Seizing Summer: Make the Most of What’s Left
A
last month of summer like a bucket list. Since H, LATE SUMMER on the Chesapeake. Big, fat crabs come further up the Bay, just August 1, I’ve brought the kids to a new splash pad, tried my first gourmet snowball (from a begging to be scooped up with a net. We shop called Ice Queens near beat the heat by swimFort McHenry in Baltimore— ming at local beaches or the strawberry lemonade off the back of a boat— flavor is heaven on a hot watching with vigilance day!) and spent a Sunday for the lurking sea netafternoon at BWI Marshall tles that creep in with Airport’s Thomas A. Dixon the dog days of summer. Observation Area, watching When August arrives, planes take off overhead. I feel conflicted. There’s I figure if I fill August with a combined sense of special experiences, the hot hot-weather fatigue days will pass more quickly (“Look, kids, it’s only and I’ll have no reason for going to reach 93 degrees regret when the leaves start tomorrow—let’s plan to fall. This issue of Bay something outside before Weekly comes in the spirit of the high goes back up to Ice Queens Snowball Shop/Facebook seizing summer: Plant those 99 later in the week!”) and panic (“August!? But that’s almost Septem- vegetables! Have an at-home crab feast! Find ber. I’m not ready for summer to be over!”) that secret spot where the rockfish are biting!

is staying safe. Tropical Storm Isaias serves as a reminder of the power of an Atlantic hurricane season—not to mention the routine summer evening storms that could pop up on any given night. In a season when COVID-19 restrictions encourage us to spend more time outside than ever, we must be especially careful of the heat, at work and at play. Bay Weekly covers fun and safety for those of us squeezing the last juicy drops out of these warm months. What will you come up with for your August bucket list? In the spirit of changing seasons, Bay Weekly welcomes our newest advertising account manager, Heather Beard. She will take over for Audrey Broomfield, who said goodbye to Bay Weekly this week.

ISAIAS SPAWNS TORNADOES, FLOODING IN BAY REGION Southern Maryland is Hit Hard by Tropical Storm
M
ost people in the Chesapeake region are breathing a sigh of relief now that the threat of a damaging tropical storm is behind us. But others are still cleaning up from tornadoes, fallen trees and high water. At the height of the storm, the ports of Wilmington, Virginia, Baltimore and Delaware Bay were all shut down. The Bay Bridge was closed to all traffic, a measure the Maryland Transportation Authority only puts in effect when there are “sustained winds of 55 miles per hour for 10 minutes or wind gusts persistently exceed 55 mph over a period of 15 minutes.” The National Weather Service confirmed “numerous” tornadoes near the Bay, including two on the Delmarva Peninsula, three in Southern Maryland, and two confirmed by radar on Virginia’s Northern Neck. One of those in Southern Maryland was an EF-1 that touched down at 7:30 a.m. in North Dares Beach, with sustained winds of 90 miles per hour. Wind damage was reported to the National Weather Service in many parts of Bay Country, including Huntingtown and Londontowne. The worst winds brought a tree crashing down
onto a moving car in Mechanicsville, St. Mary’s County, killing the driver. Rain totals ranged from about two to an eye-popping nine inches (also in St. Mary’s County—in Sotterley along the Patuxent River). In Calvert County, Prince Frederick saw rainfall of 8.42 inches and Plum Point recorded 6.25 inches. Cape St. Claire registered Anne Arundel County’s highest rainfall total at 5.75 inches. Tropical storms don’t pass this close to the Chesapeake Bay often, and there’s no question Isaisas’ impact could have been worse. The predicted one- to three-foot storm surge was a far cry from Hurricane Isabel’s in 2003, which sent a storm surge from six to over eight feet over our waterfront cities and towns. But vulnerable places like Annapolis and Crisfield saw water up and over roadways. Near Annapolis City Dock, Compromise Street was shut down and the city warned drivers to, Turn around, don’t drown! Sandbags were handed out to businesses and residents ahead of the storm. Hurricane season isn’t over yet: September is the most active month for Atlantic hurricanes, and NOAA’s National Hurricane Center predicted this season to be above average.

BAY BULLETIN NEW UMD RESEARCH COULD EXTEND BAY CRABS’ SHELF LIFE
A
new research project aims to extend the shelf life of Chesapeake Bay blue crab meat, making the region’s seafood industry more competitive globally. In recent years, the U.S. blue crab industry has faced increasing competition from imports, especially Venezuelan fresh pre-cooked crab for its longer shelf life. The University of Maryland, College Park has secured nearly $300,000 through NOAA, from the 2020 Saltonstall-Kennedy Competitive Grants Program, to study a new crab meat processing technology. The goal? To help local seafood get back its market share. In a joint statement announcing the funding, U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen and Ben Cardin and Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (all D-Md.) said, “Few things are as iconic as the Chesapeake Bay blue crab, and its harvest is a cornerstone of Maryland’s local economies. This grant will expand the competitiveness of domestically produced crab meat in the face of intense foreign competition, and will help unlock new markets for an important Maryland industry.” The new high-pressure processing technology UMD is researching will extend shelf life of domestic crab products, while improving food safety and helping local watermen, processors and seafood sellers compete with for-

Outdoors Better for Virus Protection, But Not for Heat Illness BY JILLIAN AMODIO
W A record number of boats are competing in the 2020 White Marlin Open and a record $6.7 million purse is up for grabs.
WHITE MARLIN OPEN UNDERWAY WITH CHANGES DUE TO COVID-19 AND ISAIAS
O
cean City’s 47th White Marlin Open, the world’s largest billfish tournament, has officially begun with record turnout despite two large forces of nature working against it. An unprecedented 433 boats are entered to fish for a world record purse of $6.7 million, compared to 404 boats and a $6.1 million purse last year. And among the 433 boats is Catch 23, basketball legend Michael Jordan’s 80foot Viking sportfisher. Jordan was the talk of Ocean City
when he entered his boat in last year’s tournament. Catch 23 has already competed in one mid-Atlantic marlin tournament this summer, as Bay Bulletin reported in June. This bigger-than-ever White Marlin Open comes with some concessions to the coronavirus pandemic as well as Tropical Storm Isaias, which could pose a significant threat to the coast. To allow for safe distancing, spectators aren’t allowed at the docks for the tournament’s popular weigh-ins, which usually draw 5,000 people each night. Instead, the tournament has opened a new family-friendly viewing site at the 3rd Street Bayside Ballpark that will
6 • BAY WEEKLY • August 6 - August 13, 2020
show the live stream of the weigh-ins. Dubbed “Marlin Village,” the 3rd Street location will have White Marlin Open merchandise as well as other vendors. It will be open Monday through Friday. In light of storm predictions, the tournament’s fishing days have been extended by two days, allowing boats to fish through Sunday. Boats will still be allowed to fish on any three out of the seven days. Tournament President Jim Motsko suggested that many captains “feel the fish bite is better before a front goes through.” Those conditions may have been ripe ahead of Isaias. Some of 2019’s biggest success stories
ith the pandemic far from over and temperatures soaring, spending more time in the outdoors may come with an additional risk—the heat. A local paramedic says that there has been an increase in calls for heat-related illnesses especially among the elderly. The source stated that since the start of the pandemic “the older population has been trying to do more work for themselves and are spending more time outdoors than they usually would.” Area restaurant owners and their patrons are also striving to find a balance ensuring safe dining opportunities both in terms of social distancing and environmental factors. With many area restaurants offering limited, or in some cases, no dine-in options, they have turned to using or expanding their outdoor space or creating completely new spaces for outdoor dining. Summer is full of opportunities to enjoy these outdoor spaces, but you

Rik Squillari, owner of Harvest Thyme Modern Kitchen and Tavern in Davidsonville is doing everything he can to ensure his customers are taken care of. Outdoor dining is not something they typically offer, but under the circumstances Rik and his staff have added tables under the building’s awning with shade umbrellas. While the restaurant still offers limited indoor seating, Squillari says that many regulars who would usually prefer to sit inside have been choosing to dine outdoors. Squillari goes above and beyond for some of his older and at-risk customers who don’t do well in the heat or are nervous about being indoors. While the restaurant is currently not open for lunch he tells his customers that if they don’t feel comfortable dining indoors with others right now to give him a call: with 24 hours’ notice he will have lunch ready, giving them an opportunity to dine indoors before the restaurant opens to the public. Dr. Ron Elfenbein, owner of FirstCall Medical Center, says that as far as outdoor dining goes it’s all about looking at the big picture. Is it risky? The risk is higher than dining at home, but dining out can be done safely. In addition to suggestions of using hand sanitizer, wiping down tables, staff wearing masks, and proper distancing, he suggests restaurants use oscillating fans to circulate air as well as help keep
staff and patrons cool. Elfenbein cautions against mixing alcohol and heat and encourages diners to avoid alcoholic drinks when outdoors on hot days or, at the very least, to drink ice water as well. He suggests staff and customers use cooling towels on their necks, under the collar, or over their heads. “Heat illnesses do not discriminate. Young people can get overheated as well,” he says. And one factor you may not have thought about is the effect of wearing a mask on your body’s ability to cool. Elfenbein says that given that facial coverings are hot and sweaty many people do get dehydrated more quickly while wearing them and therefore need to ensure they are staying cool and taking in liquids. Those working outdoors must be especially careful stay on top of their hydration. Elfenbein advises, “Don’t wait until you’re thirsty. Drink water continuously throughout the day.”
Anne Arundel Makes Commitment to Clean, Green Vehicles BY KRISTA PFUNDER
A
greener Chesapeake may start with plugging in. Anne Arundel County will begin converting its fleet of vehicles to fully-electric models over the next few years in the name of efficiency, cost and environmental impacts.
Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman directed the office of Central Services to replace conventional vehicles in the fleet—which numbers more than 1,600—to more efficient models where possible. “We realized we don’t have a single hybrid vehicle in the fleet,” says Matt Johnston, Pittman’s environmental policy director. “We have an obligation to the environment, to citizens and the fiscal responsibility to at least get hybrid vehicles.” A hybrid vehicle uses a mixture of electric and fuel sources. “80 percent of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide are due to transportation,” says Elvia Thompson, president of Annapolis Green, an Annapolis-based non-profit advocating for electrification of cars, trucks, and buses to mitigate the effects of climate change. Thompson points out that the grid for electric vehicles already exists. “Utilities are preparing for the near future when electric vehicles will be the ride of choice for everyone,” she says. “The car and truck manufacturers, and even the bus manufacturers, are preparing. At the moment the upfront cost can be somewhat higher, depending on the model, but the long run operation of electric vehicles is cheaper.” Earlier this year, the Anne Arundel County Library installed five BGE electric vehicle charging stations outside of the Michael E. Busch Annapolis Library.
“The county is working with BGE to install a number of charging stations on publicly-owned property as part of a broader push to electrify transportation in the county,” Johnston says. The conversion of the fleet will be a gradual process. By 2032, all non-emergency light and medium-duty vehicles purchased must be all-electric models, and by 2037, all light and medium-duty emergency vehicles purchased must be all-electric models. “An item will be requested in the budget to study what it will take to service an all-electric fleet,” Johnston says. “It would include requirements such as training, charging and infrastructure.” The Office of Central Services has been tasked with producing an annual report with performance metrics and recommendations that will allow the program to be adapted as needed. The group will also develop strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from heavier vehicles such as vans, trucks and heavy equipment. “There is little to no maintenance and there is no expense for gasoline or diesel associated with electric vehicles,” Thompson says. “Best of all, though, is the benefit to the atmosphere and public health.” The State of Maryland agrees and is setting the pace. Maryland is committed to having 300,000 plug-in vehicles—currently, there are about 30,000 in the fleet—on the road by 2025. p

H E R E M AY B E nothing more iconic than a crab feast on a hot Maryland summer day. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, however, that feast is more likely taking place in your own backyard rather than a seafood restaurant.
Those who make their living bringing crabs to hungry customers have noticed a surge in demand, after a slow beginning to the season because of restaurant closures due to COVID-19. Waterman Ryan Mould of Shady Side says though wholesale numbers dipped, the season “has been very good for retail sales. Our retail business has doubled each month since May.” The public demand is notable. “Peo-
ple, especially in the Annapolis area, are purchasing crabs from farmers’ markets and having crab feasts at home versus going to eat in a crab house. In South County, where our farm stand is, there is more demand as well. At the farmers’ markets, we have a line at times that starts an hour before the market even opens,” says Mould. If you’re new to cracking crabs at home, we are here to help.

Crabs To-Go
Finding live or steamed crabs for purchase around Chesapeake Country is not a difficult task. You can find crabs in seafood markets, restaurants and roadside trucks all over the region, and support your local watermen or small seafood businesses at the same time. It’s important to choose wisely when selecting your crab dinner. If you are buying live crabs, look for lively activ-
ity. Until you are ready to cook, keep them in a cool, damp dark place. If you are buying them already cooked, do a sniff test. Steamed crabs should be firm-fleshed and sweet-smelling. If you want to know whether your crabs are true-blue from the Atlantic, simply ask when ordering. Smaller crabs are most likely to be locally caught, but the extra-large to jumbo sizes are often trucked in

from the Gulf in early summer. You can enjoy crabs this weekend by heading to the Annapolis Rotary Club’s Crab Feast To-Go event. A major social event that attracts thousands, the Crab Feast is normally held under tents at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Bay Weekly is a proud media sponsor year in and year out. Due to the coronavirus, this year’s
feast is take-out only. You can place crab orders online, then pick up your dinner in a drive-thru line to take home. Choose from a bushel, a half bushel, or one or two dozen crabs, plus corn on the cob. Crabs will be steamed onsite at the stadium and packaged for travel. Rotarians and volunteers (wearing protective equipment) will direct traffic and provide
customers with their orders as they drive through designated lanes in the parking lot. All crab feast proceeds go to local charities—last year’s feast raised $45,000 and was awarded in the form of grants to 21 organizations. Pickups will be between 4:307pm. Find more information at: www.annapolisrotary.org/crabfeast.
Cook What You Catch
For the freshest possible crabs, of course, you can catch them yourself— following the lead of plenty of folks in Bay country who have picked up crabbing during the pandemic. Local crabbing supply shops are having trouble keeping up with demand as recreational crabbers flock to the water.

“I can’t keep a trotline or pull traps (topless traps) in supply for more than a day or so,” reports Daniel Mallonee owner of Bay Country Crabbing Supply in Edgewater. “I’ve got a two- to
three-week backorder on our traps, which we build ourselves.” Mallonee says he has seen a surge in people going crabbing, both from shore and onboard a boat. “I think everyone’s trying to do what they can to get out of the house and also to do for themselves as much as possible.” With crabbing, he says it’s all about trial and error. “Crabs are out there

but there are a lot of small ones out there right now, because of that dead zone out in the Bay. If you have the means to catch your own, go do that.” But if you’ve never tried to harvest your own dinner, you may need some pointers. You don’t need fancy equipment or permits. Maryland allows a recreational crabber up to two dozen crabs,
caught by net or handline, without a license. So, you won’t need much more than chicken necks for bait and a few quiet hours on the Bay or its rivers. Cotton twine works well for your hand line, plus an inexpensive crabbing net, a ruler to measure your crabs and a basket to hold your catch. Consider tongs or thick gloves for protection against pinchers. Tie a chicken
Even Bay Weekly’s staff love to catch (and eat) crabs. Top to bottom: Ad rep Audrey Broomfield measures crabs during a chartered boat trip with ad rep Susan Nolan’s family. The Nolan children, Elizabeth and Thomas, each tried their hand at netting crabs.
Time to Feast
Now that you’ve caught your crabs (or bought them), it’s time to prepare for a feast. A good estimate for how many you will need, is generally six large crabs per person (though some marathon crab-eaters can put away many more). Marylanders steam crabs, never boil. You’ll need a large pot with a separate steamer section. Tongs or gloves will keep you from getting pinched. Soak the crabs in ice water for about five minutes so they can be handled easily and stacked compactly in your pot. Pour a beer plus a half-cup of vinegar into your pot, and steam at least 20 minutes—but not more than 30 minutes—until their shells turn bright red and the air fragrant. Use newspapers to cover your table— we suggest old Bay Weeklies. (If you need extra, send us a message through social media or email—seriously!) Dump the crabs onto the paper, mist them with water or beer and sprinkle generously with your favorite crab seasoning. Provide your guests extra seasoning, small knives and mallets for opening and picking the crabs. Some swear by melted butter and vinegar for dipping, while purists reject the notion. Add a roll of paper towels for hand-wiping. We won’t get into the long debate over the best way to get to the meat. Mallonee swears by the knife method he learned from his great-grandmother, a professional crab picker. “I can clean a dozen in five minutes,” he boasts. What more do you need? Maybe good crusty bread, corn on the cob and watermelon. Tag us in your crab feast photos— complete with Bay Weekly crab paper— using #BayWeeklyGetsCrabby. p
neck to a 15-foot line of string, tie the other to the pier or other structure, then toss it into the water. When your line straightens out, you’ve got a crab. Gently pull it towards you, and if you’re careful, the crab will hold on until it nears the surface of the water. Be ready with your net. Position the net in the water a foot or two down below where you believe the
crab will appear. (A crab will always flee downward.) Pull the crab up until you can see it and scoop quickly from below. Measure your crab before he goes into the basket—at least five inches tip to tip. All females, distinguished by their triangle-shaped apron on the underside, must be returned to the water.

SPORTING LIFE
BY DENNIS DOYLE
Hot Weather Dodges for Rockfish T his time of year, there is hardly time enough to fish in the mornings before the sun becomes your own personal broiler element. Even with a boat’s top cover, within very few hours you’ll be yearning for home port and a cool shower. Rockfish especially will be unpredictable and difficult to locate as they continually seek comfortable water temperatures and breathable oxygen levels as they cruise for prey. There are some fortuitous indicators, however, that you should be aware of in your search. They just may save you some time. Underwater springs can provide invisible honey holes along channel valleys in the Bay. They’re very difficult to locate so you’ve got to pay attention. In shallower waters an odd current break or ripple pattern on a
calm day can indicate a below surface influx of water. Watch your finder, a sudden localized drop in water temperature can definitely indicate something going on below. An underwater spring means two things, cooler water and lots of oxygen. In the heat of summer, that combination can be better than gold. A spring vent provides a consistently comfortable oasis in an area that is otherwise an aquatic version of a hot, barren desert. It’s virtually impossible to find such a location if you’re not looking for it. Be sure to mark an area if you’re suspicious at all. It will be extremely difficult to find it again otherwise. An important but much less subtle feature along the Bay’s summer shoreline is shadow. That’s tree line shad-
FISHFINDER: The best bite for stripers is still well north of the Bay Bridge though Podickery has begun producing some fish as has Hacketts. The hottest tip for August though is that rockfish season will be closed in the Chesapeake Bay from August 16 thru the end of the month. There will be a stiff fine for anyone possessing striped bass during the last half of August. Catch and release is also prohibited. Removing a striper from the water when air temps are in the high 90s is akin to a death sentence. The season remains open for perch and catfish with no minimum size nor possession limits and Spanny Macks (Spanish mackerel) have already begun showing up around Thomas Point Light so there is still something to chase on the Bay. Fast trolling Clark Spoons and throwing Kastmasters are the traditional methods of getting some tasty mackerel fillets, minimum size 14 inches, possession limit 15 and head and fins must remain intact while on board. Crabbing continues to improve, though not everywhere. Keep looking and you’ll finally fill your basket.

ow and structure shadow: boathouses; large piers; docks and bulkheads. Shadow provides cooler temps and—more importantly in shallow water—security. Every fish that grows up in the Chesapeake is familiar with the osprey. Even fish grown too big to fear the birds never lose the terror of an aerial attack but they also know the safety in that shade, they’re invisible there. Shoreside creeks and ponds
Look for them, sitting on the water in groups or hovering above the surface. They’re fishing too, see much better than you and even if there are just a few of them and they’re only resting in a small area, it is usually for the same reason you’re there. Dark patches of shimmering water can also indicate a small school of peanut bunker this time of year. There’s a good chance some predatory fish will be lurk-
Watch your finder, a sudden localized drop in water temperature can definitely indicate something going on below. with waters sheltered from the sun by dense tree overhang can also carry cooler, oxygenated H2O along with grass shrimp, minnows and crabs out into the Bay on falling tides. The entrance source to the Bay may not be obvious along a wooded or overgrown shoreline so refer to area maps for clues and always keep them in mind. Other inflow sources may not be so obvious; never pass up throwing baits to any kind of drainage pipes channeling rainfall from shoreline areas. Along with the cooler water there may be baitfish and shrimp holding nearby waiting for detritus and insects to be carried out to them and that will attract rockfish. Birds, birds, birds, seabirds that it.

ing nearby hoping for a snack. Always throw around (not into) these areas and let your bunker sized lures (three to four inches) sink on some retrieves. Bigger rockfish prefer to be deeper. And remember, even one lone heron can be an indicator. Not always, but often enough, I’ve gotten a nice keeper off of bulkhead with a feathered blue sentinel patiently perched on top or nearby lurking ominously in the shade of a bridge support. A pair of stabilized binoculars of at least seven power are a wonderful aid for locating them (as well as noticing the other clues). And apologize in advance for the disturbance. If you catch a fish, it is rude to steal a meal. p

STORY AND PHOTOS BY WAYNE BIERBAUM
On the Hunt for the Giant Leopard Moth I n the summer, streetlights and outdoor house lights attract moths. They fly toward the source of light as they normally would fly toward the moon in order to find the opposite sex or just to travel. In the morning, tired or newly emerged moths can be found near the light. Birds, frogs, toads, lizards, raccoons, opossums and other moth eaters know of this phenomenon and sometimes all that is left in the morning are wings. I take a few moments each summer’s day to check around the lights at home and at work. I have found some very interesting critters that way. One of the prettiest is the rosy maple moth, which looks like an old flamboyant Elvis Presley. The most dramatic is the giant leopard moth. They should be called a
snowy leopard moth as their coloration is black circles or dots on a white background. They have thick turquoise alternating with orange bars on their abdomen but those colors are usually hidden under their wings. The leopard moth is the end result of a woolly bear caterpillar. It seems in the fall that these caterpillars are everywhere as they look for a place to spend the winter. In the far north they have only one brood, in our area there is frequently two with the second overwintering in a cocoon. The caterpillars feed on many species of plants and seem to have a preference for plants that are toxic or noxious to other animals. This gives them some defense but is does not work against parasitic wasps which
Giant leopard moth
Rosy maple moth
are their major predator. The wasp lays eggs on the caterpillar and the developing larva consumes the host. Only the males seem attracted to artificial light so to find a mate the males follow the female’s scent, pheromones. The females are just too smart to fall for that artificial stuff. I
like to see what the lights attract each night but I also worry that the lights are causing harm to the animals as they do get injured running into the light and the wall. If you share my concern, consider putting up lights that do not attract moths or simply turn them off at night. ﵭ

OK, Time for Okra f you planted okra this year, your old growth should be forming now. Okra is in the malvaceae or mallows family of plants. Elegant and exotic might be used to describe members of the mallow family with their dazzling beautiful flowers. Underneath the beauty of the flowers you’ll find potent medicines and nutrients that have benefited human health for centuries. Some of the most distinguished mellow plants are marshmallow, hollyhock, Linden tree, hibiscus, cacao and cotton. Okra loves hot weather and matures quickly when the thermometer peaks. I have harvested from my plants every day. A lot of people don’t like okra because of its slimy or mucilaginous nature. It’s great in gumbo or stews because it helps thicken them and the sliminess is undetectable. Okra contains a compound that shows promise for fighting cancer and heart disease. Glutathione in okra acts as a powerful antioxidant which prevents free radicals from damaging healthy cells and cause them to become cancerous. In addition, glutathione prevents carcinogens from damaging DNA. It may also help the body excrete cancer-causing chemicals into the urine and out of the body. Studies have shown that people with the highest intake of glutathione were 50 percent less likely to develop oral and throat cancers. Okra also has healthful nutrients
I
like vitamin C, calcium and potassium and it’s very low in calories. There’s a good source of two kinds of fiber in okra, soluble and insoluble. The soluble fiber helps lowers cholesterol and control symptoms of diabetes. The insoluble fiber or roughage may help reduce the risk of colon cancer and constipation. Gumbo’s predecessor was okra soup with clear ties to West Africa, especially Senegal’s soupikandia, an okrathickened soupy stew. Okra soup was prepared by enslaved cooks and then quickly adapted into the food and culture of the American South, but it was clearly the creation of enslaved Africans. To make okra soup; heat a Dutch oven with 4 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add a small chopped onion, 2 tablespoons parsley, one clove garlic, minced and 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add 4 cups chicken broth, 3 cups water, 3½ cups of diced fresh tomatoes and 2 cups of okra cut into small pieces. Add 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, ¼ teaspoon each of mace, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add 2 cups of cooked rice and mix well. Enjoy. ﵭ

W
hen her powerful banker father dies, Lauren Monroe (Lily Collins: Tolkien) loses any hope of reconciling with him. Instead of furthering the family dynasty, Lauren chose to become the district attorney of New York City; not shabby for a woman who’s barely 30, but not as prestigious as the litigation career her father pushed for. Her rebellion cost her dearly, with her politician brother receiving the lion’s share of her father’s estate. Lauren, however, never wanted her father’s money. She simply wanted to feel connected to him, to know him better than she felt she did. Be careful what you wish for. After the funeral, Lauren is handed an envelope containing a key and a short video from her father. The key unlocks a family secret that must remain buried. Though she and her father argued, Lauren is the only person he can trust with the knowledge. It turns out, for 30 years, Lauren’s father has kept a man chained in a bunker on their property. The man, Morgan (Simon Pegg: The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance), claims he is an innocent victim of her father’s quest for status and power. Morgan begins to tell Lauren ugly truths about her father, secrets and lies that could ruin her brother’s career and break her mother’s heart. Lauren must decide if she’s willing to compromise her moral code so that she can spare her family. Can she trust Morgan? And would releasing him destroy her family? Every now and then, when you review movies you see one so bad that you need a witness to verify what exactly you’re seeing. Someone to tell you that the film you’ve watched isn’t some sort of fever dream, but is, in fact, utter trash. Such is the case with Inheritance, a movie so poorly executed in every capacity that I enlisted Mr. Moviegoer to suffer through it with me to confirm what I was seeing. I would not watch it again even if I stood to inherit the fortune the Monroes are obsessed with. Director Vaughn Stein (Terminal) captures the lush mansions and smart tailoring intrinsic to the upper echelons, but fails to craft any tension. Even in the shadowy bunker, the film manages to take the intrigue out of each scene. There are odd montages that are
Lily Collins in Inheritance supposed to showcase Lauren’s state of mind, but they’re merely shots of Collins yelling in different rooms of the house. Stein is hampered by a truly dismal debut script from Matthew Kennedy that features predictable twists, wildly lucky coincidences, and laughable dialogue. The motivations of every character make no sense, plot lines are dropped, and the key mystery is so bizarre it beggars belief. It’s a mess from beginning to end. Other problems with the film are the leading performances. Collins, who has managed charming performances in a few romantic comedies is utterly lost in this inane thriller. Collins’ Lauren is supposed to be the district attorney of New York, tough as nails and utterly ruthless when faced with a problem. So it’s confusing when she falls to pieces constantly throughout the film. Lauren has two moods: blank and hysteria. If she’s not screaming weirdly into the abyss, she’s pouting at Pegg like a small child. It’s amazing she had the ability to get
any convictions in the courtroom. While Collins is out of her depth, Pegg is on a whole other planet. Chewing through the scenery like a colony of termites, Pegg offers up a Hannibal Lecter impression that would be more fitting for a Family Guy cut-away gag than a feature film. The bulk of his dialogue is Pegg reciting a Key lime pie recipe from memory. It is supposed to speak to Morgan’s determined, manic mind, but comes across as a man memorizing his shopping list. It’s an embarrassing performance from an actor capable of excellent work. Though the film is a failure on almost every level, it did have one bright point: it fell under two hours. If you’re looking for a zippy thriller to watch, consider screening the immeasurably better Knives Out! which is available for free and will not leave you with a migraine. This movie is available to rent on Amazon Prime, but burning your $5 rental fee will provide you with more entertainment. Horrendous Thriller * NR * 111 mins.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In her book Sticks, Stones, Roots & Bones, Stephanie Rose Bird reports that among early African Americans, there were specialists who spoke the language of trees. These patient magicians developed intimate relationships with individual trees, learning their moods and rhythms, and even exchanging non-verbal information with them. Trees imparted wisdom about herbal cures, weather patterns, and ecologically sound strategies. Until recently, many scientists might have dismissed this lore as delusion. But in his 2016 book The Hidden Life of Trees, forester Peter Wohlleben offers evidence that trees have social lives and do indeed have the power to converse. I’ve always said that you Aries folks have great potential to conduct meaningful dialogs with animals and trees. And now happens to be a perfect time for you to seek such invigorating pleasures.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Author Joanne Harris writes, “The right circumstances sometimes happen of their own accord, slyly, without fanfare, without warning. The magic of everyday things.” I think that’s an apt oracle for you to embrace during the coming weeks. In my opinion, life will be conspiring to make you feel at home in the world. You will have an excellent opportunity to get your personal rhythm into close alignment with the rhythm of creation. And so you may achieve a version of what mythologist Joseph Campbell called “the goal of life”: “to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.”
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Author Gloria Anzaldúa writes, “I am an act of kneading, of uniting and joining.” She adds that in this process, she has become “a creature that questions the definitions of light and dark and gives them new meanings.” I would love for you to engage in similar work right now, Gemini. Life will be on your side— bringing you lucky breaks and stellar insights—if you undertake the heroic work of reformulating the meanings of “light” and “dark”—and then reshaping the way you embody those primal forces.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Pleasure is one of the most important things in life, as important as food or drink,” wrote Cancerian author Irving Stone. I would love for you to heed that counsel, my fellow Crabs. What he says is always true, but it will be extraordinarily meaningful for you to take to heart during the coming weeks. Here’s how you could begin: Make a list of seven experiences that bring you joy, bliss, delight, fun, amusement, and gratification. Then make a vow—even write an oath on a piece of paper—to increase the frequency and intensity of those experiences.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): At times in our lives, it’s impractical to be innocent and curious and blank and receptive. So many tasks require us to be knowledgeable and self-assured and forceful and in control. But according to my astrological analysis, the coming weeks will be a time when you will benefit from the former state of mind: cultivating what Zen Buddhists call “beginner’s mind.” The Chinese refer to it as chu xin, or the mind of a novice. The Koreans call it the eee mok oh? approach, translated as “What is this?” Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield defines it as the “don’t-know mind.” During this upcoming phase, I invite you to enjoy the feeling of being at peace with all that’s mysterious and beyond your understanding.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” Author Anne Lamott wrote that, and now I’m conveying it to you—just in time for the Unplug-Yourself Phase of your astrological cycle. Any glitches or snafus you may be dealing with right now aren’t as serious as you might imagine. The biggest problem seems to be the messy congestion that has accumulated over time in your links to sources that usually serve you pretty well. So if you’ll simply disconnect for a while, I’m betting that clarity and grace will be restored when you reconnect.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Have you been saving any of your tricks for later? If so, later has arrived. Have you been postponing flourishes and climaxes until the time was right? If so, the coming days will be as right a time as there can be. Have you been waiting and waiting for the perfect moment before making use of favors that life owes you and promises that were made to you? If so, the perfect moment has arrived. Have you been wondering when you would get a ripe opportunity to express and highlight the most interesting truths about yourself? If so, that opportunity is available.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I learned to make my mind large, as the universe is large, so that there is room for paradoxes,” writes Scorpio author Maxine Hong Kingston. That would be an excellent task for you to work on in the coming weeks. Here are your formulas for success: 1. The more you expand your imagination, the better you’ll understand the big picture of your present situation—and the more progress you will make toward creating the most interesting possible future. 2. The more comfortable you are about dwelling in the midst of paradoxes, the more likely it is that you will generate vigorous decisions that serve both your own needs and the needs of your allies.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Some people will never like you because your spirit irritates their demons,” says actor and director Denzel Washington. “When you shine bright, some won’t enjoy the shadow you cast,” says rapper and activist Talib Kweli. You may have to deal with reactions like those in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. If you do, I suggest that you don’t take it personally. Your job is to be your radiant, generous self—and not worry about whether anyone has the personal power necessary to handle your radiant, generous self. The good news is that I suspect you will stimulate plenty of positive responses that will more than counterbalance the challenging ones.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn occultist Peter J. Carroll tells us, “Some have sought to avoid suffering by avoiding desire. Thus they have only small desires and small sufferings.” In all of the zodiac, you Capricorns are among the least likely to be like that. One of your potential strengths is the inclination to cultivate robust desires that are rooted in a quest for rich experience. Yes, that sometimes means you must deal with more strenuous ordeals than other people. But I think it’s a wise trade-off. In any case, my dear, you’re now in a phase of your cycle when you should take inventory of your yearnings. If you find there are some that are too timid or meager, I invite you to either drop them or pump them up.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The people who live in the town of Bazoule, Burkina Faso regard the local crocodiles as sacred. They live and work amidst the 100+ creatures, co-existing peacefully. Kids play within a few feet of them, never worrying about safety. I’d love to see you come to similar arrangements with untamed influences and strong characters in your own life, Aquarius. You don’t necessarily have to treat them as sacred, but I do encourage you to increase your empathy and respect for them.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your body naturally produces at least one quart of mucus every day. You might not be aware of it, because much of it glides down your throat. Although you may regard this snot as gross, it’s quite healthy. It contains antibodies and enzymes that kill harmful bacteria and viruses. I propose we regard mucus as your prime metaphor in the coming weeks. Be on the alert for influences and ideas that might empower you even if they’re less than beautiful and pleasing. Make connections with helpful influences even if they’re not sublimely attractive. What helpful tip might one of your wise ancestors offer you about how to thrive in the coming months?

COMPILED BY ANDREWS M MEEL SYNDICATION Cliches Come to Life Gabriel and Tracy Brawn moved into Gabriel’s childhood home in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, in 2012 and enjoyed a warm relationship with next-door neighbor Steve Ritter, whose garage had been partially built on the Brawns’ property decades ago. But after Ritter passed away in 2016, his wife and grown children took over the property, sometimes renting it out, and “this place turned to craziness and chaos,” Tracy Brawn told the Bangor Daily News on July 16, leading finally to Gabriel Brawn grabbing his Sawzall on May 26 and cutting the Ritters’ garage in half, right down the property line. “We’re putting up a fence,” Tracy Brawn said. “Fences make good neighbors.” Dover-Foxcroft police Chief Ryan Reardon said, “We were aware of the situation and believe it’s been resolved at this point.”
Latest Alarming Headlines A roving gang of baboons in Knowsley Safari Park in Merseyside, England is known to vandalize cars and otherwise alarm visitors, but lately, The Sunday Times reported, they’ve been seen carrying knives, screwdrivers and a chain saw, which workers believe they’ve acquired from visitors. “We’re not sure if they are being given weapons by some of the guests ... or if they’re fishing them out of pickup trucks and vans,” an employee said. Park officials have pooh-poohed the reports, saying, “We believe that many of these stories have grown in exaggeration as they’ve been retold.”
Predictable A $64,000 glass replica of a Disney castle on display at the Shanghai Museum of Glass in China was shattered in July after two kids “hit the exhibit counter when they were chasing each other,” a museum spokesperson posted on Weibo. The Today Show reported Spanish glassblower Miguel Arribas spent 500 hours creating The Fantasy Castle in 2016, but “luckily it’s not destroyed,” said Arribas Brothers company spokesman Rudy Arribas. When COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, Miguel will go to Shanghai to repair the castle. “We’re used to kids and this kind of stuff happening,” said Rudy. “Glass breaks.”
Lost and Found • Chris Marckres of Hyde Park, Vermont, went skydiving on July 25, but, he told NECN, “I think my adrenaline was so high and I was just so excited, I didn’t realize I had lost it.” “It” was one of Marckres’ two prosthetic legs. The double

police on July 26 when they couldn’t reach King, who had recently reported being threatened with a samurai sword by a man he rented a room to, according to an arrest warrant. The Hartford Courant reported that first responders arriving at the house on Asylum Avenue found King’s body, badly slashed and decapitated. Police began a search for the renter, Jerry David Thompson, who was soon found and arrested, but refused to cooperate with detectives, referring them instead to paperwork in his car indicating he believes himself to be a sovereign citizen and therefore not subject to the law. He was arraigned on July 28 and held on $2 million bail.

Awesome! amputee was harnessed to an instructor and landed safely, but he didn’t know where the leg ended up. His plea for help on Facebook was answered the next day by farmer Joe Marszalkowski, who found the prosthetic in his soybean field. Marckres said the leg suffered a few scratches but was otherwise unharmed. “We kind of take for granted sometimes how many truly good people there still are in the world,” he mused. • Mike Evans of Woodson Terrace, Missouri, went for a 5-mile float trip with friends on the Meramec River on July 25 and decided to get out of the raft and walk behind it in the water for a bit. As the water got deeper, he had to swim to catch the raft, and as he climbed back in, Evans discovered his prosthetic leg was gone, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. He searched with no luck, but a Missouri state trooper responding to a call nearby heard about the loss and coordinated a dive team to help. It took divers a couple of hours the next day to find the leg, saving Evans about $27,000 to replace it. “It was a happy ending to a stressful few days,” Evans said. • After Christian Meyer of Berlin, Germany, lost his running shoes to a thief, he posted a notice on a community sharing platform and learned other residents had also lost shoes that were left outside. Meyer soon discovered the culprit, telling local media on July 26 that he caught a fox “red-handed” with a pair of blue flipflops in its mouth and eventually found its stash of more than 100 multicolored shoes, according to Fox News. Meyer’s shoes, however, were not among them.

A Gwinnett County (Georgia) Sheriff ’s deputy is recovering at home thanks to three inmates who came to his rescue. The unnamed inmates noticed the deputy didn’t seem well as he conducted security checks, the sheriff ’s office said in a July 28 statement, and then saw him lose consciousness and fall to the floor, “splitting his head open.” The inmates began shouting and banging on their doors, which roused the deputy enough that he “thought an inmate needed help and somehow managed to rise to his feet and press the control panel to open cell doors.” The inmates rushed out and called for assistance as the deputy lost consciousness again, the Gwinnett Daily Post reported. “These inmates had no obligation whatsoever to render aid to a bleeding, vulnerable deputy, but they didn’t hesitate,” the sheriff ’s office said. “We’re proud of them.”

Inexplicable Out for an early morning stroll on July 27, Mariel Kinney, 32, and Kevin Pinto, 30, drew the attention of residents in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, who called police to report a naked couple walking their dog down the street, authorities said. “It was kind of wild,” Police Chief Joseph Bennett told the Milford Daily News. “They were buck naked.” Officers asked the couple why they weren’t wearing clothes, but they declined to answer or were incoherent, Bennett said, and “(t)here was a short foot pursuit.” After a struggle, they were captured and charged with indecent exposure and assault and battery on a police officer, along with other crimes. ﵭ
