The Entire Chesapeake Bay Should Enjoy National Park Status

T

here are a handful of national parks in the Chesapeake region, each one unique. Now, an Annapolis-based Bay nonprofit wants the entire Chesapeake Bay to enjoy National Park Service status—and the perks that go with it.

On Saturday, which was National Public Lands Day, Chesapeake Conservancy launched the Champion for the Chesapeake virtual race, running through November 14. It raises funds for the conservancy’s efforts to establish a Chesapeake National Recreation Area.

Racers get a shirt, medal and bib.

And you can choose your distance: 5K (3.1 miles), 10K (6.2 miles), or half marathon (13.1 miles). But you choose the when and where.

“You can run, walk, hike, or paddle your race wherever you want,

even on a treadmill,” said Chesapeake Conservancy’s Vice President of Development Matthew Provost.

“But what better way to show your support for the Chesapeake than to get out in nature!”

As CBM’s editorial director and a 40-mile-a-week runner, I jumped at the chance to write about the Champion for the Chesapeake virtual race, and—naturally—to run it.

Of the existing Chesapeake sites recognized as national parks, Fort McHenry is the one nearest to my heart (and my home), so I plotted a 10K course that would end with a loop around the fort, with views of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, the Patapsco River, and beyond.

I set out on my own, with no starting gun or competitors to line up with. As I hustled around the Baltimore harbor, I passed Fells Point, where War of 1812 clipper ships were built; the National Aquarium, where a floating wetland grows in the harbor; and the Downtown Sailing Center, an inclusive facility that makes sailing accessible even to inner-city families.

Reaching Fort McHenry, I was greeted with one of the Chesapeake Bay’s most significant historical sights: the huge 1812-replica American flag flying high. What would it mean, I wondered, if the resourc-

Your Say Acts of Kindness After experiencing a minor car accident last month off Route 2 near Owings, MD, I was impressed with the number of people who stopped to make sure I was ok and to see if they could help. Even the Mayor of Prince Frederick was one of the people that stopped to lend assistance. Unfortunately, I did not get the names of any of the other good Samaritans. I am writing this to say thank-you and to remind everyone that there are truly selfless people in our community.

es, expertise, and access that come with the National Park Service were available to all corners of the Bay? The National Recreation Area would consist of “a collection of areas that celebrate the many stories of the Chesapeake from those of American Indians, to Black history, to watermen, just to name a few,” explains Chesapeake Conservancy President and CEO Joel Dunn. “[It] would elevate the Chesapeake Bay and bring national and international recognition.”

Existing National Recreation Areas include Golden Gate in San Francisco, Gateways in New York and New Jersey, and Boston Harbor Islands. There are 18 across the country. These recreation areas often explicitly allow boating, fishing, and hunting, and feature expanded recreational access.

The Bay is the largest estuary in the U.S. and the focus of one of the largest environmental restoration efforts in the world. For these reasons, Chesapeake Conservancy argues, it’s only right for the Bay to be recognized as an NPS unit.

And virtual race participants agree. Only two days into the event, the race had seen competitors from as far away as California and Texas.

As for me, I finished my race along a half-mile stretch of wide-open so my car was going to need to be towed out. While I was on the phone trying to figure out how to arrange a tow thru the insurance company, someone suggested that I contact a local towing company that just so happened to be located only a few minutes away from the location of my collision. That was a big help. They showed up in no time.

I also received help from the Calvert County Sherriff ’s Department. Since my car was situated at an angle in very uneven terrain with the driver’s door up high, one of the deputies basically lifted me out of the car, then assisted me to an area with more firm and even Editors Emeritus J.

A situation that started out bad, ended up better than I thought it would. This is truly the “American Spirit: Neighbors helping one another in a time of need.”

I am truly thankful for the assistance I was given by complete strangers. Despite there being so many negative stories in the news, there really are great people out there and this is a positive story!

BAY PADDLE SUCCESS: EPIC JOURNEY FROM HAVRE DE GRACE TO THE ATLANTIC

BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

A

fter nine days of pushing his body to the limit, a teacher from outside Annapolis has completed the first known stand-up paddleboard trip down the entire length of the Chesapeake Bay. In doing so, Chris Hopkinson has raised more than $177,000 (and counting) to support oyster restoration in the Bay. Bay Bulletin was there as Hopkinson launched his board from Concord Lighthouse in Havre de Grace on a brutally windy day. Hopkinson would later tell us that first day was the most daunting, as he battled 15-plus knot winds and three-foot waves, eventually

developing hypothermic symptoms. He says it was the only day he questioned being able to complete the paddle.

“I’ve never been more physically or mentally exhausted. I’ve completed two Ironmans in 12-plus hours and the almost eight hours it took to paddle that day was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”

With more tough conditions in the forecast for the days to follow (a “trifecta of winds, waves and cool air,”) Hopkinson and his crew opted to hug the Eastern Shore the entire way down the Bay. They modified the course

daily to paddle with the tide as long as possible, stay ahead of the wind when possible, and end each day in a spot that would set up well for the next morning’s launch conditions.

Each of his nine days on the water, Hopkinson was heavily geared up with wetsuit, dry jacket/PFD (he averaged about eight falls into the water per day), hydration vest, GoPro cameras on both his body and boat, GPS watch, phone, and SUP trainer tracking speed, time and distance.

Proper fueling was key, as Hopkinson burned about 3,500 calories per day. During a typical day on the water, he ate four or five protein bars, two to three Sunbutter, banana, honey and cinnamon sandwiches, and over 200 ounces of water with electrolytes and aminos. He took vitamins and supplements, and even had IV treatments

after the second and fifth days of the paddle.

In the last few days of paddling, Hopkinson’s daily mileage ranged from 17 miles (on a choppy run from Crisfield to Pungateague Creek) to nearly 36 miles (the very next day, flying all the way to Cape Charles). Hopkinson tells Bay Bulletin that tough 17-mile day drove his motivation to reach record-high mileage the next. “It felt like I was getting the crap kicked out of me all day and I still had over 50 miles to go in two days. I took that beating personally and was determined to make up for it the next day.”

Hopkinson credits a lot of his motivation to the “team effort” of kayaker Bryan Gomes (of Bay nonprofit ClearSharkH20), paddle coach Chris Norman (of Capital SUP in Annapolis) and friend Dr. Milford Marchant, as well as the boat support crews that followed him throughout the legs of his journey.

After a final-day, 21-mile paddle out to the Atlantic, officially leaving the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, Hopkinson and his team returned to Cape Charles to celebrate with Oyster Recovery Partnership—which will now be able to put at least 17.7 million new oysters into the Chesapeake—and title sponsor Flying Dog beer.

Other well-known Bay region companies threw their support behind Hopkinson’s effort, including Old Bay seasoning, Perdue Farms, and several others. Chesapeake Bay Media has been proud to serve as media sponsor Hopkinson’s incredible achievement.

Hopkinson says, “I was completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and encouragement I received. It pushed me more than I could have ever pushed myself. There was no way I was going to let all these people down.

I’m certain I would not have been able to finish without it.”

The Bay Paddle is still about $23,000 away from its fundraising goal, and donations are still being accepted. You can give at https://oysterrecovery.org/ donatebaypaddle/.

BAY FOUNDATION LAUNCHES LIVE ONLINE CLASSES FOR SCHOOL

BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

T

he Chesapeake Bay Foundation is ready to spice up distance learning with a new program of live environmental classes schools can use.

CBF Online Watershed Learning (OWL) provides schools with a team of educators who lead 45-minute interactive lessons about different Chesapeake Bay environmental subjects.

Teachers and administrators can choose from topics like Bay ecosystems, oysters, and land-water connections.

The classes launch for use in class-

rooms throughout the Bay watershed on October 5.

“This new program gives us the ability to continue to educate students during the pandemic and we think it has greater potential as well. We hope to reach new classrooms and schools we haven’t been able to welcome into the field in the past, using technology and resources we’ve developed over the past year,” says Tom Ackerman, CBF’s Vice President of Education.

CBF Educator Kellie Fiala is looking forward to bringing a similar interactive education experience to students learning from home as the one she typically delivers in-person at the Merrill Center in Annapolis.

“While we won’t be physically leading

students into a marsh, helping them paddle a canoe, or passing out binoculars on the boat, we still plan to engage students in a way that’s similar to how we interact in the field. This new program will allow us to, quite literally, meet students where they are, which allows us to use artifacts, demonstrations, data, living organisms, and relevant discussions to connect students to their local environment.”

Teachers and schools can sign up for an OWL class by reserving a date and time on CBF’s website, and an educator will review lessons in advance with the teacher. The $50 reservation fee supports CBF’s education program, but waivers are available for qualifying schools.

he State of Maryland wants you to travel the open road—and make it an overnight trip.

Sharing new road trip itineraries, the Maryland Department of Commerce Office of Tourism has launched the Open Road campaign. The campaign is designed to encourage road trips throughout the state, exploring scenic and historic routes, with overnight stays to help boost tourism.

“Working with health officials, the tourism industry has implemented protocols so they can be open for guests safely and comfortably,” says Kelly Schulz, Maryland commerce secretary.

The department is partnering with destination marketing organizations to get travelers to visit the newly designed website featuring 18 scenic byways. The byways are scenic routes with multiple points of interest that allow travelers to customize the pace, geography and activities they want to experience.

“Fall is a beautiful time to explore Maryland and support the accommodations, attractions, restaurants along the way,” says Schulz.

BAY BULLETIN The new itineraries highlight byway themes such as Horses and Hounds, the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad, Along the C&O Canal, and Stop, Shop and Stroll the Old Main Streets.

The Along Roots & Tides route, for example, stretches from Annapolis to Prince Frederick and begins with a colonial-era walking tour of Annapolis followed by a cruise from City Dock. Other stops include a vineyard and a lunch spot on the water. The itinerary encourages travelers to explore some of the 22 miles of hiking trails at the American Chestnut Land Trust in Prince Frederick. The ACLT welcomes travelers wishing to stretch their legs.

“We have had a huge spike in our number of hikers,” says Greg Bowen, executive director of the American Chestnut Land Trust. “We kept our trails open throughout the pandemic, even during the lockdown since the governor still allowed (and encouraged) outdoor exercise.”

Travelers out and about on the roads will find Maryland’s eight welcome centers have reopened. The centers comply with safety guidelines and are open 9am-5pm Wednesday through Sunday.

he South County community of Friendship is living up to its name, stepping up to support the new owner of a local small business that was vandalized over its COVID-19 precautions.

A customer at La Bella Italia Restaurant—angry that he was asked to put on a face mask before being allowed to place an order—punched a hole in the restaurant’s plexiglass shield installed between customers and employees at

the front counter.

When Channing Duffy of Deale stopped in for lunch one day later, she found out about the incident from an employee.

“This was the last thing they needed,” says Duffy who, like the restaurant owner, is also new to the area.

“I asked how business was and they said it is down and they had to let go of employees,” she says. “Then the employee pointed to the hole in the plexiglass and told me that an angry customer had punched the glass after being reminded of their mask policy.”

Wanting to show the owner and employees at La Bella Italia that not all

BAY BULLETIN neighbors are angry over the restaurant’s safety efforts, Duffy went home and posted to Facebook about the incident.

“I wanted them to know a little bit of light in terms of the community that supports them,” Duffy says. “Most of the comments were very positive and I decided to try to actually show support.”

She started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to cover the cost of a new plexiglass shield. “I decided to set the goal at $500 because I read that GoFundMe will match that amount,” Duffy says.

The campaign quickly raised $575 and Duffy presented the unsuspecting owner of La Bella Italia with a check to pay for a new plexiglass shield last week.

“I took him a check for $575 and he was certainly surprised to see it,” Duffy says. “I’m still waiting to see if GoFundMe matches the donations.”

The owner, who wishes to be known simply as Ilario, says he too looks forward to when business returns to normal and no masks are required, but is grateful to customers for rallying around the restaurant in its time of need.

“Thank you to all these wonderful people for their support,” Ilario says.

“Please come see us.”

Ilario says they will replace the plexiglass soon but until then, there is a visual reminder of the community’s support: an anonymous customer pasted a cutout heart next to the jagged break in the plexiglass.

Calvert Hospice to Close House in Prince Frederick after a Decade

BY KATHY KNOTTS

S

taffing challenges led the leadership at Calvert Hospice to close the doors to the Burnett Calvert Hospice House in Prince Frederick. Announced last week, the hospice board of directors made “the incredibly difficult decision to suspend operations” at the house immediately.

Executive director Jean Fleming says that while the house will be closing, her organization will continue to provide all the services the community has come to depend on them for.

The independent, community-based non-profit agency provides specialized care for those facing a life-limiting illness. It also assists the families and caregivers of the patient. “We are still going out to patients to wherever they call home,” Fleming says. “We haven’t missed a beat.”

In a letter to the community, Fleming writes that “We are living in times of unprecedented challenge and change, forced to make difficult decisions and choices we wouldn’t have imagined possible just one year ago. Calvert Hospice is no different. At this time, we simply cannot ensure that level of staffing for our House and our families.”

The house, which opened in 2010, is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by two certified nursing assistants, a registered nurse on weekdays, as well as other employees, “through holidays, hurricanes and snowstorms. Within the past six months, we have experienced some

In its 10-year history, Burnett House has served 556 patients in its six-bed facility. Fleming points out that that is just 15 percent of the total number that Calvert Hospice serves throughout the county.

“We are still going out to patients to wherever they call home, we haven’t missed a beat.”

—CALVERT HOSPICE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JEAN FLEMING

holes in staffing that we’ve not been able to fill adequately,” says Fleming.

Fleming stressed that the suspension was not caused by any financial difficulties. Calvert Hospice absorbed part of the cost of operating the house annually, and thanks to the generosity of the community were able to cover that deficit ever year. The Burnett Calvert Hospice House opened mortgage-free thanks to community donations. Barbara Burnett donated the 2.5 acres of land on which the house stands in memory of her husband Rob Burnett.

Current staff are being aided in a transition process and patients are being

The board of directors and leadership will work “carefully and methodically” to determine what will happen to the building. Fleming says they will work to ensure “it remains a valuable resource to the community.”

“Going forward, we are committed to providing the same level of care for our patients and their families wherever they call home, just as we have done for over 36 years. We are also committed to creating a future that serves our neighbors when they need us most, honoring the extraordinary support we have been given by our community in so many ways, for so many years.” p

FORCE C ULTIVATING CAREERS IN BAY COUNTRY

BY STEVE ADAMS

ROWING UP, many of us heard what’s become a seemingly universal national narrative: going to college is the best way to land a well-paying career and achieve professional success.

We heard it from our parents, teachers, and leaders; national and state public policies encourage it; and as long as you’re willing to accept decades of debt, loan-making banks make it possible even for those who can’t afford the cost of tuition.

In reality, it’s not just going to college, but actually graduating, that matters—something that less than 40 percent of students attending fouryear for-profit schools and two-year community colleges do within six years of enrollment, according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center.

In other words, roughly six out of ten students who invest their time and money in these schools do not come away with the earning power or economic return they expected to gain.

Add to this the wrench that COVID19 has thrown into the complexities of higher education, along with its effects on various job markets, and there may be no better time for young people to consider alternatives to college that can also lead to a satisfying career.

In the Chesapeake Bay region, there is a notable shortage of qualified trade workers, so the industries that rely on those workers are making job training more accessible than ever. One pro-

gram founded right here on the Maryland waterfront connects prospective employees directly to businesses for on-the-job training. Read on...

Boating Jobs Abound

There are 170,365 registered boats in Maryland. The National Marine Manufacturers Association reports that in 2018, 1,121 businesses and 17,793 marine trade employees worked on boats in our state, adding up to an economic impact of $3.5 billion. That includes manufacturers, suppliers, sales, services, boating activities, and tax revenue. It’s a booming business that needs fresh hands and minds to keep it afloat.

To help support demand and help young people consider the careers involved, the Marine Trades Association of Maryland (MTAM) established the Marine Trades Industry Partnership for JOBS Today program (MTIP) in 2014. Funding comes from grants through Maryland’s Employment Advancement Right Now program, a workforce development initiative administered by the Maryland Department of Labor.

In contrast to the classroom lectures in many general workforce development programs, MTIP recruits and matches applicants (primarily 18- to 24-year-olds) with employer-partners who have a position to fill for six weeks of paid on-the-job training in a specific skill or skillset such as marine electrical, engine repair, or marine systems.

been a resounding success.

Over 400 individuals have applied since 2014, and the number of employers involved has grown from 18 to 82 with the roster including boatbuilders and dealers, harbors and marinas, boating instructors, media and more, stretching from Solomons to North East.

different skills to support it,” says Rob Sola of Diversified Marine Services, an MTAM board member. “The demand for service currently exceeds the capacity, so we regularly need to bring in more talent at all levels of experience. Plus, young people typically bring great enthusiasm and a hunger to learn, which is a great fit for our team.”

Wendy Madden, HR manager at M Yacht Services agrees. “Our business was growing and, after finding there was a shortage of skilled labor in the area, I started looking for an organization that was focused on... training young people to create a bigger pool of skilled technicians and craftsmen,” she says. “Our expert technicians want to pass on their knowledge to the younger generation... It’s important to continue the storied traditions of working on boats on the Bay, not to mention introducing young people to the satisfaction of mastering a craft.”

The program is ideal for people who are “doers,” says Madden. “We should celebrate people who are skilled in working with their hands and who can troubleshoot and fix things. There are so many opportunities available which are rewarding and profitable, particularly in a state like Maryland where the industry is such a vital part of the economy and impacts the daily lives of so many.”

Aidan Kutchi and Christopher Crowe plan to not only become the 79th and 80th program graduates but also receive job offers at the end of their training.

“I’ve always loved working with my hands and feeling accomplished when a task is done,” says Kutchi, who learned about MTIP through the marine service technology program at the Center for Applied Technology South, a vocational center that offers career exploration programs to Anne Arundel County high

JUMPSTARTING CAREERS

There are plenty of options in the region for those interested in exploring some of the many skilled trades as well. Here are three:

CENTER FOR APPLIED TECHNOLOGY NORTH (SEVERN) Built by Anne Arundel County Public Schools in 1974 to prepare students to work in the skilled trades, CAT North offers students from seven feeder high schools the opportunity to experience four career programs (and earn elective credits) each semester through its Career Exploration Program (CEP). Programs run the gamut, with 22 offered in the areas of Arts, Media, and Communication; Construction and Development; Consumer Services, Hospitality, and Tourism; Environmental, Agricultural, and Natural Resources; Health and Biosciences; IT; Manufacturing, Engineering, and Technology; and Transportation Technologies. Following CEP students can choose to receive further instruction in Level One and Level Two courses, in which they receive an industry-recognized certification (IRC) or licensure, and even pursue internships/work-study at diverse organizations such as the NSA, Coast Guard, Plumbers and Steam Fitters Union, car dealerships, restaurants, and more.

“Our school goal is to prepare every student in our building for their next steps in life, whether it be career or college,” says Principal Joseph Rose. “Many of our students can earn a great living immediately after completing our programs because our local economy has a huge demand for skilled tradespeople, and I truly believe the pendulum has shifted away from college for all.” https://www.catnorth.org/

CENTER FOR APPLIED TECHNOLOGY SOUTH (EDGEWATER) Built just three years after CAT North to satisfy demand, CAT South offers students from six feeder high schools, 15 programs to experience. Principal Adam Sheinhorn proudly reports that 98 percent of students complete their programs with at least one IRC, and that those who decide to go directly into the workforce have little trouble finding employment opportunities thanks to business partners’ high esteem for CAT South’s training.

“Young people need to have options,” says Sheinhorn. “A two- or four-year degree won’t be everyone’s path, and we help our students discover their passion – and, just as importantly, identify what professions don’t interest them – and leave with the knowledge and training that will make them more prepared to pursue both post-secondary education and the workforce.” https://www.catsouth.org/

BAUSUM & DUCKETT ELECTRIC (EDGEWATER) A leading full-service electrical contractor that happens to be celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, Bausum & Duckett recruits and provides hands-on training and mentorship to apprentices enrolled in both Association of Builders and Contractors (ABC) and Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC) four-year apprenticeship programs. It hosts a dozen-or-so at a time and has hired hundreds over the course of its partnership with ABC and IEC. “I can’t overstate the importance of apprenticeship programs,” says co-owner Mark Llewellyn. “They provide us with a steady stream of high-quality employees, and there’s no doubt that graduates advance themselves in the field at a much greater pace in a much shorter time frame. They also highlight the importance of, and great career opportunities available in, the skilled trades.”

Kutchi is currently completing his practicum at Diversified Marine Services while attending South River High School. “It was really cool to me to be able to do what I enjoyed doing in school, but with professionals, and not be stuck behind a desk or in a building. I enjoy being able to feel the breeze off the water and see the beautiful scenery while working.”

“My favorite part of it has been the hands-on experience and learning from individuals that really do this work for a living as opposed to classroom simulations,” echoes Crowe, who’s midway through his practicum at Washburn’s Boat Yard. “There doesn’t seem to be any shortage of different forms of work in this field, so I plan to continue my education and work in it for years to come.”

Even those who do plan to attend college find benefits in the program.

Andrew Piatek, a Southern High student, completed his practicum at Osprey Marine Composites. “My favorite part of the program was coming to work and learning something new about fiberglass work and the marine industry as a whole every day,” he says. “I’m positive that my experience will help me achieve my ultimate goal of obtaining a degree in composite engineering and landing a composite manufacturing job.”

And that’s what MTIP is ultimately all about: helping young people discover, learn, and potentially pursue long-term career opportunities that they may have never dreamed of.

“It’s about changing the tide of young people following their parent’s dreams,” concludes Zellers. “So, while we have a very successful program by the numbers, our real success is growing and celebrating the aptitude that many young people have for working with and solving problems with their hands, helping an essential industry survive, and pushing a community to recognize the importance and value of these jobs.” p Visit www.MTAM.org/career-training to view sample OTJ Practicums or submit your resume.

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Tail-Wagging Warblers

W

ith my glasses off I have pretty poor long-distance vision but when out for a hike I do not wear my glasses.

I see and recognize animals by shape, color and distinctive movement. When I notice color or movement, I use a long lens on a camera or a pair of binoculars to take a better look. The lens and binoculars correct my vision by bypassing the bad parts of the ill-shaped cornea (astigmatism).

Today, I was on a walk along an uncut and overgrown field when a slightly yellow bird flew from a bush to the mowed ground about 60 feet in front of me. I quickly started considering what type of bird it was. From its size and posture, it was sitting quite tall, I had four possibilities. Then the blurry smudge I was looking at began moving in a very distinctive way which made it easy to identify as a palm warbler. About every five seconds, it wagged its tail down, then up, vigorously. The movement is so distinctive it is a giveaway for the ID as palm warbler.

Palm warblers are very common in the forests of the far north. They even live beyond the Arctic Circle with very few spending their summers in the U.S. They tend to feed on the ground and typically stay low in trees, like a robin. In the fall, vast numbers migrate through our region to their wintering spot along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

Many will travel on to spend winter in Cuba. They got their name because the first specimens were collected from Hispaniola, an island near Cuba, which is densely covered in palm trees.

The palm warblers are mostly insectivores but will also feast on berries.

Like many migrating birds, they stop singing along their migration route but will make chipping sounds to each other to keep the flock together.

They also are pretty drab when they migrate south but turn bright yellow with an orange-colored cap for their spring return and of course, males are prettier than females. These birds

are also not very shy and are quite approachable; sometimes they actually may approach you.

There are other birds that wag their tails in distinctive ways, making their identification much easier. The common eastern phoebe and spotted sandpiper do a quick up-and-down tail wag. A whole species of uncommon birds called wagtails do their wagging side to side.

As with other warblers, the palm warbler numbers are reduced by habitat loss in Canada and in their wintering areas. Watch for the wagging tails of these birds as they migrate through the Chesapeake Bay area. p

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

BY MARIA PRICE

A Garden Gem in More Than One Way

A

beautiful late summer bloomer, jewelweed is a native plant that is a bit on the wild side. Impatiens capensis, also known as spotted touch-me-not, disperses ripe seeds explosively when touched. It is related to the tropical bedding impatiens, and there are great drifts of jewelweed found in the northern states and Canadian provinces, wherever moisture and shade are abundant. Shady streambanks and boggy areas are what it loves.

Jewelweed is an annual, but because of its great seed dispersal it reliably comes back. It grows 3 to 4 feet tall with orange, elf-cap shaped flowers, often with some reddish-brown markings. Jewelweed is nectar-rich, attracting both butterflies and hummingbirds. The nectar can contain upward of 43 percent sugar, much higher than that produced by other flowers. The ruby-throated hummingbird is considered the plant’s primary pollinator but it is also visited by a

number of flies, bees and wasps. The spicebush swallowtail can also be seen on its blossoms. The peak of the southbound migration of the ruby-throated hummingbird coincides with the height of the jewelweed blooming period. This provides the energy needed for the hummingbirds to make this difficult trip.

Not only is this plant great for pollinators, it’s useful medicinally for humans. Crushed jewelweed stems can be used to treat poison ivy and nettle stings. The stem can be slit, crushed and rubbed on the affected area. The best part is at the base of the plant where reddish protuberances that resemble little prop-roots extend out from the lower stem.

Dr. Robert Rosen, a chemist at Rutgers University in New Jersey, identified the active ingredient in jewelweed as lawsone. It binds to the same sites on the skin as urushiol, the active component of poison ivy. If applied

quickly after contact with poison ivy, lawsone beats the urushiol to those sites, locking it out.

To keep jewelweed available during the year, I make a simple blend of one part chopped stem to 2 parts rubbing alcohol. Make sure to label it for an external use only. That way, if you encounter poison ivy in the winter, you can externally rub your skin with this blend until the itching stops. p Have a gardening question?

SPORTING LIFE

FISHFINDER: As the temperatures have dropped the bite has improved remarkably for rockfish, bluefish, white perch, spot, mackerel and catfish, just about every fish in the Bay. To the south, from Point Lookout and toward the mouth of the Bay the bite for spotted seatrout and redfish is outstanding. This is the autumn feed-up. The chum bite is good for both rock and blues, with some broaching 24 inches. White perch are still in the shallows but not for long and they are feeding up heartily. If you can’t find them, try the channel edges at the trib mouths in 15 to 20 feet. The norfolk spot and a few croaker are still here but will be heading back to the ocean soon, so get in on live lining while you can. Trolling for rock is excellent with small to medium bucktails but have some metal handy, like spoons and jigs with short wire leaders, in case the blues and spanish show up. crabbing is exploding everywhere and they’re big and heavy. It’s not going to get any better than this.

The Bobwhite Quail Game

Dennis and Hobbes

H

obbes, my young black Lab, was bounding along through the thick thigh-high brush far off to my left when he hit the distinct odor of bobwhite quail. I saw him alert, slide to a stop, lift his head into the air to determine direction, then relocate, lowering his nose to search for more scent, deep in the brush.

ASOS PRESENTS

MOON & TIDES

It was his fifth alert of the day and when I saw him tense again, pausing a moment just to be sure, then lunge forward and gingerly grab his prey, I was elated. Bounding back through the blossoming autumn weed he held his prize proudly aloft and presented it to my hand.

I took the bright chartreuse tennis ball, moist with dog spit and bobwhite training scent, and placed it in my shoulder bag along with the five others he had already found. Hobbes was cleaning up on tennis balls again.

Earlier that morning I had left my pup imprisoned in the pickup a good distance from the field, while I randomly distributed about 15 balls, freshly anointed with training scent, well out of Hobbes’ line of sight. For his part Hobbes protested, howling loudly and mightily about being excluded from this part of the process.

After pitching the balls into the densest and most likely cover throughout the two-acre field, I was depending on my buddy to search them out. I had no idea, glancing back, where any one of those furry missiles landed but I had a lot of confidence in my partner.

malls, I trained my bird dogs by running them in those very fields, with the permission of understanding farmers. Depending on Maryland’s plentiful native quail populations to inspire, the pups I raised instinctively and easily got the idea that there was plenty of game afoot and how to find it.

These days one has to travel far to find any kind of bucolic, upland landscape with bobwhite quail in residence. Once the most populous and popular game bird in the state, they have long disappeared from the wild places close to where I live. Development and modern agricultural practices have virtually eliminated the quail everywhere but in the furthest reaches of the state.

Though I now travel long distances to find a good number of my favorite game birds, I still need to acquaint my dog early and often with their scent, their habitat and just how the pup and I are going to work together to bag them. It’s a somewhat complicated operation that has to be simplified in order to practice nearby and often.

Thankfully a vacant overgrown piece of ground, a bag full of used ten-

nis balls (Hobbes’ most favorite of all objects), various training scents (pheasant, grouse, quail, etc.), and my pup’s sense of endless play take care of that process. He never tires of busting brush to locate the odorous objects and deliver them back to my hand. Endless repetition is automatic because he knows I’ll always just take them out when he’s finished and hide them again. He has me trained.

In the process he’s also come to know just how far away he should range (about 25 yards) which direction to take (quartering the fields, always in front and methodically) and where to concentrate his attention (the thicker and nastier the better). He listens for my whistle (usually), changing directions at a single chirp, or going in a new direction at my pointing or promptly returning to me at multiple blasts.

He has also discovered, when first exposed to live quail, that the little buggers will explode into flight when he gets too close, and that they, occasionally, will fall to the ground at the sound of gunfire, and then he can again retrieve them. A happy coincidence, both in his opinion and mine. p WEDNESDAY

Keira Knightley and Gugu Mbatha-Raw in Misbehaviour

Misbehaviour

The Miss World competition is rocked by changing times in this light comedy

I

n 1970, Sally Alexander (Keira Knightley: The Aftermath) is just hoping for a place at the table. Interviewing for a position at University College London, Sally wants to complete her degree and one day become a history professor. She’s got plenty of ideas for research, but the panel of male interviewers just want to know what her husband thinks about her taking time away from household duties.

Tired of men telling her she should settle down and focus on raising her child, Sally joins the Women’s Liberation Movement. She and her fellow feminists are hoping to tear down the patriarchy and create a world where women can choose to pursue higher education whether or not men think they ought to.

There’s just one problem – no one cares about the Women’s Liberation Movement.

With the papers filled with stories of global turmoil and Londoners protesting apartheid, the WLM is having trouble getting their message heard by a large audience. Sally and her fellow feminist Jo Robinson (Jessie Buckley: I’m Thinking of Ending Things) develop a plan: If they protest the upcoming Miss World competition, they’re sure to make headlines.

Long viewed as a “cattle market” by feminist circles, The Miss World competition is still one of the most popular yearly events on television.

With millions of global viewers, the competition seeks beauty from around the world. Feminists argue the competition is demeaning—the competitors

are measured, weighed and made to parade around in their bathing suit.

It’s also being hosted by notorious “benign misogynist” Bob Hope (Greg Kinnear: The Red Sea Diving Resort).

With a plan set, the women prepare to make a statement the world can’t ignore.

In Grenada and South Africa, two women are hoping for a different seat at the table. Grenada contestant Jennifer Hosten (Gugu Mbatha-Raw: Summerland) is hoping to set her career up by placing well in a competition that’s never selected a nonwhite winner. Pearl Jansen (Loreece Harrison: Brave New World), is the first black contestant South Africa has ever sent to Miss World. Her entry in the competition is purely political as the Miss World organizers asked the country to send two contestants, one black and one white to avoid apartheid protestors. Pearl is given the title Miss Africa South and told that if she speaks about the injustices occurring in the country, she’ll never be allowed to return.

Will the WLM’s planned protest finally get the grievances of women on the international stage? And can Hosten and Jansen find a place in a white-dominated pageant?

A film with lots of good ideas and little follow-through, Misbehaviour is a pleasantly shallow romp through feminist history. Director Philippa Lowthorpe (The Crown) tries very hard to make a crowd-pleaser of a film.

All the women are spunky and fun, all the misogyny they face is light-hearted enough not to seem insidious, and the movie ends with a wry note that the fight to stop the patriarchy is ongoing.

Lowthorpe has made a fine light movie, but the issues she raises don’t have light answers. This is a movie

that would be a good introduction to feminist history for younger audiences and casual viewers. But the weakness of the film lies in her determination to tell too many stories. Alexander and Robinson’s protest is clearly the main story, but the film rightly brings up Hosten and Jansen’s barrier-breaking entry into the Miss World competition.

Though Hosten brings up that the feminist movement has a history of only being interested in white women’s causes, the film falters in holding the movement truly accountable.

Instead, Lowthorpe chooses to back off of controversial topics and celebrate women in general. Yes, Alexander and Hosten are at odds, but why choose a side when you can call them both heroes?

Though the film isn’t sure what it wants to say beyond women are great, patriarchy is bad, the charm of the lead performances makes Misbehaviour a fun romp through condensed feminist theory. Buckley especially shines as an anarchist who wants nothing more than to cause as much trouble as possible. She’s a wonderful foil to Knightley’s more stoic planner, gleefully spray-painting slogans and causing havoc where she can. Both Mbatha-Raw and Harrison shine as women trying to prove their worth in a competition that has largely ignored them. While other contestants throw fits and pout, they must maintain serene composure at all times. Any mistake has consequences far beyond a simple beauty pageant.

If you’re hoping to get your family interested in the women’s movement, Misbehaviour would be an excellent stepping stone. A light-hearted look at how far we have (and haven’t) come as a society, Misbehaviour will encourage young ones to fight for their dreams.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The basic principle of spiritual life is that our problems become the very place to discover wisdom and love.� Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield made that brilliant observation. It’s always worth meditating on, but it’s an especially potent message for you during the first three weeks of October 2020. In my view, now is a highly favorable time for you to extract uplifting lessons by dealing forthrightly with your knottiest dilemmas. I suspect that these lessons could prove useful for the rest of your long life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “My business is to love,� wrote poet Emily Dickinson. I invite you to adopt this motto for the next three weeks.

It’s an excellent time to intensify your commitment to expressing compassion, empathy, and tenderness. To do so will not only bring healing to certain allies who need it; it will also make you smarter. I mean that literally. Your actual intelligence will expand and deepen as you look for and capitalize on opportunities to bestow blessings. (P.S. Dickinson also wrote, “My business is to sing.� I recommend you experiment with that mandate, as well.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I’m the diamond in the dirt, that ain’t been found,� sings Cancerian rapper Curtis Jackson, also known as 50 Cent. “I’m the underground king and I ain’t been crowned,� he adds. My reading of the astrological omens suggests that a phenomenon like that is going on in your life right now. There’s something unknown about you that deserves and needs to be known. You’re not getting the full credit and acknowledgment you’ve earned through your soulful accomplishments. I hereby authorize you to take action! Address this oversight.

Rise up and correct it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The author bell hooks (who doesn’t capitalize her name) has spent years as a professor in American universities. Adaptability has been a key strategy in her efforts to educate her students. She writes, “One of the things that we must do as teachers is twirl around and around, and find out what works with the situation that we’re in.� That’s excellent advice for you right now—in whatever field you’re in.

Old reliable formulas are irrelevant, in my astrological opinion. Strategies that have guided you in the past may not apply to the current scenarios. Your best bet is to twirl around and around as you experiment to find out what works.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have,� says motivational speaker Robert Holden. Hallelujah and amen! Ain’t that the truth! Which is why it’s so crucial to periodically take a thorough inventory of your relationship with yourself.

And guess what, Virgo: Now would be a perfect time to do so. Even more than that: During your inventory, if you discover ways in which you treat yourself unkindly or carelessly, you can generate tremendous healing energy by working to fix the glitches. The coming weeks could bring pivotal transformations in your bonds with others if you’re brave enough to make pivotal transformations in your bonds with yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In her high school yearbook, Libra-born Sigourney Weaver arranged to have this caption beneath her official photo: “Please, God, please, don’t let me be normal!� Since then, she has had a long and acclaimed career as an actor in movies.

ScreenPrism.com calls her a pioneer of female action heroes. Among her many exotic roles: a fierce warrior who defeats monstrous aliens; an exobiologist working with indigenous people on the moon of a distant planet in the 22nd century; and a naturalist who lives with mountain gorillas in Rwanda. If you have ever had comparable fantasies about transcending normalcy, Libra, now would be a good time to indulge those fantasies— and begin cooking up plans to make them come true.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio-born Prince Charles has been heir to the British throne for 68 years. That’s an eternity to be patiently on hold for his big chance to serve as king. His mother Queen Elizabeth just keeps going on and on, living her very long life, ensuring that Charles remains second-in-command. But I suspect that many Scorpios who have been awaiting their turn will finally graduate to the next step in the coming weeks and months. Will Charles be one of them?

Will you? To increase your chances, here’s a tip: Meditate on how to be of even greater devotion to the ideals you love to serve.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Inventor Buckminster Fuller was a visionary who loved to imagine ideas and objects no one had ever dreamed of before. One of his mottoes was, “There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.�

I recommend that you spend quality time in the coming weeks meditating on butterfly-like things you’d love to have as part of your future—things that may resemble caterpillars in the early going.

Your homework is to envision three such innovations that could be in your world

by October 1, 2021.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): During World War II, Hollywood filmmakers decided it would be a good idea to create stories based on graphic current events: for example, American Marines waging pitched battles against Japanese soldiers on South Pacific islands.

But audiences were cool to that approach.

They preferred comedies and musicals with “no message, no mission, no misfortune.� In the coming weeks, I advise you to resist any temptation you might have to engage in a similar disregard of current events. In my opinion, your mental health requires you to be extra discerning and well-informed about politics—and so does the future of your personal destiny.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Pretending is imagined possibility,� observes actor Meryl Streep. “Pretending is a very valuable life skill and we do it all the time.� In other words, fantasizing about events that may never happen is just one way we use our mind’s eye. We also wield our imaginations to envision scenarios that we actually want to create in our real lives. In fact, that’s the first step in actualizing those scenarios: to play around with picturing them; to pretend they will one day be a literal part of our world. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to supercharge the generative aspect of your imagination. I encourage you to be especially vivid and intense as you visualize in detail the future you want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “My own soul must be a bright invisible green,� wrote author and philosopher Henry David Thoreau. Novelist Tom Robbins suggested that we visualize the soul as “a cross between a wolf howl, a photon, and a dribble of dark molasses.� Nobel Prize-winning poet Wislawa Szymborska observed, “Joy and sorrow aren’t two different feelings� for the soul. Poet Emily Dickinson thought that the soul “should always stand ajar�—just in case an ecstatic experience or rousing epiphany might be lurking in the vicinity. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I invite you to enjoy your own lively meditations on the nature of your soul. You’re in a phase when such an exploration can yield interesting results.

Make up a song that cheers you up and inspires your excitement about the future.

It doesn’t have to be perfect.

COMPILED BY ANDREWS M MEEL SYNDICATION Questionable Judgment

employees were suspended without pay on Sept. 24 for turning a storage room under New York City’s Grand Central Terminal into a man cave, complete with a television, refrigerator, microwave and futon couch, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The Associated Press reported that investigators found the space after receiving an anonymous tip in February 2019 that the three—a wireman, a carpenter foreman and an electrical foreman—had built a secret room where they would “hang out and get drunk and party.”

• Ukraine International Airlines has banned a traveler from all future flights with the carrier after the unidentified woman opened an emergency door on a Boeing 737 and went for a walk on the wing as it was waiting at a gate at Boryspil International Airport in Kyiv.

CNN reported the passenger had traveled from Antalya, Turkey, with her husband and children in the Aug. 31 incident, when other passengers heard her say she was “too hot” before she popped open the emergency exit and went outside. The airline criticized her for setting an inadequate “parental example” and threatened she may face “an exceptionally high financial penalty.” Airport security and doctors on the scene determined she was “not under the influence of alcohol and/ or drugs.”

• A 51-year-old man from St. Cloud, Minnesota, was released from the Sherburne County Jail in Elk River on Sept.

12, but as he left the facility, he decided to take with him a DoorDash delivery that had been intended for a correctional officer working there. The Star News reported the officer contacted the former inmate by phone to inquire after his $29.13 order, and the man said he thought his family had sent it to him. He was cited for theft.

Caesar, a 16-year-old alpaca at the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage, was killed on Sept. 20 by a wild brown bear that tunneled under a fence while the facility was closed then left. Caesar, who had lived at the zoo for 15 years, was “a crowd favorite,” executive director Patrick Lampi told the Associated Press. The bear had been hanging around the zoo, knocking over trash cans and breaking locks, and was later euthanized when it returned. Caesar’s companion alpaca, Fuzzy Charlie, escaped the attack and was unharmed.

Lampi said a similar incident took place about 20 years ago; that bear was captured and relocated to Duluth, Minnesota.

• Officials in Dania Beach, Florida, recently upgraded signs welcoming visitors to their city, including a small one that has greeted drivers for years along Dania Beach Boulevard, but local activist Clive Taylor took exception, pointing out that the sign is actually in Hollywood, not Dania Beach. “The little sign was bad enough,” Taylor, who is vice president of the Hollywood Historical Society, told the Sun Sentinel. “But to have Dania put up this mini-billboard with lights on it is wrong.” Hollywood Mayor Josh Levy says he’s confident the two towns can work together to resolve the issue.

• An octogenarian in the village of Parcoul-Chenaud, France, set off a violent explosion in his attempt to kill an annoying fly, the BBC reported in early September. Not realizing a gas canister in his home was leaking, the man used an electric fly swatter to battle the insect and caused an explosion that destroyed his kitchen and damaged the roof of his home. While the man was mostly unharmed, he has had to move to a local campsite while his family makes repairs to the home.

September 22 marked the 60th anniversary of the day 14-year-old Boy Scout Steve Jenne scored a special memento of then-Vice President Richard Nixon’s campaign visit to Jenne’s hometown of Sullivan, Illinois. Nixon took a bite of a buffalo barbecue sandwich that day, then set it down. “I looked around and thought, ‘If no one else was going to take it, I am going to take it,’” Jenne told the Herald & Review, and the leftover has been in a glass jar in Jenne’s freezer ever since. In 1988, word of the sandwich earned Jenne a spot on The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson and led his acquiring half-eaten items from Carson and fellow guest Steve Martin, as well as Tiny Tim and Henny Youngman.

Smooth Reaction A 78-year-old Spanaway, Washington, woman was alerted by her barking dog on Sept. 20, and opened her door to find “a man,” she told KIRO, standing in front of her. As “he turned and started to leave,” the woman, identified as Sandy, said, “Oh, no, you don’t,” and picked up her shotgun and cocked it. The alleged intruder plopped down on her porch steps and the two waited for police to arrive.

Government in Action The Opa-Locka (Florida) City Commission voted 4-1 on Sept. 9 to repeal a 13-year-old ordinance that made wearing saggy pants a crime, the Miami Herald reported. Around town, visitors can see signs reading, “No ifs, ands or butts ...

It’s the city law!” and showing two young men with low-riding waistbands, but Vice Mayor Chris Davis explained: “I felt it disproportionately affected a certain segment of our population, which is young African American men.” The ACLU of Florida agreed.

Frontiers of Farming Cockroach farms are not new in China, where the bugs have long been used in Chinese medicine, but a new facility near the eastern city of Jinan is gaining attention as a way to deal with food waste while producing organic protein supplements for animal feeds. In four industrial-sized hangars, Australia’s ABC News reported, rows of shelves are filled with food waste collected from restaurants through an elaborate system of pipes. A moat filled with roach-eating fish surrounds each building to keep the roaches from escaping. “In total there are 1 billion cockroaches,” farm manager Yin Diansong said. “Every day they can eat 50 tonnes of kitchen waste.” Said project director Li Yanrong, “If we can farm cockroaches on a large scale, we can provide protein that benefits the entire ecological cycle.”

Armed and Clumsy A Pineville (Louisiana) police officer who reported he’d been “ambushed” on Sept. 20 has been accused of shooting himself instead, according to authorities. The Pineville Police Department said John Goulart Jr. originally claimed that he’d been shot once in the leg, and that a second shot had hit the rear door of his police car while he was at a shopping center. But Police Chief Don Weatherford told KALB: “(E)vidence gives you some pretty clear direction and it led us to reinterviewing Officer Goulart Jr. and he admitted at that point that he had not been truthful with us during the investigation.” Goulart was charged with filing a false police report and malfeasance; he’s also been

placed on administrative leave.

minutes from the letters in: Lollygagging (40 words)

This word showed up in the mid 1800’s, and seemed to imply something a bit stronger than simply ‘moving slow’ or ‘fooling around.’ Here’s an example from an old newspaper, “Those lascivious lollygagging lumps of licentiousness who disgrace the common decencies of life by their lovesick fawnings at our public dances...� Oh. I guess back then when a couple was seen lollygagging in public, well, they probably were moving slow and fooling around.
