EDITOR’S NOTE 6

I received this letter from my friend Carol Levy Ruark. She is a wonderful person and entrepreneur in Cambridge, Maryland with a cute wine bar/gift shop called “A Few of My Favorite Things.” I joined her monthly email newsletter many years ago. Last month, this letter and her heartfelt words replaced the usual ‘wine of the month’ or newest cool item in her store. I went to see Carol and asked her permission to print this as I felt her story should be told as well as the hope that the giveforward.com program offers people in her situation. She agreed so here goes.

My life changed for the worse at the end of 2013 both financially, physically and emotionally, and many friends and family are asking “How’s Carol”, as I’ve not been in the store much and boy do I miss it. I have learned how much I enjoy people stopping by. After a routine Mammogram in October, 2013, I was diagnosed with Stage 2b Breast Cancer, I proceeded to have tests done locally, in Easton, and procedures at Johns Hopkins Hospital (JHH), using our Health Insurance, and later discovered I was not insured. Yikes. At this point I had accumulated $4893.00 in related charges for Mammogram, MRI, Biopsy and CAT Scans in Q4-2013 presumably with Medical Coverage. The bills are now mine.   I was refused further scheduling of treatment and tests and appointments were cancelled, although I was certain this was wrong and had proof of a Health insurance Card, that I had coverage for 2013 and 2014. I later discovered it was a 2012 card, when I had had insurance. In the course of life, I had not noticed a new card being sent from my Health Insurance Provider. I did however, have Coverage beginning in 2014, about one month later, and the opportunity to treat the cancer ended until coverage was in place. Not good.....   I called the Maryland Insurance Commission which referred me to the Maryland Attorney General and my 2014 appointments were rescheduled. Phew; but I lived out 2013 knowing a cancerous tumor

was growing and going untreated within my breast. Totally unacceptable. To date, JHH has provided excellent care and my Health Insurance is covering most of the costs. On July 3rd, after eight weeks of Chemotherapy, I had a double Mastectomy and currently still have drains in my side. My further treatment will include two “inflations” of the implants, four weeks of Radiation and after one year, Breast Reconstruction. Un-realized costs of Co-Pays, hotel stays, mileage, hiring help to keep the Store open and medicines are a continued hardship I did not expect. I cannot run the day to day operations, forcing me to hire people and/or close occasionally, which is adding to the financial and emotional hardship. To date, I have spent $19,997.00 as of July 2014. At the rate I am incurring costs, I forecast I will have spent another $21,046.00 before this is over for a Total of $41,043.00. I now understand what others have been through in the Cancer fight. The hardest thing is admitting I need help. The Store does well and is recovering from debts incurred during the “Great Recession” while I held on to get to the other side. Your continued support has been so meaningful as I was scared the business would Close without me around. So thank you for all your shopping. So I put up a Fund Raising site on www.giveforward.com. If you find in your heart to help you can use this link to access my page: http://gfwd.at/1sBRHdE Thanks so much for being with me over the 11 years I’ve been on Cambridge Mainstreet. All my love, Carol

I hope this article inspires you to take a minute, count your blessings and check out the www.giveforward.com program. You will be amazed and hopefully, if you ever need help, it can be there for you as well. Next time you are in Cambridge, check out Carol’s store. You will be glad you did.

UNA CLIENTS AND STAFF SPEND

A D AY I N O C E A N C I T Y Through the generosity of two local Ocean City businesses, The Sahara Café & Trimpers Amusements, people with developmental disabilities assisted by staff of United Needs & Abilities, enjoyed a day at the beach on Thursday, September 4th. About 5 years ago, Jay Whitmeyer, owner of The Sahara Café on 19th & Baltimore Ave., saw an opportunity to give back to the community and offered a free lunch to every client and staff member of United Needs & Abilities (UNA). This year, sixty-five people from UNA came and enjoyed cheeseburgers, chicken tenders and fries, all prepared by Whitmeyer and his staff. “It feels great to give back to the community,” Whitmeyer said. After lunch, UNA clients and staff walked the OC boardwalk and rode several rides within the Trimpers indoor amusements. Trimpers opened early, donated wristbands and had extra people on hand to assist the UNA staff so that wheelchairs could be lifted onto the carousel. Mike Dyer, CEO of United Needs & Abilities, commented, ‘while we assist individuals with developmental disabilities to become more self-sufficient and integrated into the community, today would not have been possible without the partnerships we have with locally owned businesses like The Sahara Café and Trimpers. We are very grateful. UNA is a nonprofit organization, 501 (C)(3), that enriches the lives of people with developmental disabilities by maximizing their opportunities to live in the community independently and productively. Media inquires: For more information, call 410-5430665 ext.110 or visit www.una1.org.

LEGAL CORNER LEGAL CORNER LEGAL CORNER LEGA

“JUST ASK ANN” Hey Ann, My husband was out of work and we got behind in our mortgage payments. I really didn’t think we were that far behind. We got a first foreclosure notice and I asked my friend who’s in real estate if we should worry. He said it was just preliminary, but we should sell the house. I don’t want to sell my house. But I came home last night and there was this big bunch of papers taped to the door. It’s a thick bunch and sure looks like a lawsuit. Does this mean our lender is taking the house? Betty Dear Betty, First, I’m afraid I can’t tell you what those papers are without actually looking over the papers. For purposes of providing you some direction, though, I am going to assume that you have been served with a foreclosure. Don’t panic. You still have alternatives. Foreclosure on a home in Maryland is now a very complicated process. Depending on what company you make your house payments to, not only Maryland law but also federal regulations may apply. Many mortgage servicers are subject to new federal regulations. Under those regulations, if you are working with your mortgage company to avoid a foreclosure, you have the right to complete that process before any foreclosure sale actually happens.

The paperwork you have been served with should include an application to modify your mortgage and to consider other non-foreclosure alternatives. I suggest you get a legal pad. On the first page, write down your loan number, the property address, and each borrower’s name and social security number. That way, every time you talk to your lender you have this needed information close by and organized. And, every time you talk to your lender, make notes in the legal pad. Include the date and time of the conversation and what was said. You will also be faxing or mailing your lender many documents to support your request for a modification. Every time you send something, send it in the envelope the lender provides, but also send it certified mail, return receipt

requested, Fed-Ex or UPS, so that you have proof the package was received. Write your loan number at the bottom of every single page you send. Locally, Salisbury Neighborhood Housing, Inc. helps homeowners like you who are facing foreclosure. Please do not send thousands of dollars to out-of-state companies that promise you a mortgage modification. Some few homeowners have told me they received actual help from an out-of-state company. Mostly I hear that the homeowner lost the money and sometimes the home. When an owner-occupied residence is being foreclosed on in Maryland, the homeowner has the right to a mortgage mediation before the foreclosure sale can be held. But you must file for this mediation. If the lender has filed a Final Loss Mitigation Affidavit with the court, in the “big bunch” of papers you received, there should be a form to request mediation. If not, you should receive a mediation request form as soon as the Final Loss Mitigation Affidavit is filed. You must fill it out and send it to the court with a check for $50.00. You must also send a copy to the attorney handling the foreclosure and certify to the court that you have sent this copy. The mediation is generally held in a conference room setting. You will be there, along with an attorney or housing counselor if you chose. An attorney representing your lender will be

there. An Administrative Law Judge presides. This is just about your last chance to convince your lender to offer you a mortgage modification or some other alternative to losing your home through foreclosure. Sometimes the final option for a homeowner is to file a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. This is a court approved payment plan that allows you to catch up you past-due payments over as long as a five year period. To explore this option, you really should meet with a qualified bankruptcy attorney. I’m afraid this is as much information as I can give you in this article. There are resources that will help. Good luck. 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.

Protect Your Retirement against Market Volatility As an investor, you’re well aware that, over the short term, the financial markets always move up and down. During your working years, you may feel that you have time to overcome this volatility. And you’d be basing these feelings on actual evidence: the longer the investment period, the greater the tendency of the markets to “smooth out” their performance. But what happens when you retire? Won’t you be more susceptible to market movements? You may not be as vulnerable as you might think. In the first place, given our growing awareness of healthier lifestyles, you could easily spend two, or even three, decades in retirement — so your investment time frame isn’t necessarily going to be that compressed. Nonetheless, it’s still true that time may well be a more important consideration to you during your retirement years, so you may want to be particularly vigilant about taking steps to help smooth out the effects of market volatility. Toward that end, here are a few suggestions: • Allocate your investments among a variety of asset classes. Of course, proper asset allocation is a good investment move at any

age, but when you’re retired, you want to be especially careful that you don’t “over-concentrate” your investment dollars among just a few assets. Spreading your money among a range of vehicles — stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, government securities and so on —can help you avoid taking the full brunt of a downturn that may primarily hit just one type of investment. (Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can help reduce the effects of volatility, it can’t assure a profit or protect against loss.) • Choose investments that have demonstrated solid performance across many market cycles. As you’ve probably heard, “past performance is no guarantee of future results,” and this is true. Nonetheless, you can help improve your outlook by owning quality investments. So when investing n stocks, choose those that have actual earnings and a track record of earnings growth. If you invest in fixed-income vehicles, pick those that are considered “investment grade.” • Don’t make emotional decisions. At various times during your retirement, you will, in all likelihood, witness some sharp drops in

he therapeutic use of stones goes back thousands of years. Pat Mayrhofer, founder of Natures Stones, Inc, explains, “…the Chinese used heated stones more than 2,000 years ago as a means of improving the function of internal organs. Stones were also used for healing work in North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Egypt and India. These traditions included laying stones in patterns on the body, carrying or wearing stones for health and protection, [and] using stones for the diagnosis and treatment of disease…” (For more history on stone massage, check out: www.massagemag.com/News/massage-news. php?id=9100.) The modern use of stones in massage popularized in 1993 when Mary Nelson developed LaStone massage. Since then, similar techniques have circled the globe and become highly demanded in spas and massage offices. Individual therapists utilize different

should be trained professionally to safely use heated stones. Massage stones are generally made of basalt, which is rich in iron. This helps the stones to retain heat. Most stones used are river rocks, polished by time and water, and feel smooth on the skin. They are heated in a device similar to a crock pot, using water and time to heat the stones to a specific temperature. Using the stones to massage creates a deeper pressure (if needed,) and the heat relaxes the muscles and makes them more pliable for therapeutic work. Large placement stones can rest (over linens!) on the sacrum and up the spine to the neck and shoulders, relaxing the core postural muscles while the therapist works on the posterior legs. Smaller stones are used as extensions of the therapist’s hands to work muscles of the legs, feet, and the back, neck and shoulders. Similar work is applied to the front of the body, placing some stones and massaging

with others as the session progresses. Use of heated stones also relaxes the nervous system, and improves circulation. Many people who have this treatment want and need the relaxation that it promises, but there are additional benefits: stones can be great for people who like deeper pressure, but they can also help people who prefer lighter pressure. The heat from the stones helps to naturally loosen the muscles, so pressure can be minimized and still accomplish the necessary therapeutic value. Not only do the stones ease back pain and muscle aches, but they are also great for arthritis, insomnia, stress, anxiety and depression. As a bonus, if you tend to have chilly hands and feet, this therapy is extra-rewarding. (Just think of how great it would feel in the colder months of the year!) Don’t let that keep you from giving it a try during other seasons: I’ve given many summer hot stone treatments, when outside temperatures are still high. Once you’re in the air conditioned massage room, the heat will be just as soothing as ever! For more information on the benefits, contraindications and details of this therapy, give me a call!

For the past 28 years, The Quota Club of Salisbury has brought a fantastic Craft Fair to the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center. Organized and managed solely by Quota Club volunteers, the monies raised from this event supports many community projects throughout Wicomico County. This year, the show is expanding to promote variety and changing the name to Christmas Gifts and Craft Show. With nearly 200 booths and good attendance all monies received will go back into the community. Hello, I am Linda Riehl, co-chair of this years show. Let me tell you a little about our organization and what we do for the community. Quota International was founded in Buffalo, New York by Wanda Frey Joiner in 1919. The first womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service organization in the United States is now represented in fourteen countries around the world. The original focus of service was the hearing impaired and deaf in the community. The Salisbury Chapter was formed in 1935 and was called the Quota Club of the Eastern Shore. Over

O C T O B E R

2 0 1 4

the years our name was changed to Quota International of Salisbury Maryland. In addition to our name change, our focus of service was expanded to include disadvantaged women and children. The Quotarian volunteers are dedicated to providing financial services for the deaf, hard of hearing, and speech impaired individuals as well as disadvantaged women and children. The following are some of the programs in which we are involved: “Cops N Kids” book distribution, reading programs in our elementary schools, and reading “Quota Quiet Corners” throughout the area. We provide clothing, toys, blankets and personal hygiene items through the “Court Kids Program” which serves the children in the foster care system of Wicomico County Department of Social Services. We provide financial support to the Wicomico Audiology Center for the hearing aid bank and monies to purchase hearing aid batteries. In addition, we fund college scholarships to four graduating Wicomico County seniors, plus a two-year scholarship to a student at Wor-Wic Community College. In addition to these programs, we grant financial support to over 20 other community organizations to include Coastal Hospice, the Salvation Army and provide grants for women and children through the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore. So mark your calendars for Oct 25-26th and please come out to support our Christmas Craft & Gift Show and our vendors. The biggest bonus is that you will have most of your holiday shopping done early! Contributed by Linda M. Riehl, Co-Chair of the 28th Annual Christmas Craft & Gift Show.

Eating Healthy T

his time you are going to do it. You are going to eat healthier and loose weight. You have started on this road to healthy eating more than once, and somewhere along the way you turn around and head back to your processed and fast food

safety zone. It’s time to stop treating dieting like a vacation – where you go for a while and then come back “home,” and start treating healthy eating as a final destination; the place you are moving toward – for good! While I’m not personally trying to loose weight, I am actively trying to maintain a healthy weight; a task that is growing more difficult as I age. I am trying to instill healthy eating habits in my children. I am trying to help my husband loose a few pounds. We are all wanting to feel more energetic and fit. This journey is not one that can be accomplished in a day, or a week, or even a month. It may take a year or more to finally be maintaining a healthy eating lifestyle. The good news is that each day you can move closer to your final destination one step at a time. Here are small, but powerful, steps you can take to make sure your journey to healthy eating is a one way ticket. No returning to the safety of the quick and easy and heavily processed meals!

Choose water. Choose water over soda. Choose water over any sweetened beverage. If you don’t like the taste of water add a slice of lemon or lime - a particularly helpful trick to mask the taste of some tap water. If you currently don’t drink much or any water, drink a glass with your lunch or dinner. After several days of doing this, drink a glass with lunch AND dinner. Then start drinking water between meals. Work up to half your body weight in ounces. If you weight 150 pounds, drink 75 ounces of water a day. Yes, you will pee a lot. And many, many toxins will leave your body. If you work out or are in a hot climate, you can drink more water. So just do it! Cut back on sugar. Have you read a food label recently? All too often sugar, in one of its many forms, is listed in the first five ingredients. While many foods do contain natural sugars, many more packaged foods contain added sugar. Cutting back on the amount of foods with added sugar goes a long way. Reach for nuts or raw veggies instead of the pack of cookies. Elim-

inding brightly colored plants that give great form and texture in all four seasons in the shade can be challenging, but the Variegated Japanese Sedge, Carex hachijoensis ‘Evergold’ does fit the bill. Unlike grasses that demand full sun locations, Carex can live happily in full to partial shade and can only tolerate full sun if the soil is kept evenly moist at all times. ‘Evergold’ has a wonderful fountain shape formed by dense weeping layers of arching leaves. The leaves are yellow gold banded with dark green edges that maintain their colors all year long. The plants can grow from 8-18” tall to 12-16” wide and are cold tolerant in USDA zone 6-9. The brown blooms occur in mid spring to early summer. ‘Evergold’ likes an alkaline soil with a pH of 7 or higher, that is moist but well drained and it will not survive in heavy wet soils. Like most Carex, ‘Evergold’ is deer resistant, but can have some minor problems with aphids, rust, smut and leaf spot. Plants should be divided in the early spring to maintain good air circulation and to invigorate the plants. Carex hachijoensis ‘Evergold’ is sometimes listed as Carex oshimensis ‘Evergold’. Carex hachijoensis ‘Evergold’.

Looking for a way to give back to the community this holiday season? Join us for Pack to Give Back and help the Maryland Food Bank provide thousands of holiday meals to hungry families statewide.

Learn more about our sponsor benefits on the attached sheet or by contacting Yvonne Terry at: terry@mdfoodbank.org.

What is Pack to Give Back? Each November, generous local businesses participate in Pack to Give Back, the Maryland Food Bank’s annual holiday meal packing event. This year volunteers will come together to pack 2,100 holiday boxes — the equivalent of more than 8,400 meals — on November 6.

13 G ER 20 D HU N TO EN Maryland Food Bank EC T The

will distribute the holiday boxes to families across the Eastern Shore through its network of soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters and other community organizations.

How does it work? Each sponsorship helps to purchase traditional foods for the boxes — sweet potatoes, mac n’ cheese, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, green beans, and mashed potatoes, to name a few — and, in return, we invite sponsors to help us pack the boxes. Once packed, holiday boxes are paired with turkeys — paid for in part by donations from the Orioles Food & Funds Drive — and distributed to soup kitchens, pantries, and shelters across the state. Throughout the month of November, our partners hold special distributions during which they hand out turkeys and holiday boxes to thousands of families in need. Pack to Give Back is your chance to make it possible for Maryland families to have food for the holidays.

V EG E TA B L E GAR DENING

IT’S NOT OVER AFTER THANKSGIVING Because the Atlantic Ocean moderates winter temperatures and provides greater humidity, Delmarva benefits from a mini-climate that can enable gardeners to continue bringing fresh vegetables from their gardens to their tables throughout the winter. Don’t expect to be topping your January salads with Brandywine tomatoes, but unless the winter is unusually harsh there is every chance that the salad can have a base of fresh greens. Gardeners can follow three guidelines that, if nothing else, will lengthen the growing season and enhance the regular seasonal crop. If you wish to take the winter off, consider planting a cover crop. Cover crops are an economical way to protect the soil from erosion,

reduce nutrient pollution and return unused nutrients to the soil. They protect gardens from wind erosion and help reduce pest populations. Crimson clover is an ideal cover crop. Planted six to eight weeks before the usual first frost, an inch deep, at a rate of about one to two pounds per thousand square feet, it fixes nitrogen to the soil and adds structure. If you cannot till the clover in, then pull it or mow it and add it to your spring compost pile. Leafy greens can survive, even thrive in winter. Cold temperatures actually improve the flavor of kale, collard greens, turnip greens and cabbage. “Redbor” kale adds

O C T O B E R

2 0 1 4

color to the garden and to the table, and Toscano kale can be harvested under a foot of snow. Arugula “Even’ Star” is hardy to about 6°F, and “Bloomsdale” spinach can tolerate even lower temperatures. Planted in November, this spinach produces early spring harvests. “Winter Density” lettuce will do well all winter, but more so if planted under seasonal protective row covers. “Champion” collards, tatsoi (A dark green Asian salad green that has a spoon like shape, a pleasant and sweet aroma, a mild mustard-like flavor, similar to bok choi), and Mustard “Red Giant” all have good winter tolerance. Root crops like carrots can survive a Delmarva winter, too, and when sown in the fall will provide a winter harvest. Try “Napoli,” a specialized breed with a very sweet taste. In milder climates they can be sown outdoors, but do better under protective covers. “Easter Egg” radishes mature from seed to harvest in 30 days and survive cold temperatures if grown under row covers. Various seasonal row and plant covers can lengthen the growing season for some crops, and extend the season throughout

winter for others. Cut the bottoms from plastic milk jugs or other large liquid containers to create “cloches,” that can be used to protect seedlings. Cold frames can be purchased at any garden center, or made from recycled materials (My grandfather made cold frames of old window sashes in the 1950s in which he started leafy crops in winter). Hoop frames are easy to shape of heavy screen, arch-shaped and covered with heavy gardening plastic. Make sure these hooped row covers are securely staked down to survive winter winds, and that it is easy to lift the covers to work and to harvest. These same covers will protect plants from insects and birds, and reduce the intensity of the sun during the regular growing season, so don’t discard them after Easter. To see a working winter garden, visit the garden at the Berlin Library, at 220 N. Main Street. This community garden has provided organically-grown vegetables to local shelters and soup kitchens for five years. Ask in the library for more information.

Tommy Mason receives Volunteerism Award by Worcester County On August 19, 2014, Tommy Mason received The 2014 Volunteerism Award by the Worcester County Commissions at the Atlantic Hotel in Berlin. The nomination letter below was written by Snow Hill Rotarian, Laura Bingham, on behalf of the club. Tommy Mason is a man that is synonymous with volunteering, catering and partnering with the Maryland Food Bank of the Lower Eastern Shore. Tommy is a native of Snow Hill and together with his wife, Rosalie, are members of the Ebenezer United Methodist Church. He has seen good times and bad times in our little town, but at one point, four years ago, as our economy changed in dynamics, Tommy realized that many families and the elderly were in need of food and services. At that time, the managers of the Ebenezer Ecumenical Food Pantry approached him. This organization fills the need of many in this area to supplement their own home food pantries by distributing food once a month. The pantryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backbone are volunteers from the Snow Hill community and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be possible without numerous donation from local businesses, church tithes and contributions from other local families.

He and Rosalie have been managing the pantry for several years now. In 2014, Tommy Mason, also a Snow Hill Rotarian, as the Snow Hill Rotary Club for help in obtaining a computer and printer, required by the Maryland Food Bank. With a special grant program created by fellow Rotarians, funding was made available to purchase the computer as well as a much-needed freezer for the food pantry. By having the computer, the Ebenezer Food Pantry can communicate better with the Maryland Food Bank in Salisbury as well as the USDA program, as well as eventually with the recipient families. The results speak for themselves. The Ebenezer Food Pantry saw a 63% increase in families served from 2013 to 2014. Year

to date, the actual number of families served has reached 108! There has been a vast improvement within the organization as well. Tommy has worked with the warden of the county prison to have detainees assist in the maintenance of the facility as well as the actual distribution of the food. He has also been able to increase the amount of churches and businesses in collecting additional food items. In addition to the donated food, the USDA has an allocation each month. The Ebenezer Pantry is open the 2nd Friday of each month from 9am-noon at 107 S. Collins St., Snow Hill, MD. For information, call 410632-1379. Tommy Mason’s continual giving and

working has placed him at the top. He is a humble, caring and motivational individual. We, as his fellow Rotarians feel that he is deserving of special recognition for his outstanding volunteerism in Worcester County. Contributed by Laura Bingham, Snow Hill Resident and Rotarian.
