No Boats Left Behind Boating Flourishes on the Bay

I

f you asked me to recall a typical summer evening from my childhood, one phrase would immediately come to mind: creek crawl.

Born and raised on Cypress Creek up the Magothy River, I had an evening ritual with my mom and dad. Before dinnertime, my dad would say, “Who wants to go for a boat ride?!” already knowing the answer. He’d coax the outboard motor on our 1969 Thunderbird Cheyenne runabout to start, and in the pre-sunset golden hour, we’d take off for a leisurely cruise to no specific destination.

The low rumble of the outboard at six knots and the smell of gasoline soothed me. As a toddler, I was known to doze off in my life jacket on these creek crawls. When I got older, I relished the chance to take the wheel for my dad, proudly waving to other boaters we passed.

At the mouth of the creek, we’d decide on the fly which part of the Magothy to head for: Cattail Creek, Ulmstead, Gibson Island? When we got where we were going, we’d simply putter up the creek until the depth finder’s alarm went off, and then turn around. We checked out the waterfront homes (the bigger the windows the

CONTENTS BAY BULLETIN

better! How many chimneys?) and speculated about the stories behind certain unique boats tied up to piers.

One thing that always puzzled me was how many boats stayed in their slips, and how many waterfront homes had nobody outside on beautiful summer evenings. Some boaters, like my dad, proudly counted the number of times they got out on the water in a season. But owners of other vessels seemed too busy to enjoy the slice of heaven that is being out on Chesapeake waters. My parents spoke of such vessels as one would a neglected neighborhood pet. “In all the years we’ve lived here, I’ve only seen that boat out of its slip twice,” my dad would say, as my mom sadly shook her head.

We continued our creek crawls as I grew (eventually replacing the old Thunderbird), and now, puttering up creeks for a short cruise is just right for bringing my toddler and preschooler along. Yes, they’ve both fallen asleep to the rumble of the outboard, too.

As our family tradition remains, one thing about it has changed for the better. In the 2020 boating season, people aren’t leaving their

boats at the slip. They’re out enjoying the rivers and the Bay. They’re fishing and crabbing along the shore. They’re paddling up into the creeks.

Maybe it took a stay-at-home order to clear our busy calendars. Maybe it took a work-fromhome directive to free up our commute time.

Maybe it was the temporary ban on recreational boating that made us realize how precious this pastime is.

Whatever the particular reason, boating is flourishing on the Bay. You can see it in the volume of boats on the water, and you can hear about it from Bay-region dealers who are low on inventory—some who have sold out completely.

(See our story on page 4). It’s a great time to boat—all you’ve got to do is leave the slip.

And a happy Father’s Day to my dad, inventor of the creek crawl (at least in our family), and to all of the fathers of Chesapeake country.

BOAT SALES UP AS BAY LEANS INTO BOATING IN COVID-19 ERA

A

nyone living near the shores of the Chesapeake and its tributaries can’t help but notice: recreational boating is having a moment. Boaters in the mid-Bay recently told Bay Bulletin that local waters have been so busy, it looks like the Fourth of July.

With the coronavirus response limiting travel and activities, boat owners who don’t usually get out as much as they’d like to now have few other commitments standing in their way. Chris Guy, an avid boater in southern Anne Arundel County, speculates, “I think people working at home, and canceled activities have given people a lot more free time to be on the water.”

The National Marine Manufacturer’s Association (NMMA) says the forecast for boating this summer is looking bright, as it’s “an ideal outdoor activity to de-stress and unwind that has known mental health benefits, while naturally allowing you to abide by social distancing guidelines.”

As boat traffic on the Bay has increased, so has the number of people buying boats. Dealers in the Chesapeake region are reporting an uptick in business. Bluewater Yacht Sales,

gemeyer. “Many buyers think it is a buyer’s market because of COVID, but that is really not the case. Boats are selling, and getting close to asking prices in many cases.”

NMMA says national boat sales (both new and used) support the trend we’re seeing on the Bay. In May, 70 percent of marine dealers nationwide say their

“Many buyers think it is a buyer’s market because of COVID, but that is really not the case. Boats are selling, and getting close to asking prices in many cases.”

—CRUSADER YACHTS OWNER MIKE TITGEMEYER with three Maryland locations and two in Virginia, is reporting record sales.

Chesapeake Boat Basin, a Boston Whaler dealer in Kilmarnock on Virginia’s Northern Neck, tell us they’re completely sold out of all new models for the near future. And Crusader Yachts in Annapolis, which sells new and used boats, also say they’re especially busy.

“Current brokerage activity is very strong and one concern is inventory levels and getting new listings,” says Crusader Yachts Owner Mike Tit-

sales grew, for the strongest numbers since July 2018. Pre-owned boat brokers also reported 74 percent growth.

The biggest growth is coming from smaller, entry-level boats, which NMMA says indicates more people are picking up boating: “New data points to many first-time boat buyers investing in a boat to replace other summer traditions canceled due to the pandemic,” NMMA rep John-Michael Donahue tells Bay Bulletin.

Jet skis are primary purchases for

first-time buyers entering the marine market, and NMMA finds people bought 75 percent more personal watercraft this May than May 2019. Wakeboard boats and other small boats like cruisers have been popular this spring.

Another factor: smaller boats are also more affordable in this time of economic uncertainty. NMMA says 62 percent of boaters have an annual household income of $100,000 or less and 95 percent of boats are under 26 feet long—boats that can be trailered to local launch sites.

One factor yet to be determined: the impact of the fall boat show season on sales. “Boat show season is a bit of an unknown yet as to what the shows will look like. How many people will come out? How many people will the shows allow daily and what sort of safety precautions are in place…” Titgemeyer wonders.

He points out that many dealers rely on boat shows for 50-75 percent of their business for the year, and some are still trying to recover financially from all of the spring shows being canceled. For now, the Annapolis Boat Shows (U.S. Sail and Powerboat shows) are still set for October, with tickets limited to single-day only. ­—MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

CATCH, COUNT AND EAT SNAKEHEADS IN THE GREAT CHESAPEAKE INVASIVES COUNT

Left: Ugly invasive fish makes for good angling and eating in Dorchester County.

A

nglers from all parts of the Bay watershed, as far away as Baltimore and Pennsylvania, travel to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge for a special kind of challenge. They’re looking to catch snakeheads—those hideous-looking invasive fish that have spread through the Chesapeake watershed.

Conservationists are looking to find out how many snakeheads are being caught and where, so they’ve launched an effort calling on anglers to report these catches via smartphone app. Bay Bulletin went snakehead fishing to see how it works.

The snakehead is a fish that might make you go, Ewww. It has a protruding lower jaw and a mouth full of sharp teeth. But it’s a big draw for anglers.

On a Wednesday on Key Wallace Drive at the national wildlife refuge, plenty of snakehead fishermen were casting their lines.

What brought Tom Ho all the way to Dorchester County from Harrisburg, Penn.? “Just the snakehead adventure. Heard a lot of stories about it and just want to see what it’s like to catch one,” Ho tells Bay Bulletin.

Blackwater is now one of the hot spots in the Great Chesapeake Invasives Count, an initiative started by David Sikorski, executive director of the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) Maryland. It runs from June until December and uses the iAngler tournament app to track where anglers are finding invasive species.

The Great Chesapeake Invasives Count is asking anglers to report their catches of three species: northern

snakeheads, blue catfish and flathead catfish.

“We’re promoting a citizen science effort where folks that are just going fishing, have a smartphone, or even don’t have one, can go out and catch a fish and follow the directions,” Sikorski explains. “These fish are spreading. Snakeheads were first found in Maryland in a pond in Crofton. These Eastern shore snakeheads are from a different area genetically. We’re finding out they’re different. So to know where they are and maybe some frequency with which we’re interacting with them or the sizes can really help the biologists understand what’s happening in the watershed.”

Gary Smith and Caz Kenny, who run snakeheadlife.com, took us fishing and talked to us about the importance of targeting snakeheads.

“I’ll go down fighting every time to try to make a difference, even if it’s only one angler at a time,” Kenny says.

Kenny and Smith also host a weekly podcast to educate people about what’s

happening in the watershed.

“We got to stop the moving of these fish to other areas,” Kenny says. “The problem we’ve had in the past 10 years is guys come here from other areas in the state, they think it’s really neat to fill their cooler and dump them in their pond in their backyard. Then we have a rain and that pond runs over and it’s connected to a trout stream, let’s say. All them snakeheads get washed into a new body of water simply because people are moving these fish.”

Besides counting the snakeheads, conservationists also want anglers to take them home for dinner. Snakehead is a white, flaky fish that looks much more appetizing on a plate than when it’s first pulled out of the water.

Ray Gill, from Ferndale in northern Anne Arundel County, was out snakehead fishing in Blackwater a second time. Gill is a Baltimore County firefighter and says the last time he

BALTIMORE POLICE MARINE UNIT CUT FROM CITY BUDGET

A

s major cities face financial losses from the pandemic and increasing calls to “defund the police,” Baltimore City’s proposed budget would eliminate the police marine unit.

Baltimore City Council just voted for a budget that cuts $22.4 million dollars from Baltimore Police. Included in the funding cuts is $1.87 million dollars for the Marine Unit and Underwater Recovery Team—Baltimore’s police boat squad that patrols the harbor to the Key Bridge and parts of Anne Arundel and Baltimore counties.

The marine unit started in 1860, when police officers patrolled in rowboats. Bay Bulletin’s Cheryl Costello rode along with the marine unit team a year ago on a training day and learned about the wide range of tasks they cover.

Sharing news of the plan to defund it, the marine unit posted on Facebook a laundry list of its duties.

“In addition to the high visibility things we do like stopping speeding vessels and returning lost loved ones to grieving families we also investigate boat accidents, search for missing persons, recover evidence under the

Baltimore Police Marine Unit. Photo: U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 12-05 5SR/ Facebook water, enforce DNR laws, tow in distressed/disabled boaters, save vessels from dragging anchor and causing accidents, dewater sinking vessels (delaying sinking until private companies can take over). We conduct vessel pursuits, escort VIP vessels and protect high value assets. We also maintain security zones and set up anchorages for special events for people to enjoy

like 4th of July.”

Facebook followers expressed disappointment at the loss of the marine unit, one man posting, “This is such a mistake and very sad… BPD Marine Unit saved my boat from sinking and brought my wife and I to safety 3 years ago.”

Another, a resident of Anchorage Marina posts, “We appreciate the fact that

brought home snakehead, the fire station enjoyed it for dinner. “Back at the station, they filleted it. And then we had fish tacos and they were just tremendous, just delicious.”

Sikorski says every little bit helps.

“The more you eat, the better it is for the ecosystem.”

they are there to protect an otherwise open area subject to thieves, vandals and clandestine intruders. Many of us live on our boats full or part time…It is foolish to defund them.”

The marine unit often partners with the U.S. Coast Guard and Maryland Natural Resources Police, as well as the Baltimore City Fire Department Marine Fire Rescue.

Bay Bulletin asked Baltimore Police how the various roles of the marine unit would be filled if the program is defunded. Director of Public Affairs Lindsey Eldridge released this statement.

“The Baltimore Police Department is committed to ensuring that we work with the city council so they fully understand any and all ramification of proposed cuts to the department. We stand ready to de-authorize services so that we can stay under whatever budget allocation is ultimately approved…

Per the direction of the Mayor and City Council, we will look at all options of operations.”

Baltimore City Council’s budget also cuts the city’s six-horse mounted unit, which was founded in 1888 making it the oldest continuously-operated police mounted unit in the country.

BERNIE FOWLER “SNEAKER INDEX” STREAMS LIVE FOR FIRST TIME

H

undreds of Chesapeake Bay enthusiasts who’d never witnessed former Sen. Bernie Fowler’s traditional Patuxent River wade-in, got to see it unfold on Facebook Live this year.

The 96-year-old Fowler is a passionate champion of Bay environmental issues with no plans of slowing down in his fight for clean water.

The former Maryland Senator has been wading into the Patuxent in a pair of white sneakers since at least 1969, measuring to see how deep he can go before his sneakers disappear into murkiness. Back then, he could see clear to the bottom in 57 inches of water, a measurement he hasn’t seen since.

The unscientific water clarity test is held at Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum on the second Sunday of June, marking the end of Chesapeake Bay Awareness Week. Usually a large

group turns out to support Fowler and they all wade in together, arm in arm.

Because of social distancing concerns, this year the group of onlookers was small. Fowler spoke from a podium wearing his signature overalls and cowboy hat (with an American flag sticking out of the top like a plume).

He waded into the water hand-inhand with U.S. Rep. Steny Hoyer, who was wearing a t-shirt with a photo of Fowler on it that read “Fowler’s Followers.” The pair stepped deeper and deeper until the water was about at their waists. Then, they both stumbled backwards into the water. Rep. Hoyer says the muck made it hard to stay upright.

“We got stuck in the mud! We’re not sticks in the mud, but we got stuck in the mud,” Hoyer quipped.

Safely back on land, a tape measure stretched from the ground to Fowler’s waist read 43 inches–the final figure for the 2020 Sneaker Index. Hoyer says the number probably would have been higher except they lost sight of their feet because of the mud rather than the water.

The 43-inch result is a little lower than last year’s Sneaker Index of 47 inches, but still notably higher than 2018’s measly 36 inches of visibility.

Addressing the people watching via Facebook Live, Fowler recited lines

from Robert Frost’s famous poem “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening,” paraphrasing them for the goal of Bay restoration.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

Said Fowler, “Keep this in mind, for we’ve got miles to go before our Bay is going to be where it was.” He continued, “Please, take this wherever you go: We are not there yet. The Bay is not good yet. The Patuxent River is not good yet.

And we want to make sure we get it back to where it was in the 40s and 50s.”

Rep. Hoyer likened the decline of the Bay’s health to a virus, not unlike COVID-19. While people are able to protect from the coronavirus with social distancing, Hoyer said, “This river can’t distance itself from us.”

Fowler says unchecked population growth and development always gnaws at him, calling it “one of the frightening things for the demise of this river and the entire Chesapeake Bay, the greatest estuary in the world.”

He urges everyone to keep pushing for a restored Bay. “We have tried, but we haven’t tried hard enough. It’s not too late!”

$3M Improves Anne Arundel Shorelines Ecological engineering works to prevent erosion

T

wo new shoreline restoration projects funded by the Anne Arundel County Department of Public Works Watershed Protection and Restoration Program (WPRP) means protection for the Bay and another step toward reaching the county’s federal pollution reduction permits.

The award of $3.016 million to Hanover-based BayLand Consultants & Designer, Inc., and sub-contractor, Shoreline Design, LLC, of Edgewater will be used to restore 2,875 feet of shoreline.

The projects will create a living shoreline in the St. Margaret’s area of the Broadneck peninsula, on the north side of the mouth of the Severn River, and the other is an extension of a living shoreline at Jack Creek Park in Shady Side, where previous work stabilized about 2,400 feet of shoreline and added public access.

The Severn River project will replace an “almost completely disintegrated” bulkhead, says Erik Michelsen, WPRP administrator. The project will stabilize the shoreline with stone breakwaters and marsh plantings.

The work will support county permits that aim to reduce and eliminate

of Anne Arundel County. High quality creeks and streams, stable and ecologically diverse rivers, fully functional wetlands, and a healthy Chesapeake Bay are critical elements to a robust economy, resilient communities, and a vibrant quality of life,” said County Executive Steuart Pittman. “This partnership shows that we are making significant progress in both effectively and efficiently improving our waters.”

This is the fourth award in the county’s Water Quality improvements contract, launched in 2016. The program helps the county work with private sector partners to design, build and maintain environmental restoration projects that improve bay health. The public/private partnership serves as a model for creating innovative and cost-effective watershed restoration projects and has awarded $12 million to projects since its inception.

Anne Arundel County Public Library locations remain closed but began curbside service last week. AACPL plans to reopen most branches by July 6. For the status of those locations, go to www.aacpl.net.

The CBM Bay Weekly calendar is usually filled with events and classes happening at the four Calvert library branches. Calvert Library shifted to virtual offerings in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to provide services in that format.

“We are doing brand-new programming with a focus on topics our community needs,” says Robyn Truslow, public relations coordinator for Calvert Library. “Our focus is on early literacy programs for our youngest customers and education content that is of current particular benefit to our community.”

Some of the programming includes information for small businesses about how to reopen safely, legal information about housing, unemployment and child custody, antiracism resources and discussion, domestic violence and how to shop, eat and clean safely during COVID-19. The complete list of resources can be found at www.calvertlibrary.info.

“We offer community and entertainment opportunities to help our customers feel connected to one another and the world,” Truslow says. “We have book discussions, trivia and online summer performances.”

The libraries are gearing up to be ready when the all-clear is given to welcome back patrons. “We are moving computers to provide for social distancing, storing furniture to make more open space and adding Plexiglas to customer-staff interaction points,” Truslow says.

And if you’re still looking for that book you checked out in winter, don’t worry. Nothing is technically due until August 1. p June 18 - June 25, 2020 • BAY WEEKLY • 7

CHESAPEAKE STORY AND PHOTOS BY STEVE ADAMS

Fleet Reserve

N

EARLY THREE FULL MONTHS after they first closed their doors but just two weeks after most of them began offering some level of outdoor service, restaurants in Anne Arundel and Calvert County were permitted to reopen for indoor dining—at 50 percent capacity and with strict health and safety measures—under Stage Two of Governor Hogan’s Roadmap to Recovery on June 12.

As is the case with outdoor dining, restaurants must follow state guidelines including a minimum of six-foot distancing between tables, six-person table seating limits, paper or sanitized menus, disinfecting high-contact

surfaces after each use, and employee training and screening. All staff, including cooks, must wear face coverings at all times, and patrons must wear masks when walking to or from their table. In Calvert County, the

8 • BAY WEEKLY • June 18 - June 25, 2020

health department has added guidelines, requesting nine feet of space around tables and the use of disposable menus, condiments and flatware.

But after putting our sandals on the ground and visiting over a dozen restaurants in the region, the verdict from restaurant owners, employees, and patrons is clear: whether for indoor dining or outdoor dining, the precautions are well worth the price of admission.

What Owners Say

At Paul’s Homewood Café, manager Leah Marriott reports the restaurant began offering its Greek-American menu for takeout immediately after closing and created an outdoor parking space patio that seats 26 just a few weeks ago, but is very happy to be able to now serve a maximum of 35 guests inside. “We’re just happy to be able to bring back our staff, operate on a day to day basis, and keep adapting

to the ‘new normal,’” said Marriott.

The same goes for restaurants such as Chart House (Annapolis), Yellowfin Steak & Fish House (Edgewater), and Kingfishers Seafood Bar & Grill (Solomons), where water views of Spa Creek, the South River, and Back Creek are a major part of the dining experience.

“We are very excited to be able to accommodate guests in the dining room again,” said Yellowfin General Manager Matt Snowden. Along with following all health and safety guidelines, he notes that guests will be limited to 90 minutes and reservations will be required for the foreseeable future in order to serve people quickly.

At Kingfishers, nine-foot-distanced tables are on a first-come, first-serve basis, though the overall goal is safely seating as many guests as possible.

Maximizing capacity is certainly the name of the game at Boatyard

Bar and Grill, where owner Dick Franyo says reopening and bringing back all of his staff “wouldn’t be viable” without the ability to offer 50 percent seating inside and 50 percent seating outside, under the two massive tents that he installed after going through a detailed yet speedy approval process

with the City of Annapolis.

The same goes for Soul, where general manager Misti Dragano reports 50 percent occupancy inside and doubling the size of outdoor seating has proven a great success.

“We started Friday with opening up inside,” says Lindsey Chroniger, manager of Neptune’s in North Beach. “We have tables spaced nine feet apart, the bar stools are seated in groups also nine feet apart. We are taking more time for sanitation in-between guests.

Eastport’s Bread and Butter Kitchen, for example, only has room for four people inside, but Monica Alvarado praises the restaurant’s landlord, neighbors, and the Eastport Business Association for being flexible and helpful in converting three parking spots to seating.

“We’re extremely grateful that our carry-out business has been solid throughout the pandemic and the community has welcomed us so openly,” said co-owner Jayleen Fonseca. “We’ve actually had to limit the amount of carry-out orders per hour since outdoor dining began, and we even plan to expand the kitchen soon. Plus we still have plans for pig roasts, salsa lessons, and plenty of special events in the future.”

What Customers Say

From regulars to first-timers, patrons were clearly hungry, both literally

and figuratively, to visit restaurants throughout the area during a beautiful early summer weekend.

West Marine employee Paul Watts has been ordering carryout from next-door restaurant Grump’s since it closed, and now likes having the option of enjoying their “amazing sandwiches” inside or outside. Same for Nellie, a lifelong Paul’s Homewood Café patron who recently made the move from takeout to patio and looks forward to dining inside soon. Kristin Dyak has enjoyed the ability to socialize over dinner and drinks outside, plus support local businesses through carryout, but can’t wait to return to Sailor Oyster Bar.

important aspect of being able to dine out is the return of social interactions they’d sorely missed.

“I’m so excited indoor dining is reopening,” said Twain. “I’m glad restaurants that have been struggling to make it through closure have the opportunity to welcome guests back and hopefully stay afloat. As long as it’s done in a safe and responsible manner, I’m all for it. Plus, it means Chris (her fiancée) and I will be able to do our weekly

Expanded dining options brought more than just smiles to patrons. Tom Watts Jr. drove from Delaware to Annapolis as soon as he heard he had the opportunity to again have a few beers with his dad, Annapolitan Tom Sr., at Boatyard Bar and Grill. “I was elated to hear that Annapolis was reopening for indoor dining and drinking because Delaware isn’t,” said Watts Jr. “Dad loves his happy hours.”

Brittany Hunter and Hal Nichols,

Salty Paws whom I met while having brunch at Chick and Ruth’s Delly on Sunday morning, proudly reported that they’d come from Largo and made the restaurant their first dine-in choice.

Hunter chose it for its “amazing food and classic menu,” Nichols said it was his choice because of “customer service that’s definitely on-point.”

And then there was Magloire and Perrine, two D.C. diplomats from Paris whom I met just before launching my paddleboard off a dock next to the Chart House. After offering to take a picture of the fancily-clad couple, they informed me that they were there to

celebrate Perrine’s birthday and were extremely excited to have found the restaurant, one of the closest on-thewater options with indoor availability, on Google. Their excitement increased when they saw the view of downtown Annapolis and I told them that they’d be celebrating in a restaurant where boats were once built.

Dining out clearly means different things to everyone in Chesapeake country, but the ability to do it, whether inside or outside, whether at this or that restaurant, for the first time or the 50th time, is something Marylanders have missed. p

SPORTING LIFE

BY DENNIS DOYLE

A Full Day on the Bay I had just cast my rooster tail spinner bait close to a distant bulkhead, put my reel into gear and started the retrieve when the water boiled heavily behind it. We were after white perch but a pod of cownose rays had just moved through the area and I certainly didn’t want to tangle with them with my light, six-foot rod. I hastened the retrieve then paused for a moment to let the area settle down.

Throwing again to the bulkhead, I hadn’t made a half dozen turns on the reel handle when my rod tip slammed down and line began screaming off the reel against the drag. Heading out toward the middle of the river, the unseen critter was very shortly threatening my reel spool’s line reserve.

I jammed the motor into gear, backed my skiff out and chased after it. Reeling and elbow steering, I finally closed and got a comfortable amount of line back on the reel, then tried turning the unseen Leviathan. No luck with that at all, the bully just took more line.

Over the next ten minutes or so I could only angle against the unseen brute, keep the boat reasonably close and concentrate on wearing it down. I increased the drag to the max the sixpound mono would endure and kept the rod bent to the corks.

That eventually began to take effect,

going to lose. I had to find out what I had hooked.

My buddy, Ed Robinson, and I already had an interesting day. Initially, we were intending to chum for rockfish but a brief pause at some interesting electronic finder marks not far from where we launched and a couple of drifted chunks of soft crab limited us out on the stripers to 26 inches within minutes.

Fortunately, we had also brought ultralight spin outfits for white perch and had continued down the Bay for some rock jetties and a try at a perch dinner. With over a half dozen keepersized perch in the bucket over the next two hours, we then encountered the determined and quite entertaining catfish.

though on several occasions I was tempted to just break the devil off. I assumed from its strength and endurance that it was one of the rays that were in the area.

However, the memory of losing a giant striper because I had foolishly assumed it was a cownose was still a tender memory, so I patiently continued the battle, concentrating on lifting the mystery toward the surface to at least get a glimpse.

Eventually my patience was rewarded and I saw the flash of a long white belly and a substantial tail as the lunker rolled on the surface. It wasn’t a cownose ray but it also wasn’t a rockfish. I resumed the battle: one of us was

It measured out at 24 inches when it was finally landed, not nearly as large as I imagined. It had, however, given me the longest running fight I’d yet encountered on light panfish tackle from anything with whiskers. That fish went into the cooler along with the two rockfish. Catfish fry up almost as delicious as perch.

It took another half hour to secure two more keeper-sized white perch, enough for a perch fry for my wife and I, since Ed already had enough in his freezer. My share of the rockfish would go into a delicious ceviche recipe for the following days and the catfish fillets reserved for next week. A good day indeed. ‫ﵭ‬

FISHFINDER: The Bay is blooming with nice rockfish, not many of bragging size to be sure, but some comfortable numbers. The white perch are numerous, though generally eight inches and under. It takes quite a while to get many fish over nine, a direct result of uncontrolled commercial netting. It would be nice if DNR had at least a few programs aimed at improving the quality of the recreational experience. Spot are also numerous and often larger than the perch. Croaker are beginning to show but also are challenged lengthwise. Catfish are present but the blue variety, my favorite, have become curiously absent. It may take a while to figure out their patterns. Casting soft plastic assassin type jigs is becoming popular now and taking a fair share in the rockfish effort. Chumming is again the most effective method of getting keeper-sized stripers, Love Point, Podickery, Hacketts, Tolley Point, Thomas Point, Poplar Island and the Eastern Bay are all holding fish in the 19- to 24-inch range. Trollers are still doing well dragging smaller sized bucktails tipped with small Sassy Shads. The one-fish limit is having a noticeable effect on the number of anglers on the water, the days are not nearly as crowded as in past seasons. Hopefully this will result in the rapid rebuilding of our sportfish population.

Crabbing has achieved launch velocities and devotees are bragging of full baskets of jimmies at last. Try in six to ten-foot depths over mud bottoms. Throw back any clean, brightly colored males no matter the size. They’ve recently shed their shells and have virtually no meat. Give them a chance to fill in. Females remain illegal to harvest unless you’re a commercial. The seasons look good so far.

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTOS BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Birds on Mosquito Patrol I dislike mosquitoes but yet I go to places where they are common, swamps and marshes, and they seem to like me. I wear light-weight long pants and long sleeve shirts with picaridin repellent applied to the cloth but they seem to always find a spot to bite.

Long ago, mosquito control was for the birds. In the early 19th century, most towns

had purple martin houses prominently placed. Huge flocks of martins would arrive in time to patrol the cities, each bird reducing the mosquito population by its weight each day. The Purple Martin Conservation Association also reports that Native Americans, the Cherokee, Chickasaw and Choctaw tribes made martin houses to be placed around their villages.

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

BY MARIA PRICE

Purple martins are the largest of the swallow family. Known for their speed and aerial acrobats, they catch all their food inflight and drink water by skimming along the water’s surface.

From their wintering grounds in South America, they fly back to the same nesting area that they were successful at the year before. They prefer nesting in colonies, enjoying manmade houses but also using abandoned woodpecker nests. The older males arrive first to stake a claim and to make sure everything in the nest is in order. Females and young birds arrive about two weeks after the males. They mate for life and try to use the same nest year after year.

The purple martin is a very social bird and they will talk to each other frequently. Luckily, they are not too loud, just constant. A large colony of birds usually will hunt in the same area, drive off predators together and start their migrations together. In a colony, when a brood of birds fledges the youngsters usually will hang out together. It seems to keep the young safer and easy for the parents to feed. Protection in

Plants That Keep the Bugs Away W arm weather brings with it the insects that bite and itch. As our planet warms, disease-carrying insects have become more prevalent in places they used to not reside in. Lyme disease, Zika fever and West Nile virus are diseases we never worried about before. It is important to prevent insect bites to reduce the chance of contracting these diseases.

The Centers for Disease Control considers DEET appropriate for human use but some people prefer not to use the chemical because of stories of adverse reactions. You can make your own herbal spray to repel insects and just use DEET externally on shoes and clothing if desired.

If you grow lavender, thyme, yarrow and catnip in your garden, you will attract many pollinators and beneficial insects and have all the ingredients to make your own repellent spray.

Lavender blooms now through July and its wonderful fragrance appeals to people for its calming properties. Lavender repels black flies, deer flies, fleas, mosquitoes, moths and slugs. Its flowers support pollination by attracting bees. The bees are so happy in the lavender flowers that

numbers applies to the martins.

The idea that they can be used to control mosquitoes around cities has not been a viable solution since the 1850s due to the introduction of the European starling and English house sparrow. Both of these now common birds will aggressively take over martin nests and sometimes kill the adults and young. When a martin is evicted by one of these intruders, they do not usually return to those nests.

However, starlings and house sparrows are usually not common near a marsh. Martins are now more commonly seen along the shorelines of lakes, estuaries and saltwater beaches. If you live near an open shore or marsh, consider putting up a group of martin houses. The Purple Martin Conservation Association is a good resource for placement and design.

I find they’re never aggressive.

Catnip is a great mosquito repellent. A 2001 study from the American Chemical Society, found the essential oil within catnip to be 10 times more repellent than DEET against mosquitoes. Ticks and biting flies avoid it in the vegetable garden: catnip repels cabbage looper caterpillars, Colorado potato bugs, flea beetles, Japanese beetles and squash bugs.

Thyme, available in many varieties, is a powerful insect repellent. Thyme repels black flies, deer flies, fleas, mosquitoes and ticks.

Yarrow is a wonderful medicinal garden herb that beneficial insects love. It attracts bees, ground beetles, hoverflies, ladybugs, parasitic and predatory wasps and soldier bugs. It also repels fleas, mosquitoes and ticks.

Use 1 tablespoon of each herb, finely chopped, add 4 to 6 ounces of olive oil, and infuse for 1 to 3 weeks. Strain the oil by pressing well. Add 2 ounces of neem oil or cedar-infused oil and 4 ounces of witch hazel. Fill a spray bottle and shake well before use.

THE MOVIEGOER

BY DIANA BEECHENER

Father’s Day Films Why get Dad another tie when you can gift him with his very own movie marathon? n Sunday, we celebrate dads and all they do for us. If you’re having trouble finding a gift for Father’s Day, consider setting up a movie marathon.

You’ll just need a streaming service, a comfy chair or sofa, and, of course, some popcorn (throw some M&Ms in your popcorn if you’re feeling fancy).

We’ve picked five movies with five very different father-child relationships that should give you and Dad plenty to talk about.

son, Marlin begins an epic quest across the ocean to save the only family he has left.

A beautiful film about love, the way we treat disabilities, and how to grow with your child, Finding Nemo is a deceptively deep cartoon. There are plenty of jokes in it to keep little ones happy, but Pixar layers in some truly touching storytelling that will speak to older viewers. If you’ve ever had an overbearing father who meant well, this little fish tale will certainly speak to you.

NETFLIX: Da 5 Bloods Paul (Delroy Lindo), Otis (Clarke Peters), Eddie (Norm Lewis), and Melvin (Isiah Whitlock, Jr.) are Vietnam veterans reuniting in Saigon to retrieve their squad leader Norm (Chadwick Boseman), who was killed in action and never brought home to his family. But there’s another purpose to this trip—during the mission that killed Norm, the men discovered millions of dollars of gold bars and hid it in the jungle.

A sprawling epic that deals with the history of the U.S. using black men to fight wars without affording them the rights they deserve, director Spike Lee dissects how soldiers returning home were traumatized but never given proper help and the ripple effect on their lives. He also points out how this is compounded with the stress of facing systemic racism in the country they fought for. It’s a pretty incredible reimagining of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

The film features wonderful performances from the leads, with Lindo standing out as the terribly damaged Paul. His time in Vietnam has warped his emotions and made him incapable of properly connecting with his son.

He blusters through life, trying to project impossible strength to hide his fear. It’s an astonishing performance and one that should be considered during awards season. If you’ve ever had a fraught relationship with your father, or just have a dad who really loves war films, this is a fantastic option for a movie night.

DISNEY+: Finding Nemo Somewhere, beyond the sea, Marlin (Albert Brooks) has built a safe little home for his son Nemo (Alexander Gould). After his wife and the rest of his children are killed by a barracuda, Marlin dedicates his life to overprotecting his son. But Marlin’s well-intentioned attempts to keep Nemo sheltered make his son want to break free.

In a fit of pique, Nemo blatantly disobeys his father and swims away from the reef to the open ocean. Unfortunately, Nemo’s plan to show his father he’s a grown fish backfires when he’s abducted by a scuba diver and taken to Sydney, Australia. Terrified for his

Tatsuya Mihashi, Toshirô Mifune, Yutaka Sada, and Tatsuya Nakadai in Tengoku to Jigoku (High and Low) KANOPY: High and Low When businessman Kingo Gondo’s (Toshirô Mifune) son is kidnapped, he’s told he’ll have to bankrupt himself to get the boy back. Gondo is willing to ruin his life for the chance to get his son back, but when his son wanders into the room, he’s confused. It turns out the kidnappers grabbed the wrong boy, taking the chauffeur’s son.

The kidnapper doesn’t care whose son he has—either Gondo hands over the money or the boy will die. Is Gondo willing to ruin his life to save a life? And can he live with himself if he doesn’t?

One of the best collaborations between legendary director Akira Kurosawa and Mifune, High and Low is a tense thriller about the price of doing the right thing. Though the duo is better known for their samurai films, this quiet thriller is a master class in acting and cinematic tension building. Mifune manages to make every phone call a nail-biter. This is a great movie for dads who love a good crime drama.

Isiah Whitlock Jr., Norm Lewis, Clarke Peters, Delroy Lindo, and Jonathan Majors in Da 5 Bloods This is a movie littered with fatherson relationships, both good and bad.

Adonis is dealing with challenges with his daughter, with defending the legacy of a father he never knew, and with trusting Rocky to be the father figure he needs. The Dragos have their own version of daddy issues, with Viktor working to make up for the mistakes of his father. It’s a film that looks fairly frankly at how hard it is to be the man in your family, and what that means. If your dad loves boxing movies, or just a good male-bonding film, go a few rounds with Creed II. Good Action * PG-13 * 130 mins.

PRIME: The Other F Word Punk rockers Flea, Tim McIlrath,

Mark Hoppus, Art Alexakis, and Rob Chaos spent a lifetime telling fans to dismiss authority and rebel. But what happens when they have to enforce bedtime with their kids or sit them in a timeout? This sweet documentary profiles how rockers approach fatherhood—from building stronger relationships than the ones they had with their dads to keeping their cool image while changing diapers. It’s a great look at how modern fathers choose to approach family and embrace their children. If your dad is a fan of 90s music, or just a little cooler than most, he’ll probably appreciate this look at how men rock fatherhood.

HULU: Creed II Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) is living the dream. He’s the heavyweight champion of the world, he’s got a beautiful new daughter, and he’s finally living up to the legacy of his father, former heavyweight champion Apollo Creed. When boxer Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), the man who killed Apollo in the ring, emerges from obscurity to present his son Viktor (Florian Munteanu) as a contender for Adonis’ title, Creed is compelled to defend his father’s legacy. The press eats the challenge up, but Adonis’ former trainer (and the only man who defeated Ivan in the ring) Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) doesn’t want history to repeat itself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): My Aries friend Lavinia told me, “The fight I’m enjoying most lately is my fight to resist the compulsion to fight.” I invite you to consider adopting that attitude for the foreseeable future. Now and then, you Rams do seem to thrive on conflict, or at least use it to achieve worthy deeds—but the coming weeks will not be one of those times. I think you’re due for a phase of sweet harmony. The more you cultivate unity and peace and consensus, the healthier you’ll be. Do you dare act like a truce-maker, an agreement-broker, and a connoisseur of rapport?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The answers you get depend upon the questions you ask,” wrote physicist and philosopher Thomas Kuhn.

That’s always true, of course, but it’s especially true for you right now. I recommend that you devote substantial amounts of your earthy intelligence to the task of formulating the three most important questions for you to hold at the forefront of your awareness during the rest of 2020. If you do, I suspect you will ultimately receive answers that are useful, interesting, and transformative.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “A finished person is a boring person,” writes author Anna Quindlan. I agree! Luckily, you are quite unfinished, and thus not at all boring—especially these days. More than ever before, you seem willing to treat yourself as an art project that’s worthy of your creative ingenuity—as a work-in-progress that’s open to new influences and fresh teachings. That’s why I say your unfinishedness is a sign of good health and vitality.

It’s delightful and inspiring. You’re willing to acknowledge that you’ve got a lot to learn and more to grow. In fact, you celebrate that fact; you exult in it; you regard it as a key part of your ever-evolving identity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “To hell with pleasure that’s haunted by fear,” wrote Cancerian author Jean de La Fontaine. I’ll make that one of my prayers for you in the coming weeks. It’s a realistic goal you can achieve and install as a permanent improvement in your life. While you’re at it, work on the following prayers, as well: 1. To hell with bliss that’s haunted by guilt. 2. To hell with joy that’s haunted by worry. 3. To hell with breakthroughs that are haunted by debts to the past. 4. To hell with uplifts that are haunted by other people’s pessimism.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Experiment #1: As you take a walk in nature, sing your five favorite songs from beginning to end, allowing yourself to fully feel all the emotions those tunes arouse in you. Experiment #2: Before you go to sleep on each of the next eleven

nights, ask your dreams to bring you stories like those told by the legendary Scheherazade, whose tales were so beautiful and engaging that they healed and improved the lives of all those who heard them. Experiment #3: Gaze into the mirror and make three promises about the gratifying future you will create for yourself during the next 12 months.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Vincent van Gogh’s painting The Starry Night is one of the world’s most treasured paintings. It has had a prominent place in New York’s Museum of Modern Art since 1941. If it ever came up for sale it would probably fetch over $100 million. But soon after he created this great masterpiece, van Gogh himself called it a “failure.” He felt the stars he’d made were too big and abstract. I wonder if you’re engaging in a comparable underestimation of your own. Are there elements of your life that are actually pretty good, but you’re not giving them the credit and appreciation they deserve? Now’s a good time to reconsider and re-evaluate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Now is a favorable time to make adjustments in how you allocate your attention—to re-evaluate what you choose to focus on. Why? Because some people, issues, situations, and experiences may not be worthy of your intense care and involvement, and you will benefit substantially from redirecting your fine intelligence in more rewarding directions. To empower your efforts, study these inspirational quotes: “Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.”

—philosopher Simone Weil. “Attention is the natural prayer of the soul.”—philosopher Nicolas Malebranche.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio poet Marianne Moore’s poem “O To Be a Dragon,” begins with the fantasy, “If I, like Solomon, could have my wish . . .” What comes next?

Does Moore declare her desire to be the best poet ever? To be friends with smart, interesting, creative people? To be admired and gossiped about for wearing a tricorn hat and black cape as she walked around Greenwich Village near her home? Nope. None of the above. Her wish: “O to be a dragon, a symbol of the power of Heaven—of silk-worm size or immense; at times invisible. Felicitous phenomenon!” In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to be inspired

by Moore in the coming weeks. Make extravagant wishes for lavish and amusing powers, blessings, and fantastic possibilities.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Poems, like dreams, are a sort of royal road to the unconscious,” writes author Erica Jong. “They tell you what your secret self cannot express.” I

invite you to expand that formula so it’s exactly suitable for you in the coming weeks. My sense is that you are being called to travel the royal road to your unconscious mind so as to discover what your secret self has been unable or unwilling to express. Poems and dreams might do the trick for you, but so might other activities. For example: sexual encounters between you and a person you respect and love; or an intense night of listening to music that cracks open the portal to the royal road. Any others?

What will work best for you?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “We must combine the toughness of the serpent and the softness of the dove, a tough mind and a tender heart.”

Capricorn hero Martin Luther King, Jr. said that, and now I’m conveying it to you. In my astrological opinion, his formula is a strategy that will lead you to success in the coming weeks. It’ll empower you to remain fully open and receptive to the fresh opportunities flowing your way, while at the same time you’ll remain properly skeptical about certain flimflams and delusions that may superficially resemble those fresh opportunities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “If it makes you nervous—you’re doing it right,” says the daring musician and actor Donald Glover. Personally, I don’t think that’s true in all situations.

I’ve found that on some occasions, my nervousness stems from not being fully authentic or being less than completely honest. But I do think Glover’s formula fully applies to your efforts in the coming weeks, Aquarius. I hope you will try new things that will be important to your future, and/or work to master crucial skills you have not yet mastered. And if you’re nervous as you carry out those heroic feats, I believe it means you’re doing them right.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean author Patricia Hampl understands a lot about the epic tasks of trying to know oneself and be oneself. She has written two memoirs, and some of her other writing draws from her personal experiences, as well. And yet she confesses, “Maybe being oneself is always an acquired taste.” She suggests that it’s often easier to be someone you’re not; to adopt the ways of other people as your own; to imitate what you admire rather than doing the hard work of finding out the truth about yourself. That’s the bad news, Pisces. The good news is that this year has been and will continue to be a very favorable time to ripen into the acquired taste of being yourself. Take advantage of this ripening opportunity in the coming weeks!

The 95-year-old Giant Dipper wooden roller coaster at Belmont Park in Mission Beach, California, is a National Historic Landmark, but it, along with all of the other rides in the park, has been closed to riders since March. To keep it in good repair and ready for reopening, the coaster must run 12 times every day, and park mechanics discussing how reopening would happen hit upon an idea: They loaded the coaster’s 24 seats with giant plush animals from the park’s midway games prize stash. “People are loving it,” Steve Thomas, the park’s general manager, told The San Diego UnionTribune. “We’ve seen tons of videos and pictures that people have been posting online.”

Thomas said when the coaster reopens, he may keep the furry riders on board to help with social distancing rules.

being held on charges of smuggling and possession of a controlled substance.

Fail Several sailors of the Royal Navy found themselves in over their heads on May 30 as their plan for a barbecue and beers got out of hand. A witness told The Sun, “They were smashed and hadn’t bothered to watch for the tide.” The Daily Star reported that one partier became cut off from the group, and when another went out to rescue him, they both struggled. Emergency services had to be called in, and one of the sailors had to be lifted off a cliff with a winch, the coast guard confirmed. The Royal Navy expressed its regret that emergency services were needed, but they “remain grateful for their help.”

Questionable Judgment

An unnamed 29-year-old man in Berlin, Germany, triggered alarms at a supermarket on June 5 when he tried to leave without paying for $5.65 in merchandise. The Associated Press reported that police had little trouble apprehending the man because, in his hurry to escape, he left his 8-year-old son behind.

Not only did the burglar’s “accessory” help police identify him, but the thief fell down as he was escaping and ended up in the hospital.

Shaun Michaelsen, 41, told police in Jupiter, Florida, he was only trying to be a “cool father” when he let a friend’s 12-yearold daughter drive his Jeep on June 8. Officer Craig Yochum saw the Jeep make an illegal U-turn and speed away, the Associated Press reported, so he followed as the vehicle hit speeds of 85 mph in a 45 mph zone. The underage driver told Yochum that Michaelson, who admitted he had been drinking, told her to drive fast. He was arrested and is being held in the Palm Beach County Jail.

Can’t Possibly Be True

Overreaction

The Daily Star reports that a 30-year-old man turned up at Zhaoqing First People’s Hospital in Guangdong, China, on June 3 suffering from abdominal pain. Doctors performed a series of scans before discovering a freshwater fish in the man’s large intestine, the presence of which he explained by saying he had accidently sat on it. “Do you think I’m an idiot?” one of the doctors replied. The spiny fins of the Mozambique tilapia had caused ruptures in the man’s intestine and had to be removed through his abdomen by surgery, but the man survived the ordeal and recovered.

Richland County (South Carolina) sheriff’s officers are searching for a man and woman who held a Pizza Hut manager at gunpoint on May 29 in Columbia—because they didn’t receive the 2-liter bottle of Pepsi they had ordered for delivery with their pie.

The manager told WIS the couple entered the restaurant complaining about the delivery, then came behind the counter and as the man held out a gun, the woman removed a bottle of Pepsi from the cooler.

Once the goods were in hand, the man put his gun away, and they left the store.

The Entrepreneurial Spirit

Bright Idea

Canadian Glen Richard Mousseau’s adventure with Michigan law enforcement began on May 10, when he was arrested in St. Clair County driving a U-Haul truck and in possession of $97,000. He cooperated with authorities, admitting he was the owner of a submarine seized by the Border Patrol April 23 and he had been using it to ferry drugs between Michigan and Ontario, Canada. Mlive.com reported Mousseau agreed to await the investigation’s outcome in a local hotel, but on May 22, federal agents said he had absconded, leaving behind five phones, a laptop and a diving suit. On June 5, Border Patrol officers observed packages thrown into the Detroit River from a vessel entering U.S. waters and found Mousseau unconscious in the water with 265 pounds of marijuana tethered to him with a tow strap. He’s

A tech startup called ChampTrax has a novel solution for the problem of professional sports being played in empty stadiums. Jason Rubenstein told Fox4 News in Kansas City, Missouri, that his company’s Hear Me Cheer technology allows fans watching at home to enable a microphone on a phone or laptop as they watch a game; the sounds fans make will then be captured and aggregated into a single track for the broadcast. “If you’re alone in your home, what’s the point of booing if no one can hear you?” Rubenstein asked. ESPN featured Hear Me Cheer on a June 9 boxing broadcast and during the NFL draft in April, and the company says it is in talks with other networks and sports leagues.

Least Competent Criminal

Oops Seniors at Ashley Ridge High School in

Dorchester County, South Carolina, were excited about attending their in-person graduation ceremony on June 10. Administrators planned limited proceedings on the field at Swamp Fox Stadium, where students and spectators could spread out in keeping with COVID-19 restrictions.

But as Principal Karen Radcliffe began to introduce the valedictorian and salutatorian, the field’s sprinklers switched on, spraying the field and sending people scrambling. “Everyone started running to the sides to try and avoid getting soaked before getting their diploma!” senior Megan Mowrer told WCBD.

Everyone’s a Critic Saxophonist Christian Beck, 50, has been treating his neighbors to two hours of music from his front porch in Sible Hedingham, England, every Saturday during the local coronavirus lockdown. Passersby would stop and listen, residents of Forest Home care facility nearby were particular fans, and money has been raised for charity through donations people have left. But Beck told the Daily Gazette his Saturday concerts will come to an end on June 13 after a letter from the Braintree Council informed him that an official noise complaint has been lodged against him. “Playing the saxophone is like a therapy for me ... and it’s upsetting to think that someone complained,” Beck told the Daily Gazette. “I didn’t want to go against anyone so I’m calling it a day.”

Police Report • Angel Castro, 39, was arrested in Schenectady, New York, on June 9 after police found him and a missing golf course beverage cart at the Kelsey Commons apartment complex. Police spokesman Sgt. Nick Mannix told The Daily Gazette a worker at the Stadium Golf Club had driven the beverage cart up to the clubhouse to restock it with drinks when the suspect jumped inside and took off. Castro was charged with felony grand larceny.

• Mark Alan Johnson, 67, of Rice Lake, Wisconsin, was sentenced June 3 to five years in state prison following his 15th arrest for drunk driving. Most recently he was arrested in November after steering his pickup into a ditch near his home. At the time, his license had been revoked, and his blood alcohol content was measured at almost twice the legal limit, even though Johnson told police he’d had only two glasses of wine and a can of beer, The Smoking Gun reported. Johnson’s attorney, Renee Taber, noted that Johnson is a “likable, down-to-earth, blue-collar man,” but his “downfall is that he is an alcoholic.” After four years of confinement, he’ll be eligible for the state’s substance abuse program. ‫ﵭ‬
