The Livestock Auction is a real big deal for the 4-H and FFA exhibitors as they put their prize animals on the auction block in hopes of being rewarded for their hard work and dedication to their 4-H Learning Project of raising an animal. This is where all of you come in. To have a successful auction the 4-H and FFA exhibitors need you ‘all to come out and support them by bidding and buying their animal. For those that have not attended, here is how it works. The auction starts at 7pm in the Livestock Building at the back of the Talbot Agricultural & Education Center on Hiners Lane. So make plans to come early and check out the animals while the exhibitors wash and groom them. You can then sign up at the ring side table and get a number for bidding along with the 2014 Auction Program. Ask any questions you have and then be prepared to have some fun to benefit each 4-H Youth who chooses to participate in the Auction. There is stadium seating on a first come basis with standing room available. Once you are a successful bidder you will be rewarded by a BIG smile and a thank-you from a very grateful child who receives the proceeds from your bid. Your picture will be taken with the 4-H exhibitor and the animal. The picture will be delivered to you at a later date after the auction. All successful bidders have the opportunity to donate the animal back for resale if they choose not to keep it. Those that keep the animal the Livestock Auction Committee will arrange transportation of that animal for you free of charge so you do not have to handle it. There are several USDA processing facilities in the area, just express your desire to the Livestock Auction Committee before leaving. Animals donated back will be sold again in a second round with the proceeds going to “The Talbot County Youth Livestock Fund”. This Fund has been used in support of maintenance and construction Grass Cutting • Weed Wacking Edging & Tilling • Mulching Debris Removal • Tree Trimming Hedge Pruning • Odd Jobs 410-482-7420 410-200-1455 FREE ESTIMATES REASONABLE RATES projects at the Talbot Agricultural and Education Fair Grounds. Most recently new lighting has been installed in Livestock Barn where the auction is held and additional lighting in the Show Barn. Everyone is invited to the Auction— businesses, organizations, families, friends and individuals. You will be delighted by the positive impact that you will have on these youth from your participation. On behalf of Talbot County 4-H and FFA Youth, The Livestock Auction Committee says thank-you to all the bidders and volunteers that come together each year to make the Livestock Auction a fun, enjoyable and rewarding experience for Talbot County Youth.

As a child I always had my nose in a book. I think if you work at a library you have to love to read,” says Sabine Simonson, the Outreach Services/Volunteer Coordinator for the Talbot County Free Library. In this role she coordinates ninety-three volunteers who are “near and dear to my heart. They are all fabulous people who give us a lot of their valuable time.” She also is a Talbot County Chamber of Commerce Ambassador and hosts “On the Shelf”, an MCTV program that features the library as well as other topics of community interest. As part of the outreach initiatives, Sabine makes sure she is very visible in the community “because we believe the library is an important part of our town – of any community really. Any library should be an integral part of the community because everyone can come to the library and is welcome. That’s why I try to be out many different places and say, “Come! Here we are!” A “people person”, Sabine says, “ I love helping our patrons; after a while you get to know the regulars, you meet a lot of people throughout the day and you get to help them a great deal – finding the right THE GOOD SHED NEW GENTLY USED CONSIGNMENTS HIS, HERS & HOME AND ITEMS FOR EVERYONE Clothing, Home Decor, Furniture, Sports Gear, Jewelry, Vintage CONSIGNMENT IS EASY! NO appointment needed Just STOP DROP & ROLL! 405 Belle Rd, Unit 1 - Ridgely (Next to the Humane Society) Open Tuesday - Friday 11-5 & Saturday 10-3 410-634-2052 Stop in & Shop or bring items to Consign book, finding information, sometimes just chatting with someone.” A fun and interesting way that Sabine promotes the library is via its Facebook page. When she attends book festivals, she asks authors (such as John Grisham, Steve Berry and Michael Connolly) to have their picture taken with her and a Talbot County library card. She laughs and says, “No one has ever turned me down yet.” One of Sabine’s responsibilities is adult programming. These programs cover subjects as diverse as poetry, mental health, books and, last month, maps of the Ukraine showing its historical changes. Some programs are taped and run as segments for her show, “On the Shelf”. Topics are chosen for their broad appeal such as Maryland or Chesapeake Bay history and their ability to be shown on MCTV for a year or even longer and stay timely. Talking with people and putting them at ease comes naturally to Sabine, and this ability shows in her interviews. “I loved interviewing Sue Monk Kidd, author of The Secret Life of Bees, and her daughter, Ann Kidd Taylor. Despite being really famous [published in over 30 countries and a successful Hollywood movie], she was totally natural and so easy to talk to. The interview looks just the way I was hoping it wouldthe three of us chatting with each other. Jack Gantos, last year’s Newberry Medal Award winner was great fun to interview – he has a fantastic sense of humor – and again, no huge ego. Now I am looking forward to interviewing Simon Toyne via Skype since he lives in England – my first international author. We have been talking on Facebook quite a bit. He too seems to have a great sense of humor and is easy to talk to.” Though Sabine writes a script for each monthly taping, she, friend and co-host Kathy Hanna from the Talbot County Chamber of Commerce, and guests can be more spontaneous. “It just makes it [the show] fun,” says Sabine. “We have a good time and do a one-take show.” As they talk about upcoming programs and recommend books and movies, they are also showing that there is much more to the library and the many services it offers. Sabine serves as an ambassador, a liaison between the Chamber of Commerce and businesses. “We ambassadors go to rib(continued on page 19) 18 Family IT LLC Home and Business Computer/Network Repair Lance Harvey - Owner 410-739-7480 [email protected] www.FamilyIT.net (continued from page 18) “On the Shelf” and In the Community bon cuttings to show our support for new businesses; we have networking opportunities and welcome new businesses with a letter and a visit. Since the library is such an important part of the town we thought being part of the Chamber was important. Easton has a large business community and the library has all kinds of resources available for them”. A good time to meet Sabine and rest of the library staff is to come to Kaleidoscope Day on Saturday, June 14 from 10am to 1pm. There will be free hotdogs, sno-cones, popcorn and music, along with crafts for both adults and children, presentations by local organizations and much more. After seven years as the Outreach Services/Volunteer Coordinator, she still is passionate about her job and her goals. “Shoot for the moon; if you miss you’ll land among the stars”, a favorite quote of hers, accurately sums up Sabine Simonson. 00 $239,9bout Ask A ayment wn P No Do 3 Bedrooms - 2.5 Bath offering Open Floor Plan.

Rhonda Knotts, MCC, grief counselor for Hospice of Queen Anne’s and director of Camp New Dawn, says, “Camp New Dawn takes the essential ingredients of summer camp - fun, food and friendship and adds activities that help children and teens express what it feels like to lose someone they love. ” Knotts adds, “Children and teens are often the forgotten mourners because they grieve differently than adults. Camp New Dawn can help these young people develop healthy coping skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.” The 2014 dates for Camp New Dawn are Saturday, August 9 through Monday, August 11.

This year, Camp New Dawn will continue for a third night on Monday, August 11, when family members join the campers for an overnight family retreat. The success of Camp New Dawn depends on a corps of adults who volunteer as buddies for the campers. “Each camper is paired up with an adult,” Knotts says. “Some of our camp volunteers sign up because Hospice of Queen Anne’s or another local hospice organization was there when they and their families said goodbye to a loved one.” Courtney Williams, manager of volunteer and professional services for Hospice of Queen Anne’s, says, “Many buddies come back year after year because they get as much as they give from participating in the camp activities.” Williams adds, “We rely on other adults to help with set up, clean up and the many other jobs it takes to coordinate this event.” Adults who apply to volunteer at Camp New Dawn must be 21years of age or older and complete a training program before camp begins. The cost for each camper is $30. “No child is turned away because of inability to pay,” says Knotts. “We depend on donors and sponsors to help us fund the cost of Camp New Dawn so that everyone who will benefit from the experience can attend.” Camp New Dawn is one of the many grief support programs offered by Hospice of Queen Anne’s.

Jessie Thomas, Supported Employment Manager for Benedictine, reached out to DORS counselor Candace Henry to initiate planning for the program. “We are grateful for the leadership from DORS and local business managers,” Thomas said. “This service, unique to the Eastern Shore, would not be possible without the help and collaboration of our partners.” Several local businesses in the hospitality industry had input on curriculum development or are serving as host sites, including: Denny’s of Easton, Best Western in Grasonville, the Cambridge Hyatt, the Tidewater Inn, and Provident State Bank of Preston. E.C. Townsend, DORS Regional Director, recognizes the value of having a training site in Easton. “We are hopeful that Benedictine will continue to expand DORS approved trainings for Eastern Shore residents to ensure opportunities for those local individuals unable to attend the DORS operated Workforce and Technology Center in Baltimore.” Benedictine invites area businesses to consider a training partnership increasing the regional pool of qualified, motivated potential employees. Providing opportunity to live meaningful, productive lives in communities of choice, Benedictine helps children and adults with developmental disabilities reach their greatest potential without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, or age.

In addition, “The MetLife Study of Elder Financial Abuse” reports that the annual financial loss by victims of elder abuse is estimated to be at least $2.9 billion, a 12% increase since 2008. On Friday, June 13, 2014, from 10am to 2pm, Talbot County’s Senior Financial Exploitation Task Force is hosting its second annual Financial Exploitation Workshop at the Talbot Senior Center at Brookletts Place in Easton, MD. The workshop, which coincides with National Elder Abuse Awareness Day that week, will educate the community about the risks and vulnerabilities that our seniors face, particularly in regard to financial, Medicare and insurance fraud and marketing scams. The issue of financial exploitation by mail, computer and phone is increasingly affecting seniors every day. Awareness is key to preventing this abuse. Seniors, children of seniors, caregivers and concerned citizens who want to learn more about risks and vulnerabilities seniors face today are encouraged to attend.

And unfortunately, this disease can (and frequently does) follow them for life: only about 10 percent of substance dependence cases occur after adolescence. Thus, successful efforts to prevent, delay or minimize substance use during adolescence are sorely needed. They are the 410-443-9044 (C) H.

And yet, as a country, we pay little attention to prevention, early intervention, effective treatment or continuing care for this age group. We pay little attention to these issues for our kids. Getting parents involved with their child's lives is the main goal and preventative measure against drug use. And the problem does not go away with high school graduation. Although alcohol is the primary drug of choice among college students, particularly those of traditional college age (i.e., 18 to 25 years), over half of all college students and young adults have tried an illicit drug at least once in their lifetime. Experimentation with substance use increases during this period, particularly for those enrolled full time in college. In addition, although non-college bound 12th graders use marijuana more than their college-bound peers, marijuana use for college students between 18 and 22 increases faster than for non-college students the same age. Early prevention of drug abuse and excessive alcohol use increases people’s chances of living long, healthy, and productive lives. Excessive alcohol use includes binge drinking (i.e., five or more drinks during a single occasion for men, four or more drinks during a single occasion for women), underage drinking, drinking while pregnant, and alcohol impaired driving. Talbot Partnership for Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Preventions is encouraging parents to be on the lookout for signs of substance abuse. If your child is using drugs, he/she needs your help. Don't be afraid to be a strong parent! If the problem becomes too much for you to handle alone, don't hesitate to seek professional help, such as counseling, a support group or a treatment program. For further information on the dangers of alcohol and other drugs, contact Talbot Partnership at 410-819-8067. Please also visit our website at www.talbotpartnership.org or find us on Facebook.

The kickoff party is designed to provide information about Relay and to entice people to join in. Attendees were greeted by Relay for Life décor and symbols of hope throughout the entryway and the room. Chairwoman for this year’s event, Robin Marshall, provided details of this year’s relay and shared her enthusiasm regarding significant changes about the event.

She believes that changing the day of the week and the time of day will encourage more participation from families and community members. The new location at the high school provides a safe, level, and amply lit environment for participants, along with ease of access and parking. She announced the theme for this year, “Relighting Relay’s Spirit, Keep it Burning”, reminding participants that their support is important for our community and we want to continue this event for many years to come. Committee members are encouraging teams to select an Olympic sport and country for their costumes, spirit stick and table display. Following Marshall’s introduction, the entire audience participated in a 15 minute physical activity led by Erin Fluharty from Jazzercise of Easton which provided audience members with a sample of the entertainment and activities that are offered during the Relay. Dr. Roberta Lilly, Medical Director of the UM Shore Regional Health Comprehensive Breast Center addressed the audience and shared her personal experience with cancer. She detailed her role as caregiver for her husband who passed away from prostate cancer. She encouraged participants to continue to educate about screening for all cancers. “Knowledge over disease makes you feel like you have power over disease. We think if we know about it, it can’t happen,” says Lilly. “Someone once asked me if it ever got to me, telling people they had breast cancer. I realized it’s one of the better parts of my day to tell people they have this diagnosis, but it’s very treatable. I get to bring them hope.” Paula Larrimore, who has been participating in the Relay for 18 years, spoke about why she chooses to Relay. Larrimore’s father Victor was a 25 year survivor before passing away from a second cancer in 2001. She said that she was able to have her father around growing up because of Cancer Research and it is very meaningful to see more people wearing purple survivor shirts at the Relay. She is the accounting committee chair, manager of the event website and co-captain of the Shore Regional Cancer Caregivers team. Her hopes are that with the research funded by Relay, that one day cancer would be eradicated. (continued on page 33) (continued from page 32) A pot-luck luncheon provided refreshment to attendees prior to a closing ceremony led by Chairwoman Robin Marshall. Marshall introduced each team and they proudly paraded around luminaria bags that were placed to represent the track at the Relay event. Teams donned attire that corresponded with their chosen Olympic Sport and Country, all while lifting the excitement and anticipation for this year’s event. Afterward, group and individual team photos were taken to document the kickoff. While attendees said they look forward to the social aspect of Relay, they participate for a greater cause – to raise awareness of and funds needed for cancer research. But just as important, they walk to show their support to those affected by cancer. “It really does make a difference,” said Robin Marshall, Chairwoman the event and captain of the Hearts of Gold team. “You see the results - you’re supporting people in our community that have cancer. Relay shows them they’re not alone.” “Relay helps families get through the hard times,” she said. Robin has been participating in Relay for Life for 7 years.

I would like to see more people get involved for such a great cause.” American Cancer Society spokeswoman Julia Foxwell said the Relay for Life is a fun event where people can give something back to friends and loved ones. “It’s a safe place to come and remember people who lost their battle to cancer or come and celebrate people still with us today,” Foxwell said. Foxwell’s personal experience with can- cer started when she was 8 and her mom received her first breast cancer diagnosis. The disease continued to follow her around “like the villain in a cartoon” affecting classmates, friend, colleagues and even friend’s children. “I am grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the treatment of the disease and those who are living with it” said Foxwell. The goal is to raise $37,000 to help cancer patients in the Talbot County area.

Keynote speaker Sydney Harrison, a former foster and adopted youth, talked about the loving guidance he received from his adoptive parents, who taught him about the power of love and compassion and helped him re-establish a relationship with his birth mother. In addressing 125 foster and adoptive parents in the room, Harrison said, “Each and every child has a beautiful light and something to offer this world. It is up to each and every one of you to bring this out in them.” Conference workshops included social media safety, confronting conflict, mental health issues, and human trafficking of children and teens. A workshop titled “Ready by 21: The Future of Our Teens,” equipped resource parents with strategies to better prepare foster teens for independent living and adulthood. Ready by 21 is a statewide initiative of the Maryland Department of Human Resources (DHR) to connect foster youth age 14 to 21 with services and resources to ensure when they leave foster care they have stable housing, a job or are in school, health care, positive credit, and a mentor. To accomplish these goals, DHR and the mid-shore counties have started several new initiatives: Thrive@25: DHR, in partnership with Bonnie Scott Ace Certified Senior Fitness Specialist Currently accepting new clients!

The initiative launched in January 2014. Open Table: This initiative connects volunteer mentors from local churches with transitioning foster care youth to help them develop positive relationships and build a sense of community. Six tables have been formed in less than a year. There is a continued need in the Midshore area for additional foster families. For convenience, training is provided throughout the region.

Cristy Morrell, Francesca Wiseman, Karen Broujos, Kimberly Baker, and Liz Connelly started the local chapter last June with the hopes of making sure all of Talbot County’s preschool children had the opportunity to own new, engaging books regardless of their family’s income. The challenge was two-fold, raising enough money for books and getting preschool age children enrolled in the program. Key partnerships with the local libraries, the Judy Center, the Chesapeake Multicultural Center, schools, churches and many other organizations as well as providing registration tables at a number of area events, has enabled ILTC to register 800 children in the first year.

"I'm following in your footsteps and I don't want to fall. Sometimes your steps are very fast, sometimes they're hard to see; So walk a little slower Daddy, for you are leading me. Someday when I'm all grown up, you're what I want to be. Then I will have a little child who'll want to follow me. And I would want to lead just right, and know that I was true; So, walk a little slower, Daddy, for I must follow you!!" By: Bobbie Norman 49 Local Writer and Renowned Structural Engineer Write New Book Renowned structural engineer, educator, and mentor Charles H. Thornton, PhD PE of Easton and local writer Amy Blades Steward of Easton recently co-authored a new book that was released this month entitled, Charles H. Thornton: A Life of Elegant Solutions. Dr. Thornton was a founding principal and former chairman of the structural engineering company Thornton Tomasetti. Over the last 30 years, he has engineered some the world’s tallest and most innovative structures through “disruptive innovation.” He has been an adjunct professor at The Cooper Union, Pratt Institute, Manhattan College, Princeton University, and Catholic University. He founded the ACE Mentor Program, a nationwide non-profit organization offering guidance and training in architecture, construction and engineering to more than 40,000 inner city high school students in 106 cities across the United States. Talbot County high school students participate in the program. He comments, “After being featured by Jane Pauley on the monthly NBC TODAY Show, “Your Life Calling” for the ACE Mentor Program and reading Jane’s own autobiography, entitled Skywriting: a Life Out of the Blue, I realized it was time to write my memoir.” The next step was to find a writer to help Thornton get his words on paper. Steward, who in 2007 founded Steward Writing and Communications, a public relations firm in Easton, MD, has written non-fiction articles for national, regional, and local publications for over 30 years. Thornton comments about Steward, a lifelong storyteller, “Amy was the stimulus who got me revved up to start my book. She took the time to really interest herself in my life and has made the production of this book her ‘Elegant Solution’.” The memoir about Thornton’s life is a guide for professionals seeking to succeed in business, young engineers moving up the company ladder, graduate students facing a 635 (continued on pg 51) 50 (continued from page 50) master’s or PhD thesis, college students coping with the rigors of an engineering program, and high school students looking toward college and a career.

Darke and Tallamy will present The Living Landscape: Designing for Beauty and Biodiversity in the Home Garden. Tied to their new book of the same title, this in-depth conversation will share their insights on beauty and biodiversity, plants and pollinators, and new design strategies for personal gardens both large and small. The home garden is often seen as separate from the natural world surrounding it. In truth, it is just one part of a larger landscape made up of many living layers. The replacement of rich layers of native flora with turf grass greatly diminishes a garden’s biological diversity and ecological functions. In The Living Landscape, Darke and Tallamy seek to reverse this trend by showing gardeners how to create a landscape that is full of life. The three-part program includes Happy Father’s Day!

Last week we celebrated with that village. Leila is the second dog my daughter, Winnie, raised for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. Her first dog, Henna, was a happygo-lucky free-spirited bundle of energy that literally bounded into a room. Leila could not be more opposite. Leila was always a quiet and composed old soul, even as a puppy. Even her kisses were gentle and carefully measured. We always joked that she took her job as a service dog in training very seriously, always the consummate professional. She did very well in guide dog training (no surprise!), but a series of minor though persistent health issues caused the vets to decide she wouldn’t be a good match with a blind person, who couldn’t make a good visual assessment of her. Thus she moved into the Heeling Autism pro- gram at Guiding Eyes for the Blind, where she thrived. Leila spent over a year learning to be a companion to an autistic child. She learned how to be tethered to a child, she went to various schools to learn how to settle in a classroom full of activity, and she went on many outings to Target and other places learning how to shop with a cart in a crowded store. Her many, many training activities were all designed to make her the 54 perfect and steadfast friend for a child who needed her. The idea behind service dogs for kids with autism is to help keep them safe and help them better relate to the world. In a practical sense, the dog is tethered to the child while out and about and learns to act as an anchor if the child tries to run away (autistic kids often lack an understanding of danger). In an emotional sense, the dog (continued on page 55) (continued from page 54) forms a strong, loving bond with the child and offers them comfort, security, and a way of engaging with the world around them. The highlight of her training for us (besides hearing she was graduating, of course) was finding out that she was moved from the kennels to live with a foster family. Living with the foster family gave Leila the chance to get back into the daily rhythm and routine with kids, and she was lucky enough to live with a family with two wonderful children. We called Olivia, the girl she played with, watched TV with, hiked with, even slept with, “Leila’s practice girl.” Our hearts filled with joy every single time we got a picture of Leila and Olivia, clearly they were an excellent training team. And finally, word came that Leila was matched with a nine year old girl with autism. Leila would be going to her forever family with an important job to do. But first, there was a graduation ceremony to attend. To say a Heeling Autism graduation is emotional is an understatement. There were about 50 people at the graduation, ranging from the recipient families, the puppy raisers (like Winnie), the foster families (like Olivia’s), and the staff and trainers involved in preparing these amazing dogs for service. No one warns you about what ensues (and that’s probably for the better). The tables are arranged in a large square around the room, so everyone has a view of everyone else and the dogs (who settle perfectly under the tables, of course). Then they bring out the microphone and that’s the beginning of the end (at least if you’re wearing eye makeup). While passing the microphone around, each person has a chance to talk about why they’re there, how they got involved and what role they played in the lives of these graduating pups. One of the guide dog trainers said it best. “Rather than an invitation, they should just send every person a box of tissues with the day and time to show up. That would probably get the point across,” she said. Whew, it was intense. But intense in such a good way. It’s intense to hear the stories from parents of these autistic children who have struggled for so long. It’s intense to hear from all the raisers and trainers who put their hearts into teaching these dogs to be angels on earth. It’s intense to hear about how these kids react to meet- ing their dogs for the first time. And it’s most intense having the chance to reflect on how incredibly lucky I am to be in the role of puppy raiser rather than recipient. Meeting Leila’s new family was just incredible. They are the sweetest, most sincere and appreciative family you can imagine and within a few minutes of us meeting they asked if we were on Facebook so we could keep up with Leila’s adventures with their daughter. This means the world to us. It lets us not say goodbye to the puppy Winnie raised, trained and socialized, but instead watch this new chapter in Leila’s life unfold and cheer her on with her new family. Guiding Eyes for the Blind’s Delmarva Region is actively looking to recruit new puppy raisers on the Eastern Shore.

One of those days when you'd like to stay in bed and watch old movies all day. I was searching for something. But I'm always searching. I'm like a scavenger looking for stuff that no one else sees. I headed out to the nearby state park figuring that I could get away from the busy world and focus on the real stuff that life is made of. When my Dad was alive he often headed to this park just to sit and watch people. My parents made me a "people watcher." A big treat for me was to head to the local drug store with them and have an ice cream soda and then sit in the car in front of the shopping center and just watch people walk by. But I went to the park this time to get away from people. I just wanted to listen to what was going on inside me. I walked down to the edge of the lake and stood inside this covered pavilion where a few old picnic tables sat waiting for the summer folk. The squirrels ran from tree to tree scampering Considering A Reverse Mortgage ? Reverse Mortgages can increase monthly cash flow. Reverse Mortgages can eliminate debt.

A few geese paddled by watching me carefully, not sure if I came to offer them a slices of yesterday's bread. They hesitated now, but as the summer crowds fill the park the geese and ducks become quite brazen as they intrude upon the picnic areas like street gangs almost threatening the visitors to share the goodies. But for now we kept our distance. They had this look that seemed to say, "Oh, he's only a dreamer. Probably a writer at worst. They have nothing to give but themselves." They moved on. Off along the shoreline, at a point that seemed too narrow to venture on to, I could see an woman. She sat quietly with little (continued on page 58) Concrete Overlay Solutions Garage Floors • Commercial Floors Walkways/patios • Acid Stain Painting Services Shorecrete uses polyaspartic products.

I assumed like me, she was in retreat from the world. A light rain began to fall and speckled the calmness of the water interrupting my glassy stare at the reflection of the gray clouds. It reminded me that life is often interrupted just when things are calm and we get too settled into it. I guess as I look back at it all, those times offered challenges for growth. Although, at the time, I saw no real value at all. Having been lost in thought for a few minutes, I didn't notice that the woman had moved away from her perch at the lake's edge. I scanned the area and found her sitting close by on a fallen tree trunk under one of the many tall pines. The rain for now, had ended. "What is it they say about rainy days and Mondays?" she said as she sat with her head bowed down. "Always get me down!" I yelled over to her in reply. Words from a song I had tucked away in my memory. "Well as my Daddy always said, this is "The one that got away." she said as she lifted and turned her head toward me. "Your father was a fisherman?" I asked.

"My Uncle Al carried fishing equipment in his trunk and would pull over whenever he found a lake or creek. He had a license in about four states including New Jersey, where he lived." I told her. "No, my Daddy didn't fish in lakes and streams. He was what the Bible called a "Fisher of Men." He was a preacher." She 58 seemed to hold her head high and proud as she spoke about him. "He always considered a day lost when he could not make a difference in someones life. He called it "The one that got away." "So, you're feeling like you lost this one?" I asked. (continued on page 59) (continued from page 58) "I'm afraid I've lost a whole bunch of them." she said as she turned her back to the lake. "I can't seem to get back to the way I was before. I was always upbeat and motivated. I think I often overwhelmed people with my positive spirit. It concerned me at first until one day my co-workers said they depended on me to be that way. It seems a lot of people did." "So, what happened?" I asked not expecting a straight answer. It really wasn't any of my business. "My husband's business all but collapsed. He made some poor choices and everything we had seemed to vanish." she said as she walked closer to me. "Forgive me for asking such a personal question. But was your love for each other a part of the business?" "What do you mean?" she asked. "This road to self destruction that you seem to be on leads me to believe that you've forgotten that your love for each other is far more valuable than the business or mistakes made. It appears to me that, like this lake, everything was smooth and wonderful until it rained" I said. "You can either look at the business failure as something that has taken away from your relationship or like the rain on the lake, added to it." She had tears in her eyes as she stood there looking so helpless and lost. "But it was a side of him I never saw. He made reckless choices. Our life isn't the same because of it" she said. "This isn't the one that got away" I said. "You're throwing this one back because it's the wrong size. Like the fisherman you toss it back...it's too small." "As a fisher of men, your Daddy went after the big and the little challenges. Those days when one seemed to have gotten away he found strength in the love he had in his life. The love of his family and the love for God. He would not permit defeat and poor judgment to ever diminish that love. Love is always the answer" I continued. "Here's a better song. 'Love. Love will keep us together.'" "Don't tell me. You're a preacher" she said. "No. But I was told that I am a 'fisher of men." I replied. "Well, I believe my Daddy sent you here. Good catch!" she said as she smiled. "What bait do you use?" "A little caring, a bit of trust, and a lot of faith, I guess" I replied. "Well, I'm a believer" she said. "So am I. 'I believe in YOU!'"

[email protected] 63 Senior Financial Exploitation Workshop Scheduled for June 13 Financial scams targeting seniors have become so prevalent that they’re now considered “the crime of the 21st century,” according to the National Council on Aging. In addition, “The MetLife Study of Elder Financial Abuse” reports that the annual financial loss by victims of elder abuse is estimated to be at least $2.9 billion, a 12% increase since 2008. On Friday, June 13, 2014, from 10am to 2pm, Talbot County’s Senior Financial Exploitation Task Force is hosting its second annual Financial Exploitation Workshop at the Talbot Senior Center at Brookletts Place in Easton, MD. The workshop, which coincides with National Elder Abuse Awareness Day that week, will educate the community about the risks and vulnerabilities that our seniors face, particularly in regard to financial, Medicare and insurance fraud and marketing scams. The issue of financial exploitation by mail, computer and phone is increasingly affecting seniors every day. Awareness is key to preventing this abuse. Seniors, children of seniors, caregivers and concerned citizens who want to learn more about risks and vulnerabilities seniors face today are encouraged to attend. The event is sponsored by a task force comprised of local professionals from The Talbot Bank, the State Health Insurance Program (SHIP/SMP), Home Instead Senior Care, Talbot County Department of Social Services, the Maryland Insurance Administration, and Edward Jones. Lunch will be provided. For further information or to register, contact Brookletts Place at 410-822-2869. Pea Patch Island Bus Trip On Saturday, June 7, 2014, AAUW (The American Association of University Women) is sponsoring a trip to Delaware City, Pea Patch Island, and lunch and sightseeing in Chesapeake City. The bus will leave from Easton and arrive at Fort Delaware State Park, Delaware City. Fort Delaware, the Union fortress dating back to 1859, once housed Confederate prisoners of war. It was originally built to protect the ports of Wilmington and Philadelphia. From there the group will board a ferry to Pea Patch Island which is an historic Civil War living site. A jitney will provide transport from the island dock to the granite and brick fortress. Here, costumed interpreters take us back to the summer of 1864. We’ll have an opportunity to help the blacksmith hammer out new parts for a cannon, or work with the laundress. We will be on hand when the 8-inch Columbiad gun fires a live gun powder charge and see a replica of Pea Patch Island as it appeared in 186. We will ferry back and board a bus for the ride to Chesapeake City and lunch at Chesapeake City Restaurant & Marina. There will be free time to walk to shops & sightseeing in Chesapeake City. The bus will leave from the Easton Firehouse parking lot at 7:30am, and leave from Chesapeake City at approximately 4:30pm arriving in Easton at 6:00pm. The cost is $85. Call 410-763-8265 for reservations and choice of luncheon entrée: Stuffed Flounder, London Broil or Chicken Marsala. Choice of salad or soup will be made at the restaurant. Dessert, bread/rolls and beverages are included.
