Hay (as in Haymarket) Folks, It’s August: the dog days. What an interesting expression. One could think of these days as ones enjoyed by old, haggard hound dogs, lounging in the shade on the worn porch boards of an ancient farm house, carefully calculating every move so as to not expend a single unnecessary calorie of energy. Even the drooping wrinkles under their eyes and their sagging jowls are somehow a measure more relaxed these days. One could also think of the dog days as a labrador retriever who passionately celebrates the prospect of sloshing around in a pond. He could have visited that pond a thousand times, but to him, every time he sees the cattails and hears the lazy croaking of the bullfrog, he sees another opportunity to relish in his life’s purpose… one that he is just not wired to postpone.

So this is the perfect time to continue with our annual Best AY of Haymarket Poll. As we have for MA the past 4 years, our staff has assembled RK an online ballot of more than 50 categories ET ranging all aspects of life in Haymarket based on your suggestions. Go to HaymarketLifestyle.com, click on the link and take a look at the competition. Maybe there’s a restaurant that you’ve been meaning to try, but haven’t gotten around to yet? Time to do your due diligence and educate yourself as a voter. Try out the contenders. Don’t heat up the kitchen; instead, find a patio to enjoy your dinner al fresco. Or maybe skip dinner altogether and have an ice cream sundae for your repast.

Do it before the poll closes August 8th. Do it in the name of democracy.

the issue

inside

Old Man Winter isn’t exactly knocking on the door quite yet, but he may have just noticed the EXIT 40-HAYMARKET sign on I-66. The kids will be going back to school soon, and in-between visits to the warehouse store for provisions for the lunchboxes or dorms, I want you to take some time to really enjoy this summer as if it were going to end tomorrow. There are so many activities to enjoy in this beautiful area. Whether you plan to paddle around Silver Lake, or pack up the kids for a hike on Bull Run Mountain, play through nine holes of golf at any one of the area’s spectacular courses, or just find a quiet shady spot to enjoy the summer breeze and a good book, truly treasure the moment. Don’t put it off. You know how to do this. Now, get out there and have some fun. Get dirty. Tire yourself out. Just like the dogs who instinctively know how to squeeze the essence of bliss into their days, you were made for moments like these.

My very best,

Kristin Heydt

Fauquier Health Wound Healing Center Celebrates Success The Fauquier Health Wound Healing Center opened at 493 Blackwell Road, Suite 101A in Warrenton in June of 2009. For five years, it has filled an urgent need as the only facility of its kind in the area.

Likely candidates for treatment are those suffering from diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections and wounds that haven’t healed within 30 days. One of the highly specialized treatments offered at the Wound Healing Center is hyperbaric

oxygen therapy, which works by surrounding the patient with 100 percent oxygen at higher than normal atmospheric pressure. This increases the amount of oxygen in the patient’s blood and — in the case of wounds — allows red blood cells to pass more easily through the plasma into the wound to heal it from the inside out. Diabetic foot wounds are an example of wounds that may benefit most from this type of treatment.

Specialized Wound Healing Care, Close to Home Fauquier Health Wound Healing Center employs the use of tissue oxygenation, vascular studies, tissue culturing and pathology, revascularization, bioengineered skin grafting and clinical or surgical debridement.

For more information about the Fauquier Health Wound Healing Center or to make an appointment, call 540-316HEAL (4325).

The

Gardener Grows Up

by Lynne Galluzzo

The past winter was unusual, and because of it, several plants did unusual things. Of course, the plants that were damaged have cost us money and heartache.

All of the area’s Rosemary died as well as all of the Hardy Gardenias. Heather took a big hit; leaving once lush shrubs with ugly combinations of brown and green. I wish I could cut all of the Heathers back to shapely mounds, give them some food and let them start over.

But everything I have read has said that if I cut Heather back below the green it would be fatal. So, for some people I have dug the whole plant out and for some I have cut out some brown, applied fertilizer and we are waiting to see if there will be improvement. If I had any Heather in my yard I would have tried cutting it back just to see if I could get new growth, but I don’t and I am not going to ask anyone who loves their Heather for a test site.

Many crape myrtles in the area are starting back from the base, including all but two of mine. The only one that makes me really sad is the Natchez that I had to move. I nursed it though transplant shock and loved its fountain of white flowers for at least six years. Today I cut off dead branches, trimmed back to green some others and thinned out the base growth. I know it will be beautiful again but it will be a few years. It is interesting that my white flowering crape myrtle took a hit because I have been finding that the majority of damaged plants in the area have red or dark pink flowers. Perhaps the darker flowered crape myrtles are more sensitive and/or more tropical.

My fig tree is starting over from the base as well as a Butterfly Bush that I was training into tree form.

Hydrangeas are all starting over on new wood. If you have a classic old hydrangea that blooms on last year’s stalks, you might not see flowers this year. If you have 10

the new hydrangeas that bloom for a long time on new wood then get ready for a show. All of these plants are full and lush and getting loaded with buds. On that same line – I have seen plants that have languished and been disappointing for years become something to talk about this year. A Star magnolia in Heritage Hunt that did nothing much for years grew and bloomed and really surprised its owners. Evergreens are looking far better than they did with the two previous warm, dry winters. It is all part of the balance of nature which to me is a never ending and always fascinating story.

This year I have had the good fortune to work with an experienced and award-winning landscape designer who moved here from Long Island to be closer to family. Jim Morgan designed a beautiful makeover for the front of a home in Broad Run and I and my crew were the lucky ones that took it from a black and white design to a colorful reality. In the process of executing this transformation, we had to move some almost blooming Peony bushes. Everything I know about Peonies says that they really don’t like to be moved once established and if they have to be dealt with at all to do it in the fall. It was May, the Peonies were old with big fat buds all over them and Jim said, “Not a problem.”

I will share with you his transplant method that was so good the Peonies didn’t even droop. First you dig the new hole that the plant is going into and fill it with water. Then dig around the plant you are moving-- far enough that you create a fairly solid root ball.

Put some Biotone in the water-filled hole and set the plant in. Replace the dirt around it firmly and then water again to set the dirt around the roots. We have moved several plants of different kinds since then and by following this method it has been successful every time. Thanks, Jim. This method is invaluable. I would also like to say that his on-paper designs are artwork in themselves, whether it is for a small yard or a large development each one is frame worthy to me.

This summer I will turn 65 and I’m feeling the need to make my flower garden less work and more enjoyable. Ten years ago I had the desire, the vision, the time and the energy to create a flower packed paradise. I wanted multitudes of blooms in great colorful swaths with bees and butterflies flying around; making any English cottage garden envious. Now that I have a business that takes a lot of my time and energy, I still want a beautiful garden. I think I can have something lovely but without as much fuss. I am keeping the roses that survived the winter and pretty much all of the perennials. But instead of filling empty spaces with small flowering plants, I am going to use flowering shrubs and interesting evergreens. I think the variety of levels, colors and textures will make a garden that is even more interesting and highly personal. There is a new Weigela on the market called French Lace. It has variegated leaves and dark pink, almost red flowers. I have used three of them in other people’s gardens and I am planning on at least one in mine. It is sensory overload to read the rows of tags on Hydrangeas. There are so many different sizes, flower types and colors.

I am even making a front border out of five Hydrangea Rios for a house in Evergreen this week. One of my

favorite new Evergreens in Black Dragon. I have seven in different areas of my yard but I think the perfect cone shape and dark green sculptural form would set off my Double Pink Knock Out Rose perfectly. I am giving up on cutting branches off of the Cherry tree so that the garden has more light. Realistically, I might be beyond climbing trees with a chainsaw and shade plants are nice ,too. Hopefully, when you read this I will have finished mulching all of my clients’ gardens and I will have started creating the “New-Old Garden”.

The message here is to be truthful with yourself about what you can realistically maintain. Cutting back, digging out, sodding over is all okay.

Gardens are supposed to be fun not tiresome guilt trips.

Thanks to the winter I have empty spaces to fill with interesting new plants, and thanks to Jim Morgan I can now move things around and not lose them. And thanks to my refocusing vision, I might just make this happen!

Lynne Galluzzo, otherwise known as the “Garden Lady,” planted her roots in Haymarket nine years ago. She and her husband, Gary live on ten acres which they garden extensively. Lynne applies what she learns in her gardens to her garden maintenance business - The Garden Lady.

Life After Lasik

Over the past 20 years, millions of people have had Lasik or PRK surgery to correct their vision. It’s liberating to be able to see without glasses – but if you’ve had this type of surgery, here’s 5 reasons why you should still schedule regular eye exams:

1. Retina Risk. Your correction may no longer measure -5.00, or -3.25, or -7.50 — but your retina doesn’t know that! People who are moderately or severely myopic (near-sighted) have a higher susceptibility for retinal problems including retinal detachments. Whether you have had laser vision correction or not, you should have regular eye exams that include retina evaluation.

2. Eyes Change. Laser refractive surgery corrects the vision problem but does not keep your eyes from changing in the future. Some people are concerned that if they start wearing glasses again, they will end up with a strong prescription again. The good news is that rarely happens! But may find your night driving is clearer, safer and more comfortable with a small prescription. Or you may benefit from a prescription that will make you more comfortable when you use computers and digital devices. Some post -Lasik patients benefit from occasional use of one day disposable contact lenses for playing sports. To be your best, see your best!

3. Your Body Changes. Many systemic conditions, and the medications used to treat them, can affect your eyes — whether you need glasses or not. People who have diabetes, thyroid disease, a history of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, auto-immune disease, blood 14

disorders, elevated blood pressure and other medical problems should have annual eye exams 4. Glaucoma has been called the “silent thief of vision” because there are almost no symptoms prior to permanent loss of vision. For that reason, glaucoma is typically detected during an annual eye exam. Whether you have never needed glasses, or whether you no longer need glasses because of laser correction, you are just as much at risk for glaucoma as people who wear glasses.

Always inform your eye doctor that you have had laser vision correction.

Sometimes the cornea heals so well that your eye doctor may not be able to tell. People who have had laser vision correction show eye pressure (glaucoma test) results that are artificially low. Your eye doctor needs to take laser vision correction into consideration when he or she determines your risk factors for glaucoma.

5. Many people have dry eyes and / or allergies. When these conditions are not properly treated, both vision and comfort are affected. Eye doctors often detect these, and many other medical conditions, during an annual eye exam.

A comprehensive eye exam can protect and preserve your vision for a lifetime!

Ally Stoeger OD provides eye examinations at GH Eye located in Gainesville Va. Please feel free to contact Dr. Stoeger with any of your eye care questions at 571-445-3692.

Final Goodbyes Battlefield’s Class of 2014 Moves On to Bigger, Brighter Futures This month, Battlefield’s Graduating Class of 2014 will say goodbye to family and friends and leave home to start the next chapter of their lives. The rising college freshmen will be newly independent, in an unfamiliar place surrounded by unfamiliar people.

In order to fully embrace their new lives, they must leave behind significant parts of their old ones.

“It’s pretty bittersweet,” says graduate Briana Warner, “but I’m too excited to really be sad about it.”

In Briana’s case, the anticipation of freedom overshadows the dread of leaving loved ones behind. “I’m going to miss everyone for sure,” she says, “but I’ve been waiting to go to college for as long as I can remember and I’m so ready to start this new chapter in my life.” Briana will be attending East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina this fall.

Anthony Vanderveldt, a rising freshman at George Mason University, can relate to the bittersweet feeling Briana has. “Leaving high school is exciting but also upsetting since you’re being separated from all the friends you’ve made over the years,” he says. But as August comes to an end, everyone is going down different paths and all those friends are going their separate ways.

Top: Anthony Vanderveldt commemorates the occasion with close friend Joey MacDonald, both excited to have finally completed high school.

Middle: Briana Warner walks across the stage among other graduates to receive her diploma.

Bottom: Briana gets ready to leave home by packing her belongings in a new East Carolina University themed trunk from the Dowdy Student Store.

Of course, there will be a lot of changes to adjust to. The new structure of college classes, the challenge of navigating campuses, and the new lifestyle that accompanies dorm living can all be intimidating. However, after staying on campus during freshman orientation, Briana was relieved. “It didn’t feel like some random place,” she said, “the room felt like someplace I could make home.”

And she won’t be going it alone; a big part of dorm life is having a

roommate. Luckily, Briana handpicked her roommate and is confident that they will be compatible. “We met on Facebook,” she reveals, “and she’s almost exactly like me. We’ve agreed on everything room wise and I really like her.” A good relationship with roommates will definitely make the transition smoother.

However, there’s still a lot to prepare for. Colleges know how stressful this can be for incoming freshmen, so they do all they can to assist them in the process. Briana fully intends to take advantage of East Carolina’s help.

“ECU has a really convenient catalog where you can order a jumbo pack of comforters, mattress pads, towels, hampers, the works,” Briana says, “I’m pretty much set for everything I need, and on August 21st I’m Greenville bound!”

For four years, Battlefield has been all these students have known.

They have been surrounded by more or less the same people, the same environment, and the same routines.

Starting over entirely can be daunting, and college is a completely clean slate.

Despite the nerves and the anxiety, through the anticipation and the changes, there is a feeling of ultimate optimism. Anthony, along with everyone else leaving home this month, expects great things from college. “It brings a new beginning,” he raves, “a new adventure, and although it can be scary, you can’t help but to be excited for the thrilling experience of what’s to come.”

Like Anthony, the rest of the Class of 2014 is looking ahead; ready to face this new frontier. Battlefield has prepared its graduates for their next step, from Bobcats to Pirates and Patriots. August is not only a time for goodbyes, but also for new beginnings.

OVERCOMING

OBESITY Let’s be Real!

Just over a month ago, a 55 year-old man came into our facility for a fitness evaluation. As experienced physical trainers, our assessments determine physical limitations, define dietary habits, and evaluate their baseline fitness level in a short workout session. As I talked with this client, I learned more about his medical history. He revealed to me, “My doctor told me that I have entered the beginning stages of Type II Diabetes and he put me on medication.

I’m already on meds for my high blood pressure and high cholesterol.” He went on to say that he now weighs more than he ever has in his life, and he feels awful. He’s only 55!

Does he remind you of someone you know? Maybe even yourself? Do you feel like you are “circling the drain”?

Unfortunately, due to changes in the modern lifestyle, this is becoming the norm. Middle aged people are eating, drinking and smoking their way to a shorter life or a more restricted lifestyle at alarming rates. Here are some eyeopening statistics on obesity in the United States from the CDC website.

•

More than one-third (34.9%) of all adults are obese

•

Men aged 40–59 had a higher prevalence of obesity (39.4%) than did men aged 20–39 (29.0%) and men aged 60 and over (32.0%).

•

Among women, the prevalence of obesity did not differ between those aged 40–59 and 60 and over (39.5% compared with 38.1%).

No doubt, you already know obesity CAN KILL YOU. It’s strongly linked to cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, diabetes mellitus, and even certain cancers, e.g. colon, breast, and prostate cancer. Not to mention other conditions that rob quality of life such as depression, arthritis and other orthopedic complications.

Yet, despite those scary complications, we foolishly continue our current lifestyle because fitness somehow 18

seems harder. We find every excuse there is to not to take small steps that will vastly improve our lives If you have an excuse, I’ve heard it. I’ve listed the most common below – do you find your excuse there?

•

I’m fine the way I am, I want to enjoy my life and not deny myself those pleasures! Getting healthy and staying active will not only deliver you freedom and happiness, it will give more time and energy to enjoy your family, travel, and be more productive at work. A healthier you will emerge if you follow the “80%-20% rule”!

Most of the time, exercise regularly and eat healthy; every now and then eat a piece of cheesecake and splurge. Many people find it easiest to plan and look forward to a Friday or Saturday “Cheat Night,” where they dine out, enjoy their favorite beverage and indulge in a dessert. The key is to make those indulgences the exception instead of the rule.

•

I’m too old: It’s never too late to start. Did you know we have a dozen clients between 62 and 71?

They participate, at their own pace, in the same workouts the rest of our clientele does. They lift weights, they run, and they jump. You would be amazed at what you can accomplish! I know it’s hard getting some older adults to exercise – I couldn’t convince my very own father to exercise and eat healthier until about age 70. He turns 76 this month and is healthier than he was at 65!

Just make sure that when you are considering gyms to join that they offer thorough evaluations and can provide any extra instruction/ support you might need to get started. Checking in with your physician is always recommended.

They should cheer you on in your adoption of new healthy habits and provide guidance in avoiding exacerbating existing conditions.

•

“I don’t have the time!” I get it.

We are all busy. We have more demands on our time than our parents had. The fact is, you have to prioritize where and when you

20

spend your time. How much of that time is spent on the couch in front of the TV, or scanning through Facebook on your tablet?

Think about it this way: If you exercise 4 hours per week; that’s only 2% of the hours in a week.

Isn’t it worth it to invest 4 hours per week in yourself to ensure that you’re healthy and mobile when you’re in your 70s and 80s?

veterans that continue to exercise after losing a limb or experiencing a life altering injury. You can find a professional trainer to help you work around your injuries.

Many of our clients have existing injuries, and trainers are there to provide them with alternative exercises to accommodate their needs. There is always something you can do, you just have to ask!

•

I can’t afford it! It’s really not an excuse; it’s a choice! We’ve found a way to afford multiple computers, TVs, tablets and smartphones in our homes.

According to Experian most people spend between $400 and $500 per month on a monthly car payment. You’ll invest hundreds of dollars in those “must haves,” but you can’t invest in your health?

You can choose to prioritize your health when it comes to your budget, can’t you? Think about it this way. How long will that new car last? Less than 10 years, and for most, it’s on to the new one in four because you tire of the model or see something nicer. You can’t get a new body when you tire of it, or it wears out. It has to last 70, 80, or 90+ years! There is no better way to invest your money than in your health. Plus, there are plenty of activities that you can do that don’t cost a thing (biking, walking, jogging, push-ups to name a few.)

•

My kids get all of my disposable income and time! Kids will be more likely to make exercise a lifelong habit if they see you exercising and committing the time to a better lifestyle. In NoVA there are a scant few kids that aren’t engaged in some sort of after-school physical activity. What do you do while junior is at soccer practice, swim practice or dance class? Sit on the bleachers or in the car playing Candy Crush? The key is to find a facility that offers activity for adults in tandem with their youth programs. Even walking or jogging around the track while the kids’ lacrosse team does drills will dramatically improve your fitness level over watching from a stationary position. If you’re still not convinced, think of this: if you don’t take care of yourself you may miss out on the big moments like college graduations, marriages, and welcoming (and spoiling the heck out of) grandkids.

•

“I have a lot of injuries!” Think about the Paralympians or our war

•

My diet is not that bad! “My husband eats and drinks anything Haymarket Lifestyle

out in “packs” that you’ll be more motivated and more likely to keep yourself coming back. So, find your pack, it’s out there.

Consider a gym that offers group coaching. Group Coaching is led by a coach that not only demonstrates the exercises (which you do at your pace using weights and forms appropriate for your personal needs), but also helps you throughout the session by correcting your form in order to maximize your results. Group classes are led by an instructor and you follow what the instructor does as the instructor’s pace.

Group training members often share a lot of camaraderie and they really support each other.

The main thing is, don’t give up!

Keep trying different facilities or activities until you find something you like.

• he wants and he’s skinny as a rail; all I have to do is look at a donut and I gain 10 pounds.” Everyone is different and their body reacts to certain foods and training programs differently. The key is figuring out what works for you!

The best plan is to avoid fast food, processed foods, and foods that are high in empty carbohydrates.

Many gyms offer nutritional coaching, so you might want to consider a gym that meets both your workout and nutritional coaching needs.

•

I hate exercise and going to gyms! The key is finding a way to move more. Gyms aren’t for everyone, though for most people it’s a matter of finding the right gym and the right program at that gym. People work better in packs! You’ll find that by working

•

Eating healthy is too expensive and takes too much time! No doubt, you have to work harder to create healthier eating habits.

You also have to think and plan more. It has been proven that you can eat healthy on a budget.

You don’t have to go organic; but eating more fruits and vegetables won’t break the bank, you just have to shop more often and make sure that you are consuming the fresh food. Keep working at it. It might just pay-off by lowering your medical bills.

Eating healthy is boring! YEP! It sure is – if you keep cooking the same foods the same way over and over again! There are numerous websites that post healthy, glutenfree, delicious recipes. Try enlisting other family members to find recipes that appeal to them and cook together. Staying consistent with healthy nutrition is the key

to fat-loss and great health. Eat plenty of salads, eggs, chicken, salmon, Greek yogurt, broccoli, sweet potatoes, kale and fruit and smoothies. Keep plenty of these foods in your home. Stay away from breads and pastas except on special occasions.

Final thoughts and advice: 1. Move more, Eat Less!

2. Seek a professional for help; you wouldn’t trust an auto mechanic to do your taxes would you?

3. Tell everybody about your goals and create some accountability partners amongst your workout buddies and lunch friends and at home with your family.

4. Drop the excuses! They’re like opinions, everybody has them and most of them stink!

5. Your body carries your spirit!

You’d better care for it!

6. The time is NOW! Don’t wait until the end of the year when you’re making your New Year’s Resolution. Every week, every day, every hour that goes by is a wasted opportunity. LET’S GO! You’re probably wondering what happened to that 55-year old man I mentioned at the beginning of this article. I am happy to report following his evaluation; he began a 3-day per week training program with us accompanied by walking on his off days and incorporating our healthy eating strategies. So far he has safely and smartly lost 17 pounds in 4 weeks.

He feels great and you can see it in his face and the way that he is carries himself. People like him are why I do what I do for a living!

PICNICKING AND HIKING IN HAYMARKET In this nice warm weather families can enjoy more time outside.

Whether your family is an active one or one that loves to relax, you may find your new favorite outdoor spot right here in your area.

Silver Lake Regional Park 16198 Silver Lake Road, Haymarket Set up lunch on one of the park’s picnic tables right by the water’s edge.

There are some tables under beautiful tall trees where you can have shade or right out on the sunlight. Don’t forget comfortable shoes and your fishing rod.

After lunch, you can walk the trails or try to catch a largemouth bass.

Hiking: 4 miles of trails around a 20 acre lake James S. Long Regional Park 4603 James Madison Highway, Haymarket With a great view of the mountains, this park is a destination for the sports lover. Bring along a picnic lunch to eat at the pavillion picnic tables and then enjoy the basketball courts, soccer fields, trails and playgrounds.It’s a great place to spend the day.

Hiking: 4 miles of wooded, hilly trails along Catharpin Creek

Picnic Necessities: • Disinfectant Wipes/Gel • Napkins, Paper Plates and Utensils • Trash Bags • Picnic Blanket • Portable Chairs • Sunscreen/Bug Spray • Camera • Music • Band-aids/first aid kit for scrapes and bug bites • Games like corn hole, ladder golf, or a football 22

Chapman’s Mill and Bull Run Conservancy 17504 Beverley Mill Road, Broad Run Bring a blanket if you want to picnic near the mill or wear comfortable shoes if hiking up the mountain is for you.

The longest trail leads to the “White Rocks Overlook/High Point” - the view from the top will be well worth it and a beautiful spot for a picnic lunch. Before you head out, go to brmconservancy. org.for trail maps or chapmansmill.org to learn about the mill.

Hiking: 8 different marked trails with varying mileage Haymarket Museum 15025 Washington Street, Haymarket The little white church in the town of Haymarket is a great little spot for a picnic.

Outside of the museum is a little park area with benches and some history reading at the trail signs. The museum is open Saturdays and Sundays from 1 pm to 4 pm.

Also, the kids will love to see the big red caboose on the other side of the museum.

Tips: • Freeze juice boxes and water bottles to ensure your food stays cold and your drinks too • Prepack celery & carrot sticks with ranch: use a small plastic container, add ranch to the bottom and insert the veggies into the dip and seal. It’s less messy and a great snack • Create your own “Lunchable”: Using plastic containers with small dividers make a unique lunch combination with the right portion sizes for everyone.

• Check Pinterest for healthy “picnic in a glass” or “mason jar picnic salad” recipes for an unconventional but easy portable meal.

History

‘Gone with the Wind’ Part 1: Pittsylvania and the Henry House were lost during the Civil War

by John T. Toler

It is a well-known fact that some of the fiercest fighting during the Civil War took place in northwestern Prince William County, and the staggering number of casualties suffered during the First and Second Battles of Manassas has been documented.

Less well known were the effects on civilians living in the hotly contested areas, which included relative newcomers and members of the Carter family, who could trace the ownership of their properties back to colonial days.

By the time the war ended, most of the older homes located on the battlefield had served as headquarters or hospitals before being destroyed; others survived, but were lost before they could be preserved as part of the Manassas National Battlefield Park, established in 1940.

to the north on Bull Run. Not long afterward, the brothers argued over the division of the land, and a lawsuit was filed in Fauquier County. For years, they did not speak to each other.

The main house at Pittsylvania was reputed to be the largest and most elaborate of the Carter mansions built in the Prince William-Fairfax County region, eclipsing Sudley, Red Hill, Woodlawn and Bleak Hill.

Measuring 30-ft. by 50-ft. with an above-ground cellar, the two-story mansion faced toward the east, standing tall and impressive. The foundation was built of native brown sandstone, and the upper portion was of frame construction.

One of the most interesting properties, if not the oldest, was Pittsylvania, a plantation located on part of the Bull Run Tract patented by Robert “King” Carter in 1729 to his son, Landon Carter (I) of Sabine Hall (1710-1779).

There were four large rooms on each floor, connected by center hallways.

The rooms had high ceilings, and were heated by fireplaces built into two large, central chimneys. “Much of the interior finishings were brought from England… and the rich wallpaper was some of the oldest and handsomest made,” according to Miss Maude Ewell in A Virginia Scene (1931).

Years later, Landon Carter I divided part of his holdings in Prince William County between his sons, Landon II (1738-1801) and John (1739-1789).

With the help of their father, Landon II built the main house at Pittsylvania between 1765-70, and John built Sudley,

There was a circular gravel driveway in front of the house, and the outbuildings – including the kitchen, servants’ quarters, weaving house, ice house, carriage house, and school – were connected to the main house by walkways. On the north side of the main

house was a large formal garden, and on the south side, a bowling green and the family cemetery. The road passing north of the house ran from Old Sudley Road (Rt. 234) westward toward Farm Ford, on Bull Run. On the west side were the detached kitchen, servants’ quarters, the main well and a large barn. A path off the main road led to the plantation’s slave cabins, scattered over the property west of the house, and the slave cemetery.

PROSPERITY, DECLINE AND WAR Up through the early years of the 19th century, Pittsylvania prospered, producing corn, wheat and rye. The plantation’s major cash crop was tobacco, and by 1801, there were 146 slaves working the farm.

Landon Carter II was married to Judith Lucy Fauntleroy (1740-1798), and they had eight children: sons Wormeley (1760-1815), John, Gilbert E., Moore (1771-1820), and Charles L. (b. 1774); and daughters Elizabeth, Margaret and Judith (1777-1861).

Upon Landon Carter II’s death, ownership of Pittsylvania passed to his son Wormeley. Less successful as a planter than his father, Wormeley had to sell off portions of the estate. It was owned for a while by kinswoman Ann Carter Edwards (b.1771), before passing to Wormeley’s son Landon Carter III

By late 1862, little remained of the Henry House but the chimney and scattered debris. Pittsylvania, seen in the distance on the right side of the photograph, still stood at that time.

(1790-1849), who also sold sections of the estate. The major reduction in the property began about 1815.

After Landon III’s death in 1849, his wife, Emily Henry Carter (b. 1796), inherited the property, which by then was just a shadow of its former glory.

Over the next 12 years, Pittsylvania continued to deteriorate. Miss Ewell recalled a story told to her by some close friends who had been invited to Pittsylvania for lunch. “Though the table was set with fine china and silver, and the servants were dressed in once-fine livery, the tablecloth had turned green, and all they had to eat was a roasted goose egg.”

By the start of the Civil War, all but the main house and one of the outbuildings were lying in ruins. Living in the house at the time were the widowed Emily Carter, age 66, and her children, Edwin (b. 1831), Sarah J. (b. 1826), and Virginia M. (b. 1837). Also residing there was the aforementioned Mrs. Ann Carter Edwards, then age 91. Edwin was the last male Carter born at Pittsylvania, according to Stuart G. Vogt, in an unpublished manuscript prepared for the Manassas National Battlefield Park in 1973.

Warned of the approaching battle, the Carters and Mrs. Edwards sought refuge at “Honeywood,” on present-day Pageland Lane north of the Warrenton Turnpike, according to research conducted by historian E.R. Conner III. They brought with them 12 loyal slaves, mostly women.

In their absence the battle raged, and Pittsylvania was turned into a hospital. “There in huge old rooms with that English wallpaper hanging in strips and fallen plaster in the corners, the 26

Until the last hours of the battle, the wounded of both sides were treated at Pittsylvania.

Confederates troops under generals William D. Pender, James J. Archer and Edward Thomas moved on the site, attacking Gen. James B. Ricketts’ division and brigades under Col. John C. Robinson and Gen. David B. Birney. The Union troops made a desperate last stand on the knoll at the house before retreating toward Centreville.

As the Union rearguard commanded by Col. Joseph Thoburn moved east toward Centreville, Confederate troops under Gen. Archer caught up with them. Fighting in the dark, the federals momentarily broke ranks, but regrouped and crossed Bull Run at Farm Ford.

The fighting over, some of the Confederate dead left at Pittsylvania were buried in the front lawn, where they remain in unmarked graves.

It is possible that the Carters returned to Pittsylvania after the battle, but in any event, the house was probably destroyed by fire sometime in early 1863, when Portici, the Lewis home nearby, was burned (See Haymarket Lifestyle, March 2014).

POST-WAR DIFFICULTIES In 1970, George A. Reaves, Historian at the MNBP, and local historian R. Jackson Ratcliffe conducted an interview with George O. Sutton, whose family owned a large tract adjoining the Pittsylvania property for many years. Mr. Sutton had collected numerous letters and other documents concerning the Carter family, which he shared with Mr. Reaves and Mr. Ratcliffe.

Mr. Sutton noted that in a letter written by Arthur Lee, “…in 1866, the Pittsylvania Carters, at the time which would only be the two daughters (Sarah J. and Virginia M.) and son (Edwin) were living in a small cabin very near the old site.”

By 1883, the Carter holdings had been reduced to 283 acres, which was owned by Virginia M. Carter. Through some “…scheme or good manipulation, there was a division of the 283 acres of land between Virginia Carter and a prominent lawyer down in Manassas and an innkeeper,” recalled Mr. Sutton.

“Those two gentlemen got a hold of all but the last 83 acres of the farm, and Virginia gave a deed of trust for $500 on those 83 acres, and it was with that $500 that the second house was built.”

The second house, called “Pittsylvania II,” was built next to the site of the mansion. It was a simple, “2-up and 2-down” farmhouse with a center hallway, and was completed in 1885. Also on the property, Edwin Carter and his cousin, Hugh F. Henry (the son of Judith Carter Henry) built a stone wall around the family cemetery.

Virginia M. Carter died in 1903, and was the last person buried at Pittsylvania.

With her passing, “…the (Landon Carter II) family died out in the seventh generation, whereas the John Carters are going strong today, “ wrote Mr. Ratcliffe in This Was Prince William (1978).

Mr. Sutton recalls walking through the cemetery years ago. “I counted them, and I think there are 70-odd old graves in there. Something like that. There were only brownstone markers and fieldstones, head and foot, stuck in the ground in rows.” He found only one marked stone, measuring 24 inches by 14 inches, bearing the inscription: “L.C.” A subsequent owner of the property was a Dr. Edward F. Corson, of Philadelphia, who was a great-great grandson of Wormeley Carter on his mother’s (the Hamilton) side. By the 1930s, Pittsylvania II was unoccupied, and later torn down.

The National Park Service acquired the 85-acre Pittsylvania site from Dr. Corson in March 1961. In addition, “It was Dr. Corson who donated most of the Henry and Carter family letters we have in our collection,” said Manassas National Battlefield Park Historian Jim Burgess.

“The only traces of the Pittsylvania mansion left today are the ruins of the wine cellar, and brick fragments scattered about the site,” wrote Mr. Vogt.

“However, by the use of a probe rod, the foundations were located under about three inches of soil.”

The NPS acquired Mr. Sutton’s property, consisting of 128.72 acres south of the Pittsylvania site and east of Matthews Hill, in February 1960. “Mr. Sutton’s house and some of his farm buildings still stand, over by our law enforcement ranger facility,” said Mr. Burgess.

TRAGEDY AT THE HENRY HOUSE Judith Carter Henry, born at Pittsylvania in 1777, was the youngest daughter of Landon II and Judith F. Carter. In 1801, Judith married Dr. Isaac Henry (1771-1829), who had studied medicine under Dr. Benjamin Rush in Philadelphia. Dr. Henry was commissioned by President George Washington as one of the first surgeons serving in the U.S. Navy, and was assigned to the U.S.S. Constellation.

After Dr. Henry retired from the Drawing made years ago by George O. Sutton, Navy in 1822, he built Spring Hill (later who owned property near Pittsylvania, indicates known as the “Henry House”) on a 333- the most likely arrangement of Pittsylvania’s main acre property south of Pittsylvania.

‘…THE PATHOS OF WHOSE DEATH…’ Twenty-two years after the First Battle of Manassas, responsibility for firing on the Henry House and the death of Judith Henry was finally established. Gen. Charles F. Walcott, a former Union officer, returned to Manassas and interviewed Hugh Henry, and learned what had happened from his perspective.

“The explanation is that after their guns had been thrown into position immediately south of the house, Confederate sharpshooters, probably part of Hampton’s Legion, began shooting at the gunners from the shelter of the building. Thereupon some of the guns were turned on the house, and blasted it at point blank range.”

Noting that Mrs. Henry was the only civilian to die in the first big battle of the war, Mr. Hanson wrote, “Though but an obscure countrywoman … old and bed ridden, the pathos of whose death has set it apart from the usual battlefield casualty.”

In 1870, a new house was built on the site of the Henry House, using some of the foundation and the chimney base.

It is believed that Andrew Norman, a Confederate veteran, was hired by the Henry family to build the two-story, frame I-type house.

Judith Henry’s grandson, Arthur Lee Henry, sold the property to the Sons of Confederate Veterans in 1922. The SCV operated a historical museum there until 1940, when the U.S. Department of the Interior acquired the property for the Manassas National Battlefield Park. The MNBP Visitors Center was later built on Henry Hill, near the 1870 house and graveyard.

Part 2, to be published in September, deals with the Chinn House, the Robinson House, and Avon Farm, three historic properties that survived both Battles of Manassas, only to be lost in the 20th century.

Managing the Transition to

MIDDLE SCHOOL A strategy for surviving and growing in critical years

by Esther Boykin

The transition to middle school can be a tough time for kids and parents. The days of parent volunteers in each class and close connections to teachers are over. Middle School students are expected to manage a lot more work and many more responsibilities with a lot less hand holding from teachers and parents. While this poses a lot of challenges for students, it is often parents who have the hardest time making the transition. Figuring out how to remain engaged in your child’s education and still giving them the room they need to grow socially and academically is a tricky balance to find. Here are some strategies to help you, and your student, make the most of the middle school years.

of in middle school. Students are likely to have as many as 7 teachers, not including educational specialists, coaches and club leaders. It is important to know each of these individuals and have contact information available. Many school systems use email and online classroom pages to keep parents informed so be sure you are registered for any of these services. In addition to teachers, there are many new peers. Adolescents are notoriously poor reporters of information so keep a keen ear out for the names of friends or students who seem to be problematic. You can’t know every child but you should know the key players in your child’s day.

4. Back off! While it is crucial that you remain involved with your child and their school, you must also realize that they need space away from you. Middle school is a time of self exploration and for many kids having mom or dad hanging around doesn’t make it easy to define their adolescent identity.

Adolescents need time with peers away from their parents in order to navigate this new social territory. With drugs, alcohol, sex, and body image being pervasive problems at this age, it is not a time to become hands off. Rather this is the first of many baby steps toward adulthood. Use your judgment and find ways in which you can allow your child the freedom to develop their own sense of self.

5. Get Connected. Just as important as giving your child space, it is also crucial to find ways in which to get connected. As peers and popular culture become more interesting than parents, it can be difficult to get and keep your child’s attention.

Creating regular family rituals is one good way to staying connected. Whether its dinner every night at the table or something less traditional like ice cream sundaes on Thursday nights, having a regularly recurring time in your week that is devoted to talking with your child is important. Remember adolescents are moody and often irritable creatures. Family time is not guaranteed to be happy time but don’t let grumbling or griping derail you. In the midst of pre-teen whining or one-word conversations is often when important happenings in their life gets revealed. If you still find it hard to connect, get creative. While face time is the best, it’s ok to use technology like texting and email to connect with your kids. Friend them on Facebook and other social networking sites (if you allow them to use those). It’s a great way to keep up with their every changing interests while keeping an eye on their social circle.

6. Accept and embrace change. Your baby is not your baby anymore. This is a time for new boundaries and rules. Sit down at the start of the school year and talk about your expectations and your child’s. Find out what they think they should be allowed to do. Whether its staying up later (research shows that their biological clock usually pushes back at this age, making it hard to fall asleep early) or going places alone; it’s best to address these changes early before they become battlegrounds. It can be

30

helpful to talk with other parents and school counselors about what’s normal and then use what you know about your child to make appropriate rules. And remember, with new privileges should come new responsibilities.

This is an excellent time to help your child understand that with maturity come rewards and obligations. Whether that’s working around the house to earn that new cell phone or taking on a new chore as part of a deal to stay up later- responsibilities at home reinforce good work habits for school and beyond.

7. Get help when you need it. If you think your child is struggling, don’t wait to seek help. Whether it is an academic issue or a social one, there are a multitude of resources to help you. The school counselor can be a great place to start along with your child’s teacher. With so many new things to manage, it is always a good idea to teach your child how to ask for help. Tutoring and academic support should be seen as a resource not statement about their intelligence. And if you are wondering if certain behaviors are a sign of something more serious, seek professional advice immediately. Many of the issues that older generations faced in high school, such as drugs and sexuality, are now prominent topics of discussion at the middle school level. This is not the time to dismiss your concerns as over protective. Your pediatrician can help and most therapists are happy to see a family for one or two sessions as a consultation to decide if there is a need for ongoing treatment. Another excellent option to consider is a group for middle school students. Some schools and community centers will offer groups to address all kinds of common issues including depression, bullying, body-image and eating disorders, cutting and substance abuse. Speak to your school counselor or ask your friends and family for referrals. Educating yourself and your child about these issues is a great first step. And remember that it is always better to seek help early, even if you aren’t sure it’s needed, rather than wait till things spiral out of control.

Middle school can be tough but with a little help you can make the transition a good one. In spite of their reputation as difficult, middle school aged kids can be wonderful. If you understand the challenges they face and the kind of support they need, you can survive middle school and build a strong relationship at the same time.

When Laurie Frasz envisioned helping children in need, she never imagined a place most Americans dream of as an ideal vacation spot.

Economic disparity is just below the surface of the tropical paradise, and when the opportunity arose to help children at a Jamaican preschool more accurately described as a “shack of a building,” she knew this is where she was meant to be.

Mrs. Frasz’ church, Grace Life Community Church in Bristow, supports a mission in helping the Cornwall Mountain All-Age School; a local elementary school in a remote area near Savannah La Mar Jamaica.

The school’s principal, Ms. Sharette Beckford, had noticed that the youngest students entering the school, which serves first through sixth grades, were under-prepared resulting in a cascade of challenges for her faculty in bringing the children up to speed.

Resources are not made available for pre-school education or Basic school in Jamaica, making putting together a curriculum for students ripe for learning extremely difficult in economically depressed areas like Savannah La Mar. Grace Life Community Church approached Mrs. Frasz about this opportunity, which she says “was an answer to a prayer.” As well as being a member of the church, she is also the director of Haymarket Baptist 32

Church Preschool and Kindergarten (HBCPK). Knowing that the first challenge met by the Jamaican preschoolers was absenteeism caused by the inability to afford the $65 tuition payments, Mrs. Frasz reached out to the parents of children who attend Haymarket Baptist for help in easing this financial burden. At the time of initial request there were 30 children in need of help. The day after her request for support, a line of parents formed outside of her Haymarket office. In a matter of hours, all 30 children found a sponsor with a generous family here in Virginia. To further connect the two preschools supporting families were given a picture of their sponsored child to treasure in their homes and help teach their own children about giving and compassion.

Safety was the next most pressing need for the school. Since theft was an issue in their poverty-stricken area, Mrs. Frasz again reached out the the Haymarket Baptist school family for help. The families came forward with “amazing and generous donations.” One family even donated their entire bonus check to purchase a much-needed security fence around the school’s perimeter. Chic-Fil-A in Gainesville chipped in and sponsored spirit nights, donating a portion of proceeds toward the purchase of materials and shipping costs for the Jamaican school.

The funds raised by the Haymarket school were further supplemented by their donation of Scholastic™ points for teaching aides and resources. This helped fill the bookshelf built by volunteers in the now safe, freshly painted, and joy-filled Jamaican school. The concrete floor is now covered by colorful circle-time rugs and the children now sing and enjoy music from the donated CD player and play educational games using donated resources.

continued from page 32 Mrs. Frasz says “the most fun was the Christmas party.” Families who sponsored children sent a gift of clothing, a toy, and a toiletry item. Piling on the blessings, the other children in the school received gifts of coloring books, crayons, t-shirts, shorts, toys, hair ribbons, and flip flops. Not even Cornwall Mountain School’s teachers, janitors or cooks were left out; receiving gifts from their colleagues from across the miles. Mrs. Frasz and her husband traveled to Jamaica and personally delivered the gifts to the school. Mr. Frasz (Santa Claus for the occasion) distributed gifts while the children enjoyed cake and ice cream after performing a little recital of Christmas carols and a “resounding” version of the “Star Spangled Banner”.

“It all brought tears to our eyes,” said Mrs. Frasz.

The next effort of HBPK’s mission in Jamaica is the installation of a safe and fun playground for the kids at Cornwall Mountain School. At this time it is estimated that between $25-$35K will be needed for the site work and installation of an appropriate play-yard and structure.

The chief expense arising from shipping costs, the school hopes to find as many local resources as possible in Jamaica, and prays that the remaining materials can be shipped from the US with help from donated funds or services to cover the costly freight.

Mrs. Frasz credits Pastor Dave Falconer of Jamaica Link Ministries the key organizer of Haymarket Baptist’s mission of giving to the Cornwall preschool. Pastor Dave works to connect those in need in Jamaica with Americans who are committed to helping them.

A huge thanks goes to Pastor Dave, Chic-Fil-A, Pastor Steve Benedict from Grace Life Community Church, and all the families, alumni, and staff at Haymarket Baptist who “adopted this venture and these children into their hearts.” If you would like to help with this important cause, send an email to haymarketbcpreschool@hbcpk. com or call the school at 703-753-9561. To learn more about Jamaica Link ministries and the important services they provide out of love to children, the elderly, orphans, special needs children and even college students visit Jamaicalink.org.

Town

With his re-election of Mayor Leake for his second term, he will be working with some new members of the Town Council this next year.

This is a great time to get caught up on how the activities of our town government impact your life and work.

The Town Council operates as the legislation of the town just like the Prince William County government makes laws for Prince William County.

When every city, town, or county is established, the people of the town create a charter that gives the general assembly certain powers.

Haymarket’s town charter was written in 1799. Amazingly, it has only been amended twice.

This means our town still follows mandates that the original members of the little town of Haymarket created so many years ago. These powers include taxation; expenditure of town money; licensure of businesses, arrest; the acquisition, establishment, widening and improving and maintaining of streets; regulation of building construction; and many others.

Get to Know

TOWN

GOVERNMENT

According to the charter, the election for Town Council is to be held every two years, where one elected person shall be named Mayor and six other electors denominated councilmen. “The Mayor and councilmen shall constitute the Town Council.” Every person who is elected takes “an oath faithfully to execute and discharge the duties of his office to the best of his judgment.” The Mayor takes the oath “prescribed by law for state officers.” The Town Council appoints a Chief of police, a town clerk, treasurer and other offices such as a town manager.

The Mayor presides at the Town Council meetings and cannot vote in the Council unless as a tiebreaker.

The Mayor also retains veto power.

36

The responsibilities of the office are to “take care and see that the bylaws, ordinances, acts, and resolutions of the council are faithfully executed and obeyed.” He also is to ensure that “peace and good order are preserved” in the town and that “persons and property within the town are protected.”

After the Town Council is elected and takes office, the members vote to elect one of the Council members to be the Vice Mayor. The role of the Vice Mayor is to take over the duties and “be vested with all the powers, authority, and jurisdiction” of the Mayor in case the Mayor has to be absent. The Vice Mayor assumes this role until a new Mayor is appointed by the Town if the need arises.

The Town Council’s jurisdiction is strictly limited to the corporate limits of the Town of Haymarket.

This may be confusing, because development has expanded the Haymarket postal codes outside of the town limits. The occupancy within the corporate limits of Haymarket is actually quite limited, placing it into a special category of operation within the Code of the Commonwealth due to small population size. The Town is protected from financial responsibility and liability due to the small contributing tax base.

The Code allows to any town with a population under 3,500 “exemption from operation of charter for certain transactions.”

The members of the Town Council encourage people who live in and around Haymarket to get involved in town government. Every first Monday of the month, there is a Town Council meeting where visitors can speak their minds and voice their concerns or questions during Citizens’ Time. You do not need to be a resident of the Town to do this.

To read more about the Town of Haymarket’s charter, go to townofhaymarket.org. You can also read about new developments, current status of projects, meeting schedules, and events.

Mothers of Preschoolers Provides Support for Young Families

E

arly childhood can be a time of huge adjustments for children and parents alike. The developmental and emotional milestones passed between the ages of 2 and 5 present challenges that only other parents can understand. Perhaps that’s why parents of this age group tend to gravitate toward the parents of their children’s peers. The support and advice of parents guiding their kids through the same challenges with picky eating, behavioral control, and educational benchmarks can be invaluable. For parents seeking camaraderie with other parents of children of preschool age, there is an organization that can guarantee fostering relationships with other moms - Mothers of Preschoolers or MOPS for short. In the Northern Virginia area, with so many parents living far away from the support system of extended family, this group has proven very successful and popular.

MOPS began simply in Wheat Ridge, Colorado in 1973, with eight women who met up, “talked, laughed, ate, passed a basket for childcare expenses, had a craft demonstration and ended with a short devotional.” This meeting was the driving force for the concept and format of the organization. This small group of women grew, and as they moved to different places, they formed new groups of moms. As word began to spread through “churches, conventions, and magazine articles,” there began to be a need for a more formal organization to be established.

“In 1981, MOPS established a Board 38

of Directors and incorporated first as MOPS Outreach, and later as MOPS, Inc.” In 1982, the first MOPS leadership seminar gathered one hundred and fifty women from five states. From continued organization and meeting, the first president was named in 1989. During this MOPS continued to grow outside the US borders and became MOPS International, Inc..

The MOPS organization describes itself as “a movement of women who are practicing becoming more brave, kind and honest.” Most importantly, joining a MOPS group will give you access to a “community of women who get you.” MOPS emphasizes that “being a mom is beautiful and hard” - which is a concept somewhat lost in a society that expects so much of women. Moms can be subject to criticism by strangers, co-workers, employers and even their own families during a time when they may still learning how to raise their children in a healthy way and how to juggle it all.

each other through craft activities, socializing, and sharing ideas and stories about their parenting experience. MOPS groups can be small or large; all women are welcome and the key component is that you do not have to agree with one another!

Instead, the focus is on learning from each other without judgement or prejudice. You do not have to fit any particular mold to be a member, including being a churchgoer, so it really is all-inclusive.

Tiffany Boone was “desperate to be in a community of moms who were experiencing the same trials and triumphs” as she was after the birth of her second child. Now a mom of three boys, she has been leading the MOPS group at Living Hope Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Haymarket since 2010. She says the group is always encouraging new moms to join because one of MOPS slogans is

MOPS groups are formed from local churches, meet once or twice a month, and are designed to connect members with Haymarket Lifestyle

“mothering is better together.” Her experience is best summed up in her own words: “It’s amazing to know that you’re not alone, that there are other moms out there who are/have gone through some of the same seasons of mothering as you are. It’s a safe place where we can open up with one another about struggles, but we also get uplifted and encouraged by guest speakers and our mentor moms.”

Living Hope’s MOPS groups has scheduled their meetings in the evening so that working moms have the opportunity to attend. This group meets from September through May the second and fourth Tuesday of each month from 7 to 9 pm at the PACE West building in Haymarket. For more information or to join, visit livinghopeepc.org/MOPS. Park Valley Church also hosts a Haymarket MOPS group. Their group describes themselves as “a community group that strives to meet the needs of every mom with children [aged] from birth through kindergarten” that meets regularly to “celebrate the joys of motherhood and encourage each other through the challenges.” Anna Daughtry, coordinator of this MOPS group, now in its second year, says that their group has one meeting a month that is focused on fellowship and one focused on guest speakers and life applications. Their speakers present a multitude of subjects, including organizational skills, ‘yell-free’ parenting, and first aid. The team of women who lead the MOPS group tries to balance practical application with ‘life help.’ Each meeting includes childcare so that members can enjoy a hot, kid-free breakfast.

This year’s theme is “Be You Bravely” Daughtry emphasizes that MOPS can be so beneficial to the lives of these women because “better moms make a better world.” During the school year, the Park Valley MOPS group tries to meet up for occasional Moms Night Out and schedule playdates during the summer.

Daughtry says that moms are invited and welcome to join their group.

The next set of meetings run from September 10 until December 10 on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month from 9:30 to 11:30 am. For more information or to register, go to parkvalleychurch.com/ women.

“When we first moved here it was hard leaving all friends and family behind and even harder to make new friends. We started coming to Park Valley partly because we knew they had a MOPS group (I went to MOPS at my old church). I absolutely LOVE this MOPS group. I have made wonderful friends who have become like family. I have gained so much strength, wisdom, and encouragement from MOPS.” -Jacqueline “I joined MOPS primarily for my son. He is a timid, only child. I knew that the MOPPETS workers had been screened and that there would be a program for structure. In the beginning my son cried (he’s 3) and now he says ‘I like MOPS!’ The break from being my child’s everything (playmate, care taker, educator) has been incredible. It keeps me balanced and hopeful. Thank you!”

-Michelle

For more information about MOPS, go to MOPS.org. Consider joining this organization that is dedicated to moms just like you. Not only may you learn a thing or two but you might just be a mentor to another mother who may be struggling with parenthood.
