Bay Weekly’s New Spring Look

D

o you remember, back in grade school, when the weather turned warm and you got to sport those new spring clothes? Maybe it was a fresh Easter outfit—something pastel. Or maybe it was a new pair of shoes, bought after boots season when it became evident there was no way your feet could squeeze into last year’s pair.

There’s something energizing about heading out in a light jacket and some new spring shoes. You just walk a little lighter. The season brings more daylight, bright blooms and the feel of a fresh start after slogging through winter.

Here at Bay Weekly, we’re feeling that springtime energy. Only, instead of flaunting our Easter best in robin’s egg blue and lilac purple, we’re sporting a brand-new website.

If you’ve been reading along since Bay Weekly joined Chesapeake Bay Media in January, you’ve certainly noticed we have freshened up the paper with a new aesthetic. We aim to bring you the same local content, events calendar, and entertainment that have always compelled you to pick up a copy —but we’re presenting it

with a vibrant new look.

Beginning this week, the 2020 refresh extends to our website, bayweekly.com. Take a quick look, and you’ll find a more user-friendly, informative online experience.

Managing editor Kathy Knotts says, “The website now matches with our new style and better aligns us with our parent company, Ches-

CONTENTS

Your Say

apeake Bay Media (chesapeakebaymagazine.com).”

You’re probably thinking, Well, that’s nice, but what’s the new website going to do for ME? Knotts points out that the site’s clean look and larger font make the posted stories easier to find and easier to read. On the just-launched site, people can post events to the online calendar without having to sign up for a user account. And thanks to the organic flow of content between Chesapeake Bay Media’s Bay Weekly paper, Bay Bulletin news site, and Chesapeake Bay Magazine, you’ll have access to even more Bay stories.

Can the feeling of launching a new website really compare to bouncing along in new sneakers, watching daffodils and crocuses push up from the dirt? Maybe it’s a stretch: daffodils are pretty great.

But we do think you’ll find the new bayweekly. com to be a breath of fresh air. p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

Samson Matthews, 22, of Hurlock, Dorchester County with his state record gar.

EASTERN SHORE MAN BREAKS MD. FISHING RECORD WITH PREHISTORIC CATCH nother state record dinosaur fish has been pulled from Marshyhope Creek on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, this one by Samson Matthews, 22, of Hurlock, Maryland. The 18.30-pound longnose gar has been certified as the new state record for that species in the Chesapeake Division, besting the 17.90 pounder set

by David Confair of Secretary, Md. in January 2019. Confair was also fishing on Marshyhope Creek.

A

“I didn’t even know what it was at first,” Matthews told Maryland Department of Natural Resources.

On March 2, he was fishing with a friend above El Dorado Bridge, using cut gizzard (mud) shad for bait. After a 20-minute tussle, they hauled the fish on board, knowing it was a potential record fish. The gar was weighed at Kool Ice and Seafood in Cambridge, and after state biologists certified the species, Matthews released it back into the Marshyhope, just as Confair did last year with his prized fish.

Gars inhabit fresh and brackish tributaries throughout the Chesapeake watershed, preferring the stained, quiet waters of creeks and rivers, often lurking in weedy areas to ambush bait.

According to the Chesapeake Bay Program, the population status is stable. Gars have been around for 100 million years, well before the fish

we’re most familiar with today even flipped a fin. They are relatively longlived fish, from 17 to 20 years.

Females obtain sexual maturity at age six, males at four years old.

Longnose gar’s scientific name, Lepisosteus, means “hard-scaled,” and because they’re a bony fish they aren’t really targeted as table fare. Physically they look prehistoric; a long, beaklike snout packed with sharp teeth, and a dark olive or brown cylindrical body decorated with diamond-shaped scales. Dark spots appear on their backs, fins and sides. They grow six feet long and can weigh up to 50 pounds. Females are generally larger than males. Longnose gars are also able to breathe air from the atmosphere, an evolutionary advantage especially useful when dissolved oxygen levels drop in summer months.

Watermen, crab processing companies and seafood sellers all sounded the alarm when the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s limit of 66,000 H2B visas fell drastically short of fufilling the labor needs of the Bay’s crab season (Maryland’s 20 licensed crab-picking houses need about 500 seasonal workers).

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan had also urged the feds to allow more visas through the H-2B Nonimmigrant Temporary Worker Program–saying his state’s $355 million seafood industry and supply chain were at risk.

The Department of Homeland Security has since announced it will release an additional 35,000 H-2B visas nationwide. The action comes none too soon, as blue crab harvest season is just three weeks away, kicking off April 1. It’s a relief to businesses in rural Dorchester County, where only three of the county’s nine picking houses had received their workers as of last week.

But Governor Hogan says an eleventh hour fix is not enough. It’s the third straight year the crabbing industry has begged the federal government for additional H-2B visas, securing them just weeks before the season. Governor Hogan wants Congress and Maryland’s Congressional delegation to resolve the visa cap.

“While we still urgently need a longterm solution to this problem, this announcement is welcome relief for our state’s iconic crab processing houses and seafood industry.”

The Maryland Department of Agriculture just released a survey on the economic impact of the H-2B visa program on the state’s crab industry. It found that seven out of eight crab companies surveyed wouldn’t open for the 2020 crab season without adequate H-2B workers.

Without these seasonal workers, the survey showed that income for watermen could drop by $12.5 million, processors could lose more than $37 million in sales and the overall hit to the state’s economy could be $100-$150 million.

PEREGRINE FALCON EGG WATCH UNDERWAY IN BALTIMORE ne of the Chesapeake Bay’s most famous taloned couples are expecting. Boh and Barb, the peregrine falcons who live on a 33rd floor ledge of the Transamerica building in downtown Baltimore, have two brand new eggs in their scrape.

The falcons are webcam stars. Since 2015, Chesapeake Conservancy has been operating a live stream for nature fans to watch the falcon family nest 24/7 in partnership with explore.org.

Barb, the female falcon named after former Senator Barbara Mikulski, laid her first two eggs on Saturday and Monday. Boh (named for Baltimore’s Natty Boh beer), her lifelong mate, is a doting dad-to-be. He’ll bring Barb food while she sits on her eggs.

The first egg laid on March 7 was a surprise

Replacing Anne Arundel’s Lost Forests Now’s your chance to plant trees

BY KRISTA PFUNDER

nne Arundel County has lost close to 2,500 acres of tree canopy since 2013—more than any other county in the state.

Most of that loss occurred on private land, due to development like new strip malls and subdivisions. Now, two programs offer neighbors a chance to help replace those lost forests.

One effort, Replant Anne Arundel, hopes to plant more than 4,000 trees this year. The Anne Arundel County Watershed Stewards Academy has joined forces with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and Anne Arundel County to recruit 800 county residents for planting.

Funded by the Helena Foundation, Replant Anne Arundel is asking neighbors to get out in their communities and plant trees in 2020. They’ll show you how and even supply the trees.

The partnership will use native trees that are resilient to changes in tem-

A

perature, precipitation, diseases and pests. The list of exactly which trees make the cut for “Resilient Tree Species” is still being finalized.

“Plants and trees native to the Chesapeake Bay region are important to our local ecologies,” says Josh Yetter Clark, restoration coordinator for the Watershed Stewards Academy. “They tend to have grown up here, meaning they are predisposed to handle our climate and require less fertilizers and pesticides— which reduces those chemicals from getting into our local waterways.”

Neighborhoods, churches, schools and any other group of concerned citizens are encouraged to apply. A designated Tree Trooper will lead your team.

This volunteer from your community will receive training that covers topics like biology, proper planting technique and how to site a tree in a landscape.

If you are interested in being a part of Replant Anne Arundel, go to aawsa.org/replantannearundel and click on Replant Anne Arundel.

Another way to help is through Backyard Buffers, which helps create a forest buffer of native trees and

to webcam fans and Chesapeake Conservancy, because it came almost two weeks earlier than usual. In 2019, Barb laid her first egg March 20; in 2018 it was March 19.

In previous years, Barb has laid four eggs, only a few days apart, so it’s a good time to keep a close eye on the Falcon Cam, as more eggs could be on the way.

Once the chicks come, they’ll spend 35-45 days safe in the nest, counting on their parents to feed them. Peregrine falcons eat medium-sized birds like ducks and pigeons, catching them in mid-air. They’re thought to be the fastest bird in the world, diving from great heights to catch prey. A peregrine has been clocked at 238 miles per hour during one of these dives.

Boh and Barb are descendants from the same falcon family that has been nesting at the Transamerica building since 1977.

You can help replace lost trees.

shrubs in your backyard. Native woodland buffers reduce the amount of sediment, toxins and fertilizers from entering our waterways.

Backyard Buffers—a joint effort with the Watershed Stewards Academy and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR)—distributes native trees and shrubs to individual homeowners (rather than organized groups) in Anne Arundel County.

“Native plants have naturally deep roots that hold onto soil, preventing it from washing to the Bay, and allow for great infiltration of stormwater, reduc-

ing the flashiness of rain events.

Native plants and trees also support our local wildlife. From food sources for our pollinators to habitat for our birds, these plants are incredibly important to incorporate into our local landscapes.” Yetter Clark adds.

All Anne Arundel County residents are eligible for the Backyard Buffers program. Go to aawsa.org/backyard-buffers for more information.

Not a County resident? Go to the DNR website to find your county coordinator for the statewide Backyard Buffers program.

Springtime Bay Bridge Construction Brings Back-Ups But the end is in sight

BY KRISTA PFUNDER

armer weather means longer days, bulbs planted in the fall emerging, and an increase in Bay Bridge traffic.

The signs of spring are here.

With two simultaneous construction projects underway, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) is warning drivers to expect significant backups the weekends surrounding St. Patrick’s Day and Easter. The weekends of March 14 and April 10 will be particularly clogged, says MDTA. The solution to the headache is as simple as traveling during off-peak hours whenever possible. For St. Patrick’s Day weekend, that means going before 10am or after 8pm. For Easter weekend, aim to cross the span before 10am or after 10pm. On Easter Monday, April 13, traveling before 6am and after 6pm is best.

Crews are continuing their aggressive timeline in re-decking the westbound span of the bridge, which is expected to finish by summer. In the meantime, drivers will be impacted by round-theclock work. They’re also transitioning the bridge to all-electronic tolling by summer, and adjusting to that change may take a little work on your part.

If you want to get across at the best

rate, you’ll need to have an E-ZPass account. The plus side is that drivers will no longer have to stop and pay tolls, which will keep traffic flowing. Instead, overhead gantries collect tolls electronically as vehicles pass underneath.

Marylanders without E-ZPass should go to ezpassmd.com to enroll.

Free transponders with no monthly fees are available. Keep in mind that if

you do not have an E-ZPass account, your license plate will be read electronically — via video tolling — and you will receive a bill in the mail. The cost of video tolling is much higher than if you have an E-Z Pass account.

To spread the word about the cashless tolling, MTA is hosting free outreach events starting this week. Locally, outreach events include: Friday, March 13 at the Broadneck branch of the Anne Arundel County Library

(10am-noon); Monday, March 16 at the Eastport-Annapolis Neck Branch (24pm) and Tuesday, March 24 at the Severna Park Community Center (3:30-5:30pm). Free transponders will be available and new customers can sign up for an E-ZPass account.

Upgrading to E-ZPass is one step towards speeding up your future Bay Bridge trips. And the mild winter and early spring we’ve been enjoying are also helping. Crews have been able to

take advantage of the recent good weather, laying more than 50% of the necessary latex-modified concrete.

Once the rest has been laid, the lane will be ready to support traffic.

Built By Women

Museum in 2016, the traveling exhibit has visited the University of DC, Howard University and Catholic University.

Maryland’s choice for where to showcase it fits in well.

The exhibit is on display on the first floor of The Patterson House, designed and built by Gertrude Sawyer one of the earliest female architects to practice in the state. She worked on the Colonial Revival-style home from 1932 to 1934.

During your tour of the exhibit, look for some of the features Sawyer incorporated into the house, including a formal pillared entry and classical moldings.

The house sits surrounded by gardens designed by Rose Greely, a landscape architect who was the first female licensed architect in Washington, D.C.

Historic Patterson estate— designed by a woman—hosts traveling exhibit

BY KRISTA PFUNDER

n the heels of International Women’s Day—and just in time for the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment—Maryland’s Jefferson Patterson Park is showcasing the accomplishments of women in the building industry.

The traveling exhibit Built by Women comes to the Park & Museum in St. Leonard March 13 through June 24.

The exhibit celebrates the contributions of women in fields related to building: Architecture, engineering and construction.

More than 30 winning sites of a juried competition will be featured. Sites are located in and around the Washington, D.C. region where women were directly responsible for leading the design or construction of the project.

“Thankfully it’s not really shocking to see a female ranger these days,” says KAREN JARBOE. “The field is changing.”

hether the uniform is tan, green, gray or blue, park rangers are easy to spot. The iconic hat, sunglasses, badges and boots. You can spot them coming. In Maryland, the person in that uniform is likely to be a woman.

In 1974, Linda Wilkins became the first female park ranger in the state of Maryland. Stationed at Patapsco Valley State Park, she had a background in law enforcement and patrolled the park on foot and on motorcycle.

Wilkins was a ground-breaker in the 70s, and it’s taken time for the rest of the state to catch up. While rangering is still a male-dominated industry, women in outdoor careers are closing the gap.

Anne Arundel County is an inspiring example. Pick a county-owned park and you are likely to find a woman running it. Of our seven county parks, four have women serving as superintendent. The same goes for Calvert County, where the director of Parks and Recreation is female, as are the chiefs of special facilities and natural resources.

Bay Weekly talked to four local women who found their place among the woods, trails, water and beaches of the Chesapeake Bay. Each of these women took a different path to their career, yet all four demonstrate passion and dedication to nature, conservation and education.

Alison Woodfield is celebrating her first

Nature’s Caretakers Female rangers lead the way B Y K AT H Y K N O T T S anniversary as superintendent at Quiet Waters Park but spent the years prior as a ranger at Sandy Point State Park. “I grew up in the hills of West Virginia and then moved to a rural area of Maryland.

We didn’t have neighbors nearby or electronic devices or a television, so I spent my time outdoors with my sister and brother, hunting, fishing and camping.”

Sue Payne has worked in nearly every park in the county and even served as interim superintendent before taking the helm of the Anne Arundel County Trails. Her childhood mirrors Woodfield’s—time spent outdoors. “My father was an outdoorsman.

My brother and I were always outdoors, fishing, camping and hiking and all those things that come with it.

When I graduated from Severna Park High School, my mom came home with all these catalogues for colleges with programs in wildlife and forestry. She knew me very well.”

Woodfield and Payne left college with degrees that would serve them well in their careers. For others the move to conservation comes long after college.

Karen Jarboe, who was recently named superintendent of the Mayo Peninsula parks, earned her college degree in philosophy. “I had wanted to be a professor of philosophy,” Jarboe says. “But when the economy dried up, those kinds of jobs dry up, too. Thankfully I had made some inroads with the Maryland Park Service after my two years with the Maryland Conservation Corps program.”

Karyn Molines, the Natural Resources Division Chief for Calvert County Parks and Recreation, bounced from being a textiles major to studying zoology under scientific pioneer Dr. Eugenie Clark at the University of Maryland College Park. “In my junior year, I discovered Environmental Education. I learned about the Audubon Naturalist Society in Chevy Chase and started to volunteer with their education department,” says Molines. “I was able to learn from regional experts in every field of natural history: insects, birds, reptiles, amphibians, plants, geology, wetland and forest ecology, and so much more.”

Despite the different paths they took, all these women rarely give gender a second thought in their jobs.

“Thankfully it’s not really shocking to see a female ranger these days,” says Jarboe. “The field is changing. My biggest challenge had been finding fire boots and gloves in my size for when I went to fight wildland fires in California.

But today, you could walk into any home improvement store and find gloves, boots and equipment that fit a woman.”

Molines says it was coming from a large family full of entrepreneurs that taught her to be self-sufficient and independent. “I’m the third of six kids.

With a large family we all learned how to speak our minds to get noticed and Continued on next page

get what we needed or wanted. Both my parents were running a business, so we kids were typically creating our own meals and supporting each other,” she says. “My dad raised us to be feminists, even though he would say that was not his intention.”

During her time conducting scientific research, Molines recalls being the only woman in the room at times. “Having my voice heard was often a challenge, but it never stopped me from being heard. Within Parks & Recreation and overseeing Natural Resources, it is a

bit male-dominated, but there are still many strong women leaders.”

All of the rangers we spoke to agree that educating the public is a highlight of the job.

“My favorite part of the job is when I discover something new and get to share it with someone else,” says Payne.

“Like spotting a great horned owl nest and finding babies inside and then getting to show someone else. I can see the excitement on their face and know that they are enjoying it, too.”

“For me, it’s combining my love of the outdoors and sharing the outdoors with others—especially children,” says Woodfield. “As a ranger I was given the opportunity to visit schools and talk about my career and introduce children to parks, trails and nature.”

Educational outreach is one way to inspire future female rangers.

KAREN JARBOE, who was recently named superintendent of the Mayo Peninsula parks, earned her college degree in philosophy.

“For me, it’s combining my love of the outdoors and sharing the outdoors with others—especially children,” says ALISON WOODFIELD

Another inroad for female rangers is through service organizations.

“I know a lot of women who came into park careers thanks to their time spent in service organizations like AmeriCorps, and the Conservation Corps,” says Jarboe. “Also, for me personally, it was a welcomed challenge.

At first, some older men would say ‘women shouldn’t be doing this work,’ and I’d just reply, ‘well, I’m doing it.’

Now they all know that I know what I’m doing.”

Female rangers are trained just like their male counterparts and are expected to know the same skills. Running a chainsaw, driving a tractor, backing a trailer into the water. “On any given day, you can find me doing maintenance here in the park, running chainsaws or working on plumbing,” says Woodfield.

“Being a ranger is being a Jack-ofall-trades. I write reports, I create budget proposals, I work on trails, I interact with the public. Women are empowered to do more physical jobs now in our culture,” says Jarboe.

Out of town visitors to Jonas Green Park and the B&A Trail remind Sue Payne why she loves her job. “People are recognizing the importance of the outdoors, people want to take care of it, protect it...It’s more than recreation to some people, it promotes a sense of wellbeing, calmness and peacefulness. People come to the outdoors to relax,” she says.

“I feel honored to be here. I like my job so much—if I didn’t like it I wouldn’t have been here so long. Being a park ranger is a terrific job. Yes, you work weekends. Yes, you work holidays. Yes, you work in all kinds of weather— but it is a terrific job.” ‫ﵭ‬

Spring Blooms and Runs D

id you know you can predict the peak of a particular Tidewater spring fishing run by what is in bloom? Daffodils, forsythia and dogwood each bloom in concurrence with a specific Chesapeake spawn.

The first spring blossom is the daffodil and it coincides with the rush of yellow perch that ascend our tributaries from now into April. When you see a brilliant flash of yellow along roadsides know that Chesapeake angling season has kicked off, with tributaries hosting the annual yellow perch run.

Yellow perch, sometimes called yellow neds or ring perch because of its golden hues set off by olive vertical stripes, is a particularly delicious fish with firm, white meat. A cousin to the striped bass, the yellow perch can reach up to 18 inches in length, though the minimum legal size is just half that at nine inches. A 14-incher is a citation.

Though its numbers have decreased during the last few decades because of developmental silting, this fish continues to swarm the shallows this time of year to the delight of anglers.

under weighted casting bobbers will tempt a bite.

At low water conditions, bottom fishing deeper waters with an ounce or so of lead, hi-lo rigs, number 4 hooks and the same baits can be just as effective.

With a limit of ten daily these frisky beauties can definitely provide an excellent springtime dinner.

The next blossom to look for is the fiery forsythia, a brushy plant that spews out yellow petals as if they have no end. Its blooming is an indicator that the Chesapeake’s white perch are finally on the move to reproduce in their sweet water birthplaces.

The most numerous fish in the Tidewater, the white perch is also the most delicious. The same baits and techniques that are used for yellow perch will work equally well for whites.

Another cousin of our rockfish, this fish may also reach 18 inches, though lately, a ten-inch fish is considered a big one. Citation size is 14 inches with no minimum size and no possession limit.

White perch is the most harvested

fish in the Bay. Dipped in a sticky mixture of flour and beer then rolled in a heaping dish of panko, Japanese bread crumbs, and fried in 400-degree peanut oil until golden brown, it is one of the premier treats of springtime.

Finally come the dogwood bloom and hickory shad run. Big, flashy white blossoms in a tree line let you know that the shad are flashing as well in area streams. Returning from the Atlantic, hickory can reach 24 inches and leap like tarpon.

Once treasured for its roe sacks, which were fried in butter by colonists, the hickory’s numbers have waned. It is currently illegal to harvest, though catch and release fishing is permitted.

Hickory shad are strong adversaries and hit shad darts, retrieved erratically. Their wild leaping runs on light spin rigs will definitely make these early months of the Chesapeake angling season memorable.

Check DNR’s Fisheries website for notices on closed seasons, minimum sizes and new possession limits. ‫ﵭ‬

FISHFINDER Spring has definitely sprung with higher temperature days and not too cold nights. While the yellow perch may have peaked the whites are now ascending and will be mixed in and hitting the same baits. Staying the course until you are on the water at the same time as the fish is the secret to scoring this time of year, the runs are erratic but dramatic.

Shad are reported, though I haven’t seen any myself, and there are a satisfying number of large pickerel. It’s a beautiful time of year to be on the water. Springtime weather is unpredictable so enjoy it when you can.

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

BY MARIA PRICE

The Benefits of Stressed Plants e’re not the only ones who get stressed out sometimes— plants do, too. And believe it or not, some stressed plants may actually benefit our health.

Dr. David A. Sinclair, author of Lifespan: Why We Age—And Why We Don’t Have To claims that organic vegetables might be better for you since they have to work harder to defend themselves and therefore produce stress compounds that might be good for us.

Sinclair mentions resveratrol and sirtuins as examples of compounds made by plants when insects eat

The grape plant manufactures resveratrol in the skin of the fruit to deter gray mold.

Resveratrol acts as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet aggregating factor and anticancer agent. them or they are water stressed (they get too much or too little H2O).

Stress compounds accumulate in high levels as a result of some form of injury or disturbance to the plant’s metabolism. These compounds are involved in various crude drugs formed pathologically such as gums and oleoresins, so they’re of special interest in the pharmaceutical industry. Another group of compounds known as phytoalexins help plants build resistance to diseases caused by fungi and bacteria.

There is great variability in the chemistry of stress compounds. In grape vines (Vitis vinifera), the fungus botrytis cinereal triggers a chemical defense to produce resveratrol. Resveratrol and proteins called sirtuins are found in red wine, dark chocolate, green tea, capers, citrus, apples, blueberries, parsley, turmeric and kale. The grape plant manufactures resvera-

trol in the skin of the fruit to deter gray mold. Resveratrol acts as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet aggregating factor and anticancer agent. It may also reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Resveratrol is also found in large quantities in Japanese knotweed (polygonum), an invasive species. It is often sold as a dietary supplement.

Sirtuins are a class of proteins with enzymatic activity that might delay the aging process and regulate metabolism and stem cells. In 2006, Sinclair reported that obese mice that got doses of resveratrol lived longer than fat mice who didn’t— about 30 percent longer.

In recent years however, some of these studies have been challenged. Scientists are still trying to figure out the nature of aging. But if you’re stressing out about potential stress on your plants, know that a little insect damage might not be a bad thing. ‫ﵭ‬

STORY AND PHOTOS BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Osprey: Signs of Spring M id-March for me is punctuated by the return of the Chesapeake’s osprey. Along the South River in Anne Arundel County, where spawning alewife and gizzard shad school up before going into shallower water, the osprey come to feed heavily and gain weight for nesting.

I like to watch them fly in place over a potential target and drop head first,

then suddenly flip to talon first as they hit the water. They usually completely disappear underwater and as they come up, I can tell how large their catch is. As they float on top of the water they are adjusting the position of the fish underwater. The head is turned forward to make the fish more aerodynamic.

Sometimes the birds struggle to get large fish in the proper position and out

of the water. The largest fish I ever saw caught was an 18- to 22-inch striped bass. The female osprey had a really hard time lifting off and dragged the fish’s tail in the water a good 200 feet before getting airborne. I know it couldn’t eat the whole thing.

Most of the Chesapeake Bay’s ospreys spend the winter in South America but mated pairs go to separate wintering grands. The males return to the nesting spot a week or two before the females. They work on rebuilding the

nest and fishing. When the female shows up, the male performs a courtship flight. He will catch a fish and start flying up and down in the air, calling out loudly. Frequently, the object of his desires will follow him and accept the fish he is carrying. These displays are loud and become a little sad when no female shows interest.

He will fly higher and higher and carry the fish so long it will dry out. Young birds seem to have the most trouble.

Ospreys become sexually mature after spending two years in South America. Their first return is an awkward time for them. The males struggle to find a nesting site and then struggle garnering interest from a female.

The young females have trouble taking care of the eggs and the young. The couple’s first attempts at raising a family frequently fail. If an older bird loses its mate, it chooses a replacement, which may be a young bird.

The return of the osprey is a sign of spring. Hopefully you can find a spot to watch them catch fish and build a nest.

The best online local osprey cam is from the Patuxent River Park on Jug Bay, pgparks.com/3441/wildlifecameras.

To see nesting in person, visit the pier at North Beach, which usually has two active osprey nests. ‫ﵭ‬

THE MOVIEGOER

Chris Pratt and Tom Holland in Onward

BY DIANA BEECHENER

n the olden days, magic was a hard-won skill that could be used to provide wonder and creature comforts. Elves, trolls, centaurs and a whole host of magical creatures banded together to learn it.

Then, someone invented electricity.

A few centuries later, the magical world looks a whole lot like this one—everyone’s got smart phones, cars and modern conveniences. Unicorns are now basically raccoons that get in trash cans and dragons are cute little pets. The old ways are a distant memory with magical shrines bulldozed to make way for highways.

Ian Lightfoot (Tom Holland: Dolittle) is an elf who doesn’t believe in magic. He’s an awkward kid just hoping to fit in. His only wish in the world is to know more about his father, who died before he was born.

He’s lost and utterly in need of guidance.

Also in need of guidance is Ian’s brother Barley (Chris Pratt: Avengers: Endgame), who is obsessed with a fantasy game called Quest Lore. He spends his days pretending magic is real and embarrasses his little brother by shouting about sacred spells when he picks Ian up at school.

On Ian’s 16th birthday, his mother gives him a magic staff and a spell that will bring his father back for one day.

When the spell goes awry, Ian and Barley must find a way to fix the incantation so they can reunite with their father.

Pixar is known for producing truly brilliant emotionally rich films; Onward is a charming enough film, but it lacks the depth and attention to detail found in most of their fare.

Still, there’s a lot to like in this colorful, fun film. There are clever sight gags galore. Pratt is brash and ebullient to a fault while Holland is adorably awkward and sweet. The real scene stealer in this animated fantasy though is the Manticore (Octavia Spencer: Dolittle). As a former adventurer turned restauranteur, the Manticore is the perfect symbol for this tamed world. Once fierce and feared, she’s now desperate to get the cheese sticks to table two before she gets a bad

While the government wants to use him for dangerous missions, Ray is only interested in finding the man who killed his wife. Yet he doubts his memories.

Personally, I only find Diesel tolerable when he sticks to saying I am Groot in various forms. If mumbling tough guys and half-baked plots are your thing, Bloodshot should be your type of movie.

CRABBING SEASON IS COMING! Stock up on gear now!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Giacomo Puccini’s famous opera Tosca premiered in 1900. It featured a heroine named Tosca. In 1914, Puccini’s favorite Tosca, a soprano singer named Maria Jeritza, was performing in a production at New York’s Metropolitan Opera. As she got ready to sing an aria entitled I Live for Art, she stumbled and fell. Rather than struggle awkwardly to rise, she pretended that this was all quite natural—called for in the script. She sang the entire piece while lying on the floor.

Puccini loved it! Ever since then, most of the singers who have played the role of Tosca have sung I Live for Art while prone. I suggest you regard this as an inspirational teaching. What lucky accidents could you make into permanent additions or enhancements?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus poet Gary Snyder said, Threefourths of philosophy and literature is the talk of people trying to convince themselves that they really like the cage they were tricked into entering. Personally, I think that many of us, not just philosophers and writers, do the same thing. Are you one of us?

Your first assignment during the next four weeks will be to explore whether you do indeed tend to convince yourself that you like the cage you were tricked into entering. Your second assignment: If you find that you are in a cage, do everything you can to stop liking it. Third assignment: Use all your ingenuity, call on all the favors you’re owed, and conjure up the necessary magic so that you can flee the cage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Your body is not a temple,” declared author and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain.

“It’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.” I half-agree with him. I’m deeply devoted to regarding the body as an amusement park. It should be a source of endless fun and enjoyment. We have the right—indeed, I’d say a duty—to wield our bodies in ways that immerse us in the mysteries and miracles of pleasure. But here’s where I disagree with Bourdain: I believe the body is also a temple that deserves our reverence and respect and protective tenderness. Your assignment in the coming weeks, Gemini, is to raise your commitment to treating your body as both an amusement park and a holy temple.

410-956-0300 214 Mayo Road • Edgewater www.baycountrycrabbingsupply.com

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Early in his career, Cancerian painter Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796–1875) sold only a few paintings. But eventually his luck improved. Once he was financially successful, he became very generous. He wielded his influence to get jobs for other artists, and mentored many artists, as well. Sometimes he added a few dabs of paint to the finished works of younger, struggling painters, then signed the canvases with his own name

so that the works could more easily be sold.

The coming weeks will be a favorable time to adopt your own version of Corot’s approach toward those around you who could benefit from your help and support. (P.S. It’s in your selfish interest to do so, although the reasons why may not be clear for a while.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Composer Brian Eno has testified that African music underlies and influences much of his work. He exults in the freedom and unpredictability it encourages. Why? Here’s one reason: In African songs, there are often multiple rhythms. And they’re not locked together; they float freely in relationship to each other. Eno says this is different from Western music, whose salient quality is that all the rhythmic elements are contained “in little boxes”—locked into a tyrannically mechanical clockwork pattern. According to my reading of the astrological omens, dear Leo, the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to experiment with Eno’s insight. How? Escape mechanical clockwork patterns and activate the “multiple, free-floating rhythm” metaphor in everything you do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Are you interested in enhancing your mastery of togetherness? Are you open to my suggestion that you should seek out practical education about the arts of intimacy? Would you be willing to meditate on how you might bring additional creativity and flair into your close alliances? If you answered yes to those questions, the next six weeks will provide you with ample opportunities to dive in to all that fun work. “Collaboration” and “cooperation” will be words of power for you. “Synergy and symbiosis" should be your tender battle cry.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As you come to the climax of your Season of Good Gaffes and Lucky Bloopers, I’ll remind you of folk singer Pete Seeger’s definition of a “productive mistake.” He said it had these five qualities: “1. made in the service of mission and vision; 2. acknowledged as a mistake; 3. learned from; 4. considered valuable; 5. shared for the benefit of all.” Let’s hope, Libra, that your recent twists and turns fit at least some of these descriptions!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Would you consider making one more push, Scorpio? Can I coax you to continue your half-confusing, half-rewarding quest? Are you willing to wander even further out into the frontier and take yet another smart risk and try one additional experiment? I hope so.

You may not yet be fully convinced of the value of these forays outside of your comfort zone, but I suspect you will ultimately be glad that you have chosen what’s interesting over what’s convenient. P.S. In the coming weeks, you could permanently expand your reservoir of courage.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A traditional astrologer might say that you Sagittarians typically spend less time at home than any other sign of the zodiac. Some of you folks even rebel against the idea that having a stable home is a health-giving essential. You may feel that you can’t be totally free unless you always have your next jaunt or journey planned, or unless you always have a home-away-fromhome to escape to. I understand and appreciate these quirks about your tribe, but am also committed to coaxing you to boost your homebody quotient. Now would be a perfect time to do that. You’re more open than usual to the joy and power of cultivating a nurturing home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The more crooked the path, the faster you’ll get to where you’re going. Every apparent detour will in fact be at least a semi-valuable shortcut. Any obstacle that seems to block your way will inspire you to get smarter and more resourceful, thereby activating lucky breaks that bring unexpected grace. So don’t waste even a minute cursing outbreaks of inconvenience, my dear, because those outbreaks will ultimately save you time and make life easier. (P.S.: During the coming weeks, conventional wisdom will be even more irrelevant than it usually is.).

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When I was a young adult, I was unskilled and indigent. Many restaurants exploited my feeble prowess at washing pots and pans and dishes, but the meager wage they paid me barely kept me fed and housed. You will perhaps understand why, now that I’m grown up, I am averse to cleaning pots and pans and dishes, including my own. That’s why I pay a helper to do that job. Is there an equivalent theme in your own life? An onerous task or grueling responsibility that oppressed you or still oppresses you? Now is a good time to find a way to declare your independence from it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I suspect your fantasy life will be especially potent in the coming weeks. Your imagination will have an enhanced power to generate visions that could eventually manifest as actual events and situations.

On the one hand, that could be dicey, because you can’t afford to over-indulge in fearful speculations and worried agitation.

On the other hand, that could be dramatically empowering, because your good new ideas and budding dreams may start generating practical possibilities rather quickly.

HOMEWORK: “In purely spiritual matters, God grants all desires. Those who have less have asked for less,” wrote Simone Weil. Is that true for you? FreeWillAstrology.com.

NEWS OF THEc WEIRD

A Shoppe for All Seasons

COMPILED BY ANDREWS M MEEL SYNDICATION Unclear on the Concept

The Foreign Press

For two whole years, Caelie Wilkes nurtured a lovely green succulent in her kitchen window. She watered it, wiped dust off its leaves, and forbade anyone else from caring for it. “It was full, beautiful coloring, just an overall perfect plant,” Wilkes wrote in a Facebook post from Feb. 28. Recently, Upworthy reported, she decided it was time to transplant it into a pretty new pot. So imagine her dismay when she pulled up the succulent and realized it was plastic, rooted in Styrofoam with sand glued to the top. “How did I not know this?” she wondered. “I feel like these last two years have been a lie.” Wilkes suffered some ridicule on social media, but her local Home Depot reached out with some real, living succulents that Wilkes can shower with love and attention.

The ancient legend about St. Patrick driving Ireland’s snakes into the sea could only be salt in the wound of a 22year-old man from Dublin, who appears to be the first person in Ireland to suffer a venomous snake bite, The Irish Post reported on Feb. 29. The man’s pet puff adder bit him, prompting a visit to Connolly Hospital, where doctors consulted with experts from the National Reptile Zoo. James Hennessy, zoo director, explained that “puff adder venom is pretty nasty. It’s going to start digesting and disintegrating all around the area of the bite, and that will continue up the limb as well. It will then cause massive internal issues as well, if not treated.” (FYI, scientists say it was probably the Ice Age that kept snakes out of Ireland.)

Bright Idea An innovative jewel thief in Melbourne, Australia, was caught on camera using a fishing rod to burgle a Versace necklace from a store window on Feb. 24. ABC News reports the thief carefully broke a hole in the window to avoid setting off the alarm, then spent almost three hours trying to hook the costume jewelry necklace, worth about $800. He worked with two differentsized rods before finally snagging the necklace. Store owner Steven Adigrati called the heist “outrageous and courageous,” although he suspected the thief was unaware that the piece was relatively inexpensive. “This particular necklace looks a lot more expensive than what it is ... gold, bright, iconic Medusa head,” he explained.

Police are still searching for the fisherman.

The Litigious Society Chuck E. Cheese may be “where a kid can be a kid,” but for one Portland, Oregon, patron, it’s where a woman can get her long hair caught in a ticket machine. Ashreana Scott is suing Chuck E. Cheese’s parent company for $1,000 after alleging her hair was tangled for 20 minutes in a machine that counts tickets for prize redemption, The Oregonian reported. In the lawsuit, Scott said the Dec. 8 incident caused injuries, discomfort and headaches, and she wants a jury trial and a sign posted near the machine to warn others. A manager at the restaurant declined to comment on the lawsuit, but said the machines already have warning signs.

A Dream Come True Residents of Settecani, a small village in Italy, were startled on March 4 when their kitchen and bathroom taps began dispensing red wine rather than water, United Press International reported.

Locals quickly identified the wine as Lambrusco Grasparossa, which is produced at a nearby winery, and officials there found a leak that sent wine from a silo into water pipes. Some quick-thinking residents said they bottled as much of the tap wine as they could before the problem was resolved.

Awesome!

• Ohio college student Mendl Weinstock, 21, kidded his sister, Riva, five years ago that when she gets married, he will bring a llama to the wedding as his plus-one. So when Riva tied the knot on March 1, Mendl made good on his promise, showing up with a rented llama named Shockey, wearing a custom-made tuxedo. Riva was unamused, but conceded to CNN: “When my brother puts his mind to something, he gets it done.”

Mendl spent $400 to rent the llama but said it was worth every penny. Shockey spent about 30 minutes taking photos with amused guests outside the venue, but friends who were in on the joke seated two inflatable llamas at one of the tables inside. Riva said she’ll get her revenge: “He should sleep with one eye open.”

• Keith Redl of Dawson Creek, British Columbia, was more than a little annoyed when the prize his 8-year-old grandson won in a raffle turned out to be $200 worth of cannabis products and accessories: chocolate edibles, vanilla chai and other products, along with a pipe and lighter. At a fundraiser for youth hockey in early March, Redl told CTV, the boy’s father had given him $10 worth of tickets to bid on whichever prizes he liked. The little boy thought he was bidding on chocolate. “My grandson thought he had won a great prize,” Redl said, but when he was told he couldn’t have any of it, “He was mad ... How do you explain that to a kid?”

EW EW EW! A mother in Saint-Malo, France, filed a complaint with police on Feb. 25 against Danone, the manufacturer of powdered baby formula. Police told AFP the woman’s 3-month-old daughter became ill in November with a high temperature, and the mother took her to the emergency room. “Several days later,” authorities said, “[the baby] vomited a worm about 6 to 7 centimeters long” -- about the length of an adult index finger. In the report, the mother said the worm had been examined at a hospital and was determined to be of a parasitic type.

She decided to take action after learning of two other cases, one in central France where living larvae were found in a container of the same brand of formula. A spokesperson from Danone told a news conference that without the containers, “several hypotheses could explain the presence of an insect,” but the formula is never exposed to air in its production chain.

The Inside Word

by Bill Sells

How many two or more letter words can you make in 2 minutes from the letters in: Polka Dots Favorite dances are a cultural phenomenon and have been since the invention of clapping. There is the Hoedown, the Charleston, the Lindy Hop, the Jitterbug, the Tango, the Twist, the Cha Cha, Disco, Break dancing, Mosh-Pitting, and whatever is currently trending. Each dance has its own subculture including fashion.

At the turn of the nineteenth-century dancing to Polka music was all the rage. Dress makers and manufacturers named their styles and products after the artists and songs. There were polka handkerchiefs, polka hats, polka gloves, polka jewelry, and fabrics printed with polka dots. Let's dance! Polka! Polka! Polka!

Scoring: 21 - 24 = Aloft; 17 - 20 = Ahead; 14 - 16 = Aweigh; 11 - 13 = Amidships; 08 - 10 = Aboard; 04 - 07 = Adrift; 01 - 03 = Aground
