EDITOR’S NOTE

This year, we lost a giant rosemary bush to the extreme cold temperature this winter. A few other bushes that we thought had died, finally started coming back to life in mid June. Thankfully the root systems were protected – we just needed a little patience and they just needed water and time. This year, I planted marigolds all around my garden, in memory of my Grandma Rose. Oh how she loved marigolds! I remember pinching the dead blooms to keep her plants and beds beautiful. She showed me how to dry and use the seeds to plant starters during early spring. Great memories of summers spend with her! I was thrilled to discover this year that insects don’t like marigolds and my garden has been naturally protected without having to use sprays. So here we are in July! I keep getting tempted to pull a few green tomatoes off and make fried green tomatoes topped with crabmeat, but Tony urges me to hold off and have patience for them to vine ripen. (Darn it!) Well, I fully expect our garden to explode with tomatoes, string beans, peas and herbs galore! I can’t wait for fresh tomato basil mozzarella salad with aged balsamic vinegar drizzled on top. Maybe some roasted beets on the side. YUM! This month, we have a section on Fireworks and Free Concerts around the shore. We also welcome new feature articles by Marianna Batie and Jamie Walker. We can all learn from one another and live the life we have always dreamed of living! Our cover artist, Erick Sahler, will be at 3rd Friday in Salisbury. Come out and meet him! Supporting local artists and locally owned businesses is key to the vitality of keeping the arts and our way of life alive on Delmarva. Have a fabulous July!

Beach Activities for

he summer is upon which around these parts means; Beach Season! Usually, when going to the beach with your family, the sun, sea, and sand are enough to keep everyone happy. But what about when it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t? There are plenty of activities and crafts you can do at the beach to keep your child entertained. Collecting shells can be fun enough on its own. If you are using them for crafts you can have your children go on a scavenger hunt for the right kinds. If you want to make a snowman Christmas ornament then tell them to find three white flat shells. If you want to make candles when you get home tell them to find shells that are bowl shaped. For a younger child you can collect a few of your own shells. On the bottom write a letter or draw a small icon like a star. Then place them, image down, and play a matching game. A craft that takes some preplanning but

Kd ! i s

Brittney D. Herz

is definitely worth it is to make sand prints. Get some Plaster of Paris at a craft store prior to your beach trip. Once there, have your child step in a mound of wet sand or place their hands in wet sand. Make sure to get at least two to three inches deep. Once the impression is in the sand they can add shells or rocks to it if they want. Mix the plaster per the instructions and pour it into the mold they just created in the sand. Use a plastic knife or spoon to spread out the plaster. It has to sit for about an hour so make sure your children are playing elsewhere while it dries. Once dry, dig up the print by lifting the sand around it. Fingers and toes tend to be fragile! If your child isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the crafty type but you want to bring a little something extra to the beach try this activity. Buy some sticky foam letters; you can get them at the dollar store. Have him/her spell out their name with the letters. Then carefully attach them to the bottom of their sandals, making sure to do

them backwards like they were in a mirror. As you go for a walk on the surf they will see their name appearing behind them. Going to the beach with multiple children can be a task. If they start to get bored or antsy here’s a good and easy game to play. Draw three circles in the sand. An inner one, one around that, and larger one around that.

Designate points for each circle, the smaller ones being more, and have them throw a stone or a shell into the circles. If your kids are a little older, maybe a little more history or science oriented, have them make a sundial. Get twelve stones or shells and place them in a circle like the numbers on a clock. Then search for a tall stick to place right in the center. As the day goes by they watch the “hand” of the dial move to the different numbers. You could also set up a treasure hunt. Bring some loose items and have the children close their eyes. Bury some items in

the sand, hide under towels, and in buckets then let them go scavenge! Building castles and other towers is always a good way to pass the time on the sand. You can also build things that can work as a game too! Bring a ball with you to the beach this summer. Have your child use their bucket to make “pins”. Tada! Beach Bowling. You can always try your hand at building a “sandman” as well. Maybe pack a carrot in your cooler just in case. The important thing is in the summer to spend as much family time together as possible. Try to get involved in whichever activity your children want to do during your days at the beach.

LEGAL CORNER LEGAL CORNER LEGAL CORNER LEGA

“JUST ASK ANN” Dear Ann, My daughter in North Carolina is being put through a horrible divorce. Her husband is just vindictive and the only reason he wants their two kids is so that he doesn’t have to pay any child support. Now I’ve got some sort of official looking paper from his attorney wanting all of my emails with her and her sister and he’s also trying to get all of our Face Book stuff. How is this fair? Maryland Mom Dear Maryland Mom, First, and very importantly, laws are very different state to state. I am not an attorney admitted to practice in North Carolina, and cannot and will not give you any specific information on what is “fair”, or permissible, under North Carolina law. But there is some general information about the legal process and especially the part of litigation called, “discovery” that you,

and just about everybody else, need to be aware of. Discovery is the right of participants in a lawsuit or court procedure to get information that is important to their case. The process may involve interrogatories, which are written questions that must be answered, or requests for production of documents. “Email” and Facebook posts are written communication. Generally, they are considered documents, just like letters sent through the US mail. Unless some privilege applies, they are ‘discoverable”. That means, if the correct legal procedure is used to obtain them, they must be produced to the requesting party. I know that may come as a shock, because most of us consider our emails to be private. But they don’t necessarily remain private at all. Not only that, but you may not even “own” your emails yourself. If, for instance, you are sending emails from your computer at work to your daughter or anyone else, your employer may legally “own” those emails. Facebook, of course, is even less private. In fact, Facebook is almost more in the nature of a publication than a private communication. And what one of the spouses, or the mother, sister or friend of one of the spouses, has posted on Facebook could very well end up as evidence in a family law court. For instance, if child custody is in dispute, one of the determining criteria could be the

NER LEGAL CORNER LEGAL CORNER LEGAL CORNER L

fitness of one or the other of the parents to be a good parent. If “mom” is posting pictures of herself at wild parties obviously intoxicated and with diverse escorts, she has to expect they will come to court to haunt her. If she’s going off on obscenity-laced rants about her soon-to-be ex, those could become adverse evidence against her, too. Or what if she drops the kids off at school and then “checks in” at a local bar next to a motel? Here in Maryland, I advise my clients not to discuss their cases with their relatives or friends at all, not by email, and certainly not on Facebook or other social media. There are many things you probably shouldn’t discuss with your attorney by email, and never on Facebook or similar social media. To retain your attorney-client privilege, you do not want to make public your attorney-client confidences. A related reality we take for granted these days is how much “photography” has changed with technology. Anyone with a good phone can take a picture just about anywhere, without the subject even knowing it. And instantly, that picture can be sent almost anywhere. When you think about it, this completely changes our concepts of privacy and private places. And our fourth amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure are grounded in our reasonable expectations of privacy.

Unfortunately, Maryland Mom, although this gives you some general background about this quickly evolving area of law, it does not really address your specific question. You may need to talk with your daughter’s lawyer. You do need to consult your own lawyers. I would suggest both a North Carolina lawyer about whether the email and Facebook discovery request is valid under North Carolina law and then a Maryland lawyer to find out if the request is enforceable in Maryland. I’m afraid that’s the best guidance I can give you in this predicament.. I hope things turn out well for you and for your daughter. Regards, Ann Ann Shaw is an attorney practicing in Salisbury. She has more than twenty years’ real estate, business law, and bankruptcy law experience. Each month she will address one submitted question of general interest. Responding to any question in print does not create an attorney-client relationship. Attorney-client privilege does not apply to published questions and answers. All information is general information only and is not meant as specific legal advice. For specific legal advice, always consult your own attorney.

CONVERSATION ABOUT FINANCES IS IMPORTANT FOR NEWLYWEDS June is a popular month for weddings. If you’re getting married this month, you no doubt have many exciting details to discuss with your spouse-to-be. But after you get back from the honeymoon, you’ll want to have another discussion — about your finances. It might not sound glamorous, but couples who quickly “get on the same page” regarding their financial situation are actually taking a step that can help them immensely as they build their lives together. As you start talking about your finances, be sure to cover these areas: Separate or joint checking/savings accounts — Some couples create joint checking and savings accounts, others keep everything separate and still others find a middle ground — joint accounts along with smaller, separate accounts. There’s really no one “right” way for everyone, but whichever method you choose, make sure you’re both aware of where your money is, how it can be accessed, and by whom. Debts — Both you and your spouse may be bringing in debts, such as student loans

or credit cards, to the marriage. You don’t necessarily have to do everything possible to get rid of these debts immediately, but you should set up reasonable payment plans that will allow you to lower your overall debt load so you can free up money to invest for the future. Spending and saving — Newlyweds are often surprised to discover how different they are from each other in the area of spending versus saving. You don’t have to try to radically change each other, but you both need to be aware that your spending and saving decisions now have greater consequences than when you were both single. To illustrate: If one of you is more of a spender and is used to running up big credit card bills, these actions can clearly affect both of you. To avoid problems of this type, you will need to communicate clearly with each other Goals — It’s important for married couples to clearly establish their financial goals. Do you want to purchase a house? If so, when? If you’re going to have children, will you want to help them pay for college?

C H IROPR AC TOR orMASSAGE THERAPIST W h e r e S h o u l d Yo u G o ?

Jamie Walker, LMT

re you a committed Chiropractic patient, or are you loyal to your favorite massage therapist? If you are one or the other, you know that your treatment has benefits. However, maybe you aren’t so comfortable with the idea of the treatment you do not receive. But...have you considered that these treatments are BOTH beneficial, and work best when utilized together? If you aren’t a patient of chiropractic, here are some reasons to consider it: first of all, chiropractic isn’t just for those of us who have been in accidents or suffered injuries. Chiropractic care can help alleviate common everyday conditions such as back/neck pain, migraines, sciatica, and even fibromyalgia. A chiropractor manipulates the spine in order to properly align the vertebrae so that the body is able to function at its best. If there is a subluxation, nerves that connect to any part of the body may be compressed, causing

pain or disfunction in that specific body part. This includes organs, joints, and even muscles, as nerves from the spine connect to every part of the body. The chiropractor’s goal, then, is to realign the skeletal system so that the nerves are not compromised, and normal physical feeling and function can resume. A massage therapist, instead, works on the soft tissues of the body. This includes muscles and tissues such as fascia, tendons and ligaments. Our work also directly affects the circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems. Massage relieves muscle tension and stress, anxiety, insomnia, depression symptoms, lowers blood pressure, and can help injuries to heal in less time. By making the body feel better, it helps to relax the brain as well, which is why it has been proven to ease anxiety and insomnia symptoms. So how do the treatments come together? Think of your body: muscles,

bones, joints and nerves all connect and work together to make you move. Muscles protect bones and joints, and hold them in place. If your muscles tighten for extended periods, not only will you feel muscular pain, but they may even pull ribs or vertebrae out of place. If muscles are massaged, however, they are pliable and relaxed. In this way, massage keeps the body from needing frequent chiropractic adjustments. When muscles stay conditioned, they will support the adjustments made for longer, also minimizing the need for adjustments. When you do need an adjustment, however, the chiropractor can more easily adjust you if your muscles are relaxed. For this reason, many chiropractors have massage therapists working in their offices to “warm up” clients before adjustments. Conversely, chiropractic can extend the work of massage therapy. If your bones and joints are aligned properly, your muscles do not have to work as hard to support them. So there you have it: there is no need to choose one or the other when it comes to massage and chiropractic. Think of them as chocolate and peanut butter: both delicious on their own, but when you combine the two, that’s when life gets really sweet!

Chincotea gue Island Vacation Paradise a short drive off Virginia’s Just Eastern Shore lies an island so

stunning that its seven mile length is the vacation destination for more than one million annual visitors, each one of whom arrives to enjoy a taste of Paradise. Chincoteague Island’s natural beauty, coastal charm, and Southern down-home hospitality are what draw them from around the globe to this small place big in romance and tradition. If you decide to take a page from their travel itineraries, you’ll soon understand how easy it is to succumb to the spell of Chincoteague. That same spell has captivated the Chincoteague colony of artists, who do their best to capture the spirit and substance of life on their beloved island in paint, sculpture, glass, metal, and wood. Chincoteague Island can be your stepping stone to the undeveloped wilds of Assateague Island, the 37-mile barrier island to its east which for millennia has protected Chincoteague from the worst of the Atlantic’s legendary gales. Assateague is where you’ll find the world-famous ponies of Chincoteague running free.

By Sam Serio

The Chincoteague ponies, except during Pony Penning Weekend, spend their days happily grazing and sunning in and along the marshes, forests, and beaches of the Chincoteague Island National Wildlife Refuge at the southern end of Assateague. They share their territory the over three hundred different migratory bird species which make Chincoteague and Assateague the best bird-watching haunts on the entire Atlantic Flyway. You won’t understand why the ancient Algonquin Indians named Chincoteague “The Beautiful Land across the Waters” until you’ve witnessed the sun setting across its marshes or stood on the Assateague shore at dawn as the Atlantic waves tumble along the pristine sands. Spend as much time as you like exploring the solitude of Assateague’s protected waterways by kayak, canoe, or nature cruise. Cast your line from a deep sea charter for marlin and other great gamefish, or dig for a supper of legendary Chincoteague “Lil Nik” clams. Step into the Eastern Shore of yesteryear by reserving your accommodations at one of Chinctcoteagues’ exceptional 19th century

bed and breakfasts, one of which was built before the Chincoteague Islanders displayed their characteristic independence by remaining loyal to the Union during the Civil War. Drift off to sleep and awaken again to the gentle whispers of the surf and the island breezes, and start your day’s adventure with a breakfast of mouthwatering Southern delicacies. Take time to mingle with the local artisans and shopkeepers. View the ceiling mural at wood carver Jay Cherrix’ Sistine Shed, as well as his life-size sculpture of a Chincoteague pony foal. Get up close and personal with Chincoteague’s marine life at the Island Aquarium where the touch tank will give you a hands-on introduction to both fish and shellfish. Experience the shellfish in a different way by lunching on clam chowder or crab cakes at one of Chincoteague’s several outstanding seafood restaurants. Follow lunch by crossing to Assateague Island on a rented bike for some wildlife viewing on the Wildlife Refuge’s loops. Put the perfect ending on your day in Paradise by boarding Captain Barry’s champagne evening cruise. You’ll be entertained with the Captain’s encyclopedic knowledge of Chincoteague history and enchanted by the sight of the sun setting on Chincoteague Bay!

ere on the Eastern Shore we understand the importance of small community. Assisting our neighbors in need is just something people on the Eastern Shore do. One business that has been providing services to our community for 30 years now is the Seton Center. To the residents of Princess Anne the Seton Center can literally be a life saver. It started in the late 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with a group of sisters from St. Elizabeth in New Jersey who were looking for a place to help the poor. Thirty years ago Sisters Regina Hudson, Dianne Moore, Cecelia McManus, and Eileen Eager started the Seton Center. Originally the Sisters were all working in different hospitals around New Jersey. After Vatican II the Sisters reevaluated their vocations and what they wanted to do with their lives as far as serving the better good. In 1980 they began working on the Eastern Shore of Virginia helping migrant farm workers. After that they were invited to the Diocese of Wilmington

Brittney D. Herz

which introduced them to the population of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Princess Anne was targeted as a location in desperate need without a lot of charities to help the economically depressed population. Also one of the largest migrant farm worker camps is located in Westover, MD. The Seton Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main goal is to help provide the residents of Somerset County assistance with meeting their basic needs. This can be everything from help with prescriptions to financial coaching to rental assistance to just being there for support. The Sisters place a lot of emphasis on helping people with necessities and if they cannot provide someone with what they need they will make sure to at least listen and guide them to the correct place to go. One of their programs is called The Emergency Food Pantry. This allows residents of Somerset County who are unable to properly provide nutritious foods for their families

the opportunity to gain some foods free of charge. They also have a food share program for those families who meet the income requirements. It provides the family with a free bag of groceries once a month. One of the more popular things the Seton Center is known for in the area is their Thrift Shop. The proceeds go to help the Seton Center to provide these great programs. They have clothing and household goods available for purchase at very low prices. In our area of very low economic growth places like the Seton Center are a necessity. As stressed by the founders of this nonprofit, volunteers are always needed and welcomed at the Seton Center. They also are always in need of donations and supplies as well.

ercis canadensis or Eastern Redbud has many cultivars with beautiful leaf colors, beautiful flower colors and some with unusual structural shapes. A new cultivar found and introduced by Jackson Nursery is Cercis canadensis The Rising Sun™. This small vigorous growing tree reaches a height of 10-12’ and 8-10’ in width and is hardy from USDA zone 5-8. Like all Redbuds, The Rising Sun™ prefers moist but well drains soils, and once the plants are established they are fairly drought tolerant. In the spring the tree branches are covered with pea shaped lavender rose colored flowers that last for almost 2-3 weeks. The true magic of this beautiful specimen plant is seen when the heart

shaped leaves begin to emerge. When the foliage first emerges the newest leaves are a bright tangerine-apricot in color that fade to a soft orange, then to gold to yellow and last to a dark green. New foliage is emerging all spring and throughout summer, giving the tree all the colors at the same time. The new branches grow in a zig-zag pattern and are yellow while the petioles of the leaves are a bright pink. The older branches have smooth bark that is tan with yellow cast. The colors of the leaves and branches are more intense if the plants are located in full sun and the plant thrives in full sun to part shade. In the autumn the leaves turn a soft yellow but the branching of the tree is lovely all winter.

Twilight on the Chesapeake It is twilight on the Chesapeake. All of nature in silent repose Waits for our promised efforts, Struggles for one last breath. Silently she gives so that others may endure Her death for our taking, The silent surrender of a life. Glorious were the summers of her abundance Sails trimmed and nets weighted with the catch As worrisome gulls floated overhead; Children reflected in the shimmer of her tides. When long, hot, patient summer days Give way to winters chill, Her bounty we have taken And our promises we left unfulfilled, It is twilight on the Chesapeake. Those few brief moments Between the last seconds of splendor And the darkness yet to be Urge us to remember Once a life is given It shall cease to be. Peace, Judi Judi Given Eastern Shore Native, poet, artist and cancer survivor.

Death & Taxes Authors and thinkers have long linked the twin specters of death and taxes, alike in their certainty and the foreboding they instill. Although you cannot avoid death or taxes, you can plan for them!

On May 16, Governor O’Malley signed into law two pieces of legislation that impact estate planning in Maryland. The first is an increase to the Maryland estate tax exemption. The second is the Maryland Trust Act, a body of laws relating to trusts that has been ten years in the making. Maryland Estate Tax. The federal government permits taxpayers to leave up to $5.34 million (adjusted annually for inflation) taxfree at death; however, Maryland caps this “exemption amount” at $1 million. Neighboring states and Florida have much more favorable estate tax laws, and Maryland lawmakers were concerned that residents would leave the state to avoid the tax. To avoid this “flight of the wealthy,” Maryland’s estate tax exemption will increase gradually

until it matches the federal estate tax exemption in 2019. The new exemption amount will phase-in as follows: 2015 - $1.5 million 2016 - $2 million 2017 - $3 million 2018 - $4 million 2019 – $5.34 million (adjusted for inflation) Maryland Trust Act. The second piece of legislation signed into law is the Maryland Trust Act (the “Act”). In large part the Act provides more clarity about Maryland’s existing laws on trusts. In addition, the Act makes some important changes. One change is the requirement for a trustee to give notice to the beneficiaries of a trust. The new Act also permits “virtual representation” of a minor by his or her parents, rather than requiring

a minor to obtain an outside guardian for addressing trust matters. Individual trustees may now terminate a trust that holds less than $100,000, if appropriate. These changes can greatly simplify trust administration and lower the costs of having a trust. An important change to Maryland’s trust laws is the ability to name advisers for the purpose of making investment and/or distribution decisions for a trust. For example, a parent may want to name a corporate trustee to manage and invest the trust’s funds, but have a family member decide what funds should be dispensed, and when. The new law permits this segregation of duties, enabling the appropriate allocation of responsibilities.

In my September article, I will explore the hot topic of “gun trusts” and the factors a gun owner should consider when doing estate planning.

As an estate planning attorney, Marianna Batie helps her clients plan for the disposition of their property at death (and the taxes related thereto) every day. In this, her corner of Beach to Bay Times, she sheds some light on these topics in a way that she hopes is helpful to you.

O ne Y ear to

Empowerment She is strong, self-reliant, goal-orientated, self-respecting, and carries herself confidently. Who is that girl? She is a member of the 1 Year to Empowerment Program set to launch in January 2015!

he 1 Year to Empowerment Program is currently being developed by Dr. Samantha Scott and Dr. Adeline Tryon, psychologists at The Child & Family Center, along with a fabulous group of teenage girls from the surrounding areas and young women from Salisbury University. The mission of our program is to empower teenage girls to overcome common challenges they face today, such as cyber-bullying, labeling and stereotyping, setting limits and making good choices. The 1 Year to Empowerment Program, which is set to launch in January 2015, will consist of a diverse group of teenage girls

committed to empowering themselves to live a healthy, happy and balanced lifestyle. Although our initial group will focus upon a subset of teenage girls in the surrounding area, it is our hope that these girls and the support from our community will spark a global social movement and empower girls nationwide! Beginning in January 2015, the girls will meet once per month to engage in activities that focuse on mental and physical wellness and balance, and teaches valuable life lessons that will ultimately promote self-esteem, self-respect, and self-reliance. The commitment of 1 full year is important as it

also promotes dedication and perseverance, two key components of successful goal-setting. In addition, three of our activities will be “Pay-It-Forward” days in which our group will volunteer and give back to the community. Because giving back is so important, our girls will also be encouraged to volunteer throughout the year in various ways within our community. At the culmination of the 1 Year to Empowerment Program, there will be a banquet in which each girl is recognized, sponsors are thanked, and the community is afforded an insider look at what was accomplished in just one year. The 1 Year to Empowerment Program is also unique in that it will include a tremendous amount of community involvement. Specifically, we hope that individuals and organizations in the community will sponsor each one of our girls, for which they will be sent monthly updates and thank you notes from the girl that they sponsor, recognition at our activities and on our advertisements, and invitations to our end of the year banquet where they will meet the girl that they sponsored. For more information about how you, your company, or your daughter can become more involved, please contact Dr. Samantha L. Scott at 410820-5667 or SScott@TryonTherapy.com. Additional sponsorship opportunities will also be available, including supplies, meals during activities, space to engage in certain activities, just to name a few. We look forward to working with you and creating an even stronger sense of community to support these young women on their journey to empowerment!

got S.C.O.B.Y.?! Got what?! Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria and Yeast (S.C.O.B.Y.)! It’s what everyone wants on the kitchen counter right? It is the first ingredient in making Kombucha. Now you’re wondering what Kombucha is…. Kombucha is a lightly effervescent fermented drink of sweetened tea that is used as a functional food. Well that is somewhat how Wikipedia describes it. I would describe it as a fermented sweet tea drink used for good gut health. Kombucha tea can be bought in bottles in most health food stores <insert expensive> or you can make your own <insert fun science project>. We started home brewing Kombucha back in 2006 after receiving a healthy S.C.O.B.Y. from a friend. In the Kombucha brewing world sharing a S.C.O.B.Y. with a friend is better than paying for one. It’s all done in good health and good wishes. The S.C.O.B.Y. is a culture comprising Acetobacter (a genus of acetic acid bacteria) and one or more yeasts. These form a zoogleal mat. This mat is often referred to as the S.C.O.B.Y., fermentation mother or mushroom. This mat was received with written instructions on how to brew the tea, handle the S.C.O.B.Y. and what utensils to use. Always handle the S.C.O.B.Y. as a living culture and protect it from harm. Always wash your hands and rinse them with white

vinegar before touching the S.C.O.B.Y. Never allow metal to come in contact with the S.C.O.B.Y., use glass jars and plastic or wooden utensils. Here are the basic instructions: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add 1 cup of white sugar and bring back to a boil. Then add 5 green or black tea bags (no decaf), steep for 8 minutes, remove tea bags. Put 10 cups of water into a gallon size glass jar (that has been rinsed with a smidge of white vinegar). Add the tea mixture to the water, when water is cooled to room temperature (it thrives in 68° - 85°F) safely add the S.C.O.B.Y. to the mixture. Cover jar with cloth and rubber band and #1 put it in a dark place for 10-14 days. After 10 – 14 days, remove the S.C.O.B.Y. and save #2 a cup of the tea mixture to help kick start a new batch. (Follow the instructions from the beginning for the next batch but #3

put the cup of starter with 9 cups of water.) For the second fermentation period, in two Â˝ gallon glass jars, put in 2 cups of grape juice per jar. Fill with the remainder of the strained (use a plastic fine-mesh strainer) Kombucha tea. Put a tight lid on jars and let sit at room temperature for 3 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 5 days. If a new S.C.O.B.Y. grows during the second fermentation discard it before putting the tea into the refrigerator. Refrigerate and enjoy! Side notes ~ the S.C.O.B.Y. should never have mold on it, if mold appears discard the entire batch. The tea itself should have a sweet-sour smell with a note of vinegar during the fermentation period. The second fermentation period is when the tea will become fizzy. The health benefits are not scientifically

proven. However, it has been reported to help fight some forms of cancer, enhance energy levels, alleviate symptoms of allergies, aid in digestive problems, reduce acid reflux, lower hypertension, clear up candida, help arthritis, and help with chronic fatigue. High in catechins, it has been found to lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol and improve cardiovascular functions. The drink is full of probiotics and promotes good gut health. It has also been linked to serious side effects and deaths, and improper preparation can lead to contamination. Side effects can happen with any substance and that includes something as natural and holistic as Kombucha Tea. Go slowly at first and drink small amounts. Yours in good health, Julie

4th Annual Art in Nature Photo Festival

Into the Fog by Paul Biederman

hotography enthusiasts are invited to show their creative side at the fourth annual Art in Nature Photo Festival, August 8-10 at the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art, Salisbury University. Badlands by Clyde Butcher

Participants may compete in the photo competition in either the professional, amateur or youth divisions and may enter their photographs in any of five categories: Birds, Plants and animals other than birds, Landscape/scenery, Black and white, Macro photography. The competition is only a small part of a weekend loaded with photography-related activities. The festival begins Friday evening with keynote speaker and internationally renowned landscape photographer and environmentalist Clyde Butcher.

To the appreciating eye, Butcher’s dramatic black and white photographs that embody nature, the environment, and iconic landmarks are magical. For more than forty years, Butcher has been preserving on film the untouched areas of natures’ landscape. Through his large format photography, he is able to express with elaborate detail and texture, the distinguished intricacy of each landscape. His photographs explore his personal relationship with the environment and the exquisite beauty and depth of his work

will draw the viewer into that relationship with nature. On Saturday and Sunday, the museum’s lobby turns into a Photography Marketplace, where visitors have the opportunity to shop for fine art photography in addition to other photo products. Lectures, demonstrations, seminars and workshops are offered throughout the weekend, as well. For a complete listing of activities, competition rules and prizes visit www.wardmuseum.org or call 410-742-4988, ext. 120.
