Canned vegetables
are better than none
Did you know its possible to sufer
from malnutrition even if youre eating
three times a day? That can happen
easily to seniors who fnd it hard to
be motivated to cook and end up just
snacking throughout the day.
A changing sense of smell and taste,
loneliness after the death of a spouse,
medications and boredom are a few of
the reasons we dont eat as well as we
should. But with a little ingenuity, its
easy to fx fast, easy meals youll actually
eat! Here are some ideas:
Use your slow cooker. All the ingre-
dients are assembled in the pot in the
morning, and are ready by dinnertime.
The variety of cookbooks on the
market is amazing. Investigate cook-
books that ofer recipes with only fve
ingredients, diabetic recipes, meals that
take less than 0 minutes to prepare, and
prepared foods combined with your
own easy additions.
Double the amounts you prepare,
and freeze the rest for days when you
really dont want to cook at all. Be sure
to label the container and use it within
a few weeks.
If income allows, consider order-
ing one week of a plan where meals
are delivered to your door. While the
cost would be prohibitive to do this
constantly, having a few meals in the
freezer would be handy for those times
you dont want to cook.
Take a cooking class and learn steps
to fx quick meals.
Ask your doctor for a referral to a
nutritionist if you need help with creat-
ing a menu, portion sizes and nutritional
values.
If youre truly stuck in a not-cooking
rut, in a pinch, remember: Canned fruit
and vegetables are better than none at
all. Peanut butter on crackers with a
banana ofers nutrition. It takes only
a few minutes to scramble eggs, add
cheese and make toast.

Frederick County Report
C
ouncil conducted a civil and short meeting on
Monday evening. As usual, the fnancial stabil-
ity of the town was the major focus.
On June 1, Mayor Mark Brown sent a missive
to the town treasurer, the personnel and fnance
committee, public safety committee, and the public
works committee, tasking the treasurer to com-
prehensively document all FY011 revenues and
expenditures, and FY01 expected revenue, and
the committees to validate all requested FY01
expenditures and identify recommended budget
reductions all by September 1, 011.
In his missive, the Mayor sited the failure of prior
administrations to implement long-range fscal plan-
ning to replace water and sewage lines as a negative
efect on the current budget.
Turns out, the Mayor was presage; at 1:30 a.m. last
Saturday, there was a major waterline break at the
corners of 1st and Church Streets. Ofcer Minnelli
discovered the break, and began rousing neces-
sary parties out of their beds. Water to the north
end of Town was disrupted. Te break in the circa
1950 pipe was fxed by noon, but the pipe burst
in a diferent location about an hour later. Again,
water was shut of to the north end of Town, and
all parties went back to work. Te second break
was fxed by 9 p.m.
The mayor commended all of the parties by
name for their hard work and dedication, while
bemoaning the fact that the unexpected bills to
fx the pipes will further erode the fscal stability
of Middletown.
With this, and the plunge in global stock mar-
kets as background, the Council debated whether
to increase the property tax from .065 cents per
hundred to .10 cents per hundred. According to
fgures gleaned from the 011/1 budget, the av-
erage house in Middletown is valued at $178,000.
Te proposed rate increase would cost the property
owner an additional $63, raising their tax from $115
to $178. Middletown encompasses 450 properties,
so the Town would raise an additional $8,100, to
make the total property tax revenue $80,100.
Councilman Mark Davis led the discussion, ar-
guing that, even though the tax would increase,
the decline in property values would keep the tax
artifcially low.
If you look back to your 005 taxes, you still
might be paying less than you did in 005.
Councilor Donna M. G. Gray countered that, with
all of the other tax increases being imposed, she
favored fnding ways to cut expenses, rather than
further add to the hardship of residents. Councilor
Gray was backed by other council members; Gerald
D. Sinclair and Charles H. Harbaugh, IV.
Councilman Carl H. Bernhards, Jr. fred back
that anyone voting against the tax increase should
be responsible for fnding the cuts to balance the
budget, since those cuts eluded the council to date.
Brown interjected that the town is in fnancial
distress, and urged council to vote for what was
best for the town, without bias for political or
party divides.
A pensive atmosphere took hold as the roll call
vote was taken: Councilors Davis, John Blaisdell,
Jr. and Bernhards voted yea; Councilors Gray,
Sinclair and Harbaugh voted nea. Te Council
being divided evenly, the vote passed to the Mayor,
who cast the deciding vote for the rate increase.
Council moved on to the frst and second reading
of a group of town ordinances. Te ordinance to
accurately defne the standing committees of the
council, the ordinance to amend the rules of or-
der, and the addition of the temporary health care
structure ordinance, passed unanimously. Davis
was the sole no vote against the ordinance remov-
ing the cap on the salaries of the council.
Police Chief Phil Breeden reported that he pur-
chased radios for the town at a discounted rate,
partly paid for by a grant he obtained.
In other news, the town expects three vacancies in
the near future. To learn more about the vacancies,
or to apply for a job, contact Town Hall.
The July 4th Committee has added a Sunday
Softball League to its list of fundraisers. For more
information on the league, or to donate items to
the Town for the Route 11 Yard Crawl, contact
Councilor Harbaugh at (540) 877-4594.
Two public hearings will be held prior to the Sep-
tember 1 meeting. Te hearing on the Temporary
Health Care Structures Ordinance will take place
at 6:45 p.m. Te hearing on the Regional Water
Supply Ordinance will take place at 6:50 p.m.
Te Planning and Zoning Committee will hold its
next workshop on August 15 at 7 p.m.
All Council members were present at the meet-
ing.

Frederick County Report
C
ouncil members met in
regular session on Tuesday,
August 8.
Issues discussed included the
possible relocation of the 307
interchange at Stephens City, the
widening of 77 to White Oak
Road, the possible moving of town
elections from May to November,
and concerns about Stephens City
sewer issues that are affecting
the Frederick County Sanitation
Authority.
The lawsuit filed by Frederick
County against Stephens City
more than two years ago was also
discussed during a closed session
following the regular town council
meeting.
There has been talk for quite
a while about the relocation of
Interchange 307 or of adding an-
other interchange near Stephens
City to help alleviate the trafc
fow east from Route 11 over the
I-81 bridge and from Route 77
west across the bridge to Route 11.
So far, talking about the problem
is all that has been done.
According to town planner Brian
Henshaw, funding for the study of
this project has fnally been ap-
proved and received. Of the 140
or so projects up for review at the
Metropolitan Planning Organiza-
tion, which includes Winchester,
Frederick County and Stephens
City, this project is currently a
top priority.
Now the study must be com-
pleted to determine how the re-
location of 307 would afect area
businesses near the interchange
and whether adding a new inter-
change would actually help allevi-
ate trafc through Stephens City.
Anyone who has tried to go south
on Route 11 and cross east over
the bridge during the busiest time
of day knows it can sometimes
take 0 minutes or more. At times
trafc can get backed up all the
way through Stephens City.
Another topic that has been
thoroughly talked over has been
the widening of Route 77 into
four lanes west to White Oak
Road. Last Tuesday evening, one
council member joked that its
been in the six-year plan for
ffteen years.
If the widening of 77 does hap-
pen, another council member
noted that, Whats good for the
region is good for us.
Council members also discussed
the possibility of moving the
towns biennial elections to co-
incide with the general elections
in November. Two reasons why
this would be good for Stephens
City is that voter turnout would
be higher and it would reduce
Stephens Citys cost of holding
elections.
According to the town manager
of Stephens City, Mike Kehoe,
there are about 600 registered
voters in the town and only 38
showed up for the last election,
which was in May of 010. Kehoe
believes the town would be bet-
ter served if the vote was moved
to the same day as the general
election. If the town election is
changed from May to November,
it would not take efect until the
014 election at the earliest, Ke-
hoe said.
Another issue afecting the resi-
dents of Stephens City is that
unknown sources are putting
non-biodegradable materials into
the sewage system of Stephens
City.
Kehoe describes the material as
being blue shop towels, such as
those mechanics might use. Tis
is causing the town of Stephens
City to be in violation of the sewer
use ordinance. Kehoe says he has
visited every business within the
town limits and so far, no one is
claiming responsibility for putting
such materials into the towns
sewage.
A solution to the problem this
is creating for the FCSA would
be to install a grinder at the fow
meter, Kehoe said. Te residents
of Stephens City would see an
increase in their bills as a result.
The town has already notified
residents of a rate increase that
is scheduled to take efect at the
end of this month. Te town of
Stephens City, the FCSA and the
Winchester Service Authority are
trying to schedule a meeting to
come up with a solution. Kehoe
says that one way or another, this
issue will be resolved.
With regard to the lawsuit Fred-
erick County has fled against the
town of Stephens City, Kehoe is
hoping the town can settle the
matter with the county out of
court. Frederick County is suing
the town because of zoning issues
related to two properties at the
north end of Stephens City. Kehoe
says the town has More than met
the cost of impact developments
related to the properties. Freder-
ick County disagrees.
According to County Attorney
Rod Williams, Frederick County
fled the lawsuit because they be-
lieve Stephens City is not comply-
ing with the voluntary settlement
agreement they entered into with
the county in 005.
Te basis of the agreement was
that, As the town approved de-
velopments, they were to ensure
that the impacts of any develop-
ment approved would be fully
mitigated. In laymans terms, this
essentially means that any time a
development is approved there are
cost impacts related to schools,
government, libraries, etc.
Williams asserts that the town
of Stephens City did not accept
sufficient payments from the
property owners to cover the
cost of development. Frederick
County has fled the lawsuit to
ensure that sufcient payments
are made once development oc-
curs. Williams says the payments
are conditional upon develop-

is being disputed in the lawsuit Frederick Co. has fled

ment. Tese payments are called
profers.
Te lawsuit was fled by Fred-
erick County against Stephens
City on July , 009. Te case has
been slowly trickling through
the civil division of the Frederick
County Circuit Court. According
to the Virginia Circuit Court Case
website, the case is scheduled for
another hearing on August 9,
with a tentative trial date set for
November 8.
Kehoe said the town is trying to
resolve the matter out of court
through direct negotiations be-
tween the attorneys representing
both sides. He said he believes the
town is adequately represented by
Attorney John Zunka, who was
assigned to represent Stephens
City by the Virginia Municipal
League through which the town
has insurance.
We dont fle a lawsuit if we dont
think we can win, said Attorney
Williams.
With regard to the properties
in question, Kehoe said that the
profers are so high no one can
aford to build there.
One of the properties, described
by Kehoe as the Russell property
is the land on which the white
house sits vacant on the right just
before entering the town limits
of Stephens City going south on
Route 11.
The property has been vacant
for several years and it does not
appear that the property will be
developed anytime in the near
future. Meanwhile, the lawsuit is
costing the town of Stephens City
a fair amount of money.
Williams declined to disclose
how much money Frederick
County has spent so far on litiga-
tion in this case. Tough Williams
would not reveal the amount for
which Frederick County is suing
Stephens City, he did say there is
$4-5 million at issue.
On a lighter note, the town of
Stephens City is preparing for the
Route 11 Yard Crawl scheduled for
this coming Saturday, August 13.
Tis is the fourth year that Ste-
phens City has participated in
Te Crawl. According to Kehoe,
available space at Te Commons
area has already been flled up.
People who still wish to set up for
Te Crawl can rent space at the old
Stephens City school. Of course,
residents of the town who live on
Route 11 are welcome to set up for
Te Crawl on their own property.
Te Crawl runs from New Market
to Stephens City.

Menard
Dismisses His
Critics
What a dif-
ference a year
makes.
He has those jaunty sideburns that make him
look a bit, you know, colorful. Menard has been
criticized because his father is wealthy and has
supported his sons racing eforts.
Just who out there would pass that up?
In truth, Menard is quite modest, as refect-
ed in the fact that he is quite terse. His answers
to questions are seldom expansive, and he often
speaks in sentences that arent complete. Ex-
amples from his press conference after winning
Sundays Brickyard 400:
Cant change peoples opinions. ... Cant con-
trol it. ... Defnitely for him (his dad). ... Sitting
up in a suite for the inaugural one (Brickyard
400 in 1994). ... Saw Rick Mast win the pole. ...
Passed a couple cars. ... Just started trying to
maintain some kind of lap time being easy on
the throttle, easy of, earlier than normal, easy
on.
You get the point.
But anyone who thinks Paul Menard is some
international playboy, jetting around on his
daddys money, has got it wrong. John Men-
ard was able to make sure his son got the best
equipment, but it was Paul who proved he could
do the job. Some fnd Indy boring. Others com-
plain about how hard it is to see. No one doubts
it takes considerable ability to win here.
Richard Childress didnt put Menard in his
No. 7 Chevy just because of sponsorship from
the Menards chain of home-improvement
warehouses. It didnt hurt, though.
I caught a lot of fak back early last year
when we decided to go with four teams, said
Childress. Ive been watching Paul ever since
he won the Nationwide race (Milwaukee, 006).
He doesnt wear equipment out. Hes consis-
tent. Hes really good. Got a cool head on him
in all situations.
I knew if the right situation came along,
wed win. To get Slugger (Labbe, Menards
crew chief ) to come over, John Menard support
us ... that was a big jump going in on a fourth
team.
Menard bounced around, from Dale Earn-
hardt Inc. in 007-08 and to Richard Petty
Motorsports in 009-10. It took Childress to
provide him with what proved to be a win-
ning combination in one of NASCARs premier
races.
