Our newsletter has turned into a great success and we ap-preciate all of your comments. We would very much like to begin mailing some of our newsletters instead of the hand de-livery which is slow at best. If you would like to receive your newsletter by mail, we would guarantee you first delivery. All we ask is that you take the opportunity to provide us with a mailing address and a stamp for each issue you would like mailed. Please send them to the Ellerslie Extra at PO Box 237 Ellerslie, MD 21529. And don't forget to include your mailing address and name. If you would like to send a subscription to a friend or family member who lives outside of Ellerslie, we could also do that for $6.00 for 1 year. This would cover cost of printing and postage .

Thanks for making the Ellerslie Extra a success!

State Line Entpthyees Eoir BankRofifieg Attempt(s)

An attempted robbery of the State Line branch of Hoblitzell National Bank was foiled by employees, not once, but twice; that's right twice, by bank employees. The attempted theft took place on Thursday, Novem-ber 13, 1997. The first at-tempt occurred about 9:30 AM. Employees locked the door before the suspect

could enter. Then, at about 2:30 PM, the same suspect came back again. He was recognized and locked out again by employees. Ap-parently, the suspect cov-ered his face and attempted to enter through the front door. To those bank em-ployees, Well Done, not once but twice.

Ambulance Service Conducts

Benefit Hoagie Sale

The Ellerslie Ambulance Service recently conducted a benefit fund raiser to help a fellow EMT and his family who were the victims of a fire in their home. The family's home in Hyndman, PA sus-tained severe damage as a re-sult of the fire. Mr. Huffman is a fellow emergency medical technician and belongs to the Hyndman Area Rescue Squad. The ambulance sold approximately 400 hoagies on the Dec. 6 sale.

The Ellerslie Vol. Ambu-lance Service would like to thank - DeVore's Market, Einerick's Meat & Packing Co, Schmidt Baking Co., and D'Atri's Bakery for their generosity. Also, a very spe-cial thanks to YOU the cus-tomer for making our benefit hoagie sale a great success!

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

This month we would like to put Dick Fetters in the spotlight. Dick is a long time resident of this community. He resides on Hummingbird St. with his wife Marie and their family. Dick is currently active in both the fire department and the ath-letic booster committee. At the fire department, Dick served as chief for many years, and now he participates as one of the department's drivers. At the athletic association, Dick has worked very long hours maintaining the ballpark this past year. He also could be found serving up sausage sandwiches during the recent pee wee soccer tournament. If you see Dick out and about, take the time to tell him how much you appreciate his work for the community.

pour Citizczn's Committiz Many residents, espe-

cially the new ones are unfamiliar with the local citizen committee and its responsibilities. The com-mittee consists of 5 elected members of the community. Each member serves a 2 year term. 2 members are elected one year and 3 members the following year. Elections are always held on the first Tuesday in March.

The committee is funded by two sources. The first and most obvious is the $0.10 tax on $100 dollars of assessed value on your home and property. The second form of rev-enue comes from a rebate we receive on the piggy-back tax our citizens pay to the county.

The committee utilizes this revenue in many ways. The first and primary thing the committee does is pay for and maintain the street

Citizen's Committee

Sets Election Date

The Citizen's Com-mittee of Ellerslie has set March 3, 1998 as the date for its annual election. Voting will take place at the fireball from 12 .00 PM until 7:00 PM. Any property owner re-siding in the taxing district may vote.

Anyone eligible to vote is also eligible to seek and hold office on the com-mittee, Any resident wishing to run in the ,

election should con-tact Dick DeVore prior to February 15, 1998.

lights in town. The com-mittee then utilizes the re-maining revenue to fund other projects of the fire department, ambulance service, and athletic asso-ciation. The committee also attempts to provide some funding for street and road repairs of non-county roads when fund-ing is available. They also assist in providing this publication for you.

The current committee members are Dick De-Vore, Frank Clark, Bill DeVore, Janet Kendall, and Helen Phillips. In order to serve on the com-mittee, the citizen must be a property owner and re-side within the taxing dis-trict. The district runs from the state line south to the Baptist church, in-cludes all homes west of the Ellerslie Road and all homes east of the highway to Wills Creek.

Area Youths Excel in Karate

The Ellerslie area has a few kids who are becoming karate stand outs. From na-tional rankings to placing in national tourna-ments, these kids have put forth a great ef-fort and it appears to be paying off.

Travis Emerick, son of Ron and Cheri Emerick and grandson of Gary and Doris Cook, has been actively involved in Karate since age 4. He began the sport in Novem-ber of 1991 by attending classes at the Na-tional Academy of Karate Systems. Travis earned his black belt in July of 1996 and is currently working on the 2 nd degree of his black belt. Travis has been recognized by the Sports Karate International magazine. The magazine included Travis in its national ranking system, listing him as one of the top students of the sport. Travis has partici-pated in tournaments locally in the Pitts-burgh and Washington area and also in the World Super Grands tournament held in Texas.

Nicholas Logue, son of Debbie and Greg Logue and grandson of Richard and Nancy See and Colleen Logue, has been participat-ing in karate since January of 1996. Nick is currently a red belt and will be testing soon for his brown belt. He is expected to test in March of 1999 for his black belt. Nick has participated in tournaments in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. In November of 1997 Nick participated in a PKA tournament in New Kensington PA. In this tournament, he placed 1 in sparring in the 7-9 year old ad-vanced class. In this tournament Nick was awarded points towards his PA ranking. Nick was also named Grand Champion in his division for a inner school tournament held in September of 1997. Nick trains at the National Academy of Karate Systems.

Marcus Kendall is yet another karate par-ticipant. Marcus is the son of John and Tr-ish Kendall and the grandson of Betty and Dickie Kendall and Becky and Ron Shaffer. Marcus is currently a blue belt with a red tip and will be testing in the near future for his red belt. His anticipated test date for black belt is June of 1999. In September of 1997, Marcus placed fd in all divisions in sparring, forms, and weapons. This tournament was conducted in Pittsburgh, PA. Marcus is also a student at the National Academy of Karate.

Well done guys. We wish you luck and great success in your karate endeavors.

Schedule Baseball Signup

The Ellerslie Athletic Association Booster Committee has sched-uled its annual base-ball sign-up to take place on January 11, 1997. The sign-up will run from 6 PM to 8 PM and will be held at the Ellerslie Fire Hall. The registration fee will re-main the same as last year at $20 per child to a maximum of $50 per family, however in the event of financial hard-ship, the registration fee can be waived by contacting President George Knotts. The goal is to give every child the opportunity to participate. The sign-up will include all team ranges from pee-wee through hot stove. The regular booster committee meeting will also take place that night at 6:30 PM.

were selected to the I t team. Two players were

selected to the 2nd team and they were Brett Landis, and Justin Morgan. The remain-ing athletes selected Ben Brewer, Travis Hook, Shane Hager, and Clifton Martin.

President Knotts took the opportunity to commend all those in-volved in our athletic program and several successes that the com-mittee had, including the purchase of new uniforms for all the ath-letic teams. Knotts also read a touching letter from grandparents of a child who participated in the athletic program and how grateful they were of those involved.

The event concluded with the kids given the opportunity to dance to the Hokey Pokey, the Limbo, and the Mar-caraina. Music was pro-vided by Megan Ray-mond and Beth Lamm.

The Wail is Com ► lete Few of us are probably aware of the massive undertaking recently completed by

Mr. Abe See of Mason Dixon View. Mr. See has been working on a 5 year project which he now labels as being complete.

The project, the construction of a huge stone retaining wall, was started in Octo-ber of 1992 and was completed on September 4, 1997. During that 5 year period, Mr. See trucked in several tons of stone for the construction. The stone was held together by almost 1200 bags of cement. All these materials and time resulted in a wall the rises to heights of 13 feet. The overall length of the L shaped wall is a stag-gering 132 feet, with depths reaching 6 to 7 feet. Truly a project built to last. Con-gratulations Mr. See on the completion. This staff writer watched you exhaustive efforts and admires your perseverance to see your project through.

When asked what's next, Mr. See commented that he would be constructing a basketball court with his new wall as the back drop. A good opportunity for some well deserved R & R.

Soccer Award Banquet

The Booster Commit-tee of the Ellerslie Ath-letic Association recently held its first annual soccer awards banquet at the fire hall. The event was coor-dinated by members of the group to recognize the children who partici-pated in the first year of our soccer program. The kids were presented with medallions for their par-ticipation. The children from the winning peewee team from our soccer tournament were also presented with special plaques donated by G & G Studios.

The Time Capsule TA Old King Farm

By Janet Lybarger As I write this article about one

of the earliest homes in this area, I'm going to attempt to be as exact as I know how. The information is from historical sources such as The National Register, Washington DC., Johns Hopkins University Library, Baltimore, MD, Maryland State Archives, Annapolis, MD, the Last Will of Benjamin Tomlinson, and his family cemetery.

The home was built in 1793 by Tomlinson. The original name was Rural Felicity Homestead. It was the first brick home in Allegany County. There was a large slave house as well as other tenant houses on the (plantation), as Tomlinson referred to it in his will. I'm unsure of the original acreage. The bricks were made on site. The house was well ahead of it's time in style with common and Flemish Bond brick work. The rafters at the roof are pegged together with large wooden pegs and are numbered with old style Roman numerals, i.e.VIIII as opposed to IX=9. Also hand made or forged nails were used in the floors, etc. The ceilings were random width boards, tongue and grooved by hand. Fireplaces were used for heat through out the house. Original windows are visible on the first floor along with very old glass panes. The foundation was laid of large fieldstones approx. 2 feet thick. The first floor is 4 courses of brick and the 2 nd floor is 3 course of brick. The interior walls on the first floor are brick from the basement floor to the second floor. The structure is 2 1/2 stories with the 'A story being used for house servants. There are 3 chimneys jutting from the roof.

Benjamin Tomlinson was a very prominent man of his day. As well as a plantation owner, he served in

the MD State Legislature for eleven terms in the late 17 and early 1800's. He was one of a team of three men who designed the Alle- gany Co. courthouse in Cumberland and he also worked with the old Cumberland Road from Cumber-land to Hancock. He was the founder of the First Bank of Alle-gany, which I am researching at present to confirm the theory it could be the 1" National Bank of MD. If so, it is quite an accom-plishment.

There is much more history about Tomlinson. Its an injustice to him that his home doesn't bear any mention of his name or the original name he gave it. The reason being that near to the time Ellerslie was settled, Alexander King from Hampshire Co. WV, married Tom-linson's granddaughter thus starting the King clan, who became promi-nent people in the area. The Tom-linson men, sons and grandson, to whom the farm was willed, died at a very early age and the daughters married and moved away. The Tomlinsons raised eleven children here. Many are buried along with Benjamin and his wife in the ceme-tery just above the house. The property was in the King family un-til 1923, (and that's another story). We have owned the farm since 1959 and have restored it to a working farm, keeping it as near to original as possible. We received a preservation award in 1976 from MD Preservation Society. The Na-tional Register has requested it be recorded to history. It is also recorded in the book Colonial and Historical Homes of MD along with a picture. The history of the farm is in the Johns Hopkins University Library in Baltimore, MD. I per-sonally would like to see the Tom-linson name returned to the farm in some way. Which, due to time, may not be possible.

Check Your Detector

The single most important thing you can do to help your family escape from a fire in your home is to have a properly working smoke detector. Please take the time to check the detector's battery and ensure its continued operation. You can not rely on the mere smell of smoke to wake you. In most cases, it won't. The latest study suggests that the sense of smell sleeps with the body. A working detector will buy you the time you need to allow your family to safely exit the home using a designated fire escape plan. Now go check that battery.

Neighborhood Watch Sponors Family Picnic in January.

You talked, we listened. In our survey, we asked you about your interest in the Neighbor-hood Watch program. Many people said they would be interested, but that timing is the key to getting to the meetings. We know that when you get home form work at 5, there is dinner to prepare, and the kids need help with their homework. We have come up with a great solution! We will have a family picinic style meeting at 6 PM, (you bring a covered dish, plates, silverware, and your own soft-drinks.) After dinner, the adults will have a meeting, and the kids can do their homework! This event is planned for January 14, 6 PM at the firehall. All are welcome! Plan to attend!
