Talbot County 4-H / FFA Livestock Auction Committee?
The sum of the Parts is Greater than the Whole!
By: Thomas Reilly
The article in the June issue of the Talbot Guide again mentioned the Livestock
Auction Committee “on behalf of” by the
writer. Many previous articles in past issues
have also been written “on behalf of” so by
now I hope that you’ll want to know who
are the members of this Committee.
Who are the people who have provided the Leadership planning, organizing,
coordinating and executing their plans to
renovation and construct buildings over the
last 6 /7 years at the Talbot Agricultural and
Education Center on Hiners Lane?
All of these members are volunteers
with a passion and they bring their diverse
expertise to the team enabling the Committee to successfully take on a number of
challenging projects that have enhanced the
livestock accommodations for the Annual
Talbot County 4-H Livestock Shows.
The Livestock Auction Committee has
grown in size over the years from two when
Carla and Howard Callahan ran the event,
to three when Sonny and Terri Snow and
Tom Reilly stepped up to relieve them.
A few years later, Tom, Sonny and
Terri needed some additional help with a
challenge that surfaced. They recognized
that this challenge, of building renovation,
was bigger than the three of them so they
summoned some people for a meeting. The
Committee grew again this time to seven
members, the four additional members
were---Darian Sump, Bill and Susan
Behrens and Stacy Hofman. Today, the
Committee has ten members with the addition of Martin Roe, Wes Schuman, and
Billy Boyles. Tom Hutson, University of
Maryland 4-H Program Coordinator at the
Talbot County Extension Office gratefully
took Stacy Hoffman’s position on the Committee when Stacy moved on from that 4-H
Extension Position.
I want to publically Thank each and
every one of them for all of your time--Many Many evening meetings and efforts
over all these challenging years with a multitude of hurdles to overcome.
Have you’ll heard the old saying, “The
sum of the parts is greater than the Whole”.
This is the makeup of this Committee;
each member brings a diverse expertise to
the table. But it does not end there! The
contributions by so many other volunteers
to step up to help the Committee in each
step of the projects when we needed additional manpower. Local Businesses, organ-
izations, individuals and Families provided
Professional Services—McCrone Inc.,
Durbin Engineering, Sump Associates,
Ricky Swan Painting; others provided material donations---Towers Concrete, Johnson Lumber, Andrew Frase Excavating,
Nagel Farm Services. Monetary donations
came from individuals, families, organizations and businesses as well as from four
different fund raising events. With the help
of University of Maryland 4-H Extension
Coordinator Stacy Hoffman, Ryan Snow
developed a fund raiser for the Livestock
Building and earned his 4-H Diamond
Clover Level Award. The Livestock Building Project was completed over a two and
half year time span and involved signing
two contracts. The next project was construction of a new 4-H Beef Barn and three
fund raisers were completed. The kick off
for the Beef Barn Fund raising was the auctioning of a donated Hereford Beef Steer
from the Bramble Family of Norwich
Creek Farm. Next, with the Help of Tom
Hutson, University of Maryland 4-H Extension Coordinator, Allison Roe developed
a Beef Barn Fund Raiser and achieved her
4-H Diamond Clover Award. The Beef

Livestock Auction
Committee
Barn Ad Book was the final fund raiser introduced, developed and completed by Wes
and Linda Schuman. All three were successful and needed to complete the Beef
Barn Project. A contract was signed with
Kramer Construction to erect the building.
The latest project, just completed, is the installation of new underground electric distribution to the four livestock buildings
with new two hundred amp service panels
in each building and included new electric
inside the new Beef Barn via a contract. On
top of this, three Grant Proposals each prepared and submitted by three different
Committee Members over this seven year
span were approved by Choptank Electric
Trust in support of these Projects. The
Committee worked very closely with Talbot County Government and Planning
Agencies to ensure compliance with all the
local standards and regulations.
The old saying, “The sum of the parts
is greater than the whole” is the moral of
this article. All of the parts---The Community: Individual, Families, Organizations,
Businesses; Contractors; County Government; 4-H members; Volunteers; providing
monetary grants and donations, professional service donations, donations of material, time and sweat equity. These are the
parts that have come together with the leadership and direction of the Committee and
therefore the Committee is just one of the
parts NOT the whole reason for the successful completion of these projects.
The Talbot County 4-H/FFA Livestock
Auction Committee is ten members who
have relied on all of you and your support
and gratefully Thank-you for helping our
Youth to have a positive and rewarding experience at the Talbot County 4-H Fair. God
Bless you all. And again, Thank-you.
So come out and support the Talbot
County Fair on July 11th thru 14th, Hiners
Lane, off of Rt. 50 North of Easton. Livestock auction will be held 7:00 p.m. on July
14th. Great food and fun for all. For more
information go to our website at talbotcountyfair.org.
Happy 1st Birthday

Oxford Business
Association Has
Schedule of
Summer Events
The waterfront Town of Oxford will
be hopping with activities for everyone this
summer! The Oxford Business Association
has planned events for the young and old
alike to include a little bit of history, music,
and of course – a maritime theme.
The annual fireworks display will take
place at dusk on the evening of Tuesday,
July 3. This event, sponsored by the Tred
Avon Yacht Club each year, is always popular so come early and get your spot on the
Strand.
Want to brush up on the history of Oxford? A historic walking tour will take
place on Saturday, July 14, beginning at
1:00 p.m. Your tour guide, local Leo
Nollmeyer, will meet you at the Ferry Dock
and guide you on a 45 minute tour of the
Town and its history, pointing out historic
landmarks and telling you tales from the
past.
Sunday, August 5, the Park will again
be alive with music! The Chesapeake Steel
Drum Band from Annapolis, will be back
by popular demand to entertain. This 25
piece ensemble was here in 2010 and drew
a large crowd. The concert will begin at
3:00 p.m.
Also in August you won’t want to miss
the Tred Avon Player’s production of “ The
Drowsy Chaperone”. The Tony winning
Broadway hit pays homage to 1920 American musicals. A recluse New Yorker listening to a recording of a musical comedy
is transported into the musical. The consequent plot highlights mistaken identities,
dream sequences, an unflappable English
butler, an absent minded dowager, gangsters, and millionaires. The show will
begin on Thursday, August 9 and run
through August 26.
The Town will also be alive with sailboats as the Tred Avon Yacht Club hosts
their annual Oxford Regatta the weekend
of August 10 through 12. The ever-popular
log canoe fleet will be on the water as well!
For more information on any of these
events, please visit the Oxford Business Association’s
website,

Plein Air - Easton! Announces New Opening Event
In celebration of its eighth anniversary,
Plein Air–Easton! has launched a brand new
opening event presented as a benefit to members of the Friends of Plein Air–Easton!.
The Friends of Plein Air–Easton! Opening
Dinner & Paint-Out takes place Saturday,
July 14 (Bastille Day) on the Normandie estate located on the Tred Avon River. The
property boasts beautiful water views, striking architecture, lovely gardens, and an impressive
world-class
classic car collection.
The Opening Dinner

guests the opportunity to
meet this year’s 58 competitors—some of the
most renowned artists in
the world of plein air
painting—as they arrive,

talented artists will be
eager to connect or re-connect with our community,
make new friends, and
gather tips on the best
places to paint in the upcoming competition week.
Artists will also be invited
to paint that evening, allowing guests to become
familiar with the artists’
work and get the inside
track on who to watch
during the week ahead.

lovers. The Opening Dinner & Paint-Out
follows the romantic tradition of Victorian
picnic paint-outs on great estates in the company of patrons. The evening will end with
an exhibit and sale of the works created that
day.
Normandie, home of Gale and Henry
Petronis, was designed in 1927 by famed
Philadelphia architect Frank J. Forster.
Forster was known for appropriation of old
world style, and Normandie references a
French village in its layout. On 64 acres, the
house is ideally suited on a Tred Avon River
peninsula, with waterfront views on three
sides.
In addition to the main residence, there
is a large structure fondly called the Auto
Barn, which houses the couple's collection
of classic cars. The Petronis collection consists of 45 to 85 (depending on the owner's
current interests) American cars of the
1930’s and 40’s. Henry talks about these automobiles as “just for fun,” and they are the
successors to his renowned collection of European cars. The Petronis’ are frequent hosts
for domestic and foreign automobile enthusiast clubs.
The Friends of Plein Air-Easton! is an
active base of supporters and collectors who
strive for the sustainability and success of
Plein Air–Easton! while promoting conservation and tourism through the arts and a distinct sense of place. This year, as the primary
benefit for becoming a “friend,” donors will
be invited to attend the first Friends of Plein
Air-Easton! Opening Dinner & Paint Out, on
Saturday, July 14 at 7pm.
Plein Air–Easton! is the work of the
Avalon Foundation, a nonprofit organization
whose mission is to provide diversified arts
and educational programs that improve the
quality of life in the Mid-Shore region. The
Academy Art Museum is the accredited museum venue for the competition exhibit. The
event is also supported by the Talbot County
Arts Council, along with corporate and individual donors. Strong community support
and sponsorships have helped make Plein
Air–Easton! one of Easton's largest events
and America’s premier plein air festival.
Artists’ and judges’ bios, galleries, itineraries, educational components, registration
for ticketed events, Friends of Plein Air–Easton! membership information, and more are
available at www.pleinaireaston.com. For
further information, email [email protected] or call the Plein Air–Easton! hotline

Are You Financially Fit?
Do you ever lie awake at night and
wonder, how on earth am I going to pay for
college? Or, what will happen to my kids if
I were to get sick, or worse, die? Or perhaps even more basic, I know I’m living
beyond my means, but how do I untangle
this web I’ve created?
Financial fitness is a phrase I use when
talking to people about their money. Just
like exercise, getting your personal finances
in order can be painful, exhausting, and
hard to keep up with. But the peace of
mind it can provide is priceless. Here is my
David Letterman style “top ten list” for you
to stop and consider. None of these tips are
easy, or quick, to implement. And in your
lifetime, you may never be able to say you
have all these issues in order. But thinking
about it, having a thoughtful conversation
with the people you love, and taking baby
steps towards the issues you feel are most
critical deserves a pat on the back.

1. Emergency Savings. The general rule
of thumb is 6 months worth of living expenses. This can seem like a lot of money
to have available in savings, and it may
take you years to accumulate it, but set the
goal today, even if its $50 a month, and
start saving.
2.
Legal
Documents.
Will/Trust/POA/Health Directives. Did
you know that if you want your spouse to
be able to look at medical records in the
event something happens to you, you need
a HIPAA release form? Not a well known
fact. Knowing what documents are the
right ones for your situation, and getting
them into place is the key to knowing your
affairs will be taken care of if something
happens to you. The process can be involved, but the good news is that once the
first sets of documents are finalized, keeping them up to date is a cinch.
3. Retirement. Probably the most important long term commitment to make to
yourself. And one of the basic recommendations that is NOT heeded is to pay yourself each month. Families often put college
savings and debt repayment as the first priority, and it is understandable why, but retirement savings is a must. The future of
social security’s role in your retirement is
murky at best, so start paying yourself
today. If you have a 401(k) at work, make
sure you are contributing enough to earn
the full employer match. Start an IRA. Retirement vehicles are a wonderful way to
accumulate wealth for retirement because
of the tax deferral status.
4. College. College is expensive, period.
The only thing more difficult to fathom is
that it’s likely to get more expensive down
the road. Setting up a college savings plan
is an easy way to plan for your children’s
future. Have you started one?
5. Life Insurance. The people who need
life insurance the most, are often the ones
who don’t have it. Families with young
children have the most to protect- they typically have a mortgage, car payment, child
care expenses, health costs, etc. If something happens to the person who provides
the most income, what will happen? Term
insurance, which is often the most appropriate, can be relatively affordable and provide coverage to allow you to sleep at
night. An investment well worth its price.
6. Goals. Do you want to buy a home in
the next 5 years, or think you’ll want to sell
the one you are currently in? What about
your job- do you think you’ll keep the same

Are You Financially Fit?
employment, or do you see yourself making a change? Longer term- what will retirement look like? Asking yourself these
questions, or discussing them with a loved
one, can really help you put together a
roadmap for your financial future. Even
though these goals are likely to change,
having this dialogue can help craft a plan
and help you stay the course to financial
freedom.
7. Tax planning. Taxes. What else can I
say? Not only do the tax rates change, the
laws do as well. This type of ever changing
environment can be difficult to navigate.
Whether you do them yourself, or enlist a
qualified CPA, understanding the basics of
why certain decisions are advantageous
from a tax standpoint can be very helpful
when trying to plan for the future.
8. Investments. Do you know what you
are invested in? Are the investments in line
with your goals and values? Investment
options are wide and plentiful, which is
wonderful, but overwhelming at the same
time. Just managing your 401(k) can be
enough to have you throw in the towel.
What’s most interesting is that, generally

speaking, people believe that the individual
investments they choose is the most important decision they make when it comes to
investing. In reality, understanding your
time frame for when you think you’ll need
the money (ie, buying a car, saving for college, or retirement planning) and allocating
funds according to some basic formulas is
much more important to you successfully
reaching your goals.
9. Current Events. Today’s economy is
constantly evolving, and globally connected. Hot economic topics recently include the ongoing housing recovery (or
lack thereof, depending on the day), the crisis in Europe, and the upcoming election
here in the US. You may not understand
how all these things are related, or why, but
knowing that the economy is now global
can explain why these issues impact your
money here locally.
10. Regular Reviews. Things change, you
change. Making a point to review your
documents, accounts, investments, and the
advisors you have around you is important
and time well spent. Some might think get-

ting all these issues in order one time is
enough, but your legal documents, your retirement plan, or your life insurance policy
is only as good as your last set of circumstances before you hit that unexpected
curve in the road. Figure out a time of the
year that works for you, and stick to it. Tax
time is always a good opportunity, since
you are already doing half the work getting
your financials ready for Uncle Sam.

Silver Linings of Easton Raising Funds for
Our Injured Heroes
Silver Linings of Easton is taking a
lead in raising awareness and funds benefiting heroes among us. So far, $700,000
has been raised nationally by the From Soldier to Soldier bracelets, an awareness and
fund-raising campaign in support of se-
verely injured veterans and their families,
with Silver Linings playing a significant
role.
The campaign is based on the sales of
a designer version of the survival and
friendship bracelets worn by many US and

allied soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. The
bracelets are handcrafted in the US.
For every bracelet sold in Easton, $20
goes to Homes for Our Troops, one of the
nation’s top rated charities, which has built
more than 100 adaptive homes for severely
injured US veterans of the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars.
“We thank Silver Linings of Easton, its
dedicated staff, and its customers for their
wonderful support of this unifying cause,”
stated Niels Christiansen, CEO of
LovelinksAmerica, the Massachusetts company behind the national campaign. “Together with our retailers, we have raised
enough funds for beautiful homes for two
heroes. Our aim is to help Homes for Our
Troops towards the organization’s stated
goal of providing another 100 homes over
three years.”
The need is even greater. As many as
1,400 mostly young severely injured veterans, who require special care for the rest of
their lives, are eligible for adaptive homes.
The homes allow them to live near normal
lives in spite of horrific injuries suffered in
their service of our country.
From Soldier To Soldier is neither pro
nor anti war. It is pro our young men and
women who put their lives on the line for
our country and made significant sacrifices.
It is about the survival, friendship and commitment, symbolized by the bracelets.
The bracelets in the field are braided
by the soldiers with parachute cord. They
are known as survival bracelets, because
they can be unraveled and the paracord can
be used for many purposes in a pinch. They
are also exchanged among the soldiers as
friendship bracelets. Often a uniform button is sewn on and used as the clasp.
The designer version has a sterling silver clasp shaped like a uniform button and
is extremely tightly braided. Sterling silver
and gold plated sterling silver heart clasps
with and without a small diamond are also
available.
The button clasp symbolizes the uniform. The clasped bracelet symbolizes the
bond among the soldiers that can never be
broken. To some, each knot in the bracelet
symbolizes a fallen hero.
The From Soldier to Soldier bracelets
are a stylish fashion statement with a conscience and a powerful fund-raiser in honor

A Feast for the
Senses
By Terry Callahan
Rows of purple blossoms swaying in
the breeze release their soothing aroma.
While lavender, both an herb and an evergreen, has its primary blossoming season in
June, Jay Falstad, owner of Calico Fields
Lavender Farm along with his wife Christa,
adds that there is often a second blooming
around September. Lavender is an unusual
crop, and the Falstads chose it for several
reasons.
Calico Fields’ first crops were sweet
corn, sunflowers and cut flowers. “But
since we don’t use chemicals (herbicides or
pesticides) we found ourselves spending an
enormous amount of time tackling weeds,
cultivating every few days just to keep up,
and chasing the deer away.” Instead, they
chose a crop that was “unique, pleasing to
us personally, and didn’t require the near
daily weeding,” says Jay. “Lavender isn’t
too difficult to grow, so long as the soil conditions are good. The biggest mistake people make in growing lavender is they
overwater it.”
The whole family is involved in the
farm. Christa does almost all the harvesting, drying and making of the product line.
Jay maintains the fields and sells their products at farmers markets in Easton, Chestertown and Kent Island, along with running
the still to distill the lavender for the oil,
maintaining the beehives and harvesting the
honey. Their children, Paige (7) and Aidan
(4), help with the harvesting and other
lavender-related chores and serve the
Lavender Lemonade and lavender iced tea
at the annual open house.
When it is harvesting time, there are
nearly three acres of plants to be cut on
their twelve-acre farm. “All of our lavender is harvested the good old-fashioned
way – by hand,” says Jay. “It’s very labor
intensive, but it’s a labor of love.” Once the
plants are harvested, the lavender bunches
are either dried to be used in products later
on, distilled down for their oil, or sold as
live bunches. At first, Jay sold fresh-cut
bunches at farmers markets. Products progressed to dried wreaths and arrangements.
“Once we bought the still and started distilling the lavender, then we branched into
incorporating oil into the other products we
make,” explains Jay. All of the products are
made right on the farm, “with great care

and attention to detail and quality,” adds
Jay.
Lavender oil is the key product ingredient. All of the oil is derived from distilling the plant. “The still is filled with
lavender and then heated. Once the water
reaches the boiling point, the steam rises
and carries the oil with it. It rises through
the condenser and, when it comes out, the
oil floats on top of the water,” describes
Jay.
The acres of lavender consist of both
English and French varieties. Most of the
English lavender buds are dried and then
processed for culinary purposes or made
into wreaths. French lavender is primarily
used for oil production and aroma purposes, such as sachets.
Lavender is an herb; depending on the
type of lavender it has a wide array of culinary uses. A small amount can be added to
roasted vegetables or grilled meats or
mixed with teas,
lemonade
or
even salt and
pepper.
For
dessert, it can be
used in sweets
such as lemon
cake and chocolate. Jay recommends,
“In
beverages, nothing beats lavender lemonade,
especially at this
time of year.
There’s
even
lavender
ice
cream and lavender chocolate,
and they’re both
delicious.”
Currently,
there are twelve
beehives on the
grounds
with
plans to add
more. Jay says,
“We harvest the
honey right after
the
lavender
bloom … if
you’ve never had
lavender honey,
you don’t know
what
you’re
missing – it’s
amazing!”
H o w e v e r,
lavender has another side – its
aroma benefits.
Lavender
is
known as a sleep
aid for which the
buds, oil and hydrosol are used.
The essential oil
made
from
lavender also has
a variety of uses.
(continued on
page 25)
24
(continued from page 24)
For example, it has been used on skin
rashes or burns as a medicinal aid. The Falstads use lavender oil to mix in with their
line of soaps, lotions, creams, lip balms,
and candles. “And we are always working
on new and different ways to use lavender,”
says Jay.
Calico Fields Lavender’s website
(www.calicofieldslavender.com) lets the
viewer “meet” the Falstads, share in the
beauty of a lavender blooming, and get
more information on lavender uses and
products. The Falstads can also be contacted through Facebook (Calico Fields
Lavender) or at the farm, (410) 928-3505.
Jay will be at the Easton Farmers Market
on July 7th and 21st and August 4th and
18th and, weather permitting, every other
week into December. Jay concludes, “It’s
hard to find a complaint when you have a
lavender farm.”

County’s Soil Conservation District sur-
veyed and designed the project. It became
a team effort.
Farmers are the key here on the eastern
shore to the effort of restoring and protecting our rivers. Agriculture is the dominant
land use and we hope it will remain so. By
serving as land stewards as well as food
producers, farmers can lead us toward a national environmental restoration. This past
year Talbot County farmers led the state in
participating in the winter cover crop program, an essential tool in agricultural conservation. Cover crops take up excess
fertilizer and hold soil in place preventing
winter erosion. The use of best management practices such as no till farming and
precision fertilization are now widespread.
But community support for such environmental initiatives is also a key. We need to
encourage and support our farmers in this
effort. And we need to acknowledge and
thank them for this contribution. It is often
said that our rivers and bay are suffering
from a thousand cuts. The way back to ensure clean water and vibrant rivers may be
through a thousand bandages. All of us
need to be part of this team effort.

Shore Beaches from Coast to Bay
Ah,
summer,
time to massage our
feet in the sand, dip
our toes in the sea
and relax to the
soothing sounds of
water caressing the
shore. Ah summer,
Bonna L.
time to watch the
Nelson
shorebirds cavorting,
smell the salty sea air, and get away from it
all. Ah summer, time to grab that great
book we have been wanting to read, a comfortable chair and a cool drink and head to
a nearby Atlantic or Chesapeake beach.
We are so lucky. Living on the Eastern
Shore means we don’t have to wait in long
lines on the Bay Bridge to get to the Shore.
We’re already here. The Atlantic Ocean
beaches, the Chesapeake Bay beaches and
Bay tributaries beaches are just a short
drive away.
Maryland and Delaware Beaches
share clean, sparkling sand and rolling surfs
with clear water. Beach towns vary in size,
personality, activities and amenities. The
beaches attract millions of visitors a year
for swimming, surfing, kiting, building
sand castles, fishing, sunbathing, relaxing,
dining and more. There is a beach to match
everyone’s desires. Pick one or two!
On the Atlantic Coast, Maryland offers
Ocean City and Assateague Island, quite
different in nature.
Maryland’s Ocean City, popular with
families, offers miles of ocean and bay
beaches. Additionally, there is a three-mile

Bethany and Fenwick. Each has its own
charm and distinction as well as shops,
restaurants, beach equipment and bike

have amusement parks and nightclubs.
Historic Lewes is quaint little town
with museums, shops and great restaurants.
The beach is rather calm, good for youngsters. Nearby Cape Henlopen State Park,
where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic,
boasts sand dunes, nature trails, biking and
swimming areas.
Rehoboth, a family resort, is a shopping mecca with outlets and boutiques and
more than 100 eateries. There is a mile-long
boardwalk with a small amusement park
and arcades.
Dewey is a hotspot with families enjoying both the Atlantic and Rehoboth Bay
beaches by day and a party crowd hitting
the clubs by night. Popular Bay water
sports include skim boarding, windsurfing,
and catamaran sailing.
Bethany Beach, known as the “Quiet
Resort,” has a small town atmosphere, nice
beaches, a main street with shops, elegant
and casual eateries, small arcades and a
short boardwalk. Visitors enjoy concerts
and festivals at the boardwalk.
Fenwick Island is another small, quiet
beach town close to Ocean City. It boasts
an uncrowded ocean beach and various
shops and restaurants. On the other side of
the highway is Assawoman Bay for jet skiing, boating, fishing and sailing.

Talbot and Dorchester
CASA Seeks
Volunteers
Individuals interested in becoming
volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates for local children who have been
abused, neglected or abandoned are needed
in both Talbot and Dorchester Counties.
CASA volunteers are citizen advocates appointed by the court to help children who
are under court protection due to abuse,
neglect, or abandonment.
Following screening, prospective volunteers attend pre-service training classes
led by CASA staff and local professionals.
After acceptance into the program, a CASA
volunteer, as a sworn officer of the court, is
assigned to work with a child who is in the
foster care system. CASA volunteers take
the time to learn as much as possible about
each child's life by talking with the child,
parents, teachers, relatives, physicians, social workers, attorneys and others. Most
importantly, CASA volunteers get to know
their appointed child, often becoming one
of the most consistent adults in the child’s
life. After assessing the child’s situation
and needs, CASA volunteers provide written reports to the court with recommendations as to what is in the child’s best
interest, seeking a permanent resolution for
each child’s life as quickly and safely as
possible. Research indicates that children
with a CASA volunteer have their needs
identified sooner, and services to meet
those needs are put into place more quickly
than for children without CASA volunteers.
CASA seeks a diverse population of
volunteers to most effectively meet the
needs of its diverse population of children.
Volunteer candidates can be from any background and no special prior experience is
required. Interested individuals, particularly men and members of minority communities, from both Talbot and Dorchester
Counties, are encouraged to contact the
CASA office for more information or to receive an application packet. Applications
are being accepted now for Pre-service
Training, a requirement before one becomes a CASA volunteer, which will take
place in the fall of 2012.
CASA volunteers must be at least 21
years of age and are selected based on their
communication skills, competency, objectivity, and commitment. Individuals interested in volunteering to support Talbot and

Shore Beaches
rant and resort beaches; and more.
Betterton is probably the largest beach
with the most amenities on the list. In the
old days, when the Bay Bridge was just a
dream, we traveled to Betterton Beach on
a steamship leaving from Baltimore. My
parents and grandparents packed a delicious lunch for our day on the beach. Today
Betterton is still visited by families arriving by car or small boat to enjoy their sea
nettle-free water on the upper bay. The family-oriented waterfront park has 300 feet of
swimming beach and a bathhouse.
Matapeake Beach includes a public
beach with views of the Bay Bridge, walking trails, picnic area and a beautiful clubhouse.

all of these wonderful beaches and enjoy!

The Salvation Army Disaster Canteen Prepares
for a Stormy Season
The Salvation Army of the Mid and
Upper Shore announces that its Disaster
Relief Campaign is now in full swing as it
prepares for the approaching season of
storms and severe weather. The organiza-
H A I R
tion is working to stock up on Disaster Canteen supplies and to gain support.
The Salvation Army’s Disaster Canteen, a full-service “kitchen-on-wheels”,
provides aid to people affected by natural

disasters. It has the capacity to prepare and
serve 1,500 meals a day and can be dispatched to serve those who have been
forced to leave their homes.
June 1 marks the official start of the
2012 Atlantic Hurricane Season, and the
AccuWeather.com Long-Range Forecasting Team has predicted that this season will
bring 12 named storms, five named hurricanes, and two major hurricanes.
An indication of a strong stormy season has already been seen this year. Tropical Storm Beryl, the strongest pre-June
tropical cyclone to make landfall in the
United States, formed off the southeast
coast and made landfall near Jacksonville,
Fla. in late May. Tropical Storm Alberto
also formed over the Atlantic Ocean earlier
in May.
“A lot of people don’t think about severe weather on the Eastern Shore until late
spring and early fall, but now is the time to
prepare for the upcoming season,” says

The Caroline County Humane Society Joins Pets for Patriots
Pet Adoption Program for Veterans
Partners with nationwide charity to give shelter dogs and cats a second chance at life with
veterans and service members
The Caroline County Humane Society
has partnered with Pets for Patriots, Inc., a
not-for-profit that connects last-chance
shelter pets with our country's loyal service
men and women, to increase the adoption
of adult and other at-risk homeless pets by
veteran and service members of the United
States military.
In spite of the demonstrated emotional
and physical benefits of companion pets,
more dogs and cats are killed each year
than the populations of Alaska, Delaware,
Montana, North Dakota and Vermont combined. Working with Pets for Patriots, the
Caroline County Humane Society gives
local veterans, service members and their
families the gift of unconditional friendship
and love while providing millions of dogs
and cats a second chance at life.
“For every day a pet is in our shelter, it
costs us $15.00; more if they need extra
medical care,” says Steve Vaughn-Executive Director. “Working with Pets for Patriots, we hope to motivate our local veterans
and service members to give these animals
a loving home. This will help us place more
hard-to-adopt pets with good people who
need or want a companion pet, and save
these innocent animals from becoming permanent shelter residents.”
Individuals are welcome from all
United States armed forces and at any stage

of their careers. Eligible pets must meet one
of three criteria: dog or cat two years or
older, dog over 40 pounds regardless of
age, or a special needs dog or cat.
Joining Pets for Patriots is entirely free
to veterans, though they are responsible for
the Caroline County Humane Society adoption fee. To reduce the chance that these
pets are surrendered, the charity sends a
$150 gift card upon proof of eligible adoption to help with food and other essentials,
and provides access to local veterinary partners who agree to offer ongoing discounted
care.
“Our goal is to help our adoption partners re-home harder-to-place pets that still
have years of love and life to give,” says
Beth Zimmerman, founder and executive
director of Pets for Patriots, "while at the
same time making it more affordable for
military personnel to bring a pet into their
lives. We’re delighted to work with the Caroline County Humane Society to give these
last-chance pets a second chance at life and,
in so doing, to enhance the lives of veterans in the community. Everybody wins.”
The Caroline County Humane Society
quickly saw the potential to find hard-toadopt dogs and cats permanent homes with
service members. “We are able to place
about 900 pets each year,” says Steve
Vaughn, “Through our partnership with
Pets for Patriots, we hope to provide forever homes to even more loving animals
with the many service members and veterans in our area.”
Individuals must first apply through
Pets for Patriots and provide proof of their
military service or honorable discharge.
Approval typically takes one to two business days, after which they can visit the
Caroline County Humane Society for assistance in choosing their new best friend.

11th Annual
Benedictine Chrome
City Ride Going for
$1 Million
For the 11th year, gleaming motorcycles, awesome street rods, classic and custom cars will roar in from all over the
region to the Benedictine School in Ridgely
for the highly anticipated Annual Chrome
City Ride on Sunday, July 29, 2012. The
event will once again benefit children and
adults with disabilities: proceeds will help
with scholarship assistance for needy families as well as help assure the completion
of two new senior care homes now under
construction, vitally necessary as adults
with disabilities reach retirement age. The
previous ten years of Chrome City Rides
have contributed over $932,000 to Benedictine’s cause; the volunteer committee
hopes that this year’s Ride will bring that
total up and over the million-dollar mark.
“Chrome City Ride is an event very
close to my heart,” said Benedictine’s recently retired director, Sister Jeannette
Murray, O.S.B. “Year after year these special friends come and help. Their generosity makes dreams come true, such as my
dream for the homes for our aging individuals. What means even more to us is the
love shown by all these great people,”
added Sister Jeannette, “to have them come
here with their beautiful cars and motorcycles is very special for the kids and all of
us. It is the highlight of our summer.”
Owners of impressive cars and bikes
from all over Maryland and Delaware will
register and gather at five designated locations, then cruise in convoys to the Benedictine School campus. The $25-per-rider
pledge provides each rider with an official
Ride T-shirt, a delicious catered lunch, entertainment (including the return of
“Rockin’ Elvis”), a chance for prizes and
trophies, and a day of fun showing off their
chrome to an appreciative crowd.
Spectators are also welcome, and their
$25 minimum contribution also provides
them with an official Ride T-shirt, catered
lunch and a day of fun. Contributions will
be collected the day of the event; you may
also RSVP by calling 410-634-2292. The
riders and their machines are expected to
arrive on campus around 11:30 AM. For
further information on the 11th Annual
Chrome City Ride, including registration

Autism Diagnosis Doesn’t End College Dreams for One Local Teen
ments, “In our search for the right school
for Kelvin, we explored schools in DC and
most counties in Maryland. We were seeking a school that could offer our son the
best environment to grow socially and academically. We hoped to find a program that
not only provided individualized social and
academic support, but also featured a college preparatory curriculum, an expectation
that college was an option for most (if not
all) members of the student body, and a
peer group which included a significant
proportion of classmates who were also
college-bound.”
As a high school freshman, Kelvin
Longe Thompson of Churchton, MD,
struggled with an autism spectrum disorder
which left him filled with anger and distrust. Through difficult middle school
years in the public school system, Kelvin
had been taunted, ridiculed and misunderstood. As a high functioning student with
learning issues, he had fallen through the
cracks of public school and socially just did
not fit in with his peers there. He feared
that that his next school, like his last school,
would not work out for him either.

Kevin’s family’s journey led to Wye
River Upper School in Wye Mills, MD.
While at the time, college seemed very far
away to Kelvin, he recalls his English
teachers pushing him to think about psychology and philosophy, which began to interest him. He recalls, “I learned to exercise
my critical mind. I love pulling apart humanity and examining what people think
and believe. Thought is one of the greatest
gifts humanity has.”
As teachers were learning about
Kelvin’s interests, his personal love of
anime didn’t go unnoticed. He says, “I also
love fantasy and science fiction and my
teachers let me write about that. Writing
was a safe haven with worlds and characters I could pour myself into.”
Kelvin’s father, Mike Thompson,
comments, “Kelvin was hyper-literate, but
struggled with math. His instructors taught
to his strengths and interests, which was a
departure from the traditional school environment he had been in, and accommodated assignments around his interests to
engage his learning.” He adds, “In addition,
the school size enabled him to take principle roles in the activities going on, helping
him to explore new things.”
In addition to his writing, Kelvin
found definition in music and the arts, as
well as in athletics during high school.
When he started high school, he was overweight and insecure about his appearance,
but through the school’s sports program and
health class was able to lose 90 pounds and

transform his physical appearance. He
played soccer and tennis and improved his
diet. He states, “There had been so much
suffering along the way. I finally feel better
about myself overall.”
Chrissy Aull, executive director of
Wye River Upper School, comments, “I
have seen Kelvin let go of his anger and defensive posture to become a trusting young
man willing to take risks and try new
things. He was the soloist in the school’s
rock band, fullback on the soccer team, and
a leading role in the school play.”
His mother adds, “The personal involvement of the teachers and other staff in
the success of each student exposed Kelvin
to a variety of perspectives and problemsolving skills; gave him the freedom to
make mistakes and learn that he could recover from them; and helped to reinforce
his sense of competence and self-worth. In
addition, he benefited from the school’s use
of technology in all of his courses—as an
organizational aid, as a handwriting tool, as
an instrument fostering creativity in music
and art, and as a research arm.”
Kelvin comments, “I scarcely envisioned that I would wind up where I am
today. I feel like I have fallen into some-

thing bigger and higher than myself. I want
to be a writer who people can cheer for and
can be happy for. I want to make other people happy and be happy in return.”
Kelvin was accepted to each college to
which he applied: Towson University, Salisbury University and the University of
Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). He
plans on attending UMBC in the fall and

has dreams of working in TV animation
one day. But for now, Kelvin’s seemingly
impossible dream of attending college one
day has finally come true.
Kelvin concludes, “I feel very lucky to
have grown during high school – an unexamined life is not worth living. I am comfortable with who I am and I believe I can
make change happen in my future.”

Youth Donates to Pediatric Unit at Memorial Hospital
The Pediatric Unit at Memorial Hospital at Easton was visited by a very special
young lady recently. Instead of gifts for her recent eighth birthday, Hannah
Greene asked for friends and family to donate gift cards that she then used to
purchase games and toys for the playroom on the Pediatric Unit. “I have everything I need so I wanted to give to the children for my birthday,” says Hannah. Pictured from left are Graham Lee, Vice President of Philanthropy for Shore Health,

Mid Shore
Mediation Helps
Manage Anger In
Schools
Mid Shore Community Mediation
Center is offering a new program that is
helping youngsters deal with anger more
appropriately. Working with Choptank Elementary School in Cambridge, the organization recently completed a four-week
anger management class for students.
The class was conducted by Mediation
Center Executive Director Peter Taillie and
AmeriCorps member Kason Washington,
who is serving with the Center as a Conflict
Resolution Counselor. Five fourth-grade
boys participated in the initial class.
Choptank Elementary School Assistant Principal Jon Harper described the students selected for the program as those
“with a lot of potential for growth, but who
were not quite reaching that potential.”
“There is so much going on in kids’
lives that sometimes they react without
thinking,” explained Harper. “This class
gave them tools they can use.”
With personal attention within the
class, the students were able to discuss
what situations made them angry and learn
skills for handling anger in a positive way.
Washington noted that the boys learned to
walk away from confrontations when they
got angry, and then come back and talk it
out once they had a chance to stop and
think. They discovered ways for defusing
arguments before they escalate into fights.
“It worked,” said Washington. Using
what he called “anger math,” each student
gave himself a plus or minus each class according to whether he had been in a fight
that week. By the third and fourth weeks,
all the students were recording plus signs,
meaning no fights.
Harper commended Washington and
Taillie for their compassion and professionalism with the students. “It’s not always easy coming into a school and
working with kids,” he said, “but the students bought into the program right away.”
“They actually left recess early to
come to the class,” added Washington.
Plans are to continue the program at

The Talbot County
Visual Arts Center
Presents
AbstractionsCreating Texture a
Workshop
This workshop will be held July 18th,
19th, 20th, 2012 at the Spitaleri estate. The
cost is $120 for Talbot County Visual Arts
Center members and $150 for nonmembers.
The instructor will be Heidi Clark, a
well-known area artist. Heidi is a self
taught artist who has a deep passion and
endless curiosity for abstract art. She constantly explores different mediums to create
texture and beautiful surfaces.
After spending 28 years as a deputy
sheriff and following rules, she decided to
dedicate her art to breaking rules. She spent
weeks testing each process, testing the
blending of various mediums, to make
them enduring. Her goal is to challenge the
viewer, draw them in and engage their
mind.
Heidi has her own studio and gallery
which is called "abstractions by Heidi-a different perspective!" Her studio is located in
Easton MD.
Heidi's workshop “abstractions-Creating Texture” is about creating texture in
painting. It is for artists who want to step
outside traditional techniques and combine
nontraditional mediums and methods with
traditional mediums. The workshop is
about having fun creating beautiful art.
For more information or questions regarding this workshop please call the Talbot County Visual Arts Center

Mid Shore Mediation Helps Manage Anger in Schools
Choptank Elementary School during the
coming school year and potentially expand
it to the high school level. In addition, if the
five graduates of the recent class are successful in the early weeks, they may be
trained as mentors to pass on their new
skills to younger students.
Harper is excited about offering the
class to more students next year and recognizes the benefits of the training not just to
43
students, but for businesses and the community. “I can see this being used in other
areas,” he said. “There are always anger issues.”
For more information on anger management classes, to make a contribution, or
to volunteer as a mediator, call Mid Shore

THE DIXON
HOUSE
Opening July 19 in St. Michaels
Cinderella is the only Rodgers and
Hammerstein musical written for television
and was broadcast live in 1957 starring
Julie Andrews. It was remade for television
in 1965 starring Leslie Ann Warren and
again in 1997 starring Brandy. Hammerstein was interviewed about the adaptation:
"We want the kids who see it to recognize
the story they know. Children can be very
critical on that score. But, of course, their
parents will be watching too, so we have
tried to humanize the characters without altering the familiar plot structure.”
The production includes beautiful and
comical songs such as “Ten Minutes Ago I
Saw You”, “Impossible; It’s Possible”,
“Stepsisters Lament,” “In My Own Little
Corner,” and “The Prince is Giving a Ball.”
This production of Cinderella is co-directed by Trish Payne and Meg Ingold.
"For me, I enjoy the magic and childlike wonder of stories like Cinderella. I
love a show with one of those "happy ever
after" endings. It's all about the silliness and
great music and having fun with each other
while working on creating a great show
that'll leave the audience smiling. And Meg
is probably one of the few people whose instincts and opinions I value as much as my
own.” says Payne.
The cast is a brilliant blend of local experienced performers and young talent.

God and the Spider
During World War II, a US marine was
separated from his unit on a Pacific island.
The fighting had been intense, and in the
smoke and the crossfire he had lost touch
with his comrades.
Alone in the jungle, he could hear
enemy soldiers coming in his direction.
Scrambling for cover, he found his way up
a high ridge to several small caves in the
rock. Quickly he crawled inside one of the
caves. Although safe for the moment, he realized that once the enemy soldiers looking
for him swept up the ridge, they would
quickly search all the caves and he would
be killed.
As he waited, he prayed, “Lord, if it be
your will, please protect me. Whatever your
will though, I love you and trust you.
Amen.”
After praying, he lay quietly listening
to the enemy begin to draw close. He
thought, “Well, I guess the Lord isn’t going
to help me out of this one.” Then he saw a
spider begin to build a web over the front of
his cave.
As he watched, listening to the enemy
searching for him all the while, the spider
layered strand after strand of web across the
opening of the cave.
“Ahah, he thought. “What I need is a
brick wall and what the Lord has sent me
is a spider web. God does have a sense of
humor.”
As the enemy drew closer he watched
from the darkness of his hideout and could
see them searching one cave after another.
As they came to his, he got ready to make
his last stand. To his amazement, however,
after glancing in the direction of his cave,
they moved on. Suddenly, he realized that
with the spider web over the entrance, his
cave looked as if no one had entered for
quite a while. “Lord, forgive me,” prayed
the young man. “I had forgotten that in you

a spider’s web is stronger than a brick
wall.”
We all face times of great trouble.
When we do, it is so easy to forget the victories that God would work in our lives,
sometimes in the most surprising ways. As
the great leader, Nehemiah, reminded the
people of Israel when they faced the task of
rebuilding Jerusalem, “In God we will have
success!” [Nehemiah 2:20]
Remember: Whatever is happening in
your life, with God, a Mere spider’s web
can become a brick wall of protection. Believe He is with you always. Just speak His
name through Jesus His son, and you will
see His great power and love for you.

Pearly Gates
A man dies and goes to heaven. Of
course, St. Peter meets him at the pearly
gates. St. Peter says, “Here’s how it works.
You need 100 points to make it into heaven.
You tell me all the good things you’ve
done, and I give you a certain number of
points for each item, depending on how
good it was. When you reach 100 points,
you get in.”
“Okay,” the man says, “I was married
to the same woman for 50 years and never
cheated on her, even in my heart.”
“That’s wonderful,” says St. Peter,
“that’s worth three points!”
“Three points?” he says. “Well, I attended church all my life and supported its
ministry with my tithe and service.”
“Terrific!” says St. Peter, “that’s certainly worth a point.”
“One point? Golly. How about this: I
started a soup kitchen in my city and
worked in a shelter for homeless veterans.”
“Fantasic, that’s good for two more
points,” he says.
“TWO POINTS!!” the man cries, “At
this rate the only way I get into heaven is by
the grace of God!”
“Come on in!”

The Stone Cutter
There was once a stone cutter who was
dissatisfied with himself and with his position in life.
One day he passed a wealthy merchant’s house. Through the open gateway,
he saw many fine possessions and important visitors. “How powerful that merchant
must be!” thought the stone cutter. He became very envious and wished that he
could be like the merchant.
To his great surprise, he suddenly became the merchant, enjoying more luxuries
and power than he had ever imagined, but
envied and detested by those less wealthy
than himself. Soon a high official passed
by, carried in a sedan chair, accompanied
by attendants and escorted by soldiers beating gongs. Everyone, no matter how
wealthy, had to bow low before the procession. “How powerful that official is!” he
thought. “I wish that I could be a high official!”
Then he became the high official, carried everywhere in his embroidered sedan
chair, feared and hated by the people all
around. It was a hot summer day, so the official felt very uncomfortable in the sticky
sedan chair. He looked up at the sun. It
shone proudly in the sky, unaffected by his
presence. “How powerful the sun is!” he
thought. “I wish that I could be the sun!”
Then he became the sun, shining
fiercely down on everyone, scorching the
fields, cursed by the farmers and laborers.
But a huge black cloud moved between him
and the earth, so that his light could no
longer shine on everything below. “How
powerful that storm cloud is!” he thought.
“I wish that I could be a cloud!”
Then he became the cloud, flooding
the fields and villages, shouted at by everyone. But soon he found that he was being
pushed away by some great force, and realized that it was the wind. “How powerful
it is!” he thought. “I wish that I could be the
wind!”
Then he became the wind, blowing
tiles off the roofs of houses, uprooting trees,
feared and hated by all below him. But after
a while, he ran up against something that
would not move, no matter how forcefully
he blew against it – a huge, towering rock.
“How powerful that rock is!” he thought.
“I wish that I could be a rock!”
Then he became the rock, more pow-
erful than anything else on earth. But as he
stood there, he heard the sound of a hammer pounding a chisel into the hard surface,
and felt himself being changed. “What
could be more powerful than I, the rock?”
Septic
he thought.
He looked down and saw far below
him the figure of a stone cutter.

Graduates Largest
Class of Veterinary
Assistant Training
Students
Twenty-eight local students recently
graduated from the Chesapeake College
Veterinary Assistant Training program, the
largest graduating class in the program’s
history. Students in the program participate
in over 116 hours of training in order to receive the Veterinary Assistant designation.
At the graduation ceremony, course instructor, Dr. Amy Tanis of the Veterinary
Medical Center in Easton, presented certificates to the students. This year’s graduates include: Kelly Bean, Korin Cooper,
Sarah Eberhard, Janet Eisenhart, Beverly
Estep, Brianna Eutsler, Lauri Farrer, Savanna Green, Olivia Grinnell, Carolyn Leager, Amie Lednum, Katie Lee, Pamela
LeGates, Cathy Lejman, Sandra Marshall,
Linda Middleton, Gerel Nelson, Lisa
Olsen, Jeanne Owens, Shelbi Robinson,
Brittany Simmons, Karen Snowberger,
Denise Taylor, Rebecca Thursby, Ashley

“Students in the Veterinary Assistant
Training program learn a wide variety of
animal and animal care essentials.” said
Marci Leach, Director of the Program at
Chesapeake College. “Some graduates will
continue their studies in the animal care
field while others have learned valuable
skills to take care of their own personal or
farm animals. Graduates of the program
find job opportunities in private veterinary
practices, animal shelters, zoos, farms, laboratories or just about any field that would
require animal knowledge.”
The Veterinary Assistant Training Program is approved and supported by the
Maryland Boards of Veterinary Medical
Association, Veterinary Medical Examiners, and Veterinary Technicians Association. Students attend class one evening each
week and complete clinical hours at private
practices and animal shelters in Talbot, Caroline, Queen Anne’s, Kent and Dorchester
counties.
The next Veterinary Assistant training
program will begin in September, 2012.
