Habits to Hold Onto The Part of Pandemic Life that Ain’t so Bad

O

n a sunny, 65-degree morning we pile out of the car onto the parking lot at Anne Arundel County’s Downs Park. I hoist two preschoolers out of their car seats and unfold a double jogging stroller from the back, loading it with sippy cups and baggies of Goldfish crackers. Just then, my father gets out of his car a few spaces down and my little guys shout, “Granddad!” as the four of us head for the paved trail that snakes through the woods behind the park’s Bayfront shoreline and past a quiet tidal pond.

When we stumble on a field of bat houses built on poles just off the trail and a bee colony in another field off the trail, my oldest son (four and a half) stands riveted as my father (74) tells him about the wildlife. The two of them look high up at a strong, old oak tree and my son declares, “I’m getting really interested in nature.”

Volume XXVIII, Number 21 May 21 - May 28, 2020 bayweekly.com

On a Thursday morning under normal circumstances, my children would be at school and daycare and I’d be catching up on work.

Instead, we’ve enjoyed free entry to a county park, exercise, family time, and a nature lesson. At moments like this, I can’t complain about living in the era of COVID-19. To be honest, there are things I’ll miss about this time, and habits I’ve picked up that I hope to keep.

As Calvert and Anne Arundel counties begin to reopen for business and play, I feel a sudden urge to write down the behaviors I want to continue from our stay-at-home life. Some things that come to mind: visiting a new park with the kids rather than buying tickets to an overstimulating entertainment venue; planning our weekly grocery trips carefully so we won’t have to “run in for a few things” throughout the week; making crafts out of egg cartons, toilet paper tubes and paper plates when the kids get bored instead of buying new toys.

Your Say Captain Sensible Dear Editor, I am fed up with the constantly changing regulations regarding striped bass fishing in the Bay. Therefore, this is an open letter to Maryland DNR and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission.

CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE CONTAINS COMMON SENSE. MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO BUREAUCRATS. Years ago I wrote a tongue-in-cheek article about the vanishing crab population in the Chesapeake. It centered around a group of commercial watermen discussing the decline of the blue crab. Their solution? Simple. Stop catching female crabs. Several years after that article was published Maryland DNR banned the possession of female crabs by recreational crabbers and limited the number of females that could be harvested by commercial crabbers. Whether that article carried weight in that decision will never be known but the crab population did slowly rise.

That said, I hereby propose four common sense solutions to the declining striped bass, a.k.a., Rockfish, population.

1. Ban gill netting in Virginia waters.

This is a no-brainer so it should be obvious even

I’m not the only one making small changes for the better.

Positive trends are emerging all over the community, and Bay Weekly is writing about them in hopes they’ll stick around. The “pandemic garden,” a modern-day version of the World War II Victory Garden, has caught on so fast that seed suppliers can’t quite keep up.

People stuck at home have also used their time to foster or adopt pets that would otherwise be living the shelter life. And of course, we’ve embraced all things outdoorsy: walking, biking, fishing and boating. (Bay Bulletin continues to update the easing of restrictions on Bay recreation this week.)

That’s the pandemic effect I hope sticks around longest of all: families, friends and neighbors enjoying the land, water and spring wildlife Chesapeake Country has to offer. Like my pre-kindergarten-aged son, you just might get really interested in nature. p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

to politicians.

2. Ban all Catch & Release striped bass fishing.

This practice strains the fish and increases the likelihood of its death, not to mention the unknown number of fish that are gut hooked and die regardless of release.

3. Ban all Rockfish Tournaments.

Instead, create Blue Catfish or Snakehead tournaments. Any invasive species can be targeted but leave the striped bass alone.

4. Any rockfish that is gut hooked is a ‘keeper’.

I’m all for establishing a minimum size for striped bass, however a fish that has a hook and lure in its throat or stomach is not going to survive. You are, in essence, throwing a dead fish overboard in order to catch a legal size fish. If you catch that legal fish, you now have two dead fish; one in the water and one in the cooler. If inspected by authorities and the undersized fish is found gut hooked, there is no fine. However, that is your fish for that day, period.

I sincerely hope that these basic ideas are not too complicated for the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to comprehend. But then again, when has government acted upon common sense? ­—CAPT. ALLEN DELANEY, PRINCE FREDERICK, MD

“We’re prepared to sue the EPA because it’s failing to enforce the law, walking away from its obligation.”

chesapeakebaymagazine.com/baybulletin

—WASHINGTON, D.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL KARL RACINE

BAY FOUNDATION & DOWNSTREAM STATES PLAN TO SUE EPA OVER CLEAN WATER ACT he attorneys general of Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., together with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and other groups, intend to sue the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

T

A Notice of Intent (NOI) announced Monday claims the EPA failed to enforce Pennsylvania and New York’s requirements within the Clean Water Act. In addition to the Bay Foundation and the three attorneys general, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, the Maryland Watermen’s Association, and Virginia farmer/conservationist Bobby Whitescarver are partners on the NOI. Under the Chesapeake Bay’s Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), a pollution diet set by EPA’s Chesapeake Bay

Program, each Bay state or jurisdiction must commit to certain nutrient reduction goals in order to reach a larger Bay restoration goal by 2025 across the watershed. Those reduction commitments must be submitted periodically as Watershed Implementation Plans.

At issue are the most recent plans submitted by the watershed’s two northernmost states, New York and Pennsylvania, which reportedly fall short of their commitments and haven’t faced any repercussions for it.

The Susquehanna River in Bainbridge, Pa. Photo: dicklyon/Wikimedia Commons The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) says New York’s “nitrogen shortfall exceeded one million pounds annually and failed to adequately identify funding sources” to meet its agricultural and stormwater commitments. As for Pennsylvania, CBF says its latest plan is better than past plans, including its county-level priorities. But, the environmental group says, Pennsylva-

nia’s plan would still only achieve about 73 percent of its nitrogen-reduction commitment, and is “underfunded by nearly $324 million a year.”

EPA must approve or reject each Watershed Implementation Plan, and is the only entity who can impose consequences on states that don’t meet their obligations. In this case, the partners in the Notice of Intent say EPA hasn’t held the upstream states accountable.

“We’re prepared to sue the EPA because it’s failing to enforce the law, walking away from its obligation,” says Washington, D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine.

Racine says without federal enforcement of the states’ pollution limits, it will be impossible to reach the goal of a restored Chesapeake Bay. Now that the Notice of Intent has been filed, EPA has 60 days to resolve the issue out of court before a lawsuit may be filed. CBF President Will Baker says it seems unlikely EPA will reverse course.

In a statement to Bay Bulletin, an EPA spokesperson says, “These claims [in the NOI] are without merit. Since establishing the Chesapeake Bay TMDL in 2010, as part of a multi-state coalition, EPA has met all of its legal requirements with respect to the TMDL’s implementation, including its recent evaluation of the States’ and DC’s Phase III WIPs [Watershed Implementation Plans].”

EPA also says it’s securing more federal funds to prevent some of the nitrogen overload. In the same statement, the spokesperson announced “the availability of additional funding that will be used to address nonpoint contributions of nitrogen to the Bay.” The agency stands by its fulfillment of its role in Chesapeake Bay Program.

“EPA has consistently provided the Bay States and the District with the resources and technical assistance they need to do the job and has maintained a steadfast commitment to meeting the TMDL’s goals and targets,” the statement reads.

As for CBF, Baker calls the Notice of Intent “a very last resort.”

“EPA holds the reins” in keeping Pennsylvania and New York accountable to their commitments, he says. “If it’s not done now, it may never be.”

STUDY: BAY ROCKFISH DIE AT TWICE THE RATE OF THOSE IN ATLANTIC triped bass that stay year-round in the Chesapeake Bay are dying at nearly twice the rate of those that migrate each year to the Atlantic Ocean, a new study has found. The cause or causes aren’t clear, but the lead researcher said that it needs to be addressed to right a troubling decline in the prized finfish.

An electronic tagging study led by scientists from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science found that large mature striped bass leave the Bay every year to roam coastal waters until the next spring. Those smaller, younger fish that remain in the Chesapeake died off at the rate of 70% a year.

“The mortality rate is alarming,” said Dave Secor, a professor at the UMCES Chesapeake Biological Laboratory in Solomons. “If fish are dying at greater than 50% or 60% a year, that’s a problem.”

The study, published Thursday in the journal PLOS One, appears likely to draw further attention to disease and overfishing, two suspects in the decline of striped bass, also known as rockfish, which are among the most sought-after fish in the Chesapeake and along the Atlantic coast.

UMCES scientists implanted acoustic transmitters in 100 striped bass from the Potomac River and tracked their movements over four years. Signals emitted by their tags were picked up as they swam by receivers stationed in the Bay and along the coast—a kind of E-Z Pass network for fish, as Secor described it.

The telemetry data revealed that fish 32 inches and longer left the Bay as soon as spawning ended in spring and migrated as a group north to nearshore waters off Massachusetts, where

MD. BOATING UPDATE: RACES, FISHING TOURNAMENTS ARE ALLOWED hen Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced he was lifting the state’s stay-at-home order and relaxing some restrictions, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) also relaxed some of the restrictions in place for Bay recreation.

In Maryland, boaters are now allowed to go out with people outside of their immediate family for the first time since the boating ban went into effect—as long as the number of people on board stays under 10. “That said, social distancing guidelines are the same on the water as they are on land, including that you should stay six feet away from someone with whom you don’t reside,” DNR spokesman Gregg Bortz tells Bay Bulletin.

When we sought clarification, Bortz confirmed that raft-ups are “no longer expressly prohibited,” so long as there are no more than 10 people total, according to state law.

Boat races and fishing tournaments are also allowed “so long as no more than 10 people are in a gathering at one time, or may be held virtually.”

Some tournaments are already held virtually, like the Boatyard Bar & Grill Opening Day Tournament, where you measure by photographs, thus avoiding the weigh-in interaction.

Marinas can reopen and pumpout services can resume, but both must follow “best management practices from the Departments of Commerce and Health.” At marinas, for example, common areas like pools, gyms, and inside restaurants are still not allowed to open. There’s no congregating on piers or in parking lots, and employees must

W

maintain six feet while hauling or launching boats.

State boat ramps and fishing piers are open as long as people follow social distancing.

The changes are posted in DNR’s most recent update to the agency’s guidelines for outdoor recreation during the COVID-19 pandemic: https://news.maryland.gov/dnr/2020/05/06/frequentlyasked-questions-about-governor-hogans-

stay-at-home-order/.

In Virginia, the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) urged fishing tournament organizers to cancel tournaments as long as the Commonwealth was under a state of emergency, but tournaments were never banned as DGIF doesn’t issue permits to approve tournaments under normal circumstances.

they are a favorite target of recreational anglers. They headed south in late fall, returning to the Potomac by the next spring to spawn.

That migratory pattern is well known, but the tagging study helped scientists get a firmer handle on which fish migrate, which do not and where they wind up.

“The scale of this is unique,” Secor said, because it relied on collaboration with a number of partners. “We couldn’t have done this study otherwise.”

While it’s been thought that only large female striped bass migrate out of the Bay, Secor said the study found that larger tagged male fish also joined the exodus.

Over time, the receiver network stopped detecting signals from some fish, which the scientists took as evidence

that they had died. The much lower 37% mortality rate seen for migratory striped bass suggests something is happening to those fish staying in the Bay. The mortality rates seen in the study are similar to the estimates the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission relied on in determining in 2019 that striped bass have been overfished in recent years. The Congressionally authorized panel, which regulates migratory fish in coastal waters from Maine to Florida, called for new fishing restrictions to reduce striped bass mortality by 18%.

Of particular concern to fisheries managers was catch-and-release, a popular sport fishing practice, because scientists have found that a significant percentage of fish die after being hooked and returned to the water. That mortal-

ity is highest in summer, when warm water and lower oxygen levels add to the stress of being caught and handled.

The restrictions imposed in the Bay, which halve the allowed daily recreational catch to one fish of 19 inches or longer, have been a bitter pill for anglers.

In Maryland, the fishing season is also closed for two weeks in late August, when the water tends to be warmer—though not as warm as in July or early August.

The study’s authors suggest the high Bay mortality could be linked to mycobacteria infections, which have been found to afflict the vast majority of striped bass in the Chesapeake.

A different tagging study of resident striped bass estimated that 64% of them died in 2017, similar to the 70% mortality rate observed the latest research.

The die-off seen in 2017 was attributed mainly to mycobacteria, but Secor said the frequent catch-and-release of fish that are too small to be kept may also be playing a role in increasing mortality. Even if most fish survive being caught and released with care, he noted, that fish may get hooked more than once.

“If you’re bringing a fish up to the boat several times … cumulatively it can be significant,” Secor said.

MR. TRASH WHEEL SETS GUINNESS WORLD RECORD he Baltimore Harbor’s solar-powered trash interceptor, better known as Mr. Trash Wheel, now holds a Guinness World Record.

The trash wheel, which collects garbage and debris that dumps into the harbor at the Jones Falls outfall, moves it onto a conveyor belt and into dumpsters that a barge later carries away. Those dumpsters full of trash never make it into the Inner Harbor and the Bay. In the Guinness World Records 2020 Edition, Mr. Trash Wheel (popular for its big, googly eyes) set the record for “Most Floating Debris Removed by a Trash Interceptor in One Month.” The trash wheel accomplished the feat by pulling 63.3 tons of debris from the mouth of the Jones Falls during the month of April in 2017.

It’s impressive to hear how effectively the trash wheel is, but it’s also an indicator of the eye-popping amount of litter that makes it down the Jones Falls.

T

ness World Record, photo courtesy of Healthy Harbor Initiative.

Adam Lindquist, director of Waterfront Partnership’s Healthy Harbor Initiative, calls the world record a “bittersweet milestone”.

“Our ultimate goal is to put Mr. Trash Wheel out of a job, and for all Baltimoreans to understand how litter impacts our environmental health.”

Mr. Trash Wheel was the first of the four trash interceptors installed in Baltimore waterways, invented and built by Clearwater Mills LLC of Pasadena.

6 • BAY WEEKLY • May 21 - May 28, 2020

The trash wheel’s collections are directly linked to the amount of rainfall: the heavier the rainfall, the more trash and debris is collected. The numbers have not reached the record amount in 2017 in the three years since.

Lindquist calls that a positive sign, “which we attribute to increases in street sweeping and the distribution of residential trash cans … The recent passage of legislation banning foam containers and single use bags should result in a further decline in the amount of trash we collect,” he says.

Since it was installed in May 2014, Mr. Trash Wheel has collected over 2.5 million pounds of trash and debris from upstream areas in Baltimore County and lower stream areas in Baltimore City. Situated near a water taxi stop between the city’s Four Seasons Hotel and MECU Pavilion outdoor concert venue, the trash wheel gets frequent attention from tourists.

Chesapeake (Slowly) Reopens for Business

BY KATHY KNOTTS

ith Governor Larry Hogan’s lifting of the stay-at-home order last week, area businesses begin the long-awaited, but slow, process of reopening retail stores and services with precautions.

Some breathed a sigh of relief, while others are being cautious while trying to suss out the details of a complicated patchwork of rules.

Some breathed a sigh of relief, while others are being cautious while trying to suss out the details of a complicated patchwork of rules.

Calvert County is following the process outlined in the state’s Road to Recovery Phase 1 plan, calling for reduced capacity, physical distancing and wearing masks.

Medart Galleries in Dunkirk is among those businesses opening their doors after eight weeks of being shuttered. The art gallery, framing and gift shop will open with slightly reduced hours and safety precautions. Staff will disinfect surfaces between customers, encourage appointments and offer curbside pickup. They will also wear and sell masks.

“Next week, we will be giving David Gildersleeve masks away with purchases of his artwork,” says Teresa Schrodel, gallery director.

is taking extra precautions such as screening eye patients on-site, taking medical history over the phone, having patients wait in their cars instead of the waiting room, limiting the number of people in their building, and requiring masks.

“We opened to routine care technically last Friday, but I wanted to do a soft launch to get our core employees trained with the new protocols,” says Dr. Rose Susel. The optometrist is lightly scheduling exams at this time.

“We are looking forward to seeing our patients again,” adds Susel.

In Anne Arundel County, the move to reopen is on hold as County Executive Steuart Pittman opts to wait longer before putting Phase 1 into action. His Executive Order states that the county has not met certain criteria set by the local Health Officer. Retail businesses that were formerly closed may reopen for curbside activity, a model that consignment stores in Deale are adopting.

A Vintage Deale and Second Wind Consignments are utilizing social media “window shopping” to entice buyers. Teri Wilson of Second Wind and Jane Walter of Vintage Deale are posting photos of items to their Facebook pages so customers can shop remotely and then pick-up curbside at the store.

Annapolis is taking a different approach than Anne Arundel County as a whole. Last weekend, businesses within the city limits were allowed to reopen and a limited number of customers were able to go inside the shops.

Art galleries were given permission to reopen, granted they abide by the safety precautions.

Gallery owner Cynthia McBride is grateful. “I am so relieved to be open; it is relief tinged with caution and hope,” said the owner of both McBride Gallery in downtown Annapolis and Benfield Gallery in Severna Park.

McBride hopes to recover some of the momentum she was experiencing before the shutdown.

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Pandemic gardens trending

BY KATHY KNOTTS

ith the national mood feeling a bit like a pre-World War era, Americans have returned to planting Victory gardens. These home gardens full of vegetables, fruits and herbs were encouraged to bolster the diets and the morale of those at home during a time of rationing and to take pressure off the national food supply.

The coronavirus pandemic pinched our own supply of food with outbreaks at meat packing plants, an increased demand on food banks and pantries and reduced trips to grocery stores, making it harder and less convenient to get fresh foods. Enter the rise of the pandemic garden.

Area garden centers have seen a

The sudden demand led many seed companies to halt new orders because of the over-

whelming surge. Online retailers Johnny’s Seeds and Burpee Seeds sold out of stock rapidly, but do not fear, local suppliers say it’s only temporary.

“We have plenty of seeds,” says Ray Greenstreet of Greenstreet Gardens.

“But yes, it’s been a bit crazy. Sales of vegetable and herb seeds and plants have been way up.”

Homestead Gardens has also seen a significant surge in customer’s purchasing gardening and farm supplies over the past few months. “Our annuals department has had trouble keeping herbs and veggies in stock both because of the customer demand and limited supply from vendors,” says KT Wallin, brand marketing manager for Homestead. “We’re starting to face even more supply issues as vendors have little to no inventory from facility closures. Even this week we’re having trouble sourcing items like topsoil and compost for related reasons.”

Linda Mann, owner of Shades of the Bay in downtown Annapolis, expresses the same sentiment. “This week should normally be our busiest week of the year with (USNA) Commissioning, but now, we are closing early ... I think it will take us several years to bounce back from what we lost while closed.”

Mann, who has been selling sunglasses in Annapolis since 1996, says her customers and employees are her top priorities, however. “I want my customers and my employees to feel safe.

And we will do whatever it takes. Even if we have to close down again at some point, that’s what we will do.”

Shades of the Bay will require all customers to use hand sanitizer and wear a mask before entering the shop.

“We may be the cleanest store on Main Street,” says Mann. “Everything a customer touches has to be sanitized before it is put back on display. We are constantly cleaning everything from the credit card machine to the counters and mirrors. We are using UV wands over all of the merchandise... and it’s costing me money to keep everything sanitized.”

Mann was able to hire back employees that had been laid off, but she hates the fact that many were making more on unemployment than at their retail job. She is happy to have them back, even if the future is uncertain.

“I think a lot is going to depend on what this virus does, it all depends on the virus. If it starts to go away, I think people will feel more comfortable going into retail environments,” says Mann. “People have to feel safe and once they feel safe again, they will find a new normal and we will adjust to what that is.”

It’s that attitude of determination that many small businesses are clinging to.

“It will be slow and steady; it will be many, many months to recover, maybe years,” says Cynthia McBride. “We will have to dig deep for the resolve, patience, grit, and a renewed creative ingenuity to get our customers to come back. Some never will.”

Greenstreet says the early rush to purchase garden items stemmed from a lot of people being home with time on their hands and a desire to grow their own food. “But then Mother Nature threw us a major curveball with the weather.”

Damp and chilly days led to some damage to those early plantings, but there’s still plenty of time for gardeners to start planting. “There’s not a seed shortage, there’s just a shortage of employees able to process the orders,” says Greenstreet.

Local nurseries will continue to plant, grow and sell vegetables and herbs all summer, the harvest just may be a little later due to the weather.

In all, Greenstreet says to imagine the seed demand surge a bit like Amazon. “What you used to be able to get in two days, now takes ten ... If you haven’t planted yet, you haven’t missed the boat, just get out there and get started.”

“We’ve already been getting quite a bit of calls for Memorial Day weekend and the first couple of weeks in June,” says Gail Crosby, general manager for Resort Rentals, an Ocean City-based vacation rental provider.

Short-term lodging businesses were banned from renting to any person not deemed essential by the town in response to the COVID-19 crisis.

Retail establishments are opening at 50% capacity and restaurants are offering carry-out and delivery only.

And lounging by the pool? There has yet to be a decision announced regarding if pools may operate.

Stores may be open, but Crosby and her staff remind guests to come wellstocked for this vacation.

hile humans hunkered down under stay-at-home orders and animal shelters scrambled to find ways to care for pets in their charge during the COVID-19 crisis, a silver lining emerged.

The community opened their homes to animals in need—temporarily or permanently. And a barn cat named Karma landed softly.

Barn cats, also known as working

cats, come to shelters in need of a home but do not make good indoor pets, either because they strongly prefer life in the great outdoors or do not use a litter box. Most don’t find their way out of a shelter quickly—if at all.

Yet, in the midst of the pandemic, these cats found homes.

“During the month of April, we adopted out 10 working cats,” says Kim Stephens, manager of Tri County Ani-

mal Shelter in Hughesville. “In March, we adopted out seven.”

Elizabeth Conley of Hollywood opened up her home to Karma.

“I saw her on Facebook and had always wanted a cute tortoiseshell cat,” Conley says. “Plus, my cat Willow needed a friend to help with working off the rodent population and Karma was listed as a working kitty. Working cats easily earn their keep.”

Karma has settled right into her new family.

“It’s going great,” Conley says.

“Karma is funny, playful and follows me around like a dog. She likes to chase and play with the cat-friendly dogs.”

Adjustments & adoptions When Anne Arundel County began sheltering at home, all county buildings closed to the public, says Robin Catlett, administrator for Animal Care and Control of Anne Arundel County in

HOME Millersville. “We are an essential service, so while the public hasn’t been allowed in our building, we have been keeping animals moving.”

Shelters had to find ways to care for animals under the new parameters with reduced staffing and less help from dedicated volunteers. Animal control had to switch to an appointmentsonly model.

Potential adopters could view the animals on the shelter’s website or Facebook page and make an appointment to

meet a specific animal.

“If a citizen is coming into the building then they will get their temperature taken,” Stephens says. “Most business is handled outside.”

Shelters called on the community to take animals into their homes on a temporary basis as foster pets.

“We saw an increase in people willing to foster an animal for us,” Anne Arundel County’s Catlett says. “The majority of the animals in our care are currently in foster homes. We got

tremendous support from the public and more than doubled the size of our foster program.”

Many of those who opened their homes as fosters soon discovered they wanted a more permanent arrangement.

Chesapeake Bay Media’s executive VP Tara Davis has opened her home to multiple fosters over the past few weeks.

“It’s a fun experience that we really enjoy,” says Davis. “It’s not always easy

to give them back at the end. We have ‘foster failed’ before, meaning we chose to adopt—once. We have helped place a few of our fosters with friends so it’s cool that we get to keep up with some of them and watch them grow. It’s a lot of work sometimes, and feels like having a newborn in the house again with some of the pups, but the puppy snuggles are the best.”

Catlett herself fostered a new addition, thinking it was just a temporary situation.

“I adopted the parakeet I took home to foster,” Catlett says. “Biddie loves apples and he gets to fly in our house for exercise—when doors are closed, of course.”

Animals with special needs were able to find their forever home during this time.

April Burgess and Oreo Cookie, the dog she adopted from the Anne Arundel County SPCA.

A break for rescue groups The increase in adoptions and foster homes means rescue groups have not had to take in as many of the animals they usually take to relieve overburdened shelters.

“Many dogs are getting adopted and the shelters don’t need our help as much,” says Barbara Scanlan, canine manager for Calvert Animal Welfare League.

The Prince Frederick-based animal welfare group has taken advantage of that reduced need to complete repairs to their building.

“We were able to schedule needed foundation repairs to our dog kennel area,” Scanlan says.

And newly unburdened shelters can now extend a helping hand to others in need.

“Finding homes for the animals in our shelter allowed us to help another shelter that was completely closed during this pandemic,” Tri County’s Stephens says. “We were able to assist Calvert Animal Shelter by moving some of their animals to our shelter and then placing in forever homes.”

The changes made during this time of crisis will improve the future for these shelters. For example, animal control officers in Anne Arundel each carry a cell phone now, which means reuniting lost animals with their owners faster.

While the animals are the big winners during the pandemic, their caregivers have also been rewarded with a renewed belief in the power of community.

“The community has been incredible in helping our homeless pets,” Tri County’s Stephens says. “My hope is that this will continue even after we get through this crisis.” ‫ﵭ‬

The exhibit, Island Life: Changing Culture, Changing Shorelines, features photos that reveal how the changing environment is affecting the cultures and shorelines of inhabited and formerly inhabited offshore islands in the Bay. Fleming, well-known in the region, discovered his passion for photography upon inheriting a hand-medown Nikon film camera at age 13 from his father, a former National Geographic photographer. Fleming immediately developed an affinity to looking at life through the camera lens, leading him on an exciting journey and career as a professional photographer. His first book, Working the Water—a photographic narrative of the Chesapeake Bay seafood industry—is in its third printing and his next book based on this exhibit, Island Life, is expected to be released in the fall of 2021. www.cbmmislandlife.org

Trophy Fish of Another Color

he fish on my line moved off rather casually, making me think that perhaps it did not know it was hooked.

Freezing the turning reel spool with my thumb, I decided to test the mystery critter’s mettle ... big mistake. The creature stopped, shook its head, and then moved smartly off with the eager deliberation of a freight train preparing to take on a long and arduous grade.

The conditions that morning, we had calculated, would be near perfect for big fish. Low tide was scheduled to occur right around first light. And as it

T

usually took about two more hours before the tidal current completely reversed its direction, we expected the incoming surge to begin as we arrived on site.

My light tackle partner in this trophy endeavor, Tom Schneider, and I had secured the best possible baits that morning from our favorite commercial angler, Leo James who had netted the menhaden mere hours before. We also had two gallons of his recently ground chum (same fish) in frozen buckets in the stern of Tom’s 18-foot center console Boston Whaler.

By the calendar, the rockfish spawn had peaked weeks ago, so the larger fish were already leaving or had already left for the ocean. We were trying to plan everything as thoroughly as possible for one last try at them and the tidal currents, south of Hackett’s Point, looked to be just right for our efforts.

Tides can be predicted with consistent accuracy, but there are additional factors that can make actual conditions quite different from predictions.

The Bay is 190 miles long and varies from five to 25 miles in width and tidal currents and their vortices have to move up and down the full length of that irregular watercourse. There are five major and many smaller rivers and streams flowing into this estuary. This

FISHFINDER: The second spring rockfish season has started with the minimum legal size falling to 19 inches but the possession limit remaining at one fish. Last year channel catfish made their presence known, coming down the Susquehanna and through the Conowingo Dam outflow. This year, blue catfish have become even more widely distributed. Introduced in the Chesapeake’s James River by Virginia years ago these potential monsters (Virginia’s freshwater record is over 140 pounds) have excellent table value but also enormous appetites. The blue cats are taking fresh menhaden baits fished on the bottom but they can also be tempted with anything from fresh chicken breast to chicken livers, big minnows, nightcrawlers, bloodworms, and supermarket shrimp. Their fillets have firm, white meat and excellent flavor. The rockfish bite is best from chumming right now but as the schools form up, jigging should soon become very effective. Trophy sized rock are mostly done spawning and have gone back to their migratory routes in the Atlantic but a few holdouts are still being boated all around the Bay. The larger fish will become ever scarcer as summer takes hold—get out there now for a chance at them. time of year, we also see constant winds and often copious spring rainfall.

This is undoubtedly why on that morning last week the current was still racing out, when, according to the tide schedule, it should have been coming in. Being nothing if not flexible, we set up our chumming operations with the conditions we had and almost immediately had a lovely 27-inch rockfish on the line.

Tom handled him nicely and then released him, being under the 35-inch minimum size for the trophy season.

Though it was a great start, unfortunately, the tide again inexplicably changed, screeching to dead slack with no more rockfish for over an hour.

Deciding to move locations for better conditions, we picked up our gear, and Tom motored north past the Bay Bridge. We circled widely, looking for some promising marks and a moving

tide and that’s when I eventually encountered the big beast at the end of my line.

It wasn’t a rockfish. After an extensive struggle, it took the two of us to lift the giant blue catfish over the gunnel and onboard.

We soon discovered that we were over an acre-sized horde of the hulking cats, hugging the bottom and dimpling Tom’s finder screen with a solid blanket of their marks below us. In very short order we had the large main cooler, then the spare fish box stuffed with the big, tasty devils.

Astounded and almost overwhelmed by this mother lode of the giant blues we soon ended the day and, while only slightly disappointed at the absence of any big striped bass, we were enthralled by the wild variety with which the Chesapeake had surprised us. ‫ﵭ‬ W E D N E S D AY

Native Honeysuckle Brings Color and Visitors to the Garden O ur native honeysuckle, Lonicera sempervirens, is a wonderful plant to grow if you want to guarantee hummingbirds visit your garden.

Being a vine, honeysuckle contributes well to the layering effect that is so important in a balanced garden. Vines add unique opportunities to add color where you normally can’t reach. They can be used for screening and privacy if grown vertically.

Trumpet honeysuckle can also be grown horizontally on a fence for a big splash of orange-red color.

Trumpet honeysuckle can take up little space at ground level and provide a sense of enclosure depending on what you train it on. The more sun it is exposed to, the deeper red the flowers become.

I’ve been enjoying the honeysuckle that I trained up one side of an arch interspersed with climbing roses and vining clematis, throughout April and May. The flowers have not opened yet but will be a brilliant orange-red. Once the main flush is over, it will continue to bloom all summer and that’s when the hummingbirds come. This hon-

eysuckle’s long trumpetlike flowers are typically coral-red but yellow varieties are also available. Don’t confuse those with the wildly invasive Japanese honeysuckle which is good for honeysuckle sipping.

Trumpet honeysuckle, whose twining vines reach up to 20 feet, grows in moist well-drained soil in sun to partial shade. The simple leaves are one to three inches long with dark bluish-green above and white waxy below. In summer the fruit is a round, red berry. The flowers are an excellent source of nectar for hummingbirds.

The ruby-throated hummingbird is the only hummer species that regularly nests east of the Mississippi River. It’s better to provide nectar-rich plants for these birds as opposed to feeders with sugar water.

Trumpet honeysuckle also produces pollen for bees and butterflies. It makes a splashing display when planted with ornamental clematis in shades of blue. ‫ﵭ‬

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Meet the Largest Moth in North America I n the late spring and early summer, a giant reddish-orange moth can be found fluttering around the bright lights of buildings. They emerge after a two-year rest underground and have only a few weeks of life. The royal moth (aka the regal moth) is the largest moth you can find in Maryland.

With a wingspan up to six inches and a body as big as my little finger, this moth has several unusual characteristics. When they emerge from the ground, they do not feed or drink. They have lost the ability to swallow. Their only objective is to reproduce. The female moth attracts males with pheromones and males will follow from up to miles away.

After the female lays her eggs, she dies. The eggs are usually laid on the leaves of hickory or walnut trees and the caterpillars that emerge are incredibly horrible looking, earning them the nickname Hickory Horned Devils.

Over a summer the devils go through four molts with each variation making them look more hideous and dangerous. At their fourth and

16 • BAY WEEKLY • May 21 - May 28, 2020

final molt, they are four inches long and have several sword-like projections from just behind their head and long soft spines at the end of their body. They are green with little green triangular patterns on their sides.

Before returning to the ground, they will turn a blue-green color and burrow six inches into the earth. There they form a resting chamber and spend two years pupating into the moth.

As forests are lost to development and insecticide use increases, the royal moth becomes collateral damage. The May issue of National Geographic magazine describes the tremendous decline in the insect biomass since 1970. In Germany, the loss is 70 percent. It is easy then to know why the insectivores, like birds, have also begun to disappear by the same amount.

I have said it before, but it’s vital to plant native plants as much as possible and use little or no insecticide or herbicide. Leave a section of your yard or park on the wilder side, a spot that doesn’t need to be mowed or trimmed or sprayed. ‫ﵭ‬

HULU: The Patriot After seeing too much bloodshed in the French-Indian War, Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) swore to be a peaceful man. Though he sympathizes with his fellow colonials, he’s reluctant to join the Revolutionary War. When his son joins the American army, he holds fast to his resolve.

Soon, however, the war comes to Martin’s doorstep. Vicious British Dragoon Col. William Tavington (Jason Isaacs) burns Martin’s house to the ground, killing members of his family. No longer able to sit idly by, Martin joins the fray. Using tactics that subvert traditional British fighting, he begins to turn the tide of the war. As Martin’s bloody rampage continues, Tavington circles closer.

A fictionalized version of several Revolutionary War characters, The Patriot is a big showy war film that’s fun to watch, even if it’s not historically accurate. Gibson and Heath Ledger lead an ensemble cast in this patriotic epic, which will help you understand just how amazing it was for America to win independence from the greatest military in the world. If you can’t wait for Hamilton to start screening on Disney+, The Patriot also celebrates the men and women who helped found our nation.

ting a spin on it. Animation dulls the horrors of war, and there’s plenty of silly comedy to keep little ones engaged. Watch Valiant with your kids, then Google the Dickin Medal, which was established in the 1940s for heroic animals who have served in the military.

KANOPY: The Vietnam War While World War II was viewed as a great American military victory, Vietnam is met with more controversy. A wildly unpopular war in the states, Vietnam was a conflict that changed a generation, whether they went to war or not.

In this ten-part documentary, The Vietnam War, directors Ken Burns and Lynn Novick chronicle the Vietnam experience at home and abroad. The film interviews witnesses who fought and protested, learning how the war changed their lives; examines the political machinations that brought the country into and out of the war; and looks into how the battles affected the people of Vietnam.

Featuring digitally remastered footage from the war as well as home movies, audio recordings, and archival photography, The Vietnam War is a deeply nuanced look at a very controversial conflict. The documentary takes pains to humanize the soldiers who fought and tell the truth about their experience. Like most of Burns’ documentaries, The Vietnam War immerses you in the culture of the time. This is a film that doesn’t glorify or deify the soldiers fighting but simply shows the human toll wars take on both sides.

Great Documentary * R * 16h 30 mins.

This Memorial Day, it may not be safe to host a cookout, but you can still pay tribute to those who sacrificed for our country by learning about the battles that shaped our nation, and the brave men and women who have given so much so we can enjoy our freedom. ‫ﵭ‬

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for,” writes author Barbara Kingsolver. “And the most you can do is live inside that hope.

Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.” According to my analysis of the astrological omens, that is exactly the work you should be doing right now, Gemini. Everything good that can and should happen for you in the coming months depends on you defining what you hope for, and then doing whatever’s necessary to live inside that hope.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The periodic arrivals of “natural disruption” in our everyday routines has a divine purpose, writes Yoruba priest Awó Falokun Fatunmbi. It is “to shake consciousness loose from complacency and rigid thinking.” To be vital, he says, our perception of truth must be constantly evolving, and never stagnant. “Truth is a way of looking at self and World,” Fatunmbi declares. “It is a state of being rather than an act of knowing.” Many Westerners find this hard to understand because they regard truth as a “fixed set of rules or dogma,” or as a body of “objective facts.” But here’s the good news: Right now, you Cancerians are especially receptive to Fatunmbi’s alternative understanding of truth—and likely to thrive by adopting it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Novelist and war correspondent Martha Gellhorn departed this life in 1998, but she articulated a message that’s important for you to hear right now. She wrote, “People often say, with pride, ‘I’m not interested in politics.’ They might as well say, ‘I’m not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future or any future.’” Gel-

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): To generate an ounce of pure cocaine, you must collect 52 pounds of raw coca leaf and work hard to transform it. But please don’t do that. Fate won’t be on your side if you do. However, I will suggest that you consider undertaking a metaphorically comparable process—by gathering a sizable amount of raw material or basic stuff that will be necessary to produce the small treasure or precious resource that you require.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Excellence does not require perfection,” wrote Aries author Henry James. Now I’m conveying this brilliant counsel to you—just in time for the season when it will make good sense to strive for shining excellence without getting bogged down in a debilitating quest for perfection. Have fun re-committing yourself to doing the best you can, Aries, even as you refuse to be tempted by the unprofitable lure of absolute purity and juvenile forms of idealism.

horn added, “If we mean to keep control over our world and lives, we must be interested in politics.” In my opinion, her advice is always applicable to all of us, but it’s especially crucial for you to meditate on right now. You’ll be wise to upgrade your interest and involvement in the big cultural and political developments that are impacting your personal destiny.

ous, earthy. But they were alike in being the most innovative American poets of their time, and equally transgressive in their disregard for standard poetic forms. If there were such a thing as time travel, I’d send one of you Sagittarians back to set up a meeting between them.

Acts of innovative blending and creative unifying will be your specialties in the coming weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to author and teacher Marianne Williamson, “Ego says, ‘Once everything falls into place, I’ll feel peace.’

Spirit says, ‘Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place.’” I think the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to take Williamson’s advice seriously, Virgo. How? By giving control of your life to Spirit as you find your peace. In saying this, I’m not implying that Ego is bad or wrong. In fact, I think Ego is a crucial asset for you, and I’m hoping that in recent months you have been lifting your Ego to a higher, finer state of confidence and competence than ever before. But right now I think you should authorize Spirit to run the show for a while. If you do, it will bless you with good surprises.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The fictional character Sherlock Holmes (born January 6, and thus a Capricorn) is a brilliant logician and acute observer who has astonishing crime-solving skills. On the other hand, according to his friend Dr. Watson, he “knows next to nothing” about “contemporary literature, philosophy, and politics.” So he’s not a well-rounded person.

He’s smart in some ways, dumb in others.

Most of us fit that description. We are both brilliant and ignorant; talented and inept; interesting and boring. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to hone and cultivate the less mature aspects of your own nature. I bet you’ll reap rich rewards by doing so.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Snatching the eternal out of the desperately fleeting is the great magic trick of human existence.” Playwright Tennessee Williams said that, and now I’m conveying his insight to you—just in time for you to dramatically embody it.

According to my astrological analysis, you now have more power than usual to accomplish this magic trick: to create something permanent in the midst of the transitory; to make an indelible mark on a process that has previously been characterized by restless permutations; to initiate a bold move that you will forever remember and be remembered for.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the course of his 73 years on the planet, Scorpio author Paul Valéry (1871–1945) wrote more than 20 books.

But between the ages of 25 and 45, he passed through a phase he called the “great silence.” During that time, he quit writing and published nothing. Afterwards, he returned to his life’s work and was nominated 12 times for a Nobel Prize. Although your own version of a great silence is less extreme than his, I’m happy to announce that you will emerge from it sooner than you imagine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’m sad that my two favorite 19th-century poets were unfamiliar with each other’s poetry. Walt Whitman was 11 years older than Emily Dickinson, but didn’t know her work. Dickinson had heard of Whitman, but didn’t read his stuff. Their styles were indeed very different: hers intimate, elliptical, psychologically acute; his expansive, gregari-

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “People become like what they love,” observed theologian St. Catherine of Siena. That’ll be an interesting truth for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. I suspect you will attract experiences that are clear reflections of the kind of love you have cultivated and expressed for quite some time. You’ll be blessed in ways similar to the ways you have blessed. You’ll be challenged to face questions about love that you have not been dealing with. And here’s a promise for the future: You’ll have the opportunity to refine and deepen your approach to love so as to transform yourself into more of the person you’d like to become.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Humanity is a mystery,” wrote author Fyodor Dostoevsky. “The mystery needs to be unraveled, and if you spend your whole life unraveling it, you haven’t wasted your time. I am studying that mystery because I want to be a complete human being.” I love this tender perspective on the preciousness of the Great Riddle we’re all immersed in. It’s especially useful and apropos for you to adopt right now, Pisces, because you are undergoing an unusually deep and intense communion with the mystery. As you marinate, you shouldn’t measure your success and good fortune by how much new understanding you have attained, but rather by how much reverence and gratitude you feel and how stirring your questions are.

Inexplicable

In South America, some families of people who have died of COVID-19 have had to wait days for a coffin, either because of the short supply or they were unable to afford one, the Associated Press reported on May 8.

In response, ABC Displays, a Colombian advertising company, has developed a cardboard hospital bed with metal railings that can be converted into a coffin. The beds can hold a weight of 330 pounds and will cost about $85 each, company manager Rodolfo Gomez said. He plans to donate 10 beds and hopes to receive orders for more from emergency clinics that might run short on beds.

In 2006, Armin Meiwes, now 58, was convicted of killing, dismembering and slowly eating Bernd Brandes, 43, over a number of months in Rotenburg, Germany, but today, the man who advertised himself as a “friendly and polite” cannibal, goes for “walks around town” with a police escort and wearing sunglasses and a cap to disguise himself. Meiwes had advertised in 2001 on a website called The Cannibal Cafe for “a well-built 18- to 30-year-old to be slaughtered and then consumed,” and Brandes answered the ad. At trial, Meiwes told the court he had always dreamed of having a younger brother “to be a part of me” and thought cannibalism would be a way to satisfy that obsession. Two officers accompany

Not Men From Outer Space People in Washington’s Puget Sound were startled on the evening of May 6 by a brilliant streak of light across the sky followed three minutes later by a loud explosion. “Huge boom that shook the house. It was the loudest boom I’ve ever heard,” one witness in Brier reported, according to KOMO. The American Meteor Society investigated the many reports it fielded and determined the noise came from an exploding meteor entering Earth’s atmosphere. The meteor may have been part of the annual Eta Aquarid meteor shower, which occurs when Earth moves through the remnants of Halley’s comet.

Recent Alarming Headline In Clocolan, Free State Province, South Africa, where the now-seven-week-long lockdown includes a ban on buying or selling alcoholic beverages, thieves broke into the Rest in Peace funeral parlor and made off with four gallons of exhumation liquid, the Daily Mail reported on May 12. The fluid, used to preserve body parts that have been exhumed, is 97% alcohol, police spokesperson Brigadier Motansi Makhele said, and the burglars had to break through roller blinds and into a locked steel cabinet to get to the liquid. A forensic officer predicted: “If the thieves drink that liquid without watering it right down, then they will drop dead themselves!”

Meiwes on his outings, reports the Daily Mail, and he is described by his keepers as a “friendly, outgoing, polite” prisoner who is helpful to others, attends church services and works in the prison laundry.

Questionable Judgment • Curtis L. Fish, 48, arrested and charged with kidnapping and raping a woman on New Year’s Day in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, was released when the COVID-19 crisis erupted in jails, according to PennLive.com. On May 12, police responding to reports that Fish tried to break into the Crossroads Tavern in Hilltown Township attempted to Taser Fish, but he fled to his home nearby, where he set off and aimed fireworks at a SWAT team before his house suddenly caught fire.

Bright Ideas Restaurants have adapted to local lockdowns with curbside and drive-thru services, so it’s no surprise that other businesses are following suit. Minx Gentlemen’s Club in Virginia Beach, Virginia, is offering drive-thru pole dances and other entertainment in a makeshift outdoor space, according to The Sun. Dancers were showered with bills or grabbed their tips using a trash picker to reach into vehicles as patrons enjoyed the performances from the safety of their cars. Meanwhile, in Las Vegas, Little Darlings is offering completely nude drive-up strip teases. “Guests can drive up to the front door, and we’re going to have dancers separated by the 6-foot separation rule, and (customers) can enjoy a totally nude show right from the seat of their car,” a Little Darlings spokesperson told KSNV.

said tavern owner Mike Mrozinski. “So I believe that’s what lit the house on fire.” A body thought to be Fish was found inside.

Mrozinski said Fish, whom he had known for 16 years, was “not the same guy I had known him to be” before the rape charges.

• Joseph Todd Kowalczyk, 20, tweeted at the FBI on May 10, threatening that he had “10 bombs ready to go off ... in my basement ... come get me you guys have till 8 before I make this city in my own little hell #forwaco.” The FBI determined the tweet came from a mobile home park in Clinton Township, Michigan, according to The Detroit News, and officers showed up at Kowalczyk’s home the next day, where he explained that he was “testing the government” and was upset that they had not responded more promptly. He told agents he had no weapons and would not make any more threatening tweets, but as the day wore on, Kowalczyk taunted the FBI in further posts, disparaging the agency and police for their slow response.

On May 12, he was arrested and charged with transmitting a threat to injure, which is punishable by up to five years in prison.

Restaurants in West Plains, Missouri, endured a social media storm in early May after a customer posted a photo of a receipt that included a “Covid 19 Surcharge.” But the restaurants pushed back, according to KY3. “It’s not a tax.

It’s basically just a small percentage to cover all of our extra expenses,” said Bootleggers BBQ owner Brian Staack. Kiko Japanese Steakhouse manager Sarah Sherwood said prices on most items have doubled, and Ozark Cafe co-owner Heather Hughes confirmed: “Every day there’s something else (food suppliers) can’t get or the prices have gone up exorbitantly.” The restaurateurs say it’s easier to add the 5% surcharge than constantly change the menus, and they’ve been upfront with customers, using signs and notes in their menus. While the initial response was surprise, Sherwood says the community has “really come together to support the local businesses.”

Sandra Kay Webb, 32, allegedly became angry with her husband because he bought flowers for her children to give her for Mother’s Day. The Smoking Gun reported that Webb threw the bouquet at her husband and hit him with it, then spit on him. Webb was charged with domestic battery; she admitted throwing the flowers, but denied the spitting. ‫ﵭ‬ Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.

How many two or more letter words can you make in 2 minutes from the letters in: Hamburger Hamburger was originally 'Hamburg steak' named for an entree served in Hamburg, Germany. When German immigrants arrived in the late 1800's they dropped the 'steak,' added the adjective-making er suffix, moved the meat from the platter to hand-held bread, and the hamburger was born.

The cheeseburger was invented soon after originating in the hilly hamlet of Cheddartucky, Pennsylvannia.
