped,” said Langford.

Lori is a potter. She transforms uninspiring blocks of clay into some of the most lovely and meaningful pottery pieces in Virginia using only her hands and her kiln. Owner of Big Dog Pots Pottery in Marshall, VA, Lori’s handmade pottery pieces have new homes in countries all over the world, including Australia, Canada, and Mexico. She’s created dog bowls for AKC champions, Civil War replicas, and continues to expand her talents and offerings.

Despite a career that most people would consider artistic, Lori does not consider herself an artist. “I am not artistic. I am not an artist. The joke in my family is when I say, ‘here, let 22

me draw you a picture of what I’m talking about.’” A scientist at heart, a geologist by education, and an urban planner by trade, Lori has chosen an art form that still allows her to use her scientist’s curiosity in melting, mixing, and molding elements. “I’m all about melting things.”

Working in pottery now for the past six years, Lori adores being a potter and will even get jittery and uncomfortable if she’s away from it for more than two or three days. She usually spends between 40 to 60 hours a week in clay and is quite prolific. Her Etsy shop alone has had over 600 orders since 2009 and is what generates most of her international sales.

It was in 2009 that Lori left her 20-year career in urban planning to pursue her then-hobby. “This all came very late in my life. To find out that I’m actually able to do this is a huge ‘who knew’, because I never knew,” Lori said.

While Lori can, and does, make everything from small ornaments to cups to plates, she is by far most well known for her dog bowls – it’s even how she got the name, Big Dog Pots.

When her hobby started growing and she could no longer keep all the pieces she created, Lori began attending fine art shows as a way to find new homes for her items. An avid dog-lover,

most of the pieces she made were dog “pots.” She quickly became known as the “dog pot lady.”

Some time later, a customer in Canada contacted Lori. She wanted a custom dog bowl made for her Spaniel, Coco, that could keep Coco’s long ears out of the water and food in her bowls.

Working together on a design, Lori and the customer measured Coco’s snout and created a bowl that was just big enough to fit Coco’s snout, allowing her ears to drape over the sides. The Spaniel bowl was born.

“They have taken on a life of their own…[They’ve] really hit a chord with people,” Lori said. While this now-insanely popular design is named after the Spaniel, it works well for any long-eared dog and Lori has custom fit it to snouts of many varying sizes. Lori

has even made custom Spaniel bowls for the Master of the Hunt in Louisville, Kentucky and AKC Spaniel champions.

Describing how customers from all over the world have sent her photos of their dogs enjoying her bowls, Lori said, “It’s a thrill. It’s such a thrill to see animals using my bowls in far corners of the world. [We’re] making the world happier, one set of ears at a time.”

Another unique and popular item in Lori’s repertoire is her Civil War replica mugs. Lori described how during the Civil War, metal cups had to be melted down for weaponry. As a result, potters on both sides of the war started making clay mugs for the soldiers to use that were large enough for beverages as well as eating stew. Lori has found that her mugs are just as popular with the locals as with tourists who want something made from the area that is also reflective of the history.

“It’s been very interesting to see what my pieces have gone off in their own sort of way,” Lori said of her eclectic catalog of pieces and her surprise at which ones have become popular. Besides her most popular

24

and requested items, Lori creates a large amount of custom work. “We’ve had a lot of interesting requests that have come in through the door. And we’re always open to what people are interested in and if it’s in our skill set we’ll give it a go.”

Lori gives a lot of credit to the community for her current and future success. “We’ve been very well received. The community is very welcoming and excited.”

When Lori first opened Big Dog Pots Pottery, she only sold pottery.

Now, because of interest from the community, she offers classes, paint and glaze, studio time for other local potters, and most recently, fused glass.

“We’re not a one-shot place,” Lori said.

A generous community participant, Lori donates “whatever we can find in our budget and still pay the mortgage” to local non-profits such as the Middleburg Humane Society and Fauquier SPCA as well as other organizations and families in need. She also donates “comfort crosses,” small clay crosses made to fit in the palm of your hand, to help bring comfort to

those who are suffering a loss.

Because loss is something Lori understands. By courageously embracing and gently molding the unexpected season of grief from her mother’s passing, Lori has created an exquisite legacy of love and service that goes beyond mere blocks of clay.

Fauquier Health Paramedic Colleen Shanney Receives Fauquier Health Mercy Award

By Robin Earl Colleen Shanney, clinical technician in Fauquier Hospital’s Emergency Department, has received the 2015 Mercy Award for her service to Fauquier Hospital patients and the community.

The Mercy Award was established

by LifePoint Health in 2002 to honor the life of Scott Mercy, LifePoint’s founding chairman and CEO. Mercy Award nominees consistently go beyond the call of duty in serving patients, co-workers and the community. They demonstrate a level of commitment and caring that transcends the everyday; respect the individual in everything they do, and inspire others with compassion, dedication and a merciful spirit.

Shanney was nominated by a coworker with these words: “In addition to being an indispensable member of the Emergency Department team, Colleen is very active in the local community and dedicates an enormous amount of her time to public service. She has been a volunteer for the Red Cross and a volunteer firefighter and paramedic for the Warrenton Volunteer Fire Company for more than 15 years. In fact, it was this community service that inspired Colleen, when she was in her late 40s, to leave her career in finance to study to be a paramedic. She will tell you how much she liked helping people in the field and wanted to do more once she transferred their care to the hospital.

“Colleen leads by example on the front line of healthcare and her energy, enthusiasm and passion are infectious. Although she stands at just five feet tall, her presence is never missed. Colleen does not just do her work and go home; instead, her role at the hospital is an extension of her dedication and service to the community she calls home. You can’t help but want to do more, to be more, and to give back more when you are with Colleen.”

Dr. Michael Jenks, chairman of the Fauquier Hospital Emergency Department and medical director of the county’s Emergency Medical Services, said, “One of Colleen’s many strengths is the way she interacts with patients. She is a very strong, upbeat person and has a comfortable interaction style -- extroverted and positive.

26

She can joke with patients who are in a hard situation, and has a way about her that helps them to relax. They appreciate her competence, her confidence and her lively sense of humor. Patients sense immediately that they are in good hands and trust her to take good care of them.”

“Colleen approaches her EMS duties the same way she does everything else. She is very committed to the community and to her patients in the field. She loves teaching, volunteering her time to share her knowledge with others. As the medical director for EMS in the county, that matters to me. We need people that are committed to doing things right, and to teaching less experienced paramedics those lessons. Colleen has a lot of passion. In the ED, as well as on the EMS truck, she’s all in.”

Warrenton Fire Chief Samuel Myers weighed in about Shanney as well. “Colleen Shanney has been a member of our organization for over a decade and provides not only emergency medical services (EMS) to our community, but helps to oversee our operations and maintenance budget. She has been very involved with our EMS program, not only running emergency incidents to provide advanced life support, but she also ensures and helps with regular EMS training for our membership.”

William F. Carpenter III, LifePoint’s chairman and CEO, said, “The Mercy Award is the most important honor we recognize at LifePoint. It represents our culture and our mission of making communities healthier; it honors people, like Colleen, who go above and beyond to serve others.”

Shanney said, “I am overwhelmed and humbled to be receiving this award.

People who know me know that I am rarely speechless, but when I found out I was nominated, I was. I am blessed by my Maker to have been given the desire and ability to serve others. I am grateful for the support and love of my family, my firehouse family and my ED family in encouraging me to follow

Colleen Shanney, this year’s Mercy Award recipient, is a clinical technician in Fauquier Hospital’s Emergency Department, as well as a paramedic with the Warrenton Volunteer Fire Company. my passion and for being there for me when things get tough. This award is as much theirs as it is mine. Without each one of them, none of this would be possible. I love you all.

Thank you.”

Each LifePoint hospital – including Fauquier Hospital – chooses a Mercy Award recipient. Awardees from all hospitals will be honored at a companywide ceremony in Nashville, Tennessee this summer, where a LifePoint-wide Mercy Award recipient will be announced.

Always interested in educating the next generation of EMS hopefuls, Colleen Shanney has been a longtime instructor during Fauquier Hospital’s summer medical camps.

A New twist on all-american eats The Red, White & Blue Burger

by Rebekah Grier

There are few foods as American as beef. So in thinking about what we should eat to show our patriotism this Fourth of July, I concluded that there’s nothing more patriotic than burgers.

And when I think of burgers, I think of my husband.

My husband enjoys beef. I don’t think I’ve met a man who doesn’t.

Maybe the natural affinity for a hunk of red meat cooked over a fire has lingered from our less-civilized days.

Who knows?

When my husband and I were still 28

dating, I noticed that at any restaurant where black and blue burgers were served, Seth would order one. I was unfamiliar with this particular type of burger, but have since come to learn that it’s actually quite a popular recipe.

It’s also Seth’s favorite type of burger – I learned that, too.

A black and blue burger is typically a ground chuck patty seasoned with a generous amount of pepper or blackening seasoning and topped with blue cheese. The smoky, peppery flavor of the seasoning brings

out the earthy pungency of the blue cheese while everything is coated and mellowed-out by the fatty, rich flavor of the beef. It’s definitely a step up from a plain burger with a slice of American cheese (although there’s nothing wrong with that!).

While Seth loves red meat, he doesn’t typically eat a lot of it, so any situation where he does consume more than an average amount, is really saying something about the quality of that dish. Probably the only food experience that he loves to retell Broad Run Lifestyle

perfectly illustrates this point.

Right after Seth finished grad school in Chicago, his parents took him to dinner at a swanky American steakhouse to celebrate. Ordering the horseradish crusted strip steak, he took one bite, and then another, until the entire sixteen-ounce steak was gone.

This year, in honor of my husband, I have combined his two red meat favorites to bring you a twist on some all-American eats…The Red, White, and Blue Burger. The breakdown is as follows. The red comes from the 80/20 ground chuck. The white comes from the horseradish crust. And the blue comes from that funky cheese.

You may only be familiar with horseradish in tartar sauce, but as

illustrated in Seth’s steak story, it can also go really well with beef.

Horseradish has a unique flavor similar to wasabi and mustard – two foods that come from the same plant family.

Unlike other spicy foods, such as chili peppers, that are typically associated with heat, horseradish has a citrusytype of peppery spice that is “tasted” more in your sinuses rather than on your tongue – and no heat.

Blue cheese is one of those ingredients that is typically very polarizing, creating strong fans and strong haters. But blue cheese is really more of an umbrella category for a whole range of cheeses. The blue cheese family actually includes the popular Gorgonzola, Roquefort and

Stilton, among others - all ranging in their density, flavor, and pungency. One of the defining characteristics, however, of the blue cheese family is the bluegray or blue-green vein network of mold cultures. This harmless mold is partially responsible for that sharp, earthy pungency usually associated with cheeses in this family.

When you put these ingredients together for our Red, White, and Blue Burger, what you get is a luscious, fatty burger with notes of tangy creaminess from the cheese, cut through with bursts of a light spiciness from the horseradish.

Wave a flag, watch some fireworks, and eat this baby. It’ll have you singing a whole new anthem.

The Recipe Red, White, and Blue Burgers.

INGREDIENTS: For the Burger: 24 oz of 80/20 ground chuck (4, 6oz patties) ¾ teaspoon salt 1½ teaspoons pepper 1 cup crumbled blue cheese, lightly packed For the Horseradish Crust: 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons horseradish ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs ½ teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS: * (I chose to cook my burgers in a cast iron skillet, but you can also cook these burgers on a grill.)

1. Prepare the horseradish crust first so it has time to chil. Soften the butter and cream with a spoon in a medium-sized bowl. Mix in the horseradish, panko, and salt. Cover and chill in refrigerator until ready.

2. Heat your cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. While your pan is warming, mix together in a large bowl all the burger ingredients (your hands are really the best tools for this). Divide equally into four patties. Cook patties for no longer than 5 minutes on each side. Four minutes each side will yield a more medium-rare burger.

Makes 4 burgers.

3. When you’re almost done cooking your burger patties, make sure your top oven rack is in the top rack and turn your broiler on high. When the burgers are done cooking, pull out your butter-horseradish mixture. Place the burger patties in a shallow baking dish.

Working quickly, spread the mixture evenly on top of the four burgers. Place the burgers under the broiler until the “crust” is a golden brown. This process may only take a minute or two, so keep an eye on it.

4. When the burgers are done, put them together with a grilled or toasted bun, slice of juicy tomato, lettuce leaf and a smear of Dijon mustard.

Happy Fourth of July!

LIFTING YOUR

Spirits

Naked Mountain Winery Offering Pleasing Wines & Tranquil Setting - By Steve Oviatt Naked Mountain is one of the Commonwealth’s oldest wineries but has a surprisingly youthful face, energy and approach to winemaking.

Started in the mid-70’s by Bob and Phoebe Harper, Naked Mountain Winery gained a well-deserved reputation for excellence and as a tranquil oasis for a pleasant afternoon.

In 2005, the Harpers retired and began looking for someone to take over.

Five years later, Randy and Meagan Morgan, then from Gainesville, learned of the winery’s availability during a tasting and purchased it. Still in their 20’s and knowing little about making wine, the Morgans made it through their first year before hiring the also young, but experienced Seth Chambers as winemaker for the 2011 season. His success with that otherwise difficult vintage sealed his position at Naked Mountain.

One white wine of note is the

Petit Manseng, with its tropical notes and soft, creamy texture, making this a great salad and light dish wine.

The other is the Barrel Fermented Chardonnay, which is surprisingly soft and fruity and pairs well with various shellfish and vegetable dishes.

Red wine lovers will be pleasantly surprised by the Cabernet Franc, which is complex, with big, fruity overtones and pairs well with Lamb and other big dishes. The well-known Aerie Red blend is a big, hearty wine that lingers on the finish, also making it the perfect wine with big dishes.

Cigar, chocolate and cheese lovers will be pleased by the Soar II Port style wine, which comes in a larger bottle than expected and is the perfect end to a fine evening.

Picnics, kids and dogs are welcome, if supervised. And while you are encouraged to “Drink Naked”, please do it in the privacy of your home.

Randy, Meagan, and Morgan - Owners

Steve Oviatt is President of the Haymarket Gainesville Business Association and runs his own consulting business in addition to working for a number of local wineries. Steve Acknowledges that his daughter has taught him everything he knows about wine. He lives in Catharpin with his wife, Nancy.
