Fauquier Health Dr. Esther Bahk: Taking Responsibility for Your Health From the moment we begin kindergarten, we are told that education is important – knowledge is power. And healthcare is no exception.

Dr. Esther Bahk, internist with Fauquier Health Internal Medicine at Lake Manassas, believes that she is not only a physician, but also a public health advocate. She has organized a number of community health fairs over the years because she believes it’s important to spread the word about good health. “Health fairs – like the one held at the Fauquier County Fairgrounds recently -- allow me to reach out to many people in the community who otherwise may not seek medical attention. They also allow me an opportunity to personally counsel people in a more casual way. These venues can be less intimidating because they are informal.”

Dr. Bahk, through her practice and through community outreach, hopes she can help people take a more proactive approach toward their health. “With medicine constantly evolving, it is important that people stay informed and educated. I like to see people take responsibility for their own health.

“Here at Internal Medicine at Lake Manassas, we value the whole person -- mind, body and spirit. The focus is placed on implementing healthcare that promotes comprehensive well-being,” says Dr. Bahk. As a primary care physician, Dr. Bahk has had an opportunity to develop relationships with people from all different backgrounds and ages and has been able to treat a wide variety of maladies. This experience has been vital in her role as a public health advocate. “It allows me an opportunity to reach a wide array of patients, in order to teach disease prevention and health education.”

“In this current economy, everyone’s feeling stressed, and I’m certainly seeing a lot of patients who need help coping with the side effects of that stress,” says Dr. Bahk. “Studies show that psychological stress can worsen the symptoms of cardiovascular diseases, asthma, acne, depression, as well as worsen the progression of high blood pressure. Stress also affects the immune system. Long-term stress has the effect of ‘wearing down’ the immune system, leading to an increased susceptibility to infections. By learning to manage your stress levels you can help to improve your overall health.”

Everyone has their own method for coping with stress. Some find a Sunday afternoon at the park with family to be helpful, while others enjoy a quiet day at home curled up with a book. Dr. Bahk offers five stress-busting tips to consider: 1. Eat a balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables.

2. Get enough sleep/rest.

3. Exercise regularly.

4. Practice deep breathing exercises and reserve time to just relax.

5. Keep a positive attitude. Laugh! It’s good for you.

Dr. Bahk’s goal is help patients by encouraging healthy lifestyles. “Preventive medicine leads to good health and happiness. That’s my goal for everyone: be happy and healthy!”

Dr. Bahk will speak on “Medical Intervention for Weight Loss” on February 9 at 7 p.m. in Fauquier Hospital’s Sycamore Room.

The presentation will focus on four different options for weight loss management: behavioral therapy, dietary therapy, pharmacotherapy and surgery. Dr. Bahk will discuss the positive and negative aspects of each option. She will also explain how you can set a weight loss goal that’s realistic and attainable.

History

A Soldier and a Gentleman:

Haymarket’s Col. Edmund Berkeley Local group working to preserve his home, historic Evergreen Manor by: John Toler

Drawing of Lt. Col. Edmund Berkeley during the Civil War. As Prince William County and the rest of Virginia begin to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War, the people of Haymarket have a special reason to be proud.

Their son, Lewis Berkeley (1777-1836), later inherited the property, which he divided into several tracts, including 1,064 acres of open land in Prince William County known as “Ever Green.”

One of its native sons, Col. Edmund Berkeley of Evergreen Plantation fought valiantly for the Lost Cause, and when the war was over, committed himself to healing the breach that had caused so much suffering and death on both sides.

Before building Evergreen Manor, Lewis and his wife, Frances Callender Noland Berkeley (1797-1855) lived in Aldie, where their first son was born on Feb. 29, 1824. According to family tradition, he was named Edmund.

The Berkeley family had deep roots in the Commonwealth of Virginia, stretching back five generations to Middlesex County.

On his farewell visit to America in late August 1825, the Marquis deLafayette stopped by the Berkeley home in Aldie as he made his way north on the Old Carolina Road to Oak Hill, James Monroe’s home in Loudoun County. While there, he held young Edmund on his lap. Later owned by Thomas DeLashmutt, the “Berkeley House” in Aldie still stands.

The property that later became Evergreen plantation was once part of Carter Burwell’s 2,000-acre portion of Robert “King” Carter’s huge Bull Run Tract. The property passed to Burwell’s daughter Mary, who married Edmund Berkeley IV (1730-1802) of “Barn Elms” in Middlesex County.

Photographed in the 1930s before the building renovated and the stone wings added, Evergreen Manor House had changed little from when it was the home of Col. Berkeley.

Evergreen Manor House In about 1827, Lewis Berkeley completed the Evergreen Manor House on a small knoll at the base of the Bull Run Mountains. Built in the Greek Revival style, the original house was a five-bay, two-and-a-half story structure, with a gable roof and interior-end chimneys.

Edmund graduated from the College of William and Mary, and married Mary Lawson Williams of Tennessee, whom he had met at the college.

The couple first lived at Aldie, and moved to Evergreen when Edmund inherited the property in 1845.

“Mary’s father was a wealthy landowner, and at her marriage, gave her a choice of either slaves or real estate, and she chose the former,” according to the Manor House Preservation Fund (MHPF), which continues the work to save the historic home and honor the Berkeley family legacy.

“The slaves made the trip here with the bride and groom, the women and children in wagons, the men walking.” After reaching Evergreen Plantation, the slaves lived in cabins along the road now known as “Quarter’s Lane.”

Like the first generation to live at Evergreen, Edmund and Mary Berkeley would raise a large family.

During the years before the outbreak of Civil War, Evergreen plantation was a successful farming operation, as well as having a mill that produced wagon wheel spokes, which were shipped to New York and New Orleans.

It was the first mill in Prince William County run by steam.

“The mill was operated by white labor, with twelve houses for these families located close to the mill, giving the appearance of a small village,” according to the MHPF. Shortly before the war, disaster struck. In 1861, the mill and several thousand spokes ready for shipment were destroyed

February 2011

in a fire. “As the workers were from the North, and had no ties to the area, they went back (North) after the mill was destroyed, as the times were too uncertain to rebuild them.”

An account in a Richmond newspaper reported that the fire claimed a gristmill and a sawmill on the property in addition to the spoke mill, for a combined loss of $15,000.

The Evergreen Guards Like many communities in Virginia, the possibility of Civil War convinced local leaders of the necessity of establishing militia companies, which were recognized by the Commonwealth. Prince William County raised four infantry and two cavalry companies.

In most cases, a gentleman of means would organize and equip a militia company, and then receive recognition and a commission as a captain of the unit from the governor.

Edmund received his commission as a captain from Gov. John Letcher, and the Evergreen Guards became Company C of the 8th Virginia Volunteer Infantry, under the command of Gen. Eppa Hunton. The Evergreen Guards was the only company in the 8th Virginia from Prince William County, and the first to muster the 100 men necessary to establish a company. In fact, ten men who worked on the farm immediately joined the Evergreen Guards, including Pennsylvania natives Andrew and Uriah Fletcher, both of whom would die in the war.

Three of Edmund’s brothers also served in the 8th Virginia Infantry: William N. Berkeley (1826-1907) served as a major in Company D, known as the “Champe Rifles”; Norborne Berkeley (1828-1911) as a

colonel in the regiment; and Charles F. Berkeley (1833-1871) as captain of Company D. Gen. Eppa Hunton was well aware of the Berkeley brothers under his command. Making camp on the south side of Goose Creek after the First Battle of Manassas (July 21, 1861), he recalled that the Berkelelys were “… four of the bravest, noblest, most patriotic and unselfish men I met in the war. They were always ready for any duty they were called upon, and always did it with alacrity, courage and efficiency. I have always been thankful that the four brothers survived the war.”

After First Manassas, the Evergreen Guards went on to fight in many significant battles, including Seven Pines (May 31-June 1, 1862), after which Edmund Berkeley was promoted to the rank of major.

turntable withstood repeated attempts at destruction until practical farmer Berkeley used cordwood to build a fire on it; then as it cooled it warped and cracked.”

Two days later, the four brothers-in-arms would be part of Pickett’s Charge on Gen. George G. Meade’s fortifications, where only 27 of the 205 men in Gen. Hunton’s regiment would survive unscathed. Edmund was wounded near the stone wall during the charge, but escaped.

William and Norborne were both wounded and captured; Charles was not wounded, but captured in the fray. The Berkeley brothers were later exchanged, but Charles and William were captured again, during the fighting at Sayler’s Creek during the final days of the war.

Col. Berkeley’s son Edmund Jr. (1847-1906) was attending the Virginia Military Institute during the war, and was one of the cadets wounded at the Battle of New Market, May 15, 1864, where 53 out of 225 of the young soldiers were killed or wounded. After recovering from his wounds, he later joined Capt. John S. Mosby’s Rangers.

While the Evergreen Guards were fighting far from home, on November 4, 1862, their home base at Haymarket was sacked and burned by Union troops. Mary Berkeley stepped forward, housing Haymarket refugee families in the former mill workers’ homes on the plantation. They would stay busy sewing Confederate uniforms.

The Peacemaker

The Evergreen Guards were in the thick of the action during the Battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863). As written in The Eighth Virginia Infantry, Second Edition, written by John Devine:

After the surrender, Col. Edmund Berkeley returned to Evergreen Plantation, and along with his Haymarket neighbors, struggled Col. Edmund Berkeley after the Civil to resume his farming operation. He was one War, wearing the Southern Cross. of the founding members of the Haymarket Courtesy of Edmund Berkeley Jr. Agriculture Club, along with fellow Civil War “On July 1, as the great battle began at veterans Dr. Henry M.

Berkeley was the highest-ranking former Confederate Cumberland Valley Railroad. officer to return to Prince William County, and he was often called upon “Using heavy iron rails as battering rams, holes were punched through to speak about the war.

He wrote poems shouted each time a rail would pierce that wall.

In 1906, while Col. Berkeley was serving as the vice president of the Bull Run Battle Park Association, monuments to New York regiments who lost soldiers in the two battles were erected on the battlefield.

In 1911, he worked with a committee composed of members of the Confederate Veterans and the Grand Army of the Republic supporting House Bill 1330, which appropriated $50,000 “…to be used in the discretion of the Secretary of War, who is directed to purchase so much of the land surrounding such monuments …as shall be sufficient for the protection of same, and to enable the citizens of the United States to

Later that year – 50 years to the day after the First Battle of Manassas – Col. Berkeley delivered the opening poem at the Manassas National Jubilee of Peace. Confederate and Union veterans, by then in their seventies and eighties, formed lines at the battle site and shook hands, the event concluded with an address by U. S. President William Howard Taft.

In September 1915, Col. Berkeley (CSA) and Lt. George Carr Round (USA) unveiled a Civil War monument on the grounds of the Prince William County Courthouse. It was Col. Berkeley’s last public event. He died on December 1, 1915, at his beloved Evergreen Manor.

Col. Berkeley was buried at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Cemetery in Haymarket. Among Confederate veterans at his funeral were former comrades Westwood Hutchison, A.H. Compton, George H. Smith, John Hall, James F. Gulick, Jonathan White, James Pickett, J.P. Smith, Robert Cushing and James E. Herrell. Edwin Carter and Alexander F. Rose, both of Warrenton, also attended.

In a final expression of unity and reconciliation, Lt.. Round served as one of his pallbearers.

Evergreen in the 20th century Evergreen Manor remained in the Berkeley family for several years until the property was purchased in 1938 by Thomas DeLashmutt, head of the DeLashmutt Brothers Construction Co. of Arlington, Va. By then, Evergreen Manor had been subdivided into a 525-acre parcel including the manor house, and several smaller parcels totaling about 200 acres.

DeLashmutt remodeled the original house about 1940, replacing the metal roof, adding dormers, and building stone wings to both sides of the original structure.

The property passed through two more owners by 1968, at which time it was purchased by the Evergreen Farm Development Corporation of Manassas. The new owners divided the property again, keeping 250 acres and the manor house, around which they built a golf course. The rest of the land sold as residential lots.

In recent years, there was a proposal to use the manor house as a clubhouse or bed and breakfast, but this has not happened, and the building stands vacant, its fate undecided. Indeed, in June 2005, the property was listed as one of the “Top Eleven Most Endangered Historic Places” by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

In response, the non-profit Manor House Preservation Fund worked out a cooperative arrangement with the owners to raise money and hire contractors to preserve the exterior of the old house. The agreement was signed on October 25, 2005. Shortly afterward, Architectural Historian Edward Tolson, of Warrenton, was commissioned to complete the survey and application to have Evergreen Manor listed on the National Register of Historic Places administered by the U. S. Park Service.

Their efforts were rewarded on March 27, 2008, when Evergreen Manor was placed on the National Register. In addition, the house as been identified by Prince William County as a Designated Cultural Resource.

Vacant and unused, the c. 1827 Evergreen Manor House is still the focal point of the Evergreen Country Club that surrounds it. Future plans include opening a wing of the house for receptions and other activities.

A descendant comes home to Evergreen Mary Louise Berkeley Stoy of Dominion Valley is the great-greatgranddaughter of Col. Edmund Berkeley; and great-granddaughter of Edmund Jr., the VMI cadet. Her grandfather, the Rev. Mr. Alfred Rives Berkeley (1880-1945), and her father, the Rev. Mr. Edmund Berkeley (1910-1995), were Episcopal ministers.

Mary was born in Roanoke Rapid, N.C., where her father was the minister of the Episcopal Church. The family later moved to Virginia, where Mary graduated from college and taught school before becoming a librarian. She married Robert “Bob” Stoy, and in 1964 the couple moved to Northern Virginia area, where Bob was an administrator in the City of Alexandria school system. Their children, Edmund Berkeley Stoy and Elizabeth Berkeley Stoy (Curtis), grew up in the area, and like their parents, chose careers in education.

Bob and Mary Stoy were living in Fairfax Station when they retired in 1998. With some time on her hands, Mary became interested in her family history. “I always knew about my family’s connection with Evergreen and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Haymarket,” she said. She fondly recalls a visit with her parents in 1970 to St. Paul’s – where many of her ancestors are buried – and the Berkeley House in Aldie and the Evergreen Manor At her home in Dominion Valley, Mary Stoy continues her genealogical research. Family heirlooms include this silver teapot once House.

While working on a family scrapbook in 2004, Mary met a lady from the during the Civil War in order to prevent it from being stolen. Other Evergreen community who put her in touch with Dave Prokop, who was eager to meet a descendant of Col. Berkeley – and share what he had family items include one of the finger bowls used by Gen. Lafayette during his visit to the Berkeley House in Aldie in 1825. learned about Evergreen.

The Stoys moved to Haymarket in 2006, where they are close to their children and their families, and Bob enjoys playing golf at the several courses nearby. Mary continues her fascinating genealogical research at the Bull Run Regional Library and the Alderman Library at the University of Virginia, where the Berkeley family bible and other family papers can be found.

She and her husband appreciate and support the Evergreen Manor Preservation Committee in their efforts to save and re-use the old homeplace.

The Evergreen Manor Preservation Committee The organization responsible for carrying out the mission of the Manor House Preservation Fund is the Evergreen Manor Preservation Committee. It is separate from the Evergreen Country Club, and is comprised of people from the neighborhood and members of the country club who volunteer their time and talents to find ways to preserve the historic home.

Short-term goals include: • Weatherproofing and improving the physical appearance of the exterior of the building. These improvements would benefit the club as well as preserving the structure.

• Promoting the historical significance of the building through the Web site, publications, etc.

• Raising money for the restoration of the manor house.

The long-term goal is to generate interest in the historic structure so that the club or other investors would be willing to restore the manor house for productive re-use, including a bed and breakfast, conference center, etc.

As in the case of most preservation efforts, raising the money for repairs and restoration is the biggest challenge. On the evening of April 30, 2010, the committee staged the “Berkeley Ball” on the manor house grounds, featuring dinner, dancing and a live auction. Members of the 8th Virginia Infantry Civil War re-enactors group gave a gun salute.

Also during the summer of 2010, the committee hosted the five-part “LIVE at Evergreen” concert series on the manor house grounds. The events were free and open to the public, generating income through donations, raffles and food and drink sales. Equally important was the successful community outreach, which brought many people to the Evergreen Manor House for the first time. The committee plans to hold “LIVE at Evergreen concerts” again in 2011.

These efforts have brought in about $140,000 to be used for restoration of the historic structure. The MHPF currently intends to open the west wing of the manor house in the spring of 2011 for member use, weddings and other functions.

Rooms are to be open in the Stone Room and the library.

The officers and committee members of the MHPF are Dave Prokop, who serves as chairman and Webmaster; Lance Boyd, secretary and Sponsorship chair; John Atkinson, treasurer; Tina Boyd, Fundraising chair; and Bill Harvey, Lou Nappi and Gaston de Bearn.

find your inner scribe and pen Scribe, a profession that was outsourced to the printing press in the 1400s, has left us with some beautiful manuscripts we now preserve under glass. These writers, copiers, and teachers celebrate craftsmanship and talent. Today, actually using a pen for say, a thank you note, has been relegated to an email, text message, or worse, nothing at all.

After you are finished doing the happy dance for landing the deal or making the sale, remember who you really have to thank. Create a gracious impression by going 1970s retro. Use a pen, notepaper, envelope, and a stamp.

Today, the value of time seems more important than ever. The fact that you chose to make time to send a personal greeting leaves a positive, lasting impact. It goes a very long way to making a new friend and business associate. And, they won’t hit the delete button. You can even be stylish and eco-aware by using cotton-based (tree-free) letterpress stationery.

This un-tech touch point works alongside your website, social media, collateral, and networking by further defining your company.

Avoid the temptation to throw in an additional sales message. Be genuine and simply thank your new client for placing trust in you, or a repeat customer for their allegiance.

The HGBA is the fastest growing professional association in the area; we want to hear your story. From the new meeting venues each month to expert speakers, with HGBA you will get noticed and keep you informed. Join us, and we’ll help you go places.

The Village Inside Haymarket Settled in the heart of Haymarket lies another small village that isn’t defined geographically but by the dedication and generosity of businesses and organizations. PACE’s Village helps provide for PACE WEST, a special education public day program that supports students at the elementary, middle and high school level. These students require a small, highly structured academic program with significant interventions or emotional and/or behavioral issues. PACE WEST provides its students with a safe, nurturing, and therapeutic learning environment, which addresses the individual needs of each student. This environment created by PACE will help students develop a love of learning and a sense of self-worth as they prepare to live and function appropriately in an ever changing multi-cultural society.

PACE’s Village is comprised of businesses and organizations within the Haymarket community that formed a partnership to continue to fulfill the ongoing needs at PACE WEST. “More people from the community were becoming interested in getting involved,” Kecia Wolf, a Special Education Teacher at PACE said. “We didn’t want duplication of services or materials so we got organized.”

Meeting monthly, Village Members gather to discuss the needs of the school as well as which organization is willing to take on the responsibility of satisfying that need. With a community of over 30, PACE’s Village has worked collectively in making decisions that have already provided immense benefit for the school. Local businesses like BB&T helped lead the makeover of the library giving it a complete overhaul with new paint, furniture, books, and games.

PACE WEST - Positive Attitude amd Commitment to Education

The Haymarket Women’s Club hosts and creates “Family Event Night,” 5 or 6 times a year. This event gives parents of the school an opportunity to give their children a night of fun that includes dinner and an activity like Wii Fitness Night, Craft Night, Bingo/ Chili Cook Off, and a Talent Show.

The Proud Pantry is cabinet-filled with desired items like Lava Lamps, note pads, games, hair accessories, etc. that students can purchase with points that they earn for favorable behavior and grades. Each Friday while at lunch students can browse the Proud Pantry to view new items or turn their points in and purchase.

The Haymarket Women’s Club, Gainesville/Haymarket Rotary Club, and Regency Dominion Women’s Club all help to keep the pantry appealing and full as well as running it every Friday.

“We felt like the Proud Pantry was a way that we could get people in the community come into the school and get involved” Wolf explained.

“This allows our children to practice their social and life skills with other people within our community.”

The Town of Haymarket has partnered with the school in helping donate winter coats for the students. PACE was proud to report that this year all of their students are equipped with adequate coats and had some left over to share within the Haymarket community.

“So many organizations have come forward to help,” said Amelia Stansell of BB&T Heathcote. “The Haymarket and Gainesville area is such a giving group.“ With all of the active volunteers in PACE’s Village (easily over 100), the school discovered it was rewarding to have community members visit with the students. The school wants to establish programs to bring community members into the school to increase interaction with students among adults. They would like a “Mentor Program” for professionals in the community to come in and have lunch while explaining their profession while building relationships with the students. “Lunch Room Buddies” is a program available for adults to become role models for the students by interacting with them over lunch allowing the children to practice their social skills. A “Career Day” that would give the students an idea of different businesses and jobs that are available as well as job coaching.

The coordination and dedication of the members of PACE’s Village has been essential in providing PACE WEST the materials necessary to educate their students in a stimulating and challenging environment.

Their efforts are still focused in their search for other community organizations to become involved in helping PACE WEST. If you are interested in becoming a part of PACE’s Village and making a difference in the Haymarket community, please contact Kecia Wolf at wolfka@ pwcs.edu.

A Few Good Reasons to

Think Locally First

Reason #3

Personal Service: Haymarket abounds with many small, family-run businesses. Larger businesses are operated by folks from your own neighborhoods. In town, you’ll run into people that you know outside of work. Enjoy the personal touch of our area merchants because they employ your neighbors, your family and your friends.

THE PIEDMONT DINNER CLUB Positioned conveniently next to Interstate 66, Haymarket provides commuters and residents an effortless route to northern Virginia’s endless food and restaurant options. While the pull to northern Virginia is strong in the area, the town offers a unique event to its residents. Set near the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the surrounding areas are pastures with livestock and fields with produce – all locally grown. Haymarket’s perfect position can provide its residents with local food options and events that support the community as a whole.

The Piedmont Dinner Club created by Karen Baker the Owner of A La Carte Catering has brought together in one event the finer and simpler things Haymarket has to offer. A monthly dinner hosted in the beautifully rustic Pavilion at The Farm at Broad Run, this event highlights the creative culinary opportunities of local and regional food.

“The concept was to focus on the food and have the wine as a compliment, we wanted our guests to have a nice meal,” Baker said on the origination of the club.

Dinner clubs have been the recent trend, surfacing all over the place as food and wine connoisseurs gather for this new dining experience. What initially began as an underground movement, dinner clubs create an unforgettable dining experience with a list of posh guests that all share the same sense of culinary adventure.

A La Carte Event Designer Bethany Thomas together with Baker recreates an old fashion experience with family-style seating. Each swanky dinner boasts a theme with seasonal menu, local wine, and guest speakers. Baker and A La Carte Chef Bill Erlenbach design the menu monthly, with local seasonal foods as the focus. Baker works closely with local food growers like Bill and Michelle DeWitt at the Farm at Broad Run to ensure only the freshest ingredients.

White table-clothed tables delicately set wait under the pavilion surrounded by subtle candles. Delectable hors d’oeuvres like Grilled 20

Haymarket Lifestyle

Trout with cilantro potato, Steamed Parsley Buns with bbq chicken and corn, and Roasted Root Vegetable Spring Rolls begin the event accompanied by wines from Barrel Oak Winery in Delaplane and The Winery at La Grange in Haymarket. Those in attendance become acquainted easily through introductions and commonality of interests.

The Emporium Thorpe Landscape, Inc. 703-926-6320 snowplow4u.com lawnmowing4u.com

Mention: BIZ10 for 10% off Guests are soon seated and First Course is served like a Curried Pumpkin Custard with parsley pesto, roasted pumpkin oil and pepita crisps. Shortly following is the Second Course, Pan Seared Scallops on beet latkes with a basil froth. Before the Entrée is a delightful sorbet. Cold Smoked and Grilled Beef with an apple and rosemary wheatberry pilaf is placed before the guests. Each course and entrée are paired with a specific wine. The chef and the wine maker each get a chance to speak providing an explanation for their choice in dish, preparation and delivery.

A dessert like Chocolate Hazelnut Bars with a malted caramel milkshake end the dinner sweetly.

“This event is always new and evolving because there is no limit on creativity,” Thomas said, and adding that the aspiration of the dinner club is to keep the menu intriguing and each experience special.

Come and indulge in an evening with tantalizing smells, exquisite tastes and a stylish yet friendly setting. More information on The Piedmont Dinner Club as well as A La Carte Catering can be found by visiting www.alacartecaters.com.

55’s Restaurant

55’S RESTAURANT IS FULL OF A restaurant with an unmistakable spirit for food, family and friends, 55’s has been dishing out home-style meals to the community since August of 2009. With an emphasis on kindness and customer service, Jeff and Jody Heflin created a leisurely spot to catch up with a friend, watch a game, or enjoy a meal as a family.

“We saw a need for a place in the community where people could come in feel warm and comfortable and we could offer them something that they want,” Jody said.

A cheerful space that’s open and tastefully decorated, that provides comfortable seating for up to 125 guests. Their sizeable full service bar boasts eight televisions and friendly bartenders. The jovial and knowledgeable staff creates an interactive and pleasant dining experience. Laughter and light-heartedness float gracefully from table to table.

“Memories are made around your kitchen table, I’m trying to recreate that feeling here,” said Jody.

Their flavorful menu items will dazzle the senses and will absolutely satisfy any guest. All items are fresh and made to order.

Offering starters like the Redskin Taters, four large tater skins smothered in cheese and bacon and served with sour cream or Killer Calamari served with 55’s own spicy ranch. Fourteen colossal sandwiches like the classic Bull Run Burger, an Angus burger, flame grilled to preference, placed on grilled bread with lettuce, tomato, onion and 55’s signature mayo or the Good Ole’ BLT. Jody’s Nutty Thai sandwich is less conventional but just as tasty featuring Jody’s homemade chicken salad with lettuce, tomato, Thai sauce, and Chinese noodles rolled in a wrap. The Pittsburg Favorite a hunger-killing sandwich with ham, provolone cheese, fries, mayo, tomato, coleslaw all on grilled bread.

Haymarket Lifestyle

FOOD, FAMILY, FRIENDS & FUN Proudly scrambling up the most important meal of the day – all day.

“People want breakfast, they want it for lunch and dinner, they look forward to it,” Jody explained in keeping breakfast on the menu all day.

Their breakfast menu is of a considerable size with items like The Rooster Wrap, scrambled eggs, American cheese, bacon and country potatoes or the Omelete Your Way with a variety of fillings to make it truly remarkable as well as 55’s Homemade Sausage Gravy Biscuits. A more traditional and family named meal is Katie’s Elle Mae Breakfast consisting of two eggs, 2 pieces of bacon or sausage, 55’s Homemade Country Potatoes with Toast or Flapjacks. Wanting more? Go for Nick’s Redneck Breakfast, similar to Katie’s Elle Mae but heartier portions.

Their dinner entrees begin with the Garlic Chicken, balsamic marinated and grilled chicken breast topped in homemade garlic herb relish, rotisserie roasted potatoes and the vegetable of the day. The New York Strip Steak, Fish and Chips or the Saturday special Prime Rib are all fine choices.

“We have an incredible amount of support from the community and I’ve been so happy to have met and built relationships within this community,” Jody smiled.

55’s is located at 15125 Washington Street and is open six days a week: Tuesday through Friday 11:30am to 9:00pm, Saturday 8:00am to 9:00pm and Sunday 8:00am to 4:00pm.
