Outreach

CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH

by Josie Geiger

Would you be shocked if we told you that there will be more than 600 abused and neglected children in our communities this year? Would it outrage you to know that these are the children of Prince William, Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties? It’s happening to children in our neighborhoods.

By now you are probably upset. There is something that can be done.

CASA CIS, which stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate Organization Children’s Intervention Services, provides advocates for the abused, neglected and abandoned children of our communities. The advocates are specially trained community volunteers appointed by Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court Judges to speak in the best interest of abused and neglected children that are before the court.

The advocate’s focus is this child throughout the entire court process, from the beginning through to reunification with their parent or until a new permanent home can be found.

Imagine the abused, neglected or abandoned child that must then go through lengthy court proceedings and potentially be placed in a temporary home with strangers. How scared, lonely, worried and even depressed these children might be!

Advocates do not work with more than three children or two sibling groups at one time, allowing more time to devote to these children during particularly needy times.

Last year the CASA CIS advocates of our area devoted 14,406 hours toward helping these most vulnerable children.

They made 3,386 visits to the children to help insure their continued safety and attended 3,461 meetings and interviews to facilitate the best possible outcome with a safe, permanent home.

The first volunteer court appointed special advocate program serving abused and neglected children was organized in 1977 in King County, Seattle, Washington.

The first advocates were called Guardian ad Litems (GAL’s).

Because some state statutes, including Virginia, require the GAL’s to be an attorney, the term Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) was coined to denote volunteers from the local community who had been trained to serve as advocates for the children in court proceedings.

In 1986 the CASA program was brought to Virginia. In 1990, the General Assembly enacted legislation providing for the statewide implementations of the CASA program, with responsibility for the oversight of the CASA assigned to the Department of Criminal Justice. In May 1992, Judge Janice J. Wellington of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court called a task force together to implement the CASA program in the Greater Prince William County area in response to the large number of child abuse and neglect cases reported in our county. By April of 1994, the first group of (8) volunteer advocates were sworn in. The first case in Prince William County assigned an advocate was in January of 1995. One of those original (8) Prince William volunteer advocates was Charlyn Hasson-Brown. She has been serving as the Executive Director of CASA CIS since 1998.

Currently CASA CIS serves the 31st Judicial District (Greater Prince William County) and the 20th Judicial Districts (comprised of Fauquier, Loudoun and Rappahannock Counties). In the current fiscal year CASA will have 150 specially trained advocates, who are volunteers casa continued on page 8

from the community, working with about 600 abused, neglected or abandoned children.

CASA CIS is a non-profit organization relying completely on donations and grants. The number of children for whom the Judges of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court have been appointing CASA Advocates has risen for 6 consecutive years. The annual average growth has been 9%, but this year the organization is experiencing a 32% increase in the number of abused children who need an advocate. To meet this demand, the need for specially trained advocate will have to rise to 200. For every 30 advocates, Virginia regulations require that CASA CIS maintain a full-time staff supervisor. The cost for CASA CIS to provide an advocate for one year is $1,200 per child. Consider how you may help CASA CIS to help these children, among our community’s most vulnerable citizens.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. April brings with it many opportunities to help CASA. ● Blue Ribbon Business - CASA is asking retail and service businesses to consider being a Blue Ribbon Business in April to help raise the much needed funding to hire additional staff so that no child victim will be refused an advocate and the opportunity for the best possible outcome after the trauma of their experience.

Businesses interested in being a “Blue Ribbon Business to Prevent Child Abuse” should contact the CASA office at 703-330-8145 and the staff will help to customize your partnership against child abuse for April. ● RETRO PARTY, CASA’s 12th annual spring fundraiser will be held Saturday, April 27th from 7 to 11 PM at the Harris Pavilion in Old Town Manassas. This event draws more than 500 people dressed in 60’s, 70’s and 80’s attire. Two local bands; Type A Band and Shake It Up will be playing some of the best dance music from those eras. The evening will start with a Krazy Karaoke Kontest at 7. Purchase tickets, reserve tables and sign up for Karaoke online at www.casacis.org. ● Meadows Farms Nurseries will have a “Day of Hope” on April 6th with all 22 of their locations asking patrons for a donation for CASA and as a thank you for the donation, Meadows Farms will take 10% off your spring purchase. Throughout the month of April, their five locations in the service area, Warrenton, Manassas, Woodbridge, Chantilly and Reston will have a “Garden of Hope”. Patron’s making their annual spring garden purchases can plant a little hope when they make a donation to CASA and receive the 10% off from Meadow’s Farms. A personalized donor plant tag will be planted in the garden to “Help a Child Bloom” with every donation. ● Four Person Scramble Golf Tournament sponsored by WestRash Charities will benefit CASA and Children’s National Medical Center on April 20th. To sign up to play in the tournament go to www.westrashcharities.org.

Get funky with CASA members on April 27th for their annual RETRO PARTY to help raise funds and awareness for the organization.

Beyond April, you can help CASA by attending an event, becoming an advocate or donating: ● Evening Under the Stars, CASA CIS’s 15th annual fall fundraiser will be held Saturday, September 14th from 7 to 11 PM at the Harris Pavilion in Old Town Manassas. More than 1000 people will attend this black tie optional event. The event offers the sounds of Doc Scantlin and the Imperial Palms Orchestra with Chou Chou and the Girlfriends singing and dancing in period costumes of the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. This year’s event tickets and sponsorships will be highly sought after and will go quickly given that last year’s event was cancelled due to damaging storms. Get your sponsorship and tickets early. ● Become an Advocate – CASA CIS has currently taking application for volunteer advocates to attend the next specialized advocate training. ● Donate – call (703) 330-8145 or visit CASA CIS at www.casacis.org. The website offers several donation options. All donations make a difference and are gratefully accepted. As a 501c3, non-profit organization, chances are your donations are tax deductible. Ask your personal tax accountant for details.

PROJECT BUDBURST As gardeners, we all contribute to the health and well being of our planet but on a relatively small scale. Project BudBurst is an opportunity for each of us to be important contributors to a massive and enduring study. The National Ecological Observatory Network – NEON, and the Chicago Botanic Garden are collecting and evaluating data on climate change by studying the cycles of plants.

Three people were instrumental in creating the initial database. Henry Thoreau, in Concord Massachusetts, spent six years recording the flowering dates of 500 plant species. Thoreau inspired Alfred Hosmer, a shopkeeper, to record the flowering times of 700 species from 1878 to 1902. Pennie Logemann, a landscape designer, recorded 250 plants between 1963 and 1993. Studying the information from these three sets of records and comparing it to what we can observe today allows us to see which plant species have changed their cycle times and which have not. Then we can see how this adapting/non-adapting is affecting each plant’s endurance.

It is a fact that temperatures have risen almost 4 degrees in the last 150 years. It has been found that 60 percent of the plants Thoreau recorded are now extinct in that area or very scarce. Plants that have adapted to temperature change by blooming earlier are surviving better than ones that are stubbornly holding on to the bloom time they have always had.

The Project Budburst website allows you to pick one or more plants to observe and record from a list specific to Virginia. You can choose to do a onetime observation or choose to submit data regularly over several seasons, even years. If you don’t have any of the plants on the list I am sure there is a park or a public planting near you that will have something you would like to keep track of. I chose a Dogwood and a Chokecherry because they are both near my creek and an easy walk. Choices on the website are Wildflowers, Herbs, Grasses, Conifers, Deciduous trees and shrubs and Evergreen trees and shrubs. So, go to budburst.org, make your choices and start making a difference on a national scale.

Lynne Galluzzo and her husband, Gary, moved from Centreville to Haymarket eight years ago. They live on ten acres where they garden extensively. Lynne applies what she learns in her gardens to her garden maintenance business - The Garden Lady. Contact her at: Lgalluzzo@comcast.net or www.TheGardenLady.biz.

“G ro win g” a Commu n ity I read Lynne Galluzzo’s column with a sense of wistfulness. I strolled with her in the March edition, marveling at the funky Harry Lauder Walking Stick and the insane color of the Coralbark Maple in her winter garden. Knowing a little bit about these things makes me feel a kinship with her, in addition to the fact that were are both local transplants to Haymarket, her from Centreville, me from Reston. I like how she 10

writes, how she describes gardening in an area I love.

She’s my role model, but I’ll be the first to admit, I’m no Garden Lady. Not even close.

At this point, I’m more like an aspiring garden gal. My knowledge is built on a solid foundation of wives tales and an overenthusiastic belief in organic principles.

While ghosts of gardeners past whisper their truths to me every time I sink my red gloves into the brown dirt, I

know I am not yet living up to their expectations. But I have a gardener’s soul, and I speak for anyone who has ever planted a stray seed in an yogurt container with no end game in mind, or sprouted a potato eye out of cat-like curiosity, or stuck a tomato plant in a container on a tiny little third-story porch, hoping. There are a lot of us out there, living vicariously through Lynne’s column.

My little fantasy of home-

grown tomato sandwiches on white bread with Duke’s mayonnaise started becoming a reality when I met my partner in grime, Rick Vergot. His beautiful home on 10 acres at the base of Bull Run Mountain became my home, and together we started to plan a vegetable garden, complete with flowers, herbs, and bees. Turns out, I’m pretty sure he was a farmer in a past life. He will make himself late for Haymarket Lifestyle

This will be our third season of expansion, trial-anderror, over-engineering, and under-watering. Together, we survived mildew, rot, bugs, and, amazingly, a glorious profusion of vegetables. More than we, the birds, the squirrels, and the rabbits could consume.

We carted some of the excess off to colleagues (especially families with kids, because good, untreated produce is expensive). But still it littered the ground before we could pick it all. This year we hope to freeze more and experiment with canning, but even then, I’m sure there will be some vegetables that hang untouched. It weighs on me, like it weighs on the vines, and I suspect we’re not alone. So, what does one do with it?

If presented with the opportunity to start a movement, I’m pretty sure I would claim I don’t have the time, too busy in the garden and all. But joining a movement, now that’s a carrot of a different color. The movement I’m thinking of joining is being

informed by people like Robyn O’Brien, the “Erin Brockovich of Food,” and Ron Finley, “a guerilla gardener in South Central, Los Angles.”

You can find a 15-minute video from Robyn online, explaining how we need to clean up the food supply. It’s a disturbing but necessary 15 minutes, and everyone should watch it.

There’s an article on Ron in the Wall Street Journal (Weekend Edition, March 9-10, 2013). This fella has commandeered the strip of land between the sidewalk and the road in front of his house. He’s growing good, organic food for his neighbors, ignoring city ordinances. He leaves the clippers out, and people pick what they need for a donation that helps him start more of these sidewalk gardens as he urges people to “pimp their parkways.”

At our house in Haymarket, we are growing organic food in a garden over yonder. We don’t need to commandeer any sidewalk grass. How hard would it be to adopt one household in need, and give them a basket of vegetables a couple of times a month? That’s not a movement; that’s what Robyn O’Brien would call doing one thing. I believe even I could handle that much in an effort to make beautiful Haymarket a better place for everyone.

Carla Hogue is an elementary special ed teacher, and Rick Vergot sells building supplies.

Since meeting on Match.com, he has introduced her to great wine and Jeeps while she has helped him channel his inner hiker. They anticipate doubling their garden this season and will take anyone’s advice on how to grow a pepper.

History

The Freedom Museum’s Vital Mission Preserving, documenting our veterans’ service and sacrifices

By John T. Toler

“Poor is the nation that has no heroes, and shameful is the nation who has heroes and forgets them.”

That is the message on the base of the memorial tribute to Prince William County’s fallen heroes, and the sentiment that led to the creation of The Freedom Museum at Manassas Regional Airport. It is also what drives the volunteers who keep it open, safeguard and interpret the growing number of artifacts, and to share our veterans’ stories of valor and sacrifice.

Opened on the main floor of the terminal building at the airport in 1999, The Freedom Museum is open daily, and free to the public. Displays are focused on the wars Americans have fought in the 20th century, highlighting the actions in which soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines from Prince William participated. Also included are the civilian contributions to the war effort, as well as remembering those who perished in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The display floor is divided into galleries covering each of the conflicts. Uniforms and equipment used by the men and women who fought are carefully displayed, with placards telling the story behind each artifact. Some include accounts in the actual words of the man or women who served.

In addition, there are a number of scale models of combat aircraft and warships on display, some built by the men who flew the actual planes or served on the ships. Notable is the collection of finely detailed warbirds built by former 1st Lt. William C. Baker of Prince William County, who completed 50 combat missions as a bombardier on USAAF B-24s during World War II. Other wartime images include dramatic combat art, maps, and newspaper pages.

The Freedom Museum has been a 12

member of the Smithsonian Institution Affiliate Program since August 2000, and has earned the support of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Fleet Reserve Association, Disabled American Veterans, Vietnam Veterans of America, and other groups.

President of The Freedom Museum Board is retired Navy Capt. Jim Porter, who started as a volunteer ten years ago.

Now, he spends many hours each week guiding visitors through the displays, working with supporters, and receiving and evaluating donations.

“Every day is a surprise,” he notes, referring to the visitors who come to the museum to share their stories or talk about the military service of a loved one. More often than one might expect, families of veterans have donated items that have been gathering dust in an attic or garage for years that are now prized museum artifacts.

Examples include a Norden bombsight

used on a World War II bomber given to the museum by a local family, and five limited-edition, framed World War II aircraft and ground combat prints donated by retired Air Force Lt. Col. Matthew A. Dornan, of Manassas.

Collecting, preserving history One of the most interesting, if not moving donations was a U.S. Navy footlocker from WWII given to the museum given to the museum by a Manassas family. The footlocker – which had been left intact for almost 70 years – was found when the elderly relative who had it was moving to a nursing home, and other family members came across it while clearing out her house.

The footlocker belonged to PO2 (Petty Officer Second Class) Carson Powell, a native of Wilmington, N.C. He joined the Navy in 1940, when he was just 17 years old. Because of his age, he had to museum continued on page 14 Haymarket Lifestyle

Petty Officer Second Class Carson Powell was only 17 years old when he joined the U.S. Navy.

During the nighttime battle off Vella Lavella on that date, the Selfridge and two other U.S. Navy destroyers confronted a force of six Japanese destroyers and other armed enemy ships, which launched at least six torpedoes at the Selfridge. By violently maneuvering his ship, the captain eluded four of the torpedoes, but two struck the Selfridge in the bow in quick succession.

About 40 feet of the bow and No. 1 turret were completely blown off the Selfridge, the wreckage scraping down the side of the ship before sinking and damaging one of the ship’s screws. The No. 2 turret remained on the deck, but was completely destroyed.

PO2 Powell was killed when the USS Selfridge was hit by two torpedoes launched by a Japanese destroyer in a battle off the Vella Lavella in the Solomon Islands on the night of Oct. 6, 1943. museum continued from page 12

have the permission of his father, J. C. Powell, to enlist.

By the fall of 1943, PO2 Powell was serving on the USS Selfridge a destroyer that was part of the Third Fleet fighting the Japanese in the South Pacific.

During his more than three years in the Navy, PO2 Powell corresponded regularly with his parents and Gertie, his girlfriend back home.

Sadly, in late 1943 PO2 Powell’s parents received word from the War Department that he had been lost in action in the Pacific. In February 1944, his footlocker and personal effects were sent to his father in North Carolina. Little was known about the circumstances of his death.

The main sources of information were letters he found, and the daybook where PO2 Powell recorded his daily watch status on the Selfridge. Reading through the materials, Capt. Porter learned that PO2 Powell was the gun captain in the Selfridge’s No. 1 turret.

PO2 Powell’s last entry in his daybook was on Oct. 6, 1943, where he noted that he would be firing the twin 5-inch guns in the No. 1 turret.

Casualties on board the Selfridge that night were 13 killed, 11 wounded and 36 missing – including PO2 Powell, who died at his battle station.

Spreading the word Community outreach is a top priority of the Freedom Museum volunteers, who are always looking for ways to bring their message to a wider audience. Special events are scheduled for the public each year on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Veterans Day, featuring guest speakers and special exhibits.

In past years, guest speakers have included Medal of Honor recipients, former prisoners-of-war of the Vietnam museum continued on page 16

Many years later, the footlocker arrived at the Freedom Museum. As a Navy man, Capt. Porter grasped the significance, and gratefully accepted the gift. “World War II was different from other wars, since everyone was affected,” he said. “If your family didn’t lose someone in the war, you certainly knew one that did.”

Carefully going through the contents of the footlocker, Capt. Porter pieced together PO2 Powell’s life on the Selfridge, figured out the circumstances of his death, and has created a touching display.

Among the personal effects in PO2 Powell’s footlocker were his uniforms, photographs of his girlfriend, Gertie, and letters he received from her while at sea.

Wings, Wheels and Warriors Airshow

War, and commanders of the American Legion, VFW and Vietnam Veterans of America.

On Saturday, May 4, the Manassas Airport Regional Business Alliance (MARBA) will once again co-host the Wings Wheels and Warriors Airshow at the airport. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and is free and open to the public.

Capt. Porter frequently goes on the road with his “Footlocker Program,” bringing the actual footlocker used by Frank Parrish during World War II – filled with interesting artifacts – to local schools. Using a hands-on approach, he shares the artifacts with the students, describing each item, explaining how it was used, and its place in history.

The museum acquired an M-151 ¼ ton tactical vehicle (successor to the M-38 of WWII and Korea), which it brings to schools and parades, as well as the cockpit and nose section of a B-25 bomber, mounted on a trailer.

In addition, each year the museum hosts an annual color guard competition for local Junior ROTC units that is held at the airport (this year on April 20), and judged by representatives of the Military District of Washington.

Also on April 20, the museum is hosting its Annual Hangar Dance fundraiser, featuring WWII-era music by The Swing Machine, dancing, a silent auction and other fun activities. The USO-themed event runs from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. For more information and tickets, visit www. freedomhangardance.eventbrite.com.

Another popular activity at the museum is the quarterly “Book Talk,” where local authors discuss their writings in a group setting. Scheduled for April 24 at 7:30 p.m. is Haymarket author Joan Kilpatrick, who recently published Wasps in the Bedroom, Honey in the Well, her recollections of life during the Great Depression and World War II.

2013 Airshow on May 4 In the past, the premier event at The Freedom Museum has been the annual airshow, first taking place in 1999 and called “The Festival of Freedom.” Free and open to the public, the show is financed through sponsorships and donations made by county businesses, especially those located at the airport (see accompanying story).

Due to weather and other circumstances, the museum suffered financial losses in 2010 and 2011.

16

The show is being organized and run by the well-known David Schultz Airshows, “the industry leader in air show operations,” and will be the only show of its kind to be held in our area this year.

Wing walker Jane Wicker will return with her

Special acts include Jane Wicker, daring aerial act at the 2013 ‘Wings, Wheels a daring wing walker; a collection and Warriors’ airshow on May 4. of restored biplanes flown in by the Flying Circus in Bealeton, VA; an exciting aerobatic display; and a “Flying Parade” of the aircraft used by the aviation training companies located at the airport.

In addition, there will be a number of vintage warbirds on display, and a demonstration of jet-powered remote control airplanes by the Prince William RC Club’s Hobby Hangar. There will also be full-size jets on the flight line, including a LA-39 jet trainer.

Vintage aircraft like this WWII Corsair will be on display at the airshow, as well as modern airplanes, helicopters and military equipment.

The Freedom Museum will be open during the airshow, and local restaurants will have food booths on the airport grounds.

Families are encouraged to attend, as there will also be children’s activities. For more information, visit www. marbainc.com.

Starting in 2012, the airshow has been co-hosted by the Manassas Airport Regional Business Alliance (MARBA).

A vital organization promoting businesses at and near the airport, MARBA is headed by Kevin C. Rychlik, president and CEO of American Helicopters Inc.

Plans have been drawn for a new museum, which must be completed before the present lease on the space in the airport terminal runs out in 2015.

At The Freedom Museum, one finds an extensive collection of scale model aircraft on display, including this Republic P-47 fighter from World War II.

It is the staff of volunteers and supporters who keep The Freedom Museum going. Retired Navy Capt, Jim Porter (left) is the president of The Freedom Museum Board, and Nick Rychlik, president of American Helicopters Inc., heads up the Manassas Airport Regional Business Alliance (MARBA). museum continued from page 16

cancelled for 2013, leaving only The Wings, Wheels and Warriors Airshow as the only event of its kind in our area.

…and for the future?

While there is no shortage of energy or commitment to The Freedom Museum, its future may be in doubt. The lease on the space at the Manassas Regional Airport, which was originally just a temporary arrangement, runs out in 2015.

What is envisioned is a 40,000 square foot facility housing the museum and a National Veterans Visitors Center, with expanded display space for restored aircraft, tanks and other large items in eight galleries. Also in the plan are a 240-seat lecture hall/ theater and a restaurant, which would be open to visitors and airport workers. “The new

facility would be a world-class tourist attraction,” notes Capt. Porter.

The best location for the new museum is on undeveloped land across the main road from the airport terminal, which is owned by the City of Manassas.

However, at least $100,000 in “seed money” is needed to get started, as well as major funding to build and equip the facility.

Given the scope of the project, time is quickly running out. The effect of the weak economy on non-profit organizations and reduced government support have The Freedom Museum supporters worried, But Capt. Porter is optimistic that grant money will be available, as well as support from local businesses, which has been strong in the past. “But if nothing is done, we’ll have to close the doors,” he added.

Since its inception, The Freedom Museum has stayed true to its mission, “To honor our fallen comrades and pay tribute to those who served freedom’s cause, and in so doing, give new generations of Americans a sense of their history and heritage.”

Accomplishing this goal has required dedicated, ongoing efforts to collect, preserve and interpret the individual stories of Prince William County veterans – accounts that otherwise would have been lost. Add to that the knowledge and experience of the volunteers that are the museum’s lifeblood. That can’t be replaced, either.

Author John Toler is a writer and historian and has served Fauquier County for over 50 years, including 4 decades with the Fauquier-Times Democrat. He has written and lectured about many legendary characters in Fauquier County’s history. Toler is the co-author of 250 Years in Fauquier County: A Virginia Story, and author of Warrenton, Virginia: A History of 200 Years.

Good Health is just the Beginning Reimagine your healthcare experience It’s easy to video chat with a friend across the country and simple to deposit a check from your phone. Online shopping sites customize your experience the more you visit.

Walking into a hotel, you’re treated as a valued guest.

It’s time for your healthcare experience to catch up.

That is what is happening at Novant Health, they’re making your healthcare experience just as connected, clear and hassle-free as all the other modern conveniences in life. They’re creating a cohesive and consistent experience across their integrated network of physician practices, hospitals, outpatient centers, and more so you can focus on what really matters - getting better and staying healthy.

“In April, Novant Health’s patient promise will be unveiled to our community through a new look and feel that will provide easier access, easier scheduling and will make things easier to understand.”

While Novant Health’s hundreds of locations have been delivering this seamless experience for over 15 years, our community may not have realized what that connection means and where all the points of care are located since Prince William Health System joined with Novant Health back in 2009.

In April, Novant Health’s patient promise will be unveiled to our community through a new look and feel that will provide easier access, easier scheduling and will make things easier to understand. “This unification is a great win for our community,” said Melissa Robson, president of Prince William Health System and COO of the Northern Virginia Market. “Through the strength of our system, we will reach best practices faster and leverage learnings from our other facilities. Our goal is to provide a remarkable patient experience and this change only assists our efforts.”

Prince William Hospital will become Novant Health Prince William Medical Center and the new hospital opening in Haymarket in early 2014 will be named Novant Health Haymarket Medical Center. With world-class technology, personal connections, and care that’s easier to access and understand, throughout its entire system, Novant Health says it will be there every step of the way for life’s journey of health and wellness.

Haymarket embraces spring with the second annual Festival of Tulips

The beginning of April marks the kick-off of the second annual Festival of Tulips at Burnside Farms in Haymarket, VA. The mother and son team of farm owners, Leslie and Michael Dawley, worked tirelessly through the winter planting 100,000 tulip bulbs in more than 50 different varieties. Their field will soon come alive with a variety of vibrant colors and blossoms that proclaim spring’s arrival.

Late March/Early April when the flowers are in bloom, local residents and tourists alike will be able to stroll through the fields during the three-week Festival of Tulips and pick their own blooms. “Once our tulip field is in bloom, it’s truly a sight to behold,” said Michael Dawley. “Tulips come in so many sizes, shapes and colors and to see them all together truly is an indescribable experience. The Festival of Tulips, offers everyone the chance to take some of that beauty home with them.”

The tulip field is an amazing location for spring photos or a peaceful picnic lunch. Families, schools or groups of any size are invited to visit the farm for their first outing of spring.

The entry fee for the Festival of Tulips is $3 per person and tulips cost just $1 per stem. Festival timing is dependent on Mother Nature, it is not possible to give the exact opening date at this time. Typical timing is late March/Early April.

Visit facebook.com/burnsidefarms for field reports as spring approaches.

Artists and children are welcome to stroll through the fields and soak up the seasonal bursts of color.

Working Women TEAM WIN creates a supportive, educational and business focused environment for local women

That might be true in personal relationships, but how does it play out in the business world?

One local group has been exploring that answer for the past four years.

Team WIN: Women Inspired Networking is a networking group in the GainesvilleHaymarket area that caters specifically to women in business. Its membership is comprised of small business owners as well as women who work for larger entities including a local bank.

The group takes pride in how they are different from other networking organizations.

Most members have found that the driven nature of some other groups wasn’t the right fit for their personalities. They found referral quotas and other requirements to be too much demand on their time – especially for those women in business who are also mothers.

In fact, several of Team WIN’s policies are designed to be parent-friendly. The flexible attendance policy allows members to make up for a missed meeting by scheduling a one-on-one with another member. This policy helps a mom with sick kids – as well as anyone who has a client appointment or other conflict – stay engaged with the group despite her absence.

member of the group since 2009.

Men are from Mars; women are from Venus. That’s what the book title says.

Jacquelyn Rodriguez of Enlightened Styles, who joined last October, feels similarly: “I love Team WIN because it has wonderful, smart women who are very supportive. Everyone in the group brings something special to share with us.”

Team WIN members gather for a group photo after their meeting.

Meanwhile, when Prince William County schools are delayed or closed on the day of a meeting, that meeting is automatically canceled. This saves the need for a phone tree or other communication within the group, as well as the need for moms to get last-minute childcare. Plus it addresses any safety issues with icy or snowy roads.

Team WIN’s identity has evolved since its inception in 2009. “Honestly, we had it wrong for a while,” says longtime Team WIN member Christina Ammerman of Zenquility. “We were trying to promise lead generation and business growth – the numbers aspects of networking – without the structure in place to support that. And we didn’t want that structure; our flexibility and lack of pressure are why members were in here in the first place.

How we handled this problem exemplifies the strength of this group: We were willing to

look at the problem and find a solution. ” The chapter looked to its membership for the answer.

A survey of existing members revealed that even if lead generation had been the primary reason why women joined, it wasn’t why they stayed. Ultimately this resulted in a new mission statement in 2010 and changes to the agenda that focused on what members wanted most: support of their businesses and their own professional growth.

“The regular interaction with such intelligent women has taught me so much,” shares Sarah Yakel, Vice President and Certified Financial Planning professional at The Fauquier Bank in Warrenton. “They have helped me sharpen my public speaking skills, improved my networking abilities, and bolstered my confidence.”

Yakel has been an active

But that doesn’t mean that Team WIN members don’t generate business.

Just ask Jamie Medders of Tri-Ed Tutoring: “Without the pressure of lead and referral quotas to meet each week, I was able to focus on developing strong relationships within the group.

Because of these relationships, referrals started to come naturally and Team WIN continues to be one of my biggest lead generators.”

Team WIN’s commitment to providing support to women in business is reflected in their meeting agenda, which includes not only the typical round of 45-second commercials from each attendee and a 10-minute spotlight on one member, but also an element of business education. The first meeting of each month features a program speaker – typically someone from outside the chapter – to educate Team WIN members on some aspect

Members meet twice a month for business education seminars and support from local women in business. win continued from page 24

The second meeting of each month features something that might be completely unique to Team WIN: the roundtable discussion.

Members are invited to share what they learned from the previous meeting’s speaker and how they’ve implemented it in their business during the two weeks between meetings.

They can also bring up any challenges that they’ve faced along the way.

“I have never, ever been to another in-person networking group that does this,” Ammerman shares.

“In my experience, this kind of masterminding is usually reserved for online forums.

And because of the rapport within the group, people feel comfortable sharing what they think are mistakes and inadequacies. Getting that stuff out into the open and hearing how many others are facing the same challenges has a huge positive impact.

We leave the roundtables feeling empowered and ready to charge forward in our businesses.”

Women who are considering joining Team WIN get to experience it first-hand before making their decision to join.

26

Each prospective member is allowed two visits before submitting an application, so that she can see how membership will benefit her business. During her visits Creative Memories consultant Bonnie Schmidt saw what she was looking for: “I joined to be around other likeminded business women who challenge and inspire me to be a better business woman.”

Team WIN president Jennifer Puffenbarger of Puffenbarger Insurance & Financial Services, Inc., shares her first impression: “From the first moment I walked in I felt welcomed and knew this was a place I could grow. This group of women helped me identify areas of myself I was unsure of and how to work on becoming a more confident woman.

“I have only been a member of the group for a year now and have received more in Photo by Photography by Exposure

of operating their business.

Topics have ranged from marketing and social media to time management and personality typing.

return than I could have ever imagined. The members at Team WIN don’t just support each other in business but give each other the encouragement and support to be better women within our own communities and lives. It always amazes me how we are a like-minded group of ladies but have a lot to bring to each other from our different personality and business types.”

The women-only concept is certainly not unique; Team WIN’s own history proves that. The group was originally founded as a chapter of Team Women International, Inc., a California-based organization that in 2009 sought to expand its reach out to the East Coast. While irreconcilable differences eventually caused the Gainesville-Haymarket chapter to split off into an independent organization, it still maintains some of the

best practices that make it unique.

One prime example: Team WIN’s twice-monthly meetings do not include meals. Ammerman explains why: “Meals add significantly to the cost of membership – that’s the #1 reason. Compared to other networking groups that might charge $300 or more per year.”

Eating a meal also takes time, which inherently makes the meeting longer. A Team WIN meeting lasts one hour, with optional time for one-on-one networking before and after.

Team WIN also held onto the exclusive-seat structure that it inherited from Team Women International. While this idea has been debated from time to time within the group, ultimately the majority concurs that being the only member in one’s industry is a benefit. As a former member once expressed, “It’s easier to share openly when you’re not afraid of spilling trade secrets to a direct competitor.”

Team WIN: Women Inspired Networking meets twice each month (2nd and 4th Thursdays) from 10:00 to 11:00 AM at Bertucci’s Italian Restaurant, 8114 Stonewall Shops Sq., Gainesville, VA 20155. Premeeting networking begins at 9:45 AM. Visitors can RSVP to teamwingainesville@gmail. com.

Officer Down

Memorial Ride

By Chris Cosgriff

The second annual Officer Down Memorial Ride will be held on April 27th, in Haymarket. Open to the public, last year’s inaugural ride drew a mix of almost 300 motorcycling law enforcement officers and their supporters.

The ride is a fundraiser for the Officer Down Memorial Page (ODMP), a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring fallen law enforcement officers through its memorial, advocacy, and safety programs.

The ride, which begins and ends at the Lion & Bull Restaurant, features a 60+ mile route through the scenic countryside of Prince William and Loudoun counties.

The day isn’t limited just to motorcycle riders. Families are encouraged to come out for a day of fun while supporting their local police departments.

Like last year, this year’s event will host a police motor unit demonstration, a car show featuring antique police cars and classic cars, and free music from two live bands.

Founded in 1996, ODMP tells the stories of over 21,000 American law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty since the first known line of duty death in 1791. With over 10-million annual visitors, ODMP is one of the most visited police websites in the country.

In addition to its memorial programs for fallen law enforcement officers and canines, ODMP helps ensure that cop-killers stay behind bars for their entire sentences through its “No Parole for Cop Killers” program. Since its launch in 2011, No Parole for Cop Killers has generated over 69,000 letters in response

to parole hearings for 68 different cop killers. Of these, 67 of the cop killers have been denied parole.

ODMP also partners with other organizations, such as Below 100 and the Armor of God Project, to provide free equipment and safety training to law enforcement officers nationwide. Below 100 is an initiative to reduce police line of duty deaths to fewer than 100 each year (currently, there are an average of about 150 deaths each year). Below

100 provides free training classes to law enforcement officers nationwide. The Armor of God Project provides bullet proof vests to law enforcement officers who cannot afford them and whose agencies do not issue them.

Come out and join ODMP for a great day of fun and help raise money for a great cause!

For more information please visit: www. officerdownmemorialride.com

This message was sent by a volunteer who donates time to the Officer Down Memorial Page. ODMP volunteers conduct research into historic and forgotten line of duty deaths and play a valuable role in honoring our nation’s fallen heroes. Questions about this research or the ODMP volunteer program should be directed to information@odmp.org.

10 Easy Steps or Less Preparing your Haymarket or Gainesville home for sale is more than just a quick paint job or a new carpet.

You need to prepare your home through the eyes of those buyers looking to live in our community. As a Buyer you look at a property in many ways. While location and needs are on the top of their list, they are also interested in what they have to do to the property. Buyers might choose a property that is smaller or more expensive if they feel they can move right in without doing a thing.

1 Large or Small Clean Up the Yard – Put away the hose, kid’s toys, lawn equipment and spruce up the shrubbery and flowerbeds.

2 Remove Cobwebs from the Entry Way - If you usually enter through the garage you may not realize that you have cobwebs growing, remove them for a clean space.

3 Replace Old Hardware on the Front Door – Those brass kick plates, doorknobs and door knockers get worn over time.

Make the entry to your home inviting by replacing what looks old with something new.

4 De-Clutter the Foyer - The foyer might be your families catch-all with shoes, coats and today’s mail. Put the shoes and coats where they belong, trash the junk mail, newspapers, and magazines and place the important mail and items out of sight.

5 Clean or Replace Flooring – If you have carpets that are worn, out dated or a wild color - replace it. Even if it is in good condition, by replacing your carpets you up your changes of getting an offer sooner rather than later and at a higher price.

6 Touch Up the Paint- Use the same paint color to touch up corners and high traffic areas of your home. It gives the entire room the appearance of a fresh coat of paint without the mess and the added expense.

7 Deep Clean the Kitchen – Clean out the crumbs from the drawers, cabinets, counters, inside the refrigerator and stove. If you use drawer liners get rid of them they harbor bacteria.

8 Deep Clean the Bathrooms – Clean out under the sink and linen closet. Start by getting rid of all those almost empty bottles of shampoo, conditioners and out of date medicines.

9 Check Out Your Light Switch Covers – Light switches are high traffic areas, and the covers tend to get worn over time. They they can’t be cleaned they should be replaced.

10 Repair or Replace What’s Not Working – If you are aware of a plumbing leak, cracked window or a broken door - replace it.

Don’t wait for the buyer to find it.

Overcoming Adversity

By Colby Schreckengost BS, MS, CPT

When it comes to exercise or anything in life really; it’s not “if we will face adversity… but “when” we will face adversity. Life has a funny way of challenging us especially when it comes to our health and fitness. We all know someone that is battling cancer or diabetes or obesity or maybe some other illness. And most of us have been around someone that has tried to get fit, lose weight or run a marathon or even a 5K. A lot of times they get injured in the process and quit. Some people give up completely on reaching their goals and let their health sink even lower.

Adversity - Trials, disappointments, sadness, a state of hardship or affliction.

Sooner or later, we all go through some type adversity in our lives. “It’s not that we get knocked down…..It’s how we react to falling that really matters.” Do we get up and go again. Or do we stay down and let the adversity define us.

I meet new people every day. When they discover that I own a training facility, they want to talk fitness. I love talking about it, so I don’t mind. A lot of times they have a really positive story to tell me about their recent weight loss or their recent personal best in a road race. But lately I’ve been hearing stories with more negative outcomes. It really gets me down when people say “I’ve given up because I can’t do what I used to do. I have this shoulder problem that won’t go away.”

sometimes it’s a business failure, or maybe one of our children has fallen into the wrong crowd, maybe we never recovered from a sports injury or an auto accident; and have let ourselves spiral into a drug problem, alcoholism or an unhealthy lifestyle of poor nutrition and inactivity.

I believe that these dark times are the times that we really find out what we are made of; going face-to-face with some real adversity!!!

My Story While playing college football and lifting weights improperly, I suffered two ruptured discs in my lumbar spine.

I was 21 years old, had just finished my junior season at Murray State, made all conference and honorable mention AllAmerican. Instead of thinking about having a super season and getting into an NFL camp, I found myself sitting in front of a neurosurgeon facing back surgery. Unfortunately that surgery was unsuccessful and a year later at age 22, I was having a second surgery. This was tragic for me. I couldn’t ever play again.

At that time like most college athletes, I thought football was my life. Now it was gone. I started a downward spiral, drank too much, and ate a lot of meds trying to kill the pain.

Luckily I had good support from family, coaches and teammates. I learned a great deal from sports, but the best thing it taught me was how to be tough in the face of adversity. I convinced myself that I wasn’t going to let this injury define me. I started fighting back and exercising. I contacted an old coach that just happened to be looking for a graduate assistant football coach. The job came with low pay and lots of work but helped me get my life back on track. I overcame some real adversity at a time when it would have been really easy to stay down. I went on to become the strength coach and conditioning coach at the University of Tulsa and later to start my own training company. Now I realize my calling is to inspire people to better health and athletic performance in a safe yet effective way. adversity continued on page 34

We all go through dark times; 32

adversity continued from page 32

One of my favorite quotes from a former President:

“Nothing in this world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.” - Theodore Roosevelt So what about you?

What’s your story? Haven’t lost the weight you gained after having children? Too stressed out over work to get your workout in? Have an injury that you’re trying to overcome?

If you are facing adversity in your life, maybe you need a nudge in the right direction. Try these tips and get back on track!

Change your mind set; your thought process needs to change. Become a becoming a victor, not a victim. No one can keep you down if you stand up for yourself!

Make a decision to start a new journey. Get started!

Find the right physician or physical therapist. Keep searching until you get your questions answered and your health issues resolved.

Get a coach. 6-weeks ago, I started swimming for cardio fitness because running is too hard on my body.

I needed a coach to correct my technique and inspire me. I hired a coach and it worked. Today I swam 50 lengths in the pool and I can’t wait to get back in the water!

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” - Maya Angelou Don’t be afraid to seek professional counseling. Unlike talking with friends who always seem to have an agenda, sometimes we need to talk with a professional. They have the experience to help you through the really rough stuff!

One day at a time….One hour at a time, one workout at a time, one healthy meal at a time. It takes a lot of small changes to make a big difference in your life.

Find a buddy….someone that will be there with you, help keep you accountable.

Don’t listen to the crabs in your life; crabs don’t want their friends to be successful for fear that it will make them look bad.

Find that thing that motivates you.

I recently read a story about a lady that hated working out all of her life until she started rowing at age 50, now you can’t keep her out of the water! If it’s a gym that you’re looking for find a place that cares about YOU and your success.

Read an inspirational book. It’s hard to find inspiration on TV. Pick up a book about someone that inspires you and read it!

Don’t be afraid of failing. Behind every successful person are a few failures! Go for it! What’s the worst that can happen? You’ll be back in the same spot 6-months from now.

You can start again!

Live a life worth telling a story about. Live the life that you dream about!

Get your mind right and get after it!

Old Meets New - Grafton Street Gainesville recently welcomed an upscale, stylish neighborhood restaurant to our community. Grafton Street offers an extensive menu with polished dishes in a space that is open, posh and able to impress even the most persnickety guests. Named after the popular street in Ireland, the restaurant captures the mix of culture, a blend of old and new. This strolling street attracts visitors and shoppers alike to absorb the latest trends in fashion amid the historic buildings.

This feeling is captured in a boutique space with plush booths lining the walls, large tables with leather accented chairs thoughtfully filling the room and vintage Irish accents dressing the walls.

Grafton’s atmosphere is ideal for a first date, lunch with business clients, game with the guys, catch up session over cocktails or a family dinner.

Get the conversations started over a few shared plates. The Crab & Lobster Guacamole is filling with fresh Maine lobster and lump crab stacked on homemade guacamole and served with crispy tortilla chips. Served hot, the “Oskar Blues” Onion Rings are created with Dale’s pale ale marinade and accompanied by a fire roasted jalapeno dip. The Ham & Andouille Sausage brick oven flat bread is layered with caramelized onions, fresh garlic, rosemary, and sharp white cheddar. The Short Rib & Shiitake Dumplings and the Tex-Mex Rolls are also delicious choices.

Steak is their signature at 18 ounces this bone-in ribeye is dressed in a house rub and served with fried onion straws.

Hand-cut and seasoned both the Grilled New York Strip and the Black Angus Rib Eye are tender and mouthwatering; top them with a gorgonzola butter, a red wine demi glaze or a garlic herb butter for preferred taste. Their steaks are served with your choice of a side; choose from fries, mashed potatoes, sweet potato hash, baby green salad, French beans, or a seasonal vegetable medley.

Dive into a seafood dish like their Lobster & Seafood Risotto, which features fresh Maine lobster, shrimp, scallops, tomatoes and chopped basil.

Fish & Chips is a classic comfort with lightly fried cod as well as a lemon and thyme aioli and complemented by fries with malt vinegar. Their Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes are bursting with jumbo lump crab and served with roasted corn, and red pepper and butternut squash sauté.

Bring your meal to a sweet close with a delightful dessert. The Vanilla Bean Crème Brulee is a customer favorite with fresh berries and Grand Marnier cream.

Or try the Chocolate Duo Mousse with white and dark chocolate mousse accented with maraschino cherries, cocoa powder and raspberry coulis.

Grafton Street is located at 7380 Atlas Walk Way in the Virginia Gateway Shopping Center near Qdoba Mexican Grill, Starbucks and Famous Dave’s.

They are open seven days a week beginning at 11am: Sunday through Wednesday they are open until 12am and Thursday through Saturday they are open until 2am. They also offer spacious outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Reservations are preferred but certainly not required.

Give them a call at (571) 261-9367 to reserve a table. For more information please visit their website at www. graftonstreetva.com.

Their entree salads are plentiful and full of fresh ingredients. Try the Citrus Grilled Shrimp Salad with stacked baby greens, dried cranberries, grape tomatoes, candied walnuts, and goat cheese all drizzled with a champagne vinaigrette. The “Steakhouse” Style Wedge is savory with chilled iceberg, smoked bacon, red onion, roma tomato and a blue cheese dressing. Pair any salad with their Crab & Red Pepper Bisque for a light and satisfying meal.

Known for their steaks, Grafton Street offers five flavorful dishes. The Cowboy The restaurants that appear in this section are chosen by Haymarket Lifestyle Magazine (HLM) food critics.
