By Sue GoldenFrederick County Report

Councilor Trip Chewning was up-beat when discussing the Treasurer’s Report at the last Middletown town council meeting. He said the town had an “interesting couple of first months of the year.” Middletown has a net loss of $79,286. Councilor Chewning remained positive in spite of the loss, since there were several large, one time payments made, in-cluding payments for the Virginia Municipal League insurance, two bond payments, and a large expen-diture for pvc pipe. The town still has over $900,000 remaining in its bank accounts and in certificates of deposit. That money can be used to make up the difference in any short fall. As Councilor Chewning con-cluded his report, he was optimistic, noting “hopefully, things will start

looking up.” Optimism aside, Middletown has a real, and significant problem: its budget is “unsustainable” according to the Virginia Resource Authority, the same entity that loaned Middle-town money to put in the problem-atic sewage treatment plant. Accord-ing to the VRA, Middletown must cut spending, raise more money, or both. Another option discussed periodically is folding Middletown back into Frederick County. The problem with the County option, if the County agreed to take Middle-town back, is that the loan for the sewage treatment plant must be re-paid by Middletown. The current council made some very difficult choices during the last budget negotiations. The position of town manager was eliminated. Bud-gets were scrutinized to find every savings possible. Department heads

were quizzed on their requests for funds. Employees received pay in-creases, but not without a fight. However, town expenses are not static. The aging infrastructure of the town, from water lines to repairs to town hall, continue to bedevil any at-tempt to get spending under control. The sewage treatment plant contin-ues to thwart the best attempts to make the plant work according to plans. All of the departments appear to be over budget. Income for the town also is debat-able. Whether the town water ex-pense is “revenue neutral” is contin-uously debated. The sewage system certainly does not pay for itself. The grand hope of the Dollar General

store saving the day is only a “hope”; the Dollar General paid for a $30 business license this year, like every other business in town. Next year the business fee will be based on a percentage of this year’s revenue, so keep on shopping. One of the two new stores to open in town already closed. The meals and lodging tax is good income, but only if there are meals and lodging to tax. In a series of upcoming articles, this reporter will attempt to inves-tigate the various options open to the town. Is the answer “roof tops,” new businesses, cutting the budget further, or raising taxes and fees? Most likely, it will be a combination thereof. But decisions for the town

should not be made in a vacuum, and some of the answers are surpris-ing. In the meantime, citizens need to understand that the budget is un-sustainable as is, and stay involved as the council is faced with very tough decisions.

Sports

By David Newlin for JWAA

Five athletes and a former coach will be inducted into the 13th annual James Wood High School Athletic Hall of Fame on Friday, September 21, 2012. Ceremonies begin with a reception at 5 p.m., followed by the 5:45 induction ceremony in the James Wood Ridge Campus gym-nasium. The inductees also will be recognized at halftime of the football game between JW and Skyline High Schools. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. at the Colonels’ stadium.

Sterling N. Shockley, class of 1960, is being inducted for his excellence in football, basketball and baseball. A versatile athlete who competed

in three sports all four years of high school, he earned four letters in foot-ball. On offense, he played halfback and guard positions and on defense he was a linebacker. He also returned punts and kickoffs.

In basketball, he was the point guard on the 1957-58 district cham-pionship team. Shockley says base-ball was his best sport. He was the catcher and captain of the 1959 team, and also played third base when he wasn’t catching. He earned two let-ters and received the James Wood Touchdown Club (former name of the JWAA) Award in 1959 and 1960 for baseball. His batting average his senior year was around .340.

David Ganse, class of 1972, is being

honored for his high school prow-ess in football, wrestling and track. Ganse, whose older brothers Bob and Don also were well-known athletes at JW, advanced to the varsity level his sophomore year and earned letters in all three sports for three years. Ganse played defensive cornerback on the Colonels’ Commonwealth District Championship and State Champion-ship football team in 1970 and had an important pass interception in the state title game.

In track, he was a sprinter, jumper and hurdler and still ranks among the top 20 fastest runners in the 100 yard/meter dash. He received the

JWAA Track and Field Award his se-nior year and was awarded the Jerry Hannas Scholarship.

Kevin Crosen, class of 1977, also was a three-sport standout for the Colonels and is being inducted for his excellence in football, basketball and track. In football, he was the Colo-nels’ starting quarterback for three years and played defensive safety and

was on the kick-off, kick-return and punt-return teams. He was named All-Region Honorable Mention his junior year in football and went on to play defensive safety his freshman year at James Madison University. At JMU, he also played on the club rac-quetball team and competed in the Collegiate National Tournament in doubles his senior year.

Detailing

In basketball at JW, Crosen was a point guard and led the team in as-sists (70) and free throw shooting (75.5 percent) his senior year. He received the Defensive Player of the Year Award, the Jerry Hannas Schol-arship, and a JWAA scholarship his senior season.

In track and field, Crosen is remem-

bered for his speed and jumping abil-ity. He set records in the triple jump and long jump and was a key leg of the 880 relay team. Adjoa Taylor, class of 1995, came to JW as a junior from Jamaica in 1993. One of the top female runners in James Wood track history, she lettered in cross country and track both her junior and senior

years. She won the 1995 AA State Champi-

onship in the 800 meters and finished second in the state in the 400 meters. She won Northwestern District titles in the 400 meter event in 1994 and ’95 and the 800 meter district title in ’95. She also won the Region II 800 meter title her senior year.

Taylor still holds the JW girls school record in the 800 meters (2:16.6) and is tied for the record in the 200 meters (:26.6). She is second among the all-time 400 meter leaders (:58.2). She also is tied for first in the 3200 meter relay (10:13.5). She was captain of the JW cross country and track teams her senior year and re-

ceived the JWAA Outstanding Track Award.

After high school, she ran track and cross country at Christopher New-port University for one year where she was named the Most Outstand-ing Track Athlete, NCAA Division 3 All-American in the 400 meter relay, and she helped lead her team to a


fourth place finish in the NCAA fi-nals.

Also at Christopher Newport, she was named All DIAC Conference in cross country and was named the Mason Dixon Conference MVP in indoor track and selected to the All Mason Dixon Conference team in outdoor track.

After one year at Christopher New-port, she transferred to Duquesne University where she ran the 300 me-ter, 500 meter and 800 meter events. She won medals in three Atlantic 10 Conference championship races and was listed on the Atlantic 10 Commissioner’s Honor Roll in 1999-2000.

Michael Crawford, class of 1997, still fills the record books in basket-ball and baseball at James Wood and is considered by many to be one of the best athletes ever to play at the school.

Crawford is the Colonels all-time basketball leading scorer, former State Player of the Year, Regional Player of the Year, and two-time re-cipient of the Winchester Star Player of the Year Award. He was First Team All State two seasons, three-time All Regional player, and a four-time All District selection.

He scored 2,232 career points at JW between 1994-97, including a 44 point performance in a single game. He holds the top season average scoring record of 29.5 points his se-nior year and averaged 28.8 PPG his junior season, 24.2 as a sophomore, and 19.9 as a freshman playing at the varsity level. He received the JWAA Basketball Award each of his four years of high school.

In baseball, he was equally out-standing and still holds JW records for most runs scored (69), most doubles (15), most stolen bases (58), and most walks (42). In the record books, he is also still listed among the top 10 performers in five other

categories including batting average, RBI’s, hits, home runs and triples. His senior year, he also received the JWAA Baseball award, the John Moser Award and the Jerry Hannas Scholarship.

After high school, Crawford re-ceived a full athletic scholarship in basketball to Rider University where he scored over 1,000 points and amassed more than 400 assists. He was a two-time basketball team cap-tain at Rider and helped his team ad-vance to the post season NIT where they lost to Penn State. He also was a member of the MAAC All-Star Team that played against the Japanese Na-tional team and competed in six ma-jor Japanese cities as well as in Eng-

land and Italy against professional club teams.

Dave McGuigan is being inducted for his excellence and success as the 12-year head coach of the James Wood girls volleyball team. From 1987-99, his teams posted a 169-69 record (71%). His coaching highlights include two state semi-final finishes, the Virginia AA State Sportsmanship Award in 1998, four Region II ap-pearances, with two runner-up fin-ishes, and two Northwestern District undefeated regular seasons (1997 and ‘98).

His teams won three district regu-lar season championships and two Northwestern District Tournament titles. They also won Apple Capital Tournament titles in 1988, ’89, and ’90.

McGuigan was named District Coach of the Year twice, in 1997 and ’98 and Region II Coach of the Year in ’97. Among the athletes he coached, many received accolades throughout the region and state. He coached 12 first-team All District players, four All-District Players of the Year, and four first-team All Region selections. He also placed four players on Vir-ginia State All-Star teams.

What to do when seeking a hunting license

The requirements to secure a hunting license vary depending on where a hunter lives. Different states, counties and even countries have their own rules, and hunters must adhere to these specific rules in order to secure their licenses in time for hunting season.

As different as rules can be from state to state, there are certain ways hunters can make the licensing process go more smoothly regardless of where they live.

Determine which type of hunting you will be doing. Before applying for a license, determine where you will be hunting and which species of animals you hope to hunt. Different animals typically require different permits, so hunters can do themselves a favor and expedite the process by pinpointing the animals they hope to hunt before applying.

Determine how licenses are issued. Depending on where you live, your state or municipality might have a Web site detailing each step of the li-censing process. If not, visit a nearby sporting goods or outdoor shop and ask a member of the shop’s staff if they can help with the process. An out-door shop is often a great source of information and is likely to make the process much easier to understand.

Determine if you’re eligible for any discounts. Some hunters are eligi-ble for discounts, while others might be charged more. Many states of-fer discounted rates to their own residents and might even extend those discounts to seniors, youths and military personnel. However, many states charge out-of-state hunters more. Do some research ahead of time to de-termine your eligibility for discounts or if your status will garner more fees.

Buy only what you need. Hunters who can only get out to hunt for one day should only seek a one-day license. Such licenses are less expensive and available for many different types of hunting.

By Jonathan LucciFrederick County Report

To say the race for the race for the White House has changed in the past month would be an understate-ment, to say the least. Since our last update on the 2012 presidential election, both campaigns launched their conventions in very different circumstances and had very differ-ent results. Stories of campaign in-fighting have competed with endless waves of television ads, and every-day a slew of new polls offer differing pictures of the national popular vote and the battleground states that will decide this year’s election. After the busiest and most important month so far in the election cycle, the race is still very much competitive and in play, but one would have to be a particularly blind partisan to see anything other than an advantage for President Obama and the Demo-crats with six weeks of campaigning left.

The ominous signs for Republicans began when a hurricane cut their convention from four days to three. However, a successful speech by Ann Romney on the opening night of the convention did buoy Republi-can hopes at first. After the brutal attacks on her husband’s charac-ter over the summer, her remarks painted a different picture of a caring family man. Indeed the Republican convention itself went fairly well, as

Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan thrilled conservatives with a speech full of the budget policy that has made him a star and Mitt Rom-ney gave a solid, if not spectacular speech about his economic vision. But distractions, most notably Clint Eastwood’s bizarre “debate” with an empty chair representing President Obama largely drowned out the ef-fective messaging of the GOP con-vention. Perhaps most telling, many political commentators noted how few of the Republican delegates re-ally seemed to like their own Presi-dential candidate. Many seemed motivated solely with unseating a President they deeply dislike.

The Democrats, almost without ar-gument presented a much better pic-ture the following week at their con-vention. Part of this was the natural order of going second, and part of it was the obvious enthusiasm shown by delegates for the President. The first night saw Michelle Obama give

a stirring address, and the second treated the viewing public to a re-minder of why Bill Clinton is a politi-cian even his rival’s respect. Strange-ly, it was this President so noted for his oratorical abilities who seemed to intentionally offer a rather sub-dued, measured acceptance speech. Perhaps it was good for him that he did so, because after only 24 hours of celebrating a successful convention the Democrats were reminded of the dismal economic realities they face by a month jobs report that showed fewer jobs were created in August than economists had expected.

Yet it has been the last week that has turned this race considerably in President Obama’s direction. While the polls registered a surprisingly large bounce for Obama after the convention, that bounce has faded from many national polls as vot-ers return to their partisan divide. However, a videotape of Governor Mitt Romney at a private fundraiser from the spring was released this week that has caused a firestorm. In the video, Romney points out that 47 percent of Americans pay no in-come tax and seems to indicate that these people are both dependent on government and unlikely to vote for him in November. While many con-servative Republicans want to see Romney fully embrace these com-ments, other in the party have open-ly distanced themselves from their Presidential candidate. It reveals a serious divide within the Republican Party between moderates and the conservative wing represented by the Tea Party. This divide, regardless of which side is correct on policy, is

showing itself most clearly just as the Democratic Party is achieving an enthusiasm and unity many in both parties thought they never would in this election cycle.

While many national polls show the race tight, a long series of polls in battleground states are showing President Obama with small but significant leads and with the clock ticking toward November 6th, time is not Governor Romney’s side. The debates remain in October, three events that will put President Obama and Governor Romney on stage together in front of a huge na-tional audience. Their importance can, perhaps, not be overstated. Yet right now, on the eve of those de-bates and with so little time remain-ing most objective observers admit that President Barack Obama is well-positioned the claim victory in November.

As it has all year long, Virginia stands at the center of the electoral calculus for both sides. Unprec-edented amounts of money have been spent on advertising for both campaigns and their ground games are already moving into action for the home-stretch. Polls show Presi-dent Obama with leads of varying amounts, but all in the single digits. It is not a matter debated by either side: if Governor Romney has any hope of winning, he must turn Vir-ginia back into a red state. Right

now, he is behind in that effort and the clock is ticking.

Put pumpkins to use in many different ways

Autumn is the season when pumpkins are ripe for the picking, and thousands of people flock to local farms and roadside vendors to select perfect pumpkins. Many

pumpkins are turned into decora-tive jack-o’-lanterns for Hallow-een, only to be tossed in the trash come November 1. That could be because many people are unaware

of the various ways they can put pumpkins to good use.

Pumpkins are gourds and mem-bers of the squash family and have been grown and used for thou-sands of years. Evidence suggests that pumpkins date back to 7000 B.C., possibly originating in Mex-ico. Today they are widely used for decorating around Halloween, but there are many other things that can be done with pumpkins.

Create a food vessel. Pumpkins can be transformed into bowls to hold soup, punch, fruit, or even dips. Make sure the pumpkin has

been cleaned well of its pulp and seeds, as well as the stringy flesh that is inside. Rub the inside walls of the pumpkin with oil to keep them from drying out and cav-ing in, then fill with your food of choice.

Make pumpkin puree. Puree from a pumpkin can be used in all types of recipes, from soups to baked goods. The puree also can replace the oil in cake reci-pes. Cut the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and stringy mem-branes. Then place it cut-side-down in a pan with a little water

in the bottom. Bake at 350 F for around 90 minutes. The flesh will become tender and easily remov-able. Blend the resulting puree in a food processor and reserve flesh for recipes. Some pumpkins are sweeter or better to use as part of

Pumpkins are staples of autumn decorating. But there are more uses for these orange gourds than just carving them into Jack-O-Lanterns.

Fire Prevention Week Activity at the

Smithsonian Institute

During this year’s Fire Preven-tion Week, October 7th through the 13th, the Frederick County Fire and Rescue Department is teaming up again with the Smith-sonian Instistute, the District of Columbia’s Fire and EMS, and the United States Fire adminis-tration to present the 4th An-nual Community Fire Prevention Day. The event takes place on the grounds of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. This year’s event takes place on Wednesday, October 10, 2012, beginning at 10 am.

This year’s theme is Have 2 Ways Out and we are focusing on home escape plans. Only one-third of Americans have both developed and practiced a home fire escape plan. And of the remaining three-quarters who do have an escape plan, less than half have actually practiced it. During the event there will be hands-on demonstrations in fire extinguisher training, E.D.I.T.H. (Exit Drills In The Home), basic fire prevention techniques as well as displays of the Frederick County Fire and Rescue Pub-lic Education Trailer, District of Columbia fire apparatus and an informational displays from all agencies.

Whip up a facial. Use some pumpkin puree with a little brown sugar and a dash of milk to create a vitamin-rich facial mask.

Get illuminated. Turn hol-lowed-out mini pumpkins into candles. Melt soy wax, beeswax or the gel type of candle wax that can be found at most craft stores. Add your favorite scent and place a wick into the bottom of the pumpkin. Then pour the wax into hallowed-out space and allow it to harden. Try the same thing with bumpy and multi-colored gourds for added decorating appeal.

Turn the pumpkin into a flower pot. Fill a hollow pumpkin with

soil. You may not have to worry about scraping the pumpkin com-pletely clean because the pulp can be used to help fertilize the potting soil. Plant your favorite fall flowers into the festive and earth-friendly flower pot. When the pumpkin shows signs of rotting, simply put the whole thing into a traditional flower pot or bury it directly in the ground.

Make pumpkin stock. While vegetable or meat-based stocks may be the standards, pump-kin can be used to make stock as well. Clean out the seeds from the stringy guts of the pumpkin and put the guts into a pot filled with water. Add celery, carrots or any other aromatic vegetables for extra

flavor. Allow to boil for at least 30 minutes. The stock is ready when it begins to change color. Strain and reserve the stock for use in a variety of recipes.

Add to compost bins. Pumpkins are rich in zinc, vitamin A and vi-tamin C, among other nutrients. You can add the discarded pump-kins to your backyard compost bins to further replenish the soil.

Turn into a billowing cauldron. Instead of a standard jack-o’-lan-tern, put a glass jar into the carved pumpkin, add dish soap and hot water to the jar and then put in a piece of dry ice. Bubbles and smoke will pour out of the pump-kin to create a spooktacular effect.

Old Town Business Association announces “Stop, Shop, & Give” event to demonstrate community support for

Old Court House Museum, Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum, and Handley Regional Library

“Stop, drop and roll” is being replaced by Stop, Shop and Give this month, and thankfully, no fire safety drills will be needed. For the first time ever, the Old Town Business Association is sponsor-ing an event for participating merchants to donate 5% of sales on Saturday, September 29 to the Old Court House Civil War Muse-um, Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum, and Handley Regional Library. These three non-profits in Old Town Winchester will be recipients of monies donated by local merchants, dividing the pro-ceeds equally.

Library Director Trish Ridgeway observed that “this is the first time something like this has been undertaken in Old Town Win-chester and it is a great way for shoppers and merchants to come together to support our community.” In appreciation for this con-sideration, Aimee Gangai from Handley Regional Library Youth Services Division will offer two interactive storytimes for children with the theme “a few of my favorite things.” The first story unfolds in front of the Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum at 12:30 p.m., and another tale will be told on the steps of the Old Court House Civil War Museum at 1:00 p.m.

Supporters of Handley Regional Library, the Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum, and the Old Court House Civil War Museum are encouraged to browse Old Town Winchester for a few of their favorite things! The Handley Library Shop will be open to the pub-lic during the event for purchases of books, note cards, commemo-rative pins and a host of truly interesting items, as well.

For more information about this special event, contact Trish Ridgeway at 540 662-9041 ext 14, or by email at [email protected].

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you love being the focus of attention, it’s a good idea to take a few steps back right now to just watch the action. What you see can help with an upcoming decision.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) “Caution” continues to be your watch-word this week, as a former colleague tries to reconnect old links. There are still some dark places that need to be illuminated.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Making a good first impression is important. Revealing your often hid-den sense of humor can help you get through some of the more awkward situations.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Tak-ing that Cancer Crab image too seri-ously? Lighten up. Instead of com-plaining about your problems, start resolving them. A friend would be happy to help.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A wid-ening distance between you and that special person needs to be handled with honesty and sensitivity. Don’t let jealousy create an even greater gap between you two.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. Your handling of a delicate family matter rates kudos. But no resting on your laurels just yet. You still have to resolve that on-the-

job problem.LIBRA (September 23 to October

22) You might surprise everyone by being unusually impulsive this week. But even level-headed Libras need to do the unexpected now and then.

SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-ber 21) A period of turmoil gives way to a calmer, more settled environ-ment. Use this quieter time to patch up neglected personal and/or professional relationships.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A new relationship could create resentment among family and friends who feel left out of your life. Show them you care by making more time for them.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Concentrate on complet-ing all your unfinished tasks before deadline. You’ll then be able to use this freed-up time to research new career opportunities.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Feb-ruary 18) You’re right to try to help colleagues resolve their heated differ-ences. But keep your objectivity and avoid showing any favoritism ‘twixt the two sides.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your personal life continues to show positive changes. Enjoy this happy turn of events, by all means. But be careful not to neglect your workplace obligations.

BORN THIS WEEK: People of all ages look to you for advice and encouragement. You would make an excellent counselor.

• On Oct. 13, 1775, the Continen-tal Congress authorizes construc-tion and administration of the first American naval force. Esek Hopkins was appointed the first commander-in-chief of the Continental Navy. His first fleet consisted of seven ships: two 24-gun frigates, two 14-gun brigs and three schooners.

• On Oct. 12, 1786, a lovesick Thom-as Jefferson composes the first of many romantic letters to a married woman named Maria Cosway. In 1789, his let-ters grew less frequent. She continued to write to him and vented her frustra-tion at his growing aloofness. After her husband died, Cosway moved to a vil-lage in Italy to open a convent school for girls.

Shenandoah University Ranked In U.S. News & World Report’s 2013 Edition of Best Colleges

Winchester, Va. (Sept. 12, 2012) – Shenandoah University is ranked 28th among 128 regional universities in the South, according to U.S. News & World Report’s list of Best Colleges for 2013. Shenandoah was ranked 27th in this category last year; however, the university’s overall score remained unchanged at 58.

The exclusive rankings, which include evaluation of more than 1,400 schools nationwide, were announced today and will also be published in the “Best Colleges” book, available on Tuesday, September 18.

This year, Shenandoah was able to improve its performance in several areas that factor into the rankings, such as the average freshman retention rate, percentage of faculty who are full time, and number of freshman in the top 25 percent of their high school class. In addition, a decrease in ac-ceptance rate from 81 percent to 77 percent reflects the university’s com-mitment to increasing selectivity based on academic performance.

“Shenandoah University is honored to be recognized as a standout insti-tution in the South region, and we are proud to part of this select group of schools from across the nation,” said President Tracy Fitzsimmons. “The university maintained its overall score and improved in many areas includ-ing our freshman retention rate. This is all because of the hard work of our campus community to make Shenandoah a place of choice for current and prospective students. Many thanks to our faculty, staff, students and graduates for their continual support and exemplary representation of our institution.”

A total of 625 universities are included in the regional universities seg-ment of U.S. News’ college rankings. Institutions in the category provide a full range of undergraduate and master’s programs, but few, if any, doc-toral programs. Schools in the regional section are ranked within four geographic areas – North, South, Midwest and West. The rankings for the colleges and universities in Shenandoah’s category are based on peer as-sessment, graduation and retention rates, class size, faculty resources, stu-dent selectivity and alumni giving.

“Brother Bill is a four-piece rock group that was molded amongst the massive field parties and rich musical heritage of Fauquier County, VA. After a year rocking the beer-fueled nightspots of Richmond, VA, with three-part harmonies and punk rock energy, they have established themselves in the city with their blend of indie rock, punk and folk influences.

Brother Bill released their first self-titled album spring of 2012. The 10-song debut can be purchased on iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon or heard on Spotify. In addition to feel-ing at home in Richmond, the band regularly performs in Warrenton, Middleburg, Fairfax and Winchester. The next high-energy performance in downtown Winchester is on November 2 at Union Jacks Pub.”
