Wednesday, August 27, 2008 Judge tosses out Lake Holiday lawsuit WINCHESTER — Lake Holiday Country Club Inc. qualifies as a property owners association under Virginia law, Frederick County Circuit Court Judge John R. Prosser ruled Tuesday in dismissing a lawsuit brought by a small group of lot owners within the gated lakefront community. Despite its staggered development, Lake Holiday has functioned as a single community for more than 35 years, Prosser said. The plaintiffs had claimed that the varying language in Lake Holiday's deeds of dedication gives LHCC no authority to impose annual assessments on lots in certain sections, and only limited authority in others, under the Virginia Property Owners Association Act, enacted in 1989.

MT. JACKSON — As she stood in Route 11 Chips' new 22,000-square-foot plant on Monday, company President Sarah Cohen was surrounded by something not often found at the old plant — open space.
