COMMUNITY

Spotlight

n high school, Julia Heckathorn discovered her gift for writing and drawing and decided on a career that would involve writing and illustrating children’s books. She also developed a passion for animals and the environment, specifically the extinction of animals as a result of their environments being destroyed throughout the world. The combination of these passions and talents culminated in the creation of Search for the Hidden Clover, a series of fun, interactive, and educational children’s books. In each story, which is written in rhyme to encourage young readers, a boy, a girl, and a kangaroo named Boomeroo take children on an adventure throughout different regions of the world while searching for the elusive 4 leaf clover. Throughout their journey, they meet animals from that region who help them along the way. The readers join the characters by playing games, learning facts about animals and the environment, and searching for hidden objects in the books. Heckathorn’s goal is “to motivate the next generation to read, as well as fall in love with nature, so that ultimately, they would have a desire to care for the natural world as they grow up.” To build on the educational aspect to the books, Heckathorn also makes visits to schools while bringing along an exotic animal as a exciting feature. This year, Daisy the two toed Sloth joins Heckathorn as she teaches the children about Costa Rica and the animals who live there. Even though her organization is based in Nokesville, she has traveled all throughout the United States and even Peru and Panama to spread the message to children, as well as local elementary schools and festivals in Northern Virginia. Heckathorn’s personal perspective from her travels to these lands is inspiring and exciting for kids and adults. The interactive element of the visits encourage children to play along with the games while learning 6

in a creative and fun way. And the most exciting part, which is sure to pique the interest of children and adults alike, comes when Heckathorn introduces a character from one of her stories to give children a once-ina-lifetime opportunity to meet a real animal. All of her educational animals are rare exotics, “shocking children into the joy that nature can bring, and giving them memories to last a lifetime.” Heckathorn doesn’t just stop there with her efforts to help animals. She also uses proceeds from her book sales and author visits for conservation work in Panama to save Pygmy Sloths that are critically endangered along 8

with their habitats. Pygmy Sloths, the smallest of the species, live only in Panama. Heckathorn says “they will be extinct within this decade unless action is taken.” Because their habitat is threatened by fishermen who use the wood for shelter and cooking, Heckathorn and her husband travel to Panama to help educate the people about conserving the land, the animals that live there, and how to care for the land as well as provide classroom education for the children. The Heckathorns were even asked to start a church on the island which has grown as the people have come to “trust and love us as they now work alongside us” as they have learned the

importance of preserving the health of the land for the animals. Heckathorn says: “Everything that I do, from writing my children’s books, to conserving the environment, to visiting schools with exotic animals, is to teach the next generation to love and care for the environment as I demonstrate real-world applicability.” To educate and raise awareness, the Pygmy Sloths are featured in the newest book in the series: Hidden Clover: Escudo Island. But there are many other animals and habitats featured in the series, including Kangaroo Island, Redwood Forest, Costa Rica, and Tasmania. Each book, produced in large sized hardback and featuring vivid illustrations, is signed by the author. These unique books take children on a journey that is sure to inspire them to learn more about new and exciting parts of the world. Families in Northern Virginia are fortunate to have such a passionate and motivational organization right here in our area led by someone who is determined to change our world for the better. To contact Julia Heckathorn about the books or scheduling an author visit, send an email to info@searchforthehiddenclover. com. Books can be ordered from searchforthehiddenclover.com.

BUSINESS

Fun

For those living in and around Haymarket, attending local events such Haymarket Day and Oktoberfest, have become highlights for family fun throughout the year. Now, an exciting new company called CrazyHappy Events & Promotions is bringing even more events for families to gather together to make memories. Director of Events Kim Kennedy Ingalls is so excited for this new venture that she says “has given us more opportunity to expand events in our region and beyond and truly fulfill our vision of a business friendly, united community while helping those in need.” Over the past four years, a group of local businesses, directed by Ingalls, joined together as the Spend the Day in Haymarket organization to raise awareness and create more participation in local events in the small town of Haymarket while also raising funds for families in need and local charitable organizations. Because of their success, this new venture, CrazyHappy Events and Promotions, independent of Spend the Day in Haymarket and not affiliated with the Town of Haymarket, was created to expand on that concept while also branching out to more regional and national businesses.

Crazy Happy Events

Ingalls says “at the heart of our growth is CrazyHappy’s desire and Corporate Charter to advance local business and the sense of community, and to raise needed funds for charitable organizations.” These organizations include the Haymarket Food Pantry, Rainbow Equestrian Center and its initiatives for Children with Disabilities, and Wounded Warriors - in addition to helping to raise donations for families in need around our area. The goal of CrazyHappy Events is to use the next four years to at least double the over $100,000 that was raised in the last four years by Spend the Day in Haymarket. For years, local businesses have

been requesting an expansion of the company to host their corporate events, off-site business meetings, and business initiatives. And now these businesses are joining in excitedly. The Fauquier Bank, which has been a long-time sponsor, continues to show its strong community values and commitment to its customers by continuing their prestigious Title Sponsorship and hosting many of the community events. There has been an “overwhelming level of support” from local residents, businesses, and the entire community to expand and add more family-friendly, fun-filled events. This summer, Fridays and Saturday nights might never be the same because

History

Grinding the grain, sawing the timber Water-powered mills played a significant role in our history In the early days, the chief industries in western Prince William County were agriculture and the businesses that supported farming. Chief among those enterprises were water-powered gristmills. Two streams in the region, Broad Run and Catharpin Run, provided the waterpower to drive the gears that turned the stones that ground the grain. In 1975, E. Ren Conner III of Catharpin published Water Milling on Catharpin Run, Prince William County, Virginia, and the following year compiled “ A Partial List of Water Powered Mills in Prince William County, Arranged in Upstream Order in the Respective Streams.” These documents provide the definitive history of the water-powered gristmills in our area. “Where mills arose, there also arose stores, taverns, smithies, wheelwright shops, the necessary elements of an early rural commerce,” wrote Mr. Conner. “The presence of mills attracted more and more settlers to the back country.” Mills ground a variety of grains, as well as plaster, which was used as fertilizer. Later, equipment was designed to use waterpower to drive mechanical saws, for cutting the timber used in houses and barns. Gristmills fell into three categories. The largest were the “merchant gristmills,” where the operators bought wheat from area farmers, and had the equipment to produce white flour, which was sold regionally or exported. Other products included cornmeal and livestock feed. 14

by John Toler

The smaller “custom gristmills” ground local grains, including buhr flour, whole wheat and graham flour. Payment for grinding a farmer’s grain was a portion of the finished product, usually one-sixth, which the miller retained and sold. “Plantation mills” were the smallest operations, processing the grains grown on the farm of a large landowner who had access to waterpower. Agreements were often made so that owners of nearby plantations could bring their grain to a neighbor’s mill to be ground as well. The number of water-powered mills in western Prince William peaked just before the Civil War. SUDLEY MILL The first mill in the Bull Run watershed was built on Bull Run by Landon Carter of Sabine Hall (17101778), and run by his son John Carter (1739-1789) of Sudley in the years before the Revolutionary War. The mill was originally located on the Loudoun side of Bull Run, before the county boundaries were adjusted. About 1800, the operation was moved to Catharpin Run, and operated by John’s son, Landon Carter (1770-1858) of Woodland, Loudoun County. A large merchant flourmill, it also had a vertical, water-powered sawmill. The millrace was about a mile long, and the equipment powered by an overshot wheel. “In ante-bellum days, ox-carts, great Conestoga wagons with their six-horse teams, and men on horseback with sacks

Lloyd Information Center (RELIC). of grain swinging behind them, would be lined along the road awaiting their turn,” according to Prince William, the Story of Its Places and Its People (1941). Sudley Mill left the Carter family in 1859, when George Carter conveyed the property to Robert C. Weir. There was a succession of owners until 1875, when Andrew B. Fetzer, who had come to Prince William County from Pennsylvania, acquired the mill. Finding it had been badly damaged during the Civil War, he had it torn down and a new mill built on the site. Fetzer added a steam-powered sawmill, and his family would operate Sudley Mill for the next 30 years. Laws Spencer bought the business at auction in 1904, and shut down the milling operation in 1910. He continued to live on the property, which was tied up in court from 1925 until 1935. Finally, David H. Herndon confirmed ownership, and the mill was torn down in 1936. In his oral history of Sudley Mill, Mr. Conner recorded the recollections of James D. Harrover: “When Dave Herndon tore the mill down, he pushed a lot of junk farm machinery and the sawmill engine, too, into the mill race, Haymarket Lifestyle

The Mill Park Mill was built in 1868 by Hermann Hagedorn for Christian Heineken, who had acquired the property from George Gray Tyler. Shown at the mill about 1890 are members of the Heineken family. and covered it up with earth… all that machinery is still there now.” In addition to the Sudley Mill, during the 19th century, there were eight other gristmills on Catharpin Run, including some with attached sawmills, including: Waterfall Mills in the village of Waterfall included two gristmills and a sawmill built by John Brown in 1798. The mills were sold to Benjamin Dean in 1811, and to William Herbert Jr. in 1818. By 1849, the property was owned by Enoch Foley, and later by William E. Foley. Milling operations ceased sometime before 1900, and the last building in the complex, a three-story structure, was torn down in 1915 (See Haymarket Lifestyle, May 2011). Page’s Mill, located below the confluence with Little Bull Run, was built sometime before 1800 for Mann Page’s Pageland Plantation. It was transferred that year to Gwyn Page, and to Bernard Hooe Sr. in 1810. It was closed after the Civil War, and later demolished. Jackson’s Mill was a small custom gristmill built between 1790 and 1800 in Jackson Hollow, far upstream on Catharpin Run. It closed around 1900. Mr. Conner notes “Difficulty of access would have precluded patronage from the area beyond Jackson Hollow.” The lake for the Jackson Hollow Recreation Club was later built on the site (See Haymarket Lifestyle, January 2013). Graham’s Mill was also built in the early 1800s near the source of Catharpin Run, or possibly on Little Bull Run. 16

Other than mentions in county records, little else is known about Graham’s Mill. Hunton’s Mill was built about 1818 by Charles Hunton on land he purchased from Richard Alexander, who had an earlier mill on the property. It was a custom gristmill with an attached sawmill, located on Catharpin Run one-half mile west of the Carolina Road. Robert Brooke, Charles Hunton, Israel Thompson William, Waller, John Dodd and Herman Hagedorn later owned it. Known by then as Dodd’s Mill, it closed in the early 1890s, when the operation was moved to Waverley Mill (see below). Tyler’s Mill was a plantation mill built prior to 1815 by Charles Tyler. It was located upstream from Hunton’s Mill, at the southwest corner of the plantation. A small mill, it likely ceased operation by 1840, but remained standing. In 1866, Christian Heineken (18431917) purchased the Tyler property. Hermann C. Hagedorn was hired in 1868 to build a new mill on the site, which he ran in partnership with Mr. Heineken until 1873. Mr. Heineken renamed his property Mill Park, and started a successful winemaking business. He died in 1917, and by then, the mill was gone. Bradshaw’s Mill was located in Bridgetown, upstream from Waterfall. It was a custom gristmill operated in the late 1800s by a member of the Bradshaw family, likely Lewis Bradshaw, and later, by Jim Buck Ashby. In its final years, the mill was converted to gasoline power. A

legal distillery was also located on the property. Waverley Mill, built in 1893 by Eli H. Janney (1831-1912), was a merchant flour mill located west of the U.S. 15 bridge, about three miles north of Haymarket. The property had a succession of owners from 1906 until 1926, when brothers W. R. “Will” and G.A. “Allie” Gossom acquired it. In 1932, James R. Gossom was the full-time miller. The operation closed in 1935. There were 15 mills on Broad Run between Thoroughfare Gap and the Bristow area. Chapman’s first mill was built by Jonathan Chapman in Thoroughfare Gap in the years before 1742, and burned around 1755. It was mainly used to grind buhr flour. There was no dam, so apparently the flow of Broad Run was sufficient to power the mill. “The tail race of this first mill may have been used as the head race of the second mill,” according to Lee Moffett in Water Powered Mills of Fauquier County. The original part of Chapman’s second mill (later known as the Chapman-Beverley Mill) was also built before 1742, and was used to grind corn. It burned twice during the 19th century, and was rebuilt in its final, massive form in 1858. The mill figured prominently in the Civil War (See Haymarket Lifestyle, April 2012 and feature story in this issue), during which time it was used as a Confederate meat storage facility and scene of the Battle of Thoroughfare Gap in August 1862. The mill was sold to Robert Beverley in 1870, and in 1896 it was acquired by

The massive stone Chapman-Beverley Mill was built in 1858, replacing a mill on Broad Run that dated back to 1742. Under different ownerships, it was still in the flour-milling business until 1950. Tragically, the historic structure and the vintage milling equipment inside it were burned in 1998.

Located on Broad Run downstream from Buckland, Kinsley Mill dated from the late 18th century, replacing an earlier mill built by John and Charles Love in 1794. The mill was dismantled when Broad Run was dammed to create Lake Manassas, and in 1996, the stone granary attached to it was moved to Pilgrims Rest near Nokesville. Courtesy of RELIC.

After Mr. Furr’s death in 1939, the mill was acquired by James Newton Furr and William N. “Billy” Wilbur (19132010), who sold the property to Walter P. Chrysler in 1945. Milling operations ceased in 1950. Samuel Love’s Mill, a custom gristmill, was built at Buckland sometime before 1785. Kinsley Mill, just downstream from Buckland, was built by Charles and John Love in 1794. A second mill with a granary was built on the site in the 1800s. The mill was closed in the 1900s, and dismantled when Broad Run was dammed, creating Lake Manassas. John Love’s Mill, upstream from Buckland, was a merchant flourmill built shortly after 1798. Langyher’s first mill was built by Jacob Langyher before 1800 on Broad Run, west of Linton’s Ford. Langyher’s second mill at the Crooked Shoal of Broad Run, east of Devlin’s Grove, was built in 1812. It was a custom gristmill, and was remodeled in 1910 by Mrs. C.W. Langyher. The mill closed in later years, and was destroyed in a storm in 1972. Edward Carter’s Mill, downstream from Chapman-Beverley Mill, was a plantation mill built around 1800 to serve Cloverland. Family legend says that Edward Carter was killed when he fell into the millrace. Ellis Mill, also known as Tyler’s Mill, was a custom gristmill built sometime before 1820 on Broad Run, at present-day Glenkirk Road. It closed in the early 1900s. Milford Mill, also known as Ewell’s Mill, was a merchant flourmill built by Henry Peyton before 1781 on Broad Run, near present-day Rt. 28 south of Manassas. Subsequent owners were Charles Ewell (1760-1830) and William J. Weir. The mill was destroyed during the Civil War, and in 1866, the mill site and 30 acres were sold to John Hornbaker. By 1870, Milford Mill was back in business. Ownership passed to

Hornbaker’s son-in-law, C. J. Meetze in 1909. It was acquired by Walter C. Aylor in 1919, and by Bolling Lynn Robertson in 1925. The property was sold at public auction to T. R. and Elmer P. Hurst in 1936. “With the purchase by the Hurst family, the Milford Mill property was turned into a farm and the mill was allowed to deteriorate,” according to Charlotte Cain, in “Milford Mill – The Lost Landmark,” Vol. 4, No. 3 of the Prince William Reliquary. “Shortly after 1960, the mill was disassembled and its boards used by Mr. Hurst to build a barn and for other needed repairs. By 1981, only the foundation of the original mill could be seen, and even that has now disappeared.” Hunter’s Mill was built in the 19th century on Broad Run between Buckland and Ellis Ford; the exact dates and location are unknown. Buckland Woolen Mills was built upstream from Buckland in 1835. Woolen textiles were manufactured at the mill, using wool brought in by local farmers, and dyed with sumac and walnut hulls. It was remodeled after the Civil War, and closed in the 1890s. Beverley Heth’s Mill, likely a plantation mill, was located on Broad Run between Cloverland and Thoroughfare Gap. The land upon which it was built was condemned for a mill in 1835; little else is known. Buckland Mill was a large merchant flourmill using a turbine wheel. It was built in 1899 on the foundation of an earlier mill, using timbers from the old woolen mill and the existing millrace. Bodine’s Mill, or Clyde Mill, was a merchant mill located on Broad Run below the mouth of Rocky Branch. It was built in the 19th century, and was remodeled in 1911 by John Hall. It was remodeled again in the 1920s by Roy Lunsford, and closed in the 1930s. EVOLUTION OF THE MILLING BUSINESS A notable change in the flour milling process was the replacement of grindstones with rollers, which were introduced in 1870. “With a roller mill, it was possible to crush the flour between iron bars, bolt it through a silk screen, and grade, cool and bag it with other machines,” according to Mr. Conner. “Between 1870 and 1900, most progressive flour mills in Virginia adopted the roller process, and when Sudley Mill Haymarket Lifestyle

Milford Mill and Beverley Mill were the last survivors on Broad Run. Milford Mill was another victim of the Great Depression, and was gone by 1960; Beverley Mill soldiered on until the early 1950s, before forced to shut down due to more stringent enforcement of sanitation requirements. Unused for nearly 50 years but still full of vintage milling equipment and artifacts, Beverley Mill was destroyed by arsonists in October 1998. Today, it stands as an historic ruin. Acquired after the fire by the Turn the Mill Around Foundation, the walls of the mill have been stabilized, and the area around it will be developed as an historic area. Small, gasoline-powered mills were replaced by large commercial milling operations, often run as farmers’ cooperatives, which continue today in rural parts of Virginia.

GAINESVILLE

Upcoming performance celebrates Carmina Burana

Chances are, a lot of people have heard the music from Carmina Burana, but just didn’t know it by name. The well-known “O Fortuna” is powerful and haunting, capturing the listener’s attention from the first note. According to Wikipedia, the song is one of “the most overused piece of music in film history” but its popularization may have watered down the meaning of its message. The Gainesville Ballet’s celebratory performance of Carmina Burana may change that perception and give it a new appreciation. The cantata, composed by Carl Orff in the 1930s, is based on a collection of medieval poems with the theme of fate and fortune. Although the performance celebrates the 10-year anniversary of the Gainesville Ballet’s opening, Rafik Hegab and Elysabeth Muscat have owned the business for 2 years. Muscat, with a lifelong passion for arts and music as a performer, teacher, and administrator, and her husband Hegab, an experienced international dancer and choreographer, set out to buy a dance studio and transform it into their dream. And their dreams are coming true. The Gainesville Ballet, a blend of Hegab and Muscat’s talents and passions, allows clients to train in the studio whether that be music lessons; young children’s dance lessons; modern, jazz, hip hop, character, or lyrical classes; adult ballet; pre-professional ballet classes; 22

and special needs classes for children ages 4 through 8. “We have an excellent company of international resident professional dancers (making their debut with Carmina Burana); our Junior Company gets professional performance experience in the productions; and the whole school participates in the annual Nutcracker and School Spring Recital, all at the Hylton Performing

Arts Center, so everyone has the opportunity to shine,” says Muscat. And because audiences don’t have to travel into Washington, D.C. and pay expensive prices for performances, families can enjoy world class dancing right here in our area. Muscat truly believes that by bringing together education and performance experience, it “improves the cultural life of the community and contributes to the vibrancy of the Gainesville and Haymarket area and Prince William County.” Carmina Burana is the perfect music for a celebratory performance because of its both classical and modern traits. This performance will be the first time Hegab’s brand new choreography, which leans more towards the contemporary, will be presented to the public. Hegab says, “The very famous music of Carmina Burana is iconic and powerful, with driving rhythms and varied moods, all centered around the theme of fate, which inspired me to choreograph to this work.” While Hegab has choreographed contemporary pieces for other companies, this will be his first contemporary piece for the Gainesville Ballet. This music lends itself to his style beautifully. The addition of a professional ballet company has brought world class dancers to the studio, including Daniil Simkin, a principal dancer from the American Ballet Theatre in NY, and Ashley Bouder, a principal dancer from the New York City Ballet who will be featured in this performance. Their recent Nutcracker performance featured guest dancers Teresa Reichlen and Ask la Cour who are also stars of the New York City Ballet. The resident company is comprised of talented and experienced dancers, including Shady Aly Mohamed, Alexandru Glusacov, Stephanie Parkinson, Tiffani Thomas, Mallory Miller, and Onica Hobbs who has lived in Gainesville for the past 5 years. A graduate of Virginia Technical Institute, Onica is also a teacher, choreographer, wife, and mother of two. They will be joined by two dancers from the Cairo Opera Ballet for Carmina Burana: Aly Mahmoud, who was recently in the top ten of So You Think You Can Dance Middle East and Russian Ballerina Kateryna 24

Zaberezhna. This performance is not one to be missed. There are few other professions where passion for the art can so obviously be witnessed. It can best be described by Hobbs, who says: “Dancing centers me. It always has. It brings me a sense of peace, strength, grace, and control. As I move, it feels as though my body is breathing the music. The only other place that I have

been able to find that that kind of joy is with my children.” The performance is Friday, March 20 at 7 pm at Merchant Hall at the Hylton Performing Arts Center at 10960 George Mason Circle in Manassas. For tickets, go to tickets.com or contact the Hylton Box office at 888-945-2468. To learn more about Gainesville Ballet, go to gainsvilleballetcompany.org or call 703-753-5005.

The Festival of Spring at

BURNSIDE FARMS The Festival of Spring at Burnside Farms has quickly become a destination for visitors near and far from Haymarket. The field is a hit with families who often visit multiple times to see the different flowers blooming in a display that lights up Route 15. This year, the festival will open at a new larger location on the corner of Logmill Road and Route 15. Leslie and Michael Dawley, mother and son owners of Burnside Farms, say “if you’re traveling south on Route 15, the red light at Logmill Road will probably be the prettiest red light in the world.” Michael and Leslie Dawley have been on the search for more land to grow their spring and summer festivals as the events have gained popularity each year. Also, they planned on expanding the events by adding vendors, a picnic area, and perhaps some entertainment. The new location allows for them to achieve these goals and more. There will be 5 acres of spring flowers, more than 5 acres of sunflowers and more space for all the things they plan to add in the coming years. The entertainment and vendors are not a definite yet this year but will be a goal for the future. The previous location on Route 15 did have some great views but the views at the new location are “spectacular,” Michael says. “The farm looks up to the majestic Bull Run Mountain and the gentle rolling flower fields will offer photo opportunities that will be out of

this world.” Leslie and Michael worked many long hours throughout the winter planting over 650,000 bulbs, which they say is “more than at any other pick-yourown flower event on the continent.” The festival runs for around 3 months where visitors can peruse the fields and pick blooms to brighten their homes. Michael says when the fields are completely in bloom, it is “truly a sight to behold. Each group of flowers comes in so many sizes, shapes and colors and to see them all blooming together truly is an indescribable experience.” The festival will begin in late March with daffodils in shades of yellow, orange, pink, and white. Early to mid-April, the 350,000 tulips begin to bloom in a rainbow of colors and more than 200 varieties. Dutch Irises are next to bloom in mid-May with 150,000 blooms in 20 varieties of blue, purple, yellow, and white. Leslie and Michael Dawley invite families from all around to visit this spring for a picnic lunch, afternoon stroll or weekend family outing. The original location will still be open for fall and winter but this spring and summer, visitors should plan to visit Burnside Farms at 2617 B Logmill Road in Haymarket. Since the blooms and the festival’s activities are dependent on the weather, updates will be listed on burnsidefarms.com and facebook. com/burnsidefarms. Visitors should be sure to check these pages for dates and times as well as field reports before planning a trip.

NEW

ORGANIC WASTE

PROCESSING FACILITY

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors authorized an agreement with Freestate Farms LLC, a local agricultural services and production company, to construct and operate a new facility to process yard waste, food scraps and wood waste at the County’s Balls Ford Road composting facility, and to provide organics waste management services at that site and at the County’s landfill. When fully developed, the Freestate facility will recycle over 80,000 tons per year of organic waste into high-value compost, soil products, and non-synthetic fertilizers; it will also generate baseload renewable energy and environmental attributes; and it will produce sustainable and locally-grown fresh fruits and vegetables for sale back into the community. After completion of the new facility, scheduled for July 2017, Freestate, in conjunction with its technology partners, will perform several new operations and double the throughput capacity of the current Balls Ford Road facility. New processes/operations include: • Advanced Aerobic Composting of Yard Waste – A reversing aerated static pile composting system will process leaves, grass, and agricultural waste to produce high-quality nutrient-rich compost products. Process odors will be captured and scrubbed through biofilters. • Anaerobic Digestion of Food Waste – A fully enclosed and airtight tank reactor will process food waste and other organic material (e.g., fats, oil and grease) into both high-quality nutrient rich fertilizer products and biogas (methane) for use in renewable energy applications. • Combined Heat and Power Production – Raw biogas produced during the anaerobic digestion process will fuel a combined heat and power generator set to provide heat and power to the Balls Ford Road facility, with surplus renewable

energy available for off-site uses, potentially including transportation fuel. Greenhouse Operation - Freestate will construct and operate an integrated commercial-scale controlled environment agriculture greenhouse at the Balls Ford Road site to sustainably grow fresh local produce using the renewable energy, compost, and fertilizer products generated on-site.

The state-of-the art Freestate facility will provide several benefits to the County: • A long-term solution to yard and food waste management • Foundation for developing a comprehensive County organic waste management program • Increased organics processing capacity • Waste diversion from landfill to extend landfill life (based upon the most recent County waste audit, approximately 30% of the waste entering the landfill is organic material that could be recycled) • Increased County recycling rate • Private investment in our community and 2025 new jobs Under the approved agreement, Freestate will process the organic material currently received at the Balls Ford Road and landfill facilities using existing processes beginning on July 1, 2015. Importantly, there will be no interruption in current services because construction of the new March 2015

HGBA Member Spotlight Denise Hall Guides Main Street In January 2015, The Town of Haymarket created a new employment position, “Main Street Coordinator”. The objective of this position is to facilitate the creation of an inviting and historic Town to the residents, businesses and visitors which serves as the center of economic, cultural, and social activity in the Town of Haymarket and western Prince William County. The long term goal of the position is to have the Town become a nationally recognized Main Street Community and/or a Certified Local Government through the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. The position will be a direct link between the business community and the Town Council and the government as a whole. The Town welcomes Ms. Denise Hall as the first Main Street Coordinator! Denise has been with the Town since August 2012, serving as an administrative assistant and Museum Director. She will still serve as the Town’s Museum Director, but will also tackle this new role. The top priority for the position will be to build relationships with the business community, hearing their concerns and suggestions, implementing and/or revising policies all trying to foster a stronger economy in Haymarket. In addition, the position will plan promotional events within the Town. In 2015, the Town will host Earth Day on April 11th, Health & Fitness Day on June 27th, our signature event Haymarket Day on September 19th, and wrapping up the year 34

with a Holiday Celebration on December 5th. Currently, you will see Denise around Haymarket reaching out to the businesses in an effort to improve communications from the Town government. Denise will also work closely with other members of Town staff to address concerns and suggestions received from the community in each employee’s respective capacities with the Town. As the Town of Haymarket moves forward with the completion of several projects such as the Washington Street Enhancement Project, the development of the Town Center Master Plan (current location of Town Hall), and Harrover properties (5 acres on the east end, owned by the Town) the Town Council pledges its commitment and dedication to keeping, “Haymarket…everyone’s hometown…” The Town of Haymarket offices are located at 15000 Washington Street, Suite 100.

Business Name: Re/Max Gateway HGBA Member Name(s): Susan Jacobs HGBA Member since: 2011 Address: 7521 Virginia Oaks Dr # 100 Gainesville VA 20155 Phone: 703-347-4418 Email: home4sale@mris.com Web: www.PrinceWilliamExpert.com Susan Jacobs got her start in real estate 26 years ago after she and her husband sold their Deli in Manassas. She joined Re/ Max Gateway because the broker/owner is very forward thinking and involved in the community. Together their mission is to bring buyers and sellers together in the Haymarket-Gainesville community. Susan still gets a charge out of her work. “I really enjoy getting the first time home-buyer into their house.” When asked about a business experience she would do differently, Susan relates to a time when she left a buyer alone with a seller so she could go measure windows. Things didn’t work out so well. Here is Susan’s top three business tips for other businesses and professionals: 1. Get involved with the community 2. Educate the community on what it is that you do. 3. Bigger is not always better. Jacobs has been involved with HGBA since 2011 and has served on the board as the membership director for the last two years. Membership is as strong as ever under her leadership. She cites the primary benefit of being an HGBA member as “the ability to connect with people in the area.” On a personal note, Susan would love to live on a cruise ship with her husband. Of course, she hopes that her husband would win the lottery (not herself?) and take her. She already has all the fame she needs as a premier real estate agent in the area. And, her favorite take out food is simple: lettuce wraps.

BATTLEFIELD

ROBOTICS On February 7, Battlefield High School hosted a STEM Expo where families were invited to see what kinds of new technologies are being taught as part of the school’s Robotics portion of the Information Technology and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Program. The room was abuzz with ideas, creativity, and excitement. Visitors couldn’t help but feel fortunate that the teens of Haymarket attend a high school where technology, robotics, and cutting edge 3-D printing are what’s “on trend” these days. Gail Drake, professor, head coach, and “the one who runs things around here” says the IT and STEM program at Battlefield is highly unusual. Drake and the members of the team hosted the STEM Expo as a sort of test run to determine if the community would support the school’s initiatives. The community responded with a resounding YES. Parents, families, and children milled around the room checking out the tables with engineering and technology based activities and interacting with the robots, including one that was throwing and catching huge playground balls. After the hands-on activities, “Slingshot” - a documentary film about an invention that can create clean drinking water from any liquid - was shown to attendees. The movie served to inspire the audience about how years of dedication created an invention that was distributed to villages for people who do not have clean drinking water. But back in the technology wing, there is even more to see. FIRST 36

Haymarket Lifestyle

Team 1885, also called ILITE Robotics, is busy working on their robot - who has yet to be named - for the 2015 FIRST Robotics Competition. FIRST, which stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, is a non-profit founded in 1989 with the mission of transforming “our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology leaders.” The annual robotics competition is designed to get students as close to real-world engineering as they can by working as a team to create and program robots who must perform a given task against competitors. The game this year is called Recycle Rush. The robots built by each team will earn points by stacking plastic totes onto scoring platforms, then lifting a recycling container on top and placing pool noodles into the container. The team has 6 weeks to design their robot and build it following a set of rules given to each team. ILITE makes many of their own parts using a CNC mill - which is a computer-aided rotary machine that was designed and built by the team. Teams register in the fall but are not introduced to the challenge until January. Then the 6 weeks begins. In mid-February, a deadline is given and teams must stop building and pack up their robot to be shipped to the competition. The FIRST Championship this year is held April 22 to 25 in St. Louis. Visitors entering the “think tank” room can see that the room is designed to an atmosphere for creativity, sharing ideas, and working together. Members of the ILITE Robotics Team fit into all different categories. There are mentors with extensive professional experience in technology and engineering fields, alumni mentors, and students who are on teams focused on business, building, electronics, or programming. Back in the build area, students using their CNC mill to cut metal instead of handcutting it for pieces of the robot, which only gives the team that much more of a competitive edge. On the day of the expo, 5 students were busy working on the mechanism part of the robot that will lift the bins during the Recycle Rush game. Stephen Hill, Noah Lechner, Monica Karas, and Sara Roselius, as well as their nicknamed “Battery Boy” Nicholas Lechner and mentor Larry Laverty, are eager to show visitors around and explain the concept for the newest robot. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for technology is immediately evident as they talk out together how to continue the build and improve the design. The pressure is on for FIRST 1885 to place in the top at the FIRST Championship. Around 55 students and mentors will be traveling to the event and the costs for the teams to compete in these competitions are steep. To raise funds, ILITE Robotics is offering Green e-watt saver lightbulbs available for purchase with the proceeds going to the Robotics team. These bulbs are environmentally friendly, energy efficient, and last over 33 times longer than the average bulb. To learn more or to purchase a case of 40 lightbulbs, go to iliterobotics.org/ewatt. People interested in contributing can make a donation to the school to assist the team in travel costs. Organizations can also become a sponsor. Any help with this important initiative can contribute to our young teens growing in their technology interests and pursuing successful careers. Go to iliterobotics. org to learn more about getting involved or contact Gail Drake at drakegd@pwcs.edu or by calling 571-261-4726. March 2015

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 March 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.

Kathy Knight, owner of Vintage Hill, dreamed of being a store owner ever since childhood, when she spent time in her grandfather’s plumbing and hardware store in Pennsylvania, At home, she would “hang upside down on the couch and imagine new ways to decorate each room in the house.” Her imagination turned into a furniture painting hobby that began to Haymarket Lifestyle

accumulate treasures in her garage. Living in Vint Hill for 10 years now, she developed a love for the historic buildings and barns on the property. Her dream of owning a store, still in the back of her mind, began to take shape as she saw new businesses beginning to grow at Vint Hill. She says “with the help and support of the owners at Vint Hill,” she was able to make that dream a reality and Vintage Hill was born. Knight wanted the store to be a “space that would showcase art, antiques, furniture, and home decor items.” She considers herself very fortunate to be able to bring together “a group of unique and creative craftspeople” who share her love of vintage goods. Knight opened the store in early November and has quickly seen it grow into a place where visitors come back again and again to see new items brought in for sale. Vintage Hill makes its home inside two conjoined buildings across from the Covert Cafe, built by the Army in 1942 for storage to support the

listening facilities in the Barns nearby. The second part of the building was once converted into a “Man Cave” where officers and their guests could be seen relaxing and socializing while playing at the pool tables. Knowing a little bit about the past uses of these historic buildings only add to the charm of the location. This new store comes at a perfect time for decorators in the area. It’s a new era of out with the new; in with the old. The trend these days for furniture design means that the older the piece, the better. Furniture pieces with character are often brought to life with a coat of chalk or milk paint. Out here in Haymarket, with such close proximity to historic towns such as Middleburg, Leesburg, and Warrenton, it makes sense for home design to take a historic approach. Pieces available at Vintage Hill are sure to be showpieces in homes near and far. In addition to furniture, many other handcrafted decor pieces are displayed around the store. Visitors may find wall art made from old window panes or pillows, lamps, and vases that are unlike what could be

found in department stores. Picture frames, wreaths made from wine corks, jewelry, vintage mirrors and art, china sets, and handpainted signs adorn the many areas to peruse. The store captures visitors from the moment they open the door to enter, with its rustic charm and hidden treasures that can be discovered throughout the store. Knight says: “Just as every item has a different story, I hope that every visit to Vintage Hill gives customers an opportunity to explore the past, to share stories, to find new ideas and to love where you live.” Vintage Hill is located on Lineweaver Road across from the Covert Cafe, which is at 7168 Lineweaver Road. The store is open every Friday from 12 to 6 pm, Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm, and Sundays from 10 am to 6 pm. Find Vintage Hill on Facebook or go to vintage-hill.com to see pictures of some of the inventory in the store. Kathy can be contacted at kat@vintage-hill.com or by calling 571-242-1119.

A Sedentary Lifestyle Kills Sitting too long linked to chronic disease

Might want to sit down for this – or better yet, don’t. A new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that too much sitting for prolonged periods of time is a killer, even if you exercise regularly. In a comprehensive review of 47 studies, the new research reports that those who sit for 8-9 hours of the day were at greater risk of developing heart disease, diabetes and cancer. The effect was even greater in people who didn’t exercise at all. By sitting for extended periods of time, people raised their risk of diabetes by 91 percent, cardiovascular disease by 14 percent and cancer by 13 percent, the Canadian research team found. Sedentary people who exercised a half hour daily had a 16 percent higher risk of early death than people who do not sit for long. However, they still fared better than those who did no exercise at all – a group with a significantly increased risk of early death at 40 percent, according to the research. “It makes sense,” said Dr. Scott Ross, a family care practitioner at Novant Health Bull Run Family Medicine in Bristow, Virginia. “People who are not exercising are at increased risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease as a consequence of being overweight.” Researchers defined prolonged sitting in the studies reviewed as ranging from 8-12 hours a day or more. Sedentary activities such as using a computer, watching TV or driving should not comprise more than 4-5 hours a day, according to the findings. “It confirms what we’ve been hearing for years,” Ross said. “Increased cardiovascular activity is important for overall health and helps mitigate an unhealthy diet and bad

habits like smoking.” The report comes on the heels of another recently released study from the University of Cambridge showing that lack of activity could be killing twice as many people as obesity. About 76,000 deaths each year in Europe were due to inactivity; this compared to 337,000 deaths caused by obesity. So what do you do if your job keeps you seated for far longer than advisable? “Try to stand as much as possible,” Ross advised. “It’s a balance for people whose jobs require them to be at a desk.” Ross suggests parking further away from your office, taking the

stairs and doing more exercise in your private time. Here are some more tips: Get up from your desk every half hour for a few minutes to stand or walk around when you’re working. Try watching TV while standing or exercising. Even if you watch while seated, get up during commercial breaks. Try to reduce sedentary time by a few minutes each day. The researchers advised aiming for 2-3 hours less of time spent sitting in a 12-hour day. Keep exercising regardless of how you spend the rest of the day. Any time spent exercising is still time not spent sitting.

The village of Montefollonico, Italy

COOK

uscany T IN

George and Linda Meyers George and Linda Meyers, high school sweethearts, spent their summers traveling the world as tourists but with a desire to be one of the locals. One trip to Italy led them to Montefollonico where they fell in love with this charming village and made a home there. Although they spend their winters in Haymarket, the rest of the year they are in Montefollonico hosting people looking to learn local culture and cooking with their Cook in Tuscany program. Cook in Tuscany gives visitors the opportunity to cook, eat, and play in the medieval village of Montefollonico which is off the beaten path in “splendid isolation.” The village is a hidden, charming place surrounded by rolling hills with narrow winding streets and an unforgettable view of Tuscany. The Meyers say the culture, lifestyle, and 48

kind and welcoming people were what inspired them to travel to the village year after year. “The village is quiet but alive with energy” and “feels like stepping back in time,” they say. After a few trips, the Meyers were eager to share their experience with others which eventually turned into meeting friends at the village to show them around. The Cook in Tuscany program was born and the Meyers have been treating guests to week-long visits in their village ever since. The women of the village, masters of the art of cooking, teach participants to cook in the same kitchens they were taught by their “Nonnas” or grandmothers. The Meyers say this is a

“magical” experience and the women will “endear you with their skills and laughter in the kitchen.” Then, the real magic begins when the meals are enjoyed on the patio or in the gardens complete with flowing bottles of wine. Homemade gnocchi, bruschetta, ribbons of handmade eggless pasta, which is original to Montefollonico, will be enjoyed along with many other Italian classics. In the village, lunches last much longer than the normal rush of life. Meals are enjoyed as a celebration along with conversation with friends. “This simple idea of slowing down and taking the time to enjoy your meal and the people you are eating it with” was the idea that spurned into the Cook in Tuscany Haymarket Lifestyle

program. Each night, visitors travel to nearby villages to dine at renowned restaurants for dinner. But it’s not all about the food and wine - there are also trips to other local villages, shopping at the markets, visiting wineries, and touring historic sights as well. The entire experience is designed to make guests feel like they belong there, rather than just being visitors. People from all over the world sign up to participate in the Cook in Tuscany program, but they aren’t always people who love to cook. They may be couples, women on a girls’ trip, mothers and daughters, and even singles who all enjoy a week with each other. Knowing that for some people, this trip is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Meyers go above and beyond to make it extraordinary. Guests are welcomed into the Meyers’ life and enjoy all the activities without having to plan a second of it. The Meyers have done all the work, arranged all the plans, and know all the best places to go. Guests just simply have to show up and the rest is taken care of. Cook in Tuscany is a true passion for George and Linda Meyers. Sharing

their experiences and meeting new people has changed their lives in ways they didn’t anticipate. They have found their calling and are excited to share it with others. A typical week in the program would begin with a Sunday arrival including check-in to the hotel and drinks Ravioli making and appetizers on the balcony followed by dinner. Monday would feature a cooking class and lunch in the garden then a tour of a local town and dinner at a local village. The next day might be spent at Cortona, the location for the movie Under the Tuscan Sun, where participants will wander the village after cooking class, lunch, and a visit with a local cheesemaker. Wednesday is Market Day where visitors visit specialty shops and tour the city of Siena. Fiore di Zucchino Thursday would be spent picking herbs and vegetables from a prized garden for a cooking class and then lunch on the patio. Dinner is served after a wine tasting with a wine master. Friday’s cooking class will teach visitors how to make “the best gnocchi and bruschetta in all of Tuscany” followed by a winery cellar tour and tasting and then the farewell dinner. Cook in Tuscany offers Stuffed Zucchini Flowers their 6-night, 7-day programs in April, May, June, September, and October. The cost of the program includes an allinclusive stay at Hotel La Costa in Montefollonico, hands-on cooking classes, and all wine, meals, excursions, and tours. Dates are quickly selling out in 2015 and even 2016. To learn more about the program, go to cookintuscany.com or call 703-895-1395. Making stuffed zucchini flowers in the kitchen

LIFTING YOUR

Spirits

PEARMUND CELLARS One cannot talk about Virginia wine without mentioning Pearmund Cellars in Broad Run and its owner, Chris Pearmund. Beginning his wine career in the mid-80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as a sales rep and sommelier, Pearmund graduated to winemaker at Rappahannock Cellars. Purchasing the Meriwether Vineyard in 1993, he opened Pearmund Cellars in 2002. Besides owning his own winery, Pearmund has helped open other wineries across the country. Among wineries that Pearmund has helped open locally are The Winery at LaGrange, The Winery at Bull Run, Paradise Springs and Vint Hill Craft Winery. In addition, he has taught winemaking and promoted Virginia wines around the world. White wines of note include the 2013 Petit Manseng, aged in steel with a dry, citrusy taste that rivals any Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio produced elsewhere. This is a wonderful accompaniment with shellfish or sushi. The 2013

Viognier is the latest vintage of this acclaimed Virginia wine. Try this with pork, ham or brie. And the estate 2011 Old Vine Chardonnay still has buttery overtones which balance the fruity, mineral taste of this local favorite. Poultry, heavier seafood, creamy sauces and hot, buttered popcorn pair nicely here. Of the red wines, ask to try the Cabernet Franc Reserve, which has a deeper, richer, fruitier taste than the regular Cabernet Franc, which still has the familiar bell pepper finish that pairs beautifully with beef stew, pot roast, pizza and lasagna. Another recommendation is the Ameritage and Ameritage Reserve Bordeaux blends. Picnics, kids, dogs and Frisbees are welcome. During March, weekend visitors will get to taste wine from the barrels. And if you miss an older vintage of your favorite wine, ask to check the locked library wine cabinet for availability.

Steve Oviatt is President of the Haymarket Gainesville Business Association and runs his own consulting business in addition to working for a number of local wineries. Steve Acknowledges that his daughter has taught him everything he knows about wine. He lives in Catharpin with his wife, Nancy. 54
