Spend less on family travel Many families go on vacation once the school year ends. But with the fluctuating prices of fuel, driving or flying with a family of four or more can be costly. Those fed up with yet another “staycation” may be wondering how they can trim costs but still get away.

Taking a vacation is a way for people to rest and recharge.

Even if a trip lasts just a few days, the change of scenery and the chance to leave behind the

daily grind can provide a muchneeded escape. According to Travelhorizons(TM), people traveling with children or grandchildren make up roughly 30 percent of all adult leisure travelers. The average American family takes four to five leisure trips per year, and there are many ways to save money on such excursions without compromising the fun factor.

Travel Method Flying to a destination is often more expensive than taking a train or driving. Consider renting a van or even an RV to transport the entire family to your destination if it is within reasonable driving distance. Family members can take turns driving to cut down on the number of stops that need to be made.

If you prefer to fly, realize that direct, nonstop flights tend to be the most costly. Discounts are to be had when you fly in the early morning or late at night and are willing to endure a layover. Booking round-trip tickets tends to be less expensive than one-way tickets, as is flying in and out of the

same airport as opposed to using a different airport on the return trip.

Booking trips well in advance enables consumers to shop around for affordable flights, but many times deals can be had when shoppers wait until the last minute and take advantage of airline and discount travel sites offering last-minute deals. Seats on half-empty flights may be offered at a discount. You may even be able to contact an airline and negotiate the cost of a flight.

Package Deals Travel sites and independent travel agents often give you better prices when you package items together. Therefore, if you stay at a particular hotel, book with a certain airline and add a rental car in the same transaction, the cost may be far less than purchasing these components separately.

Think Outside the Hotel Hotels are not the only places to stay while on vacation. Many times private house or condo

rentals cost considerably less money than per-night stays at hotels. There are Web sites that cater to rentals-by-owner that can be searched and booked.

Staying in a private rental often gives you more space to spread out and may even provide access to a full-service kitchen. This can help you to conserve funds by letting you prepare some or all of your meals, rather than eating out.

Discount hostels and individuals who open up their homes to travelers can be other avenues of investigation for less-expensive accommodations.

If you prefer a hotel to earn vacation points or rewards, consider staying a town over. Hotels in tourist destinations request top dollar, but staying a few miles out of town can help you save a bundle.

Pay in Full Pay in Advance Purchasing amusement park, theater or special event tickets in advance is typically less expensive than paying the “at the door” price. Research all of the places

you plan to visit while on your trip and book these adventures in advance. Not only will it save you the hassle of making arrangements while on vacation, but also you can save a few dollars along the way.

Some hotels offer similar discounts. If you book a non-refundable stay and pay in full, you may earn a rate that is lower than the standard room price.

Be Flexible Rigid travel dates and plans will not leave wiggle room for negotiation. High-demand dates tend to cost the most. Flying out a day Fredrick Warren County date Report can before or and after a peak 5x5 ad reduce airline rates considerably.

The business of time

Read this issue FREE on www.FrederickCounty.com “Pretty much every old clock I’ve taken in, it’s been handed down through several generations and they want to maintain it, keep it in good condition and always have plans to pass it on down to their kids or grandkids. They are something you just can’t get rid of.” – Charlie Plauger

At Pinoccio’s it’s a matter of time and tradition As long as we measure time, it seems there will be a place for clock repair

Charlie plays Geppetto – bringing another clock back to life

By Roger Bianchini Frederick County Report For some reason, time – how we measure and perceive it – has been on my mind this year. And one of my earliest memories of how we define life were television replays of the 1940 Disney film version of “Pinoccio”, the story of the carved, wooden boy brought to life by Geppetto the Italian clockmaker.

So, what better way to delve into those post near-death experience, intellectual interests than a business feature on Pinoccio’s clock repair shop and its proprietor and clocksmith, Charlie Plauger? In fact, this

was supposed to be a NEW business feature I was moving toward last year before my own flirtation with the other side of time and space, six months ago. So we can hardly call this a new business feature, I lamented to Charlie, apologizing for the delay. – Heck of a way to start a story on keeping time, I thought to myself.

Charlie opened Pinoccio’s on Fourth Street between North Royal and Virginia Avenue in Front Royal in March 2012 after purchasing the business from Gary Williams.

“I apprenticed with Gary, the previous owner, and I have always had an interest in clocks. Gary approached us about buying the busi-

Charlie and wife Cindy – Pinoccio’s is a family affair ness and everything else fell into place,” Charlie told us.

“I knew him and my wife knew him, and it was time for me to make a career change. I had been working in retail and I’d had back surgery.

I just needed a change to get into something lighter duty. I started working with him on weekends and days off,” Charlie said of his segue from heavy-duty retail to clock-

smithing.

Charlie says the work came natural to him.

“It looks complicated but it’s really not that hard. They’re all put together pretty similar. There are little differences but once you know the basics you know what to look for.

But like everything else, you learn something new every day.”

The opportunity to purchase the

business and continue what Williams had established came after about eight months at Pinoccio’s with Williams.

“His wife had a job change and they were going to move. He was very concerned and didn’t want to just close the business. He wanted someone to take over and there I was.”

As for the shop’s name, it was already in place from Williams’ ownership and Charlie agrees it would be hard to improve on in this line of work – unless you called it “Geppetto’s” I suggested.

“It was an established business that had a good reputation. So, we wanted to keep everything as familiar to the customer as possible. And he still helps me out,” Charlie says of his mentor (Gary, not Geppetto). “I’ll give him a call, send him pictures, so, we’ve maintained contact and a real continuity here.”

Foremost in that continuity are service and customer satisfaction.

“Our business is based on quality work, guaranteed,” Charlie says.

He points out that house calls are available for larger clocks; in fact, he closes one day a week (Friday) to accommodate house calls. He is also an authorized service center for

In fact, the characteristic “tick-tock” associated with time keeping is a function of a clock’s mechanical inner workings. Despite our move into the electronic age “whirrrr,” “hmmm” and “bzzzzz” have yet to replace “tick-tock” as the most recognizable sound reference to the keeping of time.

We asked about the distinctive sound of clocks.

“A lot of the older clocks, grandfather clocks, they have much better sound because they have longer chime rods than the newer clocks,” Charlie began as on cue the clocks on his wall began chiming the hour (really, it’s on my interview tape).

“You can see a difference in the newer clocks – you can tell they are made much cheaper; you don’t get the quality.”

Surprisingly to us, Charlie said that some electronic clocks are made to chime in the fashion of older, mechanical clocks. “I have worked on quite a few of those. But most of these are mechanical,” he said gesturing to the clocks chiming the hour of four from his wall.

However, we quickly learned that Pinoccio’s business does, indeed,

The business of time include electronic clocks. As we awaited our interview, Charlie was checking in a surprisingly attractive – at least to me – bedside table-sized electronic clock.

So, does he get many electronic clocks to repair, we asked.

“Yes, usually old electrical mantle or alarm clocks that have sentimental value are worth repairing,” he replied. “With the electric clocks it’s the motor that wears out and those can be replaced – usually it’s a pretty easy fix.”

As for their older, mechanical brethren, Charlie says, “If it’s something involving the chimes where you get a lot of wear, that’s where you run into trouble where you can’t fix them; because if it’s an older clock, you can’t find parts and sometimes the wear is too bad to fix.”

A sense of personal history Perhaps surprisingly of general repair work, Charlie says, “The older mechanical clocks are much easier to work on; they’re much simpler.

With your electrical clock, a lot of times they can’t be fixed. It’s more of a buy one and when it stops throw it

How to invest in gold and silver Gold, silver and other precious metals have been used as currency throughout history. Paper money is a relatively recent method of payment, one that requires a certain level of faith among consumers. But that faith in paper currency has waned in recent years, and there are many people who are once again investing in gold and silver.

Gold and silver still have a position of great financial importance in today’s market. With the value of a dollar fluctuating, precious metals may make a more stable investment. But investors who plan to investigate gold and silver should consider a few things before making their decision.

•Look into bullion. Gold and silver bullion are made from 99 percent of the total metal. This helps stabilize the cost and is not dependent on some of the fees or price fluctuations resulting from coins issued by various government institutions. Keep in mind that investing in bullion can be expensive and will require a high initial investment outlay. Also, you will have to find a secure method of storing and protecting the metal. Also, bullion can be more difficult to acquire than other forms of gold and silver, so it may require more leg work for investing.

•Purchase coins. One of the easiest and safest ways to invest in gold and silver is to buy coins. These will be minted from pure metals and are often issued through government-backed mints.

Although gold coins aren’t widely circulated, silver coins contain enough whole silver mixed with other alloys to make them valuable.

•Consider mutual funds. Rather than purchasing gold or silver outright, you can invest in mutual funds that then allocate a bulk of the fund’s investment into the purchase of gold or silver. This requires less knowledge of metal markets and also less work. However, it still enables you to invest in gold and silver.

•Sell scrap jewelry. While you may not get the full value of the jewelry, you can take advantage of the rising rates of gold and silver by selling off items you may not use. Selling extra jewelry requires little work on the part of the seller.

away and get a new one.

“But it depends on what’s wrong with the clock, sometimes you can fix them, sometimes you can’t,” Charlie says of any clock. “But it’s fun every day to come in and work on them. It’s a good feeling of accomplishment when you get them running and back home.

“Since being in this business I’ve noticed that for a lot of people clocks can be like part of their family.

They’ve been passed down through the generations and they mean a lot to family members. Pretty much every old clock I’ve taken in, it’s been handed down through several generations and they want to maintain it, keep it in good condition and always have plans to pass it on down to their kids or grandkids. They are something you just can’t get rid of.”

And speaking of grandkids and tradition, Charlie says his older ones, Madeline and Mason, enjoy coming to the shop. He pointed to some artwork helping decorate Pinoccio’s walls.

“Mason has mechanical tendencies. He likes to take things apart and see how they work. Maybe he’s part of the next generation of clockmakers,” Charlie says with a smile.

Medicare’s National Mail-Order Program for diabetic supplies As of July 2013, Medicare will have a National Mail-Order Program for diabetic testing supplies (like test strips and lancets). No matter where you live, you’ll need to use a Medicare national mail-order contract supplier for Medicare to pay for diabetic testing supplies that are delivered to your home. If you don’t want diabetic testing supplies delivered to your home, you can go to any local store (local pharmacy or storefront supplier) that’s enrolled with Medicare and buy them there.

This new program doesn’t require you to change your testing monitor.

If you’re happy with your current monitor, look for a mail-order contract supplier or local store that can provide the supplies you need.

Note: If you switch suppliers, you might need to get a new prescription for testing supplies or arrange to have your current prescription transferred. Plan ahead before you run out of supplies.

How much will I pay if I buy supplies at a store?

You’ll pay the same amount for diabetic testing supplies whether you buy them at the store or have them delivered to your home. National mail-order contract suppliers can’t charge you more than any unmet deductible and 20% coinsurance. Local stores also can’t charge more than

any unmet deductible and 20% coinsurance if they accept assignment.

Local stores that don’t accept Medicare assignment may charge you more than 20% coinsurance and any unmet deductible. If you get your supplies from a local store, check with the store to find out what your payment will be.

Find a National Mail-Order Program contract supplier.

Note: The National Mail-Order Program applies to Original Medicare only.

If you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) (like an HMO or PPO), your plan will let you know if your supplier is changing. If you’re not sure, contact your plan.

What if I need a specific item, brand, or supply?

If you need a specific item or brand of supply, or a specific form, your doctor must prescribe it in writing. Your doctor must also document in your medical record that you need this specific item or brand of supply for medical reasons. In these situations, a Medicare-contract supplier is required to: •Give you the exact brand or form of item you need. •Help you find another contract supplier that offers that brand or form. •Work with your doctor to find

. / )

!"# $ %$&' ( )*+ , - ()

another brand or form that’s safe

and effective for you.

Can my contract supplier switch me to a different brand?

No. Contract suppliers must give you the brand of testing supplies that works with your monitor. If the contract supplier doesn’t carry your brand of testing supplies, you can ask the contract supplier about other brands they offer. However, the supplier can’t start this conversation.

What if I have other insurance?

If your primary insurance policy requires you to use a supplier that doesn’t participate in the mail-order program, Medicare may make a secondary payment to that supplier. The supplier must meet Medicare enrollment standards and be eligible to get secondary payments. For more information, check with your insurer, plan provider, or benefits administrator What if suppliers call and ask me to switch suppliers?

Medicare has rules to protect you from unsolicited phone calls from suppliers. If you think you’ve been pressured to switch suppliers: Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-6334227).

Call the Fraud Hotline of the HHS Office of Inspector General at 1-800HHS-TIPS (1-800-447-8477).

What if people try to send me free supplies that I didn’t order?

Don’t accept items that you didn’t order. Refuse the delivery and/or return it to the sender. Keep a record of the sender’s name and the date

you returned the items.

Call the Fraud Hotline of the HHS Office of Inspector General at 1-800HHS-TIPS (1-800-447-8477).

Crocker’s sudden resignation sends shockwaves Wayside’s landscape continues shifting toward uncertain future

By Malcolm Barr Sr. and Roger Bianchini Frederick County Report

There was a major shakeup at the venerable Wayside Theatre in Middletown the final week of June when long-time Artistic Director Warner Crocker resigned and the hiring of Joyce Kernodle to take the newly-created position of marketing and sales coordinator was made public. No formal announcement of Kernodle’s appointment was made.

However, that appointment dates back several weeks, raising questions about the precise circumstances surrounding Crocker’s resignation.

That resignation came unexpectedly on Friday, June 28, just three days after a Wayside Board of Di-

rectors meeting. Crocker explained that while his resignation as artistic director was effective immediately, he will remain in the role of “guest director” of the theater’s second offering of its 51st season, the comedy “Boeing, Boeing,” through the show’s formal opening Sunday, July 14.

Meeting across the street at The Irish Isle following the last performance of “Church Basement Ladies” on Sunday, June 30, Crocker told us, “I have thoroughly enjoyed the 15 seasons I’ve had the privilege to be artistic director of Wayside Theatre.

Through those 15 seasons I had the opportunity to work with some truly amazing artists who have helped create some magical memories for Wayside Theatre. And I’m grateful for the wonderful audiences and

wonderful supporters I’ve gotten to know and we’ve gotten to share our work with.”

Crocker was the theater’s artistic director for 15 years - probably a record tenure. In the mid-2000s, he assumed the dual role of artistic director and general manager as the then Wayside Board of Directors began reacting to a continuing financial pinch.

That “pinch” ultimately led to the edge of a financial cliff and two consecutive years of emergency fundraising drives to keep the theater going.

The most recent “donate or lose it” drive led new Wayside Board President Dr. Byron Brill to make a public appeal for at least $90,000 in donations to support the theater’s current season.

While this 51st season has kicked off with two comedies, Wayside’s tumultuous and evolving effort to survive into its second half century appears to be no laughing matter as the current board continues to wrestle with long-term financial problems.

As this story was written Kernodle was still not listed among staff on Wayside Theatre’s website.

However, in an e-mail the weekend of June 22, it was Kernodle inviting former board members to the opening of “Boeing Boeing” on Saturday evening, July 13. While that performance was initially termed the opening, following a query to Kernodle and the box office, a subsequent message noted the official opening night was, as it has been for

the past dozen years, on a Sunday, in this case July 14, Crocker’s final day as the theater’s guest director.

We were initially unable to reach board Chairman Brill by phone for comment on either Crocker’s resignation or Kernodle’s appointment.

We later learned that as the news of Crocker’s departure became public, the chairman of the Wayside board was away on vacation. However, Crocker confirmed his resignation to us with no detail other than the above-listed effective dates of his de-

parture as artistic director (June 28) and guest director (July 14) getting “Boeing, Boeing” off the ground as it were.

In a July 1 phone interview from his vacation spot in the Carolinas, Brill confirmed the resignation of the Wayside’s sixth director in its 51year history.

“We value Warner’s 15 years of being here. We don’t take his departure lightly. He has been a man of some great and many neat and clever ideas and we appreciate what he has

done,� Brill said. He also confirmed Crocker’s final two weeks would be as “guest director� culminating in the official opening night of “Boeing Boeing� on Sunday, July 14, at 6:30 p.m.

Brill said the theater “will work with guest directors for the next few months� while a search is launched for a fulltime artistic director to succeed Crocker.

Meanwhile, Kernodle will handle bus tours and marketing, Brill said, indicating her responsibilities would

be expanded upon in the future. He announced an innovation that would allow the box office to be “open 24 hours a day� for online ticket sales.

Generally, Brill looked positively and with enthusiasm to the regional, professional theater’s future. (Managing editor’s note: Malcolm Barr, Sr. served on Wayside’s Board of Directors from 2004-2009).

House Cleaning Councilor Tripp Chewning

By Sue Golden Frederick County Report Two members of the Middletown town council resigned in recent days. Councilor Tripp Chewning, the head of the personnel and finance committee resigned for health reasons.

Councilor Donna M.G. Gray, the head of the ordinance committee, resigned without providing a reason.

or Mark Brown and Councilors Gil Barrington and John Blaisdell resigned en mass. He took up the mantle of the personnel and finance committee chairman when Councilor Carl Bernhards resigned for personal reasons.

“I think the world of Tripp” said Mayor Charles H. Harbaugh IV. “He was an extremely capable chairman of the personnel and finance committee. Under Tripp’s leadership, the town was in the black $185,000 last year.”

Councilor Gray was the longest serving member of the current council. “Donna and I joined the council together in 2010. She is

one of the reasons the council was able to get so much done in the last few years, especially the budget” Mayor Harbaugh said.

“These are not life time jobs” according to Mayor Harbaugh.

“Sometimes your life changes and you need to move on.”

Applications for the two vacant seats on the council and for two vacant seats on the planning commission can be picked up at the town hall. The deadline to apply is August 1st. At press time, no one had applied for any of the vacant positions. Both council positions are expected to be filled at the August council

Freshen up warm-weather cuisine When the weather is warm, many people are inspired to expand their culinary horizons and look for foods that are light, fresh and satisfying.

Although warm-weather cooking may call to mind backyard barbecues, there is much more to seasonal dining than charbroiled frankfurters and beef patties. Taking a fresh ap-

proach to cooking can yield a number of new and innovative meals.

side dishes for most of the year, they tend to take center stage when the weather is warm.

The addition of fresh berries, grapes or raisins can lend a different flavor to salads. Think about topping salads with grilled fish or chicken to add more substance to salads serving as entire meals.

Rather than using heavy dressings that may end up covering the delicate flavors of lettuce leaves and other greens, use vinaigrettes made from citrus fruits to add both sweetness and tartness to dishes.

Cool down When the temperature is high, few people want to fill their stomachs with heavy, hot foods. Instead of cooking up a batch of stew, reinvent recipes for a warm-weather spin. For example, experiment with chilled soups. Borscht is a beet-based soup of Eastern European origin that is very often served cold. Other vegetables or fruits can be pureed and served as a cold summer soup. Gazpacho, a Spanish tomato-based soup, is the most widely known cold soup.

However, cucumber- and avocadobased soups and creamed vegetable soups also can be enjoyed chilled.

Savory sandwiches Who says sandwiches are only for lunch? When the weather is warm and families are busy hurrying here and there, sandwiches make for fast and portable meals.

grilled mushrooms can make hearty, satisfying sandwiches that are relatively low in calories. Previously grilled chicken can be shredded and turned into chicken salad when mixed with Greek yogurt and apple cider vinegar. Even standard cold cuts can be given a new twist when turned into cold-style reubens by being topped with cole-slaw or chilled sauerkraut on gourmet slices of herbed bread.

Pastas and casseroles Much as warm-weather soups can be served cool, so can pastas and casseroles. Pasta is a versatile food that can be paired with traditional salad ingredients or mixed with vegetables or dressings to make a variety of different dishes.

Baked casseroles can be served at room temperature for pot-luck meals in the yard or brought along when visiting friends and family. Chunks of mushrooms, summer squash, eggplant and garlic can be sauteed and baked together to make a hearty and flavorful vegetable casserole.

Seafood Lobster, shrimp and clams can be harvested from the coast and then cooked on the grill or over an open fire. For those who want chilled seafood, opt for shrimp cocktail or head out for a sushi and sashimi meal at a local restaurant.

Warm-weather dining means exploring different flavor options to find lighter fare.

Drivers in Virginia should be aware of some new laws that go into effect July 1. There will be tougher laws on distracted driving, drinking and driving, and new requirements for moped drivers.

Distracted Driving Effective July 1, texting while driving will be a primary offense meaning an officer can stop someone if they see them texting while driving. Fines for texting while driving are increasing to $125 for the first offense and $250 for the second or subsequent offense.

Drinking and Driving Beginning July 1, any driving while intoxicated (DWI) conviction will be a felony if the person charged has one of the following prior convictions: • Involuntary manslaughter alcohol • Involuntary manslaughter alcohol boating • DWI maiming • Boating while intoxicated maiming • DWI third offense or subsequent Mopeds As of July 1, moped drivers must carry a government-issued photo ID. All moped drivers and passengers must wear a helmet while riding a moped. Drivers will also be required to wear a face shield. If the moped doesn’t have a windshield, drivers must wear a face shield and safety glasses or goggles. Virginia law also requires mopeds be titled and registered by July 1, 2014. On July 1, 2013 the Department of Motor Vehicles will begin titling and registering mopeds. The titles are $10 and the annual registration fee is $20.25. These new requirements will allow law enforcement to better track mopeds that are stolen and/or used in commission of a crime.

The Winchester Police Department wants to educate the public on these new laws that take effect on Monday. It is our hope that these laws will help to make our roads in the Commonwealth safer.

Handley Regional Library Board selects new director Handley Regional Library Board Chair Cary Brubaker is pleased to announce today that the library board has hired John Huddy, currently the branch manager of the Gum Spring Library in Loudoun County, Virginia, to be the next director of the Handley Regional Library.

Huddy grew up in Fairfax County, Virginia, has a B.A. from Bowling Street State University (Ohio) and a M.L.S. from Catholic University (Washington, D.C.). He worked six years at MITRE Corporation, a not-for-profit organization chartered to work in the public interest located in McLean, Virginia. He has been with the Loudoun County library system the past eleven years and brings wide experience at every level of library operation to his new position. He will begin working at the Handley Regional Library on September 16, 2013, allowing two weeks of overlap between the new and the current library directors.

Trish Ridgeway, who has been the director of the library these past twenty years, is retiring October 1, 2013.

The search committee composed of Cary Brubaker, John Clawson, Bob Grogg, Judy Lloyd, N. Hartley Schearer Jr., Gene Schultz, and Ann White spent the last five months developing the job description, reviewing applications, conducting telephone interviews, checking references, and meeting with the finalists in face-to-face sessions and touring them to all three libraries in the HRL system. The committee and the entire board are pleased that a candidate has been hired who will maintain the excellence for which the entire system is known.

Contact Trish Ridgeway at tridgeway@handleyregional.org or by phone at 540 662-9041 x 14 for further information.

During the final weeks of 1799, a struggle for power was triggered by two factions. Alexander Hamilton led the Federalists, and his rival, Aaron Burr, supported the populist Republicans. As the two most prominent lawyers in New York, both realized that as the national election approached, Manhattan could be the swing district that determined the next president.

Their animosity was swept aside when the body of a young Quaker woman was found in a well owned

by Burr. In fact, they created a legal dream team to prevent a miscarriage of justice from occurring in America’s first sensational murder case.

Elma Sands was being courted by a handsome young carpenter named Levi Weeks. When Elma’s muff was found, it was a clue that led searchers to Burr’s well. Citizens were outraged by the brutal murder, and suspicion immediately focused on Weeks, who was charged and jailed. Weeks’ brother, an influential architect, possessed the financial resources to hire a legal dream team, Hamilton and Burr.

The two lawyers were convinced that Weeks was innocent. They put aside their differences to defend the young man and prevent a conviction fueled by public anger. The real danger was that Weeks might be lynched before a trial could even be scheduled. Levi was eventually acquitted, but murder was never solved.

This is more than an account of an old case, it is an absorbing legal thriller. Collins not only writes about the crime but also makes the first break in the case in more than 200 years as he reveals the name of the likely killer. This is a cold case that has suddenly become quite hot. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
