Getting ready to kiss the cow
By Sue Golden
Frederick County Report
Gainesboro Elementary
School principal Kathy Weiss is
getting ready to kiss a cow. She
is even practicing. According
to Ms. Weiss, she is ready to do
whatever it takes to help her
students. Part of that is the Race
for Education fundraiser.
Ms. Weis said the fundraiser
was conceived after school let
out last year. Te school needs
to increase the technology in the
building. Te school wants to
purchase smartboards, netbook
computers, student response
systems and math manipula-
tives. Te goal is to raise $20,000
by the end of the school year. If
the money is raised, Ms. Weiss
will publicly kiss a cow.
It appears that a lot of people
want to see the cow kissing.
Over $10,000 has already been
raised, and the money is still
pouring in. Ms. Weiss is certain
the money will be raised, and
soon.
One of the recent fundrais-
ers was held at the school. Stu-
dents wrote letters to family and
friends looking for sponsors. Te
entire student body, as well as
families and friends, took to the
track for an hour. Students had
there card punched for every
lap they took around the track.
Tey then could go back to their
sponsors for a per lap donation.
Ms. Weiss was astounded by
the calls from grandparents and
others who called for directions.
Younger siblings urged the big-
ger ones on. Tere also are cor-
porate and individual sponsors.
Te kids are all excited to see
the cow kissing. Tey fantasize
about the cow Ms. Weiss is go-
ing to kiss, and joke about how
much manure the cow will have
on it.
As for Ms. Weiss who is mar-
ried to a farmer, and has lived on
a farm, she takes it all in stride.
Te Race for Education has it all:
exercise, education and commu-
nity. Her job is rewarding, but a
day like Race for Education day,
is the fruit. Start puckering.
Friends and families all helped to make the Race for
Education fundraiser a success.

Girls can be frefghters too
By Sue Golden
Frederick County Report
First graders at Redbud Run Ele-
mentary School have been study-
ing safety rules in class. Tey were
treated to an extensive tour of a
fre truck and an ambulance. Ten
they were given an explanation
of how a fre truck and an ambu-
lance work. Te volunteers of
the Greenwood Fire and Rescue
Squad designed the program to
teach fre safety to the frst graders
and enjoy working with the kids.
Mike Robbins explained the
diferent parts of the fre truck.
Robbins compared the truck to
a transformer. Te ladder on the
truck is automatic, with lots of
fashing red lights for safety. Te
automatic ladder helps the fre-
fghters get heavy equipment
deployed without hurting their
backs or having to climb on top
of the truck. Te side panel of the
truck opened up to show tools of
all sizes stored. Te tools, some
recognizable, and some not, were
taken out of the truck for demon-
strations.
Some of the tricks of the trade
are a lot less transformer-like. For
example, the bag of kitty litter on
the truck is used to help clean up
spills.
Tabi Luttrell showed of the
ambulance, and its equipment.
Her medic bag came out to show
some of the things an emergency
medical technician can use at the
scene.
But the best part of the morn-
ing, according to the kids, was
a trip inside the fre truck. Each
student was given a hand to climb
up into the back seats of the truck,
and look around. According to
Miss Science, one of the frst
grade teachers, she thought the
best part of the day was the actual
demonstration that girls can be
frefghters too.
Following a long morning out-
side on a chilly day, the fre fght-
ers were invited to have spinach
salads in the cafeteria with the
classes.
Tabi Luttrell demonstrates that girls can fre fghters
too!
Mike Robbins demon-
strates some of the
transformer qualities of
the Greenwood Volunteer
Fire & Rescue fre truck.
Brandon Dreiling demonstrates some of the other
tools on the fre truck.

Clarence C. Trip
Chewning, III
During the frst three months of
2012, chaos reigned in the gov-
ernance of the Town of Middle-
town. Deliberations between the
Mayor and Council were marked
by extreme vitriol and unseemly
behavior. As a member of the
Town Council, I feel that I can
help bring some needed order
to the business of running the
town, and at the same time instill
the need for civil discourse be-
tween the Mayor, Town Council,
the Planning Commission and
town employees. Te citizens of
our town need to be much better
served by those entrusted with
the functioning of their town
government.
Mary L. Shull
My name is Mary L. Shull and Im
running for a seat on the town
council in the upcoming elec-
tion in Middletown. I have lived
in Middletown for 39 years, Im
married and have two children
and two grandchildren. Im no
stranger to the town council for I
have served on the council twice
before under the former mayors
Gene Dicks and John Copeland.
During that time I served on the
street committee and the 4th of
July committee. While I was on
the street committee I saw that
the sidewalks got fxed and to
approve to have the boundary
adjusted to what they are now.
If elected I will try to make the
right choices for the citizens of
the town I know that you cant
please everyone and I know that
everyone will not agree to every-
thing but that doesnt mean that
you cant work together to decide
what is best for the town and if
that doesnt happen that doesnt
mean you cant leave the meeting
and still be talking to each other.
Ill try to work together with the
employees of the town and try to
keep my ears and eyes open to
any problems that may come up.
Charles Harbaugh IV
Hello, My name is Charles Har-
baugh IV and I am the Interim
Mayor of Middletown. Im a
lifelong resident of the town,
and am running for a four-year
Mayoral term. I graduated with
my Bachelors and Masters in
Business Administration from
Shenandoah University. Since
being elected to Council in 2010,
I have worked on bringing more
community events to the town
such as numerous softball tour-
naments, July 4th festivals, pa-
rades, car washes and an annual
town Christmas tree. My fund-
raisers have raised thousands of
dollars for the town, in addition
I was able to negotiate a contract
to get Middletown free freworks
for the forseeable future for our
July 4th freworks show. Since
becoming Mayor in March, the
town has become more efcient,
more positive, steady and a bet-
ter place to work and do busi-
ness. Te Mayor and Council
get along well and the days of a
dysfunctional government are
in the past. Financially speak-
ing, we have challenges ahead
and must face those, but during
the last budget session Council
and I worked together and cut
the budget almost $200,000 and
did not have to raise a penny in
taxes. Te plan for my next four
years in ofce is to answer and fx
our fnancial situations and fnd
long-term solutions. I look for-
ward to the exciting opportunity
of representing Middletown.
Tom Simon
As an introduction for those of
you who do not know me. I am a
Regional Installation Manager for
a global electronic security com-
pany and have resided in Middle-
town for 8 years. I am married
with 2 children. If elected to town
council one of my top priorities
would be to use my experience as
a business manager to work with
the rest of council and the town
staf to move towards balancing
the town budget without using
the towns reserve funds.
Another priority would be to
work towards targeted growth
while maintaining the historic
district and the small town charm
we already possess.
I appreciate your support.
Mark Davis
Ive served on the Town Council
for the past four years, through
some challenging and occasion-
ally difcult times. I feel Middle-
town is now governed by a cohe-
sive group of elected ofcials that
bring diverse experiences and
viewpoints, while maintaining
both mutual respect and a co-
operative mindset. We can each
contribute our unique knowledge
and expertise, and my focus has
been, and will continue to be, to
encourage our town to embrace
the value of long-range compre-
hensive planning, and most im-
portantly to adhere to those plans
once they are approved, and use
them as a guide for all important
decisions.
Ronald L Bowers
I have served as a member of
Council since 1990. I believe in a
fact-fnding mission before mak-
ing any decisions which will af-
fect the Town and its citizens. i
believe in in preservation of the
Town history. As Chairman of
the Public Safety Committee I
want the Town to be a safe place
to reside. Te Town is fortunate
to have a park located of Main
Street for recreation for our citi-
zens. As Chairman of the Parks
and Recreation Committee I will
promote the use of the park. We
are in the process of constructing
a veterans memorial dedicated
to all veterans. Small businesses
are welcome to locate within the
Town. Te future is uncertain
however, good, sound govern-
ment must always apply. Your
vote will be appreciated.

Frederick County Report
I started writing about the Presi-
dential election in this column
more than a year ago, when the
Republican candidates were still
campaigning in Iowa and New
Hampshire. Characters like Her-
man Cain, Michelle Bachmann,
Rick Perry, and Newt Gingrich
took turns as Republican front-
runners, before GOP primary vot-
ers decided on Mitt Romney as by
far their best chance to oust a Pres-
ident they deeply dislike. After a
long, damaging summer and a con-
vention season that saw President
Obamas campaign outperform his
own, Mitt Romney crushed the
President in the frst debate and
has delivered us the toss-up elec-
tion we now have. Since that frst
debate, the President has delivered
two solid performances and sta-
bilized a race that for a few weeks
looked to be headed toward a deci-
sive Romney victory. We are back
to the fght in the trenches many
predicted. After a year of political
maneuvering and dozens of pos-
sible external events feared by both
sides (Israel striking Iran and driv-
ing up gas prices, a further Euro-
zone fnancial crisis and a double
dip recession) that did not materi-
alize, we now stand four days from
election day.
In the columns I have written for
a year, I have always strived to be as
objective as possible and stay away
from the business of predicting
outcomes. Certainly the current
conditions only days before elec-
tion makes predictions very dif-
fcult: both campaigns have truly
compelling arguments that they
will win on Tuesday, and national
polls and battleground state polls
are painting two very diferent pic-
tures. However, I would like to set
forth what I think might happen
on November 6th. A huge caveat
is that even in four days things can
change quickly in politics. Also, I
think anyone who thinks they can
predict with a great deal of conf-
dence what the fnal result will be
misunderstands both their own
abilities and the uncertainty of an
election this close. To be clear,
from the start, either side can win
this election and my predictions
could certainly be wrong.
Having said all of that, I do be-
lieve that despite the closeness
of the election President Barack
Obama will be reelected by a nar-
row margin on Tuesday. I have
believed since the Republican pri-
mary process that took months to
resolve that GOP voters are ener-
gized more by defeating President
Obama than actually by their afec-
tion for Governor Romney. Tat,
and his problems connecting with
middle class voters, could be too
much for Governor Romney to
overcome.
Romney can win, without a
doubt. Tose few undecided vot-
ers left may well break for Romney
over the incumbent. His base is
fred up to the hilt to defeat Presi-
dent Obama. However, President
Obama has both the superior or-
ganization on the ground and the
superior electoral map. I think
Governor Romney will win several
of the most closely contested bat-

tleground states, but will come up
short in the end because to reach
270 electoral votes he has to win
almost all of them. Romney, in
the end, must win either Ohio or
Wisconsin, or put a state like Penn-
sylvania in play. He still may win
Ohio, and if he does that he will be
the next President. But poll after
poll shows the President up, by dif-
fering margins but unequivocally
up. Wisconsin has not gone Re-
publican in a generation. Pennsyl-
vania is a state Republicans always
swing at and rarely win. Not since
1988 has the Keystone State gone
Republican, and last minute eforts
by the Romney campaign in Penn-
sylvania may point more towards
desperation than momentum.
Having said that, I do believe
that Governor Romney will win the
battleground states of Florida and
our own state of Virginia, though
by very narrow margins and after
long hours of counting votes that
will likely stretch into November
7th. Indeed, one thing that seems
very likely is that we will not know
who our next President is until well
after midnight on election day and
perhaps into the next day. My pre-
dictions for the key battlegrounds
and both candidates fnal electoral
vote tally is below.
Ohio, Wisconsin, Colorado, Ne-
vada, New Hampshire, and Iowa to
President Obama for for 290 elec-
toral votes.
Florida, North Carolina, and
Virginia to Governor Romney for
248.
