New Pickleball Courts Open at Talbot County Community Center

by

The Talbot County Department of Parks and Recreation opened eight new pickleball courts at the Community Center in July.

The courts, located on the east side of the Community Center property, feature individually fenced-in playing surfaces. The construction project also includes new accessible paths and improved landscaping. The project was funded in part by the Local Parks and Playground Infrastructure grant issued by the State of Maryland. The Council approved the project in August of 2022.

“Picklers” or “Pickleballers” try out the new courts.

“We wanted to open the courts as soon as possible, but we do have a couple more items to add before the project is completed, including adding trash cans, picnic tables, signage, and additional landscaping” said Talbot Department of Parks and Recreation Director, Preston Peper. “In the future, we aim to add lights, water, and electric to increase playing time and facility capabilities.”

First Come, First Serve

The courts will be open to the public daily from dawn to dusk, on a first come, first serve basis, subject to private event closing. If courts are crowded, rules will be posted for rotation guidelines.  Bathrooms are available in the Community Center during normal business hours.

Reservations for Private Events

Talbot Parks and Recreation can provide information on reserving court space for private events. This option is great for tournaments, private lessons, workshops, or classes.

Classes and Workshops

Parks and Recreation will offer several classes and workshops throughout the year to give individuals a chance to learn the game of pickleball, or to up their game with advanced training.  Follow Talbot Parks and Recreation on Facebook and Instagram for upcoming classes and workshops.

“I know how excited some folks are about the new courts” said Council Member Dave Stepp, who also serves as the Council’s liaison to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. “Pickleball is a great activity for all ages, and having a public location to play will allow expanded access to our residents.”

The new facility features eight individually fenced-in playing surfaces.

The pickleball courts construction precedes another greatly anticipated project, the new gymnasium addition.

Scheduled to be completed in early 2024, the gymnasium addition will include two basketball courts, two volleyball courts, bathrooms, and storage space. Indoor pickleball courts will also be available.

The space will also be available for rent for a variety of events which could include athletic tournaments, college fairs, banquets, and weddings. The project is being funded by the County and Program Open Space.

For more information, please contact Parks and Recreation at [email protected] or 410-770-8050.

Festival of Trees Update

by

Calling all crafty decorators! Karla Wieland-Cherry (left) and Maire McCardle need you. Karla is the chairman of the 38th Annual Festival of Trees, presented by Friends of Hospice to benefit Talbot Hospice, and Maire is chairman of large tree decorators. Bring a favorite Christmas carol to life by decorating a tree in the Gold Ballroom of The Tidewater Inn during the Festival of Trees on November 25 through 28. Thanks goes to Chesapeake Blooms for the festive tree decorations, shown here.

Poinsettia co-chairmen Julie Andrew (left) and Leah Copper are ready to receive poinsettia order forms in memory of or in honor of a loved one or friend. Every November since 1984, Festival of Trees has been a festive occasion hosted by Friends of Hospice to raise critical funds for Talbot Hospice. As Christmas is a season for remembering, there will again be an opportunity for friends and family to remember their loved ones in a very special way by purchasing a poinsettia. The name of someone dear is placed on a Memory Scroll next to a stunning 12-foot poinsettia “tree” during the Festival of Trees in the Gold Ballroom at The Tidewater Inn in Easton. This year from November 25 through 28, the tree will be on display along with 100 beautifully decorated Christmas trees. Each poinsettia plant may then be picked up on November 29 from 9 and 11 a.m. to enjoy during the holiday season. Any not picked up will be donated to Hospice House and delivered to hospice patients. The poinsettias this year will be a variety of white, red, and pink, creating a Victorian setting in keeping with this year’s theme, “Caroling, Caroling through the Town.” Poinsettias may be purchased online at www.festival-of-trees.org by November 10.

Upper Shore Aging Receives $33,000 T‑Mobile Hometown Grant for Computer Upgrades

by

Upper Shore Aging was just awarded a $33,000 T-Mobile Hometown Grant to update the Talbot County Senior Center’s technology at the Brookletts Place computer lab, including 20 computer stations to provide the senior community with access to connectivity, classes, and hands-on learning opportunities. Brookletts Place is part of Upper Shore Aging, Inc., a nonprofit organization that is the designated Area Agency on Aging (USA) for Talbot, Caroline, and Kent counties.

T-Mobile has been investing in rural towns for over five years and to date, has distributed $9 million among 42 states for grant projects.  Projects supported have included upgrading and revitalizing community buildings to include bingo halls and libraries; installing free public Wi-Fi; creating a state-of-the-art open-air body weight exercise fitness court; restoring a water-damaged roof; and commissioning a mural to celebrate the people, their history, and honor their communities.

Walter Black, who was the Master of Ceremonies for the award ceremony at Brookletts Place, commented, “My wife Clairdean and I are both members of Brookletts Place and actively participate in many of the activities they sponsor.  I am also a member of Blake Blackston American Legion Post #77, which has been an ongoing financial supporter of this facility since the very beginning.  As you may not be aware, Brookletts Place is a part of the larger Upper Shore Aging’s network of support for our senior community.”

“This Center was dedicated in 2009 and has offered numerous educational opportunities, including computer classes at all levels.  Unfortunately, the computers are now outdated and can no longer be upgraded, so teaching classes has become a challenge for our instructor and they are not user-friendly for those who need to use the computer for themselves. This grant will replace not only the 16 computers and monitors in the computer lab but the computers for staff as well.”

L-R: Bill Shrieves, USA; Spencer Rosenberry, T-Mobile; Dontay Taylor. T-Mobile; Trystin Gearhart, T-Mobile; Childlene Brooks, Talbot County Senior Center at Brooketts; Andy Hollis, USA; Jennifer Acree, USA; Joel Adams, Easton Utilities; and Jamar Martin. T-Mobile

The initiative started in 2021 and is part of T-Mobile’s greater effort to connect rural areas and empower communities. T-Mobile awards up to 25 Hometown Grants each quarter with a population of 50,000 or less.

“T-Mobile’s Hometown Grants initiative shows big love for small towns, driving positive change in communities nationwide by funding $25 million in projects over a massive 5-year commitment,” said Dontay Taylor, the Rural Market Manager from T-Mobile.

“I want to thank everyone for coming to this celebration and I want to thank T-Mobile for selecting us. The Center is one of 25 grantees in the nation that received an award. We are blessed,” stated Childlene Brooks, Manager of the Talbot County Senior Center at Brookletts Place.

Andy Hollis, Executive Director of Upper Shore Aging added, “This is a senior center and also a community center. These computers in that computer lab are available for everyone in our community, not just for seniors. Make sure you get that word out. We want to make sure that we use this technology to the greatest extent possible.”

Jennifer Neal-Acree, Director of Senior Centers and Nutrition at USA, shared that the upgrades would not only benefit seniors at the Talbot County Senior Center but would enable other senior center attendees in other counties to come and learn as well.  Plus, according to Bill Shrieves, President of the Board of Directors at Upper Shore Aging, T-Mobile staff will also be available to help seniors with their cell phones.

“We are appreciative that T-Mobile chose to invest in the Talbot County Senior Center in the Town of Easton. As a recipient of a T-Mobile Hometown Grant, this will allow Upper Shore Aging to transform an outdated computer lab at Brookletts Place into a community space, where seniors and others can have computer class time and related internet access. This grant helps address the critical needs of broadband access in a rural community and is so very much needed. Like T-Mobile, Easton and Upper Shore Aging are in the business of connecting people, and because of this grant, we will be able to connect people in a new and exciting way,“ added Mayor Megan Cook.

CBMM Celebrates Inaugural Education Professionals Gratitude Day

by

Dozens of education professionals met critters living in CBMM’s oyster cages in the Miles River, grooved to live music, and enjoyed some sweet treats at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s first Education Professionals Gratitude Day last Friday.

Teachers, paraprofessionals, school and district administrators, and support staff were invited to spend a day by the water as guests of honor for the festivities.

“I live and grew up in this area, but we haven’t been to CBMM since my daughters were children,” said Michelle Smith, a second-grade teacher at White Marsh Elementary School. “I was so excited to come up here. We haven’t been here since they were little girls, and now they’re 21 and 23.”

The special guests stayed busy throughout the day, taking part in hands-on activities and exploring CBMM’s 18-acre campus.

A lighthouse enthusiast, Smith particularly enjoyed touring the Hooper Strait Lighthouse and learning more about the lighthouses of the Bay, while Jessica Kastel, an English Language Arts teacher at St. Michaels Middle High, brought her son Chance to CBMM for a day filled with relaxation and reminiscing.

“I’m just looking at how everything has changed since I was here in fifth grade,” Kastel said.

CBMM welcomes teachers from across Talbot County, the Eastern Shore, and beyond to campus on a daily basis during the school year.

Education Professionals Gratitude Day was born out of a desire to give back to these community leaders for their tireless work, compassion, and dedication. This year, the event was made possible by the generous support of CBMM’s community partners Easton Velocity, Mid-Atlantic Waste Systems, PNC Bank, and Shore United Bank.

“We were thrilled to welcome so many education professionals for this new event, recognizing all of the hard work they put in throughout the school year to support our PK-12 students” CBMM’s Vice President of Education & Interpretation Jill Ferris said. “We welcome education professionals all year on field trips, but Education Professionals Gratitude Day gave them a chance to start summer break with a relaxing visit to CBMM with their families and loved ones. With the support of our community partners, we look forward to continuing these efforts next year and beyond.”

Last week’s event was designed to celebrate everyone involved in education and attracted a wide range of attendees.

Makayla Moore is just getting started with her career in education. With some experience already under her belt, Moore is going to Chesapeake College to become a teacher.

“I really like working with kids and giving them a positive experience, especially with through the challenges presented by COVID, and showing them that they can do anything,” said Moore, who remembers participating in CBMM’s Lighthouse Overnight Adventure as a Girl Scout.

The festivities drew education professionals from across the region and as far away as San Francisco. That included plenty of guests who live and work on the Eastern Shore, and others, like Amy Higgins, who savored the opportunity to make a special trip here.

“I grew up in the area, and when I received the notice about the day today, I knew I wanted to come be a part of it,” said Higgins, a technical assistant for fine arts in the Howard County Public School System. “I grew up playing on these grounds. I feel like the chance to learn more about the Bay, and especially for our kids, is priceless.”

Council Hosts Work Session to Discuss Letters Received From Maryland Department of the Environment

by

The Talbot County Council held a work session on Tuesday, June 27th at 3:00 p.m. with staff and representatives from the Town of Trappe to discuss requests set forth in letters received from the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) regarding water and sewer in the Town of Trappe, and discuss how those matters intersect with the Draft 2023 Report of the Review. All council members were present.

“Before the County updates its Comprehensive Water and Sewer Plan (CWSP), we need to complete the 2023 Report of the Review,” Ray Clarke, County Engineer, explained. “This document provides a snapshot of where we are right now with regard to water and sewer service, and it is intended to include any updates to the CWSP amendments that were made through resolutions adopted since 2002.”

During this process, MDE sent two letters to the Council dated April 24, 2023, and May 9, 2023, specifically requesting the following information:

1)   Updated “equivalent dwelling units” (EDUs) for all phases of the Lakeside development;

2)   Updated Figures for water and sewer service in the Town of Trappe, with the corrected classifications for all the parcels within the Town of Trappe, including the Lakeside development; and

3)   A corrected Exhibit A/B (maps) from Resolution No. 281, as amended a new CWSP amendment to address parcels shown therein that were not part thereof.

Clarke provided details on how the County has worked to address MDE’s requests. He also provided a timeline of correspondence and demonstrated to the Council how the maps from the 2002 Report of the Review compare to the proposed maps for the 2023 Report of the Review.

The County Attorney, Patrick Thomas, stated that MDE did not direct the County to amend Resolution No. 281, as amended, or the Town’s water and sewer maps with respect to the parcels comprising the Lakeside development, as those parcels were specifically identified and properly mapped. The only parcels whose water and sewer classifications were amended by Resolution No. 281, as amended, were those specifically identified in its text.

This information has been provided to MDE along with maps showing the current water and sewer classifications for the entire Town of Trappe, as enacted pursuant to Resolution No. 100 and as amended pursuant to Resolution No. 259, as amended, and Resolution No. 281, as amended. The County is awaiting MDE’s formal response.

Mr. Thomas also stated that a resolution amending the CWSP to address the EDU/phasing issues as requested by MDE would be introduced at the Council’s July 11, 2023 meeting.

“Can we ask that the Town of Trappe provide a map that would show the phasing for the sake of clarity?” asked Council Vice President Lesher. “That phasing plan, along with the EDUs associated with each phase, would be responsive to the request from the state.”

Lyndsey Ryan, Town Attorney for the Town of Trappe, said the Town should be able to confirm the EDUs for all phases of the Lakeside development and provide a map depicting the same by July 1, 2023. This will allow the Council enough time to review for the July 11 meeting.

After the meeting, Council President Chuck Callahan mentioned that citizens should follow the process of updating the Comprehensive Water and Sewer Plan and provide feedback when appropriate.

The new Comprehensive Water and Sewer Plan, which will follow the 2023 Report of Review, will provide a complete picture of water and sewer access, and is tied to Talbot County’s Comprehensive Plan.

“The CWSP includes goals and objectives that are based on public discussion. It aims to improve or sustain the quality of life for all residents in Talbot County. It goes through a lengthy review process and requires approval from MDE when complete. Our Public Works Department and the Public Works Advisory Board will continue to work diligently on the report and subsequent CWSP amendments. The letters from MDE and subsequent responses will be part of that process.”

by

The eighth annual Chesapeake Children’s Book Festival (CCBF) took place on Saturday, June 24 at the Talbot County Free Library (TCFL), drawing in over 1800 people.

Patrons and visitors enjoyed a bevy of fun activities for the whole family including music, balloon animals, and even petting snakes and chicks.

For the past eight years, CCBF has evolved in an event that has not only been aimed towards children from this community, but also from across the state and the region. Roshaun Williams, of Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina brought her six-year-old nephew, Jayceon Gause, to explore the festival and everything it had to offer.

“I started Googling book festivals and the Chesapeake Children’s Book Festival came up. I thought that was a nice thing to be able to bring him to that is actually centered around something that he likes to do,” said Williams. “The best part of this festival is the book signings from the children’s authors that are here today. I plan to bring him again next year.”

Maryland Public Television (MPT) was a media partner during the festival. Funding was possible in part by grants from the Talbot County Council, the Talbot County Free Library Foundation, Friends of the Talbot County Free Library, Bay Imprint, Talbot Arts (with revenues provided by Maryland State Arts Council, and the governments of Talbot County, Easton, Oxford, and St. Michaels), and Stories of the Chesapeake*.

Partner organizations included Imagination Library of Talbot County (which celebrated their 10th Anniversary), Talbot Humane,  MPT, Judy Center, University of Maryland Extension – Master Gardeners, the Friends of the Talbot County Free Library, Choptank Health, ShoreRivers, Talbot 4H,  Pickering Creek Audubon Center, Talbot County Public Schools, and Flying Cloud Booksellers.

“During this event our community has united to offer books, authors, and illustrations, as well as more information about local organizations and the resources they have to offer,” said Scotti Oliver, Assistant Director of the Talbot County Free Library.

Authors that were in attendance included Mike Allegra, Gene Barretta, Darlene Beck Jacobson, Deborah Blumenthal, Ralph Blumenthal, Phaea Crede, Meg Eden Kuyatt, Salwa Elshazly, Claudia Friddell, Tracy C. Gold, Nancy Johnson James, Kathy MacMillan, Ann McCallum Staats, Frances Park, Ginger Park, Mary Quattlebaum, Jonathan Roth, Colleen Rowan Kosinski, June Smalls, Susan Stockdale, Nancy Tandon, Berrie Torgan-Randall, Joan Waites, Brian Wray, and Timothy Young.

Crede, a Boston native, was in attendance to do a reading of her book, “Super Pizza & Kid Kale,” and was so ecstatic to be at the festival.

“My story came from my four-year-old at the time, who had an idea of a piece of pizza wanting to be a superhero,” Crede said. “A couple of editors saw it and thought it would be best to also add a sidekick. I am so happy to be here. I did not know what to expect, but the community is incredible, the kids are amazing and there are so many readers here.”

Crede noted that events at a library hold a very dear place in her heart as an author.

Eglseder Wealth Management hosts 12th Annual Shred Fest

by

Eglseder Wealth Management Group, Inc. hosted its 12th Annual Shredding event on Wednesday, May 10th. A record-breaking 9,135 lbs. of paper was shredded for attendees, keeping private information out of the hands of potential identity thieves.

More than 150 participants watched as their documents were shredded by All-Shred shredding service. Easton’s very own “crossing guard,” Charles “Nut” Jenkins, was there to direct traffic as Eglseder Wealth Management Group’s staff helped unload documents from vehicles and handed out free gift bags to each group of participants.

Eglseder Wealth Management Group recently hosted its 12th Annual Shredding event at its offices on Commerce Drive in Easton.

Shred Fest guests enjoyed complimentary doughnuts, muffins, yogurt, fruit, and coffee while they perused 19 interesting and informative vendor booths. Vendors included Avery Hall Insurance Group, BSC Group, Cardinal Construction LLC, Caronna Estate Sales, Full Circle Travel, Home Instead, Junior Achievement, Maryland Health Connections, The Chesapeake Bay Oyster Reef Recovery Initiative, Partners in Care, Private Sitters Caring Caregivers, The Small Agency, Talbot County Department of Emergency Services, Talbot County Health Department, Talbot Humane Society, Talbot Mentors, Talbot Senior Center, and Wye Oak Mobile Repair.

Grills on Wheels, owned and operated by Mr. Butch Frase, was on hand providing pit beef, turkey, chips, and soft drinks for sale. As a result, more than $550 in proceeds from the BBQ sale were donated to Operation Christmas Spirit, which is a project of the Easton Rotary Youth and Community Fund for the Sheldon Scott initiative. The Rotary Club is currently chaired by Lonnie Green. This amount was added to Eglseder Wealth Management Group’s fundraising efforts from last November, which helped raise nearly $20,000 for Operation Christmas Spirit.

The 12th Annual Shredding Event included free antique appraisals by Charlene Upham Antiques and appraisals of jewelry, art, and decorative items.

Some attendees brought family heirlooms, and rather than seeking monetary value, they were able to establish the date of origin and/or country of origin of the object in question, which helped attendees determine who in their family lineage may have acquired the object.

Gary Gerhardt, owner of Yard Works Plus, LLC, donated one of his dumpsters for the day to dispose of cardboard boxes that could not be shredded.

Grills on Wheels owner and operator Butch Frase, right, and Jason Frase were on hand at Eglseder Wealth Management Group’s recent Shred Fest selling pit beef, turkey, chips, and soft drinks.
