Dr. Silvestre and staff pose for a fun selfie with Nicole Olsen.

Giving

Always

Choosing an orthodontist can be a scary thing. I know when I was faced with the knowledge that my child would need braces, I didn’t know where to start or how to begin...do they take my insurance? Do they have convenient hours? Do they have a flexible payment schedule? Are they using the most up to date techniques? And most importantly, will my child like them? Will they connect with her as person, a hesitant and shy teen, and not just a number in a chart? When I met Dr. Justin Silvestre, I knew immediately I had found our orthodontist. “When I was planning the office I know it would be a big commitment – for me something that was worth more than

something you did just for a living. It’s the blending of every part of my life,” says Dr. Silvestre, “ I bring in parts of my personal life, those are the personal relationships we build.” OSIV’s motto is “Always Giving” And it’s easy to see why. Last year alone, Dr. Silvestre participated in a Girl Scout cookie buy back –called troop for troops, where his office purchased 90+ crates – or over 1000 boxes of cookies from local Girl Scout troops. They then sent half overseas to the troops and donated the other half to food pantries. They also participate in a summer food drive and a holiday food drive for the local food banks. “When you begin with giving in mind, it suddenly puts

our whole life philosophy in perspective. For us that is something that is so important. For me this is about improving people’s quality of life and well being, “says Dr. Silvestre. “We always seek to be better. When we chose to work with the people in our community it’s for the betterment of everyone. “ OSIV’s core values – Convenience, with Saturday and Weekend hours, along with cutting edge technology had me highly impressed. No more “gooey” impressions

here. 3D models are made on computers, ensuring a perfect fit. For my daughter, this was a game changer. The ease and convenience was second to none. Couple that with flexible payment plans, in network with most major insurance plans, and a genuine concern to make each and every patient comfortable, and you have the makings of a perfect relationship. “Our goal is to not only build amazing smiles...but amazing people” says Dr. Silvestre.

FOREVER & Always

Love, hearts, flowers, and chocolate are some of the first things that come to mind when one thinks of Valentine’s Day. The celebration of candy and cupids wasn’t begun by either Hallmark or St. Valentine however, although both made contributions to how most Americans celebrate today. The exact origin of February 14th is cloudy, but what researchers do know about this holiday for honeys might surprise you.

Ancient Rome is the first record we have for a Valentine’s Day-type celebration, except it was much more dark than gory than how most in today’s times would like to celebrate. From Feb. 13 to 15, the Romans celebrated the pagan feast of Lupercalia. Young women would actually line up for the men to hit them with the hides of sacrificed animals. They believed this would make them fertile. The bizarre also included a matchmaking lottery, in which young men drew the names of women from a jar. The couple would then be

“coupled up” for the duration of the festival or longer if they hit it off.

The legend of the romantic known as “St. Valentine” came later. This story is also traced back to the ancient Romans. Emperor Claudius II executed two men, both named Valentine, on Feb. 14 of different years in the 3rd century A.D. Their martyrdom was honored by the Catholic Church with the celebration of St. Valentine’s Day.Later, Pope Gelasius I combined St. Valentine’s Day with Lupercalia to oust the pagan rituals. In later times the holiday grew sweeter. Chaucer and Shakespeare romanticized it in their work. Handmade paper cards became popular in the Middle Ages as what friends and lovers gave each other as tokens of affection. The industrial revolution led to factory-made cards in the 19th century. In 1913 Hallmark Cards began mass producing valentines. The rest of course, is history.

Owners Rosanna Smith & Denise Purcell

Meet Denise Purcell and Rosanna Smith

They are the two dynamic entrepreneurs behind Saltability, a Himalayan Salt Cave and Float Therapy center located in Skippack at 4059 Skippack Pike.

Denise, an accountant by trade with her own book keeping business, I wondered what was the driving force behind waking up one day and thinking, “hey, let’s open a salt cave.” “It all started on a trip with my sister to New York to visit my son,” she says. While in Manhattan she saw a salt cave and thought it sounded cool. Denise and her sister both suffer from asthma and allergies. Salt cave sessions are believed to relieve symptoms for many sufferers and so they were anxious to give it a go. After just one session they noticed a significant improvement. “We both felt amazing,” says Denise, “and in fact, it was at that moment, I said, you know what, some day I’m going to open one of these.” It took a while, and the timing never felt right. That was until she ran into an old friend who was a minister. She was heading to Haiti and so Denise ended up going along. “It was an amazing trip. We went into the mountains, and even though I’m not a nurse I became one that week,” she says. “To go to a country like that and realize what people don’t have and the blessings we have, it’s humbling. It was very rewarding and it was at that moment I realized my passion was to help people.” A month after her return, as luck would have it a possible location was available in Skippack. Rosanna, a board certified massage therapist who shared a passion for wellness checked out the space with Denise and the rest is history. They started in June of 2017 and opened on September 7th of 2017. “It’s been foot on the gas pedal ever since. It was difficult since we work full time. But it was a miracle and we have never looked back.”

blocks line the walls and the floor is a deep bed of crushed salt, a float pod, an oxygen bar infused with young living essential oils, tanning, foot reflexology, red light therapy, rain drop therapy, and most recently, ion cleanse foot detox. “Everything that comes in the business is geared towards wellness”, says Rosanna. “We are a wellness and medical spa.” Saltability runs several seminars throughout the year, including classes in the salt cave such as yoga, acupuncture, and vocal and rhythmic sound exploration. “We keep adding and growing as the need arises.” I’ve been to the salt cave many times, and I can attest to it’s healing properties for my stiff joints. I’m anxious to give the flotation pod a whirl. Filled with over 1000 pounds of Epson salt in approximately 10” of water, Flotation Therapy is said to be a deeply relaxing experience. And who couldn’t use some relaxation in today’s fast paced world! As their website states, “created in collaboration with the life-wellness in mind and the study of how lifestyle choices effect our lives. Saltability Retreat offers wellness alternatives good for your… Mind. Body. Soul.” Call or visit today and start on your path to wellness.

Some of the amenities available at Saltability include the massive salt cave where Himalayan salt

HISTORY OF PLAYCRAFTERS Playcrafters was born in 1949 and was based in Lansdale. In 1956, Dage Nilsson bought some land adjacent to his property in Skippack, the site of an old barn. His son-in-law, John Bitterman Barricks, was a member of Playcrafters and suggested that the barn could be spruced up and made into a theater. One year later, after a full year of blood and sweat, the Playcrafters organization finished the barn in time for the first show in the space - Harvey - in the summer of 1957. Over the years, the organization has been an integral part of the Skippack community. The Barn itself has been remodeled numerous times, with the biggest recent remodel being completed in the early 2000s, adding a full addition to the building which now houses all of the dressing rooms for the actors and actresses.

FARM of DAVID WISMER, FUNKITE (structures removed 4/03)

are much older than the 1800’s. This may indicate the oldest portion of the residence being constructed during the Heizer ownership. The stone farmhouse had additions over the years. According to Mrs. Wilmer Reinford, who grew up there, the central portion of the home was the oldest, with smaller additions on each side. There was a steep pitched “A” dormer in the attic roof. The barn had siding of random width boards.

Location: west side of Bridge Rd. (Rt.113) across from the Landis Rd. intersection (near airport). Along the north and west border of adjoining farm at 797 Bridge Rd., Skippack Twp., Montgomery County, Pa. Ownership: 1747-1774 Valentine Heizer, 1774 Yellis Kolb, 1825 Joseph Kolb, 1836-1874 David Wismer, 1874-1898 Daniel Wismer / lately of Scholler. The maps of 1848, 1871, 1877 all show D. Wismer owning this farm. The 1893 map shows “D.S. Wismer” with 51 acres. This may be Daniel, son of David. Description: Large farmhouse and barn on approximately 50 acres with a large wetland area. The land also fronts on Perkiomen Creek Rd. The house and barn sit about 400 feet back from Rt. 113. The research supplied by Rev. Wilmer Reinford shows the Heizer family to be the first owner to list their children of record, living on a farm of 160 acres for 27 years. It appears that David Wismer purchased lands of this original Heizer farm. It is unverified if a house was included in the deed transfer, however an expert review has found that parts of the roof system Celebrating Community

The Funkite congregation began about the time support was building to separate the colonies from the rule of the King. During the late 1700’s there was a struggle among the Mennonites as to the pledge of allegiance to a new nation, as a revolution was about to take place. A Mennonite Bishop, Christian Funk, spoke in favor of supporting the movement. This sentiment was not appreciated by other Mennonite Bishops, as the Mennonites were opposed to supporting revolutionary violence and rebelling against the King, also with a revolutionary war tax that they were being asked to pay. As a result, Bishop Funk was excommunicated in 1778. He began his own religious congregation of followers, called Funk Mennonites or “Funkites”. Although Christian Funk died in 1811, the Funkite congregation met until 1850, approximately. They worshipped in four locations including nearby Evansburg, Lower Providence Twp. Until they had their own meetinghouses constructed, they may have met in homes of followers. In Evansburg, only a forgotten cemetery remains. (includes data from “Maintaining the Right Fellowship” by John Ruth, 1984) This was quite a serious turning point for the Mennonite religion and culture in the ccmonthly.com | 24

new world. Never before did anything so serious cause a break-up of the church, and among Mennonites who had suffered persecution together in Germany not too many years earlier. Skippack was the primary meetinghouse and congregation, also the location where Mennonite church policies were established in the new world. Given this, the struggle with Bishop Funk struck a heavy blow to Mennonites whose doctrine lead them to be nonviolent and somewhat pacifist, not taking a strong voice in politics. They may have thought that his ways and political support to a revolution could not be allowed to continue in the Mennonite church. One Funkite follower was David (R.) Wismer (1802-1875), the owner of this farmstead from December 4, 1836 to October 3, 1874 when he sold it to his son Daniel (S.) Wismer, the owner until March 25, 1898. Given these dates, it is likely that David grew up as a Funkite. His involvement in the Funkite church had him excommunicated from the Mennonites, as all Funkites were. He may have experienced the unfriendliness of the Mennonites towards the Funkites. It may also have been hard if the Wismer friends and family were split over their beliefs, with excommunication driving a wedge between them. It is possible that his large home served as a gathering place for the Funkites. As David Wismer became older, he established a cemetery on his farm, situated along Rt.113. The Reverend Wilmer Reinford, who grew up on a nearby farm, remembers local history saying that David Wismer was

somewhat headstrong and not the type to “give in” or face the Mennonites even after the Funkite church died out. Therefore he was not considering to be buried with the Mennonites in their church cemeteries. He rather had a burial ground of his own. The cemetery has been designated as #90 on a list documenting cemeteries of Montgomery County. It includes members of the “Gotwals” family, such as Catherine Gotwals who Rev. Reinford believes was a daughter of David Wismer. A. The David Wismer family farm was the only confirmed Funkite family location in Skippack. And it may be the only confirmed Funkite family location in the surrounding townships (as little or nothing was documented by the Funkites themselves). B. David Wismer’s farm and cemetery was the only sign of the Funkite’s existence at all in Skippack Township. The only sign existing nearby is the small cemetery near Evansburg, Pa. Researched and written by Mike Dickey Member of Skippack Historical Society
