PRINCE WILLIAM CHAPTER PROVIDES A POSITIVE SOCIAL OUTLET FOR LOCAL YOUTH

In July of 2014, Haymarket Lifestyle magazine profiled the National League of Junior Cotillions’ new Western Prince William chapter launched by Kathleen Geneva for its first year. Geneva is ecstatic to report that it has been a tremendous success. Over 200 children are currently taking part in the season, which began in September and will culminate in the celebratory Grand Spring Ball at the end of March. Meeting once a week for 90 minutes, the children learned many useful and practical life skills they will carry throughout their lives. From a parents’ perspective, the program may correct many of the behaviors they may find most frustrating to teach children sometimes without success. But the good news is that the children find the classes to be fun as the parents find it beneficial. The etiquette element focuses on teaching children how to behave in various social situations, including ones with both adults and other children. Children learn how to hold a proper and appropriate conversation while practicing table manners. “In addition to the usual courtesies connected with dancing, etiquette instruction is also provided with regards to the following: acknowledgment of gifts, behavior at cultural and civic events, correspondence, interaction in groups, introductions, paying and receiving compliments, receiving lines, sportsmanship and sports etiquette, instructional dinners, telephone courtesy, and many other areas of social conduct,” says Geneva. Geneva was determined to offer these Haymarket Lifestyle

life skills in a way that would engage the children by teaching it in modern ways that relate to their everyday lives, such as using using modern music for dancing and impressing that their newfound etiquette and manner skills will help them stand out and make them more confident in social situations throughout their lives. The classes are curriculum based and agespecific, taught to groups of Ladies and Gentlemen who are paired up into similar age groups. Children also participate in the Holly Ball, Winter Dance, and the Spring Ball throughout the season. In December, the Holly Ball was “a fabulous social event which allowed the students to experience a formal environment where they could practice the etiquette and dance skills that they had learned.” The evening was a fun time for all with prizes, refreshments, a D.J., dance contests, corsages, boutonnieres, and dancing. Held at the Piedmont Club in Haymarket, the dance showed the children’s confidence because they knew the proper manners to use while

enjoying a special night with their friends. The Pre-Cotillion classes, for children in 1st through 4th grade, has 50 children participating in the program which meets at Dominion Valley Country Club. The Junior Cotillion, for children in 5th through 8th grade, has seen 150 children in its first year in Western Prince William County. Geneva says that almost every single child has been signed up for the second year of the 2-year program and there is even a waiting list for parents wanting to sign up children for their first year. Because of the high demand for the program and children who traveled from other counties to participate, there may be an expansion into Fauquier County to host classes for season 2015/2016. The program’s success earned recognition from the National League of Junior Cotillions who awarded the Spotlight award, highlighting Geneva’s drive and determination for seeing a need that existed in Prince William County and taking the initiative to implement it with ease and wonderful success. The program was almost immediately accepted by the community, with half of the participating children signed up after her first Parent Reception, followed by invitations and marketing that created awareness of the program through local schools and social media. When asked what their favorite

part of the program was, surprisingly most children reported that dancing was their top favorite, followed closely by “sitting around talking with their friends at the table.” Imagine that! Geneva says the program “is something special,” which is what makes it so unique from any other opportunities for children at this age and in the Prince William area. To learn more about the program, including updates on the Fauquier County chapter, contact Kathleen Geneva at 703-901-1498, kathleen. geneva@nljc.com, or go to nljc.com/ chapter/westprincewilliam.

THE FOUR PILLARS OF BUILDING A BETTER ATHLETE The Successful Athlete is the Educated Athlete by Colby Schreckengost BS, MS, CPT

uring a recent athletic evaluation D with a high school student, I started the nutritional assessment portion of her session with my usual question, “What did you have for breakfast this morning?” She looked at me with a puzzled face. “I don’t think I had anything,” was her hesitant reply. She could tell by my facial expression I was disappointed, but I continued asking questions regarding her other meals, hydration, and sleep patterns. We discussed her goals as student-athlete. I asked if she wanted to continue playing her sport after high school. To that she answered, “Yeah, I guess so.” We went on to do basic measurements, and movement skills test (Functional Movement Screen, Broad jump, 5-10-5 shuttle, 10 and 20yard dash and vertical jump). When the hour was finished, she was probably relieved that I didn’t ask any more questions. Me, I was motivated. It’s my personal mission to educate young athletes about

what it means to be a “complete athlete.” I’ve been coaching and training athletes for nearly thirty years and I’m still amazed at the lack of knowledge as to the preparation and dedication it takes to really excel as a student athlete. I think parents will agree that even at the middle and high school level, competition for starting roles on athletic teams is fiercer than ever. Sure there are still those anomalous kids that seem to barely work and get by on their Godgiven, genetically-derived

talent. But for the most part, most young athletes are working their tails off to make a team or earn a scholarship. They’re working hard, but is it a lop-sided focus on just

Teaching athletes strategies like how to remain focused and how to overcome adversity is one of the key pillars in building a better athlete.

When left to their own devices, most kids will make poor nutritional choices, by giving them easy to remember strategies we can help improve recovery and performance.

Focusing on proper movement skills (like lateral acceleration and deceleration) in a controlled environment creates a quicker, more sound athlete and actually lowers their risk of injury while competing. 12

one aspect of being a complete athlete? There’s a missing link with most young athletes that are trying to get from “average” to “good,” or “good” to “great.” It isn’t more practice, it isn’t more skills training, and it isn’t learning to be a better student of the game. Instead, it’s embracing and adopting the “4 Pillars of Building a Better Athlete” that can make all the difference in an athlete’s success. We try to instill these 4 Pillars in every athlete who walks through our doors, and we’re eager to share them with aspiring young athletes and their parents. MINDSET Mindset is the key to the entire building process. It has been proven time and time again that only by improving the mindset (attitudes and intentions) can an individual or team truly improve their ability and maximize potential. Mindset drives choices, choices drive actions, and, actions determine success. Training an athlete’s mindset must include: • Goal Setting Strategies • How to Gain Confidence: Staying Focused • Giving Your Best Effort • Overcoming Adversity • Staying Disciplined • Being a Good Teammate • Developing the Leader Within You • Mental Toughness • Preparing for Athletic Testing NUTRITION This is always tough because kids are surrounded by lots of bad food options and it’s really essential that parents and coaches stress that proper nutrition and supplementation is a must in order for an athlete to reach his potential, and -- next to sleep --probably the most often overlooked. If you are training hard and practicing hard, properly fueling your body is essential. For

most athletes it is preferable to keep nutritional advice simple. They typically will listen and in most cases make small changes, but only if the information is simple and actionable. Topics that drive an athlete’s nutritional education should include: • Staying Hydrated • Healthy Breakfast Practices • Lowering Sugar Intake • Pre-Workout Nutrition • Post-Workout Nutrition • Importance of Fruits and Vegetables • Choosing Healthy Snacks MOVEMENT Smart Training is much more than “just working out”! First and foremost, an athlete needs a plan to improve “the machine” as I like to call it. Most importantly, all movement in the training process should be focused on quality, not quantity. Every movement skill, every lift, and every corrective exercise should be learned properly and developed progressively. The goals of any great training program should include the following: • Injury Prevention Practices • Corrective Exercises and Neuromuscular Activation (Turning on the Nervous System) • Dynamic Warm-up • Linear Speed, Lateral Movement Skills, Change of Direction, Acceleration and Deceleration, and First Step Quickness Development • Explosive Lifts and Plyometrics • Core Strength and Stability • Lower Body Strength Development • Upper Body Strength Development • Energy Systems Development (Conditioning) Haymarket Lifestyle

Explosive strength training movements like the dumbbell snatch create a stronger athlete that will have more endurance, less susceptible to injury, and make them more explosive.

Soft tissue strategies like foam rolling improve an athlete’s ability to recover from the rigors of training, practices and games and improve their body’s ability to keep up with the demands of the season.

RECOVERY With most high achieving, hardworking athletes; recovery is without a doubt the most overlooked aspect of preparation training. The demands on our athletes are always escalating so more attention should be paid to recovery. The human body breaks down as the amount of training sessions, practices and games increase and become more intense. Athletes need the following recovery practices in order to increase performance, avoid overuse injuries and stay mentally fresh and focused. • Daily Soft Tissue Work • Ice and Heat therapies • Develop good sleep habits • Create Yearly Master Plan (including fun time and getaway time) • Utilize Chiropractic & Deep Tissue Massage therapy techniques • Restorative Yoga Sessions • Emotional and mental release sessions (from a professional or friend) The bottom line is this: as the physical demands, as well as the mental and emotional pressure on the modern athlete keep ratcheting up, it becomes more and more imperative that we educate our athletes rather than just putting them through mindless workout sessions. You never know what that athlete is going through at home, at school or at his or her job that might be holding him or her back. I’ve made it a priority to educate every athlete that comes through our facility so that they will have the best chance for success. We only get one shot at an athletic career. By the time we’re 35-40 years old; competing in an athletic arena has usually come to an end and in most cases an athlete’s career ends after high school or college. Just as in life and in all of our working careers; proper education holds the keys to the best possible outcome. The young lady that I spoke about earlier has recently signed up for one of our athlete training programs. It’s obvious that she could use our help with her mindset and nutrition. Hopefully, if she’s open to learning and heeding our advice, she will create for herself an awesome athletic career and more!

Former Marine Pilot Brews for Health Kombucha said to provide a myriad of beneifts by Danica Low

In 2010, a former U.S. Marine jet pilot was caring for his wife of twentysix years, Roseann, who required daily IVs and feeding through a tube in her chest. The veteran attack pilot had incurred many major injuries in his military career and in sports, but nothing was as difficult watching his spouse suffer. On December 28th of that year, former Marine Captain Ralph Crafts heard about kombucha (pronounced kom-BOO-cha) from his wife’s Medicaid attendant (kombucha is produced by fermenting sweet black tea with a culture of bacteria and yeast, and is available in many health/natural food stores. Its origin has been traced back to ancient China). The Medicaid attendant suggested the drink to Ralph for stress relief, as he had served as the primary caregiver for his ill wife for seven years. As a former Marine jet pilot, Ralph’s idea of a stress relief drink was a good bourbon, not a health shake, so he reluctantly followed up on the suggestion and found a national brand of kombucha at the local natural market. He was turned off by the taste: “It was awful!” But, the following day, as fortune would have it, an article on the health benefits of kombucha ran in the Food section of The Washington Post. As he flipped through the paper, the article caught his attention. Proponents claimed kombucha tea could stimulate the immune system, help with the side effects of medications (e.g., chemotherapy and antibiotics), help with digestive issues, and improve liver function, among other health benefits. One of his wife’s critical challenges at 16

the time was healing her liver. Ralph was interested. He started making kombucha at home. Through the process of fermenting tea to create a brew with high levels of B vitamins, antioxidants and probiotics, Ralph and his wife began to perfect the taste of his brews. In fact, Roseann carefully and diligently worked to perfect 18 different flavors, using pure, organic ingredients such as whole vanilla beans, lemon zest, raw ginger root and strawberries. They ensured the “SCOBY” or pancake-like formation of bacteria and yeast that forms as a result of the fermentation process, remained in a purely organic environment, by using only organic teas. The home-brewed kombucha tasted so good that Ralph and his wife each started drinking up to three pints each day. And amazingly, and immediately, he claims they both saw health benefits. Roseann’s liver enzyme levels fell back to normal ranges and her recurring systemic infections from the IV feedings stopped completely. Compelled by the results, Ralph opened a kombucha production line in his converted garage. His neighbors asked to try it. His engineer asked to try it to improve his sleep and reduce his knee pain, and after seeing results, asked for more for his mother who wasn’t able to eat due to the side effects of chemotherapy (she was back to a full diet within three days of drinking Ralph’s brew). With success story upon success story, and the great taste of the drink, word of mouth began to build Ralph’s production line into a business. Ralph committed himself to sharing

his kombucha with the local Fauquier Community. He served his brew at a kiosk at Gold’s Gym in Warrenton and started offering tastings at local markets. However, he says, that as word spread, the demand was coming from the north and west, as far as Maryland and all around the DC-metro area. One day in 2011, Ralph received a phone call from Native Harvest in Culpeper and they began to offer his kombucha, instead of the national brand, Synergy. At the Native Harvest tasting event to introduce the local kombucha, they sold more cases of Ralph’s brew in one day than they had sold of Synergy in three months. Ralph knew that he, and his now late wife, had created something special. Ralph founded Made To Order (MTO) Kombucha, LLC (MTOK), in June 2011, and designed and opened his brewery in Vint Hill in January of 2014. The company needed a distribution center, warehouse and production line large enough to meet demand. Today, hundreds of case a month and scores of kegs filled with MTO Kombucha are delivered to more than 70 locations in the DC-metro area, including Market Salamander in Middleburg, Gainesville Holistic Center, Advanced Chiropractic in Lansdowne, Neck Back & Beyond in Fairfax, Washington Green Grocer, University of Maryland Center for Health, Organic Butcher of McLean, Eden’s Natural Market in Gainesville, For Goodness Sake in Leesburg, various yoga studios, Everlasting Life Vegan Restaurant in Colonial Heights, Maryland, and Yes!

in DC and Maryland, to name a few. Local eateries and markets such as Hidden Jules Café in Warrenton and Messick’s Farm Market serve the brew as well. “It is amazing,” says Crafts, “people just want to sell it for us. We don’t do sales calls. It is that good.” MTO Kombucha is brewed daily, Monday through Friday, out of the production facility located at 7134 Lineweaver Road in Vint Hill, which is right next to the Old Bust Head Brewery. Old Bust Head serves MTO Kombucha on tap daily. Another benefit to MTOK, Crafts adds, is that when it is consumed with alcohol or the morning after a night out, it is able to restore optimal feelings of health because it rapidly cleanses the liver. MTO Kombucha Operations Manager, Meagan Donica shares, “On New Year’s Eve, Old Bust Head Brewery requested extra for the holiday and brewery owner called me on my cell phone to say they needed more, as soon as possible! We had them res-stocked almost immediately.” She adds, “Our kombucha tastes better than most, and we are building a following of people who expect it and look forward to it at these establishments.” MTO Kombucha also offers tastings inside its Vint Hill location. A tasting room was added to the facility in November to offer a variety of flavors on tap to sample for free (typically eight to ten at a time), and tables for friends and group gatherings. Ms. Donica encourages the community to call ahead to schedule a group tasting 18

(540-364-2639) or just show up during taproom hours, which are Friday 2-6pm, Saturdays 12-6pm, and Sundays 12-4pm. Some showcased flavors include Double Ginger, Hops, Ginger-Lemon, Harvest Spice, Lime-Basil, Raspberry, Cranberry-Pomegranate, and Blueberry. If a returning customer brings a half-gallon “grower,” they may refill at a discounted price. MTO Kombucha is also available in pint-sized Mason jars. Customers may also bring their own glass container to fill from the tap system for a fee close to $4.00/pint, but prices are soon to change, says Ms. Donica. A new price list will be available in February. “Our kombucha is pure—no artificial ingredients, no sugar added, not even any juice—which keeps the health benefits high,” says Ralph. “The flavors are made from the purest ingredients. We go to great lengths to ensure our kombucha is made with only the best ingredients. We order multi-kilo bundles of organic black tea from four different regions around the world—Sri Lanka, India, China, and Malaysia.” Regular drinkers claim improved health from the brew, including the disappearance of symptoms of Lyme Disease, bladder and sinus infections, celiac disease, insomnia, autoimmune diseases, acid reflux, and chronic pain. Perhaps to most interesting customers are the four-legged kind. MTO Kombucha sells to horse owners as a colic preventative and natural de-wormer, and dog and cat owners to aid with skin and digestive issues. Ralph explains that the natural acidity of the drink preps the gut for the probiotics and vitamins to be absorbed. “The body has an incredible capacity to heal itself if given the right fuel,” he says. Some records indicate kombucha may have been introduced to Japan by a Korean physician around 414 AD, and routinely used by Samurai. In January of this year, Harris Teeter created a vendor number for MTO Kombucha, making the grocer the first national chain to sell the product by the pint. Currently, Whole Foods offers MTO Kombucha by the pint and is planning to offer it on tap as well, and Royal Ahold—Giant Foods’ owner—has expressed interest in offering the product. “Our corporate culture is entirely different than that of three MBA’s getting together to try and make a quick profit. We are producing a life-changing product here. I started making this at home to same my wife, and discovered we could make a great tasting, health drink that can impact people’s lives in a good way.” The former tactical jet Marine pilot takes no prescription or pain medications for this many injuries and broken bones, and credits MTOK for his overall great health. He credits MTOK for keeping his late wife Roseann alive for more than 3 ½ years. And in forward-looking news, his new wife Bobbie (recently wed on December 27) is now at Ralph’s side selling MTO Kombucha to the local community. “We’ve had lots of success reaching markets far and wide, but it’s time to really concentrate some efforts here at home in Fauquier,” adds Ms. Donica. Although Kombucha is claimed to have several beneficial effects on health, the claims are not supported by scientific evidence. Kombucha brings some debate within the medical community on safety and efficacy. Consult your doctor before use. Haymarket Lifestyle

he Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center in Haymarket is a T place of beauty in every facet of its

existence. From the volunteers to the employees, the smiles on the faces of the children, the stories of hope from wounded warriors and the spiritual connection the horses make to the people, there is something inspiring to witness just by stepping inside the facility. Executive Director Debi Alexander has so many wonderful stories to tell, some that bring tears to her eyes just by remembering. The pride for the center is evident by the very first words she speaks about the impact it has had not only on the lives of the people involved and treated here, but on her own life. She’ll continually say “this is my favorite one” for each of the stories she describes because there are so many uplifting and heartfelt experiences that happen here. On weekdays, she comes out of her office to greet the children who come to center as part of The Mane Experience. Funded by Minnieland Academy, this program brings children with Intellectual Disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorder to the center for a 2-hour a day experience learning about the horses and riding around the ring performing tasks and games. When asked about their

RAINBOW THERAPEUTIC RIDING CENTER ENHANCES QUALITY OF LIFE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES by Christine Craddock experience here, the children all respond the same: “we love it here” and “it feels terrific” as well as “it makes me feel happy.” One of the teachers who accompanies the high school student points over to a child eating lunch at a table alone and explains that this particular child “would not be able to be this calm” to sit at a table if it weren’t for this program. Another child comes geared up in cowboy boots ready to ride each day, which only emphasizes his enthusiasm for this experience. Although the prediction for The Mane Experience was for the

riders to achieve a 30% success rate on the objectives, the program has been proven to be 100% successful. Teaching not only vocational skills such as caring for horses and equipment, building fences, and learning about farm management, the program also helps to develop social skills, communication, and problem solving and critical thinking. A visitor would only have to witness the children each taking their turn on the horse to fully know the joy it brings. The Wounded Warriors @ Rainbow program, which has been

in existence for 3 years, brings warriors from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center who may be experiencing physical and emotional trauma to receive therapeutic care at the center. Alexander says this unique group of people appreciates coming to a place where they are not treated differently or asked questions; they simply come for therapy at a place nicknamed “the hospital with a dirt floor.” The program has changed the lives of these heroes by allowing them to connect with the horses in a way they might not be able to with others in their lives. Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center practices natural horsemanship, which allows participants to learn to communicate in the horses’ language, which then leads to learning to express themselves in ways that create trust. This can expand their human relationships by helping them to communicate better and open themselves up to trust other people. Alexander says that, in addition to the warriors and children who benefit from the program, there are a number of volunteers who have given their time to the center year after year, sometimes due to their own life struggles. However, this helps to foster comfort and trust with the program participants because they see friendly, familiar faces when they come for riding. Also, the instructors at Rainbow are well studied and trained, and committed to the cause because of their passion for the cause and for these gentle animals who seem to know just how much they are helping people. There are so many people and organizations who have helped this important cause to exist in Haymarket. The Wounded Warriors @ Rainbow program, underwritten by Azalea Charities, the Washington International Horse Show Military Night, and the Warrenton Hunt March 14 Steeplechase, costs about $28,000 to serve 28 recuperating military personnel for 24 twohour sessions per year. The Mane Experience costs $70,000 to serve 50 high school students four days a April 2015

week for two-hour sessions during the school year. The good news is that there are so many more opportunities for individuals and organizations to help expand Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center so that more and more children and adults can be helped here. Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center hopes to find companies and foundations to sponsor special education students during the school year at Rainbow following Minnieland Academy’s example. Minnieland Academy’s founder, Chuck Leopold says “Minnieland Academy is honored to be a part of the Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center’s efforts to help children. The Rainbow Center has worked diligently for nearly 30 years, to facilitate the improvement of the physical and mental health needs of many of our citizens. We are very pleased to underwrite this effort to continue to provide therapeutic progress for the students involved.” More businesses can get involved in this way to give back to the community in an important way. The future plans are for an activity building to be built on the premises of the center as well as a sensory integration playground. The activity building will house a reading room and space for educational play and programs, to serve and help the children and give parents time for themselves. In 2013, the Jesse & Rose Loeb Foundation donated $50,000 towards the activity building, which is estimated to cost $430,000 to complete. In 2014, the Peterson Family Foundation donated $100,000. Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center hopes to find three more donors to match this donation

to begin construction. Another $95,000 has been raised towards the $160,000 playground project. Only $65,000 more is required to make this “play for all” space a reality. These future plans are designed to give families a place to recreate together, especially in a space that is customized to their needs and sensitive to their struggles. Alexander says “the sky is the limit” for what the center can offer but they need help from our community. Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center is hosting an open house on April 25 from 9 am to 2 pm to give parents, children, and adults the opportunity to see what the center offers. Visitors will be able to watch classes and register for programs. Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center is located at 16198 Silver Lake Road in Haymarket, which is just inside the entrance to Silver Lake Park.

VINT HILL - History

Cold War Museum Commemorates the Era’s Last Casualty Major Arthur D. Nicholson, Jr. Remembered by Ed Loomis

“Sir, we thought you were dead.” That was how I was greeted when I returned to my Berlin Brigade infantry company headquarters on March 25, 1985. The Soldiers there had been hearing reports through the day that an American officer had been killed in East Germany. That day, I was coincidently returning along the 100-mile, East German highway that connected West Berlin with West Germany. Unaware of the incident in an era before instant awareness from the Internet and e-mail, cell phones and text messages, a group of sergeants from my platoon and I had been training with the brigade’s F Company, 40th Armored Regiment at a West German training area at Bergen-Hohne. We boarded a bus to travel back through “The Corridor,” our nickname for the single authorized autobahn we could use to travel 100 miles east of the U.S. and Soviet Union checkpoints at Helmstedt from the East/ West German border to West Berlin. We noticed one thing that was different this time from previous trips through The Corridor and East Germany: Soviet Red Army soldiers stood at each off-ramp and controlled who could exit into the countryside.

that something might have happened, I reported the stepped-up activity to U.S. military police as we passed through the checkpoint at the West Berlin end. We pulled in front of the company headquarters, and I was tired from the training and the travels back to our home base, but I was very much alive. Tragically, Maj. Arthur D. Nicholson, Jr., a member of the U.S. Military Liaison Mission in Potsdam, East Germany, a husband, and father, had been killed in an incident mostly long forgotten except by members of his unit at the time and the dedicated volunteer staff members of Vint Hill’s Cold War Museum. The museum is located at the former military listening post near Lee Highway between Warrenton and Gainesville, Va. The Cold War is often thought by people today to have been a decadeslong era of bloodless confrontations and deterrence. In reality, individuals like Arthur Nicholson in the U.S. armed forces and intelligence services lost lives performing missions intended to determine America’s adversaries’ intentions and capabilities, and to contain perceived threats away from our shores. The Incident Thirty years ago this March, the United States suffered its last casualty in the Cold War, and the Cold War Museum at Vint Hill, Va. remembers the anniversary of Maj. Nicholson’s death with an exhibit focused on Nicholson and his unit, the U.S. Military Liaison Mission (USMLM). The shooting on March 24, 1985 came nine days after Mikhail Gorbachev became the final leader of the Soviet Union and four years before the official end of the Cold War. The incident hindered discussions between the Soviet Union and the U.S. government about the first presidential summit between Ronald Reagan and Gorbachev ultimately held late in 1985. USMLM’s mission was to serve as liaison between the American Commander of U.S. Army Europe (USAREUR) and the Soviet Commander of Group of Soviet Forces in Germany. Nicholson and his driver, Staff Sgt. Jesse Schatz, were on a routine visit performed by all six military liaison missions. Outside a largely empty, unfenced Soviet Union military site near Ludwigslust, East Germany, Nicholson dismounted from the U.S. team’s olive 24

US Army pallbearers place the casket of Major (MAJ) Arthur D. Nicholson Jr. inside a C-141B Starlifter aircraft during a departure ceremony on the flight line. Nicholson was shot and killed while on duty in East Berlin, 03/29/1985. Source: National Archives drab, Mercedes 4x4 truck marked with U.S. flag plates to photograph the facility. A Red Army soldier stepped out of a tree line and fired at least twice without warning. “As the U. S. Army’s Intelligence School has indicated, and as we say in our exhibit on Major Nicholson at the museum, he is considered to be the last military casualty of the Cold War,” Cold War Museum Executive Director Jason Hall said. “He’s an example of how the Soviets and the Western allies led by the US continued to face off in Europe with nuclear weapons, while the actual fighting tended to go on elsewhere via proxies.” In a 1988 USAREUR report compiled by a historian from several classified and open source documents, one bullet just missed Schatz in the vehicle while the second struck Nicholson, causing him to call out to Schatz and fall to the ground. Schatz could see Nicholson was wounded, so he found the vehicle’s first aid kit and attempted to dismount, but the soldier who fired and threefellow Soviet soldiers who arrived moments later prevented the American noncommissioned officer from treating the wounded Nicholson. No one on site rendered aid, and though more soldiers continued to arrive, it was not until over an hour later that an unidentified man checked Nicholson’s pulse, which by then had stopped. A subsequent autopsy by USAREUR

medical staff found that Nicholson bled to death. Background and Aftermath A transfer case with Nicholson’s remains covered by a U.S. flag was loaded at Tempelhof Air Base in West Berlin late on March 25. Nicholson’s remains and his family flew to Frankfurt, then proceeded onward to Andrews Air Force Base, Md. where then-Vice President George H.W. Bush, his wife Barbara, and other senior officials met them. Nicholson’s funeral and interment with full military honors was held at Arlington National Cemetery on March 30. The incident that claimed Nicholson’s life had its roots in events that preceded and followed the establishment of the U.S. Military Liaison Mission and its allied and Soviet equivalents. In the fluid security environment of occupied Germany following World War II, U.S., British, French and Soviet military leaders quickly realized they needed to place liaison teams with each other’s armies and their respective occupation zones to communicate more quickly and effectively, as well as increase transparency and confidence between the four wartime allies. Soviet commanders allowed the British, French and Americans to establish liaison missions in Potsdam, across the Havel River from Berlin and near major Soviet headquarters, while the Soviet Haymarket Lifestyle

Red Army set up missions in what was then West Germany with U.S. forces in Frankfurt, the French in Baden Baden, and the British at Bünde. Under the 1946-1947 agreements establishing the missions, members on both sides in official vehicles and in uniform were allowed to visit sites that were not inside a marked permanent or temporary restricted area. The different missions’ liaison roles brought them into contact with the other country’s armed forces. To prevent incidents, USAREUR had very clear guidance that Soviet mission members were never to be harmed and the correct steps to take when encountering them, something the Soviet soldiers did not have when the incident occurred. The USAREUR investigation following Nicholson’s death determined that he and his driver were not in a restricted area, contributing to the protests expressed by the highest levels of the U.S. government and protests delivered to Soviet military and diplomatic officials. According to media reports from 1985 to 1988, Reagan and Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger continued to bring up need for an apology and compensation with Soviet leaders. Finally, Soviet Defense Minister Dmitri T. Yazov gave an oral apology to Weinberger’s successor, Frank Carlucci. The Cold War Museum at Vint Hill Founders of the Cold War Museum include Francis Gary Powers, Jr., son of a CIA U-2 reconnaissance aircraft pilot who the Soviet Union shot down in 1960 while flying over that country, leading to the cancellation of a summit that year between President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Nikita Khruschev. Khrushev’s son Sergei is an honorary board member of the museum. The Cold War Museum’s collection of period artifacts, equipment, uniforms and documents is located in a modestsized, two-story building with adjacent secure storage at Vint Hill, located just off Lee Highway/U.S. Route 29 between Gainesville and Warrenton, less than 30

miles southwest of Washington Dulles International Airport. Vint Hill Farms served as an Army intelligence center and depot through World War II and the Cold War. The non-profit museum’s mission is to educate, preserve, and support research on the global, ideological, and political confrontations between East and West from the end of World War II to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It has chapters in several U.S. and overseas locations: California; Florida; Wisconsin; Puerto Rico; Berlin, Germany; and Russia. The museum’s current home opened in 2011 after several years of planning and fundraising. Prior to the opening, museum staff assembled mobile exhibits that traveled around the country teaching Americans about the Cold War. Ultimately, the Museum plans to construct or acquire a larger facility to house its growing collection of artifacts, a reference library, an education center and museum staff operations. The museum is also playing a leading role in plans for a National Cold War Memorial to be located near Arlington National Cemetery. Museum exhibits include a display of U.S. civil defense items from a headquarters formerly located in Lorton, Va., Warsaw Pact uniforms from the Cold War era, communications equipment, models of period aircraft and vehicles, and numerous photos and information displays. The museum is open Saturdays 11 a.m. - 4 p.m., Sundays 1 - 4 p.m., and other hours by appointment. The museum building is adjacent to the Old Bust Head Brewing Company and Vint Hill Craft Winery, and near the Inn at Vint Hill. Personal postscript After learning about Nicholson’s death on March 25, our platoon returned training equipment to the company’s supply and arms rooms. When I asked my company commander if I should stay in the company area until things settled down, he told me to go home. A ringing, landline phone greeted me as I walked into my apartment. The caller

told me to return immediately with the dress uniform all of us kept ready in our closets. A few hours later, the platoon stood in dress greens and bloused jump boots on the concrete ramp at what was then the U.S. Air Force’s Tempelhof Air Base in West Berlin, rendering honors during a solemn ceremony as Major Nicholson’s remains began their long journey to a final resting place at Arlington National Cemetery and into Cold War history. The Cold War Museum® is a 501(c) (3) charitable organization dedicated to education, preservation, and research on the global, ideological, and political confrontations between East and West from the end of World War II to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The Museum is located at Vint Hill, in one of the former Vint Hill Farms Station buildings used during the Cold War for signals intelligence by the National Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the US Army to safeguard the United States against a surprise nuclear attack. Vint Hill is part of The Journey through Hallowed Ground national heritage area and in close proximity to the Manassas National Battlefield Park, the National Museum of the Marine Corps, and the historic towns of Leesburg, Manassas and Warrenton, Virginia. The Museum shares a campus with The Inn at Vint Hill, the Vint Hill Craft Winery, the Covert Café, and Old Busthead Brewing Company. The Museum’s physical address is 7142 Lineweaver Road, Warrenton, VA 20187.

The 4th Annual

OFFICER down memorial ride Saturday, April 1 8th For families of law enforcement officers, the thought of something tragic happening weighs heavily every time he or she leaves the house for duty. But in those cases where unfortunately, a tragedy does occur, there is an organization dedicated to honoring each and every one of those officers. The Officer Down Memorial Page (ODMP) was founded by Chris Cosgriff, a college freshman who was compelled to action when hearing that a man who was convicted of murdering two Maryland police officers only served 16 years in prison for his crime. When Cosgriff decided to change the focus to the two officers to create a tribute to their ultimate sacrifice, the ODMP was born. This was in 1996 but the online memorial quickly gained traction through the help of the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial Fund, eventually gaining access to thousands of these heroes dating back to the 1790s and even expanding to Australia, New Zealand, Central Europe, and Canada. Cosgriff says, “when a police officer is killed, it’s not an agency that loses an officer; it’s an entire nation.” Since a huge population of federal and local law enforcement officers exists in the Haymarket and Gainesville area, the ODMP

is a cause that is near and dear to their hearts. These men, women, and their families share a unique bond and understanding that is hard to find outside of the career. For these reasons, 4 years ago, the Officer Down Memorial Ride was founded to help fund the memorial page and make others aware of this important cause that pays tribute to these officers and honors them by telling their story. The event attracts over 500 visitors each year, some who arrive on motorcycles for the ride and others who come with their families to hear great music, enjoy delicious food, and support our heroes, both local and around the country. The motorcycle enthusiasts arrive to the event after a 60-mile scenic ride through the Blue Ridge mountains. The Prince William County Motor Squad performs a demonstration that is always popular with kids and adults alike. The bands, 25 and Out and Half Step Down, light up the event with outdoor performances under the tent next to Lion & Bull restaurant. Don’t miss this event at Lion & Bull restaurant at 5531 Merchants View Square in Haymarket from 9 am to 2 pm on April 18. Go to officerdownmemorialride.com to learn more about the event and to register and go to odmp.org to learn about the cause.

New Park for

ChapmanBeverly’s Mill TURN THE MILL AROUND CAMPAIGN SHARES MASTER PLAN

The imposing ruin of ChapmanBeverley’s Mill, a haunting landmark for travelers traversing Thoroughfare Gap, will soon be nestled in an elegant park complete with trails and dedicated parking for visitors. The site, owned and managed by the Turn The Mill Around Campaign, which took over the mill after a fire in 1998 devastated the historic 1742 structure, will begin its transformation in the spring of 2015. Straddling the Fauquier and Prince William County lines, the mill ruins and site sit at the base of the Bull Run Mountain Natural Area, a favorite hiking spot for locals and tourists alike. In December, the TTMAC unveiled its master plan, designed by landscape architect Barry Starke of Earth Designs Inc. The six-acre park will feature a handsome entryway flanked by pillars constructed of indigenous stone to match the mill, a winding, all-purpose trail, historic and archeological information, active archeology sites, restroom facilities, bus and car parking and ADA accessibility to the mill. The design also calls for an amphitheater. The site will be landscaped using trees and shrubs in the pallette of Journey Through Hallowed Ground’s Legacy Project. Chapman’s Mill is part of the Journey. TTMAC’s goal is to have the mill open to the public every day; currently it is open only on weekends. The mill will be closed during the construction of the park. The master plan has been long in its inception. Started five years ago, the project has been wending its way through multiple bureaucracies. The bulk of the $400,000 park price tag comes from federal, state and local grants. However, in order to complete the project, TTMAC must raise $126,000 in matching funds. The first phase of the fundraising is to reach $60,000 by April in order to release the grant funds and get bulldozers on the site. The second phase will come late summer when TTMAC will be seeking $66,000 to complete the park project before Haymarket Lifestyle

A devastating arson fire in 1998 left the mill in ruins.

winter. These efforts will be publicized in local mainstream media and also on social media – Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest. Progress will be tracked on the Chapman’s Mill website, chapmansmill.org. “After so many delays and changes to our design to conform with local ordinances and meet grant requirements,” TTMAC chairman Charlie Seiltheimer said, “It sure is going to be exciting seeing those bulldozers arrive in the spring. This is a whole new era for the mill. It will be a

great public benefit.” Despite an eight-foot fence, donated by Prince William County, that surrounds the site, vandalism continues to be a problem at the mill, which now most of the time is closed to the public. TTMAC anticipates that the completion of a beautiful park and more frequent visitor traffic will curtail this problem. Additionally, security measures will be installed as part of this and all ongoing efforts at the mill. Built in 1742, the seven-story mill, the tallest stacked stone building in North America, required a massive stabilization after the fire gutted the building, destroying the heavy chestnut timbers that supported its six floors and kept the walls stable. The ruins have been stabilized and will be maintained as ruins. TTMAC hopes to restore the mill race and activate the wheel, which can be viewed inside the structure. With the completion of the currently planned improvements, the site and the structure will become more than just a landmark for speeding motorists along I66. It will attract history buffs, and researchers, buses of school children as well as tourists. Chapman’s Mill has proven to be a particularly interesting site for painters and photographers, its image indelible to all visitors. For more information or to make a tax-deductible donation, visit www.chapmansmill.org or email chapmanmill@gmail.com. This article was written by staff at the Turn The Mill Around Campaign.

The mill is an imposing landmark that attracts visitors of all ages.

History

Bushy Park’s past, present and future Efforts to save historic home will prove to be a great investment by John T. Toler

rince William County’s two newest libraries will have a real connection to the past, as each will include existing historic structures brought from elsewhere and added to their site plans. In both cases, the vintage structures were threatened with demolition, and were saved when the county came up with plans to preserve and repurpose them. Both libraries are currently under construction, with completion planned by September 2015. The $13.8 million Montclair Library will include the Barnes House, one of the county’s only surviving examples of a post-Civil War African settlement. The house was moved from Independent Hill to county-owned property to

protect it from ongoing construction on Route 234. As part of the library complex, it will become a reading room and interpretive center. The Gainesville Community Library, located at 14870 Lightner Road near the intersection with U.S. 15, will cost slightly more at $14.2 million. The original core section of the 18th century Bushy Park farmhouse, which once stood on a 243-acre tract along Catharpin Road, was incorporated into the design of the library property, and will serve as a historical interpretive center. While the house itself no longer occupies a historic site, it brings with it a fascinating story. The history of the farm known as Bushy Park goes

Ledbetter’s family, who for all those years had been unable to find where he had been buried. After a difficult investigation, in 1915 Col. Ledbetter’s son Daniel determined who had written the poem and where the author had lived, and came to Bushy Park. There he met with William Buckley, and was brought to the grave. Col. Ledbetter’s gravesite was carefully excavated. The colonel’s sword was recovered and preserved by his family, “…and with his hard-earned savings, his son had a monument and fence erected on the gravesite,” according to the account published in the Sept. 30, 1965 edition of the Manassas Journal Messenger. In the article, Rosamond Hanson recalled that in 1953, she and her husband, Maj. Joseph Hanson, were contacted by Col. Ledbetter’s Stripped of the additions, the Bushy Park house looked much like it did in 1800 – and grandson, Joseph Ledbetter of more like how it will look at its new location by the Gainesville Community Library Nashville, Tenn., who wanted to see later this year.

For more than ten years, the Bushy Park house has been at the Gainesville Community Library site, awaiting restoration. With library construction well underway, it is hoped that the exterior of the house will be ready by mid-September, and the interior work completed in October. Survey done in the 1970s noted that over the years, a 1½ story wing containing a kitchen and bedroom had been added on the east side of the original structure. Another 1½ story addition with a shed roof containing a bedroom and bathroom was built on the north side, and another bedroom was added on the south side. More recently, the Bushy Park property was acquired by US Homes, which began developing the property as part of its Catharpin Valley Estates. The last tenants left the house in 2001, and as new construction came closer, it was likely that the house would be demolished. Fortunately, by then the remains of Col. Ledbetter and his monument had been permanently relocated to the Sudley United Methodist Church cemetery near Catharpin. Committed to saving the house, Prince William County Cultural Resources Coordinator Bob Bainbridge asked US Homes to consider selling the house and the ten acres around it to the county. Later, then-County Library Director Dick Murphy proposed acquiring the house, and moving it six miles to the site of the proposed Gainesville Community Library, which had been donated to the county by Toll Brothers, the developers of Dominion Valley. After restoration, the historic structure would become “a focal point for the construction of the library 38

itself,” said Mr. Murphy in an article published in the June 18, 2004 edition of the Manassas Journal Messenger. In addition to offering exhibits and historical interpretation, other uses include hosting children’s programs, special library events and related community activities. Thunderbird Archeological Associates Inc. conducted a study of the house in October 2002, and determined that the original part was in “excellent condition.” An architectural firm was hired to do the planning phase, including an environmental and technical assessment, and the project put out for bids. Funding for the Gainesville and Montclair libraries would not be approved until the passage of a bond referendum in November 2006, but due to the urgent situation, the county went ahead and acquired the Bushy Park house. Deerchase LLC, a Middleburg company that specializes in the renovation of historic structures, was selected. The structure was in remarkably stable condition, due to the fact that the high basement kept the rest of the house away from moisture, rot and termites. The first part of the job was removing the three sections that had been added over the years. At that point, the original house stood alone, surrounded by orange construction fence, and looking much like it did in

1800. “The eventual plan called for temporary removal of the roof and second story walls, to avoid power lines during transit,” according Deerchase owner Richard Williams in the Journal Messenger article. Openings were covered with plywood, and all of the parts that were removed were tagged, numbered and photographed. The house was ready to go by midJune 2004, and after an uneventful, two-hour trip from Catharpin, was sitting on iron beams and cribbing at the Gainesville library site. The old metal roof was replaced using asphalt shingles, and the structure sealed in anticipation of a full restoration as part of the library complex. The original plan called for the Montclair Library to be open by 2008, and the Gainesville library a year later. However, the Great Recession of 2007 and subsequent revenue shortfalls caused the projects to be delayed. The work begins For ten years, the Bushy Park house stood alone on Lightner Road, looking more like an abandoned hulk than the gem it will become. County staff monitored the site every month, watching out for incidents of vandalism and unauthorized entry into the building. “But it’s a nice community there, and we felt it was pretty well protected because of the neighbors,” recalled Prince William County Historic Preservation Chief Brendon Hanafin. “We met with a couple of homeowners from Dominion Valley who said that they would keep an eye on it.” Before ground was broken for the Gainesville Community Library on June 25, 2014, the Bushy Park house had to be moved across the site to the location where it will be permanently located. In spite of the hard winter, the library will open on schedule, but restoration of the Bushy Park House will take a little longer. “Because the library is an important government building, our plan is to make sure that work on the outside of the Bushy Park House is done, so that it will look nice when the library opens,” said Mr. Hanafin. “We’re probably looking toward October to finish our inside work.

Other necessary furnishings will be acquired through fundraising. Mr. Hanafin notes that local groups, including the Prince William Historic Preservation Foundation (www. preservepw.org) are active in such endeavors. Landscaping the grounds around the building will follow, similar to what was done at the Hall-Hazel Cabin at Brentsville. “We’re hoping to make it like a little farm,” said Mr. Hanafin. “It doesn’t look like there’s much land around the house, but there’s a pond, and we’ll put in some outbuildings, a little pantry garden, hog pen or chicken coop… like you would see on a farm.” He added that some of this work would be ideal Eagle Scout projects. It is significant that the Bushy Park house is in sight of U.S. 15, on the “Journey Through Hallowed Ground,” a celebration of U.S. history in the corridor running from Gettysburg to Monticello. Mr. Hanafin points out that the new location of the Bushy Park house is approximately at the halfway point, and will offer a significant stopping place for persons making the Journey. While the Bushy Park house does not occupy the same patch of ground near Catharpin where it stood for over 200 years, it escaped certain destruction, and like the graves of the Civil War soldiers, will be safe in its new – and final – location. The Bushy Park house has been reborn, with a future as meaningful and exciting as its past.

Police Chief Greg Smith: Out of Retirement, into Haymarket by Patrick Szabo, Haymarket Beat

hen a veteran police officer takes charge of a small-town police department, change tends to happen fairly quickly. In July of last year, following months of controversy and hostility, Chief James Roop resigned from the Haymarket Police Department. This allowed the Haymarket Town Council to instate Greg Smith, 53, as HPD’s interim chief of police. “I was keeping an eye on something that might interest me,” Smith said about his plans after retirement. For 26 years, he worked for the Prince William County Police Department, completing his time there as a captain in the force.In his last assignment with PWCPD, he acted as the eastern district commander, in which he was responsible for the patrol personnel in the eastern portion of the county. In this position, he was in charge of about 200 men and women. “He was definitely an asset to the department and never backed away from a challenge,” said Smith’s colleague, PWCPD Officer Jonathan Perok. “He’s structured and professional.” According to Perok, when Officer Chris Yung was killed in a motorcycle wreck in 2012, Smith played an important role in organizing the funeral. “This was a very difficult time for the department,” Perok said. “I’m sure it wasn’t easy but he nevertheless handled it very well.” Retiring from PWCPD in May 2013, Smith wasn’t just sitting back and relaxing. Instead, he was doing parttime work for theManassas City Police

Department. There, he was involved with a project related to staff development and mentoring. According to Smith, the project was coming to a close just as the interim chief position at HPD was developing. It was last summer that Mayor Leake and the Haymarket Town Council approached Smith with the proposition to become interim chief. Not being new to the idea of heading a small-town police department, Smith was initially open to the idea. “I had been the chief of police in my hometown in Pennsylvania at a young age,” he said. “I have been in a small agency before.” His decision to accept the job, however, didn’t come without some hesitation. Knowing of HPD’s controversial history, Smith took time to think over his decision. “There was some reservation because of some of the issues I had seen in the newspaper here,” he said. After about a week of consideration, though, he decided to fill the position. “I could see the town’s situation and need,” Smith said. “I thought I could strengthen the relationship and reputation of the town police department.” Soon after, at the July 10 “Continuation Meeting” of the Haymarket Town Council, Smith was instated as Haymarket’s interim chief of police—assuming all chief duties. His first objective as chief was to create a drama-free workplace. “The first [goal] was to put the drama

behind us,” he said. “A lot of [the officers] had worked here and had done absolutely nothing wrong but had been forced to work under a cloud for a couple years.” As he got to know the department’s staff, Smith was surprised at what he noticed. “I found the staff very interested in wanting to do the right thing,” he said. “They were ripe and eager for some direction and to be able to work in a drama-free environment.” In the January Town Council Meeting, Smith even had the police staff retake the Law Enforcement Oath. According to him, this was done to restore trust in the department. “I thought it was an excellent idea,” said HPD Officer Jake Davis. The HPD staff has been very accepting of Smith’s presence. “He’s able to sit down with each and every one of us and find out what our strengths and weaknesses are,” Davis said. “He’s a very knowledgeable person.” Being an interim position, Smith’s role as chief with HPD will come to an end once a new chief is selected. He has decided he will not run for the permanent position. “They’ve treated me very, very well here, and it’s not anything to do with that relationship whatsoever,” he said. “I didn’t retire to take on another full-time occupation.” Smith will, however, be a part of the newly formed Police Chief Search Committee. There, he will be helping to search for a chief who will continue to strengthen the department. “It hopefully will be somebody who will take it to the next level in terms of professional conduct and expectations,” he said. “Somebody that’s going to care about the staff.” With so much admiration of Smith’s work ethic, the new chief will have big shoes to fill. “I think we all wish that Smith would stay,” Davis said. “I just hope they find someone with his caliber to take the position.” After the search is over and Smith is relieved of his duties, he will revert to his initial retirement plans. “I will re-retire and I’ll just be hoping that something that’s appealing that’s part time comes along and I’ll take a look at that,” he said.

Wedding: PREPARING FOR YOUR

DISPELLING THE “DAY OF” PLANNER

The term Day-Of Planner has become quite popular. Why? Many venues do not have a designated person for this role and require couples to hire a coordinator in order to ensure that the wedding runs smoothly. For the couple who planned to do the majority of their planning by themselves, the compromise is often to hire a planner to work only the “day-of”. But here’s the problem… The concept of the Day-Of Planner is a bit misguided. In fact, the Encarta Dictionary defines planner as “somebody who plans something.” This indicates forward thinking and organization in advance. In contrast, a Day-Of Coordinator is literally someone that will come to your venue on the day of your wedding and assume a role of leadership and guidance to all the other wedding vendors by answering questions, solving problems, and ensuring a flawless day for you and your guests. Is this something that can truly be left for just that day? Without advanced planning, how can someone arrive on your wedding day and know exactly what you want, how the day should flow, and the policies and restrictions of the wedding venue? How can a coordinator help ensure that the timeline, décor, and 46

small details are attended to as you would like without first taking the necessary time to get to know you, your priorities, and your vision of the perfect day? To ensure that the professional in attendance at your celebration handles everything the way it should be handled, they should be in the loop earlier than just the day of the wedding. By bringing a professional wedding planner into the process even a little bit earlier, you are allowing that person the opportunity to spot potential pitfalls and catch any oversights before it is too late to avoid them. For the plan-it-yourself wedding couples, hiring a professional planner for a month or two before the big day allows time to review the contracts you’ve signed, communicate with your vendors to ensure their plans abide by your timeline, and smooth out any miscommunications or fill any gaps that have not yet been considered. Perhaps even more importantly, hiring a planner for one or two months prior to an event also allows both the couple and the planner some peace of mind. It gives both parties a chance to know each other and build trust. Remember that at the end of the day, you are placing your confidence in your planner to make sure that the smallest

details of your wedding day are flawless. To do that, a planner has to understand what you think will make your day perfect and amazing. This vision is different for every couple. What is most important to you? What are your greatest fears and concerns on your wedding day? Your professional planner can make sure that addressing them is a priority. Your wedding day is a large investment for you and your families. You may be budget conscious whenever a vendor suggests an upgrade. Please know that if a planner does not offer “day-of” services or if one does but suggests an upgraded package, it is intended to help you make better use of those dollars by ensuring they know enough about you and your special day to be successful.

HGBA Member Spotlight Business Name: Middleburg Bank HGBA Member Name(s): Gabrielle Seng HGBA Member since: 2011 Address: 8190 Stonewall Shops Sq. Gainesville VA 20155 Phone: 540-878-2847 Email: gseng@middleburgbank.com Web: www.middleburgbank.com How long have you been at your current job, why did you choose your firm? I have been with Middleburg Bank for ten years now. I had been working for a competitor by in Leesburg and frequently heard from my clients at the time about the great customer service and ease they had in dealing with Middleburg Bank. The Bank was also so involved with the community, so it was a no-brainer when I was approached by a Middleburg representative to come in and talk, that I jumped at the opportunity. All the employees I spoke with in my initial meetings were genuinely happy and proud to work for Middleburg so that coupled with the great things my clients said really shaped my decision to join the company. How does your business serve the HaymarketGainesville community? We offer complete banking solutions for both our consumer as well as our business clients. Please share one of the greatest moments youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced in your business. I think one of the stand outs would definitely be helping a family through the process of getting things straightened out when the family matriarch passed away. There were many small things that kept popping up that needed to be dealt with but knowing the loss the family was going through, being able to personally drive to them and assist them at that time and make things as easy as I could meant a lot to me and I like to think the family involved as well. Have you had an experience with your business that you wish you could redo differently? I am constantly learning new things and ways to better assist my clients from experiences I have. I think that it is an amazing gift we have to keep improving and learning. What are the top 3 business tips & tricks can you offer other business owners & professionals? 1. Take a moment to re-evalute your banking needs and how they have changed since you first started business, what worked for you when you first started your company may not make the most sense as you continue to grow. 2. Ask questions, never be afraid to admit when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand something and you need clarity. 3. And lastly listen to your clients. There is a lot to be learned from them what the market place needs but additionally what it does not. your clients will tell you what is important to them and what the deal breakers are. April 2015

ChickenFever CHOOSING YOUR CHICKENS Types of Chickens

There are many breeds and varieties of chickens to select from when assembling your new flock. Broiler chickens are heavier and more muscled birds as they are specifically bred for meat content. They will produce eggs, but are not as consistent as the more refined egg laying hens. Some breeds are considered dual purpose as they have a decent egg laying yield and are of substantial mass for slaughter. Overall size should be taken into consideration when researching breeds, as variation does exist amongst different types. Standard birds weigh on average around 9lbs whereas miniature Bantam breeds may only be a quarter of the size. Naturally the larger chickens will lay regular sized eggs, whereas dwarfed breeds lay significantly smaller eggs. Whether or not to incorporate a rooster into a flock is personal preference. Some people adore their beautiful coloration and physique while utilizing their guarding nature to protect their hens. For others, however, roosters can be a total nightmare. Their defensive nature can turn to peopledirected aggression, while crowing at the break of dawn and throughout the day can be a serious nuisance. Roosters often fight with one another, so stick with only one if making a purchase.

Laying Eggs

Egg production varies greatly depending on breed, age, size, and individual characteristics of each bird. Chickens may begin laying eggs as early as 6 months and as late as 1 year of age. In it’s prime a chicken will lay one egg every 24-48 hours. Egg production will however be more irregular due to birds molting, temperature fluctuation, nutrition deficits, shorter winter days, lack of regular light, and disease. Choose your

chickens depending on your individual lifestyle and needs. The majority of households keeping pet chickens do not require high egg laying yield and prefer to have a tame, yet hardy pet.

Acquiring Baby Chicks

Local and corporate feed suppliers often carry newborn chicks throughout Spring and early Summer. Their stock is purchased in large quantities from hatcheries that deliver chicks to the store right after hatching. In most cases a minimum number is required for purchase, so ensure you are able to keep just as many adult birds, or have alternate arrangements made for excess. You can also order online directly from select hatcheries who will mail your day old peeps via USPS. This option is ideal if you are looking to purchase a larger quantity and have select breeds in mind. An increasing trend is to take part in a “chicken swap”. There, locals get together and sell or trade chickens of their own breeding or stock. Similar to livestock markets you can browse, bid on, and select birds of your choice. This is an especially intriguing option for people looking to acquire older hens.

Raising Chicks

For the first two weeks of life baby chicks have to be kept confined with a heat lamp, and full access to food and water. A converted bin, trough, muck tub, or cage can easily be designed to suit your needs. Keep in mind placement of your heat lamp to avoid fire hazards or overheating the chicks. Ensure to feed a medicated starter diet specifically formulated for growing chicks in order to fend off and prevent parasites. When birds become more mature around 2 weeks of age, they can be transported outdoors. Wait for the weather to be mild or warm before exposing them to their

permanent location. If you have adult chickens and are looking to integrate your flock, ensure younger birds are nearly full grown to prevent bullying and fights. In this case you may need an intermediate enclosure. Hand feed, handle, and pet your birds as chicks so that they grow into confident and tame adult pets.

Chicken Health

Parasites - Both internal and external parasites may effect your chickens. The key is to identify signs of infection, provide early intervention, and design a prevention plan for your flock. Internal parasites common in chickens include roundworm, caecal worms, thread worms, tape worms, and gape worms to name a few. External parasites include a variety of mites, lice, ticks. Internal and external parasites can be controlled pharmaceutically through products form your local livestock supply retailer, as well as environmentally by maintaining, cleaning, and treating your flock’s living quarters. Temperature Effects - Prolonged exposure to high temperatures will cause over heating in your chickens. Ensure in summer months that coops have plenty of ventilation and that fresh water is readily accessible. In extreme heat consider providing a water mist option to help birds cool down and have plenty of shade accessible. In colder months 50

Disease - Many infections could potentially effect your flock, some of which may have an impact on overall herd health or individual birds. Common diseases that affect chickens include (but are not limited to): Rickets, Coccidiosis, Marek’s Disease, Mycoplasmosis, Avian Influenza, Colibacillosis, Fowl Cholera, and Fowl Pox. Most fowl have a very sensitive respiratory system making them prone to a whole variety of upper respiratory diseases. The main things to look for when questioning the health of your flock is: coughing, sneezing, head tilts, discharge, gasping, swelling, discoloration, scabbing, irregular stools, paralysis, and growth deficiencies. Vaccinations are available for some diseases, although practice in small pet flocks is less common than in large scale chicken farming. Most disease is introduced through contaminated clothing, equipment, wild birds, or new chickens to a flock.

Housing

Chicken Coops - Housing can range from premium commercial products to makeshift DIY hutches. Whether you purchase a prefabricated coop or are feeling handy- here’s a few things to consider for your construction: • Ample room to fit your birds as adults Roosting materials so your chickens can perch • Nesting boxes that will accommodate adult size and number of hens to lay eggs • Ventilation to allow proper air flow and prevent upper respiratory issues • Easy access so that the house can be cleaned regularly • Predator proof doors, latches, and roof • Your birds will need a feeder, waterer, and plenty of clean bedding. Most commonly dust-free pine bedding or papered litter is used. Try to avoid cedar or harsh smelling substrates as it can agitate the respiratory system. Outside Containment - In contrast to large scale commercial farms, the majority of pet chickens are allowed

some access to forage and exercise outside. If you are able to supervise your chickens and have low risk for predators, then true free range may be a viable option. However, for the majority of people in our area constructing an enclosed yard, pen, or run may be the safest. Assembling outside containment can be as easy as putting together a prefabricated dog run, hammering in t-posts with chicken or welded wire, or as complicated as building a fully predator proof fence with under ground wiring and roofing. Consider the layout of your yard, risk, and your other pets when making your installation. Preventing Predation - Predator control is vital for your flock as our area is also inhabited by coyotes, foxes, bob cats, raccoons, and various birds of prey. Homesteads that are already using guarding dogs for livestock management may be able to put their flock under canine patrol. However creating a safe outdoor enclosure, locking free range birds up at night, and keeping feed indoors will help minimize risk for more suburban and urban homeowners. Take your other pets into consideration as well as feral cats when setting up your flock.

Restrictions

If you are thinking of investing in a flock, check with your local legislation and home owners association to ensure your property is preferably zoned and allows for chickens. Some areas have limits on numbers whereas others outright ban the keeping of poultry. Further rules apply to the keeping of roosters as their early morning crowing is prohibited by some noise ordinances. Keeping chickens can be a very rewarding experience. Ensure you have the correct containment, nutrition, supplies, and health plan in place before making your purchase. There are a number of fancy and exotic breeds to select from, but make sure you take hardiness, temperament, and size into consideration for your flock. Raising chicks is a joyful experience for the whole family, yet purchasing adult birds is a viable alternative if you are uninterested in the early rearing.

Party N Fiesta Working with family can be a party!

For many of us, there are people in our lives who played pivotal roles in determining which way our futures lead us. For Kamal Balani, owner of Party N Fiesta in Gainesville, this person was his grandmother. In 1984, Balani’s grandmother moved to the United States and helped to sponsor him and his family to also make the journey here in 2005. He credits this wonderful woman with giving him the opportunity to grow, learn, and eventually own his own business, which he opened in September of 2014. After years of experience moving up to a management role at various positions in retail and restaurants, Balani wanted more. His desire was to “own a business and take care of it” while also doing “something better for not only myself but for the community.” After months of research and exploring different concepts, Balani soon realized that what was missing in the Gainesville and Haymarket area was a party store, which would fit in well in an area popular with growing families who gather to celebrate many different occasions. Party N Fiesta is completely family owned and operated, as Balani’s wife Swati manages the store most days with his mother and brother helping out too. Balani hopes to “keep the family owned business ideas alive in the community” while serving customers with a personal approach and getting to know others in the area. Party N’ Fiesta can provide party supplies for all different types of celebrations, including balloon displays, while keeping prices reasonable. One of the Balani family members will actually set up the decorations at the events, if that is requested. Already existing customers have brightened up their church, 52

wedding, and school events as well as baby showers and birthday parties with decorations from Party N’ Fiesta. The balloon selection is extensive, including a variety of solid colors or printed latex displaying general messages, like happy birthday, and even superhero, cartoon, Disney characters, and movie and television themes. Balloon creations include centerpieces, columns and arches but the family can also create a custom idea to fit uniquely themed events. Party supplies in the store include themes for boys and girls and include paper plates and utensils, gift bags and tissue paper, invitations and cards, as well as goodie bag toys and many other party needs. The store also carries seasonal items to decorate for the holidays throughout the year. Party N’ Fiesta is located at 7986 Crescent Center Drive near the Harris Teeter in Gainesville. To contact the store, go to partynfiesta.com or call 571-261-9123, and also add the business on Facebook to learn about coupons and store promotions.

Tin Cannon Brewing Company YOUR LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD BREWERY LOVES WHAT IT DOES 54

or Aaron Ludwig and John Hilkert, owners of Tin Cannon Brewing Company in Gainesville, mixing business with friendship is what led their dreams to become reality. After a chance meeting through their children and the discovery of a common homebrewing interest, Hilkert and Ludwig took turns creating batches of brew together at each other’s homes for years. Because each brew session was comprised of about 8 hours, naturally the conversation flowed between the two friends, usually about how much they loved the hobby, compliments they got from friends and family on their brews, and especially how they’d both love to be able to quit their jobs and brew for a living. Both men say they wanted to “love what we do, not just do something to pay the bills.” It wasn’t until a book about how to start a brewery was given as a Christmas gift to Ludwig, who read it cover to cover in a day and then passed it along to Hilkert who did the same, that the two really felt this could become a reality. The next several months were spent making plans including sketching the brew house setup, drafting a business plan, and registering their business, along with finding a space, planning the layout, and designing Haymarket Lifestyle

it. With the help of their family and friends, Hilkert and Ludwig held the grand opening of Tin Cannon on November 28 to a crowd of excited customers. The story behind Tin Cannon’s name is a prime example of how humble, down-to-earth, and laid back these two guys are. A joke about the sketches of the brewing barrels looking like tin soup cans turned into Hilkert and Ludwig wondering if visitors would call them the “tin can” brewery. Ludwig then commented that it should be called Tin Cannon to honor the rich civil war history in the area. The name stuck and the business became Tin Cannon Brewing Company complete with a modern cannon logo. Ludwig and Hilkert’s vision for the space was for it to be “fun, comfortable, and enjoyable” - an environment that they themselves would want to visit to enjoy great craft beers. And because they are running a nano-brewery, they have the “flexibility to really experiment with the flavors” without risking a loss of a huge batch. Hilkert’s perspective is that he approached a visit to wineries and breweries as an “adventure - a destination spot” and he wanted Tin Cannon to give that feeling to visitors too. Both Hilkert and Ludwig have future goals for expansion and distribution but for now, they are thrilled if people think of Tin Cannon as “Gainesville’s local neighborhood brewery.” One of their favorite things 56

to do with their customers is give them a tour of the brewing area and teach them a little bit about the brewing process, which is the driving force behind the entire concept so their passion for brewing may be most evident at these moments. Tin Cannon Brewing Company offers many different craft beer selections hand brewed by the owners. For example, the Belgian Judy is a Belgian blonde ale with a “slight sweetness and malt character that is very balanced and neutral.” Ludwig and Hilkert say this could be the perfect entry level beer for someone who is hesitant to step into the craft beer world. The Busted Pipe would be perfect for those who like dark ales. This black IPA specialty blend was created in the winter in the garage in the early days of brewing, when a pipe busted, threatening to destroy the batch until Ludwig saved the day by shielding it. Hence the name Busted Pipe. It seems that each new batch has a story behind it, which makes visitors feel the personal connection the owners have to the business. New concoctions are introduced to customers to gauge their popularity and to enjoy new flavors with the changing seasons. In February, a new brew was created called Twin Cannon, a double IPA with a fruity apricot and peach flavor and “hop character.” Visitors will find brew selections that cannot be found any other place, like the Bacon and Chipotle and a Peanut

Butter Porter that are slowly becoming customer favorites. Customers can order sampler flights, half pints, pints, and 32 or 64 ounce growlers. Although the brewery does not serve food, it can be brought it from local restaurants, ordered from nearby Mama Mia Pizza, or served from food trucks on select weekends. Tin Cannon Brewing Company is located at 7679 Limestone Drive in Unit 130 in Gainesville. Open on Fridays from 4 to 9 pm, Saturdays from 1 to 9 pm, and Sundays from 1 to 8 pm, the brewery is sure to become a local favorite for families and couples to enjoy quality, unique brews in a comfortable atmosphere. Be sure to check tincannonbrewing.com, add them on Facebook, or call 571-2480489 to find out about new concoctions and events.

If longevity and experience mean anything to winemakers, then Louis Papadopoulos can be considered a master. Following in his family’s footsteps, Papadopoulos began making wine in his native Greece in 1961. Migrating to the United States in 1964 and, eventually, to northern Virginia in 1984, Papadopoulos continued making wine in addition to being a renown goldsmith. After training him to be a goldsmith, Papadopoulos turned the family jewelry store over to his son to devote more time to his vineyard and winery north of Warrenton. The wines reflect the Greek tradition of having wine available for snacks and meals in a relaxed setting with family and friends. Additionally, Papadopoulos does not believe a wine should be rushed to the consumer. One look at the wines available for tasting shows several that are eight to ten years old. Of the white wines, the Chardonnay has distinctive

CELLARS vanilla overtones that pair well with cheeses, poultry and seafood. This carries over to other whites, like the softer 2010 Pinot Grigio and the surprisingly dry and fruity Riesling, Moscato and Viognier. The age of each of these wines mean pork, ham and chicken pair well them, in addition to a wider variety of cheeses. Ask Katie Papadopoulos for some excellent pairing suggestions. The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2007 Merlot go beautifully with red meats and dark chocolates. A big surprise is the 2007 Romance, described as a “deck wine” when paired with cheese or even turkey. Looking for something unique? Taste the 2008 Rechina, a traditional Greek Retsina. Pair this with cheese, lamb, olives or grape leaves for an authentic, sumptuous meal. Families and picnics are encouraged, but please leave the dog at home. Steve Oviatt is President of the Haymarket Gainesville Business Association and runs his own consulting business in addition to working for a number of local wineries. Steve Acknowledges that his daughter has taught him everything he knows about wine. He lives in Catharpin with his wife, Nancy. April 2015

Infertility...

Identifying the causes and options Why can’t I get pregnant? Couples struggling with infertility can feel lonely, especially when it seems like every other couple they know is expecting a baby. NASCAR power couple Samantha and Kyle Busch can relate. The couple had tried for two years to get pregnant. The Busches certainly weren’t alone in their struggle given that infertility affects 15 percent of couples of childbearing age. What is infertility? “Infertility is when a couple cannot successfully get pregnant after trying for one year,” said Dr. JoAnne Gutliph of Novant Health Prince William OB-GYN. “It can be caused by several factors and it’s not something that just affects women. Men can have issues with infertility as well.” After many months of trying to get pregnant, Samantha and Kyle Busch learned they each had reproductive issues after being referred to the REACH fertility clinic in Charlotte, North Carolina. “Infertility can stem from a collection of things,” Gutliph said. “There are different factors, like behavioral and lifestyle factors, environmental factors and physical factors.” What causes infertility? Behavioral and lifestyle factors for both men and women include excessive alcohol and tobacco use, as well as vitamin deficiencies. Women can be affected by increased caffeine consumption, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle, as well as being underweight and excessively exercising. Men can be affected by emotional, psychological or relational stress that can decrease sperm production. Even environmental factors, such as exposure to pesticides and lead, can disrupt ovulation and normal hormone

function. “Age is definitely a factor,” Gutliph said. “A woman’s chances of getting pregnant start to decline around age 32. For men, it’s around age 35.” Sperm shape and movement, as well as sperm count, contribute to a man’s fertility or infertility. For women, infertility can be caused by inflammation and scarring of the fallopian tubes and the uterus. Hormone imbalances can also cause polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common cause of female infertility. Samantha Busch learned PCOS was a component of her and Kyle’s struggle to conceive. Female fertility can also be affected by various medications and medical conditions, such as thyroid dysfunction, kidney disease, cancer, early menopause and more. What can couples do? There is hope in the face of infertility, as the Busches can attest. “There are several options for couples who struggle with infertility,” Gutliph said. “These options can be anything from lifestyle changes and medication to surgery and assisted reproductive technology.” Since Samantha Busch has PCOS, she was prescribed Clomid, a drug that helps level out hormones. After they were each tested and learned they

would need a little help conceiving, the couple chose to tap into assisted reproductive technology with in vitro fertilization (IVF). So far, it’s been a successful journey – they are expecting a baby boy in May. Along the way, Samantha Busch had documented her family’s experience with infertility on her blog, where she highlighted the various medications and procedures they tried in an effort to support other couples in similar situations. “We decided to share our journey publicly on my blog because we didn’t know anyone who had gone through it,” Samantha Busch said. “I felt anxious and overwhelmed at times (after we decided to go through) the whole IVF process, and thought I could be a comfort to other women as they began their journey.” She advised other couples to be proactive to help identify potential fertility issues early. “If possible, ask your doctor early on to do a blood panel to check your hormone levels and an ultrasound to check your ovaries,” Samantha Busch said. “It’s also a good idea to have your husband’s sperm count checked. People try to reassure you that there really isn’t anything to fret about until after six months to a year of trying, but it could have saved us a lot of frustration if we had done these things early on.”
