publisher From the

Today, our Annapolis magazine trends between 160 and 192 pages, all in color. West County is similar in color, but trends a little lighter in page count at about 124 to 140. 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.

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 inhome office with incredible water views and private decks. $649,000.” My, how the world has changed!

“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.”

This issue is exciting as we announce the 2019 Best of West County winners for food and dining! I always find some place that I haven’t tried before and now that the summer is finally beginning, it’s a great time to get out and try something new. We also have a treasure trove of so many events and festivals scheduled out to the end of this year; you will be very busy and certainly not bored. Another section, Leading Lawyers, is good and important information worthy of saving, and Women Trailblazers, home, health and beauty, and the calendar are certainly worth a read.

Enjoy yourselves and we hope you will enjoy your May issue as well!

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.

Photo by Steve Buchanan Photography

Snider, who received her PhD in the history of science and medicine from the University of Chicago, was a freelance health science writer before becoming an activist. She is the author of several books, and a former associate editor of Journal of the American Medical Association.

TOWNE SALUTE

Terra Ziporyn Snider Start School Later

T 16

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.

What’s Up? West County | May / June 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.”

“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.”

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.

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.

 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. For more information and to join the service, visit Petparentsplace.com.

What’s Up? West County | May / June 2019 | whatsupmag.com

But spearheading a Christmas gift drive as editor of the Key Club, a national service organization, touched Evans’ heart the most.

For the two past holiday seasons, the 18-yearold Evans and her fellow classmates along with the help of the Salvation Army packed a car full of gifts to give to families who couldn’t afford them for their children. “It was emotional,” she explains. “It was an incredible feeling seeing their smiles and knowing you made a difference in someone’s life.”

She also brings smiles to her family and friends’ faces playing the guitar. It seems that she’s always playing it around the house. Evans first took up the guitar in the fifth grade, and performing in two talent shows in middle school only got her more interested. “I just love music, and I have always liked singing,” Evans

says. “It’s really relaxing to go into my own room, just escape and be in my own world. I play a whole range of music—a lot of country and pop songs.”

In addition to her charitable work and achievements in athletics, she is always sharply focused on academics. She has a list of seven schools, with Penn State, Lehigh, and William & Mary topping it. The 5-foot-8 Evans considered playing basketball in college; however, her priority in finding a school came down to one “that I liked academically.”

She’s taken seven advanced placement classes over the past two years, including Spanish, calculus, environmental science, and U.S. government and politics. “If I liked the school, I would look into their basketball program if they were Division III, I would look into it,” adds Evans, who is interested in majoring in business management. “It didn’t seem to present itself.”

The highlight of Evans’ basketball career came January 4th when she surpassed the 1,000-point mark durring a blowout win in Crownsville over Chapelgate of Howard County. “It was a really awesome feeling,” Evans says. “I set a goal as a freshman of doing that, but it was really far away. I thought it was a stretch.”

The forward started for four years on the varsity and

helped Indian Creek to an Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland C Conference championship by averaging a team-high 17 points per game.

Evans also scored 17 points a game as a junior, but new Coach Ciaran Lesikar wanted her to develop into a more well-rounded player.

She answered the challenge, averaging 14.3 points, seven steals, five rebounds, and three assists.

So many of her steals lead to easy points. “She is a phenomenal defender,” Lesikar says. “She knows where players are going with the ball and she gets her hands on so many balls. She really helps us on offense and defense.”

Evans, a midfielder, didn’t take up field hockey until high school, but she quickly became one of Indian Creek’s best players. She was named the team’s Most Improved Player as a freshman and its Most Outstanding the following season.

The four-year varsity starter capped her career by earning SecondTeam All-County honors as a senior and leading Indian Creek with six goals. She also scored two goals in the Maryland State Senior game at Archbishop Spalding in midNovember. “I have been coaching for 20 years, and she is one of the most gifted athletes I have ever coached,” Indian Creek Field Hockey Coach Jesse Larson says. “She definitely

could have played Division III college field hockey. She only played for three months a year. She scores amazing goals and makes passes people don’t expect. If she had played year-round, she could have played Division I.”

ECONOMICS & FINANCE

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.

Senior Dog Sanctuary of Maryland • 8336 WB&A Road, Severn, MD 21144 • 443-742-0270 • www.seniordogsanctuary.com

Senior Dog Sanctuary of Maryland

HELP US HELP THEM

The Senior Dog Sanctuary (SDS) addresses the needs of the most underserved canine population, senior dogs. Our doors opened in 2016. The current facility can house 23 senior dogs. Others are cared for in foster homes. We have rescued, rehabilitated, and re-homed over 500 seniors who were stray or owner surrendered, many from municipal shelters.

OUR NEXT STEP: We want to build a 40K sf multipurpose facility to care for up to 200 senior pups at a time, with onsite primary veterinary care to meet their health and rehabilitation needs. And for the community, we will create a leading-edge, specialty diagnostic and treatment center available to the public at reasonable cost. This includes specialized canine cancer care, and assessment and training to remediate behavioral issues. This new vision is what we call SDS 2.0.

But we need your help.

38

What’s Up? West County | May / June 2019 | whatsupmag.com

The FIRST STEP in our NEXT STEP: WE NEED A PARCEL OF LAND! ...to accommodate our new 40K sf Senior Canine Care Center.

SDS is a 501(c)3 animal welfare organization.

Donations are tax deductible (brokers protected).

When first envisioned, we wanted to establish a working model of senior dog rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing.

We had to do it from soup to nuts. In the last three years we’ve accomplished this, becoming a reliable resource in the rescue community. Now we are ready to bring a higher level of care to a larger scale. The need is great. As the leader of our pack, I invite you to visit the current facility, meet the folks and the dogs, and let’s talk about how you can help us realize the vision of SDS 2.0. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

48

What’s Up? West County | May / June 2019 | whatsupmag.com

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 / June 2019 | What’s Up? West County

49

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.

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.

or more than 35 years we have focused exclusively on the law of estates and trusts. Some firms offer, or claim to offer, a wide variety of services to clients. We do not.

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.

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.

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.

LAWYER

Corporate and Estate Planning for Individuals, Families, and Businesses.

T

he Fisher Law Office has been engaged in the West Anne Arundel County Community since joining the West County Chamber of Commerce in 2011. Randy Fisher has served as chairman of the West County Chamber and was a leader in creating the chamber’s merger with the Baltimore Washington Corridor Chamber of Commerce that completed in January of 2017, creating one of the largest chambers of commerce in the state of Maryland. That effort, in creating one of the more effective voices for business in the state, showed the firm’s ability to work with clients in whatever form to adapt to change.

“Our firm works with everyone from the individual to the complex family and businesses that range from garage-tech 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.”

Estate Planning. In addition to corporate transactions, the Fisher Law Office provides essential estate plans for small, medium or large families.

“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 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.”

Estate Administration. When that change finally does come, 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. The Fisher Law Office makes the job more manageable by assisting you in every facet of the process.

Asset Protection. Growth, a well chose opportunity and financial success sometimes comes with a dark-side risk. The Fisher Law Office can provide diverse options for clients who have had this success by guiding them on choices on asset protection. This is 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 husband and wife irrevocable trust choices to more complex domestic asset protection trusts for higher wealth individuals to eliminate the threat of most lawsuits by removing the claimant’s economic incentive to sue.”

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 leadin peer review organization.

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.

Why should I use an attorney to prepare my Will when I can create my own Will using an internet service?

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.

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.

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.

How do I know if the injury or death was malpractice or a complication of the procedure?

In general, it is malpractice if the injury or “bad outcome” could have been prevented or should have been avoided. On the other hand, if the healthcare provider acted reasonably and took reasonable precautions and an injury resulted anyway, the injury might be a known complication. Determining whether an injury was malpractice or a known complication often involves an expert opinion by another healthcare provider in the same or similar area of medicine and your attorney will investigate the care and treatment to determine this answer.

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.

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.

What is a Special Needs Trust?

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.

5 BUSINESSWOMEN AND 50 YEARS OF TRIUMPH

or women born after 1980, it may be hard to fathom a time when these rights and opportunities were unattainable. Yet this was America—just 50 years ago.

This year, flush with a dramatic increase in the number of women in elected offices locally and nationally, it is easy to forget the strides of decades past. It was 170 years ago in Seneca Falls, New York that Elizabeth Cady Stanton, mother of four, and Lucretia Mott, Quaker abolitionist, held the very first gathering of women’s rights and started a wave that continues today.

Successive waves ushered in the 1960s “Women’s Liberation Movement.” A Western World groundswell, it produced many of the equalities and freedoms women now enjoy.

And the movement has never stopped. What’s known as the “Fourth Wave”—which includes the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements—has toppled more than 200 powerful men in positions across nearly every industry. On January 21st, 2017, fueled by anger and resentment, the Women’s March heralded a new era of female leadership. More than 100 women now serve in Congress, the largest number in history. In Maryland, some 71 women serve in the General Assembly, including 30 newly-elected representatives. And in Anne Arundel County, the county council has the first female majority ever.

In wide-ranging interviews, What’s Up? Media set out to discover the impact of these sweeping movements through the stories of five leading area women. Each is known for her success in business or industry. Each is a daughter of decades of struggle and triumph. Although most shun the term “trailblazer,” they have made a mark

in their fields, often against hostility, subtle or overt. How did they do it? What obstacles did they encounter? What can they teach others from their accomplishments? And what’s next for them?

What Dad Said Betty Buck tells a classic, feminist tale. President of Buck Distributing Company based in Upper Marlboro, she runs one of the largest Miller Brewing Company distributors in the mid-Atlantic states with more than 125 employees and annual sales over $50 million.

Buck grew up knowing she wanted to follow her father, who founded the company in 1946 with one beer truck.

“I was my daddy’s shadow,” Buck says. “Instead of Barbies, I played warehouse. It meant I got to be with my dad.”

In 1985, he surprised his 28-year-old daughter by saying, “You’re hungry. I’m not anymore” and offered her the company. But there was a hitch: transfer of power required approval from the parent company, Miller, based in Milwaukee. A man named Leonard Goldstein was president of Miller. Buck knew him as “Uncle Lenny.” She flew to Milwaukee and was told to go to lunch and return at 2 p.m.

When she returned, the conference room was lined with 20 vice presidents, all men. They

Debbie

Gosselin

presented her with a list of 12 classes she needed to complete, given only in Milwaukee. Over the next six months, she flew back and forth from Maryland to Wisconsin and completed the classes with 20 other students, all male. During this time her father suffered a heart attack, her marriage ended, and, as a single mom, her three children contracted chicken pox.

The upshot? When she returned to Milwaukee, she was given “another batch of classes.”

“That’s when I balked,” she says. “I let ’em have it. I told them I’d done everything you asked me while raising three children, my dad having a heart attack, and I’m the only company on the East Coast where the numbers are up.”

With that, Goldstein turned to his assembled group of male colleagues and asked, “Any other questions?” Buck got her contract.

That pluck, that air of self-confidence, is a trait all five women share. Most attribute it to the influence of their fathers.

Like Buck, Debbie Gosselin grew up into her father’s business.

A lawyer and businessman who established a thriving marina and tour boat operation, Ed Hartman taught his daughter that one of her most important roles was to be a mother. After her own daughters were born and her first marriage ended, Gosselin knew she needed to take her career seriously. Frustrated with too many part-time jobs, she wanted to be her own boss.

In the 1980s, she acquired Chesapeake Marine Tours from her dad and after that rebranded the company “Watermark.” But first, she had to earn it.

“It was an arm’s length transaction,” Gosselin says. “He did it out of his sense of fairness to my siblings and his wife, and because of his belief that people should earn what they have and not be given it.”

Dad also was a tremendous influence for Florence “Becki” Kurdle. Kurdle grew up “programmed to be a doctor.” A child of the 1960s, she attended Goucher College, where she discovered she hated chemistry, and Baltimore, too. But her dad urged her to explore. He had “tremendous influence” over her, someone who was “always behind” her. As she remembers him, she motions behind her shoulder, as though he’s still there.

Apparently, he was right. After she explored Baltimore, Kurdle found her calling in urban planning. Her first job for Anne Arundel County in 1966 was to identify countywide locations for air raid shelters. At that time, “you had to ask your commissioner” if you wanted a raise, and it was either $60 or $120.

Kurdle received $60. Her male counterparts received $120. Why? She was told, “Because you are married.”

By any measure, Maria Scott, M.D, is one of the most successful physicians in the Chesapeake region. Born to traditional Italian, hardworking parents, she and her siblings were told they “could accomplish anything.” Moving to the United States when he was three, her father was a firefighter who presided over family pasta dinners every Sunday in their modest Philadelphia home. All three children excelled. Her brother became an engineer, her sister a venture capitalist, and Scott earned her medical degree and specialized in ophthalmology. Today, she presides over one of the largest, comprehensive eye-care practices in the mid-Atlantic area.

For Veronica Tovey, it was her mother who influenced her most. Growing up in New Hampshire in the 1950s, Tovey recalls her mother was forced to quit her job as a nurse when she became pregnant. The family needed money. So, her mother sought work at the local radio station “where no one could see her.” Challenged by the station director—“How can anyone let a woman say whatever she wants on the airwaves?”—her mother bought 15 minutes of air time. She then walked the streets selling spots to underwrite her program. It’s ironic that Tovey, as publisher of What’s Up? Media, finds herself “in the same media world as my mother.”

Doing It Her Way Beyond parental influence, what propels these women to achieve is their own drive and spunk. Buck is up at 5:30 a.m. every morning to make sure beer trucks roll. Gosselin oversees water and land tours seven days a week. Scott personally performs an average of 60 surgeries per week and Tovey produces three full-scale monthly magazines. There’s a steady

churning, a heady thrum, that emanates from and around these women. These women produce, and their energy is palpable.

Kurdle is quick to underscore that she actually had three careers: urban planning for 23 years, which included serving as Anne Arundel County’s Director of Planning and Zoning, a lead lobbyist for BGE subsidiary Constellation Properties, and consulting.

“It was easy to burn out,” Kurdle recalls. “The pressures of day-to-day decision making, seeing your name in the paper every day, late night community meetings, and everyone had a zoning problem. I learned early on to say ‘yes’ if you can; ‘no’ if you must.”

When asked how she fared in a largely male-dominated county government in the 1960s and 1970s, she mentions “style.”

Unlike her predecessor in the planning office, Kurdle didn’t see herself as “one of the guys.”

“That wasn’t a fit for me,” she says. “I felt I needed to be more of a role model for the women in the office, how I dressed, how I dealt with staff. I wanted to be someone they felt good about having for a boss.”

For Scott, ophthalmology provided instant gratification. Diagnosed with scoliosis at age 12, she spent a year at Shriners Children’s Hospital, where she met other children whose dis-

abilities would define them for life. She decided to become a pediatrician. During her third-year rotation in medical school, she saw an older man with his Italian family. He’d just had cataract surgery and could suddenly see, his vision restored to 20-20.

“Suddenly, the doctor was a rock star,” Scott says. “The whole family was elated.”

Even though pediatrics was a specialty that was more welcoming to women in the ’80s, she chose ophthalmology.

“Several people told me, ‘You deserve to be chief resident, but they’re probably not going to pick you because you’re not a guy,’” she says. “I think I was picked because I worked so hard.

I tried to see the most patients I could. I embraced the work and attended every emergency.”

When Scott began practicing in Annapolis, there were only nine ophthalmologists, all male. She credits fellow physician Bill Aherne with offering her office space and getting her started. But it was her smarts that got her moving. Taking the medical staff directory, she made face-to-face visits to introduce herself. She accepted all patients, especially children. After all, their moms had parents who needed eye care, too. And soon her practice blossomed.

The path to What’s Up? Media was hardly direct for Tovey. When her first husband was under consideration for a high-level job with United Press International, his future boss

64

What’s Up? West County | May / June 2019 | whatsupmag.com

insisted first on interviewing “the wife” before deciding to promote him. Later, she decided to become the first female stockbroker in Hawaii: “I didn’t realize then that there weren’t women stockbrokers,” Tovey says.

After studying and passing an exam, she was told by a prestigious Honolulu firm that “females can’t work for us unless they are much older and they are there to service their husbands’ friends.”

“I was mortified,” she recalls vividly. Since Hawaii had recently passed an age-discrimination law, Tovey sued and won.

Ironically, when her husband was relocated to Paris, Tovey secured a job with a brokerage firm but never reported to work. She’d just learned she was pregnant. Several jobs later, including child care and starting a Manhattan plant business, she landed in Washington, D.C. with a new husband and a new job in the Jimmy Carter White House.

“Yes, it was exciting,” Tovey says. “I was in the West Wing two-and-a-half years. I could walk into the Oval Office. All my friends wanted to visit.”

But she concedes, “It was awful, too.” She endured long hours and little pay. Even worse, Ronald Reagan’s election in 1980 meant she was out of a job. “No one wanted me,” she says. In typical Tovey fashion, she eventually found her niche through a friend and formed an investment company that raised venture capital money for oil and gas drilling or commercial real estate development. She began

earning money and proudly states “a lot of money.” She acknowledges this is what allowed her to start What’s Up? Media and expand it into a multi-media business.

Gosselin, too, is on the move.

Since acquiring her business from her father, who at age 92 remains a huge influence in her life, Gosselin has doubled it in size. She’s added land tours and expanded boating operations to Baltimore. With 20 fulltime and 200 seasonal employees, she recalls what her mother told her often as the first child of four—that she was bossy.

Says Gosselin today, “I’m not bossy. I’m the boss.”

Finding Help and Seeking

Balance

Even though these women stand out as singular achievers, they admit they had help along the way, first from spouses and then others.

Many also changed spouses.

According to information from the U.S. Census Bureau, divorce rates in the U.S. have fluctuated over the last 50 years. From a low of 24 percent in the early 1960s to a high of 53 percent in the late 1970s, the figure has hovered around 50 percent since the ’80s.

Second and third marriages are common among our interviewees. Tovey credits her three marriages for encouraging her to do better.

She asserts that each created in her a strong drive for achievement.

Only Scott remains wed to her first husband, an anes-

Veronica Tovey

thesiologist at Anne Arundel Medical Center. Scott praises him for being so supportive of her career and sharing home duties for their two children, along with “Miss Bunny,” a nanny who has been like a grandmother to her two children.

Having raised four children herself, Buck now helps to raise the next generation. Buck starts each morning with breakfast at home with several of her six grandchildren. Balancing time with family, work, and community service is a constant challenge.

Involved in more than a dozen charities and business organizations, Buck is the first female chair of the Maryland Chamber of Commerce and the National Beer Wholesalers Association.

“I wish I had a nickel for every political or charity dinner I took my kids to, so that we could be together,” Buck says.

“But my dad taught me, you make your living from the community. You gotta give back.”

For Kurdle, life seems defined by the nonprofit organizations she’s chaired: the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County, Anne Arundel Medical Center, the YWCA, and, most recently, Goucher College. Reflecting on her multi-careers, she says, “In the ’50s and ’60s, we thought we could have it all. We really can’t. We always need to make choices. We need balance.”

As these women demonstrate, one way to ensure more family time is to include their children in their work. Buck is grooming her daughter Erin to help lead the business, an industry where only 22 of some 2,500 are women. Gosselin’s younger daughter, Ginny, now works fulltime for Watermark in operations management.

Each of these achievers express a strong obligation to coach, mentor, and help mature those who will follow—both women and men.

What Tovey enjoys most about the magazine is “all the people I work with.

They’re all young. Some have been here for 17 years. I’ve watched them grow and helped them to have good lives.” She sees herself as an entrepreneur and enjoys carrying out new ideas. Important to her is fun, but she also enjoys hard work. She tells young people in her office, ‘You can do it. I know you can do it.’”

For Buck too, most of her employees have been with her for 20 years. “This is my family,” she says. Her biggest challenge is funding their health care and retirement. As for advice to younger women, she recounts meeting the Chair of the Maryland Chamber of Commerce when she first became CEO. He gave her his number and said to call if she ever needed help. So, she called him just to see if he would answer. And he did.

She addresses women’s groups often and always offers her number. She tells young women: “Don’t be afraid to ask.

Don’t quit. Just keep going.”

Scott is busy building her business. It took a big leap last year, growing from 120 to 250 employees with the goal of becoming “the eye care leader in the mid-Atlantic.” Still, finds time to mentor younger women.

“It’s a great feeling to be good at what you do. Get really good at something. Learn as much as you can. Always say ‘yes’—every opportunity can teach you something.”

Even though Gosselin just completed a two-year stint as the first woman commodore of the Annapolis Yacht Club, she downplays her feminist role. Her advice to younger women?

“Forget about being a woman,” she says. “Focus on doing the job well. But you need to do it better because you are a woman.”

Kurdle forges her advice to younger women from her many years in management.

“I wasn’t afraid to be a leader,” she says. “I had enough self-confidence even if I didn’t know the whole job, I knew I could learn it. You need to understand that leading people is first understanding them. Believe you can do it. Know who you are and be the best you can be. Even if you’re not quite sure you are good enough yet, go for it.”

Chapter

Usually a highly reflective woman, Kurdle pauses over “what’s next.” She admits to narrowing her interests. In her 80th year, she wants to “touch base” with people she most cares about. Having twin grandsons, age 20, and twin granddaughters, age 17, and another granddaughter, age 17, she wants to see them through college.

If there’s any doubt that this woman has an eye to the future, her front office says it all. Not one, but two Harleys greet visitors to the sprawling one-story campus that she has built. “I love Harleys,” she says. “They’re very freeing.”

And, of course, emblematic of all our trailblazers, Buck never hesitates to ride alone.

In fact, she prefers it.

When treating mental health conditions, people most often ask “Do I have to be on medication forever?”

When should I see a psychiatrist?

Mental suffering is different from other forms of illness. When your body is sick, it impacts your body.

When your mind is sick, it impacts your person—the very essence of who you are. Psychiatrists address the feelings, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that make you you.

People often suffer with disorders that may be disrupting their lives because they are afraid to share what’s really going on in their inner world, but there is almost nothing you can tell a psychiatrist that will surprise him/her. If you are worried, look for a provider with a style that fits your preference – my style is to share my expertise and advice collaboratively and in a way that I think the patient will hear.

Medication can be a crucial component of treatment for mental health, although it is often considered last. Early medication intervention can help prevent the illness from getting worse and dramatically improve quality of life.

For many patients, once they experience the benefits of medication, they often regret not treating it sooner. For those being treated with medication for mental health, medications are not always a lifelong sentence and the side effects are often less harmful than an untreated mental health condition.

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

ship 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

Severna 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.

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.

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 Jay’s ability to see something beautiful where others might see only disrepair.

The Jay’s attention to detail and quality of craftsman-

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 two-car garage and what we call The Barn—the guest house, as well as the 74

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.” whatsupmag.com | May / June 2019 | What’s Up? West County

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.

76

What’s Up? West County | May / June 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 pro-

fuse 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 80

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 tailoring with unique custom touches,” he explains.

From the outside, the peaked roof, colonial shutters, columned front porch, and brick foundation look like many other historic homes in the area. However, the house was built on the site of the nurses’ 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

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 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.

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.

84

What’s Up? West County | May / June 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 the with 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.”

88

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.

Ruching Women with all body types can appreciate ruching in clothing, as it adds curves to slim or straight frames and fulsomely accentuates those curves for those who were born with them. Bodycon dresses have been in for a while now; ruching updates the look in an ultra-flattering way.

Bows and Ruffles A consummate feature of feminine clothing, bows, and ruffles are back in a big way. A variation of ruffles, micropleats, were also spotted many times on the runway.

The pleats expand and contract as the person wearing them moves, providing an intriguing silhouette.

Just two words sum up the top fashion trends for summer 2019: tailored feminism. From classic, well-fitting suits to ruching that emphasizes curves and quintessential marks of feminine clothing like big bows and ruffles, take a look at five trends that will reign supreme during the upcoming season.

Puffed Sleeves It’s not often that sleeves make a statement, but that’s certainly the case this summer. Not only are shoulders puffing up—don’t worry, it’s not as Seinfeld as it might seem—but sleeves are getting their own form of ruffles, draping, and pleating.

Fire Colors Marigold yellow has already taken its place as one of the top colors for 2019, but, really, all the blazing hot colors of fire are on-trend, including fire-engine red and terracotta orange.

“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

“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

HARVEST THYME TAVERN

Trattoria Experience Awaits at Harvest Thyme

T

By Rita Calvert Photography by Stephen Buchanan

he now well-established Harvest Thyme Tavern (open for two years) is a worthy dining option. It’s not hard to find, slotted on Central Avenue. On this visit, the U-shaped bar was full, as it’s a friendly and popular place to stop by for happy hour (which runs from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.).

The large, main room is divided, but still feels quite open without being noisy. The red brick wall behind the bar and facing the front of the display kitchen—where the pizza aroma originates—gives the vibe of a casual place.

We knew as soon as we walked into the Italian trattoria-themed establishment that wine is a big deal: there’s a wall-length wooden rack displaying intriguing options. Polished cement floors, tables and cozy booths, light colored wood top tables, and cloth napkins conveyed an open convivial place. Quinton, our server, introduced himself and gave us a quick overview of the menu and some of his favorites.

There’s a nice selection of wines by the (generous) glass, and a lengthy list of varied domestic and imported

Clockwise: Panzanella Salad, Bone-in Pork Chop, Harvest Pizza, Meatball for Two, Craft Cocktail

bottles. It’s a very welcome option for the adventurous or undecided to try 2-ounce, 4-ounce, or 6-ounce pours.

Many people don’t realize it is the alcoholic beverages that make the most money at a restaurant. Owner and chef Rik Squillari has a wine program, which allows you to purchase a bottle at retail price to consume with your meal for a $10 corkage fee. There’s a wine club with exclusive access to some top choices. Not a wine drinker?

There are 16 craft beers on draft with seasonal changes, and several inviting craft cocktails, including some novel herb-infused concoctions.

It’s tough to narrow down a food choice to accompany those drinks. My companion selected a glass of very good Acacia Pinot Noir and chose an Italian starter: the meatball for two. It’s a tasty behemoth that we split. The meatball is stuffed with a blend of mozzarella, parmesan, and romano cheeses in a bright, chunky house-made tomato sauce and a side of Italian dipping bread with coarse texture and crunchy crust. We asked if this same delicious sauce would be used in the pasta dishes and our server said no, explaining the chef

succulent, a welcome change from the often-overcooked pork in many places.

The sauce was just right, not overly thick or sweet, with a note of, perhaps, mulling spices and some attractive plump cherries. The potatoes were freshly roasted with a hint of rosemary, and the green beans had a sprinkle of bacon chunks.

varies the sauce for different dishes. For example, he noted the pizza sauce is a bit less spicy to please both adults and kids, while dishes like grilled seafood cioppino or plates of pastas have yet other spins to complement them.

We shared the classic, yet hard-to-find, panzanella salad with croutons, each with a nice robe of fresh goat cheese and capers. It is a bestseller at Harvest Thyme. The tomatoes on a winter salad added color to the field greens dressed with a very tangy red wine vinaigrette.

We devoured every bite.

Next up were the entrees. The entree menu offers seven choices, but each day, the chef adds new selections in the categories of butcher’s cut, fresh catch, and pasta of the day, which Quinton recited. The butcher’s cut tonight was what Quinton described as airline chicken

breast (breast plus wing), stuffed with herb cheese and topped with prosciutto and a bread crumb coating. Salmon en Papillote was the catch, while the pasta selection included angel hair with grilled chicken, red bell peppers, and mushrooms in an alfredo sauce. We vowed to return for a pizza sometime, since the aroma is tempting. It’s clearly a house favorite with toppings that seem different than most places. I chose the Airline Stuffed Chicken. The golden boneless breast (complete with wing) had a pocket of cheese stuffing, while the prosciutto, breadcrumbs, and herbs rode on the top.

The stuffed zucchini accompanying the bird was actually a three-inch cut of a half zucchini boat.

My friend chose the bone-in pork chop, pan seared, with a black cherry demiglaze, accompanied by roasted red potatoes and green beans. It was moist and

Harvest Thyme’s desserts are made inhouse, and are nust-try. We were tempted by the bestseller Harvest Smash, a great-sounding riff on apple crisp. But in keeping with our Italian mood, we chose the tiramisu. A large slab was perfect for sharing. This version had a delicious blended topping of whipped cream and, perhaps, cream cheese, which gave the layered dessert more body.

Unlike many variations that use rum or coffee liqueur, this was far from the heavy-handed boozy versions elsewhere.

We liked it. And it paired magically with the coffee Americano (espresso and hot water). Smooth and perfect without the bitterness of many espresso coffees.

Perhaps our next visit will be for Sunday brunch, and we will go Americano.
