Class of 2010 

As we sit here desperate to receive our diplomas, grasp the opportunities that life offers 

with passion. Make your lives extraordinary.” – Valedictorian Fariha Kabir 

Sherando Class of 2010 

Where one person can make a difference 

The stands are packed as graduates enter the gates 

of their final <strong>day</strong> at Sherando 



The traffic was backed up, the parking 

lot was full, and the morning was 

hot. But none of this could dampen 

the spirits of the Sherando High 

School graduating class on Satur<strong>day</strong>, 

June 1 at Arrowhead Stadium. 

I attended this event as a news reporter 

and a friend of several graduates. 

As with any graduation certain 

protocol is necessary. SGA President 

Lindsey Bauserman welcomed the 

students and the crowd by stating, 

Offering: • Student Classroom 

• Behind-the-Wheel 

• Re-Examinations 

“Take a deep breath and relax as we 

celebrate this moment,” and led the 

pledge of allegiance. The combined 

choirs sang the National Anthem and 

“You Are the New Day.” These are of 

course expected. 

The memorable parts came when 

speakers young and old spoke directly 

to the attendees to give them 

something to learn or hang on to for 

now and the future. Thus it began 

with Molly Beyer. She was given the 

opportunity to recognize a senior 

who passed away during the school 

year and never made it to this graduation 

<strong>day</strong>: Lindsay Delozier. Molly

Nick “Cookie” Cook and friends Abby and John pose 

after graduation 

remembers, “I saw so much life and 

happiness in her. Her smile was contagious. 

I could go on forever about 

the impact on my life. I’m glad to have 

known her. Some of us are wearing 

pins because she chose to be an organ 

donor.” Much more was said, but 

what came across was the feeling that 

one person can make a difference 

and touch the life of another forever. 

A moment of silence was dedicated 

to honor her life. 

The second memorable part was 

when Assistant Principal Tisinger 

presented the legend of the cap and 

gown: “Long ago, in ancient Greece, 

when formal education was for the 

very rich or the very determined, a 

wise old teacher was approached by 

a group of noblemen. ‘Our sons have 

completed their studies and it is time 

for them to return to their homes 

and live in the style befitting their 

station. On the morrow, we will hold 

a great banquet in their honor and 

expect them to be dressed in their 

finest garments.’ The old man smilingly 

answered, ‘They will be there,’ 

and he added, ‘appropriately dressed.’ 

The following <strong>day</strong>, the banquet hall 

was filled with royalty and nobility 

dressed in dazzling jewels and costly 

finery. Then came the great moment 

when the students entered with their 

beloved teacher. A startled cry arose 

from the crowds. For here were their 

young men dressed, not in the garments 

of the noble, but in simple 

sackcloth robes, each carrying a 

mortar board – the sign of a common 

work man. ‘Let me explain,’ spoke the 

teacher as he raised his hands for silence. 

‘Your sons are dressed in the 

clothing of the mason, for their destiny 

is to build. Some will build cities, 

some will build lives – perhaps one of 

them may even build an empire. But 

all will be builders on the solid foundation 

of knowledge.’ And thus, over 

the years, the cap and gown have 

become a traditional part of graduation, 

symbolizing the fact that our 

young men and women are builders 

– of their own future – and the 

future of the world.” It is a reminder 

that education is the foundation of 

the future.

of the ceremony at Sherando High School and the 

future of the graduates 

Jerica Hoopengarner decorated her mortarboard to 

commemorate graduation <strong>day</strong> 

<strong>day</strong> of high school and learned that 

the old adage “Carpe Diem” or seize 

the <strong>day</strong> is meaning that evolved as 

she and her classmates evolved into 

adults finding their way through various 

classes and breaking boundaries 

within themselves through learning 

opportunities. She stated, “As we sit

offers with passion. Make your lives 

extraordinary.”

Salutatorian Peter Restrepo began 

with an image from author Carl 

Sagan about light and the blue dot 

within. That dot is our safe place, our 

home, where everyone knows us and 

loves us. He compared that to a grain 

of sand in a vast cosmos and reminded 

us that that fact does not diminish 

our worth. He stated, “Facing the 

massive scale can be discouraging, 

but the tiniest miniscule object can 

affect the community.” He reiterated 

the common theme that one person 

can make a difference by ending with 

“We can build our world or destroy it 

through our actions.” 

Two Sherando High School teachers 

were selected to address the senior 

class: Mrs. Shelly Andrews and Mr. 

Steve Havrda. Andrews began with 

a realistic statement to the students, 

“Some are pondering the years while 

others are looking at their watches for 

the time of the diploma.” The words 

that followed not only addressed the 

graduates but also those who attended 

as a reminder that “ability without 

honor is useless” which she quoted 

from Cicero. Her own words were, 

“Look at struggles as an opportunity 

for growth. Our struggles build our 

strength which we can then evaluate 

and improve,” and that strength “sustains 

us and pulls us through the hard 

times.” Her closing statement, “Know 

that it is important to lead your life 

with pride and make yourself proud,” 

was as much for the crowd as for the 

graduates. 

Havrda wrote a formal speech and 

decided he didn’t need it after all. He 

threw it into the wind and simply 

spoke from his heart. He spoke of 

two groups of people. The first was 

“the people who really understand 

why we are here. The journey here 

started the first time a parent sang a 

lullaby or read a book to their child 

so that he or she could experience the 

www.sheilapack.net 

Search like the Realtors do! 

world. Thank you all for getting these 

grads here to<strong>day</strong>.” The second group 

was the graduates themselves. He explained 

how teachers are possessive 

of their students. “We sit around and 

talk about your accomplishments and 

say ‘that was my guy or my girl.’ One 

of mine.” The thought was “your actions 

go a lot further than yourselves. 

Go out there and grab life and do 

everything you can. People will ask 

where you graduated from – rise up 

and say (with emphasis) I graduated 

from Sheeerando!” 

The class of 010 gave the gift of 

a scholarship fund to the school to 

benefit the rising senior class, the 

SGA leadership was passed on to 

rising senior Lisa Rounds, Air Force 

Major Petraitis on behalf of the Air 

Force Academy awarded a full scholarship 

to Juan Gainsback, and the 

Winchester Star award was presented 

to Kahri Halbersma. 

Principal John Nelson recognized 

the faculty for their hard work and 

dedication to the school and the 

students before presenting the di-

plomas. Superintendent of Schools 

Patricia Taylor, Principal Nelson and 

Assistant Principal Kathleen Konopa 

lined up to honor the more than 300 

graduates and congratulate them on 

completing this part of the journey. 

The statics were read that 34% will 

go on to attend a four year college, 

46% to a two year college, 84% to attend 

a two year college then transfer 

to a four year college. Some will enter 

the workforce with others chose the 

military. 

The Alma Mater song was sung and 

a final farewell was spoken. 

The 17th class to graduate from 

Sherando High School walked away 

with over 1.4 million dollars in scholarship 

money to help with their future 

where they have learned that 

“one person can make a difference.” 

As for me, I walked away in the sweltering 

heat thinking that I am one 

person and I can make a difference. I 

hope that you, the reader, realize the 

same thing.

Co-ops represent a truly honest way to do business. With 

seven organizing principles that shape all co-ops, you’ll 

find cooperatives to be highly transparent organizations 

that value input from their member-owners. 

Co-ops proudly emphasize that people come before 

profits; as a member-owner, your voice speaks louder 

than the bottom line. Co-ops don’t have to answer to 

shareholders; they care more about meeting their 

members’ needs. 

When you’re part of a co-op, you know exactly what the 

co-op stands for. And exactly where the money goes. 

That’s what we mean when we say “co-ops turn values 

into good business.”

Herb Festival 




Sunflower Cottage 

Annual festival held in Middletown 

The Sunflower Cottage maintains the VA Herb Society 

demonstration garden to educate the community 

on how to combine beauty with usefulness. 



The Virginia Herb Festival was 

hosted at the Sunflower Cottage in 

Middletown last weekend. 

Crafters, vendors, music, wine tasting, 

gardens, pick your own lavender 

and a list of programs and demonstrations 

were held throughout the 

<strong>day</strong> as well as High Tea. 

The Cottage’s mission is to “promote 

the agrarian lifestyle through 

our garden center, demonstration 

gardens, working gardens, lunchand-learn 

by appointment, and 

workshop series.” 

Owners Arnold and Billie Clifton 

stated, “We know that you don’t have 

to be a professional farmer to grow 

and cook from your garden. We also 

know that a shift back to the time 

when most households enjoyed raising 

their own herbs and vegetables 

has begun and is in fact practical 

and necessary. Whether you live

Vendors arrived early in anticipation 

of a sunny weekend full of local 

and out of town shoppers. 

The Sunflower Cottage promoted 

the event and printed an event 

schedule for the 3 <strong>day</strong> festival. It was 

an ideal setting for the event since 

the Cottage is nestled off of Reliance 

Road with a vast spread of parking 

and walking areas. 

The Cottage itself has many offerings 

including a full service garden 

center. Two greenhouses sustain 

seasonal plants and a large selection 

of herbs. 

Outside you will find perennials, 

flowering shrubs, trees and during 

warmer weather, the largest selection 

of herbs anywhere. You will also find 

bagged and bulk mulch, containers 

large and small, seeds, tools, combo 

pots, herb gardens, topiaries, vegetable 

plants, berry bushes, bird baths, 

books and much more. 

A stone center provides a variety of 

choices such as retaining wall stone, 

raised bed stone, freestanding wall 

stone, patio and walk way pavers as 

well as natural stone. They also offer 

how-to clinics as well as referrals 

to local installers. Arnold states, “We 

can help you plan a new garden or 

draw a complete landscape design 

for your home or business and install 

it, too.” 

The Cottage Gift Shop offers gifts 

and gardening supplies for every taste 

with seeds, bulbs, and other supplies, 

as well as a variety of artistic gifts. 

A large selection of loose teas and a 

one-of-a-kind “sniffer bar” lets you 

experience the teas in a whole new 

way. 

The tea room is open by appointment 

for morning tea, lunch and 

afternoon refreshments. It can also 

be reserved for groups such as Garden 

Clubs, Red Hatters, Book Clubs, 

Church Groups, etc. The workshops 

and Cabin Fever Tea Parties include 

lunch in the tea room. 

Anne Warburton volunteered for 

the Virginia Herb Society and set 

up her tent next to the Herb Society 

demonstration garden. She stated 

that the garden was both for “beauty

and usefulness.” It shows the gardener 

how to plant useful herbs for cooking 

while still maintaining its beauty 

for aesthetics. The purpose of the society 

she stated “is to educate and for 

the enjoyment of the herbs.” 

John and Nancy Mitchell came 

from Mt. Gretna, PA to promote 

their store La Cigale which is a small 

family sewing shop working closely 

with a small family sewing shop in 

Southern France. They specialize 

in colorful table cloths which John 

states are “simply French, purely 

Provencal, and truly beautiful.” Their 

specialty is the acrylic coated 100% 

cotton table cloth. They are suitable 

for indoor and outdoor use. The shop 

is open to the public in PA near Hershey. 

John enjoys living in Mt. Gretna 

and reflects, “The town is very 

charming, small and a laid back community 

surrounded by conservancy 

and state game land. It has hiking 

trails, a lake and an outdoor theater 

for plays.” To contact La Cigale you

came from Linden to share her 

work. She has been painting for two 

years and enjoys the challenge. She 

paints oil bottles, trivets, flower pots 

and lazy susans. She said that the festival 

was very nice and that she was 

pretty happy with the set up. 

God Scent Herbs traveled from 

Pylesville, MD. Owners Patti Stinchcomb

Kayak Demo-Day 

Instant Replay Sports encourages kayaking in the valley 

Philip Carpenter and his nephew kayak on Lake Frederick on Satur<strong>day</strong>, June 5th 

during Instant Replay Sports’ annual Kayak Demo Day. 

By Abby Margretta 


Have you ever been driving 

along a river, seen a person kayaking 

and thought to yourself, I want 

to try that? Satur<strong>day</strong> June 5th, Instant 

Replay Sports owner Dan 

Whitacre made that possible. On 

Lake Frederick off Rt. 5 a kayak 

demo <strong>day</strong> was held from ten to 

four. This event allowed first-time 

kayakers to come out and paddle 

for free. 

Dan and Phil Carpenter, also of 

Instant Replay Sports, brought 

about ten different Emotion Kayaks. 

“All recreational boats, perfect 

for lakes, streams, the beach 

and slow moving rivers,” said Phil. 

Despite the clouds and a chance 

of rain, they had wonderful 

weather for kayaking–overcast 

and roughly eighty degrees. About 

forty people showed up to enjoy 

this event, which was completely 

free, including kayak, life jackets, 

and paddles. This was the second 

kayak demo <strong>day</strong> Instant Replay 

Sports has held, the first being 

last year. Half of the people who 

showed up were first-time paddlers 

and ranged from toddlers to 

senior citizens. 

The demo <strong>day</strong> was held to “introduce 

people to the sport in a 

comfortable environment.” It also 

allowed kayakers to come out and 

test the out the different kayaks 




sold at Instant Replay Sports. 

The guys also answered any 

and all questions about kayaks 

and the sport in general. For 

example the make and model 

of your kayak would depend 

on your age and weight, as 

well as what you plan to do 

with your kayak. 

There are three different 

kinds of kayaks, fifteen kayaks 

all together that Emotion Kayaks 

are selling this boating sea-

son. The three types of kayaks are: 

Sit On Top, used for deep water 

kayaking, the Sit In kayak, used 

mostly for kayaking in cold water 

conditions, and the Fishing Kayak, 

used for what other than fishing. 

You can customize your kayak 

with an array of colors to choose 

from as well as other customizable 

options for your kayak. Again, the 

type of kayak you purchase also 

depends on your age and weight. 

Some kayaks even have a second 

seat, perfect for paddling with a 

friend or loved one. 

The Shenandoah Valley is a great 

place to kayak and canoe. The 

Shenandoah River is a popular 

place to bring the kayak and the 

family to spend the <strong>day</strong>. There are

Donna Eagle, business and industry 

training coordinator at 

LFCC is excited about the opportunity 

for local children to participate 

in this series of classes, 

offered for the first time here. 

“These are exploratory career 

classes and it’s a new venture for 

us because we usually gear classes 

to younger kids and this one is 

this aimed at the 7-17 age group. 

This can step up their use of technology 

a notch. 

“The kids can dabble in it and 

produce a finished product. They 

are already used to cell phones 

and playing games, but this can 

get them involved in the editing 

and creative side of it,” she said. 

Black Rocket Productions’ Bill 

Zengel, an award-winning writer 

and producer and Richard Ginn, 

a distinguished teacher and administrator 

are the guides for 

these classes. Also teaching will 

be local teachers who are being 

trained by Ginn. 

Teachers will work with 7 to 17 

year-old students in age-appropriate 

sections, kids working in

“The first two week-long sessions 

start on June 8, and although 

there are a few spots left 

open, classes fill up rapidly,” Eagle 

said, “and later sessions may 

be filled with returning students 

from the first series. Kids will 

learn things now that can keep 

them busy all summer.”

This one empowers kids with 

the opportunity, through the 

power of technology to create 

their own songs, soundtracks, 

podcasts, or music videos, regardless 

of experience. Using 

tools like Garage Band and other 

mass media software, they will 

explore the basics of song composition, 

editing tracks, and create 

a music video. 

Lightz! Camera! Action! 

In this fun, exciting camp, students 

learn the dynamics of storytelling, 

shooting, editing, graphics, 

sound and more to make a 

movie. The last <strong>day</strong> of camp will 

be the World Premiere of their 

“I Made It Myself” production.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Making 

things more complicated than they 

need to be can be a problem for the typically 

orderly Lamb. Try to look for a 

less intricate way to accomplish the 

same goals. 

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) 

Avoiding personal involvement in a 

troubling situation might be advisable 

at this time, especially since you probably 

don’t have all the facts. The weekend 

brings a surprise. 

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A 

problem with a colleague you thought 

had been resolved could recur. However, 

this time you’ll be able to rely on 

your record to get a quick resolution in 


CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Giving 

your self-esteem a boost could be a 

good idea for the Moon Child, who 

might feel a bit daunted by the week’s 

occurrences. Just focus on all your positive 

accomplishments. 

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The 

“mane” attraction for the Lovable Lion 

this week is — what else? — love. New 

relationships move to new levels, while 

long-standing partnerships are 

strengthened. 

VIRGO (August 23 to September 

22) A recent workplace problem will 

prove to be one of miscommunication, 

and once the matter is settled, you

December 21) Try to control that heated 

Sagittarian temperament while 

dealing with what you believe to be an 

unfair matter. A cool approach is the 


CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 

19) Nursing hurt feelings could 

keep you from learning what went 

wrong. Ask your partner, a family 

member or a trusted friend to help you 

reassess your actions in the matter. 

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 

18) Nature is dominant this week. 

Try to spend time outdoors with someone 

special. An act of kindness in the 

past might be recalled by a person you 

believed was out of your life. 

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) 

An upcoming career decision could be 

based on how well you might be able to 

apply your artistic talents. Be sure to 

use the finest samples of your work to 

make a strong impression. 

BORN THIS WEEK: Doing good 

things for others comes easily to you. 

You are considered a good friend, even 

by those you might hardly know.

Summer Art Fun 

for the Kids 

Are the kids bored yet? Are they 

glued to the television or video 

games? There are quite a few things 

you can do with them over the summer 

without spending a lot of money. 

Make the rest of the summer about 

art, and plan to hold an art show before 

school starts. There are many artthemed 

projects you can do with the 

kids, and some of them even involve a 

little learning. 

Visit Goodwill or the Salvation 

Army (or ask on FreeCycle.org) and 

collect as many types of art supplies as 

you can find. Look for crayons, colored 

chalks, paper, paint, brushes and 

poster board. For those who want to 

do collages, hunt for fabric scraps and 

old magazines. Search out face paint, 

too, and partially filled cans of textured 

faux-finish interior paint. Save 

your glass jars.

Diversions 

• Let the kids use face paint to make 

the funniest/scariest faces they can, 

and have your budding photographer 

take photos to frame. 

• Take a walk in a local park and collect 

leaves, fallen acorns and grasses 

for collages and mobiles. Let the kids 

experiment with drawing or painting 

or taking digital photos of nature. If 

you’re near a beach, collect jars of 

sand to make sand candles or colored 

sand in jars. 

• Go to the library once a week. Pick 

out age-appropriate books on artists 

and let the kids practice imitating that 

artist’s work. Use the faux finish paint 

and thick cardboard to make frames. 

• By the end of the summer the kids 

will have a whole collection of artwork 

and projects for their art show. 

• For the show itself, string a line 

across the porch or between trees to 

hang the artwork. Let the kids design 

and make invitations to hand out to 

their friends. Invite the press, too, and 

use invitations designed by the kids. 

• With a little bit of planning and not 

much cash, you can foster some good 

habits in the kids as you teach them to 

use their ingenuity to create fun 

instead of heading directly for the

If getting out on the road these <strong>day</strong>s is 

making you nervous, you have good reason: 

According to the 010 GMAC Insurance 

National Drivers Test survey, approximately 

38 million American drivers 

would fail a written drivers test -- that’s 0 

percent of licensed drivers. The nation’s 

best drivers can be found in Kansas, while 

the worst drivers -- perhaps unsurprisingly 

-- are in New York.
