People who live in the Stephens
City area now have another restau-
rant to add to their list of choices.
Little Tokyo Japanese Steak House
opened up on January 15. Little
Tokyo is where Z & Z Buffet used
to be located, in the plaza behind
Miller Hardware.
Jin Li, one of the owners of Little
Tokyo, also co-owns the Ginger
Asian Chinese restaurant, which is
located in the same plaza as Mar-
tin’s, near Stephens City. Ginger
Asian will be celebrating its third
anniversary in March. The owners
of Little Tokyo wanted to open a
Japanese restaurant that would be
more affordable than Ichiban and
provide the residents of the Ste-
phens City area with more variety.
Anna Chem, who helps manage
Little Tokyo and Ginger Asian, says
there are a lot of Chinese restau-
rants in the area and that “Stephens
City needs a Japanese steak house”.
Tokyo. Their most popular combo
dish is chicken, shrimp and steak.
Their lo mein sauce is a soy-based
secret recipe. Little Tokyo offers a
shrimp sauce that they call their
“magic sauce.” Chef Kuper Li says
that you can also call it “yummy,
yummy sauce”.
When asked if it was difficult to
transition from one restaurant to
two, Chem said that the “first week
was hard”, but that their employees

are good. With Z & Z going out of
business, the owners of Little To-
kyo felt it was a good opportunity
for them to offer the public a less
expensive alternative to Ichiban.
The owners of Little Tokyo are con-
scious of the strain the economy
has put on the area and they want
to provide people with quality Jap-
anese food at an affordable price.
Little Tokyo offers a variety of ap-
petizers, dinner entrees and side

So far, the weekends are the busi-
est time at Little Tokyo. As busi-
ness increases, they plan to add
more variety to their menu. Cur-
rently, Little Tokyo mostly serves
Japanese food. Their most popu-
lar dishes are filet mignon, steak,
shrimp, lobster and chicken. The
main difference between Chinese
and Japanese food is that Chinese
dishes are typically fried, whereas
Japanese food is usually cooked
on the grill. Also, Japanese food is
cooked with different sauces than
Chinese food is. Chem says that
Japanese food is easier to cook and
healthier to eat. Chem noted that

Council members discuss boundaries, voting, and budget

Debate continues over whether to move Middletown elections to November
By Sue Golden
The Sherando Times
The Middletown Town Council
met for its monthly committee meet-
ing, on Monday, February 15, 2011,
at 7:00pm, at Town Hall. Mayor
Mark Brown began with the Ordi-
nance Committee. Zoning Admin-
istrator, Fred Wharton, is cleaning
up the language of the building fee
ordinance, partly by taking out ir-
relevant language, and by clarifying
old language. Mr. Wharton and the
Council discussed the renumbering
of the building fee table structures,
so they more appropriately delineat-
ed each fee item, and its subsections.
Mr. Wharton also is checking applied
zoning fees with other municipalities
in the area; Mr. Wharton believes
Middletown’s fees are below-mar-
ket, and need to be increased. The
Council discussed whether having
additional fee income could allow
the Council to hire a part-time public
planner, in the same way the Council
has a part-time lawyer.
The Council discussed the status of
the boundary adjustment to the north
and east of Middletown, including,
et al, Reliance Road. The Freder-
ick County Planning office sent the
boundary adjustment proposal to the
Frederick County Comprehensive
Plan and Program Committee for its
review. The next steps on the County
level will be for recommendations
to be brought back to the Planning
Commission for its review, and then
to forward the proposal to the Fred-
erick County Board of Supervisors. It
was noted that, at the County level,
there are no water issue; water will be
“Middletown’s problem.”
At the Middletown level, the Plan-
ning Commission is currently re-
viewing the proposed boundary ad-
justment. Mayor Brown believes the
boundary adjustment could be final-
ized by the end of 2011.
There ensued a raging debate about
whether or not the Town Council Li-
aison to the Planning Commission
and the Town Zoning Administrator
could vote at Planning Commission
meetings. After strong debate of the
underlying legal and historical issues,
the Council decided to spend the
money to send the issue to the Town
lawyer for a legal opinion.
Mark Davis, representing the Plan-
ning Commission, asked whether
unused training funds allocated to
the Planning Commission could be
used to create a Planning Commis-
sion library. According to Mr. Da-
vis, many members of the Planning
Commission purchased reference
books with their own money. The
Council sets aside $350 per year to
send members of the Planning Com-
mission to training sessions. This
year, no one is attending the training
sessions. Mr. Davis does not believe
the amount allocated covers all of the
expenses of the training. He agreed
to look into the actual expense of the
training sessions, and report back to
the Council. The Council decided to
hold the funds until more informa-
tion was gathered.
Termite experts returned to Town
Hall to find that the termite bait they
had set out previously had been re-
moved, and presumably taken to the
termite nest for extermination. The
termite company is on a mainte-
nance contract, so they will continue
to monitor the situation.
The Public Works Department
noted that it has $2,300 in its budget
to buy ultra-violate lights needed at
the water treatment plant. Donald
A. Riffey, the Superintendent of Pub-
lic Works, believes the actual cost
will be closer to $6,000. If so, money
will need to be added to his budget
to cover the added expense. On the
other hand, when all is said and done,
the Public Works Department may
have a surplus of $27,000 at the end
of the year.
The Council is moving towards sep-
arating and delineating the positions
of Town Treasurer and Town Clerk.
Although the Council and staff have
discussed the issue, no firm steps
have been taken. Mayor Brown asked
Town Manager Joan Roche to define
and delineate the job descriptions,
and to make a recommendation on
any salary adjustment. The Council
anticipates voting on this issue at the
March 14, 2011 meeting.
The Town was notified that it will
be charged a 3% “convenience fee”
for credit card payments. The Coun-
cilors debated whether the fee should
be passed directly onto the consumer.
There is no fee if you pay with a check
or cash.
A long conversation ensued re-
garding unpaid personal property
taxes. The unpaid taxes need to be
abated if they are not paid within five
years. Currently, the Town sends let-
ters to individuals, but no liens are
being placed on the properties. Con-
sequently, taxes need to be abated for
unpaid taxes for the years 2003, 2004,
and 2005. Ms. Roche will research a
template that can be used by the
Town, so more taxes are collected.
It was noted that a new fund needs
to be set up, so that the Mayor can
pay for items such as flowers and
cards, sent to the families of deceased
former members of the Town Coun-
cil or former Mayors. A “petty cash”
account is illegal; the IRS would call
it a slush fund. The Council agreed
to set up a fund, such as a “Mayoral
Discretionary Fund,” to cover these
expenses.
The Council discussed moving the
voting day for Middletown’s elections
to November, to piggy-back on fed-
eral, state, and county elections. Cur-
rently, the Town pays approximately
$6,000 to rent voting machines. If the
election were moved to November,
the Town would pay only its share of
the cost.
Mayor Brown requested and re-
ceived authorization from the Coun-
cil to look into outsourcing the Town
newsletter, which is distributed with
the water and gas bill. The Town
currently does the newsletter itself.
Mayor Brown would like to find
someone that would take over the
newsletter, improving it and selling
ads in it. The Town would receive a
fee for the outsourcing, and the new
editor would make whatever it raised
in ad dollars.
The Public Safety Department was
ready to burn all of the yard waste
it collected this fall, until the burn-
ing ban was put into effect recently.
Public Works is hoping there will be
enough of a snow before the season is
over, to burn the waste.
The Council also discussed clean-
ing out the second floor of Town
Hall. Councilmember Owings be-
lieves there are items on the second
floor from before the Town bought
the building. The Council hopes to
auction off items, so the second floor
can be used for additional office and
filing space.
Subsequent to the contamination
spill, the Council is working with the
Department of Environmental Qual-
ity to meet DEQs standards. If not,
large fines can be leveled against the
Town. Mr. Riffey is sending a letter to
the DEQ, with the Town’s agenda for
coming into compliance with DEQ
standards. The DEQ is demanding
the Town buy a 24 hour, continuous
monitoring, system that will cost ap-
proximately $10,000. The Council is
hoping to implement the system with
the 2012 budget.
Donna D. H. Gray, and Charles
Harbaugh IV were absent from the
meeting.

Richmond, Thursday, February 17, 2011
- Del. Clifford “Clay” Athey, Jr. (R-Warren),
Chairman of the House Republican Policy
Committee, announced that his bill on sus-
pension of driver’s license for failure to pay
child support and his bill on unexecuted
warrants now go on to the governor’s
desk.
Delegate Athey’s HB 1694 establishes
a procedure for revocation of a person’s
driver’s license in cases in which a per-
son fails to timely pay their child support
obligation. Under Athey’s bill a deadbeat
parent who has had his driver’s license
previously reinstated after entering into an
agreement with the Division of Child Sup-
port Enforcement may have their license
revoked subsequent times for continuing
violations.
The deadbeat parent would then have to
pay $600 of the arrearage to get their license
back the first time, followed by a $1,200
payment to reinstate the driver’s license
the second time, with the third revocation
potentially triggering the repayment of the
entire arrearage in child support.
Athey commented: “HB1694 brings the
three strikes and you’re out axiom to those
who refuse to pay child support on time.
When a deadbeat parent fails to make child
support payments, not only do their chil-
dren suffer but many times the government
has to make up the difference through ex-
pensive social programs. HB 1694 puts the
responsibility for one’s children where it
belongs on the parents.”
HB 1694 passed the House 94-4 and the
Senate 39-0.
Delegate Athey’s HB 1695 clarifies that
unexecuted warrants can be destroyed if
items from 109 Georgetowne
Court, the home of Shawn Bi-
anco, in Stephens City on Friday,
February 11. Among the items
listed in the warrant executed at
3:50 p.m. were a Gateway lap-

the local designation shall be controlling.
HB 1695 passed the House 99-0 and the
Senate with amendment 40-0.
Athey commented: “My HB 1695 ensures
that our local Clerks of Court do not have
to keep unnecessary records on file for ex-
tended periods of time. This should free up
additional space and save money which is
why the House unanimously passed the
bill.”

Wildfires
Warren County hit by major wildland fires
By Chief Richard E. Mabie
Warren County Fire & Rescue
Dept.
Extreme fire conditions greeted
Warren County Saturday morn-
ing, February 19, 2011, with low
humidity, low fuel moisture and
high winds. Winds for the day
were consistently at 35-40 MPH
with gusts exceeding 50 MPH
causing National Weather Ser-
vice to issue Red Flag Fire Warn-
ings and High Wind Warnings
for most of the western part of
the State.
First fire came in at 7:03 AM for
a brush fire with downed power
lines at 632 Yardbird Lane in
Harmony Hollow. Fire units ar-
rived to find several acres burn-
ing in the mountainous area near
the Four H Center. Units from
Stations 1, 9, 2, 3, 8,5 and Depart-
ment of Forestry worked over
4 hours to bring this fire under
control. Total area burned was
approximately 2 acres.
At 7:21 AM, fire units were dis-
patched to 2238 High Top Road
for a brush threatening a house.
Units from Stations 4, 10, 2, 1 and
5 on scene to find a fast moving
woods fire threatening several
structures. A very aggressive at-
tack by units confined the fire to
2 acres and no structure dam-
age. Units were on scene for 1 ½
hours.
Third fire of the day was also
dispatched as a woods fire threat-
ening several structures at 253
Parkside View Drive in Brown-
town. Upon arrival, fire units
found a fast moving, wind blown
fire of about 3 acres. Within min-
utes this fire was over 10 acres
and moving up and into the
Shenandoah National Park. The
Park Service was called for assis-
tance, as well as additional units
for Warren County, including the
Forestry Tractor. The fire con-
tinued to increase in size at an
alarming rate due to high winds
and steep terrain of the fire. Lo-
cal fire and rescue units were
assigned to structure and build-
ing protection while Forestry
Tractors were used to attempt to
cut a fire break between the fast
moving fire and the private land
and structures. Fire and Rescue
units were staged at the Brown-
town Community Center, where
the fire command and rehab were
located. Several times during the
next 8 hours, units and person-
nel that were deployed had to be
pulled back into safe zones due
to the speed of the fire spread
up the mountain. The fire rap-
idly spread from private land on
Parkside View into the Shenan-
doah National Park. At about
2:30 PM, the first had crested the
Park ridges and had jumped the
Skyline Drive. At this point, the

down the east slope of the Park

timated the total acreage burned
at this time at over 2,000 and is

don’t think I’m going to be here more than a few weeks maximum.”
Health issues force closing of local gallery
Euro Design in Kernstown will close its doors in a matter of days
A portion of the collection of art furnishings found in this
going out of business sale.
By Lorie Showalter
The Sherando Times
There is an amazing home furnish-
ings gallery in Kernstown that’s been
in operation for about a year and a
half. The owner, who is an interior
designer, has had galleries in New
York, Chicago, Potomac Falls and
Tyson’s Corner. He’s traveled all over
Europe, Africa and Asia over twenty
years collecting, designing and bring-
ing beautiful creations to his various
galleries.
His business isn’t your typical
home furnishings store and it carries
the most unique and artistic furni-
ture around. But, there’s good news
and there’s bad news to this story if
you’re interested and didn’t know his
collections were available.
Euro Design Flooring & Furniture
on Route 11 in Kernstown is going
out of business and it won’t linger in
its closing. Owner Amir Soleymani
says, “It’s literally a matter of days,
not months. I don’t think I’m going
to be here more than a few weeks
maximum.”
Amir is having severe spinal prob-
lems that require fusion and he said,
“I need to take care of my health,
nothing in life is more important.”
He really didn’t want to talk about
his health issues and says his inven-
tory will go regardless of what day he
actually closes his doors, because his
collections are so rare that dealers al-
ready have bids on them.
The collections range in style from
Empire, French, Italian and some
are his own designs which are hand
carved with multilayered finish-
ing. Everything in his gallery has a
beautiful European flare, so simply
browsing suddenly makes you feel
as though you’ve walked through the
doors of a museum and you’ve just
been given the opportunity to bid on
a Rembrandt and there’s no one else
to outbid you.
“As a matter of fact, the last collec-
tion are six of the most magnificent
collections I’ve ever done,” says Amir.
His love for his work is so genuine
that throughout the interview and
his obvious discomfort, the pain ap-
peared momentarily forgotten as he
described his life’s work. Amir ex-
plained that some of his ideas and de-
signs might sit on the shelf for three
to five years before he gets a chance
to work on it, mostly due to his re-
cent health issues. His work does not
involve mass production but limited
editions he designs himself.
When he moved his business from
Tyson’s Corner to Winchester he was
able to lower prices substantially due
to the overhead from operating in
the city. He said the move allowed
him to lower prices as much as 60 to
65 percent and now with the closing
of the gallery the prices are further
discounted with anywhere from a 70
to 80 percent markdown. Amir said,
“If consumers want to take advantage
of it, this is sincerely the best time.”
“Everything you see in the gallery
is one of a kind,” said Amir, and when
browsing through the room anyone
who’s ever shopped for home décor
will quickly realize that is an accu-
rate statement. There’s an old world
elegance to the collections that are
deeply inspired from the roots of a
genuine European designer.
Since Amir is able to close his doors
whenever he pleases, because 80% of
his inventory has already been bid
on by dealers, how do his next few
days in business benefit customers?
Genuine oriental carpets from around the world.
Amir says, “I’m actually selling to the
consumer below the bid price of the
dealer, dealers have up to six months
to pay but the [customer who walks
in the door] pays right away, so I’m
making greater sacrifices to custom-
ers: they get a wonderful deal and I
get paid up front without having to
wait three to six months.” His busi-
ness sense is sound and he’s not look-
ing for sympathy for his health issues
and that being the reason behind the
closing of his doors. He explains, “It’s
not just to sell out of the goodness
of my heart, it makes good business
sense.”
“There’s something for everyone,
there are items marked down to as
little as eight and ten dollars,” says
Amir. And as far as furnishings that
are of such superior quality that with
more than half off the original price,
his analogy is, “I can go to a depart-
ment store and buy a woolen sweater
for $30 to $40 or I can buy cashmere
for $300 to $400, what is the differ-
ence? Perhaps it’s the quality.” It de-
pends upon the tastes of the consum-
er and how they choose to decorate
their homes.
The carpets are of superior quality
and made of wool, silk, or wool/silk
combinations and everything is hand
selected. “Nothing is from seized
warehouses,” explains Amir, who is
clearly proud of his inventory and
collections. He says, “I do realize
the fine line between arrogance and
confidence, but speaking from the
confidence side of it, if someone likes
something here and they can’t get
the equivalent or the same, the same
won’t be there … but equivalent to
that, they’ll never be able to afford it,
it’s that simple.”
Basically what this means is that if
the quality of what you’re shopping

for reading stages of young children,
infant to kindergarten. The reading
stages include print motivation and
awareness, phonological awareness,
letter knowledge and vocabulary, and
narrative skills. 540-869-9000
Art club
The Sherando Art Club is partici-
pating in The Memory Project. The
Memory Project is a unique initia-
tive in which art students create por-
traits (drawings, paintings, graphic
design, etc) for children and teens
around the world who have been or-
phaned, neglected, or disadvantaged.
To do this, the students receive
photographs of children waiting for
portraits and then work from those
photos to create the artwork. Stu-
dents also have an option of creating
“Books of Hope.” These are short sto-
ries created, illustrated, and bound
by the students into books for these
children. The goal of the project is
to inspire caring, global friendship,
and a positive sense of self for our
students. The project was developed
by Ben Schumaker as a graduate stu-
dent at the University of Wisconsin.
In 2003, while volunteering in Gua-
temala, Ben encountered a man who
had grown up in an orphanage. This
man explained that he did not have
any personal belongings from his
youth. He suggested that Ben help
the kids collect special items that
would contribute to these children’s’
sense of identity and self-worth.

brary is conducting days in February,
March, and April of imaginative play
for children who are just learning to
build. This program is appropriate
for elementary and middle school
students. Builders’ tools will be Lego®
bricks. On February 14, the children
will build anything they want in the
theme of “Construction.” “Pirates”
will be the theme on March 14, and
on April 11, the children can build
anything having to do with “The Cir-
cus.” Perhaps there will be houses
and skyscrapers in February, ships on
the high seas in March, and trapeze
artists on the high wire and clowns in
April—it’s up to the children’s imagi-
nations as to what they build.

Delegate Clay Athey, R-18th Legislative District
Greetings from your Delegate
to the Virginia General Assem-
bly. This week over 2,000 bills
have been filed by Delegates
and Senators throughout the
Commonwealth of Virginia.
Governor Bob McDonnell
gave his second speech to a
Joint Session of the General As-
sembly last Wednesday. My col-
leagues and I will spend much
of the session considering thou-
sands of bills and amendments
to the state’s two-year, $78 bil-
lion budget.
I was also re-appointed by
the House Speaker to serve as
Vice-Chairman of the House
Courts of Justice Committee.
The Courts of Justice Commit-
tee is recognized along with
the Appropriations Committee
as one of the two most power-
ful standing committees in the
Virginia House of Delegates
and I am appreciative of being
selected by the Speaker to serve
as its Vice-Chairman.
As Chairman of the Court’s
Civil Law Subcommittee, I am
afforded the privilege of over-
seeing all proposed changes to
Virginia Civil Laws. Since the
House Courts of Justice Com-
mittee hears over sixty percent
of all the bills introduced in
any legislative session and also
recommends to the General As-
sembly all the appointments to
vacancies in the Virginia Judi-
ciary, that role alone keeps me
very busy year round.
In addition, I was re-appoint-
ed to serve on the House Edu-
cation Committee, where I will
serve as Chairman of its Stu-
dents and Day Care Sub-Com-
mittee. The House Education
Committee oversees K-12 Pub-
lic Schools and Higher Educa-
Kidgits Club to present this program.
Free books, stickers and refreshments
will be provided to students who at-
tend the event. The Cat-in-th-Hat,
Thing One and Thing Two will be in
attendance. In addition, a number of
local celebrities will read to children

County will meet Tuesday morn-

ent Board Room - Allen Dining Hall. 
tion in Virginia and as a Virginia
Community College graduate, I
take particular interest in all ar-
eas of education.
I was also re-appointed to the
Health, Welfare and Institutions
Committee which oversees
all laws relating to healthcare
in Virginia as well the Militia,
Police, and Public Safety Com-
mittee which oversees law en-
forcement agencies throughout
Virginia. Thus, I am one of only
a few senior delegates that serve
on four Standing Committees in
the House of Delegates.
I was also re-elected by my
peers as Chairman of the House
Policy Committee which works
to develop numerous propos-
als to reform Virginia’s govern-
ment and hopefully strengthen
a myriad of Virginia statutory
laws each legislative session.
Jobs and the state of our econ-
omy in the Commonwealth will
be the major focus of the 2011
General Assembly Session and
over the coming weeks in this
column, I hope to also share
with my constituents many
other public policy proposals
which seek to streamline state
government through reform
and cost cutting of non-essen-
tial services.
As always, I thank you for
the opportunity to serve in the
Oldest Deliberative body in the
New World. Just sitting at my
desk on the floor of the Capitol
designed by Thomas Jefferson
is both awe inspiring and very
humbling for a boy who grew
up at 326 Duncan Avenue in
Viscose City. During session,
I can be reached at 1-804-698-
1018 or Email delcathey@house.

FCPS and Health Department
Offering Immunizations
Frederick County Public Schools
is again partnering with the Lord
Fairfax Health District to offer teta-
nus, diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap)
booster vaccinations to rising sixth
grade students. On March 22, 23
and 24, fifth grade students attending
each of Frederick County’s 11 ele-
mentary schools will have the oppor-
tunity to receive their Tdap booster
free of charge. Students will only be
able to receive the vaccination if their
parents have provided the school
with written permission.
Since 2006, all rising sixth grade
students have been required to have
the Tdap booster. If the student has
had a tetanus-containing vaccine
within the last five years (after Au-
gust 2006), the booster isn’t neces-
sary. Some students also are exempt
from the immunization requirement
for religious or medical reasons.
According to the Virginia Depart-
ment of Health, the Tdap vaccine
protects against tetanus, diphtheria

Frederick County Public Schools
Coordinator of Health Services Pam
Unhoch says there are certain immu-
nizations that are required for a child
to attend public schools in Virginia.
Parents are responsible for providing
the documentation which shows that
all required immunizations have been
administered and are current. By the
end of February, letters will be sent to
the parents of all fifth grade students
who need to receive the Tdap boost-
er before entering the sixth grade.
Parents need to review their child’s
immunization record and if the last
vaccination was before August 2006,
the student needs to receive the Tdap
booster prior to the start of school
in August. Specific medical ques-
tions should be referred to the child’s
physician. Sixth grade students who
have not had their vaccination prior
to the first day of school will be tem-
porarily excluded from classes until
the booster has been administered.

Is the Economy
Getting Better?
Is the economy recovering? Let’s see
what the experts say:
—We’ve seen a small increase in the
number of hours worked per week.
—Champagne sales are up.
—Companies are spending a bit
more on assets such as computers.
—There are more job listings, and
fewer people are taking a second job.
—There’s more traffic on the road
as more people are going to work and
shopping.
On a personal level, you can do
your own test of the economy in your
area in the grocery store by looking
in the shopping carts of other people.
Do you see only the basics, all store
brands? Are there any snacks? Any
beer or wine? Is there a good beef
roast, steak or chicken parts instead of
whole chickens?
Check the heels of the shoes of those
in front of you in lines. Are the heels
run down? Are the shoes new?
How many cars are in the parking
lots of local restaurants on weekends?
When the economy is better, people
feel safer about spending a bit more.
Not that this should change your
own money-handling methods. While
you might see more new cars on the
road or your neighbors having their
house painted or bottles of expensive
wine in shopping carts, keep on track
with your own spending plan. While
we see signs of recovery, it’s uneven,
and it’s not all across the board. It’s
not completely over. We’re heading
in the right direction, though, as seen
with large and small indications, but
we’re not there yet.
For one more year: Keep saving, and
keep your credit balances low or paid
off. Keep shopping at thrift stores,
especially for kids clothes and toys.
Change your own oil, if you haven’t
been. Stick to your budget and have
pizza and movie night at home. Don’t
open new lines of credit. Conserve
on heating and cooling. Keep up with
yard and house maintenance so repairs
don’t cost you more later.
Aim for having one year of expenses
in the bank. Yes, that’s a lot, but many
people have been out of work for lon-
ger than that.
Given our recent experiences, per-
haps you’ll even decide to stick long
term with some of the lifestyle chang-
es you’ve made.
