By Sue GoldenFrederick County Report

At last week’s public hearing to discuss the comprehensive plan that the Middletown planning commission sent to the town council, it was business as usual. Commission member and for-mer town councilor Mark Davis was the only person who signed up to discuss the merit, or lack thereof, of the proposed compre-hensive plan. Mr. Davis’ criticism of the plan ran from “there is no plan there” to the fact that the

commission voted on approv-ing the plan at an inappropriate meeting. “Twenty years from now, no one will remember the budget, but they will remember that the comprehensive plan did not protect the Middletown that we all love.” Mr. Davis, in very neutral terms, recommended that the council reject the com-prehensive plan put forth by the planning commission. Then the sparks flew. Gil Bar-rington, a member of the plan-ning commission and a former member of the town council

that quit with former mayor Mark Brown and councilor John Blaisdell in an unexpected huff, could not help himself. “I know I am giving Sue her story, but I can’t help myself” said Mr. Bar-rington. He accused Mr. Davis of having no friends and of not being able to agree with anyone on anything. “We took into ac-count Mr. Davis’ comments, and included them in this draft plan.” Mr. Barrington urged the council to adopt the comprehensive plan as proposed by the commission. Not to be outdone, former

mayor Mark Brown, who drafted the document that was used as a starting point by the commission with Mr. Barrington and Mr. Blaisdell, who is the current chair of the planning commission, de-cided to have his say also. Mr. Brown echoed Mr. Barrington, stating that the document draft-ed by the planning commission was an award-winning plan and had been approved by profes-sionals in the planning profes-sion. Mr. Brown also personally criticized Mr. Davis, and urged the council to pass the plan.

Mr. Brown was the only per-son to speak at the public meet-ing regarding the 14% increase in the water rate. While speak-ing in favor of the increase, Mr. Brown encouraged the coun-cil to look into ways to alleviate Middletown’s reliance on buying water from Winchester. “Middle-town residents are paying for a new walking mall and other in-frastructure upgrades in Win-chester. We need to find a way to keep these dollars in Middle-town.”

Whatever you are looking for, you are sure to find it at Newtown Antiques and Pawn. Don Wolfe apprenticed for years before open-ing his first shop in 2007 on Main Street in Stephens City. Now locat-ed at 375 Fairfax Pike in Stephens City, Don’s keen eye for upscale goods is readily apparent. Don’s inventory is incredible. There is furniture, silver, jewelry, art works, clocks, computers and memora-bilia. Actually, there is little that Don does not carry, except for fire arms, tools and vehicles. On a recent Saturday afternoon,

newly engaged Linda Jones and Jimmy Hoover of Stephenson wan-dered in after partaking of the Ap-ple Blossom Festival. Both dressed in “bloom” colors, the couple stopped in to browse. Jimmy, apparently, had a crush on Linda in junior high school. Decades and marriages later, the two reconnected. Their love for each other was readily apparent. Linda went immediately to the jewelry counter. After trying on several pieces of jewelry, Linda spotted a beautiful set of wedding rings. “Look” she squealed, “this set is priceless and it fits perfectly.” Don just smiled; another happy customer.

A gentleman wandered in and sold Don an iPad. “I called earlier” the man said. Don checked out the equipment before settling the deal. Things come in and go out.

Nothing is static. Everything is for sale. And the selection is endless. Three large rooms are filled with a incredible supply of goods. And Don has more in storage. Don’t see

what you are looking for? Be sure to ask. Don is bound to have ex-actly what you are looking for at a price that can’t be beat.

How does a scientist end up with a needleworks store? “My mother taught me,” says Jennifer Cave. It is a family tradition. After living in the pre-civil war house at 7969 Main Street in Mid-dletown for years, Jennifer and her husband Joe decided to remake the building into two businesses. Jen-nifer, with the ever important help of Karen and Denise, runs Val-ley Needleworks in the house. The log walls and ancient fireplaces are an historian’s dream. The store ca-ters to cross-stitchers. Jennifer’s

customers come from all over the United States to get exactly what they need for their next project. The downstairs is filled with crafting items. Threads, fabrics, charts, models and more line the walls. Stuck on a project? Stop on by and someone will know how to get you moving again. Need a spe-cial order? Jennifer is glad to help, with no extra charge. Wanting to pick up a new skill? Classes are held in the upstairs classroom, with large windows and old wainscoting. And to top it all, your frequent buyer card will save you money. Brenda Foushee, a local legend in the cross-stitch world, is teach-

ing a number of classes in the near future. There is Learn to Cross-Stitch, Learn to Cross-Stitch on Linen, Make Your Own Cording and How to Use Finishing Forms. Brenda also will be teaching the second Annual Mini Wool Stock-ing Class. Jenni Davis is teaching a Learn to Punchneedle class. Emily

Hynes is teaching Huck Pillow with Sampler Stitches. And there will be a Children Learn to Cross-Stitch Class. Information on all of the classes and the current Lizzie Kate trunk show can be found at www.valleyneedleworks.com. Husband Joe, with his faithful companion Bosco, rebuilds small engines in the back garage. Lawn mower or weed wacker problems?

Not for Joe. Small engines are his specialty. The biggest problem these days is the ethanol gas. Small engines don’t work well with the gas. Joe’s recommendation – only put into the tank what you will be using that day. Letting the gas set causes problems. There you go – all of your prob-lems solved right here in Middle-town.



Husband Joe services small engines in his shop behind Valley Needleworks.

Thread galore at Valley Needleworks in Middle-town.

Every May since 1963, our country has honored the con-tributions of people ages 65 and older as part of Older Americans Month. Older Americans are an ever-growing population in this country, and by the year 2060, the Census Bureau estimates there will be 92 million people ages 65 and older living in the United States.As you, your friends or family

members approach retirement age, there may be many new and possibly confusing financial and healthcare decisions to face. USA.gov can help you under-stand the benefits that are avail-able:Many preventative health care

services and yearly wellness vis-its are free for people with Medi-care under the Affordable Care Act. Similarly, Medicare Part D participants may be eligible for discounts on some of their prescription drugs. Learn more about the healthcare options and costs under the Affordable Care Act. The Administration on Aging

helps connect you with local pro-grams in your community and all

the benefits you may be eligible for. You can find programs and resources on healthy aging, long-term care facilities, in-home ser-vices, senior housing options and more. When it comes to retirement

planning, it can be hard to know what advice to trust. With a free packet of publications from USA.gov, you’ll learn how you can earn retirement benefits, get explanations of different types of retirement plans, learn what steps you can take to protect yourself against fraud and much more.If you want to get more actively

involved in Older Americans Month in your community, use this list of suggested activities to hold an event or volunteer with a group.

Volunteer Activities

Volunteering is a fun, relaxing, and energizing way to unleash the power of age. Whether read-ing to children or collecting food for the homeless, volunteering is a wonderful way for older adults to stay active and meet a diverse

range of people

Continuing Education/Speak-er Series

A speaker series is an excellent way to unleash the power of age: Talk to the older adults in your community and find out what topics interest them.

Community-Wide Sports Day

The stronger and more ener-gized we are in later life, the more we can do to unleash the power of age in our communi-ties.

Growing Something Good

Community gardening projects provide opportunities for older

adults, and people of all ages, to get fresh air and exercise while growing healthy, tasty ingredi-ents for their meals.

Community Cookbook and Potluck Meal

Sharing a meal often leads to sharing stories and experiences. Unleash the power of age by in-viting older adults and others to prepare a dish for a potluck din-ner.If some of the older adults are

unable to cook for themselves, ask them to provide a recipe and pair them with someone who can do the shopping and cooking. Collect the recipes and compile them into a community cook-book that you can share with participants after the event.

RICHMOND – Lottery winners aren’t the only ones with any luck: The Virginia Lottery saw re-cord ticket sales in the past year, as the economy continued its re-covery and several big-name re-tailers started selling tickets.During the 2012 fiscal year,

which ended June 30, the Vir-ginia Lottery’s ticket sales totaled $1.6 billion. That was an increase of $136 million, or 9 percent,

from 2011.The lottery’s profits – after pay-

ing prizes, retailer compensa-tion and administrative expenses – topped $487 million last year. That easily beat the previous re-cord of $455 million in 2008. All of the profits go to public educa-tion.Virginia Lottery players also had

their share of luck, with more winners and more games offered. In 2012, players collected more than $962 million in prizes, an increase of $81 million from the

previous year. Thirty-three Vir-ginia Lottery players won prizes of at least $1 million in 2012. “We’ve been working very hard the last few years to increase our retailer base,” she said. “We lost a lot of retailers in the down economy, but if you look over the last few years we’re probably up about 500 retailers. And consid-ering how many we’ve lost, that’s pretty significant.”At the end of 2012, nearly 5,300

retailers were selling lottery tick-ets across the state – up 4 per-cent from the previous year.The Virginia Lottery recently

added Wawa, which has more than 60 convenience stores across the state, to its list of re-tailers. The Rite Aid pharmacy chain also has been added in the past two years.The Virginia Lottery has 70 rep-

resentatives from across the state to recruit retailers to sell lottery

tickets. Retailers earned almost $91 million in commissions from the Virginia Lottery. They receive a 5 percent commission for every ticket sold. Retailers also enjoy incentives and bonuses for sell-ing tickets that win prizes of at least $20,000.

Virginia’s Hurricane PreparednessSales Tax Holiday - May 25-31

It’s smart to get ready for hurricane and flash flooding season, which arrives June 1st. And it’s smart to save money. You can do both by shopping for such products as batteries, food storage containers, generators, first aid kits, bottled water, radios and more between May 25 and 31. When you do, you won’t pay sales tax on many useful products that cost up to $60 or on generators costing $1,000 or less. That’s a savings of 5 per-cent. A complete list of exempt items is available at www.tax.virgin-ia.gov/salestaxholiday. Purchasing supplies is important, but it’s critical to make a family emergency plan. Protect your family now by making a plan. It’s free, it’s simple, and it will make a big difference.

Phone Scam Update Local residents are continuing to receive calls from an auto-mated message claiming to be from Winchester Federal Credit Union. Residents are reminded to hang up when they receive these calls. If you hang up and have not given your information on these calls, there is no need to call the police department. If you have given your information including your credit card number, please contact your bank immediately and then call the Winchester Police Department Non-Emergency number at (540) 662-4131 to file a police report. We appreciate your coop-eration in this matter as our dispatchers are experiencing a very high call volume due toApple Blossom Festival.

Strasburg is known for its an-tiques and collectables. But hold on! A new store has moved into town, bringing a different zeitgeist to the Strasburg shopping experi-ence. Melding with some of Stras-burg’s local establishments (This ‘n That and Ltd Edition Prints come to mind...) Honeybee carries all sorts of locally crafted and one-of-a-kind items. Owner Anna Jenkins always dreamed of having her own store. An artist by nature, she has always been involved with the arts. Her current endeavors include “upcy-cling” and “repurposing.” A yard sale cake pan becomes a beauti-ful household ornament. Pieces of wood become candlelit center-pieces. Wine glasses become keep-sakes. Most of the art for sale at Hon-eybee’s is locally crafted. There are saws painted with wonderful country scenes. A skilled seam-stress offers quilts, bibs and burp-ing clothes in wonderful fabrics. There are flower centerpieces and sprays for your door. Several jew-elry makers offer a wide selection

at a great price. Victoriana and primitive crafts are featured items. Cute magnets don’t even dent your pocketbook at $1.29. Anna is adding vendors with new skills all of the time. The store items are subject to change at the whim of the artists. Classes are be-ing organized to share the wealth of knowledge of local crafters.

Nothing says Virginia like a lo-cally crafted gift, whether for your-self or for someone you love. Stop in to meet Anna and her artists at

110 North Massanutten Street in Strasburg. You will be delighted you did.

Green is in at Honeybee’s with all sorts of upcycled and repurposed arts.

RICHMOND – The Virginia Lottery was created after a state-wide vote in 1987, making the Old Dominion the 29th state to establish a government-operated lottery.Today, 44 states have lotteries

– including Wyoming, which joined the club in March. Wash-ington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands also have lot-teries.Hawaii, Alaska, Utah, Nevada,

Mississippi and Alabama are the only states without lotteries.Paula Otto, the executive direc-

tor of the Virginia Lottery, con-siders Virginia was the first real Southern state to have a lottery. (Florida created its lottery before Virginia, but with so many retir-ees from the North, it’s not your typical Southern state.)“Virginia sort of cracked the

South,” Otto said.Perhaps it was fitting that Vir-

ginia did so. The Jamestown Settlement was funded by a lot-tery held in 1612 by the Virginia Company, and lotteries provided funding for the College and Wil-liam and Mary and the Univer-sity of Virginia before the com-monwealth outlawed gambling in 1849.

In 1987, Virginia voters ap-proved a referendum to create a state-run lottery. Initially, the General Assembly earmarked the lottery profits for construc-tion projects and then for the state’s General Fund, which sup-ports a variety of functions like education, public safety and so-cial services. Lottery profits went to the General Fund for about 10 years.“In part, the decision was made

to have it go to the General Fund because no one was sure if a lot-tery would be successful in Vir-ginia,” Otto said.In 1999, the General Assembly

designated lottery revenue to K-12 education. The following year, voters added that to the Virginia Constitution. Since 1999, the Virginia Lottery has generated more than $5 billion for public education, officials say.Otto said the state budget lists

20 programs supported by lot-tery proceeds. Among them: class size reduction in kindergar-ten through third grade; tutoring for the Standards of Learning tests; and a fund for textbooks.

Otto said the Virginia Lottery has no control over where the money goes. She said the lottery gives the money to the Virginia Department of Education, which disburses it according to the state budget.All unclaimed prizes go to the

state’s Literary Fund, which also supports educational programs. The Virginia Lottery had almost $11.3 million in unclaimed prizes last year. Since its inception, the Virginia Lottery has had more than $224 million in unclaimed prizes.

MISC

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don’t waste your time and energy fretting over remarks you consider unneces-sary or unkind. Best advice: Ignore them, and just keep doing your usual good job.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Get-ting that new perspective on a work-place situation could lead to a solution everyone will accept. Meanwhile, make time to keep up with your cre-ative pursuits.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Those changes you planned to implement in early summer might need to be reas-sessed. But don’t make any moves until you’ve discussed this with some-one you trust.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your aspects favor harmony, making this a good time to work out problems in relationships — whether personal or professional, big or small. An old friend comes back.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) While you’re still riding that high-powered beam, you might begin to lose focus by week’s end. Could be you’ll need to do a little cat-napping to restore your spent energies.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An unexpected development cre-ates a lot of excitement. Where it takes you is your decision. Check out the possibilities, then decide if you want

to go with it or not.LIBRA (September 23 to October

22) Although your supporters help you squash an unfair claim against you, don’t let this go unchallenged. You need to learn more about the motives of those behind it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-ber 21) There are still some tasks to clear up by midweek. Then you can welcome the new month on a high note. A friend brings surprising but very welcome news.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might want to change your plans before they’re set in cement. Consider advice from col-leagues. But remember that, ultimate-ly, it’s your choice.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A difficult situation is working itself out. Lingering problems should be resolved by week’s end, allowing the Goat to enjoy a calmer, less stressful period.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Feb-ruary 18) Be careful not to move so quickly that you miss possible warn-ing signs that could upset your plans. Slow down. Your supporters will con-tinue to stand by you.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your generosity in sharing your time and wisdom with others leads to an intriguing development that could have you considering some interesting choices.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of influencing people to be and do their best. You would make an excel-lent teacher.

• On May 1, 1926, Ford Motor Com-pany becomes one of the first compa-nies in America to adopt a five-day, 40-hour week. In early 1914, Ford had announced it would pay workers a minimum wage of $5 per eight-hour day, upped from a previous rate of $2.34 for nine hours.

• On April 30, 1939, the New York World’s Fair opens in New York City on a 1,200-acre site at Flushing Mead-ow Park in Queens. Among the new technology exhibited was FM radio, robotics, fluorescent lighting and a crude fax machine.

• On May 3, 1946, in Tokyo, the International Military Tribunals begins hearing the case against 28 Japanese military and government officials accused of committing war crimes during World War II. The trial ended with 25 of 28 Japanese defen-dants being found guilty. Of the three other defendants, two had died during the trial, and one was declared insane.

• On May 5, 1955, the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germa-ny) becomes a sovereign state when the United States, France and Great Britain end their military occupa-tion, which had begun in 1945. With this action, West Germany was given the right to rearm and become a full-fledged member of the western alli-ance against the Soviet Union.

• On May 2, 1964, an explosion of a charge assumed to have been placed by Viet Cong terrorists sinks the USNS Card at its dock in Saigon. No one was injured and the ship was eventu-ally raised and repaired. The Card had arrived in Saigon two days earlier.

• On May 4, 1970, at Kent State Uni-versity in Ohio, students protesting the Vietnam War torch the ROTC build-ing on campus, and Ohio Gov. James Rhodes called in the National Guard to restore order.
