EDITOR’S NOTE
If you follow my editorial each month, then you must have been wondering to yourself, did Molly learn how to roast her own coffee beans? Ahhh a resounding YES is the answer! Roasting my own coffee was one of my goals to achieve this year. As a kid, when visiting Pittsburgh, PA, I was always amazed and enthralled with the large coffee-roasting machine at a tiny coffee/tea supply shop in the Strip District. I loved the old fashioned brown bags that they poured the freshly roasted beans in. They must have had 20 different types of coffees and the place smelled fantastic! Did you know that as recent as the early 1900’s, families roasted their coffee at home? Clearly, I had visions of my house smelling like Viva Espresso or Starbucks. Sadly, the process of roasting coffee smells like something is burning up. I started in kitchen, with my curious husband watching - after setting off the smoke detectors a few times, I moved the personal roasting machine into the garage. Let me tell you, that burning smell – it lingers - like my son’s dirty socks! Smell aside, the process is pretty cool. We start with 4 oz of green coffee beans and put them inside the machine. Pressing start and adjusting the air-flow, we watch through the glass the beans fade from green to yellow to light brown to a dark finish - flying, popping and expanding to almost double in size! After 8 minutes, the beans are finished. We let them cool for a few hours. Jason at Berlin Coffee House says the best aroma is released about 24-48 hours after roasting. My husband really loves his morning coffee now. I have added Chief Coffee Roaster to my list of titles!
Have a wonderful May.

Scenes on the Sho r e Early Morning Sunrises and Locust Blossoms. contributed by Judy E. Edelheit
Soon the native locust trees will have their fragrant blossoms in bloom around May. You will spot these trees along the shorelines, fields, woodlands and along the highway. The blossoms are white flowers resembling drooping clusters of white petals that are pear shaped. This is the time of the year that always brings memories of the spring season to me and the beginning of crabbing season. It also signals the soft crabs are on the shore, the first shedding and reminders of the days when my father James E. Melvin, Sr., known to all the locals in the area as "Hawke" was getting his boat ready to work on the water as a trot-line crabber with his hand-made dip net. My father grew up farming the land with the old wheat thrasher, helping to milk the cows on early mornings. When the cows got up off the ground, he warmed his feet in the spot where they slept. He was the son of a Wye Island farmer. This was back in the
14
M
day when the area that he grew up in was all farm land. He knew every foot path by heart with only 3 farms near Bennett Point and Prospect Bay in Grasonville.

Today there are new waterfront homes built along the shoreline and where the marshes are now back-filled and the many new developments and growth that would be unimaginable to him. My father said there was an old saying that when the tide was low, you could walk across the green grasses at the head of the creeks, as they were so thick back at that time. He crabbed on the Wye River and Green Creek for 75 years. This is the lifestyle that sustained our family for years. Today in memory, my father's name is dedicated on a brick that is part of the walkway and walking path of the Maryland's Watermen's Monument located in the Kent Narrows in Grasonville, Maryland. As a trot-line crabber he raised his family and passed on this proud tradition. My father said it is something that gets in your blood. He worked hard and has seen many sunrises and sunsets in his life and shared the bounty of the bay and the proud heritage of the Chesapeake Bay for our family and to all those who appreciate this treasure on the Eastern Shore. Celebrate the watermen's industry, protect the environment and save the bay! Appreciate the wildlife and enjoy the scenery, the serenity and tranquil settings of farmland and shoreline landscapes. Judy E. Edelheit is a life long resident of Queen Anne's County, born in Queenstown and raised in Grasonville, Maryland.

S
ince 1937, Community Players of Salisbury has continuously produced quality musical, comedy, and drama productions. It is one of the oldest community theater organizations in the Mid-Atlantic region. Community Players takes great pride in both the excellence of its productions and the impact it has had on its audiences over the years. It also assists numerous school and drama programs on the Lower Shore by sharing its sets, costumes, props, and sound and lighting equipment and expertise. Over the past eight months, a lot has been happening with Community Players. After 40+ years in its home on Glen Avenue, in Salisbury, it purchased a building at 5109 Nutters Cross Road. This facility is three times the size of its previous location. After some major renovations, this new space will be used for auditions and rehearsals and to store costumes, props, lights, sound equipment, scenery, etc. This is a major financial undertaking for Players, with the cost of renovations expected to exceed $200,000. If you would like to contribute to this project and become a supporter of the arts on the Lower Shore, please send your tax-exempt donation to P. O. Box 2431, Salisbury, Maryland, 21803, and indicate it’s for the “Building Project,” or contact Players’ president, Tom Robinson, at 410-422-0635, to discuss your patronage. The next meeting of the Players will be held at its new property on Wednesday, May 7, at 6:30 PM. They would love to have you attend, take a tour, ask questions, etc. involvedAwith Community Players 16In the coming year, please consider gettingM Y 2 of0 Salisbury! 1 4

LEGAL CORNER LEGAL CORNER LEGAL CORNER LEGA
“JUST ASK ANN” Dear Ann, I’ve been talking with my next door neighbor about investing in some tax sale property. He says we can get property “dirt cheap” at tax sale. But I’m skeptical about how this works. It seems too good to be true that we can pick houses up just for paying the back taxes. Why would anybody let their house go just for the taxes? Fred Q. Dear Fred, Tax sale properties are “sold” through an auction. Sometimes the auction price is only the past due taxes; but sometimes it is much higher. The high bidder, though, does not actually “buy” the property the day of the tax sale. The high bidder buys a “Certificate of Sale”, paying the past due taxes, and promising to pay the balance at the end of the nec-

M
essary legal procedure. This Certificate of Sale gives the holder the right to eventually file a court action to obtain legal title to the property, but the Certificate of Sale also states that the property sold is subject to redemption. This means that the record owner of the property, or almost anyone else with an interest in the property, can redeem the property (keep the title from being conveyed) simply by paying the required amounts within the time allowed. People don’t usually just let their homes be sold for unpaid taxes. Most property owners redeem. So, for the first four months after you have “bought” a property at tax sale, you cannot do anything except to wait and see if anyone does want to redeem it. If it is redeemed during those first four months, you are entitled to your money back, with statutory interest, but nothing else. After the first four months have passed, you can just begin the legal process required to obtain a Deed for the property. First, you will need a title search. If you are going to have an attorney handle the legal work for you, that attorney will most likely insist on handling the title search, since the information is necessary for the final court process. This might be the first of several unreimbursed expenses. If the title

work is complicated, the attorney’s fees for the title work could be high. But, by state law if the property is redeemed, the most you can collect back is $250.00. Then, there has been a recent change in the requirements for the tax sale foreclosure process that makes it lengthier and more complicated. Notices must be sent both to the record owner of the property and to the holders of current mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering the property before any court action is filed. One must be sent at least two months before and another must be sent at least 30 days before. Maryland Tax-Property Code section 14-833 is very specific about what information must be contained in these notices and how they must be sent. Again, you may incur unreimbursed fees. Under the statute, you are only permitted to collect $500.00 as repayment of attorney’s fees at this point. You may not find an attorney willing to review the title work and prepare and send the notices for just $500.00. If at the end of the first six months no one has redeemed the property, you may then file a Circuit Court Complaint to “foreclose the right of redemption”. The action to foreclose the right of redemption is a complicated legal pleading that must contain specialized information and allegations. Like other Court actions, it must be properly served on all
parties. Anyone who has any interest in the property must be duly notified. All parties have the right to answer and redeem. And again, whatever expenses you have incurred, the amount you are entitled to collect back is limited. If you have been lucky, no one will have redeemed the property yet and no one will have answered the Complaint. Now, finally, if all of the legal work has been properly done, you will get a Court Order foreclosing all rights of redemption. And now, finally, after paying the balance of the purchase price, you can obtain a Deed for your tax-sale property. Fred, I hope this helps. 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.

Feeling Stressed
Try Laughing!
“Humor helps,” says Carol Moore, a Peninsula Regional Medical Center nurse who has taken her show on the road across America, teaching those who are feeling the stress of everyday life how to laugh and lift their burdens. Carol will speak at the Ocean Pines branch of the Worcester County Public Library on Thursday, May 29th, at 7:00 p.m. Her talk, “Handling Stress the Good Humor Way,” is sponsored by the Jesse Klump Memorial Fund and the Worcester County Youth Suicide Awareness and Prevention Program. It is open to the general public and free of charge, and there will be door prizes – “Happy door prizes,” Fund Officer Ron Pilling said. “Carol Moore’s program…is a shot in the arm. A much-needed reminder of the basic things we need to do to make ourselves more resilient to the challenges presented in everyday life. Carol leaves her audience feeling refreshed, re-energized and optimistic,” said Denise Stypinski, Director of Human Relations for the Daily Times. Others report that “Carol kept the audience laughing hysterically for over an hour.” The Klump Fund’s suicide prevention work focuses largely on identifying the

warning signs of mental distress and suicide in time to get the person at risk to professional help. “If there is a common denominator among those who are considering suicide as the only way to end their anguish, it’s depression,” said Pilling. “By asking Carol to speak as part of our prevention programs, we aren’t suggesting that one can laugh away major depressive disorder, but we do know that a bit of humor can help ease everyday blues.” For more information on “Handling Stress the Good Humor Way,” and about the Worcester County Youth Suicide Awareness and Prevention Program, visit www.choosetolivemaryland.org or call 443-982-2716.

PREPARE FOR HEALTH CARE COSTS IN RETIREMENT As you save and invest for retirement, what are your ultimate goals? Do you plan on traveling the world? Purchasing a vacation home? Pursuing your hobbies? People often think and plan for these costs. Yet, too often, many of us overlook what potentially could be a major expense during our retirement years: health care. By preparing for these costs, you can help yourself enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned. Many of us may ignore the impact of health care costs because we just assume Medicare will pay for everything. But that’s not the case. In estimating health care costs during retirement, you may find that $4,000 to $6,000 per year per person for traditional medical expenses is a good starting point, although the amount varies by individual. Furthermore, this figure does not include the costs of long-term care, which can be considerable. To illustrate: The national average for home health aide services is nearly $45,000 per year, and a private room in a nursing home is nearly $84,000 per year, according to a recent survey by Genworth, a financial security company. So what can you do to help cope with these
28
M
costs? Here are a few suggestions: Estimate your costs. Try to estimate what your out-of-pocket health care costs might be, based on your health, your age at retirement, whatever supplemental insurance you may carry and other factors. Know the key dates. Things can change in your life, but try to identify, as closely as possible, the age at which you plan to retire. This will help you spot any coverage gaps before you become eligible for Medicare at age 65. Also, be aware of the seven-month window for enrolling in Medicare, beginning three months before your 65th birthday. Review your insurance options. Medicareapproved insurance companies offer some other parts to Medicare, including Part D, which covers prescription drugs; Medigap, which covers gaps in Parts A and B (in-hospital expenses, doctor services, outpatient care and some preventive services); and Part C (also known as Medicare Advantage, which is designed to replace Parts A, B, Medigap and, potentially, part D). You have several options for Part D, Medigap and Medicare Advantage, each with varying coverage and costs, so

Gluten
What’s a Person To Do?! There is a huge rise in gluten free foods and this is great news for people who are gluten sensitive, because they now have a variety of options. But is gluten the real problem or is it Genetically Modified (GMO) wheat? Gluten is a mixture of two proteins, gliadin and glutenin. The gluten proteins are found in the mature seed of wheat, barley and rye. Close relatives of wheat, such as spelt, triticale, kamut, faro, and einkorn, also contain gluten. Gluten (from Latin gluten, “glue”) gives elasticity to dough, helping it rise and to keep its shape and often gives the final product a chewy texture. Well hello ~ that makes sense! Glue, chewy, stick to your ribs I mean intestines kind of food ~ no wonder we are sensitive to it! If a product contains wheat or GMO wheat it has gluten in it. I

M
don’t think we can put the blame on a GMO when it comes to the rise of gluten sensitivities in humans. I do think we need to take a closer look at all the products that have gluten, added gluten and often hidden gluten in the ingredient list. Who knew we were ingesting so much gluten! I was surprised to find gluten in soy sauces, pickles, salad dressings, chicken broths, malt vinegars, canned soups, seasonings and spice mixes. The bottom line when it comes to gluten is do your part ~ read the label ~ or better yet eat foods that do not require a label such as fresh fruits and vegetables!

Turtle season is here. Warmer temperatures bring our terrestrial turtles out of hibernation and warmer water temperatures bring our sea turtles back into our waters. I’m certainly not a turtle expert by any means but thanks to my career with the Maryland Coastal Bays Program (MCBP) and my volunteer work with the National Aquarium’s Marine Animal Stranding Program (MARP), I have learned a lot about our local turtles through first hand experiences and want to share these lessons to help you help us protect these amazing reptiles. The Maryland reptile mascot is the Diamondback terrapin turtle. Interestingly, little is known about this turtle, which apparently seems to be the case with most of our unique wildlife. Inhabiting the brackish waters in the bays and creeks of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts,
40
M
it is the only turtle in North America found in estuaries (a section of river which meets the ocean). The Diamondback Terrapin gets its name from the diamond like growth rings on the top of their shell. I honestly didn’t know what a terrapin was until I started seeing small heads popping up in areas of our coastal bays. First I thought it was an eel or snake, but later learned that those little

heads belonged to the terrapin. When you see them on land, full-grown terrapins are anywhere from 5 inches to 7.5. The females are the larger of this species. Unfortunately, like most of our native turtles, the terrapin is facing numerous threats, including habitat loss, boat strikes, vehicle strikes and nest predation. Fortunately, there are two threats that you can easily do something about. The simplest step you can take to protect the terrapin is making sure crab pots have a little device called a BRD (By catch reduction device, sometimes referred to as a turtle excluder). Crab pots attract terrapin turtles as they feed on the same food source as crabs. Unfortunately, due to the dome shape of the turtle shell, once the turtle gets into a cage, it can’t get out. Although terrapin feed underwater, they need air. They can’t get out, they drown. Thanks to the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore, MCBP has a program in which citizens are working with vendors to insure that BRD’s are attached to recreational crab pots sold in our area. BRD’s on recreational crab pots is a Maryland requirement and it’s an easy solution to protect our terrapin. The other threat to the terrapin, other turtles as well as all wildlife, is vehicle strikes. Like deer season, the terrapin has a season of road crossing. Late May, and throughout June and July turtles start laying their eggs
on land and hatchlings start to migrate to the water for a safer habitat. Unfortunately, development has diminished safe turtle habitat, which means road crossings. A baby terrapin is the size of a quarter, so obviously it is difficult to spot one crossing the road, but knowledge is the key. When you are driving down coastal roads, be alert. And if you find a baby turtle, which it’s amazing how many people find them, you want to place them in a marshy area, not the ocean. If the legs are not flipper shaped, it’s not an ocean dweller. I’ll never forget the phone call I received a few years ago. Two-dozen or so tiny turtles were found crawling around an Ocean City Springfest tent. Unfortunately, good intended people were picking them up and throwing them into the ocean. Well, they were not sea turtles so those baby terrapins most likely were fish or seagull food. Sadly, approximately 3% of turtle hatchlings make it to adulthood. The Eastern Shore is home to approximately nineteen species and sub species of turtles. You can find a listing of these turtles on the DNR website at http://www.dnr. state.md.us/wildlife/Plants_Wildlife/pdfs/ herpchecklist.pdf. Eastern shore turtles can be broken down into five different groups: Box and water turtles, musk and mud turtles, snapping turtles, softshell turtles and sea turtles. The most common turtle you will stumble upon are the box turtle and the snapping turtle. The box turtle is continued on page 43

the most territorial turtle. Unfortunately a lot of people pick this turtle up and try to take it home as pet. (I know I did this when I was young). These turtles have a strongest homing sense and are the most territorial turtle. Placing it in an area foreign to it will most likely result in its death. Snapping turtles are the other most common turtle that you will most likely encounter. They can grow as large as three feet in diameter and be the most aggressive turtle. They are important aquatic scavengers and, like vultures, are under appreciated for their significant contributions to a healthy environment. Snapping turtles are too large to hide completely in their shell so their defense mechanism is their ability to snap. You don’t want to pick one up if you don’t have to because they have long necks and can reach almost to the back of their top shell. They have a powerful bite and this turtle definitely is not the poster child of slowness, it is amazingly agile, quick and precise. And contrary to popular belief, picking them up by the tail is not a safe method for the turtle’s protection. This has a high chance of injuring the turtle, especially the tail itself and the vertebral column. And getting it to bite
a stick and dragging it can severely scrap the legs and underside of the turtle and allow for deadly infections. The safest way to pick up a common snapping turtle is by holding it by its plastron-the back underside. They are more afraid of you so if you see one in the road, just walking up will most likely prompt it to scurry to the other side. Sometimes a little soft foot nudging of encouragement may be required. You will be very lucky if you encounter a sea turtle. The species of sea turtles found here include the loggerhead, green sea turtle, Kemp’s Ridley, leatherback and Atlantic hawksbill. Sea turtles are fully aquatic and emerge from water only to breed and lay eggs. Sea turtles nests are rare to this area and the hatchings have not been very successful. If you were ever to see a turtle on the beach, the best and more important thing you should do is report it to the Marine Animal Stranding Program by calling 410-373-0083. All species of sea turtles on the Eastern Shore are listed as Federally Threatened or Endangered.

The Skipjack MARTHA LEWIS Will Sail Again… Thanks to a Snow Hill Lumber Company When she was launched in 1955, the skipjack Martha Lewis was destined, in the words of the current owner, the Chesapeake Heritage Conservancy, to last “as long as the waterman” who ordered her. She lasted longer than Ellis Berridge, but after 59 years of sailing, dredging oysters until 1994, then sailing as an educational and excursion boat after that, the years had gotten the better of her. When the original mast was pulled, the bottom planking, much of the decking and the mast itself were rotted beyond repair. Douglas fir was the preferred lumber for skipjack masts, but
48
M
finding one fit for the 63-foot mast on the Martha Lewis is no easy task. Then Ken Pusey, of the Paul W. Jones Lumber Company of Snow Hill, stepped up to save the old boat from the scrap heap. Mr. Pusey located and donated a 75-foot tall loblolly pine, finding and cutting the tree from a farm in Accomack County, Virginia. This is not the lumber company’s first donation to preserve the dwindling fleet of Chesapeake Bay dredge boats. In 2011, the company donated the thick pine boards that were used to replank the bottom of the Rosie Parks, which was recently launched at its new home in the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels. Both skipjacks were built by the legendary Bronza Parks. Parks’s boats were respected for their grace and durability. The last three skipjacks to slide down the ways of his Wingate, Maryland yard in the mid-1950s, The Rosie Parks, Martha Lewis and Lady Katie, are all still afloat. Martha Lewis is in Baltimore being restored, and will shortly be towed to Havre de Grace, where her permanent home will be at the Frank J. Hutchins Park.

Titanium Wrecks Robotics Team
Contributed by Paul Suplee
Titanium Wrecks is the Eastern Shore's newest robotics team. Located in Worcester County, the team is private and as such services kids from grades 7-12 from local public, private and home-school organizations. This is a great advantage to kids who are not in the public school system who would still like to participate in STEM activities. Titanium Wrecks, FRC Team 4945, was
58
M
born from a vision in which kids would not only participate in FIRST Robotics builds and competitions, but would also partake in other engineering challenges throughout the year. In its first year, the club made hovercrafts capable of carrying 200 pounds, sent rockets into the sky, played with food science and worked on many community outreach programs. Team T-Wrecks is partnered with Believe in Tomorrow's Children's House by the Sea and hosts an annual party at Seacrets to help raise money for this amazing, Ocean City-based house. We also have performed safety training for local cub scouts and have volunteered for the FLL (FIRST Lego League, which is a robotics competition for middle schoolers) tournament. The team competed at George Mason University and the University of Maryland College Park in its first year; most rookie

teams can only afford to do one competition since the entry fee is $5,000 but the team had various funding avenues to help them with this. Between the two competitions, the team won Rookie All Star, which qualified them for the World Championships in St. Louis MO at the end of April, Rookie Inspiration Award, another prestigious award for a rookie team, and were Finalists at the
Chesapeake Regional. To make it to the finals is a privilege for any team, but for a rookie team, it is almost unheard of. The team will compete in St. Louis April 23-28 and hopes to make it to the finals. With over 2,900 teams globally, only 400 teams made it to the Big Game, and Titanium Wrecks is excited and proud to have made it this far. Our website is at www.team-t-wrecks. org and we are on Facebook and Twitter as well. While we do have amazing sponsors, they are tapped out as robotics and other STEM activities can be frightfully expensive. If you would like to make a donation, there is a donation page on our site.

CAN QUIT SMOKING!
The Worcester County Health Department is committed to helping smokers make changes that lead to tobacco-free lifestyles. Join one of the FREE smoking cessation group classes available throughout Worcester County. Classes will be held: Berlin Health Center, 9730 Healthway Drive, Berlin Tuesdays from 5-6 p.m., now through June 24, 2014. Pocomoke Health Center, 400-A Walnut Street, Pocomoke Thursdays from 5-6 p.m., now through-June 26, 2014. People can register for the program at these sessions or by calling the Worcester County Health Department at 410-632-0056. Professionally trained instructors help participants create a supportive environment to break the smoking addiction. Each individual learns how to develop a customized plan for quitting. Smoking cessation aids such as CHANTIX, gum, patches and lozenges are available through a voucher program offered to participants. Vouchers are also available to help offset the cost of CHANTIX for individuals meeting specific program requirements. The smoking cessation course consists of seven sessions covering topics such as stress management, weight control, assertive communication, how to develop a quit plan, relapse prevention, and physical activity. Instructors teach a step-by-step method for changing behavior and quitting smoking. A registered dietitian teaches participants how to reduce weight gain when quitting smoking. The group approach uses positive thinking, alternative behaviors, and group support to help participants stop smoking. As part of the course, the participants learn how to identify triggers for relapse and how to develop plans to prevent relapse. The course teaches you how to quit smoking and how to stay quit. You can become a non-smoker! Contributed by Marty Pusey, Director of Prevention Services, Worcester Health Department

Crisfield Heritage Foundation Honors the Ward Brothers… the fathers of decorative decoy carving Crisfield, Maryland, the southernmost corner of Somerset County, Maryland is known for many things. The pristine views of Tangier Sound, a history that dates back to the 1600’s, great crabbing, fishing and beautiful sunsets, to name a few. For those who may not know, this historic working waterman’s community is also home to the wonderful Crisfield Heritage Foundation. CHF has an illustrious heritage of preserving the history of this southernmost community and its surroundings. CHF in turn, along with The Ward Museum of Waterfowl Art in Salisbury, Maryland, are the curators of the legacy of Lem and Steve

M
Ward, the original “Counterfitters in Wildfowl Art”. You see, what Lem and Steve were able to “reproduce” was something that looked just like the ducks that landed on the marshes outside their windows… but were actually only wood! Well, why the big hoopla? Crisfield is the birthplace of Lem and Steve Ward. The brothers were lifelong residents of the solitary marshes that border the area. Born into a life where you made your living from the land and the waters around them, both brothers were trained as barbers by their father to help supplement the family income. However, around 1918, they started carving decoys for the duck hunters that frequented the bay area. You see, hard times just got a little more difficult that year. Lem and Steve lost their father to a boating accident. Now it was essential they work a little harder to put food on the table. Though the brothers knew the way of the marsh and how to survive in it, they were more taken to dreaming than taking the hunting of waterfowl seriously for anything

more than providing food for their table. They were born artists and from this inborn gift has come a major American art form. On May 30 The Crisfield Heritage Museum Foundation honors the Ward Brothers and welcomes visitors to revisit a time in history when the American art form of wooden decoy carving was in its infancy. CHF will be celebrating the legacy of Lem and Steve Ward, considered the fathers of decorative decoy carving. The highlight of the event will be the premier of a fifteen minute film which tells the story of the Ward Brothers. This film was a joint project between CHF and The Ward Museum. The film and exhibit are co-produced by the Crisfield Heritage Foundation and the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art, supported by grants from the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore and the Lower Eastern Shore Heritage Council and the generosity of an anonymous supporter.
In addition to the opening of the Museum and premier of the Ward Brothers film from 5-7 p.m., another CHF property, the original Ward Brothers Workshop on Sackertown Road will be open for tours. Through the diligent efforts of many lower eastern shore decoy carvers, the Ward Workshop has been painstakingly restored and subsequently turned over to The Crisfield Heritage Foundation. The workshop will be open to visitors from 3-5 p.m. where Rich Smoker, a world renowned wildlife carver, will be your host. This is an event open and free to the public.

atti Backer grew up in Berlin where, as a child, she spent lots of time in her Grandparents’ garden, eating raspberries off the vine and listening to what the birds, plants and trees had to say. Inspired by her garden, family, friends, music, food and Wes Anderson movies. She lives with her husband Jason and they are currently, very slowly, renovating a turn of the century, Victorian farmhouse that they share with a giant grey cat named Totoro. Backer's art is a mixture of folk and lowbrow and has been shown in juried art shows and galleries on the Eastern shore of Maryland and Delaware as well as Salt Lake City, Utah; Las Vegas, Nevada; Washington, DC; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Baltimore, Maryland. She attended Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore City, but is primarily self taught.

here are many nonprofits here on the Eastern Shore but Icing Smiles (based out of Ellicott City) is one that takes a whole new angle on making sick children and their families smile. Icing Smiles provides “custom celebration cakes and other treats to families impacted by the critical illness of a child”. As they state on their website, something as simple as a beautiful cake can really take a family’s mind off of impending illness and all

the hardships that come along with caring for a sick child. Celebrating birthdays and having money for things like a cake are a luxury a lot of these families just can’t afford. Icing Smiles makes sure these sick children and their families get to celebrate and “provide a temporary escape from worry”. Volunteers for Icing Smiles are known as “Sugar Angels”. Our very own Susan Patt from Cake Art in downtown Salisbury became a “Sugar Angel” for a deserving family here on Delmarva. She was making a cake for Katie Jo’s birthday which was in November of 2013. Katie Jo had lost a brother, Danny, the year before. Danny had needed 24-hour care and had to undergo many different and difficult surgeries. He was critically ill and considered a miracle baby until he passed during a complicated surgery in August 2012. “The family has been through so much and I felt honored

to be able to do something special for Katie Jo and her family,” Susan commented. “It was such a small thing in comparison, but I know they appreciated it and know there are so many other families going through similar
things. I believe we all need to give back in any way we can.” It doesn’t take a million dollars to be a hero to someone in need. A huge hug goes out to Susan Patt and her staff at Cake Art – demonstrating that you really can make a difference and help others even if you don’t have a lot of money to offer. Susan was able to use her baking and decorating skills to make a difference in a young girl’s life. “I was so happy to find an organization that could use my gifts and talents to serve families that may otherwise not be able to celebrate their children’s birthdays.” If you know of a deserving family or would like to contribute to Icing Smiles in some way, please visit their website at icingsmiles.org.
