Cicada Emergence: The Makings of a Historic Summer

T

his is the CBM Bay Weekly you’ve been waiting for—the cicada edition!

Okay, we’ll admit, no one actually asked for a cicada-themed issue. But the 17-year brood is just about ready to emerge, and their presence is going to affect us all, so we might as well consider all the angles involved.

Should we be concerned? Will they be creepy? Can they hurt us, our pets or our trees? Entomologists say the answer to all of these questions is no.

(Though I guess it depends on your definition of creepy. Large bugs with red eyes, which surface from the soil in great numbers, might fall into the creepy category for me.)

However, there is something beautiful about this 17-year phenomenon and the

anticipation surrounding it. The cicadas’ arrival is a common experience that people across the Chesapeake region will share—and it has nothing to do with the pandemic. I will gladly welcome a non-COVID-related current event, even if it does come with beady red eyes.

Having been underground for almost two decades since they hatched, the cicadas don’t know anything about the coronavirus. In fact, they also weren’t around for the Great Recession, the smartphone era, the presidencies of Barack Obama and Donald Trump, the mass-marketing of electric vehicles, or the dominance of social media.

In 2004, the last time these cicadas were around, Britney Spears’ belly-button-ring-and-denim-look were in style and I listened to her songs on my iPod

portable media player. That summer, Michael Phelps won eight gold medals at the Athens Summer Olympics, and America mourned the death of former President Ronald Reagan.

The changes of the last 17 years underscore the remarkable nature of these underground Chesapeake Country residents. The Brood X cicadas quietly wait as nymphs for all those years, through all the changes above the surface. Then, they storm onto the scene, shed their skins, become adults, mate, lay eggs and die, all in the course of one summer. The next time they emerge, my preschoolers will be college-age or graduating.

The presence of Brood X is a piece of history—a way to mark the passage of time. And once the 2021 population

is gone, most of us will probably forget about them until their 2038 reemergence approaches. Why not embrace the moment?

Let me reassure you: this issue of Bay Weekly isn’t entirely dedicated to the Brood X cicadas. We’re reporting on other stories, too: simple pleasures like the art of creating a May basket (Annapolis has the technique down pat—see page 6) and the start of rockfish season with tips for successful baiting.

Cicadas, rock fishing, May flowers— all hallmarks of a memorable summer.

Here they come! p —MEG WALBURN VIVIANO, CBM EDITORIAL DIRECTOR

NEW SPEED LIMIT NEAR NICE BRIDGE PROJECT, PLANS EMERGE FOR OLD BRIDGE’S FUTURE

BABY RESCUED FROM BAY IN OCEAN CITY BRIDGE CRASH

BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

A

brave and quick-thinking Good Samaritan saved the life of a baby who fell into Assawoman Bay during a multi-vehicle crash in Ocean City.

The Ocean City Fire Department (OCFD) says around 2:45 Sunday afternoon, a crash involving five vehicles took place on the Route 90 bridge.

Emergency responders got there to find a pickup truck dangling halfway over the guardrail and several people injured. A mass casualty incident was

declared.

According to OCFD, a child of 18 months to 2 years old was ejected from the car hanging over the guardrail and fell into the bay below, along with her car seat. A Good Samaritan immediately jumped over the guardrail and into the bay to rescue the toddler, who was flown by Maryland State Police helicopter to Johns Hopkin’s Children’s Hospital in Baltimore. The Good Samaritan has asked to remain anonymous.

Meanwhile, OCFD says firefighters

secured the teetering car with rescue tools and paramedics on-scene treated the other injured people. Seven patients were taken to local hospitals, in addition to the little girl flown by Medevac. She remains at Johns Hopkins in stable condition, and the other patients have all been released.

Route 90 remained closed for six hours after the accident. Ocean City Police are still investigating the cause, due to the complexity of the crash. It appears multiple collisions may have happened at the scene.

he Maryland Transportation Authority’s (MDTA) $463 million Nice/Middleton Bridge project is moving right along, and because of the sensitive construction operations underway, there’s a new speed limit in place for Potomac River boaters.

A brand new bridge connecting southern Maryland and northeastern Virginia is being built near the existing one between Charles County, Md. and King George County, Va. A new sixknot speed limit is now being enforced for 0.5 nautical miles north and south of the bridge.

Transportation leaders say calm river waters are essential to keeping construction workers safe and operations on track. In mid-February, crews began lifting and placing massive footing forms to build the new bridge’s foundations. The forms weigh as much as 195 tons (the weight of 135 average-sized cars) and measure 30 feet wide by as long as 52 feet (the size of a small house), MDTA says.

Known as “bathtubs”, the 33 forms are being placed and sealed atop previously-driven sets of piles. (Concrete piles up to 200 feet long and weighing over 200 tons are also still being driven, continuing until late 2021).

The bathtubs are lifted into place by two high-capacity floating cranes and eventually will support the columns of the new bridge. MDTA says the bathtubs are part of an innovative forming method that reduces construction time and environmental impact from bridge-building.

Boaters should also be prepared for brief restrictions of vessel traffic in the See SPEED on next page

ARTIFACTS REVEALED FROM MD’S FIRST FORT

BY MEG WALBURN VIVIANO

A

rchaeologists in Historic St. Mary’s City (HSMC) have begun to dive into the treasures that lie at the site of Maryland’s first settlement, the circa-1634 St. Mary’s Fort. And with the help of Governor Larry Hogan last week, they revealed some of the incredible finds already being made.

As Bay Bulletin reported in March, historians had been searching for the exact site of the fort for some 90 years, but it took a geophysicist using magnetic susceptibility, magnetometry, and ground-penetrating radar to confirm its location.

Dr. Travis Parno, HSMC Director of Research and Collections, and the governor unveiled artifacts including a 1633/1634 King Charles I silver shilling, an early 17th-century copper saints medallion, and a copper “tinkling cone” (an object worn by Native peoples).

HSMC’s Dr. Travis Parno shows off artifacts found in the recently-identifed St. Mary’s Fort. St. Mary’s City was Maryland’s first capital and is the fourth oldest English Colonial settlement in the nation, behind only Jamestown (1607), Plymouth (1620), and Massachusetts Bay (1630). HSMC has worked to preserve more than 800 acres of land and three miles of shoreline near the St. Marys River.

The site sits in a farmer’s field about a half-mile in from the St. Marys River, and is close to at least two indigenous

sites that date back 500–3,000 years.

Dr. Parno’s team is working with the Piscataway tribe at these sites as part

of a larger partnership, People to People: Exploring Native-Colonial Interactions in Early Maryland.

It’s best to check with the Coast Guard on the timing of those closures. MDTA reminds boaters to “use extreme caution in the area, steer clear of construction vessels, and slow down to Make No Wake.” Form-placing work is expected to continue until the end of the summer.

The new bridge is expected to be complete in early 2023. As for the old bridge, MDTA spokesman John Sales says crews will work to safely dismantle the existing bridge. Some of the materials will be used to create an artificial fish reef in local waterways.

Sales says that’s expected to happen in 2023 and 2024, with planning underway now for the final location of the anticipated reef site.

Anne Arundel Sues Fossil Fuel Companies

BY BRENDA WINTRODE

A

nne Arundel County filed a lawsuit last week against some of the biggest names in the fossil fuel industry, including Exxon, Shell and BP, seeking financial damages from climate change the county says the companies knew about and covered up.

The civil lawsuit filed in Anne Arundel Circuit Court alleges the defendants “conspired in a coordinated campaign to conceal and misrepresent the known dangers of fossil fuels” and knew for the last 50 years their products were introducing carbon dioxide into the earth’s atmosphere.

County Executive Steuart Pittman said in a statement the county aims to protect taxpayers and businesses from the financial costs of climate change.

“The damage inflicted by these companies damages our environment, and creates massive costs that shouldn’t be borne on the backs of our residents,” Pittman said.

Rising sea levels, coastal erosion and excessive flooding from intense storms have damaged the shoreline of Anne Arundel County, according to the lawsuit. The county detailed millions of dollars in damages to underground infrastructure, roads, businesses, shorelines and private properties.

“The cascading social economic and other consequences of those myriad other environmental changes—all due See FOSSIL on next page

to anthropogenic global warming—will increase in Anne Arundel County,” the lawsuit reads.

Baltimore City and the City of Annapolis have filed similar suits.

Local environmental groups side with the county and are closely watching the suits.

The Chesapeake Bay Foundation focuses on restoring the water quality of the bay and works to prevent shoreline erosion. “In Maryland, that’s where we kind of have the one-two punch,” said Maryland’s executive director Josh Kurtz. “Our land is sinking, and at the same time, sea levels are rising.”

Since 1950, Maryland’s sea level has risen 10 inches. In Annapolis, the rate of sea level increase has sped up to one inch every five years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and SeaLevelRise.org.

s they have for 66 years, businesses and homes throughout downtown Annapolis said goodbye to April showers and hello to May flowers by decorating their doors and windows with big, bold baskets of fresh-cut flowers and colorful ribbons on Saturday, May 1—May Day. Hosted by the Garden Club of Old Annapolis Towne, the 1956 beautification project-turned-annual tradition drew hundreds of visitors to stroll the streets, from Main Street and Market Space to West Street and Maryland Ave., and snap dozens of photos of their favorite displays. It helped that May Day fell on one of the year’s best-weather weekends.

The crowds included locals and visitors alike, from annual attendees to first-timers.

Marlene and Roger Juba of Severna Park, told CBM Bay Weekly, “It’s been great to see so many more people out

and human communities from those impacts,” he said.

Greater-than-average rainfall in 2018 and 2019 caused freshwater to flood into the Bay, said Kurtz, bringing pollutants, like nitrogen and phosphorus, along with it, he said. Dead zones and algal blooms result, which threaten the brackish ecosystems.

Climate change is “having really detrimental impacts to the communities on the Bay, near the Bay, and that rely on the Bay for the economic values it brings,” said Kurtz. And fossil fuel companies that, he says, knew about the dangers of burning fossil fuels must be held accountable.

Mike Tidwell, executive director of Chesapeake Climate Action Network agreed. “Big Oil has known for decades that burning fossil fuels would cause catastrophic climate damage,” wrote Tidwell. “Instead of changing course, they orchestrated a campaign of deception, made billions in profit and left communities to pay the price.” and so many more flowers than last year,” (including their favorite, a six-foot display at 134 Prince, the new luxury boutique hotel on Prince George Street).

Longtime friends Miranda Williams and Tracy Sanders enjoyed meeting up for the umpteenth year and taking in what they deemed “our favorite downtown Annapolis tradition.” Their favorite flowers? The coronavirus-themed display, featuring Corona Extra beer bottles and the red corona-spiked virions that illustrate the virus, at Cezanne Jewelers on the corner of Maryland Ave. and State Circle.

On the other end of the spectrum, Chris and Kerry from Cincinnati, picked May Day weekend for their inaugural trip to Annapolis, in large part due to the baskets they knew they’d see, and enjoyed posing beside the display on the Naval Academy’s Main Gate.

There were some new Main Street businesses joining the celebration as well. Sue Gauthier and Sarah Bender held a soft opening for the second location of their store, The Cottage, during the event. “We’ve been looking forward See MAY DAY on next page

to opening our doors all spring and we just so happen to have a former florist on our staff, so joining in the celebration and participating in May Day was perfect timing,” said Bender.

“This is such a wonderful tradition and symbol of the start of spring in Annapolis,” Mrs. Hogan told Bay Weekly after posing for a picture in front of Buddy’s Crabs and Ribs. “It’s also a great symbol of healing, especially this year, and I’m thankful that so many people in our community came together and worked together to make Annapolis a colorful place.”

Perhaps the single most colorful spot was in front of Gallery 57 West, where passersby viewed gallery artists’ oversized paper flower arrangements and painted their own flowers on two large canvases to be auctioned off during the First Sunday Arts Festival on May 2.

In Search of Birds State Park Quest Returns with Birding Theme

BY KERI LUISE

M

aryland Park Service’s popular Park Quest program returns for its 14th year, luring visitors to explore all 23 locations in the statewide system. And this year’s program is for the birds.

Running from May 1 through Oct. 31, each state park hosts its own quest activity for guests to complete and be entered into a drawing for prizes at the conclusion of the program. There are an average of five quests per region.

This year’s Park Quest has a theme for the first time: “Spread Your Wings to Explore Maryland’s State Parks” and all of the quests will be focused on birds.

“We just thought that that would help spark some interest for our staff who have been planning some of these for over a decade,” says Melissa Boyle Acuti, chief of interpretation for the Maryland Park Service. “So changing it up to have a theme I think helped bring some enthusiasm to the program.”

This year, Park Quest will repeat their “do-it-yourself” version of the program from last year and all quests and instructions can be found online. Boyle Acuti says that this style “does make it more accessible” for more people and it has allowed the season to be extended. “You can plan your summer vacation [around

the quest] if you wanted to—you could visit the mountains of western Maryland and do four or five quests while you were there.” “[Park Quest] started with just a handful of parks on the Eastern Shore,” says Boyle Acuti. “Some of the smaller parks put together these activities, trying to encourage folks, locals or out-of-towners, to come do an activity at their park and kind of learn, find where it is, maybe do some camping in the area and stay.”

Longtime Park Quest participant Ashley Lynn of Middletown said, “We are always blown away at the efforts of park staff on each of the quests! I’m always surprised by their creativity and care.”

The program’s prize drawing will be Nov. 2. To enter, participants must complete a Google Form created by the Park Service proving that they have completed at least 12 quests by Oct. 31.

“Our prizes range from an annual pass to Maryland State Parks, which is a $75 value, to a weekend of complimentary camping, and also what I call Park Quest ‘swag’, so stickers, bandanas, magnets, those sorts of things,” says Boyle Acuti.

New Germany State Park’s Park Quest is called Birding by Ear, in which guests hike the Pink (Orchard) Trail, stopping at points of interest in order to listen for different types of birds and complete a

crossword challenge.

“In Southern Maryland there’s a couple of really great ones,” Boyle Acuti says.

“Cedarville State Forest is doing one called The Great Migration Challenge.

You ‘become a bird’ and try to migrate and you learn a little bit more about the different hazards that birds face during migration.”

Chapman State Park, a designated Important Bird Area, has an activity called Chapman State Park Is For The Birds in which participants will visit different habitats and identify and record habitat observations and bird sightings along the way.

Pocomoke River State Park has a Bonus Quest. “We call it that because it does require a little bit extra because it is a paddle,” says Boyle Acuti. The Prothonotary Paddle leads visitors on a paddling adventure through the Great Cypress Swamp where they can uncover facts about the prothonotary warbler and what makes this habitat ideal for this unique bird species.

Ashley Lynn has been participating in Park Quest for 10 years now with her husband and three children, ages 14, 10, and 7.

“We started when the 10-year-old was

BAY BULLETIN 6 months old,” Lynn says. “We all participate. They are hiking pros at this point!”

Lynn says she has lots of favorite memories of “visiting all the beautiful places in Maryland and getting to know the state better, having our family working together as a team on the challenges, learning something new about history or science, a break from our day-to-day, and being adventurous!”

According to Boyle Acuti, Park Quest is “a great way to expand your world.”

“Our main goal is just to get folks... spending some time out in our parks, in nature, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine,” Boyle Acuti says. “We do hope that this will introduce more folks to our parks and maybe even camping and hiking or canoeing or kayaking, things that maybe they wouldn’t have tried without a little encouragement from a program like this.” https://dnr.maryland.gov/parkquest/ pages/home.aspx

ration for him. And there’s also trial and error. “When I mess something up, I have to learn how to fix it,” he said.

Given his interests, he decided to focus his video on e-waste. But his filmmaking covers a variety of topics.

“I’ve made many other informative videos,” says Bali. His prior films include a book trailer, an Earth Day film highlighting the threats to the bee population and how the bee population impacts the environment, and a video about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., all of which won him awards. He ran into some challenges creating his e-waste video, namely “finding information because many websites don’t have exact statistics on the burden of e-waste.” The 60-second time limit was also a challenge and required several script re-writes. His advice for future contest participants is, “to just starting working on it [your video] because then you’ll figure things out, slowly, and hopefully make a good video and learn more about your topic.”

He plans to invest part of his prize money and is debating purchasing more

The Brood X Magicicada septendecula are set to emerge this month. Photo by Bonnie Ott.

DON’T FEAR I

T SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A HORROR MOVIE. Billions of insects crawling out of the ground, shedding their shells, taking to the air and buzzing at all hours. But experts say we have nothing to fear from the emergence of the Brood X (as in the Roman numeral 10) cicadas this month.

Their emergence is a natural occurrence garnering a lot of attention regionally. Even Governor Larry Hogan went so far as to issue a proclamation last week declaring May and June 2021 as Maryland Magicicada Months, recognizing the return of the periodical cicada and generating public awareness about these fascinating insects. Brood X cicadas (Magicicada septendecula) are only found in the eastern United States and emerge once every 17 years. In Maryland, they will begin to emerge in May and will die off by the end of June.

“I encourage all Marylanders to take advantage of this opportunity to learn about these remarkable, harmless creatures,” said Governor Hogan. “For a few short weeks this spring, many across the state will have a front-row seat to witness a natural phenomenon that happens nowhere else on the planet.”

If all this buggy talk leaves you feeling a little creeped out, it may be a great time for a vacation. Maps of the emergence show that the cicadas will not make an appearance on the Eastern Shore; the bugs don’t like the sandy soil. Maryland beaches, such as Ocean City, are putting their PR machines to work, promoting their resorts as a bug-free zone.

No one at CBM Bay Weekly has been following the cicadas’ progress closer than Creature Feature columnist Dr. Wayne Bier— K AT H Y K N O T T S baum. He sends in this latest dispatch on a curious sight in his garden.

was scraping the top level of soil off my garden plot when I noticed many circular vertical holes. Each were about the diameter of a dime. I stuck a straight twig down one and found it to be about 8 inches deep. As I relaxed my hold on the twig, it started to move, changing the angle at which it was resting. Instead of digging down through tree roots to see the animal that I had disturbed, I covered up the holes. I realized that very soon my yard is going to be covered in emerging Brood X cicadas.

The cicadas wait until the temperature of the ground and air are above 65 degrees before they emerge but do some preparatory digging ahead of time.

They have been growing, maturing and waiting underground for 17 years.

Brood X is the largest and densest population of 15 groups of periodical cicadas. In our area, there can be as many as 1.5 million per acre. Numbers will vary from place to place. Based on the 2004 Brood X emergence in Mary-

land, cicadas will likely appear in the following counties: Allegany, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil, Frederick, eastern Garrett, Harford, Howard, Montgomery, Prince George’s, and Washington. If you live in one of these areas and are surrounded by older trees, chances are their populations will be higher.

The males call to females for mating and it can get quite loud. At their last emergence in 2004, a section of Rock Creek Park registered the bugs at a whopping 96 decibels. That is loud enough to injure your hearing and would require shouting to be heard by someone six feet away. Their highest-recorded chorus is 105 decibels, comparable to a lawn mower, leaf blower or chainsaw. These sounds will usually last from late May to late June and will be loudest in the afternoon.

Brood X is the largest and densest population of 15 groups of periodical cicadas. In our area, there can be as many as 1.5 million per acre.

Scientists believe the emergence of so many insects at once is an evolutionary development to protect the species.

Cicadas are eaten by almost every omnivore and carnivore. Everything from spiders, mice, turtles, birds, foxes, and CONTINUED O

APPS AND WEBSITE LAUNCH CICADAS INTO THE 21ST CENTURY BROOD X IS COMING to a Chesapeake neighborhood near you. Those familiar with the abundant buggers can expect to once again be impacted by their sudden appearance. Usually that means someone exclaiming “Eww, gross,” or “Hey, cool!”, depending on their attitude toward flying insects.

But technology is now interacting with these high-decibel critters to help bring them down to Earth and help make them a bit more understandable.

bears will devour them. In 2004, some bird species, like the Mississippi kite, moved into our area to feed on the cicadas. The kites, as their name implies, like to soar in the sky and catch flying insects—and cicadas do a lot of flying.

By having a huge number of insects emerging at one time, the predator becomes full, leaving plenty of cicadas to reproduce and continue the species.

The process is called predator satiation.

After emerging and shedding their nymphal exoskeletons, they grow wings. The adult flying cicadas only live about two weeks and are in a hurry to complete their mission. If a cicada escapes being eaten, it will make a loud buzzing noise to attract the opposite sex. That noise comes from a special organ called the tymbal. The tymbal

A muscle tightens and the ridges make noise as the tightening causes them to collapse, kind of like pushing in the side of a sealed, but halffull, plastic water bottle.

After a brief courtship and mating, the females use a special tube-like organ, the ovipositor, to deposit eggs into small

Dr. Gene Krtisky is working with the Center for IT Engagement at Mt. St. Joseph University in Cincinnati, enlisting the public to help track the cicada emergence. You can view the observations of your neighbors on this app. There have already been multiple reports in our area.

Copperheads cause for concern?

A

recent article making the rounds on social media suggested that the Brood X emergence will also bring out an unwelcome visitor: copperhead snakes. But rest assured, Marylanders shouldn’t worry any extra about the presence of a venomous snake.

“Any special relationship between the Brood X cicadas and copperhead snakes is myth-making, presumably based upon the irresistible human urge to mix the deliciously icky with the deliciously scary,” says Jonathan McKnight, associate director of Maryland DNR’s Natural Heritage Program.

“Like many animals, copperheads who have the good fortune to A copperhead feasting on a cicada. Photo live during a Brood X emergence will enjoy an unlimited supply of

Part of the magic of the periodic cicadas, he says, is that by emerging very rarely, and usually on a prime number cycle, predators are unable to time their own reproduction to their eccentric schedule. “So, while the supply of free lunches will be unlimited—indeed the entire cicada strategy involves filling up the predators and then still relentlessly spilling forth—they are a limited-time offer. A few weeks of all-you-can-eat buffet and then it’s back to hunting mice.”

McKnight still recommends being aware of situations in which a copperhead could be present, such as moving a woodpile or flipping over a canoe that has been untouched for a while. “Be alert and give them a chance to move off if you encounter them. They do not want to bite you. There are too many other great things to eat—especially this year.”

quently death to the branch. The tiny white nymphs will fall from trees and immediately begin to burrow underground where they will live until 2038, feeding on the sap in the tree’s roots.

So, when is this going to happen?

When will they come out? When the temperature is right. For local data on the emergence, you can track observations in a smartphone app (see sidebar above). Some cicadas were discovered in the soil around the end of April but the main attraction should occur later this month. Tree injury from the heat and drought of 2019 may have affected their numbers and there may be fewer than expected.

The cicadas are pretty crazy fliers and will likely run into windows, cars, buildings, and people. If one lands on you, simply brush it off. I would wear glasses or goggles when riding a bike.

Once the Brood X cicadas die in late June, there will be billions of carcasses decomposing on the ground and they may give off an unpleasant odor. Do not use pesticides or insecticides to try to kill them—doing so will not be helpful in controlling populations and only poses a threat of harming other helpful, beneficial insects. The best way to dispose of them is by adding their car-

COOKING WITH CICADAS THE LAST HATCH of Brood X prompted a reportorial feeding frenzy that lasted about 24 hours into the brunch hour, May 15, 2004.

I’d rented a campsite at Patapsco Valley State Park and set up a campfire-cooking operation so my employer at the time, City Paper in Baltimore, could have provocative bug-eating material to grace its newsprint.

We delivered, my friends and photographer and I: skillet-fried cicadas (think jalapeño poppers but with an exoskeleton surprise inside), tortilla sandwiches holding together hotsauced cicada pancakes, cicada gumbo, cicada Prep for skillet-fried cicadas. omelettes made with the Photo by John Ellsberry. leftovers. The sensation of working hard to swallow a bite of omelette as an unforgiving cicada leg scraped along my gullet still makes me gag a bit.

Tenerals - the soft-shelled cicadas found clutching on the sides of trees just after they emerge from the ground, before the sun hardens their shells - make for good eating straight up (chaser recommended) after briefly pickling them in a vinegary preparation like Worcestershire sauce.

This time around I plan to dry-roast the buggers on cookie sheets in the oven and pound them into flour to use in baking. Maybe whip up some muffins or a cake to explore the sweet side - or maybe make pizza dough and toss on some pickled tenerals as toppings. Yes, cicada pizza sounds about right.

casses to a compost pile.

Cicadas do not chew, bite, or sting, so they are not a threat to humans, pets, animals, or most plants. If your pet or animal consumes a few cicadas, they should be fine, though over-indulging may upset their stomach.

“Cicadas themselves are nontoxic creatures, so if your pet eats one or two at a time there shouldn’t be a problem,” says Dr. Tommy Kozek, emergency veterinarian and founder of Anne Arundel Veterinary Emergency Clinic. “As with anything, all is good in moderation,” he said. “If pets overconsume cicadas or

their exoskeletons, it can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea. We don’t recommend that pet owners allow their pets to overconsume substances of any kind.”

Even humans have been known to enjoy some cicada delicacies. There are actual cookbooks available on how to serve up the winged bites. Chefs say freezing and then boiling is the best first step to destroy any microbes.

I don’t think I’ll do this but collecting them when they first emerge and cooking them as a stir fry is apparently the thing to do. Invite the neighbors.

GARDENING FOR HEALTH

STORY AND PHOTO BY MARIA PRICE

Enjoy the Spring Bloom

A

nnapolis is a wonderful town to see May Day baskets carefully displayed on people’s doors. I certainly feel like celebrating May’s flowers after the long COVID-winter of torrential rain and wind.

Every day we have new things blooming thanks to the heat. So, enjoy your garden and the flowers it produces and then spread the joy to others. It certainly has not been a fun year but flowers can turn things around.

Although not as popular in America as it is in European countries, May Day is a day of celebrating spring, fertility and femininity. It is celebrated on May 1 and the history of the holiday goes back to Roman times as a festival of flowers. This was a five-day festival in honor of the goddess Flora with offerings of flowers, dancing, ringing bells, May queens and dancing around the maypole. The night before, men would strip a birch tree (the maypole) and stake it in the ground. Long ribbons were tied to the pole and each dancer would weave a ribbon in a pattern around the pole. I remember doing this when I was in elementary school in Anne Arundel County.

The Celts of the British Isles believed May 1 to be the most important day of

the year, when the festival of Beltane was held. This May Day festival was thought to divide the year in half, between the light and the dark.

The other European tradition that has survived is the hanging of May baskets on doorknobs. People make small baskets filled with treats or flowers to give secretly to friends and neighbors. It is customary to leave the basket on the doorstep of a neighbor or friend, ring the doorbell and run away.

If the friend catches you before you get away, you must give them a kiss.

May Day baskets are fun and easy to make and are a great arts and crafts activity to make with children. A piece of colored paper rolled into a cone can be a simple basket or you can use a recycled Easter basket. A small plastic cup or empty pill bottle can be put inside the cone or basket or use a small piece of floral foam. Add water and tape some ribbons to the cone. Cut your favorite blossoms and fill your basket.

Flowers that hold up well are azaleas, rhododendrons, tulips, narcissus, lilacs, early roses, columbines, snowball viburnums, bleeding hearts, forget-menots, irises and English wood hyacinth.

Surprise someone this spring with a May basket from your garden. p

SPORTING LIFE

The windy opening days of trophy ROCKFISH season eliminated all but the larger crafts working the Chesapeake FISHFINDER but those that did get out did well. Though no distinct patterns emerged with fish being encountered on both Eastern and Western Shores, most charter boats reported good catches of big fish.

Trolling was the dominant tactic with bucktails trailing large sassy shad in white and/or chartreuse again the best producer and boats pulling umbrella rigs in the same colors coming in second. The SNAKEHEAD bite is building steadily on the Eastern Shore down Black Walnut way with bull minnows under bobbers being the dominant theme. Spin anglers throwing 3 - to 4-inch paddle tail soft plastic jigs are scoring also. CARP are in spawning mode, and WHITE and YELLOW PERCH are still showing up in the tribs though both of those runs are mostly over. Spring is here and all is well.

The Art of Bait Fishing for Trophy Rock T

he angling arts comprises many techniques. Generally, there is trolling, fly fishing, jigging, casting synthetic baits, and bait fishing—and each of these approaches has their adherents. The presentation of either live baits or pieces of bait which are part of a target fish’s normal diet is the most popular form of the angling sport, though it is often said to lack challenge and sophistication.

Both beliefs are false. The truth is, not only is bait fishing, from a pure angling perspective, the purist form of the experience, it is also the most productive, the most relaxing and, in its highly developed forms, catches the most and the biggest examples of the target in question.

To be really effective, bait fishing, both from a boat and from shore, requires a deliberate and researched approach. One has to understand the dietary nature of the target species. In the instance of trophy-sized rockfish, or striped bass, that means determining what those fish normally consume in their early spring travels and how the fish locate it.

Since large rockfish although gen-

One of the more desirable foods they encounter along their migratory routes are bloodworms.

The second most popular bait for giant rockfish is menhaden, a large, oily, protein rich and relatively plentiful bait fish. Also known as bunker, mossbunker, fatback and pogy all along the striper’s northern migratory path, and alewife here in the Chesapeake, menhaden is common in near-shore ocean waters from Nova Scotia to Florida and is the principal source of sustenance for striped bass.

And since this fish is impossible to keep alive in captivity, the best, freshest caught forms of menhaden are the most effective baits, especially for the big fish in spring (minimum legal size of 35 inches). Ground up and used as chum, an attractant, chunks of fresh menhaden are the single most effective bait along with jumbo bloodworms for successfully enticing a hookup with this popular fish. Menhaden is generally available, fresh and frozen, whole and in chum buckets, in most bait and fishing tackle shops everywhere in Maryland close to the Bay.

atie Mitchell (Abbi Jacobson: Curb Your Enthusiasm) has longed to find her people. Always an outsider in her hometown, Katie threw herself into filmmaking, posting her works on YouTube. When she gets into film school, Katie believes she’s finally found her community—a group of movie nerds who admire her creativity and encourage it. She spends the summer counting down the days until she can leave home.

Katie’s dad Rick (Danny McBride: The Righteous Gemstones) isn’t so sure about film school. A Luddite, Rick dismisses Katie’s films and tells her she should come up with a practical plan for her future. The fight that ensues sees Katie’s laptop shattered, and the father-daughter bond horribly damaged.

To fix his relationship with his daughter, Rick decides on a plan: He cancels her plane ticket to school and packs the family up for a cross-country road trip. He hopes that forced family bonding time as he drives Katie to college will help him reconnect with his kids.

Unfortunately for the Mitchells, the

18 • BAY WEEKLY • May 6 - May 13, 2021

world ends halfway to their destination.

A robot uprising finds the entire human population of Earth captured, except for the Mitchells. Can the bickering family find a way to stop the machine invasion before humanity is doomed?

Hilarious and surprisingly sweet, The Mitchells vs the Machines is the rare animated film that appeals to all ages. Featuring a great voice cast and snappy writing, the movie is a clever twist on the classic family road trip tale. Directors Michael Rianda and Jeff Rowe make their feature debut with a whip-smart script and plenty of lickety-split jokes. You’ll have to pause the film several times just to take in the myriad of great sight gags hidden in every frame.

Rianda and Rowe also use an innovative style to make this one of the more visually appealing films of 2021.

A mishmash of 3D animation, 2D graphics, and live-action visuals, the movie is an innovative feast for the eyes. The directors manage to give the film the same sort of stylistic feel as Katie’s exuberant films. The result is animation that feels fresh and fun at every turn.

The film is also surprisingly complex for a family film. Rianda and Rowe never truly take a side between Katie’s tech obsession and Rick’s technophobia. The Mitchells vs the Machines is a movie that reveals strengths and weaknesses and seeks a middle ground for both. Katie’s imagination and phone savvy are just as essential to surviving the robot apocalypse as

Rick’s mechanical abilities. This is a movie about celebrating what you’re into and respecting the hobbies of those you love.

Bolstering this message is a brilliant voice cast. McBride in particular is impressive, setting aside his usual bombastic man-child antics to deliver a nuanced and sweet performance.

His Rick is a well-meaning man who just can’t seem to understand why his daughter is no longer his best friend.

Oscar-winner Olivia Colman (The Father) camps it up as a Siri-like villain who is tired of being taken for granted by the human race. Once the center of humanity’s universe, she doesn’t take it very well when her creator announces a better technology.

Her curt delivery and dry wit is the perfect counterbalance to the zany Mitchells.

Though the film doesn’t pack the emotional wallop of your average Pixar film, The Mitchells vs the Machines is full of sentiment. It’s an excellent combination of heartfelt lessons and wacky antics. Adults will enjoy the wry commentary on social media while kids will laugh themselves silly over the antics of the Mitchell family pug.

If you’re starting to feel the pandemic has made screen zombies of your family, watch one screen together and bond over the hilarious dysfunction of the Mitchells. It might inspire you to do a little family bonding, or at least

buy a pug.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION Gaming the System

• In Taiwan, where companies are required to give newlyweds eight days of paid leave, an unnamed bank employee in Taipei used a loophole in the law to claim 32 days of leave over 37 days last year, reported Agence France-Presse on April 21. The man and his wife got married four times and divorced three times, claiming eight days of leave for each wedding. The bank complained to the city labor department, which sided with the employee and fined the bank about $670 for violating the regulation, sparking public criticism. The labor department later revoked the fine “to recognize a mistake and improve,” it said.

• An unnamed civil servant in Italy is accused of collecting full pay at his job at Ciaccio hospital in Catanzaro since 2005 even though he never showed up for work. The man is also accused of threatening his supervisor if she filed a report against him; she later retired and none of her successors noticed his absence. The BBC reported authorities discovered the alleged fraud as part of a wider investigation into absenteeism in Italy’s public sector, and six managers at the hospital are also under investigation. The truant worker reportedly collected about $650,000 over the years.

Don’t Eat That!

Among the treasures discovered at Oxburgh Hall in Norfolk, England, is a 121-year-old chocolate bar, still in its tin, commissioned by Queen Victoria for troops fighting in the Second Boer War in South Africa, Reuters reported on March 31. Oxburgh was the ancestral home of the Bedingfeld family for 500 years, and one of them, Sir Henry Edward Paston-Bedingfeld, fought in that war; the chocolate bar was discovered in his helmet case. “Although you wouldn’t want it as your Easter treat,” mused Anna Forrest, cultural heritage curator at Britain’s National Trust, “it is still complete and a remarkable find.”

On the lid, a message is inscribed in Queen Victoria’s handwriting: “I wish you a happy new year.”

Fine Points of the Law

Caron McBride, 52, applied to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to change her name on her driver’s license after getting married in November, and was told to call the Cleveland County District Attorney’s office in Oklahoma, where she learned she was wanted there on a charge of felony embezzlement for failing to return a VHS tape of “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” to a Norman video store in 1999. “I thought, this is insane,” McBride said, but prosecutors accused her of “willfully, unlawfully and feloniously embezzle(ing)” the tape, valued at $58.59, according to court documents. The Washington Post reported McBride had no memory of renting the tape, but guessed the man

she lived with at the time must have gotten it for his two young daughters.

On April 23, prosecuters in Norman said they would drop the charge and expunge McBride’s record.

Jungle Justice

A man suspected of poaching rhinos in South Africa’s Kruger National Park was trampled to death by a herd of elephants on April 17, according to park authorities. Managing Executive Gareth Coleman praised the park’s “successful weekend in the fight to keep our rhinos alive” as rangers arrested five suspects, carrying hunting rifles and an ax, in a continuing crackdown on poaching, reported The Washington Post. (BONUS: A skull and a pair of pants were all that remained of a suspected poacher killed by an elephant and eaten by lions in the park in 2019.)

Awesome!

Police in the Hradec Kralove region of the Czech Republic were stunned when a man turned in a Soviet T-34 tank and an SD-100 artillery gun as part of a nationwide weapons amnesty program designed to legalize guns that had not been registered. Prague Morning reported on April 10 that the man was a collector of historic weaponry and has owned the 1950s-era tank, which had been painted pink, since the 1990s.

Authorities checked the tank and gun to confirm they have been properly deactivated, and the man was allowed to keep them in his collection. The amnesty campaign continues until July.

Creme de la Weird

Anna Marie Choudhary, 33, of Boone, North Carolina, was sentenced March 31 in West Virginia to 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder, ending a case McDowell County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Dennie Morgan called the “craziest” his office has ever seen. Choudhary had been arrested, along with her father, Larry Paul McClure Sr., 55, of Pendleton, Kentucky, and her sister, Amanda Michelle Naylor McClure, 31, of Chicago City, Minnesota, in connection with the 2019 murder of John Thomas McGuire, 38, boyfriend of Amanda McClure, reported the Watauga Democrat. According to Morgan, McClure and his daughters “tortured” and killed McGuire on Valentine’s Day 2019 and buried his body. Later, convinced McGuire was still alive, they exhumed the body and drove a stake through it before dismembering and reburying it.

Larry and Amanda McClure then went to Virginia, where they were married, Morgan said. Larry McClure confessed to the murder after being arrested in Kentucky on unrelated charges. He pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life without mercy. Amanda McClure pleaded guilty

to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 40 years.

Opportunity Knocked

Kelyn Spadoni, 33, of Harvey, Louisiana, was fired from her job as a dispatcher for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff ’s Office after she was arrested on April 7 and accused of refusing to return more than $1.2 million mistakenly deposited in her brokerage account

by Charles Schwab & Co., said sheriff ’s office spokesman Capt. Jason Rivarde.

According to a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in New Orleans, Schwab meant to transfer $82.56 into Spadoni’s account in February, but instead transferred $1,205,619; when Schwab tried to correct the error the next day, it was told the funds were not available.

NOLA.com reported Spadoni is suspected of moving the money and using some of it to buy a new house and an SUV, but authorities have been able to recover about 75% of the money, according to Rivarde.

Canine Chronicles

• Newsweek reported a dog lover in Hobbs, New Mexico, who identifies himself as girthbrooks1994 on TikTok, couldn’t figure out why the English bulldog he’d been given didn’t respond to any of the commands he gave it until he tried something different—Spanish.

Now named Senor Snax, the dog is shown on posted videos readily obeying commands such as “dame la mano” and “sientate” (“give me your hand” and “sit down”). “He’s a bien boy and very spoiled,” says the proud owner.

• The Edmonton Fire Rescue Service in Alberta, Canada, was called out on April 20 by reports of a dog driving a car down Guardian Road, United Press International reported. Firefighters determined the dog had been left alone in the car and accidentally shifted it into neutral, allowing it to roll along the road. They were able to stop the car and rescue the dog without incident.

Tribute

John Hinkle, 39, a two-time NCAA bowling champion for Western Illinois University, shot a perfect 300 game on April 12 at Landmark Lanes in Peoria, using a ball containing his father’s ashes.

Because he bowls with two hands, Hinkle said he is allowed only two holes in his bowling ball, so he had the thumb hole filled with some of his father’s ashes after the elder Hinkle, who introduced him to the sport, died in 2016, United Press International reported. “I had tears in my eyes in the 11th and 12th frames.

I couldn’t tell you where that last ball went,” Hinkle said. “He was there.”

The CryptoQuip below is a quote in substitution code, where A could equal R, H could equal P, etc. One way to break the code is to look for repeated letters. E, T, A, O, N and I are the most often used letters. A single letter is usually A or I; OF, IS and IT are common 2-letter words; and THE and AND are common 3-letter words. Good luck!
