— The Story of Briyanna’s Arrival —

10 fingers.10 toes.

24 years in the making.

When you wait 24 years between pregnancies, you give yourself the chance to create the perfect experience for you and your baby.

And that’s exactly what Andrea Brown did. When she discovered she was expecting her second child, she interviewed physicians and toured a lot of hospitals.

Andrea immediately felt a connection with Dr. Thomas Myers, an OB/GYN at Fauquier. And she was very impressed with the facility, as well.

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

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

Claire Vanderwal

National Association of Realtors Real Estate Professional Assistant (REPA)

This month, we would like to introduce to you, our Real Estate Professional Assistant, Claire Vanderwal.

Claire’s introduction to real estate began shortly after high school. Claire began her real estate career training and working with another real estate company/brokerage in the Winter of 2005 before joining Joy Basher Downey at REMAX Regency as a Virtual Assistant. Claire left that firm after 8 months, when she married and moved, to Fort Campbell in Kentucky to be with her husband, Jason. Claire’s role is vital to the success of our office.

Claire handles a vast array of administrative duties, covering the telephones, responding to customer inquiries, inputting and setting up information for the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and uploading photographs, designing and preparing promotional flyers and handles our vendors, i.e., lawn service, tree service vendors, trashout/clean out crews, property preservation staff, i.e., mold remediators, air quality testers, home inspectors, pretty much anything needed in the office day to day to support, research and add value to our clients.” In a real estate business, we are constantly hit with the unexpected and learn to anticipate and navigate as advocates for our clients and minimize the stress on any issues. Claire earned her designation as a “Real Estate Professional Assistant” from the National Association of Realtors, NAR in 2009. When asked what she likes about her job, Claire said, “being virtual allows me to work from home and each transaction is different no matter what. We haven’t had one that’s the same!”

Deer love tulips so if you have to have them tuck them in a corner near the house where they might not find them. If you have only planted daffodils try some of the other fabulous bulbs that are available. Crocus, Snowdrops, Aliums, Anemones, and Hyacinths, give a wide range of bloom times, colors, and flower heights. Every year I plant over 500 bulbs and every spring I am so glad I did.

Just as clothing stores are putting out displays of coats and jackets in hopes that you will buy theirs first, you might also be seeing displays of spring bulbs. I would rather write about bulbs in October but I feel compelled to put out the cautionary word now. Do Not buy any bulbs in bags with pretty pictures on them and no way of seeing the actual bulb.

I’ve done it, gotten excited by the pictures and a great price, and ended up with a bag full of peat moss and little, dried up dead things. Always buy bulbs you can see, feel for firmness and smell for freshness. Bulbs need time to cure after they are dug around the end of July. Shipped early they haven’t had enough drying time and are much more prone to fungus and mold. Bulbs shouldn’t be planted in Virginia until late October, November anyway.

Are You in Need of a Mental Tune-Up?

by Michelle Kelley, LCSW

Going to counseling is a gift you give to yourself and others. It is a mental tune-up. We take our cars in for tune-ups. We take our children to their doctor and dentist appointments to prevent future problems. So why not get a mental tune-up?

I am a counselor and I go to counseling. I am quick to say that I do not have all the answers to my life’s challenges nor do I think I should just because I’m a therapist. I may need an attitude adjustment or help in viewing an emotional situation from a different angle. This not only helps me personally but it also helps me to be a better therapist. I know what it’s like to sit on the other side.

What is Counseling?

Counseling is a place where you can benefit from professional and experienced helpers. A lot of people go to counseling to have a safe, private environment in which to work through their issues.

Guess what? We all have issues. Learning to deal effectively with emotional and social issues increases a person’s chances for success in school, career, relationships and life.

Why do people go to counseling?

Some common reasons people go to counseling are for academic problems (focusing and concentrating), anxiety, depression, grief, stress management or relationship concerns such as break-ups, parental divorce, sadness and loneliness.

Is counseling confidential?

All counseling is confidential. No information is released to anyone without your written consent. The rare exception is when information is revealed about current or future harm to self or others.

Common myths:

1. Counseling is for “crazy” people. Going to counseling doesn’t mean you are crazy, but rather it is a sign of strength. It’s not easy to take an honest look at yourself, your relationships, your life and then have the courage to make changes. I’ve often said that the ones who need it the most will never enter a therapist’s office. But the ones who have to live with them often come in feeling desperate, confused, angry, sad or overwhelmed.

2. Counseling doesn’t work for me. This is the equivalent of saying that exercise doesn’t work for you. It can’t not work. You may need to redefine your objective for counseling. Counseling doesn’t change other people. It merely provides you with the opportunity

to gain insight into your thoughts, emotions and life situations.

When we change our thinking, our world will begin to change. The problem is we may not like the change. It may be scary and difficult but change allows us to grow. I believe all personal growth is for our higher good. It is important to remember that the counseling process is different with each counselor, for each problem and at each time in your life. So if you’ve tried it once and didn’t like it, try it again.

3. Counseling is too expensive. It really comes down to what you value and how proactive you are willing to be. I value good mental health. It allows me to have more peace and a higher quality of life.

I also value good physical health and that is why I go to the doctor for regular check-ups, watch what I eat and exercise regularly. I can’t tell you what should be important to you but I will strongly urge you to break through those invisible barriers which keep you from going to counseling. Don’t wait until it’s too late. I can’t tell you how many people end up in my office when their marriage is falling apart.

It is often too late to repair the damage and one or both parties want out. Come before you’re one minute away from leaving. I am a big believer in pre-marital counseling. How can anyone think that they can walk into a marriage without any understanding or tools to deal with issues (some obvious, some not). When I have a couple in my office for pre-marital counseling, I am going to delve deep into their relationship and uncover patterns of behavior and attitude and talk about their roots (usually childhood). I would rather a couple address some of the tough stuff while they’re still on speaking terms.

Many people use their insurance benefits to help reduce the costs of paying out of pocket for counseling. Don’t be afraid to ask a counselor if they will negotiate a lower fee. I often do this to accommodate a person’s financial needs.

My suggestion to you is to try some counseling. I did when I was in college and struggling. And I still go in occasionally for my mental tune-ups so why don’t you? If the problems in your life keep repeating, then it’s time for a mental tune-up. They say that the definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Counseling can help get you out of your rut and out of your comfort zone at times; but it’s all part of the process.

For more information about counseling or to discuss a particular concern, please contact me or another licensed counselor. If I can’t help you, I will find someone who can.

Michelle Kelley, LCSW, is a licensed counselor in Warrenton. She works with individuals, children and couples to quickly identify the issues at hand, uncover the roots and then deliver strategies and tools for creating hopeand change. “I believe that most people only need occasional mentaltune-ups and I specialize in assessing a personʼs situation to determine whether they need a few sessions or possibly a referral for long-term issues. When working with a client, I always start with the current situation.A client will always leave a session with valuable insight and informationand a feeling of hope”. Michelle has two daughters and she understands the pressures of life, relationships and work. She is passionate abouteducating people on how to improve the quality of their lives and relationships.

“Iʼm not the type to just sit and listen. I get involved.” For more information you can reach her at (540) 300-5879 or michelle@GirlsStandStrong.com

The Haymarket Woman’s Club

Promoting refinement, education and culture for 80 years

By John T Toler One of Haymarket’s enduring institutions is the Haymarket Woman’s Club, organized on Valentine’s Day 1931, and recognized by the General Federation of Woman’s Clubs of Virginia (GFWCVA) in May 1932. Over the past eight decades, generations of Haymarket women have actively participated in a wide range of projects contributing to the quality of life in the Haymarket community.

Today, about 25 women are members of the club, which usually meets on the second Tuesday of the month from September through June at the Hay Market Masonic Lodge No. 313 on Jefferson Street. Other times, the club meets at local restaurants and the homes of members.

In addition to the active members, the club has a number of Supporting Members, including women who were active in the club for as much as 50 years. These members

support the club financially, but also provide a living link to the rich heritage and traditions of the organization.

The Haymarket Woman’s Club is led by three presiding officers who serve fourmonth terms during the club year. Current president is Ruth Stierna, who will serve through September. She will be succeeded

by Carol Shelton (October-January) and Rosemary Schulz (February-May).

One of the oldest clubs in the GFWCVA Northern the District, the service goals of the Haymarket Woman’s Club have always been defined by the needs of the community.

In addition, the club has supported efforts made by the national organization, which over the years has fought for child labor laws, and legislation combating domestic abuse.

The club started in 1931 with just 12

charter members, whose “…daily lives were spent tending family, home, and yes, sometimes working alongside their men harvesting, fencing or doing other farm chores,” according to a club history prepared

by Ms. Ellen Wilson in recognition of the club’s 75th anniversary in 2007. “These were strong women born into a hard agrarian society who had a desire to bring elements of refinement, education and culture to their community and families. It has been said that the men tamed this country, and the women civilized it.”

The United States was in the middle of the Great Depression when the Haymarket Woman’s Club was founded, and the names of the charter members reads like a Haymarket “Who’s Who” of the early 19th century. Ms. Wilson notes that in those early Woman’s Club Continued on Page 10

Woman’s Club Continued from Page 8 days, it appeared that the Masonic Lodge was for the men, and their wives belonged to the Haymarket Woman’s Club.

Charity work was done, including making cash donations to persons and families in town found to be in desperate financial need. Often this was done with the goal of providing some level of support, so that children could stay in school, rather than have to go to work. The club also supported the local Soup Kitchen, another charity that marked the Great Depression.

At the organizational meeting held on Feb. 14, 1931 at “Winterham,” the home of Mrs. Wade C. Payne, officers elected were Mrs. J. Newton Kerr, president; Mrs. Ethel Terrill, vice president, Mrs. J.

It was voted that the club would appropriate community, and furthering the causes endorsed by the club, district $1 for making application for membership in the Federated and state organizations.

Election Day Tradition

Early community efforts Fundraising for projects aimed at providing for the community welfare began immediately, and included a Scholarship Loan Fund and donations to the Haymarket Library, which was on the second floor of the Town Hall (present-day Haymarket Museum). The Garden Committee also raised money to purchase shrubbery for the grounds around the Town Hall building, which the club later refurbished and used as their meeting place.

Shortly after Haymarket’s first library was established, the librarian acquired a single copy of Margaret Mitchell’s 1930s novel, Gone With the Wind. According to the club history, members reviewed the book, and found it “interesting.”

The following year, the Haymarket Woman’s Club began their longest-running community involvement and fundraising event, hosting a meal open to the public at the Haymarket fire hall on Election Day. According to a motion passed at the October 1936 meeting, “As the date of the Club’s meeting will be Election Day, it is agreed that we sell coffee and sandwiches throughout that day at Club headquarters.” Initially, the luncheon was intended to be a convenience for the voters, rather than a fundraiser.

This Election Day event evolved into an annual daylong luncheon and bazaar, attracting people from all over the area who stopped by before or after voting. As participation increased, the luncheon was moved to St. Paul’s Parish House.

The Haymarket Woman’s Club addressed public safety issues, including discussions on how to make the John Marshall Highway that passed through town safer, and requesting increased State Police A special feature of the Haymarket Woman’s Club Election Day Luncheon and Bazaar patrols. is the raffle of a fine quilt, handmade by members of the club’s Quilting Committee.

Other projects were tried, including Fall Festivals where handmade aprons, potholders and home decorations were sold.

After awhile, the festivals were incorporated into the eagerly anticipated Election Day activities.

“Local county politicians and state representatives always make a point of attending the annual Haymarket Woman’s Club Bazaar and Luncheon,” noted Ms. Wilson.

Money raised that day is used to fund the club’s nursing scholarship. This year, the club must seek a new location for their Election Day Lunch.

Adding to the Quality of Life Over the years, enhancing the appearance of Haymarket has been a priority of the Haymarket Woman’s Club. In addition to the early efforts to improve the Town Hall, in 1970, club members contributed $1,100 to landscape W. G. Tyler Elementary School, and provided both funds and labor for improvements to the town’s streetscape, earning a merit award in 1974, when Haymarket observed its 175th anniversary.

provides hands-on assistance for the school, funding and assistance with the monthly “Family Night” dinners and activities for the PACE West students and their parents during the school year Offered in a relaxed, fun atmosphere, Family Night activities include two Bingo Nights, a Wii Fitness Night, Game Night, Craft Night, and a Talent Show. “We have club members that are very dedicated to providing for Family Nights, and they get us all involved,” noted Ms. Wilson.

As Community Service Partners with the Prince William County Public Schools, Community Services, the club also has contributed food and clothing to needy students and their families at PACE West.

Other events that have been staged by

In recent years, the club added a Pancake Breakfast fundraiser on Haymarket Day, a large event for the whole town held in September.

Changes Brought by Growth Always maintaining its close ties to the original town, the Haymarket Woman’s Club has met in the upstairs of the old Town Hall, the Hay Market Masonic Lodge, or in the homes of members. In 2002, a fire severely damaged the Town Hall and destroyed some of the club records stored there. The women then met in St. Paul’s Parish House on Fayette Street.

When the parish house became St. Paul’s School in 2008, the women moved their meetings to the Hay Market Masonic Lodge, where they now hold their monthly meetings.

Becoming more diverse in recent years, club members are drawn from Gainesville, Bristow, Broad Run and other communities, as well as Haymarket. As more residents have moved into the new communities built around Haymarket, another woman’s club was established in Dominion Valley and federated by the GFWCVA in 2007.

The club provided the small park next to the Haymarket Museum, which has trees, a park bench and flagstone patio that According to Mrs. Stierna, honors many of Haymarket’s the bylaws of the club were Among those enjoying a Country Breakfast put on by the Haymarket outstanding citizens.

The Emporium Mulford Mediation

“Don’ t use them, I heard…..”

By Jessica Melander A few days ago, I received a letter from my car manufacturer informing me that my vehicle had a recall. The letter stated I should make an appointment with my nearest dealership and have them reprogram my torque converter, for no charge. Thanks corporate!

I called a local dealership in Manassas to set up the appointment.

After being on hold for five full minutes the following conversation took place:

A professional Mediation Firm Since 1990

Philip Mulford, J.D Warrenton VA 540-341-4615 Fairfax VA 703-222-0124

www.mulfordmediation.com

Dealership: Ummm…..Service isn’t picking up do you want to continue holding?

Me: May I leave a message for them?

Dealership: Ummm….I guess you could, but they don’t really like to call people back. I mean, they don’t ever return calls, you’d be better off just holding.

Me: Ok, about how much longer do you think I’d be holding?

Dealership: I don’t know. They aren’t picking up, they could either be with someone or in another room, or anything really, I can’t see them from here.

Me: I’ll call back, thanks Dealership: K. After that lovely conversation, I immediately called their competitor where I was greeted by a very nice gentleman, who gave me an appointment and my life back all in less than five minutes.

After that I told the story to a number of friends and family. All of which countered with their own customer service horror story.

We all have them, and we all talk. I have seen many of my friends or family members take these stories to Facebook and Twitter, or their blog. Being known for good customer service has always been important, and a bad experience would usually be told to a handful of people, but in this day and age it’s told to hundreds of people in a few seconds with the click of a mouse.

Once word gets out that your business has bad customer service, people won’t even bother to find out for themselves. They will most likely just remember what they heard from their son’sfriend’s-mom and will bypass you altogether. A co-worker once told me about a bad experience they had at a pizza place that had just opened up. A few weeks later, my mom suggested we try them for lunch, I told her the co-worker’s story and we chose another establishment. That was about a year ago, and the pizza place is gone now, I don’t know for sure that their bad reputation is what put them out of business but it wouldn’t surprise me.

Talk to your employees, especially the ones who will have contact with your customers, relay to them the importance of creating a respectful, polite and professional atmosphere for your customers.

Remember that people don’t just share the bad experiences; they also share the good ones. Which type of post would you like your business to be tagged in?

The HGBA is the fastest growing professional association in the area; we want to hear your story. From the new meeting venues each month to expert speakers, with HGBA you will get noticed and keep you informed. Join us, and we’ll help you go places.

The Power of a Thought

by Gerry Peters

If you are reading this you may be a small business owner who started your business a few years ago with big goals and even bigger dreams. It seems that you are not progressing as quickly as you had hoped. You are working harder and spending more time in the business. You also may be an executive or senior manager for a large company looking for ways to pull the business out of a slump but with lack of motivation or clear direction. Or, you could be someone who wants to start your own business but are hesitant to take the leap because of FEAR – False Expectations Appearing Real.

commonly organizes words, sequence, numbers, mathematics, and logic. The right brain is associated with rhyme, rhythm, pictures, music, imagination, and creativity. The brain also has conscious and non-conscious functions. The conscious functions include thinking and choosing, the source of the seed. The non-conscious functions run your personal biochemical system and your habits, routines, attitudes and beliefs; it must accept, it cannot reject, nor can it distinguish between real or imagined. So, when you create and transform your desire or dream using our conscious brain into a habit of thought performed by our non-conscious brain, your brain is the only force that can prevent making the dream a reality.

There are five “musts” to assure success in creating thoughts that will harness the power of your brain:

“How do I access unlimited abundance to make my dream a reality?”

Whichever circumstance, can you close your eyes and envision extraordinary success? Can you clearly see the lifestyle you want to achieve? How have you defined financial freedom? What kind of plan do you have for charitable giving? Can you feel yourself achieving success? How does your reality compare to your dream? What’s the gap between the two?

Once you have answered the above questions, your next question should be, “How do I access unlimited abundance to make my dream a reality?” The short answer lies within the power of a thought. The long answer is in the history of humanity’s quest to understand the universe.

John Assaraf, in “The Answer,” summarizes humanity’s quest as: Everything in the physical world is made out of atoms.

Atoms are made out of energy.

Energy is made out of consciousness.

In other words, everything in nature starts as a thought or an idea. Not to oversimplify, but an idea, like growing your business, is similar to a seed that grows into an oak tree. At first appearance and even internal analysis, the tree is not inside the acorn. Yet, once planted in fertile soil, the seed will draw all that it needs, nutrients, water, and sunlight, from the surrounding environment to transform that seed into a strong and fully formed tree.

What does this have to do with your business? Everything that you manifest in your life follows the same path, from idea to physical form, by turning that which we can’t see into that which we can. So you must become skilled at creating thoughts that will serve your dream, specifically, your business.

Rene Descartes said, “I think, therefore I am.” So, let’s take a look at thinking as it relates to the power of the thought. The human brain is the most complex, powerful machine in the universe. Many are familiar with the two hemispheres of intelligence. The left brain 18

You must find something that stirs your soul You must become excellent at it You must recondition your mind to believe you can have it and achieve it You must understand how to make money at it You must take daily action

The six step process is called neural reconditioning.

Step 1 – Create a new vision.

The first step is to create the perfect seed that has a picture of the end. This provides purpose that defines your life meaning. The vision is in the present tense. It is an emotionally rich and crystal clear description of your financial and business success. Make it worthy of your ambition – extraordinary.

Step 2 – Create powerful affirmations.

These affirmations must be bold, clear, positive, and stated in the present tense. It is critical to ensure that the declarations support that new vision to avoid mixed messages to the brain when replacing old beliefs. These are particularly effective when used to describe a particular belief that you want changed.

Step 3 – Develop emotional anchors.

Many of our strongest childhood memories are revived by a certain smell, sound, or taste. Emotional association with a belief is a technique called neural linking. Invoked emotion deepens the impact.

Step 4 – Prepare a portfolio of imprinting material.

Create imprinting material as a physical expression of your vision and affirmations that can nurture your non-conscious brain through your senses. It may include written, auditory, visual, and subliminal pieces.

Step 5 – Maintain a brief daily routine.

The previous steps and all the preparation are functions of the conscious brain. The reconditioning technique embeds these images onto the non-conscious through repetition. The technique requires reviewing the vision, affirmations and any imprinting material three times a day (waking, midday, before bed). It is best to do it at roughly the same time of day to invoke the body’s circadian rhythms.

Meditation can be used to prepare your brain to transition from the busy activities of the day to start achieving the things that really matter. The duration is not as important as long as it is done daily.

Of course, the more time that is dedicated to it, the more quickly your new vision and supporting beliefs will become ingrained.

Step 6 – Employ neurotechnology for reinforcement.

Technology has provided numerous tools that can be used to continuously stimulate your non-conscious brain. CD programs can be used to put your brain into a meditative state. iPods and MP3 players can play affirmations while jogging or driving. Subliminal audio and video recordings can play messages directly to the nonconscious without distracting the conscious focus.

Your success requires knowing that you can be as successful as you really want to be with preparation, commitment and action. It also takes replacing some deep-seated beliefs and bad habits with new beliefs and habits that connect an emotional relationship to what you really want to have. So, you must BE the person that will DO what is necessary to HAVE the things in life you really want.

Many focus on looking for how to build their business. The real key to building your dream business lies in the clarity and strength of the idea. The how will come after the vision and decision. Like Ford and Microsoft did, with the power of a thought you can change the world!

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS? THREE BATTLEFIELD STUDENTS DESCRIBE THEIR FRIDAY NIGHT AS A FOOTBALL PLAYER, CHEERLEADER AND BAND MEMBER.

photos by: rom8photography

By Austin Thibodeaux It’s time! Time for the Bobcats to go out and warm up for another exciting game this season. Our Quarterbacks and Receivers go out and run their routes as the other team approaches the field. The rest of our team anxiously waits inside, they gather themselves together to go out and warm up. When the entire team is out there, we each get hit with a rush; it is the combination of the music, the bleachers filling with fans and the look on the other teams face. Once warmed up, we take a walk back down to the school and gather around the coaches for a final pregame speech, which gets everyone fired up! We line up behind the band to walk up to the field. When the band goes out and our fight song is blaring, we surge through our spirit banner with an indescribable force. It’s game time.

Our two-a-days started August 1st, which seemed so late, yet so early.

Practice is the most fun because you just get to go out and play football. We might mess up, but we just keep moving forward. Sometimes the coaches yell at us, but they are just trying to help us improve which can make practice exhausting. This prepares us for the September 2011

game. If we practice well then we will play well. Our coaches do their best to make each of us play to the best of our ability. They accomplish this by teaching us what is right, pushing us through everything we do, and conditioning us with discipline. Practice is a place to make each one of us better.

Monday is the beginning of our workweek, we start by watching film during lunch and before practice. Each film features the team of the week and we focus on a strategy in order to take that team down. Specific days call for a breakdown of the team such as offensive plays and defensive plays.

Thursday arrives and everyone starts to get pumped for the lights on Friday night. It may only be a run through or full pads, but everyone is working hard in anticipation of the game.

Friday begins and we all wear our jerseys through the halls and classes for the day. Each passing minute approaches slowly as we try to keep our focus on the task at hand: school work. We see all of our teammates as we walk to classes and that reminds us how our day will end. We have a short break after school and we all come back to have a team

dinner, followed up with a few meetings to prepare for our game. These meetings are serious as they help us focus on our goals, steps and plays for the game.

Throughout the game, everyone gives 110 percent and there is no let up. The coaches are constantly reminding us of the goal for the game, to win. Each coach is responsible for the players they chose to put on the field and, in return each player is responsible for the task to be completed. So every play is run to it’s fullest potential by the choice of that player and that is why they are out on the field.

The post game routine is a bit simpler. After shaking hands with our opponents, we walk along our field to fix the divots that were made during the game. Once that is complete we walk back to the school as a team and wait for the coaches in the gym. The coaches assess the game quickly. As players we take in the acknowledgements as well as the corrections. Our gear is put back and we are ready to head home and rest up.

The following Monday we start from the beginning and it’s back to watching film.

By Julia Scott Friday nights in the fall are the highlight of every week. The feeling in the air at school as different, so much more intense, as you pass the cheerleaders with our uniforms on and the football players in their jerseys. At the end of the day, the cheerleaders, dance team, and drum line all hold a mini pep rally through the hallways to hype up the students. The ten-minute tour of the hallways makes us realize the football game is only a few hours away. At each home game, the bleachers are completely full of parents, students, alumni and all other members of the Haymarket community, anxious to watch our State Champion team do what they do best. The Den, always completely decked out, standing shirtless in the crowd even in negative degree weather— and ready to call out the referees for every bad call they make. Every time our Bobcats score, the stadium becomes a madhouse, fans screaming at the top of their lungs to show every ounce of support they have. The Battlefield football team has remained undefeated at home for four straight years and counting—the amount of adrenaline our crowd creates in our players must be a factor.

As cheerleaders, we have the best view 24

of the entire stadium—the sidelines.

Physically close enough to talk to the players, we can almost feel the adrenaline pumping as they’re called onto the field.

With every cheer that is called, our heart rates climb, nervous that we will mess up the moves in front of thousands of fans. Yet, the nervous feelings get instantly replaced with excited ones as the crowd flickers their eyes towards us, taking their eyes off the game if even for a second. Time-outs are a major stunting time, where the Battlefield supporters finally get to see how we cheerleaders really spend our time at practice. Their shocked faces after watching us nail a new trick is satisfaction enough for days.

Battlefield football games have enough energy to compete with any professional league game. To be able to participate in a huge event is rewarding, for every single cheerleader.

Cheerleading is a unique sport, while other sports are only one season long, cheerleading takes up most of the year.

Practices in early summer are relaxed and not mandatory, but come August 1st we’re back: practicing five days a week for two or three hours at a time. Watching just a single practice will show anyone

how serious we are about achieving excellence.

The commitment of every single Battlefield cheerleader is what drives our team. Every day, each and every one of us comes to practice fully dressed and on time, ready to work. The positive attitudes and willingness to grow and change as a team keep our practices focused on the prize: state rings. Of course, with almost thirty girls spending most of their time together, things get a little hectic sometimes. Yet we all manage to concentrate and continue to thrive on the big blue mat, and work together like the best of friends. For four straight months, it feels like all of our spare time is spent in the gym, practicing our routine over, and over, and over again.

But stepping out onto the competition floor, even though it’s just for two and a half minutes, makes every single second worth it.

While we live for competing, nothing compares to cheering your school’s football team to victory. And that, is what Battlefield cheerleading is all about.

PRINCE WILLIAM CHAMBER

Prince William Chamber Council Supports Future Leaders YPNOVA Provides Funds for Leadership Prince William Scholarship

(From left to right) Jamel Lavine and Charles Nicholson of Freedom Aquatic & Fitness Center team up with Jeanna Hilton and Jennifer Mott of Stonewall Golf Club to raise funds for the Young Professionals of Northern Virginia Leadership Scholarship. Hilton is the recipient of this year’s scholarship.

Those who frequent Stonewall Golf Club in Gainesville are sure to recognize the recipient of the Young Professionals of Northern Virginia (YPNOVA) Leadership Scholarship—Jeanna Hilton, Director of Sales at the club. The scholarship will provide Hilton with 50% of the tuition

cost for Leadership Prince William (LPW), an innovative, nine-month program that prepares existing and emerging community leaders for leadership positions in business, local government and community affairs.

YPNOVA, a council of the Prince William Chamber of Commerce, created the scholarship to fulfill its objective of engaging young professionals in the community and helping them to realize their full leadership potential.

Hilton, who describes herself as an “advocate for Prince William,” is active in the community, organizing toy drives during the holidays and hosting events for the Chamber and the Haymarket Gainesville Business Association. She also serves as an Ambassador for the Chamber, and is the founder of Women in Weddings Network, a networking group for women in the industry.

Hilton sees the scholarship as an opportunity to take her community involvement to the next level.

Andrea Whaley, Communications Manager for the Chamber and liaison to the Council said, “The YPNOVA selection

committee chose Jeanna because of her proven commitment to the community and the Chamber, both personally and professionally. The committee sought to show the best of what our Chamber’s young professionals have to offer, and Jeanna represents that.”

“A partnership with Leadership Prince William is the perfect tool to provide young professionals with an outlet to network, learn, grow and shine. It is a tremendous way to invest in the future of this community,” added Jessica Melander, Legislative Assistant to Delegate Jackson H. Miller and Chairman of YPNOVA. YPNOVA held a series of innovative fundraisers for the scholarship, including a progressive dinner in Old Town Manassas and a putt-putt golf tournament at Broad Run Golf & Practice Facility. The group meets monthly for networking mixers and also holds a quarterly Learn from a Leader event where YPs can learn from seasoned professionals and legislators.

A food pantry is not a new idea. But the Haymarket Regional and demands.

Food Pantry is far more than just a food pantry. In a time of stress, Not only is the Food Pantry open to Haymarket residents, it truly is unemployment, money worries and fear it is a beacon of hope to those open to anyone who comes in for help. Some minimum information is in need and an inspiration to those more fortunate.

It’s that time of year again – children often dread it and parents can’t seem to wait for it. Yes, it’s back to school time. Now instead of heading to the store to buy swimsuits, beach bags & sunscreen – we’re looking for pens, pencils, paste, paper and something to carry around all of those supplies. A backpack is often included on the “Back to School” shopping list.

Having children of my own, I know for a fact backpack selection often hinges on whether or not Sponge Bob Squarepants or iCarly are prominently displayed for all to see. Backpacks, like many things have become an outlet of personal expression.

While this is certainly understandable, many other factors should come into play when selecting and using a backpack.

Read on to learn tips that will help your students avoid acute and chronic injuries as a result of their backpacks.

First, to be clear backpacks themselves do not cause injury. Rather it’s the improper use of backpacks that frequently result in injury.

Quite frankly backpacks can make hauling around school books and supplies a bit more manageable. In fact, when worn correctly and not overloaded, backpacks are designed to take advantage of some of the strongest muscles groups in the body 30

and hold the body in proper postural alignment.

Yet every year in our clinic we see students who come in complaining of neck pain or back pain of “unknown” origin. After taking a history and often doing a bit of digging our therapists identify an overloaded or improperly loaded backpack as the culprit. A recent study conducted by Shelly Goodgold, PT, an Associate Professor of Physical Therapy at Simmons College in Boston, found that 55% of children carried backpack loads heavier than 15% of the body weight. The 15% of body weight guideline is the gold standard recommended by most experts including pediatricians, orthopaedic surgeons and physical therapists. Nevertheless, some children carry packs well in excess of this benchmark which, should be cause for concern provided the vulnerability of youths’ musculoskeletal systems during these growing years. In addition to the 15% of body weight guideline, look for the following signs that your child’s backpack may be too heavy: 1. Your child has pain when wearing the backpack 2. Your child experiences numbness or tingling in their arm(s) 3. Your child develops red marks on their shoulders

To minimize the incidence of injury and make the most of the use of a

backpack this upcoming school year, we recommend that in addition to picking your favorite color or character you consider the following: • Look for a padded back and padded shoulder straps to reduce pressure on the child’s back and shoulders.

Too much pressure can cause pain and tingling in the neck, arms and hands.

• Look for a pack that has a waist belt to help distribute some of load onto the pelvis.

• Look for compression straps on the side or bottom of the backpack that when tightened compress the contents of the backpack and stabilize the items inside.

Backpack continued from page 30

• Contain reflective material so that the child is more visible in those early morning or evening hours.

• While Backpacks with wheels may be a good option for some children, be sure to check with your school to ensure they are acceptable. A good wheeled backpack should have a long enough handle so your child does not have to twist and bend. However, there is a downside. That long handle can represent a tripping hazard in a hallway full of students. Also, keep in mind that getting a wheeled backpack up and downstairs may represent a problem.

Now that you’ve taken care to select the right backpack ensure that you and your child know how to properly use the backpack. Keep the following in mind when loading the pack:

• Wear BOTH straps. Wearing a pack slung over one shoulder can cause a child to lean to one side, curving the spine and resulting on pain or discomfort. Wearing both straps will help distribute the weight evenly and keep your spine in proper alignment.

• Adjust the shoulder straps so that the pack fits snugly on your child’s back. A pack that hangs too loose can pull the child back and cause muscle strains.

• If you purchased the pack with a waist belt, use it. Again, this helps distribute some of the weight onto the pelvis.

• The bottom of the pack should rest on the curve of the lower back. The pack should never rest more than four inches below the child’s waistline.

All in all, backpacks remain one of the best ways to tote

It’s worth repeating that your child’s backpack should weigh no more than 15% of their body weight. If you take

only one item

away from the

article, this is it.

• It’s worth repeating that your child’s backpack should weigh no more than 15% of their body weight. If you take only one item away from the article, this is it.

• Load the heaviest items closest to your child’s back (the back of the pack).

• Arrange books and materials so they won’t slide around inside the backpack. This is where those compression straps mentioned above come in handy.

• Check what your child carries to school and brings home.

You’d be surprised what some kids will take back and forth to school. Be sure the items are necessary for the day’s activities.

• If the backpack is too heavy or too tightly packed, it’s okay to hand carry a book or other item outside the pack.

Finally, now that you have selected the right backpack and loaded it properly, the only thing left to do is to take care to wear it properly throughout the day. Sure it might not “be cool” to wear it properly, but your body will thank you for adhering to these guidelines:

32

items to and from school and when used correctly the benefits certainly outweigh the cost. Thus, take care in selecting a backpack at the beginning of the school year and using it correctly throughout the year. The only “pain in the neck” you’re child will have to worry about this school year is passing those SOLs.

raditionally restaurants prefer to pair foods together that complement one another like chicken wings and beer, pasta and wine or steak and potatoes. A small shop in the heart of old town has unconventionally paired together two classics: sandwiches and sundaes.

Haymarket Delights duo of hearty sandwiches and playful ice cream concoctions just might be the new eggs and ham.

This family friendly restaurant welcomes its customers with a long and narrow counter topped with brightly colored cookies, lollipops, sprinkles, candy pieces, dipped cones and chocolate bars all reminiscent of a cheerful ice cream boutique. Delicate sugary scents and wafts of seductive sandwiches dance through the room, daring your taste buds to make the hard decision of sweets before sandwich or sandwich before sweets?

Haymarket Delights has 15 spectacular sandwiches that will overcome any craving or hunger. They offer simple cold cut sandwiches like Turkey & Cheese with turkey breast, swiss, a Chicken Salad Sandwich with fresh chicken salad, and a Veggie Sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and pickles. Hot and toasty filling sandwiches like the Beef BBQ with coleslaw and the Steak and Cheese with provolone on a sub roll will make you reevaluate your sandwich standards. A customer favorite is their New Yorker, hot corn beef, hot pastrami, swiss, cole slaw, thousand island dressing all piled 34

s t h g i l De on rye bread. All of their sandwiches are under 10 dollars and come with a side and a beverage.

In addition to their featured sandwiches, Haymarket Delights offers a full menu with soups in the colder months including chili, daily salads like their Chicken Salad with fresh crispy lettuce, tomatoes and onions, and Signature Selection items like their Fish and Chips or Chicken Tenders with Fries. Their menu has one surprise, a Mediterranean flair featuring homemade hummus with chickpeas, tahini sauce, garlic and lemon juice and their Falafel Sandwich with tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, and tahini sauce all on flat bread.

A favorite is their Beef, Lamb or Chicken Gyro topped with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and gyro dressing all on flat bread.

Treat yourself to a kiss of sweetness from their Hershey’s Ice Cream bar. There are a variety of flavors and toppings to easily add pizzazz to any cone, shake, smoothie or sundae! They also have a wide selection of baklava.

Haymarket Delights is located at 15111 Washington Street #113, between Melanie’s Florist and Mark B. Miller of Edward Jones. They are open Monday through Saturday 11am to 7pm and Sunday 12pm to 7pm.
