DISTRIBUTION

The fall season is all about transition. As warmer temperatures cool, kids and teachers return to school, and routine creeps back into our lives.

I crave that routine — and that cooler weather, too! But most of all, I crave the other things that fall brings, such as apples, pumpkins, and holidays that are focused on home, friends and family.

Frederick County’s calendar of events is chock full of awesome opportunities that celebrate the fall season. From Halloween-themed spooky scenes to music and entertainment to kids’ and family focused fun, there’s so much to explore. Check it all out, starting on Page 66.

One of the premier events that happens in Frederick each fall/winter is the Frederick Speaker Series. This year’s line-up has some serious heavy-hitters coming to Frederick to impart knowledge. Check out Page 12 for more on this special series and the folks who are set to visit as part of it.

In this edition’s Towns section, we feature the Urbana region. And there’s lots going on down there, including a new YMCA branch that’s broken ground. Check out the story on Page 78 to learn more about that project, and about some other fun businesses that offer their unique services to Frederick County.

Get out there and enjoy autumn, Frederick! And tell us all about it via email: molly@pulsepublishing.net. We can’t wait to hear all about how you celebrate the season.

FREDERICK SPEAKER SERIES Now in its eighth year, the Frederick Speaker Series has developed a reputation for bringing world-class speakers to the Frederick community.

Since its inception in 2013, the Frederick Speaker Series has featured notable personalities such as Cal Ripken Jr., General Colin Powell, Tom Brokaw, George Takei, Bill Nye, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ted Koppel, Dr. Temple Grandin and Bob Woodward.

The 2020 line-up includes Pulitzer Prize-winning author and presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin; scientist and physician, Dr. Mae Jemison, the first woman of color in space; best-selling author and leading political satirist P.J. O’Rourke; and bestselling author and sustainable food advocate Michael Pollan.

All Frederick Speaker Series events are held at the Weinberg Center for the Arts, 20 W. Patrick St., Frederick. Tickets for all four speakers went on sale in August. Tickets may be purchased online at weinbergcenter.org, by calling the Weinberg Center Box Office at 301-600-2828, or in person at the box office.

A separately ticketed meet-and-greet reception will take place immediately following each speaker’s presentation. These exclusive events provide a chance for fans to meet the speakers, take pictures and obtain autographs. All proceeds from the meet-and-greet receptions will benefit children’s programs at Frederick County Public Libraries.

Doris Kearns Goodwin | 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 23 Goodwin’s career as a presidential historian and author was inspired when, as a 24-year-old graduate student at Harvard, she was selected to join the White House Fellows. During her time in one of the nation’s most prestigious programs for leadership and public service she worked with President Lyndon Baines Johnson and later assisted him in the writing of his memoirs.

FREDERICK’S FACES featured in annual magazine Frederick County is made up of thousands of fascinating faces.

For two years, these interesting folks have been featured in “Frederick Faces”, a magazine created by Pulse Publishing, publisher of Frederick County Guide and Find iT! Frederick magazines, too.

In Frederick Faces, we aim to share with readers a wide array of the people that make Frederick such an amazing place to live, work and visit.

Editorial staff traveled across Frederick County to visit with local industry leaders and agency representatives, learning about how they work and what they do to make the county special, and photographing them in their workplace.

Each page of Frederick Faces features the faces behind local businesses, medical offices or agencies, and a profile to highlight what makes them tick.

Frederick Faces is an annual sponsored publication that is exclusive – only one person, company or agency is featured per category.

And categories span the entire community: from dental offices to tattoo shops to boutiques to animal rescue.

There’s a little bit of everything in Frederick Faces. And the photos and stories allow you to see the stories behind the faces you know, and those you want to get to know, in Frederick County.

The folks who are featured in the magazine have made it their mission to provide top-notch services to the residents of Frederick County.

Alex Sincevich, owner and founder of The Dapper DJs, has been featured in Frederick Faces in its inaugural issue and in the 2019 edition. He believes that music’s power begins where caffeine’s stops. What java does for the mind (especially on Monday morning) jazz does for the soul, he says.

Stephanie Smith, owner of Plato’s Closet, and her staff have been featured in both magazine editions as well. At Plato’s Closet, the focus is on helping young people find an affordable way to fill their closet with on-trend gently used brand-name clothing, accessories, shoes and more. At the shop, you can pick up seven pairs of gently used designer jeans for about $70, instead of using that same cash to buy just one pair at a full-price store.

Frederick County Public Libraries (FCPL) was featured for the first time in 2019. Library Director James Kelly explains in the magazine how the reasons for a library visit have expanded as these public buildings have become much more than just a place to check out books. “The success of a library system hinges on whether it’s flexible enough to adapt to the changing needs of a community,” Kelly says.

FALL MAINTENANCE TIPS for Your Home and Yard

BY BRENDA FISHER, FREDERICK COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER

It’s been said that fall is your reward for surviving a long, hot summer. As the oppressive heat of summer fades into mild fall days, it’s easy to sit back and enjoy the impressive fall colors and cooler temperatures. But with winter right around the corner, fall days are the perfect time to complete projects around your home and yard to prepare for winter’s icy grip.

“As Realtors®, we cannot stress enough the importance of preparing a property for the cold weather,” said Frederick County Association of Realtors® President Amanda Addington. “A weekend of time spent along with periodic maintenance can prevent significant and costly water intrusion problems.”

Here are eight easy fall maintenance tips you can use to make sure your home and yard are ready for winter.

Prune trees and shrubs – Preparing trees and shrubs for winter isn’t just aesthetically pleasing, it also helps protect them from snow, ice and winter winds. If you’re unsure about how much to prune or when to do it, we recommend consulting a local nursery or arborist.

Rake leaves – A blanket of red, gold and yellow leaves can be a beautiful addition to any yard, but not for a long time. Use a lightweight rake and large leaf bags to easily dispose of the leaves.

A thick layer of leaves left on lawn during the winter can inhibit spring growth and make spring clean-up a much larger job.

Clean gutters and downspouts – All those glorious fall leaves can quickly clog up your gutters and downspouts. Removing the leaves helps make sure the water and snow drains off your house the correct way.

Make exterior repairs – Spend a few minutes walking around your home, inspecting all the nooks and crannies to spot any trouble areas. This includes looking at the roof, your siding, windows, foundation and doors.

Seal up any cracks – When the temperatures start to drop, critters will be looking for a warm place with lots of food to live through the winter. Fill any small holes or gaps with a sealant or heavy-duty hardware cloth to keep these critters outside where they belong.

Add weather stripping to windows and doors – Adding weather stripping to your home can help keep energy bills down this winter.

Weather stripping is easy to install and can be purchased from a local hardware store.

Shut off exterior faucets and remove hoses – Remove and store hoses and turn the water off to faucets to avoid freezing and bursting issues when the weather dips below freezing.

Clean dryer vent – A buildup of dryer lint can make your dryer work less efficiently and could cause a fire. Fall is an easy time to clean out the exterior vent before winter sets in.

With a little preparation, your home and yard will be ready to transition from fall’s warm beauty to winter’s cool grace without any trouble. With these eight fall maintenance tips complete, you can rest easy this winter.

WOMEN’S BUSINESS NETWORK offers support, tools for Frederick entrepreneurs The Women’s Business Network of Frederick is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inform, encourage and support women in their quest to grow their businesses.

The network’s founders created the organization in order to help women in the Frederick region gain the tools to succeed in business, and to give opportunities for sisterhood. All of the network’s members are working professionals and small business owners, volunteering spare time to share success stories, and to help each other become more proactive in their business lives. The network’s members say

Members join the organization in order to be a part of a network of women that will help each other along the journey of business success.

The network strives to make each person feel welcomed and supported.

It provides professional development opportunities, as well as a variety of resources to empower women and to help them improve personally.

Women who want to simply belong in a group of like-minded professionals who provide unconditional support should consider

joining the group.

The Women’s Business Network of Frederick began in the year 2000, when six women met for lunch in Downtown Frederick. They were disappointed that there was no business organization in Frederick singularly focused on helping women grow their businesses. They began to form the group they were searching for, first calling it the Women’s Focus Group. The Women’s Business Network of Frederick

The network’s annual signature event is called Steps to Success.

This year, it is scheduled for October 19, at Holly Hills Country Club in Ijamsville.

From its beginnings, the Steps to Success event has had the vision and purpose to connect professional women and provide opportunities for personal and professional growth.

The keynote speaker for the 12th annual Steps to Success is Helen Propheter, director of the Frederick County Office of Economic Development. Propheter plans to discuss what to keep in mind when doing business in Frederick County, with suggestions to professionally advance yourself while expanding your network and creating opportunities to gain potential clients without costing much.

Included is a full day of professional and personal development customized to meet each person’s needs. Breakfast buffet, plated lunch, engaging and inspirational sessions, and of course, relationship building amongst peers are all included.

Attendees can design their day based on their personal interests.

The Women’s Business Network seeks out the best facilitators who lead small group discussions in a wide variety of topics that include business growth initiatives, women’s health and personal development.

During these dynamic sessions, participants find themselves in a group of like-minded women who support each other’s desire for self-improvement. Each small group will take part in a professionally led discussion designed to inform each woman with tangible tools to accelerate the growth they desire. Participants are encouraged to share insights and provide support for other attendees.

FREDERICK COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS Prioritizes Educational Equity

BY TERRY ALBAN, SUPERINTENDENT, FREDERICK COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) places a high priority on educational equity.

The Board of Education is committed to providing all students timely access to the resources and educational rigor they need. Educational equity is about delivering appropriate academic, social and economic supports to ensure access to opportunities that maximize every students’ potential.

At FCPS, equity also means valuing each and every student. We respect

The focus at FCPS is on providing students equitable access to

each student’s cognitive, social emotional, and physical ability, age,

high quality, culturally relevant instruction, academic support and

ethnicity, family structure, gender, gender expression and identity, sexual

extracurricular opportunities in equitable, safe, diverse and inclusive

orientation, language, national origin, race, religion and socioeconomic

schools. To reflect this commitment, FCPS leaders work to carry

background. We prepare each student for lifelong learning, the world

out seven practices:

of work and full participation in representative government.

We achieve educational equity when we raise achievement for all

to technology and broadband service, as well as high quality

students while eliminating the predictability and disproportionality

and safe facilities.

of which students occupy the highest and lowest achieving groups.

One strategy for reaching this goal is to recruit, hire, support, and retain culturally, racially and linguistically diverse personnel. The overall aim is to ensure that each relevant policy, procedure and practice provides educational equity.

The Board of Education’s educational equity policy clarifies definitions of achievement and opportunity gaps. An achievement gap exists when there are significant and persistent disparities in academic performance or educational attainment between groups of students.

An opportunity gap reflects perpetuation of lower educational expectations, aspirations, participation and achievement for certain groups of students, often as the result of factors such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomics, English proficiency, wealth or familial situations.

28

1. Allocate resources to achieve fiscal equity, ensuring access

thefrederickguide.com

2. Include cultural responsiveness in reviews of curriculum, assessments and more.

3. Provide resources and professional development necessary to close achievement and opportunity gaps.

4. Align accountability measures to ensure relevant performance or growth measures.

5. Increase participation of persons from underrepresented groups in staffing and specialized programs.

6. Consider equitable access to 21st-century learning environments in all plans for new construction and renovations.

7. Identify partnerships with stakeholders throughout the Frederick community to support educational equity.

iSTOCKPHOTO.COM / FATCAMERA

// E D U C AT I O N

The promise of public education is to equip each and every student to be an empowered learner and an engaged citizen to achieve a positive impact in our community and beyond. This fall, the Board of Education began forming a Racial Equity Committee to focus on identifying discrimination or harassment, raising awareness of implicit bias, and eliminating or mitigating racial inequity or its effects across the school system.

Entering my third four-year term as superintendent this school year, I remain determined and fully committed to do everything possible to promote educational equity and to end achievement and opportunity gaps at FCPS. I encourage those seeking more information to see the Board’s full Educational Equity Policy 444 (adopted in 2017 and revised in April 2019), as well as additions to iSTOCKPHOTO.COM / CHINNAPONG

Policy 101 and the relatively new Regulation 100-09 regarding the Racial Equity Committee, online at www.fcps.org/policies. Join in helping our community achieve educational equity to fulfill the promise of public education.

KINDRED NUTRITION offers collaborative approach to overall health Amy Goldsmith, RD, LDN, has been a dietitian for 20 years, and her experience, a marriage of strong medical nutrition therapy and successful sales roles, gave her the skills and guts to launch a private practice from scratch.

Goldsmith founded Kindred Nutrition in 2010 with a goal of focusing her practice on gastrointestinal (GI) health, sports nutrition, weight management and eating disorders. The support of the Frederick community helped Kindred Nutrition to grow quickly and the practice now includes three dietitians, therapists and a yoga instructor.

Kindred Nutrition is unique in that it incorporates wellness in many ways. Staff provides individual nutrition and therapy, family nutrition and therapy, yoga classes, support groups, mindful meal exposures and grocery tours. Since everyone is an individual, everyone is met where they are and their treatment is unique. At Kindred Nutrition, the focus is on evidence-based treatment plans and collaboration with an entire medical team.

One of Goldsmith’s passions is to help consumers make sense of the confusing and unregulated nutrition claims on the Internet.

Her passion to educate the public got her elected as the Consumer Protection Coordinator Board Member with the Maryland Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. This role allows her to continue to be an advocate for smart consumers.

She became a dietitian in 1999 and although she has worked with many realms of medical nutrition therapy, specializes in eating disorders, digestive health and sports nutrition. Goldsmith focuses on meeting all her clients where they currently are and focusing on education, re-framing the mind and using food as fuel for your brain and body. She believes there is a strong connection between the gut and brain and focuses on both with all clients. In addition, as a sports nutritionist and dietitian, she assists with getting the client to peak performance by incorporating optimal nutrition before, during training, race time and recovery.

Other members of the Kindred Nutrition team include Rebecca Ridenour, RDN, LDN. She has worked as a dietitian since 2010.

Ridenour works with clients who have eating disorders and specializes in digestive health, women’s health and autoimmune and sports nutrition.

Ridenour works to create and implement concierge programs to support clients to get to end goals. Ridenour also specializes in renal nutrition and collaborates with Frederick’s nephrologists to provide nutrition counseling for clients with stage 3 and stage 4 renal failure.

Dawn Croft, RDN, LDN, has been a dietitian since 2002, and has a large range of experience in outpatient and inpatient nutrition. Croft is trained on the use of a special diet for irritable bowel syndrome and uses an evidence-based approach for gastrointestinal disease.

Croft has a variety of experience with weight management, eating disorders and sports nutrition.

Kim Coppola, LCSW, is a therapist with more than eight years of experience in child life, outpatient counseling and group work. Coppola fosters an emotionally safe environment for children, adolescents and adults while establishing a therapeutic alliance with her clients. She works from a strength-based perspective with a goal of improving overall health and well being.

Therapist Alana Earp, LMSW brings nine years of experience to Kindred Nutrition. She believes that in order to care for mental, physical, and emotional health it’s important to learn how to integrate self care. If you suffer from heightened emotions that affect your daily life, Earp says this it is normal to feel helpless and hopeless. As a therapist her goal is to help you identify emotions and develop a plan with coping strategies and techniques to help decrease anxiety, stress, fear and isolation. Self care is modeled through goal setting and problem solving. In addition to experience with working with the vulnerable adult population, Earp has experience with competitive gymnastics and understands mental blocks and working through fear issues.

The team at Kindred Nutrition incorporates state-of-the-art equipment and innovative programs that are backed by scientific evidence. The practice offers a variety of tests and evaluations to identify markers that define treatment plans. Wellness services, such as yoga and meditation and grocery store tours are also offered alongside counseling and nutrition services.

DAYBREAK OFFERS RESPITE for seniors, caretakers

BY GINA GALLUCCI-WHITE

Frederick County’s premier knowledge and discovery destination for adults ages 55 and Daybreak Adult Day Services in Frederick provides care for individuals 50 years of age and older, known as the Institute for Learning in Retirement, is delivering unique opportunities older with various medical needs during daytime hours, offering an alternative to full-time to discover, study and discuss our nation’s history this summer. care facilities and in-home care services.

“Daybreak offers [older residents] a safe place outside of the house for the person to come and spend time during the day, which allows the family to get respite and allows the senior to be involved with other people, be active and have fun even if they have medical or memory challenges,” says Christina Forbes, Daybreak program director.

The Frederick facility welcomes up to 70 participants each day, with folks coming two to five days per week, based on needs. The majority of participants are people ages 50 years and older with age-related challenges. Some have memory impairments, such as a form of dementia, while others have Parkinson’s disease. Some are monitored because they have suffered a stroke or need help managing their diabetes or arthritis.

“We have two registered nurses in the facility every day so they can administer medication, blood sugar checks, insulin, breathing treatments,” Forbes said. “They do a lot of medical oversight and management.”

walkers. “We have nursing assistants who assist people who may not be able to move around well independently or who may need help in the bathroom,” she said.

Whether staying for a few hours or all day, participants are offered a wide variety of activities at Daybreak, including daily exercise, bowling, bocci, corn hole, dancing, musical activities, arts and crafts and word and trivia games. A host of entertainers also come

to the facility to put smiles on the seniors’ faces, including a recent appearance by Joe Coleman, the former lead singer for the early rock-n-roll era group The Platters.

“We try to have something for everybody,” Forbes said.

Participants may either be mobile or use wheelchairs, canes or

The center also provides field trips to a number of Frederick area destinations including recent pilgrimages to the Delaplaine Arts Center in Frederick, the Little Red Barn Ice Cream Café in Jefferson and Krispy Kreme doughnut shop on Buckeystown Pike.

Daybreak provides breakfast, lunch and a snack as well as doorto-door transportation through most of Frederick County. For those who live outside of the county or in a rural area, staff will rendezvous with them at a meeting point.

A nonprofit organization, the center applies for grants and does fundraising activities to help keep costs low. Payment varies depending on income level and additional potential subsidies. The service is not covered by health insurance.

“Our hope is to not turn anyone away for an inability to pay,” iSTOCKPHOTO.COM / FEVERPITCHED

Forbes said. “We can usually find some arrangement that will work for each person.”

Forbes notes that participants benefit through the opportunity for socialization and camaraderie.

“Everyone here has a lot of life left to live,” she said. “They just need a little extra help. There is lots of laughter. People feel like

Frequently Asked Questions How does someone enroll in the program?

The first step is calling/emailing to arrange a tour and an assessment by a nurse.

Do I have to come every day?

No, you may choose the weekly schedule that serves you best; from two to five days per week.

How does billing work?

Participants are billed monthly, in advance, based on the schedule of their choosing. There is no long-term commitment to the program.

Does insurance pay for the program?

Medicare and medical insurance do not pay for adult medical day care. Maryland Medical Assistance will pay in certain situations, as will the Veterans Administration, and Department of Social Services Senior Care. Additionally, many long-term care insurance policies will cover the cost.

What do you do when the weather is bad?

Occasionally the center will close due to bad weather, but does not follow the local school system decisions for closures.

My loved one was never a “joiner.” Will he have to participate?

No one is forced to do anything they are not comfortable with. Some participants love to be in the front row, in the middle of the dance floor, or up in front with the microphone, while others are quite content taking it all in from the sidelines. Each person’s comfort zone is respected, while at the same time, individuals are encouraged to do what they can and try new things.

There are number of spaces in the center that lend themselves to quiet activities, such as reading, puzzles, cards, knitting or just resting or napping, so participants do not need to be active in groups all day.

I feel guilty about sending my loved one somewhere during the day. I should be able to take care of her myself.

By sending her to our program you are taking good care of her, and of yourself. She will be able to socialize with peers, stay active both physically and mentally, and have a renewed sense of purpose. Most caregivers report they are better rested, more patient and less stressed when their loved one attends the program.

Caregivers also get a break when their loved one goes to Daybreak, using the time to do work, run errands or take some time for themselves.

“For seven hours of the day, they are not directly responsible for taking care of their loved one,” Forbes said. “[Daybreak] gives [caregivers] peace of mind that they are in a safe place with people who can take care of them or take care of any problem,” Forbes said.

When an individual joins Daybreak, Forbes said, “the family also

This year, Daybreak marks 30 years of service to the Frederick community and remains the only adult medical day care center in the area that serves seniors. “It is an honor to work with the families … and it is really a joy to know we have given them pleasure in the later years of their life,” Forbes says. “There is nothing better than hearing people laugh, seeing people take pride in their appearance again — wearing jewelry and makeup. People truly love coming here and they are quick to tell me that, which is incredibly gratifying.”

gets our team as part of their team. They get the help of our social worker, our nurses. We are able to help guide them through what can be very challenging waters,” Forbes said.

Some families may hesitate to call and register for Daybreak, as many feel they can handle the caregiving responsibility themselves.

Seniors may also be nervous to try something new.

“It is absolutely worth making the call and coming out to see [Daybreak],” Forbes says. “It is life changing for the people who

FCC’S MAKERSPACE Offers Lessons in 3D Technology

BY CHRISTINE WISNIEWSKI

A quick glance around Frederick Community College’s immaculate Makerspace makes one thing apparent: the future is here. The 1,600-square-foot Makerspace, located within FCC’s off-campus Monroe Center, features 3D printers, a 3D scanner, a laser cutter, high-tech desktop computers and more. Various 3D printed models and laser-cut objects sit around the pristine room, showcasing the technical talents of the students who use the space.

In its 52-year history, Frederick Community College has grown extensively to offer unique programs, resources and workspaces to students in and around Frederick County, and the Makerspace is just one of the many ways it attracts learners of all interests and abilities.

The Makerspace first opened in August 2017 as part of the recently renovated Monroe Center, located near the Frederick Fairgrounds, about 15 minutes from FCC’s main campus. The Monroe Center boasts 55,000 square feet of classrooms and workshops catering to building trades, culinary arts, hospitality, health care and technology courses.

Monroe Center Career and Technical Training Program Manager Kathi Groover describes the Makerspace as a resource for FCC faculty and students that allows for innovation, creation and collaboration among students while providing all the digital fabrication tools needed to make “whatever you can dream.”

“It’s a unique resource in Frederick County—certainly in this area,” Groover said.

In addition to four 3D printers of varying sizes and capabilities, FCC’s Makerspace offers a 3D scanner, a laser cutter, a CNC router (a computer-controlled cutting machine), Arduinos (open-source platforms used for building electronics projects) and many associated tools such as screwdrivers, precision knives, multimeters and soldering irons.

The space also includes 12 high-powered desktop computers, student lockers and tables that can hold up to 16 students.

Makerspace

// A RT S & L E ISU R E

The Makerspace is open to “pretty much anyone that has a formal relationship with the college,” Groover said, explaining that when one signs up to use the Makerspace or take a course, they are enrolled as an FCC student.

Eventually, the FCC staff/faculty aspires to turn the Makerspace into a full “fab lab,” or fabrication laboratory, offering a wide array of flexible computer-controlled tools that can make just about anything.

Courses offered by Makerspace The current round of Makerspace courses began in September and includes Solidworks: 3D Modeling and Engineering, 3D Printing and Prototyping, Discover 3D Printing, two electronics classes and four classes that explore physical computing and robotics with Arduinos.

These classes range from $49 to $565, depending on the length and depth of the course. For example, the $565 Solidworks class is 30 hours total and held twice per week during evenings, while the four-hour, $49 Discover 3D Printing class is held on one day.

Those interested in taking a course must sign up at least two weeks prior to the start date. FCC is always adding more courses, so potential students should keep checking instruction schedules to find out what new classes are being offered. Makerspace courses can be found by visiting FCC’s Makerspace webpage.

While Makerspace courses are intended for college-aged students and beyond, summer programs like Kids on Campus and Teens

on Campus allow younger students to learn new skills while being taught by experienced instructors.

“We are really focused on workforce development training skills and integrating the capabilities of this space with different academic programs across campus,” Groover said.

What to expect The Makerspace is not open all the time; it is only open when the Monroe Center is open and it is only staffed when staff is available.

However, there is an open lab on Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

// A RT S & L E ISU R E

“We work to accommodate needs if someone wants to come in,” Groover added. “It’s a very flexible, scalable and robust space.”

If someone would like to use the Makerspace, a staff member will discuss with them what project they’d like to complete and what tools they need. First, staff must ensure that the materials one brings to Makerspace are compatible with the machines. When it is time to start the project, the staff member assists with making the item and trains the student as needed. When a student becomes proficient on a machine, they may operate it independently.

+ What is 3D printing?

A 3D printer builds a three-dimensional object from a computer-aided design model, layer by layer. There are a variety of raw materials that can be used to print, such as ABS plastic, nylon, epoxy resins, steel, titanium, wax, polycarbonate and more. FCC’s printers use ABS plastic, which is extremely durable and impact-resistant.

The printers in the Makerspace, which range in sizes and capabilities, can make tools, breadboards (a fundamental piece for building circuits), chain links, blocks, models and much more.

RESEARCH THE REGION’S AGRICULTURAL HISTORY at Thurmont Center In August 2009, the Thurmont Center for Agricultural History opened inside the Thurmont Regional Library, a branch of the library system in northern Frederick County. The center’s purpose is to collect materials that document the agricultural history of Frederick County and the surrounding region.

The goal for the center is to provide researchers with necessary tools to guide their agriculture-related research, whether it pertains to family history, house or property research, the history of rural voluntary organizations or scholarly study of farming.

The center is a partnership between the Thurmont Regional Library and the Maryland Room, located in the C. Burr Artz Public Library in Downtown Frederick. The Maryland Room oversees the accessing, archival processing and curatorial care of the collection. Staff in Thurmont handles book processing, access and daily curatorship.

The Thurmont Center holds non-circulating materials that reveal the rich, agricultural heritage of Frederick County. The Thurmont Center actively seeks materials that document the history of the groups and individuals involved in the area’s agricultural life. Books, photographs, reports, ribbons and clippings are all examples of materials that help to tell the story of Frederick’s farming legacy.

Many of the items in the collection are original and irreplaceable and other items are rare.

Frederick County is home to a significant agricultural heritage.

Germans were instrumental in settling Frederick County in the early 18th century. The Germans brought with them a way of farming that transformed agricultural practice in Maryland. Diversified family farms replaced tobacco plantations that used enslaved labor as the state’s primary means of agriculture.

URBANA OFFERS FAMILY-FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES

BY GINA GALLUCCI-WHITE

Construction crews and materials have become a regular sight in Urbana during the last decade, thanks to an explosion of growth in southern Frederick County. This trend will continue, as the much-anticipated South County YMCA project begins this fall in the Urbana region.

“Our goal is to have a shovel in the ground by the end of October, first of November,” says Chris Colville, YMCA of Frederick County chief executive officer (CEO).

At the South County YMCA, families will be able to walk in the door as a family and part ways with everybody using a different part of the facility, or actually do an activity as a family, he added.

In early September, the nonprofit finalized fundraising efforts and submitted site review plans to Frederick County officials. Colville anticipates 12 to 14 months of construction, and an opening for the facility in January 2021.

The new facility will be located between Urbana Middle and High schools on 22 acres of land donated by Tom Natelli of the Natelli Communities, which built the Villages of Urbana development.

Colville notes the space will be a safe space for children and give parents peace of mind knowing they are being supervised.

The 62,000 square-foot facility will feature a number of amenities, such as an aquatic center with two pools, a full-size gymnasium, a large group classroom space for exercise, an indoor walking track, a family fun zone activity center and an outdoor amphitheater.

“With the exception of the (Urbana) library, which is a great space and they do wonderful things there, there is nowhere else really that can connect the entire community and families together,” Colville says.

“We think [the new facility] is going to provide that center of community, a place for folks to congregate and enjoy each other,” she says.

The YMCA also offered a chance to area residents to have their names be part of the new building, with a brick-buying fundraising campaign. Businesses, individuals or groups may buy a 4-inch by 8-inch personalized brick for $500 or an 8-inch by 8-inch brick for $1,000.

F R E D E R I C K C O U N T Y T O W N S \\

The design for the facility was created based on community feedback regarding the needs of the Urbana area.

“It is important that the local community support [the YMCA] financially so that they have an investment in their community and what the Y should look like and feel like,” Colville said.

Other New Family Activities in Urbana In early June, friends Alex Williams and Allison Meador opened Songs for Seeds in Urbana, providing a new musical experience for children in the region.

Weekly 45-minute classes feature a three-piece live band whose members double as teachers. Each song has an educational focus for young children, including animal sounds, shapes and colors.

A few popular and age-appropriate Top 40 songs are also played.

For one segment of the class, kids get mini instruments to help the band play a song. With 100 weeks of curriculum, each week focuses on a different nursery rhyme.

The Urbana location is the first Songs for Seeds to open in the State of Maryland, with other franchises found in eight states including Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

“It is an educational experience that is also fun,” Meador says. “It is something to do to get the mom or dad or caregiver out of the

house, but is also for kids that are either too small for preschool or maybe they don’t have the resources to go to preschool. This is a great alternative and even an introduction for socialization. It is education, but it is also music and fun.”

Williams has one child in elementary school and another in preschool.

She says now that school is back in session, the class offers her special one-on-one time with her 2-year-old.

“I really appreciate that I get to have 45 minutes of fun,” she says.

“I try to put my phone away and just interact with him as much as possible. It is cool to see him learning.”

Classes are divided by age: birth to 6-year-olds, with each child taking away a different educational experience depending on their age.

“It’s a great class for people that have kids of multiple ages, because we are not specifically doing math or letters or anything like that,” Meador says. “It is rhythm and phonics and those really core basic learning principles. A baby is going to be really excited to see the bubbles and the colors and shapes and sounds while a 4-year-old is learning to say hello (in different languages). It’s really cool that you can do a class with kids of multiple ages but that they get something different out of it.”

Another fun part of the activity scene in Urbana is Urbana Art & Soul Studio, offering workshops, classes and events for the young and the young at heart. Owner and instructor Manda Mackintosh taught art in Frederick County Public Schools for several years before opening the studio in 2008.

“I wanted a place where kids could make art and be creative after school,” she says. “Just to take it a step further and for kids who wanted to be well rounded and do something in addition to sports and things like that, (a place to) bring families together.”

The art center offers scheduled classes and workshops, and this winter will offer open studio time. Parents of young children may come in to work on a project with their child, while those with older children may drop them off.

“We thought in the winter months, it would be a good option for kids to have something to do,” Mackintosh says.

The studio will also host some workshops for adults, beginning in mid-October. These workshops will focus on people who want the Pinterest look, but don’t have the time and/or ability to do it.

“We are going to start helping people accessorize and set up things for their home,” she said, “using art to decorate their dining room table or get ready for a dinner. We are going to set up spaces in the studio so they can shop for things, but also learn at the same time. ...It should be little creative gifts to give people that are really special.”

Mackintosh works to help kids not only have fun making art, but also learn while doing it.

“It is showing kids there is more than one answer, there is more than one solution to a problem. Everyone is a little different,” she said.

“Creativity has been proven to be stress relieving. (Art) promotes creativity, thinking outside the box and also self-esteem. Our main thing is to really build children’s self-esteem through the arts and just build them up and give them an outlet in a different way.”

Mackintosh notes she most enjoys the intimate family atmosphere of her studio.

“We know all of our clients,” she says. “We know the names of their pets. They know the names of our kids. It is super small and it is super close. It is an art family.”

BURKITTSVILLE Burkittsville is a virtually unchanged example of an American townscape of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when the town was a service center for the rural area around it. Today, Main Street’s buildings are still bordered by fields of crops and dairy farms, although there are no longer any commercial establishments in the town. Burkittsville became closely involved with the Civil War when forces of the Union and Confederate armies engaged in the Battle of Crampton’s Gap, a bloody prelude to the Battle of Antietam.

EMMITSBURG Emmitsburg, a quiet town nestled at the foot of the mountains, offers peace and tranquility. Incorporated in the early 1800s, Emmitsburg was the home of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. She established the first Catholic school in the U.S., that grew into St. Joseph’s College. The property is now home to the National Fire Academy and Homeland Security. A short drive away is Mount St. Mary’s University. In Emmitsburg you can relax but still be within driving distance to major cities such as Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Harrisburg. You are just a few miles from the Gettysburg Battlefield, Ski Liberty Resort and numerous golf courses.

MIDDLETOWN Middletown is a small, rural community steeped in American history. It is located in the beautiful Middletown Valley that stretches between the Catoctin Mountains on the east and South Mountain on the west. A young Lt. George Washington, while surveying the South Mountain area, reported that the valley to the east was one of the most beautiful places he had ever seen. Middletown continues to evolve from a settlement of farmers and ranchers to one of tradesmen, craftsmen, businessmen, clergymen, commuters and retired folk– without losing its agricultural roots.

From the stately old Victorian-style homes and soaring church steeples to the rustic dairy farms and modern housing developments, residents find in Middletown a refuge where they can enjoy small-town life as it used to be.

MOUNT AIRY The Town of Mount Airy is a nationally accredited “Main Street Maryland Community” and holds the State of Maryland’s esteemed “Community Legacy” designation. Located directly off of Interstate 70, it is about 45 minutes from both the Baltimore and Washington metropolitan job markets. One can quickly become enamored with downtown Mount Airy and its small-town charm, quaint old buildings and friendliness that takes you back to a time long past. Mount Airy has experienced a dramatic increase in growth, but because of effective growth management and land use strategies, still retains that quaint, small-town atmosphere. It boasts a booming downtown with community and cultural events, retail establishments, antique and craft collectible shops, cafes and restaurants.

WOODSBORO Early history suggests that the Woodsboro area was a hunting and trapping ground for a wandering tribe of Susquehanna Indians.

From early times, the settlement was located at a crossroads on the Indian trail running from the Chesapeake Bay to the mountains.

When the stagecoach became the primary mode of transportation, the place became an important stop on its itinerary. Today, Woodsboro is still primarily an agricultural area, but an important industry is centered on the three lime quarries that border the town.
