from the

publisher From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of you on behalf of our team that creates the Haymarket Lifestyle magazine for the wonderful reception our inaugural issue received from the community. Haymarket Day was the pinnacle of the month for us as over a thousand of you stopped by our booth. We ran out of almost everything, including the five cases of red shopping bags we were giving away.

The business community is very united and diverse. The Haymarket Gainesville Business Association is a dynamic group that reaches out to all corners of western Prince William County. It is an all-volunteer organization that educates and connects the business community. If you have a business in the area, it would be worth your time to pay them a visit.

Historian and writer, John Toler, offers another great article on the history of this area. This month’s feature is about “Cloverland” a former grand estate that lay on both sides of Broad Run. The property dates back to 1724 and has documented history through the War of 1812 and the Civil War. It was once considered as a possible site for a racetrack and a landfill.

Local business and marketing consultant, Jamie Gorman of Sigma College of Small Business, brings the world of social media to our pages. Jamie is a terrific business advisor and teacher and we like that his office is right near Cupcake Heaven.

Sunny Reynolds is a noted area photographer and some of her recent photos of the Haymarket area are on display at the Fauquier Bank branch in Haymarket. The area landscapes are quite beautiful and we offer a sneak preview inside our pages.

The Prince William Chamber is a grand business organization that has commanded the attention of our government officials prompting meetings with Senators, Congressman and, most recently, Governor Bob McDonnell. The Prince William Chamber is committed to creating very good paying jobs by bringing responsible businesses to the region.

Finally, our restaurant review was quite a treat to write. We chose Zed’s because of the uniqueness of the food and the charming personality of Zed herself. Our experience at the restaurant was so good that our crew has been back two more times in a week. Thomas is such a great host and the food is magnificent.

Take a look inside. Tell us what you like.

Haymarket Gainesville Business Association

HGBA is Serving up a Blue Plate Special We like to encourage those who have taste, so this month the HGBA board voted to offer up a generous helping to area restaurants. Like most associations, our member fees are based on the size of the business: With the exception of nonprofits that can join for a flat fee of $30 annually, the number of employees determines your annual membership rate.

We understand that restaurants need to have an ample staff to keep their patrons happy and coming back for more. We also know this may fluctuate by season, day, and mealtime. Waitstaff is generally freelance. Six people are needed on one day and 16 the next. Which is the right number to use when counting employees?

So we at HGBA have extended a special offer to our area restaurateurs. When you join HGBA your annual member dues are only $120, regardless of size. We get around - HGBA changes the monthly meeting venues and caterers every month. Restaurant owners have been very generous, offering to cater our meetings. In return, we promote their business in our newsletter, at our meetings, on our website, and facebook page.

Now that makes more sense than dollars. To put your business on the HGBA menu, visit HGBA.biz and look for the blue plate on the home page. Instructions are online.

HGBA is a 501 (c) (6) non-profit all volunteer organization. We make that work for the membership through our board leadership and members that generously donate their time. From the new meeting venues each month to expert speakers, with HGBA you will get noticed, keep you informed, and feed your senses.

The HGBA is the fastest growing professional association in the area. Whether you are grooming the area pooches or grooming tomorrow’s leaders, we want to hear your story. Join us, and we’ll help you go places.

History

Haymarket’s ‘Cloverland’ and its people earn a special place in history

by John Toler The property known as “Cloverland” was once a 2,039-acre estate located just west of Haymarket on the Gap Road (Route 55), and lying on both sides of Broad Run. It was part of a land grant made by Robert “King” Carter in 1724. The property was later acquired by Charles Carter of “Shirley,” half-brother of Ann Hill Carter, who was the mother of Gen. Robert E. Lee. The main house at Cloverland was built in the late 1797

by Charles Carter’s son, Edward Carter (1767-1806), who died when a millrace he was building along Broad Run collapsed on him. The property eventually passed to his daughter, Mary Walker Carter.

In 1816, Maj. Thomas Turner (1772-1839) and his wife, Eliza Carter Randolph Turner (1782-1866) moved from King George County to “Kinloch,” the new home they had built west of Cloverland. Kinloch consisted of 2,252 acres purchased from Richard Stuart.

(Courtesy of Karee Miller) Eliza Turner was the niece of Ann Hill Carter, so the two families were related, as well as being neighbors. Indeed, three of Maj. and Mrs. Turner’s 12 children - Edward Carter (18161891), Marietta Fauntleroy (1812-1894) and Lavinia Beverley (1814-1892) were born at Cloverland, attended by the women of the Carter family.

About 1830, Mary Walker Carter married Commodore Bladen Tasker Dulany (1793-1856), the son of Benjamin and Elizabeth French Dulany, and a native of Alexandria. Even as a child, young Bladen was ambitious and focused; the family history recalls that age 16, he rode his horse from Alexandria to President James Madison’s home, “Montpelier” near Orange, to request appointment as a midshipman. President Madison gave him a commission in the U.S. Navy, and Bladen commenced a distinguished career.

Haymarket Lifestyle

During the War of 1812, Bladen Dulany served as a midshipman on the frigate U.S.S. Constellation, and participated in the Battle of Craney Island in 1813, where he was brevetted for bravery. He rose through the ranks, serving as a lieutenant on the frigate U.S.S. Brandywine in 1825.

When Gen. Lafayette visited the U.S. later that year, Lt. Dulany was chosen to serve as one of the general’s aides, “…since he was well-mannered and an excellent horseman,” according to the family history. Also along the way, he fought a duel with a party whose name has been lost over the years, but what is known is that the second for the other man was Stephen Decatur.

After their wedding, Bladen and Mary Carter Dulany lived at Cloverland, where in between the separations while Bladen was at sea they had three sons, Cassius Carter Dulany, Randolph Dulany and Bladen Tasker Dulany.

Mary Carter Dulany died about 1840, and Bladen, now a captain, married Miss Caroline Rebecca Nourse (1819-1893) in 1843. Known by her family as “Cass,” she was born in Pennsylvania, the daughter of Maj. Charles Joseph and Rebecca Wistar Morris Nourse.

The couple lived at Cloverland, but “Her married life must have been troublesome, since the Navy ordered Bladen to the Pacific in 1849, resulting in a long separation,” according to Records of My Family, by Thomas J. C. Williams.

“Certainly the difference in age and Plat of the property that comprised Cloverland shows its relationship to tales of wild goings-on in the Sandwich Broad Run on the southwest, Antioch Road to the north, and the railroad.

After being promoted to the rank of commodore, in 1850 Bladen purchased Mt. Alban, in Washington, D.C., the site of the present-day National Cathedral. Mt. Albans had once belonged to Joseph Nourse, his wife’s grandfather. The couple had three daughters, Rebecca (1846-1848), Phoebe Pemberton (1850-1885) and Rosa Romilly (1852-1879).

Planning to retire from the Navy, Bladen built a second country home on a tract of land east of Cloverland, that he called “Saints Hill,” intending that the property be passed onto his second wife and two surviving daughters. However, when he OctOber 2010

in all other respects… Is it not a pity that such a man would be willing to throw himself away? Make your young sons obey you, cost what it may, or you may have something of the same in our families. Entire indulgence has ruined more than cruel war will destroy for Virginia.”

After the war, Bladen applied for amnesty affirming the above, stating, “Since 1861, I have remained quietly upon my farms, and have had no participation, either directly or indirectly, in the rebellion.” Unfortunately, the three stepsons reportedly failed to make the required payments their stepmother, who re-acquired the property in the late 1860s and returned to Cloverland.

COMMODORE BLADEN T. DULANY (1793-1865)

Thomas John Chew Jr. (1845-1924), a native of Calvert County, Maryland, sided with the Confederacy during the Civil War. He and his father were captured by a Union force while on a sailboat in the James River, and were accused of trying to smuggle weapons to the rebels. Both were nearly hanged, until Dr. Samuel Chew, a relative high up in the Union military hierarchy, had them released.

died in 1856, Cloverland and Mt. Albans went to Cass and their daughters, while Saints Hill went to his oldest son, Bladen. Commodore Dulany’s will also provided that if the three stepsons wished to purchase Cloverland from Cass they could do so, provided that they made timely payments on the property to their stepmother.

After the war, Tom Chew went to Washington, D.C. to study law, and there met and fell in love with Miss Rosa Dulany.

“The romance was going well, but the intended’s mother (Cass Dulany) did not approve of a destitute Confederate as a son-inlaw,” wrote T.J.C. Williams. “She therefore took her daughters to Philadelphia, where her cousins were wealthy and socially The Dulanys and their related families were not spared prominent.” the suffering that afflicted Haymarket and the surrounding Tom Chew followed the family to Philadelphia, where he area during the Civil War. Living at St. Albans, Cass realized stayed with relatives at “Cliveden,” the home of the Germantown that because her family had owned slaves in Virginia, and Chews. “He told them of his predicament, and they assured that her younger brother Pemberton had been killed fighting him they wouldn’t let their cousin be treated in such a shabby on the Confederate side at the First Battle of Manassas, her way … and saw to it that he got invited to all social gatherings Unionist neighbors considered her a Southern sympathizer. As where young Rosa was expected to attend,” according to T.J.C. a result, Cass and the girls spent much time with relatives in Williams. “Thus in 1872, they were married.”

Tom and Rosa Chew returned to Cloverland, still a large Back in Virginia, young Cassius and Bladen joined Col. plantation, where they struggled to farm the property. They Richard H.

Carter Beverley (1847-1890), the daughter of Robert and Eliza Carter Beverley who lived nearby at “Avenel.” Again he had to endure great loss, as his new wife was fatally injured in a carriage accident in August 1890.

He was buried in Rock Creek Cemetery in Washington, D.C. Not long after her father’s death, Jeannette Claggett and her family, along with Tom’s sister Jane, moved from Cloverland to Baltimore, leaving the old homestead behind.

After Cass Dulany’s death in 1893, Mt. Alban was sold and the family’s financial condition improved. Tom became

Cloverland would leave the family, passing through the hands of several owners. By the mid-20th century, the main house was in poor condition, and was ravaged by termites and eventually torn down. The land was left fallow or put to agricultural use by its owners, but the property faced serious misuse twice. Cloverland was once considered for development as a racetrack, and later as the site for a county constructionwaste landfill.

In the case of the landfill, descendants of the Carter family, including the late Scott Carter of Warrenton, blocked the proposed landfill by locating the old graveyard at Cloverland, where at least Susan Baynton Turner Carter and John Hill Carter were buried. In order to keep the cemetery from ever being lost again, the family marked the corners with large stones.

THOMAS JOHN CHEW (1845-1924) a partner in a wholesale drug company in Baltimore (later destroyed in the great Baltimore fire), and the facilities at Cloverland improved. For a while, the Chews enjoyed living at Cloverland in the summer, and in Baltimore in the winter.

The year 1906 marked two marriages: Rosa Chew married Dr. Richard Claggett Williams (1879-1949), and Jeannette married Dr. Samuel Claggett (1873-1914). The daughters moved away, and Tom and his sister Jane Chew remained at Cloverland. After the death of her husband, Jeannette and her sons Sam, Tom and Dulany came back to Cloverland from Maryland to live with them.

“Grandfather (Tom Chew) was an active man, hunting and riding horseback until he was 75, and hunting from a buggy even after that,” recalled T.C.J. Williams. “He lived well, and his house always seemed to have vast amounts of food.

He served on the vestry of St. Albans in Washington, Christ Church in Baltimore, and St. Paul’s in Haymarket.”

Opponents of the landfill determined that the property could not be taken through condemnation, as the cemetery “existed prior to the chartering of the jurisdiction.” Initiating the action. Cloverland was saved by its 40 ft. by 40 ft. cemetery and the right-of-way leading to it, which had been deeded in perpetuity to the Carter family.

The possibility of future development of Cloverland was eliminated forever in 2003 and 2004, when the property (365 acres in Prince William County and six acres in Fauquier County) were acquired by Cloverland Farms LLC and put into permanent conservation easement through the Virginia Outdoors Foundation.

In recent times, its owners have leased the property for agricultural purposes, including cattle feed production and turf farm operations. But for the most part, all is quiet and will remain so at Cloverland, a place of many memories.

Author John Toler is a writer and historian and has served Fauquier County for over 50 years, including 4 decades with the Fauquier-Times Democrat. He has written and lectured about many legendary characters in Fauquier County’s history.

Toler is the co-author of 250 Years in Fauquier County: A Virginia Story.

Tom Chew died in 1924, while visiting the Williams family.

Social Media continued from page 12

Connecting with a Network Over the last 15 years I have been an employee of four different companies as I transitioned from Navy life. One resulted from weeks of classified searching, resume sending and interviewing and the other three came from people I know.

The point is that you are more likely to find better jobs that are more suited to your interests through the people in your network, and most experts agree that companies will find the best employees from the referrals of existing employees.

Social media is all about networking!

For those of us who struggle just to get a Christmas card in the mail each year, let alone call, write or visit with people we know from college or previous jobs, social networking is wonderful and efficient. I’m not suggesting that you replace your current face-to-face networking with a virtual one, only that

you use the tools available to connect and keep in touch with the people you have met. (Yes Mom, we’re still coming for Thanksgiving!)

Exhibiting your Expertise Let’s say I’m an employer looking for a program manager on a recently awarded technology contract. I’m comparing two resumes that seem to fit the job description. Because the resumes came through LinkedIn, I have access to each candidate’s online profile. Both of the profiles reflect the resumes with a little more detail, but one includes a link to the person’s blog. I take a look and find that the person has been posting five or six entries a year since they were in college. Some are about their hobbies golf and travelling, and others are about new methods for managing contracts, reviews on business books they’ve read and the direction of technology in our industry. None of these posts will win a Pulitzer, but they are readable and

demonstrate a level of experience and expertise. Which candidate are you more likely to call for an interview?

Blogging is a great way for any professional to exhibit their expertise.

Additionally, you can follow and comment on other people’s blogs, tweet the links of interesting articles and even put together some quick “how-to” videos to post on YouTube. It adds a boost to your resume, and you may even be able to build it to the point of being a leading online expert. As a leading expert, you can generate web traffic that may result in extra revenue, speaking invitations and even unsolicited job offers.

Building Relationships When building a strategy for using social media to market a business, we talk a lot about building relationships. You can do the same thing for your personal professional network. Think about the things that build a great relationship – frequent contact, listening, discussion and trust. Social media helps you do these things with people you can’t see every day and is a good supplement for the people that you do see frequently.

• Posting interesting aspects of your life helps make frequent contact.

• Reading other people’s posts and contributions is listening.

• Commenting and replying to posts and comments is a discussion.

• Following up, being consistent, adding value and posting an occasional professional accomplishment helps build trust.

Social Media continued from page 14

Several months ago I suggested to my daughter, a college freshman at the time, that she join LinkedIn and start a blog.

She made a few professional connections with friends and college professors and wrote a couple of blog entries about her summer adventures. Over the next few years as she studies, travels, meets new people and works, she’ll continue to add connections, build a solid portfolio of professional reference material and foster working relationships that will last. All of us can do the same thing in our profession so that when those critical points in our career arise, we are prepared with a good network and an online library that exhibits our expertise.

Once again, social media is a supplement that enables you to build relationships with hundreds of people daily, rather than the 40 or so that most of us can physically manage faceto-face.

Apply the Tools to Your Situation It is easy to become quickly overwhelmed with all the new social media tools available, so it’s important to focus first on the one with which you are most comfortable and can be most effective. Most experts recommend that you start with a LinkedIn account because it

the project

The Fauquier Bank has commissioned local award-winning photographer Sunny Reynolds to provide six photographs for its Haymarket, Virginia branch.

This is the second time The Fauquier Bank has turned to Reynolds for help in delivering a local feel inside its branches. Her photographs also are on display in the banks’ Bristow, Virginia location.

“The photos taken by Sunny that are featured in our Bristow and Haymarket branches capture the essence of the area very well, and enhance the look and feel we wanted these offices to have,” said Mark Debes, The Fauquier Bank’s senior vice president of retail banking and marketing. “Sunny Reynolds is truly a talented photographer.”

The Haymarket branch, led by Manager Amanda Atwell, encourages the community to stop by and view the photography.

“The Fauquier Bank uses talented local business people and artists, rather than run-of the-mill, massproduced art work, to help set the tone in their spaces,” Reynolds said. “It really underscores the bank’s commitment to the communities they serve.”

”

Landscapes are often simple visuals made exciting by exceptional light, forms, textures, color, reflections and angle of vision. It was my goal to find as many of these elements as possible.

I drove first toward La Grange Winery. Before I got there I was struck by light on a translucent green meadow with an iron gate in the foreground. I composed the image before I even get out of the car; though hundreds of people pass this spot daily without giving it a glance.

For the artist light is everything. It is not good enough to just see an imagine; I have to feel it. The light in this scene was exceptional and the texture of the mowed field with the gate leading the viewer into the picture made it perfect for this project.

I turned left out of the winery following my instincts. I discover a white barn with perfect symmetry, and an ancient stone well house covered in shiny ivy set against blue skies. I found a couple more worn fences twisting through the landscape that captured the texture and shape of an excellent visual.

Then the perfect morning light faded. There were no more good photographs to take. I’m asked often which of my photographers I like the best. Imogen Cummingham a photographer I admired said, “Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow.”

PRINCE WILLIAM CHAMBER

By: Andrea Whaley

The Prince William Chamber of Commerce Welcomed Governor Bob McDonnell Governor Talks Economic Development, Government Reform “Prince William is a dynamic community that has come into its own in the last several years,” says Prince William Chamber of Commerce Chairman Tim Jackson of MDA Technologies Group. “Both John McCain and Barack Obama made appearances here during the 2008 elections.

Now,

with the formation of the Prince William Chamber of Commerce, policy makers have a forum for reaching out to the business leaders of Prince William, discussing important issues and hearing directly from those at the front line of the economic recovery.”

The Prince William Chamber Chairman is not alone in this belief.

In recent months, the Prince

William Chamber has featured meetings or events where members have met with U.S. Congressman Gerry Connolly, Virginia Secretary of Transportation Sean Connaughton and Virginia Attorney General Ken

Governor Bob McDonnell was a guest a “Legislative Leaders Cuccinelli, who recently relocated his family to Western Series” in which 150 local business leaders attended.

Prince William County.

On Wednesday, August 25th the Prince William Chamber of Commerce was pleased to welcome Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell to Prince William County. The Governor was greeted with a rousing round of applause by more than 150 local business leaders during a “Legislative Leaders Series” breakfast sponsored by Micron Technology, Inc. The series, sponsored

by Washington Gas, connects members of the Prince William Chamber with political leaders from all levels of government, providing first-hand insight into issues that have an effect on businesses in Prince William. As the Chamber’s Advocacy Vision Sponsor, MDA Technologies Group also played an important role in making the breakfast with the Governor possible.

Over breakfast the Governor outlined his focus on issues close to the hearts of most business owners—economic development, jobs creation, transportation solutions and government reform. Governor McDonnell spoke of the Economic Development and Jobs Creation Commission, created by his first executive order and headed by Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling. Virginia currently ranks third in the nation for jobs creation, with 72,000 new jobs added in 2009, and at 7%, the Commonwealth’s unemployment rate is lower than the national average. McDonnell believes this rate is still unacceptably high, and that action must be taken to stimulate new jobs. Initiatives designed to generate employment include reductions to capital gains taxes, steps to open credit 22

Referencing his second Executive Order, the Governor spoke briefly on the formation of a Commission on Government Reform and Restructuring. “Everybody needs to look at ways to reign in government spending,” said McDonnell. He outlined three tactics for achieving reductions in government spending: privatization, consolidation and elimination. McDonnell pointed to his efforts to privatize ABC stores and revise public/private partnership rules as steps in the right direction.

three offices spread throughout the region. Local offices take the pulse of businesses in the surrounding area and provide needed access to business building resources, as well as a link to the community at large. The Chamber is particularly interested in continuing to nurture the businesses of Western Prince William, where retail and restaurant businesses are gaining ground and the medical community already has a strong foot-hold. Says Tim Jackson, “The businesses of Haymarket and Gainesville are a vital part of our Chamber and of unifying the business community and we are

where the locals eat

zed’s bistro

Delight for the Senses Walking into Zed’s Bistro & Wine Bar, we immediately felt like we had discovered a jewel.

It had been awhile since any of us had Ethiopian cuisine and the anticipation varied amongst our guests. The wide grin of Tom Wondemu, brother of owner Zed Wondemu, makes you feel welcomed and invited. The dining area is impeccably clean; the two year old location seems brand new. Authentic Ethiopian artwork that adorns the walls showcases another talent that comes from the horn of Africa.

The aromas begin to permeate your senses and pique your curiosity immediately. Ethiopian music takes you on your journey away from the roads, traffic and daily grind. Seeing the first plates of food come out of the kitchen will surely begin the salivation process and are a treat to the eyes.

Diners have the choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Inside the dining room is the option of a traditional Ethiopian seating area with one small woven table in the middle surrounded by woven stools allowing for everyone to eat from the same plate. We recommend sharing your food no matter where you sit.

Zed’s has been well known in the Washington DC area for 24 years since Wondemu first brought her unique cuisine to the city. Zed’s Bistro in Haymarket/Gainesville allowed her to bring her culinary delights to the northern Virginia suburbs, closer to many of her biggest fans while seeking to capture new diners.

The menu at Zed’s Bistro is an abbreviated version of the best dishes that are served in Georgetown. The food is slightly spicy and subtle although you can turn the heat up with a spoon from the bowl of Ethiopian chili powder called mitmita. The variety guarantees something for any palate including juicy beef tips, savory chicken and succulent seafood. As with all Ethiopian food, there is a wide selection of vegetarian dishes.

Traditional Ethiopian dining is characterized by the ritual of tearing off pieces of bread and using it to scoop up a mouthful of food from the center plate. The bread is called injera, a grayish, spongy fermented bread made from tef and barley. The bread is fermented for 3 days and the texture looks like an upside down pancake with tiny little pockets throughout. Those pockets come in handy when scooping up the sauces that you enjoyed so much in the first bite of each dish. Using the bread instead of utensils and eating food from the same large plate is a sign of friendship and loyalty between the diners.

All of the food is fresh, nothing is frozen at Zed’s. Here you will discover vegetables that are crisp and not overcooked. Every dish we had was done to perfection and nothing was over-seasoned. The Ethiopian cuisine calls for just the right amount of flavor to accent fine cuts of meat or garden fresh vegetables.

Popular dishes include Beef Zizil Tibbs, beef strips with the chef’s special red chili pepper sauce. Spicy, but not too hot. The heat doesn’t overpower the flavor of the meat. Next is the Chicken Infillay, seemingly the most popular item in our group.

Strips of chicken are sautéed with seasoned butter, onions and awazei, an Ethiopian red pepper sauce. The Godin Tibbs, Ethiopian style short ribs, are another item that folks return to have again and again.

We were thoroughly impressed with the cubes of Beef Segana Gomen flavored with spices and mixed with perfectly cooked collard greens. We never imagined this leafy vegetable could taste this delicious! The Shrimp Tibbs is a dish you could eat all day and seems to go well with everything. Our appetizer of Kaisa, a mild dried curd cheese was a unique treat.

Other delights included a cabbage and carrot dish flavored with ginger and garlic, red lentils spiced with red pepper sauce and fresh garlic and the yellow split peas.

We suggest you try Zed’s with your family or close friends so you can share as many dishes or, like we did on one visit, order a couple of sampler plates. You won’t be disappointed. Zed’s offers off-site catering, too.

Zed’s Bistro and Wine Bar is located in the Piedmont Center Plaza, 6850 Piedmont Center Plaza, Gainesville, VA. Call them at (571)261-5933.

Closed Mondays, Zed’s is open from 11:00am to 9:30pm Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday, 11:00am to 10:00pm Friday and Saturday.
