publisher From the
I
n this same month, May, 22 years ago What’s Up? magazine was launched. The offices were in the basement level of my house and the magazine was 48 pages. I remember being so proud because I thought that 48 pages was huge! We had four pages in the front and four pages in the back and two in the middle that were in color and the rest of the pages were black and white. You could buy a Mercedes, as advertised on our inside front cover, for $30,450 and play golf including all green fees, cart fees, driving range use, and barbecue lunch for $65, which was advertised on the back cover. We had quite a few pages of homes for sale and I have seen the same house advertised for sale over the years many times. The price for a large house was advertised as: “This large in town home is a private compound. Home boasts 337ft on Weems creek. Deepwater pier/lift. 42ft pool. 6 car garage and Au pair suite or in-home office with incredible water views and private decks. $649,000.” My, how the world has changed!

Today our Annapolis magazine trends between 160 to 192 pages; this issue is 192 pages, all in color. What’s Up? Media has grown from one magazine to six, covering Eastern Shore, Annapolis, Weddings, Seniors, and The Naval Academy, plus this one in your hands. It’s been a busy 22 years. The topics we cover have changed as well. Originally, the main focus was the calendar of events and our readers still report that it’s still one of your top sections, however home, dining, and, especially, the party pages and health have become very popular. I think the growing interest in health topics is one major difference of all our interests. I don’t remember people talking as much about cosmetic surgery or teeth whitening or worrying about what foods will make them healthy or not as we do today. All these changes have been reflected in what we cover, and we hope you will keep on letting us know what new topics you think will be important.
“All these changes have been reflected in what we cover, and we hope you will keep on letting us know what new topics you think will be important.” In the meantime, summer is finally appearing and we have a treasure trove of so many events and festivals scheduled out to the end of this year, that it will be impossible to be bored. Just when I think I’ve seen it all during these 22 years, I learn of something new and exciting happening in town or across the Bay Bridge; proof that our communities are as dynamic today as they ever have been. Let’s keep it all going. Have a wonderful month.

Recycling
A selection of readers’ responses and questions sent to editors and staff at large. To send your comment or question, email editor@whatsupmag.com or info@whatsupmag.com.
As a self-described recycling geek, I was very excited when I opened the April 2019 What’s Up? Annapolis to find an article (The Long and Winding Recycling Trail) that promised to answer the question, “What’s recyclable, What’s not?” This is a question that I constantly ask myself. It only gets more and more confusing every day. So, was the question answered? Not to the degree that I’d hoped. It was a great start. We learned that we are making a lot of mistakes—throwing non-recyclables in the recycling bins that cause big problems for those in charge. But it stopped short of giving the information that the citizens of Anne
Arundel County really need. What should we be tossing into the recycling bin? So, suggested next steps, an article that includes a comprehensive, very specific list of what’s recyclable. —Jan Spicknall, Crownsville Editor’s Response: This feedback is very helpful in moving the needle of what and how we cover topics. Useful reader information is what we strive for; as such, we plan to continue covering not only recycling efforts in our county and state, but also environmental topics that impact our livelihood and local ecology. Be on the lookout for a follow-up article in a future issue or online, detailing your suggestions.

Terra Ziporyn Snider Start School Later
T
By Andrew Reed
he start of the school day is forcing children to ignore their regular sleep pattern, according to Dr. Terra Ziporyn Snider. In response to this, she was inspired to co-found Start School Later, a nonprofit focused on mending the relationship between school start hours and healthy sleep.
For the past seven years, Snider’s organization has advocated changing the time that public schools start the day. They believe starting school before 8:30 a.m. does not allow teens an adequate amount of sleep. Snider says this can cause significant, long-term effects on teens’ health, and can negatively impact blood glucose regulation, blood pressure, reaction time, and the ability to learn. 42
What’s Up? Annapolis | May 2019 | whatsupmag.com
The Severna Park resident had three children attend county schools. She remembered her first Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) meeting in 2002. “When I came in the first day,” the 60-year-old Snider recalls, “the person who was the chair of the CAC said our number-one priority is the school start times. So, I figured by the time my daughter got to high school, it would be all taken care of because everybody believed it was the right thing to do.” Snider notes that around this time, research was beginning to show that sleep patterns change during puberty, and contribute to excessive sleepiness in adolescents. In response to this, a pilot program, supported by then-principal Joyce Smith and Superintendent Carol S. Parham, was developed in 2000 to start Annapolis High School at 9 a.m. rather than 7:17 a.m., according to an article in The Baltimore Sun. Unfortunately, due to budgetary constraints, the pilot program was dropped. “It’s now 2019. They have moved the bell times to 7:30 rather than 7:17, which is still far too early, but my daughter is now 31 and has two children of her own,” Snider says. Snider, who was campaigning the issue in Patch articles
online, was beginning to understand how complicated public school politics were. After years of almost no results, she began to give up. “By the time my son was in high school, we started looking at private schools,” Snider explains. But Snider’s luck began to change when a petition she started through the Obama Administration’s Online Petition Portal in 2011 began to attract national attention. Unfortunately, Snider failed to gain the necessary number of signatures to get a response from the White House. “They just obliterated the petition,” Snider says. “All that work seemed just for nothing. Except that on the very same day that my petition disappeared, I started getting calls from the national media saying, ‘Tell us about this petition.’” As it turns out, Snider’s Patch articles had gained some traction, and she suddenly discovered she was not trying to make a difference alone. “Reporters called me up,” she says, “and on top of that, I started getting calls from people around the country who were doing the same thing I was. I realized that what was happening in our county was not unique. It was a much deeper problem.” Snider, on the verge of retreat, was then approached by a Patch freelancer with the idea of starting an organization. “Let’s start another petition and just keep this going,” Snider was told. Today, Start School Later has grown from five people sitting around a kitchen table
into a national 501 (c)(3) nonprofit. They have 130 chapters all over the country, and legislation has been introduced in 14 states on the issue. “Two bills passed in Maryland,” Snider says. “Right here, because of our work.” And this legislation has proven measurable differences. “We’re now seeing that when schools move later, kids are in better moods,” Snider says. “They have fewer signs of depression, fewer suicidal thoughts, are less likely to abuse substances, [there are fewer] road accidents, attendance rates go up, tardiness goes down, truancy goes down, graduation rates go up.” What has been most exciting for Snider, however, is uniting different people from around the country who have been struggling with the same issue. “If you’re working on this issue all alone, it’s hard,” Snider says. “We’ve brought all these people together. All working kind of in isolation in their own worlds on this cause, but they are all united in this organization now, and it’s making a huge difference.” Snider is proud to have given them a national platform, a community, and the ability to be heard. “You know, it is an example of that Margaret Mead quote that’s so famous,” she says. “‘A small group of concerned citizens can change the world. It’s the only thing that ever has.’ We really feel that.” For more information on Start School Later, visit startschoollater.net

NEW WEBSITE
CONNECTS PET PARENTS OF RESCUE ANIMALS Edgewater-native Connie Bekavac created a new, free website that connects pet owners who have lost or had to surrender their pet to the people who found or rescued that pet. A philanthropic effort, Bekavac created Pet Parents’ Place because she has always adopted cats and dogs, and often wondered why they were available for adoption. Bekavac’s goals for the website is to connect past and present owners, and reassure previous owners that their former pet has a loving home. The website also helps members mourn the loss of their pet, as well as offers resources regarding pet adoption and pet-friendly places around town.

Arundel Federal Savings Bank employees have been volunteering one Saturday every month at the Harundale Presbyterian Church in Glen Burnie since the fall of 2017. The group supports the church’s lunch program by cooking, washing dishes, serving food, and making sure guests feel welcome. Arundel Federal Savings Bank employees began volunteering because they wanted to make a difference in the community in a meaningful and personal way. The lunch program, which is called Feeding the Hungry, serves approximately 5,400 meals per year, and there are no restrictions or requirements to receive a meal. The hot lunch is served every Monday and Thursday from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., and every Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.

“I have watched my father over the years be a definition of a leader. I lead with my drive, work ethic, and competitiveness. I show my teammates how to play and how to complete and ultimately how to win.”

Both of his grandfathers, Raymond Krampf (Navy) and Bruce Martin (Army), served in the military while his father, Bill, chose a career with the Anne Arundel County Police. Ian has co-captained the St. Mary’s varsity lacrosse team for three years and was also co-captain for the varsity football team for a season last fall.

t. Mary’s senior Ian Krampf comes from a family proud of its service in the military and law enforcement. Krampf wants to carry on the family tradition and attend Officer Candidates School for the Marines after he graduates from Johns Hopkins University.
What’s Up? Annapolis | May 2019 | whatsupmag.com
His dad, who is the county’s deputy chief, is the one who set the example of leadership for him. “I have watched my father over the years be a definition of a leader,” Ian says. “I lead with my drive, work ethic, and competitiveness. I show my teammates how to play and how to complete and ultimately how to win.” The 5-foot-8, 205-pound Krampf will attend Johns Hopkins on a lacrosse scholarship. He chose the Blue Jays over offers from Drexel and the Air Force Academy. Krampf, who carries a 4.0 grade-point average, was also heavily recruited by Navy, Army, and Towson.
But Johns Hopkins’ tradition—the Blue Jays have won 44 national championships—and other factors made his decision easy. “He went to John Hopkins and fell in love with the program, the facilities and (long-time coach) Dave Pietramala,” Bill Krampf says. “That’s what made his mind up.” Ian’s off-the-field activities probably appealed to Johns Hopkins’ coaching staff as much as his lacrosse talent. The 17-year-old Krampf was a member of the National Honor Society, volunteers in the police department’s “Shop with a Cop” and “Toys for Tots” programs, and devotes his time at a home for the elderly. “I like the feeling of giving back, and doing it the best way you can,” says Krampf, a Harwood resident. Krampf’s accomplishments in lacrosse are impressive. The four-year starter was named an Under Armour All-American following his junior year when he led St. Mary’s in goals (38) and finished second in assists (17). Krampf
turned in a better sophomore year, ranking first on the Saints in goals (61) and second in both assists (21) and ground balls (45). He credits his development to playing year-round for the Annapolis Hawks, a highly competitive club team. St. Mary’s Boys Lacrosse Coach Victor Lilly has seen Krampf score 116 goals in his career entering this season. Lilly says the senior is just as crucial to the Saints for his leadership ability. Krampf is the only three-year co-captain during Lilly’s 15 years as a St. Mary’s coach. “He is working at lacrosse six or seven days a week,” Lilly explains. “When he does that, he brings other players to the facility to prepare for the season. They get stronger in the weight room and better on the lacrosse field with stick skills.” Krampf only started for one season in football at linebacker, but St. Mary’s football coach Jason Budroni says “he had a phenomenal year.” Indeed. He led the team in tackles with 160, recorded five sacks, and recovered a fumble for a touchdown to earn First-Team All-County honors. “This year, everything just clicked for him,” Budroni explains. “He caught on quickly. As the season went on, he just got better and better. He watched a lot of film and prepared for games well. He could definitely play Division III college football. He is smart, fast, and really tough.”

The Economics of Giving New Tax Law Helps Reshape Donor Behavior By Anirban Basu
Make no mistake, Americans are charitable. According to data released by Charity Navigator, a non-profit that monitors U.S. charities, more than $410 billion was donated to different causes in 2017. That represented a 5.2 percent increase over the prior year. Indeed, 2017 represented the third consecutive year during which giving reached a record level. American charity generally tends to trend higher. Since 1977, there have been only three years (1988, 2008, and 2009) during which charitable giving declined. The year 1998 came on the heels of Black Monday, which occurred on October 19th, 1987. On that red day, stock markets around the world crashed, including in the U.S. where the Dow Jones Industrial Average shed nearly 23 percent of its value. The years 2008 and 2009 overlapped with the worst of the Great Recession. While all of this speaks to generous people, policymakers have worked hard over time to nudge Americans to give more. Over 100 years ago, the nation found itself mired in World War I. Having recently implemented a national income tax intended to help pay for the war, policymakers fretted that this would leave less money available for charities, which at that time provided essential services like housing, care for orphans, food, and healthcare in substantial quantities. This was a period that preceded programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and food stamps. Shortly after federal policymakers ratified the 16th Amendment, which permanently legalized the income tax, Washington began fiddling with the tax code to induce more charitable donations. America’s first tax deduction for charitable giving originated from a piece of legislation called, ironically, the War Revenue Act of 1917. Sponsors of the bill were especially concerned that wealthy taxpayers would stop making charitable donations since they were already paying an income tax to support the war. For a century, the tax code has changed markedly. Marginal rates have plummeted, which ironically renders deductions less valuable. Nonetheless, people have garnered a high degree of satisfac-

tion from giving to worthy organizations and deriving a bit of a tax break in the process. However, deductions only inure to the benefit of those who itemize their expenses, and the tax reform passed in 2017 fundamentally altered how many Americans are likely to itemize. Partly to simplify the tax code, tax reformers doubled the standard deduction from $12,700 to $24,000 for married couples and $6,350 to $12,000 for single filers. Estimates produced immediately after the tax reform’s passage indicated that the number of taxpayers who would itemize was set to decline from 37 million to 16 million. Related estimates suggest that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would reduce the federal income tax subsidy for charitable giving by a third, from approximately $63 billion to about $42 billion. In short, these dynamics stand to induce many taxpayers to forego giving as they shift from itemizing to embracing a much larger standard deduction. According to Charity Navigator, of the $410 billion in charitable giving registered in 2017, 70 percent came from individuals. Individuals have historically accounted for two-thirds of donations. The organization goes on to note that 31 percent of contributions, or roughly $127 billion of all giving in 2017, went to religious organizations. There is at least one other factor at work. Because income and wealth have become increasingly concentrated over time, charitable giving has also become more concentrated. Among other things, this is reflected in tax data. During the early 2000s, households earnings more than $200,000 comprised approximately 30 percent of all charitable deductions. By 2017, this group accounted for 52 percent.
About
Anirban Basu Anirban Basu is Chairman & CEO of Sage Policy Group, Inc., an economic and policy consulting firm headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. In 2014, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan appointed him Chair of the Maryland Economic Development Commission. Basu earned his B.S. in foreign service at Georgetown University in 1990. He earned his master’s in public policy from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, and his master’s in economics from the University of Maryland, College Park. His juris doctor was earned at the University Of Maryland School of Law.
Not coincidentally, the share of charitable deductions from households making more than $1 million expanded from 12 percent in 1995 to 30 percent in 2015, according to a study of tax filings conducted by the Institute for Policy Studies. Correspondingly, as indicated by MarketWatch and many other publications, charities are increasingly relying upon larger donations from smaller numbers of high-income, high-net worth donors. While many of the ultra-wealthy will continue to itemize and donate in the wake of tax reform, some fraction will undoubtedly take the standard deduction, which may translate into less giving. This strongly suggests that charities will become even more dependent on donations from those with stratospheric incomes going forward.

If you’re traveling the B&A Trail and want to extend your trek another 12.5 miles, or vice versa, the trails are linked via the John Overstreet Connector, which is located at the southern terminus of the BWI Trail and the northern terminus of the B&A Trail. Aviation enthusiasts will want to make a stop at Andover Park, which has excellent views of the BWI airport runway. Looking for a more relaxing excursion? Not to worry! This trail also passes through natural areas, including the pine forest at Friendship Park.

The trail routes boast spectacular water views, an outdoor exercise pavilion, and plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife.

Located at the mouth of the Severn River, the 231-acre Greenbury Point peninsula features beautiful and unique views of the water, downtown Annapolis, and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The trail offers two routes: the 3.3-mile Nature Center Trail and the 2-mile Tower Trail. The property is owned by the Naval Academy and is often used as a rifle range for NSA Annapolis, so the area may not be open every day. Before you head to Greenbury Point, be sure to check the NSA Annapolis Twitter page (@NSAAnnapolis) for any announcements or updates. Quiet Waters Park Trail , Annapolis.

EASTERN SHORE Assateague Island, Berlin. A barrier island off the coast of Maryland and Virginia, Assateague Island offers a unique hiking experience. The island is constantly being reshaped and remade by coastal tides and strong winds, making for dynamic and, at times, challenging hiking. There are three marked trails on the Maryland side, and 11 across the Virginia border, as well as 37 miles of beach to enjoy. Make sure to keep an eye out for the park’s famous herd of wild horses, which have been native to the island since the late 17th century. The park also offers several beachfront camping sites that operate on a first come, first served basis and make for a great weekend getaway. Keep in mind the strenuousness of beach hiking, which can be far more exhausting than hiking on hard surfaces. The flat, empty terrain also makes it difficult to estimate mileage. During the summer, it is important to be well prepared for the island’s heat and bugs.

watchers and casual onlookers. The park also has a longtime resident, a holly tree found on the Holly Tree Trail that is claimed to be over 280 years old. The island consists of five casual trails over a combined six miles of terrain, including bike and horse trails. However, the park asks you approach these trails with respect, as one of their primary objectives is stabilizing its eroding shoreline. Youth group camping is also permitted through reservations.
STATE/REGIONAL Calvert Cliffs State Park, Lusby. Calvert Cliffs State Park, located in Southern Maryland’s Calvert County, boasts nearly 24 miles of massive cliffs along the shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay. The park is well-known for fossil hunting, as many remains of prehistoric species can be found here. The quarter-mile beach area of Calvert Cliffs is where parkgoers hunt for fossils and partake in other beach activities, like swimming (keep in mind, though, that there is no lifeguard present). In addition to the 13 miles of foot trails, Calvert Cliffs offers fishing on its oneacre fishing pond. For biking, visitors must use the service road.

ife is unpredictable, and no one knows what tomorrow may bring. So, without a doubt, estate planning is one of the most significant steps that you can take to ensure that your financial and personal matters are handled according to your wishes and that your family and loved ones are provided for and protected. Indeed, making sure that your estate is in order is not only practical, but it also provides you with a sense of empowerment.

Planning for end-of-life legal concerns is a fairly straightforward process that involves preparing a will, which deals with financial matters, and an advance directive, which deals with health care issues during incapacity caused by injury or illness. Completing these documents allows you to make your own decisions. You can also express your wishes to your family, which helps eliminate confusion. Most important, taking control of end-of-life issues gives you peace of mind because you know that your wishes will be honored.
Preparing Estate Planning Documents Obviously, you know that a will allows you to determine how you want to distribute your assets after your death. What you may not know, however, is why a will is such an important document. The law of estates and trusts is built on the foundation of freedom of disposition, which means you can decide how you want to distribute your property and to whom. But according to state law, if you don’t have a will or a trust, a default system takes effect, and the decision is determined by the state statute. Many people choose to use a revocable trust instead of a will. This document serves as a “will substitute,” but has the added benefit of providing for asset management if you become dis-
abled. For this reason, a revocable trust may be a better option as you grow older. Lawyers encourage everyone—from elderly couples with grown children to young couples just starting their families—to exercise their right to decide where their assets go. If you have young children, you may not think that you need a will or a revocable trust—or that there is time to prepare one later—but you need to make plans now. A will allows you to choose the guardian of your children, while a revocable trust permits you to control how the assets are handled for your children’s benefit until they are old enough to make their own financial decisions. The bottom line: It doesn’t matter how old you are or what your life circumstances are. Plan ahead and prepare a will or a revocable trust, so you can decide what you want. Give your family members an inheritance, donate money to your alma mater or your favorite charity, or set aside money for your pet. After all, pets are members of your family, too, and they need to be provided for after your death. You can plan for pets in your will by designating a person to take custody of your beloved animal companion. You may also want to give him or her a cash gift that can be used to care for your pet. Another option is a pet trust. Under Maryland law, you can create a trust that allows money to be set aside for your pet’s care. Besides a will or a revocable trust, another type of estate planning document that you may consider preparing is a family trust, which is a broadly defined term that can be used to describe different trusts. For example, a family trust may refer to a revocable trust; in other cases, it may apply to an irrevocable trust that is designed to achieve estate planning goals beyond avoiding probate, such as asset protection, professional management of trust assets, or estate tax savings. In general, a family trust can serve a variety of purposes, so it may be an ideal document for you, depending on your individual circumstances and needs. Some of the benefits include the following:
ASSET PROTECTION A properly drafted irrevocable family trust can be designed to protect trust assets from being attached by creditors or divided in a divorce and serve as a source of funds available for the needs of a beneficiary. PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT In some cases, a family trust can be designed to designate professional trustees and other trust advisors to manage the trust assets. Professional trust managers include financial institutions, certified public accountants, and attorneys. Designating a professional to the role of trustee may be beneficial because it allows knowledgeable professionals to manage the trust to achieve its intended results. FLEXIBILITY Although a family trust is often drafted to be irrevocable to achieve its desired tax or asset protection goals, it can also be created to be very flexible, so it can address changes in the law or family circumstances. TAX SAVINGS An irrevocable family trust can be designed to be protected from federal and Maryland estate tax upon the death of the beneficiary. A properly drafted trust can protect the trust assets from being subject to estate taxes.
Your lawyer can help you prepare your will, revocable trust, or family trust based on your particular life circumstances. He or she can offer advice, address your questions or concerns, and provide an objective perspective. To validate your will, you must sign it in the presence of two witnesses. A trust does not have the same witness requirements as a will, but it is a good idea (although not required) to follow the same witness procedure that is required for a will. Like any legal document, you should review your estate planning documents periodically, especially when there are significant changes in your life (new children, grandchildren, business sales, etc.).
Preparing an Advance Directive Under a Maryland law called the Health Care Decisions Act, you can prepare an advance directive, which allows you to specify your preferences regarding health care if you’re no longer able to make your own decisions due to incapacity. For your convenience, the Maryland Office of the Attorney General provides forms online at www. oag.state.md.us/Healthpol. However, you aren’t required to use these specific forms, and you may even change them whatsupmag.com | May 2019 | What’s Up? Annapolis
87
or use different forms if you wish. (An advance directive may also be prepared electronically if it meets certain technical requirements set forth in law.) Although you can complete an advance directive without the assistance of a lawyer, you may want to consult your lawyer if you have any questions or concerns. A valuable document for adults of any age, an advance directive includes two sub-documents: a durable power of attorney for health care and a living will. A durable power of attorney for health care allows you to designate a health care agent to make decisions for you. You can decide how much authority your agent has and may select a family member or someone else. Choose someone who knows you well and talk to him or her about what type of medical treatment you would want if you were unable to speak for yourself. Make sure that he or she understands your wishes and is willing to accept the responsibility of making decisions on your behalf. Since this is a very personal decision, choose the person who you feel is best qualified—even if your family may not agree with you. Unlike a will, which indicates your decisions regarding financial matters, a living will specifies your decisions about medical treatment, including your preferences about life-sustaining procedures, such as the use of a breathing machine or a feeding tube. Although you don’t have to prepare both a durable power of attorney for health care and a living will, it’s in your best interest to do so because it makes your wishes as clear as possible. This not only helps your doctors, but it also creates a guideline that further helps your health care agent make decisions on your behalf. To validate your advance directive, you must sign it in the presence of two witnesses. (If you named a health care agent, he or she may not be a witness.) Since your family circumstances or medical issues may change, you should re-evaluate the document periodically. In addition to an advance directive, another document that you should complete with your doctor is a Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (MOLST) form. This document can be used in conjunction with an advance directive— further ensuring that your wishes are honored—and includes more specific orders regarding life-sustaining treatments as well as a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order. Talk to your doctor about the appropriate time to complete this form. For more information about advance directives or the MOLST form, contact Paul Ballard, assistant attorney general and counsel for health decisions policy, at 410-767-6918. 88

REVOCABLE TRUSTS VS. WILLS Revocable trusts are increasingly popular as “will substitutes.” Unlike a will, a revocable trust holds your property, and you are your own trustee as long as you are able. At death, it operates quite similarly to a will. The main benefit is that a revocable trust is a better tool for handling your possible disability than a durable power of attorney. Revocable trusts also avoid the state probate system. RT

How do I choose the right attorney?
What is a Will?
Finding an attorney who best fits your needs can be challenging. Unlike other professionals who you only interact with a few times a year, you may need to be in frequent contact with your attorney—depending on your legal issues. A successful attorney/client relationship can last a lifetime, so it’s crucial that you choose an attorney who understands you and your goals—someone who makes you feel comfortable and whose advice you trust. Talk to your family and friends, read reviews, and do your homework. The attorney who is best for you will work tirelessly to resolve your legal issues and give you peace of mind as you navigate the legal process.
A Will is a legal document that provides for the distribution of property owned solely by you at the time of your death in any manner you choose— subject to a few laws like disinheriting a spouse. A Will does not govern assets that pass outside of probate like jointly owned property, life insurance, or IRAs that have survivorship or beneficiary designations. A Will designates who you want to wind up your affairs. It also names the individuals, charities or trusts, that receive your assets. If you have minor children, it is important to name guardians for them in a Will. A Will is your personal plan how you want your assets distributed at your death. It should be tailored to your specific situation.

Steeped in history, HBD’s roots in the community are deep and extend back to 1976 when Samuel J. Brown began his practice with Noah A. Hillman and his son, Richard Hillman. Noah, who founded the firm in 1929, began a tradition of excellence that continues today. So it’s especially noteworthy that 2019 also marks 90 years since he began practicing law—a reminder of his enduring legacy. Although Brown joined the practice in 1976, it was not until October 1979 that HBD was created. At that time, Brown merged with the practice of Michael P. Darrow, and the firm as it is known today was officially born. A historic full-service law firm, HBD is located in a highly coveted location in the heart of downtown Annapolis—just steps from the courthouse—and has occupied the same iconic building since 1979. One of the oldest and most respected law firms in Annapolis, HBD has stood the test of time and prides itself on its longevity, its stability, and its role as a pillar of the community.

Estate and Asset Protection Planning. Estate planning is the process of organizing your personal and financial affairs to be prepared in the event of disability and to arrange for the orderly transmittal of property to the client’s intended beneficiaries. The key is to fashion a plan specifically designed for our clients’ needs and desires. We work with our clients, taking the time necessary to ascertain those needs and desires, and to explore various ways to implement a tailor-made estate plan. To do this, we prepare wills, various types of trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, and other estate planning documents. The documents can be simple, complex and/or focus on tax planning depending on the needs of the client. We explore the unique circumstances of every client and their planning goals and then tailor the documents to address those needs. Estate and Trust Litigation. We are not a general litigation firm. Rather, we are a fiduciary litigation firm. We handle disputes over the meaning of estate planning

documents, arguments involving personal representatives or trustees, and challenges to documents based on lack of capacity or undue influence. We regularly appear before Maryland’s orphans’ courts and circuit courts. We also routinely handle appeals in Maryland’s appellate courts. •
Estate and Trust Administration. Estate and Trust administration is the process of winding up a decedent’s financial affairs and implementing the plan contained in the will or trust. If a decedent dies without a valid estate plan in place, the estate needs to be settled in accordance with state law. There may be estate or inheritance taxes that need to be addressed. There may be post-mortem planning opportunities involving tax elections, disclaimers, and/or funding decisions that could favorably impact the intended beneficiaries. We prepare all estate and income tax returns in-house so we can offer seamless administration services from beginning to end.

Our fiduciary litigation practice, in turn, benefits from our understanding the of the substantive issues that arise in our planning and administration practices. Clients are clients of the whole firm – not just of one lawyer in the firm. This starts from the initial meeting and continues to the end. This collaborative approach, coupled with our involvement in all aspects of estates and trusts law, lets us deliver the highest quality of client services. Our approach leverages the knowledge of seasoned lawyers and staff. The firm consists of three partners: Fred Franke, David Sessions, and Jack Beckett; and one associate, Deb Howe. Fred is a Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, past chair of the Estate and Trust Section Council of the Maryland State Bar Association, and he has taught at the University of Baltimore School of Law. All three partners have written articles for law reviews or other legal publications and all three present continuing education courses on estates/trusts topics.

Corporate and Estate Planning for Individuals, Families, and Businesses.
T
he Fisher Law Office works with everyone from individuals to complex families and businesses that range from garagetech start-ups to multimillion-dollar operations. “We give individualized attention to each client. We know better than most that the one constant in life is change. Our mission is to help our clients cope with change in its many forms in order to take care of the two most important things in their life—everything they own and everyone they love.” Corporate Transactions. The Fisher Law Office provides legal counsel for clients in all corporate areas. This includes everything from the inception of an idea to exiting the business. The Fisher Law Office also advises lenders and investors on business transactions. Business succession planning, focusing on multigenerational strategies for high net-worth individuals is a major focus of the firm’s practice. Estate Planning. A well-designed estate plan should provide for loved ones by avoiding or significantly reducing probate at death and reducing or eliminating death taxes. That plan should also avoid guardianship during your lifetime and eliminate unnecessary delays and publicity. The entire firm, including Mr. Fisher and the staff, takes time with each client to understand their goals, family, and financial situation and to carefully explain the most advantageous options and strategies. “We here at the firm have learned the hard way that no one can prevent the changes that life can bring. Our goal is to help clients have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that they have planned and provided for themselves and their families when that change comes.” Asset Protection. The Fisher Law Office can provide diverse options for clients on asset protection, often a priority of medical, legal, financial and architectural professionals who own their own practice, as well as other business owners who are concerned they may become an attractive target for lawsuits. The firm works with clients to create a plan that insulates family assets and reduces the risk of loss from potential liability. “There are multiple options, from newly-created husband and wife irrevocable trust choices here in Maryland to more complex domestic asset protection trusts with a family’s own private office or private trust company in other states, for higher wealth individuals. A successful asset protection component of a creative estate plan can actually eliminate the threat of most lawsuits by removing the claimant’s economic incentive to sue.” Estate Administration. Administering an estate or trust can seem to be an overwhelming task. Although most estates run smoothly, others involve family conflict, IRS disputes, or other challenges. We make the job more manageable by assisting you in every facet of the process. Randy Fisher is a member of WealthCounsel, a national network of more than 1,800 estate and financial planning practitioners who collaborate on best practices and changes in the law. Mr. Fisher began practicing law in Washington, D.C., in 1988, and opened his Annapolis practice in 2004. In 2019, Mr. Fisher was again honored with an AV rating, the highest possible rating for legal ability and ethical standards for twenty-three consecutive years by Martindale-Hubble, the legal profession’s leading peer review organization. He also has been given the “Client Distinction Award,” among other awards and honors. Mr. Fisher belongs to a number of community, professional, and legal organizations, including the Anne Arundel Estate Planning Council. He recently served as Chairman of the West Anne Arundel County Chamber of Commerce in 2015 and 2016 and oversaw the merger which formed the Central Maryland Chamber of Commerce, the largest Chamber of Commerce in Maryland.

Ronald M. Naditch, P.A.
R
on Naditch has decades of experience successfully handling disputes in the areas of family law (prenuptial agreement, divorce, alimony, domestic violence, and all children related issues), automobile accidents, criminal law, and general civil law.
Ron is a graduate of Dickinson College and University of Maryland Law School (with honors), where he served as an Assistant Editor of the Maryland Law Review and finished in the top 10 percent of his day school class. After law school, he served as a law clerk for The Honorable C. Ferdinand Sybert, a judge on the Maryland Court of Appeals. He then served a tour of duty in the United States Coast Guard before going into private practice as an associate of Goodman and Bloom in Annapolis, a position he held for one year. For more than 25 years thereafter, while Ron was developing his private practice, he served under five States Attorneys as a part-time Senior Assistant State’s Attorney in Anne Arundel County. In this capacity he specialized in handling murders, rapes, robberies, and other major felony cases and was the go to person in cases involving insanity pleas until he retired in 1993. During his legal career, Ron has represented the Anne Arundel County Department of Social Services; he has been a member of the Maryland Attorney Grievance Review Board; and he has been recognized by Martindale Hubbell (a publication that rates lawyers based upon responses from their peers) as an “AV” rated attorney since the mid-1970s. He also has the highest attorney rating from AVVO. In 1993, the judges of the Anne Arundel County Circuit Court appointed him as part-time Master/Examiner and he participated as a hearing officer for the Court in 5000-7000 cases over a period of 25 years before the elimination of that position in 2018. At this stage of his practice, a great deal of Ron’s time is spent conducting mediations for people who have family law issues. It has been his experience, after more than 25 years as a mediator, that nearly all family law issues can be resolved in this non-adversarial procedure. Mediation is far less expensive than litigation and, with the assistance of a trained mediator, can allow couples to dissolve their marriages and determine how to fairly resolve all child related issues, as well as issues relating to fair and appropriate monetary adjustment with regard to their property and/or to adjust their differences in income. The balance of his time is spent representing clients in contested family law cases in Anne Arundel, Queen Anne and Talbot Counties. Ron considers family law to be a unique legal area and that it is in the best interest of the divorcing parties and their children if they seek to mediate solutions to their problems, as opposed to allowing the courts to mandate decisions about their lives, the lives of their children, and their financial assets. A divorce should not be about winners, losers, and results that end in scorched earth. Peaceful solutions to divorces inures to the benefit of all parties. An attorney should act as a problem solver, neither accelerating nor aggravating what is often a stormy situation. Ron’s approach is to say to his clients when they come into his office, “Let’s sit down, discuss, mediate, and resolve the issues, instead of letting a person in a black robe make a decision about you and your family.” According to Ron, “I think of myself as a problem solver, not a troublemaker, in family law cases. But if trouble arises or problems cannot be resolved without limitation, I have the experience to handle any type of case.”

Estate Planning and Elder Law Attorneys
Do you know what will happen to your family and your assets if you become incapacitated, or what will happen to your loved ones after you pass away? Many people do not like to think about illness, injury, or death. While it is understandable to put these topics out of your mind, you can put your family—and yourself—in a very bad situation if you do not plan ahead in case of illness and for the inevitability of your death. Waiting too long to make an estate plan can leave you and your loved ones in trouble if something unexpected happens. If you have not planned in advance and you need nursing home care or you get sick and cannot communicate your medical decisions, your family members could be put in a difficult position and you could face significant financial trouble and even receive unwanted medical care that you wouldn’t have chosen.

Yes. There is (sometimes) a common misconception that your spouse gets everything if you die without a will. If everything is jointly titled, that’s true. If not—and you don’t have a will—your estate will be divided among your spouse and children. This could leave your spouse with only some of your assets (and potentially insufficient funds to live). There are ways the children can give their share back to the surviving parent, but they can be complicated and expensive— probably more than a will would cost. Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish. Even an uncomplicated will is usually much cheaper than the costs of not having one.
Yes, there are ways to divide retirement savings, annuities, and pensions, in divorce. In fact, it is a very common thing. As a result of agreement of the parties through a Marital Settlement Agreement or by a judicial award, the Court may issue what is called a Qualified Domestic Relations Order “QDRO” which orders the entity in charge of the retirement assets to divide the retirement as provided in the order. If you would like more information on the division of retirement assets in a divorce you are welcome to contact us.

I want to rezone my property. How do I do it?
Why might I use a revocable trust? A revocable trust is a legal device that is used in planning for physical or mental incapacity as well as estate planning. It is an extremely effective way of designating someone else— often a family member, friend, or financial professional—the ability to step in and manage assets on behalf of someone who needs assistance. However, revocable trusts are not uniquely useful for tax or public benefits (i.e. Medicaid) planning. In many cases, other estate planning documents such as wills or powers of attorney will be sufficient. Each person’s situation and asset structure is unique, and no single type of document or estate plan works well for everyone. Nevertheless, a revocable trust can be an effective estate planning tool in many situations.
Anne Arundel County is in the process of updating its General Development Plan (“GDP”), and thereafter will update its zoning maps to implement the GDP. Participating in the GDP process is critical if you are interested in rezoning your property, and the time to start is in 2019. A land use attorney can help you navigate the process.

When is a lawsuit the best way to resolve an issue or dispute?
Will my bankruptcy appear in my credit report and how will it affect me? A Bankruptcy will appear in your Credit Report for up to ten years BUT will typically discharge all your debts, leaving you debt free and with a much better score than you had. Where you then make timely payments, you can usually receive new credit within 10 months after a discharge and obtain a new Mortgage 24 months after discharge. Lenders make loans based on credit worthiness more than any other factor. There are exceptions, but you will probably have little difficulty in re-establishing credit.
Almost never. Litigation is expensive, time consuming, and can be emotionally exhausting. More importantly, if you’re spending your days wandering the halls of courthouses, unless you are an attorney, you are not doing what you do to make a living. Resolving disputes and solving problems requires cooperation, patience, and a desire to look forward, not back. The right trial lawyer is the one who encourages clients to find common ground when it is possible, but is prepared for litigation when it is not.

Why should I use an attorney to prepare my Will when I can create my own Will using an internet service? Various internet services certainly provide an opportunity to create your own Will. However, in many instances, when using such a service, unintentional mistakes will occur. If the mistake is revealed after your passing, your heirs could end up spending thousands of dollars in legal fees to rectify the mistake. Creating an estate plan that accomplishes your personal estate planning goals is very important. An attorney can help you to understand all relevant laws, including applicable tax laws, with the ultimate goal of creating a customized estate plan that works for you.
MARIA WORTHINGTON MCKENNA Partner, Council Baradel
Why is it important to seek advice from an attorney as soon as possible about a potential claim? Memories are generally more accurate when fresh and tend to fade over time. If you consult with an attorney promptly, there is a greater likelihood that you will remember more facts and will be able to provide the attorney with more details regarding your potential claim. Many, if not most, cases also involve documents, electronically stored information, or other objects or things that can be used as evidence if claims are pursued. Prompt consultation with an attorney increases the possibility of preserving evidence that might otherwise be lost or destroyed. Prompt consultation with an attorney is also important because lawsuits asserting claims also must be filed within time limits established by law, and failure to file within the applicable time limits prevents recovery of damages.

Should I start a real estate holding company for my investment property? There are certainly advantages to holding an investment property in an LLC. Most notably, LLCs limit the personal liability of the members of the LLC. Any liability incurred by the LLC would therefore generally be limited to the assets of the LLC, and would not extend to the assets of the individual members. LLCs also provide a tremendous amount of flexibility in delegating responsibilities relative to the investment property as well as how profits will be distributed. There are, however, costs and other factors which need to be considered to make sure creating an LLC makes sense for your particular investment. These factors include the cost of establishing and maintaining the LLC, the costs of accounting relative to the LLC, the type of insurance policies available for the property, and the types of loan products available for any financing secured by the property.

What Asset Protection Laws are available in Maryland? In Maryland, an “inter vivos QTIP trust” can now be used for asset protection. Under this new law, one spouse may create a trust for the other spouse but retain the right to receive income or principal back if the donee spouse dies first. The rules are very precise, but if followed carefully, the trust is not subject to the donor’s creditor claims. For example, a high-risk spouse could create this trust for a low-risk spouse with spendthrift provisions and fund the trust with nonretirement assets.
RANDALL D. FISHER Fisher Law We want to hire a new employee; however, she is under a two year nonsolicitation agreement with her former employer. How do we hire this employee without being liable? Employers need to be cautious of hiring employees who are bound by restrictive covenant agreements, such as non-compete agreements, and agreements not to solicit employees and/or customers. These agreements are enforceable in Maryland if the provisions are reasonable in scope and duration, and narrowly tailored to further the employer’s legitimate business interests. Before an employer hires an employee with any such restrictions, the employer should review the scope of the restrictive covenants with an attorney to determine whether the new employee can perform her duties without violating the covenants. If there appears to be any potential for a violation, the employer should require the employee obtain a release of the restrictions before hiring. If the employer hires an employee with knowledge of her restrictive covenants, and the employee violates those covenants, the employer may be held liable for intentional interference with contract and/or other claims.

What happens to Pets (Fido and Mimi) in a Divorce? It is terrific to see so many people caring about their pets. Technically, the old school rules apply to pets which are that the Court sees them as property. We probably should be thinking about some new approaches to pets in divorce and animals in general under the law, but as for now, pets are considered property. This means under the property rules that a court has to value the pet in monetary terms and also could order that it be sold. In my practice I have never seen this happen, I am happy to say, but the rules are antiquated. The process of mediation, settlement and negotiation, provides great opportunity to find creative solutions that work for you and your pets. I have worked on many kinds of pet (co-ownership/custody) arrangements allowing pet owners who are divorcing to mutually care for their pet and/or have some visitation. The options are open to creativity. That is some good news!

What is a Special Needs Trust?
The answer is not simple – think of a 3-legged race in which you can only run as fast your partner. The divorce process can be very traumatic. Financial/Practical questions and emotions/fear are all in play. Couples are often simply not at the same place. So, patience, time and effort should be expected to reach an agreement and settle amicably. Under Maryland Law a divorce may be granted quickly if both parties agree and all financial issues of property and support are resolved in a Marital Settlement Agreement. Where the parties are not able to agree, the court process can be long and expensive and can last as long as one to two years, depending on the circumstances.
A special needs trust is a legal document that allows for management of assets for a beneficiary with a disability. The trust mainly accomplishes two goals 1) preservation of government benefits, and 2) effective management of assets. A special needs trust can be used as part of an estate plan to leave money behind to someone with a disability to allow them to continue to be eligible for government benefits. There are different types of special needs trust depending on when they are set up and by whom. Anyone who has a loved one with disabilities may want to consider establishing a special needs trust.

How does a person who is about to become involved in a family law problem select the right lawyer?
What is Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage?
1) Start by checking the lawyer’s rating in MartindaleHubbell, a publication which rates attorneys based on evaluations from one’s peers. 2) Inquire of friends who have been through a similar situation. 3) Inquire of lawyer friends you may have. 4) Ask people at the courthouse who work for the court in the family law division. 5) Confer with more than one lawyer to make certain that you are comfortable with the person selected. Lawyers are not “one size fits all.” Determine what you are looking for—super aggressive, cerebral, or warm and fuzzy. Look for someone who is responsive in getting back to you, who will not delegate duties to others, and who specializes in the issues that are likely to be involved in your case. This is a very important decision — select wisely.
PIP is a no-fault coverage that is required in Maryland unless you sign a waiver with your insurance coverage stating you don’t want to purchase it. It is a great benefit and you should check your policy and make sure you have it. It can be used whether you are at fault or a victim. PIP is offered in three amounts ($2,500, $5,000 and $10,000). PIP coverage is per person in the vehicle. It can be used to pay medical expenses or 85% of lost wages. PIP benefits are payable through your own policy and you do not have to pay the money back. PIP helps you pay bills or wages, but allows you to still collect money from the atfault driver for those same bills. Your insurance company cannot raise your rates, penalize you, or drop you for making a PIP claim. Remember, they will not mail out a lump sum check. Think of PIP like a debit card, as you get treatment or incur lost wages, the insurance will pay a little at a time.

What can someone buying waterfront property in Annapolis expect to find?
Is my home at risk if I need nursing home care? A common myth about nursing home care is that a government agency or the skilled nursing facility will ‘take’ your home. This is FALSE. You may own a home and qualify for help in paying care costs under certain, very specific conditions. Medical Assistance/Long-Term Care provides coverage for nursing home care beyond rehabilitation when the resident meets medical and financial criteria. An elder law attorney is crucial to manage the application process and protect the nursing home resident as well as their family.
Annapolis is a diverse community rich in history and culture and offers a huge selection of waterfront homes. Currently, there are homes ranging from condos in the $400s to a prestigious waterfront estate for $6,950,000. With our direct access to the Chesapeake Bay and some of the best boating, fishing, and crabbing in the world, it’s not surprising to see waterfront home sales and values on the rise. Welcome to the Annapolis lifestyle.

Leadership Anne Arundel celebrates 25 years of mentoring local leaders and developing community programs
It’s one of the most celebrated of all anniversaries—the 25th, also known as silver—and Leadership Anne Arundel is joining the club. The 501c3 organization, which offers several leadership programs, forums, and speaker series, graduated its inaugural class in 1994 and looks forward to the completion of its latest flagship program next month. Incorporated on March 24th, 1993, Leadership Anne Arundel (LAA) was founded by a band of committed citizens who wanted to create a platform to develop community leaders. The original mission then, as it is now, was “to broaden the base of existing and emerging leaders, county-wide, through the development of individual interests, conviction, influence, and confidence for the greater good of Anne Arundel County.”
Good things come to those who… attend trade conferences. The genesis of LAA took shape in the early 1990s, shortly after Jeanette Wessel—who, at the time, was the executive director of the Anne Arundel County Chamber of Commerce (then-known as the Anne Arundel Trade Council Board)—attended an Institute for Executive Directors. There, a new topic was discussed; how can local business chambers help develop future community leaders? Wessel brought this question and several ideas back to her chamber, which immediately went to task
ROUCHE’S COMMITTEE TARGETED THE FOLLOWING AREAS THAT LAA PARTICIPANTS NEEDED TO BE EXPOSED TO, AND TO UNDERSTAND THE INTERRELATION OF EACH: Health and human services Economic development Law enforcement Government and politics Environmental awareness Education and training Social needs Cultural diversity Criminal justice Media/communication Culture and the arts
exploring options. A steering committee was formed, consisting of Arthur Ebersberger, Paula McDermott, Ed Ladd, Pat Wathen, and Wessel. Chaired by locally-renowned businessman and philanthropist Ebersberger, now 72, this new committee would spend several months conceptualizing the program that would become Leadership Anne Arundel. To make LAA a reality, the committee focused on five areas: structure, funding, program development, selection process, and marketing. Ebersberger, who has a sharp wit and detailed memory of each step of the process, acknowledges the many individuals who stepped up to join the effort. “The structure and long-range plan were developed by me and Fred Delavan,” he explains. “Funding was handled by Ed Wayson, who established the Founders Group consisting of Reliable Contracting, The Buck Foundation, Chaney Enterprises, Anne Arundel Health System, C&P Telephone, Eastern Waste Industries, Inc., and Blumenthal, Wayson, Offutt, Klos and Delavan, P.C.—all of whom put up the money to get the program started. “Ed also suggested that we obtain session sponsors to create more cash flow. The program was put together by Pat Rouche and her committee. They developed the agendas for the sessions, evaluation forms, experts per topic, and established group project guidelines.” Thus, a comprehensive leadership program synthesizing these civil fields was developed, whereby the class would spend one full day, each month for 10 months (September through June), learning and training on site with professionals in each field. For example, there is a “Government Day,” spent in the state legislative buildings with local representatives. There is an “Education and Technology Day;” an “Environment Day;” and so on and so forth. Each class is also required
to identify a community problem, and design and implement an action plan to help resolve the problem. Through this collaboration, class members learn and practice leadership skills, while helping their communities. “Our first executive director, Nancy Wilson, worked for free until our first class was put in place,” Ebersberger says. “She really believed in our vision and mission, and worked closely with the steering committee to further LAA’s success. She helped develop additional resources for the organization and refined the programs.”
Ebersberger continues, “The selection process [of class participants] was put together by Ed Ladd and his committee. And marketing was put together by Ralph Crosby and his firm. LAA should always remember these individuals and their firms for giving their time, energy, talent, and money to make LAA a reality.” That reality would come to fruition in the fall of 1993, when the inaugural class was selected and flagship program launched. Thirty-five participants were carefully vetted and very excited about the journey that they saw ahead. Attorney David Plott was a member of this first class. “We were the LAA pioneers and enjoyed every minute of it,” he says. “Too many of us live compartmentalized lives where our work, community, social, and family lives are separate. LAA helps integrate those compartments of your life and connects you with motivated, bright, and interesting people from many diverse backgrounds.” In the years since, 23 more flagship classes have graduated (another joins next month) and LAA has expanded its line of programs to include a neighborhood leadership academy, executive leadership series, women’s executive forum, high school leadership experiences, and leadership speaker series. Lisa Hillman, a graduate of the 1995 class, connected with LAA when her boss at the time—the CEO of Anne Arundel Medical Center, Chip Doordan—asked if she’d like to be the hospital’s representative that year. “It was an honor to be asked to attend a leadership program by a leader I respected so much,” she says. Of her year in the program, Hillman recalls two vivid anecdotes that have stuck with her. “The police ride-along program,” Hillman explains. “On a Friday night, I joined a county officer as he counseled a wom-

an whose husband had stolen the piano keys from her piano. He’d just ripped the keyboard out of this stunning baby grand in a fit of anger against her. It made me realize the odd, unpredictable situations our police officers can face, and how they need to be social workers, counselors, and therapists as much as law enforcers. Secondly, a member of our class spoke about racial prejudice. He was an African-American male with a high-level position in a local tech company. He described a ‘ticking sound’ that was in his head constantly wherever he went—a ticking sound that followed him, reminding him to be wary, on guard, and cautious as he went through the world. That has haunted me.” Exposure to uncomfortable situations and learning how to navigate them is a current that flows through the program. It often has a profound effect on class members, but can produce a very positive experience. There’s also a lot of fun involved. Tanya St. John, a graduate of last year’s class, loved Government Day. “Of course, I’ve seen School House Rock’s ‘I’m Just a Bill,’” she says. “So, I got the gist of how a bill is proposed and becomes law, or not, but actually role-playing through the process made it come alive and seem more important and relevant. It also made me realize, that, as individuals, we really do have the power to make changes in our community.” John Camden, class of 2013, explains the community issue his class addressed. “We were a collaborative group, who quickly built solid relationships and cared about the communities we serve,” he says. “We had fun by polling several important community issues. I participated with the Bicycle Advocates for Annapolis and Anne Arundel County—Bike AAA—program. My classmate, Jon Korin, led the charge for our group as we set out to determine what efforts were already underway to promote biking in Anne

“If you want to play a leadership role in Anne Arundel County, this is a no brainer, it is a quick and effective way to immerse yourself in the needs and opportunities in our county and figure out your role.” Arundel County. After contacts with city, county, and state officials as well as clubs, schools, bike shops, and others, we found that the county lacked a bicycle advocacy group. Today, this nonprofit still stands strong.” In the 25 years of LAA, many successful projects and nonprofits have been founded through the diligent collaboration of class members. “Bike AAA,” “Teen Court,” “HeartSmart,” “Suits for Success,” “Pass, Pick & Play,” “Character Counts,” and “Musical Austist” are just a handful of the more than 50 projects launched by LAA classes. Bess Langbein, former president of the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County and LAA class of 2008, was new in her role as a county leader and says, “I wanted to take advantage of LAA’s curriculum to learn about issues and needs across the entire county, and make connections and friends with diverse leaders working to address them.” For anyone on the fence about whether LAA is a fit for them, each graduate we spoke with was exuberant about the experience

and encourages anyone with a desire to lead by example and improve their community to explore the programs. “If you want to play a leadership role in Anne Arundel County, this is a no brainer,” Langbein says. “It is a quick and effective way to immerse yourself in the needs and opportunities in our county and figure out your role.” Camden agrees and suggests, “Go check out the LAA website and in the directory, find a graduate to talk with about their experience. LAA continues to create impactful community contributions year after year.” “I proudly wear my LAA graduate pin regularly,” Camden continues. “It is a symbol of what we accomplished here in the community. It continues to catapult many great conversations for me as I interact with other business leaders. LAA has allowed me the opportunity to expand my professional network more than I ever imagined.” Earning the LAA pin is a significant milestone for each class member. It signifies the completion of a year-long commitment to learn and grow as a leader, but
also a passion for community building. Eric Edstrom, a 2003 graduate who has served as LAA executive director since 2011 and will be relinquishing his post this year, says it’s been quite a ride. “2003 Flagship year was an eye opener,” he says. “Becoming director in 2011 was a thrill and leaving in 2019 is both sad and joyful. LAA is a great organization, was a great place to work, and has some great graduates!” Ebersberger notes, “It is said that a leader is the one who makes things happen that would not happen otherwise. I would add that they need to be blessed with being surrounded by great people who care about their community and have the skills to carry out the vision and mission mentioned above.” Thankfully, Ebersberger, Edstrom, and a strong-willed group of peers and graduates 25 years in the making, have created a legacy of leadership that perpetually builds upon itself to achieve a better future for our communities.

Severna Park Charmer Estate with ice cream mogul’s roots, offers pleasant respite in the midst of the Route 2 corridor By Diana Love Photography courtesy of The Carol Snyder Group, Monument Sotheby’s International Realty.
Lionel “Manny” Hendler was just 19 when he teamed up with Louis Miller to make ice cream in the basement of Hendler’s family home in Baltimore. The year was 1905, and Hendler wisely thought he could turn leftover milk from his father’s dairy into a successful business. With a splash of ingenuity and entrepreneurship, building a small empire is exactly what he did. By the age of 26, Hendler owned a large and successful operation that became famous for churning out “the Velvet Kind,” Hendler Ice Cream Company’s trademark confection.
As Hendler became more financially successful, he looked for places to relax but found that he and his friends were shut out of country clubs and golf courses because of their Jewish faith. Hendler began a search for property south of Baltimore, in Anne Arundel County. In 1928, he made a deal with Severna Park developer Oscar Hatton: in exchange for the use of facilities and land around the local Olde Sever-

The Jays attention to detail and quality of craftsmanship is what makes this home truly unique. Situated on a 2.5-acre parcel of the original estate, this charming 3,300-square foot home exudes the spirit and function of its original purpose. Although the Jays added a grand 20-foot tall stone fireplace and an upstairs level, they kept the thick stone walls and archways, barn doors, and other elements of the original architecture wherever they could. He purchased solid wood timbers from a demolition he chanced upon in Baltimore and had them repurposed into the heart pine floors that run throughout the house. The beams that run through the grand common spaces are reclaimed from a church in Baltimore; the marble steps are reclaimed as well. The kitchen reveals how the Jays seamlessly married old to new. White floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry provides more than adequate storage areas, while the stainless-steel sink and appliances deliver convenience and longevity. Upstairs is another example of a virtually unnoticeable transition from the original common spaces to the addition. Architectural details like the stone arches match the same appointments downstairs, as does the white cabinetry and solid pine slab countertops.
na Park nine-hole golf course, he would not only create another nine holes to complete the course, but also build a clubhouse. Hendler threw great gala parties in the custom clubhouse he designed over the ensuing years, inviting guests to travel down the Baltimore-Annapolis railway to what was then considered “the country.” Eventually, he built a large estate, guest house, and stables throughout the 20 acres he was deeded. After Hendler’s death in 1965, portions of the estate, most notably the clubhouse and stables, sat abandoned for more than 40 years. Scott and Donna Jay purchased these buildings in the late 1990s and completely renovated them, inside and out. Today, this house is a testament to the Jays ability to see something beautiful where others might see only disrepair.

Other modern touches to this century-old building include vaulted ceilings, a large landing at the top of the stairs, a 900-square foot great room that punctuates the open floor plan, a screened porch, and ipe deck. In 2006, the Jays updated Hendler’s 1928 Olde Severna Park Golf Course Club House. The lower level includes a guest bedroom and bath with a working fireplace. Upstairs, the Jays kept the original stone bar and created a multi-purpose room that can be used as a workshop, studio, exercise room, game room, or office. This property is unusual not only for the work of the Jays but also for its tucked away location that happens to be right in the heart of Severna Park. The size of the lot allows for a driveway and extensive landscaping that make the property feel like a retreat farther away from the hustle of Ritchie Highway than it actually is. “It was challenging to price this property because it’s so unique,” listing agent Carole Snyder says. “It’s in the heart of Severna Park. It’s not waterfront, and it doesn’t have water access. We focused on the incredible construction and landscaping and the fact that you just can’t find this type of acreage and privacy right in town.”
Unable to source comps (“there were no comps for this property, and there never will be,” Snyder says), Synder and her partner looked at data that included acreage, outbuildings, and similar square footage to build a comprehensive idea about what the property was worth. “This house is not a farm, but it does have the detached twocar garage and what we call The Barn—the guest house, as well as the stream and pond,” Snyder says. “Wrapping our heads around this property and all that it offers was vital to a successful sale. We really had to communicate the total package of what a prospective buyer would be getting when they bought this house.” Originally listed for $1,595,000, the home sold for $1,525,000 in only 33 days. Travis Gray was the Buyer’s Agent. He says his clients had been looking for some time for a home in the Severna Park area, where the husband grew up and where both spouses have family. “My client was ready to give up the search, but I heard about this house through my relationship with Carole,” Gray says. “We all fell in love with the house and the property by the time we parked the car.” The new owners especially love the privacy of the heavily wooded and exquisitely landscaped parcel. “This had everything we wanted outside of the house, not only for us but also for our children and their friends,” they said. The Jays put a manmade well in the center of the back yard. The well marks the beginning of a small stream that flows down to a pond. Walking paths lead to a bridge tucked away in the woods, a sort of magical place for any visitor. “The land is surrounded by trees, so you feel like you are in your own world until you get out of the driveway and then you are right where you need to be when you pull out,” the new owner says. “Once we went through everything, we looked at each other and didn’t need to speak much to know this was something the other houses had not been, and something that we definitely wanted.” Gray admits that his clients were unique in that they were looking for something extraordinary. “Nothing like this exists in Severna Park,” he says. “Buyers of a property like this tend to look at it from a generational perspective—something that will hopefully stay in their family for generations. This home is truly special. It’s a step back in time, and it’s absolutely discreet, but it’s at the doorstep of everything you might need today.”

HOME DESIGN
Man Caves and Lady Lofts WHEN IT COMES TO CREATING A SPACE ALL FOR YOU—OKAY, AND MAYBE YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS— POSSIBILITIES ARE ONLY LIMITED BY YOUR IMAGINATION By Diane Love
The idea of carving out space in the home to make a solitary place your own is not new. Whether it’s a man cave, a lady loft, or a basement refuge, the fact is that humans naturally crave a space to retreat. For decades, these sorts of personal spaces were a luxury relegated mostly to the husband and kids. The men had garages or work sheds, and the kids had the rec room. Moms got the laundry room, or if they were fortunate, a small space for sewing, arts, and crafts. Things have changed. Modern homes showcase multiple spaces for each family member to make his or her own. These might be attic lofts, nooks under eaves, spare bedrooms, basements or retrofitted outbuildings. The latest architectural and decor trends make these spaces more sophisticated, stylish, and convenient than ever before. In fact, contemporary decor and technology options may just make your personal space the most unique and popular room in the home. Importantly, updating your home to reflect these trends may contribute significantly to the value of your home.
PROPRIETARY DECOR The man cave and the lady loft are defined and characterized by the individual who uses it most. Let your hobbies, interests, and passions determine not only how you use the space, but also how you decorate it. Start with a design theme. This could be a color or shape, a genre of music, a moment in time, an item you cherish, your favorite TV show, or even a geographical place you
SOURCING DECORATIVE ELEMENTS With the advent of big box decor stores like Great Gatherings, Home Goods, At Home and HomeSense, you can find affordable accessories to match your lifestyle. Boutique shops like Third Eye Comics, Local by Design, Annapolis Maritime Antiques, Wimsey Cove, and Here, A Pop Up Shop might have specialty items that appeal to you. Other places to find goods that may contribute to your theme are antique stores and consignment shops, both on the street and online.
This Annapolis basement Man Cave features fine art, reclaimed barnwood, integrated surround sound system, and a custom built fully stocked bar.
love. Your design theme will set the mood for you and your guests, so consider it carefully. Think about how to incorporate that theme into your space in both practical and whimsical ways. If you have an idea for a theme but are at a loss as for how to shop or use particular elements, consider an interior decorator. Not only do they have access to items not available in stores, but they also have the expertise for custom builds, sizing, placement, and value.
TECHNOLOGY There is the valid argument that technology is taking over our lives. But if ever there was a place for you to master the medium, it’s in the man cave or lady loft. If you can connect it to your electrical panel or manage it from your phone, just about any form of technology is available to make time in your oasis both relaxing and well spent. Apps are available to turn on lights, control the temperature, mechanize shades and curtains, and of course to order take out. whatsupmag.com | May 2019 | What’s Up? Annapolis

This home’s basement was taken over by his wife and children, so the owner decided to retrofit the garage. He needed a space to house his new car, sports gear and various household items. He wanted counter space for tinkering and a lounge area where his could enjoy the company of his children, neighbors and friends. California Closets designed custom floor-to-ceiling cabinets to accommodate small household appliances and tools. They also installed a bike rack. Built in cabinets house multimedia technology, a drink cooler and dishware. A local heating and air conditioning company installed the ductless HVAC unit that manages temperature and humidity all year long, making this a true indoor/ outdoor, multi purpose retreat.
This custom He Shed reflects the homeowner’s love for the landscape as well as vintage cars and motorcycles. Designed by Annapolis and Charlottesville, VA firm Purple Cherry Architects, this retreat showcases exceptional attention to every detail, from architectural design to high quality decor. The covered porch is a year-round extension of the He-Shed, allowing for more space to entertain or to simply while away an afternoon alone.

Voice control systems, surround sound, media devices, gaming consoles, gaming sofas, and chairs, or safes and home security are all technology-driven trends in electronics and entertainment. For help with advanced technology, turn to a savvy builder, electrician, interior decorator or to services like the Geek Squad from Best Buy.
SOUNDPROOFING If the idea of a retreat is to make it 100 percent your own, you might consider sound proofing. Doing the walls and ceilings can save the rest of your home from the roar of the TV, the yelling of avid sports fans, competitive ping pong players, and the clatter of video games. A good builder can help you choose the best soundproofing option for your needs. Many are not expensive nor complicated. 130

A CLEAN LOOK AND PLENTY OF STORAGE The modern cave, shed or loft offers plenty of light, lots of storage, and very little clutter. This is possible even in small spaces. Out goes wall-towall carpeting, plastic storage bins, and big chunky bookcases full of mismatched knick-knacks. In goes simple flooring like tiles or hardwoods, stylish shelving and hooks, rustic baskets or contemporary containers and a room free of disarray. Everything has a place, and every place looks well-organized, intentional and thoughtfully designed.
FULL KITCHENS Drink coolers are a given in most retreats. Contemporary man caves and lady lofts go a step further with full kitchens and efficient--if not beautiful--bars. Refrigerators, dishwashers, sinks with garbage disposals, a range and
Custom colored engineered floors Lighting is directional and intentional, whether on a track, recessed or through fixtures like sconces and chandeliers. Custom pool and ping pong tables, pinball machines and patio games Custom Closets and Shelving Sound Proofing, Integrated Surround Sound, Fully Stocked Bars Sectional Couches instead of arm chairs
all-in-one, under the counter washers and dryers are essential, even if they are apartment-sized. Plenty of cabinet and counter space for dishes and small appliances are imperative as well. If there’s outdoor access, a full grill, drink cooler, keg, and utensils that can be connected to wireless apps (such as thermometers and timers) add value to the experience and to your property.
STYLISH ACCESSORIES Who said man caves or lady lofts must be outfitted in stereotypical themes with cast-off decor? Today, these spaces tend to be sophisticated and even glamorous: fine art, luxurious window treatments, rich upholstery, and custom design elements all reflect the owner’s wish for more of a stylish oasis than merely a room to get away in. Even rooms that serve more than one purpose can be cleverly outfitted to hide workspaces and to pronounce design/build inspiration.
CLOSET CAVES If there’s not a shed, a garage or a basement handy, you might be able to transform a closet into a cave. Contemporary homes often feature dual oversized master suite closets, which could be retrofitted to accommodate writing and reading rooms, opulent dressing rooms and upgraded spaces to pursue passions like art or crafting. Companies like California Closets are experts at finding ways to utilize every inch of space. In fact, they can sometimes get down to measurements as small as ⅛ of an inch.
FINAL THOUGHT Today’s man caves and lady lofts are more than just randomly thrown together spaces. They are intentional, offer a plethora of technological conveniences and are design-focused. The ideal retreat should attempt to reflect the hobbies, interests, and passions of the person who will use it most. Contemporary design/ build trends offer comfort and convenience, the opportunity to call a space truly your own, and added value. whatsupmag.com | May 2019 | What’s Up? Annapolis

GARDEN DESIGN
Four Ways to Help Our Planet and Enhance Our Gardens By Janice F. Booth
Our gardens are coming into their own; like dewy teens, each daisy, rose, and azalea blossom reveals its fresh face to the spring sunshine. Sometimes, like me, you may be amazed at how that tiny plant you carefully tended last fall has emerged, glowing green with the promise of more beauty yet to be revealed. And then, occasionally, there’s a withered twig or stalk, all that remains of an old favorite plant that didn’t survive last winter’s winds. But, never mind. We’ll revel in the new and renewed life that’s ours to enjoy.
132
What’s Up? Annapolis | May 2019 | whatsupmag.com
Now that we’ve finished cleaning out winter’s detritus—made sure the garden is tidy, the plants are fed and mulched, trimmed and staked, it may be fun to consider another aspect of gardening, one that almost seems too obvious to mention. That aspect is ecology. Just for fun, let’s consider how effectively we are using the assets and agencies of the garden, and how we may do even more to lessen our ecological footprint and expand the positive impact our gardens can have in our ecosystem. I’m not suggesting you scan your property for stray aluminum cans or those nasty, ubiquitous plastic shopping bags. Rather, take a little time to consider how you harness your gardening to the needs of the planet, not in grand ways, but in small, incremental changes that please you and the earth.
THINK OF THIS AS “THE FOUR RS”:
REIMAGINING, RECLAIMING, REJUVENATING, RECYCLING.
REIMAGINING: Let’s begin with your imagination. Take a few minutes to review the items that have piled up in your basement, garage, and attic. Why not have some fun? Can some of that “stuff” be repurposed for the garden? How?
You don’t have to be Marcel Duchamp planting porcelain bathroom fixtures in the flower bed. Instead, consider what you might do with that old, wooden storm window. Could you remove the broken panes of glass and set up that window frame among your clematis vines? It might be lovely to see your lacy clematis weaving itself around the frame, with those plate-size purple and pink blossoms spilling out of the panes. Or, what about that old tricycle in the garage? If it’s past its useful life, why not plant it under that holly or oak tree? Is there a flowerpot or bike
basket that might be strapped to the bicycle seat or onto the handlebars? Fill that pot or basket with moss, some potting soil, and a couple bright geraniums or impatiens. Not only will the tricycle add a quaint charm to your garden, but it may also amuse your children with memories of their riding days. If you’re very clever with tools, as some lucky folks among us are, you may find some interesting old metal pieces—a section of wrought iron fence, an iron wheel, an old wash tub. Those oddsand-ends from the dump pile in the garage could be coerced—cut, bent, and soldered, into “junk art.” There’s an artist in Virginia, Sam Hundley, who has been creating “junk art” for a decade. His work is sought after, and he’s gotten very clever at visualizing what a rusty saw or an auto headlight might become. “Make someone feel something. That’s what I’m going for in my art work,” Hundley says. You can see his work at samhundley.com or look for him on the PBS website under “Artworks.” Pinterest is a great place to find inspiration for your own found art and garage-items makeovers too. RECLAIMING: A
second dimension of tuning up your garden to make it even
more ecologically responsible is repurposed material. There’s a useful, free brochure, “Bay-Friendly Guide to Recycled Content and Salvaged Materials.” It’s prepared for the San Francisco Bay area, but the recommendations are interesting and many suggestions could work as well in our Chesapeake Bay region. Did you know there is recycled paint, formulated from paints collected from commercial sources and recycle centers? The brochure even shares a “how-to.” It shows you how to select a few chunks of concrete and construct a handsome garden bench; virtually free and really quite impressive. You can download the short brochure at stopwaste.org/ resource/brochures.

GARDEN DESIGN
RECYCLING: A third amusing recycling project you might consider to diminish your eco-friendly garden’s footprint is to expand your “up-cycling.” (Up-cycling means repurposing recycled material so it is more useful and desirable.) Consider raising edible plants in unusual spots in your garden. British gardener and author Benedict Vanheems acknowledges the clever old-boot planter and the herb garden in a repurposed chest
of drawers. But, he also goes a bit further, with vertical gardening—to the roof. You might have a small potting shed or unused playhouse that would work well. Attach to the roof, wooden pallets with sheet plastic between the roof shingles and the pallets. Secure small planters of vining veggies or flowers between the slats, and watch your bean and gourd vines turn the roof of your potting shed into a flowing mane with dangling bean pods and small gourds spilling down the walls.
REJUVENATING: Finally, before you slip into that hammock or chaise lounge, let’s review a few ways you can use your recyclables to rejuvenate your garden during the busy summer months ahead. These aren’t new suggestions, you may be applying them already, but they may bear repeating:
Save your dryer lint and mix some into your potting soil or drop some lint into the hole when you transplant. The lint helps the soil retain water around the plants’ roots. Save, shred, and mix newsprint into your compost or lay newsprint beneath the mulch to deter weeds.

Tea leaves, banana peels, and coffee grinds around the base of your flowers, such as those daisies, zinnias, and roses, will give you more vibrant and profuse displays of flowers. (Of course, deadheading or pinching off dead blossoms helps too.) After boiling vegetables, let the water cool, then poor it among your plants to get one more good use of the nutrients from those veggies. Or, if you don’t want to wait for the water to cool before you pop that pan in the dishwasher, just poor the hot water on any of the sneaky weeds that are popping up around your deck or between the bricks in your walkway. They’ll wilt and you won’t. (No need to get down on your knees and pull out those weeds.) Whatever you do to enhance the ecological benefits of your garden, just remember that you have created a beautiful space where people, plants, insects, and birds can live in harmony. That’s an accomplishment to be savored!

his single-family home in Acton’s Landing overlooks the peaceful landscaping of a pocket park. In fact, while not technically a waterfront property, the upstairs rooms boast views of Spa Creek Cove from every window.
With over 5,000-square feet of elegant, yet comfortable, living space and an ideal location near downtown Annapolis, this home was the highest priced non-waterfront home sold in the city in 2018, according to listing agent Liz Heinsohn. “The market for luxury single-family homes in historic and downtown Annapolis remains very strong,” she says. “Buyers from outside the area realize that they can get a lot for their
money here compared to Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, or the Montgomery County suburbs.” Buyer’s agent Brian McTavish Wills of Keller Williams Select Realtors says the four criteria that sold this property included the water view, the location near Acton’s Landing, the private driveway, and the detached garage. “When [my clients] walked into this property, they immediately felt drawn to the combination of the modern, clean aesthetic, and the
parking lot of the old Anne Arundel Medical Center, an abandoned structure that was demolished in 2004 to make way for Acton’s Landing, a 4.5-acre, 106-unit residential development. This property location allowed the architects to take advantage of views over Acton Park and the water. The corner lot also afforded enough space for a lovely patio garden that genuinely feels like a peaceful respite from the vibrant restaurants, shops, and tourism just blocks away.

The front door opens to a foyer with a double-door vestibule. Here, the walls are clad with gorgeous floor-to-ceiling wooden paneling that is carved with intricate designs. Although it’s the most elegant entry, it is also practical: the marble tiling is safe from drips, and a line of curved bronze coat hooks set at eye level punctuate the paneling. This small touch indicates to guests that the house is quite unique. Stained glass doors mark the formal entry into the home. One large pane was taken initially from a chateau in the Loire region of France. Heinsohn and her clients found it at an antique store in St. Michaels. John Pilli separated the three glass panels, using two for the entry door and the other for a stunning window at the end of the main hall. The gourmet kitchen is an entertainer’s dream, with a six-burner Wolf stovetop, custom cabinetry, a butler’s station with a bar, and a long island that accommodates four. The kitchen opens to a family room just beyond and is connected to a long hallway that leads to other shared spaces. Upstairs, the master suite is remarkable for the gorgeous en suite bath complete with a spa tub and large steam shower. The suite also 140

features a sitting room and access to double balconies that overlook the park and waterfront. Four other bedrooms offer plenty of space for family, friends, and guests. “This home showed very well. It was just very well done,” Wills says. “The fact that the Annapolis water taxi will pick them up right here and the fact that they aren’t sharing the water view with any direct neighbors is extraordinary.” Heinsohn adds, “This home really is, in my opinion, one of the finest homes in town. There are only a handful of garages in historic Annapolis. Add the convenience of additional off-street parking, the location in Acton’s Landing, and water views, and anyone can see that this home is a rare find and the perfect fit for the discerning buyer.” This home originally listed for $2,795,000 and sold in 333 days for $2,330,000.

his property is bounded by Back Creek on one side and Spa Creek on the other, and is located in the Maritime Republic of Eastport. Eastport is defined by both geography and location. A naturally formed, nearly flat and narrow peninsula that juts into the Severn River, Eastport is surrounded by water and located just a short bridge’s length from historic downtown Annapolis.
Eastport also has its own colorful history. Long before Annapolis became synonymous with sailing and yachting, Eastport was home to watermen, boat builders, sail makers, marine engineers, and the laborers required to sustain all manner of traditional maritime enterprises. While the community is indelibly connected to Annapolis, it retains a distinct personality and whimsicality all on its own. The interior of the peninsula contains all manner of homes. Gentrification in the past two decades has brought significant renovation and reconstruction to formerly working class and farmhouses. It isn’t unusual to find a lowly bungalow sandwiched between a luxuriously appointed New England style home and an authentic Arts and Crafts masterpiece. Such is the case with this house, which includes a 3,240-square foot Craftsman design cloaked in cedar shake siding, off-street parking, and a separate two-car garage. The property is a
144
What’s Up? Annapolis | May 2019 | whatsupmag.com
perfect showcase for how builders and developers can conceptualize and create homes that are brand new, but that seem to fit timelessly into the history of a neighborhood. While the outside is striking for a cozy and welcoming front porch, a façade characterized by pillars typical of the Craftsman bungalow style and tidy landscaping, the inside exudes all the charm of a mid-century bungalow. Paned windows are set deep into the walls and set off by wide window trim thoughtfully designed with the sort of simplicity that is elegant and never goes out of style. All the windows—both upstairs and down—feature custom white shutters. The main level has four-inch plank cherry floors, wainscoting in the dining and sitting rooms, and construction details, like upgraded columns and custom fireplaces. The kitchen is the heart of this home. It is equipped with gourmet appliances like a stainless steel dual dishwasher, French door refrigerator, and six-burner range. The small center island is simply gorgeous, with a wood countertop and soft green cabinetry. On the main level, there is also a large screened porch that looks out to the side and back yards. The porch has a heart pine ceiling that is stained and sealed to match the front porch.
The three bedrooms upstairs each feature plenty of natural light via large picture windows. The tranquil master is sizeable, with an en suite double-sink bath, cherry wood floors, and views to the back yard and treetops. Two other bedrooms are defined by the eaves of the home, which offer an interesting architectural element. The soft beige carpeting and the unique design of the guest bedrooms lend a sense of coziness and retreat to these private spaces. The basement level is fully finished, with space for an office and second family room or rec room. While this home is sandwiched between other architecturally significant properties, it stands out for its mid-century Craftsman charm, offstreet parking, custom fence, porches, and modern amenities. The property attracted competitive offers and sold in 111 days for just slightly over the list price, a reflection of the real estate market in Eastport and the home’s unique features.

APHANTASIA, OR THE INABILITY TO CONJURING UP A MENTAL IMAGE, IS JUST STARTING TO GAIN ATTENTION AS A MEDICAL CONDITION
P
By Kelsey Casselbury
icture this: a beautiful sunset. Your child’s face. A bouquet of roses. Most people don’t have a problem conjuring up these images in their mind, but some folks lack what’s colloquially known as “the mind’s eye,” or the ability to picture people, places, and things in your mind without much—if any—difficulty. There are those that live without it, though, experiencing a condition that was just given a name in mid-2015: Aphantasia.
150
What’s Up? Annapolis | May 2019 | whatsupmag.com
Named after the Greek word phantasia, which Aristotle used to describe imagination or visual imagery, aphantasia isn’t well-understood or even much-studied. Though the idea of a person not having a mind’s eye first showed up in the 1880s with scientist Francis Galton, it wasn’t studied in modern times or even named until a few years ago. Those who have it probably don’t even realize it. Typically, it’s something they’ve had their entire lives, though occasionally it first shows up after a medical event, such as a stroke. Aphantasia doesn’t seem to stifle a person’s creativity. Like with other conditions that affect the brain, the affected person seems to find coping mechanisms, which may be part of the reason why it’s not quickly recognized. Besides, the ability to describe features of something isn’t necessarily impacted. For example, when asked to describe their spouse, someone with aphantasia can likely quickly rattle off their features: Tall. Brown hair. Green eyes. Broad shoulders. They’ve learned these features while looking at their spouse; they just cannot conjure them up in their brain when their spouse isn’t around. What’s the big deal, then? Sometimes, understanding that there’s a name for the way your brain works and that it affects other people, too, is one of those coping mechanisms. Additionally, early research indicates there may be levels, or subgroups, of aphantasia diagnoses. Some people might also experience prosopagnosia, or the difficulty in recognizing faces of people they already know, or have an issue with remembering events in their life, referred to as autobiographical memory. For those people, a visit to a health professional might help them create coping mechanisms, so it doesn’t negatively impact their lives.

Who do you work out with? My brother works out with me. He’s the magician behind all of it. I like his plans and like what he’s saying, and he incorporates stuff that I can carry with me onto the field. The Bayhawks also have some local guys; sometimes Nick Manis [short stick defensive midfielder] and I will work out together—it’s just finding the time and figuring out where we will meet. Sometimes, during the season, we’ll go back to College Park [Heacock and Manis are both Maryland alumni] to work out.
Chesapeake Bayhawks’ attackman/midfielder Colin Heacock knows he’s living a dream. Raised just outside of Baltimore in Catonsville, Heacock grew up watching the Bayhawks—who began as the Baltimore Bayhawks in 2001. He loves that his friends and family can see his games in Annapolis at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium so easily. However, as he enters his third season with the Major League Lacrosse team, Heacock also understands that staying in shape for peak performance is vital. He puts his trust in his older brother, Ryan, to give him a solid workout nearly every day of the week. They have been working out together since high school.
Walk us through a typical workout. We’ll be in there between an hour and a half to two hours, depending on what my brother has planned. We’ll get in there and start by warming up our muscles to loosen up the body, then lift. I try not to do the same thing every single workout, so one week we’ll do something like back and biceps and then chest and triceps. The next week, he’ll

mix it up and do chest and legs. Then we’ll get a little bit of cardio in there. What type of cardio do you prefer? There’s one called an Assault AirBike—it gets everything. It kills your body. But we’ll run on the treadmill, or we’ll go outside and run on the field and shoot a little bit. Do you do anything differently during the lacrosse season, compared to during the off-season? During the season, I stretch a little bit more. If we play on a Saturday, I probably won’t lift weights on a Sunday. Instead, I’ll go down to College Park to see my trainer, Anthony. He’ll help me recover, so the following week I can go back to lifting weights, shooting, and be at 100 percent. How do your workouts have an impact on your on-field performance? My only job right now is lacrosse. (I have to) stay in tip-top shape, so that I can perform at my best. Some days, you don’t really feel like doing it but it feels rewarding after. By the time the season comes around, you’ve been taking care of your body, and it prevents injuries. It plays a huge role in my performance.

Health Report HEALTH OFFICIALS RELEASE NEW EXERCISE GUIDELINES The Department of Health and Human Services recently updated its expert recommendations for physical activity, urging American adults to move more. Initially released in 2008, “Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans” no longer states that a person should exercise for at least 10 minutes for it to count toward weekly activity, but rather says that any type of movement counts. The main message: Move more, sit less. Other recommendations haven’t changed much. They still say to get at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week—that’s between two hours and 30 minutes and 5 hours—like brisk walking or swimming or 75 minutes to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercises, such as running. Combine that with muscle-strengthening and balance exercises for a well-rounded physical activity program.

STUDY SHOWS FEWER AMERICANS DYING FROM CANCER Deaths from cancer in the U.S. have dropped over the past 25 years by 27 percent, for a total of 2.6 million fewer deaths than what would have been expected since 1991. However, cancer is still one of the top three killers of Americans, along with heart disease and accidents or unintentional injuries, and its prevalence seems to be growing globally. The study, which was published in CA: A Cancer Journal
for Clinicians, also found significant disparities in cancer death between the rich and poor. Between 2012 and 2016, for example, overall cancer death rates were 20 percent higher for those who live in the most impoverished counties compared with those who live in the highest-income counties. Although African Americans still have a higher mortality rate from cancer than white Americans, the gap has been closing since the mid-1990s.

Massages seem to complement other treatments, which can include NSAIDs, cortisone injections, and physical therapy. The research was published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine and compared the effect of massage on those who got a onehour weekly Swedish massage to those who had a light-touch treatment or no treatment at all. After eight weeks, those who got the regular massage had significant improvements in pain, stiffness, and physical function.

All About That Base
INNOVATIONS IN FOUNDATION INCLUDE A WIDER VARIETY OF SHADES, PROTECTION FROM POLLUTION, AND BETTER COVERAGE OPTIONS By Kelsey Casselbury
The beauty industry certainly is glamorous, but it’s not always exciting—not when companies stick with the same old formulations and hues. When there are innovations, though, it can feel ground-breaking. Right now, some of the most exciting innovations in the makeup industry don’t belong to colorful eyeshadows or dramatic false eyelashes, but rather that old workhorse—your foundation. The base makeup is tasked with some heavy lifting when it comes to covering and evening out your complexion, but companies haven’t always given the category a close look to see how formulations could be improved. That meant limited shades, uneven coverage, and formulations that seemed to slide off the face by the end of your morning meeting. Luckily for all women who think their skin could use a little cosmetic boost, that’s changing.
A BETTER MATCH FOR EVERYONE
In the past 18 months, there’s one brand that, without a doubt, has had the most significant impact on the beauty industry: Fenty Beauty. The line, created by R&B singer Rihanna, launched in 2017 with 40 shades that run the gamut of skin complexions from fair to deep. “When you think of diverse shade ranges, Fenty Beauty takes the cake,” celebrity makeup artist Michanna Murphy says. “It’s typically standard for foundation brands to release no more than 20 foundation shades.” Other companies have taken notes from Fenty, upgrading their own lines to be more inclusive of a wide diversity in shades.
ANTI-POLLUTION PROTECTION
Foundation hasn’t generally been thought of as a defense against the pollutants in the air, but why not? “Brands are introducing foundations that are “anti-pollution,” an important innovative step that’s turning foundation from just a makeup must-have into an essential skincare step,” beauty blogger Kelly Baum from A Thing of Beauty says. “Anti-pollution foundation is formulated with minerals and antioxidants that provide a protective shield against common pollutants, similar to how SPF protects the skin from UV rays.” 154
What’s Up? Annapolis | May 2019 | whatsupmag.com
COVERAGE CUSTOMIZATION
Beyond finding the right shade, one of the trickiest aspects of using foundation is getting the coverage right. Some tinted moisturizers only work on ladies with the most flawless of skin, but heavy coverage isn’t appealing unless you’re a news anchor under bright lights with a camera in your face. Full-coverage liquid foundations are certainly still an option, and tinted moisturizers aren’t going anywhere, but the import of BB creams from Asia and the introduction of CC (color-correcting) creams, plus a wealth of other options, mean that you can find the coverage that’s right for you.
CLEAN INGREDIENTS
Between 2013 and 2017, sales of “natural” personal care products increased 2.1 percent—that’s a whopping $230 million, according to data from The Nielsen Company. Of course, manufacturers are going to take notice of numbers like that. Consumers are voting with their dollars and, more and more frequently, they’re saying that they want a cleaner ingredient list. This is particularly true for foundation, which is slathered all over the face. You just have to make sure that the brand’s “all-natural” label means what you want it to, given the lack of regulations surrounding these definitions.

Join the Shrub Club A LONG-CONSUMED VINEGAR-BASED BEVERAGE WITH POTENTIAL HEALTH BENEFITS IS BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT By Kelsey Casselbury
Move over, apple cider vinegar—there’s a new trend in drinking vinegar, and this one appeals to teetotalers and cocktail lovers alike. Shrubs, a vinegar and fruit syrup with purported health benefits, traces its American roots to the Colonial era, but is appearing once again on fashionable drink menus. The name “shrub” doesn’t refer to any sort of bush but rather the Arabic word, “sharbah,” which means “to drink.” It’s a syrup made from macerating fruit and sugar, then adding vinegar. There’s a lot of wiggle room for using what you have in the fridge or pantry, whether it’s blueberries and red wine 156

vinegar or peaches and apple cider vinegar. While the vinegary syrup can be mixed with sparkling water for a tart non-alcoholic beverage, some like to spike the drink with a neutral spirit, such as vodka or clear rum to make a refreshing cocktail. The health benefits of shrubs, boozy or not, are similar to those of drinking apple cider vinegar, though research is limited on both. There are a few small studies out there that show that drinking apple cider vinegar may help control blood sugar levels, which is helpful for people who have type 2 diabetes. Vinegar has antifungal and antibacterial properties—which is why it shows up so often in homemade cleaning solutions—and that can be of benefit to people who regularly develop fungal infections, like Candida. However, given the sugary nature of shrubs, it’s probably best to consider shrubs to be enjoyable sips rather than potential medicine.
Peach Shrub
Serves 3 to 4 2 cups roughly chopped peaches, skins removed 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar 4 cups sparkling water 4 ounces vodka or rum, optional
In a large bowl or pitcher, combine the peaches and sugar. Cover the container with plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator, and let it sit for at least six hours or up to two days. Remove the container from the refrigerator, and strain the syrup that’s been created into another pitcher. Discard the fruit. Add the vinegar to the syrup and whisk to combine. To make a drink, add 2 tablespoons of the vinegar mixture to 1 cup sparkling water. Taste and add more to match your taste preferences. Add 1 ounce of vodka or rum, if desired. Store the unused shrub mixture in the refrigerator for up to one month.

1. “The product smells sweet, almost like berries. It glides on smooth without being sticky or heavy. The color is still light enough to be flattering and neutral. By the end of the day, my lips were soft and still stained with the color. Jane Iredale products have never failed me, so I’m looking forward to exploring my options with other colors.” —Beauty Buzz Member Jennifer Smith, 38, Gambrills
2. “This product immediately permeates the skin and leaves your face feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed. It makes me feel fancy and I love that cute little bees are partially to thank for such an awesome sensation. My skin feels soft, smooth, and radiant.” —Beauty Buzz Member Jillian Amodio, 28, Annapolis
3. “I have never tried liquid eyeliner because I thought there was too much margin for error. I was completely wrong. I found this to actually be far better and easier to use than my normal pencil. The applicator is so precise and the eyeliner glides on so smoothly. I got the perfect look with one swipe, and added another for a more dramatic look. I can’t believe it took me so long to discover this!” —Beauty Buzz Member Denise Hadden, 37, Severna Park

Traditions and Trends on Point YOUR HEART’S DESIRE CAN FEAST AT THIS ANNAPOLIS MAINSTAY
C
By James Houck Photography by Stephen Buchanan
afé, bistro, Old World ambiance—if this is what you seek in a dining experience, look no further than Main & Market, located along the shuffle of Forest Drive toward the Annapolis Neck peninsula. Though the City’s dining scene has shown signs of life as of late, with several new additions and ethnic nods, Main & Market has successfully offered its three-prong approach to cultural, coastal, and café cuisine for nearly 20 years. Unassuming as you pull into the parking lot within the strip shopping center it’s located, the restaurant (whose catering arm of the company is highly-acclaimed) offers a warm embrace through the front doors, with a vibe that gently reminded me of a breakfast eatery I frequented in Amsterdam during a spring break trip many moons ago (the Pancake Bakery, which is glorious). Or, maybe it was the quaint, glowing parlor in Venice that I conjured. The spirit of a Brooklyn coffee shop can also be felt, or a Chelsea wine bar. You see, Main & Market feels like the culmination of these distinctive atmospheres—all bottled up into a charming dining experience, that can be enjoyed at any time of day, from breakfast through dinner. Want to have an espresso and chit-chat? (I did, it was excellent). Perhaps a glass of pinot noir and small plates? (There’s bar seating perfect for that). For the full experience, I recommend committing to a multicourse meal, which we did on our most recent visit.

Arriving with my family a day shy of St. Patrick’s on an unseasonably warm March evening, I was in good spirits and appreciated the friendly greeting and prompt seating by the host staff. We had the pick of the room—which features minimalist café tables with wrought ironframed chairs or cozier booths (we chose the latter)—and settled in. With nary a glance at the menus, our server Chris arrived on cue and took our drink orders—fresh ice teas around and whole milk for the two little ones. If adult beverages are your fancy, Main & Market has a robust list of red and white wines, all served by the glass or bottle. Premium domestic and import beers are also available (had I chosen a brew, I would have selected Newcastle or a Heavy Seas IPA). And all manner of coffee concoctions is brewed, steamed, and pulled inhouse. I needed a jolt, so a single shot of espresso was called upon, served in its tiny, porcelain demitasse. Delicious and perky. Chris returned and she took our second round of orders—appetizers, from which all options are tantalizing. We were in a surf-and-turf mood—or maybe the menu pushed us in that direction with its range of small plates that made stars out of lump crabmeat, Korean pork, lamb, shrimp, and oysters. We happily chose two starters: Lamb Lollipops and Baked Buffalo and Blue Cheese Oysters. Our main courses would follow suit, selected from a dinner menu that presents a smart division of options into: Main & Market Traditions (think meatloaf, crabcakes, chicken au poivre, herb crusted salmon); Selections (cuts of beef, fish); Small Plates (aforementioned); Short Plates (reduced portions of favorites); Sandwiches (there’s even grilled vegetarian Italian sausage); Salads (all manner and mix of greens, proteins, embellishments); and Pastas (five tempting options that nearly hooked us, including Avery Island Pasta with sautéed bacon, scallops, sweet corn kernels, and green onions finished in a smoked tomato alfredo sauce and tossed with linguini pasta and parmesan cheese). We opted for the Crabcake Short Plate and the Hunter Filet, eager to sample the restaurant’s take on two longtime favorites we reserve for special occasions, whether cooking in or dining out. Alas, we did not request a cup of the famous Hungarian Mushroom Soup, so this is the obligatory note on that; having been sampled on past visits, this robust concoction is a must-try for first-timers. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that you’ll be served a whole loaf of warm sourdough bread upon seating, and butter to accessorize it with—its easy to reach for between dishes, but you’ll want to save your appetite for the good stuff. Our two children—which I must say were very well accommodated, and behaved themselves somewhat decently—had their sights set on a

cheeseburger (selecting cheddar for its crown) and penne pasta (selecting alfredo for its sauce). Each was a homerun— elevated dishes with gourmet quality and enhanced flavor. The beef burger with thick blanket of cheddar on a brioche bun was devoured. And the alfredo sauce for the pasta was a homemade hit—an obvious and delicious bechamel base with Parmesan cheese whisked and melted within. It really was divine simplicity (yes, I sampled and yes, I had to restrain myself). Frenched and sliced into individual, well…lollipops…the lamb arrived first, as did the piping hot oysters. The lamb was served drizzled with a mint and mustard sauce—a balanced sweet ’n sour approach to taming the lamb’s pronounced flavor. With a touch of grilling, the “pops” were succulent little treats. Delish. The oysters wouldn’t play second fiddle though. Each morsel was served on the half-shell, grilled, and punctuated with a dash of hot pepper sauce and melted crumbles of blue cheese—an unctuous slurp of brine, heat, and earthy creaminess, which made our eyes roll toward heaven. Divine. Just moments after the finished plates were picked off the table, our main courses were set down. Judging a crabcake is a very individual experience; purists prefer a cake of lump meat with little-to-no filler, bound with mayonnaise/ egg, and a dash of Bay seasoning (borderline crab imperial). Others are fans of a 50/50 mix of backfin meat and crushed cracker that hold seasoning and non-traditional ingredients better, allowing for eclectic flavor profiles. I’m not one to stray far from tradition, so the crabcake presented was a
pleasing dish that held mostly true to Chesapeake roots with lump and backfin crabmeat, and just-enough filler, altogether accentuated with locally-loved Bay seasoning and parsley. Served with a side salad of fresh arugula, cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumbers enveloped in a citrus vinaigrette, this plate satisfied but didn’t sit heavy. Would order again. It could be said that the seven-ounce Hunter Filet is worth its weight in gold—that would make it an $8,995 dish at today’s market rate. Thankfully, at $27 per plate, this rich dish can be enjoyed without spending a fortune (every dish is fairly priced in this reviewer’s opinion). The cut of filet mignon was lightly-seared and likely finished under the broiler to the desired doneness—for me, medium rare. Smothered in a red wine demiglace sauce, complete with soft coins of wild mushroom (how wild they were I could not tell), and a smidgeon of gorgonzola cream as a topper, this tender filet transported me to Dorf Tirol, a tiny village tucked in the Dolomites where German, Austrian, and Italian heritage comingles. I lived there for four months and heartwarming, homemade dishes of this sort were the norm. So, kudos to Main & Market for a properly cooked, robustly flavored dish that offered meaning behind every bite. Bonus points for the side of fried cheddar polenta triangles that perfectly sopped up the remains of the hearty sauce. Had we enjoyed enough? Not quite. I wanted to see how wide my daughter’s eyes would get if we brought the dessert tray to the table. Oh, they grew alright. And so did our near-full appetites, just enough to split a very large slice of cake between the four of us. Birthday Cake was the chosen slice (traditional yellow cake with a white butter cream icing and sprinkles), among several options that include various takes on chocolate, coconut, velvet, and peanut butter.
6
By dinner’s end, we all felt jolly and satiated with a dopamine fog that comes when feasting with the best company, splendid food, and an atmosphere capable of transporting you to your heart’s desire. Well done Main & Market, which, oh by the way, can bring the experience to you with their stellar catering service—winners of What’s Up? Annapolis’ Best Caterer award several years running. Dine in or dine out—there’s a Main & Market for that.

1 DINING TASTE
Three-level Restaurant Has Huge Upside By Tom Worgo Photography by Steve Buchanan
M
angia Italian Grill & Sports Bar provides a big “wow” factor. Sitting on the second floor, diners can watch the boats gliding in and out of Ego Alley while partaking the restaurant’s delicious food. Mangia offers a variety of services. The first floor is dedicated to carryout, especially their housemade pizza. There’s an eye-catching bar on the second floor and more seating for dinner on the third floor.
There’s a lot more on the way in the future. “The upside of the restaurant is huge,” explains Mangia manager Sean Perdomall, noting major renovations slated for early 2020. “We will have pretty much everything you could ask for in a restaurant.” In the meantime, the restaurant, in coming months, will add to its appeal by featuring trivia night, live musicians, karaoke night, and drink specials most evenings. “If residents don’t have something to do (during the week), they can think of us as a place to go to,” Perdomall says. “They know they are going to get good hospitality, good food, and a warm environment.” 166

We recently sat down with the 27-year-old Perdomall to talk about Mangia’s creative menu, what makes the restaurant different, plans for the future, and owner Diana Melgar, who bought the restaurant in December 2016 from the Priola family. What is the best-selling dish? I would say the Chicken Parmigiana. It’s a traditional Italian dish. It’s one of the main reasons people come in here. We get a lot of athletes in here, and they are looking to eat carbohydrates. It’s the perfect go to. It’s all in the sauce, and if you have a good one, people will continue to order it. What are the other customer favorites? Chicken Marsala. It’s really good. It’s made with Marsala wine and mushrooms
in a great brown sauce and pasta. It’s really popular. If you dine here and decide not to eat Italian, what do you recommend? Our burgers are pretty good for an Italian place. They put prosciutto on it. It’s more like an Italian-style burger. It’s a go to. The Mangia salad is really popular. It has pine nuts, roasted peppers, and fresh mozzarella. You can get grilled chicken or salmon on it. I know you are excited about the new special events. Do you expect trivia to be a draw? Yes. We are going to do trivia again with drink specials. We used to have trivia. It was pretty popular. We had a lot of Navy people come in for it. It will give people something to do that is engaging with others.
What has the current owner brought to the restaurant?

For us to keep in mind that respecting customers is of the utmost importance, and providing good service and good food. She has been an entrepreneur most of her life. She owns one of the largest transportation companies in Peru with limousines, travel buses, and vans. When important people go there, it’s one of the companies they use. What challenges did the owner face in taking over the restaurant? Everybody knew the old owner (Maria), and they loved her. It changed hands, and we had to get her regular customers to stay or come back. But the excellent food stayed the same and the hard-working cooks stayed. How are things different under the current owner?

5
We changed the interior. We have added paintings throughout the entire restaurant. The owner definitely felt she could add a different kind of touch to the upstairs. I think it adds authenticity to it. You get to see what an Italian landscape looks like at our Italian eatery. There is a lot of Italian restaurants in the area. How are you different? We have a really great location, and we standout through our food and service. We offer discounts. We make sure we ask the customers about their experience. I ask, “How did we do tonight?” We really want to get feedback instead of having to rely on reviews.
Mangia Italian Grill & Sports Bar 81 Main Street., Annapolis 410-268-1350
We really make sure things look good whether it’s downstairs in the to-go area or dining upstairs. What discounts do you offer customers? We have Groupon. If the customers are local or from downtown, we often give out 10 percent coupons to come back for the next meal. Can you talk about the expansion set for January? It’s going to be a major remodeling. We are going to be shut down for a month or two. I have been here two years, and people still don’t know about the upstairs. The layout downstairs and because of carry out, it doesn’t show you can come upstairs. That is going to be addressed in the remodel. So, people come in and see the stairs immediately, and say, “Let’s go upstairs.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Social Status By Ellen Moyer
t was the time of the “Robber Barons,” America’s Gilded Age. It was 1870 and fortunes were being amassed in this upstart nation that, only 100 years before, had, against all odds, defeated the world’s superpower. The new nation surged ahead, experiencing the fastest growth rate in history of wealth and real wages. With 500 new patents for new inventions, America was a world leader in innovation. But that wasn’t all. America’s business tycoons, our captains of industry, positioned the nation’s wealth as No. 1 in the world, once again surpassing our rival Britain. Though great inequality of income existed and the nation grappled with issues of immigration, employee rights, health, and education, the social mores were being set to define American culture. Thanks to the business tactics of our new tycoons in an already restless population, Americans would become the most competitive nation on the globe. We were winners and we strove to maintain it. Thanks to leadership like Andrew Carnegie’s, “Gospel of Wealth,” a precedent was set for the rich to give back to society as a whole (he founded more than 3,000 libraries). The USA would lead the world in charitable contributions. Building museums, hospitals, universities, and supporting the growth of our national parks, the wealthy formed a nation where availability of social culture was inclusive for all. But this was also a time of conspicuous consumptions and leisure, exclusive in nature, establishing an elite that fostered one leg up ethos to get ahead. This was the domain of the wives of the industrial tycoons. It was the women that brought us The Breakers, a Vanderbilt mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, and parties at $3,000 a head, debutante balls, the Easter parade displaying hats and jewels, and coach parades with the best of matching horses. Ward McAllister, a southerner, considered by some a snob, who had visited and studied the social mores of the European courts, began remodeling the social life and style of entertainment in America by creating society’s Select Four Hundred. (Today, Forbes magazine publishes the world’s wealthiest 400 people annually.) Caroline Astor was chosen as society’s leader. Her annual ball on the third Monday in January was the most exclusive social event of the year. The nouveau riche and debutantes waited anxiously for an invitation. To be excluded from Mrs. Astor’s ball sent mothers and daughters on trips to the Adirondacks or Europe to escape the humiliation of being ignored.

What’s Up? Annapolis | May 2019 | whatsupmag.com
Irving Berlin’s lyrics “in your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it, you will be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade,” pretty well describes the competitive nature of society at the time. Every woman wanted to be the grandest. They married their daughters to the dukes of England to acquire titles that Lady Astor could not ignore on her invite list. They built grand homes up and down Fifth Avenue and in Newport. They bought the most elegant clothes from leading designers and sported jewels of pearls and precious gems to outdo one another. This was the hierarchy of prestige, a ranking among the best, the finest, the most cultured, standing head and shoulders above another. This was status, competitive at its core. The age of conspicuous consumption seen today in the mansions of Newport is gone. But the notion of ways to get ahead has not left us. The recent scandal of bribery to secure sons and daughters in America’s prestigious universities to give them a leg up on a resume for their future employment is a wrinkle of the social norms set by Mrs. Astor and her social competitor Mrs. Vanderbilt. Today’s wealth is associated with corporate heads, of people of power and authority with access to education and leisure. An Ivy League background gives one a leg up on the prestige scale for achieved status. There are still some who enjoy status by virtue of birth, but great family wealth with individuals rarely surpasses three generations— though great foundations, such as Rockefeller, continue
one century after the breakup of Standard Oil to provide a resource for innovation. There are other forms of achieving recognition and prestige. St. Patrick’s Day parades, which date back 400 years, bestows upon a whole class of people a standing marked by pride in their ancestral homeland and culture; the other end of the spectrum is MS13. In the end, we all seek status, a standing of recognition and prestige. It may be unduly competitive and ruthless to be No. 1 in what is deemed necessary in today’s society, such as money, but in our less exclusive more inclusive society, social status is not a one-way street as it was with Caroline Astor and Ward McAllister’s Select Four Hundred. It is far more complicated and includes recognition as artists, nonprofit champions, elected leaders, sports champions, and, even, criminals. In a matter of standing, it may, therefore, behoove us all to recognize the positive worth of those around us no matter our differences.
