Happy July fellow Locals & Summer Vacationers!

In our March issue, Ryan Shelton challenged us to get a fitness buddy and get fit. By chance, my fellow PTA Officer, Jodi Yankalunas mentioned that she was starting to train for the Chicago Half Marathon. She lives in the next neighborhood over, so I offered to help her by exercising with her each morning. I almost choked on my morning coffee when she said be ready to run at 5AM, but I agreed. After about 6 weeks of running and biking, we are both feeling great and I got back into my jeans from 3 years ago. Woo Hoo! Here we are at the Women Supporting Women High Heel Race that was held on June 14th. I was a last minute registrant; hence my number â&#x20AC;&#x153;72.â&#x20AC;? Wearing the sturdiest high heels that I own, I was in it to win it! The energy at the event was fantastic! Sadly, though I won my heat, I came in 3rd overall and 2nd in the Media Celebrity Heat. Nope, no trophy for me - just another spider vein. We are thinking about putting a team together next year! Who wants to be on the future Beach To Bay Babes Team???

and you’ll receive the full value of your bond back at maturity. Aren’t these valuable benefits? Interest rates are at historic lows. But they will rise eventually. If you invest in fixed-income vehicles, such as bonds, what might higher rates mean for you? As is almost always the case in the investment world, there’s no simple answer. First, it’s important to distinguish between short-term and long-term interest rates. The Federal Reserve is determined to keep shortterm rates low until unemployment improves, but, in the meantime, longer-term rates may well rise. Depending on your situation, a rise in long-term rates can present both opportunity and concern. The opportunity: Rising rates can mean greater income if you invest in newly issued bonds. The concern: If you already own longer-term bonds, and rates rise, the value of your bonds will fall. That’s because other investors won’t want to pay full price for your bonds when they can get new ones at higher rates.

They are indeed — but they may be more relevant for short-term bonds. Longer-term bonds — those of 10-year duration or longer — are more subject to inflation risk than shorter-term bonds. Of course, we’ve experienced low inflation for a number of years, but, over time, even mild inflation can add up. When this happens, and you own a long-term bond whose rate doesn’t change, you could face a potential loss of purchasing power. One of the reasons that long-term bonds pay higher interest rates than short-term bonds is because the issuers of longer-term instruments are rewarding you for taking on this additional inflation risk.

Even if the value of your long-term bonds falls, isn’t it worthwhile to hold on to them? After all, as long as your bond doesn’t default — and if the bond is considered “investment grade,” a default is unlikely — you will get a steady source of income

Consequently, simply holding on to long-term bonds — especially very long-term ones, such as those that mature in 30 years — may not be the best strategy. If you review your fixedincome holdings and find that they skew strongly toward longer-term bonds, you may want to consider reducing your exposure in this area. If you did sell some of these bonds, you could use

In Mardela Springs, there is a wonderful museum complex that spans almost every aspect of life in Barren Creek Springs in the 19th century. The Adkins Historical and Museum Complex was developed in 1980 by J. Howard and Louise Adkins. The Adkins Complex has ten historical buildings with exhibits depicting the way of life of the 19th century. One of the buildings located here is the Bratten-Taylor Village Store which was built in 1838 and was originally located on Main Street in Mardela Springs. The building was moved to the Adkins Complex in 2000. The store is full of artifacts that depict the era of the store when it was in business. Also within the store is the vast collection of research on local families and the surrounding area completed by Mr. and Mrs. Adkins. Other buildings at the Adkins Complex are: the English-Gravenor One Room School, Young’s Purchase Farmhouse, a Doctor’s Office, Memorial Building, Cannery Warehouse, Livery Stable, Odd Fellows Hall, Whitelock Victorian House and Rockawalkin Train

Depot. All of these buildings contain artifacts and exhibits that detail the various aspects of life in a small town like Mardela Springs. The Odd Fellows Hall is available to hold meetings and other events at the Adkins Complex as well as the Whitelock Victorian House. On Thursday, July 4th the Adkins Complex will be hosting an event to celebrate the 4th of July from 10 AM to 2 PM. There will be BBQ Chicken Platters, Hot dogs and hamburgers, homemade ice cream and baked goods. Also there will be entertainment including singing groups and bands. There will be plenty of fun for the kids with barrel train rides, a model train exhibition and games for the entire family! Also in July, the Adkins Complex is running a Victorian Girls camp from July 22- July 26. The camp concentrates on activities from the Victorian era as well as the late 1800’s. The girls change into Victorian era clothing upon arrival and learn how to cook baked goods such as blueberry muffins and hardtack. This year the girls will also learn how to make homemade ice cream! The girls will enjoy a wagon ride around town ending at a local alpaca farm, the owner of which weaves cloth on a loom and will give the campers a demonstration. The campers will also learn what it CONTINUEDÊONÊPAGEÊ12

An entertaining and educational evening that is coordinated with the July gallery show, Land, Sea and Sky: Arctic Art, and has the objective of bringing the art and the viewer closer together. Land, Sea and Sky: Arctic Art is an eclectic exhibit of Inuit art from the inhabitants of villages spread across the Arctic north of Canada, each village so isolated that it develops its own distinctive style. This is art unlike that found anywhere else in the world: unique in what inspires it, unique in the tools and materials used to produce it. Bernadette Driscoll Engelstad, a curator of Inuit art and producer of many Inuit art exhibitions, will speak about the people, their lives in the Arctic regions, the history of the art, and how it all relates to life on the Eastern Shore.

Dear Ann, My daughter’s landlord is insisting that she buy the house she is renting from him. He wants her to sign something called a “Lease-Option”. Should she do this? From Betty in Hebron

Dear Betty, I can share some information with you about Lease Option Agreements. Lease Option Agreements are legal in the state of Maryland and enforceable provided that they are properly drafted. Like many legal agreements, especially agreements that affect real property, there are state statutes that set out what must be included in Lease Option Agreements – and what cannot be in them. So, of course, anyone thinking about signing such an agreement would want to review it with her own attorney before signing it. If you think about the name, “Lease Option” it is easy to realize that such an agreement has two parts. One part is the lease, which usually provides that the tenant renting the property has the right to occupy it under the conditions in the lease

and for a specified period of time. But a lease also imposes upon the tenant the obligation to pay the rent for a certain period of time. If the tenant does not pay all of the rent as it comes due, the landlord has legal rights against the tenant. Exactly what these rights will be are determined both by the language of the lease and by Maryland law. The other part of a “Lease Option” is an “option”. In this context, an option generally gives the tenant the right, but not the obligation, to buy the leased property for a certain period of time and at a price and on the terms stated in the option agreement. There is one very important aspect of an option agreement. It must be supported by consideration. That means that the person buying the option must actually give the property owner something of value for the option or the option may not be legally enforceable. The property owner gets to keep the consideration received for the option whether the tenant completes the purchase of the property or not. But if the tenant decides not to go ahead and buy the property, the tenant has no further legal liability under most options. Usually, Lease Option Agreements are not recorded among the land records. So, it could be possible CONTINUEDÊONÊPAGEÊ30

spoken with the person thinking of signing it. And I wouldn’t think of telling you what you should tell your daughter. I can reassure you that Lease Option Agreements are not uncommon and such an agreement could be to your daughter’s advantage. But she needs to take the agreement to her own attorney for review and discussion before she signs it. In Maryland, the law may be pretty much, “You signed it; you’re stuck with it.” So getting legal advice after-the-fact may be too late.

that only the landlord and the tenant know about the option. But, if the tenant is living at the optioned property, the tenant’s possession of the property puts others on notice that the tenant may have some legal rights to the property. This is called “inquiry notice”. Someone else who might want to buy the property is put on notice to inquire from the tenant whether or not the tenant already has an option to purchase the property. It’s interesting that your daughter’s landlord is pushing her to enter into a Lease Option Agreement. My opinion is that an option is generally more beneficial for the tenant than it is for the landlord. Holding an option, if property values go up during the term of the option, the tenant still has the right to buy the property at the price stated in the option. If property values go down, the tenant most likely has no legal obligation to purchase the property at all. But, I have talked with many landlords who want their tenants to have Lease Option Agreements. The rationale is that a tenant who has some interest in buying the property will be more dependable about paying the rent and will take better care of the property. Of course, I cannot say if your daughter, or anybody else, should sign any agreement when I have never read the agreement or

University Gallery, Salisbury University -  Closing Reception: September 7, 4:00pm  The lyrics to the beloved Woody Guthrie song, “This land was made for you and me,” present an assumption about our natural world, primarily that it is there to serve man. In turn, the land is “made” by us through altering ecosystems, extracting resources, and agriculture. The work of the different artists presented in this exhibition explore man’s relationship with nature, presenting nuanced views of how the land (and sea) are shaped both physically and figuratively by human activities.

and fish. To add insult to injury the flooded road makes it near impossible to transport construction materials for a desperately needed medical center that Genesis World Mission is funding.

My entire life, I have always sought out ways that I can make a difference in the lives of others. When I realized their mission is ‘Service above Self,’ I knew I found an organization that really spoke to my heart.

Tracy Ritter is the International Director of Genesis World Mission a non-profit in Boise, Idaho. She works remotely from her home in Salisbury to coordinate their humanitarian efforts and is also a Rotarian of the Salisbury Sunrise Club.

There are many Rotary Clubs all over Delmarva. One of the benefits of belonging to any Rotary Club, is that you are welcome to attend any other Rotary Club meetings. It is a great way to connect to others with the same vision and mission. Recently, I met Tracy Ritter, a Rotarian in the Salisbury Sunrise Rotary Club. Rotarians across Delmarva are extremely involved in community projects, which I will highlight in later this year. This month, we are beaming a spotlight on the Salisbury Sunrise Rotary Club’s International Charitable efforts. The Salisbury Sunrise Rotary Club and The Malindi Rotary Club of Kenya are sponsoring a Rotary global grant to place two culverts in an access road in Burangi, Kenya. Members of the Burangi community cleared 10 miles of dense bush with hand tools to build a road that unfortunately has 2 low-lying areas that flood during the rainy season preventing them access to the local markets to sell produce

Genesis World Mission is a Christian human health organization that coordinates networks of like-minded partners to empower underserved communities to improve health outcomes. Genesis inspires healthcare solutions for communities in need in a very unique way – through empowerment, or even better said, by giving a voice to those who are ignored. The synergy gained through the network of partnerships prevents the proverbial “black hole”. Those who choose to donate are guaranteed that 100 % of their donation will go to those who deserve help, empowering them to help themselves. The key to this empowerment model is the active participation of community members themselves giving them control of their future. That control restores hope and value. Hope and value drive sustainable improvements of day-to-day living, without the need of continual humanitarian aid from outside donors. CONTINUEDÊONÊPAGEÊ40

Life in Burangi is hard, but the people are resilient and hopeful, despite the fact that they experience absolute poverty and have no access to reliable health facilities. The doctor-patient ratio in Kenya is 1 to 19,502, where it is 1 to every 300 people in the United States. But that does not stop this community from wanting the same things we all want – food, clean water, shelter, health care – basic needs. As one Grandmother in Burangi told Tracy, “I will be here everyday to help build this clinic. I lost my daughter to complications of childbirth and now I am raising her child. Her life could have been saved if we had a clinic and soon we will have one!” Rotary has been an active partner with Genesis World Mission providing funding for various projects since 2010, living out the Rotarian motto, “Service Above Self”. Both organizations share the mission of giving a hand up, not a hand out. Lao Tzu said it best, “Go to the people; live with them, learn from them, love them. Start with what they know, build with what they have. But of the best leaders, when the job is done, the task accomplished, the people will say: “We have done it ourselves.”

Since 1925 The Chincoteague Island Pony Swim has been the centerpiece for life on this tiny island off the coast of Virginia. Much of Chincoteague Island’s business community was destroyed by fire in the previous five years. The Fire Department needed to raise funds for new equipment and decided to hold a Firemen’s Carnival that July, featuring the first Pony Swim and Auction. Fifteen pony foals were sold and a new tradition was born. Word spread over the years, and in 1947, Marguerite Henry released her soon to be classic book for children, called Misty of Chincoteague. Learn more about this book by clicking here: Misty of Chincoteague information. With the Town’s permission, the Chincoteague Fire Department assumed ownership of the wild Chincoteague pony herd on Assateague Island. The herd numbers around 150 ponies and has become quite accustomed to the annual roundup. This is where the Salt Water Cowboys come into play. This elite band of experts guarantee the safety of the Chincoteague ponies during drive and then lead them to the Carnival ground corrals where there are

examined by a veterinarian before the auction the next day. Phase two of the world-famous Chincoteague Pony Swim happens on Friday, when the remaining stallions and mares swim back across the channel. Mares with very young foals will remain on Chincoteague Island until later in the fall season. The Salt Water Cowboys take them back to Assateague in October when the entire herd gets a thorough veterinary examination. When you visit Chincoteague Island during the last 10 days of July, you’ll be in for an exciting time, along with the other 50,000+ visitors to the Island! The Chincoteague Island Blueberry Festival is held the Friday, Saturday and Sunday before the Pony Swim and Auction and is a great kick-off to this family-friendly event. So, bring the kids and come enjoy all that Chincoteague has to offer during this special time of year.

“A wild, ringing neigh shrilled up from the hold of the Spanish galleon. It was not the cry of an animal in hunger. It was a terrifying bugle. An alarm call.” “The captain of the Santo Cristo strode the poop deck. ‘Cursed be that stallion!’ he muttered under his breath as he stamped forward and back, forward and back.” Thus begins the tale of Misty of Chincoteague, a fictional pony beloved of countless schoolchildren since Marguerite Henry’s classic was published in 1947. Although the real story of how Chincoteague ponies came to inhabit the marshes of Assateague Island has never been established, These though, intelligent, and independent little horses have been entwined in the culture of Chincoteague Island for at least three hundred years. A trip to the tiny island during the final week of July will find you as one of tens of thousands of visitors from around the world eagerly anticipating the annual Chincoteague Pony Penning and Auction. The practice of pony

penning began with the early settlers of Virginia’s Eastern Shore, who used both Chincoteague and Assateague Islands as grazing grounds. When a few families settled permanently on Chincoteague in the early 18th century, they continued penning in order to collect, brand, and break their loose ponies.

e u of d al d y

Penning soon became a social highlight on the 18th century Chincoteague calendar, with feasting and revelry enjoyed by all the island families. Dr. Thompson Holmes, a Chincoteague resident, was the first to publish a decription of the Assateague penning in

1835, referring to seafood and “exhilarating liquor” as part of the celebration. Although pony penning on Chincoteague Island has been occurring since the 1850s, the Pony Penning of today didn’t start until 1925. Following a series of nearly disastrous fires, the people of Chincoteague Island realized they needed both updated fire fighting equipment and the means to pay for it.They began holding a carnival managed by the volunteer fire deparment during Pony Penning. During the first carnival, fifteen young ponies were auctioned CONTINUEDÊONÊPAGEÊ60

to raise funds for the new fire equipment. Word of the pony swim and auction soon reached the Virginia shore, and within 12 years the crowd for Chincoteague’s carnival and Pony Penning exceeded 25,000. In 1947, the year Misty of Chincoteague was published, the Chioncoteague Fire Department began breeding and grazing their own herd of ponies at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on Assateague Island. When attending the Pony Penning, you’ll be kept busy watching the Saltwater Cowboys herd their equine charges out of the Wildlife Refuge at low tide and swim them across the Assateague Channel to be penned,

examined, and auctioned off. But in your spare time, you can enjoy all the live entertainment, raffle drawings, and summertime fare that any seashore carnival can offer. If you’re lucky, you may even win the first colt or filly to make it out of the water and be crowned King or Queen of Neptune. If you’re coming to buy a Chincoteague foal, however, be prepared for some stiff competition. The average price for the 78 foals sold in 2006 was over $2100 dollars. But for all the former schoolchildren who remember Misty through the mists of time, that price isn’t nearly high enough!

Ron Michaels taught Special Needs Children for 30 years and was always looking for ways to engage them in learning and in looking at things in new and different ways. He found photography and especially nature shots to be both inspiring as well as therapeutic. Sometimes he would wait days or even months for just the right shot. This was particularly true when photographing at the Commercial Docks in West Ocean City, Md. He waited for a foggy, misty morning to achieve and impressionistic quality his work. Ron does not believe in “photo shopping” his work, rather believes in a more natural approach. He also enjoys black and white photography as well as color. It depends on my subject as to which style, composition or mood I wish to create. He recently won 3rd place Amateur Photographer at the Ward Museum with his piece titled “….”

beavers, neutering deer, erecting the Yucca Mountain of chickensh–t and composting pee...I’m on a roll here. When you’ve been saving the Bay since the 1980s and just moved the finish line from 2010 to 2025, it’s time to get creative.

beginning of Bambi’s impact. Deer are major vectors for the ticks that spread Lyme disease, whose threat has become a major barrier to enjoying our outdoors. Stepped-up research for a deerspecific contraceptive should be seen as a major component of natural resource management. We Crazy Like a Fox Ideas need something deliverable in feed that won’t affect other species that to Save the Bay might eat it, or eat a deer. A Nobel Prize awaits. Did I mention taxing babies? Landfills are so twentiethOnce, Bay rivers reverberated to the century, and Yucca Mountain, the slapping tails of millions of beavers, granddaddy of them all, where we whose gnawing was night music planned to bury nuclear wastes, throughout the landscape, although appears dead in the Nevada desert. few humans were here to hear. Yet, right here in Bay country we have And now, millions of us, fewer a tempting, if politically incorrect beavers, and the Bay sorely misses argument for landfilling mountains the beavers’ countless dams and of poultry litter that pollute our ponds and bogs and sloughs that rivers. The litter’s rich in phosphorus, damped the polluted runoff we now which is the problem; too many spend billions of dollars assuaging farm soils are already saturated with with our crude human devices. it. Meanwhile, even as we debate So close the hatcheries for oysters, when the world will run short on oil, blue crabs, trout and shad. Breed come warnings that we will soon run beavers. Deliver them by FedEx, short of phosphorus, mined in only by UPS, in the dead of night in a couple places. Some serious ag unmarked trucks manned by scientists think it not crazy to create grinning greenies, to resurrect their large, leakproof landfills in poultry empire throughout the watershed. hotspots to ‘bank’ excess manure, I suggest quite the opposite for to be extracted as world phosphorus deer, which have burgeoned in prices soar. the absence of predators, in the Tourists might flock to the new, presence of agriculture and in the highest point on Maryland’s refuges of suburban sprawl, where Eastern Shore; and in Virginia’s hunting them is near impossible. Shennandoah Valley to view the Overgrazing forests is only the scenic adjunct to the Blue Ridge.

But don’t just go pickin’ on chicken. Scintillating opportunities exist to separate pee from poop in our own wastes. It’s the former that holds much of the nutrients we spend billions to take out with modern sewage plants. Pee’s the problem, and not so yucky as poop, and sterile to boot. It can be composted and turned into a transportable, marketable fertilizer. No less than the Chesapeake Bay Foundation has looked into the possibility at a state-of-the-art environment center that it’s building in Virginia Beach. And think of the jobs: retrofitting bathrooms and sewer lines throughout the watershed for dual waste streams. Hmmm, maybe pump it into scenic, golden lakes, adjacent to our scenic chicken poop mountains. Most radical of all in the land of bigger equals better is a more serious pursuit of conservation, of downsizing. It’s not rocket science how Europeans enjoy a quality of life similar to ours on considerably less energy and land for housing. They live smaller. Ever try to buy a small stove or fridge here with all the bells and whistles of big ones? Or a small luxury car? We should reform tax policies to encourage smaller homes, smaller cars, smaller appliances—smaller families. And tax savagely any home larger than 1,250 square feet, any car that

does not get 40 mpg, any yard more than a quarter acre, any children born into a family that already has two. All the above numbers are sciencebased and, more importantly, maximize tax bennies to the author of this column. At the risk of ending reasonably, a plug for revisiting the Clean Air Act as the most cost-effective way to cut bay pollution. Most studies say reducing farm runoff affords the most bay cleanup for one’s buck; but if one adds to dirty air’s impacts on the bay its costs to human health, then cranking down harder on air pollution looks like a deal, too. Failure to achieve bay goals can be oddly liberating, an excuse to think creatively. There’s nothing crazy or impractical about learning from beavers, about rethinking approaches to wastes, about reconsidering the sanctity of growth and bigness or the notion that hunters alone should set deer population policy.
