Chesapeake Mysteries Past & Present

his past week in Anne Arundel County, something odd happened. No, I’m not talking about the first day of virtual school, when Facebook was flooded with photos of children in their pajamas, ready to sit at home with a laptop all day (though we’d find that odd any other September). And I’m not referring to the EF1 tornado that ripped through Edgewater while the entire state was under tornado watches (though that was a surprise to many, and its aftermath is still impacting the community, as you’ll see in our cover story). The odd thing I’m talking about happened in the South River. Multiple reports came in from folks claiming they’d seen a burial casket floating near the water’s surface. A somewhat convincing photo

quickly circulated on social media of a casket-shaped object covered with barnacles. The Department of Natural Resources went on a hunt for the alleged coffin. What did they discover? You’ll have to read the Bay Bulletin report on page 6 to find out. The casket was not the first mysterious sighting in the waters of the Chesapeake, as we well know. There’s also the legend of Chessie the Sea Monster, less The Addams Family and more Creature from the Black Lagoon. There are more than 80 (unconfirmed) Chessie sightings dating back to the 1930s. The witness accounts usually describe some version of a massive sea snake, a foot or more thick and at least 20 feet long. A few describe a football-shaped head. In the 1980s, the heyday of Chessie sightings, some saw “humps” reminiscent

of the images of the Loch Ness Monster, while others liken what they saw to a moving telephone pole. Chessie must have covered a lot of ground, as sightings came from the Elk River on the upper Bay all the way down to the East River in Virginia’s Middle Peninsula, and dozens of waterways in between. Growing up on local waters in the ‘80s and ‘90s, I was naturally fascinated by these reports. My favorite version of the story was pure fiction: Jeff Holland’s song and accompanying picture book, Chessie, the Sea Monster that Ate Annapolis. In this clever rhyming tale published in 1990, Chessie is a giant Chesapeake Bay retriever, not a monster at all. As the story goes: She was big enough to have been Moby Dick’s daughter; her head was still dry in five fathoms of

water; she made six foot wakes with a wag of her tail, and she slept on a bed made from spinnaker sails. As for the “real” serpentine Chessie, the last recorded sighting was in the Magothy River in 2014—the firsthand eyewitness account given directly to Bay Weekly. (Fascinating stuff, and you can still read it at https://bayweekly.com/chasing-chessie/). Where has Chessie been for the last six years? The question is about as easy to answer as the question of how a burial casket could wind up in the South River. But in 2020, when odd things are known to happen, the return of Chessie wouldn’t be a stretch. p — MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM NEWS DIRECTOR

BAY BRIDGE STUDY REVEALS FRONTRUNNER IN NEW BRIDGE LOCATION BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

multi-year study on building a new Bay Bridge crossing in Maryland has taken another step forward. All but three proposed locations have been officially eliminated, and one of the three remaining options rises to the top: building an additional span alongside the existing Bay Bridge. Funded by toll dollars, the Bay Crossing study was ordered by Governor Larry Hogan to solve the frequent major congestion at the Bay Bridge, Maryland’s only Chesapeake Bay crossing. This is “Tier 1” of the study. It started in 2016 and is expected to be finished in 2021. In the Chesapeake Bay Crossing Alternatives Report completed in July, a screening focused on “the level of demand for each corridor alternative” and

whether each option would divert traffic away from the existing Bay Bridge. Using traffic metrics, the report found a “clear pattern” that the most effective locations for diverting traffic

away from the existing bridge are those closest to it. All three originate in Anne Arundel County on the western shore and in Queen Anne’s or Talbot counties on the Eastern shore, each within

a few miles of the existing bridge. The report notes that the option known as “Corridor 7,” closest to the bridge, is the shortest overall distance that wouldn’t cause major effects on the Eastern shore and the environment. The report says, “Corridor 7 has demonstrated the greatest overall ability to meet the Purpose and Need,” and that Corridor 7 has advantages over the other two crossings still under consideration, including better congestion relief and backup reduction at the existing bridge, best diversion route, and better compatibility with existing land-use patterns. However, all three Anne Arundel County corridors are recommended to be carried forward for further evaluation. A series of open houses hosted by the Maryland Transportation Authority in fall 2019 reinforced the emphasis on reducing congestion, the report states. Members of the public ranked “reducing congestion” as a high priority for identifying possible crossings.

Indeed, drivers crossing the Bay Bridge from the Eastern shore to the western shore faced 10-mile backups on the afternoon of Labor Day this Monday. Even so, not everyone wants to see a new bridge crossing. The Eastern Shore Land Conservancy tells Bay Bulletin it “opposes a new span in any location which exclusively considers automobile traffic.” Communications Manager Darius Johnson says, “the recommendations proposed are 20th-century solutions to a 21st-century management issue.” He cites the recently implemented cashless tolling as an example of solutions that minimize impact on the Eastern Shore’s communities, landscape, and “climate vulnerabilities.” The leader of Anne Arundel County also opposes a new crossing. County Executive Steuart Pittman said in a statement last year, “Any of the three options will be severely disruptive to existing communities and sensitive environmental areas. All three options could destroy parks along the Chesapeake Bay, at a time when we are trying to expand public water access.”

Quiet Waters Park Commemorative Poster Celebrate the anniversary of the beloved park and help fund the Friends of Quiet Water’s Park Nature Center by purchasing your poster today! Quiet Waters Park opened in September of 1990. Now, three decades later the park attracts over one million visitors a year. The crown jewel of our park system has been established as a beloved haven of sanctuary and sanity for its patrons, who praise its paths, forested groves, tucked-away gardens and spectacular water views. In celebration of the park’s 30th anniversary, a commemorative poster that highlights the cherished features of the park was created by local artist Joe Barsin. Joe’s artistic work is prevalent throughout the Mid-Atlantic region to include his Maryland “Treasure the Chesapeake” license plate and art for Anne Arundel Medical Center’s Fish for a Cure, Annapolis Film Festival, Downtown Annapolis Partnership and more. The commemorative posters are on sale at the Quiet Water’s Park Visitors Center Monday thru Friday from 10 am - 3 pm. Additionally, on Saturdays September 12, 19, and 26, from 12 - 2 pm, the Visitors Center will be open for an anniversary historical display, videos, and featured art sales. September 12 will feature a ‘Meet the Artist’ session with Joe Barsin.

The commemorative poster is available for purchase in two sizes for $15.00 and $5.00. A limited amount of posters numbered and signed by the artist cost $30.00. All sales benefit the Friends of Quiet Waters Park Nature Center. September 10 - September 17, 2020 • BAY WEEKLY • 5

FLOATING”CASKET” MYSTERY SOLVED BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

he photos looked almost fake as they spread on social media: the distinct shape of a burial casket floating partially above the surface of the South River, covered in barnacles as though it had been submerged awhile. On the Friends of Annapolis Facebook page, some neighbors speculated the possible casket was very old, and had fallen

victim to erosion eating away at a waterside cemetery. Others wondered if it could have come from Historic London Town. Neither theory turned out to be true, much to the relief of many. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) hydrographic operations team, which handles floating hazards and debris, and Natural Resources Police, responded to check out the coffin reports. DNR found that it was actually part of a floating dock and pulled it out of the water off Church Creek. Arundel Rivers Federation posted photos of the mystery

object’s removal, remarking in a Facebook post, “We are happy that this can be laid to rest. (Get it? )”. South, West, and Rhode Riverkeeper Jesse Iliff tells Bay Bulletin, “While Arundel Rivers have experienced our fair share of river mysteries, this was a new one for us! We dismissed the early claims as a hoax, but then enough people had seen it, that we needed to take it seriously.” Sullivan goes on to point out, “We were glad to have it removed before someone hit it this Labor Day weekend and got them or their boat injured!”

MD. APPROVES $1.8 MILLION FOR ADAPTIVE BOATING CENTER BY STEVE ADAMS

hesapeake Region Accessible Boating (CRAB) is one step closer to building its Adaptive Boating Center, a project more than three years in the making, and ground may be broken as soon as December. The Maryland Board of Public Works approved $1.8 million in State of Maryland Program Open Space funding for the City of Annapolis to acquire a marina property on Back Creek in Annapolis last week. Following the unanimous 3–0 vote and its anticipated approval by the Annapolis City Council later this month, the City will add a $450,000 State Capital Grant to the funding to purchase what is currently the Port Williams Marina, located at 7040 Bembe Beach Road, for $2.25 million. It will then lease the property to CRAB, which will be able to break ground on the Adaptive Boating Center. “CRAB’s goal has always been to provide greater access to the Bay for people with disabilities,” says CRAB Executive Director Paul “Bo” Bollinger, who watched a live video of the much-awaited vote from a room inside City Hall, and immediately celebrated it with what he confirmed was his first high-five since March. “The ABC will allow us to continue and build upon our 29-year legacy, and this vote will allow us to hopefully break ground on what will be a premier ADA facility in December.” It will also allow CRAB, which has op-

CRAB hopes to break ground on its new Adaptive Boating Center in December, thanks to state approval of $1.8 million in funding. Photo: CRAB erated out of a single slip at Sandy Point State Park since it began operating, to better meet its mission. “The new location will give us direct access to the water, which is far less rough than Sandy Point’s, and allow us to provide what will truly be on-demand service to our guests for the first time, because our office will be right there,” said Bollinger. Through its new location and facility, a floating marina with 16 slips, CRAB will expand not only the size of its sailing fleet but also the diversity of its inclusive water recreation options to include a wheelchair accessible pontoon boat, rowing, paddle boarding, wakeboarding, canoeing, and kayaking. It will also broaden its educational programs, which will be offered year-round,

and create employment and training opportunities for people with disabilities and local youth. Guests will even be able to earn state boating licenses and national sailing certifications, a long-held goal of CRAB, for the first time. “We welcome CRAB to Ward 7,” said Alderman Rob Savidge. “This facility fits in perfectly in our ward and will be an incredible asset to the city and county, ensuring equal access to sailing on our beautiful waters.” “This will be a tremendous amenity for Annapolis and another reason people call us the ‘Sailing Capital,’” echoed Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley. “I am happy that we can make adaptive sailing a priority.” To learn more about CRAB and the ABC, visit www.crabsailing.org.

New Lacrosse League Debuts in Anne Arundel BY STEVE ADAMS

early five months after they saw their spring seasons canceled by COVID, lacrosse players in Anne Arundel County have a chance to get in some safe, serious competition in 2020 thanks to a brand new league: the Fall Anne Arundel Lacrosse League (FAALL). Hosted in partnership with Anne Arundel County Recreation and Parks, Legendary Sports Group (LSG), HoganLax and QuickStix, FAALL will allow boys and girls youth, club, and high school teams to face off in a seven-game season that will begin on Sept. 20 and culminate with championship games Nov. 8. “I felt bad for the high school athletes who missed their spring seasons and, being a former coach, I knew how tough it was for the coaches to go into the next season without seeing the kids play at all,” said David Cottle, LSG’s senior lacrosse advisor and FAALL event director. “I wanted FAALL to provide an opportunity for high school athletes, along with younger kids, to get to play, grow, and develop their skills to be better prepared for their spring season.” As for why Rec and Parks’ Athletics Division immediately agreed to support the league, which was already in the works before the pandemic struck, and offer four of its fields for the league’s Sunday morning games, County Rec and Parks Public Information Officer Colleen Joseph offers a number of reasons. “For starters, we’ve worked with these organizations for many years and know from experience that they know what they’re doing and are very easy to work with,” she said. “They’re the leaders in hosting well-run lacrosse tournaments in Anne Arundel County.”

Crucially, added Joseph, this includes hosting events with strict safety protocols during the pandemic, most recently the Naptown National Challenge, Summer Exposure, and Border Battles, all of which took place in Annapolis in August. FAALL will be self-run, neither interfering with nor diverting resources or focus from the many rec leagues that the county is committed to running, Abbreviated football, soccer, cheerleading, lacrosse, and baseball/softball seasons start in late September at a time when nearby organizations, from Baltimore City Recreation and Parks to Maryland Athletics, have canceled or paused activities. Like Cottle, Joseph cites the clear interest from kids, parents, and coaches as the overarching impetus for helping make the league happen. Cottle reports that 14 out of 16 slots for boys varsity and six out of eight slots for JV boys had already been filled within three days of the league’s launch, with strong demand for girls and youth divisions as well.

Stewards Set Sights on Calvert County BY KRISTA PFUNDER

alvert County is launching a program to teach community leaders to reduce pollution in waterways—and bring others along for the ride. The Calvert County Watershed Stewards Academy holds its first class Oct. 6 and seeks to reduce polluted stormwater runoff and improve local water quality. The Watersheds Stewards program, which will be run by the University of Maryland Extension in partnership with county agencies, is based on the model already in place in Anne Arundel and other Maryland counties. “Anne Arundel County’s Academy was the first one in the state,” says Suzanne Etgen, executive director of the Anne Arundel County Watershed Stewards Academy. “We formed

a partnership with the University of Maryland and created the curriculum together.” Nicole Basenback, watershed restoration educator with the University of Maryland Extension was trained at the Anne Arundel academy and now serves as coordinator for the new Calvert program. “There are a lot of waterfront properties in Calvert County,” Basenback says. “And there are many folks who are interested in preserving the natural resources that they enjoy who also may have experienced flooding or erosion issues on their property due to stormwater. Calvert County community partners have requested a local WSA program for several years now.” A southern Maryland regional watershed restoration specialist worked with Extension administrators and Calvert County to secure funding for the WSA program. Over the course of 16 weeks, stewards in training will participate in

classroom and hands-on fieldwork, as well as a class project and an individual project in their own community. An enrollment fee of $100 covers the cost of materials used in the course. Scholarships are available. “Activities include a soil percolation test, designing a conservation landscape, conducting a desktop site analysis and identifying stormwater concerns,” Basenback says. After program graduates earn the designation of Master Watershed Steward, they will work in their communities to identify sources of pollution, find restoration opportunities and create small-scale stormwater management practices like installing rain barrels or building rain gardens. A 2018 graduate of the Anne Arundel County WSA is already making a difference in her community. “I have done four projects in my neighborhood, including two erosion control gardens in areas that were once bare soil and ran directly to storm drains to the South River after every rain event,” says Leila MacCarthy, a member of the Anne Arundel Academy board. “I have created a large pollinator garden to attract butterflies and bees, and am working on invasive species removal including bamboo and English ivy.” In her neighborhood of 545 homes and several sub-communities, MacCar-

thy serves on the landscape committee and keeps neighbors informed about efforts that they can undertake to keep the watershed healthy. “We produce a newsletter monthly discussing these issues and educating our community on stormwater and pollution issues,” MacCarthy says. “We have a website where we post information and last year we would host Happy Hours with expert guest speakers to talk about managing storm water on homeowner property.” MacCarthy is just the kind of volunteer the program hopes to attract. “WSA is about two things: action and community engagement. So the perfect candidates are people who want to engage their communities in actions that reduce pollution,” Anne Arundel County’s Etgen says. “Stewards do not need to be formal community leaders; they can simply be that trusted neighbor people look to, someone who enjoys interacting with their neighbors and wants to help clean local waterways. Stewards come from many types of communities including neighborhoods, schools, congregations and businesses.” For more information on the program, contact Basenback at 410-535-3662 or nicoleb@umd.edu. Class size is limited to 18. The program is open to all but priority will be given to Calvert County residents.

Annapolis Celebrates Skipjack History

he historic skipjack Wilma Lee was officially welcomed back to the Bay with a ribbon-cutting at Annapolis City Dock on Friday, Sept. 4. Mayor Gavin Buckley, Annapolis Maritime Museum President/CEO Alice Estrada, and Sen. Sarah Elfreth celebrated the restored 1940 oyster boat now offering sails from City Dock. “We are one of 22 skipjacks on the Bay. She is an iconic symbol of maritime heritage. And I remember them, growing up in Annapolis and they’ve all but disappeared,” says Estrada. The maritime museum received a donation that allowed it to buy the skipjack back in 2018. Mayor Buckley echoes the importance of Wilma Lee’s history. “We need authenticity at City Dock, things for people to look at that represent the history of this city and the Chesapeake Bay. A skipjack, an oyster boat, is a big part of our identity. And so having people see what they look like, how they work is really, really going to be great.” The skipjack stretches almost 75 feet long, from bowsprit to davit, and boasts 1,700 square feet of sail. p Scheduled sails leave Thursday through Sunday for the time being, with heritage tours in the afternoons and sunset sails in the evenings.

ON ALERT FOR

WILD WEATHER LOCALIZED TORNADO LEAVES LASTING DAMAGE BY KATHY KNOTTS

UST ONE MONTH after Hurricane Isaias wreaked havoc on our region, spawning tornadoes in Calvert and St. Mary’s counties, an EF1 tornado touched down south of Annapolis in Edgewater Sept. 3. What began as a supercell thunderstorm that tracked east across central Maryland produced the tornado that touched down late Thursday afternoon and continued to the western shore of the Bay. It lasted just 10 minutes, according to the National Weather Service, from 5:57 to 6:07 pm, but it carved a swath of destruction in that short time period. From the shore of Beards Creek off the South River in Edgewater to Historic London Town to Great Frogs Winery on Harness Creek to its end point near Arundel on the Bay, the tornado trekked six miles uprooting trees and sending debris flying in its 90mph winds. Tornadic damage began after the storm crossed Beards Creek off the

South River. Trees crashed down near the intersection of Edgewater Drive and Park Avenue, just north of Lee Airport. The tornado intensified as it moved east into central Edgewater, and reached its peak EF1 strength in the community bounded by Solomons Island Road (Route 2), Virginia Avenue, and Ridge Avenue. There was damage in all directions. Siding was torn from the wall of one home, and roof flashing was ripped on another. To the north, a commercial fence blew down. Trees got the worst of it: the NWS says most of the trees in this area lost some large branches, about 10 were entirely uprooted or snapped, and some fell into power poles, homes or vehicles. As the tornado crossed Solomons Island Road, it weakened to an EF0 but continued to cause scattered damage left of the tornado’s track. Damage was noted on both sides of Warehouse Creek along Leeland Road and South River Landing Road. At Historic London Town in Edgewater, fallen trees damaged parts of the gardens and the picnic area. Executive Director Rod Cofield was thankful that the storm stayed away from most of the buildings. “The damage was primarily to the southern portion of the property and our picnic area is messed up pretty bad, but no damage to our main buildings so we were very lucky,” he says. “Some trees fell on our tractor shelter and the covering needs to be replaced but the metal frame held up really well.” Cofield says much of the debris cleanup was handled over the weekend, but the site is reaching the end of what they can easily do so they are coordinating with the county “for the bigger stuff.” “I anticipate that the public won’t notice much of an issue other than the picnic area being closed. There was some damage to our core gardens but it didn’t take out anything of horticultural significance, but the removal of limbs will be a delicate process,” says Cofield. The high winds turned the Arundel Rivers Federation’s pump-out boat on its side, sinking it in Selby Bay. Pump-outs have been cancelled for the season. The tornado continued across the South River and into Hillsmere Shores where it damaged the tasting room at Great Frogs Winery and uprooted a large tree at The Key School’s soccer field. Wind-blown limbs damaged the protective netting and metal framing attached to a scoreboard on the field. The path continued east across Hillsmere Drive where a half dozen 30- to 40-foot tall pine trees were uprooted. Further northeast along Sunset Drive, scattered tree damage included a large tree that broke a hole in a home’s roof, letting water inside. After the tornado tracked east through the

Arundel on the Bay community, the tornado dissipated near the shoreline of the Bay. It made for a busy evening for local fire departments. “We responded to approximately 55 storm-related calls Thursday evening,” says Capt. Russ Davies, spokesperson for the Anne Arundel County Fire Department. “33 of the 55 were in the Edgewater/ Mayo/Woodland Beach area. There were also calls in Davidsonville, West Annapolis, and the Annapolis Neck.” Davies says many of the calls were related to electrical hazards: wires down, trees on power lines and transformer fires. “We have calls similar to the above really anytime severe storms come through the county. The difference here is that it’s in a pretty concentrated area,” Davies said. County residents should always report storm damage to the Anne Arundel Office of Emergency Management (www.aacounty.org/departments/ office-of-emergency-management/). While not altogether rare, tornadoes still surprise us here in Chesapeake Country. “Tornadoes are not uncommon in Maryland,” says Chris Strong, Warning Coordination Meteorologist with NWS Baltimore/Washington. “But when they happen, they typically affect small localized areas. So the chance of any one spot getting a tornado is uncommon. Anne Arundel County last had one in 2012 near Tipton Airport/Ft. Meade, and has had seven since 2000. That said, two were rather close to the county a few weeks ago during August in adjacent Calvert County related to Tropical Storm Isaias.” The derecho that swept through the area in 2012 was just as destructive as a tornado, recalls Cofield. Davies remembers a tornado in Severna Park in 2006. “The damage then was substantially similar. We have[also] seen a couple of incidents of storm damage due to microbursts this year. Most notable was the one in Lake Shore on July 5 where the tree fell on the garage and injured 20 people. There was another June 27 outside of Annapolis that damaged several homes.” Staying weather-aware is important, especially in late summer and early fall. “It has been an active stretch of weather over the past few weeks in Maryland, with the tropical storm, flooding, severe thunderstorms and tornadoes,” says Strong. “These types of stretches come and go during our warmer part of the year. Being ready largely comes down to two things: getting weather warnings from the National Weather Service through a phone app or NOAA weather radio and having an emergency kit on hand and a plan for what to do when severe weather threatens.” Learn how to create an emergency kit at www.ready.gov.

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Giving Endangered Turtles a Fighting Chance

t the end of August, I took a trip to Topsail Beach, North Carolina. I do have to say that I was disappointed with the lack of concern about COVID19 there. I brought my own food but considered having a meal outside of a restaurant but none of the staff was wearing a mask, so I didn’t. There were many shoppers that ignored the requests from stores to wear a mask. I wore an N95 mask, which I picked up at a hardware store last year. I ended up spending most of my time at the beach. While at the beach, I saw four loggerhead turtle nests protected by a wire mesh covering and a barrier of stakes and hazard tape. The wire mesh was for protection from predators like dogs, raccoons, birds, etc. The hazard tape was for protection from curious or clumsy people. I spoke to several members of the Topsail Turtle Project and was able to participate in a nest watch. A volunteer from that group, Pat Dareau verified the information I was collecting. She has been volunteering for seven years. Loggerhead turtles are the most common turtle along the Atlantic coast and are found throughout the world. They are very long-lived, over 90 years. Even females do not reach sexual maturity until they are over 35 years old. They are also quite large, with a fully grown adult weighing in at 350 pounds and record weights of 1000 pounds. The name loggerhead comes from their large muscular heads. They have strong jaws for feeding on shellfish, like conchs and whelks. They are carnivores that feed on fish, crabs, jellyfish, and easy prey like sea urchins. Loggerheads nest on beaches from Florida to North Carolina. Every two to four years, mature females return to where they hatched to dig a hole above the high tide line and lay their eggs. They spend hours at night constructing a jug-shaped nest with an egg chamber 18 inches below the sand surface. In one night they lay 80 to 130 leathery round eggs. Loggerheads will return to the site every other week, for up to three more

rounds. They can produce almost 500 eggs in one season. The temperature of the nest helps determine the sex of the turtle. Cooler temps, like in Topsail Island, have more males develop. In Florida, the warmer sand has a larger percentage of female development. The young will hatch en masse about three weeks after being laid. Both the eggs and the hatchlings are vulnerable in this critical time. That is when the volunteers and experts from the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center get to work, managing incubation and hatching. On the 23 miles of the island’s coast, about 120 nests are laid each summer, the product of about 50 turtles. Since they return on average every 3 years, 150 turtles call Topsail their nesting home. The nest I was watching was probably laid by a young first-timer. She laid the eggs below the high tide line and all 86 eggs had to be moved to a man-made

Turtle tracks. nest. On Aug. 26, the top of the nest collapsed, showing that the eggs were hatching and the young were resting and absorbing their yolk sac. They were getting ready to race to the ocean. Black plastic was placed to block out the bright lights of a fishing pier. A wide broom was used to smooth the loose foot-printed sand all the way to the hard wet sand. At sunset, a dozen people waited for the young turtles to escape to the ocean. The young need to make the scamper to the water on their own to become imprinted to their birth beach so they can return later. I waited for over two hours in the dark, no lights were allowed, and gave up. The young turtles took off for the water at midnight. Some of the young took off for the brightly lit pier and had to be redirected. The hatching was quite successful. Unfor-

tunately, only one in a thousand baby turtles will survive to sexual maturity. Populations of loggerheads are an endangered species due to many factors, such as the presence of plastics in the ocean, which they mistake for a jellyfish dinner; entanglement in fishing nets; boat strikes; nesting stress; human development; and climate change affecting their feeding grounds. We should all avoid using plastics and stop tossing old fishing line and netting in the water. To prevent turtle drowning, shrimp trawlers are now using turtle excluder devices. Loggerhead turtles range for thousands of miles and are frequently seen in the Chesapeake Bay, where they feed on what they can find, such as crabs and horseshoe crabs. Let us know if you see one of these huge turtles in the Bay. p

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

BY MARIA PRICE

Turtleheads in the Garden

ate summer is the time for native turtlehead plants to bloom. Chelone glabra, or white turtlehead is from the Greek chelone meaning tortoise, referring to the flowers which look like a tortoise’s head, glabra or glabrous means not hairy. Turtlehead plants grow 2 to 3 feet tall in zones 5 to 8. This hardy native perennial with glossy green foliage prefers moist soil in full to part sun and is tolerant of a variety of soils except very dry. Good air circulation is necessary to prevent powdery mildew. White turtlehead is a stiffly erect, clump forming perennial attracting butterflies and birds. White turtlehead is often a common plant in the open or closed canopy wetlands in this region. It is one of the key larval food plants for the Baltimore checkerspot butterfly. It spreads easily

via rhizomes, otherwise seeds can be collected in late summer and early fall to scatter in moist to wet areas. Use the plant in a moist meadow, on the edge of a woodland or in a butterfly, bog or a native garden. Long-horned bees, bumble bees and hummingbirds are the most frequent visitors to turtlehead plants. Bees have to push their way into the flower by forcing open the upper and lower lips to access the nectar. Nectar is secreted around the base of the ovary rewarding pollinators strong enough to open the flower. The bees’ efforts are worthwhile as over three milligrams of sugar are produced daily. Bumble bees collect pollen on their thorax and transfer it to other flowers as they move from flower to flower. Pink turtlehead or Chelone lyonia, is

naturally found in higher elevations. Proven Winners has a variety named “Hot Lips,” a pink turtlehead plant with rosy pink snapdragon-like flowers in August to September. This more upland species may not do as well in hot, humid regions. p Have a gardening question? Email editor@bayweekly.com

SPORTING LIFE

Adios to Summer but Autumn is the Best C

ould summer be over already? It was in the low 60s overnight a few days ago, Labor Day has passed and I, for one, am happy it’s finally happened. With the pandemic still around us, the onset of fall can only be the start of a better tomorrow. The 100-degree days will now recede further and further into our memories. My own August this year was punctuated by an act of benign desperation. Facing a mostly dismal summer rockfish season, I fled the state with my buddy from New Jersey, Vince Ransom, for a more sensible clime, way north to the Kenai Peninsula. (Local Maryland angler Jack Mister doubled as a guide for Drifters Lodge at Cooper’s Landing on the Kenai River, an invaluable service!) Basking in the mist of 40-degree mornings and about 16 hours of sunshine, I found Alaska the perfect antidote for Maryland’s hottest month. The first coho salmon run was under way, roe-laden crimson sockeyes were everywhere, pink salmon well into their even-year run (they are MIA during odd years) and the native rainbow and

ASOS PRESENTS

MOON & TIDES

FISHFINDER: The Bay is alive with active gamefish and panfish putting on some weight for winter. Trolling will generally locate your favorites but the mouths of the tributaries and the more prominent points along the Bay will usually produce fish. Live lining may suffer as bluefish will be eating the latter half of your spot. The tailors and snappers will also invade the chum slicks causing havoc with your baits on the bottom. Birds will be unusually active now due to the presence of both the Spanish mackerel and bluefish so keep a casting rod loaded with fast moving, hard lures in silver or gold. Avoid soft plastic jigs, they’ll suffer from the toothy strikes. White perch are schooling well, getting some size and can be found from 15 to 40 feet of water and the blue crabs are at their fattest of the year. Winter is coming, enjoy the Bay now! Dolly Varden trout in their usual, but still unbelievable abundance. I won’t torture you with tales of screaming drags, gorgeous fish, cool days and incredible surroundings. Suffice it to say that after well over a week of constant action I eventually felt the full effects of every one of my 78 years of excessive sport and lack of adult supervision. It took me a full week to get my legs back under me and begin preparing for the best of Maryland’s calendar. And the best it always is. Rockfish reports are already encouraging. Fish in the 26-plus inch range are starting to shoulder their way into the main Bay to savage the schools of yearling menhaden, perch, silversides, anchovies, spot and croaker forming up. Cooler temps and decreasing hours of sunlight will ignite all of these species’ instincts like few other stimuli, for they know winter is coming. The many tributaries to the Chesapeake are nurseries to out baitfish as well as our gamefish and each will react a bit differently. Though the Norfolk spot are spawned somewhere offshore in the Atlantic as are the croaker and a lot of the menhaden, they somehow make it up the length of the Chesapeake to reside in the fertile headwaters of creeks, streams and rivers, staying relatively safe from THURSDAY

Our rockfish, perch, silversides and Bay anchovies are birthed here in the Chesapeake but are now feeding more voraciously for the coming cold weather. They have also been joined by some late toothy visitors from the open sea. Spanish mackerel have arrived as have some schools of bluefish. Though the Spannys are specifically targeted most often by fast trollers (seven knots plus), they are also hooked by prepared anglers chasing other species and spying feeding birds. A 7-foot, medium action spin or casting rod armed with a 1-ounce Kastmaster spoon, or a similar clone, will usually entice an attack by a Spanny mack or a blue. Tailors and snappers (smaller bluefish to 14 inches), choppers (blues at 24 inches) and slammers (over 24 to sometimes over 36 inches) will be found in greater

The two species will rarely be found in large numbers simultaneously, bluefish preferring to range the open ocean when rockfish are numerous. Our rockfish numbers are considerably down so the presence of blues may be more pervasive this year and there is nothing as enervating to an angler as a school of these toothy devils attacking a gathering of baitfish. Birds will be in abundance as bluefish will bite off the latter half of a bait first then often neglect the other half. The larger choppers and slammers also have the habit of eating until gorged then vomiting their stomachs and starting all over again, a behavior much appreciated by the feathered and finned species that follow them to feast on their leavings. p

Mulan

Carry-Out & Delivery

Disney’s latest live action remake continues its trend of disappointing rehashes

ince she was a little girl, Mulan (Yifei Liu: Hanson and the Beast) has felt the pull of the blade. Gifted with an abundance of qi, or energy which flows through our bodies and the earth, as a child Mulan is able to perform gravity-defying feats and whip-quick staff moves. She bounces from statues and rooftops, flipping around as she chases chickens to help her family. But her natural gifts make her a pariah in her small village. Women are not supposed to be warriors, they’re supposed to be wives. Though her father recognizes her gift, he encourages Mulan to hide her abilities and embrace the role of wife and mother. Forcing herself into a role that doesn’t feel natural and denying her intrinsic power leads to disaster and Mulan is thought to bring dishonor to her family by not exceling at the feminine arts. Mulan’s disgrace is short-lived, however, when nomadic Rouran tribes invade China and threaten the empire. The tribes have a terrifying sorceress (Li Gong: Leap) on their side: a woman who mastered qi and was reviled by her people for her abilities. Now she and the Rourans seek to destroy those who harmed them. Terrified for his people, the Emperor (Jet Li: League of Gods) orders the formation of a massive army, drafting a male from each family in the land. Mulan’s father, a wounded veteran of the previous war, must serve for his family, as he has only daughters. …Or so he thought. Refusing to allow her weakened father to die, Mulan takes his place, masquerading as a son and joining the army in his name. Though she’s finally doing what she has always wanted, something is holding her back. Lying about her identity is affecting her ability to harness her qi, but if Mulan reveals her gender to her fellow soldiers, she will be executed and her family dishonored. Can Mulan be true to herself? Or is she a victim of a patriarchal society that would quash a woman’s gifts? Beautifully shot, loaded with excellent actors, and featuring a sweeping score, Mulan is a beautiful, frustrating film. Director Niki Caro (The Zookeeper’s Wife) admirably wanted to move away from a direct remake of the Disney animated film. Caro wanted her version of the film to be based upon the traditional legend, but it uses the Disney animated movie as a crutch.

Caro changes the tone of the film, aiming for a more serious, contemplative girl power drama, but she can’t resist referencing the Disney animation. It’s a terrible tonal decision that finds jokes from the ‘90s movie shoehorned into dramatic scenes. There’s even a character named Cricket, who serves as a good luck charm to the troop; it’s frankly distracting to be reminded of the original so often in a movie that seems to want to make its own way. It’s a shame, because cinematographer Mandy Walker (The Mountain Between Us) crafts some truly stunning images. She manages to reference Hong Kong action film tropes as well as the sweeping landscapes used in epic dramas. The CGI is spotty at times, but Walker’s camera work is reliably brilliant throughout the film. The movie also boasts a phenomenal cast, including Jet Li, Li Gong, Donnie Yen and Rosalind Chao, but fails to allow them to live up to their potential. The movie is so concerned with its earnest message, it doesn’t give its characters room to breathe. Instead of feeling like people, everyone surrounding Mulan feels like Non-Playable Characters in a video game – they only exist to move Mulan along her quest. But the real problem in Mulan lies in her hero’s journey. By giving Mulan the power of qi, which renders her basically a superhero, the film doesn’t give her much to struggle against. She doesn’t need to learn how to fight. She doesn’t need to learn to work with her fellow soldiers to accomplish a goal. She just needs to stop concealing her power and embrace it. This makes the film less a live-action retelling of Mulan and more like a live-action retelling of Frozen. The base message of embracing yourself is an excellent lesson, but it’s muddled by turning Mulan into a superhero origin story. It’s beautifully shot, and Liu is a great find with plenty of charisma, but ultimately Disney once again fails to capture the magic of their animated tales in a live action remake. The film is available for $30 from Disney+, which is a bargain if you’re still socially distancing and need to entertain a family for the night. But if you’re not desperate for entertainment, wait until December to screen Mulan when it becomes available for free to all Disney+ subscribers. The film will be more enjoyable without shelling out movie theater prices. Fair Drama * PG-13 * 115 mins.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZNY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that some people have will power and some donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? observes author

James S. Gordon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that some people are ready to change and others are not.â&#x20AC;? Lucky for you, Aries! Your willpower is even more potent than usual right now, and your willingness to change is growing stronger. And so very soon now, I expect you will reach the threshold that enables you to act crisply and forcefully. You will become so convinced that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wise to instigate transformation that you will just naturally instigate transformation. Adjust, adapt, improvise, improve! TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Psychologist MihĂĄly CsĂkszentmihĂĄlyi is an expert on the mental state known as being in the flow. He defines it as what happens when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re completely absorbed in what you are doing: â&#x20AC;&#x153;immersed in a feeling of energized focus,â&#x20AC;? with â&#x20AC;&#x153;full involvement and enjoyment in the process of the activity.â&#x20AC;? According to my reading of the astrological omens, you are extra likely to enjoy such graceful interludes in the coming weeks. But I hope you will be discerning about how you use them. I mean, you could get into a flow playing video games or doing sudoku puzzles. But God and Life and I would prefer it if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll devote those times to working on a sublime labor of love or a highly worthy quest.

duplicate of the original. It is a continuing act of creation.â&#x20AC;? Neurologist Oliver Sacks agrees, telling us, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Memories are not fixed or frozen, but are transformed, disassembled, reassembled, and recategorized with every act of recollection.â&#x20AC;? Reams of additional evidence also suggest that our experience of the past is always being transformed. In accordance with astrological potentials, I invite you to take advantage of this truth. Re-imagine your life story so it has more positive spins. Re-envision the plot threads so that redemption and rebirth are major features. Engage in a playful reworking of your memories so that the epic myth of your destiny serves your future happiness and success. (June 21-July 22): All CANCER of us are susceptible to fooling

ourselves and lying to ourselves. And all of us are susceptible to the cowardice that such self-sabotage generates. But the good news is that you Cancerians will have an expansive capacity to dissolve and rise above self-deception in the coming weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and will therefore be able to call on a great deal of courage. As Cancerian author and Buddhist teacher Pema ChĂśdrĂśn says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The essence of bravery is being without self-deception.â&#x20AC;? (July 23-Aug. 22): If you like, I will give you the waning crescent LEO

moon and the dawn breeze. Do you want them? How about sudden bursts of joy for no apparent reasons and a warm greeting from a person you thought had a problem with you? Would you be interested in having those experiences? And what about an unexpected insight into how to improve your financial situation and a message from the future about how to acquire more stability and security? Are those blessings you might enjoy? Everything I just named will be possible in the coming weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially if you formulate a desire to receive them and ask life to provide them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo poet Mary Oliver was renowned for giving herself permission. Permission to do what? To become a different person from the self she had been. To shed her familiar beliefs and adopt new ones. To treat every experience as an opportunity to experiment. To be at peace with uncertainty. I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be wise to give yourself all those permissions in the coming weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as well as others that would enhance your freedom to be and do whatever you want to be and do. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another favorite Mary Oliver permission that I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll offer yourself: â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I say to my heart: rave on.â&#x20AC;?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more unintelligent people are, the less mysterious existence seems to them,â&#x20AC;? wrote philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. I agree with that idea, as well as the converse: The more intelligent people are, the more mysterious existence seems to them. Since I expect you to be at the peak of your soulful intelligence in the coming weeks, I am quite sure that life will be exquisitely mysterious to you. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that some of its enigmatic qualities may be murky and frustrating, but I suspect that many of them will be magical and delightful. If you ever wanted your life to resemble a poetic art film, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get your wish.

I hope that serves as a stimulating challenge for you, Capricorn. The fact is that you are in an extended phase when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier than usual to summon the audacity and ingenuity necessary to become more fully yourself than you have ever been before.

away from the church and going back to God.â&#x20AC;? His statement is even truer today than it was then. Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan think tank, has gathered the concrete evidence. Church attendance was way down even before the pandemic struck. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even lower. What does this have to do with you? In my astrological opinion, the coming months will be prime time for you to build your intimate and unique relationship with God rather than with institutions that have formulaic notions about who and what God is. A similar principle will be active in other ways, as well. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll thrive by drawing energy from actual sources and firsthand experiences rather than from systems and ideologies that supposedly represent those sources and experiences.

Plaza is quite popular and successful, so who knows? Maybe the Prince of Darkness did indeed give her a boost. But I really hope you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regard her as a role model in the coming weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not even in jest. What worked for Plaza wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for you. Diabolical influences that may seem tempting will not, in the long run, serve your interestsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and may even sabotage them. Besides, more benevolent forces will be available to you, and at a better price.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

COMPILED BY ANDREWS McMEEL SYNDICATION News That Sounds Like a Joke Ander Christensen, 27, of Lincoln, Nebraska, has had to take time away from his job to field the media requests that have been pouring in since his Aug. 31 appearance before the Lincoln City Council, reported The Washington Post. Reading from a script, Christensen, whose father, Roy, is a councilman, made an impassioned plea against the widespread use of the term “boneless chicken wings,” pointing out that “boneless chicken wings are just chicken tenders” and don’t “actually come from the wing of a chicken.” Laughter and applause broke out in the chamber as Christensen made his presentation, and his father said the council was “taking the matter under advisement. ... He’s a chemical engineer by profession,” he said of his son, “but he’s a comic at heart.”

Bright Idea Officials in Amsterdam have installed 12 hemp-filled urinals around that city’s notorious red-light district in an attempt to control if not eliminate late-night public urination, or “wild peeing.” The boxes, called GreenPees, resemble planters, according to CNN, and the hemp filters inside turn urine into an organic fertilizer and water that feed the plantings on top. During initial trials in 2018, inventor Richard de Vries said, “there was a 50 percent reduction in wild peeing. It was a great success.” For his next project, de Vries is researching how electricity can be generated whenever someone pees into one of his GreenPees.

Beliefs Nguyen Van Chien, 92, from a village in the southern Mekong Delta in Vietnam, hasn’t had a haircut in almost 80 years. A follower of Dua, a religion banned in Vietnam, Chien believes he has been called to grow his hair, Reuters reported, and his dreadlocks now measure about 16 1/2 feet. “I believe if I cut my hair I will die,” Chien said. “I only nurture it, cover it in a scarf to keep it dry and clean and looking nice.”

Great Art! • Three years ago, Emma Aldenryd, 18, of Aarhus, Denmark, discovered she had a rare condition called dermatographia, which causes her skin to temporarily swell up when touched. Oddity Central reports that the teen has decided to use her skin as a canvas on which she traces artwork with a pencil and posts the images to Instagram. “I started by drawing quite random stuff like a bunch of words,” Aldenryd said. “Lots of people question whether it hurts, but my dermatographia has never hurt.” Antihistamines treat the

itch associated with her condition—but they also stop the swelling, so she doesn’t take them. • Drivers on U.S. 70 in southeast New Mexico have wondered about the 18 wooden chairs set up six feet apart in rows on a hill between Clovis and Portales. KRQE reports they are the work of three local sisters who wanted to express their feelings about socially distanced learning as schools struggle to open. “I have a daughter that’s a teacher and both my sisters have kids who are in school and this is really, really difficult for them not to be in school,” said Alyssa Idsinga, who created the art installation along with April Rutter and Abigail Pritchett. “It’s just so lonely.” She had the chairs in a shed and said the installation would remain as long as the pandemic continues or until the weather destroys it.

Compelling Explanation Nicole Dozois, 40, was arrested in Largo, Florida, on Aug. 23 on charges of domestic battery after allegedly attacking her father “due to his flatulence,” according to an arrest affidavit. The Smoking Gun reported that Dozois, who shares a room in a home in Largo with her 59-year-old father, allegedly punched him in the face numerous times, leaving him with a “bloodied left eye and scratches all over his neck,” authorities said. She pleaded not guilty before being released, with the proviso that she have no contact with her father.

Wait, What? Villas Las Estrellas is a small settlement of about 100 people on King George Island in Antarctica with a school, a bank, a church and even a souvenir shop, but if you want to live there, you and your family—including your children— will be required to have your appendixes removed before you arrive. The reason, Medium reports, has a logic grounded in history: The town has a small clinic, but not always a surgeon, and the nearest hospital is more than 600 miles away and difficult to reach. In 1961, Russian explorer and surgeon Leonid Rogozov at the similarly isolated Novolazarevskaya Station suffered life-threatening acute appendicitis and was forced to operate on himself—without anesthesia. The twohour operation was successful, and Rogozov returned to work two weeks later.

The Continuing Crisis Dr. Devainder Goli, was watching a movie on his phone as his Tesla drove on autopilot near Spring Hope, North Carolina, early on Aug. 26, according to authorities, before narrowly missing a Nash County Sheriff’s deputy and a State Highway Patrol trooper and crash-

ing instead into both of their cruisers. “It could have been very horrific,” Nash County Sheriff Keith Stone told WRAL. The officers were conducting an overnight lane closure at the time of the accident. Goli was charged with a moving violation. “We need to understand that automation cannot do everything,” Stone said.

Nuts! Detectives with the Tulare County (California) Sheriff’s Office arrested Bhavna Singh Sekon, 23, of Fresno, in late August on suspicion of involvement in an “elaborate” scheme to steal and sell pistachios, to the tune of almost $300,000. According to YourCentralValley.com, detectives were called to Setton Pistachio on Aug. 14 where employees reported someone using the name of a legitimate trucking company had picked up two tractor-trailer loads of pistachios but failed to deliver them. Sheriff’s department spokeswoman Ashley Ritchie said detectives discovered the thieves had also stolen the trailers, which were equipped with GPS that allowed authorities to track them down. Sekon was charged with grand theft, looting, identity theft and conspiracy.

Mother Tongue The Scots Wikipedia is the world’s largest open-access compendium of the Scots language, which has been enjoying something of a comeback recently, according to The Guardian, but controversy has arisen since it was revealed that a teenager from North Carolina, who does not speak Scots, is responsible for creating or editing nearly half the entries. Responding to the criticism, the unidentified 19-yearold expressed remorse “after years of my thinking I was doing good. I was only a 12-year-old kid when I started.”

Entrepreneurial Spirit Paul Derham of Dorset, on the southwest coast of England, worked on cruise ships all over the world for 27 years before settling down and taking over two local ferries in Mudeford. As he has gazed out to the English Channel recently, he’s seen some of the world’s most famous cruise ships, moored and sidelined by the coronavirus pandemic, and he hit upon an idea: using his ferries to conduct tours around the huge, empty vessels. Ghost Cruise Tours offers 2 1/2-hour trips to a socially distanced 30 passengers at a time, and has become a hit. “I am completely overwhelmed with the attention,” Derham told CNN Travel. He plans to run the tours through the fall as long as the weather holds out. Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.

The Inside Word How many two or more letter words can you make in 2

Kriss Kross

Anagram

On the Water

Choose Your Weapon The ten anagrams below are all types of weapons. Can you unscramble them and come up with the correct answers? Good luck!

minutes from the letters in: Fiasco (20 words)

Fiasco, meaning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a failure in performance,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; was used in 1850â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Italy by theater folk when a show was a dismal flop. However, the word originated in Late Latin from flasco (where we get flask) meaning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;make a bottle.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It seems you had to make a bottle of wine appear when you lost a game of say, Bocce, much like we say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;loser buys the winner a round.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So, a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;complete fiascoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; could mean you had to spring for a case of wine.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Scoring: 17 - 20 = Ahead; 14 - 16 = Aweigh; 11 - 13 = Amidships; 08 - 10 = Aboard; 04 - 07 = Adrift; 01 - 03 = Aground

CryptoQuip 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!
