Frederick County Report
Colton Fletcher, age 3, is very
proud that he helped save his
Mom, Tracy from the fre that
engulfed their home in Middle-
town on Halloween. Tracy and
Colton were home alone that
day. Tracy had run upstairs for a
moment, leaving Colton watch-
ing television. Luckily, their
friend and neighbor, Brent Moy-
er, stopped by. What Brent saw
was horrifying; the three year
old was watching a fre, most
likely started by an overload-
ed power strip. Brent grabbed
Colton, yelled for Tracy, and
raced outside.
Te family lost everything that
day, but they, thankfully, are still
an intact family. Te old wooden
bungalow, at 7723 Main Street,
burnt very fast. Two of the fam-
ily’s three cats escaped from the
fre. Te third, an older cat, re-
ceived mouth-to-mouth resus-
citation from a neighbor, and
oxygen from a frefghter. Ac-
cording to the family vet, these
acts saved the cat’s life.
Te frefghters on the scene,
from Middletown, Stephens
City, Warren and Shenandoah
Counties, were terrifc with the
family, especially Colton. One
frefghter loaned Colton his
fre department coat and hat.
He told Colton to visit the fre
station to see the fre truck up
close. Colton asked his Mom a
number of times this week “Do
you think the fre fghters are
mad at us? We said we would
visit.”
Te next day, Tracy was in the
hospital, sufering from smoke
inhalation, and clots caused by
an abscessed tooth. She stayed in
the hospital most of the week.
Te Red Cross stepped in with
hotel vouchers to help the fam-
ily. Te entire community gal-
vanized. Family members, their
friends, and co-workers stepped
up to the plate. Within a week,
the family has a new place to
live, still in Middletown, so son
Hunter can stay at Sherando
High School. Tracy, Hunter and
Colton all have clothes to wear.
Items were donated, most anon-
ymously, through the Middle-
town Government.
Tracy, and husband, Kevin,
who was away on business when
the fre occurred “cannot thank
everyone enough. Te outpour-
ing of support from the frefght-
ers, and the community, has
been incredible.” Tracy, in par-
ticular, would like to personally
thank the frefghter that saved
her cat’s life, and the frefghter
that lent Colton the coat and
hat. Please contact this paper, so
we can put you in touch with the
Fletcher family.
In addition to the Middletown
Government, help was received
by Lockheed Martin, where Tra-
cy’s sister, Mellissa Miller, works.
Z & M Sheetmetal, located in
the Stonewall Industrial Park,
chipped in. Te Mom’s Club of
Winchester West has a large do-
nation. Sherando High School
has held a number of fundrais-
ers. To all who have helped, Tra-
cy and Kevin thank you.
At the moment, Tracy is look-
ing for two dressers, a kitchen
table, a bathroom stand for the
boys’ towels, a kitchen stand
for Tupperware and food, and
a couch. Kevin could use some
clothes, size 2XL and a 42” waist,
although, as Kevin says “as long
as my wife and sons are taken
care of, I’m happy.”
In addition to being togeth-
er, Tracy says one of the nicest
things is hearing Colton, when
the family drives into Middle-
town, say “this is my Town; this
is my home.”

Case # 11043393 MPO H. Andrews
Crime of the Week
Dear Editor,
Middletown sufered the
loss of a home at 7723 Main
Street last week as the result
of a fast moving fre, thankfully
without any injuries or loss of
life. Although the structure
itself was saved thanks to the
aggressive eforts of the men
and women of the Middletown
Fire Department (assisted by
three other companies), the
Fletcher family lost nearly ev-
ery possession they owned.
Word of their needs spread
rapidly throughout our com-
munity, primarily because of
the extensive, next-day cover-
age by your newspaper, and
the people of Middletown re-
sponded. I want to publicly
thank all those anonymous
givers who came forward with
clothing and furniture to help
the Fletchers re-establish their
home. Teir generosity turned
a disaster into a true season of
Tanksgiving for this family.
But I especially want to thank
the Frederick County Report,
and in particular reporter Sue
Golden, for her immediacy in
describing the plight of this
family. Without you telling
the story, this family could well
have started down the road as
another homeless statistic.

Mark Brown
Mayor, Middletown

Te lasting legacy of Andy Rooney
Dan McDermott
Frederick County Report
Like most journalists, I was sad-
dened to hear of the passing of CBS
legend Andy Rooney.
To many young people, Andy was
simply that cranky old guy who read
a short essay at the end of the news
magazine your parents watched ev-
ery Sunday night.
But he was so much more.
First and foremost a writer, Andy
was never comfortable in the me-
dium that made him so famous. But
he was transparent about that, be-
fore ‘transparency’ was cool.
Andy didn’t like being recognized
and he never signed autographs --
except in his books, of course.
I never met Andy but like millions
of Americans I knew him from his
writing and television work. I know
what he represented to American
mass communications at a key time
of change.
Aside from the fact that he was
classy, smart and a great writer,
what really made Andy special to
me was that he was one of the last of
the people who were part of the be-
ginning of television. He was part of
that group of journalists and writers
who had to fgure out how to take
their long-form radio programs and
perform them under a camera and
lights.
In a lot of ways, those of us in
internet programming are going
through the same transition.
Leo Laporte’s TWiT.tv network
started out as a group of former
Tech TV hosts sitting around a few
microphones and chatting about
technology news.
People listened and the show be-
came a hit. Ten Leo added cam-
eras and some lights and recently
a million dollar studio. But it is still
largely an audio show that happens
to be available on video.
Many decades ago, when radio
was king, a young writer for CBS
named Andy Rooney went through
the same technology shift. He spoke
about it during a lengthy 1999 in-
terview with Don Carleton for the
Archive of American Television:
“Tis was a period during which
television was born. I wake up some
mornings and I say I am old enough
to have been in on the beginning of
television... At CBS, [Arthur] God-
frey was radio, an hour and a half
of radio fve days a week. And then
CBS started fooling with television,
and quite early on color television
too.
“But it was black and white [then]
so they talked Godfrey into letting
cameras into the radio studio. It
was nothing. It was [a money] loss.
Tey fgured, ‘Well we might as well
broadcast this radio show.’
“Well gradually, of course, televi-
sion crept in and the income from it
rose and they put lights in the studio
specifcally designed for television
and gradually the radio disappeared
and the television came to the fore
and the frst thing you know it was
Arthur Godfrey’s television show.
We will miss having a few minutes
with Andy Rooney every Sunday
night.

Sports
By Jonathan Lucci
Frederick County Report
Last week saw the Sherando War-
riors shocked in defeat, standing in a
driving rain and watching their op-
ponents celebrate the upset victory.
Tis past Friday saw a very diferent
scene enacted in Arrowhead sta-
dium, as the overjoyed high school
Warriors hoisted the coveted Ap-
ple Cup, a trophy dedicated to two
Frederick County legends and vied
for each year by the four Frederick
County teams.
Te Warriors defeated Milbrook
to claim the Cup, as well as a share
of the district championship, fnish-
ing their season at 7-3 and earning a
spot as the third seed in the regional
playofs that begin next week. Te
Millbrook pioneers fought hard and
valiantly and several times the game
looked to be in doubt, but for the
majority of the evening the War-
riors dominated behind seniors like
Joe Ojo, Jalen Brisco, and Tre Porter.
Te Warriors achieved the victory,
defeating Milbrook 36-6.
When the clock winded down to
triple zeroes, the players stormed
the feld and as the Apple Cup
was brought out, several players
swarmed the man holding it. Teir
eagerness was understandable and
their coaches soon had them back
with their teammates to await the
presentation of the trophy in a more
dignifed manner. When the trophy
was presented, the players huddled
around it bouncing on their feet and
screaming in joy, their hands held
high to touch the symbolic red apple
that sits atop the trophy.
Now that they have earned the
Apple Cup and their share of the
district title, the Sherando Warriors
and their coach Bill Hall are setting
their sights on a bigger journey, that
begins at home next week. Te War-
riors will play in the comfort of their
own stadium, no doubt in front of a
roaring crowd, and they will face a
determined and talented opponent.
Te Louisa High School football
team will arrive with their eyes set
on the same goal the Warriors pur-
sue.
Te Sherando coaching staf ac-
knowledged that the game would
be a challenge, one of the coaches
asserting that Louisa was as good as
any team the Warriors had yet faced,
including Martinsburg. Te oppo-
nent’s team was described as being
very athletic and fast, as well as pos-
sessing several players up front on
the ofensive and defensive lines that
were very large and powerful.
Te Warriors at times this sea-
son looked as sharp and talented
as they were expected to be before
the season started. At other times,
namely against Loudoun County
and especially against Skyline, they
looked much less impressive. Much
of the outcome this week’s com-
ing clash will be decided by which
Sherando team shows up, and if the
sharp and talented one stays for the
entire game. Te Warriors have had
trouble this year at times fnishing a
complete game or starting strong.
While they practice harder than
ever (their practice Monday was de-
scribed by their coaches as exactly
the kind of practice that leads to vic-
tories in the playofs) the Warriors
are still taking time to savor what
they have already accomplished this
year. Two of the goals spoken of dur-
ing summer workouts, in the burn-
ing dusty heat of August camp, and
in the slow attrition of a ten week
season have been achieved. But for
these players, particularly their star
seniors, they have only just begun.

Forensic Malarkey
By Edward Johnson
Better Business Bureau
When you think of the word “fo-
rensic” the general image most peo-
ple conjure up is one of a scientist,
criminalist or medical specialist do-
ing exhaustingly detailed work. Te
use of word most certainly carries
an ofcial and authoritative sense
to it. Perhaps that is why the word
has entered into the consumer mar-
ketplace lexicon in ways that are du-
bious. Yep, problematic and scam
companies are now using the word
to describe their purported services
and some have even used the word
as part of their company name. For
unknowing consumers, there is no
rest for the weary.
If you are like many consumers you
may have recently received a mass-
marketed letter in the mail ofering a
“forensic” mortgage loan audit. Te
use of the word “forensic” with “au-
dit” certainly gives a Perry Mason or
CIS feel. What you may not know,
is that from the time the mortgage
crisis began, fraudulent foreclosure
rescue ofers have been using half-
truths and outright lies to peddle
services promising relief to hom-
eowners in distress. Many of the
people doing the “forensic audits”
have no legal or accounting certi-
fcation and are simply using soft-
ware programs. Te reality is that
the words are the “terms-dejour”
to get your attention. According to
the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB)
fles, experience, and research many
of the companies ofering such ser-
vices are only providing hope, and
false hope at that.
How it works is that in exchange
for a hefty upfront fee the so-called
forensic loan auditors ofer to re-
view your mortgage documents to
determine if your lender complied
with mortgage laws and require-
ments. Tese supposed forensic
gurus will lure you in by telling you
that the audit can be used to avoid
foreclosure, accelerate a modifca-
tion, reduce principle or even get
you out from your loan all together.
Tis is where the malarkey comes.
According to the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) there is no evi-
dence that forensic loan audits will
help with a modifcation or fore-
closure, even if a real auditor or at-
torney performs the audit. In addi-
tion, when an error is found in your
loan documents and you sue and
win, your lender is not required to
modify your loan to make payments
more afordable. Now you are out
the cost of the audit and the law-
suit.
Te best thing you can do if you
are in mortgage distress, is contact
your lender and keep the lines of

sonalized advice from counselors
certifed by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). Te hotline is operated by
the Homeownership Preservation
Foundation.
Te BBB and the FTC ofers the
following tips on spotting a foreclo-
sure prevention scam. Be careful
when the company:
• guarantees to stop foreclosure
• instructs you NOT to contact your
lender, lawyer or credit counseling
professional
• demands upfront fee payments or
requires payment by cashiers check
or wire transfer
• suggests you to lease your home so
you can buy it back over time
• recommends you make mortgage
payments to someone other than
your lender
• advices you to transfer title or the
deed to someone else
As for companies that use the
word “forensic” in their name, just
ask Forensic Case Management if
it truly defned who they were as
a company. It operated a nation-
wide collection agency and BBB
complaint fles show that it used
unethical collection practices, high
pressure tactics, misrepresented
disclosures concerning fees and
policies, refused to validate debts
and were just plain rude. Not ex-
actly a “forensic” service. Te FTC
recently shut them down.
Be careful out there.

Te City Needs Your Opinion:
2011 Citizen Satisfaction Survey
Te City of Winchester will mail a survey to community mem-
bers this week, seeking input on everything from parks and
streets to police and fre service.
A fve-page survey will be mailed to 1,800 randomly selected
Winchester residents beginning November 1. Te confdential
survey takes an estimated 15 minutes to complete and residents
are asked to mail it back to ETC Institute, of Olathe, Kansas, the
company that has been retained to administer the survey for
Winchester.
Respondents will be provided a self-addressed, stamped en-
velope to return their responses. Some residents may receive a
telephone call reminding them to complete the survey. Results
remain completely confdential and the City of Winchester will
not be informed which residents received or completed surveys.
Survey questions deal with the level of satisfaction residents
have with police, fre, parks, public works, communication and
more. ETC Institute will compile and present the results to the
City Council later this year.
If residents do not receive a survey in the mail, they are encour-
aged to visit the City’s website at to fll out the survey on-line or
click here to go directly to the survey.

Te White House
Ofce of the Press Secretary
Having served and defended
our nation, veterans are well-
trained, highly skilled and will
add value to any company. But
today’s veterans face unique
challenges: As of October, over
850,000 veterans were unem-
ployed and the jobless rate for
post-9/11 veterans was 12.1 per-
cent. And as we end the war in
Iraq and wind down the war in
Afghanistan, over one million
servicemembers are projected to
leave the military between 2011
and 2016. Accordingly, there is
more work to do to ensure these
men and women can fnd jobs
at home when they return. On
November 7, leading veterans’
organizations joined President
Obama at the White House to
announce their support for the
Returning Heroes and Wounded
Warrior Tax Credits, two provi-
sions in the American Jobs Act
Congress is scheduled to consid-
er that will help create jobs and
strengthen the economy. Te Re-
turning Heroes Tax Credit pro-
vides frms that hire unemployed
veterans with a maximum credit
of $5,600 per veteran, while the
Wounded Warriors Tax Credit
ofers frms that hire veterans
with service-connected disabili-
ties with a maximum credit of
$9,600 per veteran.
Te President also announced
a series of executive actions that
will provide new resources for
veterans to translate military ex-
perience to the private job mar-
ket, give veterans additional ca-
reer development support and
better identify frms looking to
hire veterans. Tese initiatives
include:
Veteran Gold Card: Efective
today, Post-9/11 veterans will
be able download the Veteran
Gold Card, which entitles them
to enhanced services including
six months of personalized case
management, assessments and
counseling, at the roughly 3,000
One-Stop Career Centers located
across the country. Tis could
help serve the more than 200,000
unemployed Post-9/11 veterans.
Te President directed the De-
partment of Labor to launch this
initiative in his August 5, 2011
speech at the Navy Yard.
My Next Move for Veterans:
Te Department of Labor will
launch My Next Move for Veter-
ans, a new online resource that
allows veterans to enter their
military occupation code and
discover civilian occupations for
which they are well qualifed. Te
site will also include information
about salaries, apprenticeships,
and other related education and
training programs.
Creating a Veterans Job Bank:
Starting Monday, the Adminis-
tration will launch the Veterans
Job Bank, at National Resource
Directory, an easy to use tool to
help veterans fnd job postings
from companies looking to hire
them. It already searches over
500,000 job postings and is grow-
ing. In a few easy steps, compa-
nies can make sure the job post-
ings on their own websites are
part of this Veterans Job Bank.
All of these services can also be
accessed by visiting www.white-
house.gov/vets.

Frederick County Report
Te Middletown Town Council met
Monday evening for its work session.
Te session began with Mayor Mark
Brown reading a Code of Conduct
for the Town Council. Te Council
then discussed the fact that the ceil-
ing plaster is falling of of the ceiling
on the second foor of the building.
Town Planner Fred Wharton called
the situation a hazard. Councilor
Mark Davis suggested that, because
of the age of the building, there will
probably not be any asbestos, which
would incur a lot of expense for the
job. Te Town uses the second foor
for storage. Councilor Davis and Mr.
Wharton will investigate.
Superintendent of Public Works
Donald Rifey reported that he had
done a check of all of the water pipes
and the water meters where plastic
pipeline was used in town. A total of
eight leaks were found in yown lines,
one signifcant. Tere are three leaks
in the subdivision west of town, one
on Senseney Road, and four leaks be-
tween 3rd and 4th Streets. One cus-
tomer line was found to be leaking.
According to Mr. Rifey, the town is
losing one million gallons of water
per month. Middletown has money
in the budget to fx the leaks; they
will fx the easiest leaks frst.
Te Council will hold public hear-
ings prior to the November 14th
Town Council meeting on both the
ordinance to increase the fee for
turning on and of the water for a late
payment of a water bill, and to move
the election for the Mayor and Town
Councilors from May at the Town
Hall, to November at Middletown El-
ementary. Te proposed fee increase
will be $50 to shut of water, after a
35 day delinquency. Once the bill is
paid, there will be a $50 fee to turn
back on the water. Both proposed
fees are in addition to the 10% delin-
quency penalty charged for the entire
time of the late payment. Also, if the
service is reconnected on any day
other than the fve day work week, or
after 5 pm on a work day, there cur-
rently is a $50 charge.
Te appointed committee inter-
viewed two candidates to become the
new Town Attorney for Middletown.
Stephen Butler, Esq., who has been
the Town Attorney for over thirty
years, is retiring at the end of the
year. Te Council seemed to agree on
spending up to $100 of Town money
for a gift for Mr. Butler.
Mayor Brown said that all Coun-
cilors will receive personal copies of
the Town Code soon. He asked every
Councilor to review the Code with
an eye to updating it. In interviewing
lawyers for the Town Attorney posi-
tion, it became obvious that the Code
needs updating. For example, there is
no mention of any sort of electronic
media in the Code. Councilor John
Blaisdell noted that the last full re-
view of the Code was at least 12 years
ago.
Te Planning Commission will
hold its next work session on No-
vember 21st at 7 pm at Town Hall.
Councilor Davis reported that Peter
Hefern resigned from the Planning
Commission. Te Planning Commis-
sion now has two openings. Anyone
interested in joining the Planning
Commission should contact Town
Hall.
Mr. Rifey reported that the De-
partment of Public Works has hired
three new employees. Welcome to
Brenda Wolverton, the new Waste
Water Treatment Plant Trainee, and
John Rush and Jim Miller.
Te Mayor and Town Manager
Joan Roche thanked the community
for its outstanding support of the
Fletcher family, who were burned
out of their house on Halloween. Ms.
Roche, who did relief work, said the
donations were all very appropri-
ate, clean, and creative; one person
brought toothbrushes and tooth-
paste, and another brought socks.
Te meeting was Councilor Gerald
D. (Dave) Sinclair’s last meeting. Te
only person running for the opening,
Gil Barrington, was in attendance.
On November 17, Town residents
can receive fu shots from 5 pm to 7
pm, at Town Hall. Lantz’s Pharmacy
will administer the shots. Te cost is
$25; there is no charge for those over
the age of 65.
Tere will be a holiday service on
Tanksgiving Day at St. Tomas’
Chapel, on Church Street, in Middle-
town. Te service is at 10 am.
Te Council ended the meeting
by going into executive session, to
discuss the hiring of the new Town
Attorney.
Councilor Charles H. Harbaugh,
IV did not attend the meeting.

Stewart Makes
It a Two-Car
Chase
It’s seven down, three races to go in
the Chase for the Sprint Cup, and quite
obviously far from over, but one must
marvel at Tony Stewart’s versatility.
Stewart has a) won a championship
before the Chase format existed in
2002; b) won a Chase without actually
capturing any of the races in it, in 2005;
and c) won three races in a Chase he
wasn’t actually in, in 2006.
Now, at age 40, burdened by the re-
sponsibilities -- like, oh, owning his own
business -- that come with advancing
years, he’s turning into the oddest elder
statesman since Willie Nelson.
Not for the same reasons, mind you.
Stewart is so close to the point lead,
he can taste it. If it weren’t for what can
only be described, in Carl Edwards’
case, as the Luck of the Missourians,
Stewart might be in the driver’s seat
right now instead of trying to shove
Edwards out of it.
Te one-time “enfant terrible” --
that’s French for “terrible child” -- is
now NASCAR’s informal sergeant at
arms. To his credit, he recognizes the
irony.
“I’m a car owner now,” he said. “I
remember Joe Gibbs (for whom he
was driving during his championship
seasons) sitting me down and saying,
‘Tere are other guys working on these
things, too. You knock the nose of it af-
ter a race because you’re mad at some-
body, all of a sudden, you create more
work for these guys.
“Maybe the crew guys need to get
mad at the drivers when we do some-
thing stupid. Maybe the crew guys
ought to pull the drivers back in the
shop and make them fx it.”
Maybe, if they’d done that back in
the days of Stewart’s impetuous youth
... he’d have had to give up driving be-
cause of all the time he spent work-
ing on wrecked cars. “I can barely put
something that bolts together ... to-
gether,” he admitted.
Lots of chuckling took place dur-
ing the winner’s press conference at
Martinsville Speedway. Te image of
Stewart preaching moderation and
advocating good sense just seemed ...
hilarious.
“NASCAR has to stay involved,”
Stewart said. “You can’t just make it a
free-for-all.”
But, in a way, that’s what Stewart
said he wanted. He doesn’t want a free-
for-all on the track. He’s inclined to
prefer a free-for-all in the garage or on
pit road.
“It’s easier for drivers to handle it
back here,” he said. “Tey’ll fnd a way
to sort it out amongst each other if you
give them the opportunity.”
Stewart waxed poetic of the good
old days when a Dale -- he mentioned
Earnhardt and Jarrett -- would “pull
you out of the car at the end of the
practice session, rip your head of talk-
ing to you about it, intimidate you into
understanding why you didn’t do that.
“Now,” he said, “there’s nothing. ...
You let a guy get his butt kicked once or
twice, he’ll quit doing stupid stuf like
that.”
So ... maybe Stewart isn’t actually
such a preacher of moderation, after
all. He just yearns for a time in NAS-
CAR when men were men, eyes were
blackened and knuckles were bleeding.

Biffle Is Racing
as Hard as He Can
This hasn’t been the season Greg
Biffle expected, though he certainly
has time to pick up the pieces.
The 39-year-old Biffle didn’t win
during the 2008 regular season, but
after making the Chase, proceeded to
win its first two races. He wound up
third in the Sprint Cup standings.
For now, Biffle’s first priority is
making the Chase, but that doesn’t
mean he’s going to back off.
“We’re certainly not racing conserv-
atively,” he said. “We’re racing to win,
but we’re not going to do anything stu-
pid.
“We know we have to stay in (the top
12 in order to qualify for the Chase).
It’s tight ... and we’re doing all we can
do.”
Roush Fenway Racing put Biffle in
what was then still the Winston Cup
Series back in 2003. He finished sec-
ond in the Chase standings two years
later. A year ago, three Roush Fenway
drivers — Biffle, Carl Edwards and
Matt Kenseth — made the Chase.
They could do it again, but the posi-
tions of Biffle and Kenseth are hardly
secure as the regular season enters its
final four races.
“We’re just going to have to be bet-
ter,” said Biffle. “We know that. We’re
nervous about getting in (the Chase),
and anything can happen. ... There are
some races we’re concerned about
leading up to the cutoff (end of the reg-
ular season), and we know we’re on
the bubble, so it’s important to have
good finishes right now.”
Biffle, from Vancouver, Wash., is
one of only two drivers to have won
championships in both the Nation-
wide and Camping World Truck
series. (Johnny Benson is the other.)
Biffle also was rookie of the year in
both series. He came up through
NASCAR’s developmental system,
winning track championships early in
his career at Tri-City Raceway in West
Richland, Wash., and Portland (Ore.)
Speedway.
“Really, we’re working as hard as we
can every week to bring the best race
cars we can to the track,” said Biffle.
“It’s important that we have the best
possible equipment right now.
“We’re racing as hard as we can.
We’re not taking big risks, but, at the
same time, we’re racing for the win.”

Stamp Album
Q:
We have an old stamp album
with specimens from the
1930s and earlier. How do we find
a reputable stamp collector so the
collection can be appraised? — Sue,
Guttenberg, Iowa
A:
First of all, I can only vouch
for my honesty. A quick check
of your local Better Business Bureau
should reveal how good or bad a deal-
er or business is. There are at least
two established stamp dealers in your
region, Terry Holdridge, Iowa Stamps
and Coin, P.O. Box 77, Ankeny, IA
50021; and Jerry Koepp, 8190 Hick-
man Rd., Des Moines, IA 50325. If
you have your stamps appraised, you
should expect to pay for this service.
There are several excellent price
guides available that you also might
find helpful. I especially like The
Official Blackbook Price Guide to
U.S. Postage Stamps 2012, by Thom-
as E. Hudgeons Jr. (House of Collect-
ibles, $8.99).
***
Q:
The items in these photo-
graphs have been in my fam-
ily for more than 100 years, and I
know they are old. How much are
they worth? — Leo, Bunnell, Fla.
A:
Even though I was in the
antique/collectible business
for more than 25 years, I am not a
certified expert and this column is not
meant to be a free appraisal service.
If an appraisal is what you need, you
should hire the services of a profes-
sional. Keep in mind, a free appraisal
is worth what you pay for it.
***
Q:
I have two dinner plates
made by Taylor, Smith and
Taylor china. One is cracked, the
other chipped. Are they worth any-
thing? — Doris, Orlando, Fla.
A:
The value of any collectible
—- whether it is a baseball
card or a Barbie doll —- is deter-
mined by three major factors: condi-
tion, rarity and demand. “Cracked”
and “chipped” make your two plates
unmarketable to a collector.
***
Q:
I have a dressing table man-
ufactured by Drexel. I would
to know how much it is worth. —
Deb, Sioux Falls, S.D.
A:
Contact dealers in your area.
Two places where you might
begin are Antiques on 18th, 415
W. 18th St., Sioux Falls; and I-29
Antiques and Collectibles Mall,
46990 271st St., Tea, SD.

Senior Dogs Need
Extra Attention
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My
golden retriever, “Jessie,” recently
turned 9 years old. He’s always
been an energetic dog, but he
doesn’t seems to like walking as
far as he used to, and when chasing
birds in the park, he only chases
them a few feet before trotting back
to me. He also has some digestive
issues. Is this normal for an older
dog, or should I worry that he’s got
some hidden health issue? — Sam
L., Atlanta
DEAR SAM: Nine years is defi-
nitely “senior dog” territory, and it is
normal even for very energetic dogs
to begin to noticeably slow down.
Their dietary needs and their diges-
tive system also go through gradual
change. If Jessie isn’t showing signs
of distress or extreme lethargy, he’s
probably OK. However, as his owner,
you know him best, so if his behavior
or digestion concern you, take him to
the veterinarian for a checkup.
Senior dogs do have unique needs
that owners should address. Heidi
Ganahl, owner of Camp Bow Wow,
recently listed a few considerations
senior dog owners should take:
—Schedule a veterinary checkup
every six months, rather than once a
year. A senior pet’s health can change
rapidly.
—Learn the signs of common ail-
ments in senior dogs, like hip and
joint problems, diabetes and eye or
ear issues.
—Feed your senior dog two smaller
meals per day, rather than one. This
may help with digestive problems.
—Consider adding at least two
fresh meals to your dog’s diet per
week. The added nutrition can be a
big help.
—Replace long runs or walks with
shorter jaunts followed by a daily
training or toy romp.
