Let’s Hear it for Restaurants! The 2021 Dining Guide

“W

e’re still here!” It was the battle cry of the Super Bowl-bound New England Patriots two years ago, shouted by then 41-year-old quarterback Tom Brady and quickly picked up by fans as a team chant.

Emerging from one full year of the COVID-19 pandemic, “We’re still here!” might as well be the chant of the local restaurant industry. The owners, employees, waitstaff, and bartenders were among the quickest to be hit by social distancing limits, and since then they’ve seen a roller coaster of state and county-imposed rules: takeout only, outdoor only, and capacity limits of all sizes at various times.

Every inventive tactic these businesses came up with to keep the lights on was like a rallying cry of “We’re still here!” Outdoor

tents. Individual seating pods.

Cocktails to go. High-end, multicourse holiday takeout meals.

Contactless, QR-code menus.

Again and again, restaurants have reinvented themselves.

Their perseverance has given people a little bit of normalcy in this topsy-turvy year. Even under a stay-at-home order, we still got to enjoy meals from our favorite food spots—we just brought them home in a bag.

Later, some of us embraced dining al fresco (bring on the patio heaters!). With virtually no travel happening, dining at an outdoor table one evening with my husband felt like a real treat—I immediately got that vacation feeling when my oysters and cocktail arrived.

This week we bring you CBM Bay Weekly’s annual Dining

Guide, and while there are still differences from the pre-pandemic dining scene (hello, masks), capacity limits in Chesapeake Country have been lifted for the first time in a year.

As more Marylanders are being vaccinated every day, and coronavirus cases continue to slow, things are looking much better for those who like to dine out— and those whose livelihoods depend on it.

In the Bay Weekly Dining Guide (page 8) you’ll see how restaurants are looking ahead to expanded dining opportunities and warmer weather. In Anne Arundel County, the popular Annapolis Restaurant Week is back this month, and Calvert County has specials going on, too. We hope this guide will inspire you with ideas for a

meal out, and help answer your questions about what to expect with the return of less-restricted dining (plenty of safety precautions are still being taken, of course).

The unique challenges of the past year have tried the patience, tested the faith, and strained the bank accounts of a lot of people in Chesapeake Country—with restaurant families at the front of the line. However, like Tom Brady—who is now 43, and still winning Super Bowls with no plans to retire— the dining industry can proudly p shout, “We’re still here!”

Designating a Chesapeake National Recreation Area will highlight that reality.”

WORK GROUP FORMED TO DESIGNATE CHESAPEAKE BAY AS NATIONAL PARK UNIT

BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

A

push to designate the Chesapeake Bay as a recognized National Park Service unit is getting some traction on Capitol Hill.

Last week, U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen and Congressman John Sarbanes (both D-Md.) formed a working group of Maryland and Virginia lawmakers and more than 30 regional orga-

4 • BAY WEEKLY • March 18 - March 25, 2021

nizations, to explore the possibility of a Chesapeake National Recreation Area.

A National Park Service designation would deliver more federal resources to the region and help conserve the Bay. The working group will collaborate on legislation for such a designation, seeking public comment to take into account.

“Marylanders know the Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure. Designating a Chesapeake National Recreation Area will highlight that reality—and bring national recognition to the importance of the Bay and its natural, cultural, historical, and recreational significance,” said Sen. Van Hollen.

The lawmakers say designation as a National Park Service unit could bring tourism opportunities as well as important waterways protection. The working group also includes Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.), both U.S. senators and two members of Congress from Virginia, and

groups ranging from conservation advocates to oyster growers to watermen and sportfishing groups.

“Chesapeake Bay restoration has always been a grassroots effort from the ground up, and I am confident this National Recreation Area pursuit will be no different,” said Sen. Cardin.

The Annapolis-based Chesapeake Conservancy led the charge last fall with a campaign and virtual race to drum up support for a new Chesapeake National Recreation Area.

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 additional national and international recognition.”

Other 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, which include some of the most-visited parks in the nation.

These recreation areas often explicitly allow boating, fishing, and hunting, and feature expanded recreational access.

As Chesapeake Conservancy points out, the Bay is formally recognized by the National Park Service (NPS) as nationally significant. It’s the largest estuary in the U.S. and the focus of one of the largest environmental restoration efforts in the world. For these reasons, the nonprofit argues, it’s only right for the Bay to be recognized as an NPS unit.

USCG TO ENFORCE NEW BOATING CUTOFF SWITCH LAW

BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

R

emember the kill switch and lanyard that came with your boat? A new federal boating law requires you to use it every time your boat is going fast enough to get up on plane.

The Coast Guard announced that as of April 1, 2021, it will implement the new law passed by Congress. It applies to operators of recreational vessels less than 26 feet, with an engine capable of 115 lbs. of static thrust, at 3hp or more.

Kill switch use will be required only when the primary helm is not within an enclosed cabin, and when the boat is operating “on plane or above displacement speed,” the Coast Guard specifies. Cutoff switches would not need to be used when operating in no-wake zones, trolling, or docking, for example.

An engine cut-off switche (ECOS) or kill switch attaches to the helm or outboard motor. It typically includes a cord that attaches to the switch, automatically shutting the vessel’s motor down when it’s yanked hard enough.

The ECOS prevents runaway vessels and the havoc they can cause—continuing on course with no one aboard, or running in circles and striking a driver who is stranded in the water with the propeller. “These dangerous runaway vessel situations put the ejected operator, other users of the waterway, and marine law enforcement officers and other first responders in serious danger,” the Coast Guard says.

In 2019, Bay Bulletin reported on a terrifying situation caught on video near Bethany Beach, Del. A woman and child were thrown from a small powerboat towing a tube with two more children on it. The unmanned boat continued to circle in a high-traffic area on the Indian River, while Delaware Fish and Wildlife Natural Resources Police managed to pull up alongside it and shut it down. The boat’s operator wasn’t using an engine cutoff switch.

The majority of boats have been built for decades equipped with an ECOS, and the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018 (Section 503) required makers of covered recreational boats (less than 26 feet in length, with an engine capable of 115 lbs. of static thrust) to have an ECOS installed on boats produced after December 2019.

The Coast Guard says the 2021 law simply requires recreational boaters to use the critical safety equipment that is

already present on their boat. In Maryland and Virginia (along with 42 other states) it’s already required to use an ECOS on personal watercraft.

Wireless ECOS have recently been developed and are approved for use under the new law. The operator carries an electronic fob that senses when it is submerged in water, activating the ECOS and turning the engine off. These are beginning to be available as manufacturer-installed options, and you can also buy them on the aftermarket.

The Coast Guard recommends you check your ECOS system regularly to make sure it works. Read more about the new Coast Guard requirement here: https:// uscgboating.org/recreational-boaters/ Engine-Cut-Off-Switch-FAQ.php

CALVERT PALEONTOLOGIST’S STUDY ESTIMATES MEGALODON SIZE AT 65 FEET

BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

J

ust how big was the prehistoric super-sized shark megalodon? Scientists have been debating the point for more than 100 years.

While the extinct Otodus megalodon is often regarded as the largest shark to ever live, no paleontologist had ever been able to give a good estimate of its size—until now. A paper by a paleontology curator at Calvert Marine Museum (CMM) estimates the megatooth shark at 65 feet long, using a novel new estimation method.

Maryland Day 2021: In-Person (and Virtual) History Celebrations

BY KATHY KNOTTS

I

t’s time to break out your Old Line State flag—Maryland Day is upon us again. Marylanders celebrate our shared stake in the territory and body politic planted over 300 years ago in 1634, when Lord Baltimore’s colonists made landfall on a tiny island in a big river in an unknown world.

While the official date of the founding of the colony is March 25, sites in Anne Arundel County will celebrate the weekend of March 19 through 21. This year’s celebration still features great family activities, and includes both in-person and virtual events.

In Anne Arundel, Four Rivers Heritage Area has helped organize and promote Maryland’s history, heritage and culture. This year’s Maryland Day theme is Better Together, and with events at 20 locations, there are plenty of opportunities for togetherness—at a safe distance.

“These family-friendly events will explore how our state’s history, heritage,

and culture has handled diversity, equity, and inclusion,” says Erik Evans, the event’s marketing director.

A wealth of historic locales, farms, parks, businesses and museums invite you in to explore for just $1 or free.

For those who dream of sailing the Bay, the tall ship Pride of Baltimore II makes its season debut with a visit to City Dock, and the Annapolis Maritime Museum hosts a model boat-building challenge where you can test your boat making skills.

If you’d rather take an armchair tour, visit downtown Annapolis virtually with Rise Up! an African American tour by local historian Janice Hayes-Williams or participate in a virtual workshop led by historian Elinor Thompson about the Brewer Hill Cemetery. Watermark offers an in-person tour called Gourd to Gavel, exploring African American life from 1700 to the present.

Anne Arundel County Public Library (AACPL) will host virtual events highlighting the life of Maryland State Senator Verda Freeman Welcome, the second black woman to be elected to state senate in the early 1950s, and the library will partner with Annapolis Pride to host an event with Dr. Chris Mielke.

MEGALODON from page 5

Dr. Victor Perez and two other paleontologist/scholars conducted a study using an ultrarare set of teeth from one individual shark to map its overall body length.

Full sets of teeth, known as associated fossil dentitions, allowed the study’s authors to measure the width of the megalodon’s jaw. In many living sharks, there is a precise relationship between the width of the jaws and the length of the shark.

So Dr. Perez and his team measured the associated fossil dentitions of 11 individual sharks from five species. Four were extinct apex predators, and one was the modern-day great white shark, Carcharo6 • BAY WEEKLY • March 18 - March 25, 2021

don carcharias. Based on the largest set of teeth from Otodus megalodon, the authors estimated a maximum body length of 65 feet for the prehistoric shark.

Megalodon teeth have frequently been found near Calvert Cliffs on the Chesapeake Bay, and as recently as 2018, paleontologists found fossilized dolphin tail bones that featured bite marks from a megalodon.

You can learn more about the megalodon at Calvert Marine Museum, including getting up close with a restoration of the Carcharocles megalodon‘s giant, gaping jaws. To plan a visit, go to calvertmarinemuseum.com.

Blackwall Hitch Annapolis Coastal-Inspired Concept Creates a Local Connection

E

astport favorite Blackwall Hitch was opened in 2014 by James King, restaurateur and CEO of Titan Hospitality.

King wanted the restaurant to feature a nautical-inspired dining theme that would blend the area’s finest in tastes and talents. Seasonally driven and locally sourced food and spirits, local music and friendly staff greet diners upon arrival.

“From the moment you enter Blackwall Hitch, you sense the attention to detail that has been harnessed to bring you and your companions a complete and satisfying dining experience,” King says. “You sense the urban-chic vibe with a connection to history, see and feel the attention to detail with comfortable, creative spaces for gatherings, smell the salty and savory aromas wafting from

the oyster bar and dining area, and hear the bustle and music in the pub.”

Chef David Montenez has more than 15 years’ experience in upscale dining.

Montenez has been bringing his combination of culinary skill and management background to food scenes in Las Vegas, New York and Florida.

The coastally-inspired concept is evident in the cuisine. The menu draws upon classic American techniques with regional inspiration. Favorite dishes include saffron risotto with jumbo shrimp and scallops, served with a lemon butter sauce, and roasted whole bronzini, a slow-roasted Mediterranean sea bass topped with lemon butter sauce and basil oil, served with grilled lemon halves and seasonal vegetables.

Her ever-evolving menu is evidence that Alvarado listens to her customers.

As customers desire to eat less meat and more vegetables and legumes, the Bread and Butter team is developing vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options.

Alvarado recommends newcomers try her Salsa de huevos, a humble breakfast dish from Mexico inspired by a team member’s memories of home.

It includes scrambled eggs in a house salsa and is served with refried beans and corn tortillas.

K

evin and Monica Phillips found the perfect location to open their dream restaurant in North Beach, the town they had called home for 10 years.

“We started planning about three or four years before we opened in 2018,” Monica says. “We had been in the restaurant industry for over 20 years.

We love food and drinks and wanted to share our love with the neighborhood.”

In the kitchen, you’ll find Kevin and Monica at the helm.“Kevin and I are the chefs,” Monica says. “We work with our cooks and encourage creativity and suggestions from the team on menu items. The crab cake recipe has been Kevin’s personal recipe for more years than I know.”

The restaurant prides itself on its made-from-scratch dishes and specializes in Southern coastal cuisine. “We can list every ingredient in it because it was made here,” Monica says. “We offer fresh burgers, house-made sauces and daily deliveries of bread from a local bakery.”

Hook and Vine happily accommodates most dietary needs, such as gluten free, vegetarian, vegan and dairy free.

A few of Monica’s favorite offerings include Kickin’ Shrimp Tempura (also a Bay Weekly staff fave), crab dip with pretzel bread and the jambalaya.

Keep an eye out for the spring menu, which will soon make an appearance.

“Wine dinners are being planned and finalized for upcoming months,” Monica says. “We are also working on Easter packages for pick-up, expanding our outdoor dining plan, updating our happy hour menu and adding wine, bourbon and beer flights.”

esseJays Latin Inspired Kitchen serves up delicious, authentic Latin food in South Anne Arundel County, and patrons have been flocking there since it opened. “We fell in love with South County when we visited it,” says Jayleen Fonseca, who co-owns the restaurant in Churchton with husband Jesse Ramirez.

“We also realized that there weren’t Latin food restaurants in the area and we thought we could fill that void.”

Once the site of Swamp Circle Saloon, the restaurant started over from scratch—almost. “We’ve kept some of that legacy in our building, like the wooden accent walls and the inside bar, both came from Swamp Circle Saloon,” Fonseca says. “We dubbed our outdoor patio and bar El Swampo and that has stuck with the locals.”

El Swampo won Best of the Bay for Outdoor Dining and JesseJays racked up the wins in nine other categories.

The menu features dishes with the flavors of Puerto Rico, Mexico and Cuba—many of which are old family recipes. To keep things fresh and your taste buds intrigued, Chef Jesse creates new items weekly. He recommends the Churrasco skirt steak grilled to your preference, topped with a vibrant chimichurri sauce and served with beans and rice.

The staff is ready to get back in the swing of things as the seasons shift.

“We are hiring cooks and daytime servers and El Swampo is opening back up soon,” Fonseca says. “We’ve been working on improvements behind the bar to better serve our guests and our food trailer is moving all around Anne Arundel and Calvert Counties. We’ve been expanding our catering business.

It’s an exciting place to be.”

n 1997, Sal and Maria Lubrano brought real Italian cuisine to Calvert County when they opened their first location in Dunkirk.

In 2017 Chesapeake Beach welcomed the opening of Mamma Lucia by the Bay. Maria grew up in her mother’s deli in Naples. She brought the recipes with her so that when you dine at Mamma Lucia, you are enjoying regional, local favorites from southern Italy. The restaurants feature Italian products whenever possible, including tomato sauce and mozzarella.

out dinners—feeding four or five—during the pandemic. The budget-friendly option has been so popular that Maria plans on keeping them on the carryout menu. Another popular item created over the year has been the pizza kits—a ready-to-make package of all the ingredients you need to make an authentic pizza at home.

The restaurant is poised to introduce an-

Map Makes Takeout Easier

FOR THE PAST 12 months, Calvert County small businesses have been staying afloat in the face of great hardship. Many county restaurants, food trucks, wineries, breweries and local farm product producers are currently offering take-out, curbside pick-up and delivery options to continue to serve the community and make ends meet.

The Department of Economic Development has launched the Calvert To Go program to support these local establishments and make it easier for you to support your favorite restaurants by making a conscious effort to order to-go food and beverages from these businesses. “It was developed as an alternative to Restaurant Week due to the pandemic and has allowed us to highlight how many places in Calvert are offering carryout and delivery options now,” says Tourism Program Specialist Hillary Dailey.

An interactive map points you towards restaurants, food trucks or breweries that offer takeout, making it easy to find dining options that will satisfy your appetite.

“The Calvert To Go map incorporates a wider range of food options – with restaurants, wineries, breweries, stationary food trucks, sweet treat options, as well as local producers and, soon, farmers markets,” Dailey says. There is also a map specific to North Beach.

To make it fun, you can also download the Calvert To Go Bingo card and see how quickly you can achieve a four-in-a-row.

irates Cove in Galesville has been around since 1975, but few know the story of how it came to be the popular spot it is today. “There are not a lot of waterfront restaurants on the Chesapeake with even fewer opportunities to create new ones,” says Anthony Clarke, co-owner of Pirates Cove.

As Clarke and business partner Michael Galway, of the Irish Restaurant Company, were purchasing what is now Killarney House in Davidsonville, they heard that the owner of Pirates Cove was planning to retire. “Michael and I struck a deal to purchase the Pirates Cove Restaurant and Hotel business and took it over without closing the restaurant operation on April 15, 2015,” says Clarke.

“We have continually made improvements since then to the building and the menu offerings to what it is today.”

The restaurant has proven itself as a repeat winner in numerous categories in Best of the Bay awards from both CBM Bay Weekly and Chesapeake Bay Magazine and continues to be recognized as a gem along the Bay. “All waterfront dining spots sit in a high demand category during the summer months,” Clarke says. “Our aim is to grow the reputation of Pirates Cove into a place not just for the summer months but for 12 months of the year.”

The team at Pirates Cove is committed to the community—and the community is committed to Pirates Cove. From coat drives to feeding healthcare workers during the pandemic, the restaurant is well-known for its fundraising activities.

“We’ve created fundraising opportunities within the local community, which has firmly established us within the Galesville community,” Clarke says.

During the pandemic, Pirates Cove began offering mixed cocktails, beers and specialty drinks along with a carryout menu for curbside pickup. The restaurant plans on keeping those elements to go and is supporting legislation that

would allow restaurants to do so.

Pirates Cove is also considered one of the best spots in town for live music.

“Our music line up is going great,” Clarke says. “Plenty of local acts have persevered through it with us in many different formats.” Clarke says that the entertainment calendar will grow as the seasons change.

The changing seasons means a new menu, too. Chef Steve Hardison is currently working on the spring/summer menu. “It will feature some old favorites returning and new creations,” Clarke says. “We are excited to open up outside areas and the dock bar as soon as weather permits.”

In the meantime, patrons can enjoy oyster night every Thursday, with shucking by local fisherman Adam Keller.

n 2010, Mark Tinordi and Jeff Kogok purchased former neighborhood watering hole Snyder’s and created the Severna Park Taphouse, a family friendly restaurant with an eye on the burgeoning craft beer industry.

March 18 - March 25, 2021 • BAY WEEKLY • 17

CBM BAY WEEKLY DINING GUIDE 2021 The restaurant is known for its constantly rotating menu of special release and hard-to-find craft beers, with 41 beers on tap, two nitro taps, and a custom hand cranked cask. The restaurant offers outdoor seating—including a covered outdoor pavilion—and boasts great food, live music, plenty of televisions for sports and a wide selection of wine and spirits, too.

“They had a vision to create a comfortable restaurant where friends can gather to enjoy exceptional food and great craft beer,” says General Manager Jessica Tinordi, wife of owner Mark, a retired Washington Capitals hockey player. Their daughter Natalie also works at the restaurant as a manager.

In the kitchen, chef Edwin Santos specializes in American coastal cuisine. “Edwin’s love for scratch cooking and creativity can be seen across our menu, from handrolled shrimp egg rolls, fresh pico de gallo, and hand-made stuffed jalapenos, to a local favorite, hand-battered flash fried spicy shrimp.” says Tinordi.

The menu is an eclectic mix of American fare, incorporating Chesapeake Bay dishes like Maryland crab dip, jumbo lump crab cakes, rockfish tacos, a signature Certified Angus Beef “Taphouse Burger” and smoked meat specials. On the horizon is a newly added brunch offering and a Spring menu. ‘The new menu will feature some patron favorites, possibly the smoked Wagyu brisket,” says Tinordi.

Taphouse also offers vegetarian, vegan and gluten-reduced options including the Beyond Burger, Chick-Un Buffalo Wrap and Quinoa Veggie Bowl.

Severna Park Taphouse: 58 W. Earleigh Heights Rd., Severna Park; 410-793-5759; www.severnaparktaphouse.com

Chef Matt Newland started cooking in college and decided to make a career of it. He then moved to Charleston, South Carolina to attend culinary school and worked there for ten years before moving to Maryland.

Newland crafts a menu highlighting Coastal California-inspired dishes with sustainably sourced, unique ingredients. Menu options include grilled avocado tacos made with corn tortillas and topped with Fresno chili dressing, and the California burger featuring a vegan patty, smashed avocado, lettuce, tomato, and grilled corn salsa.

CREATURE FEATURE

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Nature’s Builders: Paper Wasps

F

requently in the winter, the nests of wasps are visible hanging in the bare trees. I tend to see a lot of them because their silhouette looks like an owl and I’m always looking for owls. The question I always have is “Are they still filled with live stinging insects?

Are they still dangerous?” In seeking an answer to that question, I see that people are selling the nests on Etsy— hopefully without live insects.

Those large football-shaped nests are created by two different types of paper wasps, the bald-faced hornet and a species of yellow jacket. (The baldfaced hornet is actually a type of yellow jacket, not a true hornet. Hornets are larger than either of these species.)

A paper wasp chews wood and other dried plant fibers, partially digests the material, and then a papery material is created and formed into a home for a developing nursery. Yellow jacket nests tend to be larger with more insects and appear more disorganized than the bald-faced hornets.

Both nests can contain hundreds and hundreds of stinging bugs. The nests start with just a single fer-

tilized female that hid in some warm spot over the winter. In the spring, the female finds a spot to start a nest and after making a few egg chambers, the colony begins. By the end of the summer, the nest is large and the queen has started to lay eggs in each chamber.

The new female wasps will leave the nest and spend winter elsewhere in order to start a new colony. The male workers may leave the nest or stay but they will perish once there is a freeze.

Other species of yellow jackets make paper nests in the ground or in hollow spots, like a tree trunk. In the southern range, where there is no severe freezing, those colonies can continue to grow and have been recorded to have up to 100,000 individuals. The ground nesting yellow jackets in our area usually do not survive as a colony over winter.

The answer to the question about the danger of a hanging nest in winter time is that the wasps are most likely dead—but I will not be testing that theory. I do, however, feel more reassured about the occasional times I have accidently bumped into a nest.

our garden can help slow global warming. We can all do our small part to help the environment that we depend on.

Carbon gardening is a backyard technique for taming the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that we release into the atmosphere. CO2 is the principal gas most responsible for an increase in temperatures throughout the world and an increase in the number of droughts that we experience. Remember the devastating fires in Australia and California?

Carbon gardening encourages plants to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and deposit it in the soil, where it is stored as humus in organic matter.

Besides helping to restore pollinator and bird populations, locally indigenous native plants are of great help in this matter.

If you plant species native to your area, they tend to form communities of connected and mutually beneficial organisms, rather than operating as a collection of competitors. That community enhances growth and allows you to cultivate your plants sustainably without the use of chemical fertilizers. Chemical fertilizers contribute to water pollution and greenhouse gases.

Minimize the use of pesticides which release greenhouse gases and injure organisms in the soil that play a crucial role in sequestration of carbon.

24 • BAY WEEKLY • March 18 - March 25, 2021

Once your native plants are established, they will thrive without much irrigation, so saving water is an added bonus. I always remember my stand of Maximilian sunflowers, a perennial native plant that I once had planted between the driveway and main road in a narrow strip of soil.

My garden hose never reached them so they went without water.

Every fall they would bloom gloriously in blazing heat on 6-foot stems. I marveled at how they sustained themselves with no water or fertilizer.

Reducing your reliance on tilling is also a key to carbon gardening—which should be welcomed as it means less work for you. Deep digging encourages decomposition of organic matter which helps to release more carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. Spreading compost over the surface of your beds and letting the worms carry it down into the soil is much better.

Sowing cover crops over vegetable beds can help to reduce carbon loss from soil. Carbon gardening celebrates regional diversity but there is also room

for some of our beloved exotic plants.

For more information, Adrian Ayres Fisher, who previously served as the Sustainability Coordinator for Triton College in River Grove, Ill., is an articulate proponent of carbon gardening and addresses the techniques in a podcast called Growing Greener and, on her website, www.ecologicalgardening.net.

If carbon-sequestration styles of cultivation were adopted by the gardening public and agriculture, it has been estimated that this could reduce our nation’s annual emissions of carbon dioxide by up to a third.

The yellow perch run continues to inch along though the recent warming spell should have moved things up, but FISHFINDER so far success has been limited. white perch are reportedly queuing up for their spawn but reports of success with them are few and far between as well, mostly due to the windy weather and cold nights but things could heat up soon. pickerel are the lone good news story with nice fish being taken on minnows under bobbers and slow rolled spinner baits close to the bottom. Paddle tail jigs are also continuing to score in this, the only game in town right now. Keep the faith, all will be well soon.

condition if it retains its breaking strength. They rarely notice if it’s lost its surface sheen, slickness or transparency and that can be far more important than one might think. Especially during the early trophy season.

Certainly you can catch fish with your lines in their present condition and

older, wiser fish. You’re always aware of the size of the fish you’ve caught, of course, you’ve measured them—but you’ll never know the size of the rascals that saw your gear and turned aside.

Years ago, after a number of seasons of carefully comparing various

There are rods, reels, nets, knives, lures, hooks, sinkers, swivels, connectors, lubricants, flashlights, foul weather gear, sunglasses, footwear, hats, sun gaiters and masks, the list goes on and on and if you’ve got a boat—it’s even longer and more complex.

An angler’s life can be a complicated one. But let me stress that there is one simple tackle item that is especially critical and often the most overlooked of them all: your fishing lines and leaders.

Too many anglers consider monofilament and fluorocarbon in useable

you’ve probably been successful with these lines before. But the question you should be asking yourself is, will they still fool the smartest fish, the wariest big ones that have survived season after season by getting lockjaw at the first notice of a line in the water?

One unfortunate fact is that older lines, while they might stand up to stress, can be much more visible in the water than fresher line. Scuff marks, stretch marks, microscopic wear and even imbedded scum and dried algae are clear and obvious warning signs to

type lines, I discerned the definite advantages of a stealthy approach.

When chumming and fishing cut baits allowed for comparing different lines in similar situations, monofilament lines in general produced the best results, measurably better than braid or other opaque options. And that is despite the uniform use of fluorocarbon leaders of 24 inches.

Fish notice what’s around them, and though they can easily inspect the line that is nearest the bait they’re intending to eat (the leader), the smarter fish also notice any foreign objects in the

general area. If there are visible lines around them, the bigger, more wary fish tend to get extra hesitant to eat and will move to areas absent these intrusive objects.

This phenomenon is especially true at times of low tidal currents (slack tides) when the fish can easily move about. Everyone knows the bite tends to die at slack tide, fish in general don’t feed when there is no current for many reasons but one of them is their ability to easily inspect the baits.

When that happens, I found that only the best (hardest to see) lines continued to produced fish.

Those lines that still caught fish during these periods were the thinnest, freshest copolymers with fluorocarbon coatings or lines of 100 percent fluoro. Mono would only occasionally produce and braid almost never on the slack.

While this was specifically the case with bait-fishing it was also somewhat evident, to a less certain degree, with trolling and casting situations since it is almost impossible to recreate consistently comparable situations.

The advantages of fluorocarbon in all applications, however, is a reliable advantage and definitely worth the effort and expense. p

Come True

A beautiful nightmare of a film AVAIL ABLE ON AMAZON PRIME AND OTHER STREAMING SERVICES

S

arah Dunne (Julia Sarah Stone: Marlene) has been sleeping on a slide in a local park. She waits for her mother to leave before sneaking into the house to shower and change, then promptly flees. Occasionally, Sarah can convince a friend to take her in, but effectively she’s homeless.

The lifestyle is taking its toll. Sarah can’t sleep, her mind taking her through an odd black landscape at night where strange figures lurk in the shadows. The nightmares have Sarah blinking in and out of high school classes, guzzling coffee just to keep her eyes open during the day. When Sarah sees a sleep study advertised at the local coffee shop, she thinks her luck is finally changing. It’s not.

Sarah joins the study, which guarantees her a place to sleep for at least two months. Technicians strap her into monitoring suits, but stay

Sarah’s so desperate to sleep that she doesn’t worry about it too much.

After the first night, Sarah feels like a new person—she’s refreshed and alert, happily answering the researcher’s questions.

The second night, however, Sarah ends up back in her nightmare landscape, being pulled ever closer to a creepy black figure with glowing white eyes. In the morning, the researchers are eager to speak with her, and Sarah starts to suspect that their research isn’t as benign as first advertised.

Can Sarah close her eyes without being drawn back to the nightmares?

Come True is a visual feast. Anthony Scott Burns (Our House) is the oneman-band of creativity behind the film, serving as the writer, director, cinematographer, editor, and composer. It’s a pretty amazing feat. Burns crafts a neon-toned film that evokes the best of ‘70s and ‘80s horror. Think of Come True as the unholy child of John Carpenter and David Cronenberg. The film was inspired by Burns’ own issues with sleeping and hypnagogic hallucinations (which interest-

Burns turned his sleep deprivation into a beautiful film filled with retro style and some truly terrifying tracking shots of the subconscious. Watch this movie in a dark room to truly appreciate the textures and detail Burns layers in every image. Walls and figures don’t quite align, shadows claw around the frame, backgrounds shift and move. The whole film is an

exercise in creating visual anxiety. It’s a nuanced and fascinating film to look at, as it peels back layers of reality.

Though the visual elements are breathtaking, the story doesn’t quite capture the same creepy magic. There are a few jarring twists, and while the whole film operates using a sort of dream logic, it makes the story a little impenetrable. For instance, though this is Sarah’s story, we get very little to help us understand her —we’re not even sure why she won’t go home. Part of that is the overall point of Burns’ film: He wants you to feel as though you’ve been put in a dream. Come True is likely one of those films that will also come together more upon multiple viewings.

Beautiful to look at and featuring some truly startling images, Come True is the perfect spooky movie for a night in. Burns is an interesting new filmmaker with an arresting visual style, well worth a $6 rental fee. If you’re looking for some thrills this weekend and aren’t willing to commit to the four-hour Justice League: The Snyder Cut, Come True is a safe bet.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION Names in the News

Shoe Zone, a footwear retailer with stores throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland, announced March 8 that Terry Boot has been named its next chief financial officer effective immediately, according to the Evening Standard. Mr. Boot takes over the role after the unexpected departure in February of Peter Foot, who had been with the company for seven months.

Quick Thinking

An unnamed maskless woman waiting in line at a Pick ‘n’ Pay supermarket in South Africa was caught on cellphone video being confronted by a store guard who demanded she put on a mask or be thrown out of the store. On the video, she is next seen reaching up under her dress, pulling out her underwear -- a black thong -- and placing it on her face, the New York Post reported. Witnesses were mixed in their reaction. “Good lord,” one shopper was heard saying. “Brilliant,” said another.

Oops!

Federal Judge Jesse M. Furman ruled in U.S. District Court in Manhattan on Feb. 16 that Citigroup could not expect to receive repayment of nearly $500 million of the $900 million it mistakenly wired to a group of lenders last year after a contractor checked the wrong box on a digital payment form. Intending to make only an interest payment to the lenders on behalf of its client Revlon, Citi instead wired payment in full for the entire loan, and after realizing its error, asked for the money back, but some of the lenders refused, according to The New York Times. Judge Furman found that the lenders were justified in assuming the payment had been intentional. “To believe that Citibank, one of the most sophisticated financial institutions in the world, had made a mistake ... to the tune of nearly $1 billion, would have been borderline irrational,” he said in his ruling.

Citi vowed to appeal.

Creepy!

Samantha Hartsoe noticed a draft in her New York City apartment and traced it to the mirror in her bathroom, the New York Post reported on March 4. With the help of friends, Hartsoe removed the mirror and found a hole in the wall behind it leading to ... another apartment. As she documented her adventure on TikTok, Hartsoe climbed through the hole into a hallway leading to a room at the end and “a whole other apartment” with three bedrooms, a disconnected toilet, a staircase and an unlocked door (which she promptly locked). Hartsoe returned to her own apartment, showered and vowed her landlord would get an unusual call the next day.

Least Competent Criminal

Authorities in Camden County, Missouri, arrested Leigh Ann Bauman, 43, a prominent Lake of the Ozarks real estate agent and self-described “cheer mom,” on March 4 for plotting to kill her former mother-inlaw. Prosecutors say Bauman offered to pay $1,500 to a person in St. Louis who contacted the Missouri Highway Patrol and then turned informant, recording Bauman’s request that it “look like an accident,” and later saying she’s a Christian but she could ask for forgiveness later.

According to The Daily Beast, Bauman also texted her daughter, saying, “Your grandmother will die.” She is being held without bond in the Camden County Jail.

Crime Report

Detectives investigating recent thefts of catalytic converters from vehicles in Pasco, Washington, went to the mobile home of Dustin Allen Bushnell, 30, in nearby Burbank with a search warrant

on Feb. 26, and not only found converters, but also discovered a 400-pound playground slide that had been removed from a city park in December, KEPR reported. The slide had been repainted and mounted to a bunk bed in the home.

Bushnell was arrested for possession of stolen property for the slide; no charges were filed for the converters.

Awesome!

Snake breeder Justin Kobylka of northeast Georgia has been breeding ball pythons for eight years to achieve a bright golden yellow and white color combination, but recently wound up with a snake bearing three smiley face emoji-looking markings on its body. Kobylka told United Press International one in 20 of his snakes sports a smiley face, but this was the first to have three faces. He sold it for $6,000.

What Could Go Wrong?

Alexandr Kudlay, 33, and Viktoria Pustovitova, 28, of Kharkiv, Ukraine, are experimenting with a new way to preserve their on-and-off relationship: On Valentine’s Day, they handcuffed themselves together and have vowed to stay that way for three months. “We used to break up once or twice a week,” Kudlay told Reuters, but now when they disagree, “we simply stop talking instead of packing up our things and walking away.”

They take turns taking showers and give each other privacy in the bathroom by standing outside with one hand inside.

Bright Ideas

• On March 9, Eric Dion Warren, 50, was sentenced to federal prison in Lubbock, Texas, after pleading guilty to robbing a bank and using a BMW he was test-driving as his getaway car. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that, according to court documents, Warren drove to the AIM Bank in Wolfforth on June 7, 2019, handed the teller a note demanding $10,000 in small bills and showed what appeared to be a handgun. The teller complied, and Warren headed back to the dealership where he pulled out $3,000 as the down payment on the car he had been driving.

As Warren finalized the deal, the dealership received a call about the bank robbery and the connection was made. Warren was given the maximum sentence of 20 years.

• Police in Spain announced on March 12 they had foiled the plans of drug smugglers who were building a narco-submarine capable of carrying over 2 tons of cargo, the Associated Press reported. In February, police in Malaga discovered the 30-foot-long, light blue craft made of fiberglass and plywood, which they suspect was meant to “go into the high seas to meet another ship (to) take on board the drugs,” said Rafael Perez, head of the Spanish police. It was powered by two 200-horsepower engines but had never sailed. Fifty-two people were arrested in the international smuggling scheme, and hundreds of pounds of cocaine, hashish and marijuana were seized.

Sign of the Times

After many months of postponement, voting in the 74th Annual Tony Awards is underway, and the statues are scheduled to be presented with the reopening of Broadway this spring. In an unusual twist, reported The New York Times, actor Aaron Tveit, star of “Moulin Rouge!” is competing for recognition as leading actor in a musical against ... only himself. And even though there are no other nominees, Tveit could still wind up losing, as the rules require 60 percent of the vote to win. p Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.
