About the Cover

COMMUNITY IS OUR GOAL

2020 reinforced the importance of relationships. As a Chamber we learned quickly that our goal for 2021 is Community and supporting each other. Our cover photo collage features some highlights from Cecil County community including the brand new North East Library, Christiana Care/Union Hospital, restaurants, small business, arts, equestrian, and technology. The cover photos were provided by our community partners or taken by Chamber member, Nick Cusmano, “Snippets of Life Photography”. We are excited for the opportunities in 2021 for continued growth and success in our community. We celebrate the collaborative efforts of our business community as we move forward making a positive impact.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Cecil County Chamber of Commerce, I am excited to welcome you to our annual Community Guide and Business Directory. On the heels of a year like no other, our business community and the strength of our people are shining, brighter than ever before.

While every business has been impacted by the events of 2020, your chamber rose to the challenges and moved adroitly to provide updates, opportunities and support, in ways none of us could have imagined a year ago. The chamber finished 2020 in a strong financial position, ensuring our work will continue well into the future. In spite of not being able to conduct in person meetings, we grew deeper in our relationships with the businesses we serve, and we all learned we can rely on one another when times are hard.

Our commitment to advocating for the needs of our business community with local and legislative officials has taken on new importance during these precarious times. Grants, payroll protection, small business relief and more, will continue to be prominent in our efforts to

2020-2021 CHAMBER EVENTS

Community is our Goal

When the 2020 pandemic began, although we could not host in-person events, the Chamber continued to be the source to connect businesses in Cecil County. We continuously provided members with places to go for financial assistance and began offering virtual programs so that members “still felt part of society”.

Going into 2021-2022 the Chamber will continue to offer both virtual and in-person events when possible. We look forward to continuing our virtual events that give members the opportunity to still connect and be informed, and in-person events such as our Annual Golf Tournament and Business by the Bonfire.

Join Us! Visit cecilchamber.com for details.

History of Chamberthe Supporting Local Business for Over Three Decades

In the 1920s, chambers of commerce were established to serve as economic development entities, helping businesses grow, supporting an educated workforce, establishing practices for workforce development, and steering business-friendly legislation.

The Cecil County Chamber of Commerce began as a subsidiary of the New Castle County Chamber in Delaware. It was formed primarily as an outlet for the New Castle Chamber’s insurance sales program in Maryland.

In 1987, the Board of Directors of the Cecil County Chamber voted to declare independence from the New Castle County Chamber, and a part-time Executive Director was hired. On January 1, 1988, the Cecil County Chamber became a completely autonomous entity.

Through the efforts of several influential Cecil County citizens, a capital campaign was organized. Approximately $30,000 was donated by local government and businesses. These monies, along with the charter members’ initial dues investments, enabled the Chamber to survive for the first couple of years, while becoming established and developing its own programs and fundraising activities.

Today the Chamber’s membership is approaching 500. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of local business representatives. Two full time employees perform the day-to-day responsibilities. In 2017 the Chamber was named a “Most Small Business Friendly Chamber” by the Maryland Small Business Administration. Cecil County’s local business community has needs and interests similar to those who were served by the very first chambers of commerce nearly a century ago. The Board, staff and volunteers of the Cecil County Chamber of Commerce are committed to meeting those needs and helping our member businesses grow and prosper.

Wynn Development Consultants

By Marcella Peyre-Ferry Contributing Writer

Wynn Development Consultants’ (WDC) goal is to create high-performing people and teams through dynamic and engaging training and coaching.

WDC provides group training and coaching, which can be facilitated virtually or in person. Wynn’s goal is to help businesses create an environment where their employees can thrive and drive success for the organization. Professional development not only increases employee’s skills, but it also builds employee engagement and increases job satisfaction. “When we have happier people, we have productive people, and that grows your business and ultimately your bottom line,” Coach Fonda Wynn said.

WDC also provides both professional and personal development coaching to help people realize their goals and reach their fullest potential.

“Coaching is about self-satisfaction and self-fulfillment. Coaching helps people become the person they were destined to be,” Wynn said. According to the International Coach Federation (ICF) and the Human Capital Institute (HCI), 62 percent of employees in organizations that receive coaching as a regular part of their development rated themselves as highly engaged.

Wynn is a certified administrator for the DISC and 360° Leadership Assessments. The DISC (Dominant, Influencing, Steadiness and Concise) Assessment helps people identify their communication style as well as those of others and learn more effective ways to handle conflict and personality clashes. It also helps people identify their strengths and the strengths of others to build stronger relationships.

The 360° Leadership Assessment is designed to help leaders understand their leadership style. The assessment provides feedback from the participant, his/her peers, direct reports, and customers to provide a full view of critical leadership competencies essential to

effectively lead a team to success.

Fonda Wynn created Wynn Development Consultants 10 years ago, after relocating from New Jersey to Maryland. She decided to leverage her strengths and create a platform where she could help people reach high performance. She is a highly skilled and engaging facilitator and coach, able to adapt to different learning styles and make people want to learn more. She has worked with many businesses across many industries, including Volunteers of America, Towson University, Head Start, Maryland Transit Administration, and the Department of Housing & Community Development.

Prior to the pandemic, Wynn’s services were primarily provided in person. WDC has moved to providing many services virtually and has remained just as effective. In fact, as businesses move into recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, team-building, and coaching is just what is needed to revitalize staff and management.

“Especially as people are making that transition, I think it’s really important to have that development piece,” Wynn said. “There are going to be some differences. We have to think about transitioning people effectively.” To learn more, visit the website at www.wynnconsultants. com.

WELCOME TO CECIL COUNTY

Steeped in History, rich in Natural Resources, full of Promise

Beautiful Cecil County is tucked along the upper banks of the Chesapeake Bay, midway between Philadelphia and Baltimore. Two hundred miles of shoreline, open space, eight incorporated and inviting towns, and wonderful rural attractions make Cecil County a great place to spend a day…or a lifetime.

Neighborly communities offer a unique character and fascinating history, as well as youth sports teams, family friendly events, a community hospital, volunteer opportunities, and wonderful outdoor recreation.

Cecil County’s scenery is frequently sought after by nature photographers, and locally owned, award-winning restaurants make Cecil County a favorite choice as a dining destination.

It’s Cecil County’s unique charisma and eclectic mix that make it a wonderful destination for residents and visitors, as well as companies who consider “quality of life” to be important for their employees.

Cecil County’s location on Interstate 95 provides easy access to the Mid-Atlantic region, as well as to BWI and Philadelphia airports. While being located in the midst of a heavily populated corridor, the County offers an oasis of green, with 15,000 acres of pristine parkland and special charm. The views are spectacular, and its personality is enchanting.

The eight incorporated municipalities within Cecil County are Cecilton, Charlestown, Chesapeake City, Elkton, North East, Perryville, Port Deposit and Rising Sun.

A Message from our County Executive

Happy New Year! As we usher in 2021, it is important to look back at the success from the previous year and set goals for the future. Although 2020 was a difficult year for many of us, I am proud of the way that the Cecil County business community used innovative measures to keep Cecil open for business while also protecting public health. I applaud the Cecil County Chamber of Commerce for their support of businesses, both large and small, during these difficult times.

As the new Cecil County Executive, I am grateful for the longstanding relationship between Cecil County Government and the Chamber. I look forward to working with the Chamber in 2021 to support all businesses in our community, whether they be small businesses thriving on one of our many vibrant Main Streets, commercial and industrial businesses taking advantage of our highly skilled workforce, or a growing agribusiness helping keep Cecil County on the forefront of modern farming techniques and preserving our rural culture. I am excited to work with our businesses, community partners, and State and Federal government to chart

a path of certainty as we battle the Coronavirus Pandemic. While these may be uncertain times, I believe that Cecil County’s best is yet to come.

I encourage all businesses to use Cecil County Government as a resource. The Cecil County Office of Economic Development offers workforce training programs, a streamlined site development and approval process, low-interest loan programs, micro-grants, and more to help grow your business. Please visit www.cecilbusiness.org for additional information.

It is my goal to be able to continue the diversification and growth of Cecil County’s economy, while also maintaining the County’s rural beauty that makes it the region’s top scenic destination to be enjoyed by all. Never hesitate to reach out to me, or a member of my staff, if you ever need assistance from Cecil County Government.

LOCATION AND TRANSPORTATION

Strategic Access to Key Markets

Cecil County’s desirable Mid-Atlantic location on the Interstate 95 I-95 corridor in northeastern Maryland has made it one of the region’s most sought after business locations. Situated midway between the metropolitan areas of Baltimore and Philadelphia, Cecil County’s strategic location offers businesses overnight access to markets in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia and Washington, DC. Cecil County’s well-developed transportation system offers easy access via land, rail and water.

On November 14, 1963, President John F. Kennedy came to Cecil County to dedicate the area’s first modern-day toll road. Today I-95, along with US Route 40, supports the Growth Corridor. Three interchanges Perryville, North East and Elkton provide direct access for each of the County’s eight commercial industrial parks.

Main lines for CSX and Norfolk Southern railroads, plus Amtrak commuter lines, provide vital rail transportation linkages.

The Chesapeake and Delaware (C&D) Canal provides easy connections to the Chesapeake Bay and the Port of Baltimore for both commercial transport and leisure travel. Millions of tons of cargo are transported through the Canal annually. The US Army Corps of Engineers project office

is located in Chesapeake City, along with the C&D Canal Museum and the Bethel Bridge Lighthouse.

Scheduled air service is available one hour south of Cecil County on I-95 at the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport BWI, and 45 minutes to the north on I-95 at the Philadelphia International Airport PHL. Air service is also available at the New Castle Airport in nearby Wilmington, DE. Claremont Airport Cecil County Airport, south of the town of Elkton, has a 2,600 foot runway.

Clene Nanomedicine, Inc.

By Marcella Peyre-Ferry Contributing Writer

In November 2020, Gov. Larry Hogan selected Clene Nanomedicine, Inc. (Clene) as one of Maryland’s Future 20, a list of innovative startups from various industries that have the potential to be the state’s next major business success stories.

North East, Maryland is home to Clene. With corporate headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, the company currently employs about 50 scientists, engineers and manufacturing associates at its Maryland site in Pricipio Industrial Park. That number of employees will more than double by 2022 as Clene is adding more clean-room manufacturing capacity in a new 100,000-square-foot.building this year.

Clene has a new vision for a pharmaceutical future using therapeutic nanocatalysts to improve cellular bioenergetics.

The science behind Clene’s products was born in the brains of resident Marylanders combining insights from the fields of cell biology, solid state physics and materials science. Clene has pioneered the development of Clean Surfaced Nanocrystal (CSN) therapeutics, opening the possibility of significant clinical benefits in neurodegenerative diseases previously considered intractable to treatment.

Expanded research and development in this area is desperately needed. The World Health Organization predicts neurodegenerative diseases will become the second-most prevalent cause of death within the next 20 years. This includes Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease and ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). CSN therapeutics offers unprecedented potential for significant benefits to those suffering with these diseases. The company’s lead candidate, CNM-AU8 uses orally administered gold nanocrystals suspended in water to

amplify bioenergetic reactions in patients that ultimately drive intracellular biological reactions.

Clene is currently pursuing FDA-approved human trials for a first-in-class remyelination solution for Multiple Sclerosis. Clene is also pursuing FDA-approved human trials for Parkinson’s Disease and ALS.

Clene’s CNM-Au8 was chosen as one of the first three drug regimens in the HEALEY ALS Platform Trial, being conducted by the M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts General Hospital (Harvard). This is the first-ever platform trial for the treatment of ALS. It includes substantial financial support and provides access to 54 expert ALS clinical trial sites across the United States.

Clene is hoping to show in humans exactly what has already been shown in animals, and that is an ability to promote neuronal repair, neural protection and remyelination. When the clinical studies wrap up, it is Clene’s hope to prove that CNM-Au8 can potentially reverse disease for patients with ALS, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Disease.

Despite having to close their doors due to the pandemic, the Cecil County Public Library system has continued to reach the residents of Cecil County, through innovation, a dedicated staff and a commitment to its core mission

A virtual library system for a virtual community

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer

AsCecil County rolled into March last year and everyone’s world from Rising Sun to Perryville to Earleville to Georgetown dramatically changed nearly overnight, the value statement for the Cecil County Public Library system did not budge.

In fact, over the entirety of the COVID-19 pandemic, the values listed in the statement -- Champion Reading, Build Knowledge and Inspire Curiosity -- have gotten broader and stronger.

Despite the fact that the system’s seven branches in Cecilton, Chesapeake City, Elkton, North East, Perryville, Port Deposit and Rising Sun not fully open, county residents who hold a library card can still read an ebook or a magazine, download a movie, track down material and resources for school, study for an upcoming exam, take an online course, learn a new language, attend a lecture and continue to rely on their local library for access to the information they need.

All day and every day.

So the question is this: How has a multi-layered, county-wide agency that serves the 100,000 residents of Cecil County managed to not only continue to reach the public, but thrive in the process, without so much as opening one door of its seven branches?

The answer, said Cecil County Public Library Executive Director Morgan Miller, has been through innovative strategies, the commitment of a dedicated staff and by clinging to the principles of its mission statement. It all began on March 12, when the library system closed it seven branches.

Continued on next page

The library’s Bookmobile traveled around the county last summer to offer all rising CCPS sixth-graders the opportunity to select and keep three books.

Cecil County Public Library

“At the time, none of us had any eye toward what the future held, but as a result of having to reframe and reshift our strategy, we have learned to navigate through dramatic changes, and yet keep these strategies intact with the library’s core values, one of which is responsiveness to our community,” Miller said. “In the first few months of the pandemic, while our buildings were closed, our shift was how we were going to continue to provide information, only virtually and develop new platforms of communication.”

Through their efforts, the CCPL has preserved – and even strengthened – the pipeline of resources and information to Cecil County.

• Through applications like OverDrive, Libby, Hoopla, CCPL users can borrow as many as ten items at a time – all online.

• Lynda.com provides users with unlimited access to thousands of video courses led by industry leaders.

• Gale Courses open the door to users who wish to attend six-week online courses taught by expert instructors.

• Mango Languages bring the world to a home computer by providing users with self-paced language courses that introduce the learner to cultural insights and grammar specific to their language of choice, delivered through native speaker dialogue.

• The library system’s Testing & Education Reference Center helps students in high school and college prepare for higher education.

• The Learning Express Library includes tutorials and practice tests which will help you prepare for a wide variety of tests.

• Through the library’s HelpNow, students from kindergarten through college, as well as adult learners, job seekers and veterans can connect with tutors who can provide assistance with homework, skill-building and writing. JobNow provides live job assistance, including up-to-date nation-wide and local job search engines, professional resume critique, and proven interview techniques. VetNow helps veterans and their families connect with an expert to learn more about eligible VA benefits, community resources and job coaching and assistance.

• The library offers the opportunity for new users to receive an Online Card, giving them instant access to library resources, classes and digital streaming and downloads.

• The CCPL offers contactless pickup and printing services at its locations in Cecilton, Chesapeake City, Elkton, Perryville and Rising Sun.

• In a county where reliable internet access is not always available, the library extended strong WiFi signals into the parking lots of all branch locations.

• In partnership with Cecil County Public Schools, students and educators can use their school ID to access CCPL resources and materials.

• Through regular Zoom meetings with businesses and non-profit organizations, the CCPL’s Business Information Center has been able to help these agencies create online models that have effectively enabled them to continue to function and succeed during COVID-19.

• In conjunction with summer reading programs like Students Progress and Read with reading Kits (SPARK), the CCPL’s Bookmobile, traveled around the county last summer to offer all rising sixth-graders the opportunity to select and keep three books. The bookmobile is now a mobile hot spot to deliver technology to disconnected communities

• In partnership with Cecil County Parks and Recreation, CCPL installed the county’s first Story Trail at Calvert Regional Park and will install a second Story Trail at Brantwood Park. Families can read a story as they hop, skip, jump, or run to find the next page and enjoy fun learning activities along the way.

• Last fall, the CCPL began to offer “Activities to Go,” take-home learning kits for children, teens and families.

‘In the emergency of the situation’

“We have attempted to pull our users into our digital

spaces at warp speed,” Miller said. “Over the past decade, libraries have begun to re-imagine their physical and virtual spaces, and the pandemic has accelerated that direction. In the emergency of the situation, we developed services and initiatives that we had been discussing for quite some time.

“In the past, we would have taken months to create these new platforms, and now we’re doing it practically overnight, and that has allowed us to trust ourselves more as an organization.”

The work that Miller and the CCPL staff have been doing during the pandemic has been woven into a five-phase punch list of progression that ultimately will lead to the last phase – the projected reopening of its branches in 2021.

Every Friday afternoon, Miller conducts what she refers to as “Friday Forum,” an informal exchange of ideas and status reports among CCPL branches. From her computer screen, she sees several reflections of herself peering back at her – a large team of dedicated professionals working to push the message of the Cecil County Public Library forward during the worst pandemic the world has seen in 100 years.

“I am very realistic about where we are right now, and I don’t have all of the answers, but through the guidance and the information we are working with, we are making the decisions in the best interests of the community and the organization,” she said.

In addition to the reopening of its branches county-wide, Continued on page 29

Cecil County Public Library

the community has its eyes on one grand opening, in particular, the new North East Branch Library. The new North East Branch Library ushers in a new level of access, experience, and opportunity for the entire community. Centrally located in the North East Station Shopping Center, it is within walking distance of the town of North East and just minutes from the county’s many scenic waterways and I-95.

On the first floor, adults will discover new books, enjoy the peace of reading and study rooms, and build in-demand skills in the Digital Media Lab. In the groundbreaking Business Commons, local entrepreneurs will benefit from customized support and high-tech workspaces.

The entire second floor is dedicated to providing families and youth with the tools to achieve lifelong success. Created with significant support from the Friends Foundation of CCPL through their Raising the 21st Century Child campaign, it will be home to extensive book and resource collections, an early literacy center and storytime room, multiple tutoring and homework rooms, family gathering space, technology labs and interactive STEM features. Designed and developed with wide community input and support, the project was awarded approximately $4 million in state construction grants, as well as a state matching bond. Many sustainable features have been incorporated into the library’s infrastructure, including an energy-reducing rooftop solar array and electric vehicle chargers.

A few years ago, during the ceremony to announce the construction of the North East Library – which will open in the spring of 2021 – Miller was quoted in an interview. Miller has access to expert guidance – she is both the Vice Chair of Christiana Care at Union Hospital’s board and the President of the Maryland Library Association, working with libraries across the state to navigate the pandemic.

In an interview last year, Miller recalls, “I said, ‘Think of a library as less of a noun and more as a verb,’” she said. “At the time I first said it, I wasn’t aware of just how precious its meaning would become. Libraries have always had the need to meet the people where they are, and in this pandemic, we have been shifting our model to do that more. People are starting to look at libraries as community gathering spaces, as opposed to buildings that just house books.

While there is a natural bereavement about leaving parts of that old life behind, this new model isn’t just about a pandemic.

“The world is being redrawn before us, and we are a part of that history.”

Eclectic Charm, Scenic Beauty, Rich History

Cecilton

Cecilton owes its existence to August Herman, an immigrant to America in 1633 and subject of heroic legend. He was the builder and first Lord of Bohemia Manor. Herman made several attempts to establish a town named for his friend Cecilius Calvert in lower Cecil County, but, uncharacteristically, he was not successful. Several generations later, a descendant again took up the task and founded a town that survived. That was Cecilton, incorporated in 1864. Located between the Bohemia and Sassafras Rivers, which attract a great deal of seasonal tourism to the town, it is centered at the largest crossroads south of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. Cecilton is the hub of community, public facilities and services offered in lower Cecil County. The town continues to provide a hometown look and feel even though it is within close proximity to a growing region. Individuals can enjoy services, benefits and amenities of traditional urban services, but in the middle of the beauty, peacefulness and quiet countryside of rural life. The town is surrounded by farmland that is an important component of its history and economy, much of which has been placed in agricultural preservation programs, ensuring that the town will maintain its rural character. Cecilton is a small town offering something for everyone, with

a strong commitment to preserving a high quality of life in a quiet residential community that is without a doubt “The Way Life Should Be.”

Located where the North East River meets the Chesapeake Bay, Charlestown was an active shipping center in its early days. In 1742 the colonial village became the first incorporated town in Cecil County, and briefly served as the County seat. Although today Charlestown is peaceful and primarily residential, you’ll also find marinas, growing businesses, several restored colonial structures, and a wharf that’s quite a popular place to cast a line and catch a fish. And what a view year round!

Chesapeake City

Once known as the “Village of Bohemia,” Chesapeake City was incorporated in 1839 shortly after the construction and opening of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal. Today it is the only town in Maryland situated on a working commercial canal. Most of its interesting 19th-century architecture remains intact, and the historic area on the south bank is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Chesapeake City is a destination town widely known for its unique inland view of ocean-going vessels, proudly preserved and displayed reminders of its history, and friendly hospitality.

Travelers discover fine dining, picturesque stores, art galleries, outdoor concerts, seasonal events, bed

& breakfasts, hiking/bicycling trails, and an outstanding museum showcasing the history of the Canal. From its origin as a rough and rowdy boomtown, through an era of dispiriting depression, Chesapeake City has emerged as a charming and interesting place to live and visit. Chesapeake City is truly the “Hidden Treasure of the Chesapeake”.

Elkton is located on the colonial highway of America. Our country’s forefathers navigated its waterways and traveled its roads when heading north to Philadelphia, or south to Virginia. Once known as Head of Elk named by Captain John Smith, it sits at the northern headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay. Elkton played a significant role in both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Many of the town’s beautiful colonial structures remain today, surrounded by buildings that reflect an active business community. The once infamous “marriage capital” has developed into a thriving economic arena for service and retail industries, several large manufacturers, and Union Hospital. Office buildings, courthouses, the hospital, and retail establishments share space with history in Elkton, which has been the County seat since 1787. Elkton is proud to represent Cecil County with Maryland Main Street and Arts and Entertainment District designations.

North East

The North East River played a significant role in the early years of this town. Mills were built along its shores, farms prospered, and local fishermen found the area to be rich in stock. One of its churches, St. Mary Anne’s Episcopal Church, dates back to the early 1700s, and has one of the oldest graveyards in the state. Today the neighborly town enjoys a charming renovation and is a tourist destination for visitors who like regional foods, boating, history, and antiques and collectibles shopping. A few miles south of town is Elk Neck State Park, surrounded on three sides by water with a breathtaking view next to the Turkey Point Light House.

Port Deposit

Historic Port Deposit is nestled between a granite cliff and the banks of the Susquehanna River. The tiny village was a place where men made fortunes in granite quarrying and shipping sellable goods on arks and rafts from the “port of deposit” on the waterfront. Fishing was also a big industry with a plentiful supply of shad and rockfish. Port Deposit is a well-preserved, historic, mid-nineteenth century, industrial town, and the architecture is evidence of the artistry and craftsmanship of the period. The commercial waterfront has been replaced with a vibrant residential community, Marina Park, and a Visitor Center in the restored historic Jacob Tome Gas House that includes a Northern Map Turtle habitat and education center. Come to our town to enjoy boating, fishing, a stroll along the scenic waterfront promenade, and step back in time along historic Main Street to visit our great restaurants and shops.

Rising Sun

Rising Sun got its unique name from an old tavern located in the center of town in the 1700s that had a sign with a picture of a sunrise. Since this was a popular watering hole located at a point where five wagon trails all came together, many travelers and frontiersman were known to say, “We’ll meet at the Rising Sun,” and so the name of the town was established. A little known fact, its beautiful rolling hills and landscape were originally part of the Nottingham Lots of Pennsylvania, and were part of a land dispute between William Penn of Pennsylvania and the Proprietary Governor of Maryland, Charles Calvert, 5th Baron of Baltimore. This border conflict waged for years and was actually known as Cresap’s War. When the Mason-Dixon Line was established and a new boundary line between Maryland and Pennsylvania was created, Rising Sun was officially made part of Cecil County, Maryland. Limestone benchmarks can be found in the area marking the Mason-Dixon Line.

Conflict resolution at the Cecil County Community Mediation Center

By Betsy Brantner Contributing Writer

Cecil County Community Mediation Center, Inc.(CCCMC), located at 224 East Main Street, Suite 110, in Elkton, is a non-profit organization providing free, confidential, and effective conflict resolution services through mediation, education, and training to promote respectful dispute resolution.

Kathy Glace, the executive dircetor and cofounder of the agency explained, “I have used mediation for two different situations. Had I not, it would have ended up in court. People use mediation as a last-ditch effort to avoid lengthy legal proceedings.”

The pandemic had the potential to knock the world of mediation on its head, but instead the mediators just brought out a different set of tools.

“We have always been face-to-face when we meet with clients. It’s important to see body language, expressions, and hear the tone of voices, but we had to be creative,” Glace explained.

Clients have to know they can meet in a confidential space where they can have a private conversation, but COVID guidelines required more space and new technology.

CCCMC received a grant which enabled them to get another small office space. The new office space offered them the room required for COVID guidelines and room needed for the new technology required to “mediate during COVID.”

Glace admitted, “It is difficult, but it is possible. Not everyone can just use the Zoom platform from their home. Clients need a confidential space where they will not be interrupted. We create the space. atmosphere and conversation so they can come to their own conclusions.”

All of the mediators are volunteers recruited from the community. Each volunteer receives vigorous training. Glace said, “We pick all of our

volunteers very carefully for our client’s sake and for the well-being of our volunteers. It is not an easy job.”

Glace said, “The toughest job now is that of the intake coordinators. The added stress of the pandemic has drastically changed the intake calls. People are overwhelmed when they call. It requires a skill to listen, and have the individual define what they hope to resolve.”

She added, “Mediators do not judge or take sides. They provide a space where each party can talk without interruption. The key is really about repairing relationships. You can get an outcome when you go to court, but you are often left wondering how you each feel about each other. Conflict resolution helps the parties involved collaborate on a mutually satisfying solution, and it can leave their relationship intact. And, statistics show that 46 percent of cases that reached a solution in court have to go back, but when mediation is involved only 21 percent go back. Mediation brings control back to everyone. We can resolve the conflict and find out what caused the problem.”

Glace is hopeful that going through mediation, will actually create a movement. A movement where people can become their own mediators.

“It is usually easier than we think,” she said. “We have to listen. People want to be heard. We really can learn these skills and do it on our own. We can be a tool in your personal tool box or in your workplace.”

What kind of problems can be mediated? Family disputes, including parent/teen issues, elder care, and living arrangements; marriage/ divorce issues, including co-parenting and custody arrangements; job resolutions; legal issues; municipal issues; property disputes; Homeowners Association disputes; building code violations; and consumer problems, and many more issues.

If you have a problem you would like to solve with mediation or are interested in being a volunteer, call CCCMC at 443- 207-5159 for more information.

Amedisys Hospice, Inc., based locally in Elkton, provides end-of-life services that make the final days for a patient and their entire family as easy as possible.

“We go anywhere—wherever they call home —nursing homes, assisted living, their actual home, wherever they are,” Clinical Hospice Liaison Johannah Bowman explained.

Bowman would like to dispel the myths surrounding hospice care that unfortunately can keep people from seeking services.

“My job is the educate the community on what services we provide. Hospice is not a scary thing. We are here to help,” Bowman said.

Hospice care does not mean a patient is giving up on life. Instead, hospice provides medical, emotional, spiritual and family support. The goal is to provide care and resources to help a patient stay home where they’re most comfortable, minimize doctors’ visits, and help prepare them for end of life. This in return, making lives a little easier for family and caregivers.

“If the last few months were bumpy, the next few months tend to be bumpy, too. It’s better to have a support system,” Bowman said.

Learning about the hospice process before it’s needed helps Amedisys Hospice staff do more for the patient when on service. Signs of decline that suggest it is time to consider hospice care include frequent falls, recurring infections, frequent hospital stays, or loss of weight. Patients can be young or old, and may be facing any type of terminal diagnosis. Medicare covers 100 percent of the cost for patients who qualify for hospice and services can be terminated at any time.

“Our goal is to keep people home with their loved ones and out of the hospital,” Bowman said. Medications used in hospice care focus on easing pain, but do not bring on death. “Nothing that we do hastens the process,” Bowman said. “It’s truly just making things easier for those going through a difficult time due to the terminal

illness. We want to be the light at the end of the tunnel. We want to know that our patients had the best time that they could have had during their possible worst time.”

Amedisys Hospice has a team that includes health care providers, chaplains, social workers and volunteers. “Our job is to educate what to expect about their terminal diagnosis and how to manage the symptoms associated with it. We also have a 24-7, on-call system available if anything should go wrong,” Bowman said. “When someone dies a good death, we did our job. We are honored to be their angel, to know they died well supported, with dignity, and not in pain.”

Bowman suggests that the best way to learn more about Amedisys Hospice services is to call her directly at (443) 593-2821.

HISTORY

By Land and By Sea

Cecil County is steeped in American history, and has many historic sites and districts, churches and museums. American Indians were the earliest inhabitants. “White men” arrived by ship in the early 1600s as part of an expedition led by one of Cecil’s most famous visitors - Captain John Smith. He and his men explored the rivers and met the native American residents living along their shorelines. Because of Cecil’s strategic location at the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay, it became a bustling transportation route during the colonial era. Wares and travelers, including famous founding fathers, arrived at and departed from its ports, and traveled by horse-drawn wagons along the county’s dusty roads.

In the early 19th century, less than one year after President James Madison persuaded Congress to embark on a second war with England, the British blockaded the Chesapeake Bay and sailed up the Elk River. It was April of 1813. They traveled the Elk, North East, and Sassafras Rivers and burned waterfront houses and buildings of commerce at Frenchtown, Fredericktown, and Principio Furnace. Due to the action and bravery of local citizens, the British were unable to reach the county seat of Elkton, thus could not burn the town. They considered setting their sights on Port Deposit along the Susquehanna River, but reconsidered.

During the Civil War, Cecil became a border county in a border state, with some citizens supporting the Union, and others the Confederacy. No battles took place in this part of Maryland, but there were notable people and happenings. What is now the Town of Perryville became a staging area for Union troops and supplies as well as the site of a “Mule School” which readied the animals for troop transport and war. Snow’s Battery was one of the county’s notable Civil War units from Port Deposit, which battled alongside Union forces at Antietam. Many Cecil County men left their homes and families to fight on both sides, with and against family and neighbors.

A drive through Cecil County today will take visitors past exquisite manor homes, 18th century churches, and covered bridges. Roadside historic markers tout the area’s history including inns, taverns, and plantations where folks like Lafayette and Washington hung their hats. Travelers can visit the C&D Canal Museum, or Mount Harmon - a tobacco plantation south of Cecilton. They can tour Upper Bay Museum, or Sinking Springs Herb Farm where a sycamore tree that sprouted in the 1500s spreads its shade over an 18th Century log farmhouse.

Rodgers Tavern stands on the east bank of the Susquehanna River in Perryville. The tavern is a monument to our country’s early history and a reminder of a past way of life in Cecil County. Built in the early eighteenth century, the tavern was known first as the Ferry House or Stevenson’s Tavern and was located next to a ferry established in 1695.

The Rodgers family was actively involved in supporting the American cause during the Revolutionary War. In 1775, John Rodgers raised and commanded a company of militia for the defense of Maryland. Because of the Tavern’s strategic location on the main thoroughfare, and the owner’s patriotic tendencies, it was a favorite stopping place for such Revolutionary figures as George Washington, Lafayette, and Rochambeau.

Other distinguished visitors included Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Just one year after John Rodgers bought the tavern, in 1781, Washington brought officers and troops through the Lower Ferry Crossing on his way to his victorious campaign against Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia.

The Tome School for Boys, originally located on Main Street in Port Deposit, Maryland was founded by Jacob Tome as a nonsectarian college preparatory school for boys. It opened for boarders and received its first students in 1894. It was part of a system of schools that began with kindergarten and extended through high school that was collectively known as the Jacob Tome Institute. The Tome School is significant in military history as the location of the Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) from 1943 to 1974, excepting the years 1949 to 1951. The NAPS, the third oldest school in the U.S. Navy after the Naval Academy and the Naval War College, prepares enlisted candidates in the Navy and Marine Corps for admission to the Naval Academy. The NAPS was located in the Tome School buildings for a total of 29 years covering a period of three major wars, during which the school played a continuing role in providing naval leadership for those conflicts.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Nick Cusmano, Snippets of Life photography

By Ken Mammarella Contributing Writer

Nick Cusmano has known for more than 25 years how being a member of the Cecil County Chamber of Commerce has helped him get referrals for the benefits work he handles for Colonial Life.

He’s hoping his new membership – fine art photographic prints and on site photo services called Snippets of Life –will grow that business, which he envisions evolving into a post-retirement gig.

Chamber members have already seen his stellar photos, done as a volunteer, in coverage of chamber golf outings, in the chamber directory and in a recent profile of the chamber in Cecil Life. He was also one of two featured photographers in a recent Cecil County Arts Council show. Cusmano was 7 when he first picked up a camera. Two courses and a lot of persistence developed his techniques. He earned decent money as a photographer until the familiar pressures of family and career made him put the equipment aside for nearly three decades. Then he made time to pick up the camera again, take online classes and shoot thousands of images to rebuild his skills and confidence.

He’s ready for assignments, with more than one camera and plenty of accessories, plus a bicycle, a kayak and a partnership in a 23-foot powerboat that together give him unparalleled access to Cecil County’s 240 miles of shoreline and hundreds of miles of scenic roadways. But sometimes the right image is in his own yard in Chesapeake City, such as the foggy landscape he uses on his business card.

Linda Katz, a friend for almost 20 years, and her husband, Paul, have purchased more than 10 of Cusmano’s photos for their business, the Chesapeake Wellness Center in Cecilton, and their home. “He captures the essence of a feeling you get when you look at a flower or up a path,” she said.

His Snippets of Life profile at snippets-of-life2-nickcusmano.picfair.com, highlights his photography in Americana, Birds, Abandoned Places and Things, Landscapes, Bugs and Plants. And he’s ready to photograph meetings, real estate and the businesses that build the community. “I’m seriously looking for my next step, for post-retirement income” he said. “Looking to finally pursue the dream. To wind this life down and help people remember, through my photography, people in their past and to see the beauty around them that they overlook.”

Business Minds. Local Hearts.

At WSFS Bank, we understand the importance of community banking. The local knowledge that comes from nearly 200 years of doing business right here. The understanding that comes from having generations of neighbors as Customers.

And there’s another reason we believe local roots matter; when you bank with WSFS your money stays right here, helping the people and businesses in the communities where you live and work.
