Spring 2017 3 OutLook FROM THE DESK For the Bay Boomer and Beyond... In this Spring 2017 issue, Ellen Moyer wrote an article for us Publisher and Tecla Emerson Murphy on trees. It arrived at our ofce shortly before Easter. Brilliant, I Editor-in-Chief [email protected] thought. Here’s a fun way to avoid an overload of candy stufed Managing Editor Mick Rood [email protected] in the baskets that the bunny leaves for the grandkids. And as Operations Manager Cynthia Rott Ellen suggests, this can be a lasting treat that comes with lots of [email protected] Art Director Emma Stultz benefts: Tey will clean our air and our water and provide shade [email protected] to cool us in the Summer heat. It’s all good! Marketing Representative Marguerite Guare [email protected] So of we went in search of an appropriate tree for each of the Columnists Dr. Jim David grandkids. First, we found a wonderful, well-stocked nursery about [email protected] an hour away in Taneytown. We called ahead and provided a list of Michael J. Dodd, MD [email protected] what we had in mind. Schott Nurseries is spread out over 100 acres, so Victoria Duncan [email protected] it was worth the call to have the order ready. From a list that we accessed on their Jessica L. Estes website, we chose one small, reasonably priced sapling for each child. Trees were ready [email protected] for our approval and pickup when we arrived. On Easter morning, along with the Ryan Helfenbein [email protected] tree, we included a note tied to a branch, where we had written what that particular Elyzabeth Marcussen [email protected] tree symbolized. Tis was not only fun, but an easy enough task thanks to Google. Henry S. Parker We started with Alex, who is college-bound and who possesses enviable tenacity [email protected] and strength, both in personality and physical prowess. He was given an oak, which Drs. Passaro and Wooddell www.WPDentalGroup.com at 6 feet already shows lots of promise. Te oak represents both wisdom and courage. Contributing Writers Joanne R. Alloway [email protected] It can survive just about anywhere. Patrick DeVane We found a sugar maple that was just beginning to leaf out for Juliet, as she [email protected] has not only incredible sweetness but has a very strong core. Maples are also very Karla Goodridge [email protected] adaptable and are associated with practicality. For Katie, an extraordinary athlete who Barbara Goyette [email protected] gives so freely of herself, we found a three-foot apple. Apple trees, as we all know, are Tricia Herban what legends are made of. [email protected] We hope Addie, a reader who can often be found curled up in a corner devouring Peggy Kiefer [email protected] a newly discovered title, will enjoy the willow. A fast-grower, it requires some clever Leah Lancione pruning now and again, which encourages proper branching. It should provide a [email protected] Kater Leatherman comfortable hideout in the trailing and protective branches. [email protected] Emerson is not only a gifted athlete, but has unusual artistic talent. We found a Kathryn Marchi [email protected] hazel, with its eye-catching network of branches. It’s said that the hazel represents Kathleen A. McCarthy creativity and honesty. Arborists have supposedly referred to the hazel as a wild child, [email protected] Neil Moran requiring pruning back now and again to keep it from getting too out of control. www.northcountrygardening.com For Jack we chose a linden, which represents power, peace, truth and protection. Ellen Moyer [email protected] It is associated with jurisprudence. It sees beyond appearances, values loyalty and has Nancy Patterson little regard for disharmony or laziness. Te linden is known for its orderly growth [email protected] habit. Terry Portis [email protected] Scudder – our recent graduate -- was given a persimmon. It’s a fast grower and if Nancy J. Schaaf [email protected] pruned, it must be done carefully. A persimmon remains dormant longer than most, Maureen Smith blossoming late in the season, which avoids late frosts. It requires little maintenance [email protected] when planted in an appropriate site. Properly seasoned, the wood resists warping. Louise Whiteside [email protected] Porter was delighted with his red maple, which is a relatively fast grower and Circulation Jack Hovey [email protected] tolerates a wide range of conditions. It’s stable and reliable and makes interesting Photographer R.C. Murphy changes with the seasons. Folklore says it has hidden wisdom. It’s also low maintenance. [email protected] What fun.
