...out of the box

Dedicated to folks with visionwho save a landmark, historic building or site,

book a concert, create an event or simply bring people together on a summer day to get outside.

June is the sigh of relief as teachers and students bid one another bon voyage. It is feeling like you are almost on vacation just because it is a gorgeousevening and the neighbors come over for a beverage or two. Flipflops become the footware of choice. The grill is smoking and fresh crisp salads are plopped upon the picnic table. It will be an effort to go to work for the next 3 months. If this were Europe we would hang a sign on the door and go on holiday. But here in America we continue on with a bright wistful smile sneaking a look at the clock. So let’s steal a little of what’s really golden. Time. Walk or bike to work. Go to the corner cafe, or outside into the park for lunch. Leave a bit early/ make it up on a rainy day. And here is a real ticket to elsewhere... Join a community group that shares a passion you have. It could be saving an old heritage site like Handsell (page 38), running, walking or biking in a race to raise money for a cause you care about or taking time to build a silly cardboard boat with the kids and enter it in the Oxford Cardboard Boat Race. My husband John and I have always loved being part of the Somerset County Historic Trust, preserving (and going to fabulous parties) at homes one only dreams about scattered down all those mysterious tree-lined driveways. There are many community groups, each with a valuable focus, meeting, strategizing and figuring out ways to involve the larger com-munity in their cause. Most every event like the Bay Music Festival, OC Arts Alive or the CBM Antique Boat Festival have been nurtured by a small group into a yearly event, now enjoyed by many. Putting on an event takes an insane amount of time and commitment- but oh how wonderful to see your dream realized as the day arrives and the public takes home a bit of what you hoped they might.We are all so busy, the house needs a cleaning or there are netflix movies to watch,but why not make like a june bug, find something juicey and grab on. There are so many things worth preserving, funding, and facilitating on this large 3 state peninsula, get out and go to these great events, or better yet, get involved and keep them in this calendar for years to come. so get on board...

crazy creative family fun

Family Communication & Solving Conflict.Summer is coming… As wonderful as that can be it may increase conflict at home. When we spend more time together boredom, sibling rivalry, even deciding what to do and where to go can create conflict. Positive Communication and Conflict Resolution go hand in hand. It’s noted that miscommunication is the primary reason for conflicts. Often we believe that we have communicated our message very well; however there are many variables of why our message doesn’t come across clearly to the other party. Even with family members we can miss the mark.

There are two main techniques I share families to improve communication which often lends itself to a decrease in conflict.

First, POSITIVE COMMUNICATION is primary if you want to engage the family member or members. You will have to LISTEN. Listening is the most valued skill in positive communication. Most of us do not know how to LISTEN. This really means to give your full attention to the other person (no cell phones, T.V. music, etc). You can ask questions for clarification, but do not interject or interrupt. When it is your turn to talk use I STATEMENTS. I felt/feel hurt when you yell at me because it scares me. It seems simple but it takes blame out of the conversation and focuses on how their actions make you feel. Don’t dig up the past. Keep the focus on the subject, because bringing up the past and old issues usually leads to more conflict. In most cases the “old dirt” is just that and will not be useful. Don’t use words like “always, never, or should”… these will fuel the conflict placing blame on the other person. Secondly, use a simple CONFLICT RESOLUTION model ( www.Peaceworks.com) to help keep your communication positive. Set a guideline for your relationship. 1- Be sure to IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM! You will be surprised that the reason you thought you were not talking to a family member may be different from the other person’s perception. 2- FOCUS ON THAT PROBLEM! Don’t go astray, bringing up the past or recounting a laundry list of problems will only fuel each party with anger. 3- DON’T ATTACK THE PERSON, ATTACK THE PROBLEM! It sounds simple but it’s easy to fall into this trap. Name calling, blaming, put-downs, and threats will only add to the conflict. 4- LISTEN WITH AN OPEN MIND! Zip your lips! Really zip it! This can be one of the most difficult parts of resolving conflict. You could be surprised what you hear, and shed light on how the other person sees the problem. 5- RESPECT THE OTHER PERSON’S FEELINGS! The other person will have different feelings, ideas, concerns and feelings about the conflict. This does not mean you have to agree with them, but you will have to respect them to move forward in your relationship. 6- TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR AC-TIONS! Everyone plays a part in any given situation, what is your part for this situation? What did I do to contribute to this situation? Denying or downplaying your role will only keep the conflict a conflict.

Keep your time together peaceful and meaningful this summer. Positive communication and conflict resolution are the best place to start.

steal this idea....

1) 14 plastic bags contain enough petroleum to drive a car a mile.2. 380 billion plastic bags or wraps are thrown away in America each year.3. Making a paper bag emits 50% more global warming gases than making a plastic bag.4. Paper bags do not biodegrade in landfills due to a lack of oxygen.5. Cities spend up to 17 cents per bag in disposal costs, wasting millions of tax dollars.

Next time you forget something at the store- or need to run a little errand. Do just that and go by foot power. You get to exercise, enjoy the outdoors and even nod to passersbye!I found that I could walk to the Save A Lot in the same amount of time that it takes me to get in the car, sit at the light, go, sit at the next light, go, park and enter the grocery store.Plus at gas prices, I bet I saved a buck or two. Beautiful.

Get a Talbot County Bag at wetland.orgSMART IDEA! Your organization, school or town could design a reuseable shopping bag as both a great fund-raiser and a pro-green community action.Presell the bags to make sure you have the market for them before ordering. Keep the bags in your car or by the back door so you remember to take them with you.Stuff a few in one, so if you do a big grocery shop, you’ll have enough.

Midge Ingersoll, a Trustee of the Nanticoke Historic Preservation Alliance, Inc. is one of an energetic group of people who have united to promote environmental & historic preservation of Handsell. She provides some insight on the Handsell project.What is the value of preserving properties such as Handsell? “The Eastern Shore has lost so many of it’s early dwelling houses. Handsell was one of those rare examples that was literally “uncovered” and discovered under years of ivy growth. It had been boarded up for almost 70 years, and that, along with a tin roof saved the structure from the elements. Inside, we walked into rooms that had not been seen in a lifetime--woodwork with original paint, floors, plaster all intact. The house had never been plumbed or electrified and was in pristine state of preservation, albiet in need of much restoration. Handsell is the remnants of an 18th century Georgian plantation house that was destroyed, leaving just three walls standing. From those walls John Sheehe rebuilt the house to its pres-ent configuration in 1837. Nothing has changed with in it since.”

What is your background?I have a degree in Art with a minor in Art History and special studies in architectural rendering. Specializing in architectural rendering and being an art teacher along with an intense interest in American architecture led me to get into Historic Preservation. I was president of a Historic Society in NJ, where I grew up. In Dorchester County, my husband and I purchased a circa 1750 tidewater frame house 20 years ago and have been renovating it since, living here now full time. (We finally put our money where our mouth is). David Lewis, a local mason and friend asked me to be involved in Handsell, which I readily agreed to.How do you keep the Handsell project moving forward?While the funds are being raised for the restoration of the house, as a board, we are stressing the educational component of Handsell, which includes the Native American story of theChicone Village and the “contact Period” between the English and the natives at the trading post called “Handsell” (earnest money, or the “first money handed at market”) and the Afri-can American story of slavery and farming.Can you speak to the combination of environmental, outdoor recreation, Native American and historic preservation groups for the Nanticoke Jamboree?The “Indiantown”, the environment around Handsell is 1400 acres preserved by various conservation easements and under the care of the Nature Conservancy and others. Handsell itself is in a Historic Preservation Easement. So when a visitor comes to the Nanti-coke River Jamboree, they will not only see a preserved area that is much as it was when the Natives lived here, but they can rest assurred that this area will remain as it is. The Nanticoke Historic Preservation Alliance celebrates the natural AND historic resources of the whole area. Thus, this year’s theme for the Jamboree!

recipesuSING SALAD GREENS:Look for brightly colored crisp leaves that have no signs of browning or sliminess, as these greens perish easily. Refrigerate quickly after purchase without wash-ing. When ready to use, remove leaves from heads (if they grow on heads) and separate. Swish leaves in a bowl of cool water and then wash under running water to remove any dirt and grit. Allow leaves to dry before use, either in a salad spinner or by lying on a towel or paper towel. To protect its integrity, do not cut salad greens; rather tear the leaves into manage-able pieces. Salad greens can be eaten this way, with any assortment of other vegetables, cheeses, meats, and dressings. Salad greens can also be braised or wilted and used in entrees or side dishes.NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION:Lettuce and other salad greens are extremely low calorie, providing less than 10 calories per shredded cup. Dark-colored lettuces generally have more than half a day’s worth of beta-carotene. Green leaf lettuce and romaine are also excellent sources of vitamin K and good sources of vitamin C. Arugula is a good source of vitamin K and folate.

Make a Salad ofmixed greens

STORAGE: Store unwashed leaves wrapped in a lightly damp paper towel, sealed in a plastic bag with the air removed in the refrigerator’s crisper for six to seven days. Water speeds decay and storing the leaves unwashed will keep them fresh lon-ger. Romaine lettuces keep the longest.Yummy to ADD: The Farmer’s Market will be inspirational in June! Beyond basic saladthrow in fresh basil, cilantro, mint or other herbs, edible flowers like day lily, squash blossom, Nasturtiums & Pansies. Seek out young wild fennel, asparagus and turnip, greens.Of course fresh peas, thin slices of zuchini, cucumbers, peppers, tomato, car-rots, fresh beans add crunch. Don’t forget fruits like rasberries, blueberries or straw-berries, these are a real treat with mixed greens in a light vinegrette.

The Black Swallowtail caterpiller shows up in gardens all summer (mainly on parsley). If you want a butterfly garden, you need to accept caterpillers. Yes, they eat your plants, but Car-dinals and Wrens love to feed their babies with caterpillers. We have an anise plant in the garden just so we can watch the caterpillers grow.

Mimosa may be a non native tree, but they pro-vide nectar to many insects and to hummingbirds. We need to feed bees when they do not have our vegetable flowers and fruit flowers.

Mulch is your friend! I hope so anyway, I have invited several busloads of it over, and it has taken residence around my tomato and pepper plants. It looks nice, very tidy so I like it. I dug my evil cutgrass devil ditch 6 inches deep and stuffed it with mulch. This with an elegant trim of

brick may hold off the lawn. (I’ll let you know) As someone with no time for dabbling in a garden that inches bigger every year, I am looking for magic. The weeds will come but perhaps not in a tsunami, and with this little head start maybe my hometeam plants will be able to hold the floor this time.Learn as you go. I do have a few new tricks from the early skirmishes.plan: When you lay out the edge of your garden/ think curves/ as in how the poor sap that mows the front yard can easily allow the lawn-mower wheel to hug that brick trim.prep: Try to cull out weed roots as you dig up and turn your garden over pre-mulch. If weeds do sneak forth, dispatch them.

cheap paint scraper: Costs maybe a buck! Greatto use in cast seed gardens, where weeds and seeds have equal footing. (As a friend of mine calls it an Anar-chy Garden) Slide the flat scraper forward just under the soil to loosen weeds, grab them by the hand full and toss. Wait until weeds and plants are about 2-3 inches tall, so you can identify any friendly plants you’d prefer not to annihilate. This has been a very windy, dry spring. The mulch will help to maintain themoisture in the soil,keep your plants in placeand serves as nature’sinsulating blanket. Many organic types of mulch can improve soil aeration, structure (aggregation of soil particles) and drainage over time as they decompose.

various mulches. To hedge your bets... put down a nice layer of newspaper (no color)or cardboard. Weed-cloth can be an ok weed stop, but it is hard to plant through and weeds will eventually pound their way through and turn it into a matt. Cover with 2-3 inches of mulch. Colored dyed mulches should not be used in vegetable gardens. Natural pine mulch is my choice, has a nice color and is fairly easy to work with. Untreated playground mulch is cheapest, light colored but coarse, making it is best for walkways. Dig down about 5 inches, lay in old carpet upside down and fill “walkway trench with 4-5 inches of mulch. Mulch is nice to walk on and a wheel barrel rolls over it nicely. However, there can be a downside to mulching. If not applied correctly (to correct depth) over mulching can create an environment which can harbor organ-isms capable of causing bark rot. Too deep a layer of organic mulch can also provide an environment which may sup-port a variety of harmful fungi, bacteria and especially harmful insects (termites). Keep wood mulches away from your house foundation/use pea gravel here for good drainage. Avoid frequent watering as mulching results in less of a need. Rake or turn mulch periodically to aerate.Mulches like straw blow away easily and the weeds will break through. Pine needles are great, although very acidic and maybe hard to find.

You can enjoy stepping into a new environment for a night or two, just a few towns over if you choose to stay in one of the many lovely Bed & Breakfasts or small inns sprinkled across our peninsula. Many are in historic buildings situated in lovely settings, in the midst of well maintained gardens or walkable downtowns. Some offer exceptional dining like the stately brick Bartlett Pear Inn in Easton, where chef Jordon Leif Lloyd draws from the local farmers and food crafters to inspire his memorable dishes. Others, like the Whitehaven Hotel offer morning coffee on the wrap around porch where you may view the whim-sical Whitehaven ferry making it’s way forth & back with the aid of a sturdy cable stretched across the Wicomico River. The stunning 1850 Mansion House is an historic waterfront planter’s residence in the village of Public Landing over-looking Chincoteague Bay with Assateague Island in the distance. There one may spend the day simply taking in natural beauty and quiet as an untourist or take a quick trip into whimsical Chincoteague. In Lewes, Delaware, the airey Bluewater House angles to give you “beach” but with a comfortable beauty, and has become a summer tradition for many returning families. the view from Mansion House at Public Landing, MD.

s tay l o ca lStaying in a Bed & Breakfast is the real deal. If you want to truly visit a place, choose to stay in a locally owned trea-sure, whose proud proprietors chief desire is your happiness. They will fill you in on what is worth seeing and doing, while slipping you another fresh muffin smothered in wild honey from the farmer’s market. The bed you have just risen from cozily rested, will be as comfy as the bed you left at home. I always have trouble with the notion of paying serious money fora box room with a plank of a hotel bed, where my only activity is flipping through endless idiotic cable channels until I can fade into a fitfull sleep of elevator bells and other sounds I don’t wish to hear. continued next page...

B&B’s on Delmarva can offer a vacation all by themselves. Sometimes taking a big vacation just isn’t an option.

The Five Gables Inn and Spa is a haven for relaxation, featuring an Aveda Concept Spa, an indoor pool, sauna and steam room. (Plus four pet friendly rooms.) Besides well appointed, homey surroundings, friendly people and interesting setting, B&Bs are always greener than large chain hotels. Many B&B’s employ eco-friendly practices such as energy and water conservation, toxic free-cleaning, recycling, composting, and buying lo-cal/organic. They may offer nice old fashion drinking glasses and ceramic plates, rather than wrapped plastic, plastic cups. Breakfast is usually included in the room fee, ranging from light gourmet fruit & pastries to a full country-style buffet.The Old Brick Inn onTalbot St. in downtown St. Michaels offers afternoon snacks, wine tastings & fine wine for purchase.

The Inn keepers want you to have a great time, enjoy their towns and surrounding countryside. The bottom line with staying local in a B&B, is that there is no place like almost home.So this summer, spend a short time in the car and a long time exploring the beautiful get aways right here.
