(ARA) - Holidays are a great time to celebrate traditions with family and friends, and every family has unique activities they love to observe year after year. You can incorporate new tradi-tions into the holidays to bring more memorable fun to your gatherings. Here are some sim-ple tips for creating meaningful new traditions that can bring joy to your holidays every year. * Organize a visit from San-ta. Encourage your family or friends to come over for a pot-luck breakfast or lunch. As the festivities get into full swing, in-vite Santa to join in the fun. Or-ganize goodie bags for children to take home from Santa. Dont forget to have a camera on hand to capture the childrens special

moments. * Build a gingerbread house with your family. Roll up your sleeves, start your oven and put your architecture skills to the test. Decorate the house with each family members favorite candies in all colors. Adorn the lawn with Archway Gingerbread Men, which can be easily decorated with icing and candy buttons. * Draw names and trade inexpensive gifts. You can turn this into a secret Santa ex-change, or for a little more fun and hilarity, turn the exchange into a white elephant party, where participants are allowed to steal inexpensive gifts from one another. Your party doesnt have to only involve your local

friends and family. Invite your friends from all over the country to participate in a gift exchange via Skype or email - its a great way to have something fun pop up in your mailbox over the hol-iday season. * Cookies are a part of many holiday traditions. In fact, a re-cent holiday survey conducted by Archway found that cookies are a part of more than 80 per-cent of respondents traditions each year. Incorporate cookies into new traditions by hosting a cookie exchange with your coworkers, neighbors, family members or friends. Use a mix of homemade and favorite Arch-way holiday cookies such as Bells and Stars, which are back by popular demand for the 2011

ho l iday season. * Give back to your community. Vol-unteer at a local soup kitchen. Sing holiday carols in nursing homes and senior centers. Orga-nize a food drive for your local food bank. Have young children go through their toys and pick one or two to donate to a local shelter. This will help children participate in the joy of giving. There are a lot of ways you and your family can help others. You might decide to do the same thing each year or come up with new ways to give back. * Create a video or online photo album. This tradition is especially poignant for families with loved ones who are away

for the season and unable to at-tend the family celebrations (for example, families with someone in the military). Set up a video camera and have everyone share a message for the absent loved one. Take lots of photos during your holiday celebrations and create a photo album online that can be accessed by those who are not present. Traditions help provide con-nection and predictability, which people - especially children - crave. And theyre a lot of fun. Just remember that whatever you decide to do, be sure to add your own flair and creativity to make the tradition truly one to remember.

Tell them, I saw it in The Islander Weekly! Thursday, November 24th, 2011 Page 3facebook.com/IslanderWeekly

A relatively little-known fact is that the first Thanksgiving that was observed by English settlers in America was in Virginia, on the James River, in 1619. The observance was called, a day of prayer. In 1621, English settlers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, celebrated a good harvest with the assistance of the native Wampa-noag Indians. The settlers modeled their Thanksgiving after the English harvest home festival which was a three-day harvest celebration. The Wampanoag Indians joined the 52 survivors out of the 101 who had ar-rived nearly a year before aboard the Mayflower for a celebration/feast. A celebration of harvest was nothing new to the Wampanoag Indians. The meal of the day consisted of roast duck, geese, clams, lobster, oysters, fish, Indian corn, dried berries, and stewed pumpkin. The feast lasted three days and included prayer, games, sports, singing, and dancing. In Plymouth, several years after 1621, war broke out between the Wampanoag Indians and the set-tlers. Indian wars scattered quickly toward the south and the west. Ul-timately, many Native Americans were forced from their homes. To-day, some Native Americans mourn Thanksgiving, while others continue to feast with their families, while still others hold special ceremonies of thanksgiving. Apparently those who mourn connect American Thanks-giving with the unfortunate, ordered relocation that many of the Native Americans had to endure later. Such a connection is unfortunate espe-

cially since the official Thanksgiving holiday as we know it did not come about until Abraham Lincoln issued the proclamation on October 2, 1863--more than 200 years after that combined celebration in 1621. Dur-ing the period 1622 to 1863, feasts of Thanksgiving and religious days of thanks were held on various dates in various locations. The proclamation came about as a result of the tenac-ity of one Sarah Josepha Hale who thought that all Americans should set aside one specific date for a thanks-giving celebration. She had written to every president for more than 20 years before Lincoln finally re-sponded. In 1871, Harpers Weekly Magazine ran a feature on turkey production and referred to turkey as, our Thanksgiving Bird. This hap-pened after years of campaigning by poultry producers to make turkey the main dish at Thanksgiving. Hence, another tradition was born! Unlike most of us today, back in the time of the Pilgrims, there were harvest festivals, but theirs were separate religious days that were set aside for giving thanks. Those days were revered days of prayer and fastings, not feastings. We tend to combine the two by special prayer services followed by a feast. Traditionally, many Americans per-form compassionate, much-needed assistance such as: inviting people to share our Thanksgiving meal; serving food at shelters, soup kitch-ens, or missions; collecting food for the poor; and generally sharing our many bounties.

There are two tidbits to remember at Thanksgiving: the President tradi-tionally pardons a turkey (a bird that has chicken-like feet--I figured we needed to describe the type of tur-key here) in order to assure that that particular bird does not end up on someones Thanksgiving table; and, Thanksgiving preceeds the biggest and wildest shopping day of the year. There are harvest festivals held around the world! American and Canadian Thanksgivings are mod-eled partly after the old English harvest home traditions. The an-cient Hebrew harvest festival called, Sukkot is celebrated annually at autumn around the world. Many African-Americans observe Kwan-zaa based on age-old African har-vest festivals. Throughout the world, people celebrate their most important or favorite crop. In Switzerland, they give thanks for onions. In France, they celebrate the grape. Through-out Asia, there are rice festivals. In Ghana, there is a yam festival. All of this talk about Thanksgiv-ing reminds me of one of my favor-ite dishes that tends to go well with Thanksgiving fare. Its called, Phil-Pas cranberry and peach preserves which is very simple to make and requires just four ingredients. Would you like the recipe? If so, e-mail me at: [email protected] or call me at 410-643-1482. We at the Islander Weekly are very thankful, especially for our read-ers, like you! Happy Thanksgiving.Review by: Barbara Davis, Islander Weekly contributor.

HELP THE

TURKEY ESCAPE

INTO THE

WOODS


(ARA) - From the moment your alarm clock rings, the race is on. Its a rush to get ready, a hurry to get to work and a hectic day at the office, all before the evening introduces its own laundry list of tasks. It can feel difficult -- if not impossi-ble -- to find time to care for yourself in the daily hustle and bustle, particularly during the holiday season. But at the same time, everyone wants to look good, feel good and be healthy. Theres truth in the idea that sometimes you need to put yourself first. Looking good and feel-ing good often go hand in hand, and being healthy follows closely afterward. By taking the time to tend to yourself, youll actually be doing a favor to your already busy schedule, says Boston area

dermatologist Dr. Jeffrey Dover. Incorporating self-preserving and time efficient activities into your everyday routine can keep you healthy both physically and mentally, which ultimately pro-motes an energetic lifestyle. Try working these tips into your day, during the holidays and into the new year, to help main-tain your look and support your lifestyle. * Take the extra steps. While there is increas-ing concern about people living sedentary life-styles, you can beat the trend. Its easy to make your day more active, and little things all add up in terms of calories burned and muscles used. Let the elevator doors close and opt for the stairs. Or, as you make your dash for coffee in the morning

or groceries in the evening, pass by the parking spots up front and choose one that will give your legs a stretch as you walk in. * Consider new ways to keep your shape. Sometimes, a healthy exercise regimen, whether its a yoga practice, dedicated visits to the gym or going for morning jogs, doesnt get all the work done. Even those who have a healthy lifestyle still find themselves fighting pesky muffin tops and spare tires, especially in the face of tempting holiday buffets filled with rich foods. If exercise cant budge them, a new treatment called CoolS-culpting might be able to. The body-sculpting treatment, developed by the doctors at the Well-man Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, which freezes and eliminates fat cells in a process called Cryoli-polysis, is an alternative to costly, invasive and time-consuming treatments, can be done over a lunch break and doesnt require subsequent treatments. In your busy life, taking advantage of treatments like CoolSculpting gives you the results you want without making a major impact on your schedule, Dover says. * Simplify your get-ready routine. If your medicine cabinet and counter are overfilled with products, its likely your schedule is, too. For both men and women, clearing out

the drawers and cabinets in the bathroom can make things easier to find, but replacing mul-tiple products with those that do double duty will also help cut down on time. The right haircut - one that requires a minimum of prod-uct, time and fuss - can make a difference for men and women alike, so let your stylist know that you want something low-maintenance. And just as a crowded bathroom counter can slow you down, so can a packed closet. Win-nowing down your wardrobe helps you make decisions faster. * Make your menu work. Its easy to rely on fast food that doesnt really do much for your wellbeing. Switching your menu options to in-clude whole and minimally-processed foods can not only help you keep your shape, but can also have health-boosting powers. Thats not to say that you have to cut out your favorites - just strike a balance that brings in more healthy foods that are richer in nutrients and which will sup-port your fitness and health goals. Finding ways to put more emphasis on looking and feeling great might seem like too big a challenge to tackle. But with incremen-tal adjustments to your lifestyle, like stream-lining your everyday schedule and body sculpting, you might find yourself living bet-ter than ever before.

As Ive said before I love our small town, aside from the amazing people we have tons of great, locally owned, stores. We have challenged our-selves in the past to shop locally for the holidays and it has been a wonderful experience. Here are five reasons that you should commit to shopping local this holiday season;1. You dont have to travel far.By shopping local you dont have to travel far and if youre lucky enough to have a town center like we do you can park once and hit all the stores. This is particularly nice if you have small children.2. You dont have to battle the lines at the mall.Shopping local means that you wont have to battle crowded malls and wait in long lines. You can spend your time exploring the store and thinking about the right gift, not standing in line.3. You can get help from the shop owners.Have you ever tried to get help finding a gift in a big box store? Theyre helpful if youre looking for something specific but not if you dont know what youre looking for. Small businesses own-

ers usually know their stock well and can help you choose the perfect gift, not just find it.

4. The money you spend stays in your community.When you spend money locally it stays local. That money goes back into the community in taxes, rent and in other ways that help keep your town or community thriving.5. You can find amazingly unique gifts.At small local shops you can find some great unique items that arent available at the big box stores. We have a local shop in town that sells amazing ceramics and other items made by local artisans. Some truly one of a kind creations. If you cant commit to spending your entire holiday budget locally, commit to just one day! Keepin it local has been designated December 10th as an exclusive day to shop, eat and buy in Queen Annes County. If we could all commit to at least one day of purchasing from local small businesses then we could really make a differ-ence in our communities. Happy shopping!

HAPPYTHANKSGIVING!


If theres one thing we love on the Eastern Shore, its spending time with family and friends, especially during the holidays. Whether you are dining at a relatives home on the Island or traveling out of town to spend the weekend with friends, bringing a hostess gift is always fitting. Deciding to bring an expression of your appreciation is the easy part, com-ing up with unique ideas can be a bit more challenging. The first thing to consider is the type of event; a formal holiday meal, cocktail party, casual gathering or over-night stay. If you are joining another household for a holiday meal, even if you are con-tributing to the menu, a more formal host-ess gift such as wine or flowers is fitting. Show how truly happy you are to be din-ing with your friends by making these traditional gifts special adding a wine-topper, wine-bag or vase that your hosts may use again. This year we have hand-picked a va-riety of wines for the holidays, says Jen-nifer DiDonato of The Winery in Chester. Sparkling wines pair well with cheese plates and appetizers, the reds with turkey, and ports for dessert. Our recently added 90+ Section is a great place to shop for gifts. All wines in this section have been rated at least 90 points by wine experts, ensuring guests that when they choose a wine from this section the recipient will really be pleased. For parties and casual gatherings con-sider something the hosts can enjoy after the party. Fun ideas that will remind them of the special occasion should reflect the hosts lifestyle and a bit of your person-ality too, says Jess Cromwell of Island Furniture Studio in Chester. A coastal themed cheese board with spreader or decorative bread basket can be used over

and over. Add some homemade muffins or cheese biscuits to the basket and now youve got something really special. For an overnight holiday with friends or family, food is always a welcome ad-dition. Pick out an attractive baker, pie-dish, serving or snack tray and fill it with goodies from your oven or a local bakery. According to the girls at Peace of Cake pastry shop in downtown Stevensville, cookies and brownies travel well and can fit into almost any size dish. Homemade pies smell delicious and fruit pies dont have to be refrigerated making transport easy. Not only will everyone enjoy the treats, your hosts will think of you every time they use the serving piece youve given them. If the host family includes kids, plan a gift that keeps them busy. Board games, playing cards especially themed ones, popcorn and movies are appreciated by everyone. Gourmet coffee can also be a welcome gift, especially after the late night of revelry. If you dont know your hosts that well, or you are traveling to another region of the country, incorporate a bit of your style or Chesapeake Bay style into the gift by shopping locally for hand-made and unique items. Many local busi-nesses, including Island Furniture Studio, will be participating in American Express Small Business Saturday on November 26. Shoppers spending $25 or more will get a $25 credit from American Express. Visit http://smallbusinesssaturday.com/ for details. Dont worry about budget, when it comes from the heart, a basket of homemade cookies is just as welcome as an expensive bottle of wine. Its the thought and effort that make the biggest impression.

TechnologyTECHTAlk

I was looking around on the in-ternet the other day and I stum-bled onto something that really looked incredible. In an attempt to catch up to its Android and iPhone competitors, Nokia dem-onstrated a prototype bendable cell phone at a recent consumer electronics exposition. Hold up Larry! What do you mean bendable? I really mean, BENDABLE. The vid-eo I watched on the internet was nothing short of amazing. But dude, why would anybody want a bendable cell phone? Well, Im not totally sure at this point, but here is how it works. The cell phone is made out of a very thin transparent mate-rial that allows it to morph, fold and bend. The electronic circuitry utilizes some-

thing called nanotechnology. NANO WHAT? It is called nanotechnology. I dont have a clue how it works, but it has to do with atoms and molecules. I am not a physicist, but I read about it and it be-came obvious that nanotechnology has many desirable properties. First, it can be used on thin, transparent materials. The circuits are amazingly mi-croscopic and go unnoticed on the material they are printed on. Millions of transistors can exist in a tiny space. It is self clean-ing, meaning it repels dirt, fingerprints and even water. And it can be solar friendly.

So, when technology catches up, it might be able to be powered by a light source. Yeah, but why would anybody want a bendable cell phone? The video I saw demonstrated how bending the device would cause the display to scroll to the left or right. And twisting it made the display zoom in and pan out. And then it demonstrated how it could communicate non-verbally when the user drew a ques-tion mark on the touch screen that the person on the other end saw. They claim it even detects emotions. So bending actu-ally became part of the functionality and operation of the cell phone. Then they showed another model that was made to wrap around ones wrist like a bracelet. Have you ever misplaced your cell phone? Just wrap this one around your wrist! Nokia hasnt announced a release date, but competitor Samsung is rumored to be releasing a bendable cell phone sometime in 2012. If Nokia wants to get back in the game, they need to get this rolling. And then I started thinking, what other devices might benefit from a thin transpar-ent material that can bend? A cell phone is maybe palm-sized, but what if this tech-

nology could be used for a large hi-def TV? Just roll that 60 inch widescreen up when youre finished watching and put it away! Or take it with you. Unfold that clear substance and turn on your new tab-let device. Sony has been investing in a technology called OLED. That stands for organic light emitting diode. In fact a lot of existing cell phones already uti-lize OLED technology for their displays. Thin, bendable displays are coming. Is that too far out there for you? Think again, the technology already exists to-day. Currently production costs prohibit selling to the consumer marketplace. But when the manufacturers figure out the mass production issues, prices will come down and what seems impossible will be commonplace. My description does not do this technology justice. There is a video on youtube.com that will amaze you. Search nokia human form and you will get a glimpse what will happen in the very near future. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Just remember, you are what you eat. Turkey! Larry Dent is the Owner of Chesapeake Home Theatre & Hi-Fi. This article was written for the Islander Weekly.

Maryland Marylandour

Somerset County

Author: Barbara Davis Islander Weekly Contributor

Somerset County says, Were real Chesapeake Country, three cen-turies of America and still fresh as the breeze off the Bay. Somer-set County is south of Wicomico County. The county seat is Prin-cess Anne, located north central within the County. The town of Princess Anne was created by an act of Marylands General Assem-

bly in 1733, and is home to many fine federal-style dwellings and 19th century Victorian houses. Princess Anne is also home of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, founded in 1886 to educate black men and women, and has undergone several name changes since its original formation. This is a very charming town that has the distinction of being on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980. Each May, there is a Princess Anne Street Fest (1-800-521-9189). This county has many historical places and other sites of interest that are far too nu-merous to list here. However, of special note is the Accohannock Indian Tribal Museum which features an authentic native American village at Bending Water Park that preserves and promotes the history, language, traditions, and culture of one of the oldest historical tribes in Maryland. The museum is located in Marion, Somerset County. Another espe-cially interesting must-see is the J. Millard Tawes Historical Museum that relates the story of our Chesapeake watermen and celebrates the life and culture of the waterfront town of Crisfield--first settled in 1633 and is one of the oldest communities in Maryland. Finally, there is Smith Island Center. Transportation to Smith Island is available from Crisfield. Smith Island is Marylands only inhabited off-shore island in the Chesapeake Bay. The is-land has three villages, and the Center is a heritage museum located in the village of Ewell which offers tourists a unique experience observing life on an island that has survived the elements since it was settled in the 1600s. There are many additional museums in Somer-set County that are well worth ones time to explore. Lets take a closer look at Smith Island, located 13 miles west of Crisfield between the Tangier Sound and the Chesapeake Bay. The uninhabited southern tip of the island is intersected by the Maryland/Virginia line. The residents are direct descendants of British colonists who first settled the island in the early 1700s. Even their speech represents a strong holdover of the Elizabethan/Cornwall dialect, due, perhaps, to the isolation of the island. Joshua Thomas established the Methodist Church on Smith Island as well as sev-eral other islands on the Chesapeake Bay during the late 1800s, and Methodism remains the only organized religion on the island today. Residents of the island have a reputation of being uniquely friendly people. Island towns are famous for growing fig trees and pear trees, mimosas, and pomegranates which all make for a sweet-scented, colorful springtime. Ewell is Smith Islands largest town and is sometimes referred to as the capital of Smith Island. Crabs caught by local watermen are sent to Crisfield to respond to worldwide markets. There are over 4,000 acres of marshland that are managed by a wildlife refuge; there are many fragile habitats in the marshes where visitation by tourists is discouraged. Smith Island is probably as unique for what it does NOT have as for what it DOES have. For example, on Smith Island, there are no sidewalks, beaches, convenience stores, boat rentals, movie theaters, liquor stores, bars, fast-food chains, boutiques, amusement parks, laundromats or taxi cabs (hmmm; my kind of place! :-)). There are three communities on Smith Island, each with a rustic, working harbor. The watermens work boats for oystering and crabbing are locally built. Private, picturesque, off-limits, wooden shanties along the harbors house family-owned soft crab shedding operations. Now, for dessert! The official Maryland dessert is Smith Island Cake. This cake is usu-ally ten layers, separated by an equal number of layers of sweet chocolate icing. The cake is sold at Crisfield and Salisbury. Valued readers of the Islander Weekly may obtain the recipe by e-mailing me at: [email protected] or call me at: 410-643-1482. Again, Ive barely scratched the surface of beautiful, unique, interesting Somerset County. For more information, please contact the Somerset County Tourism Center at ww.visitsomerset.com or e-mail at: [email protected] or telephone: 1-800-521-9189. My sincere thanks go to Julie M. Widdowson, Director, Somerset Tourism, at 11440 Ocean Highway, P.O. Box 243, Princess Anne, MD 21853, for her assisting me with information about Somerset County. Dont forget, next week we will make another super trek through Maryland our Maryland.
