Comprehensive Plan to be Voted on by Middletown Town Council By Sue Golden Frederick 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 former town councilor Mark Davis was the only person who signed up to discuss the merit, or lack thereof, of the proposed comprehensive plan. Mr. Davis’ criticism of the plan ran from “there is no plan there” to the fact that the
commission voted on approving 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 comprehensive plan put forth by the planning commission. Then the sparks flew. Gil Barrington, a member of the planning 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. Barrington. He accused Mr. Davis of having no friends and of not being able to agree with anyone on anything. “We took into account 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

Mr. Brown was the only person to speak at the public meeting regarding the 14% increase in the water rate. While speaking in favor of the increase, Mr. Brown encouraged the council to look into ways to alleviate Middletown’s reliance on buying water from Winchester. “Middletown residents are paying for a new walking mall and other infrastructure upgrades in Winchester. We need to find a way to keep these dollars in Middletown.”

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, decided to have his say also. Mr. Brown echoed Mr. Barrington, stating that the document drafted by the planning commission was an award-winning plan and had been approved by professionals in the planning profession. Mr. Brown also personally criticized Mr. Davis, and urged the council to pass the plan.

Found them!
Upscale is in at Newtown Antiques and Pawn.
Searching for the perfect wedding rings.
By Sue Golden Frederick County Report
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.
Whatever you are looking for, you are sure to find it at Newtown Antiques and Pawn. Don Wolfe apprenticed for years before opening his first shop in 2007 on Main Street in Stephens City. Now located 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 memorabilia. Actually, there is little that Don does not carry, except for fire arms, tools and vehicles. On a recent Saturday afternoon,
A Day at Clem’s Garage
newly engaged Linda Jones and Jimmy Hoover of Stephenson wandered in after partaking of the Apple 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.
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 exactly what you are looking for at a price that can’t be beat. Be sure to check out the video of Newtown Antiques & Pawn at FrederickCounty.com Keyword: “pawn”

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.

Driver Improvement Clinic - Licensed by DMV Jennifer Cave, owner and needleworker, in her store Valley Needlworks. By Sue Golden Frederick County Report 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 Middletown for years, Jennifer and her husband Joe decided to remake the building into two businesses. Jennifer, with the ever important help of Karen and Denise, runs Valley Needleworks in the house. The log walls and ancient fireplaces are an historian’s dream. The store caters 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 special order?

Virginia Lottery hits its own jackpot By Shelby Mertens Capital News Service
RICHMOND – Lottery winners aren’t the only ones with any luck: The Virginia Lottery saw record ticket sales in the past year, as the economy continued its recovery and several big-name retailers started selling tickets. During the 2012 fiscal year, which ended June 30, the Virginia 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 paying prizes, retailer compensation and administrative expenses – topped $487 million last year. That easily beat the previous record of $455 million in 2008. All of the profits go to public education. 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
Phone Scam Update
previous year. Thirty-three Virginia 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 considering how many we’ve lost, that’s pretty significant.” At the end of 2012, nearly 5,300
retailers were selling lottery tickets across the state – up 4 percent from the previous year. The Virginia Lottery recently added Wawa, which has more than 60 convenience stores across the state, to its list of retailers. The Rite Aid pharmacy chain also has been added in the past two years. The Virginia Lottery has 70 representatives from across the state to recruit retailers to sell lottery

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 percent. A complete list of exempt items is available at www.tax.virginia.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.

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 “upcycling” and “repurposing.” A yard sale cake pan becomes a beautiful household ornament. Pieces of wood become candlelit centerpieces. Wine glasses become keepsakes. Most of the art for sale at Honeybee’s is locally crafted. There are saws painted with wonderful country scenes. A skilled seamstress offers quilts, bibs and burping clothes in wonderful fabrics. There are flower centerpieces and sprays for your door. Several jewelry makers offer a wide selection

Lottery has produced billions for schools By Shelby Mertens Capital News Service
RICHMOND – The Virginia Lottery was created after a statewide 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. Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands also have lotteries. Hawaii, Alaska, Utah, Nevada, Mississippi and Alabama are the only states without lotteries. Paula Otto, the executive director of the Virginia Lottery, considers Virginia was the first real Southern state to have a lottery. (Florida created its lottery before Virginia, but with so many retirees from the North, it’s not your typical Southern state.) “Virginia sort of cracked the South,” Otto said. Perhaps it was fitting that Virginia did so. The Jamestown Settlement was funded by a lottery held in 1612 by the Virginia Company, and lotteries provided funding for the College and William and Mary and the University of Virginia before the commonwealth outlawed gambling in 1849.

In 1987, Virginia voters approved a referendum to create a state-run lottery. Initially, the General Assembly earmarked the lottery profits for construction projects and then for the state’s General Fund, which supports a variety of functions like education, public safety and social 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 lottery would be successful in Virginia,” Otto said. In 1999, the General Assembly designated lottery revenue to K12 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 lottery proceeds. Among them: class size reduction in kindergarten through third grade; tutoring for the Standards of Learning tests; and a fund for textbooks.
Free Estimates!
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.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don’t waste your time and energy fretting over remarks you consider unnecessary or unkind. Best advice: Ignore them, and just keep doing your usual good job. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Getting that new perspective on a workplace situation could lead to a solution everyone will accept. Meanwhile, make time to keep up with your creative pursuits. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Those changes you planned to implement in early summer might need to be reassessed. But don’t make any moves until you’ve discussed this with someone 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 creates 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 November 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 colleagues. But remember that, ultimately, 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 February 18) Be careful not to move so quickly that you miss possible warning signs that could upset your plans. Slow down. Your supporters will continue 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 excellent teacher. Š 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

! " # " $ % &
Come spring, shoppers often ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What gift should Iget Mom for Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day?â&#x20AC;? How do people transform the sentiments they have for their mother into gifts that represent love and devotion? Buying a Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day gift is no easy task, especially for those who wait until the last minute to do their shopping. Beginning early can ease the pressure of Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day shopping. Research gift options at least a month prior so that you can read reviews on products and services to guarantee quality. You also want to make sure the gift will arrive on time if you will be ordering your gift online. Here are other ways to shop in a smart manner. â&#x20AC;˘ Do some sleuthing. Play detective and take inventory of what Mom likes to do the most. If you ask your mother what she wants, she will likely brush off the question and tell you nothing. It is up to you to do the investigative work. Pay attention to conversations and see if there is anything she mentions wanting to try or something around the house that may need updating. Practical gifts are less likely to end up unopened in the basement or attic. â&#x20AC;˘ Check expiration dates. Gift certificates and cards for particular stores or services are popular come Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. But it is essential to check expiration dates on the certificates or find gifts, as there is a good chance Mom will put off pampering herself and you would not want the gift to expire before she has a chance to use it. In compliance with the law, chain restaurant gift cards donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expire for at least five years from purchase. Those might be your safest bet. â&#x20AC;˘ Verify a business. Although Mom may love a cute boutique that just opened, verify the business before buying a gift

card from it. An unpredictable economy has made it even harder for new businesses to succeed, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Mom to be stuck with a worthless gift card should the new business not thrive. If she really likes a particular new business, take her on a shopping spree at the store instead. â&#x20AC;˘ Skip the chocolate overload. Flowers and chocolates are traditional Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day gifts. However, calorie-conscious women may not want to be faced with the temptation of a warehouse-sized box of chocolate treats. If Mom truly loves chocolate, treat her to a gourmet piece or two, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make that your main gift. â&#x20AC;˘ Avoid â&#x20AC;&#x153;final saleâ&#x20AC;? items. It can be tempting to peruse the deep-discount rack at Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite store when retailers cut prices on items in anticipation of a new season. However, these sales may come with restrictions on returns or exchanges. Unless you know Mom will like what you pick out, avoid the â&#x20AC;&#x153;final saleâ&#x20AC;? racks in favor of items that can be returned or exchanged. â&#x20AC;˘ Ask for a price match. In an effort to keep a loyal customer base, many stores will price match against competitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ads. Therefore, if you feel more comfortable at a certain store, print out the advertised price and bring it to your favorite store. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chance they will give you the item for the same price. This works particularly well for tech gifts that typically go on sale in the days leading up to a holiday or special event. There are different ways to make shopping for Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day gifts a little easier and guarantee the best experience for Mom as well!
