Boundary adjustment put on hold Middletown Town Council getting closer on budget

By Sue Golden Frederick County Report

Middletown put the proposed boundary adjustment of Reliance Road on hold until the council meets with its lawyer to discuss how the boundary adjustment should proceed. The council came to the work session on March 4th with lots of questions about the “steering committee” that met with representatives from Frederick County two weeks ago. In a very dramatic scene, Councilor John Copeland said that Mayor Charles H. Harbaugh, IV appointed the members of the steering committee. With all eyes on him, the mayor stared at Councilor Copeland for a long time before saying softly that he did not appoint anyone to the steering committee.

After a very heated discussion, the council decided to invite its attorney to a meeting to explain how the boundary adjustment should proceed. According to town clerk Rebecca Layman, David Griffin, Esq. told her that the boundary adjustment should be easy if done right, and can be costly and difficult if not.

Nothing further will be done until the council receives Mr. Griffin’s counsel.

The council spent the rest of the meeting going over the budget submitted by Donald Riffey, the head of

public works. The council approved Mr. Riffey’s line item for a new zeroturn, since the transmission on the one the town currently owns is going bad. The council nixed Mr. Riffey’s line item for a new truck and equipment for the truck, saving the town $27,582. Money set aside for sidewalk repair was approved. As of the end of the meeting, the budget was in the red by $253,000.

Councilor Tripp Chewning noted in the meeting that when the town treasurer initially distributed figures to be used for the budget she appro-

priately used last year’s figures, and that a copy was provided to Chief Phil Breeden. All parties are still working to clean up the budget figures. Councilor Chewning hopes to have the numbers as right as possible by the committee meeting. Councilor Chewning also looked into the town’s insurance policy; it does not require drug testing. Middletown does require random drug testing.

The personnel policy will need to be amended to include the random drug testing.

“I’m not sure if that is good or bad . . . .”

By Sue Golden Frederick County Report The Wayside Theatre Foundation Board met on Tuesday, February 26th to determine the fate of the Wayside Theatre. The theatre, which was started in 1961, has been having financial difficulties for years. Last year, the theatre did an emergency fundraising drive to save the theatre.

People responded and the theatre was saved.

Or so they thought. Now the theatre is looking for money or it will close for good. At least $90,000 to start with, and $250,000 per year in funding thereafter.

Why the shortfall? According to Artist Director Warner Crocker, “good intentions and hopes for a better day have indeed led us to make mistakes.” Among the mistakes cited

by Crocker are: accruing deficits and borrowing money to keep going, fail-

ing to recognize shifting market conditions early enough, and continuing on when pledges to help with the renovation fell through. During the poor economy, funding for the arts is one of the first things to be cut from budgets. Ticket sales are down. All of the theatre’s revenue streams were negatively impacted by the economy.

In addition, the theatre hoped to turn 70% of the donors from the last emergency fund drive into annual donors; only 30% became annual donors. The financial misery was exacerbated when the fall and holiday season of 2012 “had less than successful ticket sales.” Bad weather was a prominent feature of some of the hurt, causing black outs during the Christmas show.

Where does the money raised go?

Salaries for the actors and staff cost approximately $450,000 per year.

The rest of the almost $700,000 budget goes to benefits and payroll

We’ve Moved!

taxes, production costs, housing, theatre management, utilities and depreciation, insurance, interest and bank fees, and miscellaneous other.

Ticket sales do not come close to even paying for salaries. Sales, concessions, classes and others bring in a relatively small amount of money.

The theatre relies on fundraising for over $250,000.

The theatre has taken steps over the past year to cut its spending.

When the general manager and the development director left the theatre, their positions were not filled.

Three intern positions were eliminated. The production manager is no longer. The scene designer and technical director roles were merged. The theatre abandoned its Actors’ Equity Union contract, reducing the number of higher paid union actors. The

A Day at Clem’s Garage

marketing and advertising departments were dropped. Production costs for each show were reduced.

One challenge if the theatre moves forward will be finding a more proactive board and a willing volunteer pool to take over some of the eliminated positions. Help will be needed with all aspects of the theatre.

On February 20th, the Wayside Theatre Foundation Board had a town hall meeting to explain the finances of the theatre, and to get input from the community. Although not a full house, the audience included people from Middletown, Strasburg, Front Royal, White Post, Manassas, and Reston. Who did not attend? Not one member of the political community attended the event. Crocker says that this makes grant applications difficult, since one

of the big questions asked is how much support is given by the local governments.

Some of the suggestions included opening the theatre when it is dark for community events or meetings, and extending intermission to allow for more time in the Curtain

Crocker sighed when he said the current fundraising drive provides “great relief and trepidation every day.” Some days checks come in,

some days they don’t. People continue to show support. At press time, the theatre raised over $81,000.

Is that enough to save the theatre?

the phone in an urgent voice. When he stopped, he looked at me and said in a tired voice “hey you, I am not avoiding you. I am just very busy.” As he walked back toward the theatre I asked him “has the board made a decision?” He stopped, turned around, and said “they are still deliberating.”

The board authorized the theatre

to finish out the 51st season. The board is still meeting to determine the ultimate fate of the theatre.

51st Season to Continue

By Sue Golden wvFrederick County Report

The Wayside Theatre’s Artistic Director Warner Crocker is encouraged and pleased to announce that the Wayside Theatre Foundation Board has voted to continue the 51st season. The production of “Spelling Bee” and spring acting classes will go forward as planned.

The board spent two long evenings debating the future of the theatre. Crocker pointed out that the board is “cognizant of the immense burden of making a decision about the future of the Wayside Theatre.

They feel the community’s support and deep passion for the Wayside.

The board is in the process of making deliberate plans on how to move forward.”

The board is in the middle of its “$90,000 in 90 days” campaign.

Crocker says the theatre has collected over $81,000 to date. The campaign deadline is April 8th.

The very life of the Wayside Theatre is at stake.

Crocker is thankful for the “wonderful outpouring of support shown by the extended community.” At this point, the theatre needs money, volunteers, committee members and everything else.

The theatre staff, according to Crocker, has spent all of its energy producing “magic” for its audience. It was hard for the theatre community to share what really is involved in making the theatre work. However, by sharing the numbers and the chores involved in making a production and a theatre successful will hopefully help the community become part owners of the theatre.

General Assembly OKs budget amendments

By Jessica Dahlberg Capital News Service RICHMOND – As the 2013 legislative session came to a close, the Virginia General Assembly approved amendments to the state’s two-year budget Saturday that included expanding Medicaid and spending more money on education.

The amendments were passed by both the House (on an 83-17 vote) and the Senate (31-8) after tense discussions over Medicaid, which provides medical care for low-income people. Legislators agreed to expand the program if certain reforms are made.

The reforms will make Medicaid look similar to non-government health insurance policies.

Under the reforms, Medicaid will provide long-term care for

more Virginians and more waivers for families with children who have special needs. Moreover, the state will standardize the way it calculates the income of Medicaid applicants under the new federal health-care law, the Affordable Care Act. “Virginia currently ranks 47th in the nation in Medicaid coverage,” said Sen. Mark Herring, DLeesburg. “The expansion will cover over 300,000 uninsured Virginians and infuse tens of billions of dollars into our state’s economy.”

To implement the reforms, the state Department of Medical Assistance and Services, which

manages Medicaid in Virginia, will need permission from the federal government.

A Virginia legislative commission will also have to review and approve the reforms before they can be adopted. If the commission approves the changes, they would be effective July 1, 2014, when the federal Medicaid eligibility standards are set to expand under the Affordable Care Act. The education initiatives included in the budget agreement were a top priority for Virginia, according to House Speaker William Howell, R-Stafford.

Another priority was putting money into Virginia’s savings accounts, Howell said. The final budget puts $125 million into these accounts: $95 million will go to the “rainy day fund” for contingencies and $30 million will be set aside in case the looming federal cuts harm Virginia’s economy.

Other provisions included in the budget agreement are: • A 2 percent raise for state employees. They will also receive $65 for every year of service to help balance the salaries of employees that have been with the state a long time. The $65 increase is limited to employees with five years of service and will stop after 30 years to be capped at $1,950.

• 200 additional intellectual disability waivers and 50 developmental disability waivers have been added for fiscal year 2014. These waivers provide Medicaid assistance especially for children who have special needs.

• $6.9 million for public higher education faculty salary increases up to 3 percent.

• $1.3 million for grants to hire school resource officers and school security officers to work in elementary, middle and high schools.

Esther Boyd Animal Shelter & the Service Learning Class at Millbrook High School Between July 2011-July 2012, 3683 stray cats have been brought in to the Esther Boyd Animal Shelter. That shows an increase over the previous year in which only a little over 1200 strays were turned in to authorities. When asked how the public views this situation, Mr. Charles S. DeHaven Jr. of the Frederick County Board of Supervisors asked,”Are they aware and do they care?”

Millbrook High School seniors, Megan Castano, Allison Gyovai, Thalia Ortiz, and Ashlynn Smeltzer have been working with the Esther Boyd Animal Shelter for the past three months alongside Kathy Whetzel and Holly Grimm, directors of the shelter, to determine how this issue can be solved. After learning about the breeding patterns of cats, and that one cat could potentially have about 288 kittens within her lifetime, students understood the

real problem. “I never noticed the cat problem until I was educated about it,” says Thalia Ortiz, the group’s team leader. “I started noticing all of the stray cats throughout the community after we began to research this problem.”

The students conducted a survey of 100 residents at four different locations around Winchester City/ Frederick County and it was clear that many people lacked any general knowledge about this increasing problem. “Educating the public has become our number one focus, instead of forcing new laws or spending more money,” says group member Megan Castano. “We decided to speak out about the problem and see what kind of response we could get.

Coming up with ways to educate the public was the easy part, the hard part is to keep this knowledge flowing through the community and its people constantly.

“New Year, New You”

Volunteering, trapping feral cats, donations, and maybe creating a new job for a local compliance officer were solutions we thought might keep this problem on the minds of people in our county.”

The students stress that the thing to remember is that these animals were domesticated by humans and that now we have to do our part to take care of what we have created. They have learned that just caring about a stray cat on the side of the road or one that comes to your door won’t do anything to solve the problem. The Esther Boyd Animal Shelter works to find homes for stray cats, but the sad reality is that feral cats that grow up wild have a poor chance of being good pets. Stray Cats are cats that have been domesticated and have been thrown out by humans while feral cats are cats that have been born and raised in the wild because of stray cats breed-

in order to prevent any addition to the population problem. They also ask that if citizens find feral or stray cats they should contact Frederick County Animal Control or trap the abandoned animals and bring them to the shelter, instead of feeding the cats outside of their doors. With the help of the community taking action against the problem, many stray cats will get another chance to be what they were intended to be, household pets.

ing. But shelters like this are a second chance for many cats to have a new beginning, however the students stress that we cannot only rely on shelter employees to solve this local issue. The entire community has a stake in this. So Thalia, Megan, Allison, and Ashlynn are asking the community at large, “What could you do to help save the lives of many stray animals in your community?”

The group suggests that if you own pets, you should have them spayed or neutered as soon as they are mature enough to do so

A Place at the Table: The Crisis of 49 Million Hungry Americans and How to Solve It Edited by Peter Pringle (PublicAffairs, $15.99) Reviewed by Larry Cox America has truly become one nation, underfed.

Despite our bounty, 49 million people in the United States — including one in four children —- go hungry every day. This is not because we as a nation do not have the means to provide nutritious, affordable food for all our citizens. Rather, it is a lack of innovation, proper planning and use of money.

During rough economic times, more and more people depend on food stamps and other safety-net programs. Even though times have gotten even tougher since the crash in 2009, many members of Congress are determined to slash or eliminate many of these vital programs in an effort to balance the budget. If the food stamps program is cut, one can only wonder what will happen to the 15 percent of Americans who depend on it. Even more shameful is that a country as wealthy as the United States has 49 million people going to bed hungry each night.

This companion book was triggered by the critically acclaimed documentary, “A Place at the Table,” and features gritty, insightful and thoughtprovoking essays from food and hunger activists and reformers who in addition to identifying the problem, serve up innovative ways that we can change the dire problem of hunger.

The essays and contributions provide context and background for the documentary.

Peter Pringle, author and co-author of 10 books on science and politics, including the bestseller “Food Inc.,” edits this collection. Essayists include such heavy hitters as Jennifer Harris of Yale University; David Beckmann, head of Bread of the World; Andy Fisher, veteran activist; and Marion Nestle, nutritionist and acclaimed critic of the food industry.

As Pringle points out, hunger in American can be reversed if we join forces to make healthy food both more available and affordable. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Fountain Pen

Q:

I have a Sheaffer’s Lifetime fountain pen, in excellent condition. How much is it worth?

— Mrs. F.V., Rio Rancho, N.M. According to “Collecting Pens”

by Edward Kiersh, if your pen was manufactured in 1950 and is a Lifetime Triumph with Touchdown filler, it could be worth $125 in new to excellent condition. *** We have a stovetop waffle iron that was manufactured

by Stover. We would like to know if it has any value as a collectible. — Hershel and Freda, Jackson, Mo. Prices depend on rarity and desirability. Although I could not find your particular waffle iron in my reference books, a rule of thumb is that the more intricate the waffle iron, the higher the price. For example, the Yum Yum waffle iron manufactured

by Griswold for hotel kitchens is valued at between $500 and $1,200, depending on size and model. Most of the other simpler ones fall into the $40 to $100 range, again depending on rarity and desirability. I would think that your waffle iron might fall into that range, too. *** I have dozens of old 78 rpm records by such artists as Patti Page, Dinah Shore and Frank Sinatra. Where can I sell them? —

A:

Q: A:

Q:

Mrs. J.W., Holmdel, N.J. Good question. Finding anyone interested in 78 rpm records is getting harder and harder.

There are three major reasons why this is so. First, most of the better vintage music has been transferred to either cassette tape or compact discs. Second, finding equipment to play the older records on is becoming almost impossible and, finally, 78 rpm discs are fragile and difficult to preserve and store. I wish I had better news for you, but I suggest you donate your collection to a charity. *** I began collecting Western paperbacks when I was a teenager more than 50 years ago. I would now like to sell them. Please advise me. — Marsha, Sioux Falls, S.D. I suggest you start by contacting dealers in your area. The Book Shop buys and sells used paperbacks, a good place to begin. Contact is 223 S. Phillips Ave., Sioux Falls, SD 57104.
