Fauquier Health Screening Tests for Women are the Best Preventative Medicine

Dr. Esther Bahk, of Fauquier Health Internal Medicine at Lake Manassas, believes that “Women have something better than a fountain of youth to help them live long and well — preventive screening tests. These help catch diseases and other medical problems early, when they are most treatable.”

The following is a list of important screenings for women based on the recommendations of major health organizations and U.S. government agencies. Dr. Bahk suggested, “Talk to your doctor to find out which tests and what schedules are best for you.”

Pelvic Exam Who needs it: Women, ages 18 and older; sexually active women When to have it: Annually for first three years, then every one to three years based on results Heart Disease Blood Pressure Test Who needs it: Women ages 21 and older When to have it: Every one to two years based on results Cholesterol Test Who needs it: Women ages 20 and older When to have it: Every five years Diabetes Blood Sugar Test Who needs it: Women ages 45 and older, and pregnant women at high risk (Pregnant women at risk for gestational diabetes include those who are older than age 25, have had the condition before or have a family history of diabetes.)

When to have it: Once at age 45, then every three years; during pregnancy, if needed

Pap Test Who needs it: Women ages 21 and older When to have it: Every two years for women ages 21 to 29 (Women 30 and older who have had three consecutive negative Pap tests can reduce screening to every three years.)

Clinical Breast Exam Who needs it: Women ages 18 and older When to have it: Every three years for women ages 20 to 39; yearly from age 40 Mammogram (Breast X-ray) Who needs it: Women ages 40 and older When to have it: Every one to two years3 Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) Who needs it: Women ages 50 and older When to have it: Every one to two years Other Tests Your Doctor May Recommend Colonoscopy Who needs it: Women ages 50 and older When to have it: Every five to 10 years, depending on test results.

Dr. Esther Bahk sees patients at Fauquier Health Internal Medicine at Lake Manassas in Gainesville.

After earning her Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Kansas Medical School in 2005, Dr. Bahk completed the Georgetown University/ Washington Hospital Center Internal Medicine Internship and Residency Program. Prior to medical school, Dr. Bahk earned a Master of Public Health degree from Columbia University.

Dr. Bahk can be reached at (703)743-7300.

How to Limit Colorectal Cancer Colorectal cancer is a tale of two age groups. Among people older than 50, rates of this disease have been falling. Credit increased screening, which can prevent some cases by finding precancerous growths. However, among those younger than 50 — who aren’t routinely screened — a study found that colorectal cancer rates have risen since the early 1990s.

What’s to blame? If you’re a young adult, choosing a healthy diet and managing your weight may help. If you’re in the 50-plus group, the same tactics complement regular screening.

Starting at age 50, it’s crucial to get screened periodically for this disease. Screening helps detect cancer early, when it’s easier to treat.

Some tests also help find precancerous growths, called polyps, so they can be removed before they turn into cancer. There are several types of screenings for colorectal cancer. Your doctor can help you choose the best screening method for you.

Buckland,

the ‘time capsule’ village on Broad Run

Part I: Quiet setting today belies Buckland’s rich heritage and historical significance

By John T. Toler Driving south on U.S. 29 where it crosses Broad Run, one can catch a glimpse of the old stone tavern on the corner, and farther back, some old houses and a large frame building next to the stream that was once a mill.

This community in a shallow valley along Broad Run is what remains of the town of Buckland, once called “the Lowell of Prince William County,” a reference to the industrial town of Lowell, Mass.

The curious who venture down the short, narrow section of Route 684 leading back to the mill quickly realize that they have entered a place that is very special, if not unique; the number of historic site markers along the street remove any doubt.

Due to its location in a high-growth area directly on a heavily traveled highway, in recent years Buckland has faced certain obliteration.

Fortunately, people connected to the village, including current property owners and other kindred spirits, became aware of the village’s endangered condition, and have acted.

Along with his neighbors, David W. Blake, owner of nearby Buckland Farm, founded the Buckland Preservation Society Inc. in 2003.

They realized that Buckland offered at least three separate “historical landscapes” that have survived virtually intact: • The Town of Buckland and the immediate surrounding areas, which are now protected in a 497-acre National Register Historic District; • The entire core ground of the 1863 Buckland Mills Battlefield, as established by the American Battlefield Protection Program; and • A Native American town/trading center and sacred site on the Susquehanna Plain Path (Old Carolina Road) at Buckland.

Above: Label once used for products manufactured at the Buckland Woolen Mill. Below: Contemporary drawing by Civil War artist Alfred Waud, depicting Gen. George Armstrong Custer’s position at Cerro Gordo, on the heights above Buckland during the Battle of Buckland Mills, Oct. 19, 1863.

Because so much of these separate historic landscapes survive as well as the original buildings in their original contexts, Mr. Blake believes that Buckland could be restored “…in a way you can’t restore other historic places.”

To this end, the BPS has used several different methods to acquire and protect the property in and around Buckland, and much of the land has been placed in permanent easement – never to be developed, and protected from encroachment.

Buckland’s Rich Heritage There was already business activity going on in the town on Broad Run originally called “Buck Land” by the Native Americans, when Samuel Love, Buckland’s “Founding Father,” purchased land from Robert “King” Carter’s sons and son-in-law in the area, including a mill and dam. He also built Buckland Hall, a stone house east of the village.

Changes began in 1775, after Love petitioned Fauquier County (at the time it was thought that the little settlement was in Fauquier) to build an improved public road that could carry wagon traffic from Warrenton to his mill on Broad Run, replacing the rutted, inadequate private road then in use.

It was determined that there was sufficient public need, and the road was one of the first public roads in the region. Samuel Love’s sons Samuel, John, Charles and Augustine served as Virginia Regiment officers during the Revolutionary War, and returned to transform Buckland into a vibrant mercantile center.

Beside (Love’s) mill, they built an assortment of secondary structures for production of manufactured goods at the base of the lane leading to the main house.

The Town of Buckland was chartered by an Act of the Virginia General Assembly in 1797, and included 48 lots on both sides of Broad Run and the Town Common, with the road passing through the settlement.

The influence of the Love family on Buckland cannot be overstated. In 1808, John Love, then a U.S. congressman representing Fauquier and Prince William counties, formed the Fauquier-Alexandria Turnpike, which would link Fauquier Court House – by way of Buckland – with the Little River Turnpike (present-day Route 7), and on to Alexandria.

January 2012

Buckland Mill is the only one of the three mills in Buckland to survive. In this late 19th century photo, the large dam on Broad Run can be seen.

It took several years for the first paved road in Virginia to be built. French engineer Claudius Crozet was engaged to design and construct the portion that passed through Buckland. It was Crozet who determined that the new road should pass through the center of Buckland, rather than the north end, upstream of Broad Run, where an old wooden bridge once stood. In addition to taking four lots out of the original plan, the placement of the road would have a lasting impact on the town.

The Battle of Buckland Mills

From an historic viewpoint, the actual construction of the turnpike was also significant. In addition to being Crozet’s first project in Virginia, it was built using the new process developed by John Loudoun McAdam, whereby a roadbed of smaller stones built up between two ditches was paved over with larger stones, creating what at the time was considered to be “the finest road in Virginia.”

Fortunately for Buckland, the presence of Union troops in the area did not result in the burning the town, as it did in Haymarket in November 1862. But Buckland was the scene of a significant battle involving 12,000 cavalrymen supported by artillery that took place on Oct. 19, 1863.

With the road improvements, Buckland became a regular stop on “Extra Billy” Smith’s stagecoach route. The “Stagecoach Inn” was built in 1824 to accommodate travelers, and a post office established in the town by 1800.

By the 1830s, the town had two waterpowered gristmills, a woolen factory, two successive distilleries, blacksmith’s shop, tannery, several stores and a stone quarry.

Other enterprises were attracted to the area and leased parcels in the town, and soon there were two taverns, an apothecary, a wheelwright and a cooper, a boot and shoemaker, and a saddle maker offering their products and services.

Residents continued to move into Buckland, building homes in and near the town, including skilled laborers, craftsmen and professionals. By 1855 about 130 whites and 50 freed African Americans and several hundred enslaved were living in Buckland.

After Confederate forces abandoned their defensive positions at Centreville in March 1862, Union troops moved south into the Piedmont, occupying towns and villages including Warrenton, Haymarket and Buckland.

In August 1862, the first shots of the Battle of Second Manassas were fired when Union Gen. Pope’s men were involved in a local skirmish on the Buckland Bridge.

At the beginning of the day, Confederate forces under Gen. J.E.B. Stuart held the Town of Buckland. Using the buildings in the town for cover, they fired on Union cavalry and artillery under Gen. George A. Custer positioned on the high ground across Broad Run at the Cerro Gordo plantation, the home of Charles Hunton.

When Stuart’s troops retreated by design west on the turnpike from Buckland, heading west on the turnpike, Union cavalry under Gen. Henry E. Davies and Gen. Judson Kilpatrick pursued them, leaving Custer to guard the town and ridge above it.

Riding hard toward Warrenton, Stuart lured the Union forces into a Confederate trap west of present-day Greenwich Road (present-day Rt. 215), where 5,200 cavalrymen under Gen. Fitzhugh Lee were concealed in the woods.

As Davies’ brigade passed the wooded area, Lee ordered his cannons to fire, springing the trap. The advancing Union column was cut in half, and a running battle on the turnpike from New Baltimore to Buckland raged, as the forward element of the Union force fled toward Gainesville and Haymarket. The pursuit of the Union cavalry by Lee and Stuart’s men later became known as the “Buckland Races.”

Lee and Stuart combined their forces and attacked the confused Union troops from the front, flank and rear, and driving them back to Broad Run in full retreat. Likewise, Custer’s men, who were bringing up the rear as the battle unfolded, were pushed back to the Buckland Bridge.

About 250 Union soldiers were reported killed or wounded in the battle, as well as 200 captured, and marched to the jail in Warrenton. Half the Union army’s ambulances and wagons carrying medical supplies were captured, along with Custer’s personal papers, which were later published in a Richmond newspaper, in a clear effort to humiliate him.

Commenting on the Confederate victory, Custer – who had two horses shot out from under him – noted that the Battle of Buckland Mills “…was the most disastrous this division ever passed through … I cannot but regret the loss of so many brave men.” Historians studying the battle note that Custer’s decision to defy orders and hold his men back after the initial attack, rather than rushing into the trap likely spared the lives of many of his cavalrymen.

This has become known as “Custer’s First Stand.”

The Battle of Buckland Mills was the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia’s last cavalry offensive, and Gen. Stuart’s last victory over enemy cavalry.

Preservation Efforts Organized Buckland enjoyed periods of moderate prosperity after the Civil War, but like many 19th century agricultural communities, was not immune to economic depression and events beyond its control. A changing world left the town behind, and the catastrophic flooding of Broad Run that happened also took its toll.

By the 1930s, Buckland was a mere village scattered over a sloping hill, where filling stations and small, tumbled-down old 10

structures and the crumbling remains of Buckland Tavern marked the site of the old town.

Although the village took another serious hit in 1951, when U.S. 29 was widened to four lanes, only a small slice of the historic features of the town were lost. The original foundations of the few buildings taken remain extant.

Addressing the fragile existence of Buckland, BPS directors initiated a project to preserve and eventually restore the town on those original foundations.

Philosophically, they believe that ownership is the best foundation for stewardship, and that historic preservation is the highest and best use of their properties.

In that spirit, BPS members have placed nearly 400 acres of the Buckland Historic Landscape into permanent protective easements. BPS has a formal long-term plan approved by the American Battlefield Protection Program to continue placing easements on 2,333 acres of the battlefield core area.

Richard Bland Lee V, the fourth generation of the Lee family to live at Buckland, serves as Chairman Emeritus. Involved in historic preservation efforts, Mr. Lee also served as chairman of the Sully Foundation.

David W. Blake serves as BPS chairman.

In addition to his home, Buckland Hall, Mr. Blake has placed 100 acres of Buckland Farm into permanent easement, and has a plan with the ABBP to continue easements and acquiring other parcels on the battlefield, which will also be protected by easements.

BPS President Linda Wright and her husband Edward B. “Barry” Wright have

owned Cerro Gordo Farm since 1983.

The main house overlooks Broad Run and the village, and figured prominently in the Civil War actions at Buckland. The Wrights also own the old post office in the village.

Vice president of the BPS is Thomas Ashe, who acquired the Buckland Tavern at the corner with U.S. 29 in 1975. He later purchased the Richard Gill house, the Hampton-Trone house, the Eppa Hunton Schoolhouse, part of the original Town Common, and St. Luke’s Church.

Director Brian Mannix and his wife Susan Dudley acquired the Buckland Mill tract in 1986, and live in the Miller’s House next to the mill. Their property includes approximately 4,000 feet of the Broad Run streambed and is now under easement.

Mrs. Betty Evans, who with her late husband Thomas Mellon Evans owned Buckland Farm for four decades, also serves as a director.

Past Director John McBride, an attorney who specializes in the areas of land use and development, continues to be actively involved with the society.

The Buckland Preservation Society works closely with the National Park Service’s American Battlefield Protection Program, the Virginia Department of Historic Department of Historic Resources, the counties of Prince William and Fauquier, APVA Preservation of Virginia, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Journey Through Hallowed Ground, the Land Trust of Virginia and others to

Major accomplishments include listing the Buckland Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places, and gaining federal recognition of the Buckland Mills Battlefield.

Their success in preserving land through easements has been recognized, and the BPS has been awarded matching grants from federal, state and private funds to purchase additional properties that will be put into protective easements. The terms of these grants call for pubic access to the historic areas, something the BPS fully endorses as part of their research and educational commitment.

By providing a window into Virginia’s industrial, architectural and cultural past, they are confident that Buckland can become a destination for those involved in heritage tourism, bringing visitors to the area and stimulating the economy as part of the Journey Through Hallowed Ground Program.

Buckland Preservation Society Chairman David W. Blake, reviewing documents pertaining Buckland at his home.

“Tourism is the #1 industry in 15 counties in the Journey Through Hallowed Ground,” according to Cate Mageniss Wyatt, founder and president of the JHTG. “Tourism generates $3 billion in revenue, and 54,364 jobs in the region.”

Buckland is close to the middle of the 180-mile Gettysburg-to-Monticello Journey Through Hallowed Ground, and Buckland – with nearby access to I-66 – is ”an excellent gateway to the JTHG,” she added.

Part II, to be published in February, deals with the new initiatives taken on by the Buckland Preservation Society Inc., and what the future may hold.

Keeping the Holidays

Poinsettias and Amaryllis do not have to be thrown out in the holiday clean up. Both plants can be kept alive and become festive again next year. Keep them both in a sunny spot; water and fertilize regularly.

Move Poinsettias outside when the night temperature reaches 50 degrees. Repot your Poinsettia into a larger pot, cut it back by half, fertilize and keep in a sunny spot.

Continue to prune it over the summer so that it stays compact. These get leggy easily.

Stop pruning in September and bring it indoors. Poinsettias need 9 hours of daylight and 15 hours of darkness to get red leaves. I put mine in a sunny window in a room that isn’t used much. Some people recommend putting a box over it or taking it in and out of a closet. I am certain I would forget to do either one of these. It is a magical thing when the leaves start to tinge red and then the plant becomes holiday red again and you did it yourself.

Amaryllis can be moved outside when the threat of frost is past. Like Poinsettias it needs a sunny spot – these are both tropical plants. Feed it twice a month – it is developing its flower deep inside the bulb. In September bring it in and put it in a cool dark place for about 8 weeks. No need to water but try not to forget about this one either.

Cut off the old foliage, discard the old soil, repot in new soil with a third of the bulb showing above. Place it in a sunny spot, water and stand back. Baby bulbs can be potted up in their own “Nursery” pot. They won’t bloom the first year but given the same treatment they will in following years.

I confess I have thrown both of these away when I got too many pots of Amaryllis or the Poinsettias looked really awful but I have also had a great time bringing them back year after year.

P

reparation & precaution for Hair, for Life

“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”

Audrey Hepburn’s famous quote is so relevant to our teens of today! With a culture of “mean girls” running rampant in our schools, teaching our young ladies how powerful the tongue is, and that our words can bring forth life and encouragement or can bring forth discouragement and destruction, is critical!

Here are a few helpful hints I have shared with my 13-year-old daughter to help guide her through this precarious time in her life: • Everyone has gifts, talents and beautiful attributes. Look for what is unique in each person and encourage that in them!

• A person can make you feel inferior only if you allow them.

Choose carefully whom you spend your time with. A true friend will always encourage you to be your personal best.

• Anger is the mask of hurt. If you know someone that is acting ugly and mean, that usually indicates they are hurting and need your love and grace the most!

• You don’t have to be like everyone else. We were each created to be individual, there is only ONE of you!! Be a leader, not a follower! Share kindness with others and see that it will be contagious!

DON’T… Forget to use a good conditioner. A lot of people don’t because they feel it weighs down their hair. If you have one professionally recommended that is designed for your hair type, it makes a BIG difference. There are weightless conditioners out there! You also don’t need to put them at the root, run them through the mid shaft and ends of the hair only.

Our teen beauty tip for this month is dos and don’ts of great home hair care:

Use over-the-counter hair coloring products. The first couple of applications may seem fine, but extended use of these colors and layering them on is when you get into trouble. We have seen an incredible amount of damage resulting from over the counter hair color. Spend the time and money to see a professional. Choose a salon that is a relaxing experience so that it is an opportunity to be refreshed and feel recharged!

DO… Use a de-tangler in your hair before you comb it out. Your hair is most vulnerable to damage when it is wet. If you yank and pull at it while you are combing it out, it creates damage and split ends.

We think the best de-tangler is Tiger Moisture Mist -- spray 4-10 squirts of it in (depending on length and density of hair), comb through and blow-dry into the hair for added moisture and protein.

Turn your flat irons or curling irons on too high! The finer your hair, the lower the temperature should be. Only a person that has incredibly thick and coarse hair should be using the higher settings. Be very careful with this; if your hair is not growing, you are probably damaging the ends so much that they are breaking off, so even though its growing at the root, it is also simultaneously breaking off at the ends making you think its not growing.

Blow-dry your hair in a downward direction of the hair shaft away from the roots, down the shaft of the hair. If you turn the air from your blow dryer upward you will create a ruffling of the cuticle that will result in frizziness and damage.

Remember, a little preparation and some precaution will go a long way toward keeping your hair beautiful and healthy!

When using a hot tool like a curling iron, use a thermal spray as well. It will protect and set your curls so that they will stay all day; no sense in doing all that work for nothing! We use and recommend Aquage Thermal setting spray.

Treasures

the table

A dining room table has always had a simple existence. This style of table has certainly been functional in our homes - known for its dominance in the formal dining room, displaying grand centerpieces, entertaining dinner party guests and enjoying a holiday meal with family. With a reputation of sophistication and proper etiquette, the dining room table is often forgotten when it comes to natural, intimate and comfortable gatherings. A boutique in Haymarket, however has transformed its traditional uses into something remarkable.

In the back corner of Needles in the Haymarket, quietly sits a large dining room table and eight chairs with noticeable wear. The table bashfully disguises itself as a regular craft table with creative tools making the centerpiece.

Two very loved

16

armchairs, a cupboard, and handmade items surround the table to shape a comfortable space. One by one the seats fill slowly disturbing the stillness, and the table top begins to get cluttered with needles, yarn and worksin-progress. Calmness sneaks out the door past some not-so-formal guests without being noticed; soon chatter and laughter start radiating from the table.

“Oh my golly,” smiled Co-Owner Judy Jones of Needles in the

Haymarket. “I can’t tell you what goes on at this table.”

As quickly as needles stitch yarn, friendships are formed. All sorts of things are learned sitting around the table, from specific questions about an individual project, personal stories, dirty jokes, knitting lessons as well as life lessons.

“It’s family; you come in here and you just get to be family,” Jones explained about the relationships formed around the table. “You know everything about everybody; you know their kids and grandkids – it’s just fun!”

The table is lively with a circle that is ever changing. Solely based on the dedication of a group of women enchanted by their fondness for this time-tested craft. As little at four to as many as fifteen women sit in or around the table each day gently coming and going. For some this is a daily destination, a place to come and meet up with friends and make new ones. Others have come to know the table from stopping into stock up on supplies, to flip through project books for inspiration, or to get help on a particular project and end up taking a seat.

“We had a lady came in and say ‘I heard about your table and I want to come sit and knit’,” Jones mentioned.

“So word just gets out about the table.”

When the shop first opened, co-owners Jones and Pam Mendell recognized the need for a table where people can sit and knit when they opened six years ago. A little table with just four chairs they started out with. Before long they began adding more chairs up front and had a collection of close to twenty metal chairs to provide seats to their guests. The need for a bigger table was evident when they expanded two years ago and they brought in the current table. The original table is now a

Haymarket LifestyLe

display table up front with additional seating.

“We decided we were going to have a place where people can come, sit and knit,” Jones explained. “I don’t care if people come in here and just sit they don’t have to knit.”

Now guests as far away as Centreville, Warrenton, Manassas and Leesburg have come to sit at this community table. With the majority of Haymarket being home to people who have lived outside the area there is a strong need to connect with others in a place so new. Others may not have family or friends in the area or just need a place to sit and enjoy themselves amongst the company of others. Each guests proves to be a special addition adding their flavor to the already eccentric bunch.

“The table just kind of grew,” Jones said. “Before we knew it people were saying ‘You’ve got to go!’”

While regular sitters seem to be the biggest advocate of the table sharing stories with their friends and encouraging them to join, Needles in the Haymarket offers support, classes and events that also attract many new guests. The table hosts women who are experienced in all types of techniques, and it is not uncommon to come in and receive help from a seated lady rather than staff. It’s all shared in neighborly conversation.

Classes are attractive to the novice as well as the experienced looking to sharpen their skill set. Offering these classes provides an opportunity for anyone interested in knitting or crocheting to be an active contributor at the table. Bigger events like their Shaw-a-thon brings together committed knitters to collectively work on the same project individually using personalized colors. It’s a great way to socialize, polish techniques and attempt a new project.

This knitting boutique offers more than supplies and education. Their table gives Haymarket a connection to the community through its ladies, conversations, projects and their loyalty in supporting local business by ordering lunch daily. Stop in today and see what the table will offer you.

Needles in the Haymarket is located at 15125 Washington Street #108 next to Cupcake Heaven. They are open six days a week Monday through Friday 10:00am to 6:00pm and Saturday 10:00am to 5:00pm. They offer a variety of classes like Introduction to Knitting, Introduction to Crochet, How to Read a Knitting Pattern, How to Read a Knitting Chart, Beginner Knitting Project, Oops! Class, Finishing Class and Socks on Double-Point Needles. Their website offers an abundance of information including supplies, classes, discounts, and events.

This Year I Mean It – Really!

Seven Steps to Realizing Your 2012 Fitness Resolutions

The hustle and bustle of the holidays has come and gone, we’ve rang in the New Year and if you’re like many others who have an interest in improving themselves you’ve gone through the annual ritual of creating New Year’s Resolutions. Personally, I’ve always had mixed feelings about New Year’s Resolutions – sure I’m interested in self improvement, but I’m also used to letting myself down as the calendar passes from January to February, etc, etc… Over the past several years I’ve made a habit of setting annual goals for myself in several different categories; Professional, Relationships, Health to name a few. In 2011, I set some lofty fitness goals under the Health heading that included competing in an International Distance Triathlon and completing a Marathon, both things I had never done before. Thankfully, I was able to achieve both of these milestones and I offer the following steps to assist you in achieving your health and fitness goals in 2012.

1

Write it down

2

Review Your Goal Early and Often

3

I am sure most of you have heard this tip and in theory it seems like a simple step to follow. However, I’m baffled by the small minority of people that actually take this step. There’s something about writing down a goal that forces us to think and clearly focus on an item we would like to achieve.

Once you’ve written your goal(s) down don’t simply put them in a pile on your desk or saved to the My Documents file or your computer. The cliché “out of sight, out of mind” drives this point home. Put that list where you will have the opportunity to review them on a regular basis. I personally have a copy of my goals on my bathroom mirror. I review them while brushing my teeth and in some sense, they help me plan for tomorrow or shape the day ahead. Whether you post it on your mirror, the refrigerator or on the wallpaper on your computer, You will have a constant reminder of the promise or promises you made to yourself at the beginning of the year.

Be Realistic and Pace Yourself

We often hear success stories that involve an intense weight loss or a great fitness accomplishment and while these are impressive achievements, I suspect that these are the exceptions rather than the norm. Set your own personal goals. Establish goals where you can get small wins and build upon those successes over time. Don’t burn yourself out early in the year or worse risk injury from starting off too fast– rather commit to changing behaviors and following a well thought out plan to realize your ultimate goal. resolution continued on page 20

Work with a Coach to Develop a Plan

5

Tell Others About Your Goal

6 7

As a college student I took up golf and snow skiing and did both on the cheap. That is, I self taught myself both of these sports because I couldn’t afford a lesson. For those who have golf or skied with me this fact is very apparent to this day. With that said, this past year I sought the help of coaches for both my marathon and triathlon training. Sure, I could run, ride a bike and not drown in a pool, but the encouragement and expertise of a coach helped me formulate a specific plan to achieve my goals. There is no sense in reinventing the wheel or guessing if your training plan will be enough to get you across the finish line – hook up with someone who has done it before and ask for their help. I’m sure they will be delighted that you asked.

Now that you have decided to drop a few pounds or run a 5K, share your goal with others. Share your goal with your family, post it on your Facebook page or mention it to co-workers at the office. Sharing your goal will in a sense creates a web of support and accountability. Family will be more likely to prepare or eat healthier meal options, co-workers may ask, “How’s your training going?” You may even encourage others to join in with you. Know that others are watching may be just the motivation you need to skip that dessert or get that early morning training run in before heading to the office for the day.

Commit to Something Bigger

This past year I competed in the Nation’s Triathlon as a member of Team In Training and what an experience. For those not familiar with Team In Training they provide coaches and mentors to help ordinary people such as myself complete, marathons, century bike rides and triathlons. In exchange, participants agree to help raise awareness money to help fighting leukemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers. Not only are you working towards achieving a personal goal, but you’re making a difference in the lives of others. Getting up early on a Saturday for a training run seems like a privilege when compared to the experience of an individual battling cancer. Team In Training is just one example of many organizations you can partner with to raise awareness and funds. If you have a particular passion or cause close to your heart – you can bet an organization exists that would be happy to enter into a mutually beneficial relationship.

Reward Yourself

You’ve achieved something out of the ordinary and no doubt made some sacrifices along the way. You deserve to treat yourself. Whether you purchase a new outfit, treat yourself to an evening on the town or travel to a weekend getaway at the beach – when you’re setting your goal, think about how you would like to reward yourself make sure to keep that promise when you’ve succeeded. Personally, I love to travel. Going forward, I have decided I am going to couple my next fitness goal with a trip by signing up to race in an event in a different city. You will certainly always have the personal satisfaction of achieving the milestone and your reward may literally be the icing on the cake.

While many of the above tips are not new, I hope the combination of the above steps will help you set and achieve great things in 2012. For those who have not set any goals or resolutions, it is never too late. You may be surprised at what you can accomplish if you truly commit to living a healthier life.

Park West Lions Club 50 Years Improving our Community Nearly one hundred years ago, a single question was presented by a Chicago business leader, “What if people put their talents to work improving their communities?” That unassuming question sparked the world’s largest service club organization, Lions Club International. With over 1.35 million members and more than 46,000 clubs, the Lions are all motivated by the simple idea to improve their community.

Improving Western Prince William County, the Park West Lions Club (PWLC) maintains the Sudley and West Gate areas of Manassas, Bristow, Gainesville, Linton Hall, Haymarket, Bull Run Mountain and Catharpin.

‘We Serve’ proudly and simply describes the dedication to humanitarian causes supported by the PWLC. Providing almost fifty years of service in our community, the men and women of the PWLC have held fundraisers and service projects to help those in need. Not only is their most recognizable service is to the blind and visually impaired but they support youth activities, local families needing financial assistance and the elderly.

In the mid 1920’s, Helen Keller addressed the Lions Club International Convention in Ohio challenging the Lions to become “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.” Since that speech the Lions have devoted most of their work to aid the visually 22

impaired. Their work in our area is extensive including helping countless members with free quality eye care, eyeglasses, eye surgery, guide dogs, hearing examinations and hearing aids. All of these services were made available where they might not have been obtainable otherwise.

“Most recently we participated in Haymarket Day; we actually had the Sight and Hearing Van out there,” mentioned PWLC President, Ed Robinson, Jr. Each van is equipped and supplied so that the Lions Club can conduct free sight, glaucoma, hearing and blood pressure screenings. This van was present at Haymarket Day providing services to those in attendance.

Community events, nursing homes, assisted living centers and schools are also visited by the van. Receiving specialized training the Lions are able to determine if an issue is present then refer the individual to a specialist for further evaluation.

“The newest thing we are doing now is preschool vision screening,” explained Robinson. For early detection and prevention of any eye or hearing issues.

In addition to screenings the PWLC became a satellite center for the Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center of Northern Virginia. This successful operation has collected, processed and recycled over thirteen thousand

Lions actively cleaning and sorting donated eyeglasses for the Eyeglass Recycling Program.

— The Story of Briyanna’s Arrival —

10 fingers. 10 toes.

24 years in the making.

When you wait 24 years between pregnancies, you have plenty of time to create the perfect birth experience.

That’s what Andrea Brown did when she discovered she was expecting her second child. She interviewed physicians and toured hospitals and was immediately drawn to OB/GYN Dr. Thomas Myers, and Fauquier Hospital.

“I felt like I was in my own private hotel suite,”Andrea recalls.

On the big day, Fauquier’s labor and delivery staff was there for Andrea every step of the way. “They were my angels,” she remembers. And at 9:36am, another angel entered Andrea’s life: An 8 lbs.11oz. bundle of joy named Briyanna.

pairs of eyeglasses just last year. Each pair is washed, cleaned and the prescription is verified through four of their Lensometers. The glasses collected are redistributed to individuals in need around the world. Their recycling program is currently conducted on Wednesday evenings from 7:00pm to 9:00pm and Thursday mornings from 10:00am to 12:00pm. There are fourteen drop-off locations in the Manassas, Gainesville, and Bristow areas as well.

Fundraising is a major part of the PWLC success in helping the community. Their events are community based, encouraging participation amongst its residents.

The funds generated at each event are collected and redistributed through their community service projects.

Their most popular activity by far is Bingo, which is held every Monday. Doors open at 4:30 and the early bird game begins at 7:00pm. Come and experience the excitement with 100 other participants. The jackpot game pays out one thousand dollars!

The ‘All You Care To Eat’ Spaghetti Dinner is another wellliked community fundraiser. Held on the third Friday of each month, mounds of spaghetti are cooked and topped with zesty red tomato sauce and hearty meatballs, served with a garden salad, garlic bread, cake and refreshments.

This is a great evening out for a family or a group of friends to enjoy a great home cooked meal for a good cause.

Their $10,000 Super Raffle each spring certainly has the community excited. Tickets are sold at $100 each and one ticket allows two people to attend the raffle event. There is a full buffet and open bar all night as the numbers are

called. Each number pulled from the tumbler is eliminated from the drawing until the last ten tickets are left.

“During the course of the evening as we call the numbers, every tenth number gets either $100 or $50 back,” Robinson explained about the Super Raffle.

Each of the remaining ten ticket holders are asked if they would like to split the $10,000 or try for the whole amount. If one person doesn’t want to split it another number is drawn and this cycle continues until the group agrees on splitting or one person wins. It is an riveting night to experience with a lot of winners.

PWLC is a very active organization supporting causes and activities that continue to better our community. While the majority of their efforts are service and fundraising, they have time to build relationships and friendships through fun socials.

“It’s always been thought of as retired guys, you know that are in the club and people who have a lot of time,” explained Robinson. “It doesn’t take a lot of time, you can put as much time into it as you would like.”

The PWLC is seeking membership challenging this common misrepresentation. They are seeking caring men, women, and young adults that are willing to share their time and skills to shape and update their community.

“The satisfaction of knowing that people living in your community that aren’t as fortunate as you, you’ve been able to reach out and touch them in someway that was beneficial,” Robinson explains about his commitment to being a Lion.

The Park West Lions Club is located 8620 Sunnygate Drive in Manassas. Their monthly meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month beginning at 6:30pm with a social dinner and the official meeting starting at 7:00pm. All are welcome to join to learn more about the Park West Lions Club and the Lions Club International.

BROOKLYN Pizza, Pasta, Salads and Sandwiches with a New York Attitude Hand-painted New York inspired murals dress the walls of this Brooklyn style pizza place. The warmth and aroma of fresh dough, zesty sauce, melted mozzarella, and hearty toppings welcome and entice all guests. Exposed brick, comfortable booths, a wine wall, family style seating and kind staff take Brooklyn Bros Pizza from the quintessential pizza joint to a stylish yet family friendly pizza paradise.

Begin with their Pepperoni Rolls, hand made dough, mozzarella, and pepperoni rolled cinnamon bun-style with a flavorful marinara dipping sauce. Mussels Provencal made with a white wine broth including garlic and tomatoes served with crusty flat bread or their Wings tossed in their house sauce will certainly satisfy. For a soup and salad pairing check out their Minestrone offered daily and their Greek Salad featuring crisp lettuce, feta cheese, black olives, cucumbers, red onion and vinaigrette – add gyro meat for an extra treat.

If meat and toppings between bread sound good to you try one of their jam-packed sandwiches. The Cheese Steak is a customer favorite with onions, lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, mayo and melted provolone. Jersey Joe’s provides an abundance of layers including cappicola ham, salami, pepperoni, prosciutto, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red onion, banana peppers, sweet peppers and house dressing. Seasoned lamb and beef on a lightly toasted pita with tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomato, and red onion combine to make their Gyro. The Brooklyn Bomber will no doubt fill you up with two pounds of seasoned Angus beef served your way with fries and coleslaw.

Brooklyn Brother’s offers seventeen different New York style pies on their menu; all built with handmade dough, savory sauce, and fresh mozzarella layered with a variety of intense toppings. Try the house-named pizza, Brooklyn Brother’s. It’s topped with ham, pepperoni,

BROS PIZZA sausage, bacon and salami – it’s the owner’s choice. The Wise Guy will change your thoughts on a traditional pizza created with pesto sauce, cheese-filled tortellini, mozzarella, olive oil, parmesan, sausage links and roasted red peppers. The Buffalo Chicken has a kick with their house-made hot sauce, bacon, marinated grilled chicken, red onion, and mozzarella with blue cheese crumbles. They also offer a gluten free pizza and are willing to accommodate any pizza creation.

Along with pizza and sandwiches they have rich pasta dishes. One to certainly try is their Homemade Lasagna, a traditional meat lasagna with ricotta, baked mozzarella and marinara sauce. The Eggplant Parmesan is satisfying with breaded eggplant tossed in their marinara drizzled with parmesan and mozzarella. Small pasta pockets filled with wild mushrooms and cheese covered in their marinara or Alfredo sauce, makes their Mushroom Ravioli. All pasta entrees are served with toasted garlic bread, house salad and a marinara or meat sauce.

Let Brooklyn Bros Pizza take your hunger pains away. They are located at 8010 Crescent Park Drive in the Madison Crescent Shopping Center in Gainesville. They open seven days a week, Monday through Thursday 11:00am to 9:00pm, Friday and Saturday 11:00am to 10:00pm and Sunday 11:00am to 8:00pm.

Haymarket Gainesville Business Association

The New Year’s Resolution for Business By: Stephen D. Lofaso, Esq.

goals

Around this time each year, we, as individuals, resolve to change ourselves in some manner or form. Normally, we attempt, and usually fail, to overcome that one vice which continuously plagues us year after year. Whether it is quitting drinking libations, losing those five pounds of fat so we can get into our favorite pair of pants, or getting over our insatiable appetite for our crazy uncle’s “Turducken Sandwich Surprise” (which, by the way, may have something to do with our inability to lose those five pounds), we all try our hardest to give up that one nagging vice one way or another. However, no matter how strong our will and our motivation most years we fail.

We do not easily see the reason for our failure. Normally, we become content to live with our unfulfilled resolution for another year. We rationalize our failure by categorizing our goal as too lofty or our vice as too difficult to overcome. However, the real reason for our failure lies with our inability to see our real objective, properly. We set a goal of quitting things or losing weight rather than a goal of living healthier.

If we set our goal as living a healthier lifestyle, we realize giving up those scrumptious sandwiches is merely a process towards achieving our real desire. This realization gives us focus to accomplish our real goal thus improving our chance at success. This same rule applies to business.

When one asks businesses what their goals are for the upcoming year, businesses give many different responses. Some businesses say they plan to roll out a new product as their goal. Others resolve to become more active in the community in order to generate good public relations. Yet, even others claim their goal is to develop better customer service. Whatever the response these businesses miss the

30

point and the real goal. By years end, they normally cannot figure out why their business failed to grow. They introduced the newest and best product. They became involved in the community and had a real impact. They redoubled their efforts at customer service. Yet at years end, the income statement and balance sheet did not improve the way the business had hoped.

The business failed to grow because the business failed to set the correct goal, which for every business is simple. Make more money! Is not that the reasoning for the new product, the new public relations campaign, the new focus on customer service? Like the individual trying to lose five pounds rather than living healthier, they resolved to accomplish a process not a goal. By focusing your business on the proper goal, the processes helping you reach that goal, the new product, the PR campaign, the new focus on customer service become purposeful actions toward a grander goal rather than a means with no focus of the true end.

So this year, after your done stuffing those leftovers into that belly you swear you are going to lose this year, make a goal of growth for your business to help you and your employees gain focus and you will be halfway to a successful and profitable business year.
