A STORY WRITTEN BY A

COMMUNITY

By Aimée O’Grady

I

n the 1980s, Karen White of Morgantown, near present day Marshall, Fauquier County, was an amateur genealogist. She researched her family line as a hobby having heard her grandmother referred to as Cousin Minnie for decades. Over time she learned that it wasn’t simply a term of endearment. The people who referred to her as a cousin, were in fact, all cousins.

During a conversation at a family reunion with Karen

Lavore, whose family roots are in Fauquier, the women discovered that White’s GreatGreat-Grandfather, Brister Grigsby, had handed Lavore’s Great-Great-Grandfather, Henry Welch, a deed for land purchased from former Fauquier County slave owner William J. Morgan’s widow. Morgan had enslaved Grigsby’s wife Nancy Glascock and their children.

He was a justice of the peace and, according to historian John K. Gott, provided a safe

house for Mosby.

Through research, White and Lavore were able to document their families’ history of coming out of slavery into the community of Morgantown. By 1992 they quickly realized that this was far greater than just their genealogy, “It is a story of a people that was not easily accessible in textbooks or general knowledge base,” explains White.

The Afro-American Historical Association (AAHA)

was officially recognized as a nonprofit in 1997 and will celebrate 20 years of storycollecting next June. White and Lavore launched the endeavor a few years prior in 1992 and began operation as a nonprofit at that time.

A quarter of a century of collecting artifacts, images, documents and testimonies has only scratched the surface of their mission of filling in the overlooked portions of local history.

The effort became a labor of

love, often requiring that the two women make frequent trips to Richmond to obtain documentation unavailable elsewhere. The women have determined that some of the most reliable histories could be found in diaries, family papers and notes recorded in Bibles. AAHA also relies heavily on oral histories, supported by documentation from primary sources such as county records, newspapers and church records.

One of the first projects of the group was to publish a historical document detailing the appearance of the “Free Negroes” within Fauquier County. Referred to as the Free Negro Register, the

It soon became clear to her that the museum project could be used to help process the experiences of her ancestors and work through the raw emotions brought out by that understanding.

“I needed to find something positive regarding this register and not compare it to today’s standards. The register is comparable to a current day license and at the time it gave the free Negro certain rights,” says White. The project also gave White a physical description of the person, which afforded her a better visual of the people

of the time. Over the years, White has recognized that it is important to look in the mirror and acknowledge one’s own prejudices, “You may not even know or be aware of them.

Research for the museum has become a process of selfexploration and healing.”

Fast forward three decades to today where White is the

Executive Director of the Afro-American Historical Association in The Plains.

The association serves as the prime reference library for the history of the African Americans in the county, chronicling the footprints to change for the American men, women and children of African Descent within our region, juxtaposed with the same path to change occurring nationwide.

“Originally, my idea was to have a simple archive for people to reference, but as the idea developed, members of the community began to bring things into me and a museum began to take shape,” explains White who is quick to correct that the museum is not her creation. “The community built this museum.” It was White’s childhood Pastor, Roselle Stonewall Jackson, who planted the seed for a museum, “He said he would like to see the original Morgantown Church as a community museum to house the early minutes and pieces such as Papa Jesse’s cane.”

White says, “His comments resonated in me and once

people began bringing items to us, I saw the community’s ownership of history.”

Occupying 2,200 square feet, the space is indeed filled with artifacts from the community. Items include a wedding gift in the Egyptian exhibit from Lavore’s former in-laws, one employee’s daughter’s fourth grade school project, a ceremonial gourd from a local photographer’s travels, a spear obtained by a Marshall Middle School teacher who traded used t-shirts for it, and hundreds of photographs of community members’ relatives.

The self-guided exhibit begins with a map of Africa, painted by Claire Stokely AAHA volunteer, illustrating the nations of African 9001500 west coast tribes, each with a unique culture and language, who were taken from their homes and brought to new lands as slaves.

Special attention is given to Egyptian natives. “Children often forget that Egypt is part of Africa, so we created a separate display to help them connect the country to the region,” says White.

Slave ship mural

The conditions of holding cells and slave ships are displayed adjacent to the African tribal pieces. This is followed by a display of Jamestown with a map of Fauquier County superimposed on it, “Everyone knows about Jamestown, but what was happening in Fauquier County at the time? It is very important to us that we make a local connection for all the students who pass through the museum.”

The map indicates the county’s Native American trails that were present at the time Jamestown was being settled. The map highlights present day landmarks where Native American artifacts were discovered such as Peter Pocum’s Pulpit, Kelly’s Ford and The Old Tavern.

From there the tour takes visitors through history. Photos of Fauquier residents who were born during the early to mid-1800s ,with accompanying paperwork, documents just some of the trials and tribulations of the local African American population. A special tribute to the Harriet Tubman and the Underground Ground Railroad occupies one display and incorporates newspaper clippings advertising rewards for captured runaway slaves. “There are 300 plus people documented by advertisements that left Fauquier County as fugitive slaves during the time of the Underground Railroad and this doesn’t include the contrabands of war or the 300 plus that left to join the United States Colored Troops,” explains White.

As the exhibit continues, the reconstruction-era begins to take shape.

prominent roles within the community, establishing schools and churches.

Often facing resistance from white community members. A colored man, Anthony Dangerfield, whose prominence and increased wealth made neighbors uncomfortable, was burned out of his home and blacksmith shop three times.

Documentation illustrates the struggle each individual fought to achieve and maintain their freedom.

One AAHA exhibit pays homage to the 19th century artist Richard Norris Brooke who lived in Warrenton from 1847 until his death in 1920. His 1881 oil painting titled, “A Pastoral Visit” depicts an elderly minister at a table of parishioners.

Described as one of his most celebrated works, it portrays the family as a domestic unit engaged in an activity important to both white and black families alike. In 2008, AAHA added a recreation of the scene with the help from community members such as Sherrie Carter, owner of Sherrie’s Stuff in Warrenton, who designed the table and fireplace, and AAHA employee Norma Logan who contributed the window and assisted Carter in construction the door, and the Liberty High School Art Department who designed the sculptures.

Over the years, White realized she was telling a story, one often left out of history books. “Knowing the true history of our region makes it a richer place to live,” she explains. Today, community and family traditions continue as hundreds of descendants gather for family reunions and church

homecomings. The third Sunday in August, Mt. Nebo Morgantown, Beulah Markham and St. John Hurley continue their homecoming services to celebrate the church histories, as well as the hard fought freedoms of their ancestors and to reunite with relatives. “The museum serves as an addition to Fauquier’s history. People can look at a richer history. It is part of our mission to fill the holes in history where there are absences or omissions,” she explains.

The museum concludes where it began, in Africa with an exhibit that pays homage to President Barack Obama’s ancestral home of Kenya. The exhibit also includes artwork and photos from one of his inaugurations. But the story doesn’t end there. The footprints to change for the African American residents within Fauquier County and the nation is a path that continues on with each group that passes through the museum. “I remember one class group that included a tall, young, AfricanAmerican boy. He walked at the back of the group with his head down. Halfway through the tour, he stood tall and proud leading the tour talking about different places having recognized the landmarks and learned more about the history of his people.” White welcomes all members of the community and guests to our region to visit the museum to fill in the holes of their own understanding of Fauquier County history. ❖

Lifelong Love Of Drawing Inspired Career Vint Hill tattoo artist, Patti Koglin

by Debbie Eisele

rawing has been a lifelong love and form of expression for Patti Koglin. Her professions have always included artistic flair. From being a master hairstylist to a professional tattoo artist, Koglin always finds a way to incorporate a creative outlet.

“I was always drawing. My cousins and I used to draw together all the time. We didn’t have video games and phones, like kids do now. It was fun spending hours creating.” Although Koglin has dabbled in painting and pastels, she still prefers drawing as her primary medium. “It comes naturally to me. I take inspiration from others and

reinvent it to fit my style,” she noted. “I am an observer, I tend to sit back in the crowds and watch everything. My eye gravitates toward color, but I will draw whatever I am feeling at that moment.”

The entire tattoo process is quite involved and requires creativity as well as confidence. Unlike drawing or painting, if a mistake is made the artist can’t fix it by erasing or painting over the piece. There is no crumpling or throwing away paper if a mistake is made.

“The skin is a very unique medium.

There is a certain precision that comes with this type of art. There is a specific depth and technique that has to be mastered in order to create a beautiful, lasting image. That’s why it is important to consult with a professional, so no damage will occur to your skin,” described Koglin. Artistically, there is quite a difference between tattoo creations and other forms of art. Koglin elaborated, “It’s more challenging. It’s permanent. It is on the skin and is very personal to the individual obtaining the tattoo.”

“My role is to put their ideas onto paper first. I enjoy the creative side of custom artwork because I have more flexibility and I get to know my client much better,” observed Koglin.

“The stories clients share give me

a better sense of how to develop the illustration to mean something to them.”

Koglin described the process, “Sometimes they have a concept in mind, or they will show me an example.

Other times I will show them images to ensure I understand their vision. The end result is sometimes a combination of what they have shown me and what I have shown them. It’s truly a creative process between both of us. Ultimately, I refine the design into something truly unique for each client.”

Developing a customized tattoo is sometimes completed quickly. Other times it may take multiple meetings and

over 20 drawings to ensure the perfect match. Koglin’s walls are filled with works in progress, no two designs are alike.

“The girl tattoo on the wall is my favorite because I struggle with drawing the human face. The face is an incredibly difficult subject to master. I admire artists who have mastered facial details,” Koglin said. “The drawing isn’t photorealism, but is drawn in my preferred style,” explained Koglin. One of her favorite artists, Nikko Hurtado, is a portrait artist. “He is the best in the entire country. His works are stunning,” Koglin enthused. She aspires to emulate his work with the degree of detail this artist is known for, in her own style.

Also adorning her walls are other drawings she has created.

Her talent helped to create the logo for Iva Bella Tattoo. The original logo drawing for the initial concept is framed and displayed for viewing.

So what inspires Patti’s designs? “My emotions. What I am feeling helps me to draw. Those feelings can come from discussions with my clients and learning their stories. That’s why I feel it is so important to know them.”

Patti offers excellent service as well as a tattoo care regime that is top notch. “My designs and quality of our environment, product and artisanship is something our customers really like. Even our after care is important,” described Patti. “The balm we use is made here in our shop and is one of our Simply Pure products. It’s all natural, petroleum free and assists in the healing process. It also helps with color vibrancy.”

Koglin takes pride in her accomplishments. Mary Lieb, co-owner of Iva Bella, reiterated this sentiment, “Patti isn’t just focused solely on the art, she cares about the client.

Some clients have come to her asking her to fix a tattoo done elsewhere. She’s honest, provides professional guidance and lets them know if it can be fixed to meet their expectations or not. She will turn customers away if it is in their best interest and will not do the work if it will harm them in anyway.”

Patti’s passion for the arts is evident in her chosen profession, but she also wants to share it with her sons; Ethan (3 years old) and Evan (5 years old). Her husband is a volunteer firefighter and captain in Warrenton and she was concerned her sons wouldn’t show any interest in art. “It’s heavy competition when you compare drawing to fire trucks and trains, especially to little boys,” she declared. Her son, Evan is now showing a strong interest in art and Koglin said, “I cling to it and hope he continues.”

Iva Bella Salon in Vint Hill, owned by Mary Lieb and Lanny Cornwell and led by Creative Director James Cornwell, is a full service hair salon. They also own and operate Simply Pure Products which offers all natural lifestyle products such as make up, shampoos, lotions and more.

Recently, Koglin celebrated alongside Lieb and the Cornwells at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the expansion of Iva Bella services.

Lieb expressed why their business expanded to include tattoo art, “We were having a staff meeting and everyone was encouraged to share something about themselves. Patti told the group she was a tattoo artist - we had no idea.”

That staff meeting provided the inspiration to have Patti offer her artistic talents to clients, but quickly became much more than that to the owners and management at Iva Bella.

“Expanding into this service was perfect because of the creativity involved.

Everyone here has a natural creative flair, providing the basis for our upscale boutique services,” noted James Cornwell.

“Iva Bella is a destination,” expanded James Cornwell. “The personal, welcoming environment is conducive for first time clients or ones who have multiple body art creations already.

Our high level of service and relaxing environment help clients relax, and that is really important,” detailed Lieb.

“Adding these services was a natural fit with our other business entities.

An example of this is the ink we use for tattoos; it is the highest quality all natural vegan ink on the market and available in the US.” Knowing what type of ingredients are in the ink is important to Koglin and the the owners. “It’s important for me to know what we are putting into the skin. Some tattoo parlors may use ink from countries like China. That ink is not regulated and you don’t know what’s in it. That’s why the all natural, biodegradable, eco friendly product we

use matters to us,” divulged Koglin.

Koglin’s profession and art form may not be for everyone, but her artistic talents can be admired. Art enthusiasts of all types intrinsically enjoy various mediums that express creativity, whether it be in a drawing, photography, painting, sculpture or tattoo design. It is the continuous commitment from Koglin to create, inspire, improve techniques, and try new subjects that makes her audience wanting to see more.

“I love being a tattoo artist. My education never stops. I always aim to create a better design,” explained Patti. “I believe that everyday I need to tell myself ‘today I will create the best tattoo I have ever done’. Because if I keep learning and creating, it will continue to make me a better artist.” ❖

Debbie Eisele is Jill-of-all-trades including writer, editor, certified horticulturist, education advocate, President of the Board of Directors for Allegro School of the Arts, wife, and mother of twins. When she’s not busy saving the world, she enjoys a cup of coffee and being in the great outdoors.

UNLEASHED Local Marianne Clyde, a licensed marriage and family therapist at the Center for Holistic Psychotherapy on Ashby street and online at curious.com/mommyzen, as well as a Warrenton Lifestyle magazine contributing writer, has recently published her second book, Un-Leashed: Practical Steps to Get Your Life Unstuck!.

We’re excited to share a behind-thescenes look at her new book.

{ October 2016 |

BROAD RUN LIFESTYLE

}

Q &A Hi Marianne! Thank you for sitting down with us to discuss your book Un-Leashed: Practical Steps to Get Your Life Unstuck! that released at the end of May. WLM: Tell us a little bit about your book, what is it about?

MC: It’s about how we get stuck in certain cycles of thinking and how to get ourselves free from that so we can have a healthier, happier life. It teaches the reader about the principles of paying attention to your beliefs and reactions to determine how we get ourselves stuck. It goes on to teach simple principles to untangle ourselves from that.

WLM: Why this topic?

MC: My thrill and passion is to see others set free and breaking through barriers that prevent them from living the abundant life that I believe we are all created to live. We tend to make it much more difficult than it really is. We often look to others to set us free, but the truth is we have everything we need within ourselves to do it.

WLM: How do you feel that your book is different or unique from other books written about a similar topic?

MC: Many self help books seem to promise a magic formula of one method or another. I point out that everything that you need is already within you and I teach the reader how to access those tools and put them to use immediately in any situation.

WLM: What personal experience do you have with this topic? (provide some biographical information here as well) MC: I have been teaching these principles and helping people be set free for over 26 years. I have had the privilege to practice therapy in several locations around the U.S. and Japan.

I have travelled to over 20 developing countries to teach healing from trauma and personal empowerment.

I have seen many hurting people and I know how they can be set free, so I feel like it’s not only my privilege, but my obligation, to share what I know. As I get older, I realize that this is a great, freeing, and empowering message

that is just so simple that it would be a shame not to share it as widely as I can. It’s a message everyone needs.

WLM: What do you hope readers will take away from this book?

MC: A sense of personal power and the knowledge that they can change their thoughts at any given moment; thus releasing themselves from a self imposed prison of reactivity and feelings of anger, resentment and sense of abandonment that leads to unhealthy coping mechanisms.

WLM: How long did it take you to write this book?

MC: At the beginning of 2016, I created a 4-week teleclass called the Un-Leashed Life. This is the basic manuscript from that course.

It took about a month or so to create the course and then another couple of months to rework the manuscript and go through the editing process working it into a book.

WLM: What was the hardest part about writing this book?

MC: Looking through the research and sifting it into a few studies that get my point across to explain how the brain actually gets changed when we change our thinking and become aware of our ability to do that.

WLM: What was the easiest?

MC: Coming up with ideas I want to share with the world. My mind is always working to produce clear and helpful ways to crystalize my message for different audiences.

WLM: How did the book change from your initial vision to what it actually became?

MC: I was originally going to take the tele-class and extend it into a more intense coaching experience so that I could work with more people with their specific needs. But the more I thought about it, I can reach more people with this message of hope and a sense of their personal power with this format. I still might offer the more intense coaching platform as well for those who have expressed interest in working within that format.

Many self help books seem to promise a magic formula of one method or another. I point out that everything that you need is already within you.”

WLM: Where can people buy the book?

MC: It’s available at Amazon. com in paperback, kindle and audio.

WLM: Did you self-publish?

Why did you choose that option?

MC: I did self publish. It was such a simple straightforward process with my last book, that I thought I’d do that again. Not that I wouldn’t like it to get picked up by a publisher, but getting the word out is pretty much up to the author anyway. There are also more delays with a bigger publisher and I wanted to get it into people’s hands as quickly as possible.

WLM: What are you most proud of about this book?

MC: The testimonials and stories of people for whom these steps really worked and changed their lives. That’s why I do it.

WLM: Is this your first published book?

MC: No. I wrote one about

20 years ago or so, which was my first attempt. But 3 years ago, I wrote Peaceful Parenting: 10 Essential Principles based pretty much on the same principles.

Knowing that “more is caught than taught” in parenting, I wanted to write a book that helped parents take responsibility for their own sense of well being, as that is what makes us better parents. At that time many people said that that book was great for all people, not just parents, so I thought I’d write a book for the more general population.

WLM: Can we look forward to any more books by author Marianne Clyde?

MC: I am currently working on one that should be available by the end of the summer for businesses. ❖

Marching Band An Equally Laborious and Gratifying Sport

by Joseph Kim

A

s we approached August this year, schools all across the county were organizing themselves for the new academic year while students enjoyed the last few days of their lax sleeping schedules. However, members of the Kettle Run Marching Band had already attacked their two-week long conditioning camp in preparation for the arduous marching season, as is the notorious tradition. The hundreds of hours the ensemble dedicated to their renewed performances is always displayed in the Kettle Run home football game halftime shows. As a section leader for the front ensemble, I have the privilege of watching my peers mature as musicians and as teammates during practices and games, and it’s a truly rewarding experience to be a part of their development. I’m excited to see what the collective group will produce this season.

The members of the Kettle Run Marching Band are subjected to 10 hours a day of taxing physical labor in order to memorize their music and maneuvers on the field during the two week camp. Starting early in the morning, the band met in a large circle to do various stretches and exercises in preparation for the demanding workload they would receive later in the day. This year, temperatures remained constant in the range of 90-100 degrees Fahrenheit,

and still the marchers assembled on the football field. As they shambled in for lunch every afternoon, their sweatsaturated clothing and irrefutably irritable attitudes only reflected too well how uncomfortable the working conditions were for that day. Regrettably, the front ensemble never had to leave the sanctuary that is the air-conditioned school, so we’ll never be able to empathize with the rest of the band in that sense.

Football is an essential element in any public school environment, and the enthusiasm for this sport is only amplified by the band’s celebrated halftime performance. While the opposing teams shuffle off the field, the marchers take their positions and wait for the drum major’s signal. Each year, the band enacts a different story and they always manage to spit out new and exciting twists that captivate the audience. However, as is the case for anything, the first game of the year is always the roughest, and it’s usually peppered with errors that may escape the audience, but not the marchers. Thankfully, it sets the standard for the rest of the season. We can only climb higher from here. It means that the quirks and kinks that fascinate the crowd the first time will fascinate even more so the next performance and that’s the reason why people participate in marching band at all.

I have the incredible honor of working with a talented group of musicians through the obstacles we’ll face during the season as their section leader and peer. This includes providing technical insight on the music and visuals for the show and just generally being someone they can rely on as a leader. I can freely admit that I am, by no means, the ideal candidate for the position, but I honestly try my hardest to be someone dependable and consistent. I enjoy every single day with them on the field during practice and I hope they do as well. I’m so proud of them and grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with them.

The initial conditioning camp is not an easy program to complete, and this is where some people will inevitably decide that marching band is not an activity for them. It may seem like too much to handle, but the overall reward for being a part of the large family that is the ensemble overcompensates for those insignificant couple of weeks.

Members of the marching band strive to be perfectionists in everything they do and this attitude is clearly reflected in their performances. It’s a wild ride from beginning to end for all spectators and I encourage anyone to sit in on one of the Kettle Run Marching Band’s performances this year if they want to be amazed.❖

Equine Practice Evolves to Meet Client Needs T

by Aimée O’Grady

he Piedmont Equine Practice, Inc. founder and Northern Virginia native, Dr. John Nolan, purchased his first horse in high school while training and competing as a trail rider. He met his wife, Renée, also a Northern Virginia native, at Virginia Tech where the two were studying veterinary medicine. The couple married in 1990 while still in school. Following a nine-year career as a farrier, he earned his doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 1991.

The graduates then traveled around the country pursuing internships in California and Pennsylvania, until returning to Northern Virginia and settling in Middleburg in 1993. In 1996, Dr. John Nolan launched Piedmont Equine, an equine ambulatory practice in the Middleburg area and worked as the sole practitioner until Dr. Joe Davis joined him in 1997.

Over the course of the next several years, four friends, alumni, and fellow doctors, Dr. Joe Davis, Dr. Sean Bowman, Dr. Paul Anikis and Dr. Paul Diehl, came on board to form the five partners of today’s Piedmont Equine, each one bringing a unique set of skills and experience to the practice.

After consulting the 1995 Virginia Horse Council which indicated Fauquier and surrounding counties have the most robust equine populations and industry growth compared to other regions in the state, the practice office was located in Marshall and subsequently moved to its current location in The Plains in 2006 when it outgrew the Marshall facility.

While in the process of building their practice, the partners sought to become a resource for the community. In doing so, Piedmont Equine has become an educational source for both young students and those pursuing higher education in veterinary medicine, a value to rescue shelters working on shoestring budgets to care for abandoned and abused animals of all sizes, and community outreach through educational seminars on topics such as colic and geriatric horses.

Students from neighboring Coleman Elementary and Marshall Middle schools have attended field trips at the equine hospital and likewise, doctors from the practice have taken time to visit students in the classroom to provide a

window into the services offered at the equine hospital.

Piedmont Equine has also formed close relationships with local rescues and shelters. “We are looking to continue to expand our community outreach and partnerships with area rescues and shelters,” says Dr. Pam Thayer while checking on a recently neutered miniature Pincher for Healing Hearts rescue in Centreville.

Middleburg Humane Foundation (MHF) has also worked with Piedmont Equine with their Equine Rescue Program. “Piedmont Equine has volunteered their services to Middleburg Humane Foundation (located in Marshall, VA) since the 1990’s. We couldn’t ask for a better neighbor to have around the corner,” says Melanie Burch, Director of Development. She continues, “The doctors have stepped up to help us with dozens of medical emergencies and answer complex questions. Without their selfless determination to help us

save animals, many would not have made it. One great example many in our community may remember is Dominic, the baby donkey. He was born with his intestines on the outside of his body.

If it wasn’t for Piedmont Equine’s lifesaving surgery and subsequent intensive 24-hour care, Dominic would not have survived. With the opening of the new small animal clinic, MHF begins a new chapter with Piedmont.

MHF will utilize Piedmont’s surgical and general health care services for our dogs and cats. With their wonderful response time, Piedmont continues to be the first call we make regarding emergencies for all livestock.”

Part of their educational services include teaching programs for students interested in a career in large animal care. Veterinary students in their third or fourth year of school can apply to an extern program held at the hospital that enables them to shadow doctors for several weeks. Each year, between 25 and 30 students come through the program. Many of these students return as applicants to the practice’s one-year paid internship once they graduate school. The program affords licensed

vets the opportunity to gain hands-on knowledge in sports medicine, as well as general medicine and ambulatory services. “With the newly opened small animal practice, small animal care will be added to the rotation,” says Mandy Steinhoff, Practice Manager.

For years, the partners recognized the need to expand the facility to include services to small animals, in addition to horses, acknowledging that a majority of their clients owned household pets as well. In 2014 the idea came to fruition with the design for an expanded facility. Groundbreaking occurred in December 2014 and in May 2016 The Small Animal Clinic at Piedmont Equine officially opened its doors to the public. The facility has now merged some of the equine ways of practice with small animal care with treatments such as ultrasound-guided injections of joints, clients being present for procedures, and integrating small animal musculoskeletal ultrasonography.

With several of the partners’ spouses, including Dr. Renée Nolan, practicing small animal veterinarian care, hiring senior staff for the small animal clinic was easy. Drs. Joe Davis and Pam Thayer, for example are both veterinarians and avid riders. Dr. Davis is one of the five partners and Dr. Pam Thayer joined the practice in May. The couple has two children, both of whom ride. Their 18-year-old daughter, Kristina, began riding in the

Pony Club when she was just 7-yearsold, and recently rode in the Child/ Adult Twilight Jumpers class at Great Meadow. “Piedmont Equine had the first jump at the show and Kristina came out full speed towards the jump and the horse just stopped short right at the jump,” laughs Dr. Thayer about the prior weekend’s Twilight Jumpers which featured her daughter as one of the competitors.

With its proximity to Great Meadow, the doctors at Piedmont Equine are often on call for events to treat any equine injuries that occur. The first Northern American FEI Nations Cup ™ was held in July at Great Meadow.

This was the first time that the Nation’s Cup was held outside of Europe. Dr. Anikis was honored to be on the course during the show. This is just one of many shows that the practice’s doctors are requested to be on-call for, whether on-site or simply on-call.

Although the Small Animal Clinic has only been open for a few months, it has already treated the expected cats and dogs, as well as some smaller animals such as chickens and a much loved baby turkey, which was brought in by grandparents, parents and children.

Fortunately, the turkey was treated and was sent home with his family.

“Overtime we hope to expand our small animal services to 24/7 emergency,” says Steinhoff. She continues, “We maintain a close relationship with area referral hospitals for treatment of patients requiring specialized care such as avian, exotic medicine, cardiology and oncology.”

The gleaming 5,200 square foot addition offers bench seating with a few chairs to help reduce trip hazards associated with entangled leashes. A quiet waiting area is available for more anxious pets and is also used to display pet food selections. The spacious exam rooms are filled with state-of-the-art technology. A bright treatment area

and assistant to all. Each are an integral part of the family business.

Their family (on Gwynanne’s side) has been in Marshall for 14 generations. Their Marshall roots can be traced back as far as the 1690s.

Entrepreneurship is a familial trait. Throughout decades and even centuries, family members have owned businesses in town. Gwynanne had a dream of opening a gift store. Matthew had a dream of owning a coffee shop. The two melded those dreams together. As a family they are following their passions.

is based in went up for sale, Gwynanne said, “I always loved this building.

I knew it was the time to open the business.” The family made an offer in July of 2014, settled in August and opened their doors on October 16, 2014. There was work to be done and husband, Joe, painted and assisted with the tasks. Although Joe is not involved with the day to day operations he assists in other ways and, according to Gwynanne, “he fulfills our dreams.”

Matthew and Joshua are the coffee gurus. Both men have been trained in-house by professional baristas. Creating new menu items and seasonal beverages is Matthew’s forte. “I like making all the drinks. The nature of creating it, weighing the beans, and water. It takes precision and is scientific,” he said. The youngest son, Joey, with the important taste tester role enthusiastically shared, “The whipped cream is my favorite part.”

A variety of beverages and even pastries are available to customers.

The coffee they use is from a local roaster, Lone Oak Coffee. This roaster has offices in Warrenton and its roasting operations are in Winchester.

Pastry options range from muffins to apple cider donuts and other other tasty treats. These delights are all homemade and from a local source.

“Fall & winter are fun times with all the flavorful options,” noted Matthew. For the fall season, Little Fox’s offers tasty drinks such as a Pumpkin Spiced Latte, Apple Cider Chai and Campfire S’more. Many customers seek out the winter season specials as well. When the cold weather rolls in try one of these delightful treats: Gingerbread, Eggnog, Albino Fox (a peppermint mocha beverage).

The Rogers have committed themselves to offering a place to relax and conversations with friends and neighbors. “When strangers come in, we want them to leave as part of the family,” explained Gwynanne. This motto is upheld by each of them and customers take note.

Frequent customer and Marshall resident, Brenda Boran, said, “It feels like family. I live up the street and if I need time away from home, I come here. They always ask me if I want my regular.” Matthew and Josh both know she prefers caramel macchiato, cold or hot. “The boys know when a customer comes in what they want,” said Gwynanne. “The customers like that.”

Like their customers, each of the Rogers have their favorite beverage.

Gwynanne prefers coffee, no fancy drinks. Josh tends to favor the iced Americano and Matthew loves the Cherry Blossom Latte because “it

tastes like chocolate covered cherries.”

Family time is important to all of them and even closed their doors for a week to enjoy a well-earned vacation. “Our regulars get the ‘taking time off’ part and appreciate it.

They find it healthy,” detailed Joshua. “People are wanting to help family businesses here.

We’ve been blessed by that and their support,” elaborated Gwynanne.

For the Rogers, Little Fox’s is more than a business, it’s part of the community - an extension of family. “Our main focus is outreach; to give back to the community.” Joshua is on the Fauquier Heritage and Preservation Foundation and Gwynanne is on the board of the Marshall Business & Residents Association and Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Association. They sponsor clothing drives during winter months and even host the Marshall Bible Cafe (every Tuesday from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm).

Even local public schools and the PTO have benefited from the Rogers’ generosity. Last year, one day a week during the school year, the Rogers donated ten percent of coffee proceeds to schools in Marshall. Also included in this “giving back” philosophy are first responders.

Fire and rescue personnel along with police officers are offered free beverages in their establishment.

With roots spanning generations, the Rogers know all about belonging to a community and share that feeling with all who walk in their doors. So if you seek a nice cup of coffee, tea, conversation and friendly atmosphere, Little Fox is an ideal destination, located at 8375 W. Main Street, Marshall. ❖

MAKING GREAT

Strides R

esidents of The Plains aren’t surprised to see Batman running up the hill towards Wakefield School during its 5k run/walk fundraiser held each October. As a matter of fact, it is something they have come to expect.

“Oh that’s something I like to do during runs near Halloween,” Bob Gurtler, recently retired Mayor of The Plains, remarks humbly about the costume.

Since High School Gurtler has laced up his running shoes and hit the pavement. Whether it is a 5K or the Marine Corps Marathon, running is something he has done consistently for the past 65 years. “I’ve always been a runner,” he confesses. At eighty, he still registers for events, and while he prefers the shorter 5K distance events, he has been known to participate in at least four events over the course of one weekend and has participated in an impressive 125 races in 2015 alone, ranging in distance from a 3K to 5 miles.

David Colon, Wakefield School Headmaster, is very appreciative of

Retired Mayor Bob Gurtler Gurtler’s support and participation in the school’s fundraiser, “Mayor Gurtler has been a key supporter of our 5k run. He is there in person and - most amazingly - in a Batman costume. The first time I saw him, I asked people who that was and they responded ‘that’s Mayor Gurtler.’ People loved it and flocked around him to say hello and wish him well on the race. His presence and enthusiasm mean a lot to Wakefield and his very visible support makes our school feel incredibly welcome in The Plains.”

Gurtler was one of just over 1,000 runners who participated in the inaugural Marine Corps Marathon on November 7, 1976. During that first event, he recalls the Commander in Chief telling the runners that since they were all in terrific shape, the first 50 finishers would gain automatic eligibility into the Marine Corps. Gurtler laughs when he remembers, “One of my Marine running buddies said that that was incentive enough to finish 51st.”

Gurtler would go on to run the 26.2-mile marathon 16 consecutive times finishing each one with a finishing time of around four hours.

To say that Bob Gurtler is a devoted man is an understatement. Whether it is to his sport of running, his family, his career of nearly four decades, or the town he has called home for the past three decades, Gurtler is a man that can be counted on, which is why he was

elected Mayor of The Plains for four consecutive terms for a total of sixteen years. Prior to his role as Mayor, Gurtler was appointed to the Town of The Plains Planning Commission on April 21, 1997. He was appointed to the Town Council on November 15, 1999 to fill an unexpired term and was elected Mayor in May 2000. When asked about his retirement, he responds, “I feel that I have served my civic duty.”

Chris Malone, Town Council Member, has served with Gurtler over the past ten years. An avid cyclist, Malone admires the fitness example Gurtler sets for the community. “Bob has to be the ‘runningest’ Mayor in the country. He is the US record holder in his age group for the USATF 3000K, and his running club won the national championship in 2015. Malone, who wants to continue to see fitness woven into the fabric of life in The Plains, knows that Gurtler is an inspiration for all of the community’s residents. “Bob sets an important example for our kids.”

On the civic side, Malone recognizes Gurtler’s kindness above all, “More than anything, Bob is known for his compassion. He is also responsible and has helped this town run on a surplus for several years. He has a hands-on, can-do approach to leadership.”

“Bob has a unique sense of understanding the limitations of a small town. He cares about his community.

Sure, I see him lead town meetings and

“What most don’t see are the countless hours that he spends helping others and the town. He helps mow the park, shovel snow, trim trees, paint stripes on parking lots, put up signs, clean drainage ditches and find time to help people with their personal needs...

participate at regional meetings and events. Anyone that goes to a meeting knows he is good at it and knows how to get folks to work together and have a good time,” says Steve Gyurisin, Town Zoning/Subdivsion Administrator and Website Content Curator. He continues, “What most don’t see are the countless hours that he spends helping others and the town. He helps mow the park, shovel snow, trim trees, paint stripes on parking lots, put up signs, clean drainage ditches and find time to help people with their personal needs. I know he has spent lots of time helping others find a place to live or a place to work. He has done a great job and will be missed.”

Over the course of his tenure as Mayor, Gurtler has worked with a dedicated group of volunteers to keep high density development out of the town and bring affordable housing in. “Affordable housing has brought children back to our town.

For a long time, younger families couldn’t afford to live here and the town was losing population,” he says. Today, there are around 25 new children in the town, thanks to Gurtler’s efforts. Driving into The Plains from Warrenton on Route 245 children are often seen playing soccer or other games on their front lawns. “The Plains is a terrific place to raise kids,” says Gurtler.

He continues, “I moved here from Manassas with my daughter as a single dad. It took a village to help raise her and the residents here stepped up to help.”

Today, with a population of only 277 people, the town is run on an annual budget of just over $100,000 and receives over 40,000 hours of volunteer time annually. “A lot of the volunteer hours are brought to town through the all-volunteer fire and rescue department.” Gurtler considers The Plains a great town supported by volunteers. Gurtler’s devotion to The Plains is evident not only by his tenure as Mayor but also by his commitment to casting

his vote in town elections. When it came time to vote on the topic of affordable housing, Gurtler and his wife were on vacation in Hawaii.

Rather than miss the vote, he flew home, cast his vote and then got back on the plane to return to his family vacation.

Gyurisin, who has known Gurtler for ten years, concludes “He is one of the best. He understands the limitations of running a small

town and its most valuable asset the folks that live and work in his town. I will miss his global view of economics brought to the local level during town council meetings and his very strong passion to help people find a place to live. I’m sure he will continue to attend meetings as a citizen to keep us all on our toes.” But residents can rest easy assured that Gurtler isn’t going anywhere. After all the Wakefield School fun/run is scheduled for October 8 and you never know if Batman will be making another appearance. ❖

Kettle Run High School teacher, Mrs. Deavers, shares passion and life skills.

By Debbie Eisele

M

usic has been an intrical part of Elisabeth Deaver’s life since she was born. When she was four years old, she began playing the violin. Now she is a teacher, violinist, french horn player and vocalist. She has been surrounded with music and a passion for the arts throughout her life.

Deavers moved to Fauquier County after graduating from the West Virginia University with a degree in Music Education. This school year marks her ninth year teaching in Fauquier County.

Her first four years were spent teaching music at Brumfield Elementary. From there, Deavers transferred to Kettle Run High School (KRHS), where she has been since.

Her parents were her first and most helpful mentors. Deavers mother has taught elementary music for over 30 years and her father teaches at a college and even performs in a symphony orchestra. “It was big to have them involved,” explained Deavers, as she recounted her childhood.

Other mentors include her elementary and high school

music teachers. “They have all played an important role. I have even visited my high school several times just to visit with them over the years. My music teachers are really the only ones I want to see. We were able to establish close relationships because I had them for four years not just a semester. I developed an emotional connection with them,” described Deavers.

At KRHS, Deavers definitely has her plate full. She instructs two orchestras, three choral groups, is the marching band assistant and the music director for the spring musical. Music education and love of the performing arts is not only a full-time job but a passion for Deavers.

For the past several years, Deavers has devoted her final days of summer to assisting Matt Yonkey, the Marching Band Director. “Summer is over quickly for us. The marching band starts three weeks prior to the first day of school. We meet Monday through Friday from 7 am until 5 pm to prepare for the season,” noted Deavers.

The band plays at home football games, will compete in approximately five competitions (all held on Saturdays) and will partake in state marching assessments.

The String Orchestra she instructs each spring has approximately 45 students.

The Chamber Orchestra, (an audition only class), is comprised of 26 students. The Chamber students are advanced and meet all year long. “When I work with my students all year it makes a difference in the maturity of the

group and their overall ability to perform as a cohesive orchestra,” noted Deavers.

The choral groups are similar to orchestra in structure, but not instruction. There is one vocal group that does not require an audition - the Symphonic Choir.

Deavers calls it the “Y’all Come Choir” and is geared for any student who wants to sing and have fun. The Women’s Vocal Ensemble and Mixed Choral Ensemble are both audition only classes, where students are invited to participate, based upon their skill level. The Women’s Ensemble contains advanced students and the Mixed Ensemble showcases the most advanced students at the school.

Diverse students with diverse talents. That is what Deavers faces each day. Jovially, she explained the difference when teaching choral versus orchestra, “There is an added element when words are used in music. The music tells a story when there are lyrics. There is inherently a deeper connection with the audience in a choir performance.”

Unlike the orchestra, “in a choral group, you are the instrument. It takes maturity to succeed at a high level of achievement, because if you mess up you cannot hide it! The structure of the choral rehearsal is similar to an instrumental one, yet the type of teaching a choral group requires is unique,” opined Deavers.

When asked if she had one experience that was the most memorable, she responded, “There’s way too many to count!

I just graduated my first class of

students who I have had for four years at KRHS - it was like my own babies were graduating.

That’s why I was wearing sunglasses at graduation, because of the tears.”

“My most favorite annual event has to be the Holiday performance. The choir, orchestra and some of the band join forces each year to perform an incredible show,” explained Deavers. “Parents,

I’m an all in person with my family and my job

students, other educators, and all community members are invited to sing with them.

They even practice during the evenings to encourage community involvement. “We perform Hallelujah chorus and it is truly amazing. Parents,

32

BROAD RUN LIFESTYLE

}

grandparents, current teachers, retired teachers and even members from the county schools administration have shared their hidden singing talents,” Deavers enthused.

“The students really like it because they see people in a different light.” Over 100 musicians perform this piece on stage each year for community enjoyment.

Students call Mrs. Deavers “Mama Deavs”. This nickname is an indicator the students are just as enthralled with their instructor as she is with them.

Deavers admitted, “Music is one of the most personal experiences you can have and share with others. It’s a ‘language’. You can make music with other musicians you don’t even know. Music is really for everyone, regardless of age, gender, race or disability.”

She feels she has connected with all her past and current students. “I especially love how former students, working on music degrees, keep in contact with me. We now speak regarding professional issues - as colleagues,” Deavers described.

Austen Smith, a KRHS graduate studying music education at the University of South Carolina, keeps in touch with Deavers. He said, “Ms. Deavers’ students all feel she has a positive personality and is very supportive. Her accomplishments speak for themselves. She is now an amazing friend and a wise teacher who shares her knowledge and experience with all current and past students.”

There is more to her instruction than just music.

“Music teaches simultaneously responsibilities. It activates the creative side of brain. It helps with problem solving and allows students to see there

is more than one way to solve a problem. The experience the group has in achieving a common goal is very powerful.

In a traditional classroom, individual performance doesn’t immediately affect everyone else, in music it will,” described Deavers.

To illustrate her point to students Deavers utilizes a special technique. She will take a “chunk” of music and have the students perform it. Then she has the students make one mistake while performing it the next time. The more students there are, the more mistakes are made. “The result is not necessarily a positive one,” explained Deavers. “My point is to illustrate that one person’s performance affects the overall outcome and experience.”

Using metaphors to create impact is another one of her instruction methods. One of her favorites involves team sports, “If a person on a team doesn’t perform well, they don’t play.

In music, everyone is ‘in the game’ all the time and their performance matters equally.”

She strongly believes that this approach assists students in all areas of study by making them more adaptable, determined and focused. “Unlike sports, there are no substitutions. I strive to push my students in a positive manner and set high expectations for them to achieve success,” she informed.

Deavers admitted there is never a “perfect” performance.

That is the risk factor. Trust is the crucial component when performing with a group, or participating on a team.

“All involved must trust that everyone will do their part. That is the reward. It’s not a ‘me’ - it’s an ‘us’, especially during assessments and performances,” Deavers said.

“Intrinsically, my music students are motivated to be successful. My ‘kids’ are very respectful, well mannered, intelligent individuals with so much motivation. They are all here because they want to be,” said Deavers.

Each school year inherently brings new opportunities.

Deavers’ focus is not only on talent, but also on challenging students. “Every year I help work on strengths and weaknesses of the group and assist them to perform to the best of their ability. I encourage them to stretch their boundaries and limits. I push them to achieve more with different types of music; to be more advanced and express themselves more musically, which inherently shows their talent maturating.”

In the past three years, the music department at KRHS has been awarded the Blue Ribbon music award. This is a state award that is given to schools that achieve a superior rating at assessments for choral, orchestra and band. Students prepare two pieces to perform on stage in front of a panel of three judges.

Performers are scored on a rubric that considers many factors, such as: intonation, music style, professionalism, tone and much more. Scores are compiled for the final assessment rating. Kettle Run High School is the only one in the county in recent years to achieve a Blue Ribbon award, let alone three years in a row.

The accolades of this award truly indicate the immense talent of not only the students,

34

{ October 2016 |

but all their music instructors.

“I’m an all in person with my family and my job.,” Deavers described. She dedicates her professional time and some personal time to KRHS while balancing a family life as well.

As a mother of two young boys and wife to her high school sweetheart, she makes it a priority to share her passion for music with them as well.

Her belief is music instruction parlays into benefits not only in school but in life.

Music skills, acceptance, accomplishments, a team approach and an appreciation for music, is what Deavers hopes students learn from her.

“I want them to learn life skills - how to be a better person.

Music teachers do much more than just teach music. We teach students how to be human; to feel accomplishments; to take risks and to be okay with all of that.” ❖

Fauquier Reaches for Excellence in School Health

By Dr. David Jeck

I

love to drive around Fauquier County and see young children playing outside. As a lifelong baseball fan, I also love to catch sight of a pre-teen playing catch with his dad. And, for me, there’s nothing quite like sitting in the bleachers on a fall night to watch a good high school football game.

There’s just something about seeing kids in action – especially when we live in an age of nationwide concern about childhood obesity and inactivity.

It is my great privilege to serve as superintendent of Fauquier County Public Schools (FCPS), and I am excited to be part of a school division that wants to support a culture of health and fitness for our students and employees. I am thrilled to share the news that something exciting and FRESH is happening in our schools: FRESH is an acronym for Fauquier Reaches for Excellence in School Health, and this program is one that has the potential to be life-changing for our students and employees.

In the fall of 2014 the PATH Foundation invited us to go with them to visit Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools to check out their School Health Improvement Plan, or SHIP, in action. We came back energized and excited to begin a similar program here. In 2015 the PATH Foundation awarded FCPS a one-year planning grant to develop our own school-based health program. FRESH was birthed, and we formulated a five-year implementation

36

}

plan. This year we are initiating that plan in a pilot program in kindergarten through second-grade in all of our 11 elementary schools. Each year we will expand the program to include more grades until, by the fifth year, every grade through 12 is included.

We want students to experience positive health messaging and support in the classroom, cafeteria, after-school settings, home settings, and community settings – ultimately helping our students live healthier lifestyles evidenced by their knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors when it comes to healthy eating and active living. FRESH will involve various components – from incorporating physical movement into instruction to improving cafeteria equipment (for example, replacing fryers with steamers) to helping students make healthier food choices.

Thanks to a substantial grant from the PATH Foundation, we are able to implement FRESH without cost to citizens; the grant covers salaries, equipment, transportation, etc.

This past August we hired the person who will oversee FRESH. Her name is Jessica Lesefka, and she has hit the ground running. Working with Jessica are four Fitness Integration Team (FIT) teachers: Shannon Cox, Cecilia Dohm, Kara Hallet, and J.R. Royston. They began by working on lesson plans to help them integrate physical activity into the general education program. The whole idea is for the FIT teachers to go into a classroom and

use physical activity to help students reinforce their core understanding of academic standards (Standards of Learning, or SOLs) through motion and through use of locomotor skills that the students are learning in their P.E. classes.

Here is one example we actually saw used at the Williamsburg elementary school we visited: The first-grade class had just learned to tell analog time. Williamsburg’s equivalent of a FIT teacher (they go by another name in that school division) came into the classroom during math and took the students outside and gave them cards depicting a clock on one side and the corresponding time on the other.

Students began skipping and when the teacher said stop, the students showed their card to a nearby classmate who had to tell what time it showed. If the student got it right, that student kept the card; otherwise the initial student kept the card and skipped away. The students skipped for one half hour! They were outside, skipping, laughing, and all the while doing a reinforcement activity for telling time.

This is but one component of FRESH. Others include upgrading cafeteria equipment for healthier food preparation, adding programs to educate staff and students about nutrition, and increasing healthy offerings in the cafeteria. As time passes, you will read and hear more about the exciting and meaningful FRESH activities in our schools, made possible through the generosity of the PATH Foundation. The possibilities are truly endless! ❖

Fauquier Hospital Employs Multiple Tools to Detect Breast Cancer

By Robin Earl

I

t’s October, and we’ll be seeing a lot of pink ribbons for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For good reason.

According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second most common newly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States. Screening for breast cancer can detect cancer before it is large enough to be caught through a physical exam – when it is most treatable.

What is 3D Mammography?

As the latest FDA-approved technology in breast imaging, 3D mammography is an advanced, clinically proven screening and diagnostic tool for early breast cancer detection. During the 3D mammography exam, the X-ray arm sweeps in an arc over the breast, taking multiple low-dose images at different angles. A computer produces a 3D image of the breast tissue in one-millimeter slices, providing greater visibility. The radiologist (MD) is able to see the breast tissue in detail never before possible.

Also known as breast tomosynthesis, 3D mammography complements standard 2D mammography and is performed at the same time, with the same system.

There is no additional breast compression and the exam time may be slightly shorter than a 2D exam. 3D demonstrates a 40% increase in the detection of invasive cancer, a 29% increase in the detection of all breast cancers and a 16% decrease in the need for follow-up imaging.

3D and 2D images are taken with the same radiation dose as 2D images alone.

3D mammography can benefit all women who undergo either a screening or diagnostic examination. However, it may be even more beneficial as a first-time baseline mammogram; for women 40 to 60 years old; women with a significant amount of dense breast tissue, or women with a personal history or a close family history of breast cancer.

Not all insurance carriers recognize 3D mammography as a covered service. Fauquier Hospital does not charge for any 3D mammography services that are not covered by your insurance company.

However, the radiologist will bill you separately for their professional interpretation of your mammogram and insurance providers vary in their coverage of this fee. Patients are asked to check with their insurance company if they have concerns about out-of-pocket expenses. ❖

Breast Imaging Services In addition to screening mammographies, Fauquier Hospital offers a full range of breast imaging services: Breast Ultrasound Breast ultrasound does not replace mammograms. It is a supplementary exam for evaluating abnormalities identified on a mammogram and for detecting breast cancer in patients with dense breast tissue. Breast ultrasound also provides guidance to physicians during needle biopsies.

Breast MRI Breast MRI is an important diagnostic imaging examination for some select patients, such as those who are genetically predisposed or recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

It is also useful for patients who are currently receiving treatment for breast cancer or have a history of breast cancer.

Imaging-Guided Breast Biopsy Breast biopsy is performed to obtain a tissue sample from a suspicious area in the breast so that the cells in the tissue can then be evaluated under a microscope. The pathologist then determines what type, if any, disease is present. Fauquier Hospital offers ultrasound, stereotactic (X-ray) and MRI-guided breast biopsies.

Pre-Surgical Needle Localization Pre-surgical needle localization, prior to breast surgery, guides the surgeon to the precise area of abnormal tissue identified on a mammogram or ultrasound. This also ensures that the minimal amount of breast tissue is removed.

Nurse Navigator Program The oncology nurse navigator is available to provide patients diagnosed with breast cancer guidance, support and resources to assist them through diagnosis, treatment and survivorship when desired.

Certified by the FDA to perform mammography and accredited by the American College of Radiology, Fauquier Hospital has met rigorous standards for breast imaging quality and safety.

HIKERS’

OKTOBERFEST

By Andreas A. Keller

Cooper Wright hiking in the Shenandoah National Park

S

ome of our best hiking occurs in the fall. With clear skies, bright sun, temperatures comfortable for hiking and the spectacular array of fall color, it’s a great time of the year to hit the many trails found in our own backyard. The Shenandoah National Park and the George Washington National Forest alone offer hundreds of miles of well maintained trails, many of which lead to spectacular vistas over both valleys and mountain ranges with expansive views far into the horizons.

With October’s perfect hiking weather who can resist putting on a pair of boots and setting out to breathe in the crisp mountain air, take in the rich color and smell of the fall leaves. The fullness of fall only adds to the joy and energy of walking with fellow hikers as we move briskly along until we find an outcropping of rocks where we can absorb the farreaching vistas that easily fill you with the “Awesome Expansiveness of It All”.

Winding our way back to the trailhead and feeling a healthy tiredness, we invariably pick up our steps as we sense our reward for energy well spent - a refreshing beer and the camaraderie of good company!

Enjoying a hike and going belly up for a beer is the simple concept of two halves completing each other, and this duality forming a whole is good for the soul.

No other hiking club understands this better than Boots ’n Beer, a drinking club with a hiking problem!

BEAUTIFUL OCTOBER HIKES AND REHYDRATION SPOTS The Skyline Drive is a scenic 109 mile road that runs the entire length of the Shenandoah National Park and is particularly popular in fall when the leaves are changing color. Numerous trails can be accessed along the drive including a portion of the Appalachian Trail.

Two of the many mountaintops along Skyland Drive which open up the vastness of our world as far as the eye can see are Mary’s Rock and Hawksbill Mountain.

Mary’s Rock offers an unobstructed 360 degree vista considered to be one of the most beautiful in Northern Virginia. The trailhead for this 4 mile hike is at the Panorama parking place off Skyline Drive.

At 4,051 feet Hawksbill is the highest peak in the Park and can be reached in an easy hike of about 2 miles from Hawksbill Gap parking on Skyline Drive at

Below: Alex Bueno, Andreas Keller, John Downey, Robert Tarasovich and Janice Pardun at the Woodstock Brew House.

“

WATCHING A SUNRISE OR SUNSET SITTING ON THE OUTER EDGE OF MCAFEE KNOB IS AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE mile 45.5. A longer hike of over 9 miles and about 2,000 feet elevation gain can be found on the website Hiking Upward.

We often end our hikes at the rehydration spot of Griffin Tavern in Flint Hill which carries a wide selection of craft beers on tap and can be easily accessed from either the Front Royal or the Sperryville entrance to the Park.

Three beautiful hikes with particularly breathtaking, panoramic views of nearby valleys and mountains are Big Schloss, Tibbet Knob and Buzzard Rock North in the George Washington National Forest. Big Schloss is a 4.4 mile hike and Tibbet Knob is about 3 miles. The trailheads for both hikes are at Wolf Gap Recreation Area. Both those hikes involve some scrambling at the very top and caution is recommended driving up the mountain to the trailheads as the road is narrow, windy and not very well marked, but the views make it well worth it.

After the Big Schloss and Tibbet Knob hikes, which are accessed from the Woodstock area of the Shenandoah Valley, we invariably end up in the

Woodstock Brewhouse which receives highest praise from our Boots ’n Beer hikers for its great beers and food. Buzzard Rock North is a short and easy hike with spectacular vistas from the ridge top. http://www.hikingupward. com/GWNF/BuzzardRockNorth/ The perfect libation after this hike can be found in Front Royal at the PaveMint Tap House and Grill.

Thirsty hikers can choose from over 30 craft beers on tap and the food menu, sourced from local farms, resembles more a five star restaurant than a beer joint frequented by Appalachian Trail hikers. It definitely has the Boots ’n Beer stamp of approval.

There are two more October hikes for the more adventurous hikers. Both offer jaw dropping vistas of nature’s beauty.

Old Rag is one of the more popular yet challenging hikes in the Shenandoah National Park with a 9 mile loop and lots of strenuous bouldering and scrambling

at the top. If you need to motivate teens to get out into nature and have fun, Old Rag will not disappoint. After tackling Old Rag a convenient rehydration spot is the Headmaster’s Pub in Sperryville.

Outside of our neighborhood in Jefferson National Forest is an October hike that should not be missed — the McAfee Knob in the southern part of Virginia. It is one of the most photographed rocks on the Appalachian Trail! A moderate hike of 4 miles lets you step out onto the outcroppings and all you can hear is “Wow”. The panoramic views of the Catawba Valley, North Mountain, Tinker Cliffs and the Roanoke Valley are only trumped by the overhanging, awe inspiring, iconic McAfee Knob. Watching a sunrise or sunset sitting on the outer edge of McAfee Knob is an unforgettable experience but certainly not recommended for people with vertigo.

Join Boots ‘n Beer for our own version of Oktoberfest as we enjoy October’s bright blue weather, hiking in the mountains and celebrating the day with the numerous craft beers found in the excellent local taverns that we’ve sampled especially for you! Find all our recommendations on our website bootsnbeer.com and click on Going Belly-up. ❖

TABLE

Do You Have A Bountiful Harvest?

Create a delicious, nutritious gazpacho from fresh garden ingredients

By Chef Woody Isaac

he term“Farm to Table” is now very important in the food industry. People are aware of the health and economic benefits of eating local as opposed to the mass produced factory food of modern America. Tomatoes you buy at the grocery store typically come from California, Mexico, or Peru especially in the off seasons. These tomatoes are produced and shipped from so far away; they are picked when they are green and coated in a food grade “wax” to keep them from rotting. The fruit is then left to “ripen” in warehouses. The result is a tomato that is kind of crunchy, flavorless, and not juicy.

Did you know the nutritional value of fresh fruits and vegetables deteriorates rather quickly? When you eat a tomato or spinach salad produced in Mexico that was preserved using chemicals or wax, your actual nutritional value can be decreased by 50% or more. A tomato you picked yourself or buy from a local farm has all the natural taste and nutritional value that nature intended it to have. Local fruits and vegetables taste better, are better for the local economy, and contain more essential vitamins and nutrients your body craves.

Buying local is at times more expensive, so many individuals have opted to plant their own gardens.

After the initial investment, growers of their own food will be paid back tenfold by saving money on fruits and veggies.

Although fall is upon us, it is never too early to plan the next garden or take advantage of what your garden yields until a frost comes.

Here is a recipe that utilizes the fresh ingredients to offer you, your family and guests a nice refreshing treat. This gazpacho recipe includes ingredients you can find in your garden or purchase from a local farmer.

Gazpacho Recipe This is a beautiful fresh and zesty cold soup you can enjoy anytime.

Ingredients 6 pounds of heirloom tomatoes; cut into small chunks 2 cucumbers; peeled and cut into chunks 1 small red or white onion; cut into small chunks 1 sweet bell pepper; seeded 1 ounce parsley leaves 1 ounce fresh basil leaves 1 ounce cilantro leaves 3 cloves of garlic 2 ounces of lemon juice 1 ounce of red wine or apple cider vinegar 1 jalapeño pepper with seeds; cut into chunks 4 ounces of olive oil Salt and pepper to taste Cooking Instructions Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until completely incorporated. Serve chilled in a bowl and garnish with fresh herbs and olive oil. Note, when using freshly picked ingredients that haven’t been refrigerated yet, it is best to make the soup right away and chill for at least an hour prior to serving. ❖

Based in a Gainesville industrial park, Tin Cannon features a cozy tasting room. Plans are underway to add a new brewery and canning line this coming winter. Meanwhile, the cozy atmosphere and “Cheers” style ambiance has gained a loyal customer base in addition to people visiting for the first time.

The brewery features 10-13 beers at any given time, rotating various beers onto and off the menu every two weeks.

Some beers, however, have proven to be popular enough to keep on, like the light, refreshing Virginia Blonde American Ale and the Twin Cannons Double IPA with its sweeter, malty overtones of Apricot and Peach (and 9% alcohol content).

Heart of Lion Amber Ale, with its caramel overtones, was brewed to honor the Prince William Police officers who were killed and wounded earlier this year.

Ludwig says his mother always wants him to bring some of the Cavalier Joe TIN CANNON BREWING Bourbon Porter, noted for its vanilla and bourbon overtones, when he and his 7679 Limestone Drive, #130 family pay her a visit.
