Graduation Reimagined on the Chesapeake Here’s to the Class of 2020

I

remember the fall of my senior year at Severna Park High School, in part, for the milestones that were canceled. We had no Homecoming parade and no pep rally. We never got a chance to perform a silly, choreographed dance set to Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby, wearing the blue sequined skirts we’d made. Though I’d just been voted to the Homecoming court, I never got to ride atop a convertible in the parade, wearing a tiara and waving as we proceeded down Robinson Road.

That’s because it was October 2002, and a massive manhunt was underway to find the gunmen who were targeting people in Maryland, D.C. and Virginia—seemingly at random—with deadly aim.

Our Homecoming festivities happened to be scheduled during the 22-day stretch in which 10 people were killed and three others critically wounded. In Chesapeake communities like Severna Park, large, outdoor gatherings were canceled out of concern they could be the next sniper targets. Our parents were afraid to let us fill up at gas stations. For those three weeks, the fear was real. Afterwards, we regretted the lost memories of our senior year.

In 2020, high school seniors are experiencing lost

memories on a drastically larger scale. Without much warning, anticipated milestones like finals, last sports seasons, prom and graduation disappeared. Seniors with college plans are left in the lurch as colleges and universities make contingency plans for the fall. Even the dedicated parents, teachers and coaches who have invested in their students are struggling with the loss of the full experience.

It’s not just high school: younger students looking forward to moving up to middle or high school aren’t getting proper sendoffs, either. And for college seniors, who have the real world staring them in the face, the end of senior year may be downright unnerving.

These pandemic realities are exactly why this issue of CBM Bay Weekly honors the graduates of Chesapeake country. We’re looking at how high school seniors are making the best of circumstances, how the U.S. Naval Academy adapted its storied Commissioning traditions, and the plans our schools are making to give seniors a send-off to remember.

For the first time, we’re giving you a chance to honor your own graduating loved one with a personal announcement in Bay Weekly (it’s still not too late

to place one in the next issue).

Whether it’s paying tribute to graduates, tracking down local take-out options, or adding a digital paper to better serve those staying home, we’re committed to being here as a resource for you in unpredictable times. The Bay Weekly staff is constantly working on ways to serve our readers during COVID-19. And it’s not going unnoticed. I’m proud to share that we were selected to receive funding from Google News Initiative’s Journalism Emergency Relief Fund. Bay Weekly was chosen in the first wave of recipients out of 12,000 applicants from more than 100 countries.

We’re grateful for the recognition of our resolve not to interrupt production of this community paper despite tough times in the newspaper business.

We’re happy to say we haven’t missed an issue, and we’re working on brand new plans to get Chesapeake country through the summer of COVID-19.

In the meantime, we extend our congratulations to the Class of 2020! p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

The annual winter blue crab survey in the Chesapeake Bay guides crab management in the Bay and its tributaries. Photos: Dave Harp

SURVEY: BLUE CRAB POPULATION “ROBUST,” DEMAND HIGH survey that historically has guided blue crab management in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries shows the population has dipped slightly but likely not enough to trigger new restrictions on this season’s harvest.

A

The annual winter dredge survey, released May 20, suggests that the crustacean’s numbers remain “healthy and robust,” despite the downturn, said Steven Bowman, head of the Virginia Marine Resources Commission, which oversees the state’s fishing regulations.

We don’t expect this will change our 2020 management measures for blue crab, and we will continue to manage blue crabs based on the best available science,” he added.

Officials in Maryland also emphasized the population’s resilience in their remarks on the report, but they stopped short of indicating how it might influence their management decisions.

The dredge survey results suggest that crabs should be available in their “normal capacity,” said Genine McClair, blue crab program manager for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The department conducts the survey jointly with the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

“We’re in a place where we want to be,” McClair said. The overall population of 405 million was in line with the

average number of crabs counted during the survey’s 30-year run.

Biologists use dredge equipment to capture crabs at 1,500 sites throughout the Chesapeake Bay from December through March. They were just able to complete their work before the lockdowns began in late March, McClair said.

By every significant measure, this year’s numbers pale compared with last year’s study. But most were still above the level that scientists consider safe to sustain the population.

For example, adult females, a key indicator of future reproductive capacity, fell by more than a quarter to 140 million. That is below the 215 million target set by scientists but still twice the minimum safe total of 70 million.

The female population has been above that threshold for nine of the last 10 years, a sign that the species’ spawning pool is not in the danger zone, officials say.

Much of this year’s decrease was because of a drop in this year’s “juvenile” class, which was down 43 percent.

“That doesn’t sound good for this fall

BUSY ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON PREDICTED FOR 2020 t may come as no surprise that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is predicting an above-normal hurricane season.

That’s because a week and a half before hurricane season begins, we’ve already seen the first named storm of 2020: Tropical Storm Arthur, which came up the Atlantic towards North Carolina, prompted the temporary closure of the Port of Morehead City, and then moved out to sea.

Arthur was still expected to cause dangerous surf and rip currents at mid-Atlantic

and next spring,” when the newcomers will finally grow large enough to harvest, said Billy Rice, a waterman from Charles County.

Regulators and environmentalists attribute the crab’s overall rebound to measures implemented in Maryland and Virginia waters after the U.S. Department of Commerce declared the fishery a disaster in 2008.

Reactions to the survey, from environmentalists to watermen, appeared upbeat when contrasted against this season’s turmoil.

Massive, state-enacted lockdowns shuttered restaurants to slow the spread of the coronavirus just days before the April 1 opening of the season. Poor weather sidelined watermen for much of the first month, and a shortage of temporary foreign work visas has left many crab processors shorthanded.

Still, demand for crabs has skyrocketed in recent weeks at seafood markets, grocery stores and restaurants offering carryout service, industry

beaches after the storm was downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone on May 19.

The true hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30 and NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center says there’s a 60 percent chance it will be an above-normal season. The chance of it being a normal season sits at 30 percent and there’s only a 10 percent chance of a below-normal storm season.

Of the 13 to 19 named storms NOAA is predicting, six to 10 could become hurricanes, and three to six of those could be major hurricanes (those with winds of 111 miles per hour or higher).

Federal disaster officials caution people

leaders said. Meanwhile, the harvest continues to trend behind where it was at the same time last year.

The combination of low supply and high demand has created a “price war,” said Jason Ruth, owner of Harris Seafood Co. in Grasonville. He estimates that the prices paid at the dock—which jumped from $200 to $220 per bushel between May 19 and May 20, according to industry sources—are 60 percent higher than at any point in the company’s history.

Robert Newberry, executive director of the Delmarva Fisheries Association, was flabbergasted by the going rate of a bushel.

“Do you believe that?” he asked. “I can’t believe it. I’ve never seen crab prices this high in my life—ever. If they’re $200 coming off the boat, they need a Brinks truck to be delivering these crabs.”

The high prices have put processors in even more of a pinch, Newberry said, because they can’t sell the meat they pick to consumers for as much as it costs for them to buy the crabs from watermen.

Watermen in Virginia and Maryland say crabs have been spotty but not that plentiful this spring, which they blame on chilly, windy weather that’s hung on through April into May. “From what I generally see, this is probably the worst year I’ve had in 15– 20 years,” said J.C. Hudgins, president of the Virginia Waterman’s Association. Hudgins said some watermen had brief success harvesting crabs in a couple spots near the mouths of the Rappahannock and York rivers, but otherwise the catch has been poor.

But what he has been able to catch has brought “exceptionally good” prices from the seafood businesses selling live or steamed crabs. Hudgins said female crabs have been going for $90 to $100 per bushel dockside, where last year they sold for only about $25 a bushel.

Watermen say they don’t expect the high prices to persist through the season. As the weather warms this summer, crabs will become more active and start filling watermen’s pots in bigger numbers.

that it’s as important as ever to prepare for the possibility of hurricanes along the coast, but this year that preparation comes with extra things to think about.

“Social distancing and other CDC guidance to keep you safe from COVID-19 may impact the disaster preparedness plan you had in place, including what is in your gokit, evacuation routes, shelters and more… it is time to revise and adjust your emergency plan now,” said Carlos Castillo, acting deputy administrator for resilience at FEMA. What’s fueling the “strong likelihood for above-normal activity” in the Atlantic this year? NOAA says there’s not expected to

ANNAPOLIS BOAT SHOWS MOVING AHEAD FOR OCTOBER ith so many annual traditions canceled this year, there’s hope for the fall. Organizers say the United States Powerboat Show and Sailboat Show are set to return to Annapolis City Dock on schedule in early October.

Annapolis Boat Shows says the powerboat show will run Thursday through Sunday, October 1-4 and the sailboat show the following weekend, October 812.

“The health and safety of our exhibitors, sponsors, and attendees is our team’s highest priority,” said Paul Jacobs, president of Annapolis Boat Shows. “As we plan for our fall shows, we’re taking proactive steps in response to the public health situation.”

To allow for social distancing, entrance to the show won’t be exactly the same.

Single-day tickets will be sold in advance to “smooth the number of visitors across

W

all show days.”

“Once a day’s ticket allotment is sold out, you may select an alternate day,” Jacobs explains.

The two shows convert City Dock into a floating marina of hundreds of display boats for visitors to climb on and compare side-by-side. There are opportunities to test-drive some models at the demo dock, and there’s a brokerage area with used boats for sale. In shoreside exhibit areas and tents, boaters can find nautical accessories and services, including our very own Chesapeake Bay Media tent. We are proud to present the official U.S. Powerboat and Sailboat Show guides each year.

Tickets for the U.S. Powerboat Show and U.S. Sailboat Show are on sale now at $20 per person and $10 for children 12 and under. Tickets are valid one day only—the specific day for which they’re purchased.

The Secret Ingredient is Community SoCo Farmers Market Returns June 4

BY KATHY KNOTTS

fter years of attempts in different locations under different leadership, the new organizers of the South County Farmers Market hope that they have found the secret ingredient: community support. Kelly Bell and Sherisha Forrester believe their hard work coupled with great vendors, an easy-to-find spot and partnerships with local businesses is a recipe for longevity.

Drawing on their own expertise as bakers and caterers, Bell and Forrester teamed up two years ago to help restart

A

be an El Niño presence to suppress hurricanes, and other climate factors like warmer-than-average surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, weaker trade winds, less vertical wind shear, and bigger west African monsoons also contribute.

The agency says it’s upgrading its technology for tracking hurricanes this year, including feeding satellite data (like air temperature, pressure and humidity in tropical regions, where hurricanes form) into weather models to track intensity and make forecasts more accurate.

Also in 2020, NOAA and the U.S. Navy will deploy a fleet of “autonomous diving

the farmers market, now at the Deale Library. “Mostly it was Sherisha leading the charge,” says Bell, who also runs Bell House Catering at the former Rogue Pierogies site in Annapolis.

“When she started looking for new vendors, I reached out and we just clicked.

I not only became a vendor, but agreed to take on the promotion and marketing side of things.”

Turning to social media has stirred interest and created loyal visitors.

Through Facebook posts and live videos, the market spotlights the smaller farmers, producers and vendors that otherwise might not draw customers on their own.

“The first year of this market, we really worked on growing our visitor base, but we began to notice we had a lot of

‘boat people,’ not necessarily people that live in the community. Those boaters are awesome but we are now trying to figure out how to draw more locals...so we started tagging and challenging area businesses in our posts, with silly dance challenges, that sort of thing,” says Bell.

This year’s market will include gift baskets from business sponsors to be raffled off to visitors each week. The new campaign kicks off with support from child learning center The Polymath Place, who have donated a $250 summer gift card for a lucky market guest.

Also new this year will be heightened safety precautions. While the market is outdoors, guests will now follow a oneway direction as they visit vendors.

Hand sanitizer will be available as well

as a map of vendors to discourage crowding around booths.

The time will shift slightly, too. “A lot of businesses don’t close down till 6pm, so we were missing a lot of commuters on our old schedule, so we have changed our times to 4-7pm this year,” says Bell.

While baked goods are the biggest hits in the SoCo Market, Bell and Forrester take care not to overlap too much. Forrester, who runs her own business Sweet Audrey’s Southern Bakery in addition to working at South County Café, is known for her cinnamon rolls and tarts, while Bell tackles cheesecake and gluten-free goodies. Their friendly competition is well planned, though. “We discuss early on who is making what and we both have clientele who visit the other’s booth.”

The market works hard to not bring in too much of the same items. “We don’t have a lot of vendors but we offer a good variety,” says Bell. Market-goers can find produce, baked goods, get knives sharpened and even pick up a bottle of wine from Whistlestop Winery. Various crafters are also at the market on occasion. Follow SoCo Farmers Market on Facebook for special events and the weekly lineup.

This year’s market vendors include: 3 Dummies Produce, Sweet Audrey’s Southern Bakery, Bell House Catering, Portland Manor Farm, Deep Cove Farm, Mimi’s Microgreens, Whistle Stop Winery, and Mike’s Knives.

hurricane gliders” to observe conditions in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea in areas where hurricanes have historically traveled and intensified.

The 2020 storm predictions will be updated in August, just before the historical peak of hurricane season. In August of 2019, NOAA’s update boosted the chances of a busy storm season from what the agency initially predicted in May. In case you’re wondering which names the World Meteorological Organization has come up with for 2020 storms, here’s the full list. Arthur, of course, has already been used.

BAY BULLETIN Artist Eddie Lavin working on his sculpture, Watershed.

Moving an Eight-Ton Sculpture Local artist’s quarantine creation headed to Laurel for display

BY KRISTA PFUNDER

large-scale sculpture that honors the local environment, created during the stay-at-home order, is set to be unveiled—but getting it to its destination will take some doing.

Watershed, a sculpture by artist Eddie

A

Lavin of Chesapeake Beach, came to life behind the SoCo Arts Lab in Tracy’s Landing. The sculpture is made out of thermal blue stone from a quarry in Pennsylvania and weighs in at eight tons and measures 750 square feet.

“My artistic inspiration comes from a love for the intelligent designs inherent in all of nature,” Lavin says. “This piece is centered on the Patuxent River Wildlife Refuge and adjacent parks.”

The three-dimensional map of the refuge including the Patuxent River

and its tributaries allows rainwater to flow through the crevices once the sculpture has been installed in its permanent spot outdoors—a Laurel business park’s community center.

Lavin worked on the piece for four months at the Lab, a nonprofit artists’ workspace which opened in Tracy’s Landing last year.

“We recognized the need in South County for working studio space for artists and also for a community-based art center,” says Nancy Oliver, one of

the Lab’s founders. “We want to foster connections among artists and the public and ignite the creative spirit in everyone.”

The Lab provides affordable studio space for rent to working artists and a gallery space to showcase their art during pop-up shows and longer-term events.

Currently it’s hosting nine resident artists, as well as associate and emerging artists in the early stage of their career.

“It’s a collaborative atmosphere for everyone to share ideas and become even more creative.” Oliver says.

And that space has been a haven for artists during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I’ve been at the Lab full time and have been loving the weather working outdoors,” Lavin says. “I know that for all of us during this period of strife, we have been grateful to have a safe place to escape and find refuge in our creative energies. It’s probably one of the most therapeutic means to cope for anyone out there with creative talents.”

Assembling and transporting a sculpture that is one ton heavier than the weight of an average adult elephant took some planning. “Eddie built a 325foot platform with two open channels so he could push and pull the stone from place to place,” Oliver says.

The sculpture is (slowly) en route from South County and should be at its final destination on June 8. Visitors are invited to come take a look: 3314 Laurel Fort Meade Rd., Laurel.

enied the chance to walk across a stage with loved ones watching and cheering, the 2020 graduates of Chesapeake country still deserve recognition, accolades and applause. Thankfully, the region has stepped up to give grads a senior year like no other.

Neighbors, parents, faculty and friends organized car parades for seniors at Broadneck High School, Southern High School and others. Banners were hung along highways, in front of schools and in students’ yards proclaiming the proud news that a senior was graduating. Students dressed in their prom formal wear for photo sessions but no dance—some schools plan on hosting a late summer or fall prom instead.

In Anne Arundel County, the scoreboards at area schools lit up with 2020 at the same time 20:20 on May 20, in honor of graduates. May 21 was the last day for seniors in AACPS. The last day for Calvert County seniors was May 15, but like AACPS, the school system has had to get creative when it comes to graduation ceremonies. Details are still being finalized for school-based graduation events, which will depend upon the governor easing restrictions and allowing gatherings of more than 10 people.

“Most likely, small groups of students will be scheduled to report to school over

the course of a few days. Seniors will walk across a stage in cap and gown to receive their diplomas—whether it is in the auditorium, the stadium, or a temporary viewing area—and social distancing measures will be followed,” writes Daniel Curry, superintendent of schools. The four Calvert high schools will stream virtual ceremonies June 29 & 30.

The AACPS Class of 2020 was slated to be the first to graduate at the Live! Event Center at Arundel Mills. Instead the school system has implemented a fourtiered celebration that will include digital graduation ceremonies and single-student diploma presentations at each school.

“As the father of a high school senior myself, I am fully aware of—and have greatly struggled with—the impact that decisions regarding events such as prom and graduation have on students and their families,” superintendent George Arlotto wrote in a letter sent to seniors and their families. The school system has also planned: • Audio tributes about seniors by their teachers and counselors, airing May 26-28 on the radio station, CRAB Radio (104.7 FM), and posted on each school’s website.

• Online senior awards events for each school to honor members of the Class of 2020.

• Recorded digital commencement ceremonies following the format of traditional graduations and broadcast on AACPS-TV and on AACPS’ YouTube and Livestream channels, complete with a turning of the tassels.

• Graduates will receive their diploma at their school in cap and gown with up to four immediate family members watching. Schools will arrange for photographers to document the occasion.

This will replace the Cap and Gown Gala events previously planned. No more than two vehicles per graduate and everyone will remain in their vehicle until a scheduled time for the graduate to walk to the stage. Family members will not be allowed on the stage.

“Nothing that has happened can diminish the accomplishments of the members of the Class of 2020,” writes Arlotto.

“They are outstanding young leaders who will shape the world in the coming years.

The ways we will celebrate them aren’t what we thought they would be in September, but our pride in their accomplishments and the way they carry themselves is every bit as strong.” ‫ﵭ‬

Social Distancing and the Senior Class

BY ANGEL GINGRAS Angel, a Calvert High School senior, has written for Bay Weekly since the start of the school year through Calvert County Public School’s Mentorship Program.

Huntingtown High School in Huntingtown

pring is an exciting time for high school seniors, a season when students finish up the final weeks of their K-12 career. The change in weather anticipates a much-needed summer break. College or career plans are being finalized. Announcements are being ordered, and caps and gowns received. The stage is set for one of the most important rites of passage in one’s life. What should be an exciting time for these students, transitioning from high school to the rest of their lives, looks a bit different this year.

The COVID-19 pandemic shut down schools across the nation, including Maryland, where schools closed for the remainder of this academic year May 6. Like most districts in the state, Calvert County Public Schools (CCPS) shifted to online learning April 1, ensuring students will be able to academically complete the school year.

There are designated days for each subject, and assignments are given with a manageable due date. Using the Schoology platform, students communicate with teachers, participate in discussions with peers, and turn in work.

Teachers use Microsoft Teams to schedule video chats with their classes as well. CCPS seniors finished their school year online on May 15, while underclassmen will continue with virtual learning until June 15.

Many students have gained knowledge in working virtually, a skill that may not have been taught otherwise. It has been See SENIORS on next page

beneficial in preparing school systems for potential situations in the future that may require students to learn from home.

It has taught teens a way to be connected, even if not face-to-face.

It’s a skill that Franki Costello, a senior at Huntingtown High School, is having to use as he prepares to study at McDaniel College in Westminster this fall.

“Many orientation events have been cancelled this spring,” says Costello. “Fortunately, I’ve been able to still be a part of what is happening virtually by video-chatting with counselors and future students.”

Many other seniors around the county have seen their extracurricular activities impacted. Northern High School senior Anna Grace Berry is president of the ASL club and a member of a Special Olympics team.

“This pandemic has significantly affected my daily life,” says Berry. “I feel bad that my ASL club is basically over for this year because I felt like it was finally gaining momentum… and I miss not having practice every Sunday with Special Olympics to prepare for our summer games.”

Mia Kwiatkoski, a senior at Calvert High School, had her senior lacrosse season cut prematurely. She will be attending Wingate University in North Carolina this fall on a lacrosse scholarship that requires her to meet certain physical standards by the beginning of the year.

“It feels weird not having our first game or receiving our uniforms this year, but I’m lucky I have the opportunity to play next year, even if it means conditioning on my own,” she says.

Kwiatkoski and her family have also been using this time to volunteer in the

community by ordering and delivering groceries for elderly neighbors, so they can stay isolated.

As for me, a senior, I’ve been taking advantage of my time at home by creating a schedule to maintain as much normalcy as possible, including time to read, be outside, and talk to my friends, and had scheduled academic time before the school year ended. This plan has been my key to staying busy and keeping a positive outlook.

I never could have imagined that I would have my last day in a high school classroom in March. It is sometimes difficult to think of all the events that my friends and I are going to miss, including senior breakfast, prom, and a traditional graduation ceremony, however, CCPS is

doing all they can to make the end of senior year special for us. On May 15, all Calvert County seniors received special deliveries to our houses from teachers that included our cap and gown, yearbook, and a yard sign highlighting our achievement. The Board of Education is also planning both a virtual and modified in-person commencement ceremony in June.

This time has been difficult for everyone, especially for seniors trying to plan their college or career plans for the fall. The best thing I have learned through this experience is to keep a positive outlook. Even though the circumstances may be difficult now, this will certainly be a graduation that everyone will remember. ‫ﵭ‬

The web-streamed event began with a tribute to the Class of 2020. In a 30minute montage of star-studded video messages, two dozen alumni, political and military leaders, television broadcasters, athletes, and actors sent their congratulations. The list of notables included: NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Roger Staubach (’65), astronaut Nicole Mann (’99), Governor Larry Hogan, General James Mattis, Al Roker, Verne Lundquist, Charles Barkley, new Annapolis resident Cal Ripken Jr., and actors Bradley Cooper and Tom Cruise.

In place of the traditional Commissioning Week pomp and circumstance, the Class of 2020 was sworn in 200 people at a time during five closed, in-person but socially distanced ceremonial events. A surprise Blue Angel flyover last week capped the mini-graduations.

The virtual commissioning included pre-recorded remarks focused on the unique circumstances under which the graduates were leaving “the yard on the banks of the Severn” and entering their professional military careers as leaders of men and women. Those who spoke included: Secretary of Defense Mark T. Esper; Acting Secretary of the Navy

The virtual commissioning included pre-recorded remarks focused on the unique circumstances under which the graduates were leaving “the yard on the banks of the Severn” and entering their professional military careers.

James E. McPherson; Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Mike M. Gilday; Vice Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Robert P. Burke; Commandant of the Marine Corps General David H. Berger; Naval Academy Superintendent Vice Admiral Sean Buck; and Class of 2020 President Mike Smith.

Like all Navy graduations preceding 2020, this one concluded with the images of covers flying the air, thrown by each graduate in the small group ceremonies.

While the conclusion of the semester was nowhere close to what the USNA student body was looking forward to when it began in January—a week filled with traditions such as the Herndon Climb, Ring Dance, and the Blue Angels air show—it represented what Superintendent Buck called “our best (effort) to give a memorable tribute to the Class of 2020 during a Commissioning Week unlike any other ... in the history of our great academy.” ‫ﵭ‬

SPORTING LIFE

BY DENNIS DOYLE

Have a Healthy Summer with a Labrador O ur Labrador retriever pup just turned one year old. Usually this is when dogs of most breeds are coming into maturity. Hobbes, however, celebrated the milestone by vaulting his shiny black 75 pounds of bulk onto the couch, into my lap, turning over and licking my cheek with joy on his face.

Apparently, he is not even considering graduating from puppyhood just yet and insists on being as playful and happy as he’s ever been and, frankly, I’m not arguing with it. Perhaps, and just for this reason, Labrador retrievers are the most popular dog in Maryland and the whole USA—and have been for a long while.

Though I’ve had many sporting dogs over the years, Hobbes is our first Lab and we’ve found him different from many other breeds. First of all, besides a long-lasting puppyhood, he has a greater insistence on exercise.

Actually, there are two different types of Labradors, though they are not officially recognized by the American Kennel Club. The first are known as English Labs, which are stockier, blockier and more reserved in demeanor than the second. Allegedly this is because Labradors in England, where they were first popular, are

used almost exclusively in the field for retrieving already downed birds. They do not actually take part in the hunt.

There, and in the US, they are also the types used in bench trials where their physical appearance is the primary consideration.

American Labs in contrast, are bred to actively hunt game birds, searching and thrashing around in all kinds of terrain, flushing the birds and retrieving them to hand. They have significantly higher energy levels than English Labs, are taller in the leg, slimmer and more athletic. Those highenergy characteristics are not a problem for most pet owners during the colder months of the year. Throwing a handy ball or bumper for them to retrieve will endlessly encourage them in shedding excess energy and generally provides the pup with enough activity to satisfy his craving for action. Summertime, however, is when this characteristic can become a problem.

Heatstroke is a significant issue with any active breed during the warmer months. That issue is exacerbated by the Lab’s strong desire to please. They just don’t stop when things get uncomfortable. Since dogs

cool themselves through panting and salivating, they can also rapidly suffer from dehydration.

When temps rise above 60 degrees it’s advisable to switch tactics and terrain for intensive exercise, especially with American Labradors. Swimming is by far the best and safest type of high-level activity. Overheating with any dog is rarely, if ever, an issue in the water.

Labradors were originally bred long ago by Newfoundland fishermen as companions and assistants. They were often used in retrieving fish fallen

overboard from their nets. The breed, theoretically, is genetically predisposed to aquatic adventure.

That quality was revealed to me shortly after Hobbes’ arrival to our home last spring, when, at only 12 weeks of age, he stumbled into our fish pond in the front yard. Based on my previous experiences, I was terrified of future problems that this might create and, though quick to respond, I was not quick enough.

Hobbes had climbed out of the pond, shook himself off, turned around and then eagerly jumped back in. ‫ﵭ‬ W E D N E S D AY

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

The Expected Arrival of an Infrequent Visitor A s the ground finally warms, more than plant life will start to awaken.

This summer is the 17th anniversary of the Brood IX 17-year cicada. That brood may affect southern Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. Next summer, central Maryland, Delaware, and eastern Pennsylvania will be affected by the largest group, Brood X. The cicadas are food for many animals—even bald eagles have been seen munching on them. When the cicadas arrive en masse, birds that do not normally visit our area will arrive as well; sometimes they may even nest out of their usual range.

The Mississippi kite is one such bird.

They are light long-winged birds who spend much of their lives in flight. The name kite was given to a group of birds that float on light winds. They are quite

agile in the air, catching and eating insects, drinking, exchanging food, and courting in flight.

The Mississippi kites are a little bigger than a crow and have light gray bodies and heads, dark tails and dark mascaralike rings around their eyes. Usually, they live south of North Carolina and west to Texas but when the last Brood X cicadas arrived in 2004, groups of kites were seen winging over Maryland eating the flying cicadas. They were present in Maryland during their usual nesting season and may have nested here.

They have an interesting nesting behavior. An adult mated pair will allow an immature bird, male or female, to be a nest helper. The helper helps build and guard the nest but also helps feed the young. They have one brood per year. In the winter, they disappear to warmer

They are words that I have lived my life by. It is heart-wrenching to see long lines of people waiting to get food because they do not have enough to eat.

you introduce to your garden, the fewer crop pests will be around. Growing a diversity of plants, as most family farms used to, such as annuals, perennials, flowers, herbs, vegetables, and fruit helps create a habitat that shelters and nourishes beneficial insects and pollinators. Without pollinators, our vegetable plants won’t produce food.

Flowers say to beneficial insects, “Yoohoo, if you come over here, you’ll get a reward.” Of course, the reward is pollen and nectar, protein and carbohydrates, the two basic building blocks of any diet.

Modern-day agriculture, although very productive, has a high carbon footprint. Mono-cropping, using herbicides and pesticides and irresponsible fertilizing are slowly destroying the environment and the people of the planet.

Organic gardening cares about the earth and all of its inhabitants.

We should engage in practices that create healthy and vibrant ecosystems from the smallest container garden to a large farm field. We want the four Ps in our gardens: pollinators (native and non), predators, parasitoids (beneficial insects), and passerines (insectivorous songbirds).

Summer Cinema Start the season with a slate of movies featuring the best and worst of summer fun his is the start of a most unusual summer season.

While we figure out the new normal, here’s a fivemovie marathon that captures the best and the worst of summer.

DISNEY+: Moana As daughter of the chief, Moana (Auli’i Cravalho) is expected to learn how to lead her people. But what Moana really wants to learn, is how to sail. Ever since she was a child, she’s felt the ocean calling to her. It turns out, she’s right.

The sea is calling Moana. It entrusts her with the heart of Te Fiti, a magical emblem that was stolen by the demigod Maui (The Rock). When Maui took the heart, he unleashed Te K , a lava monster that is slowly destroying the Polynesian islands. When her own island is threatened with destruction, Moana must board her boat, find Maui, and force him to return the heart to its rightful place.

One of Disney’s best modern musicals, Moana combines a great story, songs from Hamilton-creator LinManuel Miranda, and excellent performances. The story of a plucky girl who saves the world and stays true to herself is inspiring for little ones and adults. Filled with Polynesian imagery that will make you long for the beach, Moana is the rare kids’ film you won’t mind watching over and over again.

NETFLIX: Fyre What’s the only thing worse than having your expensive vacation cancelled because of the pandemic? Having your expensive vacation turn out to be a scam and stranding you in the Bahamas.

This documentary breaks down the events that led up to Fyre Festival, one

of the biggest debacles in concert history. Musician Ja Rule and businessman Billy McFarland teamed up to create the most exclusive music festival ever, hosted on a private island, featuring luxury bungalows and five-star cuisine. Attendees would pay a small fortune for exclusive access to artists and events, all with an extravagant feel.

Unfortunately, Billy was a huckster who defrauded investors and swindled concertgoers, all while keeping up appearances. When the concert happened, people were stranded in refugee tents with little food and barely any water. The concert also had a devastating effect on the Bahamian economy.

If you’re looking for a documentary about a luxury disaster that’s two parts schadenfreude and one part tragedy, Fyre is a must-see.

Good Documentary * R * 97 mins.

KANOPY: Summertime After saving for years, school secretary Jane (Katharine Hepburn) finally is able to take a summer vacation to Venice. She falls in with a crowd at Pensione Fiorini and falls in love with the city. Soon, Jane meets a charming shop owner named Renato (Rossano Brazzi) who invites her to see the real city.

Perpetually single Jane isn’t sure she should start a holiday romance with a stranger, but Renato charms her into taking a chance. Will the bond Jane and Renato form be a lasting one? Or is it doomed from the start?

Missing exotic locales and summer romances during the time of social distancing? This romantic tale will transport you to the canals of Venice. Director David Lean makes the most of his setting, utilizing grand cinematography and beautiful camera work. A sentimental and beautifully acted film, this is the perfect vacation movie. It’ll have you booking a 2021 trip to Italy in no time.

Good Romance * NR * 100 mins.

Katharine Hepburn and Rossano Brazzi in Summertime (1955) PRIME: Midsommar After an unfathomable tragedy takes her family from her, Dani (Florence Pugh) clings to her disinterested boyfriend Christian (Jack Reynor).

Afraid he’ll look like a jerk if he breaks up with Dani, Christian reluctantly invites her along on a trip he’s taking with his friends. They’re going to Sweden to witness a small commune’s summer festival.

At first, the celebrations serve as a great distraction for Dani and Christian, but the traditions start to take a sinister turn. Is there something odd going on in this land of sun and flowers?

If you’re looking for a movie that will make you and your family think twice about gathering in large groups, this is the flick for you. Director Ari Aster is a master of creepy camera work and subtle hidden imagery. The whole movie is a horror film set in bright sunlight with no jump scares—and it’s in turns chilling and hilarious. With a brilliant lead performance by Pugh, this movie is a stunning masterclass in film craft and acting.

Just a quick warning: This is definitely not a film for small viewers, so

make sure the kids are in bed unless you want to pay therapy bills while you’re practicing social distancing.

Excellent Horror Movie * R * 128 mins.

HULU: The Sandlot Lonely new kid Scotty Smalls (Tom Guiry) has trouble making friends in his neighborhood. When he stumbles across a group of kids playing sandlot baseball, he’s thrilled to be invited to play. Though Smalls has never played baseball he learns to love the game and the team, who become his second family.

One of the best family films ever, The Sandlot is a great example of how sports can bring us together. The hilarious adventures of Smalls and his sandlot crew are a great reminder of why we love the summer. Filled with classic lines (“You’re killin’ me, Smalls!”) and some truly wonderful performances, this is a movie you won’t mind watching again and again.

While we’re social distancing, sit the kids down and let them watch this classic. Who knows—maybe it’ll inspire a backyard game or two.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The best of my nature reveals itself in play, and play is sacred,” wrote the feisty Aries author Karen Blixen, who sometimes used the pen name Isak Dinesen. The attitude described in that statement helps illuminate the meaning of another one of her famous quotations: “I do not think that I could ever really love a woman who had not, at one time or another, been up on a broomstick.” In my interpretation of this humorous remark, Blixen referred to the fact that she had a strong preference for witchy women with rascally magical ways. I bring this to your attention, Aries, because I’m inviting you to cultivate a Blixen-like streak of sacred play and sly magic in the coming days.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus music legend Willie Nelson has played the same guitar since 1969. He calls it “my horse,” and named it after Trigger, a famous horse in Hollywood films. Although Nelson still loves the tones that come from his instrument, it’s neither sleek nor elegant. It’s bruised with multiple stains and has a jagged gash near its sound hole. Some Tauruses want their useful things to be fine and beautiful, but not Willie. Having said that, I wonder if maybe he will finally change guitars sometime soon. For you Bulls, the coming months will be time to consider trading in an old horse for a new one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I’ve got a message for you, courtesy of poet Lisel Mueller. I think her wisdom can help you thrive in the coming weeks. She writes, “The past pushed away, the future left unimagined, for the sake of the glorious, difficult, passionate present.” Of course, it’s always helpful for us to liberate ourselves from the oppressive thoughts of what once was in the past and what might be in the future. But it’ll be especially valuable for you to claim that superpower in the coming weeks. To the degree that you do, the present will be more glorious and passionate and not so difficult.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): When Lewis Carroll’s fictional heroine Alice visits the exotic underground realm known as Wonderland, she encounters two odd men named Tweedledee and Tweedledum. The latter tells her, “You know very well you’re not real.”

He’s implying that Alice is merely a character in the dream of a man who’s sleeping nearby. This upsets her. “I am real!” she protests, and breaks into tears.

Tweedledum presses on, insisting she’s just a phantom. Alice summons her courageous wisdom and thinks to herself, “I know they’re talking nonsense, and it’s foolish to cry about it.” I suspect you Cancerians may have to deal with people and influences that give you messages akin to those of Tweedledum. If that happens, be like Alice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “The less you fear, the more power you will have,” says the rapper known as 50 Cent.

I agree with him. If you can dissolve even, say, 25 percent of your fear, your ability to do what you want will rise significantly, as will your influence and clout. But here’s the major riddle: How exactly can you dissolve your fear? My answers to that question would require far more room than I have in this horoscope. But here’s the really good news, Leo: In the coming weeks, you will naturally have an abundance of good insights about to dissolve your own fear. Trust what your intuition tells you. And be receptive to clues that serendipity brings you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): For his film Parasite, Virgo filmmaker Bong Joon-ho received Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. In his natal horoscope, Joon-ho has Pluto conjunct his sun in Virgo, and during the time Parasite began to score major success, Saturn and Pluto were making a favorable transit to that powerful point in his chart. I’m expecting the next six months to be a time when you can make significant progress toward your own version of a Joon-ho style achievement. In what part of your life is that most likely to happen? Focus on it. Feed it. Love it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to seek out, seduce, and attract luck. To inspire you in this holy task, I’ll provide a prayer written by Hoodoo conjurer Stephanie Rose Bird: “O sweet luck, I call your name. Luck with force and power to make change, walk with me and talk through me. With your help, all that can and should be will be!” If there are further invocations you’d like to add to hers, Libra, please do. The best way to ensure that good fortune will stream into your life is to have fun as you draw it to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio comedian John Cleese does solo work, but many of his successful films, albums, stage shows, and TV programs have arisen from joining forces with other comedians. “When you collaborate with someone else on something creative,” he testifies, “you get to places that you would never get to on your own.” I propose you make this your temporary motto, Scorpio. Whatever line of work or play you’re in, the coming weeks will offer opportunities to start getting involved in sterling synergies and symbioses. To overcome the potential limitations of social distancing, make creative use of Zoom and other online video conferencing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Wherever I am, let me never forget to distinguish want from

need,” vows author Barbara Kingsolver.

“Let me be a good animal,” she adds.

That would be a stirring prayer to keep simmering at the forefront of your awareness in the next six weeks. According to my understanding of the astrological omens, you’ll be getting clear signals about the differences between your wants and needs. You will also discover effective strategies about how to satisfy them both in the post-pandemic world, and fine intuitions about which one to prioritize at any particular time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Writing some Chinese characters can be quite demanding. To make “biáng,” for example, which is used in the name for a certain kind of noodle, you must draw 58 separate strokes. This is a good metaphor for exactly what you should avoid in the coming weeks: spending too much time and devoting too much thought and getting wrapped up in too much complexity about trivial matters. Your focus should instead be on simple, bold approaches that encourage you to be crisp and decisive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Singer-songwriter Jill Scott is strongly committed to her creative process. She tells us, “I was once making a burger for myself at my boyfriend’s house and a lyric started pouring out and I had to catch it, so I ran to another room to write it down, but then the kitchen caught fire. His cabinets were charred, and he was furious. But it was worth it for a song.” My perspective: Scott’s level of devotion to the muse is too intense for my tastes. Personally, I would have taken the burger off the stove before fleeing the scene to record my good idea. What about you, Aquarius? According to my analysis, you’re in a phase when creative ideas should flow even better than usual. Pay close attention. Be prepared to capture as much of that potentially life-altering stuff as possible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): To protect ourselves and others from the pandemic, most of us have been spending more time than usual at home—often engaged in what amounts to enforced relaxation. For some of us, that has been a problem. But I’m going to propose that it will be the opposite of a problem for you in the next three weeks. In my astrological opinion, your words to live by will be this counsel from author and philosopher Mike Dooley: “What if it was your downtime, your lounging-inbed-too-long time, that made possible your greatest achievements? Would they still make you feel guilty? Or would you allow yourself to enjoy them?”

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

COMPILED BY ANDREWS McMEEL SYNDICATION Fun With Mannequins • Some sports teams eager to return to the field have taken to placing cardboard figures of fans in stadium seats to enhance the experience for viewers, but the FC Seoul soccer club in South Korea was forced to apologize May 18 after propping up sex dolls in the seats for its match against Gwangju FC, The New York Times reported. “We had tried to add some fun in the no-spectator match,” the club explained. “But we have not checked all the details, and that is clearly our fault.” “Details” included the buxom physiques and obvious logos of sex toy marketers on the dolls’ clothing that fans watching quickly noticed. “We had confirmed that although the mannequins were made to look just like real people, they had nothing to do with adult products,” the statement said, but the club admitted it had neglected to do a background check of the supplier, which makes sex dolls.

• Dinner at the renowned three-Michelin-star Inn at Little Washington in Virginia can set diners back a pretty penny— unless they’re not eating. When the Inn opens on May 29, some of its patrons will be mannequins, reported the Associated Press, attired in fancy 1940s clothing and placed strategically at tables to help with social distancing. “We’re all craving to gather and see other people right now,” said Patrick O’Connell, the Inn’s proprietor and chef. “They don’t all necessarily need to be real people.”

Rebellion Served Cold An unnamed ice cream shop in Hong Kong is offering tear gas-flavored ice cream in support of the region’s pro-democracy movement, reports the Associated Press.

The shop’s owner explained he wanted “to make a flavor that reminds people that they still have to persist in the protest movement and don’t lose their passion.” “It tastes like tear gas,” said customer Anita Wong. “It feels difficult to breathe at first, and it’s really pungent and irritating. It makes me want to drink a lot of water immediately.”

The owner tried several different combinations to achieve the flavor and found that black pepper came the closest. Before coronavirus restrictions, he said the store was selling 20 to 30 scoops per day.

Just Funny University of Arizona wildlife biology professor Michael Bogan caught Saturday morning cartoons as they came to life in a video he recorded of a coyote chasing a roadrunner May 9 in downtown Tucson. Bogan could be heard on his recording saying, “There is literally a coyote chasing a roadrunner. I can’t believe it. That is a straightup cartoon.” The reenactment of the classic setup between Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner caught Bogan’s attention near the

Santa Cruz River, Fox News reported. And, as life often imitates art, the real roadrunner escaped unharmed from the wily coyote.

als we shared.” Principal Chay Bell apologized: “I am genuinely sorry for any upset caused at this difficult time.”

The Passing Parade

Why Not?

Police responding to a reported shooting in Poughkeepsie, New York, early on May 17, arrived to find a very drunk 35-yearold man from the Bronx who claimed he’d been shot in the buttocks, which caused him to fall and hit his head. The Hudson Valley Post reported the unnamed victim was taken to a hospital, where he was treated for his head injury, but doctors could find no evidence he’d been shot.

There was no bullet hole in his buttocks, X-rays showed no bullet lodged inside his buttocks, and his pants had no holes in them, police said. Witnesses nearby were also intoxicated and unable to provide any clarification. When officers pressed the victim about his story, he became uncooperative and said, “I didn’t pull a gun.”

In Japan, people are enlisting the help of a long-forgotten mythical creature believed to ward off plagues in their battle against the coronavirus. Amabie, a mermaidlike being, first appeared in Japanese folklore in 1846, when she was reported to have appeared to a government official and predicted a rich harvest and a pandemic. She told the man the pandemic could be thwarted by drawing her likeness and sharing it with as many people as possible, BBC reported on April 23. Now, images of the spirit are appearing over five continents, and in Japan, face masks and hand sanitizer with her image are popular. One long-haul driver painted her on the side of his truck, saying, “I travel all over the country with my (goods) and Amabie to pray for the disease to go away.”

Even the country’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has joined in, tweeting an image of Amabie and encouraging people to “prevent the spread of the virus.”

Homeschooling Gone Wild Parents have lodged complaints with the Archbishop Sentamu Academy in Hull, England, after discovering their seventh-, eighth- and ninth-graders were sent an exercise asking them to define pornography, soft pornography, hardcore pornography and other sensitive subjects, such as human trafficking and female genital mutilation. Hull Live reported on May 19 that the assignments were made as part of the school’s sex education course, but one parent, identified as Mrs. Taylor, said if her daughter had searched these terms on the internet, the results would have “destroyed her mind” and “scarred her for life.” The school responded saying, “Students were not directed to research these topics themselves on the internet because all the answers ... were contained in the teacher-produced materi-

Going the Extra Mile A nurse in the western Russian city of Tula has been disciplined for “noncompliance with the requirements for medical clothing” after photos appeared on social media of her wearing only a bra and panties under transparent PPE on a COVID-19 men-only ward. The unnamed nurse told her superiors at the Tula Regional Clinical Hospital that wearing clothing under the PPE was “too hot” and that she didn’t realize the protective gear was see-through. The Scottish Sun reported on May 20 that patients didn’t seem to mind, though one admitted there was “some embarrassment.”

Oops On May 15, staff at a Hamilton, Ontario, retirement home transferred all of its residents to a hospital because of an outbreak of COVID-19. That is, except for one. The following evening, after repeated alerts from the man’s family, he was discovered in his room at the Rosslyn Retirement Residence by a security officer who had been dispatched to look for him. He was “alert” and was subsequently transferred to the hospital, the CBC reported.

“This was clearly not something anybody would have intended to do,” and the lack of a master list of residents contributed to the snafu, said Winnie Doyle, executive vice president of clinical operations at the hospital where most of the residents were sent. “This was ... extremely distressing.”

Inexplicable A Facebook group called “A group where we all pretend to be ants in an ant colony” began March with around 100,000 members, reported NBC. Then the world locked down, and membership soared to more than 1.7 million. Started by Tyrese Childs, 20, of Fargo, North Dakota, the group’s purpose is to serve their fictional queen and search out food for her, and it is one of roughly 70 roleplaying groups on Facebook. Members of the ant colony can post photos about being ants and others join in by commenting with terms such as “MUNCH” and “LIFT.” One post featuring a photo of ice cream with ants crawling on it invited members to deliver some of the sweet treat to the queen and got more than 18,000 replies. “I think people are searching for something to do right now,” Childs said. “You can only scroll so much on social media.” ‫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: Hookers (20 words) It's possible the origin of this familiar word came from certain female camp followers of Union General Joseph Hooker during the Civil War. They were called “Hooker's Brigade' and when in town they did business in a part of DC nicknamed, 'Hooker's Division.' However, most believe the moniker came from working girls in and around the shipyard and ferry terminal of the Corlear's Hook area of Manhattan. Whichever the case, we shouldn't cast aspersions since there wouldn't be a hooker hooking without a hooked hookie.

The quote below is in substitution code, where A could equal R, H could equal P, etc. One way to break the code is to look for repeated letters. E, T, A, O, N and I are the most often used letters. A single letter is usually A or I; OF, IS and IT are common 2-letter words; and THE and AND are common 3-letter words. Good luck!
