History

Haymarket’s Trial by Fire

Burning of the town during the Civil War was not the end of the story

by John T. Toler

Most people familiar with the history of Haymarket know why there are so few pre-Civil War structures in our town: on the night of Nov. 3-4, 1862, Union soldiers burned nearly all of the homes and businesses, sparing only St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, which was being used by the federals, and three homes.

In addition, it is known that many of the troaops involved in the tragic event were Germans serving in the Union Army, many of whom could not speak English.

While all of this is true, there are many fascinating details about the burning of Haymarket that have come to light over the years, including the small number of Union troops involved, and the fact that an investigation and subsequent court martial of the officer responsible took place almost immediately after the incident.

While this new information does nothing to diminish the magnitude of the tragedy, it helps to put the event in perspective.

A transcription of the court martial of the main perpetrator of the burning of Haymarket, Lt. Kurd Baron Veltheim, a junior officer in the 68th New York Volunteer Infantry, can be found in the Haymarket files at the Ruth E. Lawson Information Center (RELIC) at the Bull Run Regional Library in Manassas. This faithful transcription was done for the Haymarket Museum by local historian Ellie Ivancic.

It was not an easy or routine court martial. The hearing commenced Nov. 7, 1862, after the officers were sworn in, including Capt. Max Cohnheim,

Contemporary drawing of how Haymarket might have appeared during the raid was published in Haymarket, A Town in Transition.

Aide-de-Camp of Gen. Franz Sigel, who served as Veltheim’s interpreter and counsel. The court martial hearing lasted until Nov. 10, 1862, when the final verdicts were read.

Background of the Tragedy Due to its strategic position along the Old Carolina and Gap roads and its proximity to Manassas, there was a great likelihood that Haymarket would suffer during the Civil War. That Haymarket had provided men to fight for the Confederacy, including the Old Dominion Rifles and Col. Edmund Berkeley’s Evergreen Guards, was proof of the town’s Southern sympathies.

The first taste of war in the town itself was in July 1861. Casualties from the First Battle of Manassas were brought to Haymarket, where at least 80 Confederates died of wounds and were buried on the south side of the cemetery at St. Paul’s Church.

After Union troops appeared in the area in early 1862, there was sporadic resistance, often when Confederates home visiting their families in Haymarket encountered Union troops. Such was the case in March 1862, when brothers James Pendleton “Pen” Jordan and John R. Jordan, a member of the Old Dominion Rifles, fired on a squadron of Union cavalry from the woods near town. No one was hit, but the federals retreated, believing a superior force had attacked them.

The war came to Haymarket again in August 1862, as Union and Confederate commanders began maneuvers that would ultimately lead to the Second Battle of Manassas. Gen. T.J. “Stonewall” Jackson marched his troops through Haymarket on Aug. 26, 1862, and the townspeople gave them food and water.

Later, the town was filled with Union troops under Gen. James Ricketts on their way to Thoroughfare Gap, where there was a pitched battle on Aug. 28 – a prelude to the big battle to come.

After Second Manassas, Haymarket citizens again took in and cared for the wounded, both Confederate and Union. Union dead were buried on the north side of the cemetery, Confederates on the south side.

After the battle, members of the 11th Alabama camped near Manassas who fell victims of an epidemic were sent to Haymarket to recover.

“They pitched their tents on a garden north of St. Paul’s Church, which were blown down by a high wind, forcing them to take refuge in the church,” wrote Sarah M. Turner in Haymarket, A Town in Transition. “The illness continued, and about fifty of the Alabamans died, all of whom were interred, sometimes three or four in a grave without coffins, on the south side of the church.”

The six weeks after Second Manassas were relatively quiet in Haymarket. However, on Oct. 16, 1862, a federal wagon train guarded by the 6th Iowa Cavalry that was passing through town was attacked by the 2nd North Carolina

November 2011

Cavalry. Several Union troops were killed or wounded, and all but two of the men captured, along with the wagons and their contents.

This action resulted in Haymarket being occupied by a large Union force under Maj. Gen. Franz Sigel, commanding officer of the 11 Corps, Army of the Potomac. Many of his men were German immigrants, some of whom were “bounty” recruits paid to serve in place of others who had been drafted, and very few spoke English. The 2nd Division, commanded

by Gen. Adolph von Steinwehr – himself a German immigrant – was assigned to control the sector that included Haymarket.

Among those directly responsible for the upcoming tragedy was Lt. Kurd Baron Veltheim, an older officer with experience serving in several different armies in Europe.

Considered a “by the book” officer, Lt. Veltheim had little compassion for the people of Haymarket.

Haymarket Burning The atmosphere in Haymarket was tense on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 1862. At about 11 p.m., it was reported that Pvt. Herbert Armbruster of Company A, 4th New York Volunteer Cavalry, had been fired upon while escorting two carriages through the middle of town.

Pvt. David Martin of Company K, 6th Ohio Volunteers, testified that late that night Capt. Oscar von Meusel, assistant adjutant to Gen. Steinwehr, ordered that a patrol sent to Haymarket to investigate the earlier shooting.

The order was received by Lt. Veltheim, who at the time was accompanied by an enlisted man, Pvt. Hugo Count Ingleham, of Company I, 4th New York Cavalry. They were soon joined by Pvt. Martin and Pvt. Lester Blood of the 6th Ohio Volunteers, and Pvt. Gerome Picket.

Lt. Veltheim told them straight out that he was going to “… burn the damned Secessionist town, and he wanted to know if he could depend on us to stick by him,” according to Pvt. Martin. All four agreed to participate.

At about 1 a.m. on Nov. 4, the soldiers began the methodical burning of 13 of the 17 buildings in Haymarket. Starting at Garrett Hulfish’s blacksmith shop on the east end of town, Veltheim’s men broke into groups of two or three, and moved from building to building.

After awakening the residents and ordering them out their homes, the Union troops piled furniture and clothing inside, and set them on fire. Soon the whole town was ablaze. Ten occupied private dwellings were destroyed, as well as Hobson’s tailor shop, the Hulfish’s shops (lot 71), and the Red House Tavern (lots 64 and 65).

Among the families displaced by the burning were the Hales (lot 66), the Rivieres (lot 58), the Sanders (lot 75), the Jordans (lot 76), Rev. A. G. Hawley (lot 78), the J. W. Mounts (lot 63), the Masons, the Newmans (lot 72), and the Shirleys (lot 91).

The only know death attributed to the incident was that of Nixon Newman, the young son of Williama Newman, who was sick when rousted from his bed and later died of exposure before his family found shelter.

Families were seen heading out of town with only the clothes on their backs and what few possessions could be saved. A couple of families sought refuge at Woodlawn, the Tyler home on the road to Thoroughfare, and others were taken in by Mary Berkeley at Evergreen.

A pall of smoke covered the area.

Court Martial is Called By dawn, the high command was aware of the incident, and on Nov. 6, Special Order No. 102 calling for the court martial hearing was personally signed by Gen. Sigel. The hearing commenced on Nov. 7, 1863, at the Union headquarters in Gainesville.

Early investigation placed the responsibility for the incident on Lt. Veltheim, who was charged with three offenses: “Charge 1st – Violation of the 54th Article of War, specifically, with his own hand wantonly and maliciously set fire to and burn sundry and divers houses and other buildings with the furniture thereof and without any lawful order or authority; “Charge 2nd – Cruelly endangering the lives of helpless women and children and defenseless citizens of the United States; specifically, that on or about the 4th day of November, 1862, enter the village of Haymarket, Prince William County, Va. In the dead of night and by his own order and with his own hands set fire to and burn sundry and divers occupied dwelling houses; “Charge 3rd – Conduct unbecoming an officer and a Gentleman; specifically, by his order set fire and burn the house of a certain Mrs. Newman after she had protested that the house was only occupied by helpless females and her sick child.”

Appointed to hear the case were Maj. Jeremiah Williams, 25th Ohio Volunteer Infantry; Capt. George G. Lyon, Aide-de-Camp; Capt.

Benjamin Morgan, 75th Ohio Volunteer Infantry; Capt. Otto Sebith, 41st New York Volunteer Infantry; 1st Lt. A. E. Peck, 55th Ohio Volunteer Infantry; 1st Lt. Andrew B. Searles, 45th New York Volunteer Infantry; and 1st Lt. William Cessna, 82nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Serving as Judge Advocate was Maj. H. Baldwin, 119th New York Volunteer Infantry.

Veltheim pleaded not guilty to all of the charges against him.

Witnesses Testify Among the first witnesses called to testify was Mrs. Williama Newman, whose testimony

revealed the human side of the tragedy. Under questioning by the prosecution, Mrs. Newman, who had been recently widowed, stated that when confronted by the soldiers, she begged that her home be spared. “I said, ‘My God, you are not going to burn my house down. I am a poor woman with a family of children, and have a little son at the point of death,’” she testified. “He said he could not help it, that he was ordered to do it.”

The soldier, who was armed with a sword, followed Mrs. Newman into her house and began setting it on fire. She barely made it outside with her children, where the watched their home burn. After less than two hours in the cold, son Nixon was dead.

In her testimony, Mrs. Newman’s daughter Mary pointed out Veltheim as one of the men who set fire to their house.

The court heard testimony from other Haymarket residents who lost their homes and property, including James Shirley, who claimed that the shots heard before the burning started were actually fired by Union troops – at some chickens along the street.

CAPT. GEORGE G. LYON was one of seven Union officers appointed to hear the court martial case against Lt. Kurd Veltheim.

Garrett Hulfish added that the soldiers engaged in the burning of his property spoke to each other in German, and were armed with sabers. Emily Mount, whose home at the corner of Jefferson and Washington streets was burned, confirmed the chicken shooting incident, day, and testified that she only had time to get dressed before her house was set on fire.

Oddly, during his cross-examinations of the witnesses, Veltheim asked each of them if they had heard an explosion during the burning, apparently in an attempt to prove that contraband weapons or ammunition were being stored in the houses. All testified that they had heard nothing of the sort.

Having established what happened, the critical question came down to who ordered the town burned, and how the order was executed.

Critical Testimony On Nov. 8, the court called Pvt. Ingleheim, who stated that Capt. Meusel ordered that a patrol go into Haymarket “…in order to seize all arms, and if any resistance be made, to drive out the inhabitants and take the severest steps.” Meusel told them if they met resistance, they were to “…burn down the Rebel-nest, and I am sure that they will stop firing upon our men,” according to Ingleheim.

Ingleheim recalled that Veltheim asked Meusel if Gen. Steinwehr had been informed of their mission. Meusel left briefly, and on his return, told the men that it was “allright,” and that he would accompany them. However, once his horse was saddled, Meusel told them he could not go “…because one officer had to stay with the General.”

GEN. FRANZ SIGEL, commanding general of the 11 Corps, Army of the Potomac.

Continuing, Ingleheim testified that the patrol rode into town, and started at the Hulfish house, from where they believed the shots had allegedly been fired earlier in the day. As he entered, Ingleheim was confronted by a man with a musket.

The man was probably “Pen” Jordan, who had been wounded in an earlier incident and was recuperating at home. When he wouldn’t drop his weapon, Ingleheim struck him on the head with his saber, and as the man left the building, he passed by Veltheim, but did not stop. Veltheim and Ingleheim then proceeded to set the house on fire.

During Veltheim’s cross-examination, Ingleheim he stated that “Either a big Shrapnel or infernal machine” exploded in the burning house, prompting Veltheim to order Ingleheim and the other orderlies “…to burn the surrounding buildings, because there was to be expected that there would be some arms and ammunition hidden.”

The burning of Haymarket had started.

Meusel Testifies During the afternoon of Nov. 9, 1862, the court called Capt. Meusel as a witness for the defense. Meusel began by describing the earlier alleged

GEN. ADOLPH VON STEINWEHR authorized the patrol that entered Haymarket after an orderly was fired on.

She has preserved and improved the home over the years. attack on the orderly in Haymarket, which he discussed openly with Veltheim.

“I expressed my opinion what should be done with people who shot an orderly from behind an ambush or a house without reason … I put this man in the ranks of robbers,” said Meusel.

“And I said words to the effect, ‘We should do all we can to destroy these fellows.’”

A testy exchange between Veltheim and Meusel followed, during which Meusel admitted that he “…became very much excited,” and had told Veltheim that “These fellows deserve a harder punishment than to have their houses burned over their heads.”

Meusel returned with permission from Gen. Steinwehr to send a patrol into town, to “... find under all circumstances who shot at the orderly, and make them prisoners.”

“Did you say nothing else about setting fire to the houses in Haymarket?,” asked Veltheim.

“Not after I received the order to send the patrol,” said Meusel.

“Did you say we will now go and burn the damned Rebel-nest?,” asked Veltheim, repeating Ingleheim’s early testimony.

“It may have been words to that effect, before I received the permission to send out the patrol,” answered Meusel. “I was very excited the first moments when the orderly came with the message he was shot at twice.”

Later questioned by the court, Meusel maintained his position that despite his strong “opinions” expressed about the alleged attack on the orderly, he did not order the burning of the town.

“When you sent Lt. Veltheim out, did you expect him to carry out your private opinion previously expressed in regard to the punishment of Haymarket?,” asked the prosecutor.

10

“I refuse to answer this question, as my private opinion has nothing to do with the transactions of military business,” Meusel replied. In effect, Meusel denied ordering the burning of Haymarket, and in doing so, effectively cleared Gen. Steinwehr of any responsibility as well. All responsibility for the incident was placed on Veltheim.

The Verdict At 9 a.m. on Nov. 10, 1862, the court reconvened and “…found the Prisoner Lt. Kurd Veltheim, 68th N.Y.V.I. guilty” of all three charges. His punishment was dismissal from the service of the United States. The verdict was approved and confirmed by Gen. von Steinwehr.

In a later court martial, Pvt. Hugo Count Ingleheim was sentenced to three months at hard labor for assaulting a civilian (likely “Pen” Jordan) during the burning of the town.

Surprisingly, Veltheim did not take the relatively light sentence well, and issued a long, rambling statement where he reiterated his version of the events and asserted that he was only following orders.

Veltheim insisted there had been an explosion while the Hulfish property was burning, adding that it could have been a hand shell (grenade) thrown at the men in his patrol. He also denied any involvement with the burning of the Newman home or previous knowledge of the sick Newman child.

After expounding on the immutable rule of following orders, he stated “The words Capt.

Meusel used and what he said, even if he did not mean it, was a command… burning a town is so important a thing that I could not have done it without an order.”

While the court martial was over, the suffering of the people of Haymarket was just beginning. Fortunately, friends and neighbors

with homes outside of town took in some of the families, while others moved away, never to return. St. Paul’s Church was burned when the occupation force no longer needed it, but when the war was over, former residents of the town came back to rebuild.

“One by one, the old foundations were being covered over, and the old blackened chimneys smoking and fireplaces glowing with the light of home fires again,” wrote Sarah M. Turner, in Haymarket: A Town in Transition.

The Jordan’s had a new home by 1867, the Sanders rebuilt soon afterward, and Thomas A. Smith built a new tavern and store on the site of the old Red House Tavern. Rev. W.A. Alrich became the rector of St. Paul’s in 1867, and mounted an ambitious campaign to repair the church. He even collected $600 from Northern friends, and later the U.S. Government paid a claim for the damages.

Haymarket would survive one of the worst disasters suffered by any town in Virginia – and possibly the South – during the Civil War.

Fauquier Health New OB/GYN Physician Joins Fauquier Health Obstetricians/gynecologists Wesley Hodgson, M.D. and Dr. Lorraine Chun, M.D. have joined forces at Fauquier Health OB/ GYN on Hospital Hill. Dr. Hodgson began seeing patients in August, after serving eight years active duty in the military, four of those as an OB/GYN physician at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. Dr. Hodgson is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology.

“Camp Lejeune was a very busy place for a community hospital,” Dr. Hodgson says. “The staff delivers more than 2,000 babies each year, so the pace is always hectic. It was an excellent training ground.”

Dr. Hodgson’s military experience also taught lessons in compassion. At Camp Lejeune, he took care of hundreds of patients who were affected by the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. “So many of our moms who were delivering were alone because their husbands were deployed,” Dr. Hodgson explains. “That really brings a whole new element to a pregnancy because it involves so many more stressors.”

Dr. Hodgson’s passion for obstetrics and gynecology developed during medical school. “I was very enthusiastic about every specialty, but OB really stood out for me. First, it was the one area in the hospital where, even though there are often emergencies, there are so many happy endings, which was very appealing to me. And second, I really admired the close personal relationships that the OBs had with their patients. You don’t always see that, but it’s absolutely essential in this specialty. So I’ve been trying to emulate that ever since.”

One of the main features that drew Dr. Hodgson to Fauquier Health during the transition from military life to civilian life was the

Dr. Lorraine Chun Provides Patient-Centered Care for Women Lorraine Chun, M.D., has been with Fauquier Health OB/GYN since 2007. In the early part of her career, Dr. Chun was a public health professional who educated women about the importance of preventive health services, such as prenatal care, family planning and Pap test screenings. A physician who is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Chun believes healthcare should always be individualized for patients and their families. Dr. Chun is fluent in five languages: English, Spanish, French, Vietnamese and Cantonese.

Dr. Wesley Hodgson health system’s Planetree philosophy of care. Dr. Hodgson believes in always putting the needs of the patient first. “In our specialty, many patients come into the situation feeling very nervous. Labor and delivery are big, life-changing events, so I think it’s our job to help guide them through that, and to try to reduce their stress while providing the safest care possible. I could not be more impressed with how Fauquier Hospital looks, or with the philosophy of patient care the health system embraces — always putting the patient first.

The values of the Fauquier Health caregivers are unmatched from what I’ve seen elsewhere, and I’m looking forward to helping them deliver the best care possible.”

Family Birthing Center Since the inauguration of the O’Shaughnessy Family Birthing Center at Fauquier Hospital, expectant mothers have delivered their babies in a welcoming, family-centered atmosphere, attended by highly trained and qualified staff. Almost 900 little ones were welcomed into the world at Fauquier Hospital last year.

The birthing center has recently added expanded nursing coverage by a team of neonatal nurse practitioners. They can provide expert care to newborns every day, as well as more advanced training to the nursing staff.

In the Family Birthing Center mothers remain in the same room to labor, deliver, recover and relax after the baby is born. Moms never have to compromise comfort for the highest quality of medical care. The FBC features the latest medical equipment in a comfortable, home-like setting. There is also a dedicated surgical suite just steps from the private birthing rooms, just in case there is a need for a different level of care.

The Family Birthing Center is working toward adding a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit within the next 18 months, allowing the hospital to care for more critically ill newborns or babies that are several months premature. For a tour of the Family Birthing Center, call 540-316-4000.

Holiday Happiness

by Chris Ammerman

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” But does it feel that way to you each year?

These last two months of the year bring an uptick in family gatherings, parties, recitals and school concerts, shopping trips and household errands. Meanwhile at work there are year-end tasks and covering for co-workers who stayed home with the flu or left early for an aforementioned recital. It’s no wonder that sometimes we can’t wait for this wonderful time to be over.

Stretching yourself too thin will make you tired and miserable; it will also wear out your body and put you at greater risk for getting sick. In my work I’ve come to understand the obligations that cause people to over-commit themselves. Here are some ideas to help you overcome them: Remember what’s important. This time of year there’s a lot of talk about “the reason for the season.” Whatever season you observe, it’s good to remember what’s important at this time of year. Whether it’s family, friends, or the potential for new bling (hey, I don’t judge), take a moment to reflect on what’s meaningful to you and use that as your guiding principle for the rest of the year.

This, by the way, is a great conversation to have as a family unit. Let your spouse and kids have a chance to share what they hold important. Having everyone’s buy-in now will make for easier conversations later on.

Learn to say “No, thank you.” Once upon a time it was considered impolite to decline an invitation unless you had a prior engagement. Clearly those people didn’t have three kids involved in five activities plus costumes to make and four dozen cupcakes to bake by tomorrow. Accepting every invitation that you receive can and will lead to burnout.

Today it’s OK to say “No” to activities on your plate. Because you’ve already reflected on what’s important to you, you’ll have an easier time making your choices.

This is also a chance to explore why you take on as much as 14

you do. Is there an activity you repeat “because we’ve always done it” but no one enjoys it anymore. Do the kids have to be in every recital? Was the invitation personally directed to you, or did the host simply click “Select All” then “Send”?

People who care about you will respect your having to decline this year. Invite the ones you care about to get together in January when you’ll be looking for a distraction from the cold, gray days.

The one favor that I ask on behalf of all hosts: RSVP promptly.

“Maybe” leaves a host wondering whether to prepare for 25 guests or 8. And since she is also trying to avoid being stressed out, I’m sure she’d rather receive your regrets than be left hanging until the last minute.

Become an “imperfectionist.” I have to credit Christine Kane (christinekane.com) with teaching me this word. Actively accept that things will turn out imperfectly but it won’t matter.

Let’s say that you want to host a dinner party for your closest friends. In your head you possess Martha Stewart-esque qualities of organization, decorating, and food preparation; in reality, however, even if you have Martha’s skills, you probably don’t have all the free time she has to execute them to perfection. Instead, your soufflé might flop or you might forget the veggie side in the microwave. Those paper snowflakes aren’t as easy as they look. There will be something—perhaps many things—that will not meet your standards of perfection.

My own stories usually include something that never got done because my guests showed up before I was ready. Once, it was my own hair and makeup. Last year I realized one hour into the party that I was still wearing my comfy but ugly Crocs.

But these are you closest friends. They didn’t come to the party for your culinary skills (as amazing as they may be).

These people are here to spend time with you, not the beef wellington. If they are true friends (which they are, otherwise holiday is continued on page 16

“Before you put that calendar away, schedule your “me time” and family time.

Anything that’s pure fun with no obligation to others is wonderful” you would have invited someone else), you could serve them beer and pizza and they would say truthfully that they had a fabulous time—even if they’ve had to stare at your flat hair, makeup-less face, or ugly house shoes all evening.

Plan ahead. You can save yourself so much angst if you start thinking now about your obligations and choices. I’m notoriously horrible at time management except for when December rolls around—then I become a Goddess of Time.

If you don’t already have a household calendar, this is a great time to get one—and use it. Place it where the whole family can view it easily and frequently. Write in the activities that you’ve selected for this season. Then, for each activity identify any needed preparations and assign those activities a date as well. Is there anything that you can start doing now to save time later? Lots of food freezes well—even cake layers! …including time to recover. Before you put that calendar away, schedule your “me time” and family time. Anything that’s pure fun with no obligation to others is wonderful; if it involves exercise or movement, even better. Write it in Sharpie so that it’s easy to see and can’t be changed. Hold these times sacred because they are your balance, your recovery, your sanctuary against the onslaught of go, go, GO! Do, do, DO! Now, now, NOW! Ask for (and accept) help. The biggest threat to your sanity is trying to do too much by yourself. It goes along with that perfectionist thing. Let this be the year that you ditch that insanity.

Make sure your family helps. Take your friends up on their offer to bring a dish to the party. Let your kids make decorations (a practice in imperfectionism, for certain) and make them responsible for their own activities (with parental backup, of course).

16

“There’s no shame in calling a professional.” I just heard that on a carpet cleaning commercial. Sure, it’s not always feasible to pay someone else—but when it might be, consider other factors too. What’s the value of your time and sanity? If a few extra dollars will take a responsibility off your plate, it might be worth it. You can also employ semi-professional help from a friend with a creative hobby or the teenager down the street.

Eat right. What you eat affects your body chemistry, and your body chemistry affects your mood and mental stamina. From my training I know that eating from all food groups keeps your pH and your brain chemicals in check. It may be futile to suggest limiting your calorie intake; what may be easier is maintaining your acid-alkaline balance. Grabbing some leafy green vegetables, almonds, and other alkaline foods can help you feel better. (Download an alkaline food chart at www. thewolfeclinic.com/pdf/Alkaline _ Food _ Chart.pdf.)

Practice gratitude. Regardless of whatever other advice you follow, a simple way to collect yourself is to occasionally remember everything you’re grateful for. Gratitude is not only an emotion but a mindset that calms you by focusing your thoughts on joyful things. By repeating this simple practice for a few minutes each day you’ll be sure to bring this year to a gentle, joyful conclusion.

<3

tenderhearted teens confidence in beauty.

by Gloria Harding

Thirty-two million strong, the teen market is a force to be reckoned with, and its members have just as many questions as the ladies do about what looks good!

Teen Night at Tranquility has become an evening that is notorious for being the “it” place to be for beauty education and fun! This evening was birthed from our clients’ desire to help guide their young girls through the uncharted territory of pre-teen beauty. I had a client say to me, “My daughter came down the stairs the other night and just about scared me to death!” Apparently, the daughter was experimenting with mascara and looked like a spider landed on her!

My immediate thought was, “Wow! I bet a lot of our clients are going through this same process with their daughters. How can we help?” With that, the inaugural Teen night was born. Its goals are simple: it’s an evening designed to educate our teens on the dos and don’ts of hair, skin, nails and make-up. Mix in some yummy, healthy treats and swag bags full of goodies and prizes throughout the evening and you have the formula for a sell-out event every time!

Now six years and a teen of my own at home later, I’ve come to realize that this evening is about a lot more than beauty. Young women today need to know they are valued and treasured for what’s inside. Yes, feeling beautiful is important and knowing how to take care of your skin and nails is essential, but it only takes one visit to a local middle schools or high schools to realize that what these girls really need to know is that who you are is defined by what you believe and stand up for. A young girl that really knows her value is graceful and kind, loving and modest. She knows who she is and doesn’t compromise that for anyone, no matter how “unpopular” it will make her with the crowds. That’s real beauty.

So, how do we make our young women confident, sure of themselves and secure enough to stand up for what they believe? I believe that, as parents and mentors, we have to be those things first. That means leading by example, connecting them with their creator, praying for them and with them every day, and spending the time investing in them.

I will talk about how we do this, in part, by using health and beauty as a confidencebuilder—a gateway, if you will, to what’s fundamentally important. I believe outer beauty is on the path to inner beauty, and I look forward to sharing my views with you!

I’ll close this first column with a few makeup basics. Keeping makeup simple and safe is the key to a happy teenage makeover. We are all tempted to purchase the less expensive makeup at the grocery store, but makeup definitely goes under the old adage, “You get what you pay for.” This doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune-rather, you should understand the most important things to spend a little more on.

18

Here is a list of the must haves: 1) A great paraben-free moisturizer to wear under your make-up. We recommend Dermalogica’s Clean Start Brighten Up ($25) It is a multi-tasking lotion that contains a natural tint and shimmer, UV protection, while providing the perfect amount of hydration.

2) A mineral-based powder foundation is also very healthy for the skin, easy to use and reasonably priced. There are tons of them out there to choose from.

We recommend and use Bare Minerals ($28).

3) A mineral-based blush that can also be used as eye shadow. We recommend True All Over Face Color by Bare Minerals ($19).

4) A great mascara is very important.

It is inevitable that some of it may get in the eyes, so using a brand that is safe and health-conscious is key! Flawless Definition mascara by Bare Minerals is what we recommend ($18).

5) A great lip protector like Burt’s Bees ($3) will give a little gloss to the lips and hydrate and protect at the same time.

Five great things to start with, your daughter’s skin is worth it!

the Garden

Lady Changing Seasons, Time for Reflection I just picked my annual ‘last of season’ bouquet. When my garden is bursting and the windows are open I leave the flowers on the plants.

But every fall I love to take a walk through all of the green and brown in my garden and see what bunch of flowers I can assemble. Today’s is a real smile-maker: one last blue Endless Summer Hydrangea bloom, one Montauk Daisy, three blue Caryopteris, some Brazilian Verbena, a stalk of pink Penstemon, a few stems of Gaura which functions like Baby’s Breath but my cats leave alone, one stem of Lavender foliage for smell and texture, some long soft pieces of Russian Sage and a celebration of mums in many different colors. I stuffed it all in a hand painted vase and it is sitting here next to me.

Philip Mulford, J.D This walk also lets me reflect on what I accomplished this year, what I didn’t get to, what worked and what didn’t in my garden. I never did try that homemade Blackspot remedy but I did finally plant a Witchhazel. I never completely weeded around the stream bed but I did make great strides towards my deer resistant test garden. Walk around your garden. Pick a few pieces of flowers or even just a small branch of leaves. Bring them in as a lovely extension of the gardening season, a celebration of what you accomplished this year and a promise of everything that you will get to next year.

Reduce the Toll that Traffic Can Have on Our Bodies

by Jim Aram

We’re #1!

Pe r h a p s you’ve read the latest headlines regarding the DC Area being ranked #1 in traffic congestion according to a research group at Texas A&M. Thus affirming my theory that not only does DC excel at gridlock on Capital Hill, but this problem exists on the roads throughout the region as well.

The study claims that those in Metro DC spend an average of 74 hours stuck in traffic each year (the national average is 34). While the study also cites some additional statistics regarding fuel inefficiency and lost wages, many of us who spend hours in the car everyday know that sitting in traffic can take a toll on your body as well.

Common complaints that can be attributed to extended periods in the car include neck, back and shoulder pain along with cramps and stiffness. When we sit our pelvis naturally rolls backward and the small of our back tends to flatten out. This increases pressure in the discs of the spine. To further complicate matters many automobile manufacturers design their seats for short-term comfort versus long term support. Plush seats while comfortable can cause our spine to slump. Your unsupported flattened back can cause the ligaments that help hold your spine together to stretch and slacken when you sit for a long time. It will take a few minutes for these to contract back to normal once you stand and thus you should not expect them to immediately support the spine as they normally would after a long ride.

In addition to less than ideal posture while driving our bodies are exposed to whole-body vibration while riding in a vehicle. Every object has a resonant frequency and the vibration from the road is often in the body’s resonant frequency range. These vibrations can cause bursts of back muscle activity – which will often cause the neck and back muscles to fatigue more

quickly. Tired muscles decrease the level of support provided to the spine and thus increase the risk of injury. Certainly, many models of cars have improved suspensions that provide for a smoother ride. Such vehicles will mitigate the issues associated with vibration – however, those with rougher rides over time will increase the risk of developing a herniated disc.

Now that we’ve identified some of the main causes and symptoms associated with long car rides, let’s take a look at some ways to minimize your chances of injury and make sure you arrive at work or home free from and aches or pains.

Properly adjust you seat and steering wheel. You should be able to depress the gas and brake pedals without moving your low back off the back of your car seat. If you cannot, adjust your seat forward until you can do so.

Use a lumbar support. Many makes and models now come with built in lumbar support in the car seats. In the morning set the support softer when your disks are swollen with fluid after a good nights rest and set the support firmer in the evening when you’re body is often less hydrated. If your car does not have built in lumbar support, many inflatable lumbar supports are available for purchase or if you’re on a tight budget a properly placed rolled up towel will do the job.

While the ideal seat position for each person is unique, the angle between your thighs and torso should be about 110° and your hips should be relaxed. While not applicable to all makes and models, a good guideline is to set your seat so it is perpendicular to the floor and recline it back about two “clicks” to achieve the ideal angle.

Avoid slouching – If you’re like me this is an easy trap to fall into when you drive. You start out with great intentions and perfect posture, but as the miles pass by, you catch yourself hunched over the steering wheel and your body all out of sorts. Here’s a tip – adjust your rearview and side view mirror 22

when your posture is perfect. If you can’t see properly out of either while you’re cruising down the road – adjust your posture – not the mirrors.

With that said - to avoid postural fatigue you should shift your body slightly from time to time within reasonable limits.

This can help prevent overuse of certain muscles as well as alter the direction of vibration on your body.

Avoid lifting immediately after driving. If you’ve got to unload the groceries or carrying in luggage why not wait a few minutes. Your ligaments are stretched and the muscles that support your back are tired from sitting. Give your body time to recoup before trying to lift anything.

Take breaks and stretch – While this is not always practical on normal commute, if you have an exceptionally bad traffic day or you’re on a long road trip – you’re body will thank you if you stop for a few minutes to stretch. Try this – raise your arms above your head and breathe in deeply. This will lift your rib cage off your pelvis and restore the curve in your lower spine. Repeat 3 to 5 times or until you feel less pain.

While I wish I had the power to decrease the time we spend in our cars, I have not developed that super power quite yet.

However, I hope I have provided some useful tips to make that time in the car more bearable.

A budget is probably the most important tool any business can have.

It is the game plan for not only longterm business operations, but day-today operations as well. Furthermore, a budget can help a business meet its goals, assist in becoming more profitable and better managed through challenging financial times.

When you plan to drive someplace you have never been before, you generally view a map before you begin. This helps avoid wasting time and gas and keeps you from going in the wrong direction. Trying to run a business without a budget can be a very similar experience. You may be working hard and spending time and money, but are you really getting where you want to be?

A business budget is much like any kind of budget you would use for your personal finances. Think about when you made a large purchase (i.e. your car or home). You looked at what your take home pay was and calculated all of your expenses to determine how much you could afford. You have to do the same for your business.

Estimating and matching expenses to revenue (real or anticipated) is important because it allows business owners to determine whether

24

they have enough money to fund operations, expand the business and generate income for themselves.

Without a budget or a plan, a business runs the risk of spending more money than it is taking in or, conversely, not spending enough money to grow the business and compete.

While many businesses draft a budget on a yearly basis, small business owners should do so more often. In fact, many small business owners find themselves planning just a month or two ahead because business can be quite volatile and unexpected expenses can throw off revenue assumptions. It’s far better to operate on the premise on planning for success rather than planning not to fail!

A budget also allows for team members to know what the revenue goals are and therefore, gives them something to strive for. On the other side of the equation are the expenses. The only way to control expenses is to measure them. When actual numbers are off, adjustments can be made on a monthly basis and therefore, conserves more cash flow and permits for the business profits to be controlled. Last but not least, a budget allows for proper cash flow management, which is the number one critical element in any business.

Five Ways to be a Bad Networker By: Susan Jacobs-The Jacobs Team Realty World Select

If you are selling a product or service you need to understand what networking is and is not. Successful networking is about building relationships with people so that in turn they become a walking billboard for your business. If you do any of the following you will find fewer people who will be interested in doing business with you and seek out others who have the same product or service.

1

Acting like someone you are not. You meet someone who at first appears to be genuine in what they say or do, only to find out later they are incompetent. By acting like a phony you will never build trust. Trust and credibility are the foundation needed to build a strong lasting relationship.

following through on what you say. If you tell someone you’re going to get them a quote or send them 2 Not information then DO IT! The person asking for information has his hand in the air saying “I could be your next buyer. “ By not following through you will never know how much business could have resulted.

after the gain. Networking is a givers gain. The more you give the more you gain. If your sole purpose 5 Only when join groups is to receive the gain people will catch on very quickly and you will lose creditability.

These main points are crucial to becoming and maintaining a good networking relationship. Read them over again, see if you can improve in any of the five areas. These changes will most certainly build your credibility and connections over time.
