Getaways Close to Home: Changing Our Approach to Travel “A change would do you good,” Sheryl Crow sang in 1997. For many of us who have stayed close to home since the start of the pandemic, that pop refrain rings true.

didn’t know just how much I missed traveling until we took our first overnight trip this year, to North Ocean City back in June. The two-and-a-half-hour drive that usually feels like a drag (a line of brake lights at the Bay Bridge, so many boring cornfields…) felt suddenly magical. The wide-open blue sky! The way the sun shone on farm irrigation systems we passed! Historic churches, produce stands! And that was all before we even reached the beach. It didn’t take plane tickets, a nice resort, or 10 hours in the car to feel like we were “getting away.” Crossing the Chesapeake Bay to a fresh set of sights and sounds did the trick. This summer, a lot of Marylanders are looking for new experiences close to home given the uncertainty of flying, gathering with out-oftown family, and spending time in potentially high-risk states.

CONTENTS BAY BULLETIN

That’s why we at Bay Weekly were inspired to come up with less obvious vacation destinations that will take you no more than two hours to reach. For this week’s issue, we looked to the CBM team to crowdsource creative trips. In our cover story, Krista Pfunder dreams up an eagle-watching, picnicking, garden-strolling trip to Pennsylvania that I want to sign up for immediately. Susan Nolan, a history lover, digs up some surprising finds in Maryland’s first capital city of St. Mary’s. Jill BeVier Allen, who just invested in a camper, is setting her sights on places to explore by RV. CBM boat cruising guru Capt. Jody Argo Schroath shares a luxurious boating itinerary on Herring Bay (a sneak peek of next month’s CBM Weekends on the Water special edition). And Kathy Knotts recounts a trip out west (not THAT far “out west,” just to Frederick County) that she took with her own family this summer. Truth be told, some of my favorite vacation memories in recent years have been just this kind of trip. With two squirmy toddlers under our care, the thought of long plane rides or distant locales didn’t hold much appeal for my

husband and me even before the coronavirus. In addition to the aforementioned Ocean City trips, we’ve spent a couple of long weekends near Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, in recent years. Our tactic is to choose Airbnb rentals that offer an experience in themselves: in 2018 we stayed in a cottage on the premises of Caprikorn Goat Farm, with goats, pigs and a large sheepdog to greet us every morning. The kids liked it so much that in 2019 we found a Virginia farm raising llamas, sheep, and holding farmhouse weddings to host us. Both trips were a two-hour drive from home—manageable even for high-energy little boys demanding to stop and stretch their legs every 30 minutes. We hope that the ideas in Bay Weekly will help you find a new way to vacation within the comfort of the Chesapeake watershed. You may not realize it yet, but a change could do you good. p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

$1 BILLION SALMON FARMING INDUSTRY TO LAUNCH ON MD. EASTERN SHORE

omething big is coming to Maryland’s Eastern Shore, in the form of a 26acre building filled with 500,000-gallon tanks. Inside the tanks, farm-raised Atlantic salmon will be harvested for sale across the United States. A new partnership between Norwegian aquaculture company Aquacon AS and the University of Maryland Baltimore County’s Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology (IMET) will bring an entirely new industry to Maryland’s Eastern Shore: land-based salmon farms, in which the operation is entirely inside a massive warehouse where fish are grown with virtually zero waste. The collaboration includes three phases of Eastern Shore facilities for an estimated $1 billion new industry. Each one comes with a $300 million investment. The first of the three facilities is to be built beginning in 2021 in Federalsburg, Caroline County, along Marshyhope Creek. The facility, roughly the size of 34 football fields, will use cutting-edge green technology developed by Dr. Yonathan Zohar, Director of Aquaculture Research, and his colleagues at IMET. The fish will be grown in tanks filled with “instant seawater” manufactured to exact specifications. Dr. Zohar tells Bay Bulletin the water is recycled, cooled and reused with almost zero

discharge (and they mean almost zero: AquaCon says 99.994 percent of the operation’s water will be reused). But what about the waste? Dr. Zohar explains that tiny microbes from the marine environment remove dissolved waste from the water, working as beneficial microorganisms. And the solid waste (sludge) created during salmon farming will be converted into energy in the form of fuel-grade methane. That helps offset operations costs at the facility, as will solar panels that cover the entire roof of the huge warehouse. The concept of a contained salmon farming operation that won’t hurt the local environment (in this case, a Chesapeake Bay ecosystem), seems like a no-brainer compared to traditional floating net pens that release waste into waterways. The controlled environment also allows salmon to grow to market size more quickly, without pathogens, pollutants or heavy metals. AquaCon CEO Paal Haldorsen tells Bay Bulletin it is “by far the most green salmon aquaculture plant built…focused on sustainability, salmon welfare and low [carbon] footprint.” AquaCon couldn’t launch the project without Dr. Zohar’s 40 years studying aquaculture, including 20 years running research and development on land-based fish farming systems.

4 • BAY WEEKLY • July 16 - July 23, 2020

Maryland’s Eastern Shore was chosen for the operation site, in part, because of its proximity to IMET (located across from the National Aquarium at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor). The Eastern Shore also made a great choice, Zohar points out, because of its deep ties with the seafood industry. “Maryland is very open to aquaculture.” AquaCon hasn’t finalized locations of the two remaining Eastern Shore facilities, but the company says it is looking closely at Cambridge. The region will see hundreds of new jobs, both at the large facilities themselves and within processing operations that will need to be located nearby. AquaCon estimates it can support 500 jobs when all three facilities are up and running at full production. The positive economic impact extends to the national economy, too. Currently, the U.S. imports 95 percent of its salmon from countries like Norway and Chile, to the tune of $3.4 billion. The AquaCon operation will produce an estimated 50,000 metric tons of salmon each year between all three facilities. AquaCon says there are still several steps between now and the start of construction, but Haldorsen doesn’t see “any hurdles that will hinder the project.” “Our communication with both local and state authorities is close and constructive. We are in process with the various permit applications with a planned construction start in the second quarter of 2021.” —MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

BAY GRASSES DECLINE, LOWER BAY HIT HARDEST

fter six years of increases in underwater grasses Baywide, the Chesapeake Bay Program’s latest data shows discouraging results. This week, the partnership released its annual Baywide survey of underwater grasses (submerged aquatic vegetation, or SAV), showing a reduction from a total of 108,761 acres in 2018 to 66,387 acres in 2019. In the six years prior, Bay grasses rose to finally exceed 100,000 acres in 2017 for the first time since the survey began in 1984. The ultimate goal for SAV restoration is 185,000 acres. The 2019 number is certainly disappointing, but as usual, the Chesapeake doesn’t give us simple answers. Much of the blame goes to the record-breaking rainfall the Bay watershed received in 2018 and the first half of 2019, which created multiple stresses on grass beds from the Susquehanna Flats to the Virginia Capes. The diverse beds in the upper Bay and rivers actually weathered the high river flows well, but the beds of eelgrass and widgeongrass in the saltier lower Bay declined dramatically, especially around Smith and Tangier Islands. “Underwater grasses are flowering plants that need more light than any other plants on Earth,” says Dr. Robert “JJ” Orth, the longtime grasses scientist at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). As they do in the rest of Earth’s shallow waters, the 15 or so species in the Chesapeake form under-

BAY BULLETIN

Underwater grasses from the Susquehanna Flats near Havre de Grace. Photo: Will Parson water prairies that provide essential habitat for many Bay critters, from blue crabs, rockfish, and wintering tundra swans to the tiny crustaceans that supply the lower levels of their food webs. But for more than a century, these plants have had to deal with reduced light from nutrient-pollution-fueled algae blooms and sediment runoff from human activities. Now, rapidly oscillating salinities and turbidity from “pulse events” (unusually intense storms), and rising water temperatures are adding extra stress. “Climate change is real,” says Dr. Orth. High salinity creates challenges for most underwater grasses species. Thus it’s no surprise that beds in the lower Bay grow only two species, eelgrass and widgeongrass, while the Susquehanna Flats and the Potomac River around Washington, DC have a dozen or more, and an intermediate river like the Severn above Annapolis has six or seven. The diverse communities are more stable, as different species peak under varying conditions. In the lower Bay, widgeongrass is a boom-and-bust species that has a history of exploding and then declining, so it may well rebound in this year’s more normal circumstances. Though it lives well in a broad range of salinities, it does not handle the stress of rapid fluctuations well, notes Brooke Landry, Natural Resource Biologist at Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources and Chair of the Chesapeake Bay Program’s SAV Workgroup. Meanwhile, eelgrass is near the southern limit of its range in the Chesapeake, so rising temperatures in summer cause extra stress, as do pulses of fresher water. “As long as eelgrass has light, it can deal with increasing temperature,” says JJ Orth, as he has found in a remarkable restoration project in Virginia’s shallow seaside Eastern Shore coastal bays. But turbidity from sediments and nutrients make its life difficult in the Chesapeake. Orth and Landry both see the strength of the upper Bay and river beds as a sign that the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint’s long-term reductions of nutrients and sediment are making a real difference in restoring the system. The challenge will be to keep the effort going through our changing climate. —JOHN PAGE WILLIAMS

Shomette Book Wins Brewington Prize BY KRISTA PFUNDER

outhern Maryland author Donald Grady Shomette receives a statewide honor for his 2019 book recounting Civil War happenings on land and in the water. The Maryland Historical Society has tapped Anaconda’s Tail: The Civil War on the Potomac Frontier, 1861-1865 for its 2020 Brewington Book Prize. The “tail” in the title refers to the image featured on the cover of the book, illustrating the blockade of the South in the form of a curled anaconda, the tail of which lies in the Chesapeake Tidewater. “Shomette has woven a narrative of regional resistance, racism, and the

Fairfax County and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis in 2017. She is assigned to the Redhawks of Training Squadron 21 in Kingsville, Texas. Naval Air Station Kingsville is designated for undergraduate jet/strike pilot training. As a tactical air pilot, Swegel will be cleared to fly aircraft like the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, the F-35C Joint Strike Fighter or the EA18G Growler. The Naval Academy Superintendent calls LTJG Swegle’s accomplishment a milestone “not just in her own personal career as an aviator but also for Naval

aviation.” “It is a significant achievement to qualify as a tactical jet pilot flying from our nation’s carriers day and night, and her success serves as an inspiration for all who aspire to be naval aviators. Fly Navy!” says U.S. Naval Academy Superintendent Vice Adm. Sean S. Buck. Navy Rear Adm. Paula Dunn, the Navy’s vice chief of information, also offered praise for Swegle on Twitter, encouraging her to “go forth and kick butt.”

brutal military occupation of Southern Maryland,” says Dr. Edward C. Papenfuse, retired Maryland State Archivist and member of MdHS. “This struggle was a part of everyday life for these citizens. The book covers the attempted escape of John Wilkes Booth...not the usual fare of a maritime book but the water figures in because it melds almost seamlessly into the land in Tidewater Maryland,” says Karl Kirkman, retired Naval Architect and member of the Maritime Committee of the Historical Society. Shomette is a maritime historian who has authored more than 18 books. This one, despite being based in history, is timely.

“His book gives insight into the terrible consequences of a sharply divided state and nation. While the details are starkly different, it has a decidedly familiar ring in today’s world,” says Papenfuse. The Brewington Book Prize has been awarded annually since 2016 to what the society considers to be the best book on maritime history related to the Chesapeake Bay or the nation. The prize is named for Marion V. Brewington, a maritime curator and historian from Salisbury. During World War II, he was curator for the U.S. Navy. “Maritime in Maryland is more than ships; it embraces watermen and their daily life as well as the yachtsmen who race historic log canoes,” Kirkman says. “If there is one thing that was noteworthy about this book it is that the author took a broad view and blended land and water activities, but all related to the Tidewater area.” The Maryland Historical Society has been collecting, preserving and interpreting the history, art and culture of Maryland since 1844.

-year-old Bowen’s Grocery is changing hands from one wellknown local family to another. The Bowen family is selling its Huntingtown grocery store to the Gotts. “The Bowens approached us out of the blue about six months ago,” says Johnny Gott, president of the Gott Company. “They wanted the right person to come in and buy the business.” Opened in 1929 by Frederick and Frances Mogck, the grocery store first went by the name Mogck’s. Grandson Gordon Bowen eventually became the owner, along with wife Gracie, in 1964 and changed the name to Bowen’s. Considered a Southern Maryland landmark, the grocery store is famous for homemade soups, salads, sandwiches and meats. Daily specials include baked turkey, homemade meatloaf, country THE NEW MURAL of Carlester Smith, Annapolis’ Walking Man, was completed last weekend. The public artwork now graces the side of Pinkey’s on West Street. The mural (featured in our June 25 issue) was designed by Annapolis artist Comacell Brown Jr. and painted as a group effort by Dee Ward, Jamison Scott, Moe Taylor, Luther Wright, Katisha Smittick, Letia Smith, Brian White and Kevin Lebling.

Eat Well. Live Better. Go Organic.

Bowen’s Grocery in Huntingtown opened in 1929. Gordon and Gracie Bowen bought the store in 1964. Photos courtesy Bowen’s Grocery fried chicken, steak and roast beef. Freshly ground chuck, steaks and stuffed pork chops as well as homemade country sausage—not to mention fresh oysters in season and fresh crabmeat—have made Bowen’s a popular stop for many local appetites. The store is a valued part of the Huntingtown community. The bigger-thanlife model of a bull that sits atop the building was once stolen and found nine months later on the roof of a high school in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. Bowen’s chicken salad made CBM Bay Weekly’s list of best local holiday gifts one winter. Reader Connie Dargo shared that it was her go-to gift for her hard-toplease 90-year-old grandmother, putting a pint jar of the salad on her Christmas shopping list every year for Granny. The Gott Company is a name familiar to customers of Bowen’s Grocery and throughout Calvert County.

“We’ve supplied the gas to Bowen’s for the last 20 years,” Gott says. The Gott Company was first in the heating oil company and later expanded into the propane business. The company also owns Q-Dog Quality Discount Oil and Gas and operates a chain of Fastop Convenience stores. “We’ve been in business in Calvert for 75 years,” Gott says. “We’ve always kept the old-style values we inherited,” says Gordon Bowen. The new owners plan on doing the same. “We are planning on retaining as much as we can and keeping all the same people,” Gott says, although the famous rooftop cow has also retired with the Bowen family. Gott does have one tasty addition planned. “We will immediately begin offering the fried chicken we have in our Fastop stores in Bowen’s,” he said. The store is expected to officially change hands the first week in August. p

ACATION PLANS scrapped this summer? You aren’t alone. Travel is a tricky affair as international flights are grounded, cruise

ships sit empty at the dock, and beach vacations come with possible crowd risks. But you needn’t wander too far from home to get your travel fix. Bay Weekly offers a few ideas to inspire close-to-home getaways—both day trips and overnight stays. As with all things during the pandemic, check venues before you go, and bring a face mask along with a sense of (safe) adventure.

EAGLES, GARDENS AND PICNICS

scenic drive bookended by outdoor stops to enjoy nature is the perfect social-distanced day (or overnight) trip. If you plug Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Penn. into your navigation system, you will likely be routed via I-95N. We suggest a slightly longer, scenic route with a few stops along the way. Instead of I-95, take Route 1 and stop by the Conowingo Dam on the lower Susquehanna River in Darlington. Do it, not just to see one of the largest hydroelectric dams in the country, but to try to spot the bald eagles that fish there. Fisherman’s Park, overlooking the dam, features sweeping views of the Susquehanna and the dam. The area is a nesting site for the eagles and photographers flock there looking to capture the birds in flight. There’s also a fishing

pier and walking trails. Open to visitors daily from 5am to one hour after dusk, the park requires masks and social distancing. Bring a picnic or stop at the popular Cannella’s Deli in Perry Hall to pick up a sandwich to enjoy at one of the picnic tables (www.cannellas-deli.com). Once you’ve taken in the sites at Fisherman’s Park, continue about 40 minutes north on Rt. 1 to Longwood Gardens. This 1,077-acre botanical garden is filled with gardens, woodlands, meadows and a four-acre conservatory. The conservatory is currently open and there are 400 acres of outdoor gardens and fountains ready for guests to explore. “Very little is different at Longwood,” says Patricia Evans, Longwood’s director of communications, when asked what’s changed since COVID-19. “Some of our indoor spaces are closed, such as our indoor children’s garden, music room and our outdoor picnic area.” “Our 30-minute illuminated fountain performances set to music are returning at 9:15 pm on Friday and Saturday evenings,” Evans says. “On the horticulture side, our waterlily display is a must-see as well as the

Flower Garden Walk brimming with colorful annuals and perennials.” Longwood offers picnic totes in two sizes for purchase (pre-order only). A snack picnic tote serves 2-4 and features cheeses, crackers, fruit, chicken salad, hummus, chocolates, water and lemonade. The family picnic tote is a little more substantial, and there is also a couples’ picnic tote with wine, cheeses, crackers, a baguette, macaroons and more. Longwood is open FSa 10am-10pm, Su-Th (closed Tu) 10am-6pm, $25 w/discounts: https:// longwoodgardens.org/. “We have limited capacities, so guests should buy tickets ahead of time online to ensure availability,” Evans says. Consider staying overnight to visit Longwood Gardens over two days— you won’t see the same spot twice. Try the Hilton Garden Inn Kennett Square (www.hilton.com), The Inn at Montchanin Village & Spa (www.montchanin. com) or Brandywine River Hotel (www. brandywineriverhotel.com). Save time for a trip to Two Stones Pub (www.twostonespub.com) down the street, which has some of the best wings we’ve ever tasted—and offers a well-regarded Sunday brunch. — KRISTA PFUNDER

HERRING BAY BY BOAT

MOUNTAINS & WILDLIFE IN FREDERICK COUNTY

ooking for a great getaway by boat? Point yourself toward Herring Bay on the western shore of the Bay, between the West and Patuxent rivers. Chesapeake Bay Magazine’s Cruising Editor Jody Argo Schroath highlights this area among the many in the magazine’s Weekends on the Water, coming out in August. Rockhold Creek is home to Herrington Harbor North, half of one of the largest and most luxurious marinas on the Bay, and home to the Bay’s largest collection of skilled marine contractors. Herrington North even has its own West Marine. The other half of Herrington Harbor, by the way, is located at the bottom end of Herring Bay. Rockhold Creek is lined with marinas large and small, fancy and down-home, along with a couple of very popular dock bars and a large fleet of charter fishing boats, many of which cleverly make their home at one of those very popular dock bars. So why are we sure you’ll want to visit Herring Bay and the little town of Deale? Because you can fish some of the Bay’s best waters, either on your own boat or with one of the charters. You can spend the weekend relaxing at one of Herring Bay’s marinas, The Inn at Herrington Harbour (South) or Hidden Harbor’s Anchored Inn, sampling seafood and meeting a whole new set of soon-to-be friends. Or as Shipwright Harbor’s Jed Dickman puts it, “It’s a wonderful, ideally located spot, where you can find everything you could possibly want.” — JODY ARGO SCHROATH

ooking to get away from the heat? If a night spent under the stars in a tent appeals to you, state and national parks are plentiful within a day’s drive of Chesapeake Country. In less than two hours, you can be swimming in a lake, hiking to a waterfall or just enjoying the great outdoors in Frederick County. Surrounded by the beautiful Catoctin Mountains, Cunningham Falls State Park is home to Maryland’s highCunningham Falls State Park. Photo Courtesy of Visit Frederick

SPORTING LIFE

BY DENNIS DOYLE

The Last Crabbing Trip for a Smith Islander I t started with a conversation with neighbor and fellow angling fanatic, Frank Tuma. Captain Frank is also a charter boat skipper (Downtime Charters) and during our exchange he happened to mention that his next day’s party was booked by an old timer, a Smith Island native, who was going out for his last crabbing trip. Intrigued, I finagled an invitation to go along as the photographer. Meeting up with the family the next day on board the Downtime, I soon got to know the merry party of four and we began to trade stories including those of the earlier days on the Tidewater. It turned out that Smith Islander, John Holmes, born in the mid-40s, qualified the statement about this being his last crabbing voyage, declaring “Well, it may not exactly be my last, but I’m worried that it just might be getting close.” He had enlisted his son, Steve Kipton, and Steve’s two sons, Holden, 14, and Brodie, 12, as the netting crew. The day had dawned nicely in the mid-70s with a solid overcast and a mild breeze. Although the cloud cover would make sighting the crabs difficult as they came near the surface on Frank’s trot line, it also kept them active the whole of the morning.

We needed that presence because the Jimmies were also quite skittish, and though plentiful, they spooked off the line at the slightest disturbance, making netting a dicey affair. Of course, that made for a lively blame game and numerous chances for the young boys to go from a claim of champion crab netter to the bottom of that ladder in just a few fruitless swipes of the net. When I jokingly asked the youngest, Brodie, if he had been named for the sheriff in the movie, Jaws, it turned out, surprisingly, that his father admitted to just that. After affirming that Jaws was his favorite movie, Steve further admitted that Holden, his oldest, was named for Holden Caufield, the protagonist of Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. At that point it seemed proper to congratulate dad for his literary bent in family names. Jaws, after all, had also been a best-selling novel by Peter Benchley, before Spielberg’s movie. When we discussed John’s earlier life on Smith Island, it turned out that though most of his cousins had faithfully remained there, John’s immediate family had left the historic Maryland location quite some time ago for a life in Red Lion, Pennsylvania, a

John Holmes, a Smith Island native landlocked location near Harrisburg and quite some distance from the isle where he was born. Red Lion, named for the popular pub in the center of town, was an employment draw for many rural citizens from both Pennsylvania and Maryland. Hosting a thriving cigar industry that later morphed into a furniture and cabinet manufacturing center, the city has steadily grown ever since. John’s mom, while in Smith Island, had little affection, and later, even less nostalgia for the Tidewater life, far preferring beef and chicken to the

vast quantities of fish and shellfish that had tormented her on the isle. John also recalled that he might have been the only Smith Island native who had never owned a boat. Unlike his mom, however, John did miss the savory blue crabs that were so prominent there and has often revisited the Chesapeake area for just that reason. While we ran the crab line and the basket grew ever heavier his eyes misted as he spoke of just how to cook them and how sweet and delicious they were. I couldn’t have agreed more. p

FISHFINDER: The rockfish bite remains exceptionally difficult from the Chester to the South River with better success being found north above Swan Point or south into the Solomon Islands and Chesapeake Beach areas. The stark absence of striped bass this season in the waters between cannot be explained, though the continual commercial netting of thousands upon thousands of pounds of rockfish from the overwintering schools from that very area is suspected by many. White perch are the sole salvation for many local anglers this season and while they are mostly under nine inches, they are plentiful. Croaker are unusually numerous though of sub-legal size and some nice sized spot are scattered just about everywhere. Crabbing continues to be mediocre but the Jimmies remain delicious. Try in the five- to sevenfoot depths over mud bottom.

STORY AND PHOTO BY MARIA PRICE

Grow Your Own Herbs for Flavor, Health and Wellness n herb is any plant that is considered of use to humans for flavoring food, making beverages, creating fragrances, or medicinal use. With so many uses, the study and growing of herbs is multifaceted. Fresh herbs in particular will add flavor and extra nutrients to your cuisine. There’s nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than a cool tabbouleh salad made with fresh parsley and spearmint. If you have digestive issues or an intense day try some chamomile tea in the evening to calm your mind. All of these herbs can be easily grown. Turn over soil in a well-drained area that gets about five to six hours of sun. Amend the soil with compost and dolomitic lime if it hasn’t been added previously. Many common herbs are Mediterranean and require a limey soil. Most herbs can be purchased from local nurseries and started from seed. If pots are your only option, use a soil-less media for good drainage. One of my favorite herbs is lavender. English lavender, Lavandula angustifolia, is actually a native Mediterranean herb that grows in rocky calcareous cliffs. It requires very good drainage and lime in the soil. Growing different cultivars will extend the blooming season. It’s good to grow your culinary herbs close to your kitchen door so you can access them easily when cooking. Complicated recipes are not necessary if you are using herbs in cooking. Experiment with different flavors. Chives have beautiful pink blossoms and are great on plain buttered new

A Very Common Colorful Butterfly I n my yard, coneflowers are blooming, catching the attention of many bumblebees but only a few butterflies. It may be too early in the summer for butterflies but I was expecting more. One of the only butterflies currently feeding on the flowers was a painted lady. The name is a bit unusual, but it is also known as the cosmopolitan or the thistle butterfly, describing its favorite flower. The name painted lady describes the colors and designs on the wings, like bright make-up. Their wings have eyes that seem to wear eye shadow and there are blotches of rouge-like pinkish red. The painted lady is one of the most widely dispersed butterflies in the world. They can have six generations in the course of a year. In a good year, their population could explode. The main reason they are so common is that the painted lady caterpillars are not picky about what plant

they feed on. Over 300 plants are tasty to the small spiky bugs, thistle being its favorite. The caterpillars have huge appetites and develop into a silkcovered chrysalis and then a butterfly fairly quickly. The butterflies are gregarious and can be seen flying in large groups. In fact, when there is a population explosion of painted ladies, large migrations can occur. Every few years migrations of millions of butterflies have been recorded from northern Africa and the Mediterranean coast flying into Northern Europe, and from southern Mexico north into California. These migrations are similar to that of the monarch butterfly but unlike the monarch, the painted lady’s migrations are not required for survival of the species.

potatoes. Roast potatoes with olive oil, rosemary and a little lemon juice for a great treat. Chunks of watermelon mixed with feta cheese and fresh spearmint is a refreshing summer salad. Pesto made with basil makes an easy summer pasta meal. Decide what herbs you like and grow them together, for example, dill, mint and parsley are a traditional blend used in a lot of Greek cuisine. Try growing them together. Use perennial herbs to make the framework of your herb garden and fill in with annual herbs. You can also design a tea garden with colorful bee balms that come in red, pink, purple and white. Lemon balm with its mild lemon flavor and chamomile with its sweet apple scent are great herbs for tea. All of these herbs possess antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. ‫ﵭ‬

THE PLAYGOER

BY JIM REITER

The Talent Machine’s cast presents Willy Wonka: The Musical outdoors at the Anne Arundel Fairgrounds.

A Sweet Ride Into Imagination The Talent Machine Presents Willy Wonka

o you have a golden ticket yet? Live theater returns this weekend as The Talent Machine presents Willy Wonka, the Musical, July 17-26 at the Anne Arundel County Fairgrounds pavilion. The show is based on the 1971 Gene Wilder movie adaptation of Ronald Dahl’s book, in which candy-maker Willy Wonka stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in his candy bars, offering the finders a lifetime of sweets and a tour of his secret factory. Among the winners is Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour with his grandfather. While on the tour, the children learn they must follow Wonka’s rules or suffer the life-altering consequences. To ensure social distancing, says producer Judy Curbelo, only 100 tickets will be sold for each of the nine shows, and audience members will be required to wear face masks. Staff will set up chairs according to sales. “We’ll assume that, for example, a party of four will be OK seated as a cluster, but apart from other parties,” she noted, adding that rain shouldn’t be a problem because all seats will be under the

facility’s overhang. The audience won’t be the only ones wearing masks; the 34-member cast, made up of actors 7-14 years old, will wear clear plastic face shields and keep their distance from each other as well, “to protect the audience and the kids,” says director Katie Peacock. Leading a show in the time of COVID-19 “has been a learning process every step of the way,” she said, with auditions and early rehearsals held virtually. Thirteen-year-old Darby Carroll plays Charlie Bucket, and Peacock says the fact that she’s a girl won’t matter to the audience. “We auditioned boys and girls for the role,

and she really stood out.” Darby, a Bates Middle School student who has done a dozen shows with The Talent Machine since she was 7, says wearing a face shield to sing and act “is certainly a new experience for me. We can’t hug or high five, and I think ‘what am I going to do, these are my friends?’” But the challenges of performing under extraordinary circumstances, she says, makes her feel “like we’re all bonded by the same experience.” And playing Charlie is especially meaningful these days because “he’s very positive and optimistic.”

SUPPORT COMMUNITY THEATER TWO ALL-VOLUNTEER Annapolis community theaters are part of a virtual fundraising telethon aimed at helping theaters around the region recover after COVID-19 shut down local shows. Annapolis Summer Garden Theater and Colonial Players are among the 14 theaters taking part in the Community Theatre Thrives telethon, featuring performances and messages from prominent members of the theatre community. The event takes place at https://theatrethrives.org and on YouTube beginning at 6:30pm July 17 and all day July 18. Donations will be accepted online and by phone at 833-615-0922.

While Jackson Parlante, who plays Grandpa Joe, is only a year older than Carroll, “he’s taller than me so that helps me visualize it,” she says. Parlante, who heads to Crofton High School in the fall and a veteran of eight TMC shows, said, “if the cost of performing live is putting a mask, I’ll always do that over a virtual performance or no performance at all. The show must go on!” p Willy Wonka, The Musical runs July 17-26, FSaMTh 7:30pm, Su 2pm (& 6:30pm July 19 only), $15, RSVP: https://talentmachine. com/shows/summer-youth-show/.

EDGEWATER’S

CRABBING & FISHING SUPPLY HEADQUARTERS Charlize Theron in The Old Guard

The Old Guard

A group of immortals fight to save humanity from itself in this pensive action flick

hat would you do if you had all the time in the world? Andy (Charlize Theron: Bombshell) chooses to fight. A warrior in Ancient Greece, one day she discovered that she couldn’t die. Alone at first, Andy wanders from battle to battle, sustaining horrible wounds but getting back up. It isn’t until she meets another immortal that she finds her purpose—to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves. She spends centuries assembling a team of immortal beings, all dedicated to fighting the good fight throughout history. The team, comprised of former crusaders Joe (Marwan Kenzari: Aladdin) and Nicky (Luca Marinelli: Martin Eden) as well as Napoleonic soldier Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts: The Laundromat), marches from one global conflict to another, doing their best to minimize the grim toll war takes. But Andy is growing weary of her quest. After over a millennia of fighting, she’s yet to see any improvement in humanity. People are still greedy, violent, and cruel. Andy isn’t sure why she bothers trying to save anyone anymore. While Andy is wavering in her mission, a new immortal comes into the world. Nile (Kiki Layne: Captive State) is a U.S. Marine killed in combat, or

so her platoon thinks. When her neck miraculously knits back together and her pulse resumes, her fellow soldiers are terrified. She’s about to be transferred to a medical lab for a lifetime of testing when Andy recruits her to the team. Violent, snappy, and surprisingly pensive, The Old Guard is a superhero story with more pathos than pyrotechnics. Director Gina Prince-Bythewood (Beyond the Lights) makes her action debut by wisely drawing on her drama background. The characters in The Old Guard aren’t glossy superheroes, they’re world-weary—literally. They’ve lost their families, lovers, and friends as they fight an unending battle to make the world a better place. It’s this sense of fatigue that gives the characters a humanity that is often lacking in films based on comics. Prince-Bythewood also offers an assured first stab at action sequences. Forgoing the usual CGI-type battles, she instead opts for a John Wick-style of action, using protracted person-to-person combat scenes. Theron spins and twists her way across the screen as she lays waste to foes. Theron is in her element, showing off in big fight scenes and offering genuinely funny tender moments as Andy indoctrinates Nile into the crew. Theron has a knack for hand-to-hand

combat stunts, and it’s a treat to watch her swing a battle axe through countless baddies. She’s got both the style and the attitude for an action hero, and it’s always nice to see a woman leading a team of soldiers instead of posing in skin-tight leather while the boys have all the fun. The other surprise of the film is the hilarious and sweet relationship between Joe and Nicky. The two killed each other during the Crusades, only to come back to life and begin dating. Their relationship has spanned the centuries and both Kenzari and Marinelli imbue it with a sense of lived-in affection that makes the duo’s romance feel real. These are men who’ve seen it all, but still find something to marvel at; in many ways their love is what keeps them from becoming as jaded as Andy and Booker. Though the film is refreshing in an era of candy-colored over-produced comic book films, it isn’t without its flaws. The villain is a cookie cutter baddie who doesn’t manage to either menace or interest. Chiwetel Ejiofor’s character seems to only exist to set up a sequel, which is a shame considering the caliber of actor being wasted. Still, a quality story, solid lead performances and some nifty hand-to-hand fights make up for a few scripting errors. If you’re looking for a film that delves deep with character development and offers some action fun to lighten the mood, check out The Old Guard on Netflix. It may not make you immortal, but it’s a pretty fun way to spend a few hours. Good Action * R * 125 mins.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZNY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “If the time is not ripe, we have to ripen the time,” wrote Aries educator and activist Dorothy Height. This approach worked well during her 98 years on the planet. Her pioneering advocacy for African American women generated a number of practical improvements in their employment opportunities and civil rights. In accordance with the current astrological omens, Aries, I highly recommend her guiding principle for your use. You now have the power to ripen the time, even if no one else believes the time is ripe.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Whatever inspiration is, it’s born from a continuous ‘I don’t know.’” A wise and talented woman said that: Nobel Prizewinning poet Wisława Szymborska. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it’s excellent advice for you to embrace during the coming weeks. You’re close to finding and accessing a mother lode of inspiration, and one of the best ways to ensure that happens in an optimal way is to make “I don’t know” your mantra. In other words, be cheerfully devoted to shedding your certainties. Lose your attachment to the beliefs and theories you tend to overly rely on. Make yourself as empty and clear and spacious as you possibly can.

important things that are invisible to others.

determination to be true to yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Time can turn a scab into a beauty mark,” said actor and screenwriter Nia Vardalos. That’s a rousingly poetic speculation—and more metaphorically true than literally. But I suspect that if it ever might have a useful and meaningful application to an actual human struggle, it will be yours in the coming months. In my view, you are in fact capable of harnessing the magic necessary to transform a wound into a lovely asset. Be bold and imaginative as you carry out this seemingly improbable feat—which is actually not improbable.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Would you like to boost your mental and physical health in the coming weeks? Try this: Immerse yourself in the understanding that you’re interconnected with everything in the world. Tell yourself stories about how the atoms that compose your body have previously been part of many other things. This isn’t just a poetic metaphor; it’s scientific fact. Now study this passage by science writer Ella Frances Sanders: “The carbon inside you could have existed in any number of creatures or natural disasters before finding you. That particular atom residing somewhere above your left eyebrow? It could well have been a smooth riverbed pebble before deciding to call you home. You are rock and wave and the peeling bark of trees, you are ladybirds and the smell of a garden after the rain.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini-born author Djuna Barnes (1892–1982) was a world traveler who wrote in several different genres, ranging from lesbian fiction to essays on boxing to plays that used poetic language. She was experimental and empirical and experiential. On one occasion, she voluntarily submitted to the forcefeeding endured by hunger-striking suffragists so she could write about what it was like to be tortured. Another fun fact about Djuna: Every morning, she did up her hair and put her make-up on, then climbed into bed and wrote for many hours. In the coming weeks, Gemini, I recommend you draw inspiration from every aspect of her life— except the torture part, of course. The coming weeks will be a fine time to be versatile, exploratory, and committed to expressing yourself purely in whatever ways make you comfortably excited.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s a favorable time to celebrate the fantastic privilege of being alive. Are you willing to believe that? Will you cooperate with my intention to nudge you in the direction of elation and exaltation? Are you open to the possibility that miracles and epiphanies may be at hand for you personally? To help get yourself in the proper mood, read this passage by Libran author Diane Ackerman: “The great affair, the love affair with life, is to live as variously as possible, to groom one’s curiosity like a high-spirited thoroughbred, climb aboard, and gallop over the thick, sunstruck hills every day.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): As a Cancerian, you have a natural propensity to study and understand what author Margaret Atwood describes as “echoes and emptiness and shadow.” I believe this aspect of your repertoire will be especially active and available to you in the coming weeks. For best results, regard your attunement to these echoes and emptiness and shadow as an asset, even a precious talent. Use it to discern what’s missing or lost but could be recovered. Invoke it to help you navigate your way through murky or confusing situations. Call on it to help you see

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): ‘“Deciding to remember, and what to remember, is how we decide who we are,” writes poet Robert Pinsky. That’s useful counsel for you right now, Scorpio. You’re entering a phase when you can substantially reframe your life story so that it serves you better. And one of the smartest ways to do that is to take an inventory of the memories you want to emphasize versus the memories you’d like to minimize. Another good trick is to reinterpret challenging past events so that you can focus on how they strengthened you and mobilized your

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “A person must dream a long time in order to act with grandeur,” wrote Sagittarian author and activist Jean Genet. “And dreaming is nursed in darkness.” According to my analysis of your astrological omens, this is an apt description of what has been unfolding for you, Sagittarius— and will continue to play out for you in the next two weeks. If you’re aligned with cosmic rhythms, you have been nursing your dreams in darkness—exploring and cultivating and learning from the raw creative energy that is simmering and ripening in your inner depths. Keep doing this important work, even if there are not yet any productive results. Eventually, it will enable you to “act with grandeur,” as Genet said.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Poet and filmmaker Jean Cocteau said, “There are truths that one can only say after having won the right to say them.” In my estimation, you have recently earned the right to express a fresh batch of scintillating and useful truths. Please do us all a favor and unveil them—preferably with both candor and tact. In behalf of everyone who will benefit from your insights, I’m sending you congratulations for the work you’ve had to do on yourself so as to win them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “After you make a fool of yourself a few hundred times, you learn what works,” testifies musician and singer Gwen Stefani. In my own life, I’ve had to make a fool of myself more than a few hundred times to learn what works. My number is closer to a thousand—and I’m still adding new examples on a regular basis. In the coming weeks, Aquarius, I highly recommend that you try what has served me and Gwen Stefani so well. You’re entering a phase when your foolishness will generate especially useful lessons. Being innocent and wildly open-minded will also be very useful.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “It is better to err on the side of daring than the side of caution,” wrote author and futurist Alvin Toffler. While I hesitate to declare that idea to be absolutely and always true, I do recommend it to you in the coming weeks. Given the fact that you have recently been expanding possibilities and cultivating breakthroughs, I’d love to see you keep on pushing forward until you climax your momentum. To boost your courage, try to think of a crazy cry of exhilaration you might exclaim as you make your leaps, like “YAHOO!” or “HELL YES!” or “HERE I COME!” What’s the best change you’ve experienced since the beginning of the pandemic?

COMPILED BY ANDREWS McMEEL SYNDICATION sailed over Oludeniz Beach on the couch, pulling out snacks and drinks, and kicking off his shoes to put on slippers as he settled in to watch cartoons. Kaval’s rig landed safely, and he didn’t miss any of his shows. • While Americans celebrated the Fourth of July by blowing stuff up, people in Seoul, South Korea, were surprised by an unannounced high-tech aerial display of encouragement and gratitude for medical personnel treating victims of COVID-19. AFP reported that 300 unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, lit up the sky for 10 minutes over the Han River on July 4 with messages about wearing masks, washing hands and socially distancing, then shifted focus to thank frontline health care workers. It ended with a silhouette of the Korean peninsula and the message, “Cheer up, Republic of Korea.” The event was not advertised in advance in accordance with social distancing rules.

A statue of Christopher Columbus stands in Cleveland’s Little Italy neighborhood, but if signers of a petition get their way, it will soon be replaced by a statue of Chef Boyardee. The petition, signed by hundreds, suggests Ettore (Hector) Boiardi, known for his “food and iconic mustache,” would be a much better recipient of Cleveland’s love, Cleveland.com reported. “Boiardi and his brothers built a canned food empire from the ground up,” the petition argues, and “during World War II, this company produced canned food for American soldiers 24/7,” earning Chef Boyardee a Gold Star in 1946.

Don Peters, 44, was arrested without incident on July 4, according to Akron, Ohio, police, after forcing his way around the counter at a Subway sandwich shop and making his own sandwich. According to police, Peters was intoxicated when he entered the store demanding a meal and became belligerent, damaging some plexiglass before charging behind the counter. Cleveland.com reported officers said they found a bottle of vodka and a block of Subway cheese in Peters’ pockets; he was charged with disorderly conduct, criminal damaging and open container.

Lucky Surprise! Wynn Hall of Exeter, Nebraska, might have expected to find a few beer cans or old tires at the bottom of his farm pond when he drained it for maintenance on July 3, but he discovered something entirely different: an empty, broken ATM. “I thought, who would throw a refrigerator or a stove in the pond?” Hall told KOLN. “I took a picture and zoomed in on it and thought, that looks like an ATM.” When authorities arrived, they had a good idea of the source of the machine, since one had been stolen recently, but the numbers didn’t match up. Hall said he didn’t drain the pond last year, but didn’t think the ATM had been there too long. “This is by far the strangest and I was really shocked to see it,” Hall said.

Nathalia Bruno, 24, of Newark, New Jersey, survived a harrowing mile-long ride through the storm sewer system under Passaic on July 6 after she drove into high water during a flash flood, NorthJersey.com reported. Bruno, a driver for DoorDash, escaped her car as it filled with water, but the current pulled both her and her car into the waterway that runs under the city, Passaic Fire Chief Patrick Trentacost said. Bruno rode the wave until it reached its outlet above the Passaic River, where she was “shot out” and swam to a backyard on the other side. A homeowner called 911, and Bruno was taken to a hospital where she appeared not to be seriously injured. Her Toyota Prius was later found under a street the next day.

• Chen Haigang, 50, of China’s Shanxi province, credits his good health and wellbeing to a fitness regimen he created and has been following for about 30 years. Instead of doing tai chi or heading to the gym, Oddity Central reported on July 9, Chen acts like a monkey, walking on all fours and dangling his arms, even climbing trees and swinging from branch to branch. “I often watched the monkeys at the zoo. I thought it looked so fun and I started imitating,” Chen said. “Since I moved to the city for work, I’ve spent my free time doing the (monkey) walking exercise. ... I never need to see a doctor.” Recently, Chen has added other animals’ movements to his routine, such as crawling like a crocodile. He said many people have asked him about his routine but are too embarrassed to do it in public. • Yoshito Harada, 32, readily admitted to police in Higashiura, Japan, that he slashes women’s car tires so he can then step up to “help” them fix their flats. On June 11, Oddity Central reported, a 43-year-old unnamed woman leaving a grocery store noticed that her tire was flat. As she pulled over, a man stopped his car and offered to help, but the woman had had a similar experience a year before and recognized the good Samaritan, so she contacted police. Officers viewed surveillance video from the market and saw Harada slashing the woman’s tire just before she emerged from the store. Further investigation revealed Harada has a history of approaching women this way going back to 2013, and authorities believe he has pulled the stunt more than 1,000 times. ‫ﵭ‬

The Cheyenne (Nebraska) County Commissioners vented their frustration on July 6 over an alarming threat posed by a native species in the state’s panhandle. The Scottsbluff Star-Herald reported that commissioner Philip Sanders told the gathering that prairie dogs had caused almost $3 million in damage to 2,600 acres in the county, and pleaded with representatives of the U.S. Department of Agriculture: “We have a group here from Lodgepole. Their whole town is being surrounded by prairie dogs, and we heed your help.” The county has contracted with the USDA to handle its animal control problems, but Sanders said the lone wildlife specialist charged with the task has been overwhelmed. “I feel like we’ve let Lodgepole down,” Sanders said. “I don’t want to eradicate (prairie dogs). ... I get it, but they’re out of control.”

minutes from the letters in: Ivy League

Doesn't this phrase conjure up images of old brick edifices of learning draped in clinging dark cyan vines? Isn't this why the elite colleges decided to call their conference the Ivy League? No. When the 'brainy' schools were getting handily and repeatedly trounced by the 'brawny' schools the smart ones decided to have their own conference and not invite the brutes. Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Princeton joined together and called themselves 'The Four League.' Being brainy, they used Roman numerals in their designation, thus becoming the IV League. Scoring: 31 - 40 = Aloft; 26 - 30 = Ahead; 21 - 25 = Aweigh; 16 - 20 = Amidships; 11 - 15 = Aboard; 05 - 10 = Adrift; 01 - 05 = Aground

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