Change For Food Topples 

$10,000 In Donations 

The Emmitsburg Business and 

Professional Association sponsored a 

“Change for Food” Program where 

change boxes were placed in various 

businesses around Emmitsburg 

for convenient change donations 

at point of purchase. Recently, 

earnings toppled the $10,000 mark 

for the program which benefits the 

Emmitsburg Food Bank. Read more 

about our local food banks on page

Team Penning With A 

Halloween Twist 

On October 30, the Team Penning Competition Season at Double Rock 

Farm in Rocky Ridge came to a close a little differently than other years. Trickor-treating 

and costume parades complete with horses in various disguises 

made for an interesting scene. The event’s hosts, Rick and Bev Long, started 

up the evening with a Pig Roast provided by BBQ to the Rescue. Friends of 

Double Rock also brought a variety of foods for everyone to enjoy throughout the 

End of the Year awards. Awards were given for team penning and ranch sorting. 

Next on the list of events was Trick or Treat at the Trailers. After the 

children got their fill of candy, participants were quick to line up in the show 

ring for the Costume Parade. Riders dressed up along with their horses to 

compete for the best, cutest and funniest costumes. Approximately 20 horses 

and riders participated in Double Rock’s first costume parade. Winners were: 

Prettiest – Paul and 

Susan Harrison as 

the Married Couple; 

Most Creative - 

Connie Adams as 

Catwoman and 

Batman; Scariest - 

Kendra Voland as a 

Headless Horseman; 

Funniest - Duane 

Dickerson and 

Duane Dickerson, 

Jr. as Team Penning 

Patients. After the 

contest, the night was 

concluded with the 

final Team Penning of 

the Year.

October 23 was a very memorable day for three Mother Seton School 

students: Andrew Bramson, Abigail Hamrick, and Patrick Van Der Cruyssen 

(pictured). Having taken first place in the NFL Punt, Pass and Kick at Mother 

Seton School and then again at Sectionals for their various categories in 

Westminster, MD, the three students traveled down to Baltimore to the Raven’s 

stadium to compete at the State level. All three students were able to watch the 

Raven’s game in a sky box with their families and all three were recognized on 

the field during the game. 

Abby Hamrick, a current eighth grader at MSS and daughter of Wes and 

Kim Hamrick of Thurmont, came in first in the Girls age 12-13 category. 

Abby will now have to wait to see if her scores are high enough to take her to 

Nationals. If she has one of the top four scores compared to all of the other 

32 NFL team Punt, Pass and Kick winners, then she will go on to Nationals 

which will be held at one of the NFL playoff games. She will be notified by 

mid-December. 

“The best of the day was meeting the Raven’s mascot, Poe, and going on 

the field after the 3rd quarter and being three feet away from Derrick Mason,” 

said Abby. When asked if she did anything special to prepare for the contest, 

she said she “practiced kicking off of the tee to get better. I’m okay with the 

punting and passing.” 

Patrick Van Der Cruyssen, current eighth grader at MSS and son of John 

and Marguerite Van Der Cruyssen of Cascade, came in second place in the 

Boys age 12-13 category. Drew Bramson, sixth grader at MSS and son of 

Jonathan Bramson and Susan Keane from Blue Ridge Summit, PA, came in 

third place in the Boys age 10-11 category. 

Initiating the Mother Seton School NFL Punt, Pass & Kick competition 

was Physical Education teacher, Danielle Kirby, who was told about the 

program by MSS parent, Jonathan Bramson. NFL Punt, Pass & Kick is a 

national skills competition for boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 15. 

Boys and girls compete separately against their peers. More than three million 

youngsters take part in this competition every year. Sarah Szukalski, current 

sixth grader at MSS and daughter of Gary and Laurie Szukalski of Frederick, 

MD, also competed along with Bramson, Hamrick, and Van Der Cruyssen in 

Westminster where she placed second at the sectional level.

Proposal 

Town Commissioners received 

an update and a proposal from 

the Chesapeake Wildlife Heritage 

group that is renting and managing 

the town property located off of 

Annandale Road. The Heritage 

group is participating in the

They recognized that there is a limit 

to how much space is available 

to downtown area businesses and 

that metered parking is available. 

Commissioner Staiger stated, “We

necessary to have a business in the

Thurmont October 

Public Safety Commission 

Guardian Hose Chief Chris 

Kinnaird proposed the initiation of 

a Public Safety Committee to move 

toward improving public safety. Fire, 

Ambulance, Police and Public Works 

would be represented. Chief Kinnaird 

first brought the idea to the attention 

of Commissioner Lookingbill. Chief 

Kinnaird spoke to the Commissioners 

in the October town hall meeting. He 

spoke of the opportunity to improve 

safety, provide education and solve 

problems together. He also stated 

that their organization would be 

able to apply for available funds to 

help move forward with their vision. 

Commissioner Lookingbill has been 

invited to serve as a liaison for the 

commissioners. Also, once organized, 

public representation would be 

welcome as well. 

Electric Rates Increase/Decrease 

For the first time in 11 years, 

Thurmont will be raising their 

electric rates by about 6 percent. At 

almost the same time this increase 

goes into effect, the town will 

receive an $800,000 wholesale rate 

reduction. Thurmont citizens will 

actually benefit from a 5 percent

Town Manager Blakeslee says that 

the first part of 2011 will reflect the 

higher rate, with the last 7 months 

reflecting the decrease. By 2012, 

the citizens will see the decrease for 

the entire year. Mayor Burns says 

they have been working on the rate 

increase for 4 years and that the 

town had been living on a shoestring 

budget for 10 years. The Mayor and 

two Commissioners voted in favor of 

the resolution. Two board members 

were not present. 

Mayor Burns Encourages Election 

Participation 

Mayor Burns spoke of the 

importance of reading about the 

candidates and participating in 

voting. “Do your civic duty,” stated 

the Mayor. “This could be one of 

the most important elections for 

many years. It’s important to know 

where the candidates stand on issues 

of importance to you.” Information 

about the candidates is on the 

Internet and in the newspapers. 

Also, you can call the candidates 

personally. “The candidates will 

be more than happy to give you a

Ride for the Cure 

by Rebecca long Chaney 

Waves of pink dotted the beautiful 

Catoctin Mountains recently in 

Thurmont as 28 riders took up 

mount to “Ride for the Cure” for 

five hours risking sore behinds and 

backs all to raise nearly $3,500 for 

the Susan G. Komen Chapter of 

Maryland. 

Horses’ manes and tails were 

tied with pink ribbons, a few steeds’ 

ankles were wrapped with pink 

horse tape, some horses’ heads were 

bedazzled with gems, breast cancer 

logo charms dangled from each 

bridle and a large pink breast cancer 

logo was spray painted on the sides 

of every horse’s rump. 

“I just thought the day was 

magical,” said Becky Clarke, 

who helped her two daughters, 

Taylor (14) and Jessica (18), 

organize the event. “It seemed 

everybody was so in the spirit 

and really were there to “Ride 

for the Cure.” All the time that 

riders took to decorate their 

horse and dress in pink... it was 

evident that riders were really 

into making it a breast cancer 

awareness event.” 

According to Clarke, 

the entire trail riding event 

was the brainchild of her 

youngest daughter, Taylor. 

“She needed to come up with 

a service project to achieve 

the sixth and final level of the 

4-H Diamond Clover program,” she 

explained. “It’s like the equivalent of 

reaching the top Eagle level in Boy Scouts. 

“The 4-H Diamond Clover 

program is a program by levels, each 

year you complete a different level 

and each year you must complete 

more and more activities,” Taylor 

said. “That makes you a stronger 

4-H’er. Once you complete a level, 

you get the stone of which level 

you’re on. The first level I received an 

amethyst and the last level, this year, 

I’ll receive a diamond.” 

Taylor is a sophomore at Catoctin 

High School, active in the FFA and a 

member of the Rocky Ridge 4-H Club. 

Jessica who will also earn her Diamond 

Clover is a freshman at West Virginia 

University (WVU) studying agricultural 

extension education. 

Clarke, along with her husband, 

Tim, own Fox Meadow Farm near 

Rocky Ridge where the 12-mile ride 

started and finished. Folks registered, 

donated funds, signed up for door 

prizes donated by a very supportive 

community and enjoyed wonderful 

fellowship before and after the ride. 

“The event started as a small 

project, but as interest grew both 

girls were involved in planning every 

aspect of the event along with my 

guidance,” Clarke said. “Taylor 

designed the beautiful logo. She is 

awesome with computer graphics and 

it took her no time at all to come up 

with a logo, design and web site.” 

Jessica was away at college but 

helped with registration and pledge 

forms and staffed the tables on 

ride day. “She basically handled 

all the paperwork and brought five 

volunteers home from her leadership 

class at WVU to help throughout the 

day — they were invaluable!” 

The Clarkes said the 4-H 

Diamond program was not their only 

motive for picking Breast Cancer as 

their fund to support. “We know 

several relatives and friends that have 

Photo by Rebecca Long Chaney 

Jessica and Taylor standing over their mom at the completion 

of the “Ride for the Cure” all donning their “Ride for the 

Cure” t-shirts designed by Taylor Clarke. 

been affected by breast cancer, so it 

just seemed the logical thing to do. 

Many people during the ride talked 

about friends and family they’ve lost 

to breast cancer or who are fighting it 

now. It was a very special day.” 

A small army of people helped 

make the “Ride for the Cure” a 

success, according to Clarke, people 

and businesses donated food, door 

prizes, money and their time to make 

sure this was an incredible event. 

“The Rocky Ridge 4-H Club 

supplied the food for lunch, property 

owners kindly allowed us to ride the 

boundaries of their pasture fields 

and Catoctin Mountain Orchard 

owner Bobby Black let us and our 

horses rest in his top meadow with 

the most amazing view of the valley 

below,” she added. “The fall foliage 

was beautiful, the riders and horses 

content, we raised lots of money for 

breast cancer — it was a blessed day! 

I am very proud of my daughters.” 

Clarke’s long-time friend, Trish 

Hahn of Thurmont, who helped 

map out the trail ride weeks earlier 

summarized the day, “We couldn’t 

have asked for a more beautiful day, 

or for such a meaningful cause! The 

heavens were shining down on us. 

The Clarkes organized an amazing 

day.”

Colorfest: A Community Event 

by Valerie Nusbaum 

On October 9 and 10, Catoctin 

Colorfest celebrated its 47th year. 

The beautiful weather contributed 

to very large throngs of shoppers 

and eaters. Colorfest is a huge 

selling opportunity for crafters and 

artisans from all over the country, 

but it’s not just the craft vendors 

who benefit from this annual event 

and the hungry crowds who flock to 

Thurmont. There were many local 

nonprofit organizations that held 

fund-raisers during the two-day event. 

The Guardian Hose Company 

of Thurmont sold food at the 

activities grounds. Pit beef and pit 

ham sandwiches were very popular, 

and the meat was even sold by the 

pound. This area also featured the 

best steamers in town, along with 

pizza and Italian sausages. Also 

in the activities grounds area were 

Trinity United Methodist Church 

and the Thurmont Lions Club 

that were selling apple dumplings 

and soup—at least until the apple 

dumplings ran out. Visitors love 

those apple dumplings. Lines for 

the food were long, but not so long 

that customers weren’t willing to 

wait. The Thurmont Grange sold 

ice cream and sodas adjacent to the 

activities grounds. 

The Thurmont Lions Club 

also operated a food trailer at the 

Community Park, 

offering such delights 

as fried Snickers and 

fried Twinkies as well 

as regular fare, and 

the area in front of the 

trailer was always full of 

customers. 

At the entrance to the 

Community Park, the 

Thurmont Community Ambulance 

Company sold their delicious apple 

dumplings again this year, both with 

and without ice cream. At last count 

it was reported that 7,400 were sold. 

Inside the Community Park, two 

local churches were selling food. 

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel reported 

a great year, selling out of several 

items. St. Peter the Apostle Church

thecatoctinbanner.com on the Community Links Page. 

from Libertytown has been selling 

funnel cakes for several years 

now. The Wye River Upper School 

also had a food tent, selling hot 

dogs and roast beef. Other local 

churches throughout the town and 

surrounding areas held bake sales, 

yard sales and offered food. It’s a 

good way to make some money and 

be a part of the community. 

Various organizations throughout 

the town of Thurmont offer parking 

for Colorfest. The Thurmont schools 

parked cars in their lots, generating 

funds to be used for school 

activities throughout the 

year. Both Deerfield United 

Methodist Church and 

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel 

Church collected revenues 

from parking, as did the Boy 

Scouts. The Boy Scouts also 

managed their baggage check 

stand, which offered shoppers 

the opportunity to drop off those 

heavy purchases while shopping 

for more. The Thurmont Historical 

Society rented spaces to vendors and 

held a yard sale. 

Not only did the nonprofit 

organizations around town make 

some money during Colorfest 

weekend, but local businesses got 

in on the act as well. The motels in

the area hosted out-of-town vendors 

and shoppers, and the restaurants all 

did a very steady business during the 

three days that vendors and visitors 

were in town. Some businesses rented 

out their parking lots to additional 

vendors, and many residents with 

properties on Frederick Road and 

Main Street did the same thing. Quite 

a few homeowners allowed cars to 

park on their lawns. Everyone who 

could capitalize on the event did so. 

According to Colorfest President 

Carol Robertson, it was a great year. 

“The crowd seemed to be as big as 

always, and the vendors reported 

good sales. We’re already getting calls 

about next year!” 

Robertson also commented that 

the traffic barrels, which were set up 

along Frederick Road, were a very 

good thing. “The town of Thurmont 

really supports our organization, 

and we appreciate all the work they 

do. We’re glad to be able to give 

something back to the town.”

Thurmont “Makes a Difference” Every Day 

by Theresa Dardanell 

It would be impossible to 

personally thank all of the people 

who contributed to “Make a 

Difference Day” this year. It was 

truly a community event that 

actually started several months ago 

with a fund-raising campaign. If 

you bought mums or cancer support 

signs, you made a difference. If you 

were one of the sponsors of the event 

or volunteered to help, you made a 

difference. If you participated in the 

actual ceremony on October 23, you 

made a difference. 

The day started with an 

admiration walk to symbolize the 

steps taken by those affected by 

cancer. Led by event coordinators 

Shirley Long and Susan Favorite, 

participants walked from Our Lady 

of Mount Carmel Parish Center to 

the Town Square Park. In a touching 

ceremony, ornaments were hung 

on a “remembrance tree” in honor 

of cancer victims, those currently 

fighting the disease, cancer survivors, 

families of those affected, health 

care professionals, caregivers and 

researchers. 

After the return of the walkers, 

the reception started with a welcome 

by Thurmont Lions Club President 

Margarito Ochoa. Dianne 

McLean introduced 

special guests Rosemary 

McDermott, Bill Blakesley 

and Mayor Martin 

Burns. John Brown gave 

a brief history of Make A 

Difference Day. 

Because so many 

people in Thurmont make 

a difference in the lives 

of others every day, part 

of this event included 

awards for outstanding 

community service. Lieutenant Paul 

Allen Droneburg was named the 

2010 Police Officer of the Year, and 

Lynn Stuart was named the 2010 

Volunteer of the Year. 

The focus of the 2010 Thurmont 

Make A Difference Day was cancer 

and the many people who are 

affected by this disease. The guest 

speaker at the reception was Dr. Julie 

Eiseman, a local resident who is also 

a cancer researcher. Dr. Eiseman 

presented a slide show including a 

virtual tour of her cancer lab. She spoke 

about the drug development cycle and 

the compounds currently under study in 

her lab. She gave us hope for the future 

of anti-cancer treatments. 

The most exciting part of the 

event was the presentation of the 

funds. As a result of the generosity 

of the community—a donation 

from R.R. Donnelley, sponsorship 

by Bogley Chevrolet and Thrivent 

Financial for Lutherans, and 

coordination by The Thurmont Lions 

Club—$10,063 was raised. Checks 

were presented to the Catoctin 

Community Medical Fund to assist 

with the cancer-related needs of local 

cancer patients and to Dr. Eiseman’s 

laboratory to further her research.

Volunteer of the year award. From left are Fred Mullins (nominee), Janet Marsh (nominee), George 

Bolling (nominee), Nancy Dutterer (nominee), Lynn Stuart (2010 Volunteer of the year), Margarito 

ochoa (Thurmont Lions Club President), Ghislaine “Gene” Doyon (nominee), Martin Burns (Mayor 

of Thurmont). All of the nominees give generously of their time and talent. Fred Mullins and Gene 

Doyon work tirelessly to help the Thurmont Food Bank; Janet Marsh has accumulated over 25,000 

hours of volunteer service at Lewistown Elementary School; George Bolling founded the LEo Clubs 

in Thurmont Middle and Catoctin High schools; Nancy Dutterer is a lifelong volunteer who has 

helped raise thousands of dollars for various organizations and community members in need. Lynn 

Stuart was chosen as the recipient of the award for her work with numerous projects in Thurmont. 

Lynn founded the Thurmont Garden Club and established the Thurmont A.R.T. Festival. She is an 

active member of the Thurmont Lions Club and an advisor to the Thurmont Middle School LEo 

Club. She can be found at fund-raisers all over town, but her generosity is not limited to service 

organizations. When she sees a need, she finds a way to fill it; for example, sending a note of 

encouragement or a meal to someone in need. She makes a difference every day. As part of the 

award, Lynn will be given the opportunity to chose a charity to receive a $400 donation in her 

name.

Burns, Mayor of Thurmont; Margarito ochoa, Thurmont Lions Club President; Lieutenant Paul 

Allen Droneburg, 2010 Police Officer of the Year; Gregory Eyler, Police Chief of Thurmont. 

Officer Droneburg was chosen for his professionalism, dedication to security and protection, and 

community service. His work goes above and beyond the requirements of his job. Thurmont is 

fortunate to have him in our community. As part of the award, Officer Droneburg will be given the 

opportunity to choose the charity that will receive a $400 donation in his name.

the health jeanne 

Do you worry a lot? You may know someone who does! Worrying can 

affect your health if it becomes chronic. Health articles indicate it can lead 

to a host of health problems like headaches, insomnia, and stomach issues, to 

name just a few. So how do we control it? 

Some may say it’s about control. That it’s useless to worry about things you 

cannot control. This gives it a different perspective. 

There are books you can read to get advice. “How To Stop Worrying 

and Start Living,” by Dale Carnegie, has been a best-seller for decades and 

supposedly is helping many kick the worry habit. Yours truly began learning 

that it was better to use energy for resolving a situation than wasting the 

energy on worrying. In addition, I found listening to self-help tapes are 

helpful. You’ll find these in most book stores. 

Networking can be another avenue to explore. Having a buddy or best 

friend at work with whom you share similar goals can be resourceful. 

Breaking the worry habit takes time. Reminding yourself to focus on the 

present will encourage you to pay attention. You just may notice something of 

pleasure. And, your worries might just fade! 

Ernest Hemingway says it well: “Worry a little bit every day and in a life 

time you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But 

train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.”

Youth Group Rocks for local boy 

Members of the Garfield United Methodist Church Youth group in Foxville, 

known as the King’s Kids, held their annual Rock-A-Thon fundraiser on the 

evening and morning of September tenth and eleventh. 

Each year the group chooses to sponsor an organization, mission, or child 

from the area. This year the King’s Kids decided to raise money for Trevor 

Coblentz. Trevor Coblentz was a healthy toddler, but a tick bite changed his life. 

Trevor is a 4-year-old from Cascade, Md. He developed Rocky Mountain 

spotted fever, then spinal meningitis and spent several months as a patient at 

Hershey (Pa.) Medical Center. He is the son of Terry and Michelle Coblentz. 

As a result of the infections, Trevor is fighting a brain injury. The King’s 

Kids Youth group from Garfield United Methodist Church on Stottlemyer 

road, near Thurmont, wanted to help Trevor and his family by offsetting 

medical expenses through the annual fundraiser. Each youth member 

was responsible for collecting pledges and donations from friends, family, 

neighbors, and church members. 

The youth then met on the evening of September tenth to rock, in rocking 

chairs, a maximum of twelve hours. Each hour they rocked earned them more 

money from their hourly pledges. The goal this year was to raise 1,000 dollars, 

thanks to all the strong support, Garfield United Methodist King’s Kids raised a 

grand total of 2,000 dollars, doubling their initial goal! 

The Trevor Coblentz Care Fund is also established at Susquehanna Bank, 

12875 Washington Township Blvd., Waynesboro, PA 17268. For More

Hillside Turkey Farms to Reopen 


The Hillside Turkey Farms store will be open in time for Thanksgiving. 

That’s good news for us and bad news for the turkeys! According to Judi 

Smith, the plan is for the store to reopen during the second week of November. 

An electrical fire in the smokehouse room caused a tremendous amount of 

damage to most of the building, which houses the store and workrooms. Only 

two rooms were untouched during the fire, with much of the damage being due 

to heavy smoke. There was even smoke damage behind the paneling that was 

pulled off the walls when the building was being gutted. Everything had to be 

replaced except the stainless steel items and those items that could be cleaned 

or scrubbed free of residue. 

Smith reported that the store will probably need to rent refrigerated trucks 

to help handle the holiday volume since only one large walk-in cooler will be 

ready in time for the reopening. The repair work will be ongoing for several 

more weeks, but the store, the rooms directly behind it and the large cooler are 

all expected to be finished shortly. 

Customers have been calling to find out whether the store will be open in 

time to purchase fresh turkeys for the holidays. Smith is urging customers to, 

“Come in and see the finished store during the week of November 8.” The 

store is located at 30 Elm Street in Thurmont. Customers may call 301-271- 

2728 to place orders. 

Smith stated that the family really wants to thank the community for the 

overwhelming support received during this difficult time. Friends, neighbors 

and customers all pitched in to help in many ways, whether it was scrubbing 

and cleaning, or offering to loan things. 

“We are very, very grateful for all the help we received, and we want to 

thank each and every one of you,” said Smith.

Thurmont Captures Title 

Thurmont’s 13-15 year old Babe Ruth Fall Ball team capped off a strong 

season by capturing the league championship, beating Myersville 13-3 in the 

championship game at Loats Field on October 25. 

Thurmont finished the regular season 9-3 and then used strong pitching 

performances and timely hitting in the post-season tournament to win the title 

with four straight wins. Alex Kennedy pitched a one-hitter and homered to lead 

Thurmont past Myersville 11-1 in the opening game. Andrew Weaver pitched 

four strong innings in beating Brunswick 9-5 in the second round. 

Thurmont defeated Smithsburg 11-9 in the semi-finals in a wild, back and 

forth game where the lead changed hands three times. Smithsburg rallied from 

five runs down to take the lead mid-way through the game but Thurmont used 

strong hitting to retake the lead. Extra base hits by Mark Smith, Seth Shubert, 

and Austin Boggs fueled the comeback and Andrew Weaver added a homerun. 

In the Championship game, Seth Shubert pitched four strong innings and 

Thurmont jumped on the Myersville starting pitcher for seven runs in the first 

inning and cruised to the 13-3 win.

Representatives of Catoctin-Aires Twirling 

Corps Attend Clinic in St. Croix 

Donna Landsperger, director and chief instructor for the Catoctin-Aires 

Twirling Corps, and Kelly Reed, assistant coach for the program, were recently 

headlined as top instructors for the first-ever baton twirling clinic held by 

the The St. Croix Majorettes. The four-day event was held on the island of 

St. Croix. Twirlers were invited to participate from various twirling groups, 

including high school band programs, all over St. Croix as well as from Puerto 

Rico and St. Thomas. The twirling organization, Island Twirlers Alliance, was 

represented by approximately 100 girls. 

Clinic topics included various twirling concepts such as rolls, tosses, two 

baton twirling, body work, and dance-twirl style twirling. Twirlers enrolled 

in the program were in classes each of the four days and took part in a final 

presentation for families of participants on the final day of the clinic. Kelly 

Reed performed a competitive solo twirling routine for the audience on the 

final day as well. Donna Landsperger participated in a live radio interview, 

which aired on the island during the time the clinic was held. 

Trainers and participants alike enjoyed a warm welcome from the St. Croix 

Majorettes, who provided a fun-filled and exciting reception to kick off the 

four-day twirling clinic. The reception was complete with Caribbean food and 

beverages and a steel pan drum band for entertainment. 

The Catoctin-Aires FREE Autumn classes for beginners will start in 

November at the Emmitsburg Elementary School. This is a four-week class 

geared for the very beginner student from ages 5 and up. Batons are loaned free 

of charge for class time. All classes are taught by qualified teachers and aides 

with national level experience. Please call 301-271-4326 or 717-334-5567.

“Lefty” Wilders Inducted Into Alvin G. 

Quinn Sports Hall of Fame 

Photo and Story by Carie Stafford 

As a small town boy, Frank 

“Lefty” Wilders dreamed of playing 

sports. He was an all-around athlete 

serving as captain of the soccer team, 

playing basketball and his favorite 

sport, baseball. A small town boy 

that enjoyed the game never dreamed 

that one day he would be inducted 

into the Alvin G. Quinn Sports Hall 

of Fame in Frederick County. 

Frank always did what he loved 

to do—play ball. He was one of a 

few left-handed pitchers in Thurmont 

High School and thus earned the 

nickname “Lefty.” Graduating in 

1947 from Thurmont High School, 

Frank was drafted to the Brooklyn 

Dodgers and spent the next years 

perfecting his left-handed curve ball, 

averaging 10 strike outs per game 

with an ERA of 3.2 and a batting 

average over .300. 

In between his time with the 

Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York 

Yankees, Frank was recuperating 

from injuries due to the baseball 

back home in Thurmont. He once 

again made his mark on his home 

front by pitching the Washington 

County League to victory in 1949. 

In 1950, Frank’s contract was 

bought out by the New York 

Yankees where he played until 1954. 

When the Korean War started, 

Frank made an honorable decision 

to serve his country and enlisted in 

the U.S. Air Force. While playing ball 

with some fellow soldiers, his talent 

was noticed and he was asked to 

play on the Air Force Baseball Team. 

Seizing the opportunity to do what 

he loved to do best, he accepted. 

With that acceptance came the 

chance to travel all over Europe and 

the Mediterranean, with Casablanca, 

Frankfurt and Berlin, Germany, 

being his most memorable visits. 

After coming home from the Air 

Force, Frank continued to stay active 

in his favorite sport by coaching 

the Thurmont American Legion 

team and the Thurmont League, 

playing for Thurmont and winning 

the pennant in the Maryland State 

League in 1956. With his many wins 

and losses along the way, Frank 

“Lefty” Wilders always did what he 

loved best—play ball. His love of 

the game and his experience helped 

him to instill the love of the game 

in many young players through the 

years. 

In January 2010, Frank was 

inducted into Frederick County’s 

Alvin G. Quinn Sports Hall of 

Fame. With the shortest speech, 

but with it all said, “I played minor 

league baseball for the Dodgers 

and Yankees and won honors along 

the way. This tonight is the highest 

honor I’ve ever received. This is 

about as good as it gets. A very 

special thanks to Bob Reid and Jack 

Davis for all their special efforts.” 

Frank still lives in his home town 

of Thurmont with his wife, Drusilla 

Wilders. He is enjoying retirement 

from RR Donnelly, but most of all 

you can find him on game days in 

front of the television cheering his 

team on. Thank you “Lefty” for 

your love of the game and your 

inspiration that has fueled many of 

the young talent in our small town. 

Lefty would like to say thank you to 

Jack Davis and Bob Reid for their 

support.

Music for Advent Season series 

On Wednesday, December 1 and December 12, the National Shrine of 

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton will host Music for Advent Season series. Each 

concert will begin at noon and last approximately a half hour. Dr. Elizabeth 

Krouse, organist at the National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, and guest 

organist, Miriam Meglan, Organist at St. John UCC in Chambersburg, PA, will 

perform music of the Advent Season on the historic Möller organ housed in the 

Basilica. 

The program is offered at no charge, but free-will donations will be 

accepted to benefit the restoration of the organ. Walking gardens, historic 

buildings, and Visitor’s Center will also be open. More information is available 

at www.setonshrine.org or by calling 301-477-6606. 

Holiday Bazaar 

Thurmont United Methodist Church is sponsoring a Holiday Bazaar on 

Saturday, November 20th, from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. at the church (13880 

Long Rd). 

There will be crafts and baked goods for sale. There will also be Chicken 

Corn Soup and Ham & Cheese Sandwiches for sale (advance orders may be 

placed for the soup and sandwiches by calling the church at 301-271-4511). 

Seton Center Seeks ‘Holiday Sponsors’ 

When people are hungry, alone or out-of-work, the holiday season can be 

daunting. For more than 25 years, the people of Emmitsburg, Thurmont and 

surrounding areas have given generously through the Seton Center to make the 

Thanksgiving and Christmas season a little brighter for those in need. After 

the blizzards last winter, it’s not surprising that so many families are asking for 

snow boots and winter coats for their children. 

When a person or group sponsors a family for Thanksgiving, we request 

that they bring in nonperishable food items and a local supermarket gift 

certificate for a turkey or other perishable foods. For Christmas, sponsors can 

provide toys, clothing or food (or all three) for a family. Donations of money 

or gift cards are also accepted. The scheduled drop-off date for Thanksgiving is 

Friday, November 19, in the morning. For Christmas, the drop-off date is Friday, 

December 17. To help, please call Sr. Salvatrice Murphy at 301-447-6102.

Mountaintop Community Fall Fair and Art 

Showcase 

A great way to start your Christmas shopping or to shop for yourself is to 

visit the second annual Mountaintop Community Fall Fair and Art Showcase 

on Saturday, November 6 at the Blue Ridge Volunteer Fire and Rescue Co., 

13063 Monterey Lane, Blue Ridge Summit PA. The fun and activities begin at 

9:00 a.m. and run until 3:00 p.m. There is NO admission charge. 

This event was begun last November to benefit the Amanda Bowders 

Memorial Community Garden. Amanda was a bright, out-going, communityminded 

young woman who was killed in a sledding accident at Hooverville 

School on February 14th, 2007. She was 18 years of age. She was in line to receive 

her Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest order of achievement which can be earned. 

All proceeds will be used to continue the development of this public facility. 

Local singer and song writer, Rich Fehle as well as local artists Kathy 

Renninger and Mary Alice Baumgardner, potter Valerie Parsons and artist 

Pastor Bill Hammann are featured. There will also be hand painted baskets, 

candles, jewelry and natural aromatherapy products, gems and fossils and 

baked goods. 

There’s always good eating with food, consisting of breakfast items, 

homemade soups, salads and sandwiches, provided by the Blue Ridge Summit 

Fire and Rescue Company. 

The popular Collectibles Road Show will again take place, with several 

appraisers available to inspect your “treasures from the attic” and give you an 

estimated value. Cost is $5 per item with a limit of 3 each time. The quantity 

and quality of the “treasures” brought in has been amazing, and some very 

rare pieces have been discovered while cleaning the attic. 

New this year will be an auction to be held from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m., with a 

variety of donated items, including antiques and collectibles, services and new 

items to bid on. There were some great bargains at the auction last March! 

If you have an item to donate or need additional information about this 

year’s event, please contact Lynn or Duke Martin at (717) 642-5645 and (717) 

729-0188, e-mail jacksmtn@embarqmail.com; or Kevin Kipe at (301) 241- 

4863. Booth space is still available at $10 per space which includes an 8’ table.

Who 

Am I? 

by Angela Schaffert 

Your clues from the last issue 

were: “Always in a band; a regular 

Legion musician; a counselor for 

kids; traveled over the mountain and 

through the woods to get to work; a 

coach of track and cross country in the 

city; a rice named snake; xoxo ymmij.” 

Those who guessed correctly are: 

Nancy Kreitz, Bonnie Albaugh, Mary 

Jo Willard. 

I am Charles Rice. 

Charles Rice grew up in Jefferson, 

Maryland and was given the 

nickname “Snake” as a young child 

for unknown reasons. He attended 

Frederick High School where he 

played football, basketball and 

baseball and played in the band. He 

met his wife, Donna (Rinehart) from 

Leitersburg, Maryland while they 

were both in college at Towson State 

Teachers College. Rice plays tenor 

sax and keyboard. He worked his 

way through college playing music 

in clubs in Baltimore and Frederick. 

He’s played in many bands over the 

years and likes to play “anything you 

can dance to.” 

Some of you may recall when he 

played at the Thurmont Legion with 

Kirk and Friends in the 70’s and 

80’s. Rice’s most recent band was 

with Bill Krantz Band. With them, 

he sometimes played at Pen Mar Park 

and other local venues. 

Rice is now playing solo by 

volunteering at churches, nursing 

homes, and sometimes class reunions.

He plays music by ear and if he hears 

a note on the piano his hands know 

where that sound should be on a 

sax. He said, “I don’t understand it, 

I guess I was just born with it,” says 

Rice. 

Rice served in the United States 

Navy when he was drafted in 1957. 

He was stationed in New Port, 

Rhode Island. He also worked at 

Fairchild in Hagerstown where 

he performed engineering tests on 

airplanes and guided missiles to 

make sure they were air certified. 

He says he once received a raise at 

8:00 a.m. then got laid off at 9:00 

a.m. the same day because the job 

depended on getting a contract that 

fell through. 

He taught math and science at 

Frederick High School during most 

of the 1960’s. He also coached track 

and cross country there. 

Rice lives in Hagerstown and 

used to drive over the mountains 

on route #77 to get to work at 

Thurmont Middle School where 

he was a counselor from ‘71 to 

‘92. He recalls that career fondly 

since he enjoyed working with the 

students and their parents. While at

Making a 

Difference With 

Chrysanthemums 

2010 marks the 5th 

Annual “Make a Difference 

Day” in Thurmont. One 

project coordinated by 

the Thurmont Lions Club 

this year involved the sale 

of 688 chrysanthemums, 

with proceeds benefiting 

local cancer patients and 

cancer research. Many of 

the individuals purchasing mums requested that the flowers be shared with 

residents of St. Catherine’s Nursing Center in nearby Emmitsburg. Lions 

Club members (back row, from left) Sharon Windsor, Joyce Anthony, Gene

lEOs Changing 

Thurmont 

“When elections end, there 

slavery begins,” noted John 

Adams almost 200 years ago. 

The citizens of Thurmont made 

certain that they would not 

fulfill John Adams’ prediction by 

exercising their sacred right to 

vote on November 2. Unknown 

to many Thurmont residents, 

another group was also 

exercising this important right 

by electing their own governing

officers. The group is known as the LEO Club and is made up of high school 

and middle school students. Under the guidance of the school advisors and 

members of the Thurmont Lions Club, these young LEOs are receiving actual, 

hands-on experience in how to lead and participate in community activities. 

Before we know it, the members of these LEO Clubs will be our leaders and 

decision-makers, having learned the importance of service to their community 

as today’s LEOs. 

With the help of their advisor, Candace Desonier, the Thurmont Middle 

School LEOs held an open meeting to vote for their officers. The officers for 

the 2010 - 2011 school year are Bubba Williams, President; Rachel Cassidy, 

Vice-President; Kiley Warner, Secretary; Garrett Buckley, Treasurer; Katelyn 

Simmel, Public Relations; Ashley Ritchie and Brett Wood, Directors. The 

Thurmont Middle School officers intend to guide their club towards greatness 

through service. As members of the LEO Club, each member shall have 

opportunities in learning how to organize successful fundraising projects, how 

to create ways to support the community of Thurmont, and most importantly, 

how to have good, old-fashioned fun. After an exciting time at Camp Merrick 

Leadership Camp during the weekend of October 22nd, the LEOs assisted the 

Thurmont Lions Club at the Fall Food Fest on October 30. They will also be 

participating in a fund-raiser selling Bon-Ton coupons. Their enthusiasm and 

desire to serve brings pride to all of the involved adults. 

The Catoctin High School LEOs 

see many needs in the community. 

Because of the poor economy, the 

high school LEOs have a special 

concern for the hungry. One of their 

major projects for the 2010-2011 

school year is to feed the hungry, 

especially the little children. If you 

know an enthusiastic young person 

with a heart for helping others, 

please contact one of the Thurmont 

Lions Club members.

If I Should Die 

Every once in a while I come 

across an item that I feel is worth 

keeping. As the years passed my file 

has grown considerably. On a recent 

afternoon, with nothing special to 

do, I pulled out one of my folders 

titled “Items To Save,” and came 

across an item which I would like to 

share with the readers of this column. 

I have no idea where it came from 

or why it ended up in my file. I must 

have saved it for a reason. 

The contents of the item tell 

a story which I think is most 

important, and worth repeating, no 

matter how old it gets or how often 

it appears in print. It is in the form 

of a letter written by a lad in the 

Infantry of the United States Army 

to his parents. It goes something like 

this..... 

“If I should die during my tour in 

Vietnam, I want my parents to read 

and to understand the following: 

1. I came here by choice. I joined 

the Army by choice. I chose to 

become an Infantry officer. It was 

my destiny to become a professional 

soldier. Fighting for my country, 

right or wrong, is a job that must be 

done. It is a job that I feel I am best 

at. 

2. The American people too 

often forget what the Flag stands 

for. I am a Patriot, and I believe 

in our country, and I believe in our 

system of government. I feel that 

my country is worth fighting for and 

if need be, worth dying for. The 

country we have today was not built 

by the weak, and the disbelievers. It 

was built with the blood of men who 

felt they had something worth dying 

for. I think it is the duty, the right 

and the privilege of every American 

to fight for this country. It has to 

be this way, and thank God there 

are still men left in our country who 

believe. The people in the streets 

who protest our country and its 

policies have that right to protest 

only because men believe enough 

in the system to give their lives for 

it. There are still men with dreams 

and ideals that they feel are really 

worth fighting for. This is what I also 

believe in. 

If I should die, for a reason, my

life bought something, it was not 

wasted. I believe this, otherwise I 

would not be here. 

I am a believer, a dreamer, 

a patriot, and most of all, a 

professional soldier in the United 

States Army, from the bottom of my 

boots to the top of my steel hat. I 

feel proud and honored to serve my 

country and with men who believe. 

If I should die, my life was not 

wasted. 

Your loving son Bruce 

----------------------------------- 

As I read the newspapers and 

watch the news on TV, see the 

thousands of starving people in the 

world and hear of the problems and 

the fighting in other parts of the 

world, I can’t help but think how 

great it is to be and American and 

live where I do. We enjoy so many 

freedoms, and yet we seem to take 

them for granted. 

The ideal of freedom has traveled 

a long and hard road through human 

history. Yet the record shows that in 

the face of adversity and force and 

terror, that the passion for equal 

rights for all is the ultimate weapon 

in the struggle for independence and 

human dignity. 

How lucky we are, as Americans. 

We live in a free and open society. 

That is where our strength and 

greatness lies. We do not hide our 

faults behind a wall. We do not try 

to bury our mistakes. We do not 

conceal incidents, even though they 

may be shameful. 

In the final analysis, every issue 

comes at last to a set of intellectual 

and moral decisions within the 

mind and heart of each one of us as 

individuals. Like the Infantry Officer 

Bruce, our experiences each day 

reinforce our convictions that our 

democracy will stand or fall on the 

capacity of each individual American 

citizen to meet his responsibilities. 

THANK GOD, I AM AN 

AMERICAN.

They call it Thanksgiving for a 

reason. We acknowledge thanks for 

our Maker, food, families, friends, 

jobs, clothing and shelter. 

This Thanksgiving extend your 

gratitude to include the innate 

functions of a healthy body. 

As you sit around the table 

enjoying the holiday foods, give 

thanks for vision to see the fruits 

of your labor. Give thanks that 

you can smell the pumpkin pie 

baking. Appreciate the sense of taste 

for Grandma’s homemade rolls. 

Express gratitude that you can hear 

the blessing and the chatter of the 

children. Acknowledge how it feels 

to touch those you love. All of these 

senses come to us without us having 

to think about them. They just 

happen and most of us take these 

gifts for granted. 

We don’t think about how to 

chew or swallow, digest or assimilate 

our meal. You can’t consciously 

direct the vegetables, proteins, sugars 

and enzymes where to go for the 

greater good of your body. It just 

happens! We don’t have to think 

about making our heart beat or our 

lungs expand. 

When was the last time you asked 

body wisdom 

your body to produce blood and then 

make it flow? 

Have you asked for the creation of 

new cells today? Have you requested 

proper kidney function? We don’t 

tell our liver, stomach, gall bladder, 

intestines or skin how or when to do 

their job. Breathing, blinking and the 

synchronized action of our muscles 

and bones, can be controlled but 

primarily it happens without our 

conscious command. Even holding 

this newspaper in your hands is an 

automatic response to a subconscious 

thought of this amazing body you 

live in. 

Pause for a few minutes every day, 

not just Thanksgiving, to express 

thanks for the wisdom of your body.

tickling our taste buds 

by Denise Valentine, 

A monthly column by a community member who loves to cook! 

Hello everyone…..with Thanksgiving and Christmas fast approaching, we 

will be faced with “leftover syndrome” again very soon. Most families have 

a large turkey, a ham or maybe a pork roast. In most cases the theory is to go 

bigger to make sure there is plenty for everyone. 

For days, weeks if you freeze some, we will be eating those leftovers in one 

form or another. After having that huge holiday meal, most folks are satisfied 

with a lighter fare of sandwiches and soup for a couple of days. 

Since Maryland is famous for our crabs, I thought I would share a few of 

our family’s favorite varieties of crab soup. 

The vegetable-based version, Maryland Crab Soup is quick and easy and 

I’ve been making it this way for years. My daughter, Amanda found this 

Cream of Crab Soup Recipe in a Dairy Princess Pamphlet featuring dairy 

products. This has become one of her specialties. I hope you enjoy! 

Have a Happy Thanksgiving! 

Cream of Crab Soup 

¾ cup butter 1 qt. of milk 

1 cup flour 1 qt. half and half 

3 cubes chicken bouillon, crushed 1 lb. back fin crabmeat 

White pepper to taste Old Bay Seasoning to taste 

Melt butter, blend in flour and pepper. Stirring, simmer for one minute. Add 

milk, half and half and bouillon. Simmer, stirring constantly until thick. Add 

crabmeat and Old Bay and heat through. 

Quick Crab Soup 

6 lb. of frozen mixed vegetables 3 15 oz. cans diced potatoes 

(peas, carrots, corn, etc.) 2 lb. of claw crabmeat 

3 28 oz. cans of crushed tomatoes Old Bay Seasoning 

64 oz. container of tomato juice 8 Beef Bouillon Cubes 

In 12 qt. stockpot dissolve 8 beef bouillon cubes in 8 cups of hot water. 

Add crushed tomatoes (and juice), half of the tomato juice, the frozen 

vegetables, crabmeat and 3-4 tablespoons of Old Bay. Heat on medium-high 

heat until the vegetables are thawed. Drain the potatoes and add to the 

mixture. Add water to the remaining half of the tomato juice and add to 

mixture. Add Old Bay to desired flavor is achieved. Simmer for at least 2 hours 

for flavor to incorporate into vegetables. Makes approx. 2 gallon.

Thurmont Heritage 

Sponsors Johnny & 

June Tribute band 

On October 22, Green Grove 

Gardens in Green Castle, Penn. was 

the location for a dinner and concert 

featuring the Johnny Cash & June 

Carter Tribute Band. The event was 

sponsored by Thurmont Heritage 

Days. Dinner was catered by 

Mountain Gate Family Restaurant 

of Waynesboro. Mr. Keith McCleaf 

and Sandy Bolling did a fabulous job 

with the table arrangements and the 

excellent food. 


All who attended had a wonderful evening with good food and good music. 

The band was phenomenal. Joan Knott of Cascade commented that if you 

close your eyes, you would think that it was really Johnny Cash. The band 

sang happy birthday to Mr. Eyler and Dexter in the audience. The band also 

announced that there were two couples celebrating their wedding anniversaries 

in the audience. 

The band from Johnstown, Penn. wants everyone to understand that they 

are a tribute to Johnny Cash. Randy said he is not impersonating Johnny Cash; 

they are paying tribute to the “Man in Black”. They try to keep everything the 

way Johnny Cash would have when he performed.

a real keepsake treasure. Many other items will be auctioned off throughout 

the night in the live and silent auction. Sponsored by the Mother Seton School

Shriner’s Day 

at the Farm 

Shriners Day at the Farm 

was held at Double Rock 

Farm in Rocky Ridge on 

July 11. The event raised 

$600.00 for the Tim Wilkins 

Memorial for Shriners’ 

Hospitals for Children.

Shriners Hospitals for Children is a one-of-a-kind health care system 

dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing pediatric specialty 

care, innovative research and outstanding teaching programs. Every year, the 

22 hospitals that make up Shriners provide care for thousands of kids with 

orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate, in 

a family-centered environment at no charge to the families. Shriners Hospitals 

have been helping kids defy the odds since 1922. 


boy Scout Troop 270 Travel South 

In August, Boy Scout Troop 

270 traveled to North and South 

Carolina to learn more about the 

impact of the South during the Civil 

War. Starting in Wilmington, N.C., 

the Scouts visited Wrightsville Beach 

and toured the USS North Carolina, 

a World War II battleship. The 

Scouts camped out in sweltering 98 

degree weather. 

Then the Scouts traveled further 

south to South Carolina where they 

stayed aboard the USS Yorktown, an 

aircraft carrier anchored in Patriots 

Point. Having full rein from bow 

Photo by Carie Stafford 

to stern, the boys were amazed at the vastness of the ship. The Scouts took 

classes on naval and aviation history and then took turns in a flight simulator, 

where they tried their best to fly a virtual airplane. In the evening the Scouts 

slept in the berthing area of the aircraft carrier where the sailors once slept. 

Boy Scout Troop 270 was honored and privileged to raise the Confederate 

Flag at Ft. Sumter National Monument. After raising the flag the boys toured 

the monument where they were awed in the wonder of its history. Ft. Sumter 

is where the opening shots of the Civil War began on April 12, 1861. 

Boy Scout Troop 270 learned that the impact of the Civil War was not just 

in Gettysburg, PA. It stretched to places they have just begun to explore.

Grin and bare It 


At my last dental checkup, my 

dentist told me that I need braces. 

I was shocked to hear it. I’ve been 

a patient of this particular dentist 

for years and years, and he’s never 

mentioned that my bite is off. He 

should have told me about it 20 years 

ago when it might have mattered— 

back when my lady parts were still 

perky and I had less facial hair than 

my husband. I just can’t see myself 

wearing braces as I try to brush my 

teeth with my arthritic hands. It 

seems wrong somehow. 

The dentist said that my bite is off 

because my teeth have shifted. The 

shifting was caused by me clenching 

my jaw. I did notice that I was doing 

some serious clenching as he was 

suggesting the names of orthodontists 

I should call—my jaw, my fists, 

and a cheek or two. I do clench my 

jaw a lot. The dentist is right about 

that. It keeps me from saying things I 

shouldn’t say and has probably saved 

a life or two. I’m making a concerted 

effort to stop clenching, but it’s hard 

because life can be so darned irritating. 

Dr. Sadist also made me go out 

and get a rechargeable toothbrush 

since I apparently don’t brush my 

teeth properly. I find this especially 

odd because I’ve had exactly two 

cavities in my entire life. I thoroughly 

dislike brushing with the new 

toothbrush. You may find this hard 

to believe, but it’s too big for my 

mouth. Even when I load it with 

toothpaste, I still can’t work up a 

good lather, and I like to look like I 

have rabies when I brush my teeth. 

The worst part is that every time I 

use the clumsy thing, I get drool all 

the way up my sleeve. My mouth 

doesn’t feel clean either, so I end 

up brushing again with a regular 

toothbrush. I’m sure this destroys all 

the good I’m doing with the electric 

menace. Dr. S. says that I brush 

entirely too hard with my regular 

brush and that I’ve been causing my 

gums to recede. Blah, blah, blah. 

Randy’s dentist made him get 

a rechargeable toothbrush too, as 

well as a WaterPic. Hubby doesn’t 

like them either, but he’s solved the 

problem by putting them under the 

sink in his bathroom. Randy sees a 

different dentist than I do, so they 

must all be in cahoots with Oral-B. 

I’m crushed to know that my teeth 

aren’t straight. I’ve always thought 

they were. That’s the only thing I had 

going for me. I’m blind as a bat, my 

hearing isn’t great, and I can count 

the number of “good hair” days I’ve 

had lately on one hand. 

I’m trying to be a Big Girl about 

it. When I get dressed in the morning, 

I pull on my mom jeans over top of 

my granny panties and I face the day 

as usual. The only problem is that my 

pants don’t fit. 

Am I the only one who’s having 

this problem? I go to the store and 

buy a pair of jeans or slacks in my 

regular size. I get them home and try 

them on and the waist seems to be six 

inches too wide. The manufacturers 

are calling it the “Modern Fit” or 

advising us that the pants will sit just 

below the natural waist. What the 

heck does that mean? I want a pair 

of pants that I don’t have to yank up 

every time I stand up or get in and 

out of the car. I don’t like to wear 

belts, but I have to resort to that 

almost all the time now. I’ve tried 

buying a smaller size or even going 

down two sizes. It’s ridiculous. If the 

clothing designers want to trick us 

into thinking we’ve lost weight, there 

are better ways to do it. Now, I’m 

not only worrying that my bite is off. 

I’m afraid that my hips are off, too. 

The whole magical pants thing is 

apparently happening in the men’s 

department as well. Randy says that 

his waist is getting smaller. He’s just too 

happy about it for me to burst his bubble. 

I’ve learned recently that I’m 

approximately the same age as 

Barbie, Mickey Mouse and Fred 

Flintstone. Barbie has held up much 

better than I have, but then she’s 

mostly plastic just like a lot of other 

celebrities. Did anybody really 

believe that Lisa Rinna’s puffy lips 

were natural? For years she swore 

that she was born that way, but the 

other day I heard that she’d had 

surgery to remove the silicone she’d 

had put in her lips 20 years ago. 

I’d consider plastic surgery or 

Botox or something else, but the truth 

is I would need a full-body cast. And 

if my body were perfect, then my 

crooked bite would really stand out.

Children and Teens at the Thurmont Regional library 

by Janet Vogel 

Children’s Services Supervisor, Thurmont Regional library 

It’s almost Thanksgiving, and 

here at the library, we are thankful 

for wonderful volunteers who 

help us with programs. One of our 

favorites is Wags for Hope, which 

allows children to read aloud to 

registered therapy dogs at the library. 

Volunteer trainers bring their dogs 

to the library, and children enjoy 

reading aloud and improving their 

reading skills. All ages and reading 

levels are welcome, and parents may 

even come and read aloud to their 

child and the dog. Our next Wags 

for Hope program will occur this 

Saturday, November 6, at 10:30 a.m. 

Don’t forget to register! 

After Thanksgiving, when the 

shopping is finished, and you are 

looking for things to do, stop 

by the library. We will open the 

Imagination Zone for Born to Play 

on November 26 from 10:00-11:30 

a.m. with plenty of toys, games, and 

imagination starters for children 

birth-age 5. Not in that age group 

or coming later? The library has 

computers, games, and toys for 

children of all ages. Don’t forget to 

check out a DVD, magazine or your 

favorite book to complete your visit!

play throughout the day. After our 

event, one lucky winner will take the 

basket home to keep! More details 

will be available as the date draws near. 

Teens! It’s about time to make 

your very own bedazzled CD clock! 

We’ll have all of the supplies – you 

just need to bring your imagination 

on Saturday, November 6 at 1:00

I want to start by saying thank you to Well-Fit Aerobic 

and Fitness center and the sta� for helping me � nd the real 

woman in me. It has been three years since I started at Well- 

Fit. I still remember that � rst day. I thought I was going to 

pass out. It has been a hard road but so worth the outcome. 

In 24 months I have lost: 44.5 lbs., 37.5 inches and 12.8% 

body fat. 

I never knew I would enjoy going to the gym. I have 

so much more energy and my quality of life has been 

enhanced greatly. I know that without the love and support 

of my family and friends, I may not have made it to this 

point. 

I started going to Well-Fit a� er I saw what a di� erence it 

made in my brother-in-law (Ed Schildt). Now I know how 

hard he worked. I have a lot more good days than bad and I 

push myself on those bad days because I will not let myself 

go back to that fat miserable person. I don’t diet, but I do 

watch how much I eat. I am almost at my goal of 50 lbs. I 

will not stop until I get there, hopefully by January. 

I am very grateful to my husband who not only supports 

me but comes to the gym and works out with me. To those 

of you who think you can’t do it, YOU CAN! Come and 

join me at Well-Fit. You will be welcomed, supported and 

trained to accomplish the goals you set for yourself. 

Patty Schidlt 

� is is me Now. 

Join us at Well-Fit for results.

One of the most 

anticipated yearly 

events at Mother Seton 

School is Grandparent’s 

Day. This year over 

200 grandparents, 

great grandparents, 

and elders participated 

in Grandparent’s 

Day at Mother Seton 

School, Emmitsburg, on 

September 17. 

Grandparents and 

elders were greeted to 

a welcoming reception 

with refreshments 

and fellowship before 

taking their seats in the 

full gymnasium. MSS 

Students then presented 

a wonderful program of 

songs, cheers, and puppetry all with the one theme: appreciation and gratitude 

for their grandparents and elders! 

All grandparents and friends had the opportunity to spend time with their 

grandchildren in their classroom where special gifts and class activities were 

prepared. First and second grade students enjoyed a special treat of ‘Grapes 

and Grahams’ with their grandparents and grades 7 & 8 played a trivia game 

with their grandparents comparing school days of old to today’s school days. 

Mrs. Gwen Topper graduated from Mother Seton School in 1958, has two 

daughters that graduated from MSS, and a granddaughter currently attending 

MSS. “Spending the time with my granddaughter in her classroom was the 

best part of the day. We played word puzzles and she showed me some of the 

work that she recently did. I really enjoyed myself,” said Mrs. Topper.

students and Moms. Thank you to the PTA volunteers who made these two

With one out of six American families now relying on pantries to help 

feed them, the pantries often have a hard time meeting the demand. This is 

especially true at the Thurmont Food Bank where 800 people per month 

receive food. The Food Bank is sponsored by the Thurmont Ministerium 

and is run completely by volunteers. It relies on donations from individuals, 

organizations and churches to feed the hungry in Thurmont, Lewistown, 

Graceham, Rocky Ridge, Sabillasville and surrounding areas. This summer the 

Thurmont Food Bank and food banks across the nation have struggled to keep 

up with the demand. 

At the same time, farmers and backyard gardeners have found that their 

vegetable and fruit gardens have provided far more produce than they can 

possibly use or share with friends. The remainder is often either left to rot 

in the garden or put into the trash. Gardeners who want to share part of 

their harvest are often unable to find local pantries because they typically do 

not have a yellow page listing or an Internet presence. To address this, the 

AmpleHarvest.org web site enables food pantries to register their name, phone 

and address, to make it easier to find, and days and times they can accept the 

produce. Now that The Thurmont Food Bank is a part of the AmpleHarvest. 

org Campaign, area backyard gardeners have another means of finding the 

pantry and can use the personalized driving instructions available on the site. 

The Thurmont Food Bank welcomes fresh produce donations for its 

clients. It is located at St. John’s Lutheran Church, next to the fire station, in 

Thurmont. Donations should be made between the hours of 5:00-7:30 p.m. 

on Tuesday and 2:30-5:00 p.m. on Friday. Please do not drop produce off at 

other times as it may go bad if it is not properly stored. For more information 

contact Pastor Sally Joyner Griffin at 301- 271-4554.
