Parades, Boating & Yes, Fireworks: Independence Day on the Bay

he Fourth of July in the Chesapeake Bay region is usually a joyous—and muggy— occasion. We celebrate the birth of our nation with fireworks, local parades, cookouts and boating. Most years, we swelter, but it’s all part of the fun. We’re lucky to live alongside hundreds of miles of shoreline where we can cool off. The CBM Bay Weekly crew is out with the best of ‘em—not just reporting on local Independence Day events but experiencing them right along with the readers. No surprise here, many of us spend the 4th on a boat—whether in a kayak, a center console, or a cruising sailboat anchored out overnight. Others watch (and join) their town’s patriotic parades. Boy Scouts, marching bands, floats and kids’ bikes decorated with streamers make for some old-fashioned Americana. Publisher John Stefancik and his family walk the B&A Trail to see Severna Park’s parade. Managing Editor Kathy Knotts had the honor of judging the Shady Side 4th of July parade last year (sitting under a tent with fans like a VIP). She helped choose the winners for Best Float, Most Creative and even Best Antique Tractor. Production Manager Betsy Kehne has managed to pull off the total package: parades, boating, cooking out and fireworks. “Family and

friends usually converge at my house. Early birds watch the Shady Side parade while the rest show in time for a cookout, kayaking and watching fireworks across the Bay,” she says. Staff writer Krista Pfunder often hosted a big grill-out at her Owings home, too. “I made everyone play Independence Day-related games (trivia about historical events, count the number of red, white and blue jelly beans in a jar, etc.),” she says. Advertising Account Manager Susan Nolan recalls standing on a rooftop with a dozen family members, belting out patriotic tunes, on her Fourth of July honeymoon. “It was one song after another... Star Spangled Banner, My Country Tis of Thee, America the Beautiful, Yankee Doodle, 1814…” As for fireworks, watching the show by boat has been the ticket for Account Manager Audrey Broomfield—and for me, too. If you planned it right you could take in multiple fireworks displays in different parts of the sky. My family took a long weekend on the sailboat most years during my childhood. We often aimed for Cambridge, Oxford and St. Michaels—three sets of fireworks in one trip. Just after the grand finale of the show, I was allowed to sound the boat’s air horn, joining all the other vessels honking their appreciation. This Independence Day of course isn’t going

to be exactly like those in the past. The biggest festivals and fireworks displays are canceled. Some of us will opt to head for the mountains, hold a 4th of July Zoom call, or watch fireworks displays on TV. Just like the rest of pandemic life, we’ll have to adjust our expectations and lean into the traditions we can celebrate safely. And there are still plenty of opportunities for fun. Cookouts? Yes! Just keep the group small and local. Boat rides? Absolutely. Follow proper safety precautions, knowing it’s the most popular weekend on the water all year. Parades? Yes, two cherished local parades are still taking place with modifications (see Bay Planner, page 12). Fireworks? We’re sharing our list of public displays that haven’t been canceled along the Chesapeake. Some are private but may still be visible from a socially-distant location (see fireworks feature page 8). All of us at Bay Weekly look forward to getting back to our full-blown Independence Day traditions another year, but in 2020, we’ll celebrate the best Chesapeake Country has to offer. Happy 4th! p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

MARITIME MUSEUM’S WOODEN BUYBOAT SET ON FIRE, ARSONIST SOUGHT

95-year-old draketail oyster buyboat is threatened by arson after hours at the Annapolis Maritime Museum, but someone was able to put out the fire before things got too bad. The Peg Wallace is one of the few Hoopers Island draketails left. Now arson investigators are looking for the person who tried to destroy her. The suspect was caught on camera at the Annapolis Maritime Museum just before 6 a.m. on Sunday, June 21, intentionally setting fire to the wooden boat. “We could see him basically parking his car, bringing some material over, and then trying to set the boats on fire,” says Museum Education Director Sarah Krizek. Luckily, someone on the pier saw what happened and grabbed sand and a hose to put out the fire before firefighters arrived. The Annapolis Fire Department responded and called for the Fire and Explosives Services Unit (FESU) to determine the cause. Annapolis Fire Marshals released photos of the suspect in hopes of identifying him. The damage was minimal thanks to the quick action on the pier. “Luckily, there was no structural damage,” says Annapolis Maritime Museum volunteer Ken Kaiser. Bay Bulletin was there as wooden boat volunteers helped repair the damage to the historically significant boat. “That boat is near 100 years old, so it’s 4 • BAY WEEKLY • July 2 - July 9, 2020

certainly Chesapeake Bay history,” says Kaiser, who sanded and painted the damaged wood of the Peg Wallace. The draketail, launched in 1925, worked in coordination with boats like the historic skipjack Wilma Lee, which just began public cruises from the Annapolis Maritime Museum this summer. “The Wilma Lee is a boat that would dredge oysters. So, it would go out and harvest the oysters. And then this type of boat would go up to the Wilma Lee and purchase them so the Wilma Lee wouldn’t have to go back to a place like the McNasby’s [seafood market] and sell them,” explains Krizek. The Peg Wallace is one of less than 20 surviving draketails, given their name for the stern’s unusual shape. “The back looks somewhat like the tail of a duck,” says volunteer Bob Mumper. “It’s long and narrow so the idea there was to give it more speed.” Fortunately, the boat’s rich maritime history is not gone from the museum’s Eastport campus. Museum leaders don’t know what may have motivated the arson, but they want everyone to know that these antique boats help preserve history. Anyone with information on this arson should call Fire Marshal M. Madison at 410-263-7975 ext 6744 or mamadison@annapolis.gov. —CHERYL COSTELLO

VIRAL VIDEO SHOWS BEACHGOER CLASH WITH ASSATEAGUE PONY

ideo posted on Facebook over the weekend of a woman’s interaction with an Assateague wild pony is getting a lot of attention—and serves as a reminder that the island belongs to the ponies. The footage shows a pony nosing for food on a beach blanket with beachgoers nearby at Assateague Island National Seashore. A woman walks up behind the pony and hits it with a shovel, in what appears to be an attempt to shoo it away. When the pony is hit, it kicks the woman from behind. She does not appear to be seriously injured. The video went up on the People of the Ocean City Boardwalk Facebook page (a group with nearly 45,000 followers) on Saturday and has been shared 4,000 times. Assateague Island National Sea-

shore says law enforcement staff were notified about the video, as it violates the Wildlife Protection code prohibiting “the feeding, touching, teasing, frightening or intentional disturbing of wildlife nesting, breeding or other activities”—including those of horses. The Maryland herd is a free roaming population and have access to all areas of the island from the Ocean City Inlet to the Maryland/Virginia state line. The law (posted on signs at both Assateague State Park and Assateague Island National Seashore) require people to maintain a distance of 40 feet from the horses at all times—even if horses come into an area where you are set up on the beach. If horses do approach, calmly move away to a safe distance. While most of the island’s horses are skittish, those that live in the developed area around the beach have become conditioned to humans and see us as a food source— so they do what the Assateague Island Alliance calls “beach blanket raids,” searching for visitors’ snack bags. The national park’s partner nonprofit explains that horses may become aggressive around a food source they consider to be theirs. That makes it especially important to secure all food as you would at a campsite. “In addition to avoiding being bitten or kicked, you are helping to keep the horses healthy as human and pet food has been the direct cause of illness and death in some individuals among the wild horses,” says Assateague Island Alliance Outreach Coordinator Ashlie Kozlowski. The Assateague Island Alliance says situations like the one in the video have See PONY on next page

happened before. Board President Nancy Gaither says some people don’t realize how unpredictable the horses can be. “Over the weekend, I saw a woman posing for a photo with a young stallion (who is very active these days in trying to “recruit” mares. He’s been in several altercations with other stallions). This woman had her hand on his rump, not understanding he could “turn” in an instant,” Gaither recounts. The group continues to work with the National Seashore to educate the public to avoid these negative interactions. There are three Horse Manage-

ment Interns to remind people about safe distancing. All 222 picnic tables were replaced last year with tables with horse-proof food storage boxes, and the partner agencies distribute nylon cooler straps to secure food that visitors bring into the park. “The short term goal is to keep food inaccessible to horses so they will return to their natural forage of marsh grass and the long term goal is to de-habituate the horses to no longer associate humans with food,” Kozlowski tells Bay Bulletin. Ultimately, “Visitors must take personal responsibility for their ac-

tions and behaviors when visiting Assateague or any other natural area with wildlife present,” National Park Service Chief of Interpretation and Education Liz Davis says. “Obviously, most beaches do not have wild horses roaming about, but that is just the reason to find out more about this place before you arrive. We have a phone number, a website and social media platforms that may all be utilized for more information.” You can call 410641-1441 or visit www.nps.gov/asis.

hesapeake Bay researchers are leading the way on a $10 million research project to accelerate shellfish aquaculture. A team led by engineers at the University of Maryland received the research grant from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). Professor Miao Yu, of the University of Maryland (UMD) engineering school, says the grant will allow the team to develop new technology and sustainable management tools. Then farmers can take advantage of both the economic potential and environmental benefits of shellfish growing, which UMD says has been held back by outdated tools and methods until now. “Up to this point, we haven’t really explored this industry’s potential because it still relies on antiquated technologies—in some cases, tools that go back hundreds of years,” says Yu.

Professor Yu points out that not only are shellfish an excellent source of protein, they can bolster the economy in rural coastal communities (like many on the Chesapeake Bay). Grant partner UMES plan to prepare undergraduate students “particularly socially and economically disadvantaged and first-generation college students in rural coastal areas, to become a skilled workforce in the American aquaculture industry.” What kind of technology is the team looking at to make shellfish farming more advanced? Underwater drone monitoring and smart harvesting “can bring about a major boost in production,” Yu says. “Drone-based technologies for crop surveying and early disease detection. Vision-guided crop cultivation. GPSguided harvesting. These technologies exist for land agriculture; why shouldn’t they for shellfish aquaculture, too?” says UMD Professor Yang Tao, a grant collaborator. Researchers have extensive expertise in imaging, robotics and artificial intelligence, seafood automation, aquacul-

James Clark School of Engineering, team members come from the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and College of Computer, Mathematical and Natural Sciences as well as the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES), University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES), Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and others. Not only are current shellfish farming practices like dredging imprecise, they damage the reefs oysters depend on. With smart technology, harvesting can be more productive and also better protect fragile ecosystems underwater. Oyster aquaculture is growing as an industry on the Bay—about 15 percent each year, according to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. UMCES researchers point out that investing in more oyster farm growth on the Chesapeake Bay means more oysters in the water, improving its health. —MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

BAY BULLETIN 300TH ANIMAL SAVED IN AQUARIUM MILESTONE

he National Aquarium in Baltimore hit a milestone worth celebrating this week: its animal rescue program released its 300th rehabilitated animal in program history. Number 300 was a large Kemp’s ridley turtle nicknamed Muenster (all of this year’s rescues were named after cheeses by aquarium staff). He was released at Assateague State Park last Thursday along with three other Kemp’s ridley turtles (called Asiago, Brie and Marscapone) and six green turtles (Chechil, Cotija, Fontina, Pimento, Monterey Jack and Roquefort). The critically endangered Kemp’s ridleys were rescued after being found coldstunned on the Massachusetts coast. The green turtles came from the North Carolina coast. All the turtles had been at the Aquarium’s state-of-the-art Animal Rescue Center for at least five months. The turtles were treated for common cold-stun conditions including pneumonia, respiratory distress, dehydration, infection and emaciation. The Animal Rescue program was founded in 1991, and since then, 242 of the 300 animals saved and released by the team have been turtles.

Photo Courtesy of the National Aquarium “With the help of many volunteers and partners including Assateague State Park, the Town of Ocean City and the Department of Natural Resources, we have been able to rehabilitate and release more than 300 animals which is a true milestone,” said Jennifer Dittmar, director of animal rescue at the National

Aquarium. “This work allows critically endangered species like the Kemp’s ridley sea turtles to have a fighting chance and also helps to educate the public on how we can be better stewards of the environment around us.” The National Aquarium’s Animal Rescue program responds to all

stranded marine mammals and sea turtles on the Maryland coast and works with stranding partner through the entire Greater Atlantic Region. See the video: https://chesapeake baymagazine.com/video-300th-ani mal-saved-in-aquarium-milestone/. —MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

State Steps Up to Fund Memorial for Capital Gazette Staff BY KATHY KNOTTS

$300,000 this week for the construction of the Guardians of Free Speech, a memorial that pays tribute to John McNamara, Gerald Fischman, Wendi Winters, Rob Hiaasen and Rebecca Smith with five pillars erected in front of the text of the First Amendment carved in stone. Moody Graham of Washington, D.C. is designing the memorial. Maryland plans to award the money on July 1 and the project is set to be

finished and unveiled in 2021, on the three-year commemoration of the mass shooting. Governor Larry Hogan officially declared June 28 Maryland Press Freedom Day in honor of those killed and to “honor and protect all journalists serving a vital role in the world’s democratic process to inform residents of the happenings of their governments.” “Two years ago, five Marylanders

lost their lives to a heinous and unthinkable act of violence,” Hogan said. “We honor those we lost and all who have lost their lives in the pursuit of informing our citizens, we recognize the vital role that the freedom of the press has in our democracy and our duty to honor and protect this most fundamental constitutional right.” A Fallen Journalists Memorial in Washington, D.C., was also proposed last year and is currently awaiting approval by the full U.S. House of Representatives. The new memorial would be the only one in the District to commemorate journalists after the closing of the Newseum in 2019.

Author to Discuss Antiracism Book in Local Library Collaboration BY KRISTA PFUNDER

he New York Times-bestselling author of How to be an Antiracist will discuss his book live online thanks to support from local libraries and other organizations. Author, history professor, and 2019 Guggenheim Fellow Ibram X. Kendi will talk about his book with Dr. Charlene M. Dukes, president of Prince George’s County Community College live Monday, July 20 at 7pm. Praised as “The most courageous book to date on the problem of race in the Western mind” (New York Times), Kendi’s work has provided a new counterpoint in the national conversation about race in America. Kendi is also the founding director of the Boston University Center for Antiracist Research and a columnist at The Atlantic, as well as a correspondent with CBS News. How to Be an Antiracist invites readers to explore new ways of thinking about themselves and those around them. He asks readers to picture what an antiracist society would look like, and how they can play a role in building that society. Kendi sits down with Dr. Dukes, the first African-American woman to serve as president of the college with 30 years of progressive leadership experience and administrative responsibility in higher education. The event is a partnership between 11 Maryland library systems and a handful of other organizations. The timing of an offer to collaborate was perfect for Calvert County Library. “Many customers and library partners in our community have expressed a need for antiracism resources and events,” says Robyn Truslow, public relations coordinator for Calvert Library. “Prince George’s County Memorial Library System invited us to be a co-presenter for a well-known and timely author presentation in exchange for our help in publicizing it.” The event will be streamed live on Crowdcast, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter/Periscope, and will air on PGCC TV at a later date. To register, visit https://calvertlibrary.info/ or www.KendiPGC.eventbrite.com. “The library hopes to inspire and inform,” Truslow says. “This event promises to do both.” p

SPARKLE , DON’T

EXPLODE Here’s how to find, enjoy fireworks in 2020 BY KATHY KNOTTS

OU COULD thank the second U.S. President, John Adams for the American love of fireworks on July 4th. After all, he was the one who hoped that “the great anniversary Festival... ought to be commemorated...with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”

The annual summer tradition of lighting up the skies in honor of Independence Day has become complicated this summer because of the coronavirus pandemic. From the mega-fireworks shows over the Bay in Annapolis and Baltimore to the smaller but still-popular shows in Chesapeake Beach and Solomons, July 4th celebrations were scrapped in an effort to reduce crowd contact and the spread of the virus. Only a handful of locations will launch pyrotechnics 8 • BAY WEEKLY • July 2 - July 9, 2020

this weekend—most in private communities or with a limited number of guests. In Anne Arundel County, only the Gibson Island Club and a private landowner in Edgewater have been granted fireworks permits for the weekend. In Calvert County, fireworks will be launched at Prince Frederick’s Running Hare Vineyard July 3. The lack of public displays means more people will be staying home and lighting their own sparklers

and fireworks, says Maryland State Fire Marshal Brian Geraci. More consumer fireworks could mean more injuries this year. Geraci led a fireworks safety demonstration last week at the Howard County Public Safety Training Center. His office stressed safety must still be a high priority with at-home fireworks use. Fireworks were involved with an estimated 10,000 injuries treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments last year. And determining what is and isn’t legal in different localities may not be simple. In Maryland, any firework that explodes or launches a projectile in the air or moves on the ground is illegal, including firecrackers, cherry bombs, Black Cats

and M-80s. Individual counties have their own restrictions. In Calvert County, the only legal fireworks are sparklers and ground-based sparkling devices that are non-aerial nonexplosive. In Prince George’s County, Baltimore City and Ocean City, all fireworks including sparklers are prohibited. Sparklers may seem tame, but they can turn dangerous—especially in the hands of children. A spark from a sparkler can easily set clothing on fire and the metal can reach up to 1200 degrees. The types of fireworks that cause the most injuries are firecrackers, sparklers and bottle rockets.

PARADES! Find local Fourth of July parades in Bay Planner, page 12

When purchasing fireworks, watch for terms like “shoot” or “explode” as those signal an illegal product. Follow label warnings and instructions. Do not allow children to use fireworks. Stay sober while using fireworks and have a bucket of water available nearby to fully extinguish the remains. Leftover unused fireworks should be soaked in water before disposal. Do not attempt to re-light a firework. If you are enjoying the July 4th holiday (boating’s busiest time of year) on the water, do not light fireworks on your boat. “With gallons of fuel and other flammable materials aboard your boat, you would be truly risking lives,” said BoatUS Foundation Assistant Director of Boating Safety Ted Sensenbrenner. “It’s not worth the risk. There is no safe place aboard a boat suitable for using fireworks.” Instead of lighting fireworks or sparklers at home, For Bay Bulletin’s list of fireworks displays in the Chesapeake Bay region, see https://chesapeakebaymagazine.com/ where-to-catch-fireworks-in-the-bay-region/

Geraci encourages attendance at a public fireworks display. Of course, they are few and far between. The 2020 Salute to America on the South Lawn of the White House and Ellipse will still be held on July 4, according to a White House statement. “In addition to music, military demonstrations, and flyovers to honor our Nation’s service members and veterans, the President will deliver remarks that celebrate our independence and salute our amazing heritage. The evening will culminate with a spectacular fireworks display over the National Mall.” “Fireworks have been a long tradition of the 4th of July holiday celebrations. Please make safety your number one priority so everyone can enjoy the holiday season.” stated Geraci. “By acting responsibly, we can help eliminate fireworks injuries in Maryland.” p

KEEP PETS SAFE FOR JULY 4TH I

NDEPENDENCE DAY is a time to celebrate for most, but it can also be a stressful time for pets, their owners and local animal welfare organizations. “The week prior to and the week after July 4, we tend to see an increase in the number of [lost] dogs who come in,” says Robin Catlett, administrator for Anne Arundel County Animal Care and Control in Millersville. “Often, they’ve been spooked by fireworks.” To keep your dog safe during fireworks, be sure they can be returned home if they are lost. “We recommend pet owners microchips their pet—and ensure the chips are registered,” Catlett says. “Be sure your dog wears identification.”

Tips for a pet-safe holiday:

Be sure your pets are microchipped and that all information is registered and up to date Make sure fence gates are secure Check to make certain fences do not have any weaknesses Keep pets secured on leash and limit pets’ time outside the week before July 4th and the week after — especially when it is dark Don’t bring pets to watch firework displays or attend celebrations If your dog is crated, put them in their crate during fireworks or another safe place Play music or white noise to mask the noise of the fireworks If you have people over, make sure your dog is in a safe place in the house where they cannot bolt out the door or jump a fence if afraid If your dog is very scared, you may need to administer medication. Ask your veterinarian for recommendations. p

CHAUTAUQUA 2020: RAISING THEIR VOICES THIS SUMMER, the Chautauqua stage goes virtual as Maryland Humanities raises the voices of four notable women who took action to secure their right to vote.

SPORTING LIFE

BY DENNIS DOYLE

Summer Evenings Lure Big Bites H olding the Abu baitcaster in my left hand and running my thumb over the 20-pound mono wound tightly on its spool, I knew the new line was still shiny but I had confidence that it was barely visible in the darkening June waters under my skiff ’s hull. The reel was in free spool and there was virtually no tension on the line as I fed more yards to my baitfish, exploring the depths below. It was lightly pinioned with a 6/0 circle hook, just under its skin, an inch behind the head and alongside the dorsal. My thumb felt each surge of the bait’s movements as it tried to orient itself to its new, and suddenly vast, environment. The fish cruised comfortably below for some long minutes until eventually I could sense the panic begin to happen. Something big was approaching its vicinity and the little guy was not happy. Before neither the small spot nor I was ready, it was over. A surge of movement at the end of my line indicated that there was a new and powerful presence there. The baitfish had been consumed and its possessor was now moving off smartly. Giving it a ten count to also allow time for the striper to crush its meal then orient it to swallow, I lowered my rod tip, pointing it directly at my quar-

ry as line continued to pour off of the reel. The bait I had chosen for the evening’s task was one of four I had caught and managed into the live well not 20 minutes past, so I knew it was still spunky and full of wiggle. A lively bait is a good reason for optimism. A fish moves silently in the water to our ears, but to another fish it is making its own brand of noise. Each sweep of its tail creates a small thump of movement that can go quite a way in the briny depths. Water does not compress, even the slightest bit, any disturbance, which travels directly away in the form of a pulse. These pulses travel further and faster in water than sounds do in the air, six times faster and further. Though fish do not have eardrums, they possess a lateral, sensory line down the length of both sides of their bodies that detects the presence, distance, intensity, and direction of the water pulses and noise clicks reaching their area. That gives them a very good idea of what’s around them, where food fish might be found and an excellent idea of where dangers might lurk. All good reasons why gamefish will feel more comfortable during periods of minimum human activity. Those are just some of the reasons

why fishing at last light can prove so productive and that is exactly why I was there that evening. The rockfish at the end of my line turned out to be a seven-pounder and as healthy as they come. This time of year, the bite at very first light and then again at the end of the day can be the very best, if not the

only action. Not only do you avoid the scorching summer sun but also the crowds and their collective din, both above and below the water. In the quiet of the approaching night the presence of my tasty, four-inch spot was easily located by that crafty predator and quickly run down and captured. ‫ﵭ‬

FISHFINDER: The bite for rockfish has not improved much in the heat of summertime. The real key to finding the best action now is getting out by first or last light. Full nighttime can be excellent as well if you’re comfortable in the dark. The one rule for nighttime angling is never to go anywhere you’re not completely knowledgeable about during the day. That and being fully prepared, have all your emergency gear, radios and phone communications and someone on shore who knows your plans. Rockfish of keeper-size, though, can be found in decent numbers in the classic locations throughout the Bay. The Patapsco to Baltimore Harbor, Belvedere Shoals, Podickery Point, over to Love Point and north to Swan Point are good bet. Hacketts, Tolley and Thomas Point are also worthy locations on the Western shore and Bloody Point, Poplar Island and the Eastern Bay worth a look as well. Cruising and watching your finder will locate the richer areas to probe. Don’t join the chumming fleets these days as too many boats are willing to sit on empty water. Good live bait is getting scarce, even at the better sport stores, because the COVID-19 lockdowns have broken the supply chains so call ahead to be sure of getting some, or better yet, catch your own. Perch fishing is turning on well but look to shady areas under docks, piers and boat houses for action after 10am. Spot are scattered everywhere, many of decent size, but some areas are getting picked clean by anglers looking for live-lining baits. Croaker devotees are limiting their forays to later in the day into the evening. Crabbing is struggling along with anglers having to work hard for just a half bushel but it may pick up some in another month. Don’t waste your time working on poor runs, move until you find decent Jimmies, and don’t bother starting late. They’ll be gone.

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Chip the Sparrow W hen I was weeding my garden, a sharp, short, high-pitched sound would start each time I walked near my large winterberry bush. The closer I got to the bush, the louder and quicker the sound occurred, kind of like a Geiger counter. The origin of the sound was a common little bird aptly named the chipping sparrow. A pair of adults was protecting three youngsters. The parents started hopping around the outside of the bush to distract me. On some cue, all five flew off at once. When I am in my yard in the summer and listen to the ambient bird calls, the chipping sparrow “chipping” always seems to be the most common noise. They talk to each other constantly and frequently have little loud squabbles. These Geiger counter birds are the smallest and most slender of the local sparrows. They are the size of a goldfinch. Their tail has a distinctive Y shape, a uniformly dark brown

beak, a horizontal dark streak crosses their eyes and adult birds have a red cap on their heads. Like most sparrows, their diet is varied and includes grains and insects. Insects are on the menu mostly during nesting season. They forage on the ground and nest in low dense trees and bushes. During breeding season, they live as a family unit but afterwards they quickly form small flocks of up to a couple dozen birds. In the fall, they migrate south to the Gulf coast. In the spring they are one of the first birds to return north. They are found over the entire United States, even Alaska. Chipping sparrows are common but since 1970, the population has declined by about 35 percent. Loss of habitat is the main cause of their decline. Sparrows can be difficult to identify, especially in winter plumage or as juveniles. Chipping sparrows have a voice that is a give-away, so keep your ears open. ‫ﵭ‬

ucumbers and summer squash are staples of the summer garden. Both are members of the Cucurbitaceae family and love warm weather. Choose from young transplants or start them from seed and they will germinate in three to four days when the temperature is 80-95 degrees. Breeders have bred bush varieties of cucumbers and squash to take up less space but they are inherently vining crops. If you grow them on a trellis of netting or wire fencing, they will ultimately take up less space. Trellisgrown cucumbers are straighter, more uniform in shape, less likely to rot, be eaten by slugs and will not be missed hiding under leaves. Growing them on a trellis means better quantity and quality. Fertilize every couple of weeks with fish emulsion. Make sure to pick them before they get too big so the vine keeps producing. Cucumbers require moderate watering until flowering and then heavy watering from flowering to harvest. They like a fairly rich soil enhanced with compost, aged manure, and greensand. Be on the lookout for cucumber beetles in your garden. These pests are yellow

with black stripes or yellow with black spots. Not only do they damage the plants but they also spread a serious bacterial wilt disease. Using floating row covers over your plants while they’re growing will help to exclude the beetles. Be sure to remove the covers once the blossoms appear so the wild pollinators can do their job. If you find beetles, remove them into a container of soapy water. You can also apply beneficial nematodes in the spring to attack the larva in the soil. Adults can be controlled by spraying with neem oil soap as needed. Also introduce green lacewings, praying mantis, and ladybugs into the garden, all of which feed on cucumber beetles. When you have harvested your cucumbers, you can make cucumber raita to accompany shish kebabs or a curry dish. Combine 2/3 cup of whole milk yogurt, 1/3 cup sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 2 tablespoons minced spearmint, three medium cucumbers coarsely grated and 1 tablespoon finely grated onion. The raita plus some Basmati rice will round out a lovely meal. ‫ﵭ‬ Have a gardening question? Email editor@bayweekly.com

THE MOVIEGOER

has presidential approval: Bill Clinton screened the film in the White House twice and Donald Trump mentioned his admiration for the movie on the campaign trail. Good Action * R * 124 mins.

Celebrate the founding of our nation with films that examine the American Dream his year, we’ll all be celebrating the founding of our nation a little differently. Whether you’re trying to figure out how to grill with a mask on or how socially distant you need to be to set off fireworks, this year’s festivities are likely to be unique. Consider watching a few films that showcase what makes our nation great and the American Dream we all strive for.

DISNEY+: Hamilton Orphan Alexander Hamilton (LinManuel Miranda) arrives in New York determined to make something of himself. His brash nature and dogged work ethic soon make him a powerful figure. When the American Revolution breaks out Hamilton positions himself to help shape the new country of America. A filmed version of the blockbuster Broadway show, Hamilton brings the stage production to television. The movie will feature the Broadway cast, the full musical score (minus two Fbombs so the production could earn a PG-13 rating), and the original stripped-down settings that won the film so much acclaim. Though many people already know the lyrics by heart, the chance to see the production as it appeared on Broadway is a rare treat. If you’re a fan of Miranda’s brilliant lyrics or always dreamed of seeing the show on Broadway, this is the ultimate must-watch. And if you’re still in the mood for musical founding fathers, remember that the classic musical 1776 is available to rent on Amazon. Great Musical * PG-13 * 160 mins.

NETFLIX: Turn: Washington’s Spies The American Revolution was on shaky ground when the Founding Fathers first convinced the colonies to take up arms against Britain. English

soldiers had better training and strategy, easily besting the revolutionaries in most skirmishes. The Americans needed help, by way of inside information. Thus, the Culpepper Ring was born. A group of spies comprised mostly of farmers set out to help America win their independence. Can the group turn the tide of the war? Chances are since we’re celebrating the Fourth of July, you know that the Culpepper Ring was successful, but this 40-episode television series is a thrilling look at a largely forgotten piece of American history. The show is a master exercise in tension building, with brilliant performances from Jamie Bell and Heather Lind. If you’re looking for a grittier look at the founding of our country, Turn is an excellent choice. Good Drama * PG-13 * 60 min. episodes

PRIME: Air Force One On his way home from a diplomatic event, President James Marshall (Harrison Ford), his staff, and his family are held hostage by Kazakhstani terrorist Egor Korshunov (Gary Oldman). When Marshall evades capture, it’s up to him to foil the terrorist plot and save his family. As Marshall fights his way toward Egor, the U.S. government is in crisis: With the President compromised, is it time to use the 25th Amendment and bring the Vice President (Glenn Close) to power? What’s more American than a good old-fashioned action movie; featuring plenty of explosions, fights, and oneliners, Air Force One is a classic example of a ‘90s action movie. Director Wolfgang Petersen brings the thrills with a bombastic approach to cinematography and wisely developing tertiary characters to make each death heart-wrenching. The film even

HULU: Culture Shock (Into the Dark) Marisol (Martha Higareda) has dreamed of a better life in America since she was young. After a failed crossing and an assault leaves her pregnant and still in Mexico, Marisol is more determined than ever to realize her American Dream. When her next attempted crossing goes wrong, Marisol wakes up in Cape Joy—the picture-perfect American town. Marisol is welcomed to the community, but something’s off. People smile too much, the patriotism is a little forced, and then there’s the little fact that Marisol didn’t speak English when she came to America but now seems to be fluent. Hulu’s Into the Dark horror anthology series is a mixed bag of holidaythemed stand-alone films. But director Gigi Saul Guerrero offers a brilliant satire of the American Dream and the reality many face when coming to our country. Guerrero transforms the typical suburban dream into a nightmare, with colors that are just a touch too bright and people who are frighteningly friendly. It’s a brilliant combination of Tim Burton and David Lynch that also evokes Get Out and The Purge. If 2020 has left you ready to take a hard look at American values and systems, this might be the movie to check out.

HBO GO: Jaws As the island of Amity gears up for its tourist season, Sheriff Brody (Roy Scheider) has a problem: It seems a great white shark has turned the beach into a personal buffet. Though Brody wants to close the beaches to keep the public safe, the mayor insists on opening to save the economy. Sound familiar? When the problem doesn’t go away, Brody must put a ragtag team together to hunt down the shark before it feasts on any more tourists. Out on the open ocean, with the giant shark swimming rings around them, Brody realizes he may be outmatched. A classic Fourth of July flick, Jaws is a brilliant monster movie and a pretty good reason to skip the beach this weekend. The film was also one of the first summer blockbusters, creating a tradition of studios releasing their “big ticket” films in the summer. Jaws is also the film that put Steven Spielberg on the map. The legendary director uses clever camera tricks to keep the tension high, even when you can’t see the shark. If you’re bummed your beach weekend is canceled, give Jaws a watch and you won’t regret skipping the crowds. Great Monster Movie * PG * 124 mins.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries author Marge Piercy writes, “The people I love the best jump into work head first without dallying in the shallows.” The Aries people I love best will do just that in the coming days. Now is not the right time to wait around passively, lazily hoping that something better will come along. Nor is it prudent to procrastinate or postpone decisions while shopping around for more options or collecting more research. Dive, Aries, dive!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Calvin and Hobbes is a comic strip by Bill Watterson. It features a boy named Calvin and his stuffed tiger Hobbes. In the first panel of one story, Calvin is seated at a school desk looking perplexed as he studies a question on a test, which reads “Explain [Isaac] Newton’s First Law of Motion in your own words.” In the second panel, Calvin has a broad smile, suddenly imbued with inspiration. In the third panel, he writes his response to the test question: “Yakka foob mog. Grug pubbawup zink wattoom gazork. Chumble spuzz.” The fourth panel shows him triumphant and relaxed, proclaiming, “I love loopholes.” I propose that you use this scenario as your victorious metaphor in the coming weeks, Taurus. Look for loopholes! And use them to overcome obstacles and solve riddles.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “It is a fault to wish to be understood before we have made ourselves clear to ourselves,” wrote philosopher and activist Simone Weil. I’m hoping that this horoscope of mine can help you avoid that mistake. In the coming weeks and months, you will have a strongerthan-usual need to be seen for who you really are—to have your essential nature be appreciated and understood by people you care about. And the best way to make sure that happens is to work hard right now on seeing, appreciating, and understanding yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Some readers wish I would write more like Cormac McCarthy or Albert Camus or Raymond Chandler: with spare simplicity. They accuse me of being too lush and exuberant in my prose. They want me to use shorter sentences and fewer adjectives. To them I say: It ain’t going to happen. I have feelings similar to those of best-selling Cancerian author Oliver Sacks, who The New York Times called, “one of the great clinical writers of the 20th century.” Sacks once said, “I never use one adjective if six seem to me better and, in their cumulative effect, more incisive. I am haunted by the density of reality and try to capture this with ‘thick description.’” I bring these thoughts to your attention, my fellow Cancerian, because I think it’s important for you to be your lavish, sumptuous, complex self in the coming weeks. Don’t oversimplify yourself or dumb yourself down, either intellectually or emotionally.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Travel writer Paul Theroux has journeyed long distances by train: once from Britain to Japan and back again, and then from Massachusetts to Argentina. He also rode trains during part of his expedition from Cairo to Cape Town. Here’s one of his conclusions: “It is almost axiomatic that the worst trains take you through magical places.” I’d like to offer a milder version of that counsel as your metaphor for the coming weeks: The funky, bumpy, rickety influences will bring you the best magic.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Philosopher Miguel de Unamuno declared, “Everything that exalts and expands consciousness is good, while that which depresses and diminishes it is evil.” This idea will be intensely true for and applicable to you in the coming weeks, Virgo. It will be your sacred duty—both to yourself and to those you care about—to enlarge your understandings of how the world works and to push your awareness to become more inclusive and empathetic. What’s your vision of paradise-on-earth? Now is a good time to have fun imagining it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What do you want to be when you grow up, Libra? What’s that you say? You firmly believe you are already all grown up? I hope not! In my vision of your destiny, you will always keep evolving and transforming; you will ceaselessly transcend your existing successes and push on to accomplish further breakthroughs and victories. Now would be an excellent time to rededicate yourself to this noble aspiration. I invite you to dream and scheme about three specific wonders and marvels you would like to experience during the next five years.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has advice that would serve you well in the coming weeks. She says, “Keep a little space in your heart for the improbable. You won’t regret it.” In accordance with your astrological potentials, I’m inclined to amend her statement as follows: “Keep a sizable space in your heart for the improbable. You’ll be rewarded with catalytic revelations and intriguing opportunities.” To attract blessings in abundance, Scorpio, be willing to set aside some of your usual skepticism and urge for control.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Author Malidoma Somé lives in the U.S. now, but was born in the West African country of Burkina Faso. He writes, “In the culture of my people, the Dagara, we have no word for the supernatural. The closest we come to this concept is Yielbongura, ‘the thing that knowledge can’t eat.’ This word suggests that the life and power of certain things depend upon their resistance to the categorizing knowledge that human beings apply to everything.” I bring Somé’s thoughts to your attention, Sagittarius, because I suspect that in the com-

ing weeks, you will encounter more than the usual number of experiences that knowledge can’t eat. They might at times be a bit spooky or confounding, but will mostly be interesting and fun. I’m guessing that if you embrace them, they will liberate you from overly literal and materialistic ideas about how the world works. And that will be good for your soul.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Pioneer Capricorn scientist Isaac Newton is often hailed as one of history’s greatest geniuses. I agree that his intellectual capacities were sublime. But his emotional intelligence was sparse and feeble. During the time he taught at Cambridge University, his talks were so affectless and boring that many of his students skipped most of his classes. I’ll encourage you to make Newton your anti-role model for the next eight weeks. This time will be favorable for you to increase your mastery of three kinds of intelligence beyond the intellectual kind: feeling, intuition, and collaboration.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When future writer (and Aquarius) Charles Dickens was 12 years old, his parents and siblings got incarcerated in a debtors’ prison. To stay alive and help his family, he took a job working 12 hours a day, six days a week, pasting labels on pots of boot polish in a rotting, rat-infested warehouse. Hard times! Yet the experiences he had there later provided him with rich material for the novels that ultimately made him wealthy and beloved. In predicting that you, too, will have future success at capitalizing on difficulty, I don’t mean to imply you’ve endured or will endure anything as harsh as Dickens’ ordeal. I’m just hoping to help you appreciate the motivating power of your challenging experiences.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Maybe you feel that the ongoing pandemic has inhibited your ability to explore and deepen intimacy to the degree that would like to. But even if that’s the case, the coming weeks will provide openings that could soften and remedy your predicament. So be extra receptive and alert to the clues that life reveals to you. And call on your imagination to look for previously unguessed and unexpected ways to reinvent togetherness and tenderness. Let’s call the next three weeks your Season of Renewing Rapport. Homework: Decide on three special words that will from now on serve as magic spells for you. Keep them secret! Don’t even tell me. FreeWillAstrology.com.

Car buyer Da Tong Yang of Richmond, British Columbia, became so frustrated with his local Mercedes-Benz dealership that in January he flew to the company’s headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany, to seek help. Yang bought his wife, Guifang Huo, a brand-new S550 in 2017, partially because he believed the $155,000 car to be one of the safest vehicles available, but a year later, the couple claimed, the steering wheel locked, causing the car to nearly crash into a concrete wall. MercedesBenz said an “internal electrical issue” was at fault and assured the couple it was fixed. Yang wasn’t convinced, demanded his money back or a replacement car, then sued the company when it declined. The case has languished in court, prompting Yang’s trip to Stuttgart in early June “to find justice, not only for him but also for other drivers,” he told the Richmond News. Despite his personal appearance, litigation is still underway.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished An unnamed 66-year-old woman in Ewing, New Jersey, gave $1 to a man begging in a drugstore parking lot on June 18 and became the victim of a carjacking, according to the Associated Press. Ewing police said Tomasz Dymek, 31, of Queens, New York, “was not satisfied with the dollar, so he forced his way into the victim’s vehicle and drove from the lot, sitting on top of her in the driver’s seat.” Witnesses alerted police, who followed Dymek into Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, where the car broke down and officers arrested him.

Bright Idea Bradley Bell, head writer for The Bold and the Beautiful, told the New York Post the show is experimenting with using blowup dolls in love scenes as the daytime soap, in hiatus since March, resumed taping on June 17. Challenged to adhere to COVID-19 protocols, Bell said, “We put our heads together trying to figure out a way to make these scenes work without breaking the 8-foot (distancing) rule ... and we brought out a doll we used years ago as a corpse.” The result, he said, “was very convincing ... We’ll be using her with hair and makeup as a stand-in to match some of our leading ladies.” The show has also recruited some of the actors’ spouses as body doubles. “We’ve had stunt doubles before,” Bell said, “but this is the first time we’ve had kissing doubles.”

Least Competent, Most Ambitious Criminals • Donnovan Russell Jester, 28, of Largo, Florida, was arrested on June 18 for grand theft of a vessel—a $900,000, 46foot-long yacht. The Tampa Bay Times reported the theft took place March 20 at Thunder Marine, where Pinellas County deputies said the 2019 Jeanneau Leader was stolen and driven into four channelmarker pilings, doing about $60,000 worth of damage, before being abandoned to drift in an oyster bed. Investigators found Jester’s thumbprint on a cabin door; he was held at the Pinellas County jail on $50,000. • At 1:28 a.m. on June 20, airport air traffic control in New Smyrna Beach,

Florida, contacted police about a distress call coming from an aircraft. Officers already at the airport trying to locate a car they believed had been stolen from Daytona Beach found Robert Stienstra, 22, of DeBary, Florida, sitting in the airplane on the airport apron, according to an arrest report. Stienstra asked an officer whether he knew how to fly a plane, the report stated, then explained that he had recently purchased the aircraft (valued at $1 million) for $20,000 and needed to fly to California to take marijuana and meet his girlfriend. The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported that along with a bag of weed, Stienstra had in his possession a glass pipe with remnants of methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia. New Smyrna Beach police charged Stienstra with grand theft over $100,000; he was also wanted by Daytona Beach police on charges of grand theft of a motor vehicle.

News That Sounds Like a Joke After falling asleep following a 10-bottle beer-drinking binge, and failing to heed nature’s call for 18 hours, a 40-year-old Chinese man identified as Mr. Hu was diagnosed with a burst bladder, the New York Post reported on June 23. The man appeared at Zhuji People’s Hospital in Zhejiang, China, complaining of searing abdominal pain, and doctors discovered three tears in his bladder, one of which had caused his intestines to spill into the bladder. Mr. Hu underwent emergency surgery and was able to recover. Zhuji officials said while bladder rupture is rare, they see at least one such patient every year.

The Litigious Society The Tampa Bay Times reports that Kris Hedstrom of Odessa, Florida, filed suit against her neighbor, Heather Dayner, in late May, demanding a paternity test for the five goats she purchased from Dayner or a full refund. Hedstrom bought the five Nigerian Dwarf goats—Bella, Gigi, Rosie, Zelda and Margoat—in December, paying $900, and expected to register them with

the American Dairy Goat Association, according to the lawsuit. Registered goats have higher value than nonregistered goats. But the ADGA denied Hedstrom’s application because Dayner is not a member of the organization, and Dayner now accuses Hedstrom of trespassing on her farm and harassing her with calls to the police. “She’s been a nightmare of a neighbor,” Dayner said. Dayner plans to represent herself in court in July.

Ironic Researchers at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, have made an unexpected discovery in their study of the endangered night parrot, one of only two nocturnal parrot species in the world: It has poor night vision. The night parrot lives in Australia’s outback and differs from the other nocturnal parrot, New Zealand’s kakapo, which has lost its ability to fly, ABC reported. “The night parrot still flies, and there lies the problem of the bird running into things,” said Dr. Vera Weisbecker, which may be contributing to its decline.

Creme de la Weird Koji Ishii, 39, of Tokyo, admits his passion is sometimes more like a “curse”: He is compelled to document every lost glove he sees on the streets of his city. He photographs and records details about each one, whether they’re stuck in drains or washed up on a beach, but never touches or removes them. Over 15 years, he’s curated more than 5,000 stray gloves, including children’s mittens, heavy workingman’s gloves and lacy ladies’ accessories. “I live with the constant fear that there might be a glove right around the corner,” Ishii told AFP. He even gets off buses before his stop if he sees a glove on the ground. For him, the attraction is thinking about how the glove got there and who once wore it. “Lone gloves are a constantly changing, dynamic phenomena,” Ishii said. ‫ﵭ‬ Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.

There’s been no significant explanation for the spelling discrepancy between wisteria and Wistaria.
