Theyre spreading like a cancer ... but does it significantly benefit cancer - or any other disease - research?
By Roger Bianchini Frederick County Report Since last year you may have seen them sprouting like weeds the blue bins claiming to be charitable Clothes and Shoes Donations Centers. Sounds harmless enough and they always seem to be at highly traveled and convenient locations. The ones I was initially aware of, first two, then three in the Royal Plaza Shopping Center in front of K-mart, are often overflowing into the parking lot despite the admonishment to Please do not leave any items outside the bin. Others have since cropped up in locations, including the car wash at Fifth Street on Commerce Avenue, the old Jiffy Lube at North Royal and 14th Street, and the reopened Liberty Gas Station at 5th Street and North Royal Avenue. However, a reader inquiry about exactly who was collecting and what charity was profiting from these collection bins led us to a closer inspection of the information on the bins. The donated items will be sold and after expenses Charity receives guaranteed fixed monthly revenue without risk of financial loss, the second paragraph under the logo of the Childhood Disease Research Foundation (CDRF) reads. The CDRF logo was on all the boxes we found around Front Royal. Hmm, after expenses Charity receives guaranteed fixed monthly revenue immediately raised alarm bells.
Okay, Im used to seeing used clothes and what not sold to the benefit of a charity or civic organization operating discount stores LOCALLY. Among those that initially come to mind are The Salvation Army Store on South Street, the Abused Womens Shelter Second Chance Store and Blue Ridge Hospice Thrift Store, both on East Main Street. But Charity capitalized in a third-person context under the logo of an alleged medical research foundation of unknown location struck this cynic as suspicious. The first paragraph on the bin explained that the CDRF was a nonprofit and operating division of Optimal Medical Foundation whose mission is to provide public awareness to promote and further research, treatment and education programs on disease affecting children and adults. Nice, if somewhat vague. Once home, we did on online exploration of both organizations. CDRF and OPM share a Fremont, California mailing address and a (905) 681-3135 phone number. On websites referencing it we could not find an OPM website, only myriad sites referencing it OPM is listed as a 501-C-3 non-profit with most recently reported (2009) annual revenue of $5,312,406 with assets of $264,415; an asset range of $100,000 to $499,999; and an income range of $5 million to $9.999 million ... Hmm, never can quite get over that $10-million hurdle wonder if thats where another level of governmental oversight kicks in???

the National Breast Cancer Research Center is a scam. Its more like a charity within a charity, run by an organization called the Walker Cancer Research Institute. The parent organization, based in Aberdeen, Md., dutifully files tax returns that show it raised $12.7 million in 2009 and spent 52 percent of it on fundraising. The return

also reports that the organization spent exactly $487,505, or about 4 percent of its income, on research most of it for probing plant life for anticancer compounds. Given that kind of research commitment, the group is unlikely to make significant advances anytime soon. That said, Saporito continued,

me, there are community organizations that take donations for the good of our community, Blue Ridge Hospice being one, along with Goodwill, Salvation Army, Second Chance, C-Cap and Habitat for Humanity, just to mention the ones that I am aware of, Jeania Aylor of the Blue Ridge Hospice Thrift Store says. All of us are paying town taxes, purchasing business licenses and creating revenue for this beautiful town that we live in, as well as doing our part to help the less fortunate in our community maintain a better quality of life, whether it be Blue Ridge Hospice providing quality end-of-life care; or other local organizations such as Salvation Army, which helps homeless get back on their feet; or the womens shelter, helping women conquer abusive situations and getting back on their feet. Blue Ridge Hospice does thousands of dollars in in-kind donations a year. We donate to other organizations in our community, such as C-Cap, Habitat for Humanity, local churches and nursing homes when they have events for the elderly as I am sure the other local non-profits do as well. I honestly believe that everyone in this town is aware of the organizations that truly help our community. That being said, it seems unfair to our community as a whole that we and other local organizations are not receiving as many donations due to these metal boxes being placed around town. I truly believe if people understood that these boxes are being placed by organizations from other

states, some as far away as California, and the questionable history of charitable donations they actually make versus profits they take, they would insist that they be removed today. I can tell you this there is a committee that rates non-profit organizations and I know from some research that we did previously, this company that placed the blue ones around town received an F rating. Questions posed As instructed by our OMF secretary friend Judy Green out west in California, on April 5 we submitted an e-mailed list of questions about the companys history, its subsidiary base of charitable non profits like CDRF, sales and collection networks, revenue distribution and pay scales for management and operations, noting an April 11 deadline for this story. As of April 12, we had yet to get any reply from OMF management. We do know this, however, according to its subsidiary website and other online references: OMF was incorporated in 1999, in Delaware, perhaps; lists its and at least one subsidiarys business address as Fremont, California; lists its U.S. Banks home office in Topeka, Kansas; and its accounting firms address in Livingston, New Jersey. However, where the money is actually counted and how it is distributed remains a mystery. But our guess it is not in Front Royal or Warren County, Virginia.

Many people know that stress can be bad for your mental health, but as it turns out, it can also be bad for your physical health. Researchers have linked behaviors associated with stress, such as drinking alcohol, using drugs, or even binging on comfort foods, with the deterioration of the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland releases stress hormones that signal to the body whether to fight or get out of the situation (flight). If mollifying substances are introduced into the body, it negatively affects the delicate way the stress system works, and the adrenal gland eventually putters out. That means the body can be in a constant level of stress, or a person can feel stressed even over minor things. This also impacts the heart, liver, blood pressure, and a number of other factors. Keeping stress in check is important, but it shouldnt be done in a way that does more harm than good.

have a good time, said John. Were always trying to think if theres a better way to conduct events, how we can improve things for the following year. Rounding up the famous faces for the Festival is the job of Kay Bolliger, who, along with Trone Kee and Tress Kimble, is a Celebrity Co-chair. I started working with the Festival in 1975, said Kay. One of the first things I did with the Festival was to get gifts for President Gerald Fords daughter, Susan, who was Festival Queen. Then in 1979, the Festival

what they take with them more than anything is knowing that they had a great time in a town that they might not otherwise have ever visited. Though wrangling in a famous actor or musician draws a crowd like Starbucks attracts screenwriters, it takes a lot more than a recognizable name to publicize an event like Apple Blossom and apprise the community of its itinerary. Enter Dario Savarese of USA Sports and Marketing Services in Winchester. Dario balances the spinning plates of a mulit-faceted media and advertising blitz that begins long before the first cotton candy is sold at the Festival. Ive lived in Winchester since 88, but have been coming to Apple Blossom every year since 84, he said. Hes been involved in the Festival since 1994 and his current duties have him interfacing with the various mediums of TV, radio, print, and Web advertising. Being that there are so many events to take part in, he said, weve got to be proactive in not only telling people whats going on, but where they can stay, eat, even park. Dario says that what many people might not realize is that each Apple Blossom Festival is planned almost as soon as the one before it is over. If a person or business wants to host an event, we usually ask that they do so in the summer months, August at the latest. If committee members agree on an event request, the Festival Finance Committee then sorts through as many as sixty-five different budgets and finalizes them in September. Once the events are established and the particulars are in order, the advertising blitz is on. We plug the Festival on a number of radio stations including Q102 and WINC fm, and on TV stations like TV3 in Winchester and, this year, FOX 5 on Saturday for the Grand Feature Parade, said Dario. He also relies on Web Designer Erik Zimmerman at White Spider Graphics, who is Darios goto man for all online Festival material. We feed Erik information, said Dario, and he keeps the website current, adding and removing sponsors, updates to the schedule, everything. One addition that Dario and his team are certainly proud to advertise this year is the arrival of the 9/11 Flag to Winchester. The flag is an amalgamation of other, smaller flags gathered and stitched together by residents of Greensburg, Kansas as a token of their gratitude for New York volunteers who aided Greensburg in repairing their tornado-torn town. The flag will be on display at Millbrook High School, said Dario, and make its way downtown Friday during the Firemens Parade. A long-standing misconception about Apple Blossom time in Winchester is that its easier to find fresh produce in a hardware store than a place to park in town. But there are spots to be had even after the Braddock Street garage and the streets fill up. The Evans Home For Children off of Cork Street has a large lot about four blocks from Old Town, says Dario. The ten dollars they collect for a parking space goes to benefit their operation, so youre helping a good cause. Many people park on the northeast side of town down Woodstock Lane and the streets that branch off it; incidentally, almost all are named after trees, so youll know when youre in the area. Knowing where to look can really save time so you can get out and enjoy the events, says Dario. For any and all information on the 85th Apple Blossom Festival, visit www.thebloom.com. For information on parking and maps of the city, go to www.winchester.gov. To showcase your Hula Hoop and limbo talents, go to the Lifes a Beach party at the Sprint Tent on May 4th at 8 pm.

president at the time asked me to get involved in recruiting celebrities, and Ive been doing it in some capacity since then. She said that she and her fellow committee members will toss around ideas on who to ask to attend or field offers from celebs proffering an appearance. As one might expect, in a smallish town like Winchester, the locals are never short on suggestions, almost all of which Kay and her cohorts will consider. We try to appeal to different demographics, ages, interestswhether its more than one famous person in a given year or if we think theres a certain one that can appeal to everybody. Kay works with brokers who in turn deal with agents in, say, California and New York; the agents then procure their clients services and clear their schedules for the Festival. Mario Lopez, this years Grand Master, had been asked a couple times in the past, said Kay. He finally was able to make it this year. He told us hed been wanting to do it and this year said hes making it a priority to be here. In her 34 years of involvement with Apple Blossom, Kay has seen some changes but says the spirit is always the same: Every year Im reminded why I love doing this. Its because of the volunteers that pitch in to make it happen. Our office staff works nights, weekends, whatever it takes. She said that shes always impressed by the generosity of the local merchants who donate gifts for the celebrities. It might be something from a local jeweler or an instrument, anything, she said. But

Highlighting, or up lighting, is a landscaping technique in which light from below is used to accent certain focal points in a landscape. In many instances, the light is used to illuminate a particularly impressive or unique plant. When highlighting, two or more spot light fixtures are placed at the base of a landscape component and pointed upward. While highlighting is most commonly used to illuminate plants, it can be used to draw attention to other focal points of a landscape as well, including sculptures or other garden structures. Light fixtures are aimed away from observers as a means to preventing glare, and oftentimes the fixtures themselves are camouflaged to maintain the natural beauty of the landscape.
