April Fool’s Prank with a TwistDan Novak of Emmitsburg played an April Fool’s prank on his wife,Candice. He created an official looking document that said they had won thePatty Pollatos, Inc. Charity House Raffle and planted the letter in their mailon April 1. He delivered the mail from the box and watched her sort the mailand read the letter. “She read the letter about four times,” he said. Then shegot really excited, thinking they had won the house. After a few hours, he toldher the news that it was an April Fool’s prank. Dan said, “I didn’t have a verygood night that night.” You might wonder what Dan Novak’s new house, oris it a dog house, looks like. But there’s more to the story.In reality, the charity house was not raffled off since the minimum numberof tickets sold was not met. The raffle was closed and those who entered theraffle were given the option of remaining in the raffle, which would convert toa 50/50, or getting their money back.The drawing for the 50/50 was held on Sunday, April 25. Dan Novakreceived a voice message from Frederick County’s Sheriff, Chuck Jenkins,indicating that he had won the raffle. Yeah, right! Thinking it was a joke, hechecked with his wife who assured him that she wasn’t playing a joke on him.He returned Sheriff Jenkins’ call and asked him if it was a joke. But, as fatewould have it, Candice may have let Dan out of the dog house since his ticketnumber #1708 was indeed the winning ticket. He said, “It’s completely ironic,considering what I had done to her.”Seton Center Thrift Shop Plans Bag SaleThe Thrift Shop of Seton Center, Inc., a nonprofit sponsored work of theDaughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, located at 16840 Seton Avenue,is holding a Bag Sale on Friday, May 7, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and onSaturday, May 8, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Shoppers are allowed to get agrocery-sized paper bag and fill it full of merchandise for just $5.00.The Thrift Shop is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00p.m. and on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.All revenue from the Thrift Ship is used for Seton Center’s Outreachprograms, which provides services for people in need, primarily in northernFrederick County.

8 . the catoctin banner . May 2010continued from cover page...of the square at the Vigilant HoseCompany #6 station, the company’sPresident, Frank Davis, was cleaningup from an event when the alarmsounded at 5:59 a.m. When Frankheard the call, he looked out thefront windows of the station wherehe could see flames at the hotelbuilding reflecting in the windowsacross the street. Knowing then thatthe fire was advanced, he called in asecond alarm, which would result inmore units responding to the scene.Vigilant’s Deputy Chief, JimmyClick, was on duty as the company’son-call commander when the firstalarm sounded, which had beenprompted by Doug’s 911 call. Onhis way to the fire station to pick upthe command vehicle, he passed thehotel and saw flames coming out ofthe second story windows on thefront and South Seton Avenue side ofthe building. He heard Frank’s callfor the second alarm and proceededto retrieve the command vehicle andset up the command station on thesquare in front of the VFW building.He then immersed himself in the jobof directing the company’s plan ofbattle to defeat the fire.The dispatch call indicated thatpeople were possibly trapped insidethe building. So, Jimmy’s first courseof action was to conduct a searchand rescue in the building based onthat assumption. Thus, Jimmy sent acrew into the burning building withtwo water lines. Ready to assist, aRapid Intervention Team (RIT) wason stand-by in case the firefightersneeded rescue.When command officers weresimultaneously informed that thecrew had encountered thick smokeand fire on the second floor and thatall of the residents were in fact outof the building, he pulled the crewand began a defensive attack on thefire. Ken Stewart of EmpoweredLearning, Inc., based in Frazer,Pennsylvania, is a widely respectedfire training professional who isfilming a documentary of the hotelfire in Emmitsburg for fire trainingpurposes. He said, “The commandofficers read the fire correctly topull the crews out. They went intodefensive fire fighting right on time.”Pre-incident planning had beenconducted by local fire companieswith the old hotel building andother taller buildings in the area inmind. Vigilant Hose had purchaseda 75-foot ladder truck to use to fightfires that may occur on the EmmitsburgSquare, at Mount St. Mary’s University,St. Catherine’s Nursing Home or theNational Emergency Training Center.Ken said, “There was some professionalplanning that came together here. It’s noteasy to bring in reserve units, organizethem and the amount of apparatus ittook to fight this fire.”Vigilant set up their laddertruck in the center of the squareas other companies pulled in toassist including Frederick County’sThurmont Guardian Hose, RockyRidge, Graceham, Lewistown, NewMidway, New Market, Wolfsville,Walkersville and Woodsboro;Carroll County’s Taneytown,Harney and Westminster; AdamsCounty, Pennsylvania’s Greenmount,Fairfield, Fountaindale, Gettysburgand Barlow; and Franklin County,Pennsylvania’s Blue Ridge Summitand Waynesboro units.Walkersville’s Ladder #11 setup on South Seton Avenue, CarrollCounty’s Ladder #5 out of Taneytownset up in Stavros’ parking lot andAdams County’s Ladder #1 set up infront of the PNC Bank to the side ofthe square. Later, Carroll County’sTower #3 out of Westminster set up inthe alley beside PNC Bank.Companies who are assignedto respond to area fire calls aredetermined by a mileage radius andthe type of structure involved in anincident. Chip Jewell, Director ofthe Frederick County Volunteer Fireand Rescue Services said, “Everybit of Frederick County’s 654square miles is predetermined onthe assignments.” Back fill, whichis the fill-in by companies furtheraway to cover the void that is leftas local responders and equipmentare dispatched to an incident, is alsopre-determined. Back fill units will becalled to respond if there is anotheralarm at the same time. Chip added,“It’s all focused on how we use ourresources to protect our people. Forexample, when Thurmont respondedto Emmitsburg’s Hotel Fire alarm,Libertytown pulled into Thurmont.”Vigilant Hose Company’s Chief,Chris “Boog” Stahley arrived at thescene of the fire shortly after thecommand station was established.Since all of the company’s officersare trained to be in the commandposition, Chris stepped in to help.He said, “Everything was in place.Bobby (Rosensteel) and Frank(Davis) were on the ladder, Jason(Powell) was in charge of operations.It was done the way I would havedone it.” Throughout the remainderof the incident, officers rotated dutiesand crews rotated attack on the fireto minimize damage to the hotel andsurrounding buildings.Ken Stewart said, “The systemhere absolutely worked. Judgingfrom the position of that buildingfrom a firefighting perspective, it wasdestined to become a parking lot.But, the building is in great shape.Give the fire guys credit that thatbuilding is still standing.”Emmitsburg is home to theUnited States Fire Administrationand its National Fire Academy, theEmergency Management Institute,National Fire Data Center, NationalEmergency Training Center, NationalFallen Firefighters Memorial andFoundation, National Fire HeritageCenter and related entities. The “OldHotel” fire was a significant fire notonly for historical reasons, but alsofor the impact it will have in the fireprofession as it is utilized as a rolemodel for training in the years to come.During any incident, there areofficer positions including command,staging, safety, operations, interior,public information and more. At thecommand post, representatives fromthe Fire Police, Town of Emmitsburg,Sheriff’s Department, Departmentof Fire and Rescue Services and FireMarshall’s Office were all on hand.Members of Frederick’sIndependent Hose Company, VigilantHose Company’s Auxiliary and OurLady of Mt. Carmel Church set upa canteen at the fire house. The RedCross showed up to give aid to thevictims. EMS and Rehab was set upby several ambulance companies andmedic units including Emmitsburgand Thurmont crews. Jimmy Clicksaid, “I was so impressed by howeveryone worked together andcommunicated. There has been anoutpouring of support for everythingand by everybody.”On the street, on-lookersobserved the firefighters doing theirjobs. The mood was heavy withdisappointment about losing thehistoric landmark building, but therewere few tears. Some of the residentswho were rushed out of the burningbuilding could be seen in theirpajamas and bare feet with blanketsdraped around their shoulders. Thesebrave people faced the building evenwhile it was red with flame. They’veshown courage rather than griefthroughout this life-changing event.Chief Chris Stahley said, “Everyonewas safe, the fire was containedto the building of origin and thebuilding is structurally sound afterthe fire.” The last fire unit clearedthe scene at 1:15 p.m. Operationswent smoothly with a good outcomegiven what could have happened.Members of the EmmitsburgBusiness and ProfessionalsAssociation (EBPA), the EmmitsburgLions Club and area businessesjumped into action to see to thewelfare of the residents who lostmost, if not all, of their possessionsin the fire. The Red Cross paid forseveral nights lodging at the SleepInn for the victims of the fire who didnot have a place to go. The FrederickCounty Department of SocialServices extended the hotel stays foran additional six nights. Several localrestaurants hosted dinners for thevictims. The list of businesses, civicgroups, churches and individuals whodonated gift cards, food, clothing andhousehold items is too long to list, butis hugely appreciated. Sue Fogle said,“You don’t know how many friendsyou have who want to help untilsomething like this happens.” Fromthe point of Sue’s first heroic effortsthat morning through the aftermath inthe time that has followed, the list ofEmmitsburg’s heroes has become vast.As of press time, several residentshad found new apartments and hadput to use many of the donationsto start to rebuild their homes.Presently, the point of contact fordonations for the victims of the fireis Sharon Hane of the EmmitsburgLions Club.

Thechurch had a face lift in 2009 by the Boy Scouts of America and, along withthe change, a ministry name was considered by the members. Pastor Ariettaand her congregation wanted to let the community know that this church is alife-changing church, thus a ministry name was born. It is now Life ChangingMinistries of the Church of God of Prophecy. A sign announcing the changewill be forthcoming. The congregation is currently small, but the new themefor 2010 “Stand still and see the glory of the Lord in 2010,” promises it willnot stay small for long.by Jeanne AnglebergerShaklee Associate for a Healthier Lifethe health jeannePerhaps you recall last month I shared information from a health seminarthat I had attended.

Carbohydrates are thebody’s main source of energy.We must be aware of added sugars to processed foods. Therefore, weneed to know the names of these ingredients when reading food labels. Thefollowing are added sugars: beet sugar, brown sugar, cane sugar, confectioner’ssugar, crystallized cane juice, dextrose, fructose, evaporated cane juice, highfructosecorn syrup, honey, invert sugar, Maltodextrin (or dextrin), maplesyrup, molasses, raw sugar, Sucrose (table sugar) and Turbinado sugar.Learn and watch for sugar’s many “disguises.” If the food label lists two ormore, especially near the beginning, the product probably contains a significantamount of sugar.Today it seems that our diets contain too much sugar. If you think regularsoda is better than a glass of water, this may change your mind. A 12-ounceregular soda contains TEN teaspoons of sugar. Even some of the “so-called”energy drinks contain sugar.It is noted that the typical American now eats the equivalent of about 31teaspoons (124 grams) of added sugar every day. That sugar adds up almost500 extra calories, which is about 25 percent of the average person’s caloricintake.The American Heart Association suggests that added sugar should belimited to no more than 6-7 percent of your total calories. Remember this isadded sugar and does not include natural sugar in fruits and dairy products.So, how can you cut down on sugar? The more sugar a product has, the lessnutrients it contains. Read ingredient labels to find the types of added sugars.Choosing more unsweetened beverages or water is certainly a way todecrease your sugar intake. This isa simple step to help reduce addedcalories in your daily diet.Yours truly decreases the sugaramount in her cooking and baking.A favorite Peanut Butter Fudgerecipe called for two cups of sugar.Today the same recipe is preparedusing 2/3 cup of sugar withoutchanging the quality of the fudge.As always, I believe each of usmust take the responsibility of ourhealth.

While Minis are toosmall to be ridden by anyone but asmall child, owners can enjoy themas pets, harness them to drive cartsand wagons or enter them in shows.Minis have been used successfullyas companion guide animals andmobility aids for the blind or hearingimpaired, as well as therapy animalsin hospitals and nursing homes andfor children with special needs.The Mason-Dixon MiniatureHorse Association (MDMHA) is alocal organization that was formedin the fall of 2005 by a group ofindividuals from Maryland andPennsylvania who shared an interestin and love of Miniature Horses.Club President Kelly Drechslerexplains, “Everyone agreed there wasa need to form a regional club thatwas exclusive to the breed and itsgrowing popularity. At that point intime, only local saddle clubs offereda select few Miniature Horse classesfor Mini owners to compete in.Thus, MDMHA became a reality andhosted its first show series in 2006.”Since then, the club has grownto include members from central,south central and southeasternPennsylvania, most of eastern andWE’RE RIGHT AT HOMEWITH PRINTINGsoutheastern Maryland, as well as thepanhandle of West Virginia.Drechsler explains the mission ofthe club: “The MDMHA strives topromote the versatility of this breedby offering various discipline classesat our shows such as halter, driving,jumping, obstacle, trail, costumeand in-hand barrels and poles. Wealso participate in parades, children’ssummer educational programsand other community events.”Throughout the year, the associationhosts a variety of shows, eventsand clinics, meetings and a yearendbanquet. They also publish amonthly newsletter for members andhost a Web site (www.themdmha.com) featuring club news, photos,show information and a Member ofthe Month.“The club serves both adults andyouth in all aspects of MiniatureHorse ownership, while promotingthe breed itself. It provides a safe, funand educational atmosphere focusingon Miniature Horse conformationand showmanship,” Drechsler said.The club always welcomes newmembers, and you do not have toown a Miniature Horse to belong.The “Fun and Fuzzy” SpringShow and Clinic is the first event ofthe show season and is open to thepublic and any interested individualswho are beginning to show Minis,those who need to “brush up” ontheir showing skills or those who arejust interested in having a fun-filledGreat prices.Quality work.Friendly service.PRINTING.

Consult the venuefor dates and times.A Quick Look at the Miniature HorseIn 1978, the American Miniature Horse Association officially established the “Miniature Horse”as a separate horse breed. Miniature Horses were originally bred down from horses and poniesand were often used in mines to pull carts or as pampered pets for kings and queens. They areminiature versions of well-balanced horses and come in a variety of colors and types. Theirsmall size makes them ideal for keeping on limited acreage, and they are great for the noviceowner since they are small and easy to care for. While this may sound appealing, make nomistake, they require as much time and attention, as well as veterinary and hoof care, as theirfull-size counterparts. They measure up to 38 inches at the withers (the last hair at the base ofthe horse’s mane) and often live 25 to 35 years. An average adult weighs between 150 and 250pounds.NUSBAUM &OTT, INC.Painting ContractorsWall CoveringsMHIC #221Westminster: 410-848-8543Fax: 410-848-1920Emmitsburg: 301-447-6517262 E.

22 . the catoctin banner . May 2010Remembering “Buzz” Aldrin of 1969“Dancing with the Stars” beganits 10th season on ABC television,March 22, 2010. Among thecelebrities appearing on the showfor the very first time was Edwin E.“Buzz” Aldrin. Many Americansremember Buzz Aldrin back in themid-1960s when he was selected tobe an astronaut and later becamelunar-module pilot for the first lunarlandingmission in 1969. That was 41years ago, and Buzz was 39 years old.Appearing on “Dancing with theStars” to start off the show’s 10thseason, Buzz was 80 years old buteager to give it a try. After threeweeks of exhausting rehearsals,he was unable to improve hisperformances and was voted out.Buzz Aldrin’s performanceson “Dancing with the Stars” maynot have been the greatest to keephim in the competition beyond thethird week, but he will always beremembered for his performance of41 years ago on July 20, 1969.It all began on April 20, 1961,when President John F. Kennedyasked Vice President Lyndon Johnsonto commission a top-secret surveyof the nation’s space potential in asearch for something meaningful inwhich America could be first.On May 5, 1961, Alan B. Shepardbecame the first American in space.However, Shepard’s achievementwas not as impressive as the actualorbit around the earth by the RussianCosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.In response to Kennedy’srequest, six men met secretly at thePentagon to discuss the possibility ofinterspace travel. It was decided atthat meeting that the United Stateswould strive for a manned landingon the moon before the end of 1969.It was on May 8 when PresidentKennedy received and approved thememorandum.On May 25, Kennedy announcedto congress this message: “I believethis nation should commit itself toachieving the goal, before the decadeis out, of landing a man on the moonand returning him safely to earth.”The strategy was decided, but theactual technique of landing a manon the moon had to be resolved.John Houbolt, an engineer atNASA’s Langley Research Center inHampton, Virginia, believed that thebest, cheapest and quickest way toaccomplish a manned landing on themoon was to send a pair of linkedspacecraft into lunar obit. He feltthat one astronaut should remainin lunar orbit aboard the commandcabin, while two other astronautsdescended to the surface of themoon aboard a landing vehicle.After the moon exploration, thetwo astronauts would launch fromthe surface of the moon, fly back tothe command ship, and join with it.Then they would discard the landingvehicle and return to earth aboardthe command ship.It is important to point out thatthe plan as described above was atfirst ignored, later debated and thenfinally realized. John Houbolt’s ideas,without question, led the way to amoment in history that has neverbeen equaled.Then came July 20, 1969.Astronauts Michael Collins, NeilArmstrong, and Buzz Aldrin,aboard Apollo 11, were ready forthe liftoff. The countdown was inthe final seconds. FIVE.....FOUR.....THREE.....TWO......ONE! At 9:32a.m., the Saturn V rocket fired itsengines and sent the three astronautson their voyage. Their destination,THE MOON. It was a nine-dayexploration that went down inhistory and will never be forgotten.Then came the moment everyonehad been waiting for, the voice ofNeil Armstrong.“I’m at the foot of the ladder. TheLM (Lunar Module) foot pads areonly depressed in the surface about,uh, one or two inches, althoughthe surface appears to be very finegrainedas you get close to it. It’salmost like a powder down there.It’s very fine. I am going to step offthe LM now. THAT’S ONE SMALLSTEP FOR MAN, ONE GIANTLEAP FOR MANKIND.”Buzz Aldrin made his way downthe LM ladder and joined Armstrongon the surface of the moon. It wasestimated that over 600 millionpeople of the world watched theevent.Buzz Aldrin’s performance on“Dancing with the Stars” maynever be remembered or recorded inhistory. But who will argue the factthat his greatest performance was onJuly 20, 1969, 41 years ago, when hedanced on the moon!!1-800-428-6695(fax) 301.271. 2508(cell) 240-405-5144CENTRAL MARYLANDSECURITY SYSTEMS, INC.Serving Maryland, D.C. and the surrounding areas.DynamarkSecurity@comcast.netSales - Service - New & Existing SystemsResidential & Commercial - Central Station MonitoringFamily owned & operated since 1987David A.

Now with Red Boxat the Weis in Thurmont, Netflix in the mail, Blockbuster by mail, and theBlockbuster walk-in video store in the Thurmont Plaza Shopping Center, movierentals in our area are covered. Aren’t they?Last month Netflix and Red Box were no longer carrying all the new releasemovies. They have to wait for 28 days before they are permitted to releasethem. They do not have a direct contract with all the movie studios to releasethe new movies. Who does? Blockbuster Video.Blockbuster Video is trying the rental box venue to see if it benefits them. Theyare limited to the number of movies they can carry, and there is also the option tobuy a used movie, which drops the number of movies available for rent.Isn’t it nice to walk into a business that knows your name and can instantlydirect you to the movies you prefer? At the Blockbuster Video store, that is justwhat happens when customers stop by. The store offers more to its customersthan just renting a movie.The store carries a vast selection of older movies and even VHS. They havethe latest and most popular games for all game systems like Wii, Xbox 360,PS2 and Game Cube. They have a wide selection of Blue Ray Dvd’s, whichthey do not have in the boxes, wide format and full screen DVD movies. Allof these rentals are only $3.75 plus tax for a five night rental. If you forget toreturn it, it is only .99 cents a day extra for the movie.Another service they also offer is disc repair. Not just for movies, but forphoto CDs also; as long as they are not cracked. This service to repair yourfavorite movie or your precious photos it just $2.99 plus tax.Often, they run a sale on previously viewed movies, four for $20.00. Blockbusteralso has a fairly new deal, rent three new release movies for $9.99 plus tax.With life being so busy, it’s easy to forget to return a movie. When itbecomes two days late, Blockbuster will give make a courtesy reminder call.This will help prevent accruing the .99 cent per day rental fee.With so much more to offer in customer service at the walk-in Blockbusterstore, it makes sense to stop in and find out just how beneficial the servicescan be for you. Blockbuster Video is located in the Thurmont Plaza ShoppingCenter on North Church Street in Thurmont.

Happy TrailsBy Valerie NusbaumThe beautiful weather we’ve beenexperiencing has got me thinkingabout vacations. Randy and I love totravel, and we’re both hoping to getaway at least once or twice this year.Whenever I start to plan a vacation,I begin to remember trips we’vealready taken. Some of them have beengreat. Some were not so great.For our 10th wedding anniversary,we took a cruise to Bermuda. Thecruise was long overdue. We hadwanted to go on a cruise for ourhoneymoon, but we couldn’t afford it.Our wedding had ended up costing alot more than we’d planned, but that’sanother story and I don’t like to talkabout it. Someday, maybe I’ll tell youabout the wedding from Hades.Anyway, we were really excited tofinally be onboard a ship. It shouldcome as no surprise to anyone that weset sail at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday andthe storm started at 9:00 p.m. Randyhad been very insistent with me, tellingme to make sure that I brought alongplenty of anti-acid medications for mystomach. He didn’t want me to getseasick and spoil the trip for us. I kepttelling him that I’d be fine. I’ve neverhad a problem with motion sickness.I awoke at around two o’clockin the morning and realized that Iwas rolling around in the bed not ofmy own volition. We were in a tiny,cramped cabin, sleeping in separatetiny beds because we’d never been ona cruise before and didn’t have anyidea what to request when we madethe reservations. I could hear moaningcoming from the other bed. It’s a goodthing that I had listened to Randyand brought along all that medicinebecause someone clearly needed it.We spent all day Monday stuckinside our little cabin watching rerunsof “Law & Order” on the minisculetelevision. There was only one channelavailable at sea. Randy groaned andclutched his stomach every time theship rocked, which was constantly. Ididn’t want to leave him alone whilehe was sick, but I was starving andI hadn’t yet been able to sample anyof the buffets. Seriously, the ship waslisting so badly that I had trouble evenstanding up so I did the only thing Icould do. I ordered room service andI sat on my baby bed and ate a wholepizza while Randy cursed and swore atthe unfairness of life while wearing hisfish jammies. He never lets anyone seehim in his jammies. That’s how I knewhe was really sick. Poor Randy neverbudged from the bed when our cabinsteward, Sherlton, let himself into ourroom.happily ever afterSherlton surveyed the situation andsaid, “Oh, this is not good.”Our faithful steward and newbest friend made his way to thenurse’s office and came back withsome really good pills for nauseaand motion sickness. Sherlton forcedsome pills down Randy’s throat ashe told the poor man, “You have toget better so the lady can go outsidetomorrow. It would be best for bothof you.” According to Sherlton, alarge percentage of the husbands onboard the ship had discovered what wewomen have always known. We’re notthe wimpy little things they think weare.Randy did start to feel better. Theship passed through the storm, and wedocked in King’s Wharf the next day.My hubby was still a bit shaky as wewalked around, and he didn’t feel upto sampling the rum and rum cakesat the factory but that just left morefor me. Randy kept coming up withreasons why I didn’t get sick. It wasprobably because I was already takingan anti-acid medication for my reflux.Yeah, I’m sure that’s the reason.Our first excursion was a speedboat ride in Hamilton. All the men onboard were sharing their stories of theawful seasickness that had befallenthem. Some of the men even had to getshots and were wearing patches. Wewomen just looked at each other anddid that eye-rolling thing and shookour heads.The rest of the trip was great exceptfor the night that our cabin flooded.Bermuda was gorgeous, and the cruiseship food was everything we’d hoped.We came home determined to doanother cruise someday.Well, three years later we flew outto Seattle and boarded a cruise shipto Alaska. This time we’d requesteda suite with a balcony in order tofully appreciate the beautiful Alaskancoastline as we sailed up the InsidePassage. The water was smooth, andwe barely knew that the ship wasmoving. Randy felt wonderful. Hemanaged to drink a few rum punchesand a couple of yellow birds before hefell asleep on the balcony.It turned out to be a good thingthat we had such a nice cabin becausethere was an outbreak of the Norwalkvirus onboard the ship. I got sick andwas quarantined for 24 hours. I evenmissed the chocolate buffet. Randywas proud of himself for not gettingsick, but he spoke too soon. It hit himon the plane coming back from Seattle.Did I mention that we’ll be taking aroad trip this year?Imagination ZoneMay 2010 . the catoctin banner . 25Children and Teens at the Thurmont Regional Libraryby Janet VogelChildren’s Services Supervisor, Thurmont Regional LibraryGet ready to “Make a Splash” at the library this summer!
