FEATURED ARTICLES
Achoo! by Helen Chappell
I read that the medical establishment has cured an infant of AIDS, which is a miracle, either of science or God, depending on your beliefs. I also read that they are on the track of a gene in cancer cells that could possibly wipe out that great affliction. Medicine and science are full of daily miracles large and small. The only reason I’m not dead is because of modern medicine. Until recently, medicine was barbaric. We’ve come a long way from purging and bleeding.
After the Drama - The Routine of Regaining Your Health by Dick Cooper
The young cardiologist in a white lab coat was at the head of a bevy of even younger doctors-in-training that seemed to flood into my room at the University of Maryland Medical Center in downtown Baltimore.
“Good morning, Mr. Cooper. You have had stents implanted in one of your heart arteries and it is very important that you take your medicine faithfully every day,” she says in a professorial tone as the student-doctors study copies of my recent medical history.
Eating Your Landscape by K. Marc Teffeau
A landscaping trend that has caught on in the last couple of years is creating an edible landscape. Edible landscaping involves integrating and/or replacing ornamental plants with plants that produce food, and offers an alternative to conventional residential landscapes that are designed solely for ornamental purposes. The edible landscape can be just as attractive as a conventional one by combining fruit and nut trees, berry bushes, vegetables, herbs, edible flowers and ornamental plants.
Aussies & Kiwis - Part I by George W. Sellers
This month’s Tidewater Traveler is a departure from my normal style of travel-feature writing. While escorting a small group on a three-week trip to Australia and New Zealand recently, I kept a written log and e-mailed it daily to several dozen friends and family, not knowing for sure how it would be received or even acknowledged. I was pleasantly surprised to have many folks tell me (unsolicited) that they really enjoyed the daily updates.
Tidewater Times was established in 1952 as a specialized monthly magazine which would appeal to the tourist, the prospective land buyer, and others for whom the Eastern Shore has a special allure. It was created to be small enough to fit into a woman's purse or a man's coat pocket. Today it has blossomed as a vital symbol of our thriving community.
