About the Cover ArtistSean Wells

Sean Wells is from Doylestown PA, and is employed as the Exhibitions Manager at the James A. Michener Art Museum. He spends most of his weekends in Oxford at his family’s home. Sean prefers to paint around Oxford and the Eastern Shore as he loves water scenes, boating and participating in Oxford community events. He majored in painting at the Savannah College of Art and Design in GA, and graduated with a BFA.

Featured on the cover is Two Moored, an oil painting of a famil-iar Oxford scene of two Shields sail-boats tied to moorings in the Tred Avon River.

Sean participated in the Fine Arts Fair at Oxford for the first time in 2014 and has completed three Ox-ford Picket Fences for the charity Auction held each October. Sean’s fence, “Two Sides of the Pride,” was

the highest seller in 2013 and pro-ceeds benefited the establishment of Oxford’s dog park. That fence featured the tall ship Pride of Balti-more II. His crab fence entry won the highest bid for the evening in 2012. Proceeds from that auction were donated to melanoma research. He has donated paintings to help raise funds for Preservation Maryland, Habitat for Humanity, The Oxford Museum and Oxford Fire Company.

Two of Sean’s newest paintings are Buoy 12A located in the Choptank River and Storm Surge, a buoy that washed ashore on Martha’s Vineyard.

Sean’s original paintings and giclée prints are available for sale on his website at scwellsdesigns.com, The Treasure Chest in Oxford, and Vin-tage Books and Fine Art in Easton.

A Quiet Weekby

Helen ChappellIt’s been a quiet week some-

where, but not on the street where I live. As concerns my neighbors, it’s my practice to keep a low pro-file and stay out of the line of fire. I like to be on cordial terms here on, shall we say, Sesame Street, but I’m not in and out of other people’s houses all day.

As far as I’m concerned, your drama is not my drama. As the Polish saying goes ~ Not my cir-cus, not my monkeys. Still and all, I can’t help but be fascinated when something interesting happens on Sesame Street.

I could tell you about the ongo-ing family feud. I could tell you about the neighbor who moved away using a horse trailer, or the strange, tell-you-all-about-your-self hoarder who always seemed to know what we were all up to and why even before we did.

His death was quite a show. It took a crew in Hazmat suits and masks, a f lock of stunned and estranged relatives and four and a half giant roll off dumpsters to get rid of the ceiling-high stacks of newspapers, magazines, and plain old trash that filled his big, decrepit house. Did I mention the roaches, mold and bedbugs?

If he’d been nicer and not con-stantly prowling around at night peering into people’s windows, I might have felt worse. But he’s gone to the great thrift shop in the sky, where a Collector more pow-erful than me will judge him.

So, all of that has been interest-ing in a vague kind of way, but my whole aim in life these days is to keep a low profile and stay out of the line of fire. The entire French army could march down Sesame Street with a brass band and I might peek out the window, but that’s it.

I was kind of surprised when I found out that there had been a bank robbery at the other end of the street. I came home and sort

of wondered what all the f lashing lights and cruisers and Staties and Sheriffs were all doing.

In a town so small we have to rent a town drunk, we sure seem to get a lot of excitement here. Since a great deal of it is on various court dockets, I’m not free to discuss it in a family-friendly publication, but let’s just say I am a former journal-ist and I Have My Sources.

So here’s the deal. Three crimi-nals, evidently with the collective I.Q. of my shoe size, decided to hold up the jewel box-sized branch bank down the block on Sesame Street.

I wasn’t there, of course. I was oblivious, as usual, to the happen-

ings. Apparently one individual was the wheel man, another the lookout, and a third actually went into the bank and did the stick-up. As I heard it, the teller handed over a bag of swag and did as he or she was trained to do, which is such a closely guarded secret I’d have to kill you if I told you what little I knew.

As the silent alarms went off, the robber f led the bank and the Unholy Trinity sped away in a late model something.

Now, as the scuttlebutt goes, they ended up at Harrington at the casino. So the Three Stooges march in, and Stooge #1 plunks the swag bag down on the ca-shier’s counter where you buy all

the chips and stuff you need to spend your day gambling.

I don’t know if you’ve ever been to the casino, but it’s this vast space, all on one f loor, with acres and acres of slot machines, the computerized kind, not the fun old fashioned one-armed ban-dits. And there are table games, and bars and cafés and the highly desirable all-you-can-eat buffet. There is also a theatre where we once saw a great Elvis tribute art-ist and a bunch of other over-stim-ulating, over-lit stuff.

It’s daylight in the casino twenty-four/seven because casinos never close and it’s always 3 p.m. in there.

You can stagger in at 4 a.m. and there are people playing blackjack before they go to work. There are all kinds of people, all day and all night, focused on one thing: gambling. The building could burn down and people would still be chained to the slots until the fire-men dragged them out.

A Quiet Week

Personally, I think they were ac-tually there for the free buffet, be-cause the all-you-can-eat shrimp is pretty good, but I digress, as usual.

Anyhoo, Stooge #1 rips the swag bag open with a grand ges-ture, like all the cash is gonna come f lying out of there. Instead, there’s a popping sound and the dye pack explodes all over the place. You do know about the dye pack, don’t you?

It’s a dummy bundle the teller slips into the bag. It’s paper money on the outside, but in the middle there’s a squid of reddish-pink dye that explodes when you toy with it. So, that’s exactly what the

Stooge did. POP! And the red dye just blows up all over the place. All over the Stooges, all over the ca-shier and all over the goon squad.

What? You never noticed those huge hulking guys in suits hang-ing around the edges of casinos, cracking their knuckles? The kids in the uniforms are just for show. The goon squad is the muscle.

A Quiet Week

A casino has more security than a bank. Somewhere up in the ceil-ing there are cameras attached to monitors being watched closely by people who spot card counters, pickpockets, people who take an extra shrimp from the free buffet, you name it. That’s the first line.

The second line are the people in uniforms, mingling with the guests. The third is the ones in civilian clothes ~ the goon squad. They are the big hulking guys I want on my team. Security in a casino is tighter than a Politburo meeting.

So you can just imagine how fast the Three Stooges, all splattered with red paint, were up against the

wall, frisked, cuffed and on their way back to the Maryland State Line to face charges.

Now, I have to admit, that may not be exactly the way it hap-pened. Reliable sources say it was slightly different, but I like my ver-sion better. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Helen Chappell is the creator of the Sam and Hollis mystery series and the Oysterback stories, as well as The Chesapeake Book of the Dead. Under her pen name, Re-becca Baldwin, she has published a number of historical novels.

Exploring the Miles River Aboard the Historic Winnie Estelle

Winnie Estelle in her berth at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.

The high bow of the Chesapeake buyboat Winnie Estelle cuts a sharp path across the Miles River on a bearing for the northern t ip of Long Point Island carrying a full complement of passengers and crew in search of an isolated great blue heron rookery.

“The herons roost in trees, which is weird because you usually see them standing on the edge of the water,” Elle O’Brien, an educator for the Miles-Wye Riverkeeper Conser-vancy, explains to the attentive pas-sengers. “In the rookery, they look like pterodactyls. They even sound

like pterodactyls.” And then quickly adds, “Or what I think pterodactyls would sound like.”

R iverkeeper Jef f Horst ma n, standing before the mast of the boat, tells everyone to be on the lookout for bald eagles that also live in the trees on the island. As if on cue, an eagle glides low over the river, look-ing for an unsuspecting fish swim-ming near the surface, and O’Brien points out the raptor as it passes by.

“There’s another one,” a passen-ger yells. “No,” another responds. “It is the same one. It just turned around and is coming back again.”

As volunteer Captain Jerry Fried-man pilots the Winnie Estelle in closer to the island, herons are vis-ible in the trees while others perch like so many lawn statues on dead-fall trees or stalk along the banks. Several of the great birds, long necks tucked and spindly legs trailing,

f ly overhead, their wings making soundless, powerful strokes.

And so goes the morning as one serendipitous find follows the next. The sold-out tour that combines the efforts of the Chesapeake Bay Mari-time Museum’s Education Depart-ment and the Riverkeeper Conser-vancy is off to a good start under a clear sky on a pleasant summer day. Three previous days of rain had the planners worried, but now the sun is out, the breeze is cool and birds seem more than happy to oblige.

Horstman, who recent ly lef t the world of financial planning to start a second career in hands-on conservation, tells the passengers they are welcome to assist in the science experiments that will be conducted from Winnie Estelle’s decks. The Riverkeepers and their volunteers routinely monitor the health of the rivers. The scenic Miles and Wye rivers with their seemingly low population density are, in fact, impaired by high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, he says. Oysters are at one percent of their historic high levels, and water quality is poor. Today, following the rain, the water is a murky green-brown.

The Winnie Estelle, the Museum’s latest addition to its f loating f leet, provides a stable platform for the on-board classroom. CBMM took delivery of the 94-year-old buyboat on April 1 after she was bought by an anonymous Museum benefac-tor. She was documented in 1920 in

Crisfield but in all probability was built that year by Captain Noah T. Evans on Smith Island, according to Evans family members. She was originally built with local pine and worked hard all of her life, hauling oysters from the skipjack f leets dredging out on the Bay to markets in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and the packing houses of the Northern Neck of Virginia.

After spending much of her life on the Chesapeake, the Winnie Es-telle, named for Captain Evans’ two daughters, was sold and moved to the Caribbean, where she was used to haul freight and hardwood up and down the Central American coast.

She was abandoned and left to rot, a common fate for Chesapeake boats sold south, but was saved in 1990 when Captain Roberto Smith spotted her on a reef and liked her lines.

Smith rebuilt the 65-foot boat using the tropical hardwoods that were readily available. In the process, he replaced about 80 percent of her wood and saved her for future gen-erations. He sailed the old Maryland girl out of Ambergris Key in Belize, ferrying divers and tourists to local attractions. Two years ago, Mike Whitehill of Centreville found the Winnie Estelle for sale in Guatemala and bought her from Smith. He sailed the boat, with Smith’s help, back to the United States and returned her to the Chesapeake Bay in 2013.

It was about that time when the Mister Jim, the replica buyboat that had been the primary tour vessel of the Maritime Museum for almost 30 years, began suffering from major wooden boat and engine fatigue. The Museum staff was talking to White-hill about the future of the Winnie Estelle when the donor bought her for the Museum’s use. Mister Jim has since been sold to a new owner who plans to take her south.

Winnie Estelle’s longer deck provides the Museum with a big-ger stage for its programs, and the Riverkeepers and Museum volun-teers keep the passengers enter-tained with a variety of experiments and “show-and-tell.”

armed with a cluster of oyster shells and one very large single shell as she explains the life cycle of the Bay’s most important mollusks. “Oysters used to be so plentiful that the bars came out of the water at low tide,” she says. Local shipping traff ic could run aground on mounds. She explains that oysters used to filter all of the water in the Bay in two days. Now it takes more than two years to complete the same task.

A visitor from Illinois says he has never eaten an oyster and wonders if they are in season. Elle says the wild oyster season is in the cold months, but that cultivated oysters are now available year-round.

water. He lowers a black and white “Secchi” disk on a rope into the wa-ter, telling the onlookers that this simple gauge was invented by an Italian priest. He lowers it until it can’t be seen through water. He then pulls it up slowly until it reappears near the surface and measures the length of the line. “We can only see 18 inches to two feet down,” Hinkel says. “Usually we can see down five or six feet, but there is a lot of runoff from the rain.” He says that histori-cally, before the Bay was polluted, watermen reported being able to see the bottom at 20-foot depths.

CBMM’s Education Director, Kate Livie, says the cruise is the result of a partnership with the Riverkeeper and their common goal of informing the public about natural resources.

“The Riverkeeper cruise is just one of a whole host of interpretive cruises and in-classroom lessons we’ve done,” Livie says. “It’s been a great way to combine our efforts at connecting with the public, and also to work with a local organization that has a considerable overlap in mission with our own.

Abacos AdventuresSailing and Exploring the Bahamas

byBonna L. Nelson

The Alpha Cat ~ home for the first half of our vacation.

The wind caught the sails of the Alpha Cat as we skimmed across the turquoise waters of the Sea of Abaco in the direction of Tahiti Beach. Riley, a Portuguese water dog, pranced along the gunnels of the catamaran, occasionally hop-ping into the cockpit to lick our toes or to be petted by his owner, Captain

Robbie Robinson, who was at the helm. First mate Petra shared her insights with us on the best dining spots near our first night dockage, between Lubbers Quarters Island and Elbow Cay.

Capt. Robbie and Petra anchored us safely in Dorra’s Cove and sped off in their shuttle boat. My hus-

band, John, and I washed the travel dust and sea salt off and took the small Boston Whaler, tied to the Alpha Cat, to shore to meet our driver. Our Easton neighbors and traveling companions, Robbie and Jay Carey, decided to have dinner on the catamaran.

The Abaco Inn boaters’ pick-up service gave us the opportunity to experience a delicious meal of suc-culent broiled Bahamian crawfish (lobster) with a side dish favored by the locals, pigeon peas (lentil-like beans) and rice. The Inn sits on a small elevation overlooking the roaring waves of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the calm Sea of Abaco on the other. The ocean waves crashed over the craggy limestone formations as we took a post-dinner stroll before heading back to the Cat for the night.

A similar scene was repeated almost every day during our first

week in the Abacos ~ islands in the northern Bahamas archipelago ~ where we “cay-hopped” amongst 150 cays, some historic settlements decorated with pastel cottages, and some uninhabited islands decorated with tropical trees and glittering white beaches. The leeward side of the 120-mile-long chain of islands offers calm, sheltered, brilliant blue waters and warm breezes ~ a boat-ing, sailing, and fishing paradise.

Months before our Abaco ad-venture began, I had to leave John behind early one evening at a dinner and auction. It was a big night for John at the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA), Maryland Mid-Shore Chapter, annual fundraiser. He bid on, and won, several trips. One was the Alpha Cat Catamaran Charter in Abaco, Bahamas. I should leave him at auctions more often!

CCA seeks to conserve, promote, and enhance coastal resources for the benefit and enjoyment of all. They have chapters in 17 states and have more than 25 years of experience and

41

interest in the health and longevity of coastal fisheries and waters.

Capt. Robbie, owner/operator of Alpha Cat Charters, offers one trip a month to the national CCA f undraising auct ions. He grew up in Ocean City, MD, and there he began helping an uncle on his fishing charter boat at age nine. Robbie also spent some time as a fishing guide in Florida. Familiar with the mission of the CCA in both states, he is a strong supporter and his auction charter trips ref lect his CCA commitment.

The fully equipped 45’ Alpha Cat is captained by day and bareboat by night. We were comfortably accommodated with four queen staterooms and heads, galley, salon,

canopied cockpit with table and lounges, and bow trampoline for sunning. We used the 13’ Whaler dinghy with outboard motor to travel to the cays each day.

As Capt. Robbie suggested, we took a taxi van from the newly opened international airport in Marsh Harbor to pick up provi-sions for the week and met him at a marina dock. After loading up our luggage in a downpour, we shuttled out to the Cat. Fortunately, the rain stopped in time for us to unload.

Afternoon showers and squalls were a frequent occurrence dur-ing our stay, as they are in Florida (Abaco is only 200 miles east of Palm Beach). But the sight of mag-nificent cloud formations over the

Abacos Adventures

white sand beaches and aqua seas of Abaco were worth every raindrop. The nights were filled with stars and the quiet rocking of the Cat that lulled us to sleep.

We dinghied to Tahiti Beach one morning to explore the tranquil white sand spit, John looking for fish, while I searched for seashells. We had heard a roaring overnight and located the source, the Tilloo Cut, behind Tahiti Beach. There the At-lantic Ocean rushed through a rock formation. Empty conch shells were scattered on the deserted beach, our footprints being the first of the day. We spotted stingrays, mullet fish and a few loggerhead turtles on the gorgeously sunny morning.

John and Bonna Nelson, with Robbie and Jay Carey, on Alpha Cat.

Capt. Robbie and Petra usually arrived mid-morning. Every day they provided the time of their ar-rival for the next day and revealed our sailing destination which in-cluded Little Harbour Cay, Lynyard Cay and Man-O-War Cay, depend-ing on the weather. One day they brought fresh-caught mahi mahi that we cooked for dinner.

We spent one night at Little Har-bor Cay visiting Pete’s Pub, a famous beach eatery and art gallery. At picnic tables on the sand we enjoyed fresh snapper and the popular local drink, Goombay Smash, a fruity rum concoction on which you can easily get smashed; they go down sooo easy!

We browsed the gallery display-ing Pete’s world-famous bronze

marine sculptures and walked the beach on both sides of the island. Pete’s is a fun, casual locals’ hang-out for families and couples. Shoes are discouraged.

John spotted bonefish (his reason for the trip), needle fish, bait fish, and mullet in the water near shore. While three of us relaxed on the Cat over a glass of wine and admired the stunning moon and stillness, he went fishing.

And so the days passed as we explored the color f ul ly named Abacos Cays. On Lynyard Cay we snorkeled over reefs to Capt. Rob-bie’s “private beach.” There he had hung a rope hammock and lef t chairs. We relaxed, shelled and John fished. Loggerhead turtles and rays magically circled the Cat. After watching a stunning sunset, we spotted barracuda and needle fish at the stern of the boat under the gleam of our f lashlights.

Abacos Adventures

Hopetown on Elbow Cay, a quaint British Colonial-style village of pas-tel cottages, tropical f lowers, shops and restaurants and a historical lighthouse was our next stop. On the way there, we noticed that most of the islands are lush with green casuarinas, sea grape, palmetto, co-conut palms and other tropical trees, with mangroves lining many shores. We spotted the red and white candy-striped Elbow Reef Lighthouse, a notable Abaco landmark (c.1863). We passed a small boat that Capt. Rob-bie thought was heading for Haiti. Apparently Haitians migrate to the Abacos, where there is a small com-munity of folks seeking a better life.

On many islands we found our favorite island cuisine: crayfish, conch chowder, cracked conch (conch cut in strips and cooked tempura-style), fresh fish and Key Lime pie. We explored museums, art galleries, shops and historical sites as well as beaches. To my surprise we found a Tilghman Island artist, Walt Bartman, on exhibit in the

Elbow Reef Lighthouse.

One day Robbie Carey took the helm, sailing us to picturesque Man-O-War Cay ~ a very religious teetotalers’ settlement. We browsed through their world-famous boat building operations and chatted with the ladies making canvas bags out of sail cloth. On every island we spotted boats from many U.S. states including Florida, the Carolinas, New York, and Mar yland, even Tangier Island.

byes, we picked up our rental car and more provisions and drove to Casuarina Point, south of Marsh Harbor on Great Abaco Island. Owners Donna and James Rees met us at Key Lime House, where we spent a peaceful week walking the beach, swimming (we spotted several types of starfish as well as sand dollars on the sea bottom), kayaking, shelling, exploring more cays, reading, and for John, bone-fishing with a guide (catching more than 12 the first day!).

It was a relaxing, heavenly week in paradise in a beautifully fur-nished home with a huge covered veranda lined with chairs overlook-

ing miles of a powdery white sand beach and translucent aqua sea, and all ours.

In Key Lime’s Boston Whaler we hit the waves to Cherokee, a small, isolated seaside f ishing v i l lage across the bay from us, home to the longest wooden dock in the Ba-hamas. We met friendly locals and shelled at Cherokee Sound Beach and at the deserted island where we stopped on the way back. Jay found a refreshing little tidal pool in the sea where we soaked, whirlpool-like, under cobalt blue sunny skies.

Frederick Douglass DaySeptember 27

Frederick Douglass with his grand-son, Joseph, ca. 1890.

Born into slaver y, Freder ick Douglass became known as an elo-quent author, human rights activist, teacher and writer. He is Talbot County’s most famous native son and a major historical figure. His bronze statue was erected in front of the Talbot County Courthouse in Easton on June 18, 2011.

Once again we will celebrate this great man’s life and accomplish-ments on Saturday, September 27, with a day featuring a parade with bands, speeches, musical perfor-mances, children’s activities, food and retail vendors, a tour of “the Hill,” and an historically oriented scavenger hunt.

A pre-Frederick Douglass Day fundraising event will be held on Friday night at the Avalon Theatre, with live music by the XPDs. Their Motown, R&B, and funk tunes put people in the mood to clap and dance. This event is by ticket only. Admission is $35 per person and will benefit the Frederick Douglass Honor Society’s scholarship fund.

On Saturday at 10:30 a.m., the pa-rade will begin in downtown Easton and end at the Frederick Douglass statue at around 11:15. Eric Lowery, president of the Frederick Douglass Honor Society, will welcome the audience, present musical groups,

and introduce a reading by the winner of the Frederick Douglass Essay contest.

From 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Pro-fessor Dale Green will lead a tour of “The Hill,” recently discovered to be the oldest African-American community in the nation, populated by free blacks and some whites, all living in relative harmony. Profes-sor Green chairs the Historic Pres-ervation Program at Morgan State University and plays an active role

in archaeological digs in “The Hill” neighborhood. At 3 p.m. he will present an update on “The Hill” and their latest archaeological findings.

Kentavius Jones (KJ) and his band will present live music in front of the courthouse. KJ is an Easton native and 2004 Washington Col-lege graduate. He currently resides in Los Angeles, but he often plays in his home territory. KJ’s brand of soulful rock moves people to his beat and onto their feet.

Other musical performers will in-clude the Bay Country Chorus ~ the Easton chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society; Gene Edwards, a master of the digital keyboard and a vocalist with a full array of hits; and the SPAA Singers (Society for the Preservation of African-American Singers), performing soulful sounds of gospel music from the past.

Slice, Stir and SavorFall is the perfect time for quick

cooking with fresh, crisp vegeta-bles. Stir-frying fits the bill as it is nothing more than tossing and turning little bits of food in hot oil. This type of cooking is perfect for hectic lifestyles. It is also very healthy as you use just a small amount of oil, and stir-fry vegeta-bles tend to retain their nutrients better with quick cooking.

The high temperature of the wok allows meat to sear quickly and preserve the juices. For the best f lavor, you want to eat the

food moments after it comes from the wok. Use small pieces of mari-nated chicken, pork or beef. Avoid big chunks of meat because they won’t cook through. Shrimp, scal-lops and firm fish like halibut work very well. Thin fish like tilapia will fall apart too easily.

When cooking with a wok, extra virgin olive oil, expeller pressed canola oil, or grape seed oil all work well as they handle the higher heat without burning. Save the sesame or toasted sesame oil for the finish. All you need is a tablespoon or two

for the entire recipe. You can add f lavor to the oil by adding garlic or fresh ginger just before cooking the rest of the ingredients. You will know your wok is ready when the oil starts to shimmer.

Don’t overcrowd your pan. If necessary, you can always cook in batches. This provides for even cooking. Make sure everything is ready before you start cooking ~ all vegetables and meat need to be cut before cooking begins. Cook your noodles or rice first and have them waiting for the toppings. Make sure your serving platter is also at the ready. The prep work makes cook-ing a breeze.

When cooking chicken, start it in the wok. When it is 80 per-cent done, remove it and work on the veggies. Add the meat back in, along with your chosen sauce to finish it off.

Frozen vegetables can go straight in the wok without thaw-ing, but wait until the water on the vegetables evaporates before add-ing any seasoning.

Queen Anne’s County The history of Queen Anne’s County dates back to the earliest Colonial

settlements in Maryland. Small hamlets began appearing in the northern portion of the county in the 1600s. Early communities grew up around transportation routes, the rivers and streams, and then roads and eventually railroads. Small towns were centers of economic and social activity and evolved over the years from thriving centers of tobacco trade to communities boosted by the railroad boom.

Queenstown was the original county seat when Queen Anne’s County was created in 1706, but that designation was passed on to Centreville in 1782. It’s location was important during the 18th century, because it is near a creek that, during that time, could be navigated by tradesmen. A hub for shipping and receiving, Queenstown was attacked by English troops during the War of 1812.

Construction of the Federal-style courthouse in Centreville began in 1791 and is the oldest courthouse in continuous use in the state of Maryland. Today, Centreville is the largest town in Queen Anne’s County. With its relaxed lifestyle and tree-lined streets, it is a classic example of small town America.

The Stevensville Historic District, also known as Historic Stevensville, is a national historic district in downtown Stevensville, Queen Anne’s County. It contains roughly 100 historic structures, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is located primarily along East Main Street, a portion of Love Point Road, and a former section of Cockey Lane.

The Chesapeake Heritage and Visitor Center in Chester at Kent Narrows provides and overview of the Chesapeake region’s heritage, resources and culture. The Chesapeake Heritage and Visitor Center serves as Queen Anne’s County’s official welcome center.

Queen Anne’s County is also home to the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center (formerly Horsehead Wetland Center), located in Grasonville. The CBEC is a 500-acre preserve just 15 minutes from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Over 200 species of birds have been recorded in the area.

Embraced by miles of scenic Chesapeake Bay waterways and graced with acres of pastoral rural landscape, Queen Anne’s County offers a relaxing environment for visitors and locals alike.

Caroline County is the very definition of a rural community. For more than 300 years, the county’s economy has been based on “market” agriculture.

Caroline County was created in 1773 from Dorchester and Queen Anne’s counties. The county was named for Lady Caroline Eden, the wife of Maryland’s last colonial governor, Robert Eden (1741-1784).

Denton, the county seat, was situated on a point between two ferry boat landings. Much of the business district in Denton was wiped out by the fire of 1863.

Following the Civil War, Denton’s location about fifty miles up the Choptank River from the Chesapeake Bay enabled it to become an important shipping point for agricultural products. Denton became a regular port-of-call for Baltimore-based steamer lines in the latter half of the 19th century.

Preston was the site of three Underground Railroad stations during the 1840s and 1850s. One of those stations was operated by Harriet Tubman’s parents, Benjamin and Harriet Ross. When Tubman’s parents were exposed by a traitor, she smuggled them to safety in Wilmington, Delaware.

Linchester Mill, just east of Preston, can be traced back to 1681, and possibly as early as 1670. The mill is the last of 26 water-powered mills to operate in Caroline County and is currently being restored. The long-term goals include rebuilding the millpond, rehabilitating the mill equipment, restoring the miller’s dwelling, and opening the historic mill on a scheduled basis.

Federalsburg is located on Marshyhope Creek in the southern-most part of Caroline County. Agriculture is still a major portion of the industry in the area; however, Federalsburg is rapidly being discovered and there is a noticeable influx of people, expansion and development. Ridgely has found a niche as the “Strawberry Capital of the World.” The present streetscape, lined with stately Victorian homes, reflects the transient prosperity during the countywide canning boom (1895-1919). Hanover Foods, formerly an enterprise of Saulsbury Bros. Inc., for more than 100 years, is the last of more than 250 food processors that once operated in the Caroline County region.

Points of interest in Caroline County include the Museum of Rural Life in Denton, Adkins Arboretum near Ridgely, and the Mason-Dixon Crown Stone in Marydel. To contact the Caroline County Office of Tourism, call 410-479-0655 or visit their website at www.tourcaroline.com.

TIDEWATERGARDENINGby K. Marc Teffeau, Ph.D.

Transitioning from Summer to FallSeptember is the transition month

between summer and fall in the gar-den and landscape. I always look forward to the cooler days of Sep-tember, and the long shadows that the afternoon sun casts across the landscape. The days are still warm enough to enjoy, but there is that hint of cool in the morning and evening. As a transition month ~ like May to June ~ the pace of gar-dening activities increases.

Production from the existing vegetable plantings is slowing down and we notice a more uneven ripening process for the tomatoes and squash. Start to think about how you are going to preserve any of the semi-green or green toma-toes that you might have before the first frost hits next month.

Near the end of September, pick off all tomato blossoms that won’t have time to bear fruit so the plant nutrients go to existing tomatoes.

Your maturing hot peppers will keep best if stored after they are

dry. Pull up the entire plant and hang it up, or pick the peppers and thread on a string. Store in a cool, dry place and make sure you wash your hands after handling them.

We can still seed some lettuce and other greens in early Septem-ber. They will come up and give you a nice basis for salads later on in October. Also, don’t forget to seed root crops like beets, carrots, tur-nips and parsnips. They might not get very large in the fall, but they do overwinter. If you cover them with some straw, you can harvest

them in the spring. Harvesting some of the crop in fall is nice be-cause these root crops are small and they stay tender. Have you ever eaten a beet from the garden that is the size of a baseball? They tend to be rather woody.

September is a great time to plant and divide perennials for next year’s garden. Those planted in the fall will not have to endure the sum-mer heat during establishment as the ones planted in the spring, and they will form sufficient root sys-tems before winter dormancy.

amount of organic matter such as compost and fertilizer evenly over the area. Mix this at least 6 to 8 inches deep into the soil. Space di-visions at least one foot apart in all directions so that root competition will not be a problem for several years. If you have a mass of perenni-als where the center plants have died out, discard the dead centers and replant divisions from around the perimeter. Fist-sized pieces are fine.

Add lilies to you list of plants in the perennials beds for many years of beautiful f lowering. Modern hy-brids are available in many colors and grow from two to six feet tall. American-grown hybrid varieties have less trouble with virus dis-ease than the old species types.

Perennial phlox are also a nice addition to the perennial bed. They should be divided about every third or fourth year. Early fall and early spring are the best times to plant and transplant them. Divide big clumps into thirds.

If you have tender bulbs, such as cannas, caladiums, tuberous bego-nias and gladiolus mixed into the f lower beds, be sure to dig them before frost. Air dry and store in dry peat moss or vermiculite in a location where they will not freeze over the winter.

center: this is where fungal spore production occurs.

These spores overwinter in the garden on infected debris from

previous years and in the soil. When mild weather returns, new spores are generated, and the cy-cle begins again. Disseminated by being wind-blown or carried by splashing rain, new spores pen-etrate iris leaf tissue, re-infecting the same plants and others nearby.

Leaf spot doesn’t kill right away, but repeated attacks will weaken plants, impairing their ability to grow and increase in clumps. Flowering will decrease, and weakened plants will become more susceptible to other pests.

Control of this disease is straight forward. In the fall, rake up and dispose of old iris leaves. Do not compost them, or you’ll simply bring the problem back. Also, have

a look at how you’ve got your iris beds laid out. Mycosphaerella likes humid conditions where air f low is restricted. Plant irises in sunny beds and don’t allow the clumps to become overcrowded. Avoid low-lying areas prone to damp soil.

Avoid wetting the leaves when ir-rigating, and be careful walking in your beds, particularly when foli-age is wet, because you can spread spores that way.

We can’t talk about September without mentioning spring f lower-ing bulbs like tulips, narcissus, and hyacinths. There are always ques-tions about spring f lowering bulbs and their use in the landscape. One is how soon after purchasing spring f lowering bulbs should they be planted?

The best place for f lower bulbs is tucked in the soil of a well-drained, well-prepared garden bed. But if planting must be put off for practi-cal reasons, then take care to store the bulbs in a cool, dry place away

from direct sunlight. Excess heat and moisture can harm bulbs.

Bulbs stored under proper con-ditions for a few weeks, but planted at least six weeks before the ground freezes hard, can practically be guaranteed to come up in spring.

Of course, not all bulbs are cre-ated equal. Certain specialty bulbs have a tendency to dry out if left un-planted, thus should be purchased early in the season and planted right away. This applies to Colchi-cum and snowdrops (Galanthus), as well as Erythronium (dog’s-tooth violet), Corydalis, Fritillaria and the rhizome-forming anemo-nes such as Anemone nemorosa and A. ranunculoides.

is the top, plant it on its side. The stem will always grow upright.

As you select your f lowering bulbs to plant this fall, keep in mind that larger caliber bulbs give

big, showy displays, but cost more. Smaller caliber bulbs usually are less expensive, with a smaller show, but are great for brightening nooks and crannies in your yard.

When planting your spring bulbs, remember that a mass planting of one f lower type or color will pro-duce a better effect than a mixture of many colors. Flowers of bulbs stand out more vividly if displayed against a contrasting background. For example, white hyacinths among English ivy, yellow daffo-dils against a ‘Burford’ holly hedge, or red tulips towering over a carpet of yellow pansies.

the top leaves. Dip the lower ends in rooting hormone and insert the stems into a moist and loose, soil-less media. Cover the pot with a perforated plastic bag and keep outside in a protected location. Pull gently on the stems in two weeks to test for root growth. Pot the cut-tings up individually after they start growing and bring them indoors for use during the winter.

Harvest the individual leaves of tarragon, rosemary, basil, sage and other culinary herbs and dry them indoors. Herb leaves are most in-tensely f lavored right before the plant blooms. Snip foliage in the morning after the dew has dried.

To dry herbs for storage, tie the cut stems together and hang them upside down in a dry location. Cov-er with a paper bag to avoid losing the leaves. Store dried herbs in glass jars away from light and heat. Fresh basil can be processed into

pesto and can be frozen in plastic containers for winter use.

For established deciduous trees and shrubs in the landscape, wait for their leaves to begin to drop be-fore fertilizing them. This signals dormancy, when no new growth will be stimulated that might not harden off prior to cold temperatures. Roots are active until soil temperature drops below 40°, so nutrients will be taken up and used by the plants to develop a stronger root system.

Allow plants to finish the sum-mer growth cycle in a normal man-ner. Never encourage growth with excessive pruning at this time as plants will delay their hardening process that has already begun in anticipation of winter. New growth can be easily injured by an early freeze. This is the beginning of their slow progression into winter dormancy. Don’t “confuse” them by doing things that trigger growth while their genes are attempting to regulate the opposite.

Don’t be alarmed if evergreens, especially white pine and arborvi-tae, drop needles. All evergreens shed needles at some time, but not all at once like deciduous plants do.

Happy Gardening!

Here, some of the handsom-est models of the Bay craft, such as canoes, bugeyes, pungys and some famous Baltimore Clippers, were designed and built. The Church, named “St. Michael’s,” was the first building erected (about 1677) and around it clustered the town that took its name.

It is known for its glazed brickwork. Hell’s Crossing is the intersection of Locust and Carpenter streets and is so-named because in the late 1700’s, the town was described as a rowdy one, in keeping with a port town where sailors

OxfordPoints of Interest

Oxford is one of the oldest towns in Maryland. Although already settled for perhaps 20 years, Oxford marks the year 1683 as its official founding, for in that year Oxford was first named by the Maryland General Assembly as a seaport and was laid out as a town. In 1694, Oxford and a new town called Anne Arundel (now Annapolis) were selected the only ports of entry for the entire Maryland province. Until the American Revolution, Oxford enjoyed prominence as an international shipping center surrounded by wealthy tobacco plantations.

Today, Oxford is a charming tree-lined and waterbound village with a population of just over 700 and is still important in boat building and yacht-ing. It has a protected harbor for watermen who harvest oysters, crabs, clams and fish, and for sailors from all over the Bay.

Started in 1683, this is believed to be the oldest privately operated ferry in the United States. Its first keeper was Richard Royston, whom the Talbot County Court “pitcht upon” to run a ferry at an unusual subsidy of 2,500 pounds of tobacco. Service has been continuous since 1836, with power supplied by sail, sculling, rowing, steam, and modern diesel engine. Many now take the ride between Oxford and Bellevue for the scenic beauty.

15. BYEBERRY - On the grounds of Cutts & Case Boatyard. It faces Town Creek and is one of the oldest houses in the area. The date of construction is unknown, but it was standing in 1695. Originally, it was in the main business section but was moved to the present location about 1930. (Private residence)

16. CUTTS & CASE - 306 Tilghman St. World-renowned boatyard for classic yacht design, wooden boat construction and restoration using composite structures. Some have described Cutts & Case Shipyard as an American Nautical Treasure because it produces to the highest standards quality work equal to and in many ways surpassing the beautiful artisan-ship of former times.

Tilghman’s Island“Great Choptank Island” was granted to Seth Foster in 1659. Thereafter

it was known as Foster’s Island, and remained so through a succession of owners until Matthew Tilghman of Claiborne inherited it in 1741. He and his heirs owned the island for over a century and it has been Tilghman’s Island ever since, though the northern village and the island’s postal designation are simply “Tilghman.”

For its first 175 years, the island was a family farm, supplying grains, vegetables, fruit, cattle, pigs and timber. Although the owners rarely were in residence, many slaves were: an 1817 inventory listed 104. The last Tilghman owner, General Tench Tilghman (not Washington’s aide-de-camp), removed the slaves in the 1830s and began selling off lots. In 1849, he sold his remaining interests to James Seth, who continued the development.

The island’s central location in the middle Bay is ideally suited for watermen harvesting the Bay in all seasons. The years before the Civil War saw the influx of the first families we know today. A second wave arrived after the War, attracted by the advent of oyster dredging in the 1870s. Hundreds of dredgers and tongers operated out of Tilghman’s Island, their catches sent to the cities by schooners. Boat building, too, was an important industry.

The boom continued into the 1890s, spurred by the arrival of steamboat service, which opened vast new markets for Bay seafood. Islanders quickly capitalized on the opportunity as several seafood buyers set up shucking and canning operations on pilings at the edge of the shoal of Dogwood Cove. The discarded oyster shells eventually became an island with seafood packing houses, hundreds of workers, a store, and even a post office.

The steamboats also brought visitors who came to hunt, fish, relax and escape the summer heat of the cities. Some families stayed all summer in one of the guest houses that sprang up in the villages of Tilghman, Avalon, Fairbank and Bar Neck. Although known for their independence, Tilghman’s Islanders enjoy showing visitors how to pick a crab, shuck an oyster or find a good fishing spot.

In the twentieth century, Islanders pursued these vocations in farming, on the water, and in the thriving seafood processing industry. The “Tilghman Brand” was known throughout the eastern United States, but as the Bay’s bounty diminished, so did the number of water-related jobs. Still, three of the few remaining Bay skipjacks (sailing dredgeboats) can be seen here, as well as two working harbors with scores of power workboats.

Gary D. CrawfordYou just never know who’s going

to walk into your bookstore, do you? Sometimes it’s an acquaintance you haven’t seen for years, sometimes one of the regulars, and often a total stranger. The other day it wasn’t any of those. In fact, there were two “ar-rivals,” the first one by telephone. But this isn’t where our story starts.

It all began a long time ago, in a place far, far away ~ Springfield, VA. It was January 31, 1993, when I first met a gentleman who was to figure large in my life. We had recently bought a gift shop, the former Tilgh-man Bank building, with the inten-tion of one day retiring here. I wanted to open a strange kind of bookstore, one specializing in books about the water ~ the sea, ships, and the people who sail them. The sea has always been an attraction to me, which is cu-rious since I grew up in Dayton, Ohio, a right good way from the ocean. True, my father served six years in the Navy in the 1930s, logging a hundred thousand sea miles aboard the ill-fated USS Indianapolis, but that really isn’t a good explanation for my watery preferences.

Nevertheless, we had a building and just needed some books to put in it. (I’ve heard since that some people set up a business the other

way around.) My personal collec-tion was no more than 400 books, and the rule of thumb is 30 books to a standard bookshelf, so 150 for a five-shelf bookcase. By a lightning calculation, all my books would fit into just three bookcases with room to spare. Somehow that didn’t seem enough to open a store.

So I went on a quest to find other people who also had collections of nautical books…not all the same as mine, of course…and not in Topeka, but somewhere in the DC area…and these people had to be willing to sell them, of course…and, let’s see, oh yes, they couldn’t be too expensive. OK, how hard could that be? “Hi!

Say, do you have a thousand nautical books you’d like to sell cheap?”

When I mentioned my problem to a book dealer in Arlington, she said, “Yes, I have some nautical books I could sell you, but there’s a guy who has a really big collection. Name is Harold.” [I’m leaving last names out of this.] “Harold sold books for a time in Georgetown. Nice guy, but I don’t even know if he’s still around. Maybe I have his number somewhere…”

She found it and I headed home to give it a try. A gravelly voice an-swered. I said I’d heard from Natalie in Arlington that he had some nau-tical books; he allowed as how he

did have some. I asked about how many he had; he said 8,000, give or take a few.

Gulp. I paused, trying to imagine what 8,000 books would look like. My mind, working like the finely honed machine it is, churned out an answer: 8,000 divided by 150 would be five whole bookcases. No…wait! Wouldn’t it be fifty bookcases? I asked whether his books were for sale or were just his private collec-tion. He said I could buy whichever ones I wanted, at the prices listed in his ledger.

Then I popped the big question. “Um, say. Any chance you’d be will-ing to sell them all?” Without miss-ing a beat, he said, “Yes.” Then he made The Offer. If I took them all,

every one, he’d discount them to 25 cents on the dollar. And he named a figure. I gulped again.

Somewhat dazed, I asked when I could see the books. “Come out today if you want,” he replied, “but I’m watching the Super Bowl at 4.” (The Washington Palefaces were playing the Miami Dolphins. Michael Jackson was to be the halftime act.) When it turned out Harold was only 45 minutes away, I said I’d be there within the hour. He said OK and hung up.

My wife, Susan, and I dashed out to Springfield and met Harold and his wife, Linda. Two hours later on the drive back, I told Susan the

collection was magnificent, but the price was staggering. She didn’t hesi-tate a moment, saying that if I passed up this opportunity, I’d regret it the rest of my life. (She’s like that, al-ways encouraging me to go for it.) To make a long story shorter, we bought Harold’s entire 30-year collection of 8,000 books on an installment plan. I began going over to Harold’s home two nights a week after work.

I soon came to realize that he had forgotten more about nautical books than I would ever know. He became my teacher, my advisor, and over the years a dear friend, nearly a second father.

Harold had intended to open a bookstore of his own, but age and infirmities had made that impos-

sible, so instead, he helped us plan our bookstore. He even ran it on a few weekends, partially fulfilling his dream.

Not all our evening chats were about books. Harold had quite a past, about which he gave me only occasional glimpses. He recalled be-ing on the crew of an ocean-going tug during the “Little Blitz” the spring of 1944, anchored in the Thames with two ammo barges lashed on either

side. Later he watched the Norman-dy landings, as they circled in the Channel picking up broken boats.

I discovered, too, that Harold was a talented ship modeler. In 2000, he decided to build one last model ~ a full-rigged clipper ship ~ for his new grandson, then just a baby. My hunch was that Harold wasn’t sure he would live long enough to really get to know the boy, and thought his last ship model might be a way to speak to him across the years.

He decided to design the vessel himself, to build a model of a ficti-tious clipper combining elements of historical vessels. He obtained scale plans for Flying Cloud, Thermo-pylae, Great Republic, and others. And so was born the medium clipper Lodestar. He picked the name from somewhere and began inventing a history for her, where she was built and when, even concocting highlights

of her 15-year career on the seven seas. I thought it was a terrific idea and encouraged him by writing up that history and digging appropriate photos out of books.

One day, it dawned on me that Lodestar lacked a “ship sailing card.”

A word of explanation may be in order here.

Back in the mid-19th century, the California Gold Rush created an intense competition between ship owners, captains, and the ships themselves. To convince merchants and passengers that their ship was the fastest, driest, the safest way to get from New York City to San Francisco, cards were printed up announcing when a ship was scheduled to depart.

These cards were beautiful full-color lithographs; young boys scam-pered along the South Street water-front putting them in every shop win-dow. After the ship sailed, naturally, these advertising gimmicks were throwaways. The few that managed to survive are now very collectible.

One day I surprised Harold with a sailing card for Lodestar. He seemed pleased, particularly after he noticed the card said she was commanded by his grandson. We were both hav-ing fun.

After moving to the Eastern Shore, I continued to make pilgrim-ages to Springfield to chat with Harold for a few hours. His health was failing, but Lodestar was com-ing along. On a visit one Thursday, he pointed out the progress he had made. The hull was complete, much of the deck furniture was in place,

Three days later, Harold passed away. Everything and everyone, not just Lodestar, suddenly was incomplete.

Months later, I got to thinking about that ship model. The pieces and parts were all there, but it was well beyond my fumble-fingers to complete her. Now it so happened that one of our best customers, to whom we had sold over $6,000 worth of scarce books (we’ll call him Jim), lived just across the Bay in Annapolis. I knew he was an ac-complished ship-modeler because he would sometimes appear in the store with a model he had built, knowing I would appreciate it. After checking with Linda, I phoned Jim with a proposition. Would he com-plete Lodestar, and accept Harold’s modeling tools, equipment, and sup-plies as compensation? No money ~ a swap?

Jim readily agreed to help, so I picked him up in Annapolis and to-gether we drove to Linda’s home in Springfield. There he admired Lode-star and said he would do his best to finish her up. Later, back in Annapo-lis, I helped him put away Lodestar and all the gear in his garage.

About three months later I called Jim to see how Lodestar was com-ing along. He said he was really swamped at work and was having to travel overseas occasionally. I said OK, that there was no rush.

I never saw or heard from Jim again. When I tried to contact him

A tradition of excellence in building.

six months later, sometime in 2002, I found his phone was disconnected. His last name was very common, which made tracing him through the Internet fruitless. He had moved from the house in Annapolis, and no forwarding address was available. It was a dead end.

Finally I had to confess to Linda that we had lost Lodestar. She was very saddened by the news but told me not to blame myself. But of course I did blame myself, as the whole thing was my idea and Linda had trusted me. Worse, there was no way to fix it. A substitute ship model would have no meaning to anyone.

Every now and again during the

12 years since, I have pulled out the Lodestar photos, each time with a pang of regret. I had accepted the loss, but still wondered. Had Jim finished and sold her? Did Lodestar still exist somewhere? Had he gone overseas and taken her with him? Jim certainly had seemed reliable. Had there been an accident? Was he even alive?

Well, we live and learn, and time passes. Today we continue to run the bookstore but have stopped seek-ing books to add to the collection. We have even instituted a discount scheme to boost sales. (Hint, hint.) Still, people do have books to sell and sometimes they call us.

One Saturday morning, a woman in Easton phoned to say she had

158

some nautical books and might we be interested? I told her what I tell everyone, that we’re more interest-ing in selling than buying books these days. She was disappointed to hear it, because she thought some of them had real value. A few might even have come from our store. I asked for an example.

“Well,” she said, “there’s The Seventy-Four Gun Ship.”

I perked up instantly. “Boudriot?” I asked. “Are there four volumes?”

She confirmed that there were. (That’s a $500 set, I thought, maybe more!)

“Anything else interesting?”I asked. Yes, there were some big green

books, very large, with French titles.“Does the title mention anything

about souvenirs?”“Why, yes,” she replied with a note

of surprise. “They read Souvenirs de Marine. So you know about them?”

My mind raced. Oh yes, I knew about them. We had sold a complete set of the six Souvenirs to a customer in Japan for $10,500. But I had sold another set, too, a mismatched one, to another customer. “How did you come by these books?” I asked.

“They were my father’s books and I’m clearing out all his stuff for the family.”

My memory might be failing, but my computer was on. Quickly I checked. Sure enough, the cus-tomer who bought the mixed set of

Lodestar back on Tilghman Island.

Souvenirs was none other than Jim! He had also purchased a Boudriot. Bingo!

“I think you said ‘stuff.’ So, books ~ and what else? By any chance is there a ship model?” Long pause. I waited, breathless.

“Actually, there are two ship models,” she replied. (Now she knew something was up.) “How could you know?”

“Is one in dark wood?” (Harold had built Lodestar of black walnut, a devilish hard wood to work, and

then had stained it with a dark stain.)“Yes, that’s the incomplete one.

There also are masts and parts, and a box…”

The rest of what she said slipped past me. Oh my. Lodestar was still afloat, and she had sailed across the Bay!

Well, the rest of the tale is quickly told. As I explained the full story, she listened attentively. When I asked if the model was for sale, she responded immediately with warmth and generosity. She offered to give it to me so it could be returned to Linda and her family.

So now we come full circle. Sure enough, one morning it was she who walked into the bookstore with the model cradled in her arms, and placed it gently on the counter. Lodestar had set sail on her return voyage, bound from Annapolis to Springfield, with stops in Easton and Tilghman.

I wondered at the chances in-volved, the stunning unlikelihood that I should ever get news of Lode-star again, let alone that she would be brought to me.

Later, with Lodestar safely in port, I could finally make that phone call to Springfield. Linda, of course, was thrilled with the news. But now, here is where you come in, Gentle Reader. Lodestar is laid up in dry-dock, needing repairs and rigging. Does anyone know of a ship modeler who would be willing to take on this project? My number is 410-886-2418.

Keep in mind that there’s a teen-age boy in Virginia, his eyes fixed on the horizon, waiting for his grandpa’s fine clipper ship to arrive ~ a vessel he has yet to see.

Tidewater Reviewby

Anne Stinson

The Music Lesson by Katha-rine Weber. Crown Publishers, Inc. 178 pp. $21. ISBN 0-609-60317-5.

Patricia Dolan, the fictional teller of this tale, is Irish-American. Her father, Pete Dolan, is a Boston police-man. Her great-great-grandfather, Michael Dolan, came to America in 1848 when the famine raged in Ireland; potatoes rotted in fields, and the options were leave or starve. When he died he was still raging against the damned English for stealing Ireland and refusing to help them be fed. His son and his son’s son followed the passionate hatred.

Pete, who raised his daughter after her mother died, is almost as vocifer-ous as his late father Paddy was. His talented supply of curses is routinely exercised in discussions with his friends, Irish cops at Foley’s, their favorite bar in Boston’s Southie. They all hated the Brits with a passion.

Unlike her dad and grandfather, Patricia was a quiet child whose mother died when Patricia was four years old. She spent many of her evenings on Pete’s lap at the bar absorbing reams of Irish lore, the

shame of the six counties turned over to the Brits, the damned Protestants in 1921 during “the troubles” and the villainy of Lloyd George, who was re-sponsible for not leaving a single bag of grain for bread so that one-third of the Irish people starved.

Pete’s ranting blamed “the British in Ireland, or the British in China, or the British in India, or the British in North America, or the British in

Africa. All through the Nixon admin-istration, my father could go on for hours blaming the British entirely for the war in Vietnam,” Patricia remembers.

When autumn came to Manhat-tan, Patricia was at work in the basement of the Frick Art Reference Library. At work she is as silent as a robot. It’s been three years since Katie, her five-year-old daughter, died in a school bus accident and her marriage to Sam melted away. She’s 41, too numbed to do more than her job.

That fall she has a surprise. A cousin from the old country comes to New York on business and looks

her up. He is a handsome 25-year-old from Ballytoe in County Cork. He’s amusing and generous, and by the second date they are lovers. His name is Michael Patrick O’Driscoll, but he’s called Mickey.

By Christmas they go to Boston, where Pete and Mickey get along famously. Pete thinks it’s a good idea for Patricia to take a sabbatical from her intense work on Dutch paint-ers of the Renaissance ~ especially Vermeer ~ and spend some time in Ireland. Mickey agrees, and by Janu-ary 1 she’s in an old cottage on a cliff, two miles from Ballytoe. Mickey will join her there.

Patricia has been drafted into a scheme without realizing its enor-mity. Her passion for Vermeer’s work is related to a plan to steal a

Vermeer painting called The Music Lesson. It has been on display at the Frick for a limited time, on loan from Buckingham Palace. By the time the Dutch painting show ends, it will be scheduled to return to its place at “Betty Windsor’s” house, as Mickey calls Queen Elizabeth.

Patricia knows all the routine for shipping art works, and designs a small box for the small painting’s theft. The crime goes off perfectly, and the painting arrives at the Irish cottage, snuggly tucked into a suit-case. Patricia loves looking at the beautiful girl’s face while she waits for Mickey.

Days pass, and it ’s rainy and

cold. She walks two miles to town for delicious scones made by a nosy old woman. She gets more of her groceries from a friendly shop and slogs through the cold mud on the way back. The mailman who delivers the suitcase is pleasant, and a worker repairing a power line interrupts his job to descend the pole and mumble that Mickey will be back today.

The palace has received the ran-som letter about the painting and refuses to pay, Mickey tells her. A new plan must be devised. Things become more dicey, and people begin to die suddenly. What’s going on?

Katharine Weber has created a plot with a powerful and tense unwinding, a twist that this reader never guessed until the final page

of this romantic, polit ical, and heart-rending tale. Her book is also a vivid look at the land, the stone cottages, the sounds of colonialism, and the pains of a proud, unforgiv-ing people.

If you’re Irish, it will make you want to go there. If you’re not Irish, you’ll still want to go there. I loved this book, and I think you will, too.

Kent County and Chestertown at a Glance

Kent County is a treasury of early American history. Its principal towns and back roads abound with beautiful old homes and historic landmarks.

The area was first explored by Captain John Smith in 1608. Kent County was founded in 1642 and named for the shire in England that was the home of many of Kent’s earliest colonists. When the first legislature assembled in 1649, Kent County was one of two counties in the colony, thus making it the oldest on the Eastern Shore. It extended from Kent Island to the present boundary.

The first settlement, New Yarmouth, thrived for a time and, until the founding of Chestertown, was the area’s economic, social and religious center.

Chestertown, the county seat, was founded in 1706 and served as a port of entry during colonial times. A town rich in history, its attractions include a blend of past and present. Its brick sidewalks and attractive antiques stores, restaurants and inns beckon all to wander through the historic district and enjoy homes and places with architecture ranging from the Georgian mansions of wealthy colonial merchants to the elaborate style of the Victorian era.

Second largest district of restored 18th-century homes in Maryland, Chestertown is also home to Washington College, the nation’s tenth oldest liberal arts college, founded in 1782. Washington College was also the only college that was given permission by George Washington for the use of his name, as well as given a personal donation of money.

The beauty of the Eastern Shore and its waterways, the opportunity for boating and recreation, the tranquility of a rural setting and the ambiance of living history offer both visitors and residents a variety of pleasing experiences. A wealth of events and local entertainment make a visit to Chestertown special at any time of the year.
