The Unglamorous Work of Making a Difference
A
nnapolis Harbour Center, the busy shopping center off Solomons Island Road, is home to two dozen shops and services, a movie theater, and a popular Amish market. It’s also home to at least 75 wild turtles of five different species. Didn’t know that? Most shoppers and moviegoers were unaware what lived in the drainage pond that sits at the corner of the shopping center—me included—until three years ago. That’s when a Bay Bulletin story landed on my desk: the owners of the shopping center were planning a major construction project to improve the pond and prevent runoff pollution. But when the pond was drained and heavy machinery came in, what would happen to the turtles living there? That’s where Jeff Popp of the Terrapin Institute came in. For more than two months, he led a volunteer effort (with support from property owners) to trap the turtles, one by one, and move them individually to a temporary home at a nearby pond. The turtles were tagged before being released back to their original home once construction was complete. In all, Popp’s painstaking work saved 75 turtles. Today, shoppers

who look carefully can see the tagged turtles sunning themselves on a log. Many great achievements start with an individual on a mission. But accomplishing something you believe in isn’t always glamorous. Sometimes it’s long, arduous and repetitive, like driving to a shopping center to check turtle traps twice a day through the hot weeks of summer. In this issue of Bay Weekly, we look to more individuals in the community who have taken on the unglamorous—but noble—work of making a difference. Longtime friend to Annapolis Carlester Smith, known as “the Walking Man” and other affectionate nicknames, has been picking up trash along West Street for decades. It wasn’t done as a grand gesture, but his mission to keep the streets clean made such an impact that local support for Smith is coming through in spades now that he is ill and no longer able to carry out his work. (Read more on page 7 about how folks are showing Smith their thanks.) As Smith’s mission comes to a close, another man’s mission is poised to get underway on the Chesapeake Bay.

Your Say SCAN receives grants from Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County In April and June of this year, the South County Assistance Network (SCAN) received two grant awards totaling $5,000 from the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County (CFAAC) - Crisis Response Fund. The funds have been provided to support SCAN during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis and will be used to purchase additional food for our growing client base. SCAN was established and incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in 1997 for the purpose of providing supplemental food items for those in need in South County. Each month SCAN pantry serves approximately 150 families, comprised of about 500 individuals. Since the COVID-19 crisis, an additional 65 families of 235 individuals have come to SCAN for food. The SCAN pantry is open Thursdays and Saturdays, 9am to12pm, excluding holidays. Families residing within our service area receive bags of nonperishable food containing meat (canned tuna or chicken), vegetables, fruit, pasta, soup, cereal and shelf-stable milk. Extra items, such as eggs, cheese, butter and frozen meat, are also distributed when

three from Arnold, has decided to paddle the entire length of the Bay on a standup paddleboard—from Havre de Grace to Virginia Beach. He’s making the 240-mile water trek to raise awareness for oyster recovery. Hopkinson believes people don’t realize how much of a difference oysters can make in cleaning up the Bay, and his long, laborious paddle is just crazy enough to draw public attention (and win over a big beer sponsor!). It certainly got our attention: our parent company, Chesapeake Bay Media, is the exclusive media sponsor of the paddle. (Read more about Hopkinson’s ambitious plan on page 6). Paddling the entire Bay, faithfully cleaning up Annapolis streets, and saving dozens of turtles from construction vehicles. Three different, bold missions from three individuals.

BOAT RESCUES SPIKE OVER FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND
A
s boating picks up in popularity amid pandemic-related closures (as Bay Bulletin recently reported), boating-related emergencies are also picking up.
The U.S. Coast Guard Mid-Atlantic says its command centers saw a spike in distress calls and rescues this Father’s Day weekend in the Chesapeake Bay region. Coast Guard crewmembers assisted in three medical evacuations, responded to six disabled vessels, five vessels taking on water, two vessels aground, one vessel on fire, and seven boats needing a tow from New Jersey to North Carolina. Even more boaters are taking to the water this summer because of other activities and travel being limited by COVID-19 restrictions, according to the National Marine Manufacturer’s Association. The Coast Guard points out, our waterways are likely to get even busier as the season goes on. “With summer right around the corner, we will continue to see more folks out on the water,” says Petty Officer 1st Class Alexander Castonguay, a command duty officer at Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay. The Coast Guard reminds people that a little planning can keep a day on the boat from being ruined. “Some of the cases that took place over the weekend were preventable if people took the right precautions such as having proper communications and safety equipment, filing float plans and following navigational markers. We
want people to enjoy their time on the water, but safety is, and will always be, our first priority.” The Coast Guard shares these tips with boaters: • You can get a free vessel safety check with your local Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla or U.S. Power Squadron • Review a pre-departure checklist to ensure you have everything you need in your boat, including a tool kit and first-aid kit • Always file a float plan or provide an itinerary with someone you trust • Ensure everyone on your vessel has a properly fitting lifejacket • Be familiar with state boating laws • Know the “Rules of the Road” on the waterways • Don’t drink and drive a boat; alcohol affects judgment, vision, balance and coordination • Respect your limits and keep within your limits to avoid injury – river currents can be very unpredictable.

BLACK BEAR KILLED AT HAVRE DE GRACE WATERFRONT
T
he killing of a black bear by police this weekend is causing controversy in the waterfront town of Havre de Grace. Havre de Grace Police say they responded to reports of a bear on residential property in the Harford County, Maryland town at the mouth of the Susquehanna River. Officers “launched a search for the bear and alerted citi-
zens in the area that a bear was sighted and to take appropriate actions.” Police eventually found the bear in the area of the Promenade, along the Havre de Grace waterfront, and according to police “had to euthanize the bear due to the high potential for a physical encounter with humans.” Some wildlife advocates, like the Harford County-based Susquehannock Wildlife Society (who were not involved the night of the sighting), expressed
disappointment at the officers’ decision to kill the bear. Susquehannock points out that while black bears are often seen as human-killers, attacks are actually incredibly rare. Over the last 100 years, there have been about 100 deaths among hundreds of thousands of black bears living in North America. Hundreds of neighbors and Facebook followers argued about whether the bear should have been killed for the safety of the town, relocated by natural resources officers instead, or left to its own devices. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR), which has a hotline set up for “bear-related emergencies”, says it was advised of a bear sighting that night in Havre de Grace, but according to DNR spokesman Gregg Bortz, “our staff was not aware of circumstances that would have led to the bear being a threat.” Bortz tells Bay Bulletin, “The department’s standard response in a situation like this would be to allow the bear to leave the area on its own if possible. Natural Resources Police will respond if a bear is endangering the public. Our Wildlife Response Team often requires an hour or more to mobilize and respond to a location.” In this case, DNR and Havre de Grace police didn’t seem to share the same opinion on whether the bear was endangering the public or not. “We understand this was a very unfortunate event, but officers made this decision based on the overwhelming concern for public safety,” Havre de
Grace Police said in a statement. Police say their investigation is still ongoing. DNR notes that juvenile bears are seeking territories of their own this time of year, so sightings in areas like this are common. They’ve been documented in central Maryland for at least the past decade, and this spring have been recorded in Montgomery, Howard, and Baltimore counties, and most commonly in Western Maryland where the bear population is concentrated. If you encounter a bear in a residential area, Bortz says, it’s best to allow the bear an escape route rather than cornering or surrounding it, encourage it to move on by making loud noises, and “remove from backyards any attractants such as bird food and trash that may cause the bear to hang around for a while.” You can call Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police (NRP) if you encounter a bear you’re concerned about: 800-628-9944 or 410-260-8888. The Susquehannock Wildlife Society says the outcome of this incident has inspired them to launch a forum with its partners to educate the region on how to respond to bear encounters like this one. In a Facebook post, they write, “We understand that here we all are not used to dealing with bears in the way that our western counties and neighboring states have learned to over the years since populations have become established. This is the time to learn before more bears arrive in our landscape.” -MEG WALBURN VIVIANO
Algae blooms fuel areas of little to no oxygen known as “dead zones” in the Chesapeake Bay. Photo: Chesapeake Bay Program
SLIGHTLY-REDUCED DEAD ZONE PREDICTED IN BAY
T
he Bay’s “dead zone,” an area with little or no oxygen, is expected to be slightly smaller this summer thanks to spring rains bringing less pollution into the water. But a leading environmental group is quick to add this news is “nothing to cheer.” Areas of low oxygen (hypoxic) or no oxygen (anoxic) are caused by excess nutrient pollution flowing into the Bay. The pollutants trigger algae blooms that pull oxygen out of the water. Plant
and animal life are often unable to survive in this environment, thus referred to as a “dead zone.” Every year, researchers from the Chesapeake Bay Program, the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, University of Michigan and U.S. Geological Survey predict the hypoxic volume by looking at the amount of nutrients—especially nitrogren—that enter the Bay from January to May. 2020’s hypoxic zone is expected to be See DEAD ZONE on next page
June 25 - July 2, 2020 • BAY WEEKLY • 5
BAY BULLETIN DEAD ZONE from page 5
nine percent lower than the 34-year average and the anoxic volume is predicted to be four percent lower than average. The Chesapeake Bay Program says due to slightly less rainfall this year, nitrogen flow was 17 percent lower than average. On the other hand, 2019 saw exceptionally high freshwater flows that washed more nitrogen and other nutrients into the Bay. The dead zone was larger than the one predicted for this year. “Dissolved oxygen levels are a key indicator of Bay health as sufficient oxygen is needed to support our iconic Chesapeake species such as oysters, crabs and fin fish. The forecast brings attention to our continued need to implement our nutrient reduction strategies,” says Bruce Michael, Director of Resource Assessment Service, Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) swiftly reminds us that any dead zone, even a slightly smaller one, is bad news for the Bay. Nitrogen loads, while lower than last year, still included 111 million pounds from the Appomattox, Choptank, James, Mattaponi, Pamunkey, Patuxent, Potomac, Rappahannock and Susquehanna rivers and another 7.3 million pounds from treated wastewater. “A prediction for a dead zone that is ‘slightly smaller than average’ is nothing to cheer. If accurate, we will continue to see harmful algal blooms and underwater dead zones where crabs, fish, oysters, and other marine life can’t survive…The good news is that dead zones are shrinking over time, but more must be done to accelerate progress,” Lisa Feldt, CBF Vice President for Environmental Protection and Restoration says in a statement. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources and Virginia Department of Environmental Quality will track the dead zone during eight to 10 monitoring cruises through the summer. You can check results from these cruises through the Eyes on the Bay website for the Maryland portion of the Bay and the VECOS website for the Virginia portion. -MEG WALBURN VIVIANO
PADDLING THE BAY—ALL 240 MILES OF IT CBM partners with Anne Arundel County man attempting to paddle entire Chesapeake Bay to support oyster recovery BY CHERYL COSTELLO
I
t’s a long drive from the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay to Virginia Beach. It’s a multi-day cruise to do it by boat. But one man is about to do it on a stand-up paddleboard. What’s driving Chris Hopkinson’s plan to trek 240 miles down the Chesapeake? Clean water and oysters. Flying Dog Brewery believes in the cause and the effort so much they’ve signed on as sponsor. And we’re on board, too: Chesapeake Bay Media is the exclusive media sponsor for Hopkinson’s ambitious paddle. Bay Bulletin was there for the official announcement this week. Chris Hopkinson has no sail or motor, just the waves, a paddle, and the endurance of a dad who wants to use what he learned from his daughter about oysters. “I had no idea what an oyster did in terms of its ability to filter 50 gallons of water per day,” the Arnold resident admits. He made the discovery by helping his daughter with a science project. Talk about going beyond the classroom— Hopkinson came up with a wild idea to get us all interested in oyster recovery.
“I bet if I paddle the [length of] the Bay, the community would get behind it. They would be like, ‘This guy is crazy but we got him, we got his back.’ And then more importantly, getting the story out there. I don’t think most people are aware of what an oyster does.” Hopkinson plans to go from Havre de Grace to Virginia Beach on his paddleboard to support the Oyster Recovery Partnership (ORP). A $10 donation puts 1,000 spat, or baby oysters, in the Bay. Hopkinson hopes to raise $200,000. He hopes to have a lot of company along the way, and invites other paddlers to join him, even just for a few miles. That’s why he is getting his message out months before his planned start date on September 18. Flying Dog Brewery is the title sponsor. “It’s just crazy enough to be something Flying Dog would be interested in,” quips the brewery’s Chief Marketing Officer Ben Savage. It makes sense since beer and oysters go together and Flying Dog has a 10-year partnership with ORP to raise money and awareness. The executive director of ORP shared photos of the restored Harris Creek on the Choptank River with Bay Bulletin. “We have restored 350 acres of oysters within that tributary alone and that has improved the water quality within that system,” says Ward Slacum, Executive Director of ORP. “We know for a fact those oysters are
removing nitrogen and phosphorous just by being down there and they are providing additional habitat for resources such as blue crab and striped bass.” We have witnessed the important work of oysters, so Bay Weekly’s parent company, Chesapeake Bay Media, is the exclusive media sponsor of the Bay Paddle. Count on us to follow along on Hopkinson’s journey. Chris Norman, co-owner of Capital SUP in Annapolis, is a mentor and coach for Hopkinson. “It’s just a great way to get people on the water. Once people are on the water, then they start to care more about the water. So, here’s your transition paradigm shift of getting people on the water and thinking about the quality, and what they can do to help,” Norman says. Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley is even brainstorming a paddleboard event at City Dock to support Hokinson’s effort. “The more of us that get in the water, the more we’ll care about it. These are some guys getting in the water and doing a lot of paddling. And hopefully we get a lot of people to join in with them,” Mayor Buckley tells us. Hopkinson has a summer of intense training ahead to prepare for an estimated nine days of paddling. As far as he knows, it will be a first for someone to travel the length of the Bay on a paddleboard. Follow the journey at: www.baypaddle.org.

T
he man regarded an Annapolis treasure may not be well enough to walk around town any longer, but fundraising efforts are helping care for him and to make sure he’ll always be known along West Street. Carlester Smith—a mainstay on the streets of Annapolis for decades—picked up trash and greeted everyone with an infectious smile. I myself can remember first seeing him more than 30 years ago as a little girl. He was picking up litter outside of a business on West Street when we stopped for
Smith was seen daily walking along West Street, picking up litter to keep Annapolis beautiful. Photo: Rosie Godard Grant hot chocolate. My best friend’s mother greeted him and then explained to me that he was considered an ambassador in town and kept West Street beautiful. After that, I always looked for him whenever I found myself on West Street, hoping to encounter his smile and enthusiasm. Known affectionately as The Walking Man or The West Street Walker, Smith is suffering from health issues and is no longer able to get out and about. The community has rallied around him, rais-
ing money for his family and donating needed items. “Annapolis loves Carlester,” says Carol Lagundo, an Edgewater native who organized an Amazon wishlist for Smith. “For decades people have seen and admired him. When people learned he was in need of help, they didn’t give it a second thought; they wanted to help.” Medical supplies, pajamas, slippers, gift cards and more were quickly purchased and delivered to Smith’s family. “We also added some of Carlester’s
favorite snacks to the wish list: Cheetos, Oreos and Ginger Snap cookies,” Lagundo says. “The response has been nothing short of amazing.” Now, there’s an effort underway to immortalize Smith with a mural in town. “Any true Annapolitan who’s been around for a while would vouch for Carlester being a staple for this city,” says Comacell Brown, the artist who will create the mural. “Since he’s recently been confined to his home due to old age and health conditions, we’ve all just missed seeing him around.” The effort started with a Facebook post suggesting a mural be created in Smith’s honor. “A group of local supporters including myself bonded together through Annapolis historian Janice Hayes,” Comacell Brown says. “In the Facebook post, the question was asked who should be the artist to paint it. By an overwhelming number of tags and reposts I won the opportunity.” A virtual fundraiser and open mic night presented by the Annapolis Community Foundation streamed on Facebook Monday night to raise money for the mural. Brown tells us, “A little over 5K was raised so far. We are at the halfway point to reaching a goal of $10K with donations still coming in.”
“We had several special guests including Mayor Gavin Buckley, his wife Julie, Kevin Lebling, Parris Lane, Jeff Huntington, Carl Corse and many others,” Brown says. “It was a great turnout and we’re hoping to get the mural started this weekend.” The mural will be located at Pinkey’s Liquor Store on West Street and will be about 12 feet high and 27 feet wide. Brown knew just how he wanted to paint Smith. “I envisioned a colorful abstract background of Annapolis with Carlester doing what he’s best known for: keeping the city clean, on foot with a smile and a wave,” Brown says. “Carlester is a ray of light that shines bright in the heart of many Annapolitans of all races. It’s only fitting to display that in this project. Bold, bright and beautiful.” It’s not just Annapolitans who appreciate Smith’s efforts. Last week Governor Hogan’s office presented Smith with a citation for his contributions to the community and the State of Maryland. p To make a donation, go to www.facebook. com/CarlesterSmithAnnapolis or send a check to P.O.

LMOST A WEEK after what may have been the most visible Juneteenth holiday to date, calls for an end to racism and injustice still echo strongly from major cities to small rural towns.
Demonstrations have happened in at least 1,700 places, according to tracking by USA Today (https://bit.ly/ProtestMap2020). And in large part, they aren’t being led by the seasoned veterans of
the civil rights movement of the 1960s. It is their children and grandchildren leading the modern movement. “I think a lot of people thought the civil rights movement ended after

Martin Luther King was assassinated in 1968. It never ended,” says Kevin Jackson Jr. Jackson is a 24-year-old Temple University student from Lusby, whose parents came to Calvert County to teach in the public school system. “My parents firmly believe in working in the education system to empower
African Americans and taught me to invest in my community.” Jackson graduated this spring with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and will return to Philadelphia to finish his master’s degree. After the murder of George Floyd, he says something was “ignited in him.” “In Philly, things got crazy,” says

Jackson. “They were protesting every day about everything. But when I came home, things were radically different.” Jackson wasn’t seeing that level of public social action in Southern Maryland. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Calvert NAACP’s annual Community Day had been canceled. Looking for a way to bring the com-
munity together, Jackson decided to organize a Juneteenth gathering. He began on June 11. Juneteenth was just eight days later. “I literally started planning something a week before. We faced a lot of pushback, trying to organize safely and working with different organizations. But we came together to sup-

SPEAKING UP FOR SOCIAL

Kristen Caminiti is the founder of the nonprofit Kindness Grows Here and teaches her own family about social justice. She will lead a panel, along with AACPS, June 25 on talking to kids about race. port a great holiday.” The Prince Frederick Juneteenth celebration drew about 250 people and included speakers and music. “We ended up having it in the parking lot of Mt. Olive UMC, and Maryland State Senator Mike Miller spoke, and so did clergy and Michael Kent. It was a great event and I think people came away enlightened, united, and empowered.” Samirah Brown spoke at the event. Brown is a 2018 graduate of Northern High School now attending Hampton University in Virginia where she studies kinesiology and Spanish. “I shared a little history about Juneteenth, but also highlighted how important our social justice movement is, issues like mass incarceration, police brutality, and my own experiences with racism.” Brown says she has worked to build relationships with many people across the country, in a variety of socially active organizations. Brown says she owes it to herself to use her own voice, her own words and her own platforms to let people know that “racial injustice and microaggression is absolutely here. People may think racism doesn’t exist here in Calvert County but I hear from
people who look like me, every day, the stories of how they are treated.” Brown, who lives in Dunkirk, moved to the area as a young child. “And it was an immediate culture shock. I came from a very multicultural school... there’s a low number of minority students here. I remember kids calling me names or yelling ‘KKK’ in my face. But I was only 11 at the time, so I didn’t know what I was supposed to say to them.” Shanae Mackall of Prince Frederick has experienced similar negative reactions. “Being a nurse in the area, I’m automatically assumed to be the janitor at times,” she writes. “I often discourage my children from wearing certain hairstyles because I don’t want them to be judged.” Mackall bought her home when she was just 20. “The area I purchased a home is automatically assumed to be a ‘bad neighborhood’ because it’s predominantly black. I listen to conversations with colleagues and hear such negative views of my neighborhood, and they’re shocked when I speak up and say I live there.” NaQuita Coates, 26, of Huntingtown

“People may think racism doesn’t exist here in Calvert County but I hear from people who look like me, every day, the stories of how they are treated.” —SAMIRAH BROWN, STUDENT, HAMPTON UNIVERSITY IN VIRGINIA is tired of her family being treated like second-class citizens, being pulled over for having tinted windows or loud music and then having their vehicles searched because they are assumed to have drugs. “I have lived here my whole life and I know that there are stores that I don’t go into because I know I am unwelcome there. I want our community to be unified, but we have to address the fact that we have white supremacy and racism here. People of color should feel safe here and be able to do regular things, like get an education, go to a store. I want a community without hate, there’s just so much here now.” Despite their negative experiences,
these young adults are working for change in their communities. They are linking up with supporters and organizers to be the voices of change for their generation, their peers, their younger siblings and beyond. Jackson works as a mentor and hosts Zoom meetings with other organizers, discussing legislation in various states and how to enlist public officials in their movement. To help feel like she was contributing to solutions, Mackall joined the local chapter of NAACP in “hopes of improving social and racial injustices in our community. Many of these injustices have always been present, but with the increased use of social media and cell phone footage,
Kristen Caminiti’s Crofton family did not join protest marches in their community, deciding instead to social distance, but made signs and chalk messages for protestors.
“There’s a new awareness and desire to do something, to help, so we want to help the parents out there who may not have ever had a conversation about race with their children.” —KRISTIN CAMINITI, FOUNDER OF KINDNESS GROWS HERE these issues are increasingly visible.” She says the solution to the hate and the racism starts with being proactive. “We need to elect officials who are active in the community. Officers need to get to know the people in the community so there isn’t a sense of fear on either side. I believe the Black community fears law officers and they fear us as well, because of prejudices. This often results in a negative reaction from both.” Coates draws on her background in social work to educate others through panels and forums with grassroots organizations. Moving forward requires understanding what the issues are, says
Brown. “Legislation is the only thing that can fix the issues and they are not just Johnny-Doesn’t-Like-Sally issues, they are deep-seated issues written into American laws, norms and rules of society since the start of this country, since the first colonists arrived here and took over native land.” These young adults want to be heard and they want to educate others on what they believe is a one-sided view of America. “People need to know the truth of history, where racial injustice started,” says Brown. “No one is trying to erase history, but we have to fix things so this country is fair and equitable for all Americans. Then we can move forward and heal.”
Marchers at the Annapolis Juneteenth event included several parents with young children. “This is my future right here,” said Tanisha Kemp, referring to her young son, Michael who walked alongside her. “I’m sick and tired of turning on the news and our future is being gunned down.” Helping our youngest Americans heal is the goal of Kristin Caminiti, founder of the nonprofit Kindness Grows Here. Caminiti, also a social worker began looking for ways to spread kindness. She and her family began by sharing candy bags, buying coffee, and bringing smiles to those in their Crofton neighborhood. But when a noose was found at Crofton Middle School, she knew a bigger movement was needed. “We did this big sidewalk chalking event, on Mother’s Day, that drew like 300 people to spread a message of diversity and inclusion—that hate is not tolerated here.” Caminiti believes there is an awakening happening among the white population, too. “There’s a new awareness and desire to do something, to help, so we want to help the parents out there

We want kids to realize they can do something about the struggles our world is facing, by being an ally, speaking out when they see racism, and learn to be empathetic. And our kids need the historical background as to why Blacks are treated poorly in our country. It’s important to talk to them.” And as Kemp’s son Michael remarked during the Annapolis rally, the way forward starts with our youngest citizens. “I want to help the whole community,” he said. p

SPORTING LIFE
BY DENNIS DOYLE
A Murder of Crows O ur Labrador pup Hobbes was swimming in the Little Magothy recently when I detected the first sounds of the battle. At first, I barely noticed, then finally the distant screaming of the large group of crows in the trees on the opposite shore alerted me to a serious conflict. There were, roughly, over 50 birds eventually involved in the skirmish and the apparent violence of their activity gave immediate proof to the collective term for any group or flock of them, “a murder of crows.” Crows have been a traditional and regulated hunting species managed by Maryland’s DNR with their own seasons, though not many people hunt them these days. Crows were hunted as a means of nuisance control in the region over the last century or so. Though their noisy confrontations are rarely fatal, there was a definite battle going on that day near the river, of a size and intensity I hadn’t seen in many years. There seemed to be an audible majority of American crows in the melee and as I scanned the tree tops a group of a half dozen of the dark avians broke out and flew directly over me, confirming my suspicions. The lead bird was missing a few flight feathers and was frantically trying to outdistance its five pursuers. Though all the birds were, visually, almost identical, those giving chase
FISHFINDER: The rockfish bite that has developed in the mid-Bay area is a bit underwhelming, the fish are just barely legal and not particularly numerous. The best areas to find them are Swan Point and Hodges Bar north of the Mouth of the Chester, Love Point, Hacketts, the Mouth of the Severn, the West and areas at the Mouth of the Eastern Bay as well as the Bay Bridge. These areas are not a surprise to anyone and not any one place particularly excellent but all will hold some stripers early and late in the day. Anglers trolling small to medium sized bucktails and similar lures are finding larger fish here and there but most are 19 to 26 inches. Chum anglers are also finding rockfish in the same areas and getting quick limits, not so difficult with a one fish per person possession limit. White perch are numerous but small on lumps in the same areas as well as along the shorelines in most tributaries. The crabbing is off to a slow start once again. Though there are some nice sizes showing up, their numbers are decidedly less than forecast by DNR. Time will tell if there is to be any improvement in the overall situation. were calling out angrily in a distinctive accent. It was obvious to my ears that the aggressors were of the common or American crow species and they were harassing a single unfortunate fish crow, which steadily maintained its urgent flight to safety. The fish crow is a particularly misunderstood bird mainly because most people don’t even realize that the unique species exists. Virtually indistinguish-

able in appearance from the American crow, the fish crow is a separate genus and is quite numerous in the region, especially over the last couple of decades. It has been the dominant species in my neighborhood for quite some time. The two crows differ from each other in body size, the fish crow being slightly smaller, and in feeding characteristics, the fish crow preferring to forage for fish and shellfish, their remains and various
seafood bits along shorelines, marshes and river beds. The larger American crow is more omnivorous and aggressive and its population much more numerous. The only reliable way to differentiate the two species, however, is by their call sound. The caw caw caw of the American crow is clearer and crisper than the fish crow which has a more nasal quality or burr to its voice, almost a Scottish accent. If you hear the two calling simultaneously one can easily recognize a difference. The West Nile Virus, which appeared in the U.S. in the late 1990s, had a big impact on all our crow populations but was especially fatal to the American crow. That species lost almost half of its population to the disease throughout the U.S. within very few years. It is now experiencing a strong rebound. The fish crow, however, was more resistant to the virus and over time their numbers became dominant in many southeastern coastal and river prominent areas. Since in some ways I’m, at least subliminally, a bit of a fish crow myself, I’ve a preference for their company. Their unique nasal caws have always found a friendly echo in my ears. Since that violent clash a few days ago, though, the shorelines have remained curiously silent of both species. Whether the aforementioned battle was one of actual territorial dominance or just a conflict of one flock migrating through another species’ home ground is uncertain. Since the odds of their mutual integration is virtually nil, I can only hope that the home team retained its grip on our neighborhood. We’ll soon see. ﵭ

CREATURE FEATURE
STORY AND PHOTOS BY WAYNE BIERBAUM
The Four-Toothed Mason Wasp I have a favorite camera lens, a 60mm macro. It was the first one that I purchased along with my first digital SLR camera. The camera is long gone but I still have the lens. A macro lens encourages me to see details that I would normally look past. Today, I was taking a walk around Jug Bay’s Glendening area and spotted a wasp that seemed ready to attack a bumble bee. The bee was in a nesting chamber and was blocking its home with its head and thorax. That wasp was an interesting one: a fourtoothed mason wasp. The four-toothed mason wasp is a solitary wasp. They meet up twice a year with the opposite sex for less than an hour. Other than that procreative time, they are on their own. The insects are all black except for two collars of white. The female wasp has a painfully poisonous stinger but the male has no poison. Adults are vegetarians, living on nectar and pollen. Only the young, the pupa, are insectivores. The care of the pupa is interesting. This type of mason wasp prefer the unused nesting chambers built by bumble bees and other species of
mason wasp to making their own. If they cannot find an unused chamber, they will remove the current residents by force—which is what appeared to be happening with the wasp I saw today. When the gravid female finds an adequate nesting chamber she will lay one egg and then fill the chamber with paralyzed caterpillars. A mud wall is added to block the tube-like structure and a space is left which is then capped with a second wall. The female lays about 20 eggs twice a year. The male wasps emerge from the chamber before females. The gravid female can tell the sex of the egg and will chamber the males separately. The offspring that are laid in the early summer mature and lay their own eggs in the fall. The pupa in those chambers don’t emerge until the next spring. The extra chamber may help with fending off the cold. I do not know how the four-toothed mason wasp got their name, except its mandibles have pointed projections. The mason wasp is not aggressive and rarely stings but resembles the white-faced hornet which lives in a colony and will swarm to attack when disturbed. ﵭ

f you planted cool weather cole crops early this spring, now’s the time you want to watch for pests. The cole crops, also known as cruciferous vegetables, belong to the brassica family. Since botanists classify most plants according to the structure of their flower, crucifer refers to the cross-shaped symmetrical yellow petals that occur when the plant bolts (produces seed). Brassicas, also called the cabbage family, include: cabbage, kale, collards, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, radishes, kohlrabi, turnips, rutabagas, arugula and Asian greens. Brassicas need fertile soil with plenty of organic matter and a good supply of available nitrogen. One of the best ways to achieve this is to add chopped leaves, leaf mold or compost to the soil in the fall. Also add lime at the rate of 1 pound per 20 square feet and mix in. A good nitrogen source is dehydrated alfalfa at the rate of one quart for 25 square feet. Cutworms enjoy eating brassicas and can fell young transplants. To find a cutworm, wiggle your finger around the soil to find the fat off-white pest and squish it or feed it to your chickens. You can make a collar out of plastic or paper cups with the bottoms cut out and pushed down about an inch around
each plant for protection. When your kale is looking beautiful and you have visions of gorgeous broccoli, check your plants for holes in the leaves. That’s usually an indication of the cabbage worms or cabbage loopers. If they go undetected they will devastate your brassicas. They always hide under the leaves and usually occur together in the garden. Cabbage worms are medium green, one-inch long caterpillars with subtle yellow stripes along their sides. The adults are the cabbage white butterflies with three black dots on their wings. They flit around the garden and lay their eggs on the back of the leaves. Cabbage loopers are also green and arch their backs as they move. The adult is a gray moth that flies at night. The caterpillars are hard to see because of their green color. Also watch out for the armyworm, a brown striped caterpillar that turns into a cream-colored moth. Squish all of them. Planting hyssop, rosemary, mint, wormwood, thyme and sage can all help to repel these pests. For immediate control use Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) or neem oil soap. Protect your brassicas and they will reward you with good nutritious food that can protect your health. ﵭ

Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Frank Welker, and Charlie Tahan in Frankenweenie.
Sparky. He abandons filmmaking for science, determined to find a way to bring Sparky back from the dead. When he succeeds, however, the town is dubious about the undead doggy living in their neighborhood. A great family-friendly take on the Frankenstein tale, Frankenweenie is an example of director Tim Burton at his best. The visuals are strong, the storytelling is dark, but sweet, and there are plenty of excellent references. Kids will love Frankenweenie for the cute puppy and the funny hijinks, but adults will appreciate references to classic horror movies of the ‘30s and ‘40s. For classic movie aficionados who are looking for light fare or families trying to introduce their little ones to horror without traumatizing them, Frankenweenie is well worth the view.
HULU: Crawl With a hurricane barreling down on her hometown, swimmer Haley (Kaya Scodelario) leaves practice early to drive home and check on her dad. He hasn’t answered his phone all day and their home is in the middle of a flood plain, so Haley worries that he’s trapped in the house somewhere. He is trapped – but not by the weather. A giant alligator has made its home in the crawl space of their home, trapping Haley’s father, and soon, Haley herself. Can this father-daughter duo defeat a giant hungry reptile before the weather destroys the house? Or are they about to be the blue plate special? Crawl is a monster B-movie that offers up a lesson in how to make a genre film, with plenty of tension and laughs. It’s concise, cuts to the action immediately, and peppers in just enough actual character development to make you want the characters to survive. Anchored by a fierce lead performance from Scodelario, Crawl is a great flick for tweens and up – just scary enough to keep them interested without being too traumatic. Check out this movie and you’ll think twice before getting anything out of the basement.

PRIME: Hereditary After losing her mother, Annie (Toni Collette) tries to deal with her grief and reconcile their fraught relationship. But something won’t settle in Annie’s life. She keeps seeing her mom in the shadows, and feeling like bad luck is befalling her family. Is Annie crumbling under the stress of her loss? Or is there some sort of tragic energy drawn to her family? One of the best debut feature films in modern history, Hereditary is a meditation on grief, fate, and madness all wrapped up in a terrific horror story. The less you know about the plot, the better, but know that little ones should be tucked away long before you start watching this movie (otherwise the scariest thing you see will be the therapist bill). Writer/director Ari Aster uses brilliant cinematography to up the tension as he chronicles a family unraveling. Collette’s brilliant lead performance anchors the film in a disturbing reality that only serves to make the film more unnerving. If you’re looking for a movie that’s more than jump scares, try Hereditary. This is a story that will haunt you long after the credits roll.

Summer Scares Ease the tension with horror movies, from mild to terrifying ometimes, a little scare is a welcome distraction. While news can be stress-inducing, every now and then something scary can release the tension. This week, why not try a little scare-therapy with five movies sure to distract you from the state of the world today? From gruesome to mild, here are my top picks currently available on streaming services.

NETFLIX: Candyman Candyman. Candyman. Candy – don’t say it five times, or disaster will befall you. At least, that’s what the legend says. Grad student Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen) is writing her thesis on local urban legends when she comes across the story of The Candyman (Tony Todd), a man with a hook for a hand who is summoned if you say his name five times while looking in a mirror. If you do call him, you’ll find yourself on the bloody end of his hook as he tears you to bits. Helen thinks the stories are quaint myths, but when she starts digging, and foolishly decides to try out the summoning ritual, she finds out that some scary stories are warnings rather than flights of fancy. A horror classic that’s got creepy visuals and a pretty fascinating story, Candyman is not for the faint of heart. Todd’s iconic turn as the vengeful spirit inspired a whole series of creepy films. Director Bernard Rose uses operatic gore and chilling cinematography to help build the mystery of his villain. If you love a good ghost story, or just relish the idea of daring someone to say Candyman five times while looking into a mirror, this is the flick for you. As a bonus, the movie is being remade this year with a fun modern twist. Good Horror * R * 99 mins.
DISNEY+: Frankenweenie Victor (Charlie Tahan) is an aspiring filmmaker who loves horror films. The star of his home movies is Victor’s best friend, and pet dog, Sparky. But when Sparky is hit by a car, Victor’s world is shattered. But Victor refuses to give up on
What We Do in the Shadows In New Zealand, a camera crew arrives to document some truly unique subjects: vampires. Vladislav (Jemaine Clement), Viago (Taika Waititi), and Deacon (Jonathan Brugh) are undead roommates who squabble about doing the dishes and cleaning up after a fresh kill. The documentary crew follows the trio as they prepare for a high-profile vampire ball. A hilarious mockumentary that imagines the pitfalls of being a modern-day vampire (how do you pay rent if you can only work and eat at night?), What We Do in the Shadows is the perfect horror movie for people who don’t like horror. Directed by Clement and Waititi, this is a movie that’s both heartfelt and wickedly funny. Watching a vampire dither about whether eating chips (that’s fries for us Americans) is a good idea, is actually fairly relatable for those of us who aren’t immortal. If you’re looking for a light flick that cleverly deconstructs vampire tropes, What We Do in the Shadows is a brilliant choice. And if you like it, you can catch up on the equally funny TV series on Hulu. ﵭ

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In addition to being a magnificent storyteller, Aries author Barbara Kingsolver raises chickens at her home. “There are days when I am envious of my hens,” she writes, “when I hunger for a purpose as perfect and sure as a single daily egg.” Do you ever experience that delightful rush of assurance, Aries? I suspect that you’re likely to do so on multiple occasions in the coming weeks. And if you are indeed visited by visions of a perfect and sure purpose, your next task will be to initiate practical action to manifest it in the real world.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Nobel Prize-winning Taurus physicist Richard Feynman got his undergraduate degree from prestigious MIT and his PhD from prestigious Princeton University. Later he taught at prestigious Caltech. But his approach to education had a maverick quality. “Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent, and original manner possible,” he advised his students. I think his strategy will work well for you in the coming weeks, which will be a favorable time to gather valuable information and polish your existing aptitudes.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’re entering a phase when you’ll have the potential to upgrade and fine-tune your relationship with money. In the hope of encouraging that prospect, I offer you the counsel of author Katharine Butler Hathaway. “To me, money is alive,” she wrote. “It is almost human. If you treat it with real sympathy and kindness and consideration, it will be a good servant and work hard for you, and stay with you and take care of you.” I hope you’ll consider cultivating that approach, dear Gemini: expressing benevolence and love toward money, and pledging to be benevolent and loving as you use the money you acquire.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Who would deduce the dragonfly from the larva, the iris from the bud, the lawyer from the infant?” Author Diane Ackerman asks her readers that question, and now I pose the same inquiry to you—just in time for your Season of Transformation. “We are all shape-shifters and magical reinventors,” Ackerman says. I will add that you Cancerians now have the potential to be exceptional shape-shifters and magical reinventors. What new amazements might you incorporate into your life? What dazzling twists and twinkles would you like to add to your character? What will the Future You be like?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Qabalistic teacher Ann Davies asked, “If you stick your finger in the fire, do you then complain that it is unfair when your finger gets burned? Do you call the fire bad?” I offer you this caution, Leo, because I want to encourage you not to stick your fingers or toes or any other parts of you into the fire dur-

ing the coming weeks. And I’m happy to inform you that there are better approaches to finding out what’s important to learn about the fire. The preferred way is to watch the fire keenly and patiently from a modest distance. If you do so long enough, you’ll get all you need.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In accordance with upcoming astrological portents, I urge you to engage in a vigorous redefinition of the term “miracle.” That will open you up to the full range of miraculous phenomena that are potentially available in the coming weeks. For inspiration, read this passage by Faith Baldwin: “Miracles are everyday things. Not only sudden great fortune wafting in on a new wind. They are almost routine, yet miracles just the same. Every time something hard becomes easier; every time you adjust to a situation which, last week, you didn’t know existed; every time a kindness falls as softly as the dew; or someone you love who was ill grows better; every time a blessing comes, not with trumpet and fanfare, but silently as night, you have witnessed a miracle.”
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When Libras become authoritative enough to wield clout in their own sphere of influence, it’s often due to three factors: 1. the attractive force of their empathy; 2. their abilities to listen well and ask good questions, which help enable them to accurately read people’s emotional energy; 3. their knack for knowing specific tricks that promote harmony and a common sense of purpose. If you possess any of these talents, dear Libra, the next eight weeks will be a favorable time to employ them with maximum intensity and ingenuity and integrity. You’re primed to acquire and wield more leverage.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There is only one kind of erotic intimacy between consenting adults that can truly be called “unnatural”: an act that is physically impossible to perform. Everything else is potentially vitalizing and holy. No one knows this better than you Scorpios. You’re the champions of exotic pleasure; the connoisseurs of blissful marvels; the masters of curious delight and extraordinary exultation. And from an astrological perspective, the coming weeks will be a time when these aspects of your character could be especially vivid. But wait a minute. What about the pandemic? What about social-distancing? What about being cautious in seeking intimate connection? If anyone can work around these constraints so as to have sexual fun, it’s your tribe. Use your imagination!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When he was 22 years old, Sagittarian-born Werner Heisenberg received his doctorate in physics and mathematics from a German university—even though he got a grade of C on his final exams. Nine years later, he
was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics because of his pioneering work on quantum mechanics. What happened in between? One key development: He was mentored by physicists Niels Bohr and Max Born, both of whom also garnered Nobel Prizes. Another factor in his success was his association with other brilliant colleagues working in his field. I hope this story inspires you Sagittarians to be on the lookout for catalytic teachers and colleagues who can expedite your evolution. The planetary omens are favorable for such an eventuality.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You Capricorns aren’t renowned for causing controversy. For the most part you’re skillful at managing your reputation and keeping it orderly. But there may soon be a departure from this norm. A bit of a hubbub could arise in regards to the impressions you’re making and the effects you’re generating. I’m reminded of Capricorn author J. D. Salinger, whose book Catcher in the Rye was for a time widely taught in American schools but also widely banned because of its allegedly controversial elements. These days the book is regarded as a beloved classic, and I suspect you will weather your commotion with similar panache.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Novelist Tom Robbins articulated a vision of what it means to be bold and brave. He said, “Real courage is risking something that might force you to rethink your thoughts and suffer change and stretch consciousness.” I’m hoping you will make that formula your keynote in the coming weeks. The time is right for you to summon extra amounts of fortitude, determination, and audacity. What new possibilities are you ready to flesh out in ways that might prod you to revise your beliefs and welcome transformation and expand your awareness?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Joan of Arc performed her heroic and magical feats in 1430 and 1431. But she wasn’t canonized as a saint until 1920—almost five centuries later. It took a while to garner the full appreciation she deserved. I’m sure you won’t have to wait as long to be acknowledged for your good deeds and fine creations, Pisces. In fact, from what I can tell, there’ll be a significant honor, enhancement, or reward coming your way sometime in the next four months. Start visualizing what you’d like it to be, and set your intention to claim it. Homework: What’s one thing you could do to enhance the well-being of a person or people you don’t know?

COMPILED BY ANDREWS M MEEL SYNDICATION Awesome! The Boston Typewriter Orchestra has been performing its unique brand of music throughout New England since 2004 and will now be releasing its first vinyl album later this summer. Self-proclaimed conductor Tim Devin and a group of friends founded the ensemble as a joke, reports Ripley’s Believe It or Not, and after premiering at Boston’s Art Beat Festival, the idea took off. Using vintage machines to rhythmically clack, roll, spin and bang out “music,” the typist-musicians say different models produce different sounds. “A Smith-Corona Galaxy 12 has a power space function that makes a nice metallic clang sound,” explained Brendan Emmett Quigley.

Desperate Times • In April, following the cancellation of basketball madness, a Twitter account called March Madness of Flags was launched “for the love of vexillology,” pitting banners from all over the world against one another in a fearsome bracket to determine which was the “coolest flag.” During the final four, held over the weekend of June 13-14, the St. Louis (Missouri) flag beat out Stuttgart’s entry, then went on to clinch the championship in a commanding 625-49 victory over the standard from Yaroslavl Oblast, a Russian
nessee was closed on June 15 after a guest at SkyLift Park attempted to execute a baseball-style slide across the glass panels in the middle of the bridge and a piece of metal on the guest’s clothing chipped and cracked the top layer of glass. According to WBIR, multiple signs warn against “running, jumping or bouncing” on the SkyBridge, the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in North America. Park spokesman Marcus Watson said the top layer of glass serves only as protection for the other two layers and the cracks didn’t affect the span’s structural integrity. Workers replaced the layer of glass with cedar planks and the bridge has been reopened. • The U.S. Forest Service is investigating a photo posted by David Lesh, 35, on Instagram showing him walking on a log across Hanging Lake in Garfield County, Colorado, in defiance of clearly posted rules prohibiting people from entering the water there. The post blew up with criticisms, but Lesh fired back, challenging others to walk on the log and even defecate in the lake. KDVR reported Lesh has a history of runins with authorities, including being cited for harassing a moose with his car in 2014 and setting 25 grocery carts on fire in Boulder, Colorado. Earlier this year he was caught snowmobiling in the Keystone ski area when the slopes were shut down because of COVID-19. On June 16 he was ordered to pay $500 and do 50 hours of community service for another snowmobiling incident from 2019.

• In Oakland, California’s Grand Lake neighborhood, Gerald the turkey has been an institution for some time, regularly queueing up with carpool riders near Morcom Rose Garden. But lately, Gerald has grown grumpy and started attacking park visitors, reports KGO, prompting complaints to Oakland Animal Services. “I swear I was getting flashbacks to the velociraptor scenes in Jurassic Park as he was ‘cooing’ at me, sizing me up,” one said. Others said Gerald charged them, clawing and pecking as they tried to run. In response, the city closed the rose garden at the end of May and asked people not to feed Gerald or any other wildlife, as it “may have contributed to the male turkey becoming more aggressive,” the parks department said. Animal control officers are also trying to “train him to revert to natural behaviors,” but have had limited success keeping him socially distanced from humans. • Kalua, an infamous alcoholic monkey in Kanpur, India, has been sentenced to live out his days in isolation, Gulf News reported. The animal once belonged to a local occultist who would give him alcohol. After the owner died, Kalua couldn’t get his fix and became aggressive, sinking his teeth into more than 250 people, one of who died of his wound. The Kanpur zoo took Kalua in, trying to acclimate him to captivity and other monkeys, but zoo workers are throwing in the towel. “It has been three years since he was brought here,” said zoo doctor Mohd Nasir. “He will remain in captivity all his life.”

Awwwwww Seniors from Glens Falls High School near Tulsa, Oklahoma, pulled a classic prank on what would have been the last day of their high school career: On June 12, they hung a large sign from the school saying, “For Sale! Vacant Since March,” along with some of the school’s attributes, such as “2 full size gyms” and “swimming pool.” But Principal Tammy Silvernell could hardly be mad: Attached to the back of the sign was a letter from students she characterized as “the most polite pranksters ever,” according to The Daily Gazette. “This was all in good fun,” the letter read. “We hope to have made you laugh and miss us a little more ... thank you all for an amazing four years at GFHS!” The students also offered to remove the sign and included a phone number to call.
The Way the World Works Saying that “extra precautions are justifiable and understandable where the president is concerned,” Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that anyone meeting President Vladimir Putin at his house outside Moscow or in the Kremlin must pass through a disinfection tunnel that showers visitors with a “disinfecting aerosol” and a bath of ultraviolet light. The Guardian reported on June 17 the tunnels can also use facial recognition software and take the visitor’s temperature. Peskov said, “They were installed when the epidemic was in full swing,” but would not say whether Putin has used the tunnels himself.

in 2 minutes from the letters in: Perfume (40 words)
Ah, the flowers, spices, resins, gums, grasses, fruits, balsams, and roots. The ingredients of love and dreams. Interestingly enough, perfume comes from two Latin words: per 'through' and fumus 'smoke.' Early perfumes were actually scented smoke from fragrant logs added to funeral pyres to mask the scent of burning flesh. One of the first scented lotions in a bottle to gain popularity in France was called 'CremeMate.' Scoring: 31 - 40 = Aloft; 26 - 30 = Ahead; 21 - 25 = Aweigh; 16 - 20 = Amidships; 11 - 15 = Aboard; 05 - 10 = Adrift; 01 - 05 = Aground
