Love Your Home & Garden

W

hen The Wizard of Oz’s Dorothy clicked her sparkly, red heels together and wished, “There’s no place like home!” she had not spent an entire year confined to her house avoiding a deadly pandemic.

As our state ordered that we stay away from public places in 2020, most of us had never been forced to stay home before.

None of us quite knew how to react or how we’d adapt to the challenge, which was unprecedented in our generation. A surprising set of trends emerged: home improvements, DIY projects inside and outside, and a super-hot housing market.

In retrospect, this makes perfect sense.

When you are stuck at home, you can beautify and improve it to enjoy it more. If it feels like the walls are closing in on you, find a new home with new scenery. These trends came on full force in Chesapeake Country, and have not slowed down— even as vaccines are now available to virtually everyone, and we can see a light at the end of the stay-at-home tunnel.

Home projects, home buying, and beautifying spaces remain top of mind because the opportunities are right in front of our noses. And this issue of CBM Bay Weekly—our Home & Garden special edition—arrives right on time to give you resources and guidance.

Vance delivered papers weekly from December 2013 through June 2018 on a 100-mile route through Severna Park, Arnold, Crofton and Bowie, often with a canine co-pilot.

“It’s a long haul, but Bill was slow and steady each week,” says Alex Knoll, editor emeritus. “Filling in for him dropping off papers, people would ask, ‘Where’s Bill?’ He was missed then, and he’s missed now.”

“I owe a lifelong debt of gratitude to Bill Vance,” says Sandra Olivetti Martin, editor emeritus. “For years, he literally carried out Bay Weekly’s mission, delivering our papers faithfully, truly and cheerfully to waiting readers.

William “Bill” Vance was born on September 8, 1937 in Baltimore. He is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Kathleen “Kitty” Vance.

I just finished my last day teaching from home. I’m starting hybrid. Mellie is going to miss the children. She took an interest in virtual class right away. She would hear me (Misty) interacting with the class in our spare bedroom/virtual classroom and come down the hall and look for where the kids’ voices were coming from.

The kids enjoy her. They could hear her nails clickety-clacking down the hall to the classroom and the kids would say, “Here comes Mellie.”

Mellie is a 15-year-old mix from Calvert Animal Rescue League. We adopted her when she was two.

Mellie hears the kids and looks around for them but can’t figure out where they are, so she is content to lie down and listen to what’s going on. Once, Mellie made off with a math manipulative

called a Unifix cube and slipped and fell in the process, the students were both concerned and amused by that.

Mellie is older and has never been a very demonstrative dog but she knows when class is starting and always makes sure she arrives on time. She does get a bit animated when we play a “brain break” exercise video and the whole class is on their feet dancing around.

Now that I’m going back to school, Mellie will be invited to make virtual appearances in class via Microsoft Teams from time to time.

MAGOTHY YELLOW PERCH SPAWN WASHED OUT BY RUNOFF

BY CHERYL COSTELLO

T

he Magothy River Association, guardians of the yellow perch’s tiny strands of eggs each season, watched with horror as the Lake Waterford spring spawn was virtually wiped out with a single storm.

River advocates blame sediment runoff from an industrial site—and a lack of state support to save the eggs before it was too late. This week Bay Bulletin looks at what went wrong and the steps being taken to prevent another spawning disaster.

The Magothy River’s population of yellow perch comes up to Lake Waterford Park in Pasadena to spawn each year, birthing a new year of the fish, which are popular with anglers.

This year’s spawn looked like one of the best in years. The MRA counted 248 large egg chains—the most they’ve seen in the six years they’ve been tracking.

But it didn’t last. Sediment from a heavy rainstorm washed into Lake Waterford, killing off the embryos.

“It was the sand particles and clay particles that got stuck in the jelly membrane of the embryos. It actually prevented the embryos from developing,” explains MRA President Paul Spadaro.

Spadaro and other MRA volunteers point the finger at an industrial area up the hill, on B&A Boulevard. During heavy rain storms, sediment rolls right

down into the water. That’s what happened during a storm in mid-March, when the eggs were most vulnerable.

“That whole class [of yellow perch] didn’t get a chance,” Spadaro says sadly.

Seeing the damage unfolding as the rain fell, Spadaro turned to the state and the county. The Bureau of Watershed Protection and Restoration for Anne Arundel County’s Department of Public Works rushed to the scene, placing straw bales and other filtering socks to stop the runoff.

Deputy Director Erik Michelsen calls it a last-ditch effort. He says getting permission from the Maryland

Authorities discovered about 44 pounds of cocaine on a ship anchored near Annapolis. Handout photo.

Department of the Environment to do this work was too slow. “According to the road operations staff, it took about four hours from the point where they were ready to do it, to the point where they got permission,” Michelsen said.

Maryland Secretary of the Environment Ben Grumbles admits the system should be better. “That’s a lesson learned for us. I think every jurisdiction, whether it’s state or county, needs to be working on as smooth a procedure as possible to streamline any type of pre-approval,” Grumbles told Bay Bulletin.

His office is focused on targeting Ecology Services, a garbage collection business right up the hill from where the spawning happens, for a long-term plan. “They did not get permit coverage from us. They did not develop stormwater pollution prevention plans.

They did not put measures in place.

That adds up to penalties and specific

“It actually prevented the embryos from developing. That whole class [of yellow perch] didn’t get a chance.”

—PAUL SPADARO, MAGOTHY RIVER ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT corrective actions that we’re going to make sure they take,” Grumbles says.

Spadaro says MRA sounded the alarm about Ecology Services over a year ago. He’s concerned the yellow perch population won’t come back.

Bay Bulletin reached out to Ecology Services, but at press time the company had not responded to a request for comment.

$1 MILLION COCAINE BUST ON BULK CARRIER OFF ANNAPOLIS

BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

F

ederal agents have a lot of questions after finding 44 pounds of cocaine in the anchor locker of a bulk carrier anchored in the Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis.

A multi-agency team of investigators boarded the 958-foot, Baltimore-bound breakbulk carrier M/V Samjohn Solidarity early Wednesday morning.

The DEA, U.S. Customs and Border See COCAINE on page 5

COCAINE from page 4

Protection, Homeland Security, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources conducted the freighter inspection.

During the examination, the team found 20 bricks hidden in the vessel’s anchor locker. The bricks field-tested positive for suspected cocaine. The 20 kilograms has a street value of more than $1 million.

“This is an example of a collaborative effort that suppresses illegal drug activity and keeps our citizens safe. The Maryland Natural Resources Police will continue to work with our federal partners to provide security for our citizens both on and off the water.”

—COLONEL ADRIAN BAKER OF THE MARYLAND NATURAL RESOURCES POLICE

The Samjohn Solidarity flies under the Marshall Islands flag and was on its way to Baltimore from Rotterdam in the Netherlands, according to ship tracker marinetraffic.com.

So far, arrests have been made, and an investigation is underway.

The agencies involved in the bust say cooperation was key to its success.

“DEA has always worked closely with our federal partners, especially in Baltimore,” said Orville O. Greene, Assistant Special Agent in Charge, DEA Baltimore District Office. “This operation exemplifies how separate law enforcement entities can work together as one cohesive unit.”

State natural resources police agree.

“This is an example of a collaborative effort that suppresses illegal drug activity and keeps our citizens safe,” said Colonel Adrian Baker of the Maryland Natural Resources Police. “The success of this effort is due to the extraordinary effort among the joint partnership. The Maryland Natural Resources Police will continue to work with our federal partners to provide security for our citizens both on and off the water.”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers routinely screen “international travelers and cargo and search for illicit narcotics, unreported currency, weapons, counterfeit consumer goods, prohibited agriculture, and other illicit products that could potentially harm the American public, U.S. businesses, and our nation’s safety and economic vitality.”

Bill to Protect Student-Athletes’ Rights, Safety Passes General Assembly Measure Honors Terps Football Player Lost to Heat Stroke

BY CHERYL COSTELLO

A

Maryland father is making a difference for future college athletes, after losing his son to a medical emergency on the football field at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Marty McNair has led the charge in Annapolis for the Jordan McNair Safe and Fair Play Act, named for his son who died in 2018. Jordan McNair suffered heatstroke during an offseason workout with the Terps. “How can you have a healthy kid Tuesday morning and an emergency liver transplant Friday afternoon?” asks Marty McNair.

Now, McNair is keeping his son’s memory alive through state legislation.

“One of the things we learned early on is policy and legislation are really the way to make an impact,” he says.

Indeed, the bill has passed both the House and the Senate, and Governor Larry Hogan is expected to sign it. Del. Brooke Lierman (D-Baltimore City) sponsored the measure. “This is a bill that looks at how we are treating our student-athletes in a holistic way,” Lierman says. It “requires all athletic programs to adopt guidelines to prevent, assess and treat serious sports-related conditions including brain injury and heat illness.”

In a statement, a University of Maryland spokeswoman says, “The Uni-

6 • BAY WEEKLY • April 8 - April 15, 2021

versity of Maryland is committed to continuing to provide superior health and wellness support for our student-athletes.” The university is a partner in the Jordan McNair Foundation.

“There’s accountability on both sides.

So, if my child comes to play with you, what are you going to do to protect my child in regards to if anything happens?” asks Marty McNair. McNair says when Jordan was recruited, he didn’t ask questions about safety on the field. “My only concern was, can he play?” He has since written a book to help parents and students ask the right questions. “One of the things I wish I would have taught Jordan is to listen to your body. If your body tells you to stop—stop. Heat strokes don’t occur in games; heat strokes always occur while people are practicing.”

While McNair will not get to see his son graduate next month, helping pass legislation in the general assembly is helping him work through the emptiness of his grief. “I just applaud the state of Maryland for having the fortitude and the perseverance really to go outside of the lines.”

One section of the Jordan McNair Safe and Fair Play Act also focuses on the use of student-athletes’ name, image and likeness for financial gain. If the bill is signed into law, student-athletes at Maryland’s public universities and colleges would benefit from commercial use of their image. p

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

BY MARIA PRICE

Ready, Set, Go Garden

W

ith the new growing season on the horizon, it’s time to evaluate last year’s gardening successes and failures. We can learn from the past to improve this year’s garden.

As gardening continues to trend since the start of the pandemic, look for a lot of new products and more convenience. With so many people working from home, we now have a more sustained interest in gardens and the environment.

Every year, there are new plant releases; this year, I expect we will see more that accommodate smaller garden areas. There have been a lot of plants with dwarf growth habits and new fruit colors. Encore Azaleas have released Autumn Starburst, a dwarf azalea that is coral with white stripes and blooms in the spring and again in the fall. Midnight Cascade from Bushel and Berry is a small blueberry that grows in a hanging basket. Syringa New Age Lavender is a compact lilac from Bloomables. Deutzia Raspberry Sundae is a new mini-shrub with beautiful pink-purple flowers that repeats flowering from mid-spring to mid-summer and adapts well to being grown in a container.

Nurseries and garden centers continue to offer safe and convenient shopping with home delivery and curbside pickup. Some nurseries even offer online shopping and more ready-made gardens. White Flower Farm offers pre-selected annual collections for containers. The collections range from five to six plants, with or without the container. One collection called Afternoon Tea comes in shades of pinks and purples with black foliage and you don’t have to stress if the growing requirements are all compatible.

You can also buy kits to create themed gardens, such as pollinator gardens for sunny spots that will attract butterflies, bees, hummingbirds and moths; bold foundation gardens for shaded areas; no fuss sunny-side up gardens with easy-to-care-for plants;

tough as nails deer-resistant gardens for sun with perennials such as feather reed grass, Shasta daisies and English lavender; and native perennial gardens that would include Monarda, milkweeds and rudbeckia Goldsturm.

Once again, I expect to see more people growing their own food. We’ve seen the long lines of cars visiting food banks and pantries; there is still a large population that is food insecure—people lacking reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. For a few dollars, seeds can go a long way to grow food.

Any little scrap of land can be used and made into a garden. Some people may only have containers available to grow food. Products like grow bags come in an assortment of sizes and you’d be surprised at how much one can grow in them. You can even grow potatoes vertically in a 3-foot-wide circle of fence wire filled with compost and straw. This year you’ll also see more products for vertical gardening, to use in small spaces. The trend is for small homeowner greenhouses and native plants to replace maintenance-intensive lawns.

Raised beds can be used to create room for growing vegetables. Raised beds can be 6- or 12-inches deep. If you have voles, line the bottom with hardware cloth to keep them out. Fill the bed with a good compost. A raised bed will save your back and you’ll have fewer weeds.

All your cool weather plants can be started now. Radishes, lettuce, Brassicas (cabbage and broccoli), carrots, onions and potatoes can all be planted now. Warm weather veggies have to wait until late April or early May. Make sure to order your seeds early as there were shortages in 2020 and I anticipate this will also be a high demand year.

Many seed starting kits will be available using energy-saving LED lights.

These can be found from Park Seed and Gardeners Supply Company.

Mason bees are superb pollinators that start working at lower temperatures in early spring, long before the honeybees. They are friendly, docile and fun to watch. Kits can be found at www.kinsmangarden.com.

You can also add worms to your composting process and learn more about vermicomposting to form nutrient-rich fertilizer for your garden.

Design a garden that benefits your cooking, wellness and beauty with plants within your reach. Herbs like rosemary and lemon balm can enhance your memory. Basil, oregano, dill and hundreds more flavor your food and improve your health.

Native plants can help support wildlife and pollination of your vegetables.

I predict that Victory gardens will still be popular. With some schoolaged children still learning from home, what better lesson than to teach your children to grow their own snacks

like strawberries, blueberries and raspberries? Gardening also contributes to physical education, plant science and nutrition. Topics such as environmental science, horticulture and entomology can all become stepping stones to more serious study in the future.

If kids put effort into helping grow plants that you then convert it into a tasty dish together, they’ll eat it enthusiastically. Tomatoes can be turned into pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce, seasoned with home-grown herbs like basil and oregano.

Vibrant backyard habitats are beautiful to look at, and the creative outlet of gardening can help your family manage stress.

I believe that flowers and gardens everywhere can help make us a gentler people. Perhaps gardening can help unite us despite our differences.

I truly believe this will be a good gardening year.

ake sure you get your home’s air conditioning tuned up before the scorching summer heat sets in.

Change your disposable filters every month. A dirty filter slows down your airflow, makes your air conditioning run hotter and wastes energy—all things that cost you money. Dirt and dust from your dirty filter can cause air conditioning system failures, creating unnecessary and expensive repair issues. Many emergency demand service calls are due to clogged filters.

Savings of 20 to 40 percent can be seen in today’s efficient air conditioning models.

Air conditioners and heat pumps usually work well enough for 10 years or more. But a 10-year-old system is inefficient compared to recent models, as savings of 20 to 40 percent can be seen in today’s models.

The company specializes in designing, engineering, and installing complete comfort HVAC systems, standby generators and gas fireplace inserts.

BREATHE EASIER IN COMFORT

D

ue to the pandemic, people are spending more time at home. Homeowners are starting to realize how inefficient and uncomfortable their homes truly are. The more time they spend inside, the more our customers are realizing how important it is to have a healthy, comfortable and efficient home.

Stuffy rooms and unwanted hot/cold spots are indicators of poor air flow around your home. This can cause problems for your heating and cooling systems.

Things to remember that can help: Keep your interior doors open, change the filter on your HVAC system, make sure air vents and returns are properly cleaned and not blocked. More than 50 percent of the air you breathe in your home comes from your attic and/ or crawl spaces. That means mold, unwanted odors, pest feces (like mice droppings) and other contaminants are seeping into homes. Any ductwork located in these spaces also allow these things to enter into the HVAC system and filter throughout the entire house.

Spring is the perfect time to start anew. Here are some ways to easily perk up your home:

STEP INTO SPRING WITH A FRESH, CLEAN START

BY CLEANING MAID EASY

C

OVID-19 put everyone into overdrive when it comes to things being “clean”. Everyday surfaces are being cleaned over and over. It’s safe to say that we cannot wait until COVID-cleaning is a thing of the past, but on the bright side it really has instilled a habit of cleaning that has helped keep families healthier.

Spring cleaning? Mother Nature can’t make up her mind but you don’t have to tackle your spring list all at once. Choose one small task and go from there.

So, how much more cleaning could we possibly do? The short answer: A

• Open those windows and vacuum or wipe out your jambs. Warm weather, without the pollen, will be here before we know it.

• Clean out the cabinets. Have you held onto food in the pantry for too long? It’s time to toss, or donate what you can. Less is more.

• Replace those air filters. Your home’s breathing is important for your breathing.

• Wet-wash doors and window trim. It’s a big job, we know, but it makes a huge difference. While we love bleach, using white distilled vinegar and a drop of your favorite essential oil is also a good way to freshen up and disinfect.

• Switch out your comforters or bedding.

Besides preparing for warmer days ahead, the slightest change inside your home can make you feel like you’ve brought newness to your space, and we all know that fresh new starts are a huge benefit to mental health.

HOW TO HANG AND BEST DISPLAY ART

cBride Gallery in Annapolis shares their foolproof guide to displaying artwork.

and entertain the eye over a sofa, buffet or fireplace. If smaller paintings are added, it will diminish the impact of the larger painting. Place artwork 10 inches or more above the back of a sofa so heads will not bump on the frames.

Along Stairways

Embrace varied sizes and assymetry.

Photo by McBride Gallery.

Fireplaces with architectural molding nailed in place in a rectangle (or sometimes two rectangles) can greatly limit what can be hung. Two options: Remove the molding to create one large space or purchase or commission paintings, a pair or a diptych, that pleases you and works in the space.

For a less formal look above a fireplace, set the painting directly on the mantel. This placement is also helpful if the room has a lower ceiling and the painting is large. It gives the illusion of more space around the art.

Above a Sofa, Couch, Love Seat or Buffet Carefully choose selected areas for a single painting or for groupings. Let the space, the nearby furnishings and the painting help you make those decisions. A large, bold painting can carry

Hang the artwork so it will not be bumped by anyone walking up or down: Above shoulder height is recommended.

At the top of a stairway or landing is the perfect place for a dynamic bold painting that can be seen and appreciated from a greater distance.

On Bookshelves Bookshelves are a great place for small paintings. There is nothing more visually boring than bookshelves with only books. Move the books aside and place small sculptures or paintings in those spaces. It will be very inviting to come closer to enjoy smaller works of art at eye level.

GET YOUR HOME NOTICED

S

ince we were rocked by the unexpected pandemic, home buyers’ “must haves” have drastically changed as to what they are looking for in a home.

A close commute to work has taken a back seat to buyers looking for more square footage and outdoor living space to enjoy. Most buyers are searching for homes online and want to tour virtually. We’ve sold more homes using Zoom calls and Facetime than ever before. We even sell homes to overseas buyers, using just the internet.

The latest trend is repurposing what was once a living room or dining room to use as a home office or virtual school room. We’ve noticed buyers appreciate more statement light fixtures and gen-

P

utting your house on the market?

Take an honest look at the curb appeal of your home. Could it use improvement? Some sweat equity, a gallon or two of paint, and healthy plant material can transform a drab, dated exterior without breaking the bank or your back.

Here are a few DIY tips for sprucing up: • Clean up planting beds. Remove dead or dying plants or those that are overgrown, especially if they block the walkway or windows.

Snip off any broken branches, pull weeds, and add fresh mulch.

• Keep your lawn mowed and planting beds cleanly edged.

• Remove old or overgrown shrubs from foundation beds and replace them with fresh, healthy, and size-appropriate shrubs.

• Replace your mailbox and post.

• Replace or add house numbers.

• Replace outdated porch lighting.

• Add a new “Welcome” door mat.

• If your outdoor furniture has seen better days, either toss it or replace it.

• Power wash or hose down your exterior, driveway, and sidewalk.

• Give your garage doors a lift. Replace or paint hardware. If doors are dingy, a fresh coat of paint can make a huge difference.

• The same goes for your front door: A couple of coats of paint and updated hardware will make a big impact.

• Add a colorful porch pot with fresh, seasonal flowers.

MANAGE RISKS FOR A GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION

BY JOHN TARPLEY, SCHWARTZ REALTY

L

iving in beautiful southern Anne Arundel County means we have very little top soil and an abundance of clay. This, coupled with our proximity to the Bay, results in an ongoing battle with standing water. You can hire professionals to regrade and raise your yard. You may want to also consult your neighbors because this option may result in worse flooding for your neighbors. By consulting with your neighbors, you can work out property line ditches and other ways to move the water away from your properties.

There are native plants that naturally drink up lots of water. It’s best to consult a landscaper or nursery that has in-depth knowledge of placement and requirements of plants in your yard. French drains or manmade riverbeds to funnel water to drainage ditches are another option.

This is the time to also touch up outside paint that freezing temperatures may have caused to peel or pop off of exterior surfaces—painting will also help you if a potential buyer is using an FHA loan because peeling paint automatically stops an FHA loan until fixed.

Schwartz Realty assists buyers and sellers of both residential and commercial properties. John Tarpley makes himself available to clients 24 hours a day, seven days a week. He is committed to client satisfaction. “I have raced to a house to remove a client’s dogs and have had those dogs in the backseat of my vehicle for a last-minute showing, all to ensure that the house gets seen,” Tarpley says. “I have also grabbed my jacket at 10pm, walked out into a snowstorm to show a home to a client

who wanted to see an empty property— using a snow plow to ensure entry to the property. My wife books our vacations and knows that my only rule is that I have phone and internet service in order to assist my clients who need me back home. To say that each of my clients have my full attention is an understatement. I know who I work for.”

amounts of mulch, and keep it from piling on the trunk of the tree.

He also cautions homeowners to be aware when using sod, because sometimes sod projects can kill mature trees if done improperly. To avoid this, Graham recommends checking with an arborist.

Independent Tree Care specializes in helping clients achieve their goals of a safe yet beautiful landscape. With a team of certified arborists and Md. licensed tree experts, clients can be assured that industry standards and best management practices are of utmost importance.

ake sure to consult a certified arborist with tree concerns,” says Steve Graham, owner of Independent Tree Care. “We are trained to spot issues that are hazardous and could lead to property damage or worse. Once a property has been assessed, we can make recommendations for things like pruning or catch bad practices and maintenance issues before it’s too late and a good tree eventually has to be removed.

We strongly recommend consulting with experts to avoid some of these issues.”

Arborists can tell customers what tree species they have on site which is helpful so homeowners can understand and implement long-term goals for their property.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION April Fools

• An April Fools’ Day prank went wrong in Wichita, Kansas, on ... April 1, KWCHTV reported, when Arnthia Willis, 58, called her daughter that morning and said she’d been shot. The Wichita Police and Fire departments and Sedgwick County EMS responded to the address given, but discovered no one was there.

They later found Arnthia in suburban Derby and arrested her for an unlawful request for emergency service assistance.

• Michael Boatman, 41, discovered by two sheriff’s deputies wandering down the street at 1 a.m. in Spartanburg, South Carolina, wearing only a “clear bag over his genitals” on April 1, told the officers he was doing a “walk of shame” in penance for cheating on his wife, according to an incident report.

The Smoking Gun reported Boatman, who was smoking marijuana, according to the report, also allegedly told officers he had taken methamphetamine earlier.

Boatman briefly tried to run away from officers, police said, but was captured and arrested for indecent exposure, among other offenses.

Yikes!

An unnamed man emerged with his groceries from an Albertson’s supermarket in Las Cruces, New Mexico, on March 28, to find that his car had been overtaken by a swarm of an estimated 15,000 honeybees, according to the Las Cruces Fire Department. The man, who had borrowed the car, had left the back window down during his 10-minute trip inside the store, and the bees took up residence in the back seat. The New York Times reported he called 911, and responding firefighters turned to Jesse Johnson, 37, an off-duty firefighter who keeps bees as a hobby. Johnson brought an empty hive box treated with lemongrass oil (“It really mimics the scent of the queen,” he said) and lured the swarm out of the car. “I’ll do anything to keep people from killing bees,” Johnson said.

Cliche Come to Life

Around 4:15 a.m. on March 24, an unidentified resident of Laurium, Michigan, woke to find a gun pointed at his head, WLUC-TV reported. Laurium Police said Warren Meyers, 52, of Calumet, Michigan, allegedly demanded the homeowner give him his two cats. The “cat burglar” left with one cat and was later apprehended, along with the gun he used, said authorities. He was arraigned on March 29 in Houghton County Court; the fate of the stolen cat is unknown.

Jason Harvey, 50, of Romford, England, has been fined about $3,800 after his east London town council received 150 complaints from neighbors about his Saturday-night karaoke parties. “It has been a nightmare,” said one neighbor. “It was so loud, and his singing was terrible.”

Noise officers told the Evening Standard they received specific complaints about Harvey’s covers of Dire Straits’ “Sultans of Swing” and Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton’s “Islands in the Stream.” Harvey, who said he would appeal the fine, defended his voice: “I admit I’m no singer, but I have a go. I would have a couple of people over and they loved all that.”

Unexpected Diagnosis

Kent Ryan Tomao, 25, of Kidapawan City, Philippines, has experienced pain in his chest during cold weather ever since he was stabbed by some teenagers on his way home from work in January 2020.

Inquirer.net reported on March 24 that a recent X-ray taken as part of Tomao’s application for a mining job revealed the source: a 4-inch knife blade buried in his chest, just inches from his lungs. Tomao told local media he had “no idea there is a knife in my chest” and now “I am just seeking help so it can be removed.”

Animal Antics

• The Anchorage, Alaska, Daily News reported on March 26 that customers at a local Costco store are routinely robbed of large cuts of meat as they transfer their groceries to their cars ... by ravens.

More than a year ago, Olani Saunoa was buckling her toddler into a car seat when a raven swooped in and grabbed a package of short ribs from her car.

“He had picked up the entire package,” she said. And this year it happened to her again—a bird snatched a pack of pork ribs. Other customers are reporting similar incidents on social media. Rick Sinnott, a former wildlife biologist, isn’t surprised: Ravens “much prefer ... a package of short ribs from Costco to half of a hamburger bun from McDonald’s.”

• Neighbors in Northampton, England, have been annoyed by a swan that has been knocking on their doors, sometimes for hours at a time, for five years, Fox News reported on March 24. “He starts by rattling the letterbox then bashes the metal with its beak quite loudly,” said resident Stephen Legg. “The racket reverberates through the whole house.”

The bird targets houses only on one particular block, according to local media, but no one seems to know why.

Compelling Explanation

Deputies in Brevard County, Florida, clocked Charles Thomas, 65, of Malabar, going over 100 mph on his motorcycle and weaving in and out of traffic on March 31, according to an arrest report. When they finally caught up with him, Thomas reassured them by saying “he is trained to drive like that,” WKMG-TV reported. He was charged with reckless driving.

PUZZ Z LES ZZ THE INSIDE WORD

How many two or more letter words can you make in 2 minutes from the letters in: Bloodhounds (40 words)

KRISS KROSS

TRIVIA

Sandwich & Salad Fixings

Are you hot on the trail of the origin for this word? Something that makes ‘scents?’ Well, Bloodhounds are so-called because theirs was the first breed of dog whose blood or breeding records were maintained. Their genealogy was preserved in chronicles written by the ninth-century monks of St. Huberts Abbey in France. Lesser known hound-breed firsts include the Afghan Hound being the first to rest on a rug, the Basset Hound being the first to curl up on a sofa, the Grey Hound being the first to spell ‘gray’ incorrectly, and the Dachshund, being the first hound not to be known as a hound by most Americans, who instead call them ‘wiener-dogs.’

Scoring: 31 - 40 = Aloft; 26 - 30 = Ahead; 21 - 25 = Aweigh; 16 - 20 = Amidships; 11 - 15 = Aboard; 05 - 10 = Adrift; 01 - 05 = Aground
