Discovered History

Happy & Healthy

embers of “The Greatest Generation” are most closely identified with World War II and the Korean War, and by the branch of the armed forces in which they served. Albert Paul “Al” Lovelace, 89, of Haymarket represents his generation in several ways. Al enlisted in the Navy during World War II, and after the war, earned a commission through Army ROTC. Later, he was commissioned in the recently organized U.S. Air Force, and

FROM THE

Editor

Thanks & Giving Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time of year. The air is turning crisp and the farm fields are full of bent cornstalks or being plowed under and put to bed for the winter. As a culture, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not quite as connected to the earth and to the harvest season that our ancestors once were, though I am happy that we have this yearly symbolic reminder of the abundance in our lives. While we may not be putting up stores of crops to last us the winter, this time of year, we continue to gather our harvest of other kinds, to take stock, and to be truly thankful. The child returning home from college, the veteran returning from duty overseas, the chance to celebrate together with an elder relative that is slowly fading like the last bright leaves on the maple tree, are all reminders of the things that really matter in the holidays. In a few weeks, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll gather that bounty and huddle together by the fireplace or the dining table, telling stories, sharing laughter and sharing a meal, and there will be warmth. That warmth is multiplied when we know that we have been able to share simple blessings with others. Perhaps this year you made a special effort to add an extra bag of groceries to your weekly grocery order and donated it to the food pantry. Or maybe you made a special effort to reach out to youth needing guidance, or even someone in need of a life saving bone marrow transplant. This issue is dedicated to the ways in which we celebrate and generously share what we have to give. I hope you enjoy reading, and I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Dianne Lemanski Welcomes Realtor® Michelle Spezzano To Her Real Estate Team Dianne Lemanski has proudly served as one of the top Realtors® in the Haymarket area for more than 10 years. She has always worked as a “solo” agent along with her licensed assistant, Bridget Rosensteel. Dianne is thrilled that Agent Michelle Spezzano is joining the team. What attracted you to real estate as a career? Michelle: I have always enjoyed looking at new construction and model homes. I like seeing different layouts in houses and getting ideas for ways to make everyday living easier and more enjoyable. I love interacting with people from different backgrounds and meeting new friends. The idea of helping people find the home they’ve been looking for is fun and exciting! Home is where the heart is, so finding a home is an important decision. And, I want to make my clients feel they are important in the process. Why do you think Dianne Lemanski’s team is a good fit for you? Michelle: In the process of buying and selling real estate, your Realtor® is someone you will spend a lot of time with, so it is important to enjoy being around that person. Dianne has a love of life and genuinely cares about people. She is fun to work with and spend time with. Dianne also has ten years of real estate experience behind her and is very knowledgeable of the local market and the buying/selling processes.

Why are you adding an Agent to your team after all these years? Dianne: I have had a goal to add a second agent to my team for a while. Having another agent on the team who knows our clients, our market, and our systems and embraces our core values will take us to a whole new level of service for our clients. Gary Keller tells us to be slow to hire, and I guess I followed his advice! I had to find the right person who felt like my team was right for them as well. I finally found that person. What value do you think Michelle will bring to the team? Dianne: One of the most important things to me in hiring an agent was to feel that my clients will get the same level of care and service from that person as they would from me. I trust that will be the case with Michelle. She has qualities that are invaluable and cannot be taught -- integrity, enthusiasm, intelligence, to name a few. Bridget has been an amazing contributor on my team for years, and Michelle is going to be a great addition!

What are you most excited about as you start your new career? Michelle: I have been a stay-at-home mom for several years and I have enjoyed being at home with my kids. Now that our family is complete, I am ready to contribute to the community and financially to our family. Real estate is something I have always known I would enjoy, and people have told me I would be good at it. I am thrilled to get started in this business and am so happy to have someone like Dianne to work with.

As many pilots did in WWII and Korea, Al Lovelace had the name of his wife Connie painted on the nose of his F-51. It was a way to recall loved ones back home. a training facility in Arizona, and spent most of his tour on the west coast. There was one incident he’ll never forget. “There were five crewmen on board the Ventura,” he explained. “Lt. Hupe’ was the pilot; Toombs, the co-pilot, and a flight engineer. The top turret gunner, who had really fat jowls, was nicknamed ‘Cheeks,’ and I was the tail gunner. Cheeks fired .50-caliber guns, and I fired .30-calibers.” One day, Al’s crew flew over a desolate patch of desert in Nevada for gunnery practice. Their target was a long, cloth “sleeve” being pulled behind a tow plane, and the order was given to commence firing. “Cheeks was blasting away at the sleeve with his .50-calibers, and all of a sudden there was this tremendous clash of metal hitting metal,” recalled Al. “The airplane started jumping all over the sky, and Hupe’ got on the intercom and called out, ‘Cheeks! Cheeks! Report, report! Speak to me!’ There was dead silence. Finally, Cheeks replied, ‘Sirrrr... I just shot away half of our tail.’” “That wasn’t supposed to happen,” Al explained. “The firing interrupters hadn’t done their job, and Cheeks’ twin .50s destroyed one of the Ventura’s rudders.” Pilot Hupe’ struggled to keep the crippled Ventura in the air, and offered his crew a choice: “Boys, it’s kind of bad up here. I believe I can get her down, but if you want to jump out, go ahead!” Al looked down at the unforgiving terrain below, and decided, like the others, to ride it out. Hupe’ managed to maintain control long enough to reach an airfield, and put the plane safely on the ground. “Hupe’ was okay in my book,” Al added. “And it helped that the Ventura was a sturdy plane.” By the time their training was completed, Germany had surrendered, and Operation Olympic – the invasion of the Japanese home islands – was near at hand. “We were ready to be sent into combat when Harry dropped the ‘big firecracker,’“ Al recalled. President Truman’s decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended WWII and eliminated a prolonged, bloody invasion. The war over, like millions of others Al was discharged 10

from the service and returned home. He enrolled in Western Maryland College, where he was in the Army Reserve Officer Corps (ROTC), and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army at graduation. Al was still in college when North Korean forces invaded South Korea on June 25, 1950. At the time, the only fighter aircraft the USAF had in the Far East were prop-driven F-51s based in Japan. This small number of fighters was augmented when the Air Force collected 145 more Mustangs – by raiding storage areas and Air National Guard units – and sending them to Korea aboard the USS Boxer (CV-21). Air Force jets, notably F-80s, F-84s and F-86s, were just coming on line, but nearly all had been assigned to Western Europe to counter the threat posed by the Soviet Union. “I decided that after my undistinguished career as a student, I would do what I really wanted to do, which was to fly a fighter,” Al said. “So I joined the Air Force. I could have gone in as a student officer, which would have paid me about five times as much. But I was so damned eager to get my hands on an F-51 that I went in as a cadet.” In March 1951, Al married the love of his life, Miss Constance Marlene Riley. They celebrated their 63rd anniversary earlier this year. Air war in Korea After primary and advanced training in Waco, Texas, Al got his Wings and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. His advanced training included night flying the North American F-51 Mustang, and by late 1951, his squadron was ordered to fight in the dangerous skies over Korea. They departed the States from California, with stops in Hawaii, Midway and Japan before arriving in South Korea. Their ultimate destination was an airbase designated K-46, near the town of Hoengsong. Accommodations at K-46 were rough, but adequate. The pilots lived in four-man tents, with insulated walls and a large cast-iron stove in the middle to provide heat during the Haymarket Lifestyle

bitterly cold Korean winter. It was just like “The Swamp,” where Army doctors Hawkeye Pierce and Trapper John McIntyre lived in the old TV series, M*A*S*H. “The stove kept half of us warm during the winter,” Al recalled. “And I don’t mean ‘half’ as in the number of men, but the ‘half of you’ that faced the stove. You had to move fast.” Al’s squadron was known as the “Fighting Gamecocks,” and fought in Korea from late 1951 to late 1952. The Gamecocks was the last unit to fly F-51s in Korea, and Al flew 75 combat missions during the year he served there. When flown by a capable pilot, the F-51 was effective, but could be very unforgiving if a pilot was “green,” or got sloppy at the controls. “It was the kind of airplane that you had to keep your eye on, all of the time,” said Al. The mission of F-51 pilots in Korea was to attack enemy troops, convoys and facilities on the ground, hitting them with gunfire, bombs and rockets. They normally flew in four-plane divisions, consisting of the flight leader, his wingman, the second wingman, and “tail end Charlie,” usually the last pilot to join the squadron in Korea. Al points out that this was the same strategy used during WWII, offering the best defensive formation. “The leader was guarded by his wingman, and his wingman was guarded by number three,” Al explained. “It was tail-end Charlie who usually got shot at. When I was the new guy, I was in that position too often, and got all the crap. But it worked out. I’m still here.” “The F-51 was built for dogfighting, not ground attack. We lost a hell-of-alot of guys over there, as we were always exposed to ground fire,” Al added. “The Mustang had miles of coolant and lubrication lines, and it only took one guy with a rifle to put a bullet through that tubing, and your plane was finished. I was lucky. I was hit four times, but none of the hits were life-threatening.” 12

Trains were considered “beautiful targets” because they were so slow, and once in awhile, the Gamecocks would come across a North Korean boat, which was a “plum” target. Although the bad weather in Korea sometimes kept the squadron grounded, it could also be used to the pilots’ advantage. “We could come in low, drop our stuff and get out without being seen and shot at,” Al explained. Al believes that the Korean War was a conflict that no one had predicted, and that the U.S. was unprepared for it. Reflecting on his time in Korea and

1st LT AL LOVELACE in Korea, 1952 his 75 combat missions, Al remarked, “I thought of myself as very patriotic, but foolhardy. You look back on what you did, and ask yourself, ‘Why did I do that?’” Homecoming and a new career Once his tour in Korea was over, Al returned to the States, where he joined his wife and son John Wesley “Wes” Lovelace III, who was born just after Al left the country, and was almost a year old when he got back. “It was a real bad time for the military. During World War II, the mission had been pretty well laid

out, but in Korea we were fighting a war nobody really gave a damn about,” Al recalled. “When I got back, I made captain, and was put into a training command as an instructor.” Later, Al was assigned to Andrews Air Force Base outside of Washington, D.C., and he moved his young family from Brunswick, where they had lived during his absence, to Oxon Hill, Maryland. In the mornings, he did “test hops” on a variety of Air Force planes, including C-47s, C-45s, B-25s and T-33 jet trainers. “My commanding officer was a colonel, and in the afternoons, we would play golf,” Al recalled. “I loved that job.” After a few months at Andrews AFB, Al made the “best decision in his life”- to pursue a career as an airline pilot. But he was still in the Air Force, and it would take real effort and some good luck to start what would be his life’s work. “Eastern Airlines was the pride of commercial aviation back then,” Al recalled. “My dad was a really crack shot with a shotgun, and often went shooting with Frank Bennett, an executive with Eastern.” Al applied for a pilot’s job at Eastern, but was told that he wouldn’t be considered until he was out of the military. Undeterred, Bennett took extraordinary steps to get Al on board. This included getting the hiring personnel at Eastern to expedite the application, and getting Al discharged from the Air Force. A class for new Eastern pilots was starting in two weeks, and Bennett asked Al who was the commanding officer of his unit. Once again luck intervened, and it turned out that Bennett knew the CO, who had actually worked for him at one time. After Bennett contacted him, the paperwork for Al’s discharge quickly came through. “Everywhere I went, there was someone with a pen, ready to sign me out,” said Al with a smile. “I was discharged on Friday, and started the class at Eastern on Monday.” The first aircraft Al flew for Eastern Haymarket Lifestyle

COMMUNITY

Service

Local Giving Organizations Improve Our Community Families living in Haymarket and Gainesville are fortunate be part of a community that cares. We want to highlight some groups of people who are contributing to our community in many positive ways.

Women’s Association of Heritage Hunt

Another separate group choosing to contribute to our community is the Women’s Association of Heritage Hunt. Each year, this association contributes $10,000 to nonprofit organizations in our area, in addition to the $2,000 they give to local schools each year and the regular food drives they host to benefit the Haymarket Food Pantry.

Piedmont Charitable Foundation

The Giving Circle at Heritage Hunt

Nonprofit organizations receive a tremendous amount of support from a group of residents at Heritage Hunt. Each member of this group, The Giving Circle, pledges $1.00 per day throughout the year to be combined together for a donation to nonprofits in Prince William County. The group decides which organizations to donate to based on certain criteria such as meeting basic needs for families, safety, and literacy. This month, the Giving Circle will make their decisions about which organizations will receive grants at a reception they will hold in November. At currently 40 members, they hope to expand so that they can contribute even more to our community. Last year, the Giving Circle awarded $12,000 to 14 different nonprofit organizations. The Haymarket Food Pantry has been a recipient in previous years but also has benefited by the Giving Circle’s Soap and Paper Drive. This drive serves to provide the pantry with items that aren’t included in food drives and not often provided by assistance money. What a creative idea to save such a small amount a day to have such a big impact with combined together.

Members of the Piedmont community in Haymarket have come together to “bring comfort to a family in crisis or aid to exceptional charitable and military support organizations important to our residents and members.” The Piedmont Charitable Foundation was created to help other community programs by offering scholarships, comfort items, and support. The foundation works with Azalea Charities to assist wounded warriors, awards scholarships to deserving college bound children of residents or club members, supports the Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation Disorders Association for medical research to help people with this inherited disorder, and also contributes to the Veterans Moving Forward charity which provides service dogs to veterans with physical and mental health challenges. For those feeling inspired to help others this holiday season, here are some additional ways you can contribute.

Serve Our Willing Warriors

Right here in Haymarket is the Serve Our Willing Warriors and the Bull Run Warrior Retreat that provides military families with much needed peaceful time together. This cause offers many ways to volunteer to help. The organization encourages people to participate or volunteer at a Serve Our Willing Warriors event. Helpers are needed to doing yard work or using labor skills to contribute with construction, painting, landscaping, and paving at the retreat. Fundraising events are welcomed and encouraged - the web site has listed multiple ways for people to do that including car washes, bake sales, a 5K run - “something that lifts community spirits and raises a little money on SOWW’s behalf.” Interested families can make a monetary donation, sponsor an event, or even sponsor or furnish a room at the retreat. More information can be found at willingwarriors.org under the volunteer tab.

CASA, Children’s Intervention Services of Greater Prince William, Fauquier, and Rappahannock

This nonprofit organization serves and protects abandoned, abused, and neglected children by providing them with a voice in court. Volunteers can donate their time to be trained to be become an advocate for these children and make sure they don’t get lost in the system. After applying, volunteers go through 40 hours of training and are screened through background checks for safety before being sworn in by the court and made eligible to be appointed by a judge to the case of an abused or neglected child. Ten hours of available time each month is the amount of time required to really make a positive impact on someone’s life who really needs it. Other volunteering opportunities include helping with events, administrative assistance, and project helpers. Go to casacis. org for more information.

Veterans Moving Forward

This nonprofit in Catharpin provides free service dogs and canine therapy services to veterans with physical and mental health challenges. The matching process is long and intense, often taking two years to assess and train the dog to support each veteran’s individual needs and requirements for support. This process leads to a very successful match, helping in the veterans’ recovery and return to a “less encumbered, more productive life.” Help is needed in the form of monetary donation, which can be made online, or by volunteering to raise a puppy, train a dog, join a comfort dog team, foster a dog, provide grooming, contribute veterinarian services, or helping with transportation. Go to vetsfwd.org for more information.

Operation Christmas Child

Samaritan’s Purse is an organization dedicated to international relief with multiple missions, one of which is Operation Christmas Child. This can be a fun way to get children involved in helping others. It just takes a shoebox of average size, with the lid wrapped separately if you choose to wrap it, and a label printed with the age and gender each family can choose. The box is filled with small gifts appropriate for the child; toys, school supplies, non-liquid hygiene items, and clothing and accessories are recommended. A personal note with a picture of the donating family can be included also. To help cover shipping costs, a $7 donation is required which can be given online or in an envelope in the shoebox. Online donations offer families the opportunity to follow their box to the destination. To print labels online, see gift suggestions, and find local drop off locations, go to operationchristmaschild.com.

Enjoy the

Festivities... but Stay Disciplined by Colby Schreckengost BS, MS, CPT

Are you ready to succumb to the Holiday Bulge? Are you going to throw in the towel until 2015? Or, are you disciplined enough to fight through all of the excuses and get to January 1st with the body that you’ve worked so hard to get for the last 10 months? When it comes to packing on an extra 5-10 pounds during the Holiday Season, I don’t think there is an excuse that I haven’t heard. So what’s yours? Here are my favorites and my anecdotes for each: Excuse #1: “It seems as though there is a party to go to every night and it’s really hard to keep from eating and drinking all of this bad food during the Holidays!” First, decide if you really need to go to all of the functions you’re invited to. Decide whom you most want to spend your time with or where you’ll have the most fun. Then select a few of your favorites and have a good time on those nights. I know that you think you’ll be missed, but trust me, they’ll have fun without you and you’ll feel better the next day! Excuse #2: “The stress of the Holidays drives me to eat more and drink even more!” Creating the perfect Holiday is a myth. Think about what’s important and what makes this time of year so special. Is it more gifts, sugary foods and alcohol or spending more time with your family and friends? Don’t use eating and drinking as a crutch. Since you know you’re likely to indulge a little, try adding one extra workout session per week. Plus, exercise is a great stress reducer! Excuse #3: “With all of this shopping to do and relatives to cook for; I don’t have time to work out.” It’s the oldest excuse in the book. You have to schedule your training sessions. Enlist the help of your spouse, children, parents, friends, in-laws and outlaws to pitch-in and help with meals and activities. Remember that early mornings are a great time to work out. Not much shopping can happen at 6am. Make a commitment to yourself to get your training done! Excuse #4: “There is always food around. Everywhere I look, there are cookies and breads and goodies!” Challenge yourself in those situations. Prove to yourself and everybody else how much respect you have for your health and that you don’t need all those extra carbs and sugar. Drink a big glass of water. You may find that you’re dehydrated, not hungry! Haymarket Lifestyle

Excuse #5: “Holidays bring me down and I eat to keep from being depressed.” If you struggle during the this time of year due to lost loved ones or a challenging family situation; there is no better endorphin raising, natural happy pill than exercise. My advice is to change things up! Try a new gym or training routine. Meet some new people that are doing some really positive things for themselves. You may find this is a great distraction and can have a positive impact on your outlook. Excuse #6: “oh the heck with it... I’m headed over the edge now, I’ll just start over after the 1st of the year.” This one is the most often used excuse this time of year. It’s like walking out to your car and noticing that you have a flat tire; then taking out a gun and shooting the 3 remaining tires so that they’re all flat. “Oh well, I’ll have the dealership come get it and fix them all next month.” Don’t make matters worse. Do your best NOW so that you don’t dig yourself into a deeper hole that is much harder to climb out of. Being in the fitness industry for a couple of decades I certainly understand that the Holidays create a challenging environment for all of us as we strive to maintain a healthy body weight and a healthy body fat percentage. Here are some strategies that will help you get through the next 8-10 weeks with your health and your sanity intact: • Think family first. Don’t stress yourself out trying to create the perfect Holiday Season. • Select only a few parties to attend. • Bring a healthy dish or two to a party. That way you’ll know you have at least one good option. • Eat something healthy and filling before going to the party. • Drink 2 large glasses of water before attending a holiday party and one

between every alcoholic beverage that you drink. If you’re thirsty, drink water, not soft drinks! • Limit your alcohol intake. Alcoholic beverages are high in calories, sugar and carbs, plus the more you drink, the more you gain the “heck with it” attitude and eat everything in sight! • Assess the entire spread of food available to you and make a plan to

keep it healthy. Start off with the veggie tray, green salads or nuts. Fill at least a third to half of your plate with those. They are all high in fiber and nutrients and will help you feel full. • Skip over items that are fried, in sauces, pasta salads, and casseroles. Those tend to be high in fat, calories and carbs. If there’s a deli tray, roll up some turkey and cheese and skip the bread.

We should look at this time of year as opportunities to celebrate and enjoy each other’s company but don’t let it go too far.

Coach Scott Bryson Hosts Teens in Positive Environment

ven though the town of Haymarket is growing and thriving with new businesses, there still aren’t enough places for high schoolers to go and socialize. Especially on evenings after an exciting high school football game, the teens in

our town are left hanging with few outlets for their energy. However, an organization called Against the Grain is providing high-school aged teenagers with a safe place to go to hang out, eat good food, and just be themselves.

Scott Bryson uses positive coaching on and off the field. Fatherly love and his faith drives him to improve young lives. 24

After Battlefield High School football home games, the Pace West building in Haymarket hosts a “Fifth Quarter” night that starts right after the game and goes until midnight. Battlefield High students and their peers are welcome to congregate at the school to spend time in a safe, positive environment. Sandwiches from Chickfil-A, snacks, and water are provided for free. The kids can sit outside and roast s’mores around the fire pit or play basketball in the gymnasium. Raffle events with prizes like gift cards to iTunes or local businesses or t-shirts, are conducted as current pop music plays in the background. Essentially the environment has been custom tailored for teens to enjoy, and it all started thanks to a family with a passion and a desire to serve young people. Scott Bryson says “where your passions and abilities lie, that’s where you are supposed to be.” It’s something he was told by mentors who have influenced him throughout his life through ministry. For years, he had been spiritually led to serve people according to his Christian faith, but he couldn’t figure out how he could Haymarket Lifestyle

fit it all into a busy life working in law enforcement and raising three children with his wife Elisabeth. As a coach of freshman football at Battlefield, he encouraged a positive environment by modeling acceptable behavior, not accepting cursing, and being a mentor to the kids, but this still didn’t quite fulfill his dream. So in 2012, he and his wife launched Against the Grain to bring together his love for football coaching with his faith. Scott and other members of his family host football camps for children that include faith messages about the love of Christ, while providing sports training and encouragement and making an impact on young lives. Scott and his family wanted to offer children something other than the normal sports camp while also providing them a place to have the freedom to talk about God. The first football camp ran during the summer of 2013 and then again in the summer of 2014. However, Scott and his wife knew they wanted to do something for youth during the other months of the year so they came up with the Fifth Quarter idea. This is their second year hosting the program. During the 2013 football season, the Fifth Quarter was hosted at Park Valley Church where the Brysons are members. This year, with expanded facilities at the Pace West building, Scott says there have been over 100 students in attendance at the informal gatherings. While the schedule of Fifth Quarter events is based on the Battlefield High School football schedule, students from other schools are also welcome. Scott says the program lets “teenagers do what teenagers do” while keeping them safe and chaperoned. He says the parents are appreciative and the kids are excited to attend with their friends. The program is successful due to the help of others who believe in the mission. Jason Ward, franchised restaurant operator at Chick-fil-A in Gainesville, helps by donating food to the program. Around 10 to 12 parent volunteers chaperone each night. Shawn Landry, CEO and founder of Quality Business Engineering that owns the Pace West building, graciously donates the use 26

Faith Based Football camps by Against the Grain focus on football skills while teaching positive moral lessons. of the space for the program. Along with purchasing some of the hangout furniture for the gym, the Landry family is also kind enough to always take the setup duty for the events. Scott and his wife are so thankful to have these relationships that contribute to our community and give children a positive place to go in Haymarket. The Brysons are committed to growing Against the Grain into being a non-profit that serves young people throughout the community. They are filling up their 2015 event calendar with football clinics; the first will be in January. Their eventual goal is for

these programs to also help support mission efforts overseas. Their desire is to direct a portion of funds to Deeper Missions, which engineers fresh water wells for people in need. It’s a cause that is near and dear to them as they’ve traveled on mission trips and seen firsthand the need for help in poverty stricken countries.

Giving Life through Bone Marrow Registry by Christine Craddock

Thanksgiving is a time of year where families are reminded to be grateful for family, friends, health, wealth, and happiness. And with the holidays coming, generous families are eager to contribute to those in need by donating meals or giving their time as volunteers. However, one very important way individuals can give back that is not often thought about year round is by registering to become a bone marrow donor. Be the Match, operated by the National Marrow Donor Program, has managed the largest marrow registry 28

in the world for the last 25 years. Their web site, at bethematch.org, has information for donors, patients, and supporters about how people can help contribute. Interested people can order supplies to host their own donor drive which will help work towards getting more people on the registry and provide more of a life-saving opportunity for patients. Unfortunately, even with millions of people on the registry, people who are of a minority background have more difficulty finding a match. The Icla da Silva Foundation is a

recruitment center for Be the Match with a focus on minorities. The foundation, established in 1992, was named after a 13-year-old Brazilian girl who never found the matching donor who would have given her a chance to survive leukemia. Her brother, Airam da Silva, president of the organization, tells his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story about selling off all their possessions and coming to New York to try to save Iclaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Before Icla died, she expressed her wishes of starting a foundation to try to help the children she met while enduring treatment. da Silva Haymarket Lifestyle

has dedicated his life to fulfilling her wishes, saying there are 12,000 new patients per year in the U.S. who could benefit from a bone marrow transplant, but only one third of those receive it. “One of the main reasons,” he says, is the “lack of diverse donors and the lack of commitment from donors in the registry.” There are many misconceptions surrounding the bone marrow

match or the best possible match and the organization will work with them on the next steps towards donation. Another misconception is that donating bone marrow costs money for the donor. Be the Match says that “all medical expenses related to additional testing and donation will be covered by the patient’s insurance or by Be the Match.” Airam da Silva says “the biggest misconception about bone marrow donation is that it is painful” and that in every situation, “marrow is extracted without anesthesia or drilling into the bone.” In actuality, about 75 percent of marrow donations are similar to a blood donation. It’s called “peripheral blood stem cell” donation which is a nonsurgical procedure with a short recovery time. Also, “because only 1 to 5 percent or less of your marrow is needed to save the patient’s life, your immune system stays strong,” says Be the Match. Like Icla da Silva, a match was never found for Ana Almeida, who lived in the Villages of Piedmont in Haymarket. A devoted mother of two beautiful little girls, she bravely battled through aggressive cancer treatments and the leukemia she developed afterwards. Ana’s only chance for survival was a bone marrow transplant. However, in the 10.5 million registered donors nationally, her Brazilian heritage made it very difficult to find a genetic match for the transplant. Ana was desperate to live to see her babies grow up, urging people to attend the bone marrow registry events that were hosted for her in her Haymarket neighborhood and local area. Her body began to weaken from the chemotherapy that was administered to keep her leukemia at bay. Ana passed away two years ago in October,

transplant process. First, becoming a registrant is painless - it’s as easy as a cheek swab. Prospective donors can register at a community event or by ordering a kit that is shipped to their home with instructions for submitting their sample. When the sample is sent in, the potential donor’s tissue type is added to the registry. If someone’s information comes up when a transplant center searches the registry for a patient, he or she will be ranked on a list of possible matches. The patient’s doctor may then ask for additional testing of the tissue sample to narrow down the list. Registrants will be contacted if they are a potential

devastating her loving husband, children, and family and friends, both here in Haymarket and in Brazil. She made a huge impact on her neighbors in Villages of Piedmont, as evidenced by the memorial where friends shared stories of her beaming smile and kind personality. While Ana’s spirit will live on through her two girls, her story can serve to help others by inspiring people to join the bone marrow registry. Potential donors may not ever receive a call that they are a match for someone, but if they do, it could lead to a greater opportunity to contribute to someone’s life in an extraordinary way. Adam Patterson, who lives in Dominion Valley with his wife and three children, has been on the registry since his time in the Marine Corps. He says when he received the call in September that he was a match for a patient, his initial thought was not fear but excitement “at the promise of being able to help” someone in need. Although he was not chosen as the best possible match, he was disappointed but remains hopeful that maybe he can help someone in the future. This Thanksgiving, keep in mind families like Ana’s who would forever benefit from a life-saving gift. Order a kit and encourage friends to do it also. Any one of us could find ourselves in need of someone else’s generosity and hope that the perfect person will come along to help.

K E R T A M Y A H FOOD PANTRY Understanding During Times Of Need

ake a glimpse into a place where people donate their own time because they truly want to help others. On Saturday mornings, as well as on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, people in need come to the Haymarket Food Pantry to pick up food to sustain their families. If visitors peek into the stock room, they may find preteen volunteers working to fill tubs according to grocery checklists for client families. This may be one of the very few places to find children of that age who get up early on their weekends to give back. When she was in 7th grade and had just moved to Virginia, Jeneva Weil’s

mother got her involved in working at the pantry. Her mother’s “kind and giving heart” is now reflected in Jeneva who is a sophomore in college and continues to volunteer her time there. She says after she realized the impact she was having on others’ lives, she began to want to volunteer more. Her main motivation is the reaction she gets from the families. “They are really grateful and vocalize their admiration” which makes her directly see the positive effect it has in her life. Although the pantry is blessed to receive produce from Walmart, food

donations from Giant in Dominion Valley, and even a butcher in Warrenton who provides donated venison from Hunters for the Hungry, the shelves sometimes appear bare in the stockroom, especially during the summer when clients grocery needs are greater due to lack of access to school nutrition programs for the children. Hunger knows no season, and the food pantry is hoping to raise awareness that while the holidays are a great time to give, the pantry needs year-round support in order to continue their service to the community. Eileen Smith, board member and volunteer for the pantry says that “while donations are growing in numbers, so are the people who need help.” The pantry gave out 4,011 family meals from January through September which comes out to over 400 family meals each month. Over half of the individuals served are between the ages of 19 to 64, with 40 percent aged 6 to 18, and 4 percent over the age of 65. The food pantry is one of Haymarket’s most important and necessary buildings in the town. It runs like a well-oiled machine due to the dedication and passion of their staff and volunteers. As the needs of the community continue, the strain on the food pantry is beginning to show. Many may not be aware that the 100 year Haymarket Lifestyle

old house that is home to the pantry is without running water and adequate electricity to refrigerate perishables. The crack in the foundation created by the 2011 earthquake created added challenges. The good news is that while the pantry may be facing significant adversity, help is on the horizon. At one of the pantry’s fundraiser events, Erik Dardas, a regional manager for Home Depot, learned about the problems with the pantry’s building and was inspired to react. As an employee of Home Depot for 31 years, Erik has seen the many ways the company has cultivated an environment of giving back to the community. Determined to help the pantry, he reached out to his outside sales team member, Zsanitta King, to find a contact in our area who would help him assess the cost of fixing some of the problems. Zsanitta approached Shadi Tahrawi from Michael & Son and and asked him to meet up with Erik at the pantry. Although the original agreement was for Michael & Son to assist in a consulting role, “things took a surprising turn,” says Erik. The work was estimated to be over $3,200 but Michael & Son and Home Depot struck a generous and wonderful partnership to do the work together free of charge for the pantry. Michael & Son would handle the labor and Home Depot would donate the supplies. It was a match that was meant to be of two businesses with strong core values helping people in need. Erik credits Michael & Son, a business run by Basim Mansour who honors his father’s legacy with a strong work ethic and great foundation of honor and pride, with really digging in and getting involved in the project. Phase 1 of the project, completed in October, replaced the toilets, sinks,

faucets, and hooked up running water to the building. Phase 2 involved painting the entire inside of the building, storm doors, ceiling fans, and more improvements. Erik points out a common misconception people may have about residents in living in the Haymarket area - that it’s a hamlet of wealthy families. As with most people who see the families in need who come the pantry, his eyes have been opened to the reality of our community. There are many families who depend on the pantry. Determined to go the extra mile, he is working with an artist to make a sign to identify the pantry using the H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Eat) logo to make sure everyone knows where the building is and where they can go to help others. He says that if this project can give the Haymarket Food Pantry a higher profile in the community and inspire others to contribute, then “it will have all been worth it.” Signing up to be a volunteer is easily done through haymarketfoodpantry. org and only requires attending a training session. When asked, volunteers will tell you that the time spent at the pantry is helpful to their own lives as well as those in need. Some will even tell you they are directly giving back because they’ve been on the other side. A few volunteers have personal experience difficult times when their own families had to rely on food pantries to get by.

During the fall and winter months, the pantry has specific needs such as team leaders for the Thanksgiving and Christmas food drives and volunteers to help organize the holiday food baskets. The pantry could also use a storage pod to help them have a better way of storing donations. Food drives are always appreciated and can be easily organized at a workplace, church, neighborhood, school, or even between families. Go to haymarketfoodpantry.org to find out how to get involved with this great cause in our community. If you’d like to help with holiday food drives, contact the pantry at marketing@haymarketfoodpantry.org.

Teens help out by cleaning and organizing, making do with what is available.

HEY,

Dad?

“Hey, Dad...What is character?” Advice from Dumb Old Dad

by Robert H. Chrisman

y son and I walk every evening for about an hour when the weather is nice. We talk about all kinds of stuff M as we stroll through neighborhood streets and walk along

Main Street in Haymarket. It is good Dumb Old Dad and son bonding time. During one recent evening walk, we talked about the upcoming school year, which will be my son’s senior year in high school. My son commented that he will miss his friends who were seniors last year, especially those seniors who were his cross country teammates. The senior runners, my son explained, made last season really enjoyable for him. I suggested to my son that those senior teammates of which he spoke so fondly fulfilled the role of being good leaders, and now that he will be one of the seniors on the team this year, it was his turn to step up into a leadership role. “Being a leader,” I stated, “builds character.” At that, my son asked, “Hey Dad, you always say that but I’m not sure what you mean. What is character?” My son’s question did not surprise me in the least. Being an inquisitive young man, he regularly asks follow-up questions during our conversations. What did catch me by surprise was how I stammered and struggled in answering his question. In my fifty-plus years, I have heard that phrase used thousands of times, probably read it in books hundreds of times, and certainly used the word in this very context countless times at home, but I couldn’t come up with a good definition. Not happy with the answer that I gave my son, I decided to do some research on his question. First, I hit up my inner circle of friends, asking them the same question my son asked me. Each one of them fumbled around with an answer. My southern friend finally said in frustration, “Would you just shut up, Bob. I want peace during my lunch hour.” His reaction confirmed that he too was struggling with the definition of character. So, that evening, I turned to the trusty Internet. I typed in “What is character?” and .26 seconds later, the Internet populated 174,000,000 hits. It seems like a lot of folks are interested in the definition of character, as well. In general terms, the Web and my friends told me that character is a set of traits or qualities that define an individual’s personality. These traits or qualities include such behaviors as integrity, honesty, and courage. I noticed that the phrase, “moral qualities,” continually appeared in many of the webpage definitions of character. This then led me to pulling out my study Bible and searching “character” in the concordance. I found several verses such as Proverbs 31 that spoke of “character,” but none provided a definition. My spiritual mentor confirmed my findings as well. Frustrated in my failure to find a clear definition of “character,”

I decided to take my Chow Chow for a walk and think out loud. Walking and talking to myself is something that I have done since I was in elementary school as a way to work through troubling issues and sort out my thoughts. My wife, a.k.a. “The Boss,” worries that our neighbors will think I am nuts seeing me walking around, mumbling to myself, but it works for me. Sure enough, after talking to my Chow Chow for more than an hour as we circled the neighborhood, I came up with the answer that had been eluding me. When my son and I went on our next walk, I again brought up the topic of character. I told my son that character can be defined as the actions he takes, the words he uses, and the emotions he feels that make him into a good person. I explained that we as humans are continually bombarded with temptations and situations that can lead us to act in a wrongful or negligent or self-centered manner, or in terms of Christianity, in a sinful way. But, those individuals who can rise above their self-interests in sacrifice towards others, who are honest and trustworthy, and who are genuinely concerned for the well-being of others and our earth are of good moral character. My son seemed to pay close attention to my words, but with the humid air making us feel sticky and sweaty, the setting sun blazing in our eyes, and the mosquitoes sucking our bodies dry of blood, I felt like I had not articulated my thoughts very well. Fortunately, my son would prove me wrong. Like my son’s previous seasons, July marks the time when his team begins training at the Manassas National Battlefield Park. They’re not the official school practices yet; rather what are called “Captain’s Practices,” or “CP,” which means that only the student-athletes show up to practice. No coaches. The senior student-athletes, like my son, are expected to organize the practices. During the second week of CP, late one afternoon, my son texted The Boss to tell her that he would be getting home a little later than normal; that he was still at the park. That evening, as he and I went on our walk, I asked my son why his practice went beyond the normal time. He explained that practice ended on time, but the mother to one of the younger boys on the team had not shown up on time, so my son decided to stay with his teammate so that he would not be left alone. After a few minutes of walking in silence, my son said, “I remembered what you said about being a leader and stepping up this year.” Talk about getting choked up. I didn’t know what to say, so I just put my arm around his shoulders to let him know that I was proud of him. He looked at me and smiled. It’s good to be Dumb Old Dad.

Robert H. Chrisman is a born and raised Washingtonian. He is married with two teenage children (one of each), and a four-year old Chow Chow. He has been a resident of Haymarket since 2002, and a Federal employee for the past twenty-eight years. 38

NOT REACHING YOUR BUSINESS GOALS? TAKE THIS PERSONAL BRAND CHECK UP! by Pat Ennis

Not reaching your business goals? Take this Personal Brand Check Up! What do people say about you when you are not in the room? You know what to expect from Kellogg’s, Pepsi Cola, and Lexus. They spend millions on their brands. What do people expect from you? When people are deciding on how to get a job done, does your name come up? Are you someone they would enjoy working with? From entry-level to company president, your advancement depends on how people experience your Personal Brand. Any time you are visible, you are either building or taking away from

your brand. Protect and nurture your brand for business success. Here are 7 check-up questions to ask yourself: ❶ What do I stand for? Are you clear about your values and living them? Do you advocate community but not volunteer? When the chips are down, do you show up, do you stroke the check, or remake the order that wasn’t right even when it costs you? Know your “why.” Live it personally and in business, and you will get respect. ❷ How’s my marketing? Do you dress for success but neglect your social media? People are checking you out! Start with your online profiles.

Update your experience, volunteer activities and accomplishments on LinkedIn. Is your picture professional? On Facebook, maybe it’s time to stop calling yourself a “Deadhead.” ❸ Do I know what I do? Can you describe yourself quickly to anyone you meet? Use adjectives and be specific! You don’t just “sell houses” - you’re an “energetic realtor who specializes in finding young adults their first home!” Be able to communicate who you are, what you do, why it is essential, and what someone would find interesting about you in 30 seconds. ❹ What don’t I know? When the CEO has a problem where do they go? Be a resource. What knowledge would make you more valuable to customers and superiors? Be more up-to-date than your peers. You can take classes, join groups and learn new skills. Then, let it be known you are available. ❺ Who do I know? Mentors are critical to business success. Ask “who do I need to know in my company, my industry, or my community that could help me ascend?” You want honest feedback. If you don’t know anyone, consider hiring a coach in your field. ❻ What projects can I be part of? Volunteering gets you noticed and gets you “in the room” with inﬂuential people who can experience you first hand. ❼ Do I have permission? Don’t let limiting beliefs hold you back? Give yourself permission to step outside the box and establish a more dynamic, engaging personal brand.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT Steve Kubin Primerica - Kubin

HGBA Member since: 2012 Address: 8700 Centreville Road, Suite 8696 Manassas, VA 20110 Phone: 703-330-4533 Email: skubin.hy983@primerica.com Web: www.primerica.com/kubin Steve Kubin has always enjoyed helping people. With his travel agency, Travel Network, in Manassas, he helped people with their travel dreams. Upon the sale the agency in 1988, Steve began looking for something that would improve the quality of life for his clients for the long term. He decided to join Primerica because of their core concept of “Buy Term (Life Insurance) and Invest the Difference”, something he truly believed in. He is now celebrating his 25th year as an independent representative of Primerica, having become a Regional Vice President in September, 1989. With Primerica he now helps people reach their financial goals and dreams. Steve has many clients who live and/or work in the Haymarket-Gainesville community. He believes in building long-term relationships with his clients; building his business mostly from referrals. Perhaps that is due to the fact that Steve has seen many of his clients reach and exceed their financial goals. “It is always great to see a client get totally out of debt including paying off their mortgage and be able to retire on the income from their savings and investments.” Steve attends most HGBA meetings and encourages others to join the organization as it’s a great way to get to know other business leaders in the community. He offers these three tips for financial success: 1. We recommend that you work up a comprehensive budget and stick with it. You should review the budget periodically and make adjustments when necessary. We can help clients prepare a budget in our complimentary Financial Needs Analysis. 2. You can never save too much for retirement. Retirement goals should be reviewed periodically. We can help you determine your financial goals through our comprehensive and complimentary Financial Needs Analysis. 3. If you are a small business owner and cannot yet afford to set up a company retirement plan for your employees such as a Simple IRA, a SEP IRA or a 401(k), we can show you how to set up a Payroll Deduction Plan (PDP) IRA that will not cost your company any money except postage and some bookkeeping time.

Fauquier Health Dr. Kate Sullivan Joins Fauquier Health Urology Urologist Dr. Kate Sullivan recently joined Fauquier Health Urology in Warrenton. Most recently, she was a major in the United States Air Force, and a chief of Urology. Dr. Sullivan said, “I accepted the position with Fauquier Health because the hospital provides superior care and service to patients of the greater Warrenton community. After meeting Dr. Brian DeCastro, my partner, I realized we would work well together as a team and bring excellent quality care to the community.” Urology is a specialty that deals with diseases of the male and female urinary tract -- including kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra -- and male reproductive organs. Urological conditions can occur in both sexes and at any age. Although urology is considered a surgical specialty, a knowledge of internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology and other specialties is necessary because of the wide variety of clinical problems that may be encountered. In three years as a urologist, Dr. Sullivan has found that she especially enjoys this diversity of patients and surgeries.

She says that while people think of urological conditions as men’s issues, she disagrees. “Women, like men, can also have kidney stones, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, and incontinence.” Indeed, kidney stones are one of the most common problems she encounters. Dr. Sullivan is grateful that her job offers her so much personal satisfaction. “It is very gratifying when I encounter a patient in pain or in a stressful situation and I am able to intervene and resolve their pain or help the patient understand what is going on and decrease their stress. I strive to provide excellent patient-centered care, every day.” Dr. Sullivan attended George Washington University School of Medicine for medical school from 2001 to 2005 and completed her urologic residency training at the University of Colorado Denver from 2005 to 2011. She is thrilled to be in Fauquier County. “I think it’s going to be a great place to raise my family,” she says. At the same time, she realizes there may be downsides: “I like to cook and garden, but I was recently welcomed to gardening in Virginia with my first bout of poison ivy.”

THE GARDEN

The Garden Lady’s

Gift Wish List by Lynne Galluzzo

n the next few weeks you may be giving gift suggestions to someone, looking for a gift to give someone, in the mood to treat yourself or any combination of the above. In any case, let me give you some great ideas. Michael Dirr is a horticulturist and professor of horticulture at University of Georgia. His book, “Manual of Woody Landscape Plants” is my main reference book. It is over two inches thick and loaded with information on trees and shrubs. While it has complete technical information on all the plants from Abelia (love them!) to Ziziphus (never saw one) Dirr also writes descriptions of each plant. These narratives are very entertaining, it is like walking through a vast botanical garden with him and he is giving his personal opinion of everything there. Sometimes he is full of praise and sometimes he comes close to saying that you are an idiot if you plant one. There are no color photographs, all the illustrations are clear black and white drawings of leaves, buds and flowers. If you have to see color pictures then his hardcover book, “Dirr’s Hardy Trees and Shrubs” is perfect. I use both of these books, combining the longer narratives of the first one with the

picture references of the second. Just as essential as the two previous books, the “Southern Living Garden Book” is a wonderful reference because it is written specifically for gardening in the South. This book includes flowering plants along with trees and shrubs and if something won’t grow in the South it is not included. I used to cut articles and pictures out of magazines and catalogs and file them in the appropriate places between the pages of this book. Finally it got so stuffed and cumbersome that I took an Exacto knife to the book, cut out every page, put each one in a sheet protector along with the all of the extra pages I had saved and now it all lives in three very full three inch binders. When I have time, usually in the winter, I will sit with one of these notebooks and study it again. If I have questions about a certain plant I can explore it further with both of Dirr’s books. When it is time to get back outside and garden, these three tools will make the work easier and faster and therefore, more fun. I have written before about my soil knife and Joyce Chen scissors. I would like to add Felco #2

Felco Pruners are very handy and always appreciated

Haymarket Lifestyle

Pruners. I take all three of these with me when I garden anywhere and they accomplish a lot. Having good, sharp, reliable tools takes much of the frustration and effort out of gardening. They make it easier and faster to be able to stand back and say, “Wow!” Books and tools are merely back up singers to the main purpose of gardening –plants. And to me, the best of them all is Roses. You wouldn’t know I feel that way if you saw my garden today. Some of my Roses are looking kind of spindly and sad but the important point here is that these are the ones that have SURVIVED. They survived last winter, Snowmageddon and tough love from The Garden Lady. When these Roses even have one flower it is noticed and celebrated. So here are some of the best that I think will do well for you also: all of the Knock Out Roses look great, Blush Knock Out is my favorite so I have two of those; Graham Thomas and Abraham Darby are my favorite David Austin Roses and somehow these two keep hanging in there for me. A great Floribunda, Trumpeter, has an amazing deep red orange color, intense fragrance and is holding its own in a bed of aggressive Plumbago. Carefree Sunshine and Garden Party manage to grow and bloom consistently in spite of being in a deer path and under a Cherry Tree. Queen Elizabeth is keeps creating beautiful pink flowers on a four foot high plant. The two Roses I planted for my In Laws – War Memorial and Janet are proving to be as tough as the people were. On October 4th, Black Cherry has gifted me with a three stunning dark red flowers. The Charlatan transplanted from the Van Houttei Spirea to a more sunny, open location without even one leaf wilting. I rescued Belinda’s Dream from an Amsonia volunteer bully and it is already twice the size. Make a gift of any of these Roses and they will be a gift that gives over and over for years to come. While the actual plants are not available now, gift certificates or a picture with a promise work just as well. Reading and dreaming about gardening seems to get even better with a warm, flavorful cup of tea. AbFab Tea is blended locally in very small batches in order to keep the quality and flavor consistent. The Chai even has a single bruised Cardamom pod placed in each bag before sealing to make sure that special flavor is in each bag. There are no “other natural flavorings” or whatever mystery ingredients that implies. AbFab tea is available at Crafted, the new store on Route 15 that also carries craft wine, beer and beautiful hand blown glass items. It comes in a tin with sixteen bags of one flavor or a special holiday sample package of one of each of their twelve tasteful flavors. A book, a tool, a Rose, some tea – all are wonderful things that when you give them or receive them it will always be remembered as something special.

The Southern Living Garden Book and Dirr’s Manual can be ordered from Barnes & Noble.

Insider Secrets to

Maximizing Your Dental Insurance

(SHHHHH!)

by Dr. Tontra Lowe

Did you know that according to published statistics, according to the ADA over 60% of employees with dental insurance won’t use their benefits at all this year? Are you on the verge of losing your hard-earned benefits? Most policies will expire on Dec 31st. Hundreds of millions of dollars of unused benefits will terminate, and where do you think the money will go? Thankfully, all is not lost! You can be a winner, and not a loser, with your dental insurance. Failure to use your benefits is the same as handing the insurance company a check. In many instances, the benefits you paid for do not carry over from year to year. Here are a few tips to keep you smiling with confidence while maximizing your dental insurance, flexible spending account (FSA), or health savings account (HSA). Know Your Benefits It is hard to make informed decisions about your oral health without adequate information. Health insurance and dental insurance DO NOT work the same way. Research your insurance company’s list of dental coverages and maximums, since your dental care provider may have limited access to your policy data, such as: What percentage is covered for fillings, extractions, crowns or root canals? Is adult orthodontics covered, or is it only up to age 19? Identify any waiting period before the benefit can actually be used (it is useless to pay for coverage that doesn’t start for 12-18 months when your tooth is broken and hurting today)

What is the maximum that the insurance will help cover before all costs belong to you, also known as your annual maximum? Identify Any Deductible The deductible in dentistry is what you have to pay before the insurance will kick in any payment for your treatment. It is a one-time fee per year, and can range from $0-$150 per person in the family. With a crop of new companies selling dental coverages/riders under the Affordable Care Act, it can be much higher. Carefully read any fine print before you sign up for any plans and ask specific questions. The deductible is due when you receive any treatment from the dentist (not regular cleanings in most cases) each year your policy rolls over and is refreshed. Establish Flex Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Accounts (HSA) Does your employer allow contributions to a FSA or HSA? Have you asked your human resource (HR) manager? These accounts hold pre-tax dollars to cover health costs including dental deductibles and co-pays. If you have a treatment plan from your dentist that outlines what needs to be done to become healthy and keep your teeth for a lifetime, use it as your guide to plan what to contribute. Remember, with an FSA, just like your dental insurance benefits, if you don’t use the money, you LOSE the money and

your overall health will continue to deteriorate. With an HSA the money is there, it’s yours, so use it to promote your health! Planning is key! Use Your Benefits When it comes to your health, ignorance is not bliss. Some people pay over and over for benefits that they never use. Why we do this is a mystery. Regular professional cleanings, exams, and x-rays can help keep your teeth shiny and your gums healthy, reducing overall need for more extensive procedures. Remove any cavities when they are small since treatment will cost less, take fewer appointments, and will cause less discomfort. Use your benefits to keep your mouth healthy as it is the biggest highway to the rest of your body. With or without dental insurance, the health of your body depends a lot on the health of your mouth. Be a winner and always maximize any benefits. December 31st is right around the corner. Call your dentist today. Your teeth are counting on you!

Dr. Tontra Lowe is a family, cosmetic, and sedation dentist located at Awesome Smiles Dental Center recently recognized as Haymarket Lifestyle Magazine’s Best New Business 2014. She’s been practicing dentistry for almost 10 years, and truly believes that everyone should smile with confidence. She is a member of the DC National Guard, and volunteers frequently at the Fauquier Free Dental Clinic. Her passion is helping people keep their teeth for a lifetime because she understands that when you change your smile…you change your life! 46

THE

JOY ART OF ADDING

TO YOUR HOME by Paola McDonald

A big part of the interior design process involves incorporating artwork. Whether it employs the client’s precious collection of fine art or reproductions we’ve found to fit the client’s space, artwork is an important element for a completed, warm, inviting and personal space. It is a very personal element, which should evoke emotion and reaction from those who are experiencing it – and reflect feelings the homeowner wants to convey about their space. Is it relaxing? Stunning? Humorous? Warm? Cutting-edge? Art selection also requires careful consideration of size, scale and lighting as well as proper framing and placement. Every designer would love to be presented with a client’s treasured piece to serve as inspiration for the entire project, including colors, textures and lines – however, that is not always the case. But that doesn’t have to be a deterrent to an amazingly coordinated 48

space. In this month’s article I would like to share with you tips for incorporating artwork into your interior design as well as information about some great local artists and art resources to help you start your own unique collection. The Do’s and Don’ts of Selecting Art for your Space Do: Art should be personal. It should be selected based on your reaction to it. Whether it is an intense emotion or a serene feeling it evokes, the art you choose should speak to you. When selecting artwork for your home, make sure it is something that you love and that evokes feelings you want to experience over and over, every time you see the piece. Don’t: You do not necessarily have to select artwork based on how your space is designed. If you have a strong reaction to the art, and just have to have it, go for it. There are ways to make it work in your space, even if the colors Haymarket Lifestyle

are not exactly correct. Instead, “think of art in a room like punctuation in a sentence. It should lead your eye around the space to accentuate key features, in turn creating visual syntax.” (twfineart.com) Do: Visit local, regional or national galleries of art to study what styles, colors or mediums attract you most. You may be surprised at which pieces and genres draw you November 2014

in! Consider whether you prefer the richness of an oil painting, the softness of pastels or watercolors, the boldness of pop art prints, the intricate details of ethnic weavings, or the raw power of fine art photography. We are fortunate to have so many distinguished galleries in our greater metro area – make plans to visit one soon! Do: Consider shopping locally for unique artwork. There are many local resources, like the Western Loudoun Artist Studio that offers an annual tour of local artists’ studios, free and open to the public. Through their website (www.wlast.org) you can get a list of the local artists who participate in the event. Neighboring Warrenton has a few nice galleries to view fine local works. You can also visit the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria for 82 artist studios, six galleries, two workshops and art classes and educational programs, if

you are interested in creating your own personal art (www.torpedofactory.org). Through these resources you can find a variety of styles and price points to fit any budget. Don’t: Box yourself into a certain medium. Look beyond paintings or prints and consider photography, sculpture, mixed media pieces, quilts, tapestries or weavings, or mosaics. Many types of plaster treatments, tile and woodwork certainly qualify as art as well. And don’t forget to take notice of pieces you already own, or are part of an heirloom collection. Sometimes a new mat or a different location will bring new life to an item. Installation Once you’ve selected the perfect piece of art, now it’s time to consider how you are going to install it. “Proportion is key, scale the artwork to fit the space. Lofty ceilings can 49

appear taller with a large vertical piece. Consider art arrangements, groupings of smaller pieces rather than one large piece. In busy rooms, bold statements work well to break up the space!” (twfineart. com ) Another consideration (one we take on in each and every design project) is color. Do you want to highlight one color from your art with accents throughout the room? Or does your piece contain many colors, suggesting a subtle, neutral palette for the rest of the décor? Does your art evoke a certain feeling which can be highlighted with surrounding color? Balancing color throughout the room, with wallpaper, paint, textiles, flooring, furniture and accent pieces is of utmost importance. Local fine art photographer Jeff Miller suggests that, “There are many ways to incorporate imagery into a room and help set a mood or tone. Look at artwork or photography like you would for the purchase of a sofa or dining table – it should be of a style, color and format to fit in with the rest of the setting.” Location, location, location. Hanging art at eye level is often recommended, but is not the only way. Consider the overall space and how the height of the art will impact it. Often higher ceilings call for a slightly higher installation while other times, the space and its furnishings may call for a lower installation. Don’t forget to take into account the room usage – if people are generally sitting while in the space, consider hanging the art lower. Take a step back and consider the overall impact of the art prior to choosing its installation height. Scale. It is important to consider the scale of an art piece as it relates to where you want to install it in the home and how you

want it be seen. According to Jeff Miller, “People new to art collecting often purchase small pieces, but to be most eye-catching, bigger is better.” When considering a piece, really give thought to where you are going to place it in your home and make sure that it will have impact you are intending. For example, if you are looking to fill a large wall, a small piece may need to be collaged with other pieces or it may look too miniscule in the space. It is important to consider how you will display the piece and its scale before making the investment. Lighting. Lighting is an important consideration for your art installation. According to local artist Kurt Schwarz, “…make sure they are positioned out of direct sunlight. Use lighting to get rid of glare and shadows – don’t place lights directly across from the art.” Also try to stay away from fluorescent bulbs around your artwork. Instead, opt for bulbs that replicate daylight. To accent and highlight your artwork appropriately, consider picture lights. There are a number of styles and colors available on the market to fit any design aesthetic. Many of the styles are available as plug-in options so no messy construction is necessary. If your artwork cannot be altered in size, consider a larger mat, or thicker frame to give your art some oomph, or a smaller frame with no mat if you need the artwork to be on the smaller side. A professional framer should be skilled at selecting frames and mats that are perfect for your piece and can assist you with the sizing details. Sometimes a frame itself is beautiful – perhaps a mirror or subtle fabric pattern would suit it well? One more Do: DO enjoy adding art to your home!

NOVANT Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine Chronic wounds can be a frustrating problem. If you have a wound that has not improved within a month or completely healed within two months your doctor may refer you to Novant Health Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine. Every year, millions of Americans with diabetes or circulatory problems develop non-healing wounds that limit their activity or even threaten their legs and feet. These problems will usually respond with the use of the latest advances in wound care therapy to provide specialized treatment for patients with difficult wound problems. Treating all types of wounds We offer advanced treatment options for wounds resulting from multiple conditions including: • Diabetic foot wounds • Post-operative wounds • Arterial wounds • Venous stasis ulcers • Burns • Traumatic injuries • Colostomy, ileostomy, and urinary diversion care • Decubitus ulcers • Wounds of unknown source • Venous stasis ulcers • Chronic and atypical wounds • Decubitus ulcers • Skin abscess • Surgical • Chronic venous insufficiency • Insect bites • Skin conditions such as hidradenitis supprativa and pyroderma gangrenosum

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) helps the body’s oxygendependent, wound-healing mechanisms function more efficiently. While enclosed in a chamber at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure, patients breathe pure oxygen, saturating their blood plasma and allowing it to carry 10 to 15 times the normal amount of healing oxygen to the body’s tissues. Up to 18 percent of wound care patients may require HBOT treatments, provided by our specially trained physicians and highly trained clinical hyperbaric technicians and staff. Follow-up appointments After your initial visit, regular follow-up visits to evaluate your wound’s progress and to make any necessary treatment changes will be determined. You and your caregiver will receive instructions on dressing changes and information on how to protect your wound from further injury. If necessary, arrangements will be made with home-health nursing to provide this care. It is important that you keep follow-up appointments and follow the directions for your dressing changes carefully. If you have questions about your treatment plan, our staff will be happy to assist you.

Your initial appointment We accept physician-referred and self-referred patients. Please plan to arrive 30 minutes prior to your first appointment for registration. At your first visit, please bring: • A list of current medications and allergies • Insurance information • Any additional important information • Diabetic foot wounds • Post-operative wounds • Arterial wounds • Venous stasis ulcers • Burns • Traumatic injuries • Colostomy, ileostomy, and urinary diversion care • Decubitus ulcers • Wounds of unknown source • Venous stasis ulcers • Chronic and atypical wounds • Decubitus ulcers • Skin abscess • Surgical • Chronic venous insufficiency • Insect bites • Skin conditions such as hidradenitis supprativa and pyroderma gangrenosum

Kitchen Table W

hen working full-time, commuting for hours each day, and raising a family, parents may not feel like there are enough hours in the day let alone enough time to provide a home-cooked meal from fresh ingredients for the dinner table. Luckily for families in Haymarket, there is someone who understands how that feels and passionately strives to do something about it. During her years working as a personal chef for families, Anne Thomas noticed one common theme - working parents are too busy and too tired to make their own homemade, homegrown food to put on the table for dinner. She says these families, relied tremendously on carry out food because of their busy lifestyles, despite their desire to live healthful lives. Anne was inspired to find a way to offer families access to the nourishing food she cooked for her own family and built a career around cooking for others. Adamant about eating as much natural, non-manufactured food as possible, Anne raised her 4 children this way. The location of Haymarket, she says, was the perfect fit because it’s an

area that’s growing and expanding with busy professionals raising families while still retaining a small town feel. With inspiration, passion, and determination, Annie’s Kitchen Table was born and opened in June 2014. Anne supplies much of the produce for AKT from her own plantings on her 20 acres in Delaplane. Additional supplies of heirloom vegetables and nutritious local greens are sourced from local farms as well. Local naturally raised meats are also a feature of her restaurants’ upscale homestyle menu. The food is made from scratch with as many natural ingredients as possible, including bread and pastries are baked in the restaurant. Anne is determined to respond to the genuine needs of the people of Haymarket and offer wholesome foods that do not come from the earth, and not a box. In doing her best to provide healthy options, Anne also thinks about people with dietary restrictions or vegetarian choices and will often work to find healthy options for these situations as well. Stop in for a visit at AKT and be immediately welcomed into the quaint, little restaurant with the little

tables covered in white tablecloths. The chalkboard at the counter lists the specials of the day along with a Parisian quote that reads “never eat at a restaurant with more than 8 tables.” This quote was told by a customer and Anne feels it really describes their own little restaurant’s philosophy. The kitchen is the hub of activity and is open and in view of the tables. Customers can even sit right at the kitchen countertop on tall chairs or dine with a friend at one of the tables under the portico outside. It’s not surprising to hear staff members welcome visitors by name. The design is simple using black and white with a pop of red for color. The beverages are served in vintage-look glasses made of recycled glass. Photographs are framed and hung along the wall featuring market baskets full of fresh produce and farm food. In a fast paced world, this little humble restaurant maintains an atmosphere that is calm and comfortable. For breakfast, dine on fresh fruit, farm eggs and cheeses, savory pastries, belgian waffles, buttermilk pancakes or choose a real New York bagel or house baked croissant. The lunch menu features classic favorites like tomato

LIFTING YOUR

Spirits

WILLOWCROFT WINERY Shoppers at the Thursday Farmer’s Markets in Gainesville and Manassas will recognize the name of the oldest winery in Loudoun County and, by extension, one of the oldest wineries in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Willowcroft Farm Vineyards began over 30 years ago on an old horse farm just south of Leesburg by Lew Parker, who planted grape vines at a friend’s suggestion and against the advice of the Extension Service. As time went on and the success of Parker’s experiment proved the “experts” wrong, Loudoun County’s wine industry grew and thrived. Thirty years later, Willowcroft is still going strong as Parker continues to make quality wines and experiment with new varieties of

grapes. With the exception of apples grown in the Shenandoah Valley, all the wines are made from grapes grown in Willowcroft’s vineyards atop Mount Gilead. The plantings on their 15 acres of vines include Bordeaux varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, Chambourcin -- a French-American hybrid, and white wine grapes including, Chardonnay, Riesling, Albarino, Traminette, Vidal Blanc, and Seyval Blanc. In the tasting room, the winery’s 2009 Merlot displays a smooth, velvety texture that comes from a wine that is allowed to age gracefully. Willowcroft’s long history of attentive winemaking and cellaring allows them to regularly feature mature wines on their tasting sheet. The opportunity to taste and purchase a bottle aged wine allows visitors the ability to see the superb aging potential in Virginia’s red wines upon which Willowcroft has built its reputation. The Cabernet Franc has been described as being the perfect wine to

accompany dishes like Beef Stew or Pot Roast, as well as Pizza, Lasagna or any Marinara Sauce because of its rich finish. The Cold Steel and Reserve versions of Willowcroft’s Chardonnay, as well as the new and popular Albarino and the signature RieslingMuscat Ottonel blend have attracted numerous, devoted followers. With little room in white winemaking to hide imperfections, much of the credit for this devotion is due to the winery’s stringent monitoring of quality and hands-on oenology from vine to bottle. Kids, dogs and picnics are welcome to come and enjoy the spectacular view of the Loudoun Valley and Blue Ridge beyond or hike the forest trails. Check the winery’s website and follow them on facebook for updates of winery news and announcements of exciting events. ADDRESS
