Frederick County Report
Firefghting is about as selfess
an endeavor as I can think of. Its
a duty riddled with risk but as
necessary as night is to day, quietly
conducted by men and women
whod just assume you not know
who they are behind their masks
and body armor. Well, quiet-ish,
anyhow; the trucks are loud. But
thats so you get the hell out of the
way so they can hose down the
tool shed your neighbor grilled
with his hot dogs. When (not if )
that happens, who you gonna call?
And if you say Ghostbusters, this
paper will spontaneously combust
and char your retinas, rendering
you comically unable to phone
the guys you really need. Hope
your insurance is up to date. Just
sayin.
I kidkind of. Chances are, ev-
eryone will require the services of
the hook and ladder at some point
in their liveskinda like lawyers,
though they usually arrive after
the fres out.
Chief William Billy Moreland
knows what it takes to keep a fre
station up and running. Moreland
oversees South End Fire Depart-
ment in Winchester, one of four
volunteer frehouses in the city,
and for a time, he was a worried
man. Recent years have brought
uncertainty to the doorstep of not
just South End but the frefghting
community as a whole in Win-
chester. Money to cover operating
costs was drying up with uncom-
fortable rapidity, making guys like
Moreland begrudgingly entertain
the notion of doing with one less
frehouse. It didnt come to that,
Moreland says, because the City
stepped in when called upon and
did the right thing.
Ive been here for eighteen
years, he says, and this was as
close to a crisis situation as Ive
seen. We didnt want to ask the
City for a loan, but after careful
consideration, we realized its
what we had to do if were gonna
continue operating. Moreland is
referring to a $150,000 loan that
South End received from the City,
a loan engineered largely by inter-
im City Manager Craig Gerhart,
whom Moreland is quick to thank.
He stood up for us, made sure we
got what we needed and arranged
for it to be paid back over a period
of twenty years, says Moreland.
What they needed was cash to
revitalize a building that knocked
on the door of dilapidation. Our
station house is really showing
its age, he says. Te roof leaks.
Our HVAC is almost thirty years
old and operates like it. Upstairs
where frefghters eat and sleep
when theyre on duty, we found
mold in the ceiling tiles, which ob-
viously isnt a good thing for peo-
ple to be breathing. Te HVAC
repairs are underway, he said, and
most repair work is expected to be
completed by springtime.
I think its important for people
to know, too, that the money we
received, it didnt impact the citys
budget in any way. But the month-
ly stipend frehouses receive com-
bined with our primary fundraiser,
which is bingo, wasnt bringing
in enough anymore. Bingo? Sure
enough, every Monday and Friday
evening; turns out theres real
money to be made on books and
early birds and quickies. But only
if people play, which in the past
hasnt been an issue, says More-
land: The economic downturn
afects everyone. Less disposable
income, less people doing things
like coming to play bingo. Which
presents a very real dilemma for
stations like South End, who rely
on that resource as a means of
sustaining their operation. Other
revenue reservoirs, like self-stor-
age business and rental properties
managed by the station, provide
a boost, but its bingo that has
proven to be their Old Faithful.
Dont feel bad; I wouldnt have
guessed it either.
South End also received a grant
from the Virginia State Fire Chiefs
Association, a grant being used for
recruiting and retaining new hires.
But even after the grant, the sti-
pends, the rental properties, and
the say-it-with-me bingomaybe
youre getting an idea of just how
costly it is to keep a station like
South End operating, a point
Moreland is passionate about:
We received over 2500 calls last
year. Were the busiest of all four
stations in the city. We cant just
shut down. If we did, the overfow
to the other firehouses would
jam up everything. Its the classic
trickle-down efect, and not in a
good way.

Imagine delicate fowers cas-
cading over a colorful landscape,
not only fabulous to look at, but
delicious to eat!
Since August of 2011, Farozan
Jivraj of Cupcake Novelties has
been making and selling intricate-
ly-detailed decorated pastries in
her state-licensed and inspected
home kitchen in Stephens City.
Customers tell me that their
guests could not believe that the
fower bouquet was actually made
out of cupcakes and meant to be
eaten! she said happily.
She brings eight years experi-
ence to her business as a former
Pastry Chef at the Hilton in
Mumbai, India. Tere she created
delicate fne pastries, chocolate
and gourmet desserts, elaborate
chocolate sculptures and fondant
molding. Her qualifcations also
include a bachelors degree in
Pastry and Confectionery Arts
from the Culinary Academy of
India in Hyderabad, where she is
from.
After she married her Ameri-
can-born husband, she came to
join him and his family in south-
ern California. When he got a job
in Washington, D.C., they moved
here.
I like the area- its culturally
diferent from California, and I
like the snow, the scenery and the
culture, she said.
As with many chefs and bakers,
her love of the craft started as a
child when helping her mother in
the kitchen.
From the start I saw that I liked
the detailed work, she said.
Since Virginia has cottage
laws that allow sales of home-
cooked food in their homes if
properly inspected, she is able
to succeed as her own boss. A
separate work space, pantry and
cake studio for decorating have
been set up in her kitchen.
I am a one-woman business. I
do the baking, designing, delivery
and the cleaning too! she said.
Her next busy times will be
Valentines Day and the wedding
season, for which she has cre-
ated romantic, springtime treats.
Brides are already getting orders
in for their weddings for the rest
of the year. She already has a wed-
ding order for next December, but
she can take orders for a wedding
with as little as two months ad-
vance notice.
Im making sugar fowers now-
peonies and roses-for cupcakes
and cake pops, she said, and
added, Im looking forward to
the upcoming wedding season
where people can display edible
cupcake flower arrangements
and cake pop bouquets as center-
pieces that double up as dessert
too.
The flower-topped cupcakes
and pops work well for the brides
and mothers-of the brides who
look for something unique for
weddings and favors for bridal
showers. Since cupcakes dont get
cut like a cake, they retain their
own individual decorations.
Tey can order several tradi-
tional and non-traditional cus-
tom gourmet delicacies from her
website. Besides the cupcake and
cake pop bouquets, she fashions:
cakes, cupcakes and cupcake and
cake pop towers for birthday and
special occasions; wedding cakes;
cupcakes in jars; cupcake pods;
cupcake rolls; cake trufes and
three-tier mini wedding cakes.
And for something really unusual,
she ofers cupcake kabobs.
I plan and design with custom-
ers to see what I can do for them,
she said.
Everything is made-to-order
and made from scratch, with
organic and locally-sourced in-
gredients. Farozan buys organic
fruit from farmers markets and
gets butter and milk directly from
farms. Along with all of that,
she makes her own vanilla. She

Tere is a blues band in Win-
chester called Terry Oates and
the Mudcats. If you havent heard
them, you will soon. Because
theyre damn good. Believe me
now and thank me later.
I spoke with the bands name-
sake not long ago about their music
and the fortuitous circumstances
that spawned their meeting; about
playing guitar; about the blues and
about songwriting and what its
like to drive a motorcycle across
the U.S. To hear Terry tell it, the
Mudcats could be called a happy
accident, the result of opportu-
nity and talent converging at just
the right time. Te place was the
Winchester Blues House, where
he was Stage Manager for over
six years. Te higher-ups at the
Blues House asked if I could put
together a band in ten days. Te
idea was that wed play the single
show, just a one-of kind of thing.
So Terry called on friends hed
played with before and recruited
new bandmates from the Blues
House and assembled a 9-piece
group for the show. Only three of
us had played in bands before, but
we had so much fun playing that
show, and the chemistry was there.
So we stayed together and started
calling ourselves Terry Oates and
the Mudcats.
That was a little over three
years ago, and the current lineup
of seven members have all been
hand-picked by Terry, who aside
from his lead guitar and singing
duties also selects and arranges
new songs for the band. While
Terry handles much of the lead
vocal work, hes not hesitant to
pass the mic, and its not unusual
for three, four, or even fve singers
to step up on any given night. I
look for versatility in the songs,
who might sound good singing a
particular song, he says. If I hear
something I think is a good ft for
someone in the band, Ill bring it in.
From there, its on them to step up
to the plate.
If it sounds like Terry has high
standards for his Mudcats, both
those with their colors and pros-
pects alike, its only because he
demands the same dedication
from himself. Tis is a guy whos
self-taught, save for some classi-
cal guitar lessons at Shenandoah
Conservatory; who picked up a
guitar over thirty-fve years ago
and learned chords and scales the
only tried-and-true way there is:
practicing. After that, hed practice
some more. I went to the Shenan-
doah Conservatory and got a piano
book, with the scales and all that,
then applied that to the guitar. He
says this with nary a hint of irony,
the way Id say my car needed gas,
so I stopped and got some. Being a
lowly three chord-savvy campfre
picker, I fnd the idea to be as in-
timidating as it is inspiring; Terry,
it seems, just analyzed what was
necessary to not just play the guitar
but play it welland did it. Years
ago, he says, I won a talent schol-
arship and wanted to go to school
to study music. I tried for a year to
get grants and loans to make up the
diference, but the money wasnt
there. So I kept playing.
Terrys playing, and the funda-
mental mojo of the Mudcats, is
the blues, so theres the obligatory
nods to genre-defning predeces-
sors, from Delta and Chicago blues
icons like Muddy Waters and
Muddy Waters to the stylized hy-
brids of Hendrix and Clapton and
of course, Robert Johnson, whose
Tree chords and the truth is only the beginning
Terry Oates, who turned 50 in December, says that
the blues is the foundation of everything we do as a
band. (Photo Bob Blair)

Their debut album draws on the band members indi-
vidual infuences and backgrounds, combining them
with all different types of the blues.
bartering of his soul to the Devil in
return for absurdly dexterous gui-
tar playing is the bedrock of blues
music (and perhaps all of recorded
pop music). Actually, says Terry,
the song Tellin Lies on Highway
started as an acoustic lick when me
and a friend were discussing how
Johnson wrote the turnarounds in
his songs. Another track, Fisher
of Men, was built on a bluesy, Jimi
Hendrix-inspired rif, with lyrics
Terry wrote after a movie hed
watched got the phrase stuck in his
head. And Crux Alley, thats about
a real street here in Winchester. Us
kids used to go down there, it was
kind of a sketchy place, so wed say
put your money in your shoes.
True story.
So whats been the most fun so
far? Weve accomplished a lot in
a relatively short amount of time.
After we debuted the album at
the Winchester Blues House, we
played alongside the likes of Jimmy
Vaughn and Devon Allman (Stevie
Rays brother and Greggs son,
respectively); we even came back
as a headliner with them. Stuf like
that, its great. We just love to play.
Hell, Ive been doing it for this long,
and theres always something else
to learn, something I havent tried
yet. And while Terry Oates and
the Mudcats incorporate covers in
their live show, theres no feeling,
Terry says, like keeping the crowd
on their feet with our own stuf.
Nothin like it.

By Jonathan Lucci
In the past week, the race for the
Republican nomination for President
has completely changed, flipping
the expectations of political experts
on its head and shocking many in
the party. Newt Gingrich, the for-
mer Speaker of the House whose
campaign had seemed to collapse
last year stunned frontrunner Mitt
Romney with a double digit vic-
tory in the South Carolina primary.
While the defeat had been presaged
by polls and was therefore somewhat
expected, the margin of victory was
both surprising and extremely prob-
lematic for Romneys campaign.
It had been obvious in the days
leading up to election in South Caro-
lina that the entire dynamic of the
race was changing rapidly. Romney
had previously held double digit
leads in South Carolina and more
than a twenty point lead nationally
in the Gallup tracking poll. Ten ev-
erything changed, as Gingrich rattled
of several debate performances that
seemed to consolidate conservative
support around him. In a dizzying
several days, Gingrich pulled ahead
in South Carolina polls, ate into
Romneys national lead, and received
the endorsement of Texas Governor
Rick Perry, whose decision to drop
out helped move more conserva-
tive voters to Gingrichs column.
And that was only the usual political
inside baseball. Two nights before
the election, Gingrichs former wife
gave an interview on ABC talking
about the details of their divorce, in-
cluding the accusation that Gingrich
asked for an open marriage. Even as
this scandal rocked the campaign,
Gingrichs numbers continued to
surge in South Carolina. A key mo-
ment came at a CNN debate days
before the election when moderator
John King opened with a question
about Gingrichs former wifes ac-
cusations. Gingrich railed on the
King about opening a debate for the
Presidency with a matter like this,
before denying that the accusations
were truthful. He was awarded with
an explosion of applause.
While it would seem that these
kinds of accusations would have
doomed a campaign for the Repub-
lican nomination, particularly days
before a deeply conservative state
like South Carolina voted, Gingrichs
attack on the media and his savaging
of Mitt Romneys moderate image
swept him to victory and now has
him in the lead nationally according
to Gallup. For a year or more, Rom-
ney has been the assumed frontrun-
ner, but that has now most defnitely
changed, as the candidates move to
the next battleground: Florida.
Te Sunshine State is ultra-expen-
sive to advertise in, particularly when
compared to the previous primary
and caucus states. This will give
Romney an advantage as he tries to
recover, stop the bleeding, and beat
back Gingrichs surge. Recent polls
in Florida though show Gingrich
already in the lead, despite a deluge
of TV ad money already spent by
Romney there. What this seems
to indicate is that the conservative
movement that makes up the Re-
publican base has decided against
Romney and that decision seems to
be hardening to the point that money
alone will not save the former Mas-
sachusetts governor. While Senator
Rick Santorum is still in the race, he
lacks the support or fnancial power
to really hinder Gingrich. And Con-
gressman Ron Paul, who does have
significant resources, is likely to
continue getting the level of support
he has achieved in earlier primaries
but not any more. So in a way the
election has become a two-man race,
the thing Romneys campaign always
feared and his detractors always
said was why he would not win the
nomination.
Still the Republican Party estab-
lishment is reported to be almost
universally terrifed at the idea of
Newt Gingrich as the nominee. Tey
will likely become more aggressive
in their support of Romney, but it
may be too late for another more

moderate candidate to get on the bal-
lot and the establishment may have
underestimated the raw power of the
Tea Party movement they all claim to
love so much. Tea Party voters may
decide to vote for Gingrich, seen by
many as more of a true conservative
to Romney. If they do, one thing
seems sure. President Obamas
chances of victory the fall will surge
dramatically to say the least. It still
seems likely that Romney will pull of
the comeback and win the nomina-
tion, if only because the chances of
Gingrich defeating President Obama
seem so low. However, having been
wounded and with a base that in-
creasingly distrusts and dislikes him,
Romney may also have a hard time
unseating a President many people
thought was doomed to defeat.
One last thing to note though,
is that with Gingrichs victory it is
almost certain there will be a com-
petitive campaign going on when
the Virginia primary rolls around in
March. Gingrichs failure to get on
the ballot and compete for this states
delegates may be even more crucial
than frst thought.
Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell
has endorsed Romney.
At press time, it was announced
that Newt Gingrichs SuperPac
planned to spend $6 million to run
ads in Florida, helped by a $5 million
contribution from a wealthy donor.

report.
By Jonathan Lucci
Much to the heartbreak of local
Baltimore fans, the Ravens nar-
rowly missed their opportunity to
go to Indianapolis for the Super
Bowl. Despite having what many
NFL experts believed to be the
most talented team in the league,
the Ravens could not defeat Tom
Brady and the New England
Patriots in the AFC champion-
ship on Sunday. The Patriots
are headed to yet another Super
Bowl, this one a rematch with the
New York Giants who handed
them a Super Bowl defeat four
years ago. Baltimore fans will
have to turn their attention the
NFL draft and wait for next year
for an opportunity to win another
Super Bowl.
The Ravens may have lost
but they certainly went down
swinging. Also, the normally
Super Man-like Tom Brady did
not play like his normal self on
Sunday, something that he admit-
ted publicly as soon as the game
was over. Indeed it was not the
vaunted New England ofensive
attack that doomed the Ravens,
it was the much maligned New
England defense and ultimately
themselves.
Te Ravens actually led the Pa-
triots in the fourth quarter, until
Tom Brady eliminated that lead
with a daring dive over a churn-
ing group of struggling linemen
into the end zone from the one
yard line. The Ravens found
themselves down by 3 points in
the fnal minute of the game, but
battled their way down the feld
and into scoring position. Joe
Flacco threw a pass into the end
zone, which hit the hands of re-
ceiver Lee Evans but was knocked
out by a Patriot defender. Tat
touchdown would likely have sent
them to the Super Bowl, but it
seemed that overtime was at least
on the horizon as normally reli-
able feld goal kicker Billy Cundif
came out on the feld. Apparently
rushed, he hooked the kick to
the left and the Patriots sidelines
exploded.
Despite their mistakes in the
fnal moments of the game and
in spite of the devastating feel-
ing the Ravens have much to be
proud of and look forward to.
Quarterback Joe Flacco, while far
from perfect in his performance
defnitely answered a lot of unan-
swered questions about his abil-
ity to perform in big moments.
When the crucial play arrived,
Flacco delivered. Sometimes a
quarterback cant control a great
play made by an opponents sec-
ondary. Flacco is, it seems, the
elite quarterback the Ravens have
always needed.
In the of season, the Ravens
will likely make signing running
back Ray Rice a major priority.
Rice was a huge reason the Ra-
vens came as close as they did to
going to the Super Bowl and is
an unrestricted free agent. Joe
Flacco will be back and the Ra-
vens defense should be its usual
suffocating self. As far as the
draft, the biggest downside to go-
ing deep into the playofs is that
the Ravens will select 29th overall
in this springs NFL draft. Tey
can take heart in the fact their
bitter rivals and perennial divi-
sion competitors, the Pittsburgh
Steelers, are currently way over
the salary cap and will have many
difcult decisions to make about
who comes back to their team.

Diversions
Diversions
It was 20th-century American critic
John Leonard who made the follow-
ing sage observation: To be capable
of embarrassment is the beginning of
moral consciousness. Honor grows from
qualms.
Youve probably never heard of the

Spanish village of Lijar, located in the
south of that country. This village,
though, was involved in a nearly 100-year
war that lasted well into the 20th century.
It seems that in 1883, Alfonso XII, the
king of Spain, made a state visit to Paris
and received a less-than-royal welcome.
Led by mayor Don Miguel Garcia Saez,
the citizens of Lijar, after hearing that
their monarch had been insulted and
possible accosted by mobs, declared
war on France. Tough there were no
casualties -- not even any gunfre -- the
war lasted until 1981. Tat was when
the town council ruled that it would
end hostilities with France thanks to the
warm welcome King Juan Carlos of Spain
received in France in 1976.
Te town of Adamant, Vermont, was

once named Sodom. Te townspeople
voted to change the name in 1905.
Te frst portable computer was made

available to the public in 1975. In this
instance, however, portable was used
as a relative term; the IBM 5100 weighed
55 pounds.
Only 5 percent of American men

report that they feel satisfed with their
looks. With women, its only 1 percent.
In 2008, a study was conducted in the

United Kingdom to determine what, if
any, efect the consumption of tomatoes
had on the human bodys reaction to
sun exposure. Te university students
enrolled in the study who consumed
the equivalent of about fve tomatoes
per day were 33 percent less likely to
get sunburned than those who ate no
tomatoes.
Tought for the Day: Several excuses

are always less convincing than one.
-- Aldous Huxley

Your Familys
Health History
When it comes to leaving something
for the next generations, theres some-
thing even more valuable than albums
with carefully identifed photos -- and
that is your familys health history.
Te U.S. surgeon general has created
the My Family Health Portrait, an on-
line tool that helps organize the specifcs
of your familys health. Te potential
benefts to the next generations are big.
Tere are certain diseases that can run
in the family, like diabetes, heart disease
and cancer. The risk for high blood
pressure can show up through the gen-
erations. By knowing what diseases are
common in the family, the generations
that follow will be able to guard against
diseases that might have a hereditary
basis. Teir doctors will be able to as-
sess which diagnostic and screening
tests to run at various times based on
family history.
If youd like to create your own family
health fle, go online to https://familyhi-
story.hhs.gov/ to access the online tool.
Youll start with baseline questions like
your age, gender, whether you were
born a twin, and your height and weight.
Youll move into the section on diseases
or conditions you have or have had in
the past.
Ten it gets a bit tricky when you
have to list your relatives. Its set up
like a family tree: You start with your
mother and father, if possible, and what
you know about their health. Ideally,
you can gather information for a total
of three generations.
At the end you can save the fle and
update it later as you gather more infor-
mation, or print out what you have and
share it with your family.

Stamp Collection
Q:
I have a stamp collection that
I am interested in selling. I
understand that unless a stamp is
rare or unique, it is not worth much
more than face value. Do cancelled
stamps have any retail value, and
will I get a better deal with a small,
local trader versus a larger com-
mercial dealer? Curt, via email
A:
I will partially answer your
question by sharing a per-
sonal experience. My mother was a
stamp collector, and when she died
several years ago I inherited three
of her albums. She specialized in
U.S. commemoratives and first-day
issues. After showing her collection
to several dealers, it was determined
that her stamps were not worth much
more than face value.
As with most collectibles, there
are always exceptions to the rule. In
mothers albums were several Civil
War cancellations, and they were
somewhat valuable. To make a long
story short, I am using most of her
stamps for personal postage since they
are not likely to increase in value.
My advice is to get some of the bet-
ter price guides and carefully examine
your collection. I realize this is time-
consuming, but an educated consumer
is better prepared to make decisions.
An Internet site I have found helpful is
www.theswedishtiger.com/ID.html.
You also can order price guides from
this company.
***
Q:
I have a wire recorder that
was originally made for the
military. We have taken it to the
Antique Roadshow, and they had
no idea of how much it is worth.
Can you help me? Anita, Albu-
querque, N.M.
A:
Wire recorders were once an
example of cutting-edge tech-
nology, and many of the early models
were made by two companies, Web-
ster and Silvertone. The early record-
ing devices were, indeed, used by the
military during the mid-1940s. Wire
recorders are not very collectible, and
most sell in the $45 to $100 range.
***
Q:
I have a Willkie campaign
button that shows a bucking
donkey and the phrase Ill Bet My
Ass. It is in fair condition. Does it
have any value? Lee, via email
A:
Your button from Wendell
Willkies failed 1940 presiden-
tial campaign is worth in the $10 to
$20 range, depending on condition.

Dog Hates Bathtub
DEAR PAWS CORNER: My
German shepherd, Silky, is 10
years old and has developed hip
dysplasia, which makes her pretty
uncomfortable. She avoids slip-
pery floors and she hates the tub,
but I need to give her a bath. Is
there a way I can do this better to
keep her comfortable? Jack T.,
Oklahoma City
DEAR JACK: There are a few ways
to help Silky stay comfortable while
being bathed. First, try placing a large,
wet towel in the tub that she can stand
on to gain traction. Lift her into the
high-sided tub rather than make her
jump in. Shepherds are large dogs, so
if need be, work with a second person
and tandem lift her, with one of you
cradling under her chest and the other
cradling her midsection and then
tucking the other arm between her
back legs and supporting her belly.
A step-in shower is an even better
option, if you have one. Again, put
down a wet towel so that she feels
secure standing or sitting.
In warm weather, you could set up
an inflatable kiddie pool and fill it
with warm water. This gives big dogs
enough room to sit or even lie down
during their bath, and they can just
walk into it over the low sides.
During the bath itself its important
to work fast. Keep Silkys collar and
leash on so you can hold her still as
you wet her down (either with warm
water scooped in a cup or using a
sprayer attachment), add soap (only
soap formulated for use on dogs),
then rinse. Talk soothingly through
the whole process. Once complete,
lift her out of the tub onto a nonslip
rug and towel-dry her fur, then give
her lots of praise and a treat.
