Middletown and Frederick County presenDraft Reliance Road Area Joint Land Use Plan ConceptBy Sue GoldenTe Sherando imes

Last Tursday evening, Novem-ber 18, 010, the Middletownown Council, the FrederickCounty Planning and Develop-ment Director, and members othe Reliance Road Steering Com-mittee presented their Drat Re-liance Road Area Joint Land UsePlan - Concept or CommunityMeeting Presentation and PublicComment. Middletowns MayorMark Brown opened the meetingpromptly at 7 pm.

Te current proposed plandates, in part, back to 00, whenom Glass, who lives north onReliance Road, asked to be incor-porated into the own o Middle-town. At the time, Middletowndid not have the water and sewerlines available to accommodateMr. Glass. However, in 005,when Middletown adopted a newComprehensive Plan, the planincluded the Foresight Middle-town plan, which promoted theimplementation o a technologypark east o I-81, at the Middle-town exit.

In the Spring o 010, our

landowners, owning approxi-mately 317 acres on the east sideo I-81, at the Middletown exit,approached the own o Middle-town about a possible annexationo their properties into the town.Part o the annexation would re-quire that the town provide wa-ter and sewer access to the prop-erties, so they can be developed.Currently, the Exxon station onthe east side o I-81 is the onlyproperty being provided withwater and sewer by the town.According to Mayor Brown, thearea being discussed has only onedeep well, and the wells beingrelied upon by the residents areshallow, with questionable waterquality.

Middletown responded to therequest in two ways. First, thetowns o Middletown and Stras-burg are looking into the possi-bility o Middletown tapping intothe Strasburg water supply, to addto the water Middletown alreadybuys rom Winchester. Anderson& Associates was recently hired

by the towns jointly to do a easi-bility study to determine wheth-er a line can be brought romStrasburg to Middletown. MarkGunderson, a project managerat Anderson & Associates, statedthat he is looking into whether ornot there are easements, right-oways, or other transportationmethods to deliver the water. Healso is calculating the construc-tion cost o the project. Te studyis being paid or jointly by Mid-dletown and Strasburg. However,most o the cost to Middletown isbeing paid or by the developers

rom the east side o I-81.Te second thing Middletown

did was to put together the Re-liance Road Steering Commit-tee (RRSC). Te Committeemembers are Mayor Brown,John Blaisdell, Jr., Councilmem-ber, and Fred Wharton, Planner,rom Middletown and two mem-bers o the Board o Supervisorso Frederick County Gary A. Lo-ton, Back Creek District, and BillM. Ewing, Oppequon District,as well as Eric Lawrence, the Di-rector o Planning and Develop-ment or Frederick County. TeCommittee agreed that Frederick

County would prepare a land useplan, because Middletown didnot have the resources to so.

Mr. Lawrences research re-vealed that Frederick County hasno present plans to develop thesouth end o the county, whichincorporates the land in question.However, Mr. Lawrence dratedhis land use plan in keeping withthe development plans beingimplemented in the north o theCounty by the Winchester-Fred-erick County Economic Develop-ment Commission . He also metwith the Virginia Department

o ransportation (VDO) toevaluate the transportation net-work. RRSC members met withthe land owners to urther under-stand their development plansor the land in question. A surveywas done o the water and sewersystem in relation to urther development. Aerial photographswere taken.

Te plan as drated is a con-ceptual plan, designed to guideland use decisions over the nextseveral decades. Any rezoning othe land will be handled by Fred-erick County. Te Countys sole

mandate is that no new develop-ments can be built that will causethe County to have to build a newschool.

Te Land In Question

Te parcels o land in questionare currently mostly undevel-oped. Tere are 35 acres zonedB, which allows or businessdevelopment. An additional 8acres are zoned RA, which allowsor one home on each ve acre lot.Portions o the acreage containwoodland, ponds and pastures.Te sole business development is

the Exxon station immediately othe northbound exit o I-81. Teland is owned by om Glass, whoowns land northeast o Relianceand I-81; Bob Claytor and WalterAiken, who own land southeasto Reliance Road and I-81; andRobbie Molden, who owns landeast o Walter Aiken.

Te Land Use Plan

Te land use plans calls or 8acres adjacent to I-81 or uses thatcan serve the traveling public, i.e.,hotels, gas stations, restaurants.

Tis parcel is southeast o the I-81 northbound exit, and containsthe existing Exxon station, whichalready receives Middletown wa-ter and sewer. Tis area already iszoned B.

An additional160 acres, whichare both north and south o Re-liance Road, are intended ortechnology usage. Te Win-chester-Frederick County Eco-nomic Development Commis-sion describes technology use asAdvanced Security, Assembly,Business Services, and Lie Sci-ences. Required zoning is OM

Oce Manuacturing, so theland in question would need to berezoned beore any developmentcould occur.

Te remainder o the parcel inthe study area was not includedin the land use plan and presum-ably will remain RA zoning. May-or Brown said this land could bedeveloped into a retirement com-munity in the uture, but thereare no current plans to build.

Te ransportation Network

VDO is condent that the on/o ramps to I-81 can accommo-

date any additional trac that theproposed land use will bring toMiddletown. However, in order

to not Stephens Ctown, the land use or moving Bucktonruns immediately peast o Middletownsuggests moving Bto the east where itwith Reliance Roaers on the current Bwould need to driveance Road and looTe plan also callc light at the newo Buckton Road Road, and one, i noa-bouts: one at the

How to Makethe Perfect Gravy

When your turkey is done, you havetwo kinds of liquids in the pan: an oilyliquid (the melted fat) and a wateryliquid (the meat and vegetable juices).You want to incorporate both of theseliquids into your gravy. The trick is toget them to mix into a smooth, homo-geneous mixture no lumps, no pud-dles of grease.

Flour contains certain proteins thatform a sticky substance gluten when they get wet. If you just dumpsome flour into the pan, these pro-teins will get together with the waterto form a glutinous goop that the oilcant penetrate. Youll then wind upwith little lumps of dough swimmingin pools of grease.

Make sure to mix the flour first withsome of the fat, which you have pre-viously separated from the watery juices. That way, the individual,microscopic particles of flour becomecoated with oil, which the watery juic-es cant penetrate to gum things up.Result? Later, when you add the juic-es, supplemented as necessary withbroth or other watery liquids, these

individual, oil-coated flour particlesbecome widely scattered. And thatsjust what you want, because the thick-ening agent and the fat it carries areuniformly dispersed throughout thewatery juices, giving you a smooth,uniformly thickened consistency.

You must keep the amounts of flourand fat just about equal. Use one partflour and one part fat to every eightparts of liquid juices and/or stock.Mix the flour with the fat, cook it a bitto brown it, slowly stir in the wateryliquids, and simmer to let the flour do

its thickening job.Gravy too thin? Sim

reduced; or thicken arrowroot or cornstarcdissolved in cold water,into the boiling sauce.

Too thick? Thin with wLumpy? Put it through

er.No taste? Use salt an

sauce, more pan drippstock, or port, Madeira oLooks muddy, not glo

stock or water, simmeoften.

Unthickened gravy oemulsify? Skim off afat, then add more stoto emulsify. If the fat iing, take it off the heat atablespoon heavy creamfor every 1 cup gravy.

developments north and south oMiddletown on Route 11, 18,000gdp o water that it can makeavailable to the development easto I-81. Te plan notes that thisavailable water could acilitate

the development o the 8 acresalready zoned B. However, inorder or additional developmentto take place, Middletown willneed to secure more water, andthe conveyance system under I-81 will need to be upgraded. Teplan suggests that technologyuses that require limited watercould be added to the technologypark until additional water is ob-tained.

Te Middletown wastewatertreatment acility, which was re-cently upgraded as required bylaw, enables the acility to treatapproximately 400,000 gpd. Teacility is currently operating at30% capacity, so Middletown isalready able to support the devel-opment rom the sewer side.

Reasons or the Plan

According to Mayor Brownand others, the reasons or theland use plan and the develop-ment in general are multiple.Brown stressed that the devel-opment will add needed jobs toMiddletown at all skill levels. Heis passionate that, in addition to job creation, the plan will allow

or an orderly development oclean businesses. John Blaisdell,Jr. added that Middletown can-

not aord to remain a town with-out additional revenue sources.He added that a land use plan willprevent pell-mell development,and will give Middletown morecontrol over the development.

Te additional tax revenue couldbe Middletowns salvation.

Mr. Claytor told the audiencethat he grew up here. He runsgood businesses, that employ lo-cals. He is not a developer thatis coming to town and leaving.Te commercial land will be developed i the numbers warrantdevelopment, and Mr. Claytorwould like to help the own oMiddletown by buying water andsewer, and providing additionaltax revenues or the town. At themoment, Mr. Claytor is waitingor the water easibility study tobe completed beore he makesany decisions.

Opposition to the Plan

Opposition to the plan waserce. Middletown residentscomplained about their continu-ally rising water bills. Tey de-manded to know who was payingor the water line to be run romStrasburg. According to MayorBrown, the developers will, i ea-sible, pay or the pipeline betweenMiddletown and Strasburg. Headded that the town can thensell water to interested parties

between Middletown and Stras-burg, with the prot going backto the town. According to Mr.

Lawrence, the developers will berequired to move Brockton Roadas part o their proers.

Residents worried about the ad-ditional trac, any additional ex-pense, dangerous trac already

on I-81 between Route 66 andthe scales, and the loss o greenspace. Residents thought it wastoo much. Tat the town wastaking a build it and they willcome approach. Others com-plained that the development,whether it takes place now or in40 years, will disrupt the entirecommunity. And what i no busi-nesses come? Or they come andthen go under like so many areabusinesses.

Most appeared worried aboutthe loss o Middletowns hometown eel, noting that, or themost part, time has let Middle-town intact. No one wants to seethe Middletown exit o I-81 be-come like Strasburg or Stephens

City. Residents sawere happy to driveor south to buy neceMayor Brown said hdriving 10 miles routhumbtacks, one

him to move.

diers.

Te point is that the programhas become a chain o sorts, do-ing good works regardless oreligious aliation. In act, theEastern Star is a club o mostlywomen and the Spurmont Chap-ter is a sub-group o the EasternStar. It is not a church nor dothey belong to a religious group.Te good works that the oster-ing program have ignited includeeveryone and exclude no one.

Recently, the Spurmont Chap-ter received a visit rom one otheir ormer adopted soldiersduring their dinner meeting.Cory McHugh, great-grandson o

Lee Hampton (a Masonic Stras-burg member) was en route romhis base at Ft. Eustis, GA to hisnew home base in Fort Story, Vir-ginia Beach and was granted per-mission to take leave by his ser-geant to attend the groups earlyTanksgiving meal.

Cory, along with his ather Gary,his wie Maria and their our yearold son Justin attended the din-ner specically to speak aboutwhat the program has meant tohim and to speak or those whohave personally beneted romit.

During Corys deployment in

Iraq he said that he was over-

whelmed by the generosity in re-ceiving the shipped boxes ull omuch needed items. It was likeChristmas, even though it wasMay! he said.

Cory said he and a riend sat inthe middle o the oor unwrap-ping supplies and then posted apicture on the wall placing theboxes beneath the photo or hisunit to enjoy. He revealed thatcanned oods, socks, sunglassesand toiletries were in high de-mand; though o course thoseitems were needed during hotsummer weather, and other highdemand needs replace some o

those as the weather turns cold.Cory and his amily traveling

to meet with the small chaptermeant a lot to those who havebeen working to provide, sinceit put a ace with a name and

gave the group a tangible insightinto the validity o the Foster aSoldier program, how much itmeans to the troops and the con-nection it has made.

Some do not support the war inthe political sense and some mayeel ambivalent about it whileothers eel strongly towards it.No matter what belie systemor political side one chooses tostand on, the truth o the matteris that these troops are our own.Teyre related to us in one wayor another, we know someonewho is there, we know a relativewhos serving or we are simplytouched by the idea that relatedor not, most o these idealistictroops are just kids.

Lou Ann states that she was atrst detached rom the war andhad no idea what was going onother than what she learned romthe media. However, getting in-volved in the program opened hereyes to the war and its eects.

As ate would have it, the e-ects came even closer to LouAnn when her step-son Josh,serving in the Marines, was de-ployed with his unit rom CampLejeune. Hearing the command-er o that unit tell us that o

the unit would not return, madeit righteningly real to her.

Watching the eight buses leaveand realizing that meant two othe buses would not come backand then hearing Cory McHughs

account (at the dinner) taught mehow important the Foster a Sol-dier program is to our enlisted.

Hearing Cory sathe program becaumany and seeing ing o support romcommunity and bucreated a relentles

supporter in Lou Aothers.

She continued,

CommunAs o November 19th, 30 boxes o donated items were shipped to the programs eightostered soldiers. Tese eight soldiers who will receive the boxes will distribute the manyitems around, its or any and all o them says Lou Ann.

Montgomery Ward, the Chicago-based department-store chain, hadbeen buying and giving away chil-drens coloring books as Christmasgifts for their customers for years, butin 1939 decided to create its own bookto save money. The retailer gave theassignment to one of its employees,34-year old copywriter Robert L. May,who penned the story of Rudolph theRed-Nosed Reindeer. Some 2.4 mil-lion copies were handed out that year.

May drew on the story The UglyDuckling and also on his own back-ground (he was often taunted as achild for being shy, small and frail)to create the story of the misfit rein-deer. Several names were considered,including Rollo (too cheerful) andReginald (too British), before Maysettled on Rudolph as his reindeersname. Concerns about Rudolphs rednose (an image associated with drunk-ards) also were overcome.

Written as a poem in the meter ofTwas the Night Before Christmas,May tested the story on his 4-year olddaughter Barbara, who loved it.

At about the same time that Maywas creating Rudolph, his wife died,leaving him deeply in debt with medi-cal bills. However, he was able topersuade Montgomery Wards corpo-rate president, Sewell Avery, to turnthe copyright over to him in January

1947, ensuring Mays financial secu-rity. He quit his copywriting job in1951 but would later return to Mont-gomery Ward, where he worked untilhis retirement in 1971. May died in1976.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeerwas printed commercially in 1947,and in 1948 a nine-minute cartoonof the story was shown in theaters.When Mays brother-in-law, song-writer Johnny Marks, wrote the lyricsand melody for the song Rudolph the

Red-Nosed Reindeer,phenomenon was born.recorded by Gene Autrshot to No. 1 on the chmillion copies that yearRed-Nosed Reindeer wbecome one of the best-mas songs of all time, sBing Crosbys White C

A little over a month ago hewas traveling second place in aconvoy when the lead vehicle ranover an IED (Improvised Explo-sive Device also known as a road-side bomb). Ater a helicopterarrived to evacuate the wounded,Marks unit came under attackon all sides. As they attempted toall back into cover and regroup,Mark stepped on an IED. Te

When Branch Jordan died in

Many sick and wounded sol-diers came to Jordan Springs ormedical treatment, especiallyrom the Sharpsburg (Antietam),Gettysburg and Winchesterbattleelds. Soldiers who died
