MollyMolly Hilligoss, Editor & Chief

I just love the outdoors! Sadly, I have the ‘sweet blood’ or maybe it’s my sweet breath that attracts gnats and mosquitos. Whatever the attraction, for years, I have dreaded the sticky summer heat and the nasty, quarter sized mosquito welts from those stealthy silent insects.

Typically I pick up the Bullfrog sunscreen and bug repellant, but I guess other people

have the same idea and that stuff is just plain hard to find. Then I re-membered back to a day when I lived in Mississippi. (They have mosqui-tos year-round there). One day, I was shopping in Victoria Secrets and a big group of contractors came in and bought almost all of a body mist called ‘Amber Romance.’ They swore that gnats and mosquitos hated the stuff and they didn’t care if it made them smell ‘girly.’ What the heck, I picked up a bottle. Fast forward 5 years and I ran across the bottle in a bin I was cleaning out and told my husband the story. Tony decided to try it out this season and low and behold – no bites.

Let’s be clear, ‘Amber Romance’ on a man is not very manly. Truth be told, I can’t stand it on myself either, but if we can stay bite-free for another month, I am willing to suffer through and wear it outdoors. Actually, I sprayed it on myself this evening, as I sit outside, sun going down, in 85 degree heat. By the way, Amber Romance should work fine for hiking, fishing, kayaking and canoeing. I don’t recommend it for all you hunters though; I think the deer and other game will smell you coming.

Check out page 52 for a treatment for your yard to ward off mosqui-tos and slugs. Hope you like garlic…

Enjoy the last month of summer! Gosh it went by too quickly…

Did you know that The Romans coined the term “dog days of summer,”

believing high temperatures from about

July 3 to August 11 were the doings of Sirius, the dog star, which is the

brightest star in the summer sky.

I am one of those lucky people who discovered my passion for art at an early age. Growing up in Toledo, Ohio, I was one of many students who spent part

of Saturdays in the children’s art classes at the Toledo Museum of Art. For me, these classes were more than painting or drawing, they widened my goals and worldview. Knowing how important these experiences were motivates me still, as an artist and a teacher, and I continue to teach and share my art to honor the teachers who influenced me during my formative years.

Color has always been the main focus of my artistic expression. I think my love of color harkens back to my early exposure to art. I want my work to show the joy of color and light that I discovered as a child. When I paint, I immerse myself in my work and just enjoy the process. Since color is so important to me, I paint outside only when the color is most intense; otherwise, I work in my studio. Color also influences my choice of subject matter. I have been working on painting objects from my childhood, but only if they are fun and colorful. When I paint outside, I pick early morning or late afternoon, as that is when the color is the most intense.

I believe that places can just seem visually right to people. For me, the eastern shore has that special bright light that happens near to water. I used to feel guilty riding my bike and sitting on the beach, but then I decided that I needed to consider it part of the process of making work that reflects the wonderful color and light that summer brings.

I have have an MFA in art from Penn State and a BA in art educaion from Toledo University. I teach drawing at Northampton Community College in Bethlehem PA and have been spending summers at Bethany Beach for 14 years.

From Jean Marx…Take action, have adventures,

and face your fears! These are the leading lines of the mantra of a vivacious lady from Ocean City’s history. At 79 years young, she tells her life story in a book that is as enchanting as it is riv-eting.

She self-proclaims that she has never been shy or one to follow the crowd. Born in 1935 in Bal-timore during the Great De-

pression, she was not born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Behind her affluence today have been her struggles and triumphs that she describes in wondrous detail. Her goal in telling her story is for her grandchildren to really get to know her and to want to live out her mantra.

Enchantment abounds in the book. The courtship and mar-riage proposal from her future husband are shining examples.

I ran into Jean Marx at an Ocean Pines Chamber breakfast and was very enthralled to hear about her current client’s book that Jean is helping her put together. Jean is a writer and our paths seem to keep crossing so I figured there is a reason we keep connecting. Jean also owns a business called Time Flys. I asked her to provide an excerpt from a current project that might paint a picture of how she helps her clients. The client who has requested her name kept private wanted her story told, but not for the world, just for her family. What a unique business right here on Delmarva!

TimeFlys

13

His marriage proposal occurred on October 15, 1954 in Ocean City under a full moon as Hurri-cane Hazel subsided. What girl wouldn’t be swept off her feet?

Compelling moments are in-terspersed as well. At seven years old, she contracted tuberculosis requiring quarantine and repeat-ing second grade. After her mar-riage at age nineteen, she helped run her family’s rooming house business for the next twenty-five years, casting aside her personal feelings to faithfully support the family’s culture. Her abiding love for her family is seen throughout the book.

This charming story, told with flair and sincerity, is a vital con-nection for her grandchildren to appreciate the fullness of their family history and her zest for life.

Jean Marx owns Time Flys, a local business specializing in helping people capture their special memories in print through a variety of venues such as self-publishing.To learn more, please contact her at 443-880-0045 or at [email protected].

“JUST ASK ANN”

For most of our legal history, Maryland had what is known as the “one bite” rule. Any dog was entitled to “one bite” before the owner or anyone else was supposed to know the dog could be dangerous. But Maryland law regarding “dangerous dogs” has changed.

In the nineteen nineties, there were two major Court of Appeals cases that held land-lords responsible when their tenant’s pit bull dogs seriously injured people. In the first case, the dog was named “Trouble”. Trouble was a guard dog at a car repair shop. He got lose in the parking area of the shopping

Hey Ann,

I heard you like dogs. My landlord wants to throw me and my dog out because he’s a pit bull. His name is Buddy and he’s never bit anybody. But my landlord says he has to go or we both go. Can my landlord evict us?

Buddy’s buddy

center where the repair shop was located, and attacked a woman. The Court decided that, because the landlord had actual knowl-edge that Trouble was vicious and did not evict Trouble, the landlord was responsible for the woman’s injuries.

The next pit bull that caused a Court of Appeals case was called “Rampage”. Rampage lived in an apartment. Many of Rampage’s neighbors complained to the building manager that Rampage was dangerous, but Rampage was not evicted. Rampage attacked a child inside his owner’s apartment. The Maryland Court of Appeals held that the building manager’s knowledge that Rampage was dangerous should be “imputed” to the landlord. Again, the land-lord was held liable for the injuries.

In both of those cases, though, the land-lords were held liable because they knew or should have known that the specific pit bulls were likely to attack. But, in 2012, the Mary-land Court of Appeals in a case called Tracey v. Solesky made a new legal rule in Mary-land. The Court held that all pit bulls were inherently dangerous. After that ruling, if any landlord allowed any tenant to keep a pit bull dog on the leased premise, the landlord would be held liable for any injuries inflicted by that dog.

Happily for you and Buddy, though, July 1, 2014, Maryland law changed again. This

change was brought about by a statute enacted by the Maryland State legislature, specifically in response to the Court of Ap-peal’s ruling in Tracey v. Solesky. Now if any dog causes injury to a person, there is a pre-sumption that the owner knew or should have known that the dog could be vicious or dangerous. But the presumption is rebut-table – the owner can bring in evidence to show that the dog had never hurt anybody before. And, as to the landlord, the law now goes back to what it was before 2012: The landlord is only liable for damages if he actu-ally knew the dog was dangerous.

The new Maryland statute also includes another proviso. The owner of a dog that is “at large” is liable for any injuries the dog inflicts, unless the injured person was trespassing, committing a crime, or teasing, tormenting or provoking the dog.

Unfortunately, though, the new July 1 2014 law might not help you and Buddy. Most leases either have a “no pets” provision or specifically state that the tenants cannot keep any pit bulls or other dangerous dogs on the premises. If your landlord has this clause in the lease, he still has the legal right to evict Buddy under the terms of the lease agreement.

Also, lease agreements often contain a provision that the tenant may not do any-thing that would cause the landlord’s insur-

ance premiums to increase. Many insurance carriers do increase their premiums if certain breeds of dogs are kept on the premises. Some insurance companies refuse to even issue insurance if certain breeds of dogs are kept on the premises. Again, if your lease has an “insurance” clause and Buddy’s presence makes the cost of insurance go up, the land-lord may have the legal right to evict Buddy.

Are you quite sure that Buddy is a pit bull? Pit bulls and boxers look very much alike. And most boxers tend to be gentle dogs.

Good luck in finding a good home for you and Buddy,

Ann

Are you ready for this? September is Na-tional Preparedness Month. Sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), National Preparedness Month seeks to educate Americans on preparing for natural disasters and other types of emer-gencies. But you’ll also need to prepare for unexpected events in many other areas of your life — particularly those events related to the financial security of you and your family.

Here are some of the most important of these events, along with possible prepara-tions for them:

Unanticipated early retirement – If you encounter a “downsizing” or other occur-rence that results in the loss of a job, or even the end of a career, before you expected it, would you be able to avoid major disruptions to your lifestyle? To help prepare for such a loss of income, make sure to fully fund your IRA each year. The maximum contribution is $5,500 per year plus an additional $1,000 for those age 50 and older.

Disability – Even a short-term disability can seriously harm your finances — and a long-term disability could prove devastating.

Your employer might offer some form of dis-ability insurance, but it may not be sufficient. So you may need to explore private coverage.

Personal liability – If someone were ever injured on your property or due to some action of yours, you could face legal actions demanding hundreds of thousands of dollars. To help protect yourself, consider adding umbrella liability insurance.

Changing family situation – Changes in your life — marriage, divorce, remar-riage, children, stepchildren — can dras-tically affect your estate plans and the type of legacy you want to leave. To prevent unpleasant surprises for your family, make sure you periodically review beneficiary designations on your investment accounts, such as your IRA and 401(k), and work with your tax and legal advisors to update your estate-planning documents — will, living trust and so on — as needed.

Outliving your money – Once you reach retirement, your greatest concern may be that you’ll outlive your money. To help prevent this from happening, create a sustainable withdrawal strategy — that is, determine how much you can take out

Prepare Yourself for the Unexpected

each year from your investment and retirement accounts, and stick to this amount.

Need for long-term care – You can’t predict whether you will ever need to enter a nursing home or require the assistance of a home health care worker, but one thing is for sure — these services are extremely expensive. Consider this: The national average for a private room in a nursing home is nearly $84,000 per year, according to a recent survey by Genworth, a financial security company. To help prepare for these costs, you may want to consult with a professional financial advisor, who can suggest appropriate solutions.

Untimely death – Your absence could jeopardize your family’s finan-cial security, particularly if you passed away while your children were still at home. To help ensure that your family could remain in the home and that your children could go to college, if they choose, make sure you have ade-quate life insurance.

Your passage through life will be filled with twists and turns, and you can’t always see what lies ahead. But you can ease your journey by preparing yourself for the unexpected.

Long-term care insurance may help protect you and your family.You cherish your loved ones. That’s why it’s so important to help protect them from financial burden if you should require in-home assistance or a nursing home stay.

Edward Jones offers a variety of long-term care insurance policies that may help cover the con-tinually rising costs associated with this type of care. It’s important to know that, generally, health insurance, Medicare and Medicaid may not cover all types of long-term care. Together, we will discuss how a long-term care insurance policy may help protect your savings and provide support for your loved ones.

Long-term care insurance products are underwritten by GENWORTH LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Richmond, VA.

Most adults have experienced sciat-ica: perhaps not always intensely

or for long, but it could also be severe to the point of debilitation, and long-last-ing. There are many treatment options, depending on the cause of the symptoms and severity of the pain. If you or someone you know has issues with sciatica, read on, and find out if therapeutic massage may be the best treatment option!

Sciatica is a common pain that affects the biggest nerve in your body, running from the lower spine down the length of the leg. Sciatic pain usually affects one side of the lower body at a time, and can be felt through the gluteal muscles and down the back of the leg. Some people feel the pain only through the thigh, while others feel it all the way to the ankle. It may be as minimal as a tingling discomfort, or as severe as a sharp pain that keeps the patient from being able to

walk, sit or stand comfortably. The pain often worsens when the sufferer sits or stands for long periods, or walks for long distances. Again, the severity and factors that worsen the pain depend on the cause of the sciatica. It may cause weakness in the leg, and may feel like a burning sen-sation.

The “fix” for sciatica depends on what is causing the pain. One possibility is that, where the nerve exits the spine, it is compressed by your vertebrae. Pregnancy, spondylolisthesis, or spinal subluxations may cause the bones in your spine to put pressure on the nerve roots, sending pain down the sciatic nerve. Chiropractic care may be able to adjust the vertebrae back to their natural placements and relieve the compressed nerve. The compres-sion could also, however, be caused by muscles. When soft tissues are involved, a good massage therapist could be the

answer. As your sciatic nerve exits the lumbar area, it runs through the gluteal muscles, superficial to the gemellus su-perior, deep to the piriformis muscle. (It is basically sandwiched between them.) If the piriformis muscle is too tight, it puts pressure on the sciatic nerve, causing the shooting pain down the leg. Sciatica, then, can be a symptom of piriformis syn-drome. This is a prime example illustrat-ing how sciatica is a symptom of another dysfunction in the body, and not simply a condition of it’s own.

Your body can tell you many things if you listen. Getting headaches and muscle cramps? Your body may want you to drink more water. Are your hair and nails brittle and dry? You may be deficient in import-ant vitamins. Getting pain in your back-side? This may be related to your sciatic nerve, which should alert you that some-thing is out of place in that area. Assess what you spend most of your time doing, such as sitting a lot, or being continuously active. If you find that your sciatic nerve is being squished between tight muscles, do yourself a favor and schedule some time with a Licensed Massage Therapist!

There is something about meeting a business owner for the first time that is extremely exciting. Today I had the privi-lege of meeting Margaret Evans, co-owner of Groundworks Farm Community Supported Agricul-ture (CSA) at her farm in Pitts-ville, MD. Kevin Brown and Mar-garet Evans own and manage the 80-acre operation with the help of an excellent crew of 6 people. What makes their farm unique is the CSA component of the farm. They are growing vege-tables specifically for the fami-lies that buy directly from them. In the summer, families pick up

weekly on Saturdays in Pittsville. (They have other pickups in An-napolis and Alexandria too!)

I have written about CSA Farms before, but never ac-tually walked a farm like I did today. In fact, I was in my ‘pretty shoes’ and a long dress. It didn’t occur to me to wear jeans and

bring my mud boots. Honestly, I don’t know what I was thinking - hindsight, a big mistake! Farming is not for sissies, let me tell you that much. The labor of

and corn. When you get up close and personal with the food you eat, a whole new appreciation overcomes you – at least it did for me.

This is their 2nd summer season and wow, what an op-eration. I have to say, that I have limited experience visiting farms and thankfully, Margaret caught me before I reached for the ELECTRIC fence thinking I would lean on it for the closer look at the cute chickens in the pasture, happily pecking at the ground.

With a combined 15 years of experience in sustainable, di-versified farming, Margaret and Kevin are serious farmers. They are farming with the long-term health of the land and the com-munities supported by that land in mind. Getting their start in New Hampshire and Vermont several years ago, Margaret and Kevin were blessed with the op-portunity to purchase Ground-works Farm’s current and per-manent location in Pittsville, Maryland. The farm’s growing membership base recently led

to the acquisition of another farm in Pittsville, where Ground-works Farm grows most of their bulk-harvested root vegetables, and other storage crops–carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squash, onions, shallots, turnips, beets, daikon and others. The operation now encompasses 60 acres of tillable ground and 20 acres of managed forestland.

While walking through the to-matoes, I asked what their CSA members like the best about their membership and one of the crew members, ironically, named Molly, said that last Sat-urday, one of the members said that he personally had no need to have a garden anymore – not with the excellent quality

The size of the produce share is bigger and it is designed to provide you with most of (if not all) your produce depending on how much produce your family uses. The share is designed to

feed a family or two avid cooks. Many people wonder and ask if there is really that much you can grow and give out in the wintertime and they are usually shocked by the list. Imagine fresh locally grown winter squash, sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, potatoes, parsnips, rad-ishes, turnips and spinach! With their two, 200 foot greenhous-es you can enjoy fresh spinach and other treats all winter long. Pickled green beans, beets, to-matillo salsa, tomato hot sauce and more can be found in the share as well as frozen tomatoes, pesto and maybe even frozen melon. Pasture raised chick-ens provide the Egg shares too! Last year, by October, their pas-ture-raised chicken shares were sold out. Best to give Margaret a call to get on the waiting list.

Groundworks Farm has a summer and winter CSA memberships. Now would be a great time to call them to get on the winter CSA share list. I have a feeling; this farm is going to be extremely success-ful! More information is online at www.ground-worksfarm.com or you can stop by their farm (just call first) at 8284 Gumboro Rd Pittsville MD 21850.

Some native trees can be more trouble than treasure, but the cultivars can be

exceptional. That is the case with the Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) Lace Lady, also known as ‘Twisty Baby™’. ‘Twisty Baby™’ grows 6 to 10 feet tall and 12-15 feet wide with curling, twisting branching and clusters of foliage that cascade downwards, giving the plant the appearance of wisteria. This grafted cultivar continues to produce new terminal growth all summer, creating bright green leaves that twist and curl to show the soft grey underside. The older leaves are a deeper blue green and combined with the new growth, give the tree a multi-tone effect. Fall color is a clear yellow. The leaves are alternate, pinnately com-pound creating a lacy look.

with Ginny‘Twisty Baby™’ can be grown as a standard or as espaliered against a wall where the ar-chitecture of the branches can be highlight-ed. Unlike the parent, the cultivar doesn’t produce the sharp spines on the branches nor does it produce many of the cascading, fragrant white flowers in the spring. Like the parent, ‘Twisty Baby™’ is very drought, heat and salt tolerant, growing in dry to medium well drained soils

The summer season is here and families are looking forward to summer

vacations and fun. It can also be a dangerous time. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) offers the following safety tips.

Water can keep everyone cool in the summer but drowning is an increased danger. Never leave young children alone in or near the pool or body of water, even for a moment. An adult who can swim and perform CPR should always be within arm’s reach. Many people think that “floaties”, water wings, rafts, and other inflatables lessen the risk of drowning. That is not the case; only an approved life jacket is an acceptable floatation device. As a child gets older remind them to never swim alone and always near a lifeguard. Teach children about rip currents. If caught in a rip current, swim parallel to shore until you escape the current, then swim back to shore.

Heat can also affect children. Reduce

the intensity of activities in high heat or humidity. Provide plenty of water or sports drinks. If they feel thirsty, that is a sign to give more fluids. If a child feels dizzy, lightheaded or nauseous, move them to a cool place or shade, give them fluids and keep an eye on them.

Bug safety is also a concern for children. Stings or bites can cause allergic reactions requiring medical attention. Avoid the use of scented soaps or lotions. Some insects are attracted to bright colors or flowery prints in children’s clothing. Apply an insect repellant with no more than 10% to 30% concentration of DEET. DEET is not recommended for infants younger than 2 months old. Avoid applying repellant to a child’s hands or near their mouth. Wash off the repellent when they return indoors.

When USA Today crowned the Abbey Burger Bistro in Baltimore as “Maryland’s Greatest Burger Joint,” the restaurant was catapulted to the top ranking for what was once one of America’s humblest foods. Bobby Flay opened a burger joint the same year, and as you might expect, when a Food Network star makes a burger, it isn’t humble.

Neither are the burgers at the Abbey, now with a location in Ocean City, your mother’s burgers. Diners can choose from a long list

of classic, or not-so-classic burgers like the Baltimore burger (with crab dip), the Santa Fe burger (jalapenos, salsa, guacamole), or the Peanut Butter burger (applewood bacon and creamy peanut butter). For those who cannot make up their minds between, for instance, the Black and Bleu or the Chicken burger, there is a build-it-yourself menu with over 80 options. A mathematically-in-clined patron figured that there are 32,760 possible combinations.

Just the meat vs. non-meat selections are mind-boggling. For omnivores, there are burgers of lamb, beef (several kinds), kangaroo, boar, turkey, tuna and chicken. Vegetarians can choose among fried green tomato, roasted portabella mushroom,

grilled cheese or veggie burgers. Put them on one of six different toasted breads, or for the gluten-free crowd, between lettuce leaves. There are 13 different cheeses and too many toppings to list.

Despite the name, there are non-burg-er choices, too, though they are limited to salads, appetizers and chili. The beer selec-tion, draft and bottled, is impressive, featur-ing local beers as well as Guinness, a nod to Abbey’s boast as being the headquarters of the Maryland Chapter of Arsenal America, the fan club for the Arsenal Football Club of London. Granted, Guinness is not brewed in London, but it’s close.

The veggie burger came to the table with a pile of hand-made fries and a pickle wedge tooth-picked through the pretzel roll. Clearly not beef, the burger itself was soft and golden brown. The lamb burger came cooked exactly as requested. Of course, there are choices about that, too: rare to well done (the latter “NOT RECOM-MENDED” on the Build-a-Burger menu).

Abbey Burger Bistro is at 126th Street, on the bayside, not easy to find from Coastal Highway if you miss the big sign.

Garlic as a

By Molly HilligossI must have sweet blood or sweet breath. Whatever the case, mosquitos love me. They love

my husband even more. So my curiosity was peaked when at a networking meeting this week, the Commercial Representative from Terminix mentioned that they have a treatment for mos-quitos that is largely made up of garlic. Wow! So being the DIY gal that I am, I decided to look it up and do a little researching on my own.

Apparently there is plenty of information online that using garlic can get rid of insects from slugs to mosquitos. The commercial varieties that you can buy have a number of other repel-lent ingredients such as catnip, soy in addition to garlic –due to the varieties of mosquitos that bug us.

While it’s not completely clear why garlic should be an effective natural mosquito repellent, some scientific information exists,

but most is more anecodotal. It would seem that the powerful antibiotic nature of allicin (a chemical released when the garlic is

finely chopped) is offensive to mosquitos. Definitely, slugs try to avoid garlic and in fact die if caught in garlic oils. Perhaps mosquitos have

evolved to avoid garlic. Another possibility is that the strong smell of garlic overwhelms the mosquito’s sense of smell and prevents them from finding their prey (us!).

Either way, my husband can’t wait to spray the yard with a garlic water solution and see what happens!

Furnace Town Living Heritage Museum, near Snow Hill,

Maryland may soon join over 100 sculpture parks in the United States. Sculpture has evolved from realistic marble and bronze depictions of gods, generals and kings to creative new art forms using many materials, colors and techniques. Local and regional sculptors, many without a formal art education are using iron and steel to depict abstract animals and original compositions. Collectors, museums and municipalities are increasingly placing sculpture in prominent locations in response to growing public interest. Art, in all its forms is now rivaling historic site in public visitation and repeat visits. School children, in particular, are responding to three dimensional, colorful sculptures they can touch. The public may be encouraged to create their own sculpture by rearranging found or recycled objects that have once been designed and manufactured for now obsolete functions. Furnace

Town is a visitor’s attraction that has been developing for 45 years, adding buildings, crafts, events and most recently, welcoming dogs, cyclists, wedding and cypress swamp trails. Collectors and sculptors

are invited to loan or donate pieces. Furnace Town is an affiliate of the Artist Blacksmiths Association of North America.

Numerous cast iron and steel sculptures are on display now at Furnace Town, thanks to The John and Martha Graham Collection.

Furnace Town is located on 3816 Old Furnace Road, Snow Hill, MD. Furnace Town is open daily, April – October, from 10am-5pm and Sundays noon – 5pm. General Admission into Furnace Town is $6/adults with dis-counts for children and seniors. For special events and other information, call 410-632-2032.

“Starting in the sixties, skilled welders and machinists on Delmarva began to assemble salvaged metal parts to create abstract birds, animals and structures,” shared Jack Graham. As this art form evolved, they cut, bent and welded rods, sheets and plates to form their sculptures. Jack’s interest in both sculpture (he has an eclectic and extensive collection) and Furnace Town (he carries the title of “Mayor”) led him to develop this project. Several pieces by Henry T. Heller, Tuve Tuvesson, Thomas Presby and Larry Morris will be installed in this initial display.
