Saving the Dates It‘s All Happening in Chesapeake Country

have a confession to make: I’m having some trouble with the calendar. When it comes to keeping track of important dates, some people scrawl in a little notebook, while others enter appointments into the calendar app on their smartphone. Makes sense, as most people keep a phone on their person at all times. Some especially organized people (I’m looking at you, moms of multiple kids) use a shared Google Calendar to schedule all family obligations, so nobody can make the excuse that they “didn’t know” about an event on the calendar. And of course, there are those go-with-the-flow folks who take their commitments one day at a time, relying on memory or on their spouse to keep things straight (not that I know anybody like that). I usually take a combination of the first two approaches: I always program

appointments into my phone when I make them, and then on Sundays I write out the week’s schedule in a notebook. There are sections for work meetings and interviews, my kids’ school hours, doctors’ appointments and the like, my planned workouts for the week, and when to defrost the chicken for a meal I plan to cook. When the pandemic quickly and drastically canceled just about everything on the calendar, I had no use for my Sunday schedules. Suddenly there were no school hours for the kids, no “non-essential” appointments, and cooking dinner was a free-for-all of zany recipes we felt like trying. Work meetings often took place over 10 p.m. phone calls. And we had zilch on our weekend social schedule for months and months on end. The calendar was just a big empty space, full of unknowns. It was emblematic of pandemic life overall.

Little by little, the kids returned to preschool and work schedules normalized (relatively speaking—after all, this is journalism!). We scheduled a few outdoor get-togethers with friends. And I found the need to keep a modest calendar again, though it still had plenty of empty weekend space. Now, with Maryland vaccination efforts speeding through Phase 2 and soon, on to Phase 3, restrictions have eased and plenty of new events are being announced. After such a long wait, it’s exciting and inspiring to hear of local happenings. A new restaurant with a front-row view of City Dock! A new cultural mural! A first-time festival celebrating Juneteenth, that pivotal moment in Black history. Even the theater world, which grasped for ways to be heard over the past year, is mounting a significant campaign for growth. And it’s all covered in this week’s issue of CBM

Bay Weekly, along with about three dozen other events happening just this week alone (See Bay Planner, page 14). And this is where I’m having some trouble with the calendar. I’ve forgotten to check my schedule carefully before committing to an event. I’ve forgotten how to pick, choose and prioritize invitations. I’m mixing up my weeks, and at times wondering, What month are we in, anyway? Yes, I’ll need to relearn how to plan a schedule, and remember to refer back to it. That’s a small price to pay, though, for the pleasure of having things to look forward to. Chesapeake Country is busy planning fresh, new happenings. Don’t forget to put them on your calendar. p —MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM EDITORIAL DIRECTOR

10, 2021. This year will be a split season, closing Maryland waters to all striper fishing July 16–31. No private anglers or charchesapeakebaymagazine.com/baybulletin ter boat guests and crews may target striped bass, even catch-and-release, during those two weeks. DNR designed this seasonal closure to avoid the period when water quality and high temperatures are most stressful and harmful to striped bass in the upper Bay, according to DNR’s own data. Virginia and D.C. also have seasonal closures: Virginia closes its striped bass season for the lower Chesapeake from June 15 to Oct. 4, while the Potomac River is closed to all targeting of striped bass fishing from July 7 through Aug. 20.

Recreational fishing for other species is still allowed during the closure period. Anglers can target other species, like white perch, blue catfish, Spanish mackerel, speckled trout, red drum, and cobia. These regulations comply with Maryland’s striped bass fishery management plan under the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC). They are designed to reduce the harvest after fishery managers found in 2018 that Atlantic striped bass throughout their range are overfished (i.e., the stock has declined to a point that requires action) and that overfishing is occurring (i.e., we are killing too many of them, including some that die after being released). Seventy percent of all Atlantic striped bass are born here in the Chesapeake, making the Bay crucial to restoring their numbers. The summer closure period may be a hardship for those who take fishing vacations during those two weeks, as it will be also for charter boat captains, their crews, and local tackle shops. However, reducing pressure on the fish will help Maryland contribute to the conservation efforts being made by the other Atlantic states to allow the coastal striped bass stock to rebound. For more information on ASMFC’s management of striped bass throughout its range from North Carolina to Maine, visit https://www.asmfc.org/species/ atlantic-striped-bass.

EAST COAST’S 1ST MERMAID MUSEUM OPENS IN BERLIN BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

CAPITAL TEAS

Put Spring in your step with Tea ! www.CapitalTeas.com 6 • BAY WEEKLY • April 1 - April 8, 2021

erlin, Md. was once named America’s Coolest Small Town in a national contest, and now there’s a new cool thing to see: the East Coast’s first Mermaid Museum just opened on the town’s main street. In a soft opening held over the weekend, visitors went in not knowing quite what to expect, but later described the place as “really magical.” Among the curiosities inside, you’ll find an authentic Fiji Mermaid, that mythical half monkey-half fish said to have been caught off the coast of Fiji and shown off by PT Barnum sideshows. There’s art and cultural artifacts, and even an uncanny mermaid-shaped Cheeto. “I was just called to do a space where people could be in an enchanting environment and learn a bit about why the mermaid is such an enduring myth throughout all of Earth’s cultures,” owner Alyssa Maloof tells Bay Bulletin. The Mermaid Museum is located in the historic Odd Fellows building in

Berlin, relatively close to the sea at just 20 minutes west of Ocean City. Owner Alyssa Maloof is an artist, and saw inspiration in the town’s early 20th-century architecture. “I tried to have the content of the museum match the historical time period of the building and the town’s structures,” explains Maloof. “It was the missing puzzle piece to what Berlin was missing,” said visitor Michelle Burke. The Mermaid Museum doesn’t take itself too seriously: there is a sign at the entrance that warns of “Nudity and fish nudity. Early mermaids didn’t wear suits.” Maloof says in addition to the main attractions, there are other hidden gems tucked into the museum that you might not find on the first visit. “But if you look closely you will find peeks into other worlds,” she tells us. The Mermaid Museum is at 4 Jefferson Street, next door to Berlin’s Atlantic Hotel. It will operate this spring with weekend hours, then expand to 12–6 p.m. seven days a week from June to October. Entry is $11. To learn more, visit berlinmermaidmuseum.com.

Vaccine Scams on the Rise BY KATHY KNOTTS

s vaccines for COVID roll out across the region, so do the number of scammers capitalizing on the chance to get your personal information. Earlier this month, the Maryland U.S. Attorney’s Office shut down the fourth domain name claiming to be the website of a company producing a treatment for COVID-19. Law enforcement and medical providers are also hearing numerous reports of people receiving unsolicited emails or text messages asking them to complete a “limited-time survey” about COVID vaccines. In some cases, people are offered a free gift or reward to complete the survey in a timely manner, but are asked to pay for shipping fees. No legitimate surveys ask for your credit card or banking information. Officials want you to remember that the vaccines are free and you never have to put down a “refundable de-

posit.” You do not need to give financial information or your social security number to get a vaccine or to answer a survey. You cannot buy a vaccine, pay a fee to move up the waiting list or have a vaccine shipped to your home. If you receive an unsolicited message asking for any of your financial details: • Don’t click on any links or open any attachments • Don’t call or use the telephone number displayed in the email or message • Don’t give any personal information, including your credit card or bank account numbers If you receive one of these emails or text messages, report it at: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/?pid=B or https:// oig.hhs.gov/fraud/report-fraud/. If you believe you are a victim of a fraud or attempted fraud involving COVID-19, you may also call the National Center for Disaster Fraud Hotline at 1-866720-5721 or for more information visit: justice.gov/coronavirus.

Calvert Theaters Team Up to Create Arts Center BY JIM REITER

wo amateur theater groups are working together to create a permanent home for local theater in Calvert County. Twin Beach Players and New Direction Community Theater have created the Calvert Performing Arts Alliance in an effort to turn Prince Frederick’s National Guard Armory building into an arts center. Currently occupied by Prince Frederick fire and rescue personnel while they await completion of a new firehouse, the armory will be the subject of a Request for Proposals expected to be released soon by Calvert County. Twin Beach Players was created in 1998 and currently performs in the North Beach Boys and Girls Club facility; New Direction Community Theater, coming on the scene in 2010, utilizes the St. Leonard Community Center, with rehearsals held in various locations. Their alliance has so far secured 800 signatures on a petition to make the arts center a reality. They are seeking additional support from local organizations interested in utilizing the building, businesses to support the effort, and others who can help “rally the Commissioners and other county officials on our behalf,” according to a letter from the Alliance to “supporters of the arts in Calvert County.” The letter states that a performing arts center

Photo: change.org. “is financially viable through a combination of live theater and by providing classrooms, rehearsal space, and storage facilities for other groups.” The center would initially service the two theater groups, but gradually expand availability to other arts organizations. Final plans will be made after the groups see the county’s Request for Proposals and can get access to the armory building to gauge what repairs and renovations would be needed to turn it into an arts center. “We are open to alliances and hope that other organizations in the county, both public and private, will be able to use the new spaces,” says Twin Beach Players President Audra Vernier. “We’re looking forward to bringing live theater to a permanent home in central Calvert.” Donations accepted at: https://bit.ly/CalvertPerfomingArtsCenterYES.

Additions proposed to state heritage tourism areas BY BRENDA WINTRODE

he stewards of three of Maryland’s certified heritage areas are calling on the state to expand their boundaries including one that spans much of Anne Arundel County’s waterfront. Heritage areas get opportunities for grants, attract history buffs and help boost the state’s tourism economy. The director of the Four Rivers Heritage Area is presenting a proposal to a state board this week justifying why certain historical assets should be added to the state’s cultural treasure chest. The 13 certified heritage areas included in the Maryland Heritage Areas Program boasted a $2.4 billion economic impact in 2019 and brought in $319.8 million in state and local taxes, accord-

ing to a statewide impact study. Heritage area tourists “tend to be overnight visitors; they tend to spend more; they tend to stay longer,” said the program’s administrator Jen Ruffner, which means more dollars going directly back into the Maryland economy. But before new properties are brought into the revenue-generating fold, the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority (MHAA), the appointed body that oversees the program, must hear public response to the proposals. The state-run board will also consider the potential tourism value of the proposed additions because “if everything’s a heritage

8 • BAY WEEKLY • April 1 - April 8, 2021

area, then nothing’s a heritage area,” Ruffner said. A public hearing was scheduled for this week to discuss the expansion of the Four Rivers Heritage area that follows the banks of the Chesapeake Bay in Anne Arundel County, and written testimony will be accepted until next Wednesday, April 7. The 20-year-old heritage area, which includes Annapolis, London Town and South County Heritage Area, is proposing its first-ever boundary amendment that will increase existing boundaries, add two rail trails and the BWI Hiker-Biker Trail; the Mid-County Cluster;

and the Jug Bay Cluster. Proposed boundary amendments must show a historical connection related to the heritage area’s theme. The North County African American Trail winds through Black communities established before the Civil War. The histories of the seven stops in Freetown, Dorsey, Queenstown, Marley Neck, Pumphrey and Furnace Branch were first documented for a bus tour created by the Northern Arundel Cultural Preservation Society. Two other heritage areas in Maryland, the Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area in Frederick, Washington, and Carroll counties and the Beach to Bay Heritage Area on the lower Eastern Shore, are also proposing expansions. Hagerstown Aviation Museum and Mt. Zion Memorial Church, a circa 1887 historic Black church in Princess Anne, are both on the table for inclusion. In fiscal year 2020, the MHAA funded 184 grants totaling over $6.1 million. One-third of the grants were emergency funds awarded to nonprofit heritage tourism organizations to cover operating expenses during the COVID-19 crisis. Ruffner said grant-funded projects must add to a visitor’s experience, for example, by creating interpretive signage for an exhibit or renovating a walking trail. “Enhancing tourism products that will bring people to Maryland to spend money and support the economy” is the fund’s goal, she said, which will total around $5.1 million this year after budget approval. Funding must be matched dollar for dollar by an entity other than the state. Capital projects, like renovations, are funded up to $100,000 and non-capital projects, such as research or programs, up to $50,000. The MHAA is an independent unit of state government that falls under the Department of Planning and is staffed by the Maryland Historical Trust. The MHAA board will not cast their final vote on the proposals until their quarterly public meeting on April 8. Public comment can be submitted until April 7 in writing to jen.ruffner@maryland.gov or via U.S. mail.

Since that moment my team and this community have been working tirelessly to make it a reality” —PHYLLIS “TEE” ADAMS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND VISIONARY OF THE ANNAPOLIS JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION ORGANIZATION communities are inextricable, and Juneteenth is a holiday that connects the two together by honoring our ancestors’ resilience and strength through a communal celebration.” Organizers say the festival will be in compliance with Maryland COVID-19 guidelines, with an option for online streaming.

Annapolis to Host First Juneteenth Festival BY KRISTA PFUNDER

he City of Annapolis will hold a festival to commemorate Juneteenth, the oldest known celebration of the end of slavery in the U.S., June 18–19. Annapolis was a central location in the history of slavery, as a prime port for the slave trade. The city announced this week that it will acknowledge the turning point in that history with an evening reception, followed by a parade and festival. The event will begin at the Maryland Cultural and Conference Center (MC3) in Annapolis with a VIP reception at 6pm, Friday, June 18, featuring live entertainment, catered food, awards and African-American art. Saturday, June 19, a parade will start at Annapolis City Dock at noon, if COVID19 restrictions allow. The celebration will then move to the Bates Athletic Complex, where a festival will continue from 2pm until dusk. Live musical performances include The Chuck Brown Band, Young Dylan from Tyler Perry’s Nickelodeon show, and others. Local vendors, food and art will be on site. “The vision for a Juneteenth festival here in Annapolis, came to me in a dream,” says Phyllis “Tee” Adams, executive director and visionary of the

Annapolis Juneteenth Celebration organization. “Since that moment my team and this community have been working tirelessly to make it a reality.” The Annapolis Juneteenth Celebration was unanimously approved by the City of Annapolis in Resolution 51-20, which was proposed by Mayor Gavin Buckley and Alderwoman Sheila Finlayson. The Maryland House has since passed a bill to make Juneteenth a paid state holiday. Last year, as CBM Bay Weekly reported, Juneteenth was marked in downtown Annapolis with a march for

racial justice and equality in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley, Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman, and Anne Arundel County Police Chief Tim Altomare marched along with the community. It was the first time the county formally recognized Juneteenth. This year’s event builds upon that march. “I am stoked for this Juneteenth event because it is something that the Annapolis community truly needs,” says Harold “Mo” Lloyd, Anne Arundel County NAACP Youth and College Division President. “Black history and Black

BRINGING THE BEACH TO DOWNTOWN Mural to Preserve Legacy of Carr’s Beach BY STEVE ADAMS

MAGINE A GIANT BEACH PARTY on the shores of Annapolis, where music legends perform live for maximum-capacity crowds—a party so popular, some 60,000 people have to be turned away at the gate. That was the reality at Carr’s Beach in 1956 when Chuck Berry came to town.

If you’ve ever visited the Annapolis Neck Peninsula, looking out at the Bay Bridge to the north and Thomas Point Lighthouse to the south, there’s a good chance you’ve even driven past the Carr’s Beach site. What is currently the gated condo community of Chesapeake Harbor once was a popular beach destination for African-Americans, playing host to virtually all of the country’s most famous Black musicians. But as time passes and first-person memories of experiences at the beach and concert venue are lost with each passing year, the Maryland Cultural and Conference Center (MC3) is working to celebrate and preserve its remarkable history and legacy. MC3, formerly known as MTPA, is joining forces with muralist and Annapolis native Comacell Brown, aka Cell Spitfire, to memorialize Carr’s

Beach with a giant piece of art. The installation is being called One Annapolis: A Community Art Project and features a vibrant, 150-foot-long mural that Brown will begin painting on the blank wall next to MC3’s outdoor venue StageOne at Park Place next week. “My reaction was pure excitement and thankfulness [when MC3 reached out] because I wasn’t born early enough to experience Carr’s Beach in person but I’ve heard many stories from my grandparents about it,” said Brown. “As an artist and resident in Annapolis I feel honored to be able to partner with MC3 and highlight such a rare time in Black history from my perspective. It’s been a great learning experience for me to research the history of Carr’s Beach, and now being able to tell that story in Downtown Annapolis is icing on the cake.”

With research and the help of the Maryland State Archives, Brown chose six black and white images for the mural that he describes as “lights, camera, action”—images that will not only reflect the energy of the site, but, organizers hope, also compel the public to learn more about how culturally and historically significant it was during its nearly 50-year existence. Those walking or driving by the mural will learn that Carr’s Beach was, first and foremost, a place where Black people could freely gather from 1926-1974. The mural conveys how recreational areas where African-Americans could go were limited during the Jim Crow-era, when most beaches were whites-only. Founded in 1926 by Frederick Carr, a former slave who purchased 180 acres of waterfront farmland on the Annapolis Neck in 1902 and his wife, Mary Wells Carr, Carr’s Beach began as a simple beach retreat where Black families could swim, boat, fish, and socialize. It was operated by the Carrs’ daughter, Elizabeth Carr Smith, until her death in 1948. At that time her son, Frederick, partnered with William

“Lil’ Willie” Adams, a prominent Black businessman from Baltimore, to form the Carr’s Beach Amusement Company and greatly expand its offerings. This included installing a midway line with rides and slot machines (which had quite fortuitously just become legal in Anne Arundel County) and opening a night club, Club Bengazi, that would be able to host Black performers. While the pictures in the mural clearly show that Carr’s was a place for music and dancing, it’s almost unfathomable to believe just how many bigname musicians, and tens of thousands of their fans, were drawn to the site. Often the last stop on the Chitlin’ Circuit, a route of performance venues named for a soul food dish and traveled by Black performers, Carr’s hosted this astonishing list of performers, according to local historian Janice Hayes Williams: Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Billy Eckstine, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, James Brown, Etta James, Jackie Wilson, Dinah Washington, Otis Redding, Lionel Hampton, Ike CONTINUED O

and Tina Turner, Lloyd Price, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, The Supremes, James Berry, The Shirelles, The Drifters, The Coasters, and Chuck Berry. Concerts not only attracted busloads of attendees from far up and down the East Coast, but also, according to photos shared on the Remembering Carr’s and Sparrow Beaches website, a number of Black celebrities including boxer Joe Louis. The crowds were so large, in fact, that Williams’ uncle, George Phelps Jr., founded the Special Deputy Sheriffs and hired 225 Black men to keep law and serve as crowd control during the venue’s busiest times. In addition to seeing beachgoers and musicians in the mural, people will also see Hoppy Adams depicted. C. W. “Hoppy” Adams Jr. was a huge part of not just Carr’s Beach but Black broadcasting as a whole. Born Charles W. Adams Jr. in 1926 in Parole, Hoppy, who was given his nickname due to a bum leg, ran a cab company before being hired as a disc jockey in 1951 for WANN, a local radio

station. Founded by Morris Blum and only the second radio station in Annapolis, the station played the gospel, soul, and rhythm and blues music that appealed to a then-underserved African-American audience. This, combined with the hiring of the star DJ just as Carr’s began drawing bigger and bigger names, led WANN to begin broadcasting live performances and dance competitions hosted by Hoppy from the beach every Sunday afternoon. With 50,000 watts of power and Hoppy’s charisma, the station claimed to serve “the largest Negro market in America outside of New York,” according to a flier donated to the Smithsonian, and brought the sounds of Carr’s Beach to “more than 600,000 Negroes spending more than $250,000,000 a year.” It became a more popular place

to perform and visit than ever before. MC3’s Director of Programming Jemma Lehner thinks now is the ideal time to celebrate the significance of Carr’s Beach. “During a time of racial segregation, the beach served as a space for Blacks to gather, perform and entertain free from racial prejudice,” she said. “Today, it’s rarely recognized for what it was: a defining moment in Annapolis’s history. So, as the racial outcries of 2020 have led many organizations to rethink their strategy for combating inequality, MC3 decided to start with the often-glossed over history of Black performing arts in Annapolis.” The Park Place venue hopes to have widespread appeal, as Carr’s Beach did, “because MC3 is dedicated to providing equitable access to innovative and dynamic arts programming

now and in the future,” says Lehner. “When the new cultural and conferencing center is built, it will be the first entertainment venue in Annapolis since Carr’s Beach that will be able to present world-renowned artists and fill over a thousand seats. This year, MC3 has a full season of programming prepared at StageOne where all audience members will sit adjacent to the new mural and remember the importance of inclusivity and equity in the arts.” Access is also on the mind of Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley, who announced in February that the site of Carr’s Beach is on his list of upcoming projects. “We have a plan to provide [public] access, and we are working toward a plan that will bring added amenities,” his newsletter proclaimed. Details have yet to be released. At Park Place there will be a celebration of the mural featuring Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) performers and a new dance choreographed by MC3’s resident dance company, The Company at MC3, to the music of artists that performed at Carr’s Beach; a date is forthcoming. MC3 aims to not only memorialize Carr’s Beach through the mural, but also rekindle the excitement for the arts and sense of community that it fostered. Future events will be centered at the site of the mural including the recently announced Juneteenth celebration (details on page 9). “Two of MC3’s core values are, Where Business Meets the Arts and Creating a Sense of Place, which is exactly what Carr’s Beach brought to the city of Annapolis so many years ago,” says Lehner. “The beach served as an economic engine for the city by attracting thousands of tourists and by creating hundreds of jobs, and it also built a sense of community. MC3 hopes to provide those same types of benefits to Annapolis. Our ultimate goal is to create an iconic gathering place for the community in the middle of the Annapolis Arts and Entertainment District and, by doing so, help invigorate the overall arts culture of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County.” p

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Tread Carefully in Timber Territory

atoctin State Park is a rocky wooded park near Thurmont, Md. This beautiful and popular park has many hiking trails with rock outcrops, overlooks and waterfalls. It is also home to a large population of timber rattlesnakes. Luckily, they are fairly calm

and rarely seen. Timber rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) are one of the two poisonous snake species found in Maryland, the other being the copperhead. Both snakes are pit vipers, with heat-sensing organs called pits near their nostrils. Both

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

STORY AND PHOTO BY MARIA PRICE

The Year-Round Beauty of Camellias

his has been a great year for camellias. There are few ornamentals that have the potential for so much aesthetic pleasure throughout the calendar year as camellias. The beauty and elegance of its many flower forms and the dark lustrous evergreen foliage is matched by few other shrubs. They bloom during the bleak days of autumn, winter and early spring, when many other plants are dormant. Depending on the varieties, you can have blooms from late September to early May. This wasn’t always so. Only after the 1980s when the People’s Republic of China was opened to plant exports was there a flood of new species released to the Western world. Breeding and hybridizing took place at the USDA’s U.S. Plant Introduction Station in Glenn Dale, Md., by Dr. William Ackerman. Prior to this time, camellias thrived in the South in the “Camellia Belt” (the area along the East Coast from central Virginia south to Florida and west into California). The northern gardener should be more careful in choosing varieties that are hardy to zones six and seven. Even though we have many new and hardier varieties than in the past, freezing temperatures can turn half-opened blooms brown and the whole display can be lost. Camellias planted at the

U.S. National Arboretum experienced extremely cold winters in the 1970s and early 1980s and extremely old plants were killed, adding to the belief that camellias were hard to grow. Today there are many new cultivars hardy to our area. The new Camellia oleifera hybrids have their parentage in a selection process that extended for nearly 5,000 years in China, for their adaptation to adverse climatic conditions. Camellias are grown for their beautiful flowers and as an evergreen landscape plant. In Asia, camellias are grown for their utilitarian value. Camellia sinensis has been grown in China as a beverage crop (tea) since around 2700 B.C. C. oleifera, grown as a source of seed oil used in cooking, hairdressing and cosmetics, has been cultivated for at least as long. Camellia japonica cultivars bloom in the spring and C. sasanqua cultivars bloom in the late fall. Here in Maryland, spring planting is preferred. The best location is a north or northwestern exposure which protection from the prevailing winds. Camellias prefer a well-drained, slightly acid soil (pH 5.5-7). A slow-release fertilizer such as Osmocote (6-18-16) applied in March or early April is sufficient. I recommend the April series of hardy cultivars for the mid-Atlantic. p

snakes have vertical pupils which differ from all of Maryland’s non-poisonous snakes, which have circular pupils. The timber rattlesnake is a large snake, commonly found in the 4-foot range with the largest specimen reaching 72 inches. Surprisingly, males are larger than females. Timbers have a banded or blotchy brown pattern, keeled scales, a triangular head and rattles on their tails. The rattles are made of keratin that forms with each shedding in a loosely interlocking hollow structure. Losing the tip of the rattle is painless for the snake and large snakes rarely have a complete rattle. They grow slowly and have a very long lifespan of 30 or more years. In the fall, timber rattlesnakes travel underground to locate dens. Some dens will hold 20 or more snakes. In the spring, they separate and head back to their hunting grounds. Their hunting range can be over a mile as they look for mice and ground squirrels. In the late spring, males will follow the female’s scent trail for mating.

After mating, up to 20 young will be born from eggs that developed within the female. The young are born with venom and fangs. Unlike the nervous and angry copperhead, timber rattlesnakes are known to be calm and fairly passive. They will bite when bothered, startled or stepped on. Their toxin is both a hemotoxin and neurotoxin. It causes intense blood clotting and nerve injury which causes pain and can paralyze muscles. Antitoxin is available and rapid transportation for treatment is needed. The snakes can control how much toxin they inject and, if you are lucky, sometimes don’t inject any toxin at all, sometimes called a dry bite. Timber rattlesnakes are found all along the Eastern U.S. from northern Florida to Canada and west to Texas and Nebraska. In Maryland, they are found in hilly and rock areas and are present but uncommon in Anne Arundel County. However, they are losing habitat and their numbers have been declining. Timber rattlesnakes are protected as a threatened or vulnerable species in state and national parks. Always watch where you are stepping and if you see a snake, give it plenty of space. p

Long-term climate warming plus recent springtime heat waves have brought a cornucopia of new gamefish into FISHFINDER high presence along the Chesapeake. tarpon have been seen rolling under the Bay Bridge while trollers practicing for the opening day of Rockfish Trophy Season have had their reels spooled by 50-pound-plus yellowfin and bigeye tuna as well as large jack crevalle. muskrats are again breaking in the mouth of the Choptank in large numbers and taking rigged topwater twigs, while pompano and mutton snapper have been delighting surf-rod anglers at Sandy Point and Matapeake Parks fishing bloodworms on the bottom. It’s a crazy world out there and you’d better hurry or you’ll miss out—and Happy April Fool’s Day!

SPORTING LIFE

BY DENNIS DOYLE

Release the Hounds T his year’s rabbit season ended a month ago, and already my friend Charles Rodney has been hard at work reworking his six-dog beagle pack. A pack has long been the most efficient method of producing rabbits, more than a single dog or even a brace (two dogs). A pack is anywhere from four to 10 dogs, chosen for individual traits and conformity of overall performance. Beagles are anywhere from 13- to 15-inches high at the shoulder, an important characteristic for those who maintain them. The dog’s height is a prime indicator of its speed. In a pack, a similar speed is essential if the dogs are to operate as a cohesive unit and a beagle pack is indeed a close cooperating group. The saying cover the whole pack with one blanket is often heard as a compliment of excellence in performance. Constant exposure to game and attention to each dog’s needs is paramount in maintaining a pack’s peak performance. A houndsman’s work is never done, it’s a yearround job. Each dog in a pack has a specific role. Hank, a 10-year-old, tricolor (brown, black & white), is the leader and Sam his second-in-command, and also a tri at 5 years. They have the best noses and are also the wisest and most adept trackers. When either of

thickets, brush piles and downed trees. They will bay on old (cold) scent occasionally but are essential to the team in flushing rabbits out of difficult terrain into the open field for chase. The pack, all 13-inch dogs, are usually following the rabbit’s scent anywhere from 50 feet to 100 yards behind the galloping bunnies who are skilled at fooling the dogs thanks to their constant experiences with other predators. The last two pups are Sammy and Shorty, both tricolors, the new kids, and one of the main reasons for beginning dog training so early after the past season. Sammy at 18 months has already been a contributing member of the pack, eager and comfortable in maintaining contact with the other dogs and lending his nose, voice and energy to the collective effort. Shorty, the youngest member at 6 months, is already surprisingly successful in catching on to the game. And when a rabbit is actually sighted by the pack the merging of their suddenly excited, collective voices rivals any musical crescendo for those following.

bit as enjoyable as participating in an actual hunt itself. Now that we’re a far more urban population, beagles have become gradually relegated to more individual roles. Though still ranked high in popularity (sixth) as a pet because of its friendliness and charming character, the breed has recently also become noticed by our Border Patrol, Customs and Airport Security. Its diminutive presence is far less threatening than that of the German shepherd, Belgian Malinois or even the Labrador retriever. Illegal plants, prohibited food items and other controlled substances are pointed out to the authorities by the breed’s outstanding nose. The classical sporting practices of the beagle pack, however, while definitely fading in urban areas due to the effort involved, continue to be enthusiastically honored by sporting stalwarts in our country’s more rural south. There are also, thankfully, a few sports-people in Maryland who remain thrilled and captivated by the musical sound of a chorus of baying hounds working out a complex scent trail through forest and field. I certainly am one of them. p

THE MOVIEGOER

BY DIANA BEECHENER

The Father

A heartbreaking film about mental decline AVAIL ABLE ON-DEMAND

omething is wrong in Anthony’s flat. After living there 30 years, Anthony (Anthony Hopkins: The Two Popes) can’t seem to figure out what’s happening. Things are changing, objects moving without explanation, and his watch, he fears, has been stolen. His daughter Anne (Olivia Colman: The Crown) isn’t any help. She keeps running in and out of rooms, stopping and starting the same conversations over and over again. Sometimes, he swears she’s a completely different person. Suddenly, the flat changes and Anne insists it’s not his flat at all, but hers. It’s obviously a conspiracy, and Anthony starts to wonder whether or not he can trust those around him. Why would they try to fool him? Why do they all insist on lying to him? An emotionally devastating film, The Father is a look at how dementia deteriorates the mind from the perspective of the patient. Co-writer/director Florian Zeller (in his feature debut) based the film on his 2012 play of the same name. He brilliantly captures all the subtle and overt ways reality shifts and bends for someone who is suffering from mental decline. It’s his goal to give us the perspective of someone with this affliction, showing us how reality bends and snaps in frightening ways. Zeller cleverly uses a subtle trick of keeping the basic structures of the apartments similar so the audience doesn’t immediately realize when the environment changes. It serves to disorient the audience in the same way it does Anthony, letting us see how unsettling it is to suddenly question your environment. Zeller also lets reality bleed together in fascinating ways. Multiple actors play the same role, helping us feel Anthony’s confusion. Sometimes the actors are kind, sometimes cruel; reality is presented in a tangle of scenes that the audience must try to make sense of—just as Anthony must. At the center of the film is a career-best performance from Hopkins. His Anthony is

Sometimes, he’s a whip-smart man who’s furious at what he deems to be a condescending attitude from his daughter. Other times,

he’s the victim of a vast conspiracy that he doesn’t quite understand. Things he wants to say seem to fall out of his head mid-sentence. He repeats the same joke over and over again, not understanding why no one laughs at it. He is wholly dependent upon his daughter yet resents what he views as her constant interference. Watching Hopkins rapidly cycle through confusion, anger, charm, and fear, is astounding. It’s a wonderful reminder of why the 83-year-old actor remains at the top of his game. He never makes Anthony the subject of pity or mockery; it’s a deeply human performance. Colman also makes the most of her time playing Anne. She does a beautiful job of conveying the agony one experiences watching a parent decline. She must suffer Anthony’s tantrums and petty barbs because no one else seemingly can help and the world would see her putting him in an insti-

tution as abandonment. It’s a quiet, beautiful performance filled with love and suffering. Though the film is a haunting, compassionate attempt to reconstruct the confusing, frightening world of a person experiencing a form of dementia, this may not be a movie for everyone. As a person who acted as caregiver for her father, this movie was an incredibly difficult watch, its realism bringing up a lot of the more painful aspects of offering care to a parent. Viewers that have had similar experiences might have a visceral reaction to this movie. Even without a close connection to the subject matter, you may want to make sure you have tissues handy. A no-holds-barred look at the tragedy of dementia, The Father is not an easy watch. It is, however, an extremely human and moving film, filled with brilliant performances. It’s a wonderful choice for those interested in a challenging, powerful film. Excellent Drama * PG-13 * 97 mins.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION Parent of the Year Jose Manuel Navarrete, 25, is being held on $100,000 bond on suspicion of child endangerment in the San Diego Central jail after he carried his 2-yearold daughter into the elephant habitat at the San Diego Zoo on March 19, the Associated Press reported. Navarrete allegedly wanted to take a picture with the African bull elephant, police said, and evaded multiple barriers to enter the enclosure. Witness video shows one of the elephants charging the two trespassers and Navarrete briefly dropping the toddler before picking her up and getting her to safety. “He runs, throws his baby through the gate and it’s seconds from hitting him,” said witness Jake Ortale. “People were just mad at this guy.”

The Continuing Crisis • Larry Lee Harris, 66, of Willcox, Arizona, was arrested after chasing a caravan of three National Guard vans carrying COVID-19 vaccines out of a truck stop in Lubbock, Texas, on March 22 and trying repeatedly to run the vans off the road, police said. WAFB-TV reported Harris finally turned his vehicle into oncoming traffic and stopped the vans, then allegedly pointed a gun at a guardsman, identified himself as a detective and insisted on searching the vehicles. He told Idalou police, who found a .45-caliber pistol and loaded magazines in his possession, that he was looking for a kidnapped woman and child. “Mr. Harris appeared to be mentally disturbed,” Idalou Police Chief Eric Williams said. All 11 unarmed uniformed guardsmen escaped unharmed. • On March 17, police at the Charleston, South Carolina, airport rushed to meet United Airlines Flight 728 in response to a report that someone’s ear had been bitten off on the plane, which had been diverted there from its flight from Newark, New Jersey, to Miami, The State reported. Passenger John Yurkovich Jr., 45, of New Jersey, had become “agitated” and “restless” after making a trip to the restroom, police said, then “began to scream and thrash around,” punching his seatmate and apparently biting the man’s ear, which later required seven stitches, an FBI report said. A doctor on board injected Benadryl into Yurkovich’s buttocks to help subdue him, and others bound him with zip ties and a belt. Authorities said they found 1.5 grams of suspected meth in Yurkovich’s pocket; he was arrested and faces state charges of possession as well as federal charges of assault.

Entrepreneurial Spirit Good Fortune Burger in Toronto has renamed some if its menu items as

office supplies as a not-so-underhanded way to help customers get reimbursed for lunch, the National Post reported, and perhaps boost sales. The restaurant’s Fortune Burger is now the Basic Steel Stapler, and Parm Fries will appear on a receipt as CPU Wireless Mouse. Director of operations Jon Purdy said the restaurant “just wanted an opportunity to put a smile on some people’s faces and have them have a little bit of a giggle.”

Wait, What? As Jensen Karp, 41, of Los Angeles, was pouring a second bowl of his favorite breakfast cereal, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, on March 22, “something plopped out of the box. I picked it up, and I was like, ‘This is clearly a shrimp tail,’” he told The New York Times. Karp looked into the box and saw another tail, both encrusted in sugar. Karp took a picture, sent it to his wife, then contacted General Mills. Then a friend suggested he take another look into the bag, where he reported finding “shrimp skins-looking things, a small string, something that resembled a pistachio, and finally, “small black pieces” at the bottom that he fears are rat feces. Karp is having the samples tested at a lab. “I’m a comedy writer, but like, there’s no joke here,” he said. “I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch.” General Mills says it’s looking into the matter, but “we can say with confidence that this did not occur at our facility.”

Inexplicable A motorist in Delray Beach, Florida, stopped to investigate the screaming she heard on March 23 and found a naked woman trapped in a storm drain 8 feet below street level. The Washington Post reported first responders pulled the unnamed 43-year-old woman to safety and took her to a hospital as investigators discovered she had been reported missing by her boyfriend three weeks earlier, Palm Beach County sheriff ’s officials said. The woman told officers she had been swimming in a canal when she noticed a door leading to a tunnel, which she entered, and then became lost, wandering for weeks in the tunnel system and surviving on a bottle of ginger ale she found. Ted White, a spokesman for the Delray police, was skeptical: “Was she actually down there the whole time?” Health officials think she might have been in the tunnels just a few days, he said.

is now demanding the flag be taken down because it creates too much noise flapping in the wind. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” Almer told reported KVLY-TV. “It’s not rude, it’s not nasty, it’s the American flag. ... It’s not coming down anytime soon.” • Phedeline St. Felix told police in Pompano Beach, Florida, she had gone to a city park in mid-March to settle an argument with another woman when she allegedly drove her car over a gate and into a playground, accidentally hitting Chaunda McCleod and her 3-year-old grandson instead, injuring them both. “I was attempting to run (the other woman) over,” St. Felix said, according to WPLG-TV. McCleod said she saw a fight brewing in the park and “started to get all the kids together to get them out of the park. ... As I’m picking (my grandson) up, she’s just hitting us both and we just went flying over the car and finally we hit the ground.” St. Felix was arrested and ordered not to have any contact with the victims.

Seems Like a Lot of Trouble Authorities in Houston charged former Bank of America employee Juan Esteban Ramirez on March 24 with a second felony in connection with tricking young female customers into unlocking their phones so he could steal nude photos of them. In both cases, Ramirez allegedly took the phones to show the women how to look up information on their bank accounts, but with the phones unlocked, he found and sent himself intimate photos. In the second case, Ramirez also texted the woman, who felt threatened, Harris County Assistant District Attorney Keaton Forcht told KPRC-TV. “It’s highly unlikely that these are the only two victims,” he said.

#2 WEST FRIENDSHIP ROAD

Friendship, MD 20758

Devil in the Details An unnamed teenager in Thailand was excited by the surprisingly low price he found online for an Apple iPhone, and even though the shipping seemed a little high, he went ahead and ordered it, Oddity Central reported. The surprise came when he received a box nearly as tall as he was and found inside a coffee table shaped like an iPhone. The teen posted photos of his acquisition on social media and admitted he had been so anxious to snag the bargain that he didn’t read the listing carefully.

KRISS KROSS

TRIVIA

Getting Around

Well, bluejeans are usually blue, so where does the ‘jean’ part fit in? It’s actually an altered form of “Genoa,” where the cloth was once woven. Denim comes from the phrase ‘serge (fabric) de Nimes’ after the city of Nimes, France. Levis get their name from Levi Strauss, a San Francisco clothing merchant from Gold Rush days, and Dungarees get their name from W. H. O’Cares. Scoring: 31 - 40 = Aloft; 26 - 30 = Ahead; 21 - 25 = Aweigh; 16 - 20 = Amidships; 11 - 15 = Aboard; 05 - 10 = Adrift; 01 - 05 = Aground
