Listen to the Young Learning about equality from our children

t’s hard to believe that something could come along and dominate national news headlines other than COVID-19 during the pandemic, but it happened this week. It’s a headline of a different kind, one about social injustice, police brutality, protests and destructive riots. In Chesapeake country, we’re mostly removed from the chaotic images of cities burning, but not the issues that fuel the reactions. Social media is flooded with hurting Marylanders who feel marginalized, pledges of support from those who want to stand up against racism, and outrage from those who see clashes with police and vandalism on TV. I feel sick at the images brought to light, and many of us are at a loss for what to do. Am I credible if I speak up about something so unfamiliar? Am I a “joiner” if this is the first time I’ve chosen to be vocal? As a mother, there’s one thing I know I can do. I have two little boys at very impressionable ages, just two and four years old. They will grow up someday, and it’s my responsibility to establish the values they grow up with.

Little kids know little of racism. Preschoolers play freely with all the children on the playground. It’s painful to think I’ll have to tell them that some people dislike others based on the color of their skin—even some grownups. The true pain is for a mother who must explain this to her black or brown children. Young children can be a touchstone in dealing with this subject. I feel sure that we can learn more from our young people than from the loudest voices on social media. This week, Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman held an unusual community event (virtually, of course). He invited African-American county residents under the age of 30 to speak in a Zoom event called “Young and Black in the Age of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and the Coronavirus Pandemic- What is our Future?” Seven young local leaders, from high schoolers to a nonprofit founder and a 23-year-old Annapolis alderman, spoke about the specific changes they believe will improve inequalities in education, housing and community resources. Meade High School graduate Madison Medley

pushed for earlier anti-racism programs in schools—at the elementary level, rather than in high school. “We need to counter racism at its core,” said Medley. “You can never be too young to understand another idea.” D’Juan Moreland, a UMBC freshman from Anne Arundel County, called for school curriculum changes to help minority students succeed. He wants to see more emphasis on entrepreneurship and personalized teaching to help students identify a career path. Those students not on a traditional college track “can get skills like trades within the public school system,” Moreland said. Hearing our youngest adults share the problems they see and offer possible solutions can help us realize that listening may be just as valuable as speaking out. And that’s something I’ll be sure my children carry with them. p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

MAHOGANY TIDES HIT MID-BAY RIVERS, FISH KILLS FOLLOW t’s an effect of Chesapeake Bay nutrient pollution that we just can’t ignore: those mahogany tides that turn the water a muddy reddish-brown and the fish kills that result from them.

The middle of the Bay is experiencing these impacts in intense, widespread fashion. The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) reports fish kills in the tens of thousands in the Severn and Magothy Riversheds. A high-density algae bloom (Prorocentrum minimum) hit the mid-Chesapeake hard this May, causing the rust-colored water commonly known as a mahogany tide. It’s likely to be found

in the Bay and in every system from Back River down to the Potomac River. It usually arrives in April, according to MDE, and dies off in early-to-mid-May as water temperatures rise, but the cool spring delayed that timeline. Instead, the bloom is just now dying off, which causes oxygen depletion as the algae decomposes. Beginning Friday, MDE got reports of “unpleasant odors, orange/red/brown stained water,

extreme buildups of foam, and fish kills (two) in several parts of the Magothy and Severn Rivers.” “Fish kills now are being reported in many of the creek areas in the Magothy! The river water now stinks and the smell has been nauseating,” the Magothy River Association posted on Facebook Monday. On Spa Creek in Annapolis there were 4,400 dead fish totaling nine species along an 80-foot stretch of shoreline at Amos Garrett Park. More dead fish were reported at Truxtun Park across the creek. On Dividing Creek in the Magothy, about 6,000 fish have died, mostly small Atlantic menhaden and Norfolk spot. As of Sunday, there were additional fish kills under investigation in the mainstem of the upper Magothy River, Cockey, Old Man, and Cattail creeks. Kim Gurski Myers, who lives near the top of Old Man Creek, captured video of bottom-dwelling fish appearing to come up to the surface for air. “It was one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever seen and I have lived on the water my entire life. I’ve never seen anything like it,” Myers tells Bay Bulletin. In the downstream spots, MDE says the dead fish are mostly juvenile menhaden, but as you move upstream the kill becomes dominated by pumpkinseed sunfish. Several other species are involved in smaller numbers. MDE tells Bay Bulletin, “The total number of dead fish is easily in the tens of thousands.” Investigators found all of the complaints to be direct results of the algae die-off. “This is very sad. Let’s take this moment to recommit to improving water quality… Mahogany tides are caused by excess nutrients so please cut back on fertilizers, plant native plants, help us push back on the progressive paving of our watershed. We are seeing a death by 1000 cuts!” pleads the Magothy River Association. Algae blooms like Prorocentrum minimum are fueled by nutrient pollution that lands in the Bay through runoff. MDE asks anyone who sees a fish kill to call its location in to this Bay environmental hotline at 877-224-7229 so that scientists can investigate. —MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

LOCAL TOUR BOATS READY TO WELCOME VISITORS eeks after Maryland lifted its ban on recreational boating, our beloved local historic vessels are finally able to take guests out for tours as part of the state’s Road to Recovery Phase One— with distancing measures, of course. One such vessel, the skipjack Wilma Lee, is making her debut as a Bay tour vessel. The historic oyster boat owned by the Annapolis Maritime Museum was approved by the Coast Guard to carry passengers a few weeks ago. Bay Bulletin went along for a cruise this week as the captain and crew members finished their training to welcome passengers on board. The Phase One restrictions allow for 10 people on board, including the captain and crew. Benches were added to the Wilma Lee about eight years ago. She will start her first public tours through Annapolis this weekend. Wilma Lee is one of the few remaining skipjacks on the Chesapeake Bay. Captain Rick Flamand tells us, “At one point there were somewhere between 800 to 1,000 skipjacks just on the Chesapeake Bay. Today, we are down to 22 that still float and only six are actually dredging for oysters.” This particular skipjack was built in 1940 by famed boatbuilder Bronza Parks. She was restored by a private owner, then donated to a nonprofit in Pamlico Sound, N.C. When the group was forced to sell her for financial reasons, they reached out to Bay Bulletin to get the word out for a possible buyer to bring her back to the Chesapeake Bay. An anonymous donation allowed the Annapolis Maritime Museum to buy Wilma Lee and return her to the Bay. “It’s important for people to realize this is actually a piece of history. And the Wilma Lee, she is a survivor. She had a full life dredging oysters from 1940 to the late 1990s,” says crew member Dennis Krizek. Maritime history is kept alive over at Annapolis Sailing Cruises, too—the operators of the Woodwind I and II, as sails get underway this weekend for the yachts’ 28th tour season. The boats are so eye-catching, the newer one was featured in the movie Wedding Crashers. “We designed them to look like the clas-

sic sailing yacht of the 1930s-40s, so everything is like gleaming, stainless, wood and white and mahogany and all that,” says Captain Jennifer Kaye, the general manager of Annapolis Sailing Cruises: Schooner Woodwind. The schooners’ season is starting nearly two months late and welcoming a limited number of passengers on each cruise. “We feel that we have a super safe way to present sailing on that boat,” Kaye tells us. Unfortunately, the tide hasn’t turned for Baltimore’s landmark vessels just yet. The president of Historic Ships in Baltimore says they may be able to open to the public later this month. The Pride of Baltimore II will remain closed to the public this season. In St. Michaels, home to the historic vessels of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, the campus is closed to the public through June 15. The Sultana Education Foundation in Chestertown, operators of the schooner Sultana, are planning to offer limited programming this summer. Luckily, navigating ever-changing conditions is what these vessels know how to do.

WHITE MARLIN OPEN EXPECTS RECORD BOAT TURNOUT, POSSIBLE CROWD LIMITS t a time when so many anticipated summer events are canceled, the White Marlin Open is moving forward with its 47th annual offshore fishing tournament—the largest billfish tournament in the world—in Ocean City this August. The competition, taking place offshore, allows for plenty of social distancing as it is. Competitors are allowed to depart from anywhere within the 100 nautical mile limit fishing boundary, from Barnegat, NJ and Cape May Inlet all the way down to Rudee Inlet. The restrictions on crowd size at the weigh-in dock will be dictated by local and state guidelines on gatherings at the time of the tournament—August 3 through August 7. White Marlin Open organizers are expecting a record number of entries and an estimated $6.5 million in payouts, topping the record $6.1 million paid out in 2019. Prizes are awarded for catches of white marlin, blue marlin, tuna, wahoo, dolphin, and shark, as well as most release points by boat and daily catches of wahoo, tuna and dolphin. “A record boat turnout is expected, as people are ready for sports to return and anglers are anxious to get back out on the water, especially as fuel prices

are drastically lower than last year,” said Jim Motsko, founder of the White Marlin Open tournament. The tournament directors reassure entrants that even if crowd size is limited, “nothing about the fishing experience will be altered.” “The main impact we’ll see due to state and local guidelines for social distancing is around spectators viewing the weigh-ins…Our goal is to share the tournament experience as best we can—especially the weigh-ins—in the safest manner possible so that families can continue to enjoy Tournament Week here in Ocean City,” the directors say. White Marlin Open organizers have added a new category for 2020, Level Pay Day, in which “the total purse will be divided by five days. Each day’s purse will be split evenly among those winning first, second or third place white marlin, blue marlin and tuna that day. If there are no winners for a particular day, the un-won prize money will be split evenly among the purses of the other days.” To find out more about the tournament, go to www.whitemarlinopen.com —MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

The drive-in at Running Hare Vineyard on opening weekend.

Vineyard’s Drive-in Theater Offers Scenic — and Distanced — Movie Setting BY KRISTA PFUNDER

ho says we can’t have fun while staying six feet apart and hanging out in our car? A drive-in theater newly opened at Running Hare Vineyard in Prince Frederick lets film fans enjoy a movie theater experience while safely distanced. The setting of this cinema experience could be a scene straight out of a film. “We are screening movies in a field next to our red wine vines,” says Matt Scarborough, COO of Running Hare Vineyard. “The area overlooks the rolling hills and vines of our vineyard. People see the vines when they first arrive.” The large outdoor screen is 18-feet tall and 24-feet wide, half as wide as a semi-truck. Moviegoers can watch from the comfort and privacy of their own vehicles. But no drive-in experience is complete without snacks, and the vine-

yard is making sure moviegoers have plenty of concession choices. “We are offering wine, beer and wine slushies,” Scarborough says. “Food options include wood-fired pizzas, street tacos, French fries and onion rings.” The vineyard launched the theater experience this past weekend to an enthusiastic crowd, showing Grease, The Goonies and Toy Story. “Opening weekend went really well,” Scarborough says. “We had 150 cars Friday night and 200 cars Saturday and Sunday nights.” You can take in a night at the movies for $25 per car. Members of the vineyard’s VIP clubs receive a discount on movie tickets, based upon their membership level. Purchase tickets on the Running Hare Vineyard Facebook page. Gates open at 7pm, movies begin 8:30pm. This week’s lineup is: Thursday June 4 Ferris Bueller’s Day Off; Friday June 5, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby; Saturday June 6, The Sandlot; and Sunday June 7, Princess Bride.

The Irish Come to Town Football rivalry staged in Annapolis for the first time BY KATHY KNOTTS

he Fighting Irish are coming to Annapolis. A long-standing football rivalry between Navy and Notre Dame, that was set to be played overseas, will instead take place in Annapolis for the first time in its history this Labor Day weekend. The Aer Lingus Classic football game, intended to be played August 29 at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, will instead be played at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. The game will be the 94th consecutive matchup of the longest continuous intersectional rivalry in the country between the Fighting Irish and the Midshipmen. “We normally play (the game) in an NFL stadium, which is twice the size of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium,” says Scott Strasemeier, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Sports Information at USNA. “Because of COVID-19 and the very real likelihood that we will have very limited seating for this game it didn’t make sense to play it in an NFL stadium.” “We are obviously disappointed not to be traveling to Ireland this August,” said Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk. “But, as expected, our priority must be ensuring the health and safety of all involved. I am expecting that we will still be able to play Notre Dame as our season opener, but there is still much to be determined by health officials and those that govern college football at large.” Organizers say the game is still being planned for Labor Day weekend and should be televised nationally by ESPN or ABC, although specific details have not been set. Strasemeier is hopeful that fans may be able to attend in person. The last Navy-Notre Dame game held at Aviva Stadium, back in 2012, was a huge success with over 35,000 fans traveling from the United States and this year there were close to 40,000 expected to attend the sold-out game. The Navy-Marine Corps Stadium has a current seating capacity of 34,000. If fans were allowed at the Annapolis game, they would be kept well below capacity. ‫ﵭ‬

DINING at Pandemic means outdoor dining Chesapeake style BY CHERYL COSTELLO, KRISTA PFUNDER AND KATHY KNOTTS

PHOTOS BY JIM BURGER

ith every week of the coronavirus pandemic comes a new lesson in safe business operations, social navigation and cautious, yet optimistic, behavior. We’ve begun a new chapter in the 2020 crisis as restaurants offer some hope for a restless region. On Friday, May 29, at 5pm, the neon glow of open signs lit up, the welcome mats were laid out and patio tables were dusted off as restaurants, bars,

means high contact surfaces are disinfected after each use, face coverings are worn by staff interacting with the public and each other. Restrooms are open for dine-in locations. Restaurants must distance tables a minimum of nine feet apart, with a limit of six people per table. Large crowds and gatherings are to be discouraged where customers enter or exit the seating areas. For those Calvert County businesses that don’t normally have outdoor din-

Bay Weekly talked to Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley as the city was poised to launch its outdoor dining—an opportunity a lot of locals were happy to take advantage of this week. breweries, wineries and cafes served sit-down meals to diners for the first time in months. Governor Larry Hogan announced last week that outdoor dining is permitted now as long as businesses—and patrons—abide by certain regulations. While Hogan again gave jurisdictions the decision-making power in implementation, he did outline specific best practices in this phase of his Roadmap to Recovery. Restaurants must follow state guidelines including distancing between tables, table seating limits, paper or sanitized menus, employee training and staff screenings before they return to work. In Calvert County, outdoor service

ing areas or plan to use temporary tents, plans must be submitted to the Office of Inspections and Permits. In Anne Arundel County a temporary use order allows food and beverage service outdoors without a permit application. All establishments that already have permitted outdoor seating areas may use them in accordance with the state guidance. On June 3, the City of Annapolis began the implementation of Recovery Districts and Recovery Zones.

to take advantage of this week. Mayor Buckley, a member of the business community himself, positioned Annapolis at the leading edge of preparing to reopen retail businesses and restaurants. As we interviewed him at the top of Main Street, business owners spotted the mayor and wanted to say hello. “I’m a small business owner. And so I understand the struggles of small business and how important it is to be a partner and not be part of the problem,” the mayor tells us.

Dining al fresco in Annapolis is reminiscent of Dinner Under the Stars, a summertime initiative in which the first block of West Street is shut down to traffic and restaurants move tables outside on Wednesday nights. Mayor Buckley says he’s done all he can to help keep the lights on. He and the Annapolis Small Business Recovery Task Force have been at the forefront of pushing the city to the next phase of reopening following coronavirus shutdowns. “The restaurants are not going to open to the same capacity internally and they’re going to have to have expanded outdoor seating…That means reclaiming sidewalks, reclaiming your own parking lots, maybe taking a parking spot outside of your business.” Dining al fresco in Annapolis is reminiscent of Dinner Under the Stars, a summertime initiative in which the first block of West Street is shut down to traffic and restaurants move tables outside on Wednesday nights. Mayor Buckley was one of the original planners of that program, and it fits well with the current distancing guidelines. “We’ll do a signature socially-dis-

tanced Dining Under the Stars and that means that we take all of the concentration of people that usually go to West street for Dining Under the Stars and we spread them throughout the city. So there is a version of Dining Under the Stars on Fourth Street in Eastport. There is a version of it on South Forest Drive. There is a version of it in West Annapolis,” the mayor explains. He says the city’s distancing rules are coordinated with County Executive Pittman. “Every decision we make we do together,” Buckley says. “We’ll be planning these recovery zones jointly. I plan on being here on the first day we do this with Steuart Pittman and his wife to have a socially-distanced gathering and set an example on how you’re supposed to do it.” The mayor says there are layers of protection, like employee temperature checks and hand-washing stations. Signs are up on parking meters to remind people of the basics: wear a face mask, practice physical distancing, and wash your hands. “Each one of the businesses in these

zones has guidelines on how to operate under a COVID structure,” says the mayor. Businesses know they can serve alcohol but signboards are up reminding visitors there are no open alcohol containers. Along Dock Street this Memorial Day weekend, visitors were out relaxing with a cold one. We asked the mayor about enforcement at City Dock. “I’m not going to say people didn’t abuse it. I’m saying to them please help us and don’t flaunt it,” he says. “We have a policy with our police department to tell people to make sure you remind people there’s no open containers. But the reality is people are out and they came out because they could pour a drink for themselves at home, they could make food for themselves at home—they want to be out. So that’s the balancing act we had to do in this city. We have to deescalate, give friendly reminders to people.” As for the businesses hit hard by pandemic restrictions, Buckley tells us some won’t recover. He says taking the next steps is a delicate balancing act between health and safety and protecting people’s livelihoods. “People have a lot of anxiety. So you need to do it gradually and you need to do it with best practices,” he tells us. While summer on the Bay may not look the same as in years past, diners in Chesapeake Country can breathe a little easier as they enjoy dining al fresco—at a safe distance. ‫ﵭ‬

Free Fishing Days

Paca Plant Sale

Want to hook a white perch just like Dennis Doyle, our Sporting Life columnist? Don’t have a fishing license? Not a problem this Sunday, June 6. The Department of Natural Resources offers license-free fishing days so that you can get out and explore our diverse waterways without a fishing license, trout stamp, or registration. Safe precautions are still necessary, so anglers should follow the guidelines for physical distancing (which most anglers desire anyway) and no more than ten in a group. If you can’t make it out this weekend, next Sunday June 13 and July 4 are also fee-free days. On these days, any individual may catch and possess finfish in any tidal and nontidal waters of Maryland, as long as it’s for recreational purposes. All anglers must follow current size and catch limits.

A tradition for over 40 years, the William Paca Garden Plant Sale has been reimagined for 2020. You still get to take home a piece of history but due to the current COVID-19 restrictions the plant sale is now operating on a pre-order and curbside pickup system. The catalog is online now and ordering is open thru noon June 11. After you choose your new potted friend, you choose a pickup time, too.

SPORTING LIFE

BY DENNIS DOYLE

June Means Perch for Dinner E asing up to the shoreline in my small skiff, I held my light, six-foot spin rod. It was tipped with an old reliable spinner bait, a gold blade rooster tail in Chartreuse Coach Dog. The shallows were mud brown but this lure was my bad water medicine. The third cast was a charm: the lure stopped, I set the hook and the dance music started. There’s nothing like a white perch battle to charm a morning. I was using six-pound test line, stealthy enough for these foul water days and I lost far fewer lures to sunken debris. The spunky brute’s first run got the drag humming, always a good sign. I kept the rod bent and let the rascal have its head. Horsing in a fresh whitey is a sure way to lose quick, its fragile mouth structure will not stand

a lot of pressure. Eventually, I got the frisky fish to the gunwale and lifted it to my hand. Well over nine inches (I have 12-inch ruler tape everywhere on the skiff ’s hull), he plopped nicely into my holding bucket. I just needed a half dozen for a quick fry-up for myself and my wife and this was an excellent start. There are a number of ways to go after white perch and since it’s the most plentiful fish in the Bay, you can encounter them almost everywhere. My first preference is casting lures to shallow shoreline structures any place there are rocks, downed trees, old piers, the remains of docks, submerged bushes, or shaded areas. June is when the perch are fully in residence. The best lures are rooster tails, Capt. Bert’s Perch Pounders, beetle spins,

Mepps spinners, Tony Accetta spoons, and small Rat-L-Traps. The colors are anyone’s preference but my old rule of thumb has always been that the best color will be the one you don’t have. I keep a wide variety available at all times, though you can’t go wrong with silver or gold, chartreuse, white, yellow, and orange. You can also fish the same shoreline areas with bait-tipped shad darts under weighted, casting bobbers. Pieces of blood worm, grass shrimp and small, lip-hooked minnows will draw the desired attention almost immediately. It’s also a good idea to keep a net handy. A crab net works nicely and you won’t have to describe that trophy 12-incher as “the one that got away.” Bottom fishing can be equally as productive and a top and bottom rig with number 4 hooks, a one-ounce sinker, and bloodworms, razor clams, crab, minnows, red worms or a combination

S AT U R D AY

of any of those can make for a very active day. You’ll need plenty of baits; white perch are accomplished thieves. Drifting a boat along channel edges in 12- to 15-foot depths can also provide endless adventures with the same bait setups, as can dropping smallish metal jigs resembling minnows and small baitfish. Perch are aggressive feeders and will hit just about anything they can get into their mouth if it’s presented properly. The table quality of a white perch is beyond reproach and they are at their best when fried. Dressing the fish out, blotting them dry, then dipping the pieces in a sticky mixture of beer and flour and rolling them in Panko (Japanese bread crumbs) or crushed crackers or even just cornmeal are the first steps. Frying them golden brown in hot peanut oil (400 degrees) is the last step and reliably produces a meal that can bring tears to one’s eyes (definitely mine). Bon appetit! ‫ﵭ‬

FISHFINDER: The summer season is finally here, rockfish are legal in all of the tributaries and all baits, including eels, are now legal. The possession limit however is one rockfish of 19 inches or greater. The best bite is shifting to the south from Thomas Point on down, though a few fish are filtering up toward Baltimore Harbor. Trolling is still the best approach as the stripers have not yet formed any large schools nor moved into their traditional summertime areas. Casting soft plastics to structures should become productive in the near future. The first few spots have arrived in the mid-Bay but they are not yet numerous enough to gin up the live lining bite. Blue catfish are around but not in the numbers they were in early spring though they could return. White perch are fully in residence throughout the tribs and responding nicely to baits of all types. Spot and croaker are due anytime now and in the southern Bay, spotted seatrout and redfish are rewarding anglers willing to travel. Crabbing is becoming worth the effort and a half bushel or so is a definite possibility. The year is here, get some!

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Flashes of Blue I recently went on a long walk at Kinder Farm Park. It wasn’t very crowded and the people I walked past maintained social distancing and many had mouth coverings. One person was bird watching. Kinder Farm Park has been a spot well-known for a wide variety of birds. Some of the interesting birds I have observed there include cuckoos, chats, prairie warblers, nesting kestrels, great horned owls, various hawks, Baltimore orioles, blue grosbeaks, and the colorful indigo bunting. During my recent walk, I saw five male indigo buntings. I heard them before I saw them. Their singing is pretty distinctive and in the early spring, they do a lot of it to establish territory and attract a mate. The male buntings have iridescent feathers that yield a different hue depending on the angle of the light. With the sun behind

them, they appear dark blue, almost black. At eye level with the light coming from behind the observer, they become a bright indigo blue. Indigo buntings eat seeds, fruit, and some insects. They prefer open areas and are found at the edges of roadways, powerline right-of-ways, and along the edge of forests. I tend to find them near wild cherry trees and blackberry brambles. The singing males like to perch atop small trees in or near a field. Most are fairly wary and will fly if approached. If they have a nest nearby, they may approach you chattering and fluttering in an attempt to lead you away from the nest. The drab brown female makes her nest in dense foliage. She takes on the chick-rearing responsibilities as she both makes the nest and feeds the chicks. The male stays nearby on alert for danger. The birds typically have two broods a year with an average of three chicks each. The young leave the nest fairly quickly, going from being a just-laid egg to a flying fledgling in 22 days.

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

BY MARIA PRICE

Each fall, the buntings migrate south for the winter with half staying along the Gulf coast and a half traveling to Mexico and South America. Over recent years, the returning birds’ summer nesting range has shifted north. Audubon scientists have shown they are now uncommon in its previous southern range of Alabama and Georgia and have expanded into Canada.

Bring Biodiversity to the Garden ringing assasin bugs and predatory wasps to your yard may sound like a questionable goal, but they’re just two of the diverse species that can help your garden flourish. I have found the key to a good organic garden can be summed up with the four P’s: pollinators, predators, parasitoids, and passerines. Pollinators include European honeybees, bumblebees, solitary bees, syrphid flies, tachinid flies (fuzzy black flies) and small non-stinging predatory wasps. Two out of every three mouthfuls you eat are brought to you by the work of pollinating insects. Predators (native and non-native) include minute pirate bugs, assassin bugs, soldier bugs, tachinid flies, ladybugs, and lacewings. Predators chew pests with their mandibles or jaws and pierce them with tube-like mouthparts and suck out their innards. Psycho bugs! Parasitoids lay their eggs nearby, on or in pests and include syrphid flies, tachinid flies, and many wasp species. The larval stage is in the parasite that kills the host pest by slowly eating first the nonessential organs, then the essential organs. The parasite wants to keep its host alive as long as possible. Some species serve as both predator in the adult phase and parasitoids in the larval stage.

Passerines or perching birds, like this peacock, are important to a garden because they help control damaging insects.

16 • BAY WEEKLY • June 4 - June 11, 2020

The indigo bunting is very common in our area and is likely to be found in any county or state park. Although the park’s management and usage have seemed to have decreased some bird activity, Kinder Farm Park remains a hotspot for buntings. Listen to their songs on the Cornell University Ornithology All About Birds website. That way you can find them before you can see them. ‫ﵭ‬

Passerines are garden songbirds that feast on insects, like titmice, chickadees, warblers, vireos, hermit thrushes, flycatchers, wrens, bluebirds, and many more. Insectivore songbirds can exert a huge control of detrimental insects such as aphids, thrips, mites, scale, mealybugs, and caterpillars. Attract beneficial insects to your garden with plants that provide pollen and nectar. The carrot family, which includes Queen Anne’s lace, angelica, and Ammi magus, attracts many species of predatory wasp. Plants in the aster family include cornflowers, cosmos, fleabane, goldenrod, tickseed, Mexican sunflower, sunflowers, and yarrow, all produce a lot of pollen. The carnation family provides nectar; choose from fragrant clove pinks, sweet Williams, and soapworts. The mint family has lavender, mints, rosemary, sage, and catmint for both abundant pollen and nectar. The buckwheat family attracts pollinators and the rose family, especially the old-fashioned types, provide fragrance and nectar. Snapdragon and foxgloves provide us with cut flowers and attract many beneficial insects. A garden full of a variety of plants will bring the four Ps and diversity to your landscape. ‫ﵭ‬

THE MOVIEGOER

BY DIANA BEECHENER

Movies to Put Your Mind at Ease T his year has been hard and June appears to bring us more difficult times. But when the news is bleak and we’re still supposed to be distancing, we can still take some solace in a good movie. When you need a break from the stress, try this feel-good lineup for movie night with your family (or via Zoom with a few friends).

NETFLIX: Groundhog Day Jaded weatherman Phil (Bill Murray) is sick of his job and resents having to travel to a small town in Pennsylvania every year to cover Groundhog Day. His terrible attitude bleeds into his crew. He ruins takes, he hits on his new producer (Andie MacDowell) and is genuinely pretty horrible to the people around him. The only solace Phil takes from his horrible day is that he can leave in the morning—or so he thinks. Phil wakes up to find he’s reliving the same day leaving him confused. When he relives the day a dozen more times, he starts to crack and wonder if there’s a way to break the cycle and escape from Groundhog Day. A comedy classic about learning from your mistakes and using your free time to get some cool new skills, Groundhog Day might be the ultimate shelter-in-place film. Director Harold Ramis combines slapstick comedy and a heartfelt message about improving yourself. Phil is an absolute monster of a man, but eventually he learns that monstrous behavior won’t get him what he wants. Great Comedy * PG * 101 mins.

HULU: Bumblebee Lonely teen Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld) is a budding mechanic who used to fix cars on the weekends with her dad. Charlie is still in mourning after her father’s death and she doesn’t want to bond with her new stepfather or engage with her family. The only bright spot in her life is her VW Bug, claimed from a salvage yard. Charlie is convinced she can get the beat-up car running, but is shocked when the car springs to life, literally. It’s an Autobot, a Transformer hiding from both Decepticons and the U.S. government, and now Charlie must protect it. A charming coming-of-age story about grief, love, and allowing yourself to be emotionally vulnerable, Bumblebee is easily the best of the Transform-

ers movies. Director Travis Knight infuses the movie with a delicate sense of love and robust character development not present in any of the other films. The movie hinges on a terrific performance from Steinfeld, who makes Charlie’s anger and frustration relatable as she tries to navigate the new normal in her life. Good Family Dramedy * PG-13 * 114 mins.

Jillian Bell in Brittany Runs a Marathon

goal is to help her family buy a home. When a missionary teacher offers lessons in chess, Phiona’s world changes. It turns out, she’s got a brain for strategy. Soon Phiona is the best player in the village with hopes of competing in international tournaments. Is Phiona ready to compete at international levels and win money for her family? Queen of Katwe is a rare film that captures the culture of the people and places it portrays. Based on a true story, this is a film about perseverance. Director Mira Nair lovingly portrays the people of Kampala, developing Phiona and her family into fully realized characters. Their lives are not easy, but never does Nair stoop to exploitation. This movie reminds you of the power of community and how important it is for a child to have someone believe in them. Great Dramedy * PG * 124 mins.

PRIME: Brittany Runs a Marathon Brittany (Jillian Bell) repeats the same patterns almost every night. She drinks too much, she sleeps with random men who show no interest in her, and she wakes up hating herself just a little bit. When she goes to a doctor and is told she needs to adopt a healthier lifestyle, Brittany balks. But after a good look at her life, Brittany buys some running shoes. It’s slow going at first. She can’t even make it around the block. But eventually, Brittany likes the way she feels after a run. She starts eating better, running longer, and respecting herself. But all of Brittany’s hangups won’t go away just because she’s running. She struggles with having to commit to becoming a better person. Hilarious and tender, Brittany Runs a Marathon is a movie that perfectly captures how difficult it is to make a lasting change in life. Bell is wonderful as a childish woman who grows to appreciate herself as she logs miles. But her sense of accomplishment starts to color her behavior and soon she learns that simply being conventionally attractive doesn’t make you attractive as a person. If you want inspiration to make a change or just inspiration to log some miles on the treadmill, this is the film for you. Great Comedy * R * 104 mins.

DISNEY+: Queen of Katwe Phiona (Madina Nalwanga) sells maize to help her mother make ends meet in the Kampala, Uganda. Her

KANOPY: Mon Oncle Monsieur Hulot (Jacques Tati) enjoys his quirky life. An odd man who loves antiquated things, he is adored by his nephew and despised by his brother-in-law, Monsieur Arpel. While Hulot is content with simple pleasures, Arpel believes in technology and consumerism. His whole house is automated and he has no use for Hulot’s more humble philosophy. Determined to get Hulot on pace with modern life, Arpel finds him a job in his factory. But Hulot’s bumbling nature and silly mistakes cause disaster after disaster. Can Hulot ever catch up to the pace of modern life? Or should the rest of the world slow down? The rare foreign film that requires no subtitles or dubbing, Mon Oncle is a charming, hilarious family film about the importance of human connection. Writer/director/star Tati manages to infuse a film with barely any dialogue with a huge amount of heart. M. Hulot is a sweet man who’s being left behind by the world, a fate he’s well aware of. But even as he feels his way of life becoming obsolete, he’s able to connect with his nephew, who adores his more personal approach to life. Tati is also able to pull off satire without ever seeming mean or cruel— it’s a film full of keen observances and no barbs. Tati was regarded as the Buster Keaton of France, and you’ll see this influence in Mon Oncle. Great Comedy * NR * 110 mins.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries poet Paul Verlaine wrote “Autumn Song” in 1866. It became a wellknown French poem, and eventually played a role in a historical turning point. In June 1944, a top-secret British spy organization used the poem as a code to communicate crucial information to the French Resistance, via BBC radio, about the allies’ upcoming D-Day invasion of Normandy. In the spirit of poetry being used to accomplish practical actions, I’m now sending out a burst of code to you, Aries. It’s adapted from another poem by Verlaine: “Delight in good-omened fortune, baptized by the bristling scents of mint, thyme, and clover on the wind of dawn.” Regard this as a signal for you to acquire a necessary resource, strengthen connections with key allies, and intensify your current quest.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Jacquemus Mini Le Chiquito” is the name of a tiny purse you can buy for $522. It fits into the palm of your hand, and won’t hold much—maybe a singleuse strand of dental floss, a shoe from a Barbie doll, a snippet of a loved one’s hair, an aspirin, maybe a few crumbs from a potato chip. In any case, I don’t recommend it for you. You should be surrounding yourself with symbols of capaciousness and roominess. You need influences that inspire you to be a spacious container. It’s time for you to welcome and receive an abundance of blessings, inquiries, and invitations.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus philosopher Bertrand Russell observed, “The best life is the one in which the creative impulses play the largest part and the possessive impulses the smallest.” That is always an important principle for everyone to embrace, in my opinion. But it will be an especially essential truth for you in the coming weeks. Your creative powers will thrive, even soar and generate blessings, to the degree that you downplay and outwit your possessive inclinations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Worry is a way to pretend that you have knowledge or control over what you don’t,” writes author Rebecca Solnit. “And it surprises me, even in myself, how much we prefer ugly scenarios to the pure unknown.” Your assignment in the coming weeks is to thoroughly incorporate Solnit’s wisdom—and then wield it with tender ferocity as you reshape your relationship with the future. See if you can manage, if only for ten days, to fight off and dissolve the reflex to worry. Here’s a tip: Any time the agitated fantasy of an ugly scenario rises up in your imagination, remind yourself that it’s not objectively true and immediately replace it with a fantasy of a desirable scenario.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “It’s OK to live a life others don’t understand,” writes author Jenna Woginrich. That’s a healthy attitude for an eccentric person like her, who taught herself by trial and error how to run a small farm with a meager budget while all alone in the middle of nowhere. But does her advice apply to everyone? I say yes, it does. All of us have quirky behaviors and idiosyncratic ideas and odd feelings that other people find hard to understand, let alone appreciate. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because the coming weeks will be a time when it’s best for you to emancipate yourself as much as possible from the need to be perfectly understood as you express your raw, pure, unique self.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I’m one of the lucky people who has never been addicted to alcohol or drugs. What’s the source of my great fortune? Two kinds of grace are key: I suffered no abuse and trauma when I was growing up, and my genetic make-up doesn’t predispose me to self-medicate with intoxicants. But I am indeed a bit addicted to other things, like fearful fantasies, sexual feelings, and the urge to win arguments. So I’m blessed in some ways, cursed in others—just like all of us! In honor of our season of introspection, my fellow Cancerian, I invite you to do what I just did: Count your blessings and curses. Doing so will bring you just the right kind of healing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Nobel Prize-winning Libran author William Faulkner was asked by a cousin if he was drunk when he dreamed up the imaginative stories and characters in his novels. The truth was that on occasion Faulkner did indeed consume alcohol in excessive amounts. However, he rarely indulged while actually writing. His creative ideas mostly came from his fertile imagination, not an unhinged spirit. In the coming weeks, I hope you will be like Faulkner during the inventive phases he enjoyed while sober and disciplined and driven by focused intention. The astrological omens suggest that’s the best recipe for generating original ideas and productive visions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “What use is this howling tenderness?” wrote eighth-century Tamil mystic poet Andal. My research on Google reveals that no one has answered her question until now. I decided you would benefit from hearing my response, since you are in a chapter of your life story when howling tenderness could work to your benefit. So here’s my counsel: Howling tenderness is useful because it has the power to shatter mysterious barriers that have been at least partially obstructing you from exploring the frontiers of sacred intimacy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield

articulates the spiritual medicine I think you should seek in the coming weeks. You especially need it, and by happy coincidence, it’s likely to be available. Kornfield writes: “When we have for so long been judged by everyone we meet, just to look into the eyes of another who does not judge us can be extraordinarily healing.” I urge you to identify the people who can perform this service for you, then ask them pointblank to perform this service, even if it has to happen over FaceTime or via Zoom. To generate the good karma that will ensure this happens in just the right way, offer to perform the same service for others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “The changes we dread most may contain our salvation,” writes author Barbara Kingsolver. Although I mostly agree with her conclusion, I’ll also suggest that we could come up with less melodramatic versions of it. For example, we might say, “The adjustments we’re resisting may actually be healthy.” Or “The uncomfortable transitions we’re avoiding might ultimately lead to a better version of comfort.” Or “The revelations we’re attempting to ignore and deny could eventually be the source of relief and release.” Do any of these work for you right now, Capricorn? I bet at least one does.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some people seem to think of sacredness as being pristine and pious— an immaculate and orderly transcendence of earthly concerns. Author and minister Marilyn Sewell has a different perspective. “Who can order the Holy?” she asks. “It is like a rain forest, dripping, lush, fecund, wild. We enter its abundance at our peril, for here we are called to the wholeness for which we long, but which requires all we are and can hope to be.” I recommend Sewell’s version of holiness to you in the coming weeks, Aquarius. You’re primed to upgrade and deepen your sacred lust for life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When Europeans arrived in the New World, the Iroquois Confederacy in what’s now northeastern North American had been practicing participatory democracy for 350 years. The visionary principles of these native people ultimately influenced the formation of the United States and its Constitution. Now would be a good time for you to be inspired by these facts. How? You could draw teachings from the past and use them to create your future. You could study the perspectives of indigenous people and incorporate their wisdom into the way you live your life. You could tune in to and explore the traditions of people you respect and adopt them for your own use. Homework: What’s your favorite thing to do when you’re alone? Testify: FreeWillAstrology.com

Another Job Threatened

In 2013, Chad Dearth of Overland Park, Kansas, purchased his dream car, a 1964 Chevy Impala, and got an “antique” license plate for it. Since then, he has sold the car and moved to a new neighborhood, but earlier this year he received word that seven to 10 collection letters a day were arriving at his old address from state turnpike authorities up and down the East Coast. That’s when Dearth learned that Kansas is one of a few states that assign identical numbers to different categories of specialty license plates, and his old antique plate number matched the number on a commercial semi truck—the one photographed by one of the authorities demanding payment for toll violations. Lee Ann Phelps, vehicle services manager for the Kansas Department of Revenue, told Fox4 she doesn’t know why the state uses identical numbers, but there are about 625,000 plates in the state that share a number. Kansas has issued a new license for the truck, but in the meantime, the bills continue. Dearth most recently got a letter from the Delaware Turnpike Authority seeking $479.

Massachusetts-based Boston Dynamics has partnered with the New Zealand robotics company Rocos to develop a robotic dog, Spot, to herd sheep. “The age of autonomous robots is upon us,” Rocos chief executive David Inggs told United Press International. The dog can be controlled remotely as it guides sheep through mountainous and difficult terrain, according to the company. “It just needs to walk with intent toward the sheep and they seem to respond,” said Richard Stinear, Rocos chief technology officer. In other words, they act like sheep.

Security agencies in India thought they may have captured a Pakistani spy after villagers in Manyari, a border town in the disputed region of Kashmir, delivered the courier to police, but the mole wasn’t a mole at all; it was a pigeon. According to Sky News, Kathua Police Superintendent Shailendra Mishra said the bird flew into a home on May 24 and a “ring was seen attached to one of its legs with some numbers on it ... Some called it a coded message.” Authorities are trying to decipher the message, as pigeons have been used for espionage in the disputed region in the past. Meanwhile, the BBC reports that a Pakistani man named Habibullah is claiming the pigeon is his, and the number on the ring is his mobile phone number. Habibullah, who lives just a few miles from the India/Pakistan border, has asked for the pigeon’s return and told local media India should “refrain from victimizing innocent birds.”

Police in Miramar, Florida, are still trying to identify a man who was caught on surveillance video ransacking Miramar High School on May 25.

Folks in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, have been hearing odd, loud banging noises at all hours over the past few weeks. “We’re all hearing it and it’s interrupting our sleep,” Heather Donily told the CBC. “There’s a sense of panic when you first hear it.” Most people believe the noises are “bear bangers”—noisy flares used to scare bears away in the wilderness—and police are investigating, but Councilman Pete Fry has concerns: “Bear bangers actually do have the potential to cause harm. ... If they’re being indiscriminately used throughout the city ... somebody might actually get hurt.” ‫ﵭ‬ Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.

UFO hunter Scott Waring discovered what he believes to be the “entrance to an alien base” on Earth on May 13 by studying Google Earth. According to the Mirror, Waring said the base doesn’t fit in with its surroundings on a “small and uninhabited island in Indonesia” and “aliens would love to have a hidden base” in such a secluded location. Using a Google Earth tool, he measured the opening, which is about 66 feet across—big enough, he said, to “get a lot of alien ships in there.” One commenter on Waring’s YouTube channel praised his finding: “My gut tells me this is 100% legit. Good job man!”

• San Diego police responding to a burglar alarm at a Wells Fargo bank in Chollas View, California, around 3:30 a.m. on May 27, found a broken window by the bank’s drive-thru. Alarm company personnel told officers surveillance cameras showed a man inside the bank’s break room, using the microwave. Police gained entry to the bank and arrested the unnamed man, who told KGTV he had gone into the bank only to warm up his Hot Pockets. Asked if the Hot Pockets were worth the arrest, the man said,

The Allure of Junk Food

Egyptian talk show host Lobna Asal abruptly fled the studio mid-interview on May 27 after being attacked by the monkey brought to the set by her interview subject, actor Ibrahim El-Samman, United Press International reported. Appearing on Egyptian channel Al Hayat, the monkey co-starred with El-Samman on his latest project, and at first settled in Asal’s lap for several minutes, calmly listening to the conversation, but then jumped down and attacked her legs. As she ran off, another person arrived to wrangle the primate.

A.K. Shihabudheen of Malappuram, India, and his wife cracked an egg from one of their chickens about nine months ago and were surprised to see a dark green yolk, rather than the standard yellow. “All the eggs which the hen laid ... were this kind,” Shihabudheen told The News Minute, “and so we started to incubate the eggs. Out of the six chicks which hatched from these eggs, a few have started to lay eggs and those yolks are also green in color.” The eggs taste like other eggs and cause no health problems, the family said. Experts from Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University suspect the feed given to the birds may be behind the phenomenon, according to Dr. S. Sankaralingam, but Shihabudheen says he gives all his birds the same feed.

Bird Brain

“Hell yeah it was worth it.” • City Parks and Recreation employee Zach Morris was cleaning up storm damage in Wynne, Arkansas, at the city’s sports complex on May 24 when he noticed that someone had broken into the concession stand. “The whole place was just looted,” Morris told WREG. The stand had been fully stocked for games scheduled before COVID-19 lockdowns began, and thieves helped themselves to drinks and candy, even taking the time to prepare nachos and popcorn before they left. Police are hoping the culprits will confess. “The right thing to do is take responsibility for the mistakes you made,” Morris said.

in 2 minutes from the letters in: Interrobang What punctuation should you use when making a statement and asking a question in the same sentence? Like saying, “Where's the fire?!” or “Are you really meeting her for lunch?!” Most use the ?! next to each other, but in 1962, advertising exec Martin Speckter combined the two into one symbol called the interrobang. The interro is for interrogation, or a question, and the bang is a printer's term for the exclamation point. Marketing execs are also looking to combine the dollar sign with the pound sign to make a new currency type which can be printed to excess, since they'll only be worth half their value anyway. Scoring: 31 - 40 = Aloft; 26 - 30 = Ahead; 21 - 25 = Aweigh; 16 - 20 = Amidships; 11 - 15 = Aboard; 05 - 10 = Adrift; 01 - 05 = Aground
