Londonderry on the Tred Avon has two rare homeownership opportunities at its campus in Easton. Two Dogwood model cottages are currently available.

“This is a rare and exciting opportunity for active seniors on the Eastern Shore,” said Rachel Smith, Sales and Marketing Director. “Cottages are not often available and it’s a fantastic time to join the Londonderry community and get settled before the winter months.”

The Dogwood model has a starting square footage of 1,313 and features two bedrooms, two bathrooms and outdoor living space. Both available cottages have gas fireplaces and built-in bookshelves. The new owner of one of the cottages will also have the opportunity to choose new kitchen cabinets, countertops and appliances.

Londonderry is an intimate residential cooperative community for adults ages 62 and over located among 29 acres and 1,500 feet of waterfront shoreline on the Tred Avon River. Londonderry residents own their homes and receive all of the benefits of homeownership without the stress of maintenance and housekeeping. The community offers an engaging activities and events calendar, wellness and fitness classes, meal delivery, transportation off-campus and more.

For the past four years, Londonderry has been voted the best Retirement Living Community on the Eastern Shore and continues to make investments and improvements to its facilities and programs. Just last year, Londonderry completed construction on its new Clubhouse offering additional gathering and programming space for the entire community.

Prior to that she lived independently until age 102, when she went to live with her son Roger Parks and his wife for two years.

Enda, who was married to Guy Parks for 50 years, was a farm wife for most of her life. She worked in her later years in the cafeteria of St. Michaels Elementary School. After her husband died in 1981, she married Norris Coulby.

At Dixon House, Edna enjoys being active and involved. She knits, does puzzles and enjoys watching “The Price is Right” and “Jeopardy” on television. According to her son, she never misses a Dixon House outing on the bus.

For her birthday celebration, Dixon House had the Free and Easy Band play Edna’s favorite songs, while Mayor Robert Willey read a proclamation from the Town of Easton and guests enjoyed birthday cake.

Edna Parks has three children: Roger Parks, Kenny Parks and Eunice Roe. She also has seven grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and eight great-great- grandchildren.

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide will present an information session at the Talbot County Free Library, 100 W. Dover St., Easton on Friday, September 20 from 2-3:30 pm for persons interested in serving in its Mid-Shore tax preparation program for the coming tax season. No reservations required. This nationwide all-volunteer program, now in its 50^th year, offers free in-person federal and state tax preparation and assistance to anyone in the community, but especially those 50 and older who cannot afford a tax preparation service.

Tax-Aide volunteers come from all walks of life and prior tax experience, while helpful, is not required. After completing a series of local training sessions, each new volunteer will be paired with an experienced tax counselor and serve at one of the eight Mid-Shore sites: Easton, St. Michaels, Chestertown, Grasonville, Centreville, Denton, Federalsburg and Greensboro.

Volunteers have the opportunity to learn a new skill while helping neighbors address their tax obligations.

Questions about the Tax-Aide program can be directed to: [email protected].

Many children who are providing care for aging parents can find the task daunting. This is particularly the case if they are still working or recently retired and maintaining active schedules themselves.  Helping with transportation needs and home repairs can at times be overwhelming to the caregiver.

Maryland Community for Life℠ – Talbot offers options to aging adults and their family caregivers which can be lifesaving and provide the needed conveniences necessary in today’s busy society.  In particular, the transportation services can help aging adults stay active – offering trips to regular appointments like the hairdresser or barber, doctor’s offices, the grocery store, and the post office, as well as to important social engagements.

One local caregiver whose mother has taken advantage of  Maryland Community for Life℠ – Talbot remarks, “My mother would call and say, ‘I hate to bother you, but . . . ‘ I wanted to support her healthy engagement, but I couldn’t get my schedule and her schedule to mesh for her needs.”

Maryland Community for Life℠ – Talbot delivers key services in a cost-effective and supportive manner. Specifically, for a monthly fee, members receive basic home repair and maintenance by a community “Handyman,” a list of vetted contractors and contract review, transportation trips, as well as regular contact with a “Service Navigator” to help coordinate access to services and to assist with any needs that may arise.

Another caregiver adds, “Now my parents call me last, instead of first when something comes up and most of the time they can handle the arrangements by themselves  by calling the Service Navigator.”

Stacey Woodworth, Maryland Community for Life℠ – Talbot’s Service Navigator, helps members with transportation, home maintenance, and referrals to community services. Membership is open to individuals or households up to two people aged 65 and older who live in Talbot County. Core services are personalized to individual needs. Membership levels start as low as $48 a month, depending on the volume and frequency of services used. Members can switch to the next level of membership as the need arises. Volunteers are a key component of the organization’s success and help with home maintenance, transportation, and friendly visits. The organization’s volunteers are vetted by  Maryland Community for Life℠ – Talbot.

For members, the benefits are liberating. One member comments, “MD Community for Life-Talbot℠ has allowed us to remain independent and able to do things without having to bother our children who are busy with work and their own families.”

A family member adds about the benefits, “This program has given peace of mind to our family. Our mom never wants to bother anyone, and rarely asks for help. This program has given the help needed for repairs, transportation and more.”

Maryland Community for Life℠ – Talbot is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization operating as a component fund of the Mid-Shore Community Foundation. MD Community for Life℠—Talbot is located at 10 S. Hanson Street, Ste 18, in Easton, Maryland. Office hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Londonderry on the Tred Avon is proud to welcome Erica Hardeo as its new full-time Activities Coordinator.

Hardeo is responsible for planning both on-and off-campus activities and events for Londonderry residents, and has more than twenty years of experience working with active seniors.For the past seven years, she served as the Events Planner for an active 55+ community in central New Jersey before relocating to the Eastern Shore last August.

The Activities Coordinator role at Londonderry was previously held by a resident volunteer, Ms. Elaine Utley, who retired in the spring and is a past Londonderry board member and board president. To celebrate Utley’s retirement and eleven years of service as the Activities Coordinator, the community hosted “Elaine Utley” week that included a community BBQ in her honor and a trip for Utley and her family to the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC to see a production of “Hello Dolly!”

“While only at Londonderry for a short time, I love the strong sense of community I feel every day at work among the residents and the staff,” said Hardeo. “It is an honor to step into the very big shoes of Ms. Utley and I know the sense of community we all enjoy is thanks in part to her efforts to bring everyone together. She has made the Activities Department the heart of this community, and I look forward to building on her success and honoring her legacy.”

“Londonderry is proud to have Erica on our team and serving in this very important role in our community,” said Irma Toce, Londonderry CEO. “Erica’s professionalism and energy have made this a graceful, smooth and fun transition and I look forward to what she will bring to this role.”

Hardeo shares Londonderry’s holistic approach to wellness and believes that being engaged and participating in a variety of activities contributes to a person’s sense of belonging within their community. She is dedicated to supporting a high quality of life for all residents and helping them maintain an active lifestyle and spiritual wellbeing.

The opening of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in 1952 was the most significant event impacting the character, landscape and modern history of Maryland’s Eastern Shore.  For locals and visitors alike, the Bay Bridge has become part of life on the Shore, and its presence is most felt during the summer months while we all contend with the associated traffic. As our local and state officials begin to more seriously ponder adding a second bay crossing in Maryland, we can’t help but wonder, what life was like on the Eastern Shore before the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

To answer this question, we spoke with Margaret Sherman Bryan. Margaret was born in 1923 and grew up in the village of Claiborne, located near St. Michaels on the Eastern Bay.  Margaret’s father, B. Frank Sherman, was the General Manager of the Annapolis-Claiborne Ferry, which operated from 1919 – 1952 and carried as many as 1 million vehicles and 2 million passengers annually during its peak operation. Up until the opening of the Bay Bridge, the Ferry was the only way to cross the Bay in Maryland.

Claiborne was a ferry town and the majority of the residents worked for the ferry company. It was also home to one of the stops on the now defunct Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Railroad that would take passengers all the way to Ocean City. Claiborne was a hub of activity during Margaret’s youth. Visitors came from the Western Shore to vacation, and Eastern Shore residents took the ferry to travel to Annapolis and Baltimore for shopping in the big department stores and other outings. It was a one-and-a-half-hour ride to Annapolis and then another hour trip to Baltimore by car, trolley or bus. Margaret loved to ride the ferry with her father and keenly remembers being served the world’s best hot dogs and the world’s worst coffee on her trips across the Bay.

While not on today’s scale, Bay Hundred residents had to contend with “ferry traffic” and there was a time when two traffic lights were needed in St. Michaels to accommodate the influx of 75-80 cars each time the ferry docked.

Like today, the Eastern Shore was a tourist destination and visitors would come for the summer season and stay in hotels and boarding houses like the Wade’s Point Inn in McDaniel which is still in operation. Some would stay in Talbot County, and others would go on to the Maryland and Delaware beaches.

While growing up in Claiborne, Margaret and her younger sister attended a one-room school house and were later bussed to St. Michaels for high school where there were just 45 students in her graduating class. The village of Claiborne was a close-knit community and the children “made their own fun,” and rode their bikes, went swimming in the river, boated, sailed and went to the movies in St. Michaels to enjoy the air conditioning during the summer heat. The Miles River Yacht Club was the primary social center for Bay Hundred families.

Margaret attended the University of Maryland College Park and then married a local boy, Phillip Beverly “Bev” Bryan who also graduated from St. Michaels High School. He served in the United States Coast Guard’s Beach Patrol during WWII. After the war, they lived in Baltimore for two years before moving back home to the Eastern Shore to raise their family.

On July 30, 1952, the ferry made its last crossing with Margaret’s father at the helm, and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge opened bringing more visitors and development to the Eastern Shore.

Margaret had a front row seat to evolution of the modern Eastern Shore while raising her sons and working at local banks in the St. Michaels area over the next 35years.

When asked about the biggest changes she witnessed, Margaret says, she’s been struck by the growth of Easton and how much easier it is to travel around the Eastern Shore. When she was growing up in the Bay Hundred, it was easier to take the ferry to Annapolis or Baltimore to shop rather than travel to Easton.

Margaret also points to the continued role agriculture, tourism and the seafood industry play in the Eastern Shore’s economy, although she notes there are fewer farms from as in the decades past. She is also pleased that Eastern Shore communities have stayed true to their small-town roots and neighbors continue to look after each other.

Margaret and Bev lived in McDaniel along Harris Creek for many years, and Margaret remained in their home for 12 years following his death. She relocated to Londonderry in 2004 where she is currently working on her memoir to share with her family.

When asked about how Londonderry has grown and changed, she shared a memory of driving by the property that would become Londonderry during the early stages of construction. She remembers looking around and commenting to a friend, “Who would ever want to live here?”
