THE GARDEN CLUB OF VIRGINIA’S HISTORIC

Garden Week

WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY APRIL 22-APRIL 23, 2015 • 10AM-5PM

Elway Hall

8394 ELWAY LANE

The Edwardian mansion, completed in 1907 for General and Mrs. Baldwin Day Spilman, remained in the Spilman family for more than 50 years. Situated within an expansive lawn with many old-growth trees, the house was built using native stone hauled to the site by oxen.

With walls 30 inches thick, 14-foot ceilings, 16 fireplaces, a grand sweeping stairway and a 118-foot upper hallway connecting 10 bedrooms, Elway was the largest private residence in the Warrenton area at the time. The two-story, Bavarian-glass window above the front entrance features a Pre-Raphaelite image of Mrs. Spilman surrounded by 6

hummingbirds and trumpet vines. The current owner spent much of his life abroad and the house contains an intriguing and eclectic collection of objects ranging from a Han Dynasty figurine to African currency and Roman sculpture.

In turn they have inspired the furnishings he designs. An extensive collection of china is featured in one of the kitchens.

The wall of the main staircase contains numerous 18thand 19th-century prints and drawings, including several by the Czech artist, Jiri Anderle. A broad open lawn sweeps down to the pool offering views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Mr. Barry Dixon, owner.

C

onservation and preservation have been central to the Warrenton Garden Club and the Garden Club of Virginia from the beginning. This driving tour of 5 properties focuses on an area that contained a luxury spa in the 19th century, providing a healthy environment as well as social enjoyment. In the 1960s the Springs Valley became the focal point for land preservation with the establishment of forceful zoning. The goal was to secure the watershed and prevent construction that would jeopardize this basic need of the community. Today, visitors will enjoy the views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and natural beauty of these open spaces, home to the Warrenton Hunt.

The beginning of Historic Garden Week (HGW) dates back to 1927 when a flower show raised and impressive $7,000 to save some of Thomas Jefferson’s original mulberry trees on the lawn at Monticello. The following year, the Garden Club of Virginia (GCV) was asked to help landscape Kenmore in Fredericksburg, the home of George Washington’s sister. In 1929, GCV members wrote notes to their friends and invited them to visit Virginia during the last week in April for a “pilgrimage” of historic homes and gardens. The tour lasted 11 days and was the beginning of Historic Garden Week as we know it today. HGW was been produced every year since 1929, with only a brief interruption during World War II when money

Marshfield 8609 SPRINGS ROAD The Appleton Gardens at Marshfield, designed by Coleston Burrell, was named to honor the owner’s grandmother, one of the founders of the Warrenton Garden Club (a founding club of both the Garden Club of Virginia and the Garden Club of America). Trees, ferns, hellebores and thousands of bulbs flank the drive. A rocky rill bordered by white azaleas spills down to the road. The old lawn with majestic trees has been rejuvenated into a series of rooms, each with a decided personality. The boxwood allée combines old boxwood with new plantings of tulips and iphion; the Secret Garden contains a steel sculpture by Boston artist Karen Stanley; the Druidic

Circle is made of an intriguing sculptural grouping of tree roots; and in summer, an open field becomes a riot of wildflowers. A serenity pool next to the house utilizes part of the foundation of the 19th-century house that burned. Today a low brick house nestles under the old trees and is shielded by numerous Japanese maples. Inside, family heirlooms coexist with comfortable modern furnishings. In the library is the baby table belonging to Daniel Webster, the owner’s great-greatgreat-grandfather. References to the gardens outside include the stained-glass windows in the master bath and the powder room as well as a mural called “Field of Poppies.” Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Mitchell, owners.

was sent from the GCV to England to help preserve some of their public gardens that were in peril.

HGW is recognized as a significant player in Virginia’s travel industry and is actively promoted by the Virginia Tourism Corporation in coordination with the Garden Club of Virginia. Variety, history and beauty are all hallmarks of this state-wide event. HGW represents the coordinated efforts of 47 member clubs and 3,400 volunteers, almost 200 homeowners and hundreds of others friends, vendors and supporters. One national magazine had this to say about Historic Garden Week in Virginia: “Once revered as the Mother of Presidents, Virginia is more accurately known as the Mother of House Tours.”

Proceeds from Historic Garden Week fund the restoration and preservation of Virginia’s historic gardens, and provide graduate level research fellowships for building comprehensive and ongoing records of historic gardens and landscapes in the Commonwealth.

Since the first statewide tou , over $17 million has been contributed to these worthwhile causes.

Tickets: $30 pp. Single site admission $15pp.

Available at any of the houses open for the tour and at tour headquarters. Advance Tickets: $25 pp. www. vagardenweek.org. By mail before April 19, send a stamped, self-addressed envelope and check payable to: The Warrenton Garden Club, P.O. Box 1073, Warrenton, VA 20188.

Leeton Forest

7200 LEES RIDGE ROAD 8

TheOaks 8457 OAKS ROAD An extensive park filled wit mature trees, including a rare American elm, several varieties of magnolia and the eponymous oaks surrounds the house. Irwin Fleming designed the Classical Revival limestone-trimmed, brick house in the early 1930s for the Reverend and Mrs. Paul Bowden, the present owner’s aunt. A portico with “Tower of the Winds” columns opens into the wide central hallway and graceful stairway. Seven generations of family possessions fil the house. Portraits by the French artist Yves Muller d’Escars are hung throughout, a French 19th-century clock set adorns the mantel in

the gilt drawing room, an early19th-century bed belonging to a Revolutionary-War ancestor and a French Louis XVIII bed grace two of the main guest bedrooms. Zuber wallpaper, depicting various hunts, fills the large dining room. On th second floor the master bedroo runs the full depth of the house and offers views of the Piedmont in three directions. Leave the house via the long porch at the rear and stroll across the lawn dotted with spring bulbs. A stone summerhouse on the north edge of the lawn encourages lingering. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Gookin, owners.

The clapboard house that sits on a slight rise commanding views toward the Blue Ridge Mountains is actually the skin around three late-18th- and early-19th-century houses. The master bed-room is a log cabin from Wythe County with a later Federal-style mantel and dado. The drawing room was originally in a house in Lunenburg County, but the paneled wall with fireplace fla ed by cabinets came from a house in Martinsburg (now in West Virginia). The turned balusters on the early19th-century staircase in the entrance hall are unusual for such an early date. The owners have been careful to preserve original paint

where possible and the faux graining on the cabinets in the family room is said to have been done by the same artist who worked at Monticello. The owners have collected furniture contemporary with the architecture.

Many pieces were made in Winchester and Shenandoah Valley workshops. One 18thcentury chest-on-chest was made in Fauquier County. While being faithful to the period of the architecture, this is a family home with drawings of the children on the walls and paintings by the owner. Developing the gardens will be the next project for the history buff owners. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Thorpe, owners.

The original Leeton Forest, summer home of Charles Lee, Attorney General under both Washington and Adams, burned in 1890.

It was replaced in 1928 by the Federal-style house designed by Waddy Wood, based on Thomas Jefferson’s design for Ampthill in Goochland County. Many interior details came from Washington houses razed in the 1920s. The broad center hall opens onto the drawing room on one side and the dining room on the other. Above the mantel in the drawing room is a portrait of the present owner with his brother as young boys. Both

rooms are filled with English and American 18th- and early-19th century furniture inherited by the present owner. Of note in the hall is a pair of English 18th-century Rococo gilded looking glasses embellished with hoopoe birds in the chinoiserie style. A sunken sunroom leads out to a walled garden room with roses within boxwood-edged beds. A woodland walk flan ed by hostas and azaleas leads to the terraced pool area.

Mature American and English boxwood frame open lawns and surround formal beds filled with a variety of spring blooms

Urologist Dr. Kate Sullivan, of Fauquier Health Urology in Warrenton, will speak at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 15, about diagnosing and treating urology symptoms. Urology is a specialty that deals with diseases of the male and female urinary tract -including kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra -- and male reproductive organs.

Dr. Sullivan says that while people think of urological conditions as men’s issues, she disagrees.

“Women, like men, can also have kidney stones, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, and incontinence.” Indeed, kidney stones are one of the most common problems she encounters.

At the April 15 presentation, Dr. Sullivan will discuss bladder, prostate and kidney cancer, hematuria, urinary incontinence and overactive bladder. She will go over signs and symptoms, along with treatment options. The talk will take place in the Sycamore Room at Fauquier Hospital.

A free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening will be available after the lecture.

Therapeutic Team Members Discuss Techniques for Children with Autism To recognize Autism Awareness Month, at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 8, members of the Fauquier Health Outpatient Pediatric Clinic team will lead a discussion on the types of therapy that can help children with autism spectrum disorder. Children with autism can greatly benefit from pediatric physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy services. Experts at the Fauquier Health Outpatient Pediatric Clinic offer a team approach that can address balance, coordination, strength, self-regulation, self-care skills including dressing/feeding independence, sensory skills, and language and social interaction.

The April 8 event will take place in Fauquier Hospital’s Sycamore Room, and will be an interactive discussion with the pediatric therapy team: Christina Sink, MS, CCC -SLP, speech language pathologist; Courtney Albrecht PT, DPT, physical therapist; and Sherrie Beres MOT /L, occupational therapist.

he Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center in Haymarket is a T place of beauty in every facet of its

existence. From the volunteers to the employees, the smiles on the faces of the children, the stories of hope from wounded warriors and the spiritual connection the horses make to the people, there is something inspiring to witness just by stepping inside the facility. Executive Director Debi Alexander has so many wonderful stories to tell, some that bring tears to her eyes just by remembering.

The pride for the center is evident by the very first words she speaks about the impact it has had not only on the lives of the people involved and treated here, but on her own life. She’ll continually say “this is my favorite one” for each of the stories she describes because there are so many uplifting and heartfelt experiences that happen here.

On weekdays, she comes out of her office to greet the children who come to center as part of The Mane Experience. Funded by Minnieland Academy, this program brings children with Intellectual Disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorder to the center for a 2-hour a day experience learning about the horses and riding around the ring performing tasks and games.

by Christine Craddock experience here, the children all respond the same: “we love it here” and “it feels terrific” as well as “it makes me feel happy.” One of the teachers who accompanies the high school student points over to a child eating lunch at a table alone and explains that this particular child “would not be able to be this calm” to sit at a table if it weren’t for this program. Another child comes geared up in cowboy boots ready to ride each day, which only emphasizes his enthusiasm for this experience.

Although the prediction for The Mane Experience was for the

riders to achieve a 30% success rate on the objectives, the program has been proven to be 100% successful.

Teaching not only vocational skills such as caring for horses and equipment, building fences, and learning about farm management, the program also helps to develop social skills, communication, and problem solving and critical thinking.

A visitor would only have to witness the children each taking their turn on the horse to fully know the joy it brings.

in existence for 3 years, brings warriors from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center who may be experiencing physical and emotional trauma to receive therapeutic care at the center. Alexander says this unique group of people appreciates coming to a place where they are not treated differently or asked questions; they simply come for therapy at a place nicknamed “the hospital with a dirt floor.” The program has changed the lives of these heroes by allowing them to connect with the horses in a way they might not be able to with others in their lives.

Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center practices natural horsemanship, which allows participants to learn to communicate in the horses’ language, which then leads to learning to express themselves in ways that create trust. This can expand their human relationships by helping them to communicate better and open themselves up to trust other people.

Alexander says that, in addition to the warriors and children who benefit from the program, there are a number of volunteers who have given their time to the center year after year, sometimes due to their own life struggles. However, this helps to foster comfort and trust with the program participants because they see friendly, familiar faces when they come for riding. Also, the instructors at Rainbow are well studied and trained, and committed to the cause because of their passion for the cause and for these gentle animals who seem to know just how much they are helping people.

There are so many people and organizations who have helped this important cause to exist in Haymarket. The Wounded Warriors @ Rainbow program, underwritten

by Azalea Charities, the Washington International Horse Show Military Night, and the Warrenton Hunt March 14 Steeplechase, costs about $28,000 to serve 28 recuperating military personnel for 24 twohour sessions per year. The Mane Experience costs $70,000 to serve 50 high school students four days a 16

week for two-hour sessions during the school year. The good news is that there are so many more opportunities for individuals and organizations to help expand Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center so that more and more children and adults can be helped here. Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center hopes to find companies and foundations to sponsor special education students during the school year at Rainbow following Minnieland Academy’s example.

Minnieland Academy’s founder, Chuck Leopold says “Minnieland Academy is honored to be a part of the Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center’s efforts to help children.

The Rainbow Center has worked diligently for nearly 30 years, to facilitate the improvement of the physical and mental health needs of many of our citizens. We are very pleased to underwrite this effort to continue to provide therapeutic progress for the students involved.”

More businesses can get involved in this way to give back to the community in an important way.

The future plans are for an activity building to be built on the premises of the center as well as a sensory integration playground.

The activity building will house a reading room and space for educational play and programs, to serve and help the children and give parents time for themselves. In 2013, the Jesse & Rose Loeb Foundation donated $50,000 towards the activity building, which is estimated to cost $430,000 to complete.

In 2014, the Peterson Family Foundation donated $100,000.

Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center hopes to find three more donors to match this donation

to begin construction. Another $95,000 has been raised towards the $160,000 playground project. Only $65,000 more is required to make this “play for all” space a reality.

These future plans are designed to give families a place to recreate together, especially in a space that is customized to their needs and sensitive to their struggles. Alexander says “the sky is the limit” for what the center can offer but they need help from our community.

Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center is hosting an open house on April 25 from 9 am to 2 pm to give parents, children, and adults the opportunity to see what the center offers. Visitors will be able to watch classes and register for programs.

Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center is located at 16198 Silver Lake Road in Haymarket, which is just inside the entrance to Silver Lake Park. For more information, go to rainbowriding.org or call 703-754-6159.

hile lions and elephants strolled through her front yard and snakes found their way into the family outhouse, Katlynn Brooke was running free with her siblings in the bush of Zimbabwe, reading her mother’s “penny horribles” and largely cultivating a life-long creative curiosity.

Decades later, Brooke has three self-published books, a fourth on the way, watercolor paintings in the Berkley Gallery, and a lifetime of stories. Although she spent almost half of her life living around the globe, Brooke calls Warrenton home and now takes others on adventures through her paintings and novels.

Brooke’s early life up until young adulthood was spent in the remote wilderness of the southeastern part of Africa known then as colonial Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, where she was born to her South African parents. Because of her father’s work in basic infrastructure construction, Brooke’s family lived a very nomadic life, mud huts included (sometimes it was a small RV or “caravan”). “We felt like pioneers,” Brooke said.

wandered around the bush by themselves. She remembers splashing in elephant footprints left in the sandy riverbed and seeing lions and elephants wander through their yard – but never being afraid of them. She was, however, scared of the snakes, but her father was a fairly adept snakecatcher and would then take them to snake farms for venom-milking.

“Looking back, I am amazed we survived our childhood, but we not only survived, we thrived. I was less afraid of animals than people, and returning to civilization, going to school, and integrating into normal society was difficult for me,” Brooke said.

Brooke was influenced by and inherited her creative talents from her parents, who were both artists and voracious readers. In her elementary years, Brooke found and read her mother’s “penny horribles,” the sensationalized Victorian novels. And if she couldn’t find a book, “I’d go into my mother’s pantry and read the writing on the cans and boxes. Well, it was something to do.”

At age nine, Brooke was given a reading test with the rest of her class. After Brooke aced the test, her teacher ran off to call the principal.

“What shall I do with her?” the teacher asked.

“Anything you like,” he responded and left.

Brooke started reading the classics while her classmates started on “Dick and Jane.”

Although reading and writing came naturally to Brooke at a young age, it was painting that captured

her creative senses throughout most of her adulthood. After moving to South Africa when she was 19, Brooke married an American from the State Department and then spent five years living in India and Indonesia. When Brooke finally settled in Virginia, at the age of 28, she enrolled in Northern Virginia Community College and earned her associate degree in illustration and commercial art.

“During my first years in Warrenton, I painted a lot. I’d paint every day, and specialized in watercolor.” Brooke also taught watercolor painting for many years out of her home and her paintings are still shown in the Berkley Gallery on Main Street today.

“I love color, light and tone, and to understand how to translate that into a painting is challenging but satisfying at the same time…I enjoy teaching others about tone and color because it is often the least understood thing in painting…I love the transparency of watercolor, and enjoy the challenge of making my paintings glow.”

As much as she loved painting, Brooke started to feel like there was something more trying to get out… something more she could create.

After finding their mother’s diary after her death, Brooke and her sister got the idea to write a novel about life in Africa. This turned into Brooke’s first novel, “Talk to the Moon.”

After trying, with no luck, to finish the sequel to “Talk to the Moon,” Brooke felt a different story pushing its way to the surface. Two months later she finished her first young

adult fantasy novel, “The Six and the Crystals of Ialana.” After only another two months, Brooke finished the sequel, “The Six and the Gardeners of Ialana”. “I had found my genre!”

Now working on the third installment of the Ialana series, Brooke seems to have found her muse. “I wanted to write what I enjoy reading, only in a different way.”

The premise of the Ialana series is that everything is explainable, including magic. Understanding the true nature of the universe and how to gain the cooperation of the elements in a way that is in harmony with nature allows even flying, healing, telepathy, etc. to be explainable.

While the Ialana series is definitely filled with the fantastic (shape-shifters!), Brooke says about writing, “It is a challenge to say something ordinary in an interesting way. It is not the person who has lived the most interesting life that can write, but the person who has not, but makes everyone think they must have led an interesting life. This is fiction.”

The fascinating part about Katlynn Brooke’s life is how extraordinary it seems. Maybe she’s just telling it in an interesting way.

Interested readers can find Brooke’s three self-published titles on Amazon Kindle, and can also keep a lookout for them coming soon to the Barnes and Noble Nook. Print-on-demand copies will also soon be available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Learn more about Brooke’s works on her website katlynnbrooke.com.

Rebekah is a creative professional who pursues writing, graphic design, and photography. When she’s not busy being a complete foodie, she enjoys historical dramas, yoga, and the perfect cup of espresso.

THE FOUR PILLARS OF BUILDING A BETTER ATHLETE The Successful Athlete is the Educated Athlete

adv

by Colby Schreckengost BS, MS, CPT

uring a recent athletic evaluation D with a high school student, I started the nutritional assessment portion of her session with my usual question, “What did you have for breakfast this morning?” She looked at me with a puzzled face. “I don’t think I had anything,” was her hesitant reply. She could tell by my facial expression I was disappointed, but I continued asking questions regarding her other meals, hydration, and sleep patterns. We discussed her goals as student-athlete. I asked if she wanted to continue playing her sport after high school. To that she answered, “Yeah, I guess so.” We went on to do basic measurements, and movement skills test (Functional Movement Screen, Broad jump, 5-10-5 shuttle, 10 and 20yard dash and vertical jump). When the hour was fi finished, she was probably relieved that I didn’t ask any more questions. Me, I was motivated.

It’s my personal mission to educate young athletes about 22

what it means to be a “complete athlete.” I’ve been coaching and training athletes for nearly thirty years and I’m still amazed at the lack of knowledge as to the preparation and dedication it takes to really excel as a student athlete. I think parents will agree that even at the middle and high school level, competition for starting roles on athletic teams is fi fiercer than ever. Sure there are still those anomalous kids that seem to barely work and get by on their Godgiven, genetically-derived

talent. But for the most part, most young athletes are working their tails off to make a team or earn a scholarship. They’re working hard, but is it a lop-sided focus on just

Teaching athletes strategies like how to remain focused and how to overcome adversity is one of the key pillars in building a better athlete.

When left to their own devices, most kids will make poor nutritional choices, by giving them easy to remember strategies we can help improve recovery and performance.

Focusing on proper movement skills (like lateral acceleration and deceleration) in a controlled environment creates a quicker, more sound athlete and actually lowers their risk of injury while competing.

April 2015

one aspect of being a complete athlete?

There’s a missing link with most young athletes that are trying to get from “average” to “good,” or “good” to “great.” It isn’t more practice, it isn’t more skills training, and it isn’t learning to be a better student of the game.

Instead, it’s embracing and adopting the “4 Pillars of Building a Better Athlete” that can make all the difference in an athlete’s success. We try to instill these 4 Pillars in every athlete who walks through our doors, and we’re eager to share them with aspiring young athletes and their parents.

MINDSET Mindset is the key to the entire building process. It has been proven time and time again that only by improving the mindset (attitudes and intentions) can an individual or team truly improve their ability and maximize potential. Mindset drives choices, choices drive actions, and, actions determine success. Training an athlete’s mindset must include: • Goal Setting Strategies • How to Gain Confidence: Staying Focused • Giving Your Best Effort • Overcoming Adversity • Staying Disciplined • Being a Good Teammate • Developing the Leader Within You • Mental Toughness • Preparing for Athletic Testing NUTRITION This is always tough because kids are surrounded by lots of bad food options and it’s really essential that parents and coaches stress that proper nutrition and supplementation is a must in order for an athlete to reach his potential, and -- next to sleep --probably the most often overlooked. If you are training hard and practicing hard, properly fueling your body is essential. For

most athletes it is preferable to keep nutritional advice simple.

They typically will listen and in most cases make small changes, but only if the information is simple and actionable. Topics that drive an athlete’s nutritional education should include: • Staying Hydrated • Healthy Breakfast Practices • Lowering Sugar Intake • Pre-Workout Nutrition • Post-Workout Nutrition • Importance of Fruits and Vegetables • Choosing Healthy Snacks MOVEMENT Smart Training is much more than “just working out”!

First and foremost, an athlete needs a plan to improve “the machine” as I like to call it. Most importantly, all movement in the training process should be focused on quality, not quantity. Every movement skill, every lift, and every corrective exercise should be learned properly and developed progressively. The goals of any great training program should include the following: • Injury Prevention Practices • Corrective Exercises and Neuromuscular Activation (Turning on the Nervous System) • Dynamic Warm-up • Linear Speed, Lateral Movement Skills, Change of Direction, Acceleration and Deceleration, and First Step Quickness Development • Explosive Lifts and Plyometrics • Core Strength and Stability • Lower Body Strength Development • Upper Body Strength Development • Energy Systems Development (Conditioning) 23

Explosive strength training movements like the dumbbell snatch create a stronger athlete that will have more endurance, less susceptible to injury, and make them more explosive.

Soft tissue strategies like foam rolling improve an athlete’s ability to recover from the rigors of training, practices and games and improve their body’s ability to keep up with the demands of the season.

RECOVERY With most high achieving, hardworking athletes; recovery is without a doubt the most overlooked aspect of preparation training. The demands on our athletes are always escalating so more attention should be paid to recovery.

The human body breaks down as the amount of training sessions, practices and games increase and become more intense. Athletes need the following recovery practices in order to increase performance, avoid overuse injuries and stay mentally fresh and focused.

• Daily Soft Tissue Work • Ice and Heat therapies • Develop good sleep habits • Create Yearly Master Plan (including fun time and getaway time) • Utilize Chiropractic & Deep Tissue Massage therapy techniques • Restorative Yoga Sessions • Emotional and mental release sessions (from a professional or friend) The bottom line is this: as the physical demands, as well as the mental and emotional pressure on the modern athlete keep ratcheting up, it becomes more and more imperative that we educate our athletes rather than just putting them through mindless workout sessions. You never know what that athlete is going through at home, at school or at his or her job that might be holding him or her back. I’ve made it a priority to educate every athlete that comes through our facility so that they will have the best chance for success. We only get one shot at an athletic career. By the time we’re 35-40 years old; competing in an athletic arena has usually come to an end and in most cases an athlete’s career ends after high school or college. Just as in life and in all of our working careers; proper education holds the keys to the best possible outcome.

The young lady that I spoke about earlier has recently signed up for one of our athlete training programs. It’s obvious that she could use our help with her mindset and nutrition.

Hopefully, if she’s open to learning and heeding our advice, she will create for herself an awesome athletic career and more!

If longevity and experience mean anything to winemakers, then Louis Papadopoulos can be considered a master. Following in his family’s footsteps, Papadopoulos began making wine in his native Greece in 1961. Migrating to the United States in 1964 and, eventually, to northern Virginia in 1984, Papadopoulos continued making wine in addition to being a renown goldsmith. After training him to be a goldsmith, Papadopoulos turned the family jewelry store over to his son to devote more time to his vineyard and winery north of Warrenton.

The wines reflect the Greek tradition of having wine available for snacks and meals in a relaxed setting with family and friends. Additionally, Papadopoulos does not believe a wine should be rushed to the consumer. One look at the wines available for tasting shows several that are eight to ten years old.

Of the white wines, the Chardonnay has distinctive

CELLARS vanilla overtones that pair well with cheeses, poultry and seafood. This carries over to other whites, like the softer 2010 Pinot Grigio and the surprisingly dry and fruity Riesling, Moscato and Viognier. The age of each of these wines mean pork, ham and chicken pair well them, in addition to a wider variety of cheeses.

Ask Katie Papadopoulos for some excellent pairing suggestions.

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2007 Merlot go beautifully with red meats and dark chocolates. A big surprise is the 2007 Romance, described as a “deck wine” when paired with cheese or even turkey.

Looking for something unique? Taste the 2008 Rechina, a traditional Greek Retsina. Pair this with cheese, lamb, olives or grape leaves for an authentic, sumptuous meal.

Families and picnics are encouraged, but please leave the dog at home.

Steve Oviatt is President of the Haymarket Gainesville Business Association and runs his own consulting business in addition to working for a number of local wineries. Steve Acknowledges that his daughter has taught him everything he knows about wine. He lives in Catharpin with his wife, Nancy.

The 4th Annual

OFFICER down memorial ride Saturday, April 1 8th For families of law enforcement officers, the thought of something tragic happening weighs heavily every time he or she leaves the house for duty. But in those cases where unfortunately, a tragedy does occur, there is an organization dedicated to honoring each and every one of those officers.

The Officer Down Memorial Page (ODMP) was founded by Chris Cosgriff, a college freshman who was compelled to action when hearing that a man who was convicted of murdering two Maryland police officers only served 16 years in prison for his crime. When Cosgriff decided to change the focus to the two officers to create a tribute to their ultimate sacrifice, the ODMP was born.

This was in 1996 but the online memorial quickly gained traction through the help of the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial Fund, eventually gaining access to thousands of these heroes dating back to the 1790s and even expanding to Australia, New Zealand, Central Europe, and Canada. Cosgriff says, “when a police officer is killed, it’s not an agency that loses an officer; it’s an entire nation.”

Since a huge population of federal and local law enforcement officers exists in the Haymarket and Gainesville area, the ODMP 28

is a cause that is near and dear to their hearts. These men, women, and their families share a unique bond and understanding that is hard to find outside of the career.

For these reasons, 4 years ago, the Officer Down Memorial Ride was founded to help fund the memorial page and make others aware of this important cause that pays tribute to these officers and honors them by telling their story.

The event attracts over 500 visitors each year, some who arrive on motorcycles for the ride and others who come with their families to hear great music, enjoy delicious food, and support our heroes, both local and around the country. The motorcycle enthusiasts arrive to the event after a 60-mile scenic ride through the Blue Ridge mountains. The Prince William County Motor Squad performs a demonstration that is always popular with kids and adults alike. The bands, 25 and Out and Half Step Down, light up the event with outdoor performances under the tent next to Lion & Bull restaurant.

Don’t miss this event at Lion & Bull restaurant at 5531 Merchants View Square in Haymarket from 9 am to 2 pm on April 18. Go to officerdownmemorialride.com to learn more about the event and to register and go to odmp.org to learn about the cause.

SCHEDULE YOUR 3D MAMMOGRAPHY TODAY 3D mammography is an advanced, clinically proven technology designed for early breast cancer detection. During the 3D mammogram, multiple projections create a 3D image of your breast tissue. Your radiologist can see breast abnormalities in a way never before possible.

Fauquier Hospital is the only facility in the region to have the new low-dose technology available for 3D mammography; using the same radiation dose as a 2D mammogram. Research studies show that 3D mammography reduces callbacks for additional imaging by up to 16% and increases cancer detection by up to 40%.

Talk to your doctor about whether 3D mammography is right for you.

Once you have a physician’s order, please call (540) 316-5800 to schedule your mammogram appointment.
