home sweet home July is real summer. We have begun to figure out the wisdom of carrying a mug of morning coffee into the garden before heading into work, rather than sloshing it down your front on the way down the driveway. It is grasping the notion of exiting the office when there is still a nice chunk of day above the horizon. Everyone is far too busy these days. People rattle off the litany of projects pinning them to their desks as if it is just them scrabbling for breath from under the biggest pile. Why are we all running so fast and where are we going? True- I am one of the worst, but trust me, I am focused on closing early and at least working from the front porch when I can. The economy is the devil that drives us forward, but what else? All the electrical gadgets and threads tugging at our frayed sleeves? What about our own slave-driver-selves and the day we pencil in? Has the norm for a “days work” slid up to a day.5 processed in standard day time? Alas I have no answers, but to remember to cut through the garden on your way to the next thing. Take a “sun”day and go to the beach. Jump in the pool at midnight. Invite your neighbors over for croquet and watermelon. Gather on Sunday afternoons with wonderful friends under shade trees with cool drinks and tasty fingerfood. That is the concept of weekend. Summer is the theory of free time between spring and fall. Sunshine, Daydream- Time to celebrate an afternoon at home reading by the window open to a bay breeze. Vacation is wherever you take time to sit. So pull up a chair and take a load off- Dana Simson

Dedicated to: the hard working volunteers and event planners who manage to pull off

the many wonderful festivals across the shore in spite of dwindling sponsorships and budget cuts.

!"#$%&'((! " # $ % " & '

Elmer Ruark, writing in 1938 about Snow Hill, reported that “Herbert Kaufman, a well known writer who formerly spent his summers at Ocean City, said that he had traveled the world over, but he had never found a

street with the atmosphere of Federal Street. The quiet peace and the enticing beauty of this shaded avenue, flanked by broad lawns and masses of flowers, can not be put on paper. . . . The shade trees invite you to lin-ger, and the flower gardens actually smile - as if they were trying to say

“Howdydo.”Summer IS the perfect time

for a leisurely stroll along Snow Hill’s tree-shaded sidewalks, while peek-ing at delightful gardens and flowers along the way. Birds and dragonflies

tease napping cats as wise gardeners seek a shady spot to work. Grab a hat and walking shoes and come to Snow Hill! Relax, enjoy - and don’t be

surprised if the 1938 smile and greeting is repeated in 2010.

Research also shows that regular family meeting/ fun nights increases academic achievement, school attendance, lowers incidents of drug or alcohol use, and promotes a more positive peer group. Family meetings can turn into family fun nights. Rotating the family meeting with a family fun night keeps it interesting. Each member may take turns in choosing the activities or topics of discussion.

ask angela

With our busy schedules; running here and there we often forget to stopand share a moment with our family. Opposite work schedules, coordinating sibling sports events or practices can be stressful and time consuming. Over scheduling has become a real family concern in America. When we don’t have time to connect we lose ourselves, our attachment,concern and basic communication with the very ones we love the most.

One solution, holding family meetings or a family fun night. Why? Research shows that holding regular family meetings reconnects family members, allowing a sense of belonging. It also opens communication, builds concern and cooperation with each other. In addition it’s a time to share, problem solve, negotiate, and build mutual respect, and helps build accountability.

The Lo st Fam i ly Co nnect i o n !

Some suggestions for easy, low to no cost games, activities or outings. 1- A wilderness walk, go for a bike ride.2- Eat dinner together.3- Art night, painting, coloring, noodle art, tie-dying, or collages to name a few. 4- Baking or cooking.5- Board games.6- Pick a Movie Night.7- Camp outside.8- Beach night.9- Charades.10- Scrap Book family photos of trips, holidays, events.

Some family meeting/fun night guidelines:1- Try to pick a time and stick to it. Consistency will build participation and cooperation. 2- Set a time limit. It’s important for everyone to know when meetings start and when they are going to be over. 3- Keep it positive.4- Give each member of the family a chance to offer ideas and share feelings.5- Steer clear of making it a “gripe” session. Facilitate prob-lem solving and model respectful feedback and suggestions.6- Plan meetings or fun night to meet interest and tasks for all age groups.7- Open and close with a group circle, making suggestions and offering reflection.8- Parents are not the only ones in charge. Take turns running the meetings or fun nights.9- Be prepared to try new things and model your willing-ness to be adventurous. 10- Enjoy your time with the family.

Brett did it! I finished 8 minutes after the 8:30:00 time limit, but I did finish the whole course. Everyone says this was the most difficult EagleMan ever, because we were not allowed to wear wet suits, and because it was so hot and humid. The good news is I didn’t get hurt and I did complete the whole course. I’m real happy about that. “

S U M M E R R O A D T R I P S SeafordDELAWAREVisit this small town on its pristine river.

Seaford is home to an exciting history. Settled by the Nanticoke Indians, explored in 1608 by Captain John Smith, Seaford was a town divided during the Civil War, a leader in the

nylon industry, once deemed “Nylon Capital of the World” and now a place “rich in history, focused on the future”. The town of Seaford received its charter and was incorporated on April 6, 1865 with a Councilman-Alderman form of government which

is still in existence today. While many of us may know Seaford by the stretch of Route 13 lined with businesses, just a few miles off the highway, the pace slows when you reach the

wide tree lined streets and beautiful vistas of the Nanticoke River.Downtown doesn’t have as many shops asit used to, but still provides a lovely stroll

with unique businesses to explore.

recipes LimoncelloA nice new friend

turned up at a party with a homemade batch of this! V e r y T A S T Y !

Take the peels off one dozen lemons + 1 lime (that’s the secret!) Remove with a vegetable peeler, or microplane off.(I think the infusion goes much faster with the microplaned little shreds of peel as there’s more surface area exposed to the alcohol;)

Place the peels into an airtight container (I use a large screwtopped jar) and cover with one bottle of 100 proof vodka (I use 100 proof Smirnoff). The higher alcohol level seems to get better extraction from the peels. Place the jar in a safe place (on top of my refrigera-tor works for me!) for at least two weeks, giving it an occasional shake and sniff to check on it. You’ll be able to see the vodka turn-ing bright yellow as it pulls the flavorful oils from the peels. When the peels no longer look colorful and the vodka doesn’t seem to be gaining any more visible color or scent, it’s done. Filter through a coffee filter or cheesecloth into a large bottle or jar and press down to remove all the vodka and oils that you can from the peels. Add a 1:1 simple syrup (I usually start with 2 cups water to two cups sugar, boiled lightly until completely dissolved and syrupy and cooled off) and then thin further with approximately another 750 ml bottle of your favorite regular vodka. If it needs to be cut down or sweetened further, just use filtered or bottled water and more simple syrup. It’s really a matter of taste as to how sweet and/or strong you like it. You can also make “Orangecello” the same way. It’s quite tasty too! Note:

this a drink you have in small bits- or add to seltzer, juices or have as a cordial.

t h e g a r d e n w a r r i o r *lawn range plans

The yard, as boring and redundant as I find it, has secured a big voting block in the

“stealing of my time” department.But it must be kept at bay. Lawns quietly

surround the garden, launching stealth attacks just below the dirt. If you reason with grass,

defining clear boundaries, it can be a complimentary neighbor. But all that mowing-!

At least it is almost like accomplishing work while sleeping- sort of a zen meditation on ever

smaller circles.I have recently engaged the services of a

mowing company with an alternative approach.

Three of Ted & Julia Wycall’s Belted Galaway’s are working diligently to chew the south field down to a tidy carpet. INSPIRATION? -Years ago, passing

through Georgia enroute to the New Orleans Heritage Music Fest, we were delighted and bewildered by miles of neatly trimmed trees over lush fields of manicured

grassland. “It’s cows, lady.”

stated the gas station attendant just before he expelled a rocket stream of tobacco juice, nailing one of those

big southern cockroaches. While it took me a few hours to regain my appetite, I did mentally file the note about the cows. Ted raves on the diversity of our grasses and

thick fescue. We are proud of what we have accom-plished purely by doing nothing. The (cow)boys are

each quite pleasant and very single minded in their task.

One 40-pound bag of synthetic fertilizer contains the fossil-fuel equivalent of approximately 2.5 gallons of

gasoline, and mowing for one hour with a gasoline-pow-ered mower generates the same amount of pollution as driving a car for 20 miles (EPA statistic). To keep lawns green, we apply about 10,000 gallons of water, which leads to fungal diseases and weeds that attract pests, so

we douse our coveted green patches with approximately 67 million pounds a year of synthetic pesticides.

Chemically treated grass, in contrast, has very little life because, over time, the fertilizers and pesticides kill or slow down the helpful bugs along with the bad guys.

Restoring the Bay...one wetland at a time.

Goes NativeHowever the Galaways will not be having lunch and fertilizing our real lawn- this area will be short cropped mechanically. (as is the case in most neighborhoods. Native grasses tend to be easier to maintain, since they are adapted to local conditions. For instance, seashore paspalum, native to the Southeastern U.S. coast, is so salt-tolerant that it can be watered with seawater! Clover is drought tolerant, stays green all winter and converts nitrogen into a form usable by other plants. A lawn that contains about 5 percent clover can create enough usable nitrogen to make fertilizing unnecessary if clippings are left on the lawn to mulch.Cutting grass too short creates stress and weak-ens the plant. Keep the mower blades sharpened and leave clippings on the grass as compost; they recycle nitrogen. Water in the morning so that evaporation is minimal and because leaving grass wet at night encourages fungal diseases. Water should soak six inches or more into the soil to reach the roots. Water only when needed.

Set a cake pan near your sprinkler, and

when it’s roughly full, you’ll have

watered sufficiently. Grow smaller: plant fringe areas in wildflowers,

low ground coverings or a bulb garden.Consider reducing the size of your mowing area by adding wild corridors, native plant gardens,

or outdoor patio rooms..g r e e n l a w n

Wrap the vines from palm around elbow and back again as if you are coiling rope to form a circle. Tuck vine ends and offshoots in so they help to lock the shape in place. Rosemary can always benefit from a little trim, so in shaping your plant, gather the 5 to 6 inch trimmings and begin to place between the coiled grapevines as shown. Keep inserting

Cow on the looseGALAWAY UPDATE: It was bound to happen. Upon returning from a lovely party in Frenchtown, a black and white roadblock appeared in our headlights mid-chew. The other two cows (twins) were still contained and not interested in an adventure. Tex, the lone dog cow, (who Ted said don’t name, but who can resist?), hadn’t gone too far, so we headed back to push the big wooden gate shut at the end of the driveway, and went to bed. The next morning a quick bikeride out and about, found Tex taunting the twins from outside the fenced meadow area. I did follow his hoof prints pattering down the lane where they were lost in a temper tantrum of scuffing at the gate. Trailing hoof prints ( and other signs) his busy night had continued with a visit to our garage, where he pushed the bikes aside making a bee’line to gorge on our secret bucket of “Sweetfeed/ cow candy” for use ONLY should the cow escape. Cows are large and not prone to cooporate, so we opted to wait for professional help. Tex, being smarter than a stick, bolted for a wooded area when he heard the truck engine chugging in.But even a big fat Galaway, full of all the goodies he could stomach, can’t ignore the rattle of “sweet-feed” in the bucket. Tex barreled out of hiding looking to mow down Jeff, who with 3 graceful moves lured that volkswagon back within the fence. “These cowpies,” he calmly advised, “make incredible mulch.” Adventure & cunning all before breakfast & the trees are nicely trimmed!

marshlands:

OOPS:(The oil spill has now expanded to coat 1000s of miles of shore devastating wildlife habitat along with seriously affecting the wider economy of the Gulf states and it’s not over yet. While the evidence of harm to wildlife is still coming in, scientists fear that the worst impacts are being felt deep beneath the surface of the water

-- where whales, dolphins, sea turtles and hundreds of other species up and down the food chain are at risk. You can track the spill as it seeps into ocean currents potentially sweeping it around Florida and up the east coast at response.restoration.noaa.gov.

Yet BP and the oil industry are still pushing to expand their drilling operations into at least 300,000 square miles of our nation’s waters, including areas near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, Outer Banks, Georgia’s Cumberland Island, Florida’s Gulf Coast and other environmentally sensitive coastal areas. Is this a prudent idea?

Could be us.

The convention on Wetlands of International Importance, called the Ramsar Convention, is an intergovernmental treaty that provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise

use of wetlands and their resources.

Negotiated by countries and non-governmental organizations that were con-cerned by the increasing loss and degradation of wetland habitat for migratory

waterbirds, the treaty was adopted in the Iranian city of Ramsar in 1971 and came into force in 1975. It is the only global environmental treaty that deals

with a particular ecosystem, and the Convention’s member countries cover all geographic regions of the planet. r a m s a r . o r g

our rain forest

The Eastern Shore is of immense importance to the ecological health of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed. It is characterized by wetlands, sounds, bays, near-shore islands, creeks and rivers. The marshlands and wetlands play pivotal roles in preventing agricultural nutrient runoff from entering the Bay. Nutrient-enriched water can promote excessive concentrations of algae, which in turn deplete water oxygen levels and, in combination with high sedi-ment levels, cause reductions in underwater grasses in tidal shallows. Under-water grasses are critical habitats for many finfish and shellfish, and they also improve water quality by buffering shorelines from wave action, filtering sedi-ment and absorbing nutrients. The Eastern Shore is also an important resting station on the Atlantic Flyway, attracting huge flocks of migrating waterfowl and shorebirds, making it a birder’s paradise. Flood Control - Wetlands can act as protective natural sponges by capturing, storing, and slowly releasing water over a long period of time, thereby reducing the impact of floods.

Wetlands can also act as buffers by reducing destructive wave energy.

1 acre of wetlands can store about 1.5 million gallons of water!

The education arm CPA- communication/education and public awareness- of the Ramsar Convention promotes local support of each site and helps to publicize their

larger mission internationally. Blackwater (our local Ramsar Site) was taken under the wing of Suzanne Pittenger-Slear, current Chair of U.S. National Ramsar Committee, and President of Environ-mental Concern, of St. Michaels, MD. Other sites were “adopted “ by their nearest

international board member. Ramsar headquarters is based in Gland, Switzerland. At present there are 30 sites with Ramsar status in the United States. A “Threat Task

Force” meets once a year- to settle issues, such as border disputes. Actions may include educational initiatives to explore potential impact to habitate, vegetation

and international implications. Having one set of guidelines levels the playing field and gives equal power to all countries in protecting their wetlands areas.

BAYHEALTH

Make the low area in your yard or a ditch into a water garden by adding water tolerant plants like these: to attract butterflies and songbirds; butterfly bush, cardinal flower, black-eyed susan, seaside goldenrod, swamp-milkweed and bayberry.If you use biodegradable soaps, an outdoor shower or other waste water may be directed through a garden, to filter out toxins. Wetlands can improve water quality through trapping sediment, neutralizing chemicals, and absorbing excess nutrients. Wetlands are often used in wastewater treatment processes.

s t e a l t h i s i d e aWetlands and swamps can remove 98% of the nitrogen and 97% of the phosphorus pollution preventing con-

tamination in the groundwater.

First residents were empowered to step out into their community as both resident and researcher. At pancake breakfasts, community meetings, town commission meetings, and school socials, 60 disposable cameras were dis-tributed to kids, senior citizens, parents and town leaders. Posters and flyers were placed around town, notifying citizens of the process, upcoming events and how to get involved. Residents were asked to take 1/2 of a roll of pictures of things that they were proud of around town and 1/2 of a roll of pictures of things that they would like to see im proved in town.

ESLC + Urban Dialogues + The Town of East New Market encourage the townfolk to grab their cameras to document “the good & the bad” in a collaborative community design initiative, called “place work[s]hop.”

ESLC: Eastern Shore Land Concervancy. Our mission is to preserve and sustain the vibrant communities of the Eastern Shore along with the lands and waters that connect them. For twenty years, ESLC has focused on protecting the rural countryside. To that end, we have preserved nearly 50,000 acres of land through the use of conservation easements. We also have helped emplace strong zoning in these areas to help the region maintain its rural culture, landscape and economy.

“When you consider our Eastern Shore landscape of farms and forests, our towns are the buttons that hold down our rural fabric. These are the places where our land use decisions collectively will likely determine the future of our region.”Amy M. Owsley Deputy Director ESLC

W h a t y o u c a n d o * Call ESLC to place a conservation easement on your land: A conserva-tion easement protects your land forever; as a legal agreement between a landowner and a land conservation organization, such as ESLC, it restricts the type and amount of development on the land. For more information about conservation easements, call 410.827.9756.

* Send us your thoughts on why you care about saving land on the Shore: email or fax to 410.827.5765, attn. Saving Land Campaign or mail to ESLC, c/o Saving Land Campaign, P.O. Box 169, Queenstown, MD 21658.

* Make a tax-deductible contribution: Given the current state fiscal crisis, the ability of various programs to protect land will be severely limited. Therefore, the future of conservation will depend largely upon land conservancies with the resources to act independently and immediately. Membership contributions are vital to our resources!

East New Market was the pilot project for a shore-wide movement.We hope this process will help inspire towns to grow from the inside-out: or, in other words, help them make decisions about their future by consulting the wisdom of their community, and building from strengths and uniqueness of their place.

A 20 year resident of East New Market, she lives in a home from 1742, and one visit to eastnewmarket.us shows you why this town and it’s Mayor love one another!

Why did you decide to run for this office?“ Our town’s older properties were in danger of being compromised. I felt it was of utmost importance to protect the integrity of our Historic District designation. The notion of developing a clear vision and plan for East New Market began to resonate with me. In pursu-ing grant opportunities (with the able asistance of Tourism Director Amanda Fenstermaker) to enlist experts, we became acquainted with Jake Day and the newly initiated ESLC Town Planning program. We were chosen as the first town to participate. Our entire community was involved in this process, Place Work-shop. We feel secure that we now have a “blueprint”, which is meaningful and comprehensive, for the future....

GREEN HOU$Esave money & the environment

be proactive, take a minute to stroll around your home &make some good decisions about how your house does summer.

* A well-maintained cooling system will run more efficiently, use less energy, and lower ener-gy bills, so clean or replace AC filters monthly. Keep both outdoor and indoor air conditioner

coils clean. (Dirt build-up is the single most common cause of poor operating efficiency.) * Shading east and west windows. Close curtains during the day, install awnings on south-

facing windows, plant shade trees or vines. Close doors leading to uncooled parts of your home. With central air, close off vents to unused rooms.

* If a moderate day open your home to fresh air, if a hot one close up tight during the day for less heat/humidity. Ventilate at night naturally with fans.

* Avoid running a dehumidifier with AC on. (increases the cooling load- forcing the air conditioner to work harder.)

* Turn off your computer and monitor when you are done using them; activate the “sleep” feature so the machine powers down when on but not in use for a while. Turn off energy-

using equipment when not in use. * Shift energy-intensive tasks such as laundry and dish washing to off-peak or cooler

temperatures. Do full loads when you run washers, dryers, and dishwashers.

* Switch to cold water washing of laundry in front-loading, energy-efficient washer. SAVE$63 /yr. Keep dryer lint filter clean.

* Get the most energy-efficient air conditioner you can afford. Look for a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) 14 or higher on central systems and the Energy Star label on room

units. Savings will show up on your next electric bill. * Save up to 10 percent a year with a programmable thermostat that automatically adjusts

the temperature by 10 to 15 percent for the hours that the house is unoccupied.

Buy a water heater blanket and keep your water heater insulated. SAVE $40/yr

line dry your clothes SAVE $5 a load.

Simply switching from a hot/warm c ycle to a warm/cold c ycle when washing laundr y can save you 10 cents a load. That adds up when you think about how many loads of laundr y you do a year!

Alternative Energy Opportunity! In an effort to preserve the environment, some Delmarva Power customers are considering

generating their own electricity using “green” (or renewable) resources, such as solar and wind.Delmarva Power offers customers Green Power Connection™. This enables customers to install renewable-powered generators and then sell unused power back to the power grid.

Here’s how it works:On days when you produce more energy than you need, your electric meter runs in reverse,

reflecting the energy you’re sending back to the regional power grid. In cases when you need to draw energy from the grid, your meter runs as it normally would.

Your monthly Delmarva Power bill will include the standard customer charges. However, in the energy supply portion of the bill, you will be charged just for the “net” amount of energy used. That means they first subtract the kilowatt-hours of electricity produced from the amount you

used – resulting in lower energy costs for you.Do your homework, tree lines, sun angle and shade, along with roof position all will have a bearing on how much energy a wind turbine or solar panels will generate. The good news is - the companies that sell alternative power sources are more than happy to figure it out for you.

They will also assist you with state and federal tax incentives to help you purchase a system.more info is available at the following websites:
