lowers. We welcome them eagerly in the spring after a long, cold winter, and by May the early ones are in full bloom, and the daffodils and tulips may already have come and gone. Flowers and gardens make me think of my own mother. When we lived in New England, she gardened extensively, and our yard looked absolutely gorgeous with a masterful mix of perennials and annuals. She lives in Florida now, in a maintained community, so she doesn’t have the opportunity to get out in the dirt anymore, and may even be glad of it; it was a lot of work!

I did not inherit her talent, or perhaps it is that I didn’t inherit her patience for flowers, so my yard doesn’t look nearly as nice.

But I am attached to some plants she gave me as roots which I have managed to propagate: some lily of the valley, bleeding hearts, and

Flowers are a classic Mother’s Day gift, so for this special day consider a houseplant or outside plant for Mom, maybe a perennial so it comes back year after year to remind her of your gift. If you want a huge spray of color, an arrangement from a florist may be just the thing. For thoughts on selecting and caring for cut flowers, read our article with advice from Melanie Ruiz of Melanie’s Florist in Haymarket.

Who’s Your Book Mom? A look at mothers in literature

BY WHITNEY ARCHER

E

very May, we celebrate and thank our mothers and grandmothers. Everybody has a mom, who, for good or bad, shapes not only our entry into the world, but our lives afterward.

We picture the ideal mother as nurturing and creative — she loves baking, crafts, and volunteering at school. But just like any other human, moms are more than mothers: they are individuals, with good and bad bound together. Indeed, what we think of as mothering should be as unique as the women themselves.

And it’s no different in books.

The stories we tell about mothers matter. Who do we want to be?

Whom do we fear? Our literature usually tells us, if we look closely enough. I asked the librarians and staff at the Haymarket Gainesville Community Library about their favorite book moms to get a closer look at the fictional and real-life women in our lives. And their answers, like women in real life, are diverse and fascinating.

I would have to say Molly Weasley [from the Harry Potter series]. She’s fabulous and who wouldn’t want a big family like hers?” Mrs. Weasley is a loving, if overprotective, mother. Not only does she leads her large brood of excitable redheads through a wizarding war, we learn that she fought and found love during the previous one. And besides, who doesn’t want a few household spells to wash the dishes and make matching sweaters?

Vivian Carter is fed up with the chauvinistic culture at her high school where the boys ‘act like animals’ while the girls are subject to surprise dress code checks. Inspired by her mom’s past, Viv starts Moxie, a group that fights back. Lisa Carter is such an inspiring mom in this moment and a realistic example of what we go through as supportive parents.

We may be the adults now with responsibilities, but like Lisa, many of us know what it’s like to be seventeen and want to speak up for our rights.”

One of the most interesting mothers who comes to mind is Marilla Cuthbert [from the Anne of Green Gables series]. She’s a spinster who accidentally finds herself as the mother of a precocious orphan. But as the story unfolds, she transforms from a stuck-in-her-ways old maid into a wise and caring mother figure who helps Anne navigate a changing world.”

A Chair for My Mother is about a single mother and her daughter who lose everything they owned in a fire, and now the mom has no place to rest her sore feet after working long hours. Every week, Mama, Grandma, and the daughter save their spare change for a big, soft chair. And finally, they are able to buy a velvet chair covered in roses. I love how the story is about starting over and perseverance through hard times.”

Ways the New Tax Law May Impact You

BY GARY HOWARD

T

he most sweeping tax reform legislation in decades was enacted into law at the end of 2017. If you pay federal income taxes, you are likely to see an impact this year. As you plan your 2018 tax strategy, here are five key changes to know about the tax reform law:

1

Tax rates and brackets have changed Federal income tax rates progressively increase as your income rises. These are known as tax brackets. The new tax code reduces most of the ordinary tax rates and adjusts the tax brackets, applicable from 2018 to 2025. However, the

8

{ MAY 2018 |

number of brackets for individual tax filers and married couples filing jointly remains at seven. For instance, in 2018 the first $19,050 of taxable income for a married couple filing a joint return is subject to a 10 percent federal income tax.

For income the couple earns between $19,050 and $77,400, the ordinary tax rate for 2018 is 12 percent, lower than the 15 percent seen under the previous law.

The highest ordinary income tax rate, which was previously 39.6 percent, was reduced to 37 percent and starts at $600,000 of taxable income for couples who file jointly. Visit IRS.gov to see the full list of tax rates and brackets.

filing a joint return in 2017. Under the new law, the standard deduction has increased to $12,000 for a single taxpayer and $24,000 for a married couple filing a joint return. These changes are effective from 2018 through 2025, unless Congress acts to extend them.

3

Changes in itemized deductions For those who itemize deductions in 2018 (and through 2025), there are some significant changes, even considering the increased standard deduction. Among the most notable:

Standard deduction is nearly doubled

· The deduction for state and local taxes, including property taxes, is generally limited to a maximum of $10,000 per year.

Under previous law, no maximum limit applied.

When you prepare your tax return, you have a choice of either a standard deduction, or itemizing deductions such as mortgage interest, charitable gifts, or state, local and property taxes. Under the new law, more people will use the standard deduction.

(Itemized deductions are changing as well – see item number three.) The standard deduction stood at $6,350 for a single taxpayer and $12,700 for a married couple

· The ability to deduct interest on home mortgage remains, but the $1,000,000 debt limit under previous law is generally reduced to a $750,000 debt limit for home mortgages created after December 15, 2017. Also, deductions on interest paid on home equity loans (whether new or existing loans) is no longer allowed.

This may make home equity loans less attractive as a borrowing option.

2

HAYMARKET LIFESTYLE

}

· Miscellaneous itemized deductions, such as investment expenses and tax preparation fees, are no longer allowed.

4

Personal exemptions are suspended and child tax credit is increased Under long-standing tax law prior to the new legislation, individuals could also claim personal exemptions for themselves and their dependents when filing their tax return. That exempted a portion of income from taxes.

In 2017, the personal exemption was $4,050 per person. Under the new law, effective in 2018 through 2025, the personal exemptions no longer apply.

If you have children, you may qualify to claim a $2,000 tax credit per qualifying child beginning in 2018 (and through 2025), double what was allowed in prior law. That is a dollarfor-dollar reduction of the taxes owed. It’s expected that more people will be able to take the credits because income limitations have been raised. Another credit of $500 is now allowed for dependents you may claim who are not qualifying children.

5

Expanded use of 529 plans To this point, 529 plans have provided a tax-advantaged way to save money for qualified higher education expenses, such as tuition, room and board, and fees.

The new law allows you to withdraw up to $10,000 tax-free per year per child from a 529 plan to help cover the K-12 tuition at a public, private or religious school.

These are only some of the changes that may affect individual taxpayers. Consult with your tax advisor to understand how the new legislation may affect your circumstances. Keep in mind that many of the tax provisions have an expiration date, unless Congress acts to extend them. ❖ About the AUTHOR Gary A.

Wines of the month

BY MARK LUNA

I

own a horse. In fact, in our family, we have three horses. And though my riding skills were once (and only) intermediate at best, I confess that I have fantasized often, flying down the stretch, finishing first, and having dozens of roses draped across my champion thoroughbred’s long, sinewy crest.

And to celebrate my victory, of course, I’d open a bottle of wine… but that’s me. It’s true, if there’s one thing for which the month of May is known, it is horse racing. From the racetracks to the steeplechase yards, horse lovers and race fans alike gather at this time every year to celebrate the equine, in all its beauty, power and glory.

And when they’re not sipping on the obligatory Mint Julep, a chilled bottle of rosé is the choice of the purist, for it also has its own beauty, power and glory. So, this month, we trot around the globe and celebrate the dry rosé.

What the racetrack of Deauville-LaTouques is to thoroughbreds, Provence, France is to dry rosé: the home of the best.

And we begin our journey with DOMAINE SORIN TERRA AMATA ROSÉ 2017. Located only a few kilometers from the Mediterranean

10

{ MAY 2018 |

HAYMARKET LIFESTYLE

}

Sea, Domaine Sorin’s 32-acre vineyard is classified as both Bandol and Cotes de Provence… that’s as South-of-France as it gets.

Organically farmed, the soils are nourished with natural compost and worked without any chemical products so as to gain the best expression of what many consider the most famous terroir in the world. The vineyard was acquired in 1994 by Luc Sorin, whom Robert Parker once labeled “the most exciting winegrower in the South of France.” Sadly, Luc recently passed away, but his legacy continues on with his children now at the helm. This year’s Terre Amata Rosé is comprised of the quintessential Provence varietals grenache, syrah, cinsault, mourvedre and carignan, yet also includes the local grape rolle and the main grape of Cognac, ugni blanc. It’s pale pink in color, with just a tinge of orange showing at the bottom of the glass. On the nose, glorious fragrances of strawberry skin, ripe watermelon, and just a hint of the sea will bring a smile to your face.

At 13 percent ABV, this is a very dry rosé, but incredibly refreshing and very easy to drink either by itself or with an array of Mediterranean foods.

Priced around $18, it’s also a wonderful value.

country. However, in 1946, René’s father became the first vigneron to plant chardonnay in the village; since then, their chardonnay has become as renowned as their pinot noir. Why is this important? While in Champagne rosé is typically 100 percent pinot noir, the Courtiers’ is two- thirds pinot noir and one-third chardonnay.

So with their bottling what you get is a deeply colored, extraordinarily rich wine with complex characteristics showcasing both varietals. It is a beautifully made rosé that offers up notes of dark red fruit, brioche, a huge mouthfeel, and the perfect earth of Ambonnay. And priced under $50, it’s impossible to beat.

Staying with pinot noir, we travel to Oregon, to the Campbell familyowned Elk Cove Vineyards, and their 2017 ESTATE PINOT NOIR ROSÉ WILLAMETTE VALLEY. Oregon is

If sparkling rosé is calling your name, then it doesn’t get any better than champagne, it just doesn’t. And of the dozens to choose from, RH COUTIER BRUT ROSÉ GRAND CRU NV is amongst the best. A Grower

Champagne house, meaning they own and produce wine from their estate only, Coutier is located in the grand cru village of Ambonnay, one of the most prestigious villages in all of Champagne. The Coutier family has a long tradition in winemaking, since they’ve been there since 1619. Today, 11th generation son René Coutier heads the nine hectacre estate. It’s important to note that Ambonnay is generally regarded as pinot noir

the premiere wine-growing region of pinot noir in the country, and the grape makes for some of the finest rosé in the world. Elk Cove Vineyards was founded in 1974 by Pat and Joe Campbell and was only the fourth winery established in the Wilamette Valley at the time. Their son Adam joined forces with them in 1995 and today he is the chief winemaker. 2017 marks their first vintage of 100 percent estate-grown and -produced wines, something very rare and special in the WV. Like many of their award-winning pinot noir wines, this year’s rosé is hand-harvested. The very ripe grapes are gently whole-bunch pressed with limited skin crushing, which makes virtually a “white pinot noir.” The wine is cool fermented in stainless steel tanks. From there, carefully selected

lots of fermented red pinot noir juice are blended back for both color and texture. It’s a very unique wine, with assorted cherry fruit accents, ripe tannins, and a completely dry finish.

Only 4000 cases were made and, at $20, it’s a must-have for the rosé season.

Finally, we journey south to sunny California and to Sidebar Cellars, a boutique companion label to the famed Ramey Wine Cellars’ bottlings.

THE SIDEBAR ROSÉ RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY 2016 is David Ramey’s first

rosé under his new label, and like the spirit of the label itself, it is a casual, but serious wine, dedicated to both quality and enjoyment. What makes this particular rosé distinctly Californian is the fact that it’s 100 percent syrah, the epic Rhone varietal. Syrah has been produced in California for years, making some of the biggest and best red wines around, but to find it in a rosé is truly unique, something only the ambitious Ramey team can achieve.

It’s a richly colored wine, with both aromas and palate flavors of raspberry, cranberry, and pepper. The 2016 vintage also received “Top 100 Wines” status in Sonoma Magazine, and because of its sole syrah grape composition, it’s an age-worthy rosé, making it an outstanding, serious food wine. Priced under $25, it’s also a great value.

So yes, May is indeed horse racing season, and the mint julep is certainly a traditional part of the Greatest Two Minutes in Sports. But, that’s only two minutes, and after it’s all over, it’s time to kick back, celebrate the race, and enjoy the great pink juice that has become both the spring and summer go-to bottle, known all over the world.

Happy rosé-ing! ❖

Gleanings from the Bible

Ruth 2:2

Why 4 Gospel?

The Bible is a book of life, and this life is a living person, the wonderful and all-inclusive Christ. The Old Testament gives a portrait, in types and prophecies, of this wonderful person as the Coming One. Now, in the New Testament, this wonderful person has come, and He is introduced to us in four gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. But why four gospels?

Christ, as the wonderful center of the entire Bible, is all-inclusive, having many aspects. The New Testament at its beginning presents four biographies to portray the four main aspects of this all-inclusive Christ. A living person may be said to have four sides—a front, a left side, a right side and a back. While a description of the appearance of each side may be factually accurate each description will be dramatically different. Nevertheless, for a full comprehension of a living person he must be viewed from all four sides.

The Gospel of Matthew testifies that Jesus is the King-Savior, the Christ of God prophesied in the Old Testament, who brings the kingdom of the heavens to the earth. To prove Jesus is the true King, Matthew needed to show us the antecedents and status of this King as the proper successor to the throne of David. Accordingly, the genealogy of Christ in Matthew begins with Abraham, the father of the called race, and includes a royal linage through King David. In Matthew, Christ as the king was anointed in chapter 3, and decreed the constitution of His kingdom in chapters 5 through 7. In chapter 8, we see that He had authority over the wind, the sea, the demons, and the authority to forgive sin. In chapter 13, He unveiled the kingdom’s mysteries, and in the final chapter He is resurrected in victory to reign with all authority.

The Gospel of Mark tells us that Jesus is the Slave-Savior faithfully laboring for God and for man. Accordingly, Mark’s gospel has no genealogy, as a slave has no social status that would require a genealogy. Furthermore, in Mark 10:45, Jesus said that He did not come to be served, but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many. By comparison, Mark’s account is most simple, for a servant does not warrant a detailed record.

The Gospel of Luke presents a full picture of Jesus as the ManSavior. He was the only proper and normal man who ever lived on this earth. To prove that Jesus is a proper and normal man, Luke’s gospel presents a long genealogy, tracing back not just to Abraham, but all the way back to Adam, the first generation of man. It is fitting that Luke was a physician (Col. 4:14) and had the standing to testify of the Lord’s human birth, human living, and human death. In Luke, we can see the Lord’s sympathetic humanity when He was moved with compassion for the widow who had lost her only son (Luke 7:13). In the last chapter of Luke, the disciples were able to touch the flesh and bones of the ManSavior after His resurrection (Luke 24:39) and He ascended into heaven as a man.

Finally, the Gospel of John unveils Jesus as God the Savior, the Son of God, the very God Himself, who is life to God’s people. Accordingly, John also has no genealogy, as God is without beginning; rather, John begins his gospel with: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). In the first 11 chapters of John, Jesus as the very God changed man’s death into life, and satisfies every man’s need, including the moral Nicodemus, the immoral woman, the lame man, the hungry crowd, the thirsty woman, the condemned sinner, the blind man, and the dead Lazarus.

In the Old Testament these four aspects of Jesus Christ are foreshadowed in typology by the four living creatures in Ezekiel, with Christ in Matthew typified by the lion, Christ in Mark typified by the ox, Christ in Luke typified by the man, and Christ in John typified by the eagle (Ezekiel 1:10). Accordingly, the New Testament needed four gospels to present to us the four main aspects of such a living, wonderful, and all-inclusive Savior. After reading the four gospels, we can see a full portrait of the all-inclusive Christ. He is both a king and yet also a lowly slave; a proper man and yet the mighty God. He is everything we need! Sometimes we need Him to be a king to us to rule and reign in our lives. At other times, we need Him to serve us as a slave. Did you know you have a personal servant? He serves us by bringing us whatever we need (i.e. His human virtues and divine attributes).

This wonderful One is also a genuine man who is able to be touched with the feeling of our weaknesses, having been tempted in all respects like us, yet without sin (Heb. 4:15).

However, this One not only empathizes with us, but He is the mighty God who gives life to the dead and calls the things not being as being (Rom. 4:17). He is not like many of our friends who may sympathize with us if we lose our job, for example, but cannot give us a loan because they are broke. He is Jehovah, the “I Am” (John 8:58), who can provide whatever we need— love, joy, life, grace, and peace to name a few.

In the concluding chapters of the fourth gospel, John gives us a call to action when he writes, “But these I have written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, you may have life in His name” (John 20:31).

Thankfully, this wonderful and all-inclusive Savior is not only factually real but subjectively experiential by believing into Him and calling upon His name (Rom. 10:12-13)—O Lord Jesus!

Don’t let headaches ruin your life

H

eadaches may be one of the most common afflictions we share as humans. But beneath that everyday description lies a more complex web of disorders and causes. Some headaches may cause minor discomfort, but some can be extremely painful and debilitating. Some headaches may also indicate the presence of other serious health problems.

Dr. Duane Campbell, a neurologist at Novant Health UVA Health System, helps explain the differences and why people who’ve suffered migraines shouldn’t give up on getting help.

TYPES OF HEADACHE

Headache disorders fall into two broad categories. A primary

14

{ MAY 2018 |

headache is one due to the headache condition itself and not brought on by another cause. A secondary headache is one caused by another condition. Primary headaches include tension-type headaches, migraines and cluster headaches.

TENSION-TYPE HEADACHES

are often described as pain that can feel like a tight band is squeezing your head. It is the most common type of headache and accounts for about 90 percent of all headaches.

Causes of tension-type headaches include emotional stress, anxiety, depression, poor posture and lack of sleep.

Tension-type headaches can become disabling when they are chronic. Overusing painkillers to treat tension-type headaches

can cause daily chronic headaches.

Campbell said the most common headache type he sees are migraines. “Almost two-thirds of all headaches are migraines, especially in younger patients ages 20 to 50.”

MIGRAINES are well-known for being more debilitating headaches. The International Headache Society notes that migraines can take place with or without an “aura.” An aura is a warning sign that can occur hours or even a day before the onset of a migraine. Women are more likely than men to suffer from migraines.

MIGRAINES WITHOUT AURA are recurrent headaches

that last anywhere between four to 72 hours.

Patients describe the moderate to severe pain as throbbing in one area of the head. During an episode, patients are very sensitive to light and sound and they may also experience nausea and vomiting. Routine physical activity such as walking can aggravate the pain.

“The reality is that a lot of people may not realize they have migraines,” Campbell said.

“They may think its sinus or tension. But headaches affect a lot of Americans.”

“For healthy people between the ages of 20 and 50, migraines are one of the top reasons people miss work,” Campbell said. “They can be debilitating and miserable.”

In cases of migraines with aura, patients experience warning symptoms hours or even a day before the attack including fatigue, sensitivity to light or sound, nausea, or blurred vision. The migraine will develop gradually over five to 20 minutes and usually last less than hour.

CLUSTER HEADACHES cause intense, repeated bouts of pain on one side of the head. During a bout with cluster headaches, the pain can occur at the same time each day, often at night, and become intense for half an hour to an hour. Episodes occur regularly for a week to a year and are separated by periods without pain. Patients may also experience watery eyes and a stuffy nose during an attack.

“Cluster headaches can be pretty severe, and may even be confused with having a stroke because the pupil may dilate on one side,” Campbell said.

“For those who feel frustrated with their current options, there may be hope on the horizon” SECONDARY HEADACHES

are caused by other conditions such as high blood pressure or infections such as sinusitis or meningitis. A mild head injury can cause a headache and so can tumors in the head. Blood vessel problems, such as a hemorrhage following the rupture of an aneurysm, can also cause a severe headache.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF A HEADACHE? A number of

factors can trigger a tensiontype headache, including stress, depression, anxiety, a head injury, or holding your head and neck in an abnormal position.

The pain in a tension headache usually affects both sides of the head, starting at the back and spreading forward. It can be accompanied by soreness in the shoulders, neck or jaw.

Researchers are not certain what causes migraines, but most people have some triggers.

“Different seasons can trigger migraines – especially if someone’s trigger is an allergic

reaction to something that blooms during specific times of the year,” Campbell said.

“Different levels of caffeine or alcohol can also trigger migraines.”

Foods that can trigger migraines may include chocolate or certain types of cheese or seasonings such as monosodium glutamate or nitrites in processed meats.

FUTURE TREATMENT FOR MIGRAINES Currently,

migraines are treated with triptan medications, which are prescribed by a physician and available in pill, nasal spray and injection form.

“You have to take these drugs in a tight time window in the early phases of a migraine in order to be effective,” Campbell said. “We know migraines happen at the worst possible time and when they happen, you only have an hour or so to get these pain-relieving drugs in your system.”

New research is being done for a new class of medications that don’t require a specific time window.

“For those who feel frustrated with their current options, there may be hope on the horizon,” Campbell said.

He encourages those who have had migraines for years and given up on treatment to try again.

“You shouldn’t have to grin and bear it, or work through the pain,” Campbell said. “There are many treatment options now and I’d encourage patients to see a neurologist about what options would work best for them.” ❖

f you aren’t passionate, or being challenged, or having fun, you will not make a change to your life, according to Kayla Stauffer and Heather Weaver, co-owners of REVive Studio in Gainesville. These two women believe in empowerment of the mind and body and have used that philosophy to build a space where friendships have flourished and Spin, TRX, and Barre classes have participants leaving feeling better than when they came in.

A lifelong athlete with childhood musical interests, Stauffer discovered a love for spin class when she realized it incorporated everything she loves.

She could see and feel how motivating the combination of music and exercise was and knew right away that this was perfect for her. “Sharing this with the community and spreading positivity throughout each and every class is what makes me who I am — strong, motivating, supportive, energetic, caring, and all over electric,” she says.

A multi-sport athlete herself, Weaver returned to exercise as an outlet after getting married and building a family that includes five children. She had yet to give spinning a shot but all it took was a few songs on the bike for her to realize that spinning was the perfect combination of physical and mental

motivation and she was completely on board too. Now, having taught over 300 classes in just 10 short months, you’d never know she had just discovered her new passion less than two years ago. “As a health and fitness coach, I discovered my love for helping others find their own happiness within themselves through healthy living, and wanted to continue spreading that positive change throughout my community,” she says.

These high-school classmates followed each other’s fitness journeys online for years. Stauffer, a previous studio owner in Pennsylvania, would come back to Virginia to visit her family and seek out an exercise class to take. She quickly realized there weren’t any places that quite fit her needs. The two friends’ mutual interests sparked an idea and they began to talk about the possibility of opening a studio. They visualized what it would look and, more importantly, feel like. With some encouragement from their families, they decided to go for it. When a space in the Madison Crescent shopping center in Gainesville became available, Weaver and Stauffer jumped at the opportunity and began to transform it into their dream studio.

There were a few factors that were on top of the list of priorities that Weaver and Stauffer wanted to incorporate. One was to provide affordable child care so that parents would not have to sacrifice their fitness goals for their budget. Another was to make sure REVive was built in a way to allow members to gather and get to know one another on a more personal level; they wanted an intimate feel. They felt it should also be a place where people could come to push themselves both physically and mentally, connect their minds and bodies, and just let go to focus on themselves. Testaments to their efforts can be found in the feedback they receive and the relationships

they have formed with their members.

“It’s the best workout I’ve ever had” is commonly heard from the mostly women clients at REVive Studio. This is just one, if not the best, compliment they have received.

It validates that Weaver and Stauffer are succeeding in their mission to change the mindset and erase the negative stigma that surrounds the exercise community for some people.

Instead of dreading their time at the gym, these members often report they can’t wait to get to class. Weaver and Stauffer feel privileged to be able to witness the life changes that are happening daily at REVive Studio.

When clients’ bodies and moods change, their outlook also changes.

The women have witnessed the friendships that have formed between members and also between members and instructors. The members rely on the instructors to help them get to where they want to be. The oneon-one interaction and personalized attention to each person’s fitness ability and goals is what makes REVive so unique. It’s really become

a support system for some. “You aren’t just a member to us, you are a part of our community,” says Weaver.

The positive and uplifting atmosphere at REVive is contagious, and these successful women are confident that each person who tries a class will feel the same. For this reason, the first class is always free, with no strings attached. Almost everyone who has tried a free class is blown away and ends up coming back again and again. REVive has become a place where people of all ages, all sizes, and all different backgrounds come together for 45 minutes of fun and exercise and leave with ‘feel good’ feelings, and maybe also a few new friends. ❖ REVIVE STUDIO 7956 Crescent Park Dr., Gainesville (703) 743-9166 | revivestudiova.com facebook.com/revivestudiova

ulips. Squirrels dig up the bulbs before they have a chance to bloom. If a bulb does manage to produce a bud, chances are good that when we go out to check on that potential flower the deer have eaten the bud in the meantime and left us a stem.

If, by some miracle, we actually get to see a tall, colorful, fragrant tulip bloom by the next year, it is a flower half the expected size on a flimsy stem.

And yet, every year I buy bulbs because I fall in love with their pictures and hope that maybe I will get to see those beautiful flowers in my own yard.

Why? Because they are tulips. I have hundreds of deer-proof bulbs: daffodils, crocus, different types of hyacinths, snowdrops, and others. I truly look forward to seeing all of them bloom but the small group of tulip leaves in a tight corner behind the boxwoods is what I am watching most closely. Maybe I will get blooms which look like the picture on the package when I selected these eight white lumps in thin brown papery wrappings last fall. Just maybe.

I might really like tulips and wish that I had fields of them but no one has ever loved, no, coveted, tulips like the Dutch did between 1634 and 1637. Let’s look into the flower’s fascinating history.

Originally cultivated in the Ottoman Empire, the tulip was introduced to Europe when the Austrian ambassador to the court of Suleyman the Magnificent sent a small shipment of bulbs back to the Hapsburg court in 1554.

The Turks had taken tulips from the wild and bred them to be something very different. In the wild they were short with open, starlike flowers; the Turks bred them to be long and slim, with petals that were almost dagger-like.

They had patience and enthusiasm and enjoyed the tulip’s propensity to mature differently than the original flower the seed derived from. In fact, it was the constant changing nature of tulips that

A pamphlet from the Dutch tulip craze.

Printed in 1637.

caused them to be thought of as the flower that is the most blessed by Nature because she played with it more than any other bloom.

In the Ottoman Empire at the time, tulips flourished as natural selection came into play: bees were attracted to the biggest and brightest flowers, and the Turks were selecting and reproducing the biggest and brightest blooms. Man and nature worked together at producing an abundance of amazing flowers.

During the “Tulip Era” from 1718 to 1730, the Ottoman Empire’s Sultan Ahmed III’s love of tulips was so great that he held extravagant celebrations with the gardens filled with candles, music, lights and dancing girls every night the tulips were in bloom.

These celebrations were so over-the-top that it was one of the factors leading to his being overthrown in 1730.

Let’s go back to Europe. As it traveled from one royal court to another, the tulip was already seen as something special to be valued. As with all things royal, tulips were something rare and sought after by the wealthy. In 1593, a famous bulb specialist, horticulturalist Carolus Clusius, took some Viennese bulbs with him to Holland.

Because he was so boastful and covetous of his tulip bulbs and because he refused to part with them at any price, some angry but enterprising tulip enthusiasts banded together and stole the bulbs from him.

Clusius was so broken from this that he gave up cultivating bulbs completely. However, the thieves embarked on tulip production at full throttle. Because the seeds from one

tulip can produce many different varieties of flowers, Holland was soon filled with hundreds of different varieties.

Sometimes one tulip in a garden of perhaps a hundred would bloom differently than the rest. It would unfurl with streaks of a contrasting color on the main body, often called flames, or feathers. That one unusual bulb was the prize bulb that could be sold for large amounts of money; a single bulb could even be used as currency to buy things of value like a house. Legends abound, including one about a miller that exchanged his whole mill for one bulb and a bridegroom that accepted one tulip as sufficient dowry. The Dutch tried some crazy things to increase the frequency of these special blooms, including sprinkling dry pigment powder over beds of white tulip bulbs. Unknown to them, the variations actually came from a virus that was spread from tulip to tulip by aphids. Because the prized, unusual bulbs were caused by a virus, the flowers were beautiful, but sick, and produced less-than-healthy bulbs.

Trading in tulip bulbs became so intense that people left thriving occupations to become bulb traders. Where the actual bulbs were once the currency, promissory notes for future bulbs were starting to be traded. Then on February 2, 1637, the auction market opened and there was no one willing to speculate with enormous amounts of money on the pieces of paper that represented a possible future bulb with a special flower.

And just like a stock market crashing from over inflated values, the Dutch tulip market tanked. The only thing that survived was

the Dutch knowledge and love for growing tulips. Holland is still a major producer of tulip bulbs.

A tulip growers year starts in October when the bulbs are planted, and then a winter cover is put on in November. In the spring the flowers are cut off so the bulbs can grow larger. In July, the bulbs are dug up and then graded by size. In August and September they are checked, packed, crated for shipping and then checked again by the USDA before being loaded for shipping from Rotterdam. From September to December they are re-inspected before being sent to distributors and sales rooms.

Two things are important to note here in this calendar. First, if you see bulbs for sale before September they are probably inferior in size or leftover from last year; the big colorful bags that are full of peat moss and subgrade bulbs are not worth buying.

Wait until you can select the bulbs yourself, or order from a reputable catalog. Second, be grateful for all of the inspections. These ensure that we are getting healthy bulbs and not bringing unwanted diseases into our gardens.

I wish I could tell you how to have a fabulous tulip display, but I can’t. There are several products and home remedies that promise success, like wire cages for the bulbs and various powders to toss them in before planting. One year, I put a daffodil bulb in each hole on top of the tulip bulb to throw the marauders off the scent. It actually did keep them from digging them up but did not keep them from eating the flowers. Try all of the things you use to save your roses, lilies, phlox and hostas: spray, sprinkle, and wire.

The big spring display at my house is from all different kinds of daffodils, mixed with lots of other bulbs that deer do not like. But I’m still really hoping that the clump of tulip leaves in the sheltered corner actually turns out to be the glorious salmon-pink tulips from the bulbs I planted last fall.

OF COURSE THERE ARE OTHER POSSIBILITIES! Consider a live plant for the house

or garden. Hydrangeas, azaleas, and azalea topiaries are popular for Mother’s Day. A perennial for the garden that comes back year after year is always a nice remembrance. Maybe a selection of potted herbs in a basket or a pot? Sometimes the best bouquets are the ones picked by children; take them out into the yard or wildflower fields and let them select what they think is prettiest for Mom!

MELANIE’S

tips: Communicate directly with your local flower shop rather than ordering from an online company.

You will get better service, and it is easier to communicate what you’d like. They will also be able to recommend the freshest flowers.

A live hydrangea can be enjoyed for years to come once planted in the garden! But try waiting until early fall to plant.

Summer conditions can sometimes be too harsh for newly planted shrubs.

Choose a vase over a basket for your arrangement.

The flowers will last longer; the baskets use an oasis (the green foam block) for arrangements which is much less efficient in delivering water to the flower. If you do receive a basket with an oasis, be sure to keep it wet.

Once it dries out, it will not reabsorb water.

If you receive a bouquet with the stems in small water pics, put them in water immediately.

They will absorb that small amount of water overnight.

The water in a vase should be changed (not just refilled) every 3 days. Every time you change the water cut a small bit off the bottoms of the stems to give the flower a clean opening to absorb the water.

Order your flowers by Monday or Tuesday of the week before Mother’s Day to allow for Saturday delivery. Flower shops in this area will be especially busy this year since prom falls on the day before Mother’s Day. Cut flowers should not be in sunlight or around heat.

Arrangements start at around $35, and the average cost of an arrangement is $75-$90.❖

The Very Thing for Her

A high end boutique for the discerning shopper

THE VERY THING FOR HER IS LOCATED ON JEFFERSON STREET IN HAYMARKET AND IS OPEN TUESDAYS THROUGH SATURDAYS 10 A.M. - 6 P.M. AND SUNDAYS 1 P.M. - 5 P.M.

BY DANICA LOW

T

hree years ago, store owners Lisa Dalby and Terree Tucker of Gainesville purchased their boutique consignment store. The shop continues to thrive today in the same Haymarket location, selling only highend designer items. It is clear from their social media that The Very Thing for Her boutique brings with it a dedicated following of skilled shoppers who are keen on brands, fashion, and designer names.

With a storefront property and an online shopping experience offered to its patrons, The Very Thing for Her brings the glamour of Neimen Marcus, the shine of Michael Kohrs, and the class of Chanel to the Piedmont at a discounted price. It is one of the only retailers in Virginia north of Charlottesville to sell exclusively these high-end fashions.

{ MAY 2018 |

The store operates solely through consignments. It has a hefty list of do’s and don’ts for its consignors and a long list of brands that will not be accepted. This integrity and quality control maintain the excellence sought by its customers.

Once Lisa and Terree select fashion items to be consigned, the agreement states the consignor will receive 50 percent of the sale. Items are sold at a dramatically reduced price off the standard retail price and customers are often given an additional promotional discount for holidays and sales. Last year’s Christmas sales boasted up to 40 percent off the consignment price.

Some of the shop’s most popular items sold last holiday season were mink coats, sweaters, boots, designer handbags, and fine jewelry. Furla, Brighton, Cole Haan, Joan & David, Burberry, David Meister,

HAYMARKET LIFESTYLE

}

Arcadi, Ferragamo, JW Hulme, Fendi, and Louis Vuitton are just some of the brands and designer pieces found in its inventory.

“Our typical shopper is a stylish, middle-aged or older woman looking for chic, quality clothing and accessories at a great price,” says Lisa. “Stylish pieces last winter were long tunic sweaters with quilted vests, jeans tucked into riding boots, scarves, hats, statement necklaces, and handbags. Now, we have all kinds of beautiful spring items. Lavender is hot this spring, we have maxi dresses, gorgeous items. We have a pink and black lace Valentino dress that is just beautiful.

We have lovely scarves, straw hats, purses, jewelry. Bright colors for spring, turquoise!

For those shopping for Mother's Day, sales will be popping up in April. Stay tuned to our Facebook page, where photos of our popular items are frequently posted.” ❖

hat photographer would even think of putting flour in a model’s hair and having her flip her head for a movement shot of the flour flying everywhere?

Or take action shots of a model being splattered with paint? These are just some of the things high school senior and photographer Hannah Phillips has done for her creative photography portfolio. With a photography business, school, and volunteering with Serve our Willing Warriors in Haymarket, Hannah is quite a busy and accomplished young lady. While maintaining straight A’s in school and volunteering, she still has developed an impressive portfolio of her photography work. She is energetic, determined, and talented, and can’t wait to graduate from high school to see what life has in store for her. Recently, Hannah shared information about her life and aspirations with Piedmont Lifestyle.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY.

I started in 2014, just having fun doing small shoots with friends. As my client base grew, I realized it was more than just a hobby.

I began to specialize in portraits with individuals and families. I developed the right techniques such as the perfect setting, lighting, and composition to capture memories and make the photos unique. With the help of YouTube tutorials, my inspiration grew and I developed my own style to enhance my photography. I’ve expanded my interest to collaborate with other creatives and start to capture edgy and elusive fashion lifestyle. One shoot included glass pyramids as the background and I experimented shooting at different angles and being more creative with my photography.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW. WHAT ARE YOUR DAYS FILLED WITH? I’m a high school senior, and I typically have at least one or two photoshoots a week.

I work out at the gym and love to hang out with friends on the weekends. I am also the official photographer for the Prince William County National League of Junior Cotillions. I enjoy interacting with younger students and creating videos and image slideshows for formal events.

I have enjoyed becoming a successful businesswoman.

HOW DO YOU FIT IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY AROUND YOUR SCHOOL AND WORK?

I always do homework before photography. Daily photoshoots are what I will strive for this spring because spring is the busiest season.

High school seniors are graduating and need senior portraits, and families and couples also love to get photos taken in the warm weather. Some of my favorite photo locations are Airlie, Manassas Battlefield, and Burnside farms.

TELL ME ABOUT THE BUSINESS

Not only am I the photographer, I am marketing director, CEO, customer service, website designer, and more. Running a business by myself is hard and it’s important to know all the right things to do as an LLC. I have enjoyed becoming a successful businesswoman.

Take Your Day Hikes to the Next Level Prepare for overnight hikes with proper gear and knowledge

BY ANDREAS A. KELLER

A

s trail hiking becomes more popular, the Shenandoah National Park increasingly attracts more visitors. Pick any beautiful sunny weekend and Skyland Drive may look as crowded as I-66. To avoid the traffic on the trails many hikers seek a more rewarding outdoor experience – farther away from the metropolitan areas. With the additional time being invested in day hikes, it's natural to consider overnight backpacking which offers a richer appreciation of both connecting with nature and learning the art of living simply.

The Boots ’n Beer hiking club began backpacking seven years ago when one of our hikers suggested we adventure out at least once a month to add variety to our activities. I joined him with lots of enthusiasm and quickly learned the hard way that preparation for backpacking in the wilderness is the first lesson to learn. It was a mild day in January when we set out for an overnighter in a remote part of the Shenandoah National Park. We found the perfect spot and set up our tents just below the mountain top at 3,500 feet elevation.

Under the light of the full moon and the bright beams of our headlamps we prepared and ate our freeze dried dinners; chatting until physical tiredness took its toll. But later in the full moon night soon gave way to rapidly dropping temperatures.

The inadequacy of my sleeping system became painfully evident

{ MAY 2018 |

as the barometer dipped to 18 degrees fahrenheit, and I could do nothing but listen to my own teeth shattering. The night was long and sleep was short.

The morning began with more surprises. Not only did all our water supply freeze, but the camp stoves refused to ignite.

Tired and quiet, we slowly broke camp and left the wilderness in search of the closest Cracker Barrel to fill our bellies with eggs, bacon and a good hot cup of coffee for the long drive home. That night was the beginning of my backpacking education.

Are you ready to go to the next level in backpacking?

When you build a home it requires thorough planning, preparation, choices, and lots of questions. As I learned, the same applies for backpacking because everything you need to safely

enjoy the wilderness, you must carry on your back.

If backpacking is your adventure interest, learn from experienced backpackers. A good place to start is to explore hiker blogs like Cam Honan’s website thehikinglife.com.

When you are ready to give backpacking a try, find an experienced backpacker, or group, and ask to join them on a trip suitable for beginners.

It’s like opening up a treasure trove, as hikers love to talk about their gear, will readily share knowledge, and love telling their own stories of their various experiences in the wilderness.

Boots ’n Beer’s backpacking group has grown over the years to include a dozen regular backpackers and schedules overnight trips once per month. Some hikers have been backpacking for 30 years or more. That’s a lot of accumulated experience and know-how, common sense,

Equipment and budget considerations. As a day hiker you already have your hiking clothes and boots. However, until you know if overnight backpacking is your “cup of tea,” you may want to borrow the necessary basic equipment from a friend or colleague before you purchase it.

The big three items you need include: overnight backpack, tent, and a sleeping bag. There are so many choices that spending an afternoon at an REI shop is time well spent; check out basic equipment with a knowledgeable salesperson.

The big three items are suitable for our area during late spring, summer and early fall, and should not cost you more than 600 dollars. If you are a bargain chaser you can use the REI Garage Sales

or eBay, where the same equipment, but slightly used, may be found for below 300 dollars or less.

With each excursion you'll find yourself making a mental checklist of additional gear items to make camping more comfortable. Most people find a hot cup of coffee in the morning and a good meal after a long hike are essential, which means a camp stove is required. On a recent three day excursion a new minimalist backpacker joined us. She is an experienced volunteer ranger and did not use a cooking system. She prepared all her food at home and ate it cold, but a flask of bourbon kept her warm.

Most backpackers tend to overpack which creates heavy packs. The art of backpacking, however, lies in going “light” which requires putting more thought into one’s choices Admittedly, each individual is different and some

prefer a little more comfort than a minimalist hiker, but remember as the gear increases so does the cost and weight of your backpack.

From an unknown humorist comes the definition of “Backpacking: An extended form of hiking in which people carry double the amount of gear they need for half the distance they planned to go in twice the time it should take.”

Remember, the joy of backpacking lies in the simplified life; immersed in nature, a sense of independent, and last but not least the enjoyment of The total equipment cost for an Appalachian Trail thru-hiker traveling over 2,000 miles is approximately

the camaraderie with fellow hikers. After a day’s hike, nothing is more satisfying then having dinner together around the campfire and telling stories, or simply watching the dancing flames. For many a hiker a stogie with some firewater brings the grateful thought: “If there’s a heaven, it’s here.” ❖ About the AUTHOR Andreas A.
