Bull Run Warrior Retreat to Create Week-Long Vacations Visiting Chef Program Adds Special Touch for Deserving Families Serve Our Willing Warriors, an organization dedicated to serving wounded, ill, and injured warriors and their families for the last 7 years, is in the process of creating the Bull Run Warrior Retreat in Haymarket. The retreat, located on 44 acres right at the edge of the Bull Run mountains, is designed to give warriors and their families a break from life in a hospital and provide a relaxing, calming environment for the families to relax and reconnect.

Families will be able to stay for week-long vacations at the retreat, where they will be surrounded by “an appreciative community that provides activities, special events and camaraderie in accordance with the desires of our honored guests.� Warrior families will stay in one of the rooms in the 11,000 square foot home, where they can also walk the beautiful grounds or visit local attractions to enjoy short trips together to shop, go to the movies, or sightsee in one of the local towns. And now, thanks to the Visiting Chef Program, their stay will be made even more special when they are cooked a delicious meal by an experienced chef from high class restaurants in our area.

The program is led by Larry Zilliox, who toured the retreat after learning about it from a charity event at his church.

A disabled vet himself, Zilliox was especially interested in helping the cause. During an open house and tour of the Bull Run Warrior retreat. he was made aware of the need for volunteers who have skills in carpentry and construction, but he had none of these. Instead, his love for fine dining and knowledge of wonderful chefs from local restaurants was what he offered to the retreat and thus, the Visiting Chef Program was created.

Although the retreat is slated to open in the spring, and construction is still ongoing, the program has already secured 34 chefs who are board with volunteering for the program to delight the families with food they might not have access to in their normal lives.

Visiting chefs hail from fine dining restaurants all around the local area, including Middleburg, Oakton, Haymarket, The Plains and more.

Anne Thomas, of AKT Nourish in Haymarket, shares a personal connection with veterans. Because of the sacrifices of veterans like her husband, both of his parents, and even her youngest son, who is on active duty, Anne has a deep appreciation for our armed forces. Anne is thrilled about the Bull Run Warrior Retreat and being able to have an opportunity to say thank you “by way of the best gift we have to offer: our own humble expertise and service.”

When families apply for a stay at the retreat, they go through a process to assure that their visit is customized to each one’s individual needs.

This also goes for the Visiting Chef Program. Each family will be asked what their tastes and preferences are so that the chef that is brought in to cook the special meal will be able to 8

provide them with a meal they will truly enjoy.

Zilliox says this program provides a great opportunity for the visiting chefs to give back in ways they wouldn’t normal be able to. He says it’s also an opportunity for veterans to have access to food and cuisine they might not have been exposed to previously. The rest of the meals during the week will be prepared by the families themselves or by volunteers.

Eagle Scout projects at the Bull Run Warrior Retreat are also helping to support the Visiting Chef Program by the building of a large raised bed garden so the families have fresh ingredients for their meals. Also, vendors have stepped forward to help in the cause. Zilliox says that Trident Fencing, located in Frederick, Maryland, have helped tremendously by donating a fence to keep deer from destroying the garden, which is vital to maintaining this important part of the program.

Other vendors providing services include Dizzy Pig, which makes high quality barbeque rubs; The Farm at Broad Run who donates vegetables for the garden; Rainbow Acres Farm that provides pasture raised, non-GMO fed chickens and eggs to the retreat; and True Farms which gives families access

There are many ways visitors can volunteer to help at the retreat, including helping to prepare meals for the visiting families. People wishing to help with the Visiting Chef Program should contact Larry Zilliox at 703-468-1811 or at larry.vcp@ willingwarriors.org.

KID

Play

Long Park Gets a Facelift James S. Long Park in Haymarket has long been a place for families to gather with their children to play. With the soccer fields, basketball courts, picturesque view of the mountains, picnic structures, and playground, it is the place to be during mild weather days.

And beginning February 1st, kids will have even more fun there with the reopening of a new play structure in place of the playground that existed previously.

The new structure, at 3,790 square feet and covered by a canopy, includes many new slides and climbing activities. Swings are now added, as well as separate play areas for children of different ages. The rock climbing wall will be a new feature to encourage physically challenging play and development for all children.

This new enhancement to the park is sure to delight families and children of all ages. Be sure to take the kids over to see the new fun place to play in Haymarket.

You

Does this sound familiar to you? If so then you are not alone. This is a common complaint among couples and one that never seems to be easily solved. Like most marriage therapists, I recommend date night for every couple at least twice a month, if not weekly. It’s an invaluable habit to form but I realize that suddenly finding a few hours in your week for date night is often unrealistic- at least as a shortterm solution. So I offer you 7 mini-dates to help you rev up your love life and reconnect with your partner NOW. In less than an hour you can bring romance, fun, and passion back to your relationship.

Can Make Time for These Seven Dates

by Esther Boykin

Flirt via text message. Flirting and the sexual tension it brings are one of the best parts of dating. Text message flirting offers you the chance to multi-task and set the stage for an evening of romance or at least something more than a quick peck before you both roll over to sleep. Send a steamy message while standing in line at the grocery store or in that never-ending board meeting. Remind your partner that you are more than just the mother of his children or the husband who picks up her dry cleaning!

Have a living room picnic. I promised you an hour or less so this is not the time to go to Wegmans or Whole Haymarket Lifestyle

Foods for a selection of fine wine and cheeses. The same dinner you were making for the kids can become a playful and romantic moment for two just by changing the scenery. Take the dinner plates into the living room or even your bedroom, spread a blanket on the floor, and, if you really want to take it up a notch, turn on a CD of nature sounds. The change of venue can do wonders for sparking a more relaxed and playful mood which fosters deeper conversation.

Give foot massages. Who wouldn’t enjoy a day at the spa?! Alas there is rarely time for that so make time for a mini spa moment instead.

Sit on the couch or in the bed together with your feet in each others’ laps and start rubbing. A foot massage can be extremely relaxing or ticklish - either way it’s bound to bring you both at least 10 minutes of pleasure with each other.

Go on a breakfast date. Dates don’t only happen in the dark. Try starting your day right with a good breakfast and even better company.

Head to the kitchen together once a week and whip a quick but hearty breakfast of eggs and toast or make it a real treat and head out a little early for breakfast at your favorite café or coffee

14

shop. Even just a muffin and coffee can be a good start to a long day when you do it together.

Take a walk. Not only does your body need a healthy breakfast, it needs exercise! Plan to skip the gym a couple times a week and go for an after-dinner walk together instead. It’s a fantastic way to get the blood flowing and a good excuse to hold hands. And best of all, if you have little ones at home, an evening stroll can put them to sleep giving you even more couple time.

Binge watch television. The last time I suggested a couple do dinner and movie they both laughed. They haven’t finished a whole movie since their son was born. Fortunately they came up with the great idea to at least keep up with the latest TV shows.

Try using Netflix or Hulu to watch an entire season of your favorite show (or that great new show that everyone is talking about that you can’t stay awake long enough to watch). Not only will you look forward to seeing what happens next on the episode but you have a built in anticipation of your next “TV date” together. The best part? You can watch whenever is most convenient to you and actually stay awake for the whole episode.

Stay in bed. Whether you have to skip your morning run or weasel out of brunch with the in-laws on Saturday morning, find one day a week to linger in bed with each other for an extra hour. The lazy indulgence of just lounging together doing nothing is a great catalyst for conversation and connection, not to mention intimacy.

Can’t find a morning to laze around?

Make one hour on the weekend your official “nap time.” Get in bed, set the timer, and just hang out together pretending that there’s nothing to do.

And if you have small kids, make it a family date and turn on some cartoons or a favorite movie while you all snuggle together.

History

Special Delivery Our post offices have always played a significant role in local history

by John T. Toler Confederate Postmaster General John H. Reagan Even before the Declaration of Independence, the founding fathers addressed the need for a postal service. At the Second Continental Congress in May 1775, they determined that “The conveyance of letters and intelligence was essential to the cause of liberty.”

A committee led by Benjamin Franklin was appointed to devise a new postal system, and on July 25, 1775, plans were in place and Franklin was appointed the first Postmaster General.

During the American Revolution, the primary duty of the postal service was to carry communications between the U.S. Congress and the Continental Army.

Once the war was over, the fledgling U.S. postal service was expanded to fulfill its civilian responsibilities, connecting former colonial towns and new villages being started on the frontier.

Dumfries, then a seaport, was the first town in Prince William to get a post office, which opened in 1782.

Originally known as Red House, Hay Market (two words) was chartered in 1799, and got its first post office in November 1800 – making it the second oldest post office in Prince William County.

According to Sarah M. Turner in Haymarket, a Town in Transition (1998), it is likely that the Hay Market Post Office was originally located in the Red House Tavern building in the center of town. William Morgan was the first postmaster, serving until 1806.

Other early post offices established nearby included Buckland, which opened later in 1800; New Market in 1806; and Thoroughfare and Groveton, both of which opened in 1832.

Along with distributing local mail, postal delivery routes between villages in the region were established. “Haymarket first appears in postal route books as part of Route 1911, which J. M Smith agreed to carry for $280 per annum, beginning Oct. 2, 1838,” according to Postal Service Historian Megaera Harris, quoted in Haymarket, a Town in Transition.

“Mr. Smith promised to carry the mail from Salem (today’s Marshall) in Fauquier County five miles to The Plains, five more miles to Thoroughfare in Prince William County, four-and-one quarter miles to Hay Market, and three miles to Buckland,” or 16

about 17 miles, according to Ms. Harris.

The route was run twice a week, and connected with other routes, including the main north-south mail route, which was operated by entrepreneur William “Extra Billy” Smith of Warrenton. Mail from Haymarket being headed for Washington, D.C. was picked up in Buckland by one of Smith’s mail coaches.

The Hay Market mail route was soon transferred to Thomas Foster, who carried the mail three times a week for a mere $200 per year. “Our records do not show how either man delivered the mail; it could have been by horse or by a four-horse post coach in the summer and by horseback the rest of the year,” wrote Ms. Harris.

A significant change occurred in December 1846. After the postmaster at Buckland resigned and there was no one to take his place, the route ended at New Stable, a mile-and-a-half north on the Warrenton-to-Alexandria Turnpike.

By 1847, postal records show that the spelling of the town became Haymarket (one word), and the postal route, then designated Route 2509, was carried by John Brown, of Washington, D.C. Route 2509 intersected with postal routes at Salem and Buckland.

Railroad routes

Mr. Brown’s contract was nullified in September 1852, after the Postal Service signed a contract with E. C. Marshall, president of the Manassas Gap Railroad. The MGRR ran between Alexandria and the Shenandoah Valley, passing through the towns and villages formerly served by deliverymen on horseback.

(See Haymarket Lifestyle, June 2014) The new rail route was designated No. 2518, and beginning in October 1852, the MGRR was paid $1,414 to carry the mail six days a week from Manassas Junction (formerly called Tudor Hall) to Piedmont Station (today’s Delaplane). As part of the agreement with property owner Thomas Brawner Gaines, who contributed the right-of-way through the area, New Stable was renamed Gainesville in 1856.

SCHEDULE YOUR 3D MAMMOGRAPHY TODAY 3D mammography is an advanced, clinically proven technology designed for early breast cancer detection. During the 3D mammogram, multiple projections create a 3D image of your breast tissue. Your radiologist can see breast abnormalities in a way never before possible.

Fauquier Hospital is the only facility in the region to have the new low-dose technology available for 3D mammography; using the same radiation dose as a 2D mammogram. Research studies show that 3D mammography reduces callbacks for additional imaging by up to 16% and increases cancer detection by up to 40%.

Talk to your doctor about whether 3D mammography is right for you.

Once you have a physician’s order, please call (540) 316-5800 to schedule your mammogram appointment.

Alvey Store for many years. Four generations of the Sanders/Alvey family served as postmasters at Catharpin; the last, J. W. Alvey Jr. retired in 1990 after a 35-year career. Courtesy of the Ruth E. Lloyd Information Center (RELIC). (3) A pharmacy originally occupied the building on Washington Street that was used for the Haymarket Post Office from 1945 to 1981. Courtesy RELIC. The train left Manassas Junction at 10:45 a.m., stopping at the towns along the way before reaching Piedmont Station by 1:15 p.m. Mail from the station and points west would then be loaded on the train, and brought back to Manassas Junction in time to meet the 4 p.m. train going to Alexandria.

This system worked well, and as the MGRR line was expanded, included Markham, Front Royal and Strasburg.

Connecting with the Orange & Alexandria Railroad at Manassas Junction, an efficient network was created. However, with the outbreak of the Civil War, all of this would change.

Aware of the importance of a postal service, the Confederate States of America Post Office Department was established – at least on paper – by the beginning of hostilities in 1861.

John Henninger Reagan, a native of Tennessee and a capable administrator, headed the Confederate postal service.

However, mail service in the Confederacy “…was continuously interrupted,” according to the online History of the U.S. Postal Service. “Blockades and the invading Union army, as well as a scarcity of postage stamps, severely hampered postal operations.”

If that were the case in other parts of the South, it was particularly true in Northern Virginia, where the battles, skirmishes and raids were virtually continuous. The suffering of Haymarket was among the worst, when nearly all of the town – including most of the residences and all of the commercial buildings, including the post office – were burned in November 1862.

The strategic Manassas Gap Railroad was the “spine” mail route for many of the 18

towns and villages in the area during the 1850s. It was virtually destroyed by early 1864, and not rebuilt until after the war.

According to The History of the U.S. Postal Service, once hostilities ceased, federal mail service in the South was gradually resumed. “By Nov. 15, 1865, 241 mail routes had been restored, and

by Nov. 1, 1866, 3,234 post offices out of 8,902 in the South were returned to federal control.”

Confederate Postmaster General Reagan was arrested and imprisoned after the war, but was eventually pardoned, and returned to Texas. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1875, and served as chairman of the Committee on Post Offices and Post Routes.

Post offices opened – and closed

The postal service would play an important part in the recovery of local economies. Between the end of the Civil War and the late 1890s, the number of post offices in Prince William County grew from the pre-war number of 15 to 35. Six new post offices were opened in Western Prince William: Sudley Springs (1871), Waterfall (1874), Hickory Grove and Catharpin (1875), Broad Run (1886), and Woolsey (1897).

This was largely a result of President Grover Cleveland’s recommendation that rural post offices be no more than four miles apart, so that no patron would have to walk more than two miles to pick up their mail.

Most of the smaller post offices were located in country stores, and because the position as local postmaster was a political appointment, there was some shifting around when the party of the administration in Washington, D.C.

changed after Election Day. As the road systems improved and the automobile began to replace the horse-and-buggy, the emphasis on postal delivery shifted from a large number of small post offices to fewer large ones, with mail delivered to patrons’ homes under the Rural Free Delivery (RFD) program.

“By the early years of the 20th century, President Teddy Roosevelt thought that RFD was the way to go, and by horseback, wagon and then auto, mail came to your house,” wrote historian Eugene M. Scheel in Crossroads and Corners (1996). “Small post offices closed, and fewer folks came to the stores.”

The Great Depression that started in late 1929 and the Drought of 1930 had a devastating impact on local farmers and the stores that supplied them, resulting in more closed businesses – and post offices.

According to Mr. Scheel, gas rationing during World War II kept many people close to home, which helped some of the small store/post offices, but hurt others like Thoroughfare, which closed in 1944.

During the consolidation of postal service that took place under the Eisenhower administration (1952-60), hundreds of small post offices across America were closed. Both Waterfall and Broad Run were targeted for closure, but since Broad Run was the post office used

by U.S. Rep. Howard W. Smith (18831976) – a long-time member of Congress and chairman of the House Committee on Rules – it was spared.

Evelyn Lunsford.

she recalled. “We had only one delivery route, and it done by Bob Kilby. There were 800 deliveries on that route, and he carried it six days a week.”

One of Ms. Wilson’s first moves was to split the route, which was divided between Mr. Kilby and his son, Robert Jr. Later, Ms. Wilson hired two part-time clerks to help handle the growing volume of mail.

In 1981, the Haymarket Post Office was moved to a building on Jefferson Street Road northeast of town, known by many as “the Barn,” due to its gambrel roofline.

Active in her community, Ms. Wilson was a member of the Gainesville Women’s Club, past president of the Gainesville Ruritan club. In 1978, she volunteered to serve on Haymarket’s first planning commission, and later that year, helped start organize the first Haymarket Day celebration.

During the 1990s, large-scale development was taking place around Haymarket, including Piedmont and Dominion Valley. By the time Ms. Wilson retired on Jan. 1, 2001, the number of daily deliveries handled by the Haymarket Post Office had grown to 4,000. “I had the best job anyone could ever ask for,” said Ms Wilson recently. “I loved the job, and loved the people.”

The Haymarket Post Office outgrew the building on Jefferson Street, and on Sept. 1, 2006 operations were moved to a new post office building on Gap Way off Rt. 55 east of town, where it is today.

Gainesville Post Office

burned – along with Haymarket’s telephone exchange building – on Sept. 1, 1945 (See Haymarket Lifestyle, May 2014).

After occupying temporary quarters in the upstairs of the old bank building, the post office was moved briefly to Gossom’s (Rector’s) Store. It was then relocated in the building owned by Mr. Smith on Washington Street across from the Town Hall.

Built c. 1900, this 2-story building had once housed Hunt’s Pharmacy on the first floor, and a community theater on the second floor. It was sold to Mason Pickett in 1968.

After briefly serving as the officerin-charge of the Haymarket Post Office, Ellen Wilson was appointed postmaster in January 1976. She had previously worked in a postal facility in Alexandria.

“When I first came to work in Haymarket, it was just me and one clerk,” 20

In 1936, the Gainesville Post Office was located in a room in a building at the southeast corner of U.S. 29 and Galleher Road known as “the Creamery.” It was owned by Gainesville Postmaster John Sweeney Jr., who also had his store there. During World War II, the post office was moved from the Creamery to another building on Lee Highway a few doors to the west.

Mrs. Marjorie Smith Partlow came to work at the Gainesville P.O. in 1947 as a temporary rural carrier. In 1948, Mr. Sweeney transferred to a position as a rural carrier, and Mrs. Partlow was appointed postmaster. For several years, Mrs. Partlow and her clerk, Mrs. Bernice Lightner, were the only employees working there.

In 1959, a modern, new post office was purpose-built by Henry Florance on U.S. 29, next to the old Phil’s Market. Two years later, Evelyn Smith Lunsford joined the staff as a “part-time flex” employee.

Mrs. Lunsford was promoted to substitute window clerk in August 1969, and became a full-time employee in February 1974.

She recalls that on the night of Jan. 16, 1967, burglars pried open the front door of the Gainesville P.O., and cracked open the safe. Prince William County Sheriff Ralph G. Shumate and Deputy Al Rollins investigated the crime before the case was turned over to federal authorities. The thieves were never apprehended.

Mrs. Partlow retired in March 1973, and was replaced by Jack Rosenberger, a 20-year veteran of the postal service, who previously worked in Arlington and Merrifield.

Mrs. Lunsford, now 91, recalls that both Mrs. Partlow and Mr. Rosenberger were excellent bosses, and in 1982 she earned a Special Achievement Award from the USPS. Mrs. Lunsford retired in September 1984, before the post office’s next move.

Starting in 1983, the USPS and Prince William County were deliberating over the location on U.S. 29 that the USPS had selected for the new Gainesville Post Office.

It was a lengthy, ongoing controversy, and even after the construction contract was signed, the project was stalled by requirements for off-site improvements.

The details were finally worked out, and Postmaster Rosenberger informed customers that effective Oct. 27, 1985, the post office would be operating out of two trailers at 14689 Lee Highway, while construction of the permanent facility was underway. The new building was completed in May 1986.

Today’s Postal Service

With the passage of the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970, the old Post Office Department became the U.S. Postal Service the following year. The purpose of the reorganization was to move the postal service from being a tax-funded government department to a selfsupporting, quasi-independent agency.

Another big change was the depoliticizing of the postal service, where important positions, like postmaster, were no longer handed out as patronage. Ms. Wilson notes that from then on, it was possible for dedicated postal workers – including women – to move up based on merit, not political connections.

A Board of Governors manages the U.S. Postal Service, and the Postal Regulatory Commission sets rates. Labor contracts are worked-out by postal management and employee unions, or decided by a third party.

However, important decisions regarding the USPS business model, especially those involving delivery service, must be approved by the U.S. Congress.

John R. Sweeney served as Gainesville postmaster from 1936-1948. in the 40-plus years since the USPS was established, mostly due to new technologies, demographics and competition. The USPS continues to evolve. It isn’t easy, and decisions made far away can have local implications.

For many years, the U. S. General Accounting Office (GAO) advised the USPS that it could save millions of dollars annually by shutting down thousands of small post offices, much like what was done in the 1950s.

However, Congress was against another round of closings, and the USPS has had to come up with alternatives in order to cut costs. This has led to recent changes in how mail is delivered in Western Prince William County.

The region is served by five post offices: Gainesville, Haymarket, Catharpin, Bristow and Broad Run. Each year, these post offices are evaluated, based on revenue, traffic, size of the post office box section, and other criteria. Based on the results, it is determined whether the post office should be open eight, six, four or two hours a day.

“The original plan was to shut down the small post offices,” said Gainesville Postmaster Joseph R. Cox. “The sole purpose of the reduction in hours is to ensure that every community can maintain its post office, which is often considered its identity.”

Post offices that are open eight hours a day – Gainesville, Bristow, Catharpin and Haymarket – have an on-site postmaster.

Those open six hours a day or less, like Broad Run, are remotely managed by a larger facility, in this case, by Gainesville.

Another big change in our area was the consolidation of the rural delivery routes at a single site. For years, carriers picked up their mail at each post office, and set out on their routes. Starting in 2012, rural deliver routes in Western Prince William – 52 in all – have been handled out of a facility located on Limestone Drive in Gainesville. Centralizing the delivery routes has been a gradual process, with the last being Catharpin’s routes in May 2014.

Another issue has been the proposed elimination of Saturday mail delivery. Over

the years, different options have been considered, including going to MondayFriday mail delivery, and Monday-Saturday package delivery. And then, the on-line retailer Amazon took off, promising delivery of its orders seven days a week.

In order to compete with UPS and FedEx, the USPS had to initiate sevenday-a-week package delivery, including Sundays and most holidays. This expanded package delivery service started in our area in October 2014.

Concurrently, there has been a drop in the amount of first-class mail, due largely to the growing use of e-mail and on-line bill payment. “Package delivery is where the business is headed right now,” said Mr. Cox. “We’re doing everything we can to capture as much of that new growth as we can.”

FURRY FRIENDS

Brain Games

and Play for Your Dog

Mental stimulation through interactive toys and structured play is one of the most important and overlooked elements of dog ownership. A lack thereof is commonly linked to nuisance behaviors such as: excessive barking, destructive chewing, pacing and restlessness, hyper activity, digging, and inappropriate drive behaviors. Consider incorporating brain games and activities into your routine to help manage and prevent the backlash of boredom.

Dispensing Food and Enrichment

Many interactive toys today are designed to be stuffed with food in order keep our furry friends mentally engaged, occupied and entertained. Swapping out food bowls for filler toys is a great way to provide enrichment during meal times. Food dispensing toys are great for assisting in crate training, redirecting chewing, pacifying your dog when alone, pacifying when visitors are around, and so much more! A variety of toys are designed for dry, wet, raw, or home made foods and can be frozen for prolonged use. Amongst the most common brands are: Kong, StarMark, Busy Buddy, Buster Cube, and JW toys.

Problem Solving Brain Teasers

Pet retailers have become increasingly savvy to the intellectual needs of our canine companions. A variety of companies are now producing problem solving puzzles that require physical manipulation by your dog to gain access to a hidden reward. These are a great way to provide your high drive dog with appropriate problem solving opportunities. Keeping your dog mental engaged will also assist in exhausting energy and allow for redirection of inappropriate destructive behavior. These puzzles come in a variety of forms and substrates with the most popular being the Nina Ottossen and Kyjen toys.

Haymarket Lifestyle

Appropriate Interactive Play

For dogs play is the mimicry and role rehearsal of hunting, fighting, and courting behaviors. We see this through their jumping, mouthing, chasing, shaking, pulling, and wrestling gestures. Structured play through toys and games is a great way to add fun mental activity, establish rules, increase impulse control, and further strengthen your bond. Consider playing these games with your dog:

Fetch

Some dogs are more natural than others at retrieving, however all dogs can learn to enjoy this game given the opportunity to learn. In order to retrieve the dog has to perform a variety of tasks including: targeting the toy, carrying it, recalling to owner, and giving up the toy.

Try practicing each step separately and reward your dog for grabbing it, holding it, or dropping it in front of you. Start off in a low distraction setting with a high value toy in a confined space so your dog has a high success rate.

February 2015

Tug of War

This game is appropriate for dogs that have some obedience, control, and drive, but is not ideal for dogs who are impulsive and have no boundaries. High arousal during tug can lead to accidental nipping or biting, and further over stimulation.

Make sure your dog learns a good “give” or “drop” command and ensure to use a specific “tug” cue when playing. Tug is a great way to introduce play as a reward into your obedience training routine.

Hide and Seek

This game is fun to play with the whole family and helps strengthen recalls.

Start off by calling your dog back and forth in plain site and reward for successful arrival. Once this is well rehearsed try hiding in separate rooms around the house and calling your dog’s name followed by the “come” cue. Outside run in opposing directions to speed the recall and consider hiding behind trees, shrubs, and other places.

A few things to remember when playing with your dog:

• Make sure you are the one initiating and ending play, a dog that has learned to drop toys in your lap for attention can become pushy and develop into a nuisance.

• Keep your dog’s arousal level at a moderate level during play to minimize hyper, impulsive, and inappropriate behavior such as excessive barking, grabbing, and jumping. If your dog becomes over-stimulated interrupt play and allow him to calm down before resuming.

• Establish rules to play by and stick to them! This minimizes inappropriate behaviors and allows you to incorporate obedience and control behaviors into your routine.

Keeping your dog stimulated will help relieve symptoms of boredom and increase the human canine bond. It’s time to ditch the food bowl and spend some time integrating play into your routine for a happy, healthier hound!

FACES/SPECIALPlaces

Casper Minds for Special Needs Offering a place of support and resources

30

A

pivotal moment in her life led Angela Kralik to where she is today, the founder and President of Casper Minds, LLC, a new organization in Gainesville.

This is a place to go in our local area for children and individuals who struggle with special needs.

Casper Minds, LLC, which stands for Communication, Application of, Social Skills, Personal Skills, Empathy, and Real Life, is dedicated to “providing life strategies through communication, academic, behavioral, and social supports to families and individuals.”

The organization strives to provide these children and adult clients with tools that will help them not only at home, but in the community, at school, the workplace, and other areas of life.

Angela’s life-changing experience involved meeting and working with a little boy who was cast as “difficult” because of his behaviors and limited communication skills. Angela was a special education teacher who was already overwhelmed by the number of students at her school when this little boy was brought into her class. She says “the minute I met him, we

clicked.” She enjoyed how his smile lit up the room and loved the way he greeted her each day with a warm hug and by smelling her hair. This boy’s mom was such an advocate for her son by getting him the help he needed to learn and advance through his struggles. Being inspired by his will and determination, Angela says “he weaved his big smile around my heart and gave me the strength and confidence to move on to other kiddos on the Autism Spectrum” and lead her on this path that would eventually turn in a new direction.

While working as a teacher for children with special needs, Angela realized that the ways she wanted to help these families were limited by scheduling, funding, number of students, and certain restraints that are common in the school system.

She truly believed that by being out in the community, making resources available to more families, she would be better able to give back to these families. In 2010, Casper Minds was founded with only four clients. Now helping over 75 special clients, Casper Minds develops programs that are customized to meet the Haymarket Lifestyle

individual need of each child or adult. Clients, ranging in age from 2 to 99 years of age, are provided with therapy and consultations which may be onsite, in their home, and even at public and private schools.

The staff is trained and experienced with “developing and expanding language, cognitive skills, self-care skills, play skills, social skills, and positive behavior support.” Applied Behavioral Analysis is provided for all ages, “as determined by the individual’s primary care provider and a Board Certified Behavioral Analysis Therapist” and in collaboration with the parents and care providers. The service does take Medicaid and there is no wait list.

One important way Casper Minds supports families is by offering support groups for all different age groups and needs. There are separate groups for children from Kindergarten age up to high school, an adult group, one for tutoring and homework, and a parent support group for family members. More groups may be added as needed.

For example, when Kralik realized there is not much support for parents whose children have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) at school, she began a support group for these parents to gather and share experiences and action plans with each other.

Casper Minds also can provide an education advocate and a legal advocate to support parents’ and child’s needs by making sure their February 2015

rights are being met and that services the children need are being offered in school to help them succeed. Consultants from Casper Minds can help to be an advocate on the child’s behalf, especially when parents or guardians hear from school districts that something cannot be done for the child, the child is not making progress, or when the parents and the school do not agree. Other services provided include speech and language therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, monthly consultations, collaboration among team therapists and other service providers, IEP development, school shadowing, developing individualized social stories and strategies, play and social groups, tutoring, staff and parent training, and Applied Behavior Analysis, which focuses on how the environment could be affecting the clients’ behaviors.

Consider contacting Casper Minds to gain access to a wealth of information and understanding minds who could be of immense help to families and individuals.

Also, adults and students looking for opportunities to volunteer with a local organization are encouraged to contact Casper Minds. There are many areas to contribute to Casper Minds, including helping with tutoring and paperwork. Casper Minds, located at 7528 Gardner Park Drive in Gainesville, can be contacted at 571-248-1784 or by going to casperminds.com.

n the November 2014 issue of Haymarket Lifestyle magazine, the Haymarket Regional Food Pantry renovation project was featured.

On the 21st of that month, the renovation was completed due to a wonderful collaboration of giving and kind individuals coming together to help others. The Pantry called this “quite possibly the biggest day in the history of the Haymarket Regional Food Pantry,” as workers from Home Depot, Glidden Paints, and Michael & Sons gathered on the property to completely transform the 100 year old building. It is now a more functional and attractive place where families in Prince William are given food to sustain their households. That same day, over 435 Thanksgiving dinners

Renovated Haymarket Regional Food Pantry Seeks Volunteers/ Contributions were handed out to families in need, rounding out a day that was unlike any other the pantry has seen.

The idea for the project came about from a conversation between Eileen Smith, board member at the pantry, and Erik Dardas from Home Depot. When Dardas learned of the existing problems at the pantry’s building, he reached out to some contacts and plan was set in motion.

Basim Mansour, of Michael & Sons, partnered with Dardas and the project was completed collaboratively. Phase I of the project, completed in October, involved replacing the sinks, faucets, and toilets and hooking up running water to the building. Phase II, completed November 21, was when

the entire inside of the building was painted, storms doors were installed, and other improvements were made.

Volunteers from Glidden Paint, one of Home Depot’s paint suppliers, some who even flew in from other states, painted walls the calming color Bahama Blue to spruce up rooms where food is organized and stored for the families. The Home Depot volunteers brought in blinds for the rooms and completed some landscaping to the outside.

All the volunteers gathered together at the end of this momentous day to reflect on what was just accomplished. Outside in front of the building, Erik Dardas presented Basim Mansour with the Home Depot’s

“Golden Hammer Community Service Award” for his willingness to step in and help provide services to the pantry and his overall contribution to the community. It was a celebration of gratitude for all the people involved.

The difference these improvements made to the pantry continue to become clear. With a working bathroom, volunteers now don’t need to travel offsite when working longer hours. The new shelving helps the maintenance volunteers better organize supplies and understand what food needs to be repurchased because it’s more clear what supplies are in need now. The renovation of a new opening in an existing wall gives better access to the bread and perishable items, like fruits and vegetables and allows clients to be served in a more timely manner.

The new office helps the staff maintain

supplies and files on premise to better organize the running of the pantry.

And perhaps just as important as all of this, the paint has brightened the mood of both the volunteers and the customers.

The Haymarket Regional Food Pantry is located at 14740 Washington Street in the heart of Haymarket.

Open for food distribution on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 8 pm and Saturdays from 9 am to 12 pm, the pantry accepts drop-off donations from 10 am to 12 pm on Mondays and Fridays. On the front porch of the pantry is a large white chest where donations can also be dropped off anytime. Community members can get involved by organizing a food drive, sponsoring a donation location, or becoming a corporate partner.

Improving Your Heart Health February is American Heart Month February is all about hearts. Whether it’s defined by Cupid’s bow, a box of chocolates, Valentine’s Day or simply the color red, the month is the celebration of the heart.

The best gift you can give yourself during the month of February is a healthy heart. Adopting a healthy lifestyle today can help you keep a strong heart in the future.

First, take a look at sobering information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women.

Approximately 800,000 Americans die every year from heart disease. That is 30 percent of all deaths. The most common type of heart disease in the U.S. is coronary heart disease which can lead to heart attacks.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

“Ninety-five percent of heart disease is either preventable or treatable based on how we live,” says Dr. Sheila Khianey, a cardiologist at Novant Health Haymarket Medical Center and Novant Health Prince William Medical Center.

Heart disease can be prevented through some lifestyle changes in diet, exercise and other controllable factors. In fact, 80 percent of deaths from coronary artery disease were caused by preventable factors, according to the CDC. Show yourself some love by following these suggestions: Monitor your blood pressure – Check your blood pressure on a regular basis either at home, at a pharmacy or at a doctor’s office. Ideal blood pressure for an adult is a reading showing less than 120

systolic and 80 diastolic, or 120 over 80.

Get your cholesterol checked – The CDC recommends having your healthcare team test your blood at least once every 5 years.

Eat a healthy diet – Choosing to eat fresh fruit and vegetables can help combat heart disease as these foods are low in saturated fat and high in fiber which is good for cholesterol.

“Food is medicine,” says Khianey.

“You need good nutrition to be healthy, feel good and fight disease.”

The doctor recommends 7 servings primarily of fruit and vegetables and reducing sugar and simple carbs in your diet. “This will greatly reduce the bad fats in your blood that lead to heart disease,” she says.

Reduce your sodium intake - Sodium can elevate your blood pressure. Aim for a diet low in sodium which has 2 grams of sodium or less. Start by cutting back on processed foods and eating at fast food restaurants.

Maintain a healthy weight – Being overweight or obese can increase your risk for heart disease. The federal government estimates that one-third of adults, or 78 million Americans are obese. To determine whether your weight is in the healthy range, calculate your body mass index.

Exercise regularly – Physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight, lower your cholesterol and blood pressure.

Plus, exercise reduces stress says Khianey. “It improves your sleep, focus, your mood and metabolism,” she says. “It keeps the blood vessels in our heart -and all over our body - healthy by making them flexible and stronger.”

Khianey recommends 30 minutes of exercise a day. “Think of it as revving the

engine of your body”, she says. “You know you are getting a good workout when you get your heart rate up and break a sweat.”

Power walking is a great exercise, the doctor says.

Quit smoking – Smoking increases a person’s risk for coronary heart disease by 2-4 times. “Smoking damages your blood vessels from head to toe,” says Khianey.

“By quitting, you can restore the health of your blood vessels and prevent lifethreatening medical problems.”

Get a good night’s sleep – Good sleep has many health benefits including better blood pressure and cholesterol levels, according to the doctor. “With good sleep, your metabolism is higher and you feel less hungry,” she adds.

Limit alcohol use – Drinking too heavily can raise blood pressure. One drink is equivalent to one 12 ounce beer, a 5 ounce glass of wine or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor.

Risk of heart disease varies from individual to individual. Having a close relative with heart disease puts you at higher risk.

Race and ethnicity can also impact your risk of disease. Nearly 44 percent of African American men and 48 percent of African American women have some type of cardiovascular disease. While some factors are out of your control, take charge of those changes you can make to improve your heart health.

Being “Rural” Presents Opportunities for Home Buyers and Sellers

by Dianne Lemanski

Homeowners who have lived in the Haymarket area for more than 10 years know it’s been a wild ride on the real estate roller coaster, and they’re ready for an uphill climb! While our 2014 market started out with a bang, it fizzled out in the second quarter and left home sellers and their Realtors® more than disappointed in the latter half of 2014.

Why did this happen with interest rates at historic lows? To quote NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun, “first-time buyers have been missing in action”, so the chain reaction that gets home sales at all levels moving and keeps values rising has been conspicuously absent.

Historically, the share of first-time buyers is 40% according to the National Association of Realtors®, and since 38

2011 the share of first-time buyers has remained under the historical average. In our census region of the U.S., the South, the share of first-time buyers was only 35% in 2014 compared to 46% in 20101. Wow! So what can be done to increase this percentage to boost home sales and home values in our area?

According to Yun, a key barrier to first-time home ownership has been stringent underwriting standards for home mortgages. In my experience with first-time buyers locally, coming up with a down payment and dealing with high mortgage insurance premiums have been their biggest barriers.

Enter USDA Financing. Although to some it may not feel like it anymore, Haymarket is a “rural area” according to the US Dept. of Agriculture, as are many areas surrounding Haymarket.

This presents an amazing opportunity for buyers in our area, and you don’t even have to be a first-time buyer!

Some Features of USDA Financing: • 100% Financing – No Down Payment!

• Flexible Credit & Qualifying Guidelines • Gift Funds Can Be Used for Closing Costs • Seller Can Pay Closing Costs

•

Competitive Fixed Rates • Income Cannot Exceed 115% of Area’s Median Income ($101K for 1-4 person households; 135k for 5 people or more) In Haymarket, year-over-year home sales (Units) were down just over 1% in 2014 through November, and the average Sold Price was up only 1.8%2.

As we enter the 2015 spring market, we can reverse this trend and begin that “uphill climb” by getting more first-time buyers and current renters into home ownership. USDA financing for rural homes is one way to do that. It is a winwin for buyers and sellers!

THE GARDEN

Lady The only food we have left from our summer garden is sweet potatoes, three kinds of regular potatoes and the sauce in the freezer that Gary made from our tomatoes. I get a thrill every time I use any of this – it’s just better than anything I can buy in a store.

Combine my yearning for garden fresh flavor with my love of growing things and every year about this time I pull out the sprouting jar and seeds.

Growing your own sprouts is fast, fun, cheap, delicious and really good for you. You can do this on only four inches of counter space in your kitchen with a minimal amount of equipment. It’s a great activity to do with kids because they can actively participate, the results are quick they can check the progress daily and see real change - and they might be interested in eating the very nutritious sprouts.

Start with a clean, wide mouth jar. Canning jars are great but so are large peanut butter jars and pasta sauce jars. For rinsing and draining you need either a fine mesh strainer or some cheesecloth. When the sprouts are harvested you will need a plastic tub with a lid or a plastic bag. And most importantly, seeds that are specifically for sprouting. These are different than garden seeds because they have been rigorously cleaned, tested for pathogens and selected for high germination rates. If you tried sprouting a while ago and still have some seeds left – use them! They have a shelf life for up to five years. Sprouting seeds can be purchased at large garden stores and health food stores. Basically any plant that we eat the stems and leaves of can be a “Sprout Seed.” The most

Sprouts Grow and Harvest Right Now

by Lynne Galluzzo

well known is Mung Bean but Radish (spicy sprouts), Beet, Pea, Sunflower, Alfalfa, Clover, Soybean, Broccoli and Flax are some of the other available sprouting seeds. There are companies online that offer mixes with fun names like French Garden, Clem’s Choice, Garbonzoid, Madison Market and Moo Mix. There is even “4 Legs of Love” sprout mix for dogs!

The process is easy. To start put 1 to 2 Tablespoons of seeds in your wide mouth jar. If you don’t want to measure just cover the bottom. A good rule of thumb is that 2 Tbsp. of Alfalfa seeds produces 2 cups of sprouts. Cover the seeds with 2 inches of warm water and let it sit over night.

This releases the seeds from dormancy.

The next morning drain out the water – the seeds may have absorbed quite a bit – through the mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Add new water to the seeds in the jar, swirl it around and drain that out too. Repeat the water, swirl and drain twice a day until harvest. Sprouts are ready usually in three to seven days. They are best used small and when they are just turning green. Take them out of the jar and put them in the plastic tub or bag with a paper towel to absorb moisture.

Use your fresh and tasty sprouts in salads, sandwiches and wraps. They will stay good for about a week. If you have any left put them in your compost pail and start using the new ones you have already started.

Consider that each seed was destined to be a whole plant that in itself was going to create a batch of seeds and you can see how powerful a sprout is. One cup of bean sprouts supplies 119% of the daily requirement of Vitamin C. Sprouts are just as powerful antioxidants as Blueberries.

Grow, harvest, eat healthy and enjoy it all during the cold, gray pre-garden months. How great is that?

BAKING

EUROPEAN TRADITION WITH A M E R I C A N I M AG I N AT I O N 46

W

hoever invented the phrase “there are too many cooks in the kitchen” has never been inside Lafayette Baking. In a place that is open and welcoming and where the employees gather together, the aroma of fresh bread baking in the oven makes visitors want to just tear a piece of off and try it. This bakery, located inside the Pace West building in Haymarket, may be one of the town’s most innovative and unique new features.

Haymarket Lifestyle

The concept for the bakery came about through a casual conversation between Shawn Landry, founder of Quality Business Engineering (QBE); Keith Lowry, President of QBE; and Keith Rinaldi, owner of Cafe Bonjour on Washington Street in Haymarket.

Landry and Lowry were at Rinaldi’s cafe discussing their plans for a new restaurant inside the old Pace West building which their company, QBE, purchased in June of 2012. Rinaldi jumped at the chance to partner with Landry and Lowry and offered his expertise from years of experience being taught by internationally renowned chefs all over the world. What resulted was a perfect match of a business partnership to form Lafayette that feels much more like a family to each of the partners involved.

When Lowry and Landry asked Chef Rinaldi what oven would be the appropriate purchase for the bakery, Rinaldi offered something cost efficient and practical. But Landry is not just an entrepreneur and business-minded person; he is also a visionary. Thinking ahead to the possible opportunities that might abound for the bakery, he asked Rinaldi what his dream oven would be.

Rinaldi then proposed an Italian Real Forni brick steam tube oven. There are only three other models of this oven in the United States. The oven was brought to the United States on a ship from Italy and installed by Italian craftsmen who built it by hand over the course of 3 weeks. This oven is capable of baking 750 loaves of bread every 45 minutes. The use of the steam tubes, resulting in a perfect thin, crispy outside with a meaty inside, gives the bread a texture and flavor that is unlike any other. The oven can reach a temperature of up to 800 degrees, which is also what makes the bread and pastries baked in it taste so unique.

On any given day, a peek inside the bakery would reveal Chef Rinaldi at a metal table rolling dough into long round strips that are then braided and rolled again to form Challah bread, a staple in Jewish households especially during the holidays. Loaves of stollen bread, a traditional German cake

made with dried fruit and marzipan and covered with powdered sugar, are wrapped up with shiny paper and ribbon, ready for delivery. Guy, one of the bakers, loads artisan baguettes to be steamed in the oven right after he scores them. Scoring the bread is each baker’s unique signature, says Rinaldi, a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the history, customs, and all things related to baking. Landry and Lowry are frequent visitors to the kitchen, often getting involved themselves, curious to create a new recipe but under the advisement of Chef Rinaldi, of course. The enthusiasm, passion, and enjoyment these “business” partners get from their venture is evident and captivating.

Lafayette Baking, much more than your average baking production shop, offers wholesale Artisan bread baked using Chef Rinaldi’s unique, signature recipes. Visitors looking to try the delicious offerings can visit Cafe Bonjour at 14950 Washington Street in Haymarket to sample the array of pastries and baked goods, such as scones, donuts, crepes and desserts. However, Lafayette Baking encourages businesses to contact them to discuss working together. Using bonded delivery drivers, the bakery currently delivers all over the metro DC area, including bi-weekly to the Covert Cafe in Vint Hill and Jimbo’s Grill in Gainesville, La Grange Winery in Haymarket and also some locations in Leesburg, the Airlie Center, a resort in Warrenton and farmer’s markets in Bealeton. During the holidays, Lafayette Baking delivered 350 loaves of bread to Under the Olive Tree, a store in Leesburg and Tyson’s Corner that sells olive oils, for holiday baskets for their clients that included Lafayette’s focaccia and challah breads. This is just one example of how Lafayette Baking can partner with businesses on similar concepts.

Lafayette Baking is eager to provide their delicious offerings while working out a unique partnership with local businesses. Restaurants, wineries, breweries, coffee shops, hotels, bed and breakfasts, resorts, and other

local entities can contact Jen Loeffler, Director of Sales at Lafayette Baking, at 571-606-8965 or through email at Jen@LBCBread.net.

LIFTING YOUR

Spirits

OLD BUST HEAD BREWING COMPANY Enjoy one of Virginia’s finest microbreweries – and so close to home!

Beer has joined wine on the local spirits scene and nobody is making a bigger entrance than Old Bust Head Brewing Company in Vint Hill.

Old Bust Head is the realization of a dream by Charles Kling, who approached the Vint Hill Economic Development Authority in 2010 with a proposal to open a brew pub adjacent to the Vint Hill Craft Winery.

Ike Broaddus, who worked for the Authority at that time, began working with Kling on his plans. A new State Law permitting the establishment of breweries and tap rooms was the impetus to expand Kling’s original vision. Broaddus, with support from his wife, Julie, provided the backing needed to grow Kling’s original brew pub into a brewery.

After settling into former warehouse space on the old Vint Hill Army Base, Old Bust Head began making beer in January of 2013.

Throughout 2013 and the first half of 2014, the brewery allowed customers to come in to taste and purchase 48

various beers while the building was undergoing extensive renovations. The opening of the Tap Room in August of 2014 saw a jump in customers coming to taste and buy various beers.

First time visitors are faced with a choice of 20-30 beers available for tasting and purchase. Luckily, the staff can suggest flights where several beers can be sampled. Of the original offerings, Bust Head Pale Ale, Wildcat IPA and Vixen Irish Red will complement any meal with a variety of meats. Appetizers go nicely with Chukker Czech Pilsner. Like Mexican? Try Chinquapin Chestnut Porter, which also pairs well with dark chocolate.

Kids can come for Root Beer or Root Beer Floats and dogs are welcome outside.
