rue, the item you’re holding is a magazine, not a book. And while we know Lifestyle isn’t your best friend, we like to think we’re a close friend, the kind of close friend you trust to introduce you to the best your community has to offer. That’s our goal every month – to bring you the best places to explore, sights to see, tastes to try – and never is that commitment more evident than in this, our annual Best Of issue. Inside you’ll find page after page of individuals, services, and businesses you voted Best of 2018. Many, like Awesome Smiles Dental Center in Haymarket, have been your favorites for several years. Others, like Lyrique Dance in Gainesville, are enjoying their first turn in the spotlight. To all of this year’s Bests, we offer our heartfelt congratulations. And to all of you who took the time to vote, we offer our sincere thanks. Because of you, the 2018 Best of Haymarket/Gainesville competition saw a 100% increase in voting over last year. It’s my hope that you’ll hold onto this issue and make a list of the “bests” you’ve never been to, used, or tried, and give them a shot. You might just discover you like them best, too. Oh, and while you’re in list making mode, why not jot down the back to school stuff your kids and grandkids are going to need in no time? To help you get started, check out Back to School on a Budget. Your students will love the up-to-the-moment styles. Your wallet will love the savings. We’re honored to be the close friend you count on for this kind of information and more, and hope the rest of your summer is the best!
Yours,
SUSAN McCORKINDALE

BEST ICE CREAM
Cookies & Cream For a business that’s been open just two years, it’s safe to say that Cookies & Cream is doing pretty well for itself. Between its premium hard-serve ice cream, soft cookies, and specialty sodas, it offers sweet treats for every kind of sweet tooth. “I think that we kind of found a niche where we serve hard-serve ice cream. I think it’s kind of classic and traditional, and not a lot of places are doing a hard-serve ice cream anymore. So, it’s kind of something unique in our area. And our homemade cookies, I mean who doesn’t like a frosted cookie? And then we also serve our signature drinks, which are new to our area, and they’re a different

option,” said owner Robyn Candland. Robyn and her husband Pete Candland actually got the idea for the business by visiting college towns in Utah. “We saw these little stands in college towns, these small footprints in parking lots, where they just served cookies and drinks. And cars were lined up around the block to get into these places, and they were just little drive-

thrus! And I thought, wow, that’s such a fun idea, you just grab a little snack and off you go, and so that’s kind of how we started the idea,” said Robyn. Cookies & Cream is a popular spot for families and teenagers alike, bringing everyone together to revel in the creamy deliciousness it serves daily. “I tell people all the time that if I didn’t work there so much, this is a place I’d take my family to and hang out,” laughed Robyn. From the second you walk inside the little blue house, you know you’ve made a good decision about where to get your sugar fix. And, after you order, a server delivers your treat straight to your table, either inside or outside on the beautiful patio where picnic tables await and strands of bright lights glisten. Oh and let’s not forget that Cookies & Cream offers the perfect spot for an ice cream selfie. Strike a pose with the bear statue out front, and snap away. According to Robyn, the bear started its life as a beautiful tree that had to be taken down because it had been struck by lightning multiple times. “We just had this giant tree stump, in the front, and we wondered, ‘How can we incorporate this?’ The guy who carved him helped us come up with the idea, and our employees helped name him. His name is Clawford H. Bearover, and Bearover is in honor of the Harover family who owned the house before it was sold to the town of Haymarket.” In terms of community involvement, Cookies & Cream is all about spirit nights. Explains Robyn, “We’ve had church groups, non-profit groups, schools, and swim teams. It’s a lot of fun. The groups publicize the evening and get involved by providing volunteers who deliver orders. Plus they get 20 percent of all the sales we do during the event. Spirit nights are a great way to support the community and they’re also great advertising. Groups bring their people to us and they get to see what we offer. It’s a win-win.” Discover for yourself why Cookies & Cream was voted best ice cream shop for 2018. Pay them a visit at 14600 Washington Street in Haymarket. For more information, visit CookiesAndCreamShop.com, and keep up with specials and events on Facebook at @CookiesAndCreamShop.

BEST BREAKFAST PLACE
Hidden Julles Haymarket Maybe you’ve heard of Hidden Julles, or maybe you’ve just seen its beloved Rambler (aka, its food truck) at an event. Either way, if you’ve yet to check it out, you’re missing out. There’s a good reason Hidden Julles was named best breakfast place this year and it’s this: Hidden Julles is completely committed to freshness. Every item on its menu is made fresh using natural and organic ingredients. When asked about about why he thought it was important to offer such fresh and organic options, owner Aaron Lynch said, “Whenever I thought about opening a restaurant, I thought, ‘I want my kids to be able to eat this.’ Honestly, a lot of people around here eat only fresh and organic foods, and it’s hard to find places comparable to how people eat at home, so I set out to do that.” In addition to its tasty smoothies, juices, lunches, and of course breakfasts, Hidden

Julles’ menu includes vegan and paleo selections, and the staff is happy to adjust any item in order to make it paleo or gluten-free. Conveniently located in the heart of Haymarket, Hidden Julles is renowned as much for it’s delicious fresh foods as it is for having the area’s first and only food truck - the aforementioned Rambler - which is used to deliver the cafe’s popular dishes to weddings, special events, and business lunches. With all the love the community has for Hidden Julles, it’s no surprise people want to introduce others to the cafe. And one of the best ways to do that, if you can’t come in of course, is simply to reserve the Rambler! One of Hidden Julles’ major goals is to be as local possible. Not only do they source their food locally from places such as Whiffletree Farm, but they also stay local for other services. “I use local vendors, not only

for our products but for insurance, accounting, things like that,” explained Lynch. Recently the cafe added weekend hours during which it serves dinner. Said Lynch, “We wanted to test the dinner menu and decided to do so on weekends. To be open for 14- or 15-hours a day is a lot on the staff. But ultimately our goal is to be open seven days a week.” So if you’re looking for a place where you can get anything from juice to a sandwich to some stuffed french toast, and you live in the Haymarket/ Gainesville area, give Hidden Julles a try. Located at 14950 Washington Street in Haymarket, stop in and taste for yourself the reason it’s this year’s best breakfast spot, and check the Facebook page at @HiddenJullesHaymarket for daily deliciousness updates.

Readers let us know that GainesvilleRx Pharmacy is their preferred prescription for all their pharmaceutical needs by voting it best pharmacy of 2018. The family-owned pharmacy offers first-rate services in a traditional retail pharmacy setting, and sells everything from over-the-counter and prescription medicines, to medical supplies and nutritional supplements. In addition, and maybe most importantly, GainesvilleRx is what’s known as a compounding pharmacy. For those unfamiliar with the practice, compounding medicine is personalization of prescriptions in which individual ingredients are mixed to the exact strength and form of dosage that is best for the patient. Owner and Pharmacist Pal Kahlon said on compounding, “Some medication is not available on the market as a commercial product, so we have to make it, and when we do, the medication is precise to the patient’s needs.” GainesvilleRx has a clear commitment to customer satisfaction, even delivering prescriptions to homes for free, which can be convenient for parents with small children or those who are ill or who have just had surgery and cannot drive. Its staff is also always available to answer questions, make recommendations, or help find what a customer is looking for. As for general recommendations, Kahlon said, “Everybody should use probiotics once a day. I do it.

BEST LAWN CARE AND GROUNDS MAINTENANCE COMPANY
Cornerstone Landscaping

{ AUGUST 2018 |
HAYMARKET LIFESTYLE
}
Established in 1997, Cornerstone Landscaping set its intentions on creating professional quality landscape designs. Over 20 years later, it’s doing just that, according to your votes. Cornerstone offers landscaping services to meet each individual need and budget, from butterfly gardens to waterfalls, patios to ponds. Cornerstone Landscaping refers to itself as a, “designbuild-maintain company” and this is the perfect way to describe what it does. It offers endless possibilities, because each design is made specifically for each client based on lifestyle, budget, and personal taste. Whether it be phased installations or full installations, Cornerstone is there to do as little or as much as you want. Owner Terri Aufmuth is well-loved by all her clients, and is known for not only her warm and accommodating personality, but also for the amazing designs she creates for every client that walks through her door. She personally manages every project, along with an experienced and qualified crew, so you know your landscape is in good hands. She says the most important quality in any worker is a commitment to learning new techniques and improvements in the industry, which makes sense, as especially in the design world trends are always changing. So how does the process work? Well, according to Terri, “I begin each design after a careful question and answer session with the client about their likes, dislikes, color and texture preferences, maintenance expectations, site conditions and their ultimate expectations.” After she figures out what the client is looking for, she adds, “I take
all the information gathered at the initial appointment and carefully put together a plan that meets the client’s needs, expectations, and budget, and create a phased approach of the work to be installed as it makes the most sense for the project.” Projects can take anywhere from 5 to twelve days, depending upon the elements involved. However, Terri’s favorite ones to do are the simple patios with seat walls and fire pits, “because we know within a 5-7 day time frame a family will be making memories with a space we created.” Cornerstone Landscaping is also a proud member of several professional associations, such as the Virginia Nursery and Landscape Association and the local Chamber of Commerce. On her community involvement, Aufmuth says, “We are members of the Haymarket Gainesville Business Association, whose tagline is ‘where business meets community’ and we firmly believe this. We support local swim teams, such as the Braemar Blasters. We are members of 100 Women Who Care in Gainesville, and the IMPACT Club of Northern Virginia. We support PACE WEST, and our founder is a member of the Gainesville Haymarket Rotary Club, Keep Prince William Beautiful, and The Novant/UVA Foundation Hospital Board. Cornerstone Landscaping supports these and other non-profits in all its activities.” Cornerstone Landscaping can be contacted at (703) 754-2843, and you can find them online at www. cornerstonelandscape.com or on Facebook at www.facebook. com/Cornerstone-LandscapingInc-232537656812707/.

New places through old books Books can take you on new adventures, but no one said the books have to be new BY EMILY CHILDRESS
P
icture this. You’re a viking, getting ready for a battle, and you’re polishing your shield as you look out over the misty Baltic Sea. Or maybe you’re a young woman in the nineteenth century, dressing up as a man to sneak out each day and work to support your family. Now you’re sipping a nice glass of wine in Paris, now you’re running across a battlefield, now you’re attending a school for wizards, now you’re hurtling through space at over 17,000 mph. That is the power of books. They can take you to new places, at new times, with new people. But with all the new adventures that books bring, who said the books have to be new? In fact, ask almost any book connoisseur and they will tell you there is nothing better than the smell of an old book, bound in leather with parchment pages. While leather-bound parchment is not readily available on the market, used books are. Read on for the nearest places to get your used book fix, and for a low price, too.

Gleanings from the Bible
Ruth 2:2
Life & Building The Bible, from beginning to end, is a story of “life and building.” In the opening pages of the Bible, we see the tree of life, which is available for man to receive, and the river of water of life which contains materials for building—gold, bdellium, and onyx stone (Gen. 2:9-12). The matter of building is present throughout the Old Testament. In Exodus God gained a group of people and erected His tabernacle (ch. 40). In 2 Samuel David established God’s kingdom for God to reign (chs. 6—7). In 1 Kings, Solomon built the holy temple and the holy city. When the building of the temple was finished, God’s glory was manifested in the temple (8:11). Furthermore, God’s authority was in place, and His will was carried out. Even the work of the enemy was focused on damaging the building, destroying the walls around Jerusalem, burning the temple, and carrying God’s people into exile at Babylon (2 Kings 25:8-21). After seventy years of captivity, some of the children of Israel returned from Babylon to Jerusalem to rebuild the holy temple and the holy city (Jer. 25:11; Ezra 1:1-6; 6:13-15; Neh. 6:15-16). When Nehemiah was rebuilding the holy city, the enemies around the city rallied their strength to destroy the building (2:19; 4:1-8; 6:1-9). This shows that God’s building is the center of His work in the Old Testament. In the New Testament the Gospel of John particularly stresses the issue of life and building. Chapter 1 of John’s Gospel is an introduction to the Lord as life, and chapter 2 shows that the Lord Jesus changes death into life for the building up of God’s house: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up” (v. 19). The Lord Jesus was speaking of the temple of His body (v. 21), meaning that He would build up God’s dwelling place, His temple, in resurrection. The temple of God that the Lord spoke of is a spiritual temple; it is the Lord Himself and all those who have received God’s life and who have been made alive in His resurrection. Hence, the central thought of the Gospel of John (as well as the Epistles of John and Revelation) is that God has come to be man’s life so that He can build those who receive Him and enjoy Him into His eternal habitation. Also in the New Testament Gospels the Lord prophesied in Matthew 16:18, “I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Life and building are the central work that God is doing in the universe. He wants to enter into us to be our life and to build us up as His eternal dwelling place. Paul also stresses life and building in his Epistles. In 1 Corinthians 3:9, the apostle writes, “We are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s cultivated land, God’s building.” The cultivated land is the believers, in whose hearts the seed of life is planted and grows with the growth of God; this is altogether a matter of life (Matt. 13:24; Mark 4:4; 1 Cor. 3:6). God’s building is also the believers, who are built together into the dwelling place of God; this is a matter of building (Eph. 2:22). Paul continues this thought by writing, “If anyone builds upon the foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, stubble” (v. 12). Here gold, silver, and precious stones signify the various experiences of Christ in the virtues and attributes of the Triune God that are constituted into the believers. It is with these that the apostles and all spiritual believers build the church on the unique
foundation of Christ. Gold signifies the divine nature of the Father with all His attributes; silver signifies the redeeming Christ with all the virtues and attributes of His person and work; and precious stones signifies the transforming work of the Spirit with all its attributes for God’s building. Accordingly, the riches of the Triune God are dispensed into the believers as life through regeneration and by the growth in life the believers are renewed and transformed into precious stones for God’s building (1 Cor.3:18; Rom. 12:2; Eph. 4:23; Titus 3:5). The apostle Peter also stresses this central thought when he wrote, “You yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house into a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ” (1 Pet. 2:5). By describing the believers as living stones who are being built up as a spiritual house, Peter eloquently crystalized the central thought of the Bible-life and building. Every believer has been predestined to be a stone, and our destiny is to be living stones built up as the spiritual house of God! The seeds of life and building that were planted in Genesis and that grew and developed in both the Old and New Testaments are ultimately harvested in the book of Revelation. In the concluding pages of the Bible and of the book of Revelation, we see again the tree of life and the river of water of life (22:1-2), signifying the processed and consummated Triune God within a built-up city, the New Jerusalem. The New Jerusalem is a city of pure gold (21:18) with gates of pearls and foundations of twelve precious stones. John told us that Revelation is a book of signs (1:1). The city being of pure gold signifies that the city is constituted with God the Father’s divine nature as the element from which the city is produced; the pearls signify God the Son’s redeeming death and life-imparting resurrection through which entrance to the city is granted (21:21); and the wall and foundations of precious stones signify God the Spirit’s work of transforming the redeemed and regenerated believers into precious stones for the building of God’s eternal habitation. In the garden in Genesis these materials merely existed, whereas in the city of the New Jerusalem they are built up together into a city for the fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose, which is to have a corporate expression. God’s work of life and building throughout the ages will consummate not in a material, lifeless city but in the greatest and final sign, the New Jerusalem, which is a living composition of all the redeemed, regenerated, transformed, and glorified people of God throughout all generations! “Gleanings from the Bible” is a seven-part series contributed by a local Christian home meeting group that loves the Lord Jesus, believes that the Bible is God’s Word, and cares for the oneness of the Body of Christ.

THE PNEUMONIA VACCINE Who should get it and when? BY ASHTON MILLER NOVANT HEALTH UVA HEALTH SYSTEM
P
neumonia is a leading cause of people checking into hospitals across the United States. In fact, one out of every 20 adults who gets it will die. But two pneumonia vaccines can protect those most vulnerable to the illness. During August, National Immunization Awareness month, shedding light on the importance of pneumonia vaccination can save lives. Dr. Victoria Hammonds, a family and geriatric medicine provider at Novant Health UVA Health System Bristow Run Family Medicine – Stonewall in Gainesville, explains details about who is at risk for pneumonia and how they can benefit from the pneumococcal vaccine. “Two groups of people need to get the pneumonia vaccine – generally, all adults over the age of 65 and people under the age of 65 who smoke or have certain chronic illnesses like asthma, diabetes or heart disease,” Hammonds said. Pneumonia is an infection of one or both of the lungs caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or chemical irritants. It is a serious infection or inflammation in which the lungs’ air sacs fill with pus and other liquid. According to the American Lung Association, pneumonia is a common complication of respiratory infection – especially the flu. “Despite being preventable, pneumonia can very rapidly become a life-threatening illness and adults 65 and older are at greatest risk as aging

starts to change the immune system,” Hammonds said. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and undernourishment can also raise your risk. “The current recommendation for adults who don’t smoke or have chronic illness is to receive the Prevnar 13 vaccine at age 65,” Hammonds said. “Once they receive the Prevnar 13 vaccine, it is recommended they receive the second pneumonia vaccine, Pnuemovax23, 12 months later.” Unlike the flu vaccine, there is no need for an annual vaccination. It is also recommended that those under age 65 who smoke or have a certain chronic illnesses should receive the Pneumovax23 vaccine at the time a chronic illness is diagnosed. Hammonds said once these patients reach age

65, they should follow pneumonia vaccination guidelines for adults over 65. “These vaccines are effective,” Hammonds said. “They prevent people from getting pneumonia, and help save lives.” In addition to being vaccinated, there are also steps you can take every day to help prevent respiratory infection: • Steer clear of cigarette smoke • Wash hands often • Clean frequently touched surfaces • Use a tissue, your elbow, or sleeve when coughing and sneezing • Manage conditions like diabetes, asthma, and other illnesses Are you at risk for developing pneumonia? Talk to your primary care provider about the vaccine. If you don’t have a primary care provider, find one at NovantHealthUVAHealthSystem.org/ doctor. ❖

Kids and Strength Training It’s about building more than muscle BY ZACH HACKERSON NEXT LEVEL PERFORMANCE COACH ACSM CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER
A
s a strength coach, I talk to a lot of kids and their parents and hear many misconceptions about childhood fitness, particularly as it relates to weight training (also known as resistance training or strength training). Concerns from parents about it stunting their child’s growth, making their child bulky, or that it’s dangerous. None of those concerns are valid, and there’s plenty of science to support that strength training, when done correctly, has many benefits both physical and mental. It typically takes 8-12 weeks to see marked improvement in young athletes’ coordination and performance through change of direction drills, acceleration and deceleration drills, plyometric or jump training, and lifting weights through basic movement patterns. Getting stronger and learning these athletic movements increases the chance of an athlete earning more playing time and decreases the risk of injury.

{ AUGUST 2018 |
Further, kids who strength train stand with improved posture, benefit from increased explosive power, and have an edge up on the competition as they age. Science also shows that strength training not only helps improve selfesteem, academic focus, and executive function in children, it increases a child’s likelihood of continuing exercise as a lifelong habit. A recent report by the National Institutes of Health found that

child develops into his or her teenage years, weight training will result in an improvement in body composition. Because weight training also helps improve conditions like high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, and obesity, we encourage inactive children or those not playing sports to strength train as well. Using an InBody scan we have tracked marked improvement in body composition with several of our youth fitness participants who were facing weight issues. And, we have found that even in kids with physical
program that follows the recommended guidelines and precautions is safe and effective for children. When choosing a program for your child, and for the sake of safety, make sure the coach controls the amount of weight lifted and the modality utilized. Kids should not try strength training on their own, or by watching online videos. Be sure the training is always supervised by an experienced and certified strength coach that teaches your child proper technique, the purpose and benefit of the exercises, as well as safe and respectful gym behavior. Performed in a safe environment with proper load, weight training will increase strength, but not muscle size. As your
disabilities, strength training is a reasonable and beneficial protocol. We have worked with numerous youths with disabilities, including a young man with cerebral palsy. His strength has improved to the point that he is reaching his goal of walking with one crutch. I like to say that the iron belongs to everybody, and I know that his self esteem and confidence has risen because he is doing strength training. One thing we hear from college coaches and our athletes that have gone on to play collegiate sports, is that those athletes who strength train are better prepared for the rigors of playing at the collegiate level. They demonstrate increased performance on the field, and benefit

With a well qualified coach and a structured program designed for your child’s age and development, strength training is completely safe and beneficial. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Sports Medicine, American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, and the National Strength and Conditioning Association all agree that a supervised strength training

from having learned such important qualities as leadership, focus, and team building. It’s those kinds of intangibles that translate to the rest of their lives. The fact is, strength training has many benefits. Your child will have improved athletic performance, increased confidence, and better health overall. At Next Level, we work with youth who want to be competitive athletes, as well as kids who want a good time in a non-competitive environment. So as long as you are working with a qualified coach, your child will stay safe, enjoy the experience, and develop skills and habits that will stay with them for the rest of their life. ❖

ack to school shopping ranks right up there with Christmas as a major budget buster for families. This year, parents with children in grades K-12 are expected to spend an average of $501.00 on everything from clothing to paper and pencils, and many will spend much more. But all that shopping doesn’t need to break the bank. One great way to spend less is to shop in consignment stores. These days, consignment stores offer the latest styles from name brands at a savings of 50% to 70% per item. And you won’t believe how many items you’ll find with the original tag still attached! Consignment shopping is good for the environment and even better for your budget. And if your kids have any concern they won’t be totally on-trend, check out the following pages for of-the-moment looks that were styled right off the racks at Do You DejaVu Consignment in Warrenton, and Stuff! Consignments in Gainesville.
For a young, preppy look, Connor is wearing flat front khakis from Bonabos and a Vineyard Vines button-down Oxford. Sarah is wearing J. Crew floral shorts with a light blue plaid blouse and Hunter Original Tall Wellington boots in aubergine. A printed messenger bag completes her easy, casual look.
These two are picture-perfect proof that youth and style can absolutely be synonymous. Olivia is wearing black skinny jeans with J. Crew three-tone flats and a two-tone leather jacket over a rust colored tank. A large, vintage leather carrier completes her look. Max is stylish in red shorts and a striped navy tee topped with a plaid shirt left unbuttoned for a super casual look.
For a look that’s a little edgier, Olivia is in a shoulder cut romper paired with a denim jacket and crepe leather sneakers. Rompers are everywhere and will be with us all through the fall season. Max looks sharp in Levi’s jeans and a plaid, button-down shirt paired with Vans sneakers.
For these two young beauties, we picked easy going, on-trend outfits. Savannah is in a blue printed romper, short denim jacket, and cool Sperry topsiders (next to which she's placed a pretty patchwork tote). Mary is in a super cute and age appropriate Zara dress complemented by a Vera Bradley backpack.
YES,
white jeans can be worn all yearround.
Yes, white jeans can be worn all year-round. Sarah is wearing skinny jeans from White House Black Market with a printed tank and a white cardigan. Connor is wearing Vineyard Vines cargo pants in gray, paired with a Ralph Lauren polo. We added the argyle cardigan for a more sophisticated, academic look.

f the many reasons to savor the annual recurrence of the heat we like to call summer, high on the list has to be food cooked on the grill, and by food I mean a juicy steak. The dog days of summer are upon us, and it’s the perfect time to move the kitchen outdoors. Whether you’re a foodie or a bachelor with no other kitchen utensils, everyone appreciates the enhanced flavors from grilled food, the ease of cleanup afterwards, and the opportunity to play with fire. Grilling also offers the chance to eat well for much
less while playing outdoor games like horseshoes or cornhole with a drink in hand. Like working the remote control, cooking outdoors is a lot easier than most men would like to admit, and it doesn’t matter whether your grill is gas, charcoal, open pit, or electric, as long as you keep a few tips in mind. First and foremost, do all the prep work you can before starting the grill, especially when using wood or charcoal. Timing is crucial and you can’t very well turn coals off. Now, start by opening your favorite beer, and let’s get prepping.

First, marinate your steaks. My favorites for the grill are Ribeye, Porterhouse and T-bones. Everyone has their favorite prep, but I prefer a little Worcestershire sauce to dampen the meat and then a heavy dry rub. Make your own or use a store bought rub like Montreal or Emeril’s, and add salt and pepper. Don’t worry about it being too salty, because it doesn’t permeate the meat, but it does help form a flavorful crusty exterior. Also be sure to have the meat at room temperature before grilling. Cold meat does not cook evenly. Next, decide what your side dishes will be. This would also be a good time to grab another beer. I prefer a garden salad and summer corn. Summer corn is easy to cook on the grill. Just keep it away from the high heat and it will be ready to go in just a few minutes. If you want potatoes with your steak, you can even bake them on the grill. This will add time, but it’s worth it. Try rolling the washed potato in salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then wrap it in foil, stab it with a fork, and cook it on the grill away

from the hot center for about an hour until it gets soft on the inside. Now make your drink decisions. If you happen to be watching your carbs or just prefer wine, it’s perfectly acceptable to replace the aforementioned beer with a cold glass of Peju Sauvignon Blanc as your aperitif. Also, while the potatoes are cooking, pop the cork on your favorite bottle or two of Alexander Valley Cabernet so that it has time to open up before dinner. Another delicious idea for while the potatoes are cooking. A good way to pass the time while you wait for the potatoes is to make the best outdoor appetizer – shrimp on the barbie. There’s no easier way to turn your steak dinner into a little surf and turf then to buy a pound or two of large unpeeled Argentine Shrimp, douse in melted butter, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and lots of Old Bay. When the grill is good and hot, place the shrimp directly on the grates using your grilling tongs. Flip after a couple minutes when the shells turn pink. Remove, peel, and dip in cocktail sauce. It’s a great

appetizer while you’re waiting, and the mess stays outside. Finally, it’s time for steak. T-bones, Porterhouse and Ribeyes are made for the grill. They have enough marbled fat to give the meat that extra flavor. Make sure the grill is hot enough to get the needed sear, and then cook to desired tenderness. Remember, no matter how done you like your steak, it will continue to cook after you remove it from the grill. This is where the art of grilling comes in to play. It’s easy to overcook, so err on the undercooked side. You can always cook longer if need be. Now sit down with your friends and family, share the cab that was made to accompany steak, and enjoy the fruits of your labor while you can. Remember, winter is coming! ❖ ABOUT THE AUTHOR A resident of Northern Virginia, Mike Allen is a wine consultant, historian, amateur photographer, coach, and blogger.

Red, hot August and the search for the missing holiday BY MARK LUNA
I
f you saunter through today’s Gregorian calendar, you’ll notice that in virtually every month, there is pause for either a traditional holiday or some kind of National Celebration Day, honoring something. We have the whole year covered, as our country’s full of them. Obviously, January 1st kicks it all off, with a midnight kiss. Fast forward to year’s end and you have two really big ones that occupy November and December. And then there’s April’s special Sunday, with chocolate bunnies and eggs. There’s also a couple of national 3-day weekends, at the end of May and beginning of September. And of course, don’t forget the pyrotechnic celebration every July, honoring our nation’s birthday. Still, for every one of those traditional, grand occasions, we also have lesser, but equally important days of recognition, like February and lovers, March and leprechauns, October and goblins, and June’s two Sundays, one each for mom and dad. Then there’s August. Lonely, forgotten August. The month where everyone skips town, trying to stretch out summer as long as humanly possible before begrudgingly returning home to get ready for school, or work…or Congress. Sure, you have celebratory days of the JV kind, like National Mustard Day, on August 4th, and Wiggle Your Toes Day, on the 8th (that’s a heck of a week). And don’t forget doozies like Left Hander’s Day, on the 13th, and National Spumoni Day, on the 21st. But the one

day that truly epitomizes August happens to fall on the 27th - National Just Because Day. That’s right, just because. I must confess, though, I love NJBD, for it sets up my favorite celebration day that August somehow managed to snatch up for itself, and that is National Red Wine Day, on August 28th. Now that’s how you polish off the month! After months of crisp whites and floral rosés, red wine is swirling inside the barrels, just waiting to explode. And no matter how high the thermometer climbs, a great red just can’t be denied, especially when the AC is cranking. So, for this issue, I’ve picked two producers and six rosso selections that I think are perfect for August. Seth Cripe makes great California pinot noir. Hailing from Anna Maria Island, Florida, Seth was bitten very early by the wine fruit fly, showing earnest, if not unusual interest at the age of 12, and reading anything and everything he could about the wine world.

as did wine list exposures. His calling was heard and, at 17, he left for California to pursue his wine dreams. After 12 harvests at some of the world’s most renowned wineries, including Caymus and Pfeiffer Vineyards, he founded LOLA (named after his favorite dog) in 2008, and set out to make high quality, yet approachable wines. Of his numerous offerings, my favorites are his three pinot noirs – North Coast 2016, Russian River 2016, and his single-vineyard beauty, Artisanal Series Pinot Noir 2014. The North Coast PN 2016 is a unique blend of pinot vineyards from Mendocino, Russian River, and the Sonoma Coast. An entry-level, walk-in wine, it preserves dark cherry fruit, a touch of cola, and redwood forest aromas. His Russian River PN 2016 is a step up, with darker concentrations of both fruit and terroir, all exclusively sourced from California’s most prestigious region for pinot noir. It is both refreshing and refined. If you want the best, then you must try his Artisanal Series PN 2016, a small batch of wine produced solely from the Coast Grade Vineyard, situated less than a mile from the Pacific Ocean, on Ben Lomond Mountain – the westernmost area of the Santa Cruz Mountain appellation. This wine is gorgeous, with overflowing aromas of ripe plum and strawberry, with a palette to match. Throw in a touch of spice, fresh fig, and excellent acidity, and you have greatness. Any (and all) of these three wonderful pinots can be best enjoyed, in honor of LOLA of course, on August 10th. You know, National Spoil Your Dog Day. Staying in California, my old stomping grounds, we turn to the beautiful red wines of the Peter Franus Wine Company. Much like Seth, only add a few decades, Peter’s winemaking skills were born of a passion, both for wine and the way of life that it offers. He is both studied and imaginative, a craftsman and an artist, and his wines reflect the core knowledge and heartfelt love that he has for his winemaking home, Napa Valley. Napa Valley represents barely 5% of California’s total wine production, but its stature is global. And for the countless number of visitors it welcomes every summer, it knows that red wine isn’t just for winter consumption, not even close. Peter’s wines are world-class, and in choosing his
56

reds, I’ve decided on three that I think separate him from so many others who are still trying to be great, his Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, Brandlin Vineyard Mount Veeder Zinfandel 2014, and Lake County Red Hills Rhone Blend 2014. If you’re going to drink Napa, you have to drink Cabernet. Peter produced his first Cabernet Sauvignon in 1981, as winemaker for Mount Veeder Winery; he knows what he’s doing. His Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 is produced in the legendary Howell Mountain AVA, in the northeast corner of the valley. This is a majestic wine, dark ruby in color, with a shower of inviting aromas such as dried herb, cassis, and subtle vanilla. Floral notes add to its elegance and approachability. Ripe yet moderate tannins and good acidity create balance, and plum/cherry overtones add freshness and focus. It’s full bodied, but never weighty. Brandlin Vineyard Mount Veeder Zinfandel 2014 is the way to go if you want to “dance with the one that brung you.” Zinfandel is truly a California original, despite its Primitivo grape origins, and Peter’s Zin is a showstopper. Coming from one of the most exclusive vineyards in Mount Veeder, 1200 feet above the Napa Valley floor, this wine is alive, bursting with spice, black cherry, cranberry, cinnamon, and pepper, all in a firm and concise structure. Zinfandel is a zesty grape and this wine doesn’t miss a step. It’s a big night out at the end of a hot summer day. And finally, something a little different. Lake County Red Hills Rhone Blend 2014 is a gamble that paid off. A spectacular property, situated at 3000 feet elevation, Red Hills is a not place for every winemaker. Soils are thin and drain instantly, and the elevation sets vines well above the hot summer heat trapped in the valleys below, aligning them in the path of cool westerly Pacific breezes. And all of this makes for superb wines, if you can pull it off. This French-inspired bottling is composed of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, the three classic varietals of the Rhone Valley, France. Not your typical Napa wine, but brilliant nonetheless. Peter’s skills truly shine here, as each grape’s characteristics come through – the clove, smoked ham, and pepper of Syrah, the lavender and floral notes of Grenache, and the brooding fruits of Mourvèdre, all commanding complete attention. And like LOLA, Peter Franus red wines are absolutely perfect for those special August occasions – like National Friendship Day on the 7th, National Relaxation Day on the 15th, and Kiss and Make Up Day on the 25th. Whatever your day of choice, just get to the 28th, and all will be right in August. If you have any questions about the wines, you can find me at info@winespique.com. Until then, Happy Vino’ing! ❖

American Sign Language: an ideal form of communication BY DEBBIE EISELE
O
ver the years many articles and news clips have detailed the benefits of teaching young children sign language. But, there are a myriad of other reasons to learn American Sign Language (ASL), even if you are a high school student or an adult. Research has shown ASL benefits individuals with no hearing impairments; studies stated learning this language helps to “improve spelling, behaviors, small motor skills, and develop a stronger vocabulary and ability to communication more effectively.” Additionally, professionals benefit as well because knowing ASL allows effective communication with deaf or hard of hearing clients. Throughout the Commonwealth many school divisions offer ASL

instruction (see the list of regional schools), and some provide credit to students who successfully complete coursework outside of their school. For students with reading difficulties, such as dyslexia and other specific learning disabilities, ASL provides an alternative to traditional foreign language classes, and provides them an opportunity to learn a useful language skill and explore a potential career path.
Information for students and parents. The Virginia Department of Education’s (VDOE) website noted: “Foreign language instruction is an important part of Virginia’s efforts to provide challenging educational programs in its public schools and to prepare students to compete in global society. Knowledge and skills that students acquire in foreign language classes reinforce and expand learning in other subject areas.” So, why is ASL not considered a foreign language? ASL is not a form of

English as many may think. “American Sign Language (ASL) is a complete, complex language that employs signs made by moving the hands combined with facial expressions and postures of the body. It is the primary language of many North Americans who are deaf and is one of several communication options used by people who are deaf or hard-of-hearing,” according to the definition from The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. For Virginia public school students seeking an advanced diploma, individuals must successfully pass three (3) foreign language classes (of the same language), or two (2) classes of one language and two (2) of another to fulfill degree requirements. For those with learning differences such as dyslexia or other specific learning disabilities, learning any foreign language is difficult. According to the VDOE, “ASL courses have satisfied the high school Advanced Studies Diploma foreign language requirement for over

20 years.” (See 1998 Supts.’ Memo # int001 on the Web at doe.virginia.gov). Current Virginia legislation states (§ 22.1-207.5.): “Instruction in American Sign Language. ‘American Sign Language’ means the natural language recognized globally that is used by members of the deaf community and that is linguistically complete with unique rules for language structure and use that include phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and discourse. If local school boards offer one or more elective courses in American Sign Language such school boards shall (i) grant academic credit for successful completion of an American Sign Language course on the same basis as the successful completion of a foreign language.” VDOE standards of accreditation does address the awarding of course credit (section 8 VAC 20-131-110). According to a VDOE representative, Lisa Harris Ed.D. specialist for world languages and international education: “The SUPTS. Memo #205, dated September 21, 2007 (doe.virginia.gov) specifically references this section when discussing the awarding of foreign language credit to native or heritage language speakers.” Harris supplied the Standards of Accreditation (SOA) currently in place (full SOA text may be found online at doe.virginia.gov): “The SOA allow for school divisions to award credit for other than clock hours, as you will see in the Supts. Memo [Memo #205 noted above].” Harris detailed, “Some Virginia school divisions have a local policy to award credit for demonstrated proficiency, such as in the Fairfax County Credit by Exam program. In order to pursue this option, a local school division would need to have a written policy in place for how they would award the credit. This policy must be approved by the Superintendent and School Board.” She also shared that “it is a local decision as to whether they [local school division] will award credits for other than clock hours and how that credit will be awarded, so long as the policy is consistent with the SOA regulations as

We have found that kids who have struggled with language or foreign language previously often do very well in ASL courses. It stimulates different areas of the brain and allows them to learn a language that improves fine motor skills, handeye coordination, and processing abilities.” outlined in the Supts. Memo #205.” Harris also said revised SOA are scheduled to take effect in 2018. The SOA includes updates to the regulations pertaining to the awarding of credit, and the new graduation requirements referred to as the Profile of a Virginia Graduate. Additional state legislation (HB 84) has been approved by the Virginia House and Senate this year and will take effect upon approval (signature) by the Governor, which adds to existing legislation in the Code of Virginia. (full text available at law.lis.virginia.gov).
Fauquier County Public Schools Fauquier County Public Schools currently offers several foreign language courses for students, but not ASL. Brian Gorg, Fauquier County School Board Member, Center District, said, “I am supportive of the school division researching options for adding ASL back into our curriculum. ASL instruction has positive learning benefits to students in addition to its relevance as a modern language. Implementation of an ASL program is being researched by administration but options will depend on divisional budget priorities, enrollment interest, and the options we have to deliver ASL courses.”

— DR. MICHAEL E. BISHOP
Dr. David Jeck, Superintendent of Fauquier County Public Schools, said, “I know there is interest within the school community to add ASL as a course, or series of courses. I am a big fan, but we need the state to cooperate in regard to recognizing it as a foreign language substitute. This would really be helpful. I am more than happy to push for this.”
Prince William Public Schools Patriot High School, located in Nokesville, offers three ASL courses. Initially Patriot offered Level 1 ASL in 2012, but has grown the program over the years. Dr. Michael E. Bishop, the school’s principal, said, “We went from having a handful of Level 1 classes in our second year to having two full-time teachers, offering 10 sections of the course between them, in levels one through three.” Bishop also shared, “We have found that kids who have struggled with language or foreign language previously often do very well in ASL courses. It stimulates different areas of the brain and allows them to learn a language that improves fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and processing abilities.”

Schools in the region which offer ASL instruction Fauquier, Culpeper and Rappahannock County schools do not offer ASL at this time. Prince William County offers course at Patriot HS and Woodbridge HS. Loudoun County offers classes at the following schools: Briar Woods High, Broad Run High, Dominion High, Freedom High, Heritage High, John Champe High School, Loudoun County High, Loudoun Valley High, Park View High, Potomac Falls High, Stone Bridge High, Tuscarora High, and Woodgrove High. Fairfax County schools with course offerings include: Oakton High, West Potomac High, West Springfield High, Westfield High, and Woodson High. Virtual Learning is another option and offers approved providers schools may use for ASL instruction. According to VDOE, students who wish to sign up should consult their local guidance office and visit the Virtual Learning website (doe.virginia.gov) for more information. For public school divisions who require additional information, administrators should contact the VDOE specialist for the region, Timothy Ellis. (Source: VDOE)
Bishop also explained this course is accepted as a language credit by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCCAA) Clearinghouse and “allows students to provide evidence of three years of a language (which is a college entrance requirement).” Bishop shared advice to other schools interested in offering ASL courses: “Hire a qualified ASL teacher and ensure there is a curriculum in place for the students and instructor to utilize. Our two instructors, Ms. Chadwick and Ms. Carter, do an excellent job of challenging the students while supporting their maturation and development.” Bishop also said some students, as juniors and seniors, will “sign” during end-of-year school ceremonies, such as graduation. Tressela Bateson, support specialist with the Virginia Department for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing shared some positive experiences: “I have taught ASL before (at the university level). I recall one of my students coming up to me telling me that he had a disability and needed accommodations. He was dyslexic. Needless to say, he was the best student in that class. He described learning ASL like a light going off in his head; language just made sense all of a sudden.” She also said, “I have seen children with other types of language processing disorders pick up ASL easier than learning to speak, read, or write English. That helped bridge to their learning English after they had a way to express and receive information in a less frustrating way.” Bateson also shared, “I even taught my own hearing children how to sign (as I am deaf). My children sign, and both excel in language arts.”

For Professionals and Students According to the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID), there are 335 Certified members in Virginia. RID’s website provides information on becoming an interpreter as well. “Interpreters and translators, not just ASL, are listed at The Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov). The job growth is 18 percent. However to be a good interpreter, and a certified one, a B.A. degree is required by RID. It is a tough career. You have to have a good foundation in English and be fluent in ASL. But, it is also a rewarding career and in very high demand,” said Bateson. Bateson suggested a few organizations which offer online ASL instruction. “Ones [classes] taught by native signers are best,” she said. Here are a few of the websites she provided for individuals interested in learning more about ASL instruction options: signlanguage101.com, signingsavvy. com, and gallaudet.edu/american-signlanguage-program/asl-online. For adults, it is not too late to learn ASL to benefit your career, or to transition into a new one working with the deaf community. LFCC , Northern Virginia Community College, and many four-year colleges and universities across the nation offer ASL courses. This language provides students and professionals a way to communicate more effectively with deaf individuals. If you communicate with the public and many customers (no matter the career), there is a likelihood you will need to talk with someone who is deaf; being able to speak their language would be an asset to your business. ❖

Students Share Experiences: Tristan Corbett, an 18 year-old studying at Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA), was a Patriot High School student who participated in ASL, and is now enrolled in ASL 3 at the NOVA Annandale Campus. He shared his experience with this language: “I found it to be a very satisfying experience. Learning a new language was always fun for me, I had stints with German, French, and Mandarin for short periods of time but with ASL I found that it clicked so much easier than the others. I also feel ASL has improved my English. When you sign in ASL often times you come to a point where you're not sure of a certain word’s sign equivalent, it forces you to think and make connections, breaking down semantics, and building a new perspective on your world. As with every language, I look forward to using ASL with the deaf community, it's nice to have someone speak to you in your own language and that's no different for them I'd imagine. As far as using it in my career I do hope to become adept enough to be able to use it in the field. I'm currently planning on becoming a counselor, and to broaden my horizons with more languages would be helpful to me on a professional platform and to better any experience I may have should someone within the deaf community become a patient of mine.” Erin Newman is currently in her second semester at Northern Virginia Community College, and studied ASL at Patriot High School. Newman is pursuing a career as a sign language interpreter and shared: “If you study ASL you are doing your part in helping to expand the reach of the deaf community and make the hearing world a bit more open to those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Studying ASL in high school benefited me in that it helped me get a head start on my chosen career path. I have always had an interest in ASL, and with the help of my teacher Mrs. Andrea Chadwick-Jenkins, I was able to begin educating myself on the language and culture. Having the opportunity to begin those classes in high school made entering the college level courses much easier for me.” Newman utilizes her skills with patrons she serves at her job as a waitress and server.
