have their minds set on one thing, perfection. These ambitious students are determined to make sure their May performances go smoothly. On May 7th, 8th, and 9th the organization will be performing the musical Children of Eden. The Drama teacher, Mr. Warkentien, says that the musical has “a biblical plot that has a family standpoint.” The bio provided by Music Theatre International provides more insight about the play. “Based on the story of Genesis, the age-old conflict of parents and children takes the stage in this epic, heartfelt Stephen Schwartz musical.” Apparently, “Adam, Eve, Noah and the “Father” who created them deal with the headstrong, cataclysmic actions of their respective children.” Mr. Warkentien says his inspiration for promoting the performing arts in students comes from his own theatrical past. The drama teacher has participated in theatrical performances for most of his life and feels that

acting is his 6th sense. He claims that students, “can learn all about the world through theatre.” He cites physics and geometry as examples of non-theatrical subjects that he must use with when dealing with production aspects, such as prop design. The Theatre Department is comprised of a dedicated group of motivated individuals who take immense pride in their work. Junior Juliana Rogers says she’s been participating in the performing arts since she was 7 years old and that
being a part of the theatre program at Kettle Run has helped her develop confidence. Junior Casey Griffen states that Kettle Run has a great program with an inspiring director, and amazing peers. Freshman Abbey Darcy feels that she is motivated to be involved with the theatre program due to having great experiences with friends. As stated above, the performance dates are May 7th, 8th, and 9th, with tickets costing only $10. Everyone is encouraged to watch the performance.
Harrison Browning Premen is a Junior at Kettle Run High School (KRHS) and plays trumpet in both the KRHS Marching Band and Wind Ensemble. He is a member of the National Honor Society, Young Americans for Liberty, and the Model U.N. His interests include politics and international relations.

FURRY FRIENDS
DOG AT YOUR SERVICE Helping Humans In Every Day Life by Charlotte Wagner Service dogs are animals employed to assist people with varying disabilities and disorders. Many are trained to aid their owners with physical limitations whereas others help with conditions that are unseen to the naked eye. Service dogs are carefully selected, highly skilled, and extraordinarily trained partners who provide a wide range of jobs to help their owners in every day life. Increased employability, function, independence, and freedom are just some of the perks. The Americans with Disabilities Act defines a service animal as: “dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with
disabilities... Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability.” Selecting a Service Dog The process of acquiring a service dog begins by taking a look at the owner’s lifestyle and evaluating individual needs before committing to a prospective dog. What tasks will the dog have to perform? What
conditions will the dog be working in? What type of transport does the owner have? What types of activities does the owner partake in? How many hours a day will the dog be able to rest? A larger dog with great endurance would be an appropriate match for balance and physical assistance, whereas a smaller dog that travels easily may be more suitable as an alert dog for someone who frequently travels. General criteria related to size, grooming/maintenance, health, and appearance should all be within the owner’s capabilities. Once a handful of breeds or type has been established, further selection must be made based temperament. Drive, sociability, adaptability,
Cooper is a PTSD service dog. His jobs include indicating when people are approaching in close proximity, fetching medicine when out of reach, and alerting to nightmares.

mental soundness, and overall personality should work hand in hand with the tasks the dog will have to perform for it’s owner. Types of Service Dogs There are many roles service dogs may have, but most commonly they are employed to assist people with physical limitations, to alert for medical conditions, and provide psychological support. Physical Assistance Dogs Physical assistance dogs become an extension of their owners to compliment areas of sensory limitations. They assist individuals who utilize a wheelchair helping or have mobile restrictions by helping their owners getting dressed, fetching household items, opening doors, manipulating lights and carrying items. Aid in mobility through limited bracing and stabilization is also a common asset. Hearing dogs are trained to identify sounds unsuspecting to their owners for increased awareness. This may include indicating to alarms, sirens, phones, people calling their name, and timers. For those with lack of vision, seeing eye dogs are employed to assist in navigation around obstacles, through crowds, around stairs or curbs, and to find various objects. Medical Alert Dogs Medical alert dogs are skilled to sense a particular physiological crisis prior to the onset of a reactive episode. Some dogs have the natural ability to observe bodily changes, whereas others are specifically trained to indicate to alterations in the body. Diabetes alert dogs are used as tools to identify changes of low or high blood sugar levels. Providing early alerts means owners can take measures to regulate their blood glucose before imminent danger. Diabetes alert dogs can be trained to decipher variances in the blood using scent discrimination training. Similarly seizure detection dogs have the capability to warn people moments and even hours prior that a seizure may occur. These dogs are 10
usually very human-oriented and may use varying behaviors to indicate the onset of a seizure to their owner. Unlike diabetic assistance dogs, seizure dogs often possess a natural ability to detect the onset of an episode; a trait that has not yet been linked to specific breeding strategies. In some cases this skill can be trained using sweat samples from the owner; however varying degrees of effectiveness have been reported. Psychological Support Dogs Psych support dogs are increasingly employed as society becomes more aware of their impact on mental health and wellness. The expansion of their use is most notable in veterans and civilians experiencing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Dogs become multifunctional by acting as social barriers/ buffers, indicating oncoming anxiety/ panic attacks, providing mobility support, carrying supplies, fetching items when there is memory loss, medicine retrieves and reminds, redirection for mood stabilization, and disrupting night terrors. Autism assistance dogs provide an invaluable service to individuals and families living with autism. Dogs are specifically trained to provide children with physical safety, environmental awareness, and aid in social facilitation. These dogs give children and adults a sense of routine, consistency, reliance, and stability that enables a more independent life. Tasks to assist with individual needs are usually incorporated in their training. Service Dogs: Not for the Lazy or Faint of Heart! Service dogs may be acquired through a dedicated organization, or by hiring a private trainer. Work ethic, drive, endurance, trainability, social skills, and adaptability are often considered when selecting candidates. Regional and national organizations often specialize in producing their own stock through specialized breeding practices, but will also accept breeder donations, or suitable rescue dogs from shelters. Private trainers will often use similar criteria and take the owner’s individual needs into
One of the many skills service dogs have to learn is safely walking next to a cart with their owner while following directional commands. consideration before searching for a correct match. The training process through which a service dog goes is long, rigorous, time consuming, as well as long term financial and emotional investment. Local resident Jan M. has utilized a hearing dog to alert her of various sounds for the past 7 years. Her Labrador Retriever “Jetta” had completed rigorous training through a non-profit organization in Maryland before being paired with her owner at 4 years of age. After two knee replacements and many years of successful employment Jetta will be enjoying her old age in retirement from her daily duties as a working canine. In fall of 2014 owner Jan made the decision to attempt an alternate route and hire a private trainer to assist her in selecting and training a new hearing dog. Her new partner is “Abby”, an adolescent Labrador/ Pointer mix adopted from the Fauquier SPCA. Looking back Jan describes the selection process: “We had set up a check list and Abby met everything on it. How could this happen? I literally looked at the trainer and said, ‘I need to step back and look at this without the lovable, adorable pup looking me in the eyes.’ We drove down the road and stopped to talk. It was the right dog and I’ve no regrets.” Abby’s natural curiosity, sociability, desire to learn, biddability, energy, and drive during her evaluation made her an ideal candidate as a hearing dog.

Abby works on a settle down while Jan takes a moment to read labels. Reliable impulse control is one of the harder aspects of training public access skills. After 4 months of training Abby has learned basic obedience, public access skills, impulse control, and can indicate to various sounds including cell phones, timers, sirens, and alarms. Her owner agrees that “She is a great problem solver and often alerts me to new sounds we’ve not even taught her...they are just loud and she thinks I need to know about them.” Her training has consisted of bi-weekly private training lessons since December in addition to homework and practice sessions with her owner. When asked about the bigger challenges in training Jan explains “Some days it was like flying a kite”; she was not fully aware as to what all the training process entailed and how to accomplish goals, yet she remains grateful to have an experienced trainer who is willing to train the human alongside the dog. Impulsive puppy behavior and pulling was especially frustrating at the beginning. Assistance dogs are an invaluable asset, however we cannot forget that they are living,
breathing, beings who require our patient guidance to mature into successful workers. Jan has learned from her experience: “these dogs are not robots, they are animals”. As their trainer watching Jan and Abby transform from the bare essentials to a beautifully choreographed team has been an absolute joy. I am constantly blown away by Jan’s work ethic, determination, and passion while observing Abby’s natural ability, intuition, and drive to work for and with her owner. I believe Jan puts it best “training your own service dog is not for the lazy or faint of heart” and I could not agree more. Many hours of frustration, sweat, tears, enlightenment, and joy are still to come before Abby is a a full time service dog; but the work put in has paid ten fold in progress and outcome. Therapy and Emotional Support Dogs Unlike service dogs who are task trained, the sole purpose of therapy and emotional support dogs is to provide comfort. Therapy dogs are often certified through an organization that sets forth training standards and code of conduct in order to pursue volunteer visits. Owners may take their dogs for other people’s enjoyment to assisted living communities, group homes, psychotherapy facilities, or to help motivate people undergoing physical therapy and rehabilitation. In some cases therapy dogs are used to help build confidence in children learning how to read and help increase social skills. Emotional support animals are pets who provide comfort and psychological aid to disabled owners. They are not required to have any type of training and could be of different species. The Americans with Disabilities Act states “Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA”; however the Fair Housing Act
does allow housing of these pets in otherwise restricted residential areas. The Public And Service Dogs There has been much controversy surrounding service dogs as an increasing number of fraudulent claims are made to pass pets as working animals. Business owners need to be aware that service dogs have the right to access public areas and that only certain questions may be asked to inquire about the dog. According to the ADA these include: Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Unfortunately there is no nationally recognized designation for assistance animals causing miscommunication and conflict for some service dog owners and businesses. Service animals can be asked to leave a premises if the owner is unable to control their dog, or the dog is not house broken. It is important for the public to respect legitimate working animals and not to disturb owners when out in public. In some cases the dogs are used as a social buffer, whereas in others the dog is continuously working for the owner and should not be distracted from it’s job. Service dogs should wear a vest or cape to identify themselves and will often have a patch reading “DO NOT TOUCH” in order to prevent the public from interaction. It is also important to ensure that children are made aware of the role a service dog performs and to practice restraint around working animals. It is important to take individual needs and expectations into consideration before committing to the rigorous process of owning and training a service dog. Employing this aid helps decrease an individuals dependence on family, friends, and those around them, while increasing confidence and control. With the correct match, it can be an invaluable asset to a variety of people who would otherwise be limited.

THE SHOE DOCTOR
Resole America – synonyms: fix, furbish up, mend, touch on, repair, bushel
by Danica Low Slipped back behind the epicenter (Aiken Drive) of Vint Hill, a bunny’s hop from Old Bust Head Brewery, and adjacent to a private Christian school – Providence Christian Academy, sits a quiet shoe repair shop. Perhaps so anonymous as to be easily missed without very clear directions (more than a GPS can provide), the Resole America headquarters is located down a pipe-stem off of Watson Court. Its camouflage is in major contrast to its leadership in the national shoe repair industry and its surmounting partnerships with multi-million dollar footwear companies across the globe. What once began as a small mom-andpop shop in California when one young artistic college student was searching for a career path, has turned into a very lucrative global enterprise for president and founder, John Bradley and his business partner, Edwin Hererra – quietly operating in the business district in Vint Hill. Perhaps, more newsworthy, is that now this global company with strongholds in the resoling business overseas and across America, is shifting its growth strategy to entice Fauquier residents to use its services as well. “We want to focus on people in the 14
Fauquier region who are interested in resoling their better grade boots and shoes,” says Mr. Bradley. Resole America theoretically originated in 1972, when Mr. Bradley moved out to California after a year in architecture school at Syracuse University. He met “a guy who was in the resole business” who then became his business partner, and they soon were repairing 800 pairs of shoes a day. (This partner, Rory Fuerst, eventually founded the well-known Keen Footwear in 2003, which distributes shoes to thousands of U.S. locations and worldwide. A report from 2011 shows that Keen’s revenue had grown to approximately $240 million.) After five years in business with Mr. Fuerst, Mr. Bradley became a sales representative for
a sporting goods business. As time went by, he learned more and more about the footwear and athletic footwear industries. He still regards Mr. Fuerst highly and the two remain close – “He is my inspiration,” he says. In 1986, Mr. Bradley moved from California to Maryland and officially incorporated his business, Resole America. He eventually settled the business into the heart of Vint Hill, in the Old Bust Head Brewery building, in 2002. Every weekday for the last 13 years, Mr. Bradley has commuted from his home in Maryland to Fauquier County. Why Fauquier County? He says, “I was drawn to the simplicity, the quiet. It is very serene out here.” “We enjoy the challenge from a business perspective – securing deals with name brand companies means that we are bringing more jobs to more people. Our goal is not to do more shoes a day, but to make a difference for people,” he says. For many years, Resole America had resole-order cards in every pair of Rockports sold in the U.S. He does very little marketing, yet his reputation is wide and strong. He leverages this solid reputation to help others, always having a keen eye for opportunity – by way of business and by way of community contribution. It is this spirit of generosity and a desire to be in business to do more than make a good profit that drives Mr. Bradley to do more. His latest project is called “Heal Team Six” and its mission is to set up a veteran in every state to do resole work. “I want to give veterans jobs. I can teach them the art and skill of resoling and the basics of the business in-house, and get them started to work from their homes. We can get them the machinery they need, and if they’d rather do the marketing for us instead, we can set them up to do that too.” Although Resole America has lucrative partnerships with footwear manufacturers and shoe retailers around the

world – such as Birkenstock, Sperry, Nordstrom, Clarks, Rockport, Frye, and SiDi motorcycle boots to name a few – ninety percent of its business comes from mail-order customers. The simplicity of Fauquier that this business executive is drawn to, may be the same desire for simplicity he has instilled in Resole America’s mail-order processes. Its Website (www.resoleamerica.com) shares the tag-line “we fix shoes for busy people,” and illustrates the ease for mail-order customers: 1) find your favorite shoes, 2) put them in the mail, 3) get them back soon. They mail the customer the shipping package, the mailing label, and five-step simple instructions on how to send and expect delivery. “People that spend over $100 on a pair of shoes should maintain them,” says Mr. Bradley. “A great fit is hard to come by.” He describes his target market for this mail-order segment of his business to be those who invest in their footwear, such as lawyers, hikers, outdoorsmen, equestrians, motorcyclists, business professionals, and athletes. With some local ties, Resole America is currently working on a refurbishing order of police officer dress uniform shoes for Culpeper County. A staff of eleven operates the business office and repair shop, producing an average of 100 pairs of shoe repairs and resoles per day, Monday through Friday. This factors in mail-orders from individuals and groups, as well as large bulk orders from shoe manufacturers. “On average, each Resole America staffer resoles between 15-20 pairs per day,” Mr. Bradley says. Sometimes, larger orders come in and production is amped up. Resole America just received an order for 6,500 pairs of new baseball cleats to be inspected, and 6,000 pairs to be refinished, after they arrived from China and the manufacturer noted an error in production. Resole America will work diligently over the next five weeks to inspect and repair these 12,500 pairs of cleats and distribute them to the U.S. retail locations they were intended for. This is a win-win for the global footwear manufacturer and for Resole America, as Mr. Bradley saves the manufacturer shipping costs and time-to-market delays that would have cost them big if the shoes had to be sent back to China to be inspected and repaired. “No one is doing anything like we’re doing on the East Coast, much less in Virginia,” says Mr. Bradley. The creative side of his business has drawn a large following. Several years ago, Mr. Bradley began adding an element of art and design to the trade of resoling. 16
Resole America, John Bradley, president/owner He has branded his shoe creations and trademarked the name “Hybridiculous” (www.facebook.com/hybridiculous). In essence, you can send him any athletic shoe – running shoe, cleat, golf shoe, anything without a street shoe bottom – and Resole America will resole for everyday wear. For avid athletic shoe wearers who are looking for an edge (“shoe-dogs”), or for the sake of notable athletic achievements that want to be displayed and shared with others (marathon shoes!), you don’t have to put those running shoes or cleats away. Their work can be viewed on the Hybridiculous Website at www.hybridiculous.com or on its Facebook page. Mr. Bradley has a pair of the limited edition 2002 chrome Mercurial Vapors as worn by Brazilian Ronaldo in the World Cup in his office that have been resoled for everyday wear. (And I saw some tie dyed Birkenstock sandals when I visited the resoler that were pretty awesome too.) “We are a busy, team-based close-knit organization,” says Mr. Bradley. “We work together to get a job done. Everyone has a specialty, but everyone works together to complete all components of an order.” And that includes Mr. Bradley himself, who is hands-on in the trade he loves. His
passion for this industry runs deep and is felt when his smile flashes in excitement at the mention of production, global reach, community service, and his ability to give back. It cannot be overlooked upon meeting this business owner, that Mr. Bradley is a real entrepreneur, an experienced businessman with a strong work ethic, and a drive to keep upping the creative bar in his industry. He is a “think-outside the box” kind of guy who has pushed the envelope and gained enormous market share. High-level retail outlets like Nordstrom refer their clients to Resole America. In 2011, Resole America was part of the team that produced the “Carrier Classic” - the first ever basketball game fundraiser for Wounded Warriors on an active carrier, which President Obama attended. Mr. Bradley has an awareness for global business and how to play in the big leagues, as he has done so for many years. But, walk into the shop that he and Mr. Hererra own, and find him with his hands on a turn wheel and a work mask on his face, and you see the epitome of Fauquier’s work ethic in his eyes. A man and a business to be trusted…even with your expensive shoes. Broad Run Lifestyle

Give Local Piedmont by Crystal McKinsey
If you teach a nonprofit to fish… I’ll never forget the first time I spoke with Cole Johnson. She called the office one day in early February 2014. I’d heard of the organization she represented, the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation (NPCF), but I knew little about it other than that it existed in our community. Cole’s voice—part overjoyed, part overwhelmed and brimming with urgency—instantly grabbed my attention. She clearly had something important to share, but I wasn’t sure whether it was good news or bad. The story Cole proceeded to tell was far more interesting - and positive - than anything my mind cooked up during the first few seconds of that conversation. 18
Cole had an idea. A big idea. She wanted to bring a nationwide, annual day-of-giving initiative to the four counties NPCF serves. Mind you, we were in late February at this point. The annual day of giving was slated for just two months down the road: May 6, 2014. Pulling this off effectively would be a major fete. The discourse with Cole reminded me of lessons Dr. Snyder, Founder of Verdun Adventure Bound in Rixeyville, Virginia, has reiterated to me in many a conversation. Doc has a lot of insight to share, but his lessons on the journey from “the me, to the we, to the one” have always resonated above all else. It didn’t take long for me to realize that Cole was well into “the one.” If anyone could take an idea and
transform it into one shared vision and mission in our community, it would be Cole Johnson. And, yes, I’d volunteer to help. The beginning… Summer 2013: online giving platform Kimbia in collaboration with the Council on Foundations (the nation’s leading nonprofit association of grant making organizations), announces that Tuesday, May 6 will become the inaugural nationwide online giving day. Dubbed “Give Local America,” the founding parties envisioned the event would “transform grassroots philanthropy in the United States by inspiring more people than ever before to give to community foundations and the nonprofits they support.” Broad Run Lifestyle
Cole remembers receiving an email about the giving day movement from Kimbia and initially thinking, “what an incredible opportunity…for big cities.” But then she thought, “forget big cities, our region is full of big hearts. Why not a ‘Give Local Piedmont?’” It took some planning, strategy and gumption, but over the next few months, Cole personally endeavored to secure Board support for participating in a digital initiative that was not only somewhat forward thinking and progressive—it was the first-ever nationwide online day of giving! Recruiting & Teaching… There are hundreds of nonprofits in the Piedmont region. Most operate on shoestring budgets; many have no formal resource development plan in place. No surprise, then, that the opportunity to participate in a structured day of giving backed by their local community foundation yielded swift and enthusiastic responses from local nonprofits. A total of 107 nonprofits in Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock counties stepped up. Training these nonprofits on the semantics and operational details of the program was only one part of the opportunity, however. Perhaps the greater opportunity was the training NPCF offered in conjunction with Give Local America leading up to the event. Nonprofits had the opportunity to learn about using social media to bolster their fundraising efforts. They learned best practices for online fundraising and talked about how they could convert short-term “giving day hype” into long-term donor retention. Rallying the community… Speaking of hype, there was no shortage of it leading up to May 6. Many local media outlets generously
provided space for ads, radio spots and public service announcements. Yard signs, car magnets, flyers and banners popped up across the Piedmont region as suddenly and noticeably as spring daffodils. Meanwhile, the individual nonprofits were busy cultivating their donor databases and working to inspire their organizational supporters to give. In April, the Fauquier Health Foundation graciously announced it would match up to $100,000 in Give Local Piedmont gifts. The news garnered additional media attention and further helped to propel interest and awareness. I remember Cole and I taking a deep breath and rejoicing in the fact that this day was now officially on the regional radar. Pins and needles… Despite the fact that 107 nonprofits would be participating, behind the scenes, we were still a little nervous about what would actually happen on May 6. We had no baseline for comparison. It was similar to that feeling you get when you throw party that doesn’t require an R.S.V.P., and five minutes from the published start time, nobody is there. This particular party started at 12:00AM on May 6, and it took no time to realize that everything was going to be just fine. Donations started coming in immediately! As the day went on, Cole was hunkered down in her “war room” at the State Theatre in Culpeper and I was, well, multitasking. You see, last May 6 was also Election Day and in addition to volunteering with Give Local Piedmont, I’d volunteered to run a candidate’s campaign for a seat on the Warrenton Town Council. I remember bringing up the giving leaderboard in the conference room at the office and going back and forth between phone calls with the
candidate and posting giving updates on Facebook for what seemed like hours on end. When all was said and done, the inaugural Give Local Piedmont campaign raised $675,069.27 for nonprofits across Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock counties. About half of those 107 nonprofits play roles in Fauquier County. (And yes, the candidate won the election.) Our region’s event raised more than any other Give Local event in the state of Virginia, remarkable given that Give Local Piedmont’s population was the smallest among those participating. In fact, Give Local Piedmont was among the top 20 in the nation for dollars raised during the event. The lasting benefit… The greatest success in all of this, however, is far more substantial than than the number of participating nonprofits and impressive amount of money raised in a single 24-hour period. By bringing the nonprofits into the program, Cole Johnson and the NPCF taught them how to fish. Those lessons live on far beyond any single event, and are sure to play a role in propelling the Give Local Piedmont initiative across the million-dollar mark this year. The road ahead… So what does the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation do for an encore? Raise the bar, that’s what. This year’s goal is a cool $1 million. The Fauquier Health Foundation is already on-board with a gift of $100,000. This annual giving day is Tuesday, May 5. Let’s help make it the most fruitful one yet for the Piedmont region.

Honey Bees
WHAT’S ALL THE BUZZ? by Debbie Eisele
Photo by Steve Hall, Fauquier County Master Gardener 20
Plain and simple, honey bees are crucial to growing the food everyone eats. In recent years, honey bee populations are declining. Think about honey bees from this perspective: No bees = No summer picnics with watermelon No bees = No zucchini bread No bees = No pickles No bees = No pumpkin carving in the fall, or pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving dinner. “Our world population is increasing; more land is being used for crops. Bees of all kinds will be necessary for many of those crops to be productive. We may enjoy the honey that honey bees bring us but the most important task of them is the pollination of food crops, either for the fruits and vegetables we eat, or for producing the seeds needed to sow the fields for crops. However food crops alone cannot sustain the bee population. Bees need their own sources of food: plants that supply pollen for protein and nectar for carbohydrates.” Ann W. Harman eloquently stated. And, Ann would know. She is an Eastern Apicultural Society Certified Master Beekeeper and has spent part of her life as a research chemist and honey bees have created a second career for her as a consultant. She teaches short courses and lectures at beekeeping association meetings. Her hives now
serve as teaching hives, not only for beekeepers, but also for the youth in our region. “The bees need food when crops are not blooming. Furthermore bees need variety in their diet, just as humans do. In many areas bee forage is decreasing at a time when we need more honey bees for crop pollination. Flowers growing wild provide their food. But when crops are planted to the edges of roads and hedgerows are cleared, bee forage is limited. Vast areas of grass on highway verges and medians, as well as in housing developments, do not provide the necessary variety of food bees need to survive. The preservation of pollinators is of concern today. Everyone can help by planting flowers useful to bees and by encouraging towns, cities and states to replace grass with bee-useful plants,” So, why are the honey bee populations declining? According to Tim Ohlwiler, Fauquier County Virginia Cooperative Extension Horticulture Agent and Ann Harman, the overall decline has a definite set of signs and includes Colony Collapse Disorder. The reason for the decline in the honey bee population is not caused from just one particular thing, rather several contributing factors. Some of the concern is over fungal infections and viral infections Broad Run Lifestyle

(which the bees obtain from parasites). Additionally, predators are of concern. Honey bees have two types of predators – bears and mites. The mites will actually spread viruses to honey bees, and since there is no medicine to help, a colony can be destroyed. Scientists have found that the viruses are more serious than the actual mites. Bears, believe it or not, aren’t just going into the hive for honey. They are actually seeking protein for their diet and find it in the form of the bee larvae, located in the hives. Ann Harman described what happened to a fellow beekeeper, “a friend of mine had a bear neatly stack the boxes with the honey off to the side and destroyed the rest of the hive in order to eat the honey bee larvae.” Pesticides also pose a significant risk to the honey bees. Pesticides that are used on farms, gardens and homes are of major concern, even if the intended target of the pesticide is not a honey bee. One honey bee can bring the pesticide back to the hive and it can destroy the entire colony. The Extension Office informs county residents that they should know about the product they are using to kill pests around their homes and gardens. New labeling of pesticides can assist homeowners in learning what to do or use in areas where bees may forage or live. “Read and follow the label on any pesticide that is used. This is the LAW,” Tim Ohlwiler stated. Why are honey bees so important? The local Virginia Cooperative Extension Office has educated many on the fact that honeybees are vital to the pollination process of our food supply. “What an amazing creature. We can load a hive of thousands of bees onto a truck and take them from field to 22
Photo by Steve Hall, Fauquier County Master Gardener orchard, to field and so on up the coast over the growing season. They pollinate crops all along the way and produce honey for us too”, says Tim. How can Fauquier County residents help? It’s simple. One or all of these suggestions can start making a difference within our county and help support our local food supply. Plant native trees, shrubs and flowers. Here is an interesting fact: honey bees will venture, on average 3-5 miles from their hives to obtain their food and at the same time assist with pollination. It is important for local areas, especially around crops, gardens and orchards to provide bees with food. For a comprehensive listing of flowers, trees and shrubs that are an excellent source of nutrients for the bees check out Piedmont Environmental Council’s 2015 edition of “Go Native, Go Local” guide (just released) and lists available on The Virginia Native Plant Society’s website (www.vnps.org). Additionally, the extension office, located at 24 Pelham Street, has a designated demonstration garden filled with native plants, which the public may visit. Become a volunteer to plan, develop and care for native plantings in the local landscape, such as medians or public open spaces. Talk to local Town and County officials to see what can be implemented in terms of planting natives in other public areas. Native
plants offer low maintenance and natural habitat options. Become a beekeeper or attend classes to learn more about bees. Education is offered from the Northern Piedmont Beekeepers Association and the Prince William Beekeepers Association. The key to success is often in having a mentor or two. Beekeeping is fun and exciting. Just ask Kae Yowell, Head Gardener at Airlie. She is an enthusiastic beginner beekeeper at Airlie’s Local Food Project apiary. She often works with her two mentors, Louise Edsall from Sweet Virginia Foundation and German Perilla, Director of the George Mason Honey Bee Initiative. When discussing her role as a beekeeper and the roles of her mentors she animatedly said, “German and Louise have helped spark the desire to pursue beekeeping.” Ann Harman also states that mentors for beekeepers are essential in the beginning stages of starting your own hive. After spending time with bee enthusiasts such as Ann or Kae, most individuals will leave with a greater appreciation for the honey bee’s important role in our food supply. Remember, honey bees are friends, not foes. Help keep their “buzz” going. They are crucial workers in our food supply, as are all the farmers who grow and tend the crops.

History
Haymarket Museum, changing with the times Local history will be shared using new media resources by John T. Toler The Haymarket Museum, located at 15025 Washington Street, will open its 2015 season on May 2 with a special exhibit, “Food and Farming in the Piedmont Region.” This is a collaborative effort with The Turn the Mill Around Campaign, owners of the ChapmanBeverley Mill site at Thoroughfare Gap. This exhibit is especially appropriate, since for over 100 years farmers from Western Prince William County brought their grains to the mill to be ground and processed. The exhibit, featuring artifacts and vintage photographs, runs through May 31. Regular museum hours are Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and by appointment. The director of the Haymarket Museum is Denise Hall, who started working for the Town of Haymarket in administration at Town Hall about three years ago. She was later appointed Museum Director, and on Jan. 1, 2015, she assumed added responsibilities as Haymarket’s Main Street Coordinator, reporting to Town Manager Brian Henshaw. Ms. Hall, who lives just outside of Haymarket, holds a degree in Speech Communication with a concentration in broadcast journalism from George Mason 24
University, and has completed several hours in Art History classes. The museum is also staffed by four volunteers, who keep the museum open on weekends: Tina Morgan, Danielle Kijewski, Jeanne Goldfarb and Ernest Dalby, all of whom are local residents. They serve as docents and assist with research on exhibits. “We are always seeking additional volunteers,” said Ms. Hall. During the past winter, work has been done on the building in order to preserve it. “Last December, we had a new metal roof put on the building, which should last for the next 100-150 years,” notes Ms. Hall.
A truly historic site
According to the survey done for the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission in the 1970s, planning for the structure now housing the museum began in late 1883, when the Haymarket Town Council “…reported that $561 had been raised to build a combination school house and town hall, $411 by subscription and $150 from an oyster supper. Council elected a board of trustees and instructed them to make the necessary arrangements.” Thomas Smith, John Reid and Eppa

1: The Gainesville-Haymarket Fire Department was one located in the middle of the town; today, the fire company’s sign hangs from the wall in the museum. 2: The original doors from the pharmacy/post office across Washington Street have been restored, and are on permanent display at the Haymarket Museum. 3: Museum Director Denise Hall explains how vintage draft animal harness was used many years ago. Hanging on the wall behind her is a painting done by Mary Dulany Carter of a memorable horse race that took place at Haymarket in 1804. 4: Relics from some of Haymarket’s old stores and some vintage personal items are on display in a cabinet in the museum. Hunton donated a lot at the corner of Washington and Fayette streets, and the School Board agreed to provide $150 worth of furniture for the new school. Completed in 1884 by contractor Will Shirley, it was the first two-story schoolhouse built in Prince William County. It was used as a school until 1910, when the larger Haymarket School was built at the end of North Fayette Street. No longer needed as a school, over the years the building has served as a polling place for elections, a lending library, the meeting place for the Haymarket Women’s Club, the town hall, and office of the town constable and police. A major fire in 2002 forced the town to move their offices across Washington Street to space in the old Gossom’s Hardware Store, where they are today. The former town hall building was repaired, and reopened later that year as the Haymarket Museum. Ms. Hall notes that while the old building had served many different purposes over the years, it was never used as a church. “A lot of people think that it was once a church, because we have a steeple and bell tower,” she said. “But it 26
was not a church.” The Haymarket Museum came about largely due to the efforts of the Haymarket Historical Commission, led by the late Sarah M. Turner. Funding to convert the building to a museum came from donations and other sources, and volunteers provided staffing. Others involved in running the museum in the past include Ellie Ivancic and Fran Marie Jancito. The original mission of the museum – to educate residents of the Haymarket community and the surrounding areas about the unique history of the town – has not changed, and will become even more significant as new projects are undertaken and exhibits created. Currently, planning is underway for an exhibit about the historic structures in the town. Ms. Hall stresses that the museum is opened for visits by students and other groups, and is a logical field trip destination for area schools, especially for fourth grade Virginia history studies. “That’s something we are working on,” she said. “Reaching the fourth graders in the Haymarket area – actually, all schoolage groups – is something we definitely want to do.”
Variety of events
The museum was open for Haymarket’s Earth Day observance in April, and will participate in Haymarket’s Health and Fitness Day on June 27, and the annual Haymarket Day on Sept. 19. On Dec. 5, the museum will again hold its Haymarket Holiday Party. The Regency Model Railroad Club returns to the museum again this year, bringing its “Salute to the Railways” exhibit, which will run from June 6-28. The restored 1974 Norfolk Southern caboose next to the museum will be open to visitors during regular hours. “We reached out to Norfolk Southern last year and they sent us brochures, but we are hoping they will do more this year,” said Ms. Hall. “I would eventually like to build it up to some type of railroad excursion, like they do in Manassas as part of their huge railroad exhibit.” Growing appreciation of Haymarket’s history is evident in the recent renovation of the nearby Hulfish House, now a retail store, and the old pharmacy/post office building across Washington Street from the museum, which now houses a real estate agency.

Haymarket Museum A caboose donated to the Town of Haymarket by Norfolk Southern Railroad sits next to the museum, a reminder of the influence the railroad has had on the town. According to Ms. Hall (pictured), the caboose was cleaned up and painted by volunteers, and is open for visitors during museum hours. War Sesquicentennial helped establish Haymarket as a tourist destination, and long-term projects like the brick sidewalks are making the town a “walk-able” place to visit as well. Ms. Hall, thinking as both the museum director and Main Street coordinator, sees the museum someday becoming a “welcome center” for the town, providing information about local businesses, restaurants and what’s going on in Haymarket. “Eventually, we would like to expand, but being mostly volunteer, we would have to work our way up to that point,” said Ms. Hall.
Growing online presence
The Haymarket Museum has had an Internet Website for several years, which includes links to a range of interesting historical topics. Found on the site is a history of the town from the 18th century through the Civil War; articles about several historic structures; a “People” link with articles about prominent citizens and a useful surname directory; maps of Haymarket from 1787 to 1958; and links to 14 Prince William County Websites (including Haymarket Lifestyle magazine and the Ruth E. Lloyd Information Center) and five Commonwealth of
Virginia Web sites of historic interest. Plans are currently in the works to update the Website, and increase outreach through social media, including text messages and photos on Facebook and Twitter. “Even when the museum is not open, people will have access to what is inside the museum, through pictures and slides,” Ms. Hall explained. Acai mobile information creation software will be used. During the Civil War Sesquicentennial, postings were sent out daily about events that took place in Haymarket during the war. Ms. Hall and her volunteers do the posting, and photographs are routinely included in the posts.
