24 Just Ask Ann

Oh the summer seems to last FOR-EVER since I have teens in the house. Too young to have gainful employment, too old for summer camp. “Mom, I’m bored! There is nothing to do! Can you take me to the Mall? Can you take me to Katelyn’s? What do you mean you can’t take me to Ocean City? Why did you turn the internet off? You are so mean!” OMG! Agggghhhhhhh! As the heat drags on and I pray for school to start again, I start to daydream of ways that I can make them feel my pain as they have managed to push my every hot button. Here are some of my daydreams…by the way, I have tried a couple already and they work! 1. Friend all their friends on facebook, then post lovey-dovey comments on their Facebook page or insta-gram page. 2. Movie Stalking: Show up at the same movie and claim ignorance. (A classic!) 3. Reorganize their room while they are at a sleepover. 4. While at the pool, show your teen your ‘Diving Board Tricks’ and be sure you are sitting next to them on the lounge chairs. 5. Have a “Captive Car Talk” with your son or daughter. Any typical topic they don’t want to discuss or run the other way when you try to bring it up. Crank it up a notch by having the talk with their friends in the car and make unplanned stops at multiple places, like the dry cleaner or pharmacy, along the way. (My daughter hates it when I do this!) 6. While driving your teen and their friends to their endless activities, sing your favorite 80’s songs out loud or learn a current song, like ‘Thrift Shop’ and blurt out the wrong lyrics. 7. At the practice field, when your son scores a goal or hit, stand up and yell “Yeah! That’s MY Son!” Ok, I feel better. I think I can make it a few more weeks before school starts.

Dear Steve, Despite the hype you may read on the internet, only a fraction of homeowners who apply for mortgage modifications actually receive them. There are reputable non-profit agencies, such as Salisbury Neighborhood Housing Services, that provide trustworthy help to homeowners. But these reputable agencies do not always succeed in obtaining meaningful mortgage modifications. For many homeowners, any payment reductions that are obtained are often too little too late. Or, if by the time a modification is granted the homeowners are far behind in their monthly payments, the new “modified” payment may be higher

than the old monthly payment. At worst, the modification is denied, and the lender demands thousands of dollars be paid immediately to cure the accrued default. And foreclosure looms. Countless homeowners are still desperately trying to avoid foreclosures in this upside-down real estate market. This has resulted in a deluge of online companies who advertise mortgage modifications and foreclosure relief. Many of these companies are out-of-state. You only deal with them online or over the phone. Steve, your home is here in Salisbury. If the threatened foreclosure moves forward, it will be under Maryland law and in the Court for Wicomico County. You have legal rights in Maryland when faced with foreclosure, including the right to mediation. How can a Florida company protect your rights here in a Maryland Court? There has been so much abuse of homeowners seeking mortgage modifications and trying to avoid foreclosures, that both federal and new Maryland laws seek to protect vulnerable homeowners. July 1st this year, Maryland’s Mortgage Assistance Relief Services Act went into effect. This new statute incorporates important federal consumer protection law and

regulations issued by the Federal Trade Commission. Under the new Maryland statute, a company who promises to obtain a mortgage modification for you or to “save your home” is a “Mortgage Assistance Relief Service Provider”. Both the new Maryland law and the existing federal regulations prohibit a Mortgage Assistance Relief Service from collecting $4,500. or any other fee until the company has done exactly what it first promised to do. These companies are also required to provide the homeowner with honest disclosures about what can – and cannot – reasonably be expected. Under Maryland law, a homeowner can sue a Mortgage Assistance Relief Provider for damages and attorneys fees if the company fails to provide promised services. But, how easy would it be for a Salisbury resident to recover from a Florida company? Whether located in Florida or located in Maryland, non-attorneys are at a disadvantage when in comes to providing foreclosure relief. Nonattorneys cannot represent you in either State Court or Federal Court. And Court may be the last recourse for the homeowner. Sometimes, the only remaining option to stop a foreclosure and give the homeowner the chance to catch-up on past mortgage payments is a Chapter 13. In Maryland, only a Maryland

attorney admitted to federal court can help you with that. A homeowner behind in mortgage payments or facing foreclosure still has alternatives. Various local professionals may help the homeowner evaluate these alternatives. Qualified REALTORS can give advice about short sales. Always seek tax advice from your own accountant. Attorneys who practice in this area of law can offer different legal options. But if you are facing the loss of your home, an out-of-state company that knows nothing about the local real estate market and cannot practice law in Maryland is probably not the best choice.

Five years ago, Joe Logan had this conversation with his neighbor. And, in exchange for an agreed-on $15 donation to his beloved Izaak Walton League for each birdhouse, Joe began to build them. Like the farmer prophesied in Field of Dreams, he did build them and they did come. To date, Joe has made 254 birdhouses and raised more than $3800 for the organization that serves Caroline, Dorchester, Queen Anne, and Talbot counties. While he has made 6 Wood Duck boxes and 3 Purple Martin houses, the majority of his creations have been styles suitable for Bluebirds and Chickadees. The rectangular Bluebird house has a roof overhang to protect the entrance from rain and is designed to be mounted on a post or pole. The Chickadee house has a smaller entrance, a peaked roof, and is

designed to be hung and swing freely. Carefully and neatly crafted, each and every one has been built from quality wood pieces and is easily opened for cleaning and then easily closed. Joe says he does this simply because “It’s just plain fun to do something for somebody.” While you might assume that he’d done some sort of construction or constructionrelated work in his career, you’d be wrong. He was an Inspector of Process Fruit and Vegetables for the US Department of Agriculture, a job from which he retired in 1977. And even his military responsibilities don’t suggest this type of interest or skill: he was a member of the US Cavalry in the era of World War II, specifically the very last horse cavalry in the US. In addition to birdhouses, Joe has built 4 footbridges that are found on the walking trails of the Izaak

Walton League’s 55-acre Nature Area in Trappe. Each has a name and a plaque of dedication to an outstanding club member. In the 28 years he has belonged to the Izaak Walton League, he has received its coveted Tobin Award for outstanding achievement twice: once from the local MidShore Chapter and once from the National organization. Joe suggests that, once you’ve received your Chickadee house, you sit in your favorite chair and gaze out your favorite window. Locate two branches that are 3 to 5 feet apart, then run a wire from one to the other and position the birdhouse in the center, facing the house. This will give you many seasons of pleasure. The Bluebird house should be placed in open space but near a woods and facing away from the wind. The result will be similar.

If you’d like to have a beautiful, high quality Logan-crafted birdhouse, call Izaak Walton League member Ken Wheatley at 410-228-4502. Joe’s never raised the price, so they’re still only $15. Now he’s looking to make his 255th birdhouse. And, oh yes, 92-yearold Joe has six in his own yard.

Science Lesson #1 at the Salon

Parabens

a preservative in beauty products, lotions & makeup. For several months now, friends have been telling me to go see Zina at Enza’s An Organic Salon in Salisbury, MD - they swear by her hair color and expert cuts. Honestly, I was curious by what an “organic salon” meant. So I took a leap of faith and opened the door to Enza’s An Organic Salon. It didn’t have a ‘hippy crunchy’ look or smell about it – nope, no patchouli incense sticks burning in the corner. Phew. Actually, the décor was calming, “like a plantation spa, but with the cool tin ceiling – probably original to the historic building. I walked in with my new intern, Whitney, to make an appointment. I asked the owner, Zina Brechbill, briefly about her products – none of which I recognized. Asking her what inspired her to open Enza’s An Organic Salon, she explained that several years ago, while working in another salon, her arms kept breaking out in hives. Doctor’s were puzzled and she wasn’t told that she had allergies. It had turned out that all of the

chemicals in the products she was using on herself and her clients were, in fact, poisoning her! She started using organic products, lotions and cosmetics on herself. After doing research to figure out what the possible triggers were, she realized that just changing the products she used on herself wasn’t enough; even breathing the chemicals such as ammonia and formaldehyde was causing reactions. After 20 plus years in the business, she decided she would open her own Salon and offer products and services that are green, clean air, cruelty free, vegan friendly, GMO free, ammonia free, natural and organic. Her products are free of harmful chemicals such as propylene glycol, formaldehyde & pesticides, parabens & sulfates. “Come experience what gorgeously green beauty is all about” the mantra at Enza’s An Organic Salon. My curiosity was peaked. Of course, I don’t want to unintentionally poison myself while trying to stay beautiful – so I asked her to tell me more and I made a hair appointment. A week later, I showed up and immediately started asking Zina a bazillion questions. I will admit, her knowledge of science and harmful ingredients was a bit overwhelming. For the purposes of this magazine issue, I am only going to share with CONTINUEDÊONÊPAGEÊ32

you information about parabens. Otherwise, you could be as confused as I was. (Next month, I will move on to another lesson from Zina). First off, she said that the worst ingredient in most cosmetics, hair products and body lotions is parabens. She assured me that all of her products are paraben free. I remember seeing that on that same label on Burt’s Bee’s products, but admitted I was clueless. She said that paraben is linked to breast cancer. With that, I started my research at webmd.com, livestrong.com and burtsbees.com – all this research came after, of course, a fantastic haircut. Thanks Zina!

So what is a Paraben? Parabens are used in personal care products all over the world. Parabens are the most common preservative found in cosmetics, including makeup, moisturizers, and hair care products. They are used as a preservative to stabilize ingredients in products and inhibit microbial growth. (www.webmd.com). Parabens are chemical preservatives that have been identified as estrogenic and disruptive of normal hormone function. Estrogenic chemicals mimic the function of the naturally

occurring hormone estrogen, and exposure to external estrogens has been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer. (Breastcanceraction.org).

So what’s the big deal? Read more: http://www. livestrong.com/article/140040paraben-risks/#ixzz2UxKuxyei One study found parabens in breast tumors, but did not indicate that parabens actually caused the cancer. Other researchers have concluded it is “implausible” that the amount of parabens in cosmetics could lead to cancer.

Paraben’s Possible Link to Breast Cancer

Colby College’s Clean Makeup website reports that parabens can mimic estrogen and disrupt the body’s hormone system. Cornell University reports that a high lifelong exposure to estrogen can increase breast cancer risk. Estrogen, and synthetic chemicals that act like estrogen, play a role in stimulating the division of breast cells and affect other hormones that stimulate breast cell division. Your body does not easily break down synthetic estrogen, and it can accumulate in fat cells, including breast tissue. In 2004, a study by the University of Reading in the United Kingdom found concentrations of parabens,

particularly methylparaben, in human breast tumors. The study examined only the presence of parabens in the tumors but did not determine that they were the cause of the tumors. Read more: http://www. livestrong.com/article/150690what-are-the-dangers-of-parabensin-skin-care/#ixzz2UxJnmHa6

Early Puberty

The ability of parabens to mimic other hormones makes them endocrine disruptors, substances that adversely affect the endocrine system. The endocrine system releases hormones into the bloodstream and is involved in a number of functions related to reproduction, waste elimination, digestion and metabolism. Endocrine disruptors such as parabens can lead to early puberty in adolescent girls and boys, as reported by the New York Times. Endocrinologists have observed the average age of puberty decreasing in the past several decades and have seen girls as young as eight exhibit breast development and pubic hair growth. Endocrine disrupters can also lead to testicular enlargement and breast development in young boys.

Decreased Sperm Levels Parabens can also adversely

affect the male reproductive system. In a study by the Tokyo Metropolitan Research Laboratory of Public Health, researchers administered parabens to three-week-old rats. After four weeks, researchers examined the rats and found their sperm production significantly decreased in relation to the amount of parabens they had received. The rats that received the highest dose of parabens, which was consistent with the daily acceptable intake of parabens in Europe and Japan, showed a significant decrease in sperm concentration. To Read more: http://www.livestrong.com/ article/150690-what-are -the dangers - of-parabens -in- skincare/#ixzz2UxKAAMOK So there you have a little information to get you started. Personally, reading about all of this has made every shopping trip longer, since I am reading labels more closely now. I switched to a new under-arm deodorant that is paraben-free to see how I liked it. It is also aluminum free. As I use up lotions that I already have (I have gone this long), I will make the switch to paraben-free. Certainly can’t hurt and over time, might make a difference. We are eating organic veggies; might as well try to go organic on the lotions and hair products too. What if, what we put on our bodies made just as much of an impact as what we put inside our bodies? What if… it certainly makes me think differently. Which reminds me, I need another haircut. Time to call Zina at Enza’s An Organic Salon.

so that my Mom could work with my Dad. On weekends our family, Mom, Dad, my three sisters and brother could be found aboard our 46-foot cabin cruiser “Four Misses and A Hit” on the Chesapeake Bay. I look back and think, how foolish I was thinking everyone else had it better, I had it pretty good! I love visiting Annapolis now, at 63 but in my teens it was a totally different story. I would have given anything to be able to stay at home in Baltimore County and do ‘absolutely nothing’ with my friends. To this day, I love staying at home – I call it a ‘stay’cation. Remember back to that first week of school in September – getting re-acquainted with classmates – the ones that did not live in your neighborhood; picking up where you left off with your neighborhood friends? And, that first English class assignment – How I spent My Summer Vacation? Well, I do and I dreaded that essay. I felt that everyone’s Summer was much more exciting than mine. We were a boating family, my Dad was a sail-maker with a sail loft in downtown Annapolis. We summered there on weekdays

So when my husband, Graham, said he would like to take a two week trip to visit a few national parks to take photos, I was less than thrilled. I love being home, especially in the summer with my gardens – flowers and vegetables. But, I bit the bullet, got a sitter for our Golden ‘Fearless’ and got on the plane. We drove through several Parks, stopping for photo opportunities here and there. When I was not driving, I was happily reading my Kindle which had been loaded with top picks from my Fabulous Five book group. The sights around

Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks were phenomenal. However, I had seen my fill of lakes, bison, geysers, snow caps, more bison, etc. On our last day in Yellowstone, I called our dog sitter, she said that Fearless was ‘parked’ in the sunroom waiting for our return – he, too, thought it was time for us to come home. As we drove around near the West Entrance to Yellowstone, there were herds of bison - bison to the right of the car, bison to the left of the car. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a Mother Bison, very busy corralling her young calf who was intent on getting closer to an older bison who was laying with his back to the herd and on a higher elevation. My story unfolds… In my mind’s eye, the little guy was Bozey; the big guy was Mosey. Mosey had left his herd because he felt he had become a burden. Mosey was aging, he could not hear or see as well as he had in the past and he had difficulty remembering very important things. Bozey and Mosey were grandson and grandfather respectively. The story is how Bozey helps Mosey return to the herd.

My professional background in Geriatrics and my personal experience being a caretaker for my Dad, Aunt and Mother-inLaw all came into play. Before I knew it, I had two pages of text and we were still in the Park! The words just flew onto the page. I did my research on dementia and cognitive related disorders and discovered that 5.4 Million Americans suffer from memoryrelated diseases; there are 15 Million non-paid caretakers and 26% of family caregivers have children younger than 18 living with them. My story would be one that would bring children in to the caretaking equations. Children are often forgotten, yet, they can be so helpful. I arrived home, was introduced to Dale Booth, a local, fulltime marine biologist, part-time watercolorist, met a sister of a friend who agreed to by my editor, visited the CreateSpace. com self-publishing website and the rest is history. My young granddaughters shared their editing suggestions and actually named one of the characters, a Moose named Lerr. CONTINUEDÊONÊPAGEÊ41

Since being published in February, 2013, the most important lessons that I have learned came from those attending my book readings, signings, lectures. Human beings are resilient. Love is always a verb. Love is a renewable resource. Be comfortable with silence. You never know the impact you can have in being involved in someone’s care. Show up, be present; be REALLY present. Do not rush, if you cannot devote a decent amount of time, reschedule. Treat someone like a survivor, he or she will react like one. And last but by no means least, never make promises you cannot keep, it may just be the only thing that your loved one remembers, recalls, reacts to…Creating Mosey and Bozey has been the most liberating thing I have ever done. Contributing writer, Judith A. Slaughter lives in Woolford, MD and is the Coordinator for Volunteer Services at the Eastern Shore Hospital Center in Cambridge, MD. She is the author of Mosey and Bozey,

Archaeology Digs are Alive at Furnace Town Did you dream of becoming an archeologist as a kid – digging up history and artifacts and imagining what life must have been like centuries ago? Your dreams can now come true with an Archeology Dig open to the public in Snow Hill, MD. Here on Delmarva, nestled just on the edge of the Pocomoke Forest the past comes to life at Furnace Town Living Heritage Museum! The Public Archaeology Digs focus on teaching the history and principles of archaeology. Digs are suitable for age 8 and up, and provide a valuable service for Furnace Town as excavators unearth items used by those who lived and worked at this historical site. This teaches and allows us to better understand life in the 19th century company town known as, F u r n a c e Town. There a n d

are several areas at Furnace Town that have been excavated you can see some of the past artifacts in many of the museum buildings. Current excavations are in the area of the Bank/ Company Store. Recent digs have been monitored by Mr. Dave Wright, Marine and Historical Archeology Instructor with the Eastern Shore Community College and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. A maximum of 20 people are able to work in the designated area. For a small fee, participants carefully scrape dirt, sift it, and clean and categorize artifacts as they appear, working to a depth of about 12 inches. Typical finds include brick, mortar, nails, window glass, bottle glass, pottery, shells, slag and ceramics. Artifacts are bagged and tagged with the date, grid square and other details and saved for later accessioning work. Most digs begin at 1:00PM with training and continues until 3:30 or 4:00PM. Furnace Town also offers a variety of programs and exhibits for residents and visitors, including live Artisans weaving, iron work, broom-making and more!

If you would like to schedule a group dig or find out more info on the next public dig, please contact Furnace Town at 410-632-2032 or visit www.furnacetown.com.

Erick Sahler

is an American Screen Printing Association certified graphic artist and screen printer who has designed thousands of illustrations, graphics, cartoons and logos on the Eastern Shore of Maryland since 1983. Erick Sahler Serigraphs was launched in 2011 and some of his clients have included Perdue Farms Inc., Salisbury Wicomico Arts Council, Delaware International Speedway, Chesapeake Screen Printing and The Daily Times. In addition to art, he enjoys long family road trips, rooting for the home team, dirt track racing and a good game of fetch with their Chesapeake Bay retriever, Chance.

What is a serigraph? A serigraph is a fancy word for a silkscreen art print. It was coined around 1940 by combining “seri” (Latin for “silk”) and “graph” (Greek for “to write”) to differentiate fine art silkscreen prints from more commercial silkscreen processes used to print everything from wallpaper to T-shirts. All of his artwork is hand printed. For each color, he creates a stencil in a high-mesh screen through which ink is “pulled” with a squeegee. Colors are hand printed one sheet of paper at a time, usually working from the lightest to darkest colors, at a rate of two colors per day. It takes a week or more to complete the printing on most of his editions. While the process is more labor intensive than printing a digital image or giclee, serigraphs are more bold and vibrant than other types of art prints. In addition, small variances in the screenprinting process make each serigraph a unique work of art. Erick uses 100 percent cotton, acid-free Rising Stonehenge paper for of his prints. His inks are considered archival – they are water based and Earth friendly too! All of his numbered prints are limited editions, which means they will not be reprinted once they sell out. This adds value for those who buy and collect his artwork. If you are interesting in commissioning Erick Sahler for a project, feel free to contact him at 410-8453774 or email: erick@ericksahler.com. His art is available for sale at Bishop’s Stock (Snow Hill, MD), Bungalow Love (Berlin, MD), Sunnyside (Cambridge, MD) or on his web site at www.ericksahler.com

The dog days of summer are upon us and the Eastern Shore is a perfect destination for those that want to include their pets in all the fun. We’ve got it all from pet friendly hotels and restaurants to beaches and off-leash parks for your dog to run. Restaurant establishments range from casual waterfront eateries to breweries to fine dining. If you’re headed to Ocean City, stop by the boardwalk to visit Shorebilly Brewing Company at 10th street and boardwalk. Kick back some potent potables while your pup enjoys some “Brew Chews” dog biscuits, made with their spent beer grains. Or visit the new Rosenfeld’s Jewish Deli to enjoy a delicious sandwich and some “Barkstein Dog Treats” made with chopped liver.

Some other pet friendly spots in Ocean City include, Plim Plaza at the Carribean Pool Deck, Teasers at Sunset Grill, Mikey Fins, Bayside Skillet, Mackey’s, Smoker’s BBQ Pit and Dumser’s Drive In. Other pet-friendly locations in our area include the Atlantic Hotel, Tex Mex, and The Globe in Berlin. Snapper’s Waterfront Café and High Spot Gastropub in Cambridge and Market Street Pub, Brew River, Pemberton Coffee House, Mojo’s and EVO’s Public House in Salisbury. Remember all pet-friendly locations are outside, waterfront, patio or deck seating so be prepared for any conditions. Bring a portable water bowl (many establishments supply free, fresh

Fitness Events cold, water) your dog’s food and healthy treats. Table scraps, salts and sugars are not good for pups and often give them an upset belly (which you don’t need during the ride home.) And, remember that hot pavement can burn those sensitive paw pads so keep your pup cool and out of the sun! If your pup isn’t tired out after a fun day of dining, stop by the Salisbury Dog Park on North Park Drive in Salisbury. The park features a large dog area, a small / timid / elderly dog area and agility equipment but remember to bring water, there are no water dispensers within the park. Enjoy your time with your furry friend! Contributed by Lisa Iszard, owner of Tumbleweed & Eddie’s Natural Pet Treat Company located in Fenwick Island, Delaware. Tumbleweed & Eddie’s uses ingredients from local farms and fishermen. Visit www.tumbleweedandeddies.com

It was a brisk February morning when I first met Laura and Danny Holland, owners of Chesapeake Bay Farms, out at their processing facility in Pocomoke, Maryland. They had already manufactured cheese that day, so I missed seeing that, but they shared some fresh mozzarella as well as some tastings from previous days production so that I could taste the difference resulting from the aging process. Within a few minutes, it was clear that these dairy farmers were on a mission. Laura pointed out to a cleared lot across the parking lot. She said by April, their 2nd retail location would be opening right there. I was a little surprised, since their farm is in the middle of Worcester County among many farms and back roads. Laura mentioned that so many people stop by the processing plant to buy fresh milk and ice cream – they just weren’t set up for retail there - and they had to refer them to their Berlin store or another local retailer. Suddenly, dreams of chocolate insanity filled my head. Fast forward – true to their word,

by April, despite the rain and cold spring, they opened! In addition to selling all of their fresh milk, butter and cheese products – they rotate over 50 ice cream flavors too! Plus you can pick up locally baked fresh breads, local honey, jams, dips or something yummy from freezers – so many goodies - oh my! My favorite is a 2-flavor hand scooped “chocolate insanity” along with anything peanut butter or coffee - in their homemade waffle cone. Just the thought of it makes my mouth water! Outside, relaxing on a lazy cow bench, letting the kiddies wander off to check out the baby calves or pretend to milk a life-size cow. You really have to see this place to believe it. If you like to bicycle the fast and flat back rural roads, the creamery happens to be right on the Worcester County 100 mile bike route – so put some cash in your biking shorts and take an ice cream break! A little history about Chesapeake Bay Farms…. The Holland Family has been producing grade ‘A’ milk for 3 generations. Many family run

d d e th h o c th w o T th o a d th in n re d th T d a D s th

dairies have been run out of business by the meg-dairies and this is the last dairy in Worcester County. Unlike the mega-dairies, the Hollands know each cow individually (yes, you can memorize cows by their spots!) and they are not treated with any growth hormones. Since their farm has been handed down from generation to generation, their cows have the advantage of large “open-air” pastures with newer “free-stall” beds where they can come in from the elements and comfortably lay down at their leisure. Today, their 250 cow herd is fed by corn raised on their farm but supplemented with grazing from their lush pastures of rye and sorghum, cotton seed and other grains to meet a regimented diet created by a nutritional specialist. The idea for cheese came several years ago at Christmas. The Hollands thought it would be a great gift for family and friends if we made some of our milk into cheese. Their cheese received rave reviews! They found an Amish artisan cheese maker through the “Bovine Grapevine” and developed their own signature flavors. Unlike the cheeses you will find in the grocery stores, Chesapeake Bay Farms cheeses are all natural and individually cut by hand. Their milk is the highest grade “A” and contains no synthetic hormones, antibiotics or chemical compounds. Many local restaurants are serving and using Chesapeake Bay Farms products in their dishes. Of course, the Hollands are always looking for new places to carry their products, so ask your local grocery to start stocking their flavors. There are several ways to get to Chesapeake Bay Farms Creamery by GPS depending where you are – 4111 Whitesburg Rd., Pocomoke, MD. If you are near Downtown Pocomoke, it is just 4 miles off of Route 13 South. Take Dividing Creek Road to Whitesburg and follow the “Support Local Cows” sign. If you don’t have time to make it out to the Creamery, you can visit their Berlin location – just 2.5 West of Berlin on Route 50.
