Back to Basics The parts of the pandemic we shouldn’t leave behind

ow often do parents and grandparents wistfully speak of their youth as “a simpler time”, wishing for a return to a more wholesome, slower-paced lifestyle? Folks of a certain generation recall time spent at home as a family gathered around a single TV or radio—a contrast from today’s individual devices and social media videos. Children played outside with their neighbors, rather than being shuttled around to extracurricular activities. People didn’t frequently jump on planes for a long weekend away, instead enjoying the resources closer to home like the Chesapeake Bay. In a pandemic twist, some of the simple, wholesome pursuits of yesteryear have come surging back. Our grandparents couldn’t have predicted it would take a worldwide health crisis to restore the simple life. But in some ways, our limited options allowed it

to happen. Because COVID-19 took away our busy on-the-go activities like festivals, international travel, cruises and big gatherings, Chesapeake Country rediscovered favorite activities that center around staying close to home and getting outdoors. Since last spring, families are planting gardens, hiking, fishing, and boating. At the height of the pandemic, things like making sourdough bread and completing jigsaw puzzles were all the rage—pastimes that would otherwise seem quaint and old-fashioned. Some activities grew in popularity by necessity. When grocery stores struggled to keep staples in stock, some people bought directly from local farms. Others began frequenting farmers markets for the first time, feeling safer doing their shopping outdoors. While we’ve thankfully moved past the panic and food shortages of a year

ago, many of the people that started “buying local” have continued the habit. Some realized what my family has known for years: the farmers market isn’t just a food-shopping errand—it’s an experience! At our cherished Saturday market, my husband buys his favorite groundto-order coffee, the kids gulp down fresh-squeezed lemonade, and I buy a box of pastel-colored macarons in flavors like pistachio and lavender-vanilla. Oh yeah—and when we have time, I also pick up fresh fruit and corn on the cob, squash, or other in-season produce. Farms and farmers markets have blossomed, and in some cases expanded, thanks to all the renewed interest in local food sourcing. On page 10, find out more about the markets near you. And farm-fresh food is not the only way to enjoy the products of nature in Chesapeake Country: in this week’s

issue, our Gardening for Health column makes a strong case for buying local when it comes to cut flowers. And our Sporting Life columnist walks you through how to catch your own rockfish dinner on a fishing charter. Like the farmers market, it’s not just a food source, it’s a whole experience. While pandemic restrictions continue to ease and events gradually resume, my hope is that we won’t lose the simple life altogether—my hope is we’ll protect some of our family time, stay close with our neighbors and keep enjoying the outdoors. And maybe even bring home some fresher-than-fresh farmers market goodies straight from our local producers. Yum! p

YOUR SAY

don’t show up for their first shifts. This has been an ongoing problem for many months now. We are going into summer and our busy part of the year. Some of our former employees that went off to college will be returning very soon which will be a big help. We have an amazing staff that has been with us for years and some newer employees that

are a great addition to our team, but finding new staff is the biggest issue in our day-to-day operation. The COVID pandemic affected us as some of our staff have kids and with virtual school it meant that our staff had to stay home with their kids—that we support 100%. Finding staff for the restaurant industry can always be a bit challenging but in the 13 years I have worked in the industry I have never seen it this bad. Usually at this time of the year we are full-staffed, training the new hires and gearing up for the summer but this year we are looking to add 6–8 full and part time employees. This is not just a problem in our restaurant. Talking with other restaurant owners and managers, it is a problem for all of us. I can tell this isn’t just affecting the hospitality industry. With purchasing for the restaurant, you can see the effects on the farming industry and meat suppliers all having staffing issues and with those we are facing product shortages and increased pricing across the board (See “Crabcakes in Jeopardy?” page 4). I feel that one of the biggest reasons is the increase in unemployment and the extra money the government is providing [the unemployed]. They simply do not want to come back to work yet. We have been trying to advertise that we are hiring every way possible and scanning application to be sure they will be a good fit and have the availability needed for the positions. I think one thing everyone can do when they go out to eat or are just picking up carryout is to know that the restaurants are doing everything they can to provide the best service, best quality of food, and the fastest service

they can with the staff they have. Try and be patient. I know it can be frustrating but the staff we do have are working tirelessly, working doubles and extra shifts and owners and managers are working open to close and filling in every shift just to keep the doors open. Thanks,

In response to “Help Wanted” in May 13 issue (https://bayweekly.com/ help-wanted-2/) We at South County Café are having a very hard time finding staff and even a problem after hiring as some employees

In response to our cicadas cover story May 6 Who let the cat out? Was hoping you could enjoy the cicadas elsewhere by yourselves for a few. But no, under the cover of darkness, they clawed their way out, and slowly, stealthily, blade after blade, marched like an army to trees, branches, plants. Shells spilt open. Aliens in the form of plump, white, soft bodies with red bug eyes emerged, hanging on until translucent wings begin to form and grow. Sometimes the shaking to dry them, caused plopping on the ground below. No matter, elongated bodies formed, colors changed, eyes bugged out further. Puberty in a flash. And now, like teenagers, they are just hanging out. Waiting for their buddies. Waiting for the girls to arrive. Waiting for the party to begin. And when the music starts, the [mating] begins in earnest. Like race car drivers, zipping around trying to win the prize. So loud, you’ll strain to hear the real race car drivers around town. 100 decibels!!! Bring on the ear plugs! And just when you could go outside without a mask! Psyche! CYNTHIA CRONAN WOOD

CRABCAKES IN JEOPARDY? Crabmeat Shortage Threatens Bay Restaurants BY CHERYL COSTELLO

f you’re excited to get back out to your favorite waterside spots for crabcakes this summer, be warned: The region’s restaurants are experiencing a lump crabmeat shortage that has caused prices to skyrocket. Your market-priced crabcake could be higher than expected, or even unavailable. It all stems back to—you guessed it—the pandemic. “From my experience when purchasing crab, I’ve never experienced the prices or limited availability that I’m able to purchase [now],” says Steve Hardison, Executive Chef at Pirates Cove Restaurant and Dock Bar in Galesville. The supply of lump crabmeat worldwide is not meeting demand, and that has driven prices sky high. Hardison says for Maryland crab, he’s paying about $30 per pound for lump and $40 for jumbo lump. That drives “market price” for customers higher, too. Hardison says he has to remain conscious about how much they’re charging customers—and warns that diners may see some crab products coming off the menu. The timing isn’t good, as many diners are looking to get back out to restau-

rants as mask mandates and capacity restrictions are lifted. “It’s a special occasion! We’re out without a mask!” smiles Jane Conley of Huntingtown, eating outside at Pirates Cove. For her, a special occasion means ordering seafood—most likely crab. Phillips Seafood Restaurants, who have long sourced their crabmeat from places far and wide, is dealing with the same shortage. Brice Phillips tells Bay Bulletin, “Last year when the pandemic hit, you had a lot of factories in Southeast Asia that just straight-up shut down. They were scared of what was going to happen and how the virus was going to affect their population.” Phillips, who is also the chairman of the National Fisheries Institute Crab

Council, shares, “A really good friend of mine is probably the number one jumbo lump user in the Baltimore area, and he called me just a few days ago begging me for meat. He said, ‘I can’t find any meat anywhere.’” G&M Restaurant near BWI Airport, frequently named among Maryland’s best crabcakes, announced last week an unprecedented shortage of crabmeat. As G&M posted on social media, they had to shut down online orders for a time. Unfortunately, there probably isn’t a quick fix, Phillips says. “Until you see the demand pull back, there’s really not going to be that much of an improvement in the supply of crabmeat.” Until then, expect higher prices and hope that your favorite dish isn’t taken off the menu.

BEAVERS, HERON MARK STREAM RESTORATION SUCCESS IN MAGOTHY WATERSHED BY CHERYL COSTELLO

Neighbors have also enjoyed blue heron sightings and plenty of frogs along the streambanks. Photo: Cheryl Costello

busy residential area of Annapolis is now home to abundant wildlife, thanks to a project born 11 years ago. Anne Arundel County’s watershed protection bureau worked to improve stormwater outfalls and restore the Cat Branch stream in the Magothy River watershed. And as locals showed Bay Bulletin, the improvements are bringing beavers and other animals to the stream. The project is focused in and around Cat Branch, close to Broadneck High School and part of the greater Magothy River watershed. Mason Brunner and his mom, Dana Brunner, both of Cape St. Claire, were lucky enough to catch cell phone video of a beaver who had built a dam right off busy Cape St. Claire Road, at the site of the stream restoration project between two townhome communities. “It’s really exciting that we have wildlife like this in our neighborhood,” says See WATERSHED on next page

And Wally isn’t alone: neighbors have also enjoyed blue heron sightings and plenty of frogs along the streambanks. Erik Michelsen, Deputy Director of Anne Arundel County Bureau of Watershed Protection and Restoration, walked Bay Bulletin through the 3.5 acres of improvements in Cat Branch. “There was an opportunity to go back in, provide some stormwater management, which we did on both sides of the valley for those communities and then

The county created a wetlands system, and then the beavers helped build upon their efforts—literally. “When beaver come into a system and they build their dams, they create impoundments that trap sediment that provide opportunities for nutrients processing,” Michelsen says. Mason Brunner’s experiences elsewhere on the Chesapeake tipped him off to the presence of the beavers. “I saw all these sticks and stuff and was like, well that’s a beaver dam, because we went to Calvert Cliffs before and I’ve seen a beaver dam [there].” Since the project wrapped up about 18 months ago, creating a new valley planted with native trees and wetlands plants, the wildlife is an encouraging sign, Michelsen says. “It says to us that we’ve got the habitat conditions right. Because if you’ve got the frogs there, that means you’ve got persistent water. If you’ve got the herons, that means the things the herons are feeding on—frogs, small fish, other kids of critters—are here, too.” And the area’s human residents get to be closer to nature. “I feel like it’s just pretty exciting that you can take a walk in your own community and see the wildlife like that,” says Dana Brunner.

BAY BULLETIN BLUE ANGELS RETURN TO ANNAPOLIS: HOW & WHERE TO WATCH BY STEVE ADAMS

t’s a bird, it’s a plane … no, it’s the return of the Navy Blue Angels air show to celebrate Naval Academy Commissioning Week—a beloved Annapolis tradition we lost in 2020 due to the pandemic. A press release from the City of Annapolis warns that “city residents and visitors should expect heavy traffic, temporary road and bridge closures, parking limitations, maritime traffic restrictions and increased security in addition to COVID-19 pandemic precautions and restrictions” during the week of May 24. Despite the minor inconveniences, locals, visitors, and boaters have come to look forward to the week leading up to the U.S. Naval Academy’s commissioning ceremony—especially the flight demonstration squad practicing and performing their hold-your-breath maneuvers. “There’s nothing like hearing the Blue Angels overhead in Annapolis,” Visit Annapolis & Anne Arundel County Executive Director Kristen Pironis told Bay Bulletin. “We are delighted to welcome back the Blue Angels flight demonstration. It’s a much-anticipated tradition that brings residents and visitors together in a celebration and recog-

nesses have helped pave the way for a robust season that welcomes visitors and demonstrates to all what a resilient people and community we are.” With that, here’s what you need to know to watch the Blue Angels safely and soundly, as well as loudly, from land

The Preserve at Eisenhower Golf Course Reopens BY KATHY KNOTTS

ong before there was Tiger Woods, there was Al Green. Anne Arundel County honored Green, the first African American golf club head pro in the state, during the re-opening of The Preserve at Eisenhower Golf Course last month. Green, a native of Mulberry Hill, won more than 50 professional events over his career, earning him a spot in the National Black Golf Hall of Fame. He has played in three U.S. Opens and was the first Black golfer to participate in the PGA’s Club Pro Championship. The Eisenhower Golf Course, also known as The Ike, opened in Crownsville in 1969, with Green as the state’s first head club professional. The course, named for the 34th president and avid golfer Dwight D. Eisenhower, reopened May 1 after an extensive $5 million renovation.

The course, named for the 34th president and avid golfer Dwight D. Eisenhower, reopened May 1 after an extensive $5 million renovation. The redesign coincided with a rebrand to “The Preserve” reflecting not only the Eisenhower serving local players as a championship golf course, but its goal to become a sanctuary for local wildlife. The new name embodies a golf course layout that promotes sustainability and eco-friendly maintenance practices, including stream preservation, amid a natural setting. The eco-friendly approach is the work of golf course architect Andrew Green and highlighted by the removal of all bunkers

and the installation of Bermuda grass fairways and tee boxes, which require less water and chemicals to maintain. “We are delighted we can finally share the magnificent transformation Andrew and his team have been working on,” says Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman, who was on hand for the ribbon cutting ceremony, along with representatives from Anne Arundel County Recreation & Parks and Indigo Golf Partners. “Local and visiting golfers will immediately notice how innovative the layout is and its continuation as an indispensable environmental refuge.” Working with the Anne Arundel County Watershed Protection and Restoration Program, an additional $5,587,556 of funding was utilized for a stream restoration and storm water management project. Designers say The Preserve will increase wetlands by more than 13 acres, bringing wildlife to the area, and include an abundance of boardwalk. Details: https://www.thepreserveateisenhower.com/

eeking to limit pollution and improve water quality, Anne Arundel County is encouraging communities near the Bay to convert private septic systems to the public sewer. A new Anne Arundel Clean Water program—dubbed Our wAAter—was just launched to protect local waterways and the Bay. More than 40,000 properties in the county use on-site septic systems, which can significantly pollute water. In some neighborhoods located close to waterways, septic systems can release up to eight times more pollutants into the Bay than the county’s water reclamation facilities, officials say. The program has five initiatives: wastewater treatment enhancements, septic-to-sewer connections, groundwater resiliency, stormwater improvements and small system upgrades. “In densely located subdivisions near the water, even well-maintained septic systems can release harmful pollutants into the Bay,” says Chris Phipps, director of the county’s Department of Public Works. “The Septic-to-Sewer Connection Program will improve water quality and public health by converting up to 6,000 private septic systems to public sewer connections over the next 30 years, or approximately 200 per year.” And it’s not just about the Bay. Contaminants from wastewater may even reach drinking water if septic systems are not operating properly or are located too close to private drinking water wells. “It is a community decision to connect to public sewer,” says Matt Diehl, public information officer with the Department of Public Works. “Communities can request a pre-application meeting to learn more and determine if they want to submit an application.” The Department of Public Works then reviews, scores and ranks the applications and identifies communities to award subsidies based on specific evaluation criteria. A conceptual approach will be developed and costs presented to these communities.

The new tuition-free Orion Youth Orchestra, under the direction of ASO’s Maestro José-Luis Novo, has now waived fees for applications received before May 31. Photo courtesy Annapolis Symphony Orchestra.

—CHRIS PHIPPS, DIRECTOR OF ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS “It would then be up to the community to submit a formal petition for sewer service to the Department of Public Works,” Diehl says. “Once a petition is received, the Department of Public Works will proceed with preliminary engineering and develop firm costs to each individual homeowner, accounting for county subsidies and state funding. A majority of homeowners then need to vote in favor to proceed to final engineering design and construction. Costs can vary, depending on several factors, including density of homes and location relative to the existing sewer system.” The program is designed to reduce homeowner costs through county subsidies, deferrals, and assistance with state funding. Each project is estimated to take three to four years from the time of

application to completion of construction. To determine if your community is eligible for the Our wAAter program, visit ourwaater.com and enter your address in the search bar.

Switching from septic means homeowners will no longer need to maintain private septic systems - no more pump outs.

In Love with Local

Farms, farmers markets blossom under public support BY JILLIAN AMODIO

ARMERS MARKETS have been a part of American life for decades. Generations of people have fond memories of strolling through aisles of vendors selling everything from fresh produce and farm-raised meats to handmade soaps and beauty products. Americans have been trending towards anything related to sustainable living and welcome opportunities to learn from those in agricultural sectors. This already popularizing trend was further amplified with the shift in demand brought by the pandemic. In the early days and weeks of the shutdown, grocery stores struggled to keep items in stock. Farmers and local growers stepped up to do what they

could to fill the void and help meet the surge in demand. Russell Shlagel of Shlagel Farms in Waldorf says that at the beginning of

the pandemic there was such a need for meats, eggs, produce, and dairy products that they had customers driving from Virginia, utilizing the farm’s newly implemented online ordering option. Debbie Jones of Windy Willow Farm in Sunderland started selling farm-raised, sustainably sourced, meat products in 2009. She says that pre-pandemic they had a steady flow of business and a regular stream of repeat customers who relied on the farm for meat, eggs, and pantry products. With the arrival of the pandemic, their business surged and they struggled to keep up with demand. “People couldn’t get the foods they

Bobi Crispens, owner of Crispens’ Farms in Millersville, says they too experienced a large increase in business and that the pandemic turned people who were just occasional buyers into regular customers. 10 • BAY WEEKLY • May 20 - May 27, 2021

wanted at the grocery stores so they began to flock to local farms. I hope they remember us in the future when things start to get back to normal,” Jones says. Because farms were considered essential businesses many were able to stay open and fully operational, helping with the surges in supply and demand, and keeping individuals employed during a time when many were let go. As the lockdown continued, the looming food shortages forced people to think about where they get their food. With more time spent at home, more focus on preparing at-home meals, and more opportunities to think about where the items we consume come from, people started to concern themselves not only with what they were consuming but also the process it took to get it from farm to table. Quality and a quest for knowledge became a new focus of attention for many. Farm fresh has become more than just a slogan. It’s an accurate description that tells the tale of the quality of the items consumers depend on. The increased demand and the satisfaction of customers new and old have brought Jones and farmers like her new perspective. “It has solidified the idea that we are serving the people and the public,” she says. “My vision and my goal have always been to show people that local can be affordable, available, and better quality.” Pat Hanners of Goose Creek Farm in Huntingtown is a retired chemist turned farmer. Armed with a degree in botany and generational knowledge from his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Hanners has found success in the mushroom business. He, too, faces the struggle of keeping up with the increase in demand for quality mushrooms including highly coveted varieties such as shiitake. Hanners says that sales have been increasing dramatically over the past CONTINUED O

mind consumers that buying locally can be more affordable. In addition to cutting emissions and costs, there is an educational aspect and a family bonding opportunity as well. “We had a surge of people come out to our pick your own fields last year. They came out for an activity and were surprised at how fun it was to pick their own food,” he says.

few years and he constantly finds himself asking how he can supply the current demand. He says that education is just as important as the product and he strives to spread the knowledge and science of growing mushrooms. “We like to educate the public through tours and tutorials on how to cultivate their own mushrooms,” he says. His products are so highly regarded that he has people come from out of state to buy them.

GROWING WITH CHANGES

LOCALLY GROWN AND LOVED

uying local has a positive impact on the economy, the lives of residents, and the environment as a whole. According to Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation, “in Maryland, if every household purchased just $12 worth of farm products for eight weeks, over $200 million would be put back into our farmers pockets.” There is a decreased risk of foodborne illness when foods are not shipped across the country or from overseas. Freshness and quality are also higher when foods are sourced locally. When consumers purchase products that are local (especially native varieties) the use of harmful pesticides, fertilizers, and emissions are greatly reduced. Local shopping also reduces food waste. Derek Turner of Bowling Green Farm in Bryantown has found that his customers are incredibly insightful,

nother factor that helped ignite the demand for farm-to-table consumerism was the COVID-cautious appeal of food shopping outdoors. Bobi Crispens, of Crispens’ Farms in Millersville, says they too experienced a large increase in business. “The biggest response we heard from our customers was that they would much rather be out picking vegetables from the market or stands because they didn’t want to be indoors and they feel much safer than going to the grocery store,” he says. Crispens adds that the pandemic turned people who were just occasional buyers into regular customers. To continue providing outdoor shopping and access to quality food products many markets had to readjust to ensure they were following state and county guidelines and protocols. Markets have gone virtual or added drivethru options. Matt Corley, spokesman for the Bowie Farmers’ Market says that last year was the first time in the history of the market that they diverted to a drive-thru-only operation.

Calvert County had initially responded to the pandemic last year by offering a drive-up-only market. While the Calvert County Farmers Market has re-opened for walk-through shopping while masked, they are still offering drive-up service for those who are more comfortable. Kelly Swann, Agriculture Development Specialist for Calvert County says that while there are plans for a virtual market to be available in the fall, the county has shifted much of its focus currently to making the outdoor markets available to residents and vendors. With the pandemic having robbed us of so much social interaction, the county is eager to offer these markets in the same pre-pandemic fashion. The market in Prince Frederick at the CalvertHealth Medical Cen-

ter is now offering both a traditional walk-up market experience as well as a drive-up option. Patrons will have the option to walk through the vendors or remain in their cars while market vendors deliver products to them. Anne Arundel County is offering a brand new market this year as well. The new Glen Burnie Farmer’s Market was set to open last year, however, the pandemic created too much uncertainty, so organizers decided to wait until 2021 to officially launch. The market will be in the Glen Burnie Town Center on Thursdays beginning in mid-June and running through Labor Day 2021. Supporting local business is a helpful and sustainable way to ease back into the social interactions that have long been lost, as well as support neighbors and friends, and reduce our carbon footprint. Many farmers and vendors want consumers to know that buying local can be affordable and provide lasting health benefits. Many of the markets are now able to accept WIC, SNAP, EBT, and Senior benefits which ensures that a nutritious diet can be achieved by all Marylanders. Local farms continue to offer delivery and curbside pickup and are encouraging consumers to continue supporting local agriculture, farming, and sustainable living through continued patronage even after life returns to normal. p For a full list of Maryland markets, farms, and stands as well as their hours of operation visit smadc.com/buy-local-guide/.

STORY AND PHOTO BY WAYNE BIERBAUM

Spring Songs by the Thrush Family

iva Regional Park is a small park near where I live with soccer fields, softball and baseball diamonds, and a multi-court basketball area. There also is a paved walking path around part of its perimeter. Once or twice a month, I go walking there and bring my camera. Part of the walk is along the edge of a wooded area with large trees in the back and younger trees near the path, and part is along an unkempt fence row and part goes through a forest with a small stream. Those various environments mean there are various animal species, too. Each year there have been a couple of families of wood thrush that live in the woods by the stream. This weekend, I heard the melodic calls of the birds as I took my walk. Their voice sounds like it comes from an echo chamber. I heard two other thrush species, too, the hermit thrush and the American robin. All three species can be found in this area and all have decent sing-

ing voices. They feed on similar foods, worms, insects, and berries. They differ in where they prefer to live. The wood thrush is associated with the deep woods of old forests. It is reddish-brown in coloration and has almost black spots on its white chest. The hermit thrush is a darker tan color but a little reddish in its tail and has brown streaky spots on a paler chest. They seem to prefer younger woods and the edge of woods. The American robin seems to be found everywhere but is comfortable foraging in open fields and unlike the other two thrushes, has easily adapted to living around humans. They are the largest of the species and have a yellow bill, dark gray back, and a reddish chest. Other thrush species migrate through our area to northern forests.

A wood thrush. Swainson’s thrush, Bicknell’s thrush, grey-cheeked thrush, and the veery are similar-looking birds that migrate through our area. They are often confused with the hermit thrush (which has a distinctive reddish tail). The song of the wood thrush is worth listening to, preferably in person. They are found in most of the older deciduous forests in our area but I know that early in the morning, before 9 a.m. they can be heard at Riva Regional Park. Follow the paved path clockwise from the basketball court and listen near the second small bridge.

hile the petals have probably fallen from the flurry of Mother’s Day bouquets, the gift of flowers remains a powerful symbol for people. People around the world use them to mark rites of passage, festivals and significant life events. Lilies and tulips represent renewal during spring and Easter. Roses on Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day convey love. Weddings and funerals aren’t complete without flowers. Flowers are a booming business and the global cut flower industry is worth $55 billion per year according to Rabobank. Mother’s Day accounts for 26 percent of all holiday purchases of cut flowers and potted plants. Next time you buy flowers, I encourage you to think locally and sustainably. Behind the beautiful bouquets can be significant environmental and human costs. Imported cut flowers are flown thousands of miles in refrigerated airplane holds.

The second rockfish season has begun and the legal limit for stripers is 19 inches with a possession limit of one for FISHFINDER recreational anglers but two fish for anyone engaging a commercial charter. The trophy season was short but seemed all the shorter for the nasty winds that continued to blow this month. There are still some big migrators cruising the Bay, however, so don’t discount the probability you can still hook up with a giant. Anything over 19 inches is legal. The white perch have moved into the creeks and river shallows with the advent of warmer weather so they too will add to the opportunities of enjoying a solid day on the water. Summer is here and the time is right for the great outdoors.

BY DENNIS DOYLE

Setting Up a Charter Trip O ne of the more pleasurable ways for a group of people to enjoy an adventure on the Chesapeake is to take a charter boat fishing trip for striped bass. The first item to consider for most outings is the number of people going, which will inform the type and size of the boat needed. Most charter boat captains carry a six-pack license. That means they are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard to carry up to six passengers on their vessel. Beyond the six-passenger rating there are additional Inspected Vessel Ratings for boats with greater capacities, but decide first how many you intend to include before you make inquiries. If you are researching online, be sure to read all of the information available on the charter’s website. It will answer many of your questions before you speak to anyone. Your charter boat will have all the licensing necessary for guests fishing and the cruise. Be sure to inquire if fish cleaning services are included and that your guests know to bring zip-top baggies and a cooler of some type in their vehicles so that they may transport their catch back home. Tackle is provided by most charters and it will simplify things greatly if everyone uses the charter’s equip-

will pull multiple lures behind to entice the fish to strike. Anglers will then take turns handling the rods and fighting the fish to the boat. The tackle is rather heavy duty but the fish can be as well. The only downside to this approach is that the angler is not always actively involved in the fishing process and if the bite is slow, it can become boring, though of course the company they are in should provide some distraction. The second technique to consider is chumming and fishing cut bait or live lining. In this instance the angler will each have a rod and reel, instruction on how to handle the gear and will be expected to hook and fight their own fish. It is not overly complicated and is really the best way to accomplish everyone enjoying themselves. S U ND AY

Charters usually provide water but don’t usually have foul weather gear. Everyone should know if rain is a possibility to have a light raincoat, though the boat usually has at least partial overhead covering. Food and adult beverages during your voyage can often be negotiated. One very important detail is to advise everyone to take motion sickness medicines with their breakfasts— you never know what type of weather will be encountered on the water. A bit of wind is a possibility anytime and once an episode of seasickness begins it is too late to medicate. It will also be prudent to have some on hand as people assemble at the boat in case anyone has forgotten. The captain will only have one option of dealing with an individual episode—ending the charter for everyone. This can be a serious consideration, do not ignore it. Charter boat anglers have a special exemption to current rockfish regulations in that they can keep two fish over 19 inches. That is meant to ensure a continuation of the policy of encouraging everyone to enjoy the Chesapeake and allow as many as possible to participate in its outdoor adventures. p

hen Warner Brothers announced that it would be releasing its entire 2021 slate on HBOMax as well as in theaters as part of their plan for the pandemic, there were mixed results. Movies like Godzilla vs Kong and The Suicide Squad are no doubt served better as big-screen features. But arguably films like Those Who Wish Me Dead benefit from this streaming deal, because this movie was meant to be watched on a rainy Saturday while scrolling on your phone. If you pay any closer attention to this film, you’ll fall into one of the plot holes and break something. The movie follows Hannah (Angelina Jolie: The One and Only Ivan), a smokejumper who was left traumatized after a decision she made cost the lives of four people. Unable to pass a psych evaluation and rejoin her team, she’s exiled to a fire lookout tower in the middle of the Montana woods. It’s here she finds Connor (Finn Little: Harrow), a boy who’s being chased by two assassins who murdered his father. Just before he died, Connor’s dad gave him the only proof of a massive conspiracy that implicates…pret-

ty much everyone other than Hannah in a vast criminal conspiracy. If the two assassins don’t kill Connor and recover the evidence, they and their powerful employers are as good as dead. Hannah must lead Connor out of the woods, avoiding both the assassins and a raging wildfire that threatens to consume everything in its path. Can Hannah overcome her trauma and save Connor? Think of this movie as The Client meets Backdraft if neither of those movies was particularly interesting. Based on a book that I hope was better than this, Those Who Wish Me Dead is a thriller with very few thrills. Director/co-writer Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone) spends no time developing the characters of anyone on screen. As such, there’s very little to care about when bullets and fire start spreading through the frame. The movie also suffers from dreadful pacing that kills any tension even though a fire is threatening to immolate all the characters. The unconvincing fire is only one of the issues holding the film back. This is a movie that doesn’t bother with answers when ambiguity will do. We don’t know who specifically is trying to kill Connor, we don’t know what evidence Connor has, we don’t even get to see the contents of the note Connor’s father left his son. Hannah’s trauma is also one of those clear-cut no-one’sfault issues that will be easily solved by the end of the film. Those Who Wish Me Dead has no interest in its own

story, so it’s hard to understand why the audience should. Part of the problem is the complete lack of stakes. Jolie does the bare minimum to keep Hannah from being a blank slate. She spends most of the film looking lovely but not entirely comfortable with the role she has. She has a few genuine moments with Little, but for the most part, she’s rather vacant. As a side note, my movie companion (a former firefighter) was horrified that Jolie spent about 90 percent of the movie with her long, billowy hair flowing around her shoulders. Hair is quite flammable and people who fight fires for a living keep it tied up. Unfortunately, the only character that sparks real interest or drama is Medina Senghore’s Allison. A pregnant woman who runs a wilderness survival school, Allison encounters the assassins and gives them quite the run for their money. Senghore (Happy) imbues Allison with a steely determination that makes her the most compelling thing on the screen. Her struggle to save herself and her baby is far more interesting than the wildfire or the plight of Connor and Hannah. Though we’re getting back to a time when people are going to physical theaters, it should be remembered that streaming is still a viable option for moviegoers who aren’t comfortable buying a ticket just yet. Because no one wants to pay $13 per person to sit in a theater and watch this. Poor Thriller * R * 100 mins.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION Family Values

You let your grown son, his girlfriend and their child move into your house, and what thanks do you get in return? For a 43-year-old Lone Rock, Wisconsin, woman, “Happy Mother’s Day” was expressed with a shock to the neck from a Taser wielded by her 22-year-old son, Andrew Peterson. According to The Smoking Gun, Peterson became upset on May 9 because he couldn’t find his phone, so he stunned his mother, then left her home with 20-year-old Colleen Parker and their child. Peterson was arrested for the shocking assault; Parker also was arrested for allegedly punching Peterson’s mom in the face earlier in the week.

Awesome!

Four-year-old Noah of Brooklyn, New York, knows nautical nonsense when he sees it, so he went all-in on SpongeBob SquarePants Popsicles, ordering 918 of them from Amazon in April without his mom knowing. When 51 cases arrived at his aunt’s home, his mom panicked: Jennifer Bryant is a social work graduate student at NYU and has two other boys, The Washington Post reported. She couldn’t pay the $2,618.85 bill, and Amazon wouldn’t take the frozen confections back. A family friend set up a GoFundMe page, raising more than $11,000, which Noah’s mom said will go toward his education. Noah is on the autism spectrum, and his mom hopes to send him to a special school. Amazon is working with the family to donate to a private charity of their choice, and as for the treats? They’ve mostly melted.

Government in Action

Since 1989, Mauro Morandi, now 81, has been the caretaker of Budelli, an otherwise uninhabited island in the Mediterranean Sea off Sardinia. He stumbled into the job when his catamaran broke down near the island and he learned that its caretaker was getting ready to retire, The Guardian reported. Now known as Italy’s Robinson Crusoe, Morandi lives in a former World War II shelter and keeps things tidy on the island, clearing paths and keeping beaches clean for day-trippers who visit. But ownership of the island has passed to La Maddalena national park authorities, who are evicting Morandi and turning the small isle into an environmental education destination. “I have given up the fight,” Morandi said. “I’ll be living in the outskirts of the main town (on neighboring island La Maddalena), so will just go there for shopping and the rest of the time keep myself to myself. ... I’ll still see the sea.”

Weird Science

Angie Yen, 27, of Brisbane, Australia, had her tonsils removed on April 19, a simple surgery that went smoothly, News.com reported. But on April 28, as she got ready for work, she started singing in the shower and noticed something unusual about her voice. “I was singing in a different sound and also talking words in a funny accent,” Yen said. She called a friend, who agreed that her accent suddenly sounded Irish and told her about FAS, foreign accent syndrome. Yen went to the hospital, but doctors told her to go home and see if the new accent would disappear in a few days. Nearly two weeks later, the brogue remains, and Yen is

scheduled for an MRI and a visit with a neurologist. “I’m very lucky to have very supportive friends and family,” she said. “If they find something hopefully there is a cure or treatment for it.”

Lost and Found

Parker Hanson, a pitcher at Augustana College in Illinois, was born without a left hand, but he adapted over the years so that he could still play his favorite game. On May 3, Hanson realized that the backpack he had left in his car, which contained his prosthetic arm and some of its attachments, had been stolen. Hanson told the Argus Leader that he had lost hope of finding the expensive prosthetic and had started to focus on fundraising for a new one when he received a text on May 11. Nate Riddle and Tim Kachel, who work at Millennium Recycling Inc. in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, found the arm as they sorted recycling materials. “I recognized it instantly,” said Kachel, who had heard about the theft on the news. “I was jumping up and down screaming ‘Stop!’” While Hanson is happy to have it back, he said the arm is “pretty banged up” and unusable. Shriners Children’s Twin Cities has stepped up to provide Hanson with a new arm free of charge, and his fundraising money will be donated to help other amputees get their own prosthetics. “If I can help impact some kid’s life for a positive, then that’s what I’ll take out of this whole experience,” Hanson said.

Smile for the Camera

The Colonial Pipeline shutdown and subsequent gas shortage has produced its fair share of hysteria-fueled incidents in the Southeast, but Jesse Smith, 25, of Griffin, Georgia, may have set the bar. Police there were able to track down and arrest the would-be thief after he attempted to steal gas from a U-Haul truck on May 12 by drilling holes in its tank, resulting in a huge hazardous materials mess ... and no looted gas. WSB-TV reported that Smith was long gone by the time his handiwork was discovered, but security cameras in the U-Haul lot caught Smith walking around the trucks, and a camera trained on the area behind the KFC where Smith parked his own truck caught his hopeful arrival and the walk of shame that followed his failed gas heist.

Slave to Fashion

Among the items unveiled in Louis Vuitton’s fall/winter 2021 men’s collection in January was a leather “Keepall” bag, shaped like a miniature airplane and covered with the ubiquitous LV logo, which went viral April 2 when a Twitter user pointed out that an actual airplane could be purchased on eBay for less than the Keepall’s $39,000 price tag. Oddity Central reported the bag, designed by Vuitton menswear artistic director Virgil Abloh, features wings, a tail and four engines; the used single-engine Cessna was listed at $32,300 on eBay.

the school around 8:30 a.m. and blended in with the students by wearing a backpack and carrying a skateboard and a painting. According to Click Orlando, the wannabe social media mogul said she was looking for the registration office when confronted by security, but she was later found outside a classroom handing out flyers with her Instagram handle printed on them. This time Francisquini fled, but police used her flyers and footage from the school’s security cameras to identify and arrest her on charges of felony trespassing, interfering at an educational institution and resisting an officer without violence.

Least Competent Criminal

When Keith Adams, 37, was arrested during a traffic stop on April 24 in Largo, Florida, he was found to be sitting on a “glass pipe which contained a thick white residue which field tested positive for cocaine,” The Smoking Gun reported. Adams, who wears a prosthetic leg, was asked during his arrest if he had anything concealed in his leg and was warned that if he did, it would result in another charge. Adams denied that there was anything in his leg, but when he was searched at the Pinellas County jail, officers found a gram of fentanyl and some Xanax pills. Adams was detained on three felony charges and one misdemeanor.

Mistaken Identity

Zhang Li, a Chinese woman who lives

in Shanghai, decided in 2018 to get a pet. She wasn’t really into cats or dogs, though, so she purchased a micro-pig, Oddity Central reported. Her research said that the animals were clean and intelligent, and usually grew to be about the size of a small dog. By the time Zhang’s pig grew to 330 pounds, she was too attached to it to let it go. The breed, Bama Xiangzhu, is known in food circles for its tender meat and thin skin, and among owners for its healthy appetite. Zhang takes her pig for walks but says she gets annoyed at its laziness.

Sweet Revenge

On May 4, in Taipei, two masked men entered the G House Taipei restaurant carrying bags filled with more than 1,000 cockroaches, Oddity Central reported. They released the creepy crawlies at the reception desk on the second floor, then fled. Law enforcement officers who happened to be attending a banquet at the restaurant that evening initially thought the attack was directed at them, but as it turns out, the suspects are part of Bamboo Union, an organized crime ring, and the restaurant owner allegedly owed money to the mob. Police said they would pursue the perpetrators as if the stunt had been an act of violence, something like attacking someone with paint. p Send your weird news items with subject line WEIRD NEWS to WeirdNewsTips@amuniversal.com.

Has anyone gotten your goat by irritating you to anger? Did you even know you had a goat to get? Well, this saying had its beginnings in horse racing. Apparently, thoroughbred racehorses are an unstable bunch when stabled, and need a stabilizing friend to stabilize their instability. So, stablers established the stabilization practice of stabling a goat with the horse to reestablish calm. But if someone wanted to destabilize the horse in order for it to lose a race, the detestable method was to steal the stablemate goat. Got it? Well, give it back.
