Part of the mission of The Greater
Mount Airy Chamber of Commerce is
to promote education in the local com-
munity. The chamber has been able
to fulfill that mission in part through a
scholarship program. The chamber has
historically been able to award approxi-
mately $6,000.00 per year to worthy ap-
plicants. The Greater Chamber leader-
ship has stated that this this activity is
one of the most rewarding of all that
they undertake.
Unfortunately, this year the Scholar-
ship Program is lacking in funds.
The Chamber leadership has
stated that students today face
the monumental task of pay-
ing for higher education that is
not only increasing in cost, but
which is vital to their future suc-
cess both as individuals and as
contributing members of our
community. They point out that
these students are the next gen-
eration of consumers, business
owners, and leaders.
The chamber’s goal is to sup-
port them. In an effort to reach
that goal, they are planning a
Chamber Soiree Fundraiser for
Thursday, September 24, 2015, at Serra
Valley Farms from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m.
The event provides an opportunity for
the business community to gather to-
gether, enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeu-
vres, and raise funds for the Scholarship
Program. It is sure to be a fun evening
of socializing, networking, music, food,
while supporting a great cause.
This is an event for the entire com-
munity, not just Chamber mem-
bers. Email the Chamber at inquires@
mtairychamber.com for tickets or more
information on how you can support
this effort.
The Mount Airy Chamber of Com-
merce was founded in 1983 with the
mission to support and promote busi-
nesses and professional services in the
area of Mount Airy, Maryland.For more

Mount Airy’s caboose, which has come
to be known affectionately at Mack-
enzie, or “Mac”, is inching ever clos-
er to completion
and on track to ar-
rive back in down-
town Mount Airy
sometime this fall.
The caboose, which
upon completion
will become Mount
Airy’s Visitor and
Information Center.
As the work on res-
toration has ad-
vanced, the cura-
tors at the B & O
Railroad Museum
in Baltimore deter-
mined it was time
for a visit, so that
Mount Airy’s resi-
dents and commu-
nity leaders could
check in on prog-
ress. So last Friday,
about 20 individu-
als took a field trip
to Baltimore and
got to see first hand
all that has been done
so far, and all that will
continue to be done in
the remaining few months.
“Mac” was born out of the desire on the
part of several folks in Mount Airy who
hoped for a historic rail car in town to
draw tourists to local businesses, and to
have a central “visitor center” to distrib-
ute business flyers, promote the her-
itage of Mount Airy as a railroad town
and educate residents of the signifi-
cance the town played to our nation’s
industrial growth.
Historically, the B&O Railroad first
came to Mount Airy in 1831. Then, in
1838 the railroad’s course was altered to
go downtown. A tunnel under the town
was completed in 1901, and is still used
by CSX today.
B&O Rail Line through Main Street,
Mount Airy discontinued service in the
mid 1970’s.
Mackenzie is a Model I-5d (pusher ca-
boose capable of being pushed from
behind without getting crushed, was
built between 1925-1929, and was in
service until it was retired in 1978.
The cost of restoration will be $77,513 to
the Town of Mount Airy, though these
costs will be offset by supporter dona-
tions and fundraising through nonprof-
its as well, MAMSA and MACF. In addi-
tion, the cost for the preparation for the
site where “Mac” will reside (in the lot
next to Ben Gue Gifts and Collectibles
on Main Street) is budgeted at $65,000
“Mac” is currently owned by the Mount
Airy Community Fund (MACF) . Upon
returning to Main St, the caboose will be
transferred to the Town of Mount Airy.
Then the Visitor Center will be staffed
by MACF volunteers. The address of
the visitor’s center will be 2 North Main
Streed, Mount Airy, MD 21771
The final caboose interior will in-
clude air conditioning, electrical, a wa-
ter cooler, an information flyer holder,
a decorative stove, historical items, a
desk and a sitting area.

In 1862 a mill property near Smiths-
burg, Maryland was owned and oper-
ated by Joshua Newcomer. Following
the Battle of Antietam on September
17, 1862, the Federal army used many
buildings at the Newcomer complex,
including the mill, the house, and the
barn, as a place to care for the wound-
ed. This lasted for many weeks and
Newcomer suffered greatly from the
damage to his property and the use of
his goods. He filed claims to the gov-
ernment but his business would never
recover. In a few years he sold the prop-
erty to Jacob Myers, who operated the
mill complex until just after the turn of
the 20th century. The mill was eventu-
ally torn down and the stones were re-
used.
Alexander Gardner, a photographer
working for Matthew Brady, took a se-
ries of images following the battle of
Antietam. He took more photographs
of the area around the Middle Bridge
than of any other place. The images
are an important part of the Newcom-
er property’s history, showing the var-
ious structures at the Newcomer farm
and mill, including the original Orn-
dorff house and the one known today
as the Newcomer house.
The Newcomer property, at its
prime, was a high traffic business com-
plex. While many of the structures are
no longer standing, the road passing
through the complex continues to be
one heavily traveled. The Newcomer
house and barn are positioned at the
eastern gateway to the Antietam Na-
tional Battlefield. The house serves as
an Exhibit and Visitor Center for the
Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area. It
provides information on the large con-
centration of Civil War sites in Carroll,
Frederick, and Washington counties.
Interpretive and site panels in three
rooms of the exhibit center explore the
main themes of the heritage area: In
the Heat of Battle, On the Home Front,
and Beyond the Battlefiel
Representatives from the Nation-
al Park Service, the Heart of the Civ-
il War Heritage Area, and the Hager-
stown-Washington County Convention
and Visitors Bureau will be on hand for
a ceremony to sign a new five-year co-
operative agreement to operate New-
comer House at Antietam National
Battlefield. The event will take place at
11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, September 22
at the Newcomer House, 18422 Shep-
herdstown Pike, Keedysville, MD 21756
This unique partnership began
in 2010, opening the 1780s home as
the Heart of the Civil War Heritage
Area Exhibit and Visitors Center for
the 150th anniversary of the Ameri-
can Civil War. The new agreement will
keep the historic house open to battle-
field and area visitors through 2020.
A reception featuring period music
from the Hagerstown Choral Arts soci-
ety and light refreshments will follow
the signing ceremony, with additional
public programming in the afternoon.
The event will take place on the 153rd
anniversary of the Preliminary Eman-
cipation Proclamation, and a social
media meetup examining #Emancipa-
tionInSharpsburg will begin at 12:15.

This is another story in Lancer Media’s
2015 Summer Series: “Most Likely to”…
These feature stories highlight rising se-
niors who are becoming role models of
Lancer Spirit.
From heartfelt John Green novels to
dystopian epics by Suzanne Collins,
there are many young adult novels to
spark a teen’s imagination. More re-
cently, very few authors stray from the
path of tales about dystopian, steam-
punk societies and heart-breakingly ro-
mantic stories of love and loss. Class of
2016 member Ryan Stark hopes to break
the mold, providing the next generation
with quality content to strengthen their
minds.
Since his youth, Stark has had the goal
of becoming an author. He has spent
countless hours reading and writing
throughout his life, honing his literary
skills. Stark finds inspiration in authors
such as Kurt Vonnegut, F. Scott Fitzger-
ald. and Mark Twain. Once an author,
Stark hopes to live in the traditional lit-
erary hothouse of New York City.
After a day at school, if he isn’t work-
ing a shift at the library, you might find
Ryan at mock trial, meeting with the En-
glish or Spanish Honor Society, study-
ing to maintain his 4.0 GPA, or journal-
ing. He is the newly-elected president of
the English Honor Society, taking office
after Isabella Marcellino, former presi-
dent, graduated.
“He’s a model student. I couldn’t ask for
a better student when it comes to par-
ticipation,” said AP United States Histo-
ry teacher James Hines.
In addition to literature, Stark loves lis-
tening to music. Modest Mouse and
Neutral Milk Hotel are two of his favor-
ites, but he has an eclectic taste in mu-
sic, ranging from pop to emo to indie
rock. As far as playing music goes, he
dabbles in bass, but hasn’t mastered the
instrument.
Nearing the end of his high school ca-
reer, Stark stresses the importance of
maintaining calm and focused. “High
school is really just a continuation of
middle school, only in a different build-
ing,” Stark reminds underclassmen.

complete the Linganore High
School summer series “Most
Likley To....” when we read

ley student to become a pro-
fessional skater and Briana

The first post-secondary scholarship
from The Art Club of Frederick Fund has
been presented to Sabrina Dove, a grad-
uate of Oakdale High School, who will at-
tend Frederick Community College, ma-
joring in studio art.
The fund, founded by The Art Club of
Frederick, has a long history of supporting
art studies for students, and now provides
one-year scholarships to Frederick Coun-
ty residents for post-secondary education
to students pursuing a career in studio art
or art education.
In anticipation of its 120th anniver-
sary in 2017, The Art Club of Frederick
is building its endowment fund with the
Community Foundation to help more stu-
dents in the art field. To make a secure, on-
line donation to The Art Club of Frederick
Fund, visit www.FrederickCountyGives.

The Community Foundation of Frederick
County may be mailed to 312 East Church

line. All donations are tax deductible to the
fullest extent of the law.

Point of Rocks, MD 21777 on Sunday,
September 13 at 5pm. Admission is free,

When is the last time you heard a
Reniassance lute in a rock band? How
about a progressive folk-acoustic rock
band? Ronn McFarlane founded Ayre-
heart to write new music for the lute –
the most popular instrument of the Re-
naissance – and make it accessible to a
wider audience.
Imagine two lutes, vocals, fretless
electric bass percussion. That’s Ayre-
heart’s signature sound: combining
ancient and modern instruments in a
new format. Ayreheart’s multi-instru-
mentalists broaden the sonic palette
by including guitar, violin, mandolin,
komuz, colascione and a whole range of
world percussion instruments. Can you
wrap your head around it? Really, you’ll
just have to listen:

their website: www.Ayreheart.com

ements of Celtic, Folk, Bluegrass, and
Renaissance music. Ronn McFarlane
(lute), Brian Kay (vocals, lute, guitar,
mandolin komuz), Willard Morris
(bass, violin, mandolin colascione)
and Mattias Rucht (many percussion
instruments) blend the old and new to
create Ayreheart’s collective voice.

Centerville Elementary
announces Race for
Education
The Centerville Elementary School in
Urbana has announced a “kick-off” of
an exciting fundraising event. The pro-
ceeds from this fundraiser will be used
to directly benefit the educational expe-
rience for children at the school.
On Thursday, October 29, Centerville
Elementary PTA will be conducting its
2nd “Race for Education.” The purpose
will be to raise funds for assemblies,
family activities, classroom resources,
Staff Appreciation, and 5th grade Pro-
motion.The PTA has stated that if they
reach their goal of $30,000, they will
eliminate many of the other PTA fund-
raisers for the rest of the school year. In
addition, if they exceed the goal, addi-
tional money will be put toward pur-
chasing new technology for CES and
supporting extended learning opportu-
nities for CES students.
Students will walk or jog around a des-
ignated area as many times as possible
in a one-hour period. Each student will
raise funds by asking sponsors to con-
tribute a tax deductible donation to CES
PTA.

Master Plan online, public
hearing set for Wednesday,
September 9
The 2015 draft Superintendent’s Rec-
ommended Educational Facilities
Master Plan (EFMP) is online for pub-
lic review at fcps.org/efmp. The Su-
perintendent’s recommended EFMP
is based on an anticipated increase of
nearly 3,500 students during the 10 year
period of 2014 through 2024. By 2024
staff expects that the school system will
have an equated enrollment of 43,700
students.
In addition to enrollment projections,
the EFMP has a list of school construc-
tion projects that staff has recommend-
ed for the next 10 years, including the
FY2017-2022 Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) requests. The 10-year
plan includes 11 major construction
projects. Among them are four new
schools, two replacement schools, one
addition, and four renovation projects.
In addition to the major projects, 96
systemic renovation projects are pro-
posed over the next six years that will
sustain FCPS facilities. These include
a variety of improvements to schools,
such as boiler, chiller and HVAC repairs
or replacements, roof replacements,
flooring repairs and playground instal-
lations.
Capital projects proposed for the 2017-
2022 CIP total about $390 million. A
public hearing for the Board of Edu-
cation to receive comments on the Su-
perintendent’s recommended plan is
scheduled for Wednesday, Septem-
ber 9, 2015. After receiving public com-
ment, the Board is scheduled to make
final decisions regarding the plan’s rec-
ommendations on Wednesday, Sep-
tember 23. The final version of the CIP
will then be forwarded to the Coun-
ty and State for funding consideration.

Untangled Massage Therapy, which
specializes in therapeutic massage,
opened in Mount Airy on May 1st of
this year. The owner, Stacy Simons, has
been practicing massage over 3 years.
“I wanted to take my passion for my
career to a new level,” Simons said.
“Opening my own business gives me
the opportunity to find and keep my
own clients and show the local com-
munity how massage can help each
person in a different way.”
Every massage is customized for
each individuals needs. The benefits
of massage vary, including stress relief,
releasing tension due to every day use
or exercise and chronic pain manage-
ment.
Massage can go hand in hand with
other alternative modalities such as
physical therapy, chiropractic care,
and acupuncture. Massage can bene-
fit you in preparation of a sport or ath-
letic event, and can also be beneficial
post-event.
Simons pratices two types of mas-
sage; Swedish Massage, which can vary
from a light and soothing touch to a
medium pressure focusing on areas of
tension and some attention to knots, is
ideal for those looking to simply relax,
reduce stress or anxiety, and those who
want adhesions and knots worked out
without the intense pressure of a deep
tissue massage.
Deep tissue massage typically is
a mix of a deep relaxing touch with a
more intense focus on any knots and
areas of tension. Deep tissue can ben-
efit everyone and is especially recom-
mended for athletes. Deep tissue can
also include a variety of other tech-
niques such as trigger point therapy,
sports massage, and stretching.
Simons graduated from Central
Maryland school of massage in Fred-
erick in 2011 and has been practicing
massage for 3 years. She says she loves
what she does and that her passion for
therapeutic massage shows in every
massage
Untangled Massage Therapy is lo-
cated at 309 South Main Street in
Mount Airy, in the same building as
Core Yoga. To make an appointment
call 410-236-5845 or email Simons at:

Frederick County Public Schools’
Superintendent Dr. Terry Alban has in-
troduced a partnership with Freder-
ick Mentors, a group of local agencies
that came together to support FCPS stu-
dents. Frederick Mentors includes men-
tors from Frederick County Fire and
Rescue, Frederick County Government,
the Frederick City Police Department
and the Frederick County Sheriff’s Of-
fice.
The partnership is designed to
strengthen relationships among stu-
dents, schools and community by allow-
ing Frederick County public servants to
serve as mentors to FCPS students. Each
organization will encourage its employ-
ees to participate in the program; FCPS
will help facilitate the mentoring. “The
men and women who tirelessly con-
tribute to our community as public ser-
vants are outstanding role models for
our young people,” said Superintendent
Alban. “Everyone benefits when today’s
local leaders mentor our community’s
future leaders. The partnership holds
amazing potential for our community.”
County Executive Jan Gardner com-
mented, “We know that one caring adult
can make a significant difference in the
future success of a child. The children
we mentor through this program today
will be our future employees, business
and community leaders. This mentor-
ing program will build upon the strong
partnerships already in place with
FCPS, fire and rescue, law enforcement
agencies and county government as we
work together for the betterment of our
children. Working together to support
our children guarantees a bright future
for Frederick County.”
FCPS and Frederick Mentors will
hold a formal partnership signing and
receive a citation from Governor Lar-
ry Hogan presented by Maryland Sec-
retary of Labor Kelly M. Schulz. The ci-
tation acknowledges Frederick County’s
commitment as a community to sup-
port our youth. The event, which is free
and open to the public, will take place:
Tuesday, September 1 from 1-2 p.m. at
Parkway Elementary, 300 Carroll Park-
way, Frederick.
Mentors investing in the
lives of local children

For the past few years, the stock mar-
ket has moved up fairly steadily, with
no major “corrections.” But thus far in
2015, we’ve already seen periods of vol-
atility — enough, in fact, to make some
investors jittery. Nervous investors may
be more prone to make decisions based
on short-term market movements — so
how can you stay calm?
First of all, when evaluating your in-
vestment decisions, stay focused on
those factors that have historically
driven stock prices. The U.S. economy
is growing at a reasonably good pace,
and corporate earnings remain fairly
strong. Plus, stocks may not be as un-
dervalued as they were a few years ago
— as measured by the price-to-earn-
ings ratio (P/E) — but they still aren’t
overly expensive, either. Things can
change, of course, but when market
volatility seems to be primarily caused
by short-term events, such as plunging
oil prices, it’s important to look beyond
the headlines to these less glamorous,
but probably more important, funda-
mentals of good investing. By doing so,
you can help avoid making fear-driven
investment choices.
What else can you do to help ensure
that you don’t let feelings of anxi-
ety influence your investment moves?
For one thing, evaluate your invest-
ment mix. If you own too many stocks
and stock-based vehicles, you could
take a big hit if stock prices fall sharp-
ly during periods of volatility. Histori-
cally, however, bond prices have typ-
ically increased when stock prices fell
— although, of course, there are no
guarantees. So, if your portfolio con-
sists of stocks and bonds, you are bet-
ter positioned to weather the harshest
effects of market turbulence.
To further prepare yourself for down-
turns, you may also want to diversify
your fixed-income holdings to include
investments such as U.S. Treasury bills,
certificates of deposit (CDs) and mu-
nicipal bonds. The percentages of each
type of investment within your portfo-
lio should be based on your goals, risk
tolerance and time horizon.
Finally, you can help yourself maintain
an even-keeled approach to invest-
ing by always looking for quality. Typ-
ically, higher quality investments fare
better during market declines and re-
cover more quickly when the markets
rebound. How can you judge wheth-
er a particular investment is of good
“quality“? A long-term track record is
useful to study. It’s certainly true that,
as you have no doubt heard, “past per-
formance is no guarantee of future re-
sults,” but it’s nonetheless valuable to
know how a particular stock, for exam-
ple, has performed in various econom-
ic environments. If it seems to have
done well relative to others in its indus-
try and over long periods of time, that
may give you a good idea of its quality.
It’s never easy to take all the emotions
out of investing, especially during pe-
riods of market volatility. After all, you
count on your investments to help pro-
vide you with the type of future you’ve
envisioned. But by focusing on the fun-
damentals, putting together an appro-
priate investment mix and constantly
looking for quality, you can help “de-
stress” yourself — and, as the American
poet, novelist and historian J.G. Hol-
land once said, “Calmness is the cradle
of power.”

The MET is in dire need of a technolo-
gy reboot... dying computers, dead light
board (thanks to Parlights for the pay-

Here is the list of needs:
1. For starters they need a new light
board, well actually, they have a new
light board but they need to pay for it.
That’s $2,940 right there.
2. They also need at least two new
computers, including one for the box
office.
3. In the next few days they will get
lighting for a beautiful new sign on the
side of the building and that’s import-
ant because it gets dark at night.
With your support The MET needs to
raise $7,000. It’s not a crazy amount of
money and it goes to improving your
experience with The MET, from find-
ing the theater at night, to getting your
tickets quickly, to lighting the shows.

member all donations are fully tax-de-
ductible. MET is a non-profit organi-
zation and you will receive a tax letter
thanking you for your support. DO-
