Summer Fun is here! The bounty of summer begins to really flow
through the local farmer’s markets now … and there are many new ones
this year, so check out our regional list closely to see if one has opened
near your home! And, what do you do with all this fresh produce? We’ve
excerpted recipes from a really fabulous new cookbook, “Dishing Up
Maryland” by Lucie L. Snodgrass, Stoney Publishing. And, we have a
copy for a lucky reader.
And, of course, we love summer on the Chesapeake Bay. I know there
are a lot of power boaters in our readership, but you can’t deny the beauty
of a full sail, boat heeled over, skimming through the water without a
sound. Roger Miller captures the beauty of sailing in his coffee table
book, “Annapolis, Sailing Capital of Maryland,” Image Publishing. And,
we have a copy for a lucky reader!
WIN FREE BOOKS
Win a free book! Simply email us at info@mdarrive.
com and tell us your favorite summer activity – where,
what and why. Please include any other comments
about your favorite things about ARRIVE, as well. We
now publish your Letters (page 8) and hope that you
will continue to share with us what you enjoy … it helps us to plan our
future editions!
FOLLOW VICKI IN ITALY
For my summer fun, I’m taking a vacation to Italy. I have been
chained to my desk for the last two summers, though my family found ways to leave the state more than once with friends or
Scouting adventures! Now it’s my turn! I will be visiting Rome
and Florence, and staying in two separate villas in Tuscany.
Sarteano is located near the Umbrian border; Siena is more
well known, a medieval walled city that will hold one of the
world’s great festivals while we are there, the Palio.
With technology, we can stay in touch. I’m sure many of
you have been to some or all of these destinations … I want your tips and
suggestions to make the most of our visit. So, FOLLOW VICKI IN
ITALY on our Facebook page, and guide me to your favorite sculptures,
restaurants, wineries and gelato. It’s very simple – just go to www.facebook.
com/mdarrive. You may have to create a screen name, but you don’t have
to provide any factual information, photos of yourself or anything. You will
be able to “follow me,” as I visit great destinations for art, wine and the
scenic countryside of Tuscany. I will include lots of posts on history, art,
fun facts, recipes and more! And, by joining our Facebook page, you will
be entered to win a dinner for two with me at a local Italian restaurant.
Listen for our radio spots on WLIF-101.9 Lite-fm., or go to our

Editor’s Note: Sherry told us she
heard from many friends and family who
saw her story last month. To Sherry’s
surprise, many had no idea that she was
a Tool Totin’ Mama!
WHAT IS THAT?
I picked up ARRIVE magazine at
Richardson’s Florist in Bel Air. What

to watch for as is the EVENT calendar. Thanks for such a fun magazine.

I’m writing to Sherry Jordan, your

We live in Lutherville and thought
it was so cool to have you live in our

closet project you did, it looked great!
Erin & George, Lutherville
Congratulations, Vicki! You really
have a knack. I love the look of your

One of these days I’ll have
resources to advertise again. In the

Beer
S
Summer’s here – time for hot crabs, trips to the beach, baseball games (despite the
Orioles’ woes), neighborhood cookouts, Fourth of July fireworks, and, for many
of us, cold, refreshing beer. Yes, a glass or two of wine is also nice, as is a festive,
frozen cocktail, but when it’s sticky hot outside and you’re sitting in your backyard,
there’s just nothing like a cold beer to satisfy your thirst.
Of course, if you go into any major liquor store, the number of beer flavors,
brands and types is endless. Light beers, dark beers, low carb, organic, fruity,
domestic, imported, flavored … you name it! Everyone has their own preference
when it comes to beer; some are brand loyal (my brother has been drinking Bud
Light almost exclusively for as long as I can remember), while others change with
the season or whatever trendy diet they are trying out. For this column, I decided
to share some of my personal favorite summer beers made by local breweries. The
Mason-Dixon region is packed with local breweries – some small ones that only
offer their beers at their brew pub, as well as some larger ones that distribute all
along the East Coast or even nationwide.
Typically, pilsners, lagers, pale ales, wheat beers and Hefeweizen (especially
with a nice lemon slice) are my personal summer favorites. Others like
fruity beers in the summer, and,
although not a big fan myself, I
decided to include some here, too.
Heavy Seas Beer, Baltimore,
hsbeer.com
Hugh Sisson is regarded as
Baltimore’s craft beer pioneer, as he
successfully lobbied the Maryland
legislature to legalize brewpubs and
then began brewing professionally
in 1989. He founded Clipper City
in 1994, and the brewery now goes
by the name of Heavy Seas Beer and
several of its beers can be found at
your local liquor store. I’ve tried many
different flavors, but in the summer,
my favorite is Small Craft Warning,
a pale beer that packs a punch and
perfect for enjoying on the sailboat
(although not particularly if there is
actually a small craft warning on the
Chesapeake Bay). I also a big fan of
the Loose Cannon-American Hop3
Ale, which has a refreshing citrus
taste to it. If you’re a fan of a “hoppy”
beer, then this is the summer beer
for you. You also can’t go wrong with
Heavy Seas’ Classic Lager, Pale Ale
(great with burgers on the grill) or
the Gold Ale, which is a bit more
fruity and floral. In June, Heavy Seas
also launched its first Summer Ale,
which they say is a crisp and refreshing beer paired well with grilled
seafood and salads. I’ll have to try one
the next time I’m out.
Dogfish Head Craft Brewery,
Milton, Del., dogfish.com
What began in 1995 as Delaware’s
first brewpub and the smallest commercial brewery in America, Dogfish
Head is now one of the fastest growing breweries in America. After
outgrowing their original distribution
space, Dogfish Head moved to a
100,000-square-foot converted cannery in Milton, while also maintaining its Rehoboth Beach restaurant
and brewpub. Dogfish Head was one
of the first restaurants I tried during
my initial visit to Rehoboth in the
’90s, and I have been hooked ever
since. My favorite summer beer is
the brewery’s Shelter Pale Ale, which
is the first brew Dogfish Head pro-
duced in 1995 and is a very versatile
beer. Dogfish also has a nice seasonal
summer beer – Festina Peche, which
is fermented with peaches, a flavor
that is subtle and pleasing to the palate.
The Brewer’s Art, Baltimore,
thebrewersart.com
Housed in a historic rowhouse in
Mt. Vernon, this venerable brewery
also houses a sexy lounge area and
top-notch restaurant. More and more
liquor stores now carry some of its
beers, and recently is was reported
that The Brewer’s Art Resurrection
beer will soon by available in a
12-ounce variety. For a somewhat
hoppy, yet balanced beer, try the
Beacon, or my personal favorite,
Resurrection, an Abbey-style beer
that packs a flavorful punch (and
with a 7 percent alcohol level, one or
two Resurrections go a long way).
Ellicott Mills Brewing Co.,
Ellicott City,
ellicottmillsbrewing.com
Although I must admit I have not
Com
plete
been in a few years, I have fond summertime memories of this brewery,
which began in 1997. Try the Mazen,
a deep amber that is a little sweet;
the Kolsch, a golden ale-lager combo;
or the Boomerang, an Austrian-style
lager. The restaurant is also quite
good.
Red Brick Station, White
Marsh, redbrickstation.com
I used to live in Perry Hall years
ago and frequented this independently
owned and operated restaurant and
brewery quite often. When it’s hot
out, you can’t go wrong with the
Honeygo Lite, which may be light in
color but not in flavor, or the Avenue
Ale, a golden-colored ale that will
satisfy any beer drinker who prefers a
wheat-style beer.
The great thing about beer is that –
no matter what your personal preference
is – there really is no wrong answer, so
sit back and enjoy a cold one!

summer reading
Summertime often gives us some
extra “free time” to do the things
that we never seem to have time for
during the school year, such as home
improvement, starting a new hobby or
taking day trips. Summer also gives
us time to catch up on our reading –
no, not emails or Internet blogs – but
actual reading of beautifully crafted
words in the form of books.
So, summer vacation starts now.

The Case for Native Plants
N
Native plants are the plants that were
here when the European settlers
arrived. They grow where they are
comfortable with the soil, light, availability of water, and summer and winter temperatures. By their presence
they tell us about disturbances to the
land and what kinds of birds, mammals, reptiles and insects we are likely
to find. Every area of the country has
plants that are unique to that area and
give us a sense of place. They make
the mountains of North Carolina and
Tennessee special, the rolling hills of
Maryland and Virginia idyllic, the
grasslands of Wyoming and Montana
seem endless. They have adapted
to their habitat and tell us what we
should be looking for when conditions
in our own gardens are similar – a
dry, south facing slope, a spring fed
meadow or a shady woodland.
Native plants grow along streams
and wetlands and control erosion
with their root system. They purify
the air and help filter the water as it
seeps into the ground. They are also
the best means of support for the
creatures below us on the food chain,
both visible and invisible. These creatures evolved with native plants and
it takes centuries for them to change
their tastes and ability to absorb
nutrients. Doug Tallamy, the author
of Bringing Nature Home, has done
research into the nature of the food
that insects, in particular, eat and
found that native insects eat substan-
tially more native plants than nonnative plants. Tolerating a little bit
of munching on leaves is, obviously,
good for maintaining biodiversity.
Native plants have adapted to our
climate and are seldom killed or damaged by early or late frosts. When
we try to grow a plant from another
place, we may find it’s affected by
the weather more than a native plant.
Regionally, native plants have had
centuries to evolve within their growing zone and know that blooming too
early means no insects to pollinate
their blooms so that they can set seed
and reproduce.
Native plants also produce the
pollens, nectars, fruits and seeds that
native birds, insects and animals need,
when they need it. The coral honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens) comes
into bloom just before the rubythroated hummingbird returns to its
breeding territory and provides nectar
– and aphids, a source of protein – for
the nesting birds. The serviceberry
(Amelanchier spp.) blooms early in the
spring and its fruit ripens in June so
that nesting birds have food for their
chicks. In the fall, the red fruits of
the native flowering dogwood are full
of fat when migrating songbirds need

it to fatten up for their long flights south.
In my small suburban garden I don’t plant annuals. I
want to experience the changing seasons and the variety of
plants in bloom or fruit at different times. I also want to see
insects hovering over a flower and birds feeding on nectar
and seeds (and nesting in trees nearby). I’m always pleased
to see the fruits on my winterberry holly (Ilex verticillata)
disappear in mid-February when the mockingbirds get
really hungry and the coral honeysuckle come into bloom
in late April when the hummingbirds are due. My fringe
tree (Chionanthus virginicus) blooms in early May when
the weeds are getting going, so I weed while breathing its
perfume. In the summer I like to watch the flower flies,
solitary bees and butterflies feed on my purple coneflowers
(Echinacea purpurea), heleniums, great blue lobelia (Lobelia
siphilitica), goldenrods (Solidago spp.) and Joe-Pye weed
(Eupatorium maculatum). And when the goldfinches come
for the seeds on the purple coneflowers I know it’s time to
think about fall chores.
I find that my native plants take little extra water once
established, no fertilizer other than the compost or mulch
that keeps the weeds down and no spraying with chemicals
(the occasional tomato hornworm can be removed by hand!).
I rely on the beneficial insects and birds to keep my plants
free of harmful bugs and the weather to keep them watered
– so I can spend more time enjoying them.

Gathering at the Mill
T
The Deer Creek valley in which Eden Mill resides
has long been a gathering place in Harford County,
even before there was a Harford County! And, it’s
always been a place where partnerships and cooperation are front and center to getting a job done. From
its pre-Colonial days as a Susquehannock seasonal
camp, to its present use as a community nature center,
the valley and the mill have attracted people with a
purpose.
The grist mill, built in the early 1800s, grew over
the centuries to incorporate several outbuildings and
associated businesses, including a small farm, saw
mill and ice house. The mansion on the hill, overlooking the mill, though presently not a part of Eden
Mill Nature Center, hints at the wealth and status
local millers acquired over the generations until technology and consolidation made water-powered milling obsolete in the 1960s.
Today, the mill and its outbuildings continue
to serve community interests as Eden Mill Nature
Center. A long-standing partnership between
Harford County Parks and Recreation and the nonprofit Eden Mill Nature Committee provides leadership and advocacy through an active board of direc-
tors, a large body of volunteers and county staff. Since
1990, Parks and Recreation and EMNC have worked
together to provide the community with educational
opportunities for children, adults and families.
Deer Creek winds its way through the hundredacre park, past the mill, which sits majestically along
the creek bank, a 20-foot-high mill dam spanning
the waters, creating a reserve of power for the mill.
Behind the dam, the creek is slow and deep, forming a mile-long mill pond perfect for kayaking and
canoeing. Eden Mill offers Twilight Canoe trips
each Tuesday and Thursday. Always a popular family activity, Twilight trips are by reservation and fill
quickly. Trips run May through September, and are
led by trained guides and volunteers.
Families enjoy weekend programs and special
events. A full menu of activities can be found on the
website, edenmill.org. In addition, summer camps
and youth programs are a mainstay of summer time.
Check out the website schedule for more information.
History buffs will love the historic mill complete with
three generations of grist milling technology, artifact
exhibits and a small hydro-room, which provided
electricity to rural local communities. Mill tours can
be arranged for groups by e-mailing
or calling the nature center. The
nature center contains a large exhibit
of mounted and live Piedmont animals and is open daily free of charge.
Adults interested in more rigorous opportunities may want to join a
canoe or kayak class, take a wildlife
photography or ornithology course.
Bird banding, ecosystem restoration
projects and day trips are offered
throughout the year. Teachers will
want to contact the nature center to
reserve a program day for students.
And, of course, volunteers are always
welcomed. It is really the volunteer
group that provides the power for the
mill nowadays, helping with everything from program leadership to
office help and trails maintenance.
One of the most popular volunteer
activities, especially among scout and
community groups, is trail crew. Five
miles of hiking trails crisscross the
park, and there are always chores to
be done: brushing out, sign maintenance, trail clearing and resurfacing
– even bridge building! Occasionally
a flood or an overly ambitious beaver
will relocate or reduce a footbridge to
the point it cannot be used. Beavers
can be a challenge, but they are the
wild and natural residents of the park,
so trail crews smile and clean up the
fallen tree or chewed bridge plank …
just part of the job.
Wildlife is what really captures the
hearts of park visitors at Eden Mill.
The steep wooded valley is blanketed
in mature hickory and oak forest,
sheltering all manner of canopy birds
from neo-tropical warblers in summer
to perching birds of prey like bald
eagles, osprey and owls. Woodpeckers
hammer throughout the day while
nighthawks swoop for moths at
night. Bats flutter from hollow trees
at sundown, gracing the creek with
playful arcs and dips as they munch
up mosquitoes. Twilight paddlers can
often be heard thanking the bats for
their sweeps through a line of canoes,
clearing the air of pesky bugs.
The high meadows have been
restored to Piedmont grassland, a
project that was started seven years
ago, to encourage the growth of
native meadow plants and habitat
for creatures not found in forests.
Young paddlers receive safety training in preparation for their first kayak expedition up Deer Creek (opposite); Beekeeping classes are very popular.
Rotational mowing and invasive
management such as the removal of
multiflora rose, Japanese honeysuckle
and other introduced plant invaders.
Native wildflowers will start a riot
of blooms in July and last until frost,
attracting dozens of species of native
pollinators like butterflies, moths,
bees and ants.
Managing the landscape for
diverse habitats and not just allowing
“nature to take its course” can be a
challenge. What appears to be a wild
meadow is actually the product of
repeated trimmings, mowing, mass
planting and lots of monitoring. The
payoff, however, is worth the work as
Eden Mill functions as a collection of
diverse habitats, providing biodiversity, resilience and adaptability to the
ecosystems contained within the park
boundaries. Nowhere else in Harford
County can a hiker spend an hour in
all five of the Piedmont’s most treasured habitats: wetlands, mature ridge
forest, meadow, ravine and riparian
woods.
The wildlife watcher will want
to come early to discover the wild
residents at Eden Mill. Be prepared
with binoculars and camera for beaver, otter and mink along the creek
banks. Muskrat inhabit the wetlands
along with their neighbors, nesting
geese and ducks. Wood ducks whistle
down the ravines, and indigo buntings, orioles, turkeys and bobwhites
light up the morning hours with calls
and songs. The occasional snapping
turtle will nest within full view of the
nature center deck or wander along
the grassy picnic area long before
the first park visitors arrive for the
day. At night a coyote howl or great
horned owl will echo down the creek
valley, under the stars and moon.
The mill may not function as it
once did, a gathering place of farmers,
merchants, rural families and travelers. But in a way it is as gathering
place just the same, of people who
share a love of nature and history and
community.

gone green
Refill, Not Landfill
A local chemical company leads the way
W
When most people hear the word “chemical,” the word “green” is probably not the next
one that comes to mind. Likewise, most people would not naturally think that a chemical company would be an instrumental part of the green movement, not to mention a
pioneer in “going green.” However, this is just the case with ChemStation, which has
been a steward of the environment since 1984.
ChemStation, a nationwide company headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, with an independently-owned Chesapeake franchise that services Maryland, Delaware, Northern
Virginia and other parts of the Mid-Atlantic, creates environmentally-friendly cleaning
products for industrial and commercial use. Patrick Gormley, sales manager for the local
ChemStation franchise, explains that the company customizes cleaners for hundreds
of different applications; however, the actual products are just a part of ChemStation’s
secret to minimizing environmental impact.
The key to ChemStation’s success lies in the way that the cleaners are delivered.
After local manufacturers custom formulate these environmentally-friendly products, they are delivered in refillable containers via a DOT-approved holding tank on
a ChemStation delivery truck. “These are reusable containers, so there is no need for
drum disposal or return. Also, the containers are delivered locally – no cross-country
delivery is used – so this further reduces our carbon footprint,” Gormley says. Jeanette
ChemStation’s eco-conscious chemicals
are used in a variety of applications
(opposite); refillable containers are the
key to the company’s green approach.
Partlow, company president, adds that
the cleaners are concentrated, made
specifically to each company’s specifications, with little water shipped.
The refillable ChemStation tanks
are placed at each client’s facility,
and customers are only charged for
actual gallons delivered. Tank levels
are monitored by ChemStation, which
will manufacture fresh product and
deliver it as needed to the refillable
tank. This use of reusable containers
is the key to the company’s slogan
of “It’s Refill … Not Landfill!” The
company states that this use of refillable containers prevents hundreds
of thousands of empty drums and
totes from going to already overfilled
landfills. And since this has been
ChemStation’s way of doing business
since it started in 1984, it emphasizes
that “going green” is nothing new.
Partlow says that a large part of
ChemStation’s client base is the food
and beverage industry. “This field
requires a lot of cleaning in compli-
ance with food and safety regulations.
Cleanliness is part of our customers’ image, branding and corporate
identity,” she says. Gormley adds that
warehouses utilize ChemStation for
flooring and equipment cleaning, as
do local municipalities to clean repair
trucks. “These repair trucks interface
with the public, so the companies
want them to look attractive and be
environmentally friendly in any way
they can,” he says.
Gormley notes that one of the
challenges is to assure companies that
environmentally-friendly cleaners
work just as well as their traditional
cleaning counterparts. “The chemistry of cleaners is constantly improving, and years ago no one knew of a
green cleaner. However, you can’t just
produce a product that is green but
does not work effectively. Our job is
to create better, safer and more effective products.”
Another challenge ChemStation
faces, Gormley says, is that there is
a perception that green products and
practices cost more. “The economy
has put a hiccup in the green movement because green products do
sometimes require more effort and
can cost more. However, ultimately
this is where everything is going.
Everyone is looking for suppliers
who engage in green practices, those
who can create safer chemicals and
reduce water consumption,” Gormley
says.
As a locally-owned franchise
model, being environmentally conscious is even more important to
companies like ChemStation. “We
live, work, play, bike and fish in our
local communities. As we become
more knowledgeable about sustainability and small businesses continue
to the leaders of our economy, it’s
clear that to be economically viable,
you must be stewards of the environment,” adds Partlow.

Editor’s Note: Ann Didusch Schuler, a noted Baltimore painter and co-founder of the Schuler School
of Fine Art, died in late May at age 92 after a lengthy illness. In the weeks before, she granted an
interview with Mason-Dixon ARRIVE.
F
Famed author Tom Wolfe in his book The Painted Word had this to say about modern art
history as it stood in the 1970s: “In the beginning we got rid of nineteenth-century storybook realism. Then we got rid of representational objects. Then we got rid of the third
dimension altogether and got really flat. Then we got rid of airiness, brushstrokes, most of
the paint, and the last viruses of drawing and complicated designs.”
Wolfe’s attack on the culture of modernism was inspired by New York Times art critic
Hilton Kramer, who opined in the Times review that realistic art was “lacking something
crucial,” that is, “a persuasive theory.” Wolfe, who some have called a cultural historian,
facetiously noted that Kramer’s lofty terms, when boiled down to their essence, meant that
“These days, without a theory to go with it, I can’t see a painting.”
Wolfe’s epiphany set off a raging debate in the art world and must have struck Ann
Didusch Schuler, one of the founders of the Schuler School of Fine Art in Baltimore, as a
moment that could not have come too soon. By the time Wolfe wrote his book, 16 years had
passed since Schuler and her husband, sculptor Hans Schuler, Jr., had drawn a line in the
sand and made a commitment to classical realism.
After graduating from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 1940, she studied briefly
at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Schuler turned down an opportunity to study in
Ann Schuler’s commitment to classical realism is evident from her range in painting subjects from a winter storm (opposite) to
children and pets (above), as well as a self-portrait (above right).
Paris, a decision made necessary by
the Nazi invasion of France in World
War II. Her most important education, however, did not begin until she
returned to MICA for a post-graduate
year to work with French painter
Jacque Maroger.
Before coming to America,
Maroger studied under Louis
Anquetin, who identified with
and exhibited with the French
Impressionists. In his later years,
however, Anquetin changed directions and became interested in the
works of the Flemish masters. When
Maroger, who for a time worked
as technical director of the Louvre
Laboratory in Paris, immigrated to
the United States in 1939, he brought
considerable technical expertise and
Anquetin’s passion for the classical
painting with him.
“Maroger was a great man,” said
Schuler. “He passed an abiding
respect for the old masters and their
techniques down to a whole generation of American painters, including
Reginald Marsh, John Koch, Fairfield
Porter and Frank Mason. And, of
course, he passed them on to me.”
Schuler said that after she left
MICA the first time, “I was painting impressionist landscapes. When
I returned, Maroger was there. Do
you know what he said to me? ‘But
my dear, you can’t draw!’ So, I had to
start over again.” Eventually, Schuler
became Maroger’s assistant, a position she held for 18 years. Her serious
body of work began to take shape
there and she became well known
for her portraits of Baltimore’s more
prominent citizens, as well as for her
still lifes and flowers.
Her devotion to the principles of
classical realism could have undermined Schuler’s career and those of
others among a group now known
as the Baltimore Realists. According
to Schuler, some of the immediate
pressure to conform to the views of
the modernists came from MICA
itself. “During the 1950s,” she said,
“the leadership at MICA went in
an aggressively different direction.
Classical sculptures were defaced.
They covered over the Tiffany ceiling.
Realists were not getting pay raises,
despite being asked to work more
hours. We had become unwelcome
guests in our own house.”
So, with encouragement from
Maroger, Ann and her husband
opened their own school in 1959. It
had and continues to have plenty of
intellectual capital for such a venture.
In addition to her training, Schuler
had direct access to an impressive
artistic legacy. Her father, James
Didusch, and her uncle, William,
were prominent medical illustrators
for the Johns Hopkins University
School of Medicine. Her fatherin-law, Hans Schuler, Sr., was a
renowned sculptor and, along with
Maroger, is given credit for being
a guiding spirit behind the Schuler
School. Her grandfather and greatgrandfather, both named Joseph,
were stone and wood carvers. Today,
the school’s faculty is graced with
generations of the family, including Francesca Schuler Guerin, the
school’s director, and great-grandsons,
Andy and Hans Guerin.
And realism? Fifty years later, it
thrives once again, and in no small
way, Ann Didusch Schuler and her
family contributed to that resurgence.
“Recent modern art movements were
more about being different than
anything else,” she said. “While
the art world derived some benefit
from them, perhaps we’ve run out
of ‘different’ and are reverting back
to themes and techniques that have
stood the test of time and can be
appreciated by everyone.” Not just
those who recognize a persuasive
theory when they see one.

E
Eilene Poole
Eilene Poole grew up on a farm and has lived and
worked on farms her entire life. She will celebrate her
70th birthday in December, but you’d never guess her
to be a day over 60. She is a petite woman, taut and
strong, with clear blue eyes that are both friendly and
a bit frisky. She lives on a pristinely kept horse farm
in Monkton and stays fit as farm manager for Bob
and Ann Kingsley. In addition, she’s the keeper of
Elkridge-Harford Hunt Club trails that wind through
the many contiguous farms in this area. A former
whipper-in for the Club, she continues to ride and care
for four horses every day. Her lovely cottage garden
surrounds her home, Vixens View, bursting with blue
bachelor buttons, gaillardia, evening primrose, alyssum, lilies and clematis. Her constant companions are
her two very large shepherd dogs, Blake (a big, black
boy) and Kate (somewhat shy on my visit).
How long have you been handy with tools?
Forever. I grew up on a farm and when you need to do
something, you have to figure out how to do it!
What is the biggest tool you use as farm
manager?
I guess it would be my pole chain saw. The first time
I saw one at a friend’s house, I thought it was a great

tool. It was light weight and battery
powered. When it came time to get
one, my boss thought I needed the
gas powered model. He was right! For
the work that I do, that battery one
is a joke! I’m on my second one now.
I love it!
Do you work alone?
Of course not; I always take my dogs
with me. Actually, if I ever need
something done on the farm, I call
my “BTH” list ...“better than husband” – they can fix anything, and I
don’t have to fix them dinner or wash
their dirty clothes.
What is involved in trail
maintenance?
We have miles of trails that need to
be cleared for riders during fox hunting. This is a project that goes on all
year. And, with the snow this past
winter, there was a lot of damage to
trees and branches. I get in my Gator
with the dogs running along beside
me. I take my lopping shears, the pole
chain saw and hedge trimmers for the
hedge jump.
How do you manage this alone?
If the branch is a little high, I climb
up on the Gator and use my loppers
or chain saw to get at branches. If
it’s heavy, I use a rope and chain
attached to the Gator and use it to
pull large branches and drag them
out. I manage.
be my big Weed Eater. I don’t know,
but there’s probably over a mile of
pasture and I do all the trimming of
fence lines. I love to strap on my harness and get to work. I pace myself.
At nearly 70 years, I do one tank at a
time.
Do you allow anyone to use
your tools?
That’s kinda tricky. I’m particular
about them. Sometimes someone will
want to use one, but you never know
what they’ve done to it and the next
time you go to use it, something’s different or it’s broken.
Are your tools organized?
Oh yeah, all organized and in their
spot. When I want something, I want
to know I can find it. Especially during hunt season. I have a routine, and
it can be thrown off if my tools are
out of place.
What is your favorite tool and
why?

summer fun
Set Sail on the Bay
Midweek racing at the Annapolis
Yacht Club began in 1959. In the last
50 years, the event has turned from
a nearly rules-free seafaring social
event into a well-organized series of
races that attract about 1,000 sailors
from all over the Chesapeake Bay.
Editor’s Note: This month, as part of our “Summer Fun” theme, we’ve included an
excerpt from the gorgeous coffee table book, Annapolis, Sailing Capital of Maryland
by Roger Miller (Image Publishing, 2009, $39.95). Miller, one of the region’s most
prominent photographers pays homage to Annapolis and explores areas and aspects that
even the frequent visitor to the Annapolis may be unaware of, and for this excerpt, we
focus on his “Sailing in Annapolis” chapter that showcases stunningly beautiful photos of
sailboats on the Chesapeake Bay.
I
It has been said that that Annapolis is a “drinking” town with a “sailing problem.” In the pages that follow, we will attempt to capture some of the joys of
this “sailing problem.” The real problem is that sailing is a seductive mental
and physical challenge that bonds you with the wind and water. And, you must
understand both wind and water if you want to win that race or if you just want
to avoid having your sailboat towed back to port because you couldn’t get the
sails right.
We will add some cautionary notes here. Sailing can be a big problem if
you decide to turn your small J-24 in for a larger more luxurious J-105 without
checking with your investment broker, or if you spend too much time racing
during the season and lose your job. Sailing is just one of those sports that gets
you hooked. But, if you hang around long enough you will usually find a place in
sailing that fits your budget and life style. In fact, you might find as many have,
that sailing is “therapy” for modernday stress.
Annapolis is uniquely located
where sailing conditions are almost
perfect. It is not too cold in the winter
and there is not too much “fry your
skin off ” weather in the summer.
Both the wind and tides are mild and
fairly consistent. The Chesapeake
Bay provides protection from rocky
or dangerous shorelines and offers
smoother sailing than the ocean. The
Chesapeake Bay, the Severn River,
Spa Creek, South River and the other
area rivers and creeks offer plenty of
places to sail and explore, wide-open
spaces to race, several places to drop
anchor, and a host of places to party
after a sail.
To really understand the “sailing
problem” you need to understand a bit
about sailing and sail racing. It may
look easy but it is amazing how complicated it is to move a boat with just
the wind. There is a completely new
language to learn – when you’re facing the front of the boat or the bow,
port is the left side and starboard is
to the right. There’s a mast and there
are sails – the main sail, the spinnaker, and the jib, but you can’t put
them all up at once. The spinnaker
goes up when you are “running” with
the wind and then goes down when
you sail into the wind and the jib goes
up. You might wonder how you sail
into the wind and get anywhere. You
“tack” – sail on an angle to the right,
which is astarboard tack, then sail to
the left on a port tack – adjusting the
sails as you go. You also need to know
the “rules of the road.” The sailboat
on a starboard tack has the right of
way and if you don’t know that, you
may have some angry sailors or cause
an accident.
Confused? Take heart, there are
plenty of people who will let you be
a “pit bitch” and take the sails down
and store them below deck. If you are
not up to that you can always be “rail
meat” and sit on the side of the boat
with your legs over the side to counter
balance the boat against the wind.
If you are diligent, show up on time,
and bring the right beer for after the
sail you will figure everything else
out in time and eventually understand
reef points.
Sail racing is challenging and is
controlled by a set of gunshots, horns
and flags that you better understand
or you will probably be disqualified
before the race begins. You do not
want to see a red protest flag before
the race begins. Controlling these
J-Boats are a big hit in the so-called racer/cruiser category: boats that perform well on the race course and are comfortable
and easy enough for the family to day sail and cruise.
45
Sailing with the wind behind you is
great. This forward motion reduces
the wind and spray across the deck
and you stay warmer.
Whether enjoying water sports or
just taking in all the natural beauty
the bay has to offer, it’s always a
great day on the Chesapeake Bay.
A strong start can propel you into an untouchable position or
at least give you a better shot at a top finish.
“conflagrations” and keeping track of all the tacks and jibs
is not an easy job, but once you’re hooked; you strive to do
better and better with each race.
Thanks to a group of dedicated sailors at the
Annapolis Yacht club and the Eastport Yacht Club, these
races are well organized. During the season, Wednesday
night races and weekend races are a part of Annapolis
thanks to these very proficient race committees.
Annapolis is also host to a whole series of national and
world competitions such as the J-24 World Competition
or the Melges 24 North American Competition.
Conflagration and sailing races of course do come to
an end. After announcing the winners, eventually everyone seeks solace in port. Annapolis is well suited for this.
Its safe harbor easily hosts hundreds of visiting boats, and
the picturesque bars and restaurants of Eastport and historic Annapolis can put any flames out with an unending
supply of food and drink.
When we say that Annapolis is a “drinking” town
with a “sailing problem,” maybe it is not a problem at all.
Maybe it is just about perfect. Come sail with us.

summer entertaining
Dishing Up
Maryland
T
This month, we are featuring recipes from a
new cookbook, “Dishing Up Maryland” (Lucie
L. Snodgrass, Storey Publishing, $19.95, storey.
com). The book features 150 delicious recipes,
some contributed by the Old Line State’s most
celebrated chefs, complete with beautiful photography by Edwin Remsberg. In addition to
recipes, the book also features food lore; advice
on the best places to visit; and fascinating profiles of local food producers, chefs, restaurants,
fishermen and crabbers.
Tomatoes Stuffed with Basil,
Breadcrumbs, Mushrooms, and
Parmesan
Use heirloom tomatoes like Brandywine to
add an even more distinctive taste to this summer classic. Pair them with a garden salad and
grilled steak or burgers for a complete meal.
4large tomatoes
1/4cup olive oil
1cup sliced local mushrooms
1small onion, peeled and minced
2garlic cloves, peeled and
minced
3tablespoons chopped fresh
basil
1/4cup white wine
1tablespoon chopped fresh
parsley
1teaspoon salt
1/2teaspoon freshly ground
black pepper
1/2cup breadcrumbs
1/4cup freshly grated
Parmesan cheese
Slice off the tops of the tomatoes,
keeping the stems intact, and reserve
them. Carefully scoop out the insides
of the tomatoes, chop the flesh, and
set it aside in a small bowl. Invert
the tomato shells on paper towels to
drain.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms, onion and
garlic, and saute for 3 to 5 minutes
over medium heat. Add the chopped
tomato flesh, basil, wine, parsley,
salt and pepper, and simmer for 3 to
5 minutes longer. Stir in the breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Remove from
the heat.
Stand the tomatoes up in a baking
dish and divide the stuffing evenly
among them. Cap them with the
reserved tomato tops. Bake for 30
minutes, until the tomatoes are tender. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Serves 4.
Rockfish Kabobs in Classic
Greek Marinade
This simple recipe, ideal for a
summer barbeque, demonstrates how
delicious rockfish tastes when it’s
properly marinated and grilled. You
can also broil the kebabs instead of
grilling them. Use the same care to
turn them so that they brown evenly
and aren’t overcooked.
Recipe from The Black Olive
restaurant
2thick rockfish fillets, cut into
1 1/2- to 2-inch cubes
1red, yellow, or orange bell
pepper, cut into 1 1/2- to
2-inch squares
2large red onions, peeled and
cut into quarters
2/3cup olive oil
1/3cup lemon juice
1teaspoon sea salt
1/2teaspoon dried oregano
1/4teaspoon freshly ground
black pepper
Soak four (10-inch) bamboo skewers
in water for 1 hour. Remove them
from the water, pat them dry, and
assemble the kabobs on the skewers,
alternating pieces of the fish, pepper
and onion. Place the kabobs into a
shallow glass baking dish.
Combine the olive oil, lemon juice,
salt, oregano and pepper in a blender
and blend at high speed until the
mixture emulsifies. Pour the mixture
over the kabobs and put them in the
refrigerator to marinate for at least 10
to 15 minutes; turn the kabobs over
and let them marinate for at least
another 10 to 15 minutes.
Heat a gas or charcoal grill to
high. Remove the kabobs from the
marinade and grill them for about 3
minutes on one side. Turn the kabobs
and grill for an additional 2 minutes,
until the rockfish is cooked through.
Serve immediately. Serves 2.
Blackberry-Nectarine Cobbler
with Cream-Cheese Crust
Crusty, fruity and warm to the
touch, cobblers are the quintessential
summer dessert and a perfect punctuation to a summer crab feast, a day
at the beach or a barbeque with family and friends. Try to find local white
nectarines, which are seductively perfumed and astonishingly sweet.
49
5cups peeled and sliced
white nectarines
3cups fresh blackberries
1 1/4cups sugar
3tablespoons quick cooking tapioca
1teaspoon vanilla extract
1teaspoon cinnamon
4ounces cold cream
cheese
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter
3/4cup all-purpose flour
1tablespoon vanilla sugar
(see note)
Milk
Whipped cream or Vanilla
Bean Ice Cream (optional)
Prepare the fruit filling:
Combine the nectarines, blackberries, sugar, tapioca, vanilla and
cinnamon in a large bowl, and
mix until well blended. Cover the
bowl and set aside for 45 minutes.
Prepare the crust dough: Mix
the cream cheese and butter in
a bowl with an electric mixer.
Add the flour and vanilla sugar
and mix until well blended, but
not too long or the dough will
be tough. Form the dough into a
ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and
chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350
degrees. Pour the fruit into
an 8-inch square baking dish.
Rollout the dough and lay it on
top of the fruit, crimping the
edges. Brush the crust with milk
and cut several slits in the top.
Place on a baking sheet and bake
for 1 hour, until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven
and cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with whipped cream
or ice cream, if desired. Serves 8.
NOTE: Vanilla sugar can be
bought in some supermarkets and
specialty stores. If you can’t find
it, combine 2 vanilla beans and 1
cup of sugar in a food processor or
blender and pulse until the mixture
is very fine and the beans have been
pulverized. Store in a jar or canister
and use as needed.

The
Fabulous Finger Lakes
W
We’re in the heart of summer, time for beach
season, cookouts and at times, bored teenagers claiming that there is “nothing to do.” So,
maybe it’s time to plan that next weekend
getaway – one that involves a moderately
short drive and can serve as a welcome respite
from the hot and humid weather we experience here in August and sometimes into
September or a fall getaway to see the colors.
Usually in the latter part of the summer,
when the AC units are running non-stop and
sailing on the Bay is a drag with no wind to
push you along, we head up north to New
York’s Finger Lake region, a quick five-hour
drive up I-83 to I-81 to visit my partner’s
parents who live in Skaneateles, N.Y. (it took
me several years to learn how to pronounce,
let alone spell, their hometown). We’ve also
visited for Thanksgiving, and no matter when
we go, I am always awestruck by the natural
beauty of the area.
The Finger Lakes area cover 9,000 square
miles from Lake Ontario to the Pennsylvania
border and consists of 11 skinny-looking
glacial lakes that dot central New York. The
region also includes the Erie Canal, Lake
Ontario, over 1,000 waterfalls and ample
rivers. Charming villages hug the shoreline,
while big cities like Rochester and Syracuse
offer exciting urban flair.
The picturesque lakeside town of
Skaneateles is a great place to use as your
base when exploring the region. There
are several B&Bs and inns in the village,
while larger hotels can be found just outside of town. Be forewarned, though, that
it’s important to book accommodations in
advance of your trip, especially in the summer months, when weddings and reunions
can monopolize many of the rooms in town.
The Mirbeau Inn & Spa and The Sherwood
Inn are two of the most popular choices with
the Sherwood conveniently located right on
Genesee Street, Skaneateles’ “Main Street”
Sonnenberg Gardens
in Canandaigua (left);

mansion, Penn Yar and

where the lion’s share of shops and
restaurants can be found, and with a
nice view of Skaneateles Lake. Stroll
along Genesee Street and admire the
beautiful lakefront homes and check
out some of the cute shops along the
way, including a handful of antique
stores, Aristocats and Dogs for pet
gifts, Rhubarb Kitchen and Garden
Shop and Roland’s, a favorite shop of
mine as the old-time charm and great
deals on men’s clothing makes this a
must stop for me each visit. Not far
off Genesee Street is Creekside Books
and Coffee, a relatively new addition
to the village. Although you must
drive, you must also visit New Hope
Mills, where you can buy worldfamous pancake mix, spices, cookies,
bread and much more – all at incredible prices.
For dining, most restaurants are an
easy walk from The Sherwood Inn.
The Krebs is a Skaneateles tradition
for over 100 years with casual fare
served upstairs and upscale dining
downstairs. For seafood, Doug’s Fish
Fry is nationally known and is packed
in the summer, or try Bluewater
Grill with its beautiful lake views or
Johnny Angel’s Heavenly Burgers for
an unforgettable burger. My personal
dining favorite is Joe’s Pasta Garage,
which has excellent Italian fare in a
unique setting (a former gas station).
The portions are enormous, so you
might want to consider splitting an
entrée with a salad. Whether you are
staying at The Sherwood or not, the
inn’s restaurant is also a favorite of
mine with its extensive menu featuring regional cuisine. Casual dining
can be had at The Tavern, while fine
dining can be enjoyed in the dining
room or the Lakeview Porch. Either
way, definitely try the French onion
soup and the filet mignon!
For outdoor entertainment, consider checking out a polo match,
held at the Skaneateles Polo Club
Sundays at 3pm in July and August.
Of course, you also want to get out
on the lake. The family-owned and
operated Mid-Lakes Navigation
Company (midlakesnav.com) offers
several different cruising tours of the
lake through early October and allows
you to view the beautiful mansions
that dot the shoreline and admire
the crystal clear water. The company
offers a Champagne Dinner Cruise, a
shorter “Take Out” Cruise where you
can bring your own dinner, “Dinosaur
Dinner Cruise” featuring Syracuse’s
award-winning Dinosaur Bar-BQue, brunch cruises and the “U.S.
Mailboat” cruise, where you get to
take part in the age-old tradition of
mail delivery via boat. If you are feeling a bit more adventurous, you can
also rent a sailboat, powerboat, canoe
or kayak through The Sailboat Shop
(thesailboatshop.com).
Speaking of boats, one of
Skaneateles’ biggest annual events is
the Antique and Classic Boat Show,
July 23-25, with classic mahogany and
wooden boats on display, as well as
concerts, kids’ activities and a village
tour. If you are traveling here during the holidays, don’t miss “Dickens
Christmas,” which begins the day
after Thanksgiving with weekend
activities and costumed characters
strolling through town.
There are also countless daytrips
from Skaneateles to consider. History
buffs are in luck, as the region is rich
in history, including Native American
history as evidence by many of the
names of the towns and lakes here.
In nearby Auburn, there are several African-American history sites,
including the Harriet Tubman Home,
where the famed abolitionist lived
after purchasing the home from her
55
friend William H. Seward, an illegal
transaction at the time. Speaking
of Seward, the former governor
and senator of New York, as well as
Secretary of State under Lincoln and
Andrew Johnson, his gorgeous home
and gardens in Auburn is also open to
the public where you can learn more
about the man who also coordinated
the purchase of Alaska and used his
home to hide runaway slaves. At
nearby Fort Hill Cemetery, one can
see the graves of both Tubman and
Seward.
The Finger Lakes region is also
steeped in women’s history. In Seneca
Falls, the “Birthplace of Women’s
Rights,” tour the National Women’s
Hall of Fame and the Women’s
Rights National Historical Park. It
was in Seneca Falls in 1848 that 300
men and women gathered, including
Elizabeth Cady Stanton (a Seneca
Falls resident), to hold the first
Women’s Rights Convention. The
Susan B. Anthony House is also
located nearby in Rochester.
Architectural history fans will
delight in visiting the Sonnenberg
Gardens & Mansion State Historic
Park in Canandaigua. The 1887
Queen Anne-style mansion boasts 40
Apple Harvest Festival in Ithaca (top);
Mom and chick Virginia Rail at the
Montezuma Audubon Center.
rooms and stunning gardens.
There are myriad cultural opportunities as well in the Finger Lakes
region, which is home to more than
80 art galleries, the Merry-GoRound Playhouse in Auburn and The
Corning Museum of Glass, the world’s
largest glass museum, featuring 35 centuries of glass artistry, live glassblowing
demonstrations, Make Your Own Glass
experiences for all ages and an international GlassMarket. It is also boasts the
Rakow Research Library, which is the
library of record on glass and glassmaking, and The Studio, a highly respected
glassmaking school. For more traditional arts, visit the MacKenzie-Childs production studio, set on a 65-acre former
dairy farm overlooking Cayuga Lake.
The famed home furnishings company
is known best for its trademark checkered board pattern.
Of course, in a region so stunningly beautiful and unspoiled, a trip
to the Finger Lakes necessitates participating in some outdoor fun, which
is easy to do with 26 state parks, more
than 2,000 miles of hiking/biking
trails and 160 golf courses. Taking to
the back roads and admiring the pastoral landscape is also soothing, and
the region’s 50-plus farmers’ markets
are also fun to check out.
No matter what part of the Finger
Lakes you’re exploring, there has
to be a park to hike, bike, walk or
even kayak. My favorite is Watkins
Glen State Park, located not far from
Ithaca, N.Y. There are trail options,
but most popular is the 1.5-mile
Gorge Trail where you can marvel at
the 200-foot cliffs and 19 glistening
waterfalls along the way (it can get a
bit chilly and wet along the trail, so
dress appropriately). You can walk up
the trail from the main entrance and
back, or for a more leisurely walk,
you can take the shuttle ($3) back
down to the main entrance or park at
the upper entrance, hike down and
shuttle back to the top.
If you head to Watkins Glen,
try to squeeze in a stop in Ithaca,
a charming town that is home to
Cornell University. The campus is
quite beautiful, and the school also
houses the Sapsucker Woods Bird
Sanctuary. Grab lunch downtown and
sit outside if the weather is nice.
Speaking of birds, the Montezuma
Audubon Center, part of the new
Montezuma Wetlands Complex
along with the Montezuma National
Wildlife Refuge in Savannah, is a
natural itinerary item for birdwatchers.
The Center’s trails wind through 450
acres of managed marshes, grasslands,
upland and wet woods, pond and
creek habitats. There is an observation
platform that overlooks a marsh where
you can spot red-tailed hawks, osprey,
red-winged blackbirds and swallows,
among others. Migrating shore birds
also visit Montezuma in early July and
late August.
If you are more into wine than
warblers, you’re in luck, too, as there
are over 100 wineries in the Finger
Lakes region (New York ranks third
in wine production in the country
behind California and Washington),
featuring a variety of varientals,
including excellent Rieslings. There
are four wine trails, countless events
and festivals, and most wineries offer
tours and tastings. You can also visit
the New York Wine & Culinary
Center in Canandaigua, also home
to the before-mentioned Sonnenberg
Gardens & Mansion, for lectures
and hands-on classes. Several tour
companies offer chauffeured tours
in limousines or party buses and you
can partake in a customized tour or
choose from a pre-packaged itinerary.

Flying Old Glory
I
It’s the Fourth of July and that means
that all over the country, people are
celebrating. However you celebrate
– whether it is a pool party, a parade
down Main Street or by making one
of those red, white and blue sheet
cakes that they always feature in
the July issue of ladies’ magazines –
chances are you will be also be waving
a flag.
American flags are one of the
great equalizers of American society.
It doesn’t matter if you are an Iowa
farmer in a red state, or a California
rock star in a blue state. On this one
day, we are all Americans waving
flags and eating sheet cakes. Besides
being patriotic, American flags have
been the objects of desire for collectors
of country Americana for many years.
They are so visually beautiful that
they are an obvious choice to hang
on a wall. Their simple graphic lines
remind me of Amish quilts.
Vintage flags can be found everywhere. You would be surprised where
they can show up … church rummage sales, library closings and government auctions. Sometimes flags
are no longer fit to fly, but people
don’t know how to properly dispose
of them. They end up in attics and
garages and are moved from house to
house. That’s a good thing for flag
collectors. Great granddad’s Civil
War flag might show up at a yard
sale 150 years after it was flown, simply because his relatives didn’t know
what to do with it.
Left: A rare Civil War flag used
from 1861 to 1863. Below:
This unusual wool flag is from
1890 and is almost square in
shape. The most common flags are
48-star flags that were made between
1912 and 1959. These are quite inexpensive, often selling for $5 to $10
each. We always have a cluster of
these in our store, and it makes me
smile when a toddler, barely able to
walk, reaches out for the bright colors
and stars – a patriot in the making.
Small flags, called hand-wavers,
have been part of American parade
life since the 1840s. Early examples
from the 19th century might cost $200
at a big antiques show, but the later
– and less expensive – 20th century
examples, are just as much fun to
display.
Thirteen-star flags, showing a
star for each of the original colonies,
have been made throughout our
nation’s history. They are still made
today for decorative purposes. Keep
this in mind when you spot one at a
yard sale. Just because it has 13 stars,
don’t assume it is necessarily from the
Colonial period.
We all know about the classic
stars and stripes design. We saluted to
this flag in school, and it has always
been in the background of our lives.
But every once in awhile, I will come
across a flag that looks a little bit different.
You see, in 1912, President Taft
issued an executive order setting
out guidelines for the layout of the
flag. Before that, flag makers were
free to create their own version of
the American flag, using concentric
circles or stars, or one large star made
out of many smaller stars.
When these pre-1912 one-of-akind flags come up at national auctions, they sell for prices that would
make Betsy Ross swoon. Recently an
article in the Maine Antiques Digest
showcased a turn-of-the-century
flag that sold to a collector for over
$100,000!
Here are some key dates in flag
history. Maybe this info will help you
date a flag that you have at home.
1777: This was the year of the First
Flag Act. The flag was to have 13
white stars in a blue field and 13
stripes in any combination of red,
white and blue. The stars and stripes
could be arranged in any fashion and
the stars could have any number of
points.
1794: The flag was to have 15 stars
and stripes, recognizing the admission of Vermont and Kentucky to the
union.
1818: Although several new states
were admitted between 1794 and
Top Left: During World War II, women
wore rhinestone pins shaped like flags
as a way to show their support for the
troops. This pin was made by Weiss.
Top Right: Postcards celebrating the
Fourth of July are more rare than cards
that celebrate other holidays; average
price, $8-$20 each. Bottom: This postcard features 48-star flags that were
made from 1912 to 1959.
1818, no new stars or stripes were
added. In 1818, an act fixed the number
of stripes at 13, one for each of the original states. One star was to be added
for each additional state, on the Fourth
of July following the date of admission.
Still, there were no regulations on the
configuration of the stars and stripes
and nothing that regulated the dimensions or proportions of the flag.
1912: The proportions of the flag were
established – one unit of width by 1.9
units of length. There was to be a set
arrangement of stars in six horizontal
rows of eight. For the stars, one point of
each star should point upward.
1959: After the admission of Alaska,
the arrangement of stars was set at
seven rows of seven.
1960: This is the flag that we still fly
today. The admission of Hawaii created
the current design of 50 stars.
For most antique textiles, ripped
edges and torn seams would negatively
affect value, but for old flags these signs
of wear only point out a flag’s history.
For military flags in particular, this
wear is a testament to a soldier’s courage
in battle or a souvenir of victory. Civil
War collectors would rather have a tattered flag that was carried in battle to
inspire the troops, than one in perfect
condition that had never seen service.
In recent times, no flag is more symbolic of victory than the flag that flew
over the wreckage of the Twin Towers
on 9/11.
Eighteenth-century f lags were
made from linen, wool or silk. For
more modern f lags, those made
from natural materials like cotton
or wool are preferable to those made
from synthetic materials. And in my
opinion, there’s just something unpatriotic about f lying an American f lag
with a “Made-in-China” tag affixed
to its hem.
Besides the age of the flag, collectors look for sewing technique and
workmanship. Until the middle of
the 19th century when Elias Howe
patented his invention for a sewing
machine, all flags were hand stitched.
A collector can distinguish an adult’s
expert stitching from a child’s amateur attempt, but both are desirable.
Attributing prices to old flags is difficult; there is no guidebook on prices.
Value is often based on emotion,
memories and history. The flag motif is so popular that
is shows up in almost all aspects of
collecting. You can be a flag collector
without collecting actual flags. Flags
were used extensively in advertising,
so you often see them on old boxes
and tins. For toy collectors, there are
Teddy bears waving flags, patriotic
board games and Betsy McCall paper
dolls with red, white and blue dresses.
Many old quilts, handkerchiefs,
hooked rugs and samplers displayed
the stars and stripes. There’s something for everyone.
During World War II, many of
the costume jewelry manufacturers
encouraged women to support their
troops by donning sparkly rhinestone
flag pins. I still have my grandmother’s flag pin that she purchased at
Hutzler’s when it was still downtown.
I wear it every Fourth of July.

What That?
is
What is it?
This wood slab is very thin, 10.5
inches wide x 40 inches long, plus a
handle with a hole in it. What is it?
And the answer is...
May
This ceramic equestrian item is
8 inches long and 10 inches high.
What is it?
ANSWER: EZRA BROOKS
BOURBON WHISKEY
BOTTLE .
VKF: While drinking bourbon whiskey is a year-round tonic in
Kentucky, I ran this item in May as a tribute to my Kentucky heritage.
Derby Day is always the first Saturday in May and a celebration of horses,
racing, fashion and bourbon! I did position the photo so that you couldn’t
see the band that identified it, or the label from the maker, now visible here.
As a result, the obvious clues went over everyone’s head. Except for one. We
received the exact answer to this month’s item…our reader obviously knows
her bottles and her whiskey!
Send your best guess by email to:

name, your town, where you pick us up
and your favorite things about MasonDixon ARRIVE. For more answers, visit

READER RESPONSE: This item is a ceramic equestrian bottle of
Ezra Brooks Bourbon Whiskey from the Ezra Brooks Distilling Co. of
Frankfort, KY. I must admit that I’m partial to bottle collections and actually do have that very same bottle on my bar. I love anything horsey
and the name caught my attention, especially since this may be my distant “Uncle Ezra”!!!! I too LOVE Derby week and have visited your beautiful state many times, especially around the Lexington and Louisville areas.
We loved the Horse Park in Lexington, where we saw Seabiscuit. I pick up my Mason Dixon Arrive at Patrick’s Restaurant in
Cockeysville. My favorite things are all the wonderful stories and information about our local areas. I always learn something new and fascinating
about our history. Thanks for doing such a great job! ~ CeCe Brooks, Baltimore S U P P O RT LO C A L B U S I N ESS ES
