FROM THE

Editor

Hi, I’m new...

T

he first story I ever had published was in the literary magazine for the local community college I attended in Orlando, Florida. It was a romantic, historical short story including flashbacks, diary entries and the drama of World War I. I was so proud. Seeing my name in print. It was the biggest thing I’d ever done.

I was not an athlete, a musician, or an artist.

I was a writer.

Over the next several years I wrote for my university’s newspaper, interned at two magazines in Orlando, held a mish-mosh of jobs totally unrelated to writing or publishing (like working with dolphins, true story), and dreamed of the day I could call myself an author or an editor. When my husband and I moved from Orlando to Warrenton less than two years ago, finding an editing job seemed like the farthest possibility in this town nestled close to the Shenandoah. How life surprises you!

I am so thankful for the opportunities I’ve had to write for Warrenton, Haymarket, and Broad Run Lifestyle magazines over the past several months — and even more thankful that I now get to be completely involved from concept to print! I must applaud Debbie Eisele for all the hard work and passion she put into this position before me — I have a lot to live up to. And to Tony, our publisher and editor in chief, thank you for believing that this Florida girl can write about northern Virginia.

Want to write for us? Have an idea or suggestion? Please email me at: editor@piedmontpress.com I can’t wait to hear from you!

Everyone has a story. This is part of mine. I love baking lots of cookies, practicing yoga early in the morning, perfecting the best latte, imagining I speak French, pouring over murder mysteries, and loving my Savior, Jesus Christ. These things are all part of my story.

I look forward to hearing and telling yours.

Rebekah Grier Managing Editor October 2015

RACQUETBALL CHALLENGE a Community Sport

by Danica Low

Every Friday evening at 6:00pm, a group of dedicated racquetball players gather at the Vint Hill Village Green indoor racquetball courts to play ball. They meet year round, summer through fall, winter and spring. The group has historically been men between the ages of 40 and 70, and the common denominator is they all look forward to their racquetball “fix.” Players come from Amissville, Manassas, Warrenton and beyond, for two hours of intense physical activity, camaraderie and competitive play.

The group has been around since coordinator Tom Matthews can remember. In 2010, Matthews solidified the group and has tried to play weekly or every other week since. Some weeks, Matthews says, just a few players show up, and other weeks, up to eight or ten players come to play and two courts are used to host the fun.

The only fee required by Parks and 6

Recreation to play is a $2 Fauquier County resident fee or a $3 noncounty resident fee to use the courts during the designated Racquetball Challenge times on Friday evenings.

Matthews explains that walk-in court time during other days/hours costs a $15 court fee. He’s hoping Parks & Rec will do away with this fee, as he and many others would like to bring family and friends in on other days of the week to enjoy racquetball more often.

However, if you’d like to take advantage of this $2/$3 deal and join the Racquetball Challenge, as a steady member or just to try it for an evening, Matthews and his co-coordinator Bob Moe, express that anyone (age 18 and up) is welcome to play in the challenge – any week they’d like.

Players communicate the old fashioned way – by email. The week of and day before they confirm who

will be available to play in order to ensure there are enough players for a solid game. Summer months tend to thin out, but rev back up as soon as vacations commence. If you’re interested in joining the email list, contact Bob Moe at bob@moetec.com to stay in-the-loop. Pre-registration is not required – just show up with your racquet, a towel, water bottle, sneakers and a ball.

Matthews says, “I play mostly for the exercise and friendly competition, and for the most part, it’s all about the fun and competition.”

Moe says, “I like the competitive nature of the sport and for this reason, I also enjoy playing Pickleball with a group that meets in our area.”

Matthews has been involved in racquetball since 1983, and has played in tournaments and even been sponsored by Wilson Racquets. Several of the regular Racquetball Challenge Broad Run Lifestyle

Most of all, have fun he had found. He’s been playing ever and be prepared to be hit with the ball since.

His advice to someone interested in the sport but who has not tried it yet is to always wear eye protection, find someone with similar ability, and have fun. “Once you determine that you like the sport, it’s important to find someone knowledgeable about the game that can provide pointers to improve your skill ability.

My game improved by practicing these techniques and playing more skilled players.”

Patrick Dwyer of Jeffersonton has been playing with the Vint Hill Racquetball Challenge group for one year. He says he likes playing racquetball because it is just as much a cardiovascular workout as well as a game of precision, strategy, speed, power and endurance. “It also beats the daylights out of running – from an From left to right: Bob Moe, Pat excitement perspective.

These men have fun with their favorite sport and are thankful for the inexpensive Friday night challenges.

However, know full well that these men work hard during those two hours. Sweat bands and extra water, and perhaps a heart rate monitor, may be recommended. This is not a game for the weary! Bob Moe, Tom Matthews and their crew hope additional players will join them on the courts to learn the love of racquetball.

The Autumn Artist Pausing to Reflect on the Splendor of the Season

by Michael Kieffer

10

Autumn. It’s a time when short hikes take hours. Once you enter any woodlot it feels as if you should never leave. If you turn your back for a minute it may all disappear, which of course it will. It is time to exit our daily routine, to reflect on the past growing season and to imagine what lies ahead.

The changing color of the leaves creates this transformation of mind and spirit. An artist has been at work since the first thaw, and no one can create and paint quite like life itself.

The whole process starts because of the fact that broadleaved deciduous trees transpire (emit as a vapor) copious amounts of water. In winter, water freezes and these trees would be left losing more water than they could obtain. So, the tree cuts off the leaf that brings it life in order to keep the leaf from causing its death.

The color explosion begins. Dogwoods (Cornus florida), dwarf sumacs (Rhus copallina), black gums (Nyssa sylvatica), and Virginia creepers (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) lead the way with brilliant reds and purples. Poison ivy (Rhus radicans), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), American elms (Ulmus americana), and birches (Betula spp.) are close on their heels; they will add a fantastic lemony yellow to the stage. Red maples (Acer rubum), silver maples (Acer saccharinum), and sugar maples (Acer saccharum) flash light gold with brilliant orange, pink, and red blush as hickories (Carya spp.) turn a golden tan.

No other tree genus can match the variety and brilliance that the maples—temporary kings of the forest—display. We stare at them for hours and hope with all our might that the wind will not blow and they can remain this way forever.

After the glitter of color has passed, oaks and beeches concede to the season with their deep crimsons, bronzes, and russet tans. These trees will not form a complete abscission layer between leaf and stem, as did their predecessors of the season. Their leaves will remain rattling and rustling through most of the upcoming winter, as if whispering silently about past glories and future conquests.

We find, throughout this season of thanks, a need to see it all. Subtle changes occur daily as the artist is constantly at work. We do not want to miss even the slightest stroke of the brush. In a few short weeks, we can watch leaves go from green to yellow, orange, red, and purple, seeming to summarize life’s full majesty, but ending abruptly as the leaves fall and sprinkle the ground like Fruity Pebbles—a final encore.

Join Bull Run Mountains Conservancy’s many programs this fall including our most popular event Halloween Safari, a guided night hike through the woods where you meet native “wildlife” that perform natural history skits. Go beyond the trails during our Old Home Site program, as we explore cemeteries, foundations and clearings that mark past residences. Then sit back and enjoy a “five leaf” hot breakfast in the woods as Marcia Markey, a local social historian, performs an incredible act based on diaries, letters and other primary sources. Enjoy the autumn season and whatever happens, don’t let the splendor pass you by.

COUGARS’

Pride

Back to School for the Last Time: A STORY OF KETTLE RUN SENIORS

by Harrison Premen

While the month of August signals the return to the daily grind for students across the county, this year means something special to the rising seniors.

Most students can’t wait for the school year to be over, to enjoy the next summer break. However, this is the seniors’ last hurrah—their last prom, their last winter break, and most importantly, the last time they will, hopefully, wake up this early for school. Graduation is just eight months away. Can the seniors contain their excitement? Can they ace the college applications? Can they survive the infamous “senioritis”?

Seniors experience a wide range of emotions about starting their final year.

Some, such as Drew Wilkers, feel as though time has just flown by and that they’ll be in college before they know it. Senior Jamie Rose feels “excited and thrilled to know that I’ll go into the real world” after graduating high school.

Jamie, like most other seniors, wants to make the most out of her last year of high school and enjoy the ride.

Others are less than enthusiastic.

While seniors like Jeremy Totten find this year to be exhausting and just want to finish, others such as Chrissy Shakleford, don’t want to recognize that they’ll be done. When asked about how it feels to be a senior, Chrissy responded, “I’m not a senior. What are colleges? Nope.”

A belief that is shared by most seniors is the anxiety over college applications.

While many dread appeasing their dream schools, others simply dread writing the essays. I worry about both.

Personally, I’m excited about applying to colleges and ready to make my final year a memorable one! It’s time for a new chapter in my book.

Harrison Browning Premen is a Senior at Kettle Run High School (KRHS) and plays trumpet in both the KRHS Marching Band and Wind Ensemble. He is a member of the National Honor Society, Young Americans for Liberty, and the Model U.N. His interests include politics and international relations.

Types of Dog Play

Dog play styles vary greatly depending on the breed, age, and size of the individuals involved. Some dogs have adequate socialization skills to adapt play to a variety of different interactions, whereas others are more concrete in their behavioral repertoire. It is important to observe and learn your dog’s preferences when engaging with other canines in order to minimize risk and maximize fun. Ask yourself — does your dog enjoy stalking, pouncing, and chase games, or does he prefer mouthing, wrestling, and slapping with playmates?

Lets Go

Play!

Park Design

Despite various park designs, the use of small and large dog exercise areas can be greatly advantageous for owners of petite pooches and young puppies. Small dog enclosures prevent risk of injury by boisterous play with larger pets, and is often a more subtle platform to introduce baby dogs to interaction without becoming overwhelmed.

Some parks have a double gate system to prevent animals from escaping during entry or exit, whereas others do not. Be aware while transitioning in order to prevent dogs from accidentally getting out. In order to smoothly transition new visitors to the park, make sure to call your dog back as people enter. This will prevent crowding and allow everyone to adapt better.

Although some parks may have water fountains, containers, or other sources for water, it is best to bring some from home. If water becomes stagnant it can harbor diseases and some dogs may get an upset stomach when drinking water from a novel source, as their body is not used to the difference in minerals or chemicals.

Quit while you’re ahead!

As extended visits may lead to crankiness and exhaustion in your pet.

Responsible Owners

A great deal of responsibility regarding dog ownership in public revolves around control and behavior. Before entering the park,

HAVING A SUCCESSFUL DOG PARK VISIT

by Charlotte Wagner

Broad Run Lifestyle

Call your dog back when others enter the park to avoid crowding and ambushing at the gate.

Know your dog! Some individuals play with all dogs, whereas others are better matched based on breed, age, size, and play style.

watch if people are keeping an eye on their dogs. Are they interrupting play, calling their dogs off, and acting in good manner? Make sure to be aware of your pet at all times, and insist others do the same to prevent awkward exchanges. Grabbing or disciplining a dog that is not yours, or feeding treats to a dog that is not yours is inappropriate without the owner’s consent. Ensure owners are aware if you feel a dog is acting poorly, otherwise feel free to remove your dog or walk away to prevent escalation or a bad experience.

Vaccination and Health

Communicable diseases such as Parvo Virus, Distemper, Canine Influenza, and Kennel Cough can commonly be transmitted in high traffic areas such as dog parks.

Speak with your veterinarian about a preventive health plan for your individual canine to ensure minimal risk of parasites or infection. Keep your pet up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives to maintain good health for your pet and the general canine population (herd immunity).

Keep an eye out for dogs becoming possessive when toys or treats are around.

Teach your dog a good recall to prevent crowding at the gate and to diffuse conflict situations.

Learn to read canine body language to prevent inappropriate escalation of behavior.

Observe other dogs and owners in the park to evaluate whether it is an appropriate environment for your dog.

Quit while you’re ahead! End the visit before your dog becomes cranky or exhausted.

Jump

By Marianne Clyde

There were a lot of raised eyebrows when I decided to jump out of a plane. “Really?

Why would you jump out of a perfectly good airplane?” It stirred up lots of interest and admiration (and those, too, that thought I was crazy.)

I am not a thrill seeker. I do not like to go on rides at the amusement park. They make me queasy. I’m not good with heights. I get that familiar chill through my body when I stand near the edge of a cliff or drive on a mountain road with no guard rails. Why on earth, then, would I be drawn to jump out of a plane? Good question. Not even sure I can answer that myself.

I was intrigued when former president George H.W. Bush skydived for his 80th birthday.

I have thought about it from time to time. But when a friend posted her skydiving photo on

Facebook, and I realized it’s close by and easy to access, I just went for it. The thrill on her face drew me in.

Helen Keller once said, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” We spend so much of our lives playing it safe.

Being risk-averse becomes the norm. Don’t do anything crazy.

You might get hurt. This kind of life philosophy permeates all corners of our lives: our jobs, our parenting, our relationships and communication, and even pursuing personal interests.

Someone might not approve.

Someone might disagree with our decision. Someone might think we’re silly, or stupid, or thoughtless or wrong. Gasp!

Yup. They might. But whose life is it anyway? Just because you stay in your house all day and don’t go out doesn’t guarantee that you won’t get hurt. Do you

watch the news? Just because you stay in a dead-end job because it’s “secure” doesn’t guarantee security.

The financial markets have a mind of their own. Just because you think you do everything right as a spouse doesn’t guarantee that your spouse doesn’t decide one day to up and leave. Telling your kids they can’t do this and can’t do that because it’s dangerous doesn’t keep them safe. It only makes them paranoid and insecure about their ability to negotiate life.

So what does all that have to do with jumping out of a plane?

Everything. I thought it would be a great illustration of what I think life is all about. Yes, as Helen Keller said, it should be an adventure, but it should also be joyful and peaceful even amidst all the lurking dangers.

It should be at once thrilling and peaceful. That’s exactly how I pictured a skydive experience. And it was; but it was even more than that.

The wonderful sense of accomplishment, pride and joy that I felt afterward, even as the adrenaline had my body quivering for probably 30 minutes afterwards.

That’s something that’s mine alone and no one can take that away from me. It’s similar to the feeling I had when I finished my first marathon at age 54. I did it. Or when I climbed Mt. Fuji. Those accomplishments are mine. They increased my level of confidence. Finishing those challenges stretched me in ways that nothing else could. They showed me that if I have an idea, assess and minimize the risks, and develop a plan that is made of small attainable goals, I can actually accomplish anything I set my mind to. And when I do that, a whole new world opens up to me.

These principles apply to any area of your life. Taking the risk to mention something that’s been bothering you for years in your relationship and working toward doing something about it can increase intimacy and create a more joy-filled marriage. Yes, there is a risk involved.

Letting your children make more of their own decisions by thinking through the risk factors with you and 18

teaching them critical thinking skills, can build confident, capable adults.

Yes, there is risk involved.

Deciding to change jobs after 20 years at the same company. Yes there is risk involved.

Buying a new car. Moving to a new neighborhood. Traveling to a fascinating place. Hiring that young, inexperienced kid who is so enthusiastic. Stating a dissenting opinion in a political conversation.

Raising a question when everyone else is just nodding in agreement. Starting that new entrepreneurial endeavor.

Doing something you’ve never done before just for the heck of it.

Yes, there are risks. Yes, you might fail. Yes, it might not be everything it’s cracked up to be. But how will you know? It could be better than you even dreamed. Sylvester Stallone, Walt Disney, Louisa May Alcott, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Edison all took risks over and over and over again.

Many times it looked like they failed; but they viewed it as “just information” and moved on to famous successes! As Wayne Gretzky said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

As the mama eagle says, “You can’t fly if you don’t jump.” So what leap will you take today that might just lead you to a wonderful new adventure? You can join with the crowd nodding in agreement out of fear of rejection. You can stay in the house out of fear that something bad will happen. You can stay in that dead end job out of fear that you can’t find something better. Or you could take the leap to make a change. You might just find out how truly fabulous you are. Your choice.

This article is a metaphor for making well-thought-out changes in your life, not a recommendation to go skydiving.

History

Celebrating the ‘Re-United States of America’ Part 1: George C. Round and his vision for reconciliation

by John T. Toler Large commemorative observances of the Civil War have taken place around the country at least every 50 years, and with two major battles taking place just outside of Manassas, these observances have been of particular importance – and interest.

This year marked the end of the Civil War Sesquicentennial (2011-2015), with special local focus on the First and Second Battles of Manassas. The Civil War Centennial in 1961-65 was also a success, with re-enactments of the battles memorable and well done.

Due to the passage of time, no one still alive witnessed the first grand anniversary observance of the Civil War at Manassas, which took place on July 16-21,

COL. EDMUND BERKELEY 20

1911, marking 50 years since the First Battle of Manassas.

The six-day event was called “The National Peace Jubilee and Reunion of the Blue and Gray.” Unlike the commemorations marking the 100th and 150th anniversary observances, the primary focus of the Peace Jubilee was bringing together Civil War veterans from both sides on the 50th anniversary of the first great battle of the war, and creating bonds of friendship and reconciliation.

To this end, the Peace Jubilee was a great success. Events were planned that encouraged participants from both sides to recall the courage and sacrifice witnessed at the First Battle of Manassas. While the

WESTWOOD HUTCHISON

1,000 Civil War veterans of the Blue and Gray honored at the Peace Jubilee had a shared past in battle, the emphasis was on brotherhood, and the struggle that resulted in a “Re-United States of America” for all.

There were several reasons why the Peace Jubilee was organized in this manner, and why it was unique.

Regimental and company-level reunions had taken place in the decades after the war, but an event like the Peace Jubilee bringing veterans together from both sides had not been done before. By 1911, the youngest veterans were likely in their mid-70s, but most were older. For many, it would be their last gathering with their comrades.

LT. GEORGE CARR ROUND Broad Run Lifestyle

Obviously, planning for the Peace Jubilee had to begin years before the event, and Prince William County was fortunate to count among its citizens a man who was perfect to face the monumental challenges an event of that magnitude would require: Manassas attorney and civic leader George Carr Round (1839-1918).

His boundless energy and ability to get things done were only part of his character. A “transplanted Yankee” from Pennsylvania and former Signal Corps officer in the Union Army commanded by Gen. William T. Sherman, he was known for years in his adopted hometown as “Lt. Round.”

He had spent most of his wartime service in the South, and had become “…attached to the Southern people, admiring especially their genuineness and frankness,” according to the Nov. 8, 1918 edition of The Manassas Democrat.

“Having fought for the Northern side, Lt. Round freely and frequently expressed his purpose in moving to Virginia to be his desire to help build up the territory that he, as a soldier, had aided to destroy.”

By the time he assumed chairmanship of the Peace Jubilee Committee, Lt. Round had already established a solid reputation in Prince William County. Serving with him were Westwood Hutchison (1846-1935), a Manassas banker and Confederate veteran who served in Co.

B, 39th Virginia Cavalry, and G. Raymond Ratcliffe (1870-1944), a Manassas banker and builder.

Community Support Assured Measuring the level of local support for the Peace Jubilee was not an issue, as the Civil War represented a significant part of the county heritage, and interest was always high.

For example, the June 22, 1911 edition of the Manassas Democrat carried a front-page story entitled “Rifle a Grim Relic of Death Trap,” about a Spencer cavalry rifle found in the mud of the old factory dam on Broad Run at Buckland.

It was assumed that a Union soldier had dropped the weapon on Oct. 19, 1863, during the battle and retreat known as the “The Buckland Races.”

In addition to Lt. Round, there were a number of surviving veterans in Prince William, notably Haymarket residents Col. Edmund Berkeley (1824-1915), who led the 8th Virginia Volunteers (the Evergreen Guard), and Dr. Henry M. Clarkson (1835-1915), who served as a gunner and later as a surgeon in the Confederate army.

The Manassas Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and other ladies’ groups in the county quickly offered to provide entertainments and to prepare food for the celebration. The Town of Manassas and the county public schools

also enthusiastically supported the effort, and would play significant roles in the celebration.

Creating a schedule of events evolved over the months before the Peace Jubilee, and involved inviting high-level speakers from the U.S. government and Commonwealth of Virginia, as well as the veterans’ groups then in existence.

U.S. President William Howard Taft was contacted, and accepted the invitation to be the main speaker at the concluding event of the Jubilee on the afternoon of Friday, Aug. 21, 1911. Following his presentation, the President and his party were invited to a reception at Annaburg, the Manassas home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Portner.

State leaders who accepted invitations to speak at the Peace Jubilee included Virginia Gov. William H. Mann and U.S. Senator Thomas S. Martin.

Representatives of national veterans’ groups who would participate were Gen. John E. Gilman, Commander-in-Chief of the (Union) Grand Army of the Republic, and Gen. George W. Gordon, Grand Commander of the United Confederate Veterans. Sadly, at the last minute, Gen. Gordon became ill and missed the Peace Jubilee. He died three weeks later.

Concurrently, word of the event was spread – primarily through press releases sent to local newspapers throughout the

U.S. – inviting all veterans of the Civil War to participate in a reunion on Henry House Hill on the morning of July 21, 1911, as well as the other Peace Jubilee events.

Responses from Union and Confederate veterans began to flow in, and were recorded by the committee in order to secure a headcount. Some of the veterans’ responses included comments.

“In this fair, united land of freedom, may we by God’s favor dwell in peace and harmony to the end of days,” wrote S.S. Rahm, of Jacksonville, Fla., who served in the 5th Georgia Cavalry.

J. T. Cooper of Butler County, Pa., who served in the 100th Pennsylvania, reflected this sentiment in a poem: “Ha, comrades, wrinkled Old and gray, O let your hearts be Light and gay When meeting boys we used to know, Who fought with us not long ago.”

As the magnitude of the Jubilee became apparent, plans were made to accommodate the influx of participants. At the time, the population of Manassas was about 1,200, and area hotels and boarding houses were advised of the expected numbers.

In addition, the facilities at the old Eastern College in Manassas were prepared for early arrivals, and the Hopkins Company, which provided electric lights in the town, offered to illuminate the decorated colonnade on Battle Street with hundreds of electric lights “…upon payment of the cost to operate their engine (generator).”

In addition, an appeal went out for owners of private homes “…to be open for the reception of guests when the crowd reaches its height. Manassas will take care of its guests,” according to the July 13, 1911 edition of the Democrat. Those able to do so were directed to contact Richard S. Hyson or John H. Burke, of the Peace Jubilee Entertainment Committee.

Willing to do their part to support the Peace Jubilee, the railroads serving the region offered reduced fares of up to 60 percent off for participants. In order to properly decorate the town for the Jubilee, the Washington Decorating Co. was hired to hang bunting and flags along the streets leading to the courthouse, and businesses and residents encouraged to decorate their properties as an expression of civic pride. Plans were made for the speakers’ platform at the courthouse.

In order to preserve the Peace Jubilee events for posterity, the committee hired Almeron Newman, of Rochester, N.Y., as the official photographer of the Jubilee. Mr. Newman, who had done work for both the Grand Army of the Republic and the United Confederate Veterans, and was equipped to take panoramic photos.

Dr. R. A. Gamble, president of the Columbia Cinematography Co. of Petersburg, Va. secured the exclusive right to make silent motion pictures of all the Peace Jubilee events. Sadly, the events were shot on nitrate negatives, and no copy of the film survived.

Civil War veterans traveling to Manassas for the Peace Jubilee registered for the events at this building in Manassas, which housed the law offices of C.E. Nicol and Bryan Gordon, and the National Security Co. Library of Congress.

fall fashion faves: WHAT WE’LL BE WEARING THIS SEASON

by Rebekah Grier With crisper weather on the way, a pumpkin spice latte in your hand, and Friday night football games on the calendar—autumn is finally here. Several strong trends walked the runway for fall fashion this year, including a turn toward Victorian gothicism, 70’s boho, turtlenecks, pattern mixing, monochromatic, fur and fringe.

Whether you like to be “ontrend” or not, there are always those staple pieces you just can’t survive autumn without. That pair of boots perfectly broken in. The slouchy knit sweater. That wellworth-it splurged-on cashmere scarf. We spoke with four local boutique owners to discover their fall fashion faves—and learned about the staples you could be wearing this season to balance out all that fringe.

24

“My favorite fall fashion staple is a vest. It can be used as a layer for extra warmth or as a pop of color to put the finishing touch on your outfit. You can use it to dress up a long sleeve tee or as an accent piece to a blouse. They are perfect for those cool, fall mornings when you need some warmth but a jacket is too much. Plus, you can wear them into winter as a base layer under your cozy winter coat! Our personal favorite vests this year are from Joules in earth tones, neutrals, and bright colors. They are great because they come in several different fits and weights so everyone can find a style that works for them.”

lee owsley OWNER OF LATITUDES FAIR TRADE

“My favorite go-to fashion accessory? Roll-on bracelets. I can wear one (or more!) depending on my mood and the look I’m trying to achieve.

They’re really comfortable, easy to get on and off, and add the perfect pop of color and sparkle to any outfit. The other reason I love them is that I’ve seen first hand how the company benefits the people who so carefully craft them. On a visit to Nepal, my daughter and I met some of the employees and watched them being created. I can enjoy great fashion and know that I’m making the world a bit happier every time I sport my favorite accessory. What could be better?”

sandra packwood OWNER OF DEJAVU CONSIGNMENT

“My first pick…boots. Not any kind of boots, my favorite pair of boots. They are Etienne Aigner black leather riding boots. I found them about ten years ago in a consignment store. They are absolutely perfect. They fit like a glove, go with everything and I can go anywhere in them. Paired with jeans and a sparkly top for dinner, or to outdoor adventures matched up with a sweater, scarf and great jacket. Oh yes, the jacket. My second pick. It was love at first sight. It’s a Miller Vintage black wool riding jacket. It’s cut like a blazer, just a little longer. I can pair it with pants or jeans, a skirt or a dress. Just put on a belt or match it with a scarf. What I love about my boots and jacket is that they are absolute classics. I can’t go wrong with either of them. They are high quality materials and have lasted a long time and I will have them even longer.”

barbara ebbets OWNER OF BE BOUTIQUE

“There are many important items and accessories in my wardrobe. My favorite by far is the denim jacket! With the weather changing up and down, a jacket is a must no matter what the season. It can change my outfit from dressy to casual. There are six clothing personalities (classic, neutral, dramatic, town and country, romantic and delicate), and all are available in a jacket—so there’s an option for everyone. And I like to add pins and pendants as a fun accessory.”

HIKING • HELPING • HEALING Hiking with a charitable vision

by Andreas A. Keller The idea to go hiking on a regular basis was birthed in the waning years of the last decade at Molly’s Irish Pub in Warrenton. Over many rounds of drinking craft beers this simple idea grew into a local hiking club with 140 members under the moniker “Boots ’n Beer” with the by-line “A Drinking Club with a Hiking Problem.”

The main motivation for this hiking club was to offer an antidote to our modern lifestyle, knowing that getting outdoors and into nature is a highly restorative tonic for body, mind and spirit.

With the Shenandoah National Park at our doorstep, who could ask for a more beautiful gift than hundreds

of well-maintained hiking trails, aweinspiring vistas, not to mention all the local taverns you can find at the end of a hike! We were off, hiking when we could.

When Jim Carson, the founder of Boots ’n Beer, broadened the club’s mission from being just another hiking club to one with a charitable vision, we Boots & Beers fo

Initially we began by furthering causes that were personal to our hikers via donations and sponsoring fundraising events. But recently we expanded our scope by volunteering, participating in, and raising funds for CureSearch’s Ultimate Hike for Children’s Cancer, a 21.7 mile oneday endurance hike in Dolly Sods Wilderness in West Virginia This year’s hike was CureSearch’s biggest event to-date at Dolly Sods Wilderness in West Virginia with all 36 hikers completing the 21.7 mile hike!

More importantly, this group of hikers, hailing from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington DC, Charlottesville, Richmond, and Raleigh, raised over $130,000 to help put an end to children’s cancer.

Talk about a great group of people! These are mothers, fathers,

and siblings who have tragically lost a child but have turned the tragedy into dedication and hope for others. They trained for months to make the hike, and their determination, bonding, and accomplishment was inspirational, jubilant, and deep for all of us.

Boots ’n Beer Charities was honored to contribute by offering our skills in the training and at the event.

Jim Carson coached the Richmond and Charlottesville teams and hiked in memory of his son Kevin; Andreas Keller volunteered during the training hikes and on the event weekend in memory of his friend George Wotton; and Cooper Wright not only volunteered for the event, but also took on the fundraising commitment and raised over $5,000 and hiked in memory of Finley Broaddus.

LIFTING YOUR

Spirits

Visitors from Arlington Robert and Amy Fischer and Paul and Margaret DiPietra enjoy an afternoon in the vineyard.

Owners, John and Holli Todhunter

THREE FOX VINEYARDS “Leave your troubles at the railroad tracks,� is the inspiration for Three Fox Vineyards in Delaplane. The railroad tracks are at the bottom of the hill before the entrance to this enchanting hilltop vineyard and winery styled on a Tuscan cantina.

Three Fox is the realization of a dream by biochemist John Todhunter and his wife, Holli. This 20-year-old winery features several Italian wines not found elsewhere locally, along with some local, familiar wines, like Chardonnay, Viognier and Cabernet Franc.

The whites are on the dry side, with the stainless Reserve Chardonnay recommended for grilled chicken and shellfish. The light Pinot Grigio is light but pairs with white pizza, Caesar salads and roasted pork and poultry.

The dry Viognier is wonderful with goat cheese, while the Gatto Biano Viognier Chardonnay blend

plays with your tongue and is recommended with seafood.

The Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are worth a visit by themselves. The Reserve Sangiovese, while light, pairs with pasta, roast chicken, veal and even lamb. Try the Volpe Sangiovese, blended with Cabernet Franc for a bigger taste. The Nebbiolo is another surprisingly light red with a big taste that should be served with red meat. This is also a wonderful addition to any cellar, as it ages well.

Rounding out the reds are the Cabernet Franc, which can be aged up to 10-15 years, the Merlot, which can be sipped with a cigar, and the Chambourcin, which resembles a port but is not fortified.

Three Fox welcomes families with children and pets. Everyone is invited to picnic on the hill, by the stream, rest in the hammocks provided, or play with Frisbees, horseshoes or with the cornhole sets.

Steve Oviatt is the former 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.

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.
