Locally-Grown Food Makes Memories

B

“

uy local.” The phrase is a newer addition to our vocabulary, a call for folks to support small businesses in our own communities rather than rely on large global imports.

I don’t remember my family being urged to buy local when I was a child. But I do remember the Veggie Man. I’m not sure that I ever knew his name, or exactly which farm he came from, but during the late 1980s the Veggie Man regularly brought his farm truck loaded with fresh produce up Route 2 and all the way to the end of our neighborhood street. He’d leave the truck running as my mom and I came out to buy fruits and vegetables.

I can still feel and smell the warm exhaust from the back of the idling truck as I sat on its tailgate eating sweet, snappy green beans while my mom made her purchases. I haven’t forgotten those green beans—better than any I’d tasted.

I also remember eating succotash made with corn and lima beans grown by my Great-Uncle

Bob in Carroll County. Uncle Bob grew up on a farm as one of 10 children, and they all worked.

I could not explain how he could make (gasp) lima beans taste so good. I concluded they must be special because they came from a farm instead of the grocery store.

The most memorable local food from my childhood was, of course, crabs. Off our pier on Cypress Creek, we caught crabs the lazy way: with a trap and a keeper sitting on the mud bottom with chicken necks inside for bait. When we’d collected enough over a few days, we went through the exciting maneuver of transferring the crabs from trap to bucket on the pier (sometimes losing a feisty one right off the pier) and from bucket to steamer in the house (sometimes chasing an escapee around the kitchen floor).

Those crabs couldn’t get much fresher, and I’ll admit, I was spoiled. We ate crabs every two weeks, at least. Whatever meat we got too full to eat, my mom would patiently sit and pick to be frozen for a future crab imperial dinner.

While we didn’t go out of our way to eat

“local,” doing so shaped a lot of my childhood food memories.

Today, it often takes a concerted effort to buy local. Grocery chain delivery services and produce shipped in from faraway places often make it more convenient to shop the vast selection of imports rather than seek local options.

For Maryland’s annual Buy Local Challenge (page 8), launched 13 years ago in Southern Maryland and now promoted statewide, we asked photojournalist and young father Mark Hendricks to eat something produced locally every day for a week. He enjoyed the assignment, to say the least.

We hope you enjoy reading about his inspired choices and challenge yourself to dine on the local bounty of Chesapeake Country, too.

Dolphins on the Severn River. Image from video by Anna Grace Keller

DOLPHIN POD WOWS SEVERN RIVER, SIGHTINGS RISE BAYWIDE

S

tunning video of dolphin pods are suddenly surfacing (no pun intended) from all over the Chesapeake Bay. The experts who track dolphins in our region say sightings are up 25 percent over last year.

Just outside of Brewer Creek (sometimes known as Idle River) on the Severn River, Anna Grace Keller captured incredible video, shared by the Severn River Association, of dolphins swimming in perfect synchronicity between two boats.

Keller says about 30 dolphins in all were playing on both sides of the boat she and her sister were riding on.

“Dolphins popped up within arms’ length of us every couple of seconds, each time filling us with the same child-like joy as the time before. More boats joined the watch party as we

continued down the river towards the Severn River Bridge, cheering, hollering and hooting at the amazing show the dolphins put on for us,” she tells Bay Bulletin.

Just upriver, a family at Linstead Beach on the Severn captured photos of an estimated dozen dolphins frolicking just off the pier at sunrise. Over the weekend photos and video were captured on Virginia’s Northern Neck, and the lower Potomac River as well as the Severn, and in the Patuxent and Miles Rivers last week.

Indeed, dolphin sightings have been abundant this summer, according to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) Chesapeake Biological Lab’s Chesapeake DolphinWatch program. As of July 15, people on the Bay have re-

ported 500 sightings using the DolphinWatch smartphone app, compared to 400 at the same time last year.

And use of the app itself has picked up in the three years it’s been around.

UMCES Research Associate Professor Dr. Helen Bailey and DolphinWatch Project Coordinator Jamie Testa say there are now 6,500 active users on the Bay, and daily usage is higher in 2020 than in either of the app’s previous two years.

“We were concerned that there would be less people on and around the Bay this year and fewer dolphin sightings because of the pandemic. This does not seem to be the case,” Bailey says.

In fact, more boaters than ever seem to be on the water this summer, looking to get away on the Bay rather than travel out of the region. That means more eyes on the horizon, spotting dolphins in the Bay and its rivers.

Atlantic bottlenose dolphins were considered a “depleted population” following a 2013 disease epidemic, but Dr. Bailey says the plentiful sightings

are a sign that the dolphins are rebounding.

While some people on the Severn can’t remember hearing of so many dolphin sightings that far north, Bailey says the sightings have become a regular occurence near the Bay Bridge, and into the Severn and Chester rivers, especially in June and July.

Bailey and Testa use the sightings reported on the DolphinWatch app for research purposes. Read a just-released fact sheet on their findings from 2017-2019 at https://tinyurl.com/ y6629dsg.

In addition to the citizen reporting data, the DolphinWatch team has also been using devices to listen for dolphin calls and their signature whistles or “name” so they can identify and track individual dolphins. So far, the devices have caught 250 unique dolphin whistles on the Potomac River alone.

To learn how to get and use the DolphinWatch app, go to umces.edu/ dolphinwatch.

SNAKE MYSTERY: WATERMAN ENCOUNTERS REPTILE 5 MILES OFFSHORE

when he saw the “stick” suddenly move, he turned back for a closer look. There, in the widest part of the open Bay, was an Eastern Hog-nosed snake, swimming toward Onancock with who-knows-what on its mind. Parks took the picture with his phone and posted it to his Facebook page, where it produced nearly a hundred surprised comments from his followers.

J.D. Kloepfer, the herpetologist at Virginia’s Department of Wildlife Resources, identified the reptile and noted that it’s one of the few native snakes that can float while swimming.

Parks reports that Tangier has its

young waterman from Tangier Island recently snapped a picture that immediately stirred up questions: how does a snake manage to swim five miles away from shore?

Earlier this week, Allen Parks and his mate were crabbing five miles south of their home on Tangier Island when he thought he saw a floating, curved, brown stick out of the corner of his eye.

Like other highline watermen, he is a keen observer of the Chesapeake, so

share of black snakes, which certainly keep the island’s mouse population in check, and a few green garter snakes, but he has never seen a hog-nosed snake out there. The species is common in woods with sandy soils around the Chesapeake, mostly eats toads, and is not aggressive.

It seldom ventures so far off shore.

Bill Portlock, the best snake expert on the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s staff, theorizes that wind and current had “helped” the snake. Allen noted that the wind was coming out of the northeast around five knots, and the current had just begun to ebb when he saw the snake. Both conditions would have pushed the snake to the south from, say, Watts Island. It’s conceivable that an osprey from a nest on Tangier or Watts could have picked it up off a beach and struggled to carry it home, dropping it in the middle of Tangier Sound.

Ecologists call these unusual but not impossible journeys of wild creatures “sweepstakes dispersal”, helping spread species to new habitats. The only threat this snake may have faced in its big journey was having a cobia mistake it for an eel, one of that big brown fish’s favorite foods. Who knows where that snake has gotten to by now?

WOODWIND CRUISES CELEBRATES WEDDING CRASHERS 15TH ANNIVERSARY WITH THEMED SAILS

I

f you live on the Chesapeake Bay and you’ve seen the Owen Wilson-Vince Vaughn comedy Wedding Crashers, you know the local landmarks used in its filming. Much of the scenery was captured in Easton, and the Inn at Perry Cabin in St. Michaels stands in for a fancy family estate.

Then, of course, there’s the Woodwind II, the Annapolis-based cruising sailboat with a starring role. For the film’s 15th anniversary, Schooner Woodwind Sailing Cruises held a special Wedding Crashers Week of sails.

Bay Bulletin got to go along for a fun behind-the-scenes look at what it was like to work with big stars when the Woodwind II and her crew went Hollywood.

Capt. Jen Kaye will never forget the words from the director of 2005’s Wed-

ding Crashers. “I said, ‘What do you think of this whole thing, the boat.’

And he’s like, ‘Welcome to Hollywood,’” Kaye said with a smile.

Capt. Kaye hosted Wedding Crashers Week, treating cruise guests to tales from the filming. She showed off photos the crew gave her as a memento, including Vince Vaughn relaxing on board, reading the newspaper.

“And here I am steering the boat while Christopher Walken is really steering the boat,” Kaye says. In the scene, she is tucked down below the wheel, steering the boat with a compass, just out of sight.

“They wanted Christopher Walken to keep his entire mind on what his lines were, which was, Johnny boy, come on up here. Man the Woodwind for awhile.”

“I said to him (and we were told not to talk to the talent), ‘I’m so sorry for See WOODWIND on next page

July 23 - July 30, 2020 • BAY WEEKLY • 5

BAY BULLETIN WOODWIND from page 5

gasping on your first round of the lines, but I didn’t know that you were using the name Woodwind.’

“Christopher Walken said, ‘I didn’t know they were going to use the name either until I saw the script this morning.’ I said, ‘Just a real quick aside: it’s because my dad is a music teacher, the boat’s made out of wood, it takes wind to make her go and that’s why we named her Woodwind.’ And I said, ‘This is my family’s business.’ He was like, ‘Really.’

I said, ‘Yeah, he taught music in Connecticut.’ He said, ‘I live in Connecticut.’”

The wooden sailboat was built to resemble what a prominent family in the 1930s may have owned. The Woodwind II has been offering cruises out of Annapolis for 22 years, and the original Woodwind has been operating for 27 years.

Kimberly and Eric Eisel joined one of last week’s cruises on a visit from California. “Since it was Wedding Crashers week and that’s a movie that I really like, that’s neat to know that you’re sitting on a part of Hollywood history,” Eric said.

“I liked hearing the stories,” Kimberly added. “Capt. Jen did a really good job of talking about the experience of get-

ting from point to point with the crews.”

The crew wore Crabcakes and Football t-shirts, as a nod to Bradley Cooper’s line in the movie, “Crabcakes and football—that’s what Maryland does!”

The film shoot took about six days in late spring 2004 and the Woodwind II has about four minutes in the movie.

The crew was attracted to her four sails and the sound of pulling the lines.

It’s an experience you can get anytime you want to take a cruise.

“In the times that we’re in, have a little joy. And really kind of remember the fun,” Kaye says.

The boat’s starring role in a movie is a

source of pride not just for Kaye, but for fellow boaters around Annapolis. “They love telling the story. We hear it all the time from powerboats, jetskis, paddleboarders… they say, ‘Hey did you know that boat was in the movie Wedding Crashers…’ You can hear them.”

—CHERYL COSTELLO

The final movie-themed sail was on Tuesday, but Schooner Woodwind Annapolis Sailing Cruises continue their socially-distanced sails, with zone seating and limited capacity.

Annapolis Park Renamed to Honor Displaced Families of the Old Fourth Ward

BY KRISTA PFUNDER

W

hitmore Park on Calvert Street in Downtown Annapolis has a new name and a new mission.

The park, located across from the Arundel Center, will now be called The People’s Park and is rededicated to the families of the old Fourth Ward.

In 1968, 32 homes and halls stood on the block known as the Fourth Ward.

“Homeowners were Black, Jewish and other immigrants,” says local histo-

Clockwise from above: The old Fourth Ward in Annapolis was home to 32 families and halls.

Photo: Janice HayesWilliams; L-R: Rick Anthony and Steuart Pittman stand ready to cut the ribbon rededicating the park.

Photo by CBM Bay Weekly rian Janice Hayes-Williams. “Family names included Alsop, Brown, Sharps and Tyler.”

Joe Alton, first Anne Arundel County Executive, led the effort to have the

homes and halls moved so that a parking garage could be built.

“This was done under the guise of urban renewal,” Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley said during the dedication ceremony last week. “Any family that didn’t want to sell were told they would be pushed out under imminent domain.”

The park and nearby parking garage built where the homes once stood were named in honor of John Whitmore, the first county councilman of District 6.

“The land beneath us has seen history—some gruesome,” said Mayor Buckley. Between 1875 and 1911, at least five

6 • BAY WEEKLY • July 23 - July 30, 2020

lynchings took place in Anne Arundel County. A memorial was installed in the park last year in honor of the victims.

“The memorial recognizes some of the worst parts of the history of this town,” Steuart Pittman, Anne Arundel County Executive said during the ceremony. “We had a lot of work at this park and still have a lot of work to do. I want to help all the families who were displaced.”

The last line on the memorial to the victims of the lynchings reads, “Memorializing these victims reminds us to remain persistent in the pursuit of justice for all.”

“I’m urging people to also remem-

ber this location because something very important happened here on August 23, 1963,” Carl Snowden, president of the Caucus of African American Leaders said during the re-dedication ceremony. “People gathered to board a bus to participate in the march in Washington, DC where Martin Luther King Jr, uttered those famous words, ‘I have a dream.’”

“This park is a place for people to gather who are trying to make change,” said Pittman.

Anne Arundel County Parks and Recreation took over management of the park in 2017.

“We had an open comment period for the name change,” Rick Anthony, director of Anne Arundel County Recreation and Parks said during the ceremony. “The top picks were The Old Fourth Ward Park, The People’s Park or to keep the name Whitmore’s Park.”

The department’s Recreation Advisory Board decided “change was not only appropriate, but the right thing to do,” said Anthony. “This name will remember the community that was here.”

Future plans for the park include more interpretive signage, special events and memorial plates on park benches.

Calvert Marine Museum Reopens

BY KRISTA PFUNDER

C

alvert Marine Museum in Solomons continually changes its exhibits to keep visitors engaged. This week, the changes are aimed at helping prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The newly reopened museum now requires visitors over the age of 2 to wear a face covering, asks guests to physically distance themselves from others and have created a one-way traffic flow throughout the exhibits. The museum is also asking visitors to make a reservation ahead of their visit.

“No more than 75 guests are allowed in the museum at once,” says Anjelica Eitel, communications and marketing coordinator for the museum. Included in that number are reservation slots set aside for members and visitors to the museum store.

Staggered over the course of the museum’s reopening day last Friday, more than 100 guests in all were happily by greeted by staff, volunteers and residents. “The human members of our team weren’t the only ones who missed visitors,” notes Eitel. “Our three North American river otters, Chumley, Calvert, and Chessie Grace playfully flipped and twirled through the water in their outdoor exhibit, taking breaks to swim up and greet our guests.”

A new aquatic resident is also greeting guests. A lionfish—a venomous marine fish that preys mostly on small fish and has spiky fins—was added to the exhibits by the estuarine biology team during the closure.

Another new sight for visitors is in

the works. “HERstory, which shares the stories of Southern Maryland women who made significant contributions to their fields, was scheduled to be installed several months ago,” Eitel says. “Due to the museum’s temporary closure, the exhibit was released as a digital download on our website in April. Now that the museum is open, guests can will soon be able to see this impressive exhibit in person.”

A few exhibits will remain closed to the public. Drum Point Lighthouse and Discovery Room are closed, but a museum exhibits interpreter will be at the base of the lighthouse to answer questions. Some of the high-touch areas of the museum will also remain closed.

One of the museum’s most popular draws, the Waterside Music Series, which brings live music to the outside pavilion will return later this year in the form of a new exhibit.

“The series began as a small community fundraiser and has evolved into an event that attracts thousands of guests to enjoy the music industry’s top talent,” Eitel says. “When it is rolled out later this year, there will be behindthe-scenes photos, performer memorabilia and backstage stories.”

The museum encourages advanced reservations even for museum members who will continue to enjoy free admission as one of their membership benefits. Reservations are available on the museum website (www. calvertmarinemuseum.com) in twohour slots. The museum is open from 10am-5pm daily but will close for 30 minutes in between each two-hour session to allow staff to thoroughly clean all visitor areas. p July 23 - July 30, 2020 • BAY WEEKLY • 7

FOODS

RIPE FOR PICKING STORY AND PHOTOS BY MARK HENDRICKS

W

hen Bay Weekly asked if I would be interested in covering Maryland’s Buy Local Week and take part in the Buy Local Challenge, which would require me to consume something local each day for an entire week, I jumped at the opportunity. I normally eat a pretty clean diet so a chance to indulge a bit in some of the Free State’s most beloved delicacies sounded like a fun, and tasty, challenge.

I normally write about wildlife and the environment, so it was fun to embrace the “wild life” of my inner foodie. Not only did I get to eat some delicious local produce but I also took advantage of local seafood and a 8 • BAY WEEKLY • July 23 - July 30, 2020

dessert. I was able to visit a farm I have been going to most my life (Larriland Farm in Woodbine) and visit a new one (Swann Farms in Owings).

The entire impetuous of the Buy Local challenge is to support Maryland-based agriculture, produce, meat, seafood, and more. Originally conceived by the Southern Maryland Agriculture Commission in 2007 to support local farmers in the region the challenge has now expanded across the entire state.

It’s fun, delicious and allows families to support local farmers and foster an appreciation of where their food comes from. If there’s ever been a time to support our farmers, it’s now.

The first thing I noticed at their stand was the boxes of peaches—large, plump, marvelous peaches. I learned they were of the John Boy variety and, before I could drool on them, immediately purchased some.

Now what to do with them? Eating a large juicy peach fresh off the tree is a rite of summer, but I wanted to do something special for this challenge that I had never done before. The answer lay in grilling.

OMG. The beauty is in the simplicity. I cut the peaches in half, removed the pit, lightly brushed both sides with oil, and grilled each side for 5-6 minutes on

high heat. If you thought peaches were juicy before just wait until you grill them. The natural sugars come alive with flavor from the grill’s heat. You can top them with ice cream or some homemade cinnamon butter, but honestly, they are perfect all by themselves.

Day 2: Zucchini, Swann Farms, Calvert County

Did I mention how awesome the produce is at Swann farms? I decided to take some fresh zucchini and slice it thin into chips. I tossed them with some olive oil, laid them on parchment paper and coated them with Parmesan and a little dried basil. My wife and I ate them all in less than 10 minutes. Some people add breadcrumbs to their zucchini chips but I opted out because of what I planned to eat the next day.

Eating a large juicy peach fresh off the tree is a rite of summer, but I wanted to do something special for this challenge that I had never done before.

The answer lay in grilling.

OMG.

Day 2: Zucchini, also from Swann Farms, was turned into tasty Parmesan chips.

Day 3: Strawberry Smith Island Cake, Eggspectation

FOODS

RIPE FOR PICKING C O N T I N U E D

Day 3: Smith Island Cake, Eggspectation, Howard County (Ellicott City) Bonus dessert

When I originally decided to take part in this challenge, I wanted to consume a giant piece of original Smith Island Cake from the Smith Island Baking Company. There’s really nothing quite like it.

It wasn’t that long ago I learned that the Eggspectation restaurant in Ellicott City Maryland makes a strawberry version of the beloved classic that is supposedly fantastic.

“Blasphemy!” I said out loud at the thought of strawberry in place of the creamy chocolate. As I did some research, however, I found there are many dif-

ferent varieties of the cake, even an Old Bay version.

“Come on, Mark, this is supposed to be a challenge after all,” said my mind. I decided to indulge and boy, am I glad I did. If Smith Island Cake and strawberry creamsicle produced an offspring this would be it. Layer upon layer of pink strawberry cake with alternating layers of creamy white icing and I was in a state of food-induced ecstasy.

Day 4: Corn on the Cob, Swann Farms, Calvert County

I enjoyed grilling peaches so much I wanted to try it again with corn, also purchased from Swann Farms. It was perfect. All I did was remove the silk, pull back the husk and soaked the corn for 10 minutes in salted water. I then pulled the husk back over the corn cobs and grilled them over medium heat for 20 minutes, flipping the ears every 4-5 minutes. The kernels were soft and sweet. The temperature of the grill really brought out the sweetness, as before with the peaches.

My daughter asked to take a bite from mine. When I asked for it back, she answered with a strong and affirmative “No, Papa.”

Good thing I grilled four ears!

Day 5: Soft Shell Crab, Roy’s Kwik Korner

Day 4: Corn on the Cob, Swann Farms 10 • BAY WEEKLY • July 23 - July 30, 2020

I asked a friend of mine, Anne Arundel County resident Denise Nooe, where I could get a good local soft-shell crab. Without hesitation she told me to check out Roy’s Kwik Korner in Glen Burnie.

Day 5: Soft Shell Crab, Roy’s Kwik Korner, Anne Arundel County (Glen Burnie)

How could I take part in this challenge without something crab-related? I asked a friend of mine, Anne Arundel County resident Denise Nooe, where I could get a good local soft-shell crab. Without hesitation she told me to check out Roy’s Kwik Korner in Glen Burnie.

I actually wanted to enjoy some soft-shell earlier in the challenge but when I called, they were sold out.

This time I called when they first opened at 10am and ordered a sandwich platter complete with hushpuppies and onion rings.

The seafood industry and watermen are synonymous with the Bay and its culture. Enjoying these delicacies from local establishments support the industry, which is what this week is all about.

Day 7: Smoothie made with blueberries & blackberries from Larriland Farm in Howard County (Woodbine)

Larriland Farm in Howard County is one of the largest pick-your-own farms in the state. Throughout the growing season the farm offers a wide variety of vegetables and berries, including gooseberries, as well as many varieties of peaches and apples. I have been picking there since I was a child and I am especially fond of the October tradition of pumpkin-picking and hayrides.

For my last meal of the challenge I considered making a pie or cobbler. Then it dawned on me that the beauty of eating local produce from Maryland farms is the incredible flavors that one can only experience when the food is fresh. So I opted for a smoothie of fresh blueberries and blackberries that was incredibly refreshing on a brutally hot summer’s day. Challenge complete.

One thing this challenge showed me is that it is worth the effort to purchase food straight from the farm. Not only is it much fresher, it also supports farmers and their families. It makes one appreciate the culture and local delicacies of home. No longer should this be a weeklong challenge, but a yearround lifestyle.

You can find ideas for your own Buy Local challenge, plus menus created by area chefs at www.buylocalchallenge.com.

Thank you to our farmers, brewers, chefs, and seafood producers! p

Day 6: Playground Legend Double IPA, Calvert Brewing Company, Prince George’s County (Upper Marlboro)

Maryland has a thriving craft beer scene with over 100 brewpubs and microbreweries. I love visiting new brewpubs and trying local beers. For this challenge I decided on Calvert Brewing Company. The beer of choice was their Playground Legend Double IPA, an ambitious double-hopped India pale ale at 9.2 percent ABV (do not operate farm equipment, or any machinery, after consuming this!).

Upon first sip the hops take hold and don’t let go. The flavor is big and bold with notes of citrus and mango. It’s a beast of a double IPA and a very enjoyable drinking experience. My wife, who is not a big IPA fan, loved this beer.

After the beer was finished, I hung up my gear— done for the night.

SPORTING LIFE

FISHFINDER: The rockfish bite remains concentrated north of Swan Point though it wanders up and down the Eastern Shore a bit. Live-lining is the key for bigger fish but chumming is getting a fair share of limits as is casting soft jigs. Lots of charter boats are gathered there but if you’re really early or patient you can find a spot. Perch fishing is picking up but DNR’s promise of bigger fish is hard to realize without extensive searching. Crabbing remains mediocre and the best results require some searching. The southern Bay has a superior bite if you don’t mind traveling. Try Point Lookout or Tangier Sound.

BY DENNIS DOYLE

Logan Lucky and the White Perch Adventure I t seemed, at first, a great plan. My 7-year-old grandson, Logan, was visiting us from Miami where he and his mother Monica, and sister Bella, had fled the pandemic. The Chesapeake was to be a great place for their respite and a definite change from the restrictions of apartment life in the heart of that crazy city.

Launching with Logan early the first morning in my 17-foot center console, we planned on a white perch expedition for a fish fry that evening. I had previously found concentrations of both white perch and spot just off the Magothy’s main channel. Unfortunately, they had been consistently very small fish, good for live-lining but little else.

The day before, I heard reports from a usually reliable source that a lot of larger perch had moved in and the bite had become excellent. Hoping for a change from my poor luck, we cast our dice on a perching adventure.

Logan Lucky was the title of a movie my wife and I had seen recently, depicting the fortuitous change of luck for the Logan family when they undertook a particularly preposterous adventure involving lots of explosions and currently popular actors. I hoped that

turn of luck would apply to our Logan, the fishing trip and an optimistically planned dinner.

Our first disappointment that morning was the inability to secure bloodworms or soft crab, two surefire baits for larger, discriminating Bay panfish.

Hoping that ordinary redworms would do the trick we began fishing along the channel edges in about 12 feet of water.

Top and bottom rigs tipped with pieces of worm and a one-ounce sinker would have to be the answer.

Drawing bites almost immediately,

we soon found ourselves inundated with 4- to 6-inch perch and spot. After an hour or so of searching, we were rapidly going through our supply of worms. Though we did release dozens of the little guys, even Logan was getting discouraged with the constant throwbacks.

Logan, surprisingly, was proving a trooper, despite the difficult bite. But into the second hour I wouldn’t have faulted him with a desire to return home and the comforts of air conditioning and better distractions. Not wishing to press his endurance too far, I decided to swing for the fence, hoping Logan had at least another half hour of effort in him.

There was one last, distant location I hadn’t yet fished this season that had sometimes proven good in the past, a rocky shoreline with some adjacent shade trees and an occasional dilapidated pier or bulkhead. It was, though, going to be our last effort of the day.

After a hard run up a distant creek we reached our destination and re-rigged our light rods with perch-sized spinnerbaits.

Advising my young friend to cast close to the rocks, we began to work the area. But almost immediately Logan was snagged up solid. Leaning over to

take the rod from his hand to help him clear his line, I noticed the tip surge.

Then his drag buzzed. A fish fight had commenced.

Ignoring the beast’s frantic surges and my cautionary advice, Logan promptly reeled the brute ever closer and then, despite another plea to wait for a net, he hoisted the rascal up out of the water, holding a very large perch, dangling and struggling over the water. My heart was in my mouth.

Swinging it finally up over the gunnel, my grandson miraculously got the fish on board where it immediately spit the hook and began flapping about.

The beast measured 12½ inches, blackbacked and as thick as a book. A white perch trophy.

He followed that big perch moments later with an 11½-incher with the same black back and nearly as thick; I was convinced we were now on a streak.

Luck had changed big time for this Logan and his family.

Within a half hour we had more than enough thick, hefty perch in the cooler for a family fish fry. The bite was still hot but I decided to leave while things remained interesting for our newest angler. Plus, cold drinks and a cooling shower were waiting for us on shore and I was more than ready for both. p

Learning About Shorebirds I grew up in St. Petersburg, Fla., just about two miles from the Gulf beaches. I spent quite a lot of time at the beach, playing, fishing, working and relaxing. Although I could name almost every fish and crab species along the shore, I never quite got interested in the birds that ran around at the edge of the waves. All of them were “sandpipers” to me.

About nine years after I moved away from Florida, I became interested in bird migrations (I think it was a National Geographic article that triggered my interest). Shorebirds became more interesting because of the remarkable distances they travel. I have since tried to identify and learn about the migration patterns of all the common shorebirds—also known as the peeps, a common bird-watching term for little birds running through the waves.

One of my favorite peeps is the semipalmated plover.

Semipalmated means it has several distinct color bands. Plovers, when compared to sandpipers, have shorter bills and bigger eyes. These particular plovers are pretty small, about the size of a hen egg. They are a favorite because they run along the beach in a charming manner. Along the tide line, they will

run five to 10 steps and then suddenly stop. Frequently they bob forward when they stop like they are hinged on a spring. When they feed, on small crustaceans and worms, they rapidly tilt forward and peck at the sand or mud and then suddenly tilt upright and freeze in place. The sudden stops are probably a protective maneuver.

Once they freeze in place, they blend into the debris of the shoreline. I have seen a flock of plovers run and stop in unison but have also seen them take turns. Their predictable movements make them easy to photograph.

The plovers make a long migration each spring from the Atlantic and Gulf coasts to northern Canada for nesting.

After they rear three or four young to the point of being able to fly, they start a late summer migration south. They commonly spend winter along the Maryland coastline including the Chesapeake Bay and will start showing up in early August. They are one of the few shorebirds whose population has actually increased, although the reason is unknown.

As you visit the shore look for the little birds with short multicolored bills that make short quick runs and sudden stops. They will likely be plovers. ‫ﵭ‬

Cilantro

Choosing an Herb Garden Theme

L

ast week, I presented the basics for preparing the soil for an herb garden. This week, I’d like to focus on what to plant. Choose the herbs you want to grow by what you want to use them for, cooking or aroma. For culinary uses, consider what cuisines you favor in your meals.

If you love heart healthy Mediterranean cooking, then plant rosemary, French or English thyme, sage and parsley. For rosemary to survive the winter, look for the two hardiest varieties: Arp and Gorizia. Find a southern exposure that drains well, close to your home’s foundation and amended with a few handfuls of dolomitic lime stone. Except in a very severe winter, you would probably be able to pick these herbs all winter.

If you like Mexican cuisine, try growing a variety of chili peppers such as Anaheim, poblano, jalapeno and serrano. Cilantro is the most used herb in Mexican cuisine and as it matures the seeds are what we know as coriander.

Mediterranean oregano is recommended as the native Mexican oregano (Lippia graveolens) is a tender perennial that will not survive our winters. In some parts of Mexico, the leaves of Mexican oregano are toasted before

using. Cilantro does best in the cooler parts of the year but if allowed to reseed itself over winter, it will come up very early next spring. Epazote (Chenopodium ambrosioides) is another Mexican herb used to control flatulence from eating beans. It grows wild in many temperate areas of the United States. Harvest both the leaves and shoots for seasoning.

If you like natural fragrances, growing a potpourri garden might be fun.

Plant old-fashioned roses for their lovely scent. Most rugosa roses are very fragrant and easy to grow. Hansa is a rose that is sweetly fragrant of cloves with magenta flowers. Plant a variety of English lavenders around it.

Lemon verbena and rose geranium can be planted in pots as they are tender plants. Harvest your rose petals and lavender in their peak and dry them in a basket. Dry small bunches of lemon verbena and rose geranium, also.

Mix all your dried petals and leaves together, then add a little orris root with drops of rose and lavender essential oils.

You can enjoy your garden potpourri during the cold winter months. ‫ﵭ‬ Have a gardening question?

aria Skłodowska (Rosamund Pike: The Informer) has a brilliant mind and no funding.

Instead of being taken seriously, she’s seen as a nuisance in the science department of the University of Paris.

Unable to play the coquette or charm her peers, her studies are disrespected and her equipment constantly jettisoned in favor of men’s research.

When she meets Pierre Curie (Sam Riley: Maleficent: Mistress of Evil), she is suspicious. She’s never met a man who has taken a genuine interest in her mind and her work. Soon, the two form a partnership that will change the course of the world. Now married and using the more francophone name Marie Curie, the scientist discovers two elements: radium and polonium.

While Marie is protective of her

discoveries, carrying a vial of radium with her wherever she goes, Pierre wants to see what their discovery can become. But when she and Pierre begin to grow sick and cough blood, they wonder if there’s a downside to what they’ve uncovered.

A movie about an incredible scientist and a discovery that has both changed and damaged the world, Radioactive is a wide sweeping drama. Graphic novelist turned director Marjane Satrapi (The Voices) experiments with time and metaphor to deliver a visually striking film. Satrapi creates lovely pieces of neon-green tinted metaphoric scenes that evoke Marie’s state of mind as well as an encroaching sense of dread.

Satrapi also tries to contextualize the magnitude of what the Curies

discovered—showing the inception of effective radiation treatments on cancer patients and the devastation wrought by the atomic bomb and Chernobyl disasters. Satrapi also critically examines the Curies’ decision to keep radium and polonium patent-free. Pierre was excited to see what other scientists would do with their elements, convincing Marie not to file for a patent. Satrapi explores the consequences of this decision, showing how radium became a trendy ingredient in everything from toothpaste to chocolate.

At the center of the film is Pike’s unflinching portrayal of Marie. Not a feminist hero, or even likeable at times, Marie is a woman committed to science above all else. She is brash, abrasive and utterly uninterested in anything that doesn’t further her work. Her love for Pierre is tied to their love of science, and it’s in him that she finds a true kindred spirit.

When she loses him, she loses herself and seemingly her purpose. It’s a tes-

tament to Pike’s prowess that she can transition from single-minded scientist to lost mourner in a believable and heartbreaking fashion.

As Marie’s partner in science and life, Riley makes an excellent Pierre. He accepts Marie’s peculiarities with aplomb, never questioning her brilliance or attempting to take credit for her mind. It’s easy to understand how Marie’s brilliance flourished under such support.

Though the acting is strong and the subject matter compelling, Radioactive falters in its script. The film falls into most common biographical traps and the story never has any tension in it. Satrapi also fails to mine the persecution Curie faced later in life to its full potential. Though Curie’s personality means she rarely reacted to the press and criticism, it would have been interesting to see more of how her daughters dealt with the pressure placed upon them.

Satrapi also fails to fully explore Curie’s relationships with her daughters, one of whom also won a Nobel Prize in chemistry. The director is more interested in looking at Curie’s impact on history and attempting to weigh the good and the bad that came from her discovery. By leaving out the personal elements that could inform the characters, the movie becomes detached. It feels like you’re reading a textbook instead of learning about an extraordinary woman.

Still, Radioactive is a visually beautiful movie with a strong leading performance from Pike. If you’re hoping to inspire your kids to take up science, this could be the movie to do it. Just don’t let them sleep with a vial of radium in their bed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Author Diane Ackerman tells us, “So often loneliness comes from being out of touch with parts of oneself.” That’s the kind of loneliness I worry you may be susceptible to right now, Taurus. You’re a bit out of touch with aspects of your psyche that are crucial for you to include in your total sense of self.

You’ve been neglecting to nurture certain soulful qualities that keep you healthy and wise. Please note: It won’t be useful to try to find those parts of you in other people; you will have to locate them in your own depths.

Here’s the good news: The coming weeks will be an excellent time to do just that.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Someone ought to do it, but why should I?” Author and activist Annie Besant identified that sentence as the motto of people who are moral cowards: those who know about an injustice but do nothing to address it. Very few of us have completely avoided that behavior. Most of us, including me, have now and then chosen to serve our need for comfort instead of standing up against corruption or unfairness. But I think it’s more important than usual that you Geminis don’t engage in such moral cowardice now. More depends on your integrity and bravery than you realize.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Born in 1936, Cancerian author and activist June Jordan was a black feminist bisexual born to Jamaican immigrant parents. When she was growing up, her father beat her and her mother committed suicide.

Later, she raised her child alone as a single mother. Despite the challenges she faced, she published 28 books, won numerous awards, and wielded significant influence. How did she do it? She was a highly evolved Cancerian in the sense that she put a priority on treating herself well. “I must undertake to love myself and to respect myself as though my very life depends upon self-love and selfrespect,” she testified. I’d like to make that your keynote for the rest of 2020. Your task is to achieve June Jordan-levels of self-care.

https://bayweekly.com/map/ 18 • BAY WEEKLY • July 23 - July 30, 2020

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s never too late to have a rebellious adolescence—hopefully bigger and better and smarter than any you’ve had before.

And according to my analysis, now would be a favorable time to get started. Is there any stuffy authority you’d be wise to flout?

Any dumb and oppressive conventions you would benefit from breaking? Any stale old traditions you’re primed to ignore so you can create some lively new traditions? In my estimation, you will generate good fortune for yourself if you try some benevolent mischief and creative experiments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your word of power for the coming weeks is ubuntu, a Zulu term meaning “I am because we are” or “the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity.”

Nobel Prize-winning theologian Archbishop Desmond Tutu writes, “A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished.” I hope that between now and August 25, Libra, you will put ubuntu at the center of everything you do. Make it an intensely practical practice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them,” says Scorpio-born Liberian politician Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. “If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.”

I trust you’ve arrived at this realization on your own in the past few weeks. And I hope you have audaciously expanded and supercharged your dreams so that they do indeed surpass your current ability to accomplish them. If you have not yet done this daring work, please attend to it now. If you have done it, move on to the next step: making definite plans to acquire the power and resources necessary to achieve your new, improved dreams.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The soul should always stand ajar,” wrote Sagittarian poet Emily Dickinson, “That if the heaven inquire, / He will

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Everything is complicated,” wrote poet Wallace Stevens. “If that were not so, life and poetry and everything else would be a bore.” I agree! And therefore, I conclude, you should shed any resentment you might feel for the fact that our world is a crazy tangle of mystifying and interesting stories.

Drop any wish that life will stop being so fascinatingly messy and confusingly intriguing.

Instead, why not celebrate the deep riddles?

And revel in the intriguing complexity? And give holy thanks for the paradoxical beauty?

Everything I just said should prepare you well for the next four weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be extra sensitive to stimuli in the coming weeks. Every little event will touch you more intensely than usual. Every perception will flow into you with an unusually strong potential to move you and influence you. That’s why I think you should be vigilantly self-protective. Erect a psychic shield around yourself. Make sure your boundaries are firm and clear. Affirm your unshakable commitment to deflecting vibes that aren’t of use to you and welcoming vibes that will enhance your well-being.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Actress Gwyneth Paltrow founded Goop, a company that markets exotic, expensive health treatments. She claims that far-infrared gemstone therapy and crystal-based sound-healing baths will dissolve your negativity. Allowing bees to sting your scars will supposedly cause the scars to fade. Drinking “sex juice,” a blend of watermelon and alkaline water, will enhance your libido. The “collagen martini,” which is a mix of vodka, vermouth, olive juice, and collagen peptides, will smooth your skin’s wrinkles.

I’m favorably disposed to you taking strong actions to improve your well-being in the coming weeks, Pisces, but I recommend that you try cheaper, more reliable modalities than those Paltrow recommends. Like what? Ample sleep and good food, for starters, along with fun exercise, time in nature, enjoyable meditation sessions, and tender expressions of love.

Are there any ways in which you would benefit from becoming more well-balanced?

By “heaven,” I assume Dickinson meant marvelous interventions, sacred revelations, and lucky accidents— and maybe also soulful invitations, out-ofthe-blue opportunities, and supernatural breakthroughs. What do you think, Sagittarius? What can you do to make your soul ajar for phenomena like those?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “How can I communicate to wild bunnies that I

am their ally?” asked a Twitter blogger named Ghost Girl. That question is a good place to start my oracle for you. In the coming weeks, I think you’ll be wise to meditate on how to enhance your relationship with all kinds of wild things: animals, people, weather, landscapes, and your own exotic thoughts and fantasies. In my opinion, you will upgrade your intelligence and well-being by increasing your access to influences that don’t necessarily play by conventional rules and that draw their energy from primal sources.

I hope you will regard Beckett’s idea as an openended encouragement to improvise and experiment. May it rouse you to brainstorm about novel possibilities. May it inspire you to explore fresh trends you could launch.

May it mobilize you to imagine the new worlds you might Big Bang into existence.

NEWS OF THEc WEIRD

COMPILED BY ANDREWS M MEEL SYNDICATION Preordained Justin Couch, 25, of Spring Hill, Florida, who sports a tattoo of a machete under his left eye, was arrested June 13, according to the Hernando (Florida) County Sheriff ’s Office, for allegedly attacking a man with a machete. The unnamed adult male victim told officers Couch forced him out of the home where he’d been living and began arguing with him “for no reason,” reported Fox13 News. As the man attempted to gather his belongings from the home, deputies said, Couch allegedly hit the victim with the flat side of the machete’s blade, “then swung the machete at the victim’s face,” striking his arm with the blade as the man tried to ward off the blow. “The victim is currently unable to use or move his left hand due to the severity of the injury he sustained,” investigators said. Couch was arrested for aggravated battery.

Peter, aka Pierre, aka Abraham ... a peacock. While some residents are happy to welcome him, SFGate.com reported on July 15, others want him to move on and have lodged a complaint with the city.

“For the past 15 weeks or so he has screamed relentlessly, every day,” Jesse T. wrote on the Nextdoor app. “It literally feels like he is inside my house.” The peacock is believed by Animal Control to be feral. But Dennis Fett of the Peacock Information Center in Minden, Iowa, thinks Bruce/Paco/Peter is providing a service. “They’re like a watchdog,” Fett said. “They have keen hearing. (The neighbors) should count their blessings.”

Sign of the Times A perfect storm may be brewing to strike down the long-maligned onecent coin, the penny. Earlier this year, the U.S. Mint cut back on coin production to keep its workers safe amid the COVID-19 pandemic, reported NPR’s Planet Money. At the same time, people stopped spending, especially with cash, and word of a coin shortage spread, prompting some stores, such as Kroger, to start rounding their prices to avoid making coin change.

Last year, the mint made more than 7 billion pennies, almost 60 percent of its total coin production, and each onecent coin cost TWO cents to produce, putting the loss at more than $72 million. Still, the mint has no plans to eliminate the coin. It’s been up and running at full capacity since mid-June, and according to spokesman Michael White, about 40 percent of the coins it has produced since then have been pennies.

Angry Animals • At Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California, five acres around Manzanita Lake were shut down after a man was attacked by an otter on June 25.

Park Superintendent Jim Richardson told the Redding Record Searchlight the unnamed man was swimming in the river and came too close to the otter’s offspring, known as kittens. “It is significant anytime an animal attacks a human,” Richardson said. He did not believe the man was seriously injured, and he said the otter would not be relocated. “It’s the protective momma (doing her job), and the attack came as a surprise,” he said.

Inexplicable An unnamed 37-year-old man driving along a Lincoln, Nebraska, street on July 14 came upon Dominic Kinser, 20, beating a car with a shovel, KOLN reported. After the man pulled over and got out of his car, Kinser turned his anger on him, according to police, yelling at the man and then going into his garage, where he grabbed a rifle, which he pointed at the passerby.

Kinser, who police determined owned the car, was charged with making terroristic threats and possession of a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony.

Chutzpah!

Amber Gilles made news in San Diego, California, in June when she posted a photo of Starbucks barista Lenin Gutierrez, complaining that he “refused to serve me cause I’m not wearing a mask. Next time I will wait for cops and bring a medical exemption.” In response, KGTV reported, Matt Cowan of Irvine started a GoFundMe page to collect tips for the barista who “faced ... a Karen in the wild,” and soon raised more than $100,000, which Gilles now claims she should get half of. “I’ve been discriminated against,” Gilles said, noting that hiring a lawyer to help her get her half was too expensive, so she has started her own GoFundMe page to raise money. Gutierrez said he plans to use the money to further his education and follow his dream of being a dancer.

• At the Inn Town Motel in Norway, Maine, manager Andrew Coombs was not happy when he entered the room rented by Sean Schoomaker and his girlfriend July 11, hoping to collect payment, and discovered more than 50 large spiders, most of them tarantulas, in plastic boxes. “I booted him,” Coombs told the Sun Journal. “He must have snuck them all in at night. We never would have allowed that in our motel.” Animal Control officer Robert Larrabee responded to the motel, and the Maine Warden Service confiscated the arachnids, taking them to a facility for exotic animals in Lewiston.

Schoomaker was cited for possession of three tarantulas that are illegal in the state.

• Officers from the Somerset County (Maine) Sheriff ’s Department and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency searched the apartment of Jessica Hutchins, 36, looking for drugs on July 13, which they found, according to Sheriff Dale Lancaster. “We also got an alligator out of her home,” he told the Morning Sentinel. The 2-foot-long gator was being kept in Rubbermaid tubs, but, Lancaster said, having an alligator in Maine is illegal without proper permits. Officers seized a $12,000 worth of drugs along with the alligator, and Hutchins and several accomplices were charged with a number of drug-related crimes. The gator was removed by the Maine Warden Service. ‫ﵭ‬ Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.

minutes from the letters in: Alan Smithee

Alan Smithee is one of the most prolific film directors with more than fifty movies to his credit. Well, he would be if he were real. When a movie director cites creative differences with producers, and doesn't want their name to appear on the credits of a finished film, like Dune or Death of a Gunfighter, they substitute their name for the made up, Alan Smithee, thus removing themselves from an embarrassing association. Alan Smithee has also been used when creating music videos, comic books, and by Mickey Rooney in three of his eight marriages.

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!
